★★★★★ - "They were clean and got the work done in one day. I couldn't believe the price I was quoted as compared to 8 other estimates that I got and the same quality. It pays to shop around. I would recommend them."

★★★★★ - "After having our crawl space under the bedroom wing dug out to an extended basement, we realized we would need a second furnace and ac system. Original furnace could not handle the extra space, and a new I-beam was blocking the pathway for the old ducts. We got several estimates, but the second lowest was from Dave at East Coast Renovations. I took a chance on his company, and so glad I did. Dave and his assistants were pleasant, eager to please, and thoroughly knowledgeable about what they were doing. We had an ongoing project installing a ledger board in the basement (which delayed installation of the return ductwork), and he was totally flexible in adjusting his schedule to accommodate that work. My home is in Cheltenham, which is a long drive from their home base in Ridley park, but they were thoroughly reliable, punctual, and scheduled the work quickly, so the project never dragged on. East Coast Renovations' performance was superb: Lots of attention to detail, very professional in listening to all of my concerns, left the premises thoroughly clean, and high quality workmanship in everything they did. I would give Dave and his crew my highest possible recommendation. The heater works flawlessly!"

The Bergen County Jail serves the community as a central reception and processing center for pre-trial male and female adult detainees whose incarceration is necessary to ensure a court appearance. The facility also provides for the detention of both sentenced and unsentenced prisoners in a minimum, medium and maximum security environment.
With more than 280 Correction Officers and 1,150 beds, this around-the-clock operation is one of the state's finest Correctional Facilities.
The major operational management philosophy utilized within the Bergen County Jail is Direct Supervision Management. Direct Supervision, utilizing the principals of direct officer to inmate interface and barrier free design, has proven to be an effective method of control, improving supervision, reducing violence, ensuring a safer more humane environment for both inmates and staff while keeping the cost to the taxpayers down.
Technology is state-of-the-art in the facility, featuring computer control of all inmate housing areas, an integrated perimeter security system, a site-wide duress/panic alarm system and a computerized Center Control.
The facility is designed and is operated in accordance with constitutional standards, to meet accreditation set by the American Correctional Association and the New Jersey State Department of Corrections. In addition, the Jail meets standards for health care established by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.

Revision as of 23:14, 7 June 2010
A number of mobile telephone networks around the world offer mobile internet connections over UMTS (or EDGE or GSM) using a portable USB modem device.
Device identification
Install usbutils
pacman -S usbutils
and then examine the output of
$ lsusb
which will show the vendor and product IDs of the device. Note that some devices will show two different product IDs at different times as explained below.
Mode switching
Often these devices will have two modes (1) USB flash memory storage (2) USB Modem. The first mode, sometimes known as ZeroCD, is often used to deliver an internet communications program for another operating system and is generally of no interest to Linux users. Additionally some have a slot into which the user can insert an additional flash memory card.
A useful utility for switching these devices into modem mode is usb_modeswitch, available in the AUR. Some devices are now supported in the USB serial kernel module called "option" (after the Option devices, but not limited to just those) and may be used without usb_modeswitch.
A configuration file /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf is supplied with the package. This contains entries for many devices, which are disabled by default. You need to find your device and uncomment the entry.
When a device is switched, its product ID may change to a different value. The vendor ID will remain unchanged. This can be seen in the output of lsusb.
The general procedure is to switch the device into modem mode, make sure the ttyUSB device(s) are recognized by the usbserial kernel module, and then to run wvdial to dial, connect and start pppd.
Install wvdial
pacman -S wvdial
The configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf will in general depend on (a) which device you have (b) which mobile network you are connecting to. A single wvdial.conf file can be defined with named sections to be usable with several USB modems and networks, should you need them.
Run (as root)
# wvdialconf
which will attempt to write /etc/wvdial.conf correctly. You will need to add the user, password and Access Point Name (APN). You can obtain these (i) from your network provider, (ii) from other users via published wvdial.confs, or (iii) by logging the USB tty traffic under another operating system (Sysinternals' Portmon).
A typical /etc/wvdial.conf looks like this:
[Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem ISDN = 0 Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2 Baud = 9600 [Dialer thenet] Phone = *99***1# Username = thenetuser Password = thenetpw Stupid Mode = 1 Baud = 460800 Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn.thenet.net" [Dialer mypin] Init4 = AT+CPIN=1234
Often there will be several devices (at /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2 for example). If in doubt about which to use, try each of them in turn. Once the configuration files are prepared, the internet connection is established with a simple script like this:
usbmodeswitch sleep 2 modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVVVV product=0xMMMM maxSize=4096 sleep 2 wvdial thenet
where VVVV is the hexadecimal vendor ID from lsusb, and MMMM is the hexadecimal product ID when in modem mode, and "thenet" is the name of the section in wvdial.conf which you wish to use. The maxSize option may or may not be necessary. It simplifies matters if you disable the SIM PIN, but if you require it, run "wvdial mypin" before "wvdial thenet".
The final wvdial command should start pppd and the obained IP address should be visible in the terminal output. At that point the internet connection should be live, which can be easily checked with a web browser or by pinging an external IP address.

