MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.13 is a new release of MySQL Cluster,
incorporating new features in the
NDB storage engine and fixing
recently discovered bugs in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1
Obtaining MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1. The latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 binaries for supported platforms can be obtained from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/. Source code for the latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 release can be obtained from the same location. You can also access the MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 development source tree at https://code.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-cluster-7.1.
This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in previous MySQL Cluster releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.1 through MySQL 5.1.56 (see Changes in MySQL 5.1.56 (2011-03-01)).
Functionality Added or Changed
It is now possible to add data nodes online to a running MySQL
Cluster without performing a rolling restart of the cluster or
starting data node processes with the
--nowait-nodes option. This can be
done by setting
Nodegroup =
65536 in the
config.ini file for
any data nodes that should be started at a later time, when
first starting the cluster. (It was possible to set
NodeGroup to this value
previously, but the management server failed to start.)
As part of this fix, a new data node configuration parameter
has been added. When the management server sees that there are
data nodes with no node group (that is, nodes for which
Nodegroup = 65536), it
milliseconds before treating these nodes as though they were
listed with the
option, and proceeds to start.
For more information, see Adding MySQL Cluster Data Nodes Online. (Bug #11766167, Bug #59213)
config_generation column has been added to
nodes table of the
ndbinfo database. By checking
this column, it is now possible to determine which version or
versions of the MySQL Cluster configuration file are in effect
on the data nodes. This information can be especially useful
when performing a rolling restart of the cluster to update its
Cluster API: A unique index operation is executed in two steps: a lookup on an index table, and an operation on the base table. When the operation on the base table failed, while being executed in a batch with other operations that succeeded, this could lead to a hanging execute, eventually timing out with Error 4012 (Request ndbd time-out, maybe due to high load or communication problems). (Bug #12315582)
A memory leak in
LGMAN, that leaked 8 bytes
of log buffer memory per 32k written, was introduced in MySQL
Cluster NDB 7.0.9, effecting all MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 releases
as well as MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.9 and later MySQL Cluster NDB
7.0 releases. (For example, when 128MB log buffer memory was
used, it was exhausted after writing 512GB to the undo log.)
This led to a GCP stop and data node failure.
(Bug #60946)
References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #47966.
When using ndbmtd, a MySQL Cluster configured with 32 data nodes failed to start correctly. (Bug #60943)
When performing a TUP scan with locks in parallel, and with a highly concurrent load of inserts and deletions, the scan could sometimes fail to notice that a record had moved while waiting to acquire a lock on it, and so read the wrong record. During node recovery, this could lead to a crash of a node that was copying data to the node being started, and a possible forced shutdown of the cluster.
Cluster API: Performing interpreted operations using a unique index did not work correctly, because the interpret bit was kept when sending the lookup to the index table.

Humane Society to Host Putts for Pets Golf Scramble
The Humane Society of Wichita County has a big job, and along with it comes big expense. It's not cheap to shelter, feed, care for, and get medicine to pets in the shelter. For this reason, they have fund raisers from time to time, and usually they're a lot of fun.
On Friday, June 29th, the Humane Society will be hosting a Putts for Pets Golf Scramble at Champions Course at Weeks Park. They'll have a full round of golf, driving range, snacks, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, and prizes.
If that's not fun, I'm not sure what is. Give me a beer, a golf cart, and some clubs, and I'm ready to tee off!
The event is being sponsored by Sullivan Toyota, and registration will begin around 12:30. The event will officially kick off at 1:00, and you can register before the day of the event. You'll be competing as a four-person team, which is $400 for the group, or if you don't want to golf, you can become a sponsor and simply donate to the scramble.
If you'd like more information or would like to be registered early, text or call Rachel at 940-867-3782. You can also email email@example.com. There's also more information on Facebook.
If you're looking for a great time in the Falls, this is one to check out.

It seemed maybe that Kenya could not do too much today, but that had a lot to do with the quality of our play. It was our goal to maintain our own high-level of performance."Netherlands captain Manon Flier:"I'm happy with the victory. It's good that we had some opportunities to play with some different players today. We played quite well, but made maybe too many errors in the service. It was good to see how Kenya play with a lot of joy. I think we did a good job."Kenya coach Hidehiro Irisawa:"We didn't play well enough against a very hard team. We tried to get a point with only one spike, so we weren't ready for longer rallies. We made too many mistakes and walked into a defeat."I have mainly focused on reception and discipline, such as keeping rules and being on time. I feel sorry for my players, because they don't have a big gym for practising."Kenya captain Brackcides Khadambi:"Today our reception was very poor. That is why they could win 8 straight points. Also our attack was not so good."We felt that perhaps we could win the match (at 12-12 in the second set). But after that, our team went down and we lost."

SACBC was established on May 26, 1961 and became independent from the Alameda Buddhist Temple on April 8, 1965. As a member of the Buddhist Churches of America, which has its headquarters in nearby San Francisco, we are part of the Jodo Shinshu branch, or what is also known as the Pure Land sect.
Services were held in homes, a grammar school and a hall in Fremont until the purchase of 3.5 acres in Union City on April 24, 1961. The temple was first built in the early 1960's and classrooms were soon constructed next to the hondo in 1965. A shrine was donated by the Oxnard Buddhist Temple in March of 1967. Then, in the 1970's the minister's residence and Sangha Hall were built.
Affiliated and Associate organizations established includes: Japanese Language School (1964), Fujinkai/Buddhist Women's Association (1965), Jr. YBA (1965), Dharma School (1965) Choir (1970), YABA (1994), Boy Scouts and O' Nami Taiko group (1997).
In October of 2002, the Church celebrated 40 years in its current location in Union City, CA.
On September 23, 2012, SACBC celebrated its 50th Anniversary.
The public is always welcomed to attend weekly Dharma Family Services held in English, Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. with Dharma School (Children K-12).and Dharma Sharing (Adult Discussion) immediately following.
The Church holds two fund-raising events per year: Crab Feast in January and Annual Bazaar in July. Our Obon Festival is held in August.

