Rangers, Steers square off in big 4-3A game
Published 12:30 pm, Thursday, November 1, 2012
Nobody has to remind Greenwood senior center Blain Latham how important tonight's game against Big Spring is for his Rangers' playoff hopes.
The Rangers (5-3, 1-2 in District 4-3A) essentially have to win their last two games of the season in order to make the playoffs for the second consecutive year under head coach Shad Hanna. But not only are they going to Big Spring's Memorial Stadium, but they are going to be facing a desperate Steers' team (5-3, 0-3) that needs a win to at least have a glimmer of hope for the postseason.
Latham said whatever challenges that lie ahead for his team, the Rangers remain a confident bunch.
"We know we can definitely go out there and beat Big Spring and Snyder if we play like we know how," Latham said. "They are not going to be easy games, but we know we can definitely do it. I think if we play like we did against Sweetwater (a 31-13 victory on Oct. 19), which was pretty much a complete game for us, we can go out there and get the win."
Big Spring coach Phillip Ritchey knows how good Greenwood can be, but really his main concern lies in his team, which is coming off a blowout home loss (42-9) to Sweetwater. Ritchey saw the energy of his team get sucked out during that game and wants to emphasize to his team that it still has a lot to play for during this final stretch.
"We still have an outside chance at the playoffs if we win," Ritchey said. "The game (against Sweetwater) didn't start out the way we would have liked and the kids just shut it down. They're pretty down but they know what's at stake. They are slowly bouncing back."
Hanna said this game is do-or-die for both teams and adds his Rangers can't afford to overlook the Steers.
"I really think they're a good football team and they've got a lot of talent," said Hanna of the Steers. "I've told my team that their backs are against the wall, they need a win to stay alive. So, we better be ready to play."
The Rangers have some bouncing back of their own to do after a 48-20 home loss to No. 2-ranked Abilene Wylie. The Rangers had opportunities to make the game close in the first half but they turned the ball over on downs inside the Wylie 10-yard line and then mistakes later in the game allowed the Bulldogs to pull away.
"We learned that we can't give up throughout a game," Latham said. "And even though some teams may be bigger and faster than us, we have to play through it."
Latham said that while the Rangers' defense will have to step up in order to slow down quarterback Tobyn Tannehill and the Steers' potent offense, a key for his offense will be the play of the offensive line.
"It's going to be important we play well in order to protect (quarterback) Kam (Williams) and open lanes for (running back) Braydin Moreland to run through," Latham said.
Ritchey said his team can't afford another letdown against the Rangers.
"We need to make some big plays and make some positive things happen for us early in the game," he said. "We want to play as good as we can. We have been kind of snake bit the last few weeks and we just have to get past that some how."

When/where: 7:30 p.m., Memorial Stadium, Big Spring
On the air: KBYG (106.3 FM, 1400 AM), KBEST (95.7 FM), Big Spring
Records: Greenwood 5-3, 1-2 in District 4-3A; Big Spring 5-3, 0-3
Last game: Abilene Wylie 48, Greenwood 20; Sweetwater 42, Big Spring 9
Last meeting/series: The teams have only met twice before with each team winning once in the last two years. Greenwood won 35-14 last year.
Weather forecast: Temperatures in the mid 70s at kickoff, getting down to the upper 60s at the end of the game.
n This game is a must-win for both teams if they want to have a shot at the postseason.
n Greenwood is coming off a loss to No. 2-ranked Wylie as the Bulldogs had a 27-7 halftime lead and out-gained the Rangers 400-233. The Rangers also turned the ball over three times against the opportunistic Bulldogs.
QB Kam Williams (6-3, 200, Sr.) was 14-of-26 passing for 112 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, to go with 61 yards rushing and two TDs. WR Brackston Buck (6-0, 170, Sr.) had five receptions for 83 yards.
Greenwood coach Shad Hanna said the Rangers must put the loss behind them as they still have control of their own destiny.
"We don't want to put ourselves in a position to be relying on anybody else to make the playoffs," he said.
n Hanna said the Rangers should be in better shape healthwise and personnel-wise this week as they are getting some players back from academic ineligibility and getting over some sickness that went through the varsity last week.
n Big Spring is coming off a devastating home loss to rival Sweetwater.
Steers coach Phillip Ritchey said when his Steers got behind early in the game, the team got down from a mental standpoint and didn't play well the rest of the game.
Sweetwater jumped out to 21-0 lead before the Steers scored their only points of the game in the second quarter.
Big Spring had 300 yards of total offense with 207 coming on the ground. RB Jahari Vanover (Jr.) had 68 yards rushing on nine carries, RB Michael Oliva (Sr.) added 55 yards and one TD on 11 carries. QB Tobyn Tannehill (Soph.) was just 9-of-19 passing for 87 yards with one interception.
n Ritchey said some Steers are battling injuries but Tannehill (shoulder, groin), DE Diamond Bailey (ankle) and Oliva (hip) are expected to play. WR Ty'Ral Menefield (knee) and RB Michael Vanderbilt (knee) were recently lost for the year with injuries.
n Ritchey said the Rangers appear to have an all-around good football team.
"They have one of the best quarterbacks that we've seen this year and he seems to do it all," Ritchey said. "He throws the ball very well and runs it well too. He seems to be very much in command of that offensive scheme. They also have good receivers and their offensive line does a good job. Defensively, they get after it and they seem to be playing fast."
Next: Snyder at Greenwood, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9; Big Spring at Monahans, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9

