Click below to watch our glove wash video on how to care for your gloves!
- Most Soaps contain Moisturizers which can harm gloves, West Coast Glove Soap is designed specifically for Gloves
- Sweat & Dirt Break down your gloves, without cleaning them they won't last as long
- Washing your gloves restores the grip, bringing back the grip
- Washing your gloves softens them and makes them more comfortable
- Dude the Smell... No one wants funky Gloves!
- West Coast Goalkeeping uses 100% 4mm German Pro Match Latex for all Gloves. Any Latex, even Pro is a naturally soft material and will show natural wear from use.
- Latex can show signs of wear from the very first use.... relax, its normal - the latex is sticky from the top to the bottom, it will continue to be usable until you have worn all latex off the palm.
- Latex is DESIGNED to wear, if it didn't show wear, then the palms are too 'dense or hard' and it would not be ideal for catching! West Coast is not liable for wear and tear on a glove, as it is intended for this.
- Contributing factors to increased wear can include: Technique (make a fist to get up off the ground), Playing Surface (Turf is much harder on gloves), Weather (summer months can be brutal), Care (Wash gloves regularly to increase life), were they dampened regularly and most importantly how often you play and train.
- Caring for your gloves and protecting the palms will greatly increase life, but sometimes unlucky Cuts, Dings, Knicks can be picked up from the turf or ground and are just a part of the game. The latex is still sticky and still usable.
- Negative Cut gloves will often wear faster due to the exposed finger design of the glove and their more snug nature compared to other cuts.
- How many pairs per season? The average Select/Premier keeper will usually go through 2-5 pairs per Year, while a Pro will go through 20-50, it all comes down to how often and what level you play along with how you treat the gloves.
- It is smart to have a Game pair and Practice pair - to be able to rotate, it will lessen the strain on a single pair and also provide backup in emergency.
30 Day 100% Satisfaction Money Back Guarantee, less shipping and handling.
- We want to make sure you select the right glove! If you are unhappy for any reason, return it to West Coast within 30 days.

Great job guys! That was a great news broadcast that captured all of what many of us aim to accomplish and provide "outsiders" with some powerful basics.
I have just discovered this site. I am a teacher from the UK and I specialise in emerging technologies. I have used Facebook – but this seems much more secure. I teach at a secondary school and want to introduce it school wide.
Can anyone help with examples?
mymediateacher, you should contact Jose Picardo who is a teacher in the UK, he has many examples on his blog, http://boxoftricks.net
In my opinion..i think that hands on experience and involvement with other students at a university is a much better learning environment; giving a person a better understanding of what they want to study.

Passive layer
The so-called passive layer is a thin oxide film that forms on the surface on non-corrosive steel when it comes into contact with oxygen. The chromium atoms of the steel subsequently form a thin and inert (hence, the name "passive layer") oxide film that prevents the oxidation from proceeding, thereby preventing the steel from corroding. The characteristic and durability of the passive layer depends primarily on the alloy composition of the steel.
Stainless steels react to oxide and form an oxide film to the same degree as normal steel. In normal steel, the oxygen reacts with the iron atoms existing in the steel; this reaction produces a porous surface that allows the reaction to proceed. This process can result in the complete "rusting out" of the work piece.
In non-corrosive steel, the oxygen reacts with chromium atoms, which are contained in the steel at a relatively high concentration, to form the passive layer on the surface.
There are two reasons for the formation of rust on "non-corrosive" stainless steels:
- the passive layer could not form, or
- the passive layer was damaged
The inability of the passive layer to form can only be prevented by a high degree of cleanliness. All processed surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of all residue. This applies, in particular, to any residue left behind by abrasives. For this reason, all abrasives suitable for processing stainless steel are free (mass portion < 0.01 per cent) of chloride, iron and sulphur.