Over half of all people with chronic kidney disease experience some problem with sexual function. This can vary from just a lack of interest to a complete inability to reach orgasm. For many people, this can have a devastating effect on their self-esteem and put further stress on an already stressed intimate relationship.
Talking with one's partner or the healthcare team about sexuality, orgasm, or sexual problems may cause feelings of embarrassment. Because these topics sometimes make us feel uncomfortable, many people choose to ignore the problem. Whatever the cause or difficulty, sexual problems can often be corrected.
Fatigue Fatigue is a major factor. Any chronic illness is tiring, and chronic kidney disease, which is often accompanied by anemia and a demanding treatment, practically guarantees fatigue. Depression Depression is another common issue. Almost everyone experiences periods of depression, and one of the symptoms of depression is loss of interest in sexual intimacy. Medications Medications can also affect one's ability or desire to have intercourse. Since there may be other medications which are just as effective without the side effect of loss of sexual function or desire, talk to your doctor about your pills. Feelings about body image Having a peritoneal catheter, or a fistula or graft, may cause some people to avoid physical contact for fear of feeling less attractive or worrying about what people think when they look at them. DiseasesSome diseases, such as vascular disease and diabetes, can lead to decreased blood flow in the genital area, decreased sexual desire, vaginal dryness and impotence.
The most important thing is to feel comfortable discussing your problems. Talk to the member of your healthcare team with whom you feel most at ease – your doctor, social worker, nurse or pharmacist.
For menCommon concerns may be erectile dysfunction (problems achieving or keeping an erection), reduced sexual desire (low libido), and ejaculation issues. Treatment options may include counselling, penile implant, male hormones, oral medications or those which are injected. Ask your doctor for a referral to an erectile dysfunction specialist for a complete evaluation including a review of your medications.For womenWomen may also experience decreased libido. For those who have problems with vaginal dryness, a number of options are available: creams or devices that contain estrogen can be put into the vagina; lubricants can also be used. In addition, regular sexual stimulation in any form helps improve vaginal moisture. Talk to your partner about your needs.
Here are some things that may help change how you feel about yourself.

A bizarre series of events left a man dead and his friend hurt along a busy southeast Pennsylvania interstate overnight.
It all began when Daniel Raymond's Suzuki became disabled on the left shoulder of northbound Interstate-95 just before Exit 49 in Lower Makefield, Bucks County just after midnight.
Raymond's passenger Benjamin Melendez then called a friend to come and help them. That friend, Maria Nyars arrived a short time later and pulled over on the right shoulder of the northbound lanes, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Melendez, 30 of Trenton, N.J., began to cross the road to meet his friend when he was struck by the mirror of a passing Lexus. The force of the crash left Melendez sitting upright in the right-hand lane, according to investigators.
Seeing his friend in the roadway, Raymond, 36 of Levittown, Pa., darted into traffic to try and drag Melendez to safety.
A passing Hyundai Santa Fe then struck both Melendez and Raymond.
The force of the crashes killed Melendez and landed Raymond in St. Mary Medical Center with undisclosed injuries.
The drivers of both cars stayed on the scene of the accident and were not intoxicated, according to police.
State Police said they would investigate if alcohol use played any role in the victims' actions.
The full cause of the crash remained under investigation Sunday.
Police didn't immediately charge anyone.

Why Write a Book?
So let's say you're a law professor, especially one, like me, with little formal graduate training in history, who has published several articles on a common historical theme in law reviews. Your dean and your colleagues don't seem to value academic books, and indeed seem to think that an article published in a top twenty law review is more impressive than a book published with a major university press. Why might you nevertheless choose to pursue a time-consuming book project?
First, if you are engaged in serious historical research, and want historians to be aware of and engage with your research, a book is a far better avenue to do so than are law review articles. Indeed, it strikes me that historians who don't teach at law schools are quite unlikely to read law review articles, but will review the same material if published in a peer-reviewed university press book. Even if they don't read the book, historians will have an opportunity to get the gist of your thesis by reading reviews of the book in their journals.
For example, my first book, Only Place of Redress: African Americans, Labor Regulations, and the Courts from Reconstruction to the New Deal, was reviewed in the Journal of American History, Labor History, Law and History Review, American Journal of Legal History, Reviews and American History, Journal of Economic History, among others. It also attracted reviews from several economics and public policy journals. So if you want to make an academic splash beyond the confines of legal academia, books are the way to go (but be aware that historians will judge you by the standards of their profession, and will be merciless if you do "law office history"). Even within legal academia, an academic press book suggests a seriousness and importance beyond what could be expected from a few law review articles.
Second, the world of academic publishing, while certainly not completely free from bias in favor of established scholars who teach at top schools, is far more meritocratic than the world of law reviews edited by 2nd and 3rd year law students. Thus, for example, a professor teaching at a "fourth tier" law school is far more likely to get a publication contract from a top academic press and than a publication offer from a top ten law review. Peer review obviously makes a significant difference in this regard.
Third, and most important, the process of writing a book will almost certainly make your work better and deeper (albeit at a great cost in time and energy). We all entertain fantasies about simply stringing together our past law review articles and turning them into a book. Indeed, I indulged this fantasy to far too great an extent when contemplating my new book, Rehabilitating Lochner: Defending Individual Rights against Progressive Reform. In practice, stringing law review articles together typically results in a bad, potentially unreadable, book. But taking a series of articles, editing them, re-editing them, deleting material that becomes extraneous to your narrative, and discovering new insights as one engages in further research and analysis, until you have a coherent manuscript--which then in turn benefits from the comments of peer reviewers and others--is a very beneficial process.
My original Rehabilitating Lochner book proposal had two themes. First, that Lochner and the liberty of contract doctrine had their origins in the natural rights tradition with the assistance of the anti-class legislation tradition. Second, that the practical effects of the liberty of contract doctrine were significantly more positive than has generally been assumed, especially with regard to civil liberties and the rights of minorities and women. As the manuscript developed, I de-emphasized the first theme (given that I and others had virtually exhausted the topic in the law review literature, didn't have much new to say, and thought that only a few potential readers really cared enough to follow a very lengthy discussion of the natural right vs. class legislation vs. other theories debate), while developing a new theme: that liberty of contract's Progressive opponents had significant ideological blindspots that make their views on a range of constitutional matters unattractive across the modern political spectrum (e.g., their general support for coercive eugenics and segregation laws). In other words, that one's assessment of the liberty of contract line of cases must include an assessment of the unattractive historically available alternative.
Finally, once I had already completed a draft manuscript, a four-hour long workshop at NYU over a two week period persuaded me to add another theme to the book: that modern liberal Fourteenth Amendment jurisprudence is as at least as much a legacy of the libertarian inclinations of pre-New Deal supporters of liberty of contract (and also of a more generally limited police power) as of their statist Progressive opponents (who thought the police power to be virtually unlimited).
This last theme is arguably the most significant theme of the book, especially given the dearth of historical work on the transition from Progressivism to New Deal and post-New Deal liberalism. Yet if I had limited my work to law reviews, it's unlikely I would have ever pursued it.