Microsoft Forced to Apologise for Racist Twitter AI
Microsoft has issued an apology over their creation of an artificial intelligence program behind a Twitter account that began to post and retweet racist remarks. The chatbot, named Tay, was designed to become more intelligent as users interacted with it; however, it quickly started imitating targeted trolling messages tweeted at it, claiming that "the holocaust was made up," "the Jews did 9/11," and "I f***ng hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell." As a result, Tay was deactivated within 24 hours of its introduction. But on Friday, Peter Lee, Microsofts Head of Research, said the company was "deeply sorry for the unintended offensive and hurtful tweets" and has deactivated Tay's Twitter account for the foreseeable future. He added: "Tay is now offline and we'll look to bring Tay back only…

Literate Programming Using Noweb
In essence, the purpose of literate programming (LP) can be found in the following quote:
"Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to humans what we want the computer to do."—Donald E. Knuth, 1984.
Such an environment reverses the notion of including documentation, in the form of comments within the code, to one where the code is embedded within a program's description. In doing so, literate programming facilitates the development and presentation of computer programs that more closely follow the conceptual map from the problem space to the solution space. This, in turn, leads to programs that are easier to debug and maintain.
When writing literate programs, one specifies the program description and the program code in a single source file, in the order best suited to human understanding. The program code can be extracted and assembled from this file into a form which the compiler or interpreter can understand—a process called "tangling". Documentation is produced by "weaving" the description and code into a form ready to be typeset (most often by TeX or LATeX).
Many different tools have been created for literate programming over the years. Most of the more popular are based, either directly or conceptually, on the WEB system created by D. E. Knuth ("Literate Programming", The Computer Journal (27)2:97-111, 1984). This article focuses on Norman Ramsey's noweb—a simple to use, extensible literate programming tool that is independent of the target programming language.
When you write a literate program using noweb, you create a simple text file (which by convention has a .nw extension) in which you provide all of the technical documentation for the various parts of the program, along with the actual source code for each part of the program.
This file ( Listing 1 ), which we call the nw source file, is then processed by noweave to create the documentation in a form ready for typesetting (the typeset version of the program is shown in Figure 1), or by notangle to extract the code chunks and assemble them in their proper order for the compiler or interpreter (the executable version of the program is in Listing 2 ). These two processes are not stand-alone programs, but a set of filters through which the nw source file is piped. It is this pipeline system that makes noweb both flexible and extensible, since the pipelines can be modified and new filters can be created and inserted in the pipelines to change the behavior of noweb.
Like most literate programming tools, noweb depends on TeX or LATeX—(LA)TeX to refer to either—for typesetting the documentation (although it has options for producing HTML output as well). However, one need not be a (LA)TeX guru to produce good results. All of the hard work of cross-referencing, indexing and typesetting the code is handled automatically by noweave.
The best way to get a feel for the capabilities of noweb is by reference to the finished product: the typeset version of a program. Figure 1 represents the typeset version of a Perl script that actually extends noweb's functionality by providing a limited "autodefs" filter. This filter will recognize and mark package and subroutine names for automatic cross-referencing and indexing.
When looking at this example, one can quickly see how chunks of actual code are interspersed throughout the descriptive text. Each code chunk is uniquely identified by page number and an alphabetic sub-page reference. For example, in Figure 1, there are four code chunks on the first page labeled in the left margin as 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d.
Besides the marginal tag, the first line of each code chunk also has its name and a chunk reference enclosed in angle brackets at the left margin and perhaps cross-reference information at the right margin. Lets examine chunk 1b more closely—a reasonable facsimile of its first line is:
1b <
This line tells us that we are now in chunk 1b. The <Global variables 1a>+= construct tells us we are working on the chunk named Global variables whose definition begins in chunk 1a. The += indicates that we are adding to the definition of Global variables. At the right margin we encounter (1d) <1a 1c>, which means that the chunk we are defining is used in chunk 1d, and that the current chunk is continued from chunk 1a and will be further continued in chunk 1c. It should be noted that all of these visual cross-referencing clues—with the exception of the chunk name itself—are provided automatically by noweb.
At the end of any chunk there are two optional footnotes—a "Defines" footnote and a "Uses" footnote. A user can manually specify, in the nw source file, a list of identifiers (i.e., variables or subroutines) which are defined in the current chunk. In addition, some identifiers may be automatically recognized, if an "autodefs" filter for the programming language is used. There are autodefs filters available for many languages including C, Icon, TeX, yacc and Pascal).
These identifiers are listed in the "Defines" footnote below the chunk where their definition occurs, along with a reference to any chunks which use them. Any occurrence of a defined identifier is referenced in a "Uses" footnote below the chunk that uses that identifier.
For example, in Figure 1, we see that chunk 1c defines the term $index_prefix which is used in chunk 2b. A quick peek at chunk 2b verifies that, indeed, this term is used and appears in the "Uses" footnote for that chunk.
Chunk 1d, autodefs.perl, represents the top level description of our entire program. This chunk is referred to as a "root" chunk in noweb and is not used in any other chunk. Our example has but one root chunk, although as many as you wish can be defined in your nw source file, and notangle can extract each of them into separate files.
The first line of code in chunk 1d is the obligatory #!/usr/bin/perl line which must begin all Perl scripts intended to be invoked as an executable program. However, the next two lines are not lines of Perl code at all but instead are references to other named chunk definitions. The code from those referenced chunks will be inserted at this point in the executable program extracted by notangle. Thus, we have a broad overview of our program, uncluttered by the specific global variable initializations and subroutine definitions.
Looking at chunk 2a, which is included in our root chunk, we see that it also includes another chunk, chunk 2b. This demonstrates that the inclusion of chunks can be nested to practically any level and can occur in any order in the documentation (definitions need not precede uses).
Our documentation ends with two optional indices provided by noweb—an index of code chunks and an index of identifiers.