Mission 18 - Demon's Den
Mission 18 – Demon's Den contains one Key, one Secret Door, and three Lost Souls.
Video Walkthrough
Of course there's some puzzles that need to be solved before facing Mundus. Don't forget to grab you collectibles and enjoy the dialogue between Dante and Vergil.
Collectible Locations[edit]
- Keys: 1
- Secret Doors: 1
- Lost Souls: 3
This mission requires you to start four generators, one in each tunnel. Seeing as how you're at main junction, the generators can started in a number of ways. If looking at the door Vergil is standing at, the tunnels are top right, bottom right, bottom left, and top left. Before going to any of the generator tunnels, go back to the starting tunnel. A Small Vital Star can be found there.
Top Right Tunnel[edit]
Head into the top right tunnel first. It would be sort of like two o'clock if the tunnels were on a clock's face. When you reach the first gap, look down for a road. Land on the road and follow it to the end to find an Argent Key, and the final key of the game. A few demonic shards should pop up before you can grab it. Quickly shoot them with the Revenant.
Jump down the hole the demonic shards popped out of. Follow the path down to the generator where a red ring will be located. Use the demon pull ability to kick start the generator, and bring a few demons with it. The demons that will appear include Stygians and a Butcher. Defeat them and return to the starting area.
Bottom Right Tunnel[edit]
Next, head to the bottom right tunnel, which would be at four o'clock. The path is pretty uneventful. Make it to the generator room, then look left. A Lost Soul is at the top of a few steps. Cut the red pod above before jumping to the soul, this way you won't hit the pod and fall into the abyss.
Jump over to the back of the generator to find the red ring needed for the demon pull. Like last time, starting the generator will bring a few demons. These demons include Stygians, Bathos, and a Witch. Defeat them and return to the starting area.
Top Left Tunnel[edit]
Next up is the top left tunnel, which would be at ten o'clock. Walk straight down the path until you find a Lost Soul on the right wall. Collect it, then Angel Boost to the next path. Before going into the generator room, unlock the last Secret Door of the game up the rock path. This Argent Door leads to the Secret Mission Colossal Triumph.
When ready, head to the generator room for another kick start. Starting it up will bring forth a Dreamrunner, a few Shielded Bathos, and a few Stygian. Defeat them and return to the starting area. If you don't know how: walk to the secret door and angel boost across the platforms. You should encounter three demon shards on the way.
Bottom Left Tunnel[edit]
The final tunnel is the bottom left tunnel, which is at eight o'clock. Walk down the path until you come to the edge of a cliff. Look to the upper right to find the final Lost Soul of the game. Double jump and Angel Boost up to it. After collecting it, jump down to the generator room.
Starting the generator will bring forth a Blood Rage and a Ghost Rage. Defeat them and return to the starting area. A few demon shards will try to stop you on your way.
Starting Room[edit]
After all the generators are set up, you'll need to fix the conduits. Use the Eryx to smash the red circles on the ground. Doing so will rotate the sigils into their correct spots, in turn lighting up the ovals on the floor. If rotating one circle misplaces a sigil near another circle, rotate the second circle until there's an empty space. An empty space means the sigil can't be moved. When the others are aligned, move it back into place. It sounds complicated, but it's extremely easy. Doing this will complete the mission.

Every so often (read: every day) we take a sweeping glance around the city and have to fight the urge to pinch ourselves. Sometimes, living in a spot as postcard perfect as S.F. feels like a total dream. The local ethos, the bustling culinary scene, all that innovation, and the abundance of kind-hearted peeps all add to what makes the City by the Bay extra special. We definitely catch Tony Bennett's drift — and our heart is firmly planted in this seaside town.
So, we thought it only appropriate, in the spirit of this week's holiday, to give thanks for one of our all-time favorite cities. Need a reason why S.F. is the best in the West (and way beyond)? We've got 29 of 'em. From the artisanal ice cream to, yes, even good ol' Karl the Fog, find out why we're completely smitten — and thankful — to call this place home.

Concern about math program
We are deeply concerned that Fairfield will quickly adopt a new math curriculum that we believe is contrary to the best interests of students, not in line with top performing schools, has no proven track record and is based on suspect research. Mansfield is the only other school system in the state using this curriculum.
This controversial 20-year-old curriculum, called College Preparatory Mathematics or CPM, has been implemented in Fairfield's eighth-grade algebra I and high school algebra classes this year without the benefit of a formal presentation to a curriculum committee, input from the community or presentation to the full Board of Education. If adopted, the curriculum will expand into secondary math classes and will be in place for a minimum of five years.
How did this happen? Under our current BOE practice, curriculum leaders develop curriculum. We believe that Fairfield adopted a de facto curriculum when we entered into a $13,000 contract with CPM that includes purchase of textbooks and four days of teacher training.
CPM's publisher provides textbooks and teacher guides that include lesson plans that are currently utilized in our schools. CPM calls its educational offerings "professional development and curriculum materials" (www.cpm.org). Contrary to a June 26, 2012, request by BOE member Sue Brand that the administration inform the board about pilot studies, the administration has chosen to call the new rollout of CPM an "instructional method" or "piloting a textbook," explaining that it did not need to notify the BOE because CPM is not a curriculum.
Concerned parents who have looked into CPM have found no evidence to support its success, including SAT results. Instead, parents found school systems that have adopted CPM have since rejected it. After a decade of using the CPM curriculum, many California schools decided to reject CPM altogether or offer an alternative traditional math track.
If your child had a choice to opt out of CPM, do you know enough about the program to make an educated decision?
CPM relies heavily on students discovering math concepts while working in groups of four rather than a more traditional teacher-led discovery and instruction with group work as a secondary component. Students "guess and check" their answers until they discover what they believe is the right answer. Teachers cannot provide answers. Students are expected to teach each other concepts and cannot move on until all students in the group understand. Students receive group grades. Individual grades are often lower, according to parents.
Ask for a choice. Attend the Board of Education meeting on Jan. 15.