Does this:

suggest that some Warren Court decisions on individual rights are attributable to such libertarian inclinations?

David, thanks for joining us & thanks for this post! I just gave a talk to my colleagues on whether to do a book & how to go about it. I agree that one of the great benefits is peer review. I handed out a discussion of how to write a book proposal by Susan Ferber, a highly regarded history editor at Oxford University Press. She wrote it with recent PhDs in mind, taking the dissertation to a book, but her advice can be adapted to anyone. It's at this link: http://www.shafr.org/passport/2007/december/Ferber.pdf

BASF provides science experience for BISD students
BASF sponsored an interactive science experience for local students through the Trailblazer II traveling science program, offering hands-on learning activities for students to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers.
The event was held at the BASF location in Beaumont on Friday, March 7. Trailblazer II is a trailer equipped with exhibits focusing on space, energy, weather, aerodynamics and biotechnology. BASF provided funds to the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (TAME) to bring the science-on-wheels learning experience to fifth grade students from Pietzsch-MacArthur, Blanchette and Martin Elementary schools in the Beaumont Independent School District.
"Encouraging young students to take interest in STEM careers is vitally important to the Texas economy and the development of our state's future leaders," said Debbie Dalley, site manager for BASF in Beaumont. "We are pleased to support TAME and this innovative program which incorporates fun and excitement with hands on learning to make STEM subjects more accessible to students."
TAME reports that more than half of the U.S. population is female, yet only 12 percent of the nation's practicing engineers are women. In addition, less than 10 percent of engineering professionals are African-American, Hispanic or Native American, while these minority groups represent more than 25 percent of the population. The organization hopes to increase the number of underrepresented minorities and females pursuing STEM careers.
"We are pleased that BASF recognizes the value of investing in STEM education and supports our program," said Savita Raj, executive director of TAME.
BASF Corporation, headquartered in Florham Park, N.J., is the North American affiliate of BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany. BASF has nearly 17,000 employees in North America, and had sales of $19.4 billion in 2013. For more information about BASF's North American operations, visit www.basf.us.

The most adored classic fiction comes to life in the form of one of the most engaging slot machine games. The main difference here though is that you may not be able to actually distribute the wealth that you can win in the game.
The game can become the hero of Sherwood Forest while joined by the tiny little John and a lot of merry men with who the gamer can get on the case of the Sheriff of Nottingham and King John. This game can be played free online in the comfort of your home without the hassle of actually getting to a casino. This game is so much fun to play, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor has never been this good!
This free slot machine game can be connected to other casino games via the casino interface. The unique feature about this game is that the gamer can share the bankroll along with various other machines through this slot machine game. This slot machine game can be played solo or against other players online in slot tournaments. Once you rake up a good earning from your solo games, you can buy in to play in tournaments. How are tournaments played on slot machines you may ask? Well, the players all spin the same number of times and the gamer that gets the highest score is declared the winner. The winner can get a good amount of money that can't be earned when the game is played solo.
How it's played
The gamer can start with playing for as little as 1 pound; to get started, one has to just click on the circular arrows to get the reels moving. Otherwise, one can also press the 'max bet' to get the largest possible amount with the value of the coin that they have set. One of the best features of this game is that it keeps shifting, every time a winning combination is made, the reel that is placed on the right disappears and a fresh reel will get replaced on the left portion of the slots. This continues to pile up the winnings till no more winning combinations are made. It is important to keep in mind that with every successive win, there are benefits from an increasing greater multiplier.
Yet another interesting and attractive bonus feature about this game is free spins (or money bags). Every reel has a money bag symbol on it. In order to be able to play with bonuses, the gamer must be able to need to spin in a way that the money bag symbols land at least 4 times. When the money bag symbol is hit, you will see Robin Hood appear out of the reel and drop in a money bag into your treasure box which is located at the bottom of the screen. To be able to initiate for of these bonuses, the player needs to make a collection of four money bags in one treasure box.
This game has amazing graphics and to be able to play this game, there is no registration required and no download required. To get started there is no deposit that is required either. Isn't it too tempting not to try?

WASHINGTON -- The White House is going to great lengths to discourage defense contractors from sending layoff warnings to employees in the days before the presidential election, an effort Republicans are denouncing as politically motivated.
In the latest twist, the White House Office of Management and Budget issued a memo last week saying the government would cover the costs of any contractors that might face legal trouble if they have to lay off workers due to across-the-board spending cuts that kick in Jan. 2.
That guidance satisfied defense giant Lockheed Martin Corp., which said Tuesday it would not send notices telling workers they could lose their jobs if Congress can't find a way to prevent the automatic cuts, known as sequestration.
The Obama administration has sought to quell the fear of mass defense layoffs in presidential battlegrounds like Virginia, where letters sent in early November warning about the possibility of job losses could discourage thousands of defense workers from backing the incumbent.
The government's guarantee to foot the bill for legal problems, as long as contractors heed OMB's advice to refrain from warning about lob losses, is unusual.
"I don't know of any situation where the government has done this in the past," said William Gould, a labor professor at Stanford Law School.
Under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, employers of companies with 100 workers or more are required to provide notice 60 days in advance of a plant closing or mass layoffs. Otherwise, workers can sue to collect up to 60 days of back pay.
The administration's offer has outraged Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who claims the White House is ignoring the law and putting the government on the hook for up to $4 billion in legal damages to workers who are laid off but fail to get adequate warnings.
"Companies have a choice whether to rely on OMB's politically motivated guidance or to comply with the law," McCain said in a statement Wednesday. "But I can assure them that I will do everything in my power to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to compensate contractors who do not comply with the law."
McCain says he warned Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that he would deny any transfer of funds among defense accounts to pay for legal costs associated with contractors' failure to provide 60 days advance notice of layoffs.
In July, the Labor Department told contractors it would be "inappropriate" for employers to send such warnings because it is still speculative if and where the $110 billion in automatic spending cuts might occur. By law, about half the cuts would be in defense spending.
In a statement, Lockheed Martin said it was reassured by the latest OMB guidance that any action to cut defense contracts would not occur for several months after Jan. 2. After reviewing the guidance, the company said it would not issue warning notices this year.
Gould, a former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board under President Bill Clinton, said he believes the law supports the government's position that warnings are not necessary.
"At this juncture sequestration is a possibility and nothing more, and that does not trigger the obligation to issue the 60-day notice," he said.