Golf: Warren Wins Panama Open
Published 7:00 pm, Friday, January 17, 2003
Former Clemson player Charles Warren III won the Panama Open on Saturday, closing with a 1-under 71 for a one-stroke victory over fellow American Ken Duke.
Warren, who had a double-bogey 6 on the closing hole, had a 4-under 284 total on the Coronado Beach course. He earned $40,000.
"I was really looking forward to competition today," said Warren, preparing for the Nationwide Tour season. "You never really know what to expect at the beginning of a new season."
Duke also finished with a 71.
Argentina's Juan Abbate (72) finished third at 3 under, and Americans Steve Haskins (72), Jeff Klauk (73) and Mexico's Alejandro Quiroz (71) followed at 2 under.

Before you go reading this comment thread (link below) be aware that just because something is possible in a programming language, it doesn't mean you should do things that way. Also, there's a LOT of BAD code in the main post.
masklinn comments on Today I learned about PHP variable variables; "variable variable takes the value of a variable and treats that as the name of a variable". Also, variable..
[The following is the opinion of Gordon, not necessarily AzPHP as a whole]
Personally, I avoid variable variables like the plague. If you feel the need to use one, step back and see if you can use an associative array instead. You will thank me later. An array structure is much easier to deal with than a bunch of unlinked funky-named variables that you have to rebuild each time you need them. Arrays are increasingly useful if you have to loop through said data structures or easily store them.
Variable variables are both powerful and a curse. Use them if you feel you must, but I only ask that you use them wisely.

Tap into your sixth sense
Tap into your sixth sense
A new way to navigate! Experience this groundbreaking, proximity-sensing headband, which uses haptic technology feedback to guide you, blindfolded, through a maze of obstacles.
Project Sentiri started with a simple question: How can we help people with visual impairments navigate their way around more easily, safely and efficiently? While there are existing methods (ranging from voice recognition to the traditional cane), there's a huge opportunity to improve on the experience and make it more natural and consistent. We wanted to create a way that the user could more safely and easily navigate a chaotic environment like a noisy, busy city or a complicated route with multiple turns, curves or imprecise directions and destinations.
Sentiri is a proximity-sensing headband that gives the wearer the ability to "sense" their environment using haptic feedback via eight modules placed around the wearer's head. Using sensors, small motors and BLE connectivity, Sentiri gives the wearer the ability to receive information and can direct them in a specific direction, tell them when they've arrived at a destination, or even notify them of upcoming obstacles in their way.
While a band similar to this has been built before, we wanted to create a version for the visually impaired that was more efficient, accurate and user-friendly than what previously existed. Also, this is the first headband to allow for third-party control or third-party services (like Google Maps). We also want to emphasize that while Sentiri started as a solution to a human problem, we're also using it to explore a much bigger and globally applicable concept: haptic language.
While the original intention for Sentiri was to assist people with visual impairments, there are plenty of other ways in which this tech could be implemented or adapted.
Take, for example, a form of discreet communication for the military. A headband such as this could be used to direct troops without the use of signals that are visible, audible or even detectable to anyone but the wearer. Sentiri could also be used as a hands-free navigation tool for any driver, who would no longer have to look down at their phone to check their route or deal with annoying voice commands. It's a wearable that you barely have to interact with.
There's also the opportunity to replace the infrared sensors with something like thermal detection with a tool like Panasonic's Grid EYE Thermal Array Sensor. This would give any wearer—with or without a visual disability—the opportunity to "sense" in a way they never have before. (This is a particularly relatable and useful concept for anyone who's ever tripped over their dog in the dark.)
Finally, in a general sense, Sentiri also serves as an exploration into the idea of creating a haptic language and the best way we can communicate with our skin—our largest organ. Essentially, this technology is taking Morse code and stepping it up by not only changing the frequency and amount of pulses to transmit data, but the intensity of the vibrations as well, and a mixture of these types of signals could be used to convey all kinds of information.

A retirement planning tool that was eliminated as a budget cutting move in the past couple years was the annual Social Security Benefit Estimate. Workers received a personal annual paper statement about 3 months before their birthday summarizing current Social Security benefits. Many individuals and financial planners protested since this was a valuable tool in the financial planning process.
Early in 2012 the Social Security Administration resumed paper statements but only to workers over 60 who are not currently receiving benefits. Workers turning age 25, will receive a statement as well. Others can get access to their statements but only online.
The new online Social Security Statement is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/mystatement. Once verified, people will create "My Social Security" account with a unique user name and password to access their online statement. In addition, the portal also includes links to other information online services such as, applications for retirement, disability and Medicare.
The Social Security Administration anticipates that the online service may not work smoothly for some due to the need to verify identity with information that matches Social Security records. Those who cannot verify online initially can visit their local Social Security office and present an identity document in order to create an account and gain access to the online version of the statement.
More information on the Social Security Benefit statement can be found at the Social Security Administration website www.ssa.gov/ . Remember, this is one tool to use in planning for your retirement security.