Germany forces Apple to let other mobile wallet services use iPhone's NFC chip
A new German law passed yesterday requires Apple to allow other mobile payments services access to the iPhone's NFC chip for payments to allow them to fully compete with Apple Pay.
Apple initially completely locked down the NFC chip so that it could be used only by Apple Pay. It later allowed some third-party apps to use the chip but has always refused to do so for other mobile payment apps… more…

How short range wireless could change the way you accept credit cards
NFC stands for "Near Field Communication". NFC is a short-ranged wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances. And by short distance, I mean a little less than 2 inches.
The data transfer between the devices occurs through one of two means: either a short wave or, as is more common, a touch or tap. It is used for syncing, transferring data and doing transactions.
This technology will allow people share items like music files, video clips, apps, contacts, and more. As two phones can be held close to one another and with software, you'll be able give transfer these items quickly and securely.
NFC is all about scanning objects with a reader. It is very similar to scanning barcodes, but much more flexible and secure. The information transfer could be used in a POS system (for instance, at a store's checkout counter) or even something as simple as scanning the embedded NFC chip in a tag, sticker, poster, decal or card.
What this means is NFC could make transactions faster and more eco-friendly. In the future you may not have to carry cash, swipe a credit card, or print important pieces of paper. You could simply carry your smart phone, wave it near an item, and type in your pin number to approve the transaction. Your phone could become a concert ticket, airline ticket, police ticket, doctor's prescription, etc.
Finally, there is no need to worry about security, as this technology requires you to have to engage the transaction by using your pin number to open the app before anything can be done.

2015 Statistics
Year-End Statistics for San Mateo County
Shortage of Inventory, Low Interest Rates, and Continued Positive Economic Conditions Fueled the Real Estate Market
From the Chart below, you can see that we peaked in the Days on the Market early and late in the year, which is to be expected.

The Sale Price to List Price ratio, in blue, peaked in May but was healthy and above 107.55% on average all year!

Housing Market Update for Closed 12 months through Jan 2014
San Mateo County Statistics
Here are the Statistics for the February 2013 period through January 2014.
The average price for a home sold in San Mateo County was $1,236,522 up from $944K
Our peak average sale price was in May where we had the least amount of inventory.
Our days on the market in December 2013 were at 52, our highest for the year and that is where we had the lowest sale price to list price ratio pretty much for the year.
It follows that January of this year, we saw a reduction in the number of days on the market resulting in a higher yield of the sales price.... it all makes sense for a change.
So, we are in a Seller's market but overpriced homes do sit on the market as the Buyers are well informed. Rates have been creeping up so it makes more sense to get that low rate rather than wait for the price to go lower as your rate is extremely sensitive.
Try looking at $1,000,000 home price with 80% mortgage at 4% interest only - total interest is $32,000 per year
If the rate goes up only 1/2 of 1% so from 4% to 4.5%, the interest cost goes to $36,000 per year which is equivalent to buying a home that is 13% higher in price at 4%... $1,130,000 with 80% mortgage at 4% interest rate, interest cost for the year would be $36,110.
The good word is pay attention to interest rate changes over home price changes. You will live with that rate for a while.
Happy Holidays to ALL!
Wishing You a Terrific, Safe, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
Housing Market Update December 2013
San Mateo Country Statistics

Our days on the market in December 2012 were at 60 and in November 2013 they were down at 50. The lowest point in the days on the market was in June at 27.
So, the market has been fluctuating as you may have heard. It is still a good market. Sellers and Buyers seem to be happy.
Housing Market Update
San Mateo County Statistics
Here are the Statistics for San Mateo County. The Market is holding above the $1.2M mark!!!
Our Average sales price in San Mateo County has been holding steady above the $1.2M mark since April.... that is an amazing feat especially with interest rates rising. Our Days on the market has gone up a bit and is slightly over 30 days but is very respectable. Those who price well and stage their homes continue to see sales in the one week to 10-day period. Do remember however, that Buyers are very well informed and you still need to price your home very well and have it looking its best to take advantage of the up-bid process!
Time frame is from Jul 2012 to Aug 2013
Property Sub Class is 'Single Family Residential'
County CountyCodeName is 'SMC San Mateo'
Results calculated from approximately 6,400 listings

Housing Market Update
San Mateo County Statistics
As you have heard in the media, our market is hot.... Here are some interesting statistics for San Mateo County.
Our Average sales price in San Mateo County has now surpassed $1,200M!!! Our Days on the market in the last twelve months have peaked in November of 2012 and are now just a bit over 20 days... now that takes into account bank owned and short sales which will tend to take that average higher. So the bottom line is we are back in a hot and heavy Seller's market! Buyers are very well informed and you still need to price your home well to take advantage of the upbid process!
Also below are more statistics for San Mateo County:
The average $/square foot in San Mateo County has gone from approximately $500/sq. ft in 2012 to over $600/sq. ft. in the most recent months. This is a VERY significant change. You can cal so see how the Sale Price to List Price ratio has skyrocketed over the noted period. All good news for Sellers... not so great for Buyers.... however, as I have been known to say, Buyers don't typically buy in a Buyer's market.... they feel comforted to know they are not the only ones taking the plunge.