Surface Water Quality Investigations
Did you know that most storm drains in Seattle discharge directly to our lakes, creeks, rivers and Puget Sound without treatment? It's true and you can help take an active role in the health of Puget Sound by reporting water pollution getting into storm drains or water bodies. SPU Inspectors investigate and respond to water quality reports Monday through Friday (except holidays and furloughs).
There are two ways to report water pollution; depending on the nature of the situation:
- Not an active threat to environment
Call the hotline at (206) 684-7587 or use the online report form to file a pollution report (see instructions below) when there is not an active, imminent threat to the environment or storm drains. Most often, some type of behavior change is needed to resolve the situation. Complaints include things like a leaking vehicle or a business with messy outdoor practices or a mobile business (such as a contractor) that may cause pollution to a storm drain.
- Active discharge with imminent threat to health, environment, or storm drains
Call our Dispatch Center at (206) 386-1800. Spills are active discharges where there is an imminent threat to health, the environment or storm drains. Spills may include a ruptured drum or tank, a vehicle accident that has resulted in a total loss of automotive fluids, such as gasoline or motor oil, or a significant sheen that can be seen on the surface of a lake or stream.
How do I file a pollution report?
- Online report form
- Call our hotline at (206) 684-7587
- Be sure to leave detailed information, including:
- A specific location, including an address or cross streets
- Time/date of your observation
- Was there an obvious source, such as a business or specific vehicle?
- Contact information. Please leave a name and call back number. If you would like to remain anonymous for public disclosure purposes, please let us know when calling.
What happens when I file a report?
- We will investigate your report within 1-3 working days of receiving it.
- The inspector may call you for more information or to clarify existing information.
- We will investigate the complaint and take action when warranted. Actions may include education, technical assistance or enforcement.
- The inspector will call you back and let you know what they found and what actions were taken to resolve the situation.
To report other problems
- For extreme emergencies such as spills involving fires or explosion hazard, call 911
- For drainage problems, including flooding or sewer backups, call (206) 386-1800
Environmental Compliance Inspector
What does a "day in the life" of an Environmental Compliance Inspector look like? Check out this episode of CityStream, featuring Eric Autry, SPU Environmental Compliance Inspector.
The Surface Water Quality Complaint Investigation Program is part of the City's overall Stormwater Management Plan, developed to comply with the requirements of the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Prohibited discharges to the City's drainage system are provided and enforced under the City's Stormwater Code, Chapter 22.800 – 22.808 and associated Director's Rules.

Springfield, IL – The Animal Welfare Institute commends the Illinois General Assembly for passing and sending to the governor legislation that allows the prosecution of leaders of dog fighting networks under Illinois' anti-racketeering (RICO) laws, providing an important new tool for prosecutors to apply against dog fighting organizers and financiers. Typically dogfight arrests result in charges against those physically at dogfights during raids" and breeders often face only misdemeanor charges. But the leaders of these operations often are not caught in dog fighting busts because they are not present and thus escape punishment. If, however, if certain dog fighting offenses are made a predicate crime under Illinois' RICO statute, the perpetrators would face tougher penalties than the current dog fighting law allows and the sentence could also include restitution and/or fines. The new law would also enable the state to seize assets from dog fight leaders, which could serve as an especially useful deterrent.
Animal fighting is barbaric. It is a violent crime that causes immense suffering to countless numbers of innocent animals. But it threatens our communities in many other ways. There is a strong connection between animal fighting and other forms of violence, and animal fighting is frequently associated with gangs, drugs, gambling, money laundering, illegal guns, and other offenses—even homicide. Reporting on the sentencing of the kingpin of a drug trafficking ring in Louisiana, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency described him as "an avid pit bull and cock fighter [who] utilized these illegal events as a networking tool to recruit members to transport and sell marijuana and cocaine for his organization." The Animal Legal and Historical Center at the Michigan State University College of Law describes dog fighting in these stark terms:
"The notion that dog fighting is simply an animal welfare issue is clearly erroneous…. The magnitude of criminal activity concurrently taking place at the average dogfight is of such a scope as to warrant the involvement of a wide range of agencies,including local, regional, and federal law enforcement agencies and their specialized divisions such as organized crime units, SWAT teams, and vice squads, as well as animal control agencies and child protective services."
"The Illinois legislature's action well serves the entire state by giving law enforcement a more powerful tool for prosecuting dog fighting," said Nancy Blaney, AWI Senior Policy Advisor. "We especially want to thank the bill's sponsor, Rep. Mike Zalewski, for working tirelessly to get the bill through the General Assembly, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel for making this a legislative priority. We urge Governor Quinn to sign this bill."

Take Time to Honor Military Kids' Service
- Details
- Category: News
- Created: Saturday, 31 March 2012 06:39
- Last Updated: Saturday, 31 March 2012 06:39
- Written by Administrator
"It's really important to recognize that military children also serve," Barbara Thompson, director of military community and family policy, children and youth, told the Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service.
It's also important, Thompson said, to take time to let military children "know how proud we are as Americans that they ... are supporting mom or dad in uniform, who is making great sacrifices for this country."
While frequent moves and school transitions can be challenging, Thompson said she believes the most challenging endeavor a military child has to endure is a parental separation due to deployment.
"While we've made great strides with technology and Skype ... it's not the same as having your mom or dad at your baseball game or high school graduation or one of your birthday parties," she said.
These separations can have a "serious impact" on military families' well-being, Thompson noted, particularly on the children. Younger children may experience separation and attachment issues, while older children may engage in risky behaviors, she explained.
Thompson noted a specific concern for children from Guard and Reserve families. These children, living in every community around the nation, may be lacking nearby support. A military child may be the only student in a school with a deployed parent, she said, and the school oftentimes isn't even aware.
"School districts are key partners," Thompson said. "That's where 92 percent of our school-age kids are located. They need to know they have military children in their schools."
To combat a sense of isolation, officials have posted information online to educate teachers, school administrators and parents on supporting military children.
On installations, child development centers, youth programs and the New Parent Support Program are geared for providing "safe havens" for military kids, Thompson said.
The department already has made strides by partnering with other agencies and organizations, she said. DOD works closely with Zero to Three's Coming Together Around Military Families initiative, and with Sesame Street's military support programs such as Talk, Listen, Connect and Military Families Near and Far.
Officials have partnered with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and 4-H to increase the programs and resources for school-age military children, Thompson added.
The DOD also has partnered with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, land-grant universities and the Cooperative Extension System to reach out to military children in communities, she said, noting 70 percent of military kids live off of installations.
While they're making progress, DOD officials can't tackle these issues alone, Thompson said. It will take the efforts of an entire nation -- from individuals and communities to government agencies and private companies -- to accomplish this goal, she added.
Every American can help to support military families, she said, and no effort is too small. A neighbor can help a parent with a deployed spouse by pitching in with a carpool, driving children to an extracurricular activity, or mowing a military families' lawn.
Schools can set aside special days to honor military kids' contributions, and communities can sponsor a play or picnic, or simply find the military families in their midst to thank them, Thompson said.
She suggested people visit the White House's Joining Forces website to find service opportunities that support military families in their neighborhoods.
Taking care of military parents has a positive and direct impact on their kids, Thompson noted.
"It's important to care for the stay-at-home parent with a deployed spouse," she said. "They're the first responders for these children. If the stay-at-home parent isn't being nurtured, it's very hard for him or her to nurture those children."
While military life can be challenging for children, it also offers tremendous opportunities for growth, Thompson said.
"We know that it's challenging to move every two to three years and uproot and make new friends and adjust to a new environment and a new community," she acknowledged. "But those are also opportunities for growth and resilience, to learn very quickly how to make friends and adapt and be flexible."
Thompson said she's spoken to military children now in college who reflect back to their experiences with a different perspective.
"While challenging in the moment, it really prepared them for being away from home, for forging new relationships and seeking new interests," she said.
Thompson encouraged people to take time this month to honor military children for their sacrifices, whether it's with an event or words of gratitude.
"One of the things that's disconcerting is we know that 1 percent of our population is in uniform and is serving, and the other 99 percent of the country takes full benefit of that," Thompson said. "As a community, we owe it to our children to honor them and to protect them."