And they've had to work SO hard on both this AND the Aussie show (which you can view in its entirety on YouTube if you'd like) to TOTALLY avoid showing the contestants meeting each other on camera, when they've often been occupying the same houses at the same time! Heck, given that they only show us a small percentage of their work-out time, they've probably worked out together too.Originally Posted by Broadway;2887212;
The thing is, spending time without the trainers actually works well as a dramatic device, except well... we know there are other reasons than a dramatic edit for it.
Ali should have the advantage I guess. Sure she still worked with a trainer outside, but I doubt it was full time. Then again, having lost the most weight this last week, maybe that will be a handicap, while Mark and Roger get huge numbers.
And I have NO idea who America at large would vote to bring to the finale. My assumption is that the two biggest losers get an automatic pass, and the two smallest losers don't. And then America chooses between those two. But to help the time catch up BOTH of them keep working out during the gap, and only at the finale do they (and we) find out who the third finalist is.
My guess is that Roger and Mark are the two BLs, and the choice is between Kelly and Ali. And its totally unpredictable who America would pick. They probably empathize more with Kelly, but admire Ali more.

A Soft Lithography Process for Manufacture of Alumina Micro-Components
Zhigang Zhu, Xueyong Wei and Kyle Jiang
Centre for MicroEngineering and NanoTechnology, School of Engineering, The University of Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK
This paper presents a soft lithography technique to fabricate alumina microcomponents. The process uses elastomer polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) and makes the green patterns in tact after demoulding. The five steps of the soft lithography process are: (I) fabricating thick SU-8 moulds using UV photolithography; (II) producing PDMS soft mould from the SU-8 masters; (III) making aqueous high solids loading alumina suspension; (IV) filling patterned PDMS moulds with the aqueous alumina suspension; (V) demoulding and sintering. The rheological properties (Zeta potential and viscosity) of aqueous alumina suspensions was characterized in relation with varying pH values and concentration of dispersant (D-3005). The optimal parameters of the alumina suspension for the mould filling have been achieved as pH value = 11; concentration of dispersant (D-3005) = 0.05 g/ml; amount of binder (B-1000+ B-1007) = 0.75%, the highest solid loading = 70 wt.%. After pressurised mould filling, the complete, dense and freestanding microcomponents have been achieved by using 70wt.% alumina suspension and optimum fabrication technique, while the overall shrinkage is found as ca. 22%.

Fabrication Chain for Prototyping of Microfluidic Chips in Polymers
T. Brenner, C. Müller, H. Reinecke, R. Zengerle, and J. Ducrée
IMTEK – University of Freiburg, Georges-Koehler-Allee 106, D-79110 Freiburg, Germany
We established an integrated prototyping chain for rapid fabrication of microfluidic chips in polymers comprising fabrication of masters made from elastomers, replication into polymers by soft embossing, surface modification and thermal sealing. Our techniques enable rapid and precise fabrication of fully functionalized microfluidic chips featuring typical minimum lateral dimensions of 50 μm and aspect ratios smaller than one.

i really liked this episode. probably because it stars my favorite pokemon and because charmander evolved.
i really liked this episode. probably because it stars my favorite pokemon and because charmander evolved.
There was once a time when I was known as Exeggudork...
While I didn't really like the character of the day in this episode, I did enjoy the evolution of Charmander and the pretty solid ending to the synopsis. It's funny just to see all that brave personality of Charmander disappearing once its evolved.
Charmeleon! He's so cool I love his design
The Goldeen outfit. The one I do not like. The guy was so annoying, you just don't ask someone to be in your show. If I were Misty, I wouldn't have been too nice. And using Ash while he was hypnotized is a dirty trick, but as usual, they forgive the people at the end of the episode.
'It begins!!' was what I was thinking when Charmander evolved.
My top favorites
Claimed by me!
Formerly Painkiller2001
Ugh, everything about Melvin irked me. His design was just odd, as was his dub voice. Anyway, I wish we had seen Ash and friends enjoy the carnival a lot more, although I liked that Ash used his Kanto Starters when he was helping Melvin with his tricks. Seeing Exeggcute hypnotize Ash was creepy though, as was seeing the Exeggutor stampede.
Misty looked sorta hot dressed in her Goldeen outfit lol. Charmander evolving into Charmeleon gave me goosebumps.
I liked seeing the carnival setting and Melvin's Exeggcute using Hypnosis on Ash was strange. The Exeggutor rampage scene was cool especially when Ash's Charmander evolved into Charmeleon.
Exeggcute seemed kind of creepy especially when it manipulated Ash and Misty looked beautiful when she helped Melvin's show. 8/10
I was glad when we saw Charmander evolving because Charmeleon rocked + I felt sad for Melvin's bad magic tricks.
Uh, how did Exeggcute even evolve in the first place just by going into the forest? This was OS's most random episode, and Melvin was the most whiny COTD that we've ever had.
Maggie's magic show was tragic, although it was still nice of Kasumi to help him out. I liked when we saw Satoshi's own magic trick with the boxes, and Tamatama evolving into Nassy and stomping around seemed incredibly chaotic. I loved when Hitokage evolved though because he saved the town.
A meh episode. On one hand, Melvin was a really boring character. On the other hand, Charmander actually evolved after defeating a whole bunch of rampaging Exeggutor, similiarly to how evolution works in the games, so that's pretty cool.
I loved seeing Charmander evolve into Charmeleon here. Melvin was kind of boring and somewhat annoying but I liked how Misty was nice and tried to help him out.
~RIP gen 8 for 2018~
~Biggest DP fan...apparently ~
Melvin the magician seemed like such a creeper, but as incompetent as he was, he was able to put Ash under Exeggcute's Hypnosis and force him to battle with several dozen Exeggutor simultaneously.
How come Misty was helping the magician in the first place? The Exeggcute seemed evil when it hypnotized Ash, and Charmander evolving made me upset.