Types Of Flowers
Many thousands of years flowers personify beauty, pleasure and perfection of nature.
Flowers give many things to everybody, and it does not matter if you are rich or poor, they give you a wonderful world, in which you feel happy. Therefore people always try to decorate with these surprising gifts of nature not only the celebration and gala days of their life, but also everyday life, in which, people need to feel even more pleasure during their life on Earth.
It seems that mother-nature presented us these wonderful creatures which during thousands of years bring in our life beauty, pleasure, and give us good mood and emotional health in any time of the year.
According to the scientists opinion there are more than 270 000 types of flowers. And each flower in his own way is beautiful and unusual and brings a part of pleasure in our life in order to do it happier.
At all nations of the world flowers associate with heat, sun, spring and pleasure. And it doesn't matter if it is winter, summer, autumn or spring outside. Flowers always remain symbols of good mood and wonderful seasons – spring and summer.
Each flower is shrouded by illusive mysterious aura, and magic mood which is given to all people without exception, whether it is a man or a woman, a small child or a grown up person.

William Noid Receives Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award
Main Content
18 July 2012
William Noid, an assistant professor of chemistry at Penn State University, has been honored with a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation Teacher-Scholar Award. The award supports the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences and includes a monetary prize.
Noid's research group develops and applies statistical mechanical methods to investigate various phenomena in biochemistry, molecular biology, and materials science. His group is developing novel computational and theoretical methodologies for investigating protein-protein interactions and, in particular, the unique physical properties and biological functions of disordered proteins. Recent experimental evidence indicates that these proteins play central roles in vital cellular processes and also may be involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease and other debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. However, these processes evolve on timescales beyond the scope of conventional computational models.
Most recently, Noid's lab has proposed a theory for determining accurate coarse-grained models directly from experimental data. Coarse-grained models are mechanical models of molecular systems in which the fundamental interacting particles represent groups of atoms. These models can investigate slow processes, such as protein-protein interactions, occurring on timescales that are inaccessible to more conventional models. Ultimately, these coarse-grained models will provide insight into the role of disordered proteins in both cellular processes and pathology.
Several prior awards have recognized Noid's research and scholarship, including a 2011 Sloan Research Fellowship in recognition of his cutting-edge, independent research accomplishments, a 2011 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation, and a 2010 American Chemical Society Hewlett-Packard Outstanding Junior Faculty Award in Computational Chemistry, given by the American Chemical Society's Division of Computers in Chemistry. In addition, Noid was honored in 2006 with a National Institutes of Health Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award. In 2005, he received a Tunis Wentink Prize as an outstanding chemistry graduate of Cornell University.
Noid earned a doctoral degree in chemistry at Cornell University in 2005, and a bachelor's degree in chemistry with minors in mathematics and physics at the University of Tennessee in 2000.

Senior Health
Here you will find informative articles on the topic of senior nutrition. Topics covered range from senior nutrition and weight loss to the relationship between BMI and quality of life for the elderly.
There are plenty of choices when it comes to caregiving for our parents, siblings, or significant other.
With the abundance of aging Baby Boomers, more care facilities and assisted-living options are springing up to help assist with their needs. As loved ones get older and, especially as their health begins to deteriorate, it is not always easy to make a decision about what the best scenario for them would be. Up until recently, there were only two major options: bring the loved one into your home to care for or move them to a nursing home. The need has been realized today for more alternatives.
It is difficult and often painful for children to approach the subject of deteriorating health and loss of capacity with their parents. Yet, responsible children must also beware of the warning signs of change, such as leaving a stove burner on, disorientation, or forgetting to take medication. These signs point to facts that their parents may no longer be able to take care of themselves. The difficult decision arises of what to do next.
It is often just as hard for the children to admit that there is anything wrong with their parents as it is for the parents to admit the truth. Children and caregivers don't want to make their loved one angry or upset, and they don't want to take away their dignity.
Many organizations offer the elderly help to continue living at home. If parents can live independently, with a minimum of help, agencies can help meet these needs. Aides can be employed to help in homes of the elderly. They can offer such services as shopping, house cleaning, cooking, and other tasks that need to be done daily or weekly. Companies such as Silver Cuisine by bistroMD can offer meal delivery services. If, however, the time comes when the elder person can no longer live on their own with minimum help, other steps must be taken.
An assisted living facility can provide an "in between" step. In such a facility, staff members are available to help with tasks on an "as needed" basis. This is especially a good step for those with progressive diseases, such as Alzheimer's, to get the care they need as time goes along. An assisted living option can also prove a very good choice for those elders who want as much of their independence as they can get, but need help with daily tasks. In many of these situations, elders can live in their own apartment and have meals, cleaning, and transportation for shopping or for visits to the doctor provided. Some options to this alternative can include living accommodations from a small home to a large apartment building. Likewise, they vary with different offers; some offer nursing care and some do not. Also, with the diversity of care choices widening, you may find an assisted living facility that offers "field trips" and special events to keep your loved one motivated and their mind stimulated.
This is often a hard decision and both child and parent must weigh the pros and cons of this situation extensively, as it could break an already tenuous relationship. On the other hand, these situations have also been known to make for a much better relationship between parent and child. There are a lot of factors to consider before moving an aging parent into your home. One such question would be, Do you have enough room to adequately care for your parent? Does your home have stairs that might prove hazardous to a loved one? And, just as importantly, what is your health like? Caregivers often open themselves up to major health problems if they do not take care of themselves as well as their patient.