The first "clean diesel" vehicles are making their nationwide debut in late September and early October. The diesel vehicles from Volkswagen and Mercedes will start showing up in dealerships in California and other states that had previously not allowed diesels because of strict emissions guidelines. Two new factors could boost sales of these vehicles: a recent drop in diesel fuel prices, and new federal tax incentives for clean diesel vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz recently won the first consumer tax credits for diesel vehicles when the Internal Revenue Service awarded purchasers of the Mercedes GL 320 Bluetec a $1,800 tax credit, and buyers of the Mercedes R320 Bluetec and ML 320 Bluetec Diesel SUVS tax credits of $1,550 and $900 respectively.
In addition, Volkswagen announced today that buyers of the Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen are eligible for a $1,300 Federal Income Tax Credit. The "Qualified Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit," passed by Congress in 2005, was previously granted only to hybrid gas-electric, compressed natural gas, and propane-fueled vehicles.
Meanwhile, the drop in fuel prices in recent months has reduced the average gap between regular gasoline and diesel to less than 20 cents. As recently as mid-August, that gap was approximately 50 cents—which was virtually erasing the traditional fuel cost savings offered by diesels. (The larger gap between gas and diesel remains in some parts of the country.) The Jetta diesels offer combined city and highway fuel efficiency in the mid-30 mpg range, with the powerful luxury Mercedes vehicles providing mileage in the mid- to low-20s.
J.D. Power and Associates, an auto market research firm, forecasts that diesels will account for as much as 14 percent of the US auto market in 2017—up from 3 percent today. That growth will depend on diesel vehicles passing California's emissions standards and thereby reaching markets in all 50 states.
The most important economic factor—especially during the current recession—could be purchase price: the MSRP for the Mercedes GL 320 is $57,625, while the R320 and ML320 are both in the high $40,000 range. The Volkswagen Jetta TDI and SportWagen TDI are priced more competitively at $21,990 and $23,590 respectively.

Again it is time to celebrate for Christmas. What you plan to send out to your children? Do you wish you could send more meaningful presents rather than perishable gift? Then unique and personalized Christmas gifts become your first choice. Nothing could be more cherish-worthy than a handmade gift for those young people in your lives.
Toys are fine and all, but they can cost a fortune. Here I would like to share some unique Christmas gift ideas to help you send out a handmade Christmas gift to your children.
1. Video cards
It will be a great gift for a new mom who is interested in using computer with her baby as a learning tool. You can list all the important words and images that you think a young infant need to know. Click to play the DIY video. Then teach your baby one by one. If you already have kids, this would be a fun project for you. You can click here to learn how to make a video card.
2. Knit a stuffed animal
Maybe some of you consider knitting as a tough thing. But in fact, if you could use thick needles and thick yarn, you should be able to jig up something that can be shaped into a hippopotamus-like form. Then knit it big and feel it afterwards. You can click here to learn how to make s stuffed animal in 10 steps.
3. Making matching outfits for your child and the stuffed animal
Children are always fancy about new things. If a stuffed animal is not enough, you can make a suite of matching outfits for him and his stuffed animal. A neighbor of mine once knit up a rabbit for his daughter, and made a little vest and scarf for the monkey and a matching one for the girl. Those days, she always loved wearing the new clothes and dragging her matching rabbit around with him. If you can sew or knit, you can do this.
4. Record your child's growth
Make a photo album with your children's pictures each year, and write out your best wishes to them. When they grow up, it will be a big fortune to them. Considering paper ones are not ideal for long-time preserve, you can make some video ones or DVD ones. For the details about how to do it, you can click here. Here is a ready-made video photo album from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNKVrcqO0r8
These are just part of my ideas, do you have any more? Send something unusual to your child, and have a merry Christmas.

Liberty News
Chancellor lauds parkway, Notre Dame win
Liberty News Alert from Liberty Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr.:
Throughout Liberty University's history, my father would often say publicly that his vision for Liberty was that it would become a world class university for Evangelical Christian young people offering academic excellence in every major field of study, NCAA Division I athletics, and every other service and benefit available at major national universities.
He would use the examples of how Notre Dame and Brigham Young had already become the flagship universities for Catholic and Mormon young people. Dad went further and often spoke fondly of the day that Liberty University would defeat Notre Dame in football and other sports. He truly hoped that he would live long enough to see that day.
Over the last 37 years, Liberty University miraculously achieved most of the lofty goals as envisioned by its founder by becoming the largest evangelical university in the world. But, this week, Liberty University advanced one big step closer to accomplishing one of the more personal athletic goals of my father when it defeated Notre Dame University in baseball. This was Liberty's first triumph over Notre Dame in a major NCAA team sport and is a milestone for Liberty.
The honor bestowed on my father by Governor Tim Kaine and the Virginia legislature this week in naming Lynchburg's primary highway route for him is greatly appreciated by the entire family but is even more special to us due to the timing of the event. To have the highway naming occur in the same week that Liberty achieved my father's number one personal goal for Liberty athletics is a source of great pride for the entire university.
Both events, as reported, follow.
Jerry Falwell, Jr., Chancellor and President
Legislature Honors Jerry Falwell Sr.
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine signed legislation late Tuesday naming a section of U.S. 460 in Lynchburg the Jerry Falwell Parkway after Liberty University's co-founder Jerry Falwell Sr., who died last May at age 73.
The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Steve Newman, R-Lynchburg, pertains to the section of highway between the Monacan Bridge in Lynchburg and Wards Road in Campbell County.
"It is an honor for the family," Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell said. "It means a lot that even legislators who weren't in political agreement with my father voted for this. It is very fitting because dad grew up just off the roadway, his brother still lives there and the university is here."
Gov. Kaine's press secretary, Gordon Hickey, said Wednesday Kaine recognizes the impact Jerry Falwell Sr. had on the Commonwealth.
"The governor understands that the Rev. Falwell touched tens of thousands of Virginians and so many in the city that it seemed like the right thing to do," he said.
Flames Down Irish in Season Opener
The Liberty Flames plated four runs in the fourth inning and never looked back in a 6-2, season-opening victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Feb. 22 in the first game of the Clearwater Invitational at Jack Russell Stadium.
Winning in head coach Jim Toman's coaching debut, the Flames moved to 2-0, after the Liberty Flames moved past the Albany Great Danes, 5-4, Feb. 23 at Jack Russell Stadium.