David Chang and Goodwin Gaw, owners of the 298 room Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, have once again taken over the management reigns in order to further preserve the truly unique spirit of the hotel and give the undivided attention that only an in-house, independent management company may provide
The iconic boutique hotel has recently undergone a $25 million room renovation, led by internationally renowned design firm Yabu Pushelberg. With a palette showcasing subtle textures, beautiful leathers, and soft grey tones with persimmon-red accents, the new design maintains the integrity of the hotel's Spanish Colonial roots, but with a modern twist. Under the new management direction, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel will continue to maintain the individuality that has allowed it to forge a distinctive place in Hollywood history for nearly 90 years, while tastefully revitalizing its storied past.
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel has long been a meeting spot for Hollywood elite and entertainment industry figures. Spaces within the hotel such as the Tropicana Cafe and the Library Bar draw creatives for its intimate and picturesque surroundings- a welcome respite from the bustling Hollywood neighborhood.
The Hollywood Roosevelt exudes the charm and glamour of a bygone era through its other spaces as well: from the prohibition-era style cocktail lounge and hand-crafted bowling alley the Spare Room; to famed Hollywood hot spot, Teddy's; to the incredible views from its iconic Rooftop; and including one of Hollywood's most cherished oases: the Tropicana Pool, with its mass of palm trees and the renowned David Hockney pool–a celebrated artistic and architectural masterpiece.

Noteworthy: Marquette Athletics' July 27 Notebook
July 27, 2017
Freshmen volunteer at the Miracle League
Twenty-two new Marquette freshmen student-athletes partnered with a special-needs buddy for a baseball game Tuesday evening as Miracle League volunteers at Werner Family Foundation Park at the Milwaukee Northwest YMCA.
The Miracle League allows all children to play organized baseball, regardless of ability. Special-needs kids dress in uniforms, make plays in the field and round the bases, just like their peers in standard little leagues.
The Miracle League of Milwaukee partnered together with the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee to build the complex and offer the program to youth throughout greater Milwaukee. In 2011, the Miracle League Field opened at the Northwest YMCA on Milwaukee's northwest side. The field, through a custom-designed, rubberized turf, accommodates wheelchairs and other assistive devices and creates a baseball environment that is open to all.
Student-athletes enrolled in summer school from the men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, men's lacrosse and men's soccer programs all participated on Tuesday evening.
Roeders to kick off U.S. Timbersports Collegiate Championship Sunday
Native German Markus Roeders will make an appearance at Milwaukee's German Fest on Sunday afternoon to make the first cut to open the STIHL Timbersports 2017 U.S. Collegiate Championship at 1:55 p.m. The native of Idstedt, Germany is entering his 22nd year as head coach of the Marquette University women's soccer program, which he has led to 13 NCAA tournament appearances and 10 regular season conference titles. The six-time conference coach of the year has led the Golden Eagles to an overall record of 302-119-46 in his career and will welcome his 2017 squad back to Milwaukee on Aug. 1 for the beginning of fall training.
Golden Eagles end TBT run in quarters
The Basketball Tournament run for the squad of Marquette alumni ended Sunday afternoon in the Midwest Regional final to Scarlet & Gray, 81-56, in Brooklyn, New York. Darius Johnson-Odom ('12) led the Golden Eagles with 15 points, but the team shot just 31.7 percent from the floor and 16 percent from deep in the loss. Davante Gardner ('14) led the team with 20 points in its 84-77 win over Purple and Black on Saturday afternoon in the Super 16.
Diener returning to pro ranks
Travis Diener, who has served as the Marquette University men's basketball team's director of player personnel for the past three seasons, is departing the program and will return to Italy to resume his professional basketball career in mid-August.
Diener has signed with Vanoli Cremona in Italy's top division and will play with his cousin, Drake Diener. The team is coached by Meo Sacchetti, who was Diener's coach at his most recent team (Banco di Sardegna Sassari).
DeMichiei continues to earn academic honors
Recent Marquette University graduate Andy DeMichiei is the 2016-17 men's lacrosse recipient of the BIG EAST Conference Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award, the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards recognize academic and athletic achievement as well as community service. Eligible student-athletes must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and at least junior academic standing. DeMichiei marks the third-straight Marquette lacrosse player to win the award after B.J. Grill won it in 2016 and Jordan Greenfield claimed the honor in 2015.
Marquette Golfers Shine in July WSGA Events
Marquette's Hunter Eichhorn and Matthew Bachmann each posted 3-over-par scores of 283 to finish tied for 10th at the 72-hole 116th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship last week (July 17-20) at Oconomowoc Golf Club.
Charlie Maleki posted Marquette's other top-20 finish, tied for 14th with a 4-over-par 284. Former All-BIG EAST selection Nick Nelson (2012-16) also finished tied for 14th.
After shooting 4-over-par in his first two rounds on the par-70 course, Eichhorn closed strong and was one of seven players in the red in the final round, shooting a 1-under-par 69. Eichhorn, a native of Carney, Michigan, will be a player to watch for the Golden Eagles in 2017-18 after becoming the first player in Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) history to win four state individual championships after taking the UP Division 3 Finals crown last month.
MHSAA blog Second Half chronicled Eichhorn's decorated and unique prep sports career: Click Here
Eichhorn and Maleki also participated in US Amateur Open Qualifying at Watertown C.C. on Monday (July 24) - Maleki, who was in the US Amateur field last year, is an alternate after finishing with a 3-under-par 36-hole score and one shot off the qualifying pace.