M2 Ladies Combo Set
Additional Information
Additional Information
The 2017 M2 ladies irons give golfers the complete performance package with low CG, Speed Pocket technology, Face Slots, and Geocoustic engineering—it's our most technologically advanced distance iron. Each technology in M2 irons works together to help golfers achieve more distance, peak trajectory, and forgiveness—overall, a more consistently performing iron swing after swing.
New to M2 irons, engineers incorporated Face Slots that help preserve ball speed on shots struck toward the heel or toe, giving golfers more distance and more control—making your mis-hits better and your best shots extraordinary.
Additionally, the M2 irons incorporate a new thin-wall Speed Pocket, designed to increase face flexibility and protect ball speed on strikes below face-center while also increasing launch angle and ball speed.
Further improvements include a new thinner, wider, six-sided Fluted Hosel that saves 5 grams (compared to 3 in the original M2 iron), allowing for the repositioning of 2 grams of discretionary weight lower in the clubhead. The new hosel bend slot also allows for a 30% improvement in bending.
Similar to the M2 metalwoods, the new M2 irons were designed employing TaylorMade's new Geocoustic™ engineering techniques; acoustics tuned through geometry to create ideal frequencies for pleasing sound & feel.

Democrats reframe abortion debate
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Democrats think they've figured out how to win the abortion debate: Don't make it about abortion.
Starting Tuesday, the Democratic convention here will feature speeches from Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Cecile Richards, NARAL President Nancy Keenan and Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke, who became a flashpoint in the debate over requiring Catholic institutions to pay for birth control.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Full coverage of the DNC)
But don't expect them to focus on abortion — or even necessarily use the word. Instead, they'll defend President Barack Obama's record on reproductive health and reproductive rights. And, as they have before, they'll accuse GOP nominee Mitt Romney and his party of waging a "war on women."
Obama's significant lead among women has given him a slight edge in most national and swing-state polls. Republicans attempted to beat back Democratic attacks last week in Tampa — both Ann and Mitt Romney made specific appeals to women — but Democrats believe they've got the clear advantage going into November.
To keep and strengthen its standing, the party has recast its rhetoric on abortion rights. Polls consistently show that a majority of Americans favor at least some abortion restrictions. So Democrats have made the contentious issue part of a larger conversation about women's health — and that, in turn, is part of a larger conversation that depicts Republicans as opposed to equal pay and access to education for women.
( PHOTOS: Scenes from the Democratic convention)
"It is in a context," Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.) said. "It is a context that voters deserve to know, and are having an adverse reaction to."
Republicans have given Democrats plenty to talk about, including the bills blocking federal funds for abortion that House Republicans passed immediately upon taking the majority and the ongoing effort to defund Planned Parenthood, which Romney supports. And that was before Rep. Todd Akin weighed in last month on "legitimate rape."
"In both the contraception debate and the Todd Akin debate, these issues of reproductive health have become entwined with issues around how you view women and women's rights and women's autonomy. And it was the Republican Party and their members who did that," said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress and Obama's 2008 campaign domestic policy director.
Democrats haven't always been this cohesive on the abortion debate. In 1992, then-Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey was blocked from speaking to the Democratic convention as part of a fight over his anti-abortion views. For the next decade, Democrats lost House and Senate races in which abortion and measures to limit abortion became central, including fetal-pain legislation and late-term abortion bans.
( Also on POLITICO: Fluke takes a swipe at Bill O'Reilly)
In the years since, the number of anti-abortion Democrats in Washington has dwindled, and the party has coalesced in favor of abortion rights. Not until the past few months, though, did Democrats begin to put so much attention on issues related to contraception, women's health care and abortion.
"I've never actually seen an election — and I've been through a few — where women's basic access to health care has been so early and so often a topic of conversation," Richards said.