The right staff can be critically important to any entity charged with something as important as caring for the elderly, and Kendal credits Toni Merleno with helping the organization get the right people in order to deliver a high level of care and services. Ms. Merleno is the "consummate human resources professional," according to the nomination, having made a significant difference in the past decade in the growth and success of Kendal Northern Ohio, which includes Kendal at Oberlin, Kendal at Home and most recently Senior Independence. "She has helped our organization attract the very best and most compassionate staff to provide care and services to seniors residing in seven counties throughout Northern Ohio," the Archer Awards nomination said. "She has been an excellent model, resource and friend for more than 240 staff who value Kendal as an employer of choice." Ms. Merleno's efforts are brought to life by consistent low turnover and individual staff development. Those efforts also include performance management with rewards for goals met each year, high employee satisfaction as gauged regularly by outside surveys, competitive wages and benefits, and a focus on employee and family wellness. Her employer not only credits her with recruiting the right talent, though. Kendal also credits Ms. Merleno with making the company a better and more rewarding place to work, improving the productivity of all of its employees and improving employee health — all for the betterment of the seniors served by Kendal.

"As you pass over the threshold you enter a calm and serene space where a wealth of luxury awaits, both inside and outside just relaxing on the balustraded terrace with stunning views over the harbour and St Ives Bay."
Lonely Planet has dubbed it, "A little piece of the South of France in St Ives"; while the globally renowned Hotel Guru lists it as one of their regional top ten. With a host of recommendations from a wealth of various publications and industry experts, the Blue Hayes Private Hotel has received some seriously critical acclaim.
Endorsed by the likes of The Telegraph, The Independent, The New York Times and Times Online, the Blue Hayes is fast gaining wide repute with praise and plaudits from peers and critics alike. Its awards stand testament to its unyielding excellence as it continues to provide exclusive accommodation of the highest calibre – evident in a range of reviews, examples below.
The Telegraph
Blue Hayes, in St Ives, Cornwall, is a boutique hotel with spacious rooms and lovely harbour views.
An imposing granite gentleman's residence entirely refigured with contemporary, light-filled spaces 10 years ago. The main lounge and dining room lead out to a balustraded terrace shaded by an ancient Monterey pine and Cornish palms. There's a smaller sitting room for reading or watching sport on television. The pale cream carpet is spotless and housekeeping everywhere is top-notch.

Cornwall has always been smart – now it's positively chic. The proof is in its new hotels and restaurants, says Fiona Duncan.
Cornwall: England's Champagne Coast – 27/06/2004
It feels like Capri at the Blue Hayes Hotel, a new five-room "private hotel" overlooking St Ives Bay and harbour. It has glitzy suites, a white-balustraded terrace, palm-fringed gardens and stunning sea views. This is a much-needed addition in St Ives, another Cornish resort where sleek bars and restaurants have been springing up around the harbour to meet the demand from more upmarket visitors drawn to the town by attractions such as Tate St Ives.

Telegraph writers pick their favourite discoveries made during 12 months of travel across the globe. Fifteen hotels selected, only two of which are in the UK – one of these is Blue Hayes:
The Best of 2003 – Worldwide directory of our favourite hotels – 29/12/2003
Blue Hayes, St Ives, Cornwall. This freshly rebuilt and refurbished hotel above the coastal path at the approach to the town is in a class of its own. For years Cornwall's most romantic and cultured seaside hideaway has been in need of somewhere comfortable to stay, and now it has it. The hotel has five stylish suites and does not accept children under 10 years.
The Sunday Telegraph
Down Memory Lane – 08/06/2003
Down memory lanes – Paul Wade returns to his childhood haunts and finds narrow alleys of St Ives much changed. Blue Hayes is open again after a facelift. Expect urban sophistication with the finest views in town.
The Daily Mail
Gold Award to Blue Hayes – 23/07/2003
You'll be converted by beautiful St Ives – The Cornish fishing village became popular with painters – but there's far more to it than red ochre says Peter Hardy. Blue Hayes stands out in vivid relief from the otherwise bland canvas of hotel accommodation. The house, on the coastal path at the approach to the town, was recently reopened, after a two year makeover, with five stylish suites.

Pioneering Spirit – 19/07/2003
Pioneering Spirit thrives in St Ives – Joanna Hunter examines the artistic legacy of this tiny seafront town; she stayed at Blue Hayes Hotel where a double room costs from £90.
The Mirror
From the Scilly Isles to the Scottish Highlands … we pick our Top Ten stylish seaside hotels.
St Ives is one of the funkiest seaside resorts in Cornwall thanks to the opening a few years ago of the Tate art gallery. So it's hardly surprising that the town should now have a stylish boutique hotel overlooking the bay and harbour. Blue Hayes is five minutes walk and gazes down upon Porthminster Beach. Cool, minimalist rooms have been created within a whitewashed 1920s building. It's a real suntrap and on a summer's morning feels like the French Riviera, with even palm trees in the garden. There are plenty of restaurants nearby but the hotel does offer light suppers that can be served on the terrace if you fancy dining al fresco. (27 May 2007).
The Independent on Sunday
Sleepover: A night in St Ives: Blue Hayes – 31/08/2003
Luxurious in every respect. It represents a welcome addition to the hotel scene in St Ives and suggests that accommodation is finally catching up with the fancy restaurants around the harbour. The recent facelift appears to have exterminated every bit of chintz; instead expect smooth, sleek, Scandinavian cream lines, soft cotton and fresh lilies.