Engine Performance problem
1996 Chevy Lumina 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 224500 miles
I just did an upper rebuild on a '96 Lumina that had blown head gaskets. Got the car cheap, and previous owner never said it ran rough when idling. After rebuild, car runs great on highway but when you come to a stop or have it at idle for extended period of time, it kicks to a low idle, and then it seems to kick to a very low idle. Check engine light comes on and code reads "Multiple Cylinder Misfire". Wondering if this might be the problem of just teh idle screw needing to be tweaked a bit or if there might be a bigger problem.
have the same problem?

Lockout over, hearing continues
- Blog Post by:
- January 7, 2013 - 6:53 PM
DFL Rep. Joe Atkins, who displayed a talent for finding legislative issues off the news when Democrats were last in charge, plans to go forward with a hearing on the NHL lockout even though the lockout has ended.
The hearing, announced last week, is on the docket for January 23.
"Whether it's the NHL, NFL, the Minnesota Orchestra, or the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, lockouts have been happening more and more frequently with groups who received taxpayer dollars, despite promises by those groups of economic activity and jobs," Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights, said in a release. "We have an obligation to taxpayers to find ways to minimize the economic impact of these lockouts in the future."
Taxpayers helped pay for the St. Paul Xcel Energy Center where the Minnesota Wild play.
Once session starts on Tuesday, Atkins will be the chair of the House Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee.

Data on the Neighborhoods of New York City and New York StateEntry ID: human_dimensions_NY
Abstract: The Infoshare Community Information Service is a sophisticated tool
that lets planners, community activists, teachers, students,
researchers, and ordinary citizens view and analyze a vast array of
community and regional data.
InfoShare Online (http://www.infoshare.org/) includes over 3000
neighborhood definitions and 50,000 items of data gathered during the
last decade on the neighborhoods. ... These include population statistics,
immigration trends, socio-economic indicators, birth and death data,
hospitalizations, local trade data, and much more.
Except for Demographic Projections, which are purchased from
commercial firms, all data files are obtained from City, State and
Federal government agencies. Community Studies of New York is in
constant contact with these agencies, and incorporates the newest data
as soon as it becomes available. Community Studies obtains from its
data sources data at the smallest geographic area at which it is
publicly available, usually census tracts and zip codes. To provide
data for other geographies, a series of overlap factors has been
developed which convert this small-scale data into these larger areas
of special interest. Such overlap factors are based upon the
distribution of residential housing, when this is available. In that
case, the overlaps approximate as closely as possible the distribution
of the population by residence. Where this residential data is not
available, geographic overlap factors are derived using standard
geographic mapping overlays.

Hi all.
I purchased a used Traxxas XO-1. Could someone tell me if the rear shocks are the same as the front shocks.
Do the front shocks have a extra blue rubber bit inside of them to make them shorter.
Also I could not find any exploded view of the shocks.
The Manual also states the front shocks are at 83mm and the rear shocks 87mm, is this correct??
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
yep they're both the same front front to back. the rear shock should have the the silicone piece too. and when you say extra, you mean there's 2?
Thank you for your reply.
If they are the same, Traxxas factory settings on the Shocks are 83mm and 87mm in the user manual.
Not sure which way 83mm on the front or back??
I did find in one of the front shocks that the shaft had a blue silicone piece on the inside of the case.
This shortens the shock to 83mm if that makes sense.
83 front sir. yea the silicone should be in both the front and back and they're there to stop the rebound. it shouldnt make the shock shorter though unless if it's on the inside of the shocks body.
btw are you still using the stock white springs?
Last edited by FartOfDoom; 01-31-2013 at 06:36 AM.
Hi, yes i am using the stock white springs. All 4 shocks have the silicone stop for the rebound, but one of the front ones had a silicone piece on the inside of the shock body.
If traxxas recommends the front shocks to be 83mm and the rear 87mm before they go on the car, they must be different or both front shocks should have the silicone stopper on the inside of the body to make them shorter.
Sorry i am new to this and please excuse my ignorance.
All sorted out now, the front shocks have a extra bit in them to make them shorter.
Thanks heaps FartOfDoom.

Well, what do we have here? It turns out that Ubuntu isn't the only Linux distribution who took a left turn off the X.org highway, now driving on a road that will eventually lead to replacing X.org with Wayland. Fedora's 'graphics cabal', as they call themselves, have explained themselves on Fedora's devel mailing list. They also explain how network transparency can be added to Wayland in a number of different ways, making the mailing list thread intriguing reading material. Also, everybody happy with the headline? No panties in twists this time around...?