Cardigan - Vintage | Top & Skirt - H&M | Tights & Socks - Primark | Belt - Stolen from another dress | Boots - Zara
I know I said I didn't like this skirt a couple of posts ago, however I think it works much better with boots as opposed to shoes - what do you think? Or maybe it's the darker tights, who knows, but it's back in my good books.
Yesterday was the first day of Chinese New Year (Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!), though it was a really wet and cold day, there was still lots to do.
My Ma and me started the day by popping by The Vintage Flea Market, I think we arrived too late as the stalls were pretty bare. The thing about 'Vintage' fairs, they're all so expensive and packed nowadays as they're so popular, gone are the days when they were simply known as jumble sales and you could find that hidden gem. Even charity shops (well at least in London) have cottoned on and there are no more 50p bargains! sheesh - does anyone know any places to find good bargains in London?
In the afternoon we headed to our favourite Dim Sum restaurant - Royal China, where we met up with by Bro and Pa and stuffed ourselves silly with dumplings. Everything was scrummy but if you do go, you must try the BBQ pork puffs - sticky, sweet with crumbly pastry - to die for! Did anyone else do anything for Chinese New Year?

Lions Industries for the Blind, which employs blind and visually impaired workers, invests in water park
A few successful contracts led a Kinston nonprofit to a major investment � in the form of a water park.
Lions Industries for the Blind, Inc., a company employing blind and visually impaired workers, is a major part of the reason why the aptly-named Lions Water Adventure Park will hold its ribbon-cutting ceremony today.
The attraction will open full-time Saturday after today�s dedication ceremony.
LIB Executive Director Ray Amyette said some criteria for the company�s investing into Lion�s Water Adventure was to retain naming rights, which they did. Otherwise, LIB was in the right position to be a part of the project.
�(We) decided that it would fit within our realm of what our mission was,� he said.
Because of the LIB input, there are contrasting colors on the stairs of the park�s waterslide and will soon have lion paw prints in bright yellow leading to different areas to help, �someone who�s visually impaired be able to see.�
LIB is one of six agencies across the state that provides employment opportunities to the visually impaired.
It began in 1971 as a place to train and assist visually impaired with finding jobs, but that�s changed over the years.
�A majority of the people that come in here, most of them, look forward to spending a good while in here,� Amyette said of the new set-up. �They�re not really looking to have training and then get prepped to go out the real world. They like staying here because we�re they�re peers, for one thing.�
LIB has more than 50 employees whose primary disability is a visual impairment and nine management individuals. Before 1980, the company only employed people who were totally blind.
Some employees at the LIB are blind and deaf, and the totally blind employees man the sewing machines.
LIB manufactures a number of items, from service tapes that go across pockets of Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard to embroidered hats and shirts for companies in Lenoir and WayneCounties.
Workers operate sewing, embroidery and screen printing machines and tools to supply the various products.
Employee of the Year Oscar Lopez spends his work days in the cut-and-sew department of the 40,500 square-feet facility on Berkeley Avenue.
Amyette said Lopez lost his vision to a gunshot wound trying to protect his family during a home invasion.
Lopez will be one of the first people to go down the Lion Water Park super slide today. As the selected employee of the year, he will compete against a few others to see who can slide the fastest.
He often serves as an inspiration for LIB workers who are losing their vision.
�He has the best attitude of anyone you�ll ever meet,� Amyette said. �He gives a lot of encouragement here to people.�
It will be Lopez� first time down a water slide, he said.
Many other people in Kinston will have their inaugural ride when the park opens Memorial Day weekend. The park features a lazy river, kiddie pools among other water fun.
Lions Water Adventure will be open through Labor Day weekend.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Augusta State (3-1) earned its third win of the season on Saturday afternoon with a 7-2 win over the West Georgia Wolves (3-2) at Lake Olmstead Stadium.
Junior left-hander Kip Custer (2-0) went 7.0 innings in the win, giving up one earned run on six hits. UWG starter Chase Riemer (1-1) took the loss with 5.0 innings pitched to allow four runs on five hits.
The Wolves went up 1-0 off an RBI double from freshman John Rhodes in the top of the second, but Custer got out of the inning on a line-drive double play that left two on base.
ASU senior Seth Foster singled to start the second inning and junior Jeff Rice took a hit-by-pitch. Freshman Justin Mee reached on a fielder's choice, putting Foster out at third and bringing up juniors Kevin Dodson and JD Sabo. The two hit back-to-back singles over the second basemen's head to give the Jags a 2-1 lead.
Custer retired the side in the second and left one on base in the third, getting UWG sophomore Harrison Waller to rollover to third base.
The Jags added two more runs in the fifth when junior transfer Nate Crown walked with two outs and freshman Hunter Boose doubled off the left-field wall to score Crown from first. An error from the Wolves' third baseman scored Boose from second for a 4-1 ASU lead.
Junior righty Cody Skinner came on in relief for the Wolves in the sixth, with Rice introducing him to the game with a single. Dodson doubled to score Rice and a base-hit bunt from Sabo put runners on first and third. Freshman Lance Mangrum hit into a fielder's choice that scored Dodson giving ASU a 6-1 lead.
Senior right-hander Zach Breaux relieved Custer in the eighth to give up an unearned run, but a groundball double play got him out of the inning. ASU went up 7-2 when Crown singled up the middle to score Sabo - who singled for his fourth hit of the day. Sabo went 4-for-5 with three stolen bases, while Boose, Foster, Rice and Dodson all had two hits - with Dodson adding two RBIs.
Getting a lineout and popup to start the ninth inning, Breaux walked one before freezing UWG's final batter for a strikeout to end the game. ASU outhit the Wolves 13-8 and had one less error.
The Jags meet the Wolves tomorrow, Sunday Feb. 10 at LOS for a series ending doubleheader at 1:00 p.m.