@Wild Armor : The Mortal Kombat cartoon xD Such a masterpiece.
So the 80s had many great shows, but the 90s really cashed into that video game scene. You get masterpieces such as Mega Man, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Sanic the Hedgehog, The Super Mario Supah Show, Mortal Kombat, and other goodies.There are also great shows like Captain Planet, Angry Beavers, Arthur, The Magic School Bus, Darkwing Duck, and Rupert that were great. Of course, the only show that really mattered and deserves more episodes is Freakazoid!. ;)@Mike Dude, Pirates of Dark Water was one of my favorite shows ever. I still have my Ren toy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ2TwRP_irYDA EIGHTIESthe early aughts were a recent low point for cartoons, although the early aughts were kind of a low point for a lot of things.
I gotta give it to this decade
[ReBoot would've been on it had I ever gotten over the crappy animation.

Juan Carlos was sponsored through CFCA's Santa Ana, El Salvador, office for 10 years, from 8 to 18. He is now 28 and lives outside Santa Ana with his wife and their 2-year-old son. Juan Carlos works in the maintenance department of a local hospital. Nimia works at a textile factory.
What did you like most when you were sponsored?
The birthday celebrations. My parents could not afford to celebrate, so these parties were nice. We used to get food, ice cream and gifts.
That was the best part because we used to get toys, and as with any child, toys were my favorite.
From left are Juan Carlos, Diego Alexander and Nimia.
We were very poor, but I remember how happy my parents were when we received food provisions, especially milk, because that was good for us.
CFCA was a blessing for the entire family, not only for me as a sponsored child.
What did CFCA do for you personally?
CFCA sponsorship gave me happiness. The possibility to have so many happy moments in my life helped me very much.
I did receive lots of help to be the person I am now. We had a wholesome support in the material, spiritual, educational and healthy aspects of my life.
This is helping me with my own family now because I can provide for them what I lacked before.
Do you think about your sponsors even now?
I often do. They were a nice couple and had three children: two boys and a little girl.
Unfortunately I never met them personally but they always sent me letters and pictures and always encouraged me, asked me questions and always replied to my questions.
The pictures they sent were nice because I could see their children grow and the beautiful landscapes they included. I particularly remember one that they sent with some beautiful mountains with snow on the top. We don't see that here.
If you could meet your sponsors personally, what would you tell them now?
First of all, that I am so happy to see them in person. I would deeply thank them for everything they did for me.
They supported me for over 10 years and their contribution not only helped me, but it helped my entire family. I would express how grateful my family and I are for what they did for us.
Tell us about your life today.
I am 28 and married. My wife and I are raising our son, Diego Alexander.
I work in the maintenance department of a local hospital, and my wife works for a textile company. I tell my wife about my life in CFCA and how much it means to me.
We both want the best for our child and are putting into practice the values I grew up with while being sponsored.
Is there any special story that you might want to share with us?
Two. The first is that I liked the birthday celebrations so much that I always pushed my mother to arrive as early as possible to the party place. We were always the first ones there.
The other story is how much I liked receiving special gifts from my sponsors. Every time they sent me something, I was happy because I would always ask CFCA to buy me new clothes and shoes. That was a real treat for me.
Editor's note: Juan Carlos' sponsors did not send him special gifts through the mail. Juan's former sponsor, Sharon Germain, from Boise, Idaho, said she and her husband ìgave extra money for the Christmas and birthday funds.î
Sponsored children are told the gifts they receive during these celebrations are from their sponsors.
You can donate to the Christmas and birthday funds on our website.
This is the final article in our series about the 25th anniversary of CFCA's service in El Salvador. Other articles:

This has been really bothering the crap out of me for the last few days.
I have dialogue box 1, the person can say continue (goto dialogue box 2) or exit.
If they continue, then dialogue box 2 let's them exit, or go back to box 1(goto dialgue box 1)
so it looks something like:
then for dialogue box 2:Code:Dialogue Box 1::OnOkay() Dialogue box 2 mybox2; mybox2.DoModal();
simple enough - if it clicks okay, it opens a modal dialogue box for 2. if i go back, it opens a modal box for 1. I can use this method and continue forever (i.e., box 1- box 2- box 1- box2). However, if for dialogue box 1 class I declare some arrays, for example, myarray[10001], myarray2[10001], I can only use this method to go back 2 or 3 times before my program crashes on me.Code:DIalogue box 2::Onback() { Dialogue box 1 mybox1; mybox1.DoModal(); }
If I remove these variables, crash goes away (and I'm not using these variables, just declaring them in the public class of dialogue box 1).
So it would seem that my method doesn't work very well........so my question is, if I go from dialogue box 1, to diaglogue box 2, and in box 2 I want to be able to move back to dialogue box 1, how can I without it crashing (assuming I leave the class variables in box 1)??
edit: by playing with message handling functions destroy (called when dialogue box destroyed) and init (when dialogue boix is made) i see that my boxes are never being destroyed - i'll create box 1, then i'll create box 2, then i'll create box 1 (without destroying box 2). So I guess that's how I'm running out of memmory.
Any suggestions on how to do something like:
create box 1
user selects to goto box 2
destroy box 1
create box 2
user selects to do back
destroy box 2
create box 1
edit2: Nope, that won't work - I tried calling dialoguebox1/2.DestroyWindow() so it destroys the window when it leaves it for the next dialogue box, but my program STILL crashes on me after a few iterations of moving backwards and forwards
edit3: Well, it appears a temporary solution is to NOT declare any arrays in the class header if the dialogue box may be created. If I remove all the arrays and just scope them to a function block, as opposed to the entire class, it still doesn't work, so what I have to do is create them on the heap (i.e., float *myarray = new float[10001], then after I destroy the window, call delete [] myarray)
Humph, i wish there was an easier way around this