Snarky Puppy is truly a different kind of musical animal
The once Texan, now New York-based quasi-collective has gone from the best-kept secret to one of the most respected names in instrumental music. Although still "underground" in many respects, the band has earned high praise from critical stalwarts like the BBC, Village Voice, Guardian, and Boston Herald, and has performed at some of the best venues and festivals in Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America.
The band has always used live performance as its chief form of evangelism, and maintains a more intense tour schedule than almost any band in the idiom. Over the course of 2014, Snarky Puppy will have played almost 200 performances and workshops on four continents, including North Sea Jazz, Monterey Jazz Festival, Paris Jazz Festival, Blue Note Tokyo, EFG London Jazz Festival and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
Fresh off the heels of their 2014 Grammy win, Snarky Puppy released their latest album 'We Like It Here'. Recorded live in the Pups signature style, the album debuted at # 1 on the itunes Jazz charts across the world and established the band as the standard-bearers for a new movement in jazz.
Back on tour! Here's a great shot of @Larnell_Lewis at @jazzavienne last night by Stella K. pic.twitter.com/bpmBioa6re

Snarky Puppy have just won the 'Best new artist' and 'Best Electric/Jazz-Rock/Contemporary Group/Artist' categories in Jazztimes magazines readers annual poll.
2015 will see the band release their first major label album, a ground breaking collaboration, specially written orchestral suite with the world famous Metropole Orkest on the legendary Impulse Label. They will also be recording the second volume of their Grammy award winning 'Family Dinner' series in New Orleans with a stellar guest artist line up.
Snarky Puppy seamlessly fuses a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most critical- or most carefree- audience. The convergence of musicians from white and black America, which occurred while the band was in its adolescence at the University of North Texas, has naturally established a system of balance that instantly draws listeners to the music- raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most importantly, a delicate mixture of composition, harmony, melody and improvisation.
The group is led by award-winning bassist/guitarist/composer/arranger Michael League, whose creative grass-roots approach to a tougher-than-ever industry has created a new model for independent artists. Snarky Puppy is a three-headed creature: first, and most obviously- an original music ensemble. Second- a production team and session band for individual artists. Third, and probably most importantly- Snarky Puppy is a group of musicians enthusiastically committed to music education and community outreach. Working with groups like ROAM (Roots Of American Music) in inner city Cleveland and the Music Lab at Jefferson Center in Roanoke, as well as giving clinics at hundreds of colleges, high schools, and middle schools worldwide, the band has made a strong commitment to spreading their love of music and general positivity to a young generation looking for something real to be inspired by.

[Dedicated to Jenine Shiongshu and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP)]
ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR has just begun.
Schools around the country usually begin their first day with the flag ceremony. When a teacher moves the hands and/or the accompaniment is played, everyone will stand tall, will face the flagpole and will place their hand over their heart — save those in Scouting and/or CAT uniform as they will salute — and will sing "Lupang Hinirang."
In television and radio operations, they are required by law (Republic Act 8491) to play it during sign-on and sign-off on their broadcast day. As long as the lyrics, the tempo and the melody are compliantly concerned, when it comes to the visual concept — for television, obviously — it is a different story.
In the spirit of Araw ng Kalayaan as well for next week, Timow's Turf will tackle over that aspect in detail for each network. Bear in mind that this does count MVs that is aired for seasonal purposes such as Women's Month provided by the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) last March. (more…)

I had a whole list of "Ways To Improve The Oscars Telecast" written up, which included UFC-style ring girls for every category, WWE-style promo videos for each actor, and Truckasaurus, but now I'm worried that they may fall on deaf ears as it turns out Sunday's Oscars telecast was the most watched in 14 years. Nearly 44 million viewers tuned in to watch a charming lesbian hand out awards to male models for pretending to have AIDs.
…the Oscars capped off the week in a big way as the Ellen DeGeneres-hosted kudocast drew the best numbers for any entertainment telecast this season (13.1/33 in 18-49, 43.74m) — rising vs. last year across the board and hitting a 14-year high in total viewers. The last non-sports program to draw a larger overall audience was the finale of NBC's "Friends" in May 2004. [Variety]
The only real differences I can see between this year's telecast and past years was that it was hosted by a comedian with years of experience handling a live audience, and compared to last year, it didn't start of with 10 minutes of musical numbers. It also aired about a week later than it normally does. Was it the Leto bump? Hell, I don't know. I just hope they don't take an "if it ain't broke" approach to next year's show, because I could do with a lot fewer ambiguously-themed movie montages, introductory speeches about "unsung heroes" and "triumphs of the human spirit," and especially, musical performances by Bono. In fact, next year they should just put Bono in a dunking booth and the winners all get five throws.