I�m considering buying another gun. Taurus International Manufacturing markets a .410 shotgun revolver called �The Judge� that�s piquing my interest.
I�m considering buying another gun. Taurus International Manufacturing markets a .410 shotgun revolver called �The Judge� that�s piquing my interest.
I have a somewhat emotional attachment to that particular shotgun gauge (which is actually a caliber) because Dad gave me the little single barrel .410 he had as a boy. I hunted with it from Oregon to here with great effect.
In my youth I imagined squirrels singing ballads about me and my gun around their nut stores. Nonsense, of course, but suffice it to say that I invested that little weapon with a ton of personal Tom Sawyer memories.
Regarding my impending purchase in light of the current uproar around guns and rights and responsibilities, I really don�t �need� another weapon. However I �want� it, which at my age is generally acceptable justification for most pleasures.
I�m from Texas but certainly not a cowboy in the gun-toting vernacular, although Ann and I do have concealed carry permits. We got them because when we go to the pistol range, I wanted to carry our guns in the car legally. You seldom go wrong obeying laws.
Which leads me to the observation that today, obeying present law isn�t enough for some. Apparently, I shouldn�t be left in charge of some personal choices if those in power decide I�m making �wrong� ones.
I�ve lived through a lot of administrations, but this is the first one I�ve encountered that simply doesn�t like me. But that�s okay because I and half the country are in the same boat together. I truly understand.
There are traits the president doesn�t like at all, and I seem to exhibit most of them. To wit, I�m a white, heterosexual male conservative who owns guns and plans to get at least one more. I prefer free market capitalism over socialism.
I�m also pretty much an anti-abortion-on-demand guy although I harbor no religious beliefs on the subject. I just think it grossly disingenuous to get giggly about some types of horrible deaths but not others. Tragedy isn�t age or party specific.
But logic has little to do with this crowd because it�s totally about posturing. I wish what President Obama says could be believed on its face, but that�s impossible.
I know all he utters aren�t lies but sorting out nuggets of truth from his constant sermonizing is all but impossible, sort of like picking fly specks out of black pepper. I simply don�t trust him or any of his mouthpieces.
Obama�s latest political initiative is renewing a ban on assault weapons. It�d be so very nice if we could actually keep random idiots from doing idiotic things by re-tooling machines, but it�s unlikely.
But never let it be said that logic could get in the way of a political hay harvest. He will be going coast to coast on another snake oil tour.
I accept the reality of another four years of imperial presidency spending us into disaster. I�ll be on the shooting range with my new pistol.

The manner in which you responded shows marked regard for your customer. I always tell my daughters that in many ways, we all "vote with our wallets", in choosing where to spend your money and the messages we send with who we choose to do business with matters. It's something that I feel like is an often overlooked aspect of e-commerce. Too many times price wins and little else matters. While price matters, respect and honor for your customers matters as well. I feel like you have done a great job of answering my questions and offering alternatives. Thank you for that. Those actions speak to regard for the customer more than any words could."

The next heat of the Simpson Shield will be a quick fire round - participants must perform a trick in under 60 seconds (sorry Gordon Stow). The performer can choose if they would like a warning bell to be rung just before the allotted time (50 seconds in) otherwise the final bell will be rung on the 1 minute mark.
In the second half of the evening we will welcome a great friend back to the Circle, Joe Hustler. Jon Marshall has organised members to perform some of Joe's best tricks - many of which can be found in past issues of the Oracle.