March 23, 2019, 12:22 amGoran DragicG, Miami Heat
Goran Dragic finished Friday's ugly loss with five rebounds, four assists, a steal and zero points on 0-for-9 shooting.
Well that's one way to end a hot streak. The Dragon had scored 19, 26 and 22 points in the three games prior to this and probably burned a bunch of owners who bit on that hot run. He's still been better than expected since returning from injury, but it's hard to expect more than late-round value here. Derrick Jones Jr. started again and had 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and a triple. He's got nice upside for his production of cash counters, so give him a look if you that fits a need while Justise Winslow is out.
Fantasy News
December 7, 2019, 1:21 amDamian LillardPG, Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard put forth a valiant effort with 29 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and two threes in Friday's 113-136 loss to the Lakers.
Even as the Blazers continue to scuffle, Lillard is locked in as an elite fantasy talent. It's looking increasingly unlikely that the Blazers make the postseason this year but, A: Never count out Lillard and B: He doesn't seem like the kind to accept a shutdown. We're a long way off from that point, thankfully, and you can continue to enjoy first-round value in the meantime.
December 7, 2019, 1:18 amHassan WhitesideC, Portland Trail Blazers
Hassan Whiteside had another productive game with 17 points (8-for-12 shooting), 13 rebounds, three steals and a block in 32 minutes on Friday night.
Whiteside is rolling along in fantasy land even as his on-court lapses continue to harm the Blazers. We wouldn't expect him to finish at his current top-35 standing so there's a bit of a sell-high window, though the numbers he's bringing back in blocks and rebounds might change the calculus since you probably won't be able to replace them in a trade.
December 7, 2019, 1:16 amKent BazemoreSG, Portland Trail Blazers
Kent Bazemore logged 25 minutes in Friday's loss to the Lakers, notching 10 points, two rebounds and a 3-pointer.
Bazemore is staring at a much heavier workload with Rodney Hood now out for the season and Portland completely devoid of other viable wing options. He's been a top-100 guy in starter's minutes in the past, so he's a pickup in all competitive leagues.
December 7, 2019, 1:14 amAnthony DavisPF-C, Los Angeles Lakers
Anthony Davis and LeBron James both torched the Blazers in Friday's road win.
Davis put up 39 points (12-for-21 FG, 13-of-15 FT), nine rebounds, two steals, three blocks and a pair of 3-pointers while James had 31 points (11-of-23 FG, 5-for-7 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, a block and four threes. They're alright at this.
December 7, 2019, 1:10 amAlex CarusoSG, Los Angeles Lakers
Alex Caruso played 24 minutes on Friday night, posting eight points, three assists, a steal and a three.
Caruso got some extra run with Rajon Rondo departing early because of hamstring tightness, and given the likelihood that he misses some time you can consider Caruso a potential pickup in deep leagues.
December 7, 2019, 1:09 amJaVale McGeeC, Los Angeles Lakers
JaVale McGee finished Friday's win with 13 points (6-of-7 shooting) and two blocks in 15 minutes.
McGee isn't nearly as fun to rock with as he was last season but he's still blocking shots and boosting your field goal percentage enough to return late-round value in 12-teamers. Dwight Howard is doing the same thing with more boards and slightly fewer blocks, as he had five points, 10 rebounds and two steals tonight. Neither is a must-own in 12-team leagues.
December 7, 2019, 1:07 amDanny GreenSG, Los Angeles Lakers
Danny Green had a lackluster showing, to be polite about it, on Friday with a 3-pointer, five rebounds, a steal and a block in 21 minutes.
Green is just a late-round guy and doesn't have a ton of upside given that he's only getting 25.5 mpg on the year. He's worth holding onto in general, but a drop won't hurt you that much. The same goes for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who had five points, five assists, a steal and a 3-pointer in 27 minutes.
December 7, 2019, 12:54 amKevin LovePF, Cleveland Cavaliers
Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Cavs are prepared to listen to trade talks involving Kevin Love.
The Cavs simply have no use for Love, who can be a series-shifting player as a second or third option on a good team. Cleveland is predictably seeking young players and future draft picks, but it remains to be seen if they'll get much considering Love is still owed $90 million over the next three seasons. That's not inconsequential, and most teams in position to get pushed over the top by adding Love to the mix also don't have the ability to add such a big financial commitment to their books easily. While Love would be bumped down the pecking order on a better team, he might also end up playing more games. We won't go too much deeper than that until Love starts getting connected to specific suitors.

December 7, 2019, 12:50 amDeMar DeRozanSG, San Antonio Spurs
DeMar DeRozan's 3-point binge continued in Friday's 105-104 OT win over the Kings, as he hit three more triples on his way to 15 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
DeRozan has now hit five threes in his last four games after hitting zero in over a full year. That obviously won't keep up but DeRozan is back in the top-50 area after scuffling early in the year. He's about as reliable as they come.
December 7, 2019, 12:47 amJakob PoeltlC, San Antonio Spurs
Jakob Poeltl returned to the bench on Friday with LaMarcus Aldridge back but still delivered three blocks in 18 minutes.
Poeltl also tallied 13 points on a perfect 5-of-5 from the field and a less-perfect 3-of-5 from the line. He's now climbed up to top-170 value on the year and should be on any rosters where fantasy GMs are short on blocks. In the past two weeks he's been a top-60 player.

1912 Eighth-Grade Exam Stumps 21st-Century Test-Takers
by Cavan Sieczkowski
Are you smarter than an eighth grader? How about an eighth grader who graduated in 1912? A copy of an eighth-grade exam from that year shows test-taking wasn't so easy for those early-20th-century students.
Bullitt County History Museum, located in Shepherdsville, Ky., received a copy of a 1912 eighth-grade exam drafted for Bullitt County Schools as a donation. The version was a likely master copy given to schools and then amended by teachers, the museum notes.
One hundred years ago, schools in the rural county were scattered far and wide, according to the museum's website. Students got together once or twice a year to take the "Common Exam." This test was a big deal, and students were told to prepare properly. Scholarships were provided to some who passed the exam and went on to high school. (It was rare for farm children to be able to continue their education otherwise.)
David Strange, an executive director at the museum, told The Huffington Post the exam was actually given to the museum last year. (We actually wrote about the test in January in celebration of public education's 100-year anniversary.) However, the 101-year-old test started gaining popularity again when it was picked up by ABC News this weekend and went viral.
"It is funny for us," Strange told HuffPost. "We are just a rural county. Our website is used to getting a couple hundred hits but we [recently] got 200,000 [hits]. We've had it on the web for about a year or so."
A renewed interest in the quiz might be the difficult challenge of acing it. Some are likely to get stumped on questions that ask students to define the parts of speech; name and give boundaries of the five zones; compare arteries and veins as to function; and name the inventor of the sewing machine.
"It's quite a challenging test," Strange said. "I do try to remind everyone it's a 1912 test and you need to place yourself in that mindset sometimes. I remember having a similar question [as is on the test] when I was in school. I wouldn't want to take it again."
He knows multiple people who have tried to take the exam for fun but doesn't know their final scores.
"Most everybody says they wouldn't have passed it," he said.