Many of the toxic assets now crippling the international financial system resulted from selling unrealistic mortgages to those who couldn't afford them, on the presumption that houses prices would rise forever. According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, there were 40,000 repossessions in 2008 – up from 7,100 in 2007 – a figure that is likely to rise in 2009. Shelter predicts that the recent collapse in house building will mean a total housing shortfall in England of almost 1 million by 2020.
As well as help for those facing repossession and massive house-building programmes, there's something else that should come under review: the regulation of estate agents in the English rental market.
During the good years, the get-rich-quick bubble of the property market meant easy pickings for middlemen. In places like east London, the high levels of poverty and the high densities of immigrants with poor command of English meant lucrative opportunities for the unscrupulous and borderline criminal.
Websites like Gumtree carry horrific accounts of tenants' experiences at the hands of estate agents. Put the names of some London estate agents into Google and the reports from previous tenants are eye-watering. Over the last six months I have been tricked into losing £500 of deposit money, verbally abused and witnessed rooms being deliberately double-sold for profit by east London estate agents.
I'm a university graduate, with English as a first language, and I know and check my rights. Most of the people renting in my area are immigrants with poor English and, I suspect, little knowledge of their rights as tenants. If I have to fight tooth and claw to ensure I'm not being ripped off, how much must they suffer?
What we have in England is a situation where estate agents have all the power – and they know it. In large part this is because there is no requirement to belong to a regulatory body in order to set up and practice as an agent. Although the Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007 compels estate agents to register in a redress scheme, it makes virtually no provision for their regulation. To make matters worse, while the recession has already begun killing off many estate agents, it is likely that the most ruthless are precisely those who will best survive, dominating the field when the good times return.
Unsurprisingly things aren't like this everywhere. In France, estate agents are highly regulated, governed by a 1970 law, the Loi Hoguet, and a 1972 decree. These were passed to protect the public from unacceptably low standards of ethics and competence and are strictly enforced.
French estate agents must possess a special licence which lasts only a year and is reviewed upon expiry. This is not easy to obtain: applicants will need diplomas in French law and/or many years of experience in the field.
A further tenet of French law is that estate agents are only allowed to hold small sums of money when acting as middlemen between tenants and landlords (unlike in the UK where agents can hold unrestricted thousands). If an estate agent is found to have acted improperly, the amount of money they can hold in future is decreased as part of their licence. So every tenant in France knows that if an agent is only licensed for smaller sums, they have a history of misconduct.
Estate agent regulation in the UK needs to more closely reflect the French model, as opposed to the present opt-in model. In the UK's recent history, those who have been able to afford to buy houses have done so, leaving the rental market mostly to the poor. Estate agents should have been prevented from exploiting the ignorance, naivety, linguistic disadvantage, timidity or poverty of those who have to rent long before this recession came. With more people forced to rent because they cannot obtain a mortgage, it is the perfect opportunity to implement reform.

Easy Digital Scrapbooking: My Stickease Galore!If you're familiar with Close To My Heart's classic scrapbooking products, you surely know about our wonderful themed paper packets and coordinating My Stickease® adhesive artwork. What you might not realize is that Studio J® online design software gives you the same fabulous paper kits to choose from, plus a boatload of coordinating My Stickease images—even more than are offered with the classic paper packets. Embellishing your layouts in Studio J is a breeze with so many choices! Just take a look at how Janelle Janish, a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant, spruced up her Cheer Camp layout.
Pattern: Imagine: Monologue™
Janelle used the Roxie paper kit and most of the pre-placed toggle accents, but then added several My Stickease images. Notice how the skillfully placed stars that act as photo corners, and the black polka dot photo corners help draw your eye to the pictures. The green My Stickease frame that surrounds a small photo does the same thing. Janelle also added two cute tags for some journaling and a scalloped border at the top of the left page. Nice personalization! And you'll be happy to know, all Studio J paper kits include a My Stickease coordinating alphabet so you can easily create a cute title, as did Janelle.
Kit: Roxie
My Stickease images are so easy to add to your Studio J layouts: simply drag and drop! You can also resize them, turn them different directions, and even "clip" the image by dragging in the edges of the image to give it a whole new look or make it appear as if it's partially tucked behind a photo or paper accent on the layout. Each time you create a Studio J layout, be sure to take a look at the many My Stickease images available for your kit. They may be just what you were searching for!
P.S. Janelle used the Imagine: Monologue pattern with the Roxie kit. For a totally different look using the same pattern, check out this post featuring the Monologue pattern with the Wings kit.

More than 40 employees representing 11 agencies are part of the effort. "We use a team to constantly review, evaluate and provide feedback to the vendor," said Enterprise Technology Services Project Manager Alison Redmond, who likens her role in the easyPay project to that of an orchestra conductor. "We are really a small group of people doing the work for a very large and complex system that requires constant attention to detail to ensure the program will work the way it's envisioned. It's like leading an orchestra, directing all the players, keeping them in time, and we all have to crescendo together," Redmond said.
Among those spending many hours recently in the review of design documents prepared by the vendor, Kronos, are the three project sponsors: Kevin Kelleher, director of Human Resources Division, Susan Friend, director of Accounting Division, and John Bruno, director of ETS.
Project sponsors have been meeting weekly since June to discuss progress and identify and address any obstacles to moving the project forward. A core project team meets three to five times per week and consists of Allen Wilson, Human Resources; Carol Munemura, ETS/Human Resources; Rebecca Robertson, Human Resources; Nikola Brooks, Transportation; and Rita McManus, Accounting.
These employees have spent many hours poring over the vendor's system design documents to ensure that Broward County requirements for Human Resources and Payroll are fully understood. "There are seven design documents with more than 500 pages of detail that has to be accurate and concise to ensure the Kronos system meets the needs of easyPay," Redmond explained.
A team of agency subject matter experts has also been weighing in on the project design. Its members include:
A change management team is responsible for planning and delivering communications about the project, and the impact it will have on agencies and employees throughout the organization. Participating on that team is Margaret Stapleton, director of the Office of Public Communications, Melissa Grimm, ERP project administrator; Catrina Stewart-Cosme, ETS training lead, and the project change management consultants from PKING Consulting, Inc. and Vantage Solutions, LLC.
Prior to its launch, the easyPay "symphony" will be played before a group who will receive training to instruct staff in their agency.
Payroll Liaisons have been involved in early meetings about the project, and provided valuable input, along with many other agency management staff, through meetings with the change management consultants. Agency payroll liaisons serve as the first and closest source of information for employees. Additional information sources include a website, broward.org/easyPay, which includes an orientation video with comments by County Administrator Bertha Henry and project sponsors, a special email box dedicated to questions about easyPay, email@example.com, and links to other information.