I continue to hold the minority position that fears over the fiscal cliff are becoming way overblown as each day passes. If the so called fiscal cliff is triggered, yes, the stock market will probably plunge and consumers and CEOs may decide they want to curtail spending. But those occurrences don't frighten me because I've found that it's impossible to make sound investment decisions against a backdrop of "what if" scenarios. One of my investment mandates is that I do pay attention to the economy and its trends.
I am seeing a shrinking pool of attractive equity valuations, unsustainable low interest rates, a bond bubble, and an unemployment rate that we would like to see go down. But I also see an improving housing market, financial institutions that are in significantly better shape today than they were in 2007 and 2008, and healthier consumer balance sheets. Last week, I met with my banker to refinance my home and I qualify for the fast track approval for the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) option. My banker tells me it will take up to 90 days to wrap this up because they are refinancing like crazy. In most cases, he's seeing monthly payments decline by 15% to 25%. In some cases, household mortgage payments are declining by more than 30%.
What I also see is that my efforts to take my wife away for a private holiday weekend before holiday family overload is proving difficult because I literally cannot find a decent hotel room in the city. For two differing sets of dates, I'm striking out finding a nice available hotel. Perhaps its the holidays, perhaps there is a big convention, I don't know. I also know the US economy is still recovering. But I also know that when it comes fear and uncertainty, human nature tends to always over react.
No one wants to pay more taxes; I certainly don't. But higher taxes won't stop me from capitalizing on a money making opportunity. Fiscal cliff fears didn't stop Starbucks (SBUX) from agreeing to buy Teavana (TEA) at a 50% premium to expand into the tea business. And CEO Howard Schultz remained committed to adding another 1,000 Starbucks locations. Chipotle (CMG) still plans to open 120 or so restaurants a year. When there is opportunity, people and business pounce regardless of economic backdrop. In the absence of opportunity, you sit still. Investors should behave similarly.
Berkshire Hathaway released its quarterly 13F yesterday disclosing a new $300 million position in Deere (DE). Buffett also continued adding to Wells Fargo (WFC) while eliminating nearly all of Berkshire's holdings in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Additional equity purchases and disposals were also executed. Yesterday, Warren Buffett commented in a CNN interview that the US would not enter another recession if nothing comes out of Congress by Dec. 31. Could Buffett be wrong? Absolutely. But so too can the economist be wrong who are preaching gloom and doom on January 1. I supposed I'd rather listen to a guy who owns over 70 different companies in a wide variety of industries than a person relying on charts, graphs, and his own set of opinions.
Will the stock market tank if we don't avert a fiscal cliff? Probably. I remember watching Congress casting votes a few years ago about whether or not to approve a massive injection of capital into the economy. The initial vote went negative and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 600 or so points the next day. The market is higher today and many businesses have delivered enormous shareholder value. If you're investing without discipline, neither a good nor bad economic environment will help you. Most disciplined investors today are sitting on mounds of cash waiting for Mr. Market -- or even Congress -- to throw out the fat pitch.

AC/DC guitarist 'too ill to play'
AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young is too ill to play live and unlikely to record again, according to one of his friends.
The musician's difficulties were discussed by his pal Mark Gable, the frontman of fellow Australian band Cho irboys who said it appeared the 61-year-old "is unable to perform any more".
Speculation about his health led to suggestions the band were on the brink of retirement, but US music publication Billboard has now reported that "there's no truth to the rumour".
Although there has been no official confirmation, Billboard reported on its website that insiders had dismissed the idea the band would call it a day.
The band has previously survived the death of its singer when Scottish-born frontman Bon Scott died in 1980 after a night of heavy drinking in London, to be replaced by Brian Johnson who has remained as vocalist ever since.
Gable said in an interview with ABC Radio: " Malcolm is sick. From what I understand, and it's even been confirmed in part by his son Ross, that it would appear Malcolm is unable to perform any more.
"It's not just that he is unwell, it's that it is quite serious. It will constitute that he definitely won't be able to perform live. He will probably not be able to record."
Young, who emigrated from Scotland to Australia at the age of 10 with his family, formed AC/DC in 1973 with his younger brother Angus, who has famously dressed as a schoolboy onstage for many years.
The band has been a huge draw on the rock circuit for decades, creating anthems such as Highway To Hell and Back In Black although they have tended to have album rather than single success. Their songs were used as the soundtrack for the movie Iron Man 2.
AC/DC's albums have been few and far between in recent years and their most recent release, 2008 chart-topper Black Ice, was only their third album since 1990.
Johnson said there were plans for the group to meet up in the near future but was unable to make any firm commitments about their future.
In an interview for Telegraph.co.uk, he said: "I wouldn't like to say anything either way about the future. I'm not ruling anything out. One of the boys has a debilitating illness, but I don't want to say too much about it."
He said his bandmates were going to meet up next month in Canada. "We're going to pick up some guitars, have a plonk, and see if anybody has got any tunes or ideas. If anything happens, we'll record it," Johnson said.
And he appeared to suggest the group's farewell could be on the cards when he said a 40th anniversary tour would be "a wonderful way to say bye bye".
"We would love to do it. But it's all up in the air at the moment," he said of the shows.

DCFA West End Walking Tour
Corner of Elm and Market Streets
Talk About It
There are no comments yet, be the first!
The West End of downtown Dallas has a rich architectural and cultural history. The birthplace of Dallas, it encompasses the earliest plots of land settled by John Neely Bryan and others beginning in the 1840's. With the arrival of the railroads in 1872, it became the center of a new and important commercial center—the warehouses that remain to this day hearken back to that time. Today, it serves as a juxtaposition of past and present—it is still the center of county government, but with important architectural reminders of important times in Dallas' past, including the tragic events of November 22, 1963. Join us as we examine these important buildings and put them in the larger context of architectural development in our own city and beyond.
Tours are held on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the corner of Elm and Market Streets adjacent to Founders Plaza. The tour lasts approximately two hours and is held rain or shine.
Pricing: $10 for adults, $8 for AIA Dallas members, $5 for seniors 65 and over and students with valid ID. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult.
To register, visit DallasCFA.com.
Reservations and payment must be made in advance. Due to the necessity of scheduling docents, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate walk-ups.
Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance of the tour time in order to receive a refund.

We are pretty familiar with this story: A perfectly sensible if slightly boring idea is walking down the street. Suddenly, the ideological circus descends, burying the sensible idea in hysterical claims and fevered accusations. The idea's political backers beat a craven retreat. The idea dies.
This is what seems to be happening to the Common Core education standards, which are being attacked on the right because they are common and on the left because they are core.
About seven years ago, it was widely acknowledged that state education standards were a complete mess. Huge numbers of students were graduating from high school unprepared either for college work or modern employment. A student who was rated "proficient" in one state would be rated "below basic" in another. About 14 states had pretty good standards, according to studies at the time, but the rest had standards that were verbose, lax or wildly confusing.
The National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers set out to draft clearer, consistent and more rigorous standards. Remember, school standards are not curricula. They do not determine what students read or how teachers should teach. They are the goals for what students should know at the end of each grade.
This was a state-led effort, supported by employers and financed by private foundations. This was not a federal effort, though the Obama administration did encourage states to embrace the new standards.
These Common Core standards are at least partially in place in 45 states. As is usual, the initial implementation has been a bit bumpy. It's going to take a few years before there are textbooks and tests that are truly aligned with the new standards.
But the new initiative is clearly superior to the old mess. The math standards are more in line with the standards found in the top performing math nations. The English standards encourage reading comprehension. Whereas the old standards frequently encouraged students to read a book and then go off and write a response to it, the new standards encourage them to go back to the text and pick out specific passages for study and as evidence.
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute, which has been evaluating state standards for more than 15 years, concluded that the Common Core standards are "clearly superior" to the old standards in 37 states and are "too close to call" in 11 more.
But this makes no difference when the circus comes to town.
On the right, the market-share-obsessed talk-radio crowd claims that the Common Core standards represent a federal takeover of the schools. This is clearly false. This was a state-led effort, and localities preserve their control over what exactly is taught and how it is taught. Glenn Beck claims that Common Core represents "leftist indoctrination" of the young. On Fox, Elisabeth Hasselbeck cited a curriculum item that supposedly taught students that Abraham Lincoln's religion was "liberal." But, as the education analyst Michael J. Petrilli quickly demonstrated, this was some locally generated curriculum that was one of hundreds on a lesson-sharing website and it was promulgated a year before the Common Core standards even existed.
As it's being attacked by the talk-radio right, the Common Core is being attacked by the interest group left. The general critique from progressives, and increasingly from teachers' unions, is that the standards are too difficult, that implementation is shambolic and teachers are being forced into some top-down straitjacket that they detest.
It is true that the new standards are more rigorous than the old, and that in some cases students have to perform certain math skills a year earlier than they formerly had to learn them. But that is a feature, not a bug. The point is to get students competitive with their international peers.
The idea that the Common Core is unpopular is also false. Teachers and local authorities still have control of what they teach and how they teach it. A large survey in Kentucky revealed that 77 percent of teachers are enthusiastic about the challenge of implementing the standards in their classrooms. In another survey, a majority of teachers in Tennessee believe that implementation of the standards has begun positively. Al Baker of The Times interviewed a range of teachers in New York and reported, "most said their students were doing higher-quality work than they had ever seen, and were talking aloud more often."
The new standards won't revolutionize education. It's not enough to set goals; you have to figure out how to meet them. But they are a step forward. Yet now states from New York to Oklahoma are thinking of rolling them back. This has less to do with substance and more to do with talk-radio bombast and interest group resistance to change.
The circus has come to town.

Druids not happy about Stonehenge revamp
LONDON (AP) — Druids are not happy with the $44 million revamp of Stonehenge.
Several dozen modern-day Druids in flowing robes protested at the site Wednesday, calling for the reburial of Neolithic remains displayed in an exhibition about the ancient stone circle.
King Arthur Pendragon, head of a group called the Loyal Arthurian Warband, compared the display of the bones to a Victorian peep show.
A new exhibition center at Stonehenge is intended to give visitors more background on the monument, 80 miles southwest of London. It was built over many centuries starting about 3,000 B.C. for a purpose that remains unclear.
English Heritage, which oversees Stonehenge, said it had considered using replica bones, but "authenticity is important to tell England's story."