Two businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their
soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few
shelves set up.
One said to the other, "I bet any minute now some senior is going to
walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling."
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a
curious senior walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice
asked, "What are you sellin' here?"
One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling a$$-holes."
Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "Must be doing well...
only two left."

In times of crisis and tragedy, Americans have turned to their president for leadership and words of reassurance. At a memorial service tonight in Tucson, President Obama will try to help the nation make sense of a tragic shooting that took the lives of six innocent victims.
On Monday Obama urged Americans to focus on the stories of bravery that came out of last Saturday's shooting, saying they speak to "the best of America, even in the face of such mindless violence."
"I think it's going to be important, I think, for the country as a whole, as well as the people of Arizona, to feel as if we are speaking directly to our sense of loss," the president said on Monday at the White House, "but also speaking to our hopes for the future and how out of this tragedy we can come together as a stronger nation."
Obama is expected to focus on the victims, heroes and those in Tucson that have been impacted by the tragedy.
Michael Waldman was the chief speechwriter for President Bill Clinton from 1995-1999. He said that when a president gives an address in the wake of a tragedy, it is important to speak to the grieving audience in front of him and the nation as a whole.
"Any president has to balance both comforting the immediate families and speaking to the country's values and how to make changes to make sure the things don't happen again," Waldman said.
Waldman said for a speech like the one the president will give tonight, less is more.
"This is not something where you're aiming to have words chiseled on the wall of the presidential library," he said.
Presidents can use tragedies and crises to bring the nation together, but there is also a risk to being seen as politicizing such events to further a political agenda.
Obama White House officials are well aware of the pitfalls of being seen as using a calamity such as the Tucson shootings to wage a political fight while the nation mourns and victims fight for their lives.
Several former presidential speechwriters – Democrats and Republicans - told ABC News that this speech should not be political and that it is first and foremost a eulogy.
"There's a time and a place for everything. The president, I hope, will say that violent words have no place in our society. The funeral is not necessarily the place to say it," Waldman said.
William McGurn, chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush from 2006-2008, emphatically said the president should not address the ongoing debate about political rhetoric and what role, if any, it had in the Tucson shootings.
"It's not appropriate," he said. "There are some things that make a problem worse."
Historian Douglas Brinkley said there is no need for a finger-pointing moment. "It's a national healing. [Obama's] got to be the healing agent of our nation," he said.
But, Waldman said, some Americans will expect Obama to speak out against violent language and heated political rhetoric. But that should come in a future address.
"There are always tragedies but where progress has come from the tragedies is when we don't just bemoan what's happened but point forward and toning down the language, toning down the violent rhetoric in politics, that's a good place to start," Waldman said.
Reagan Reassures Nation Reeling from Challenger Explosion
Tragic events in American history have prompted some of the most memorable presidential addresses, as leaders rose to the challenge of soothing a grieving nation.
On Jan. 28 1986, President Ronald Reagan was preparing to deliver his State of the Union address but a tragic event changed his plans.
Earlier that day, the nation watched in stunned horror as the space shuttle "Challenger" exploded on take-off, killing seven crew members including Christa McAuliffe, an astronaut and the first teacher in space.
With Americans reeling, Reagan scrapped his planned remarks and instead addressed the nation from the Oval Office. His remarks were short, compared to what his State of the Union would have been, but poignant and considered the gold standard of such speeches by those who wrote for presidents.
"The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives," Reagan said. "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"
Reagan was quoting from the poem, "High Flight," written by John Gillespie Magee, Jr, an aviator and poet who died serving in World War II.
Reagan wanted to comfort a shocked nation but he specifically wanted to speak to the nation's schoolchildren, many of whom were watching the shuttle launch live in their classrooms to see first teacher in space.
"And I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle's takeoff. I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons," Reagan said. "The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them."
Oklahoma City Bombing and Columbine Shootings: Key Moments in Clinton Presidency
President George W. Bush was never known for his oratory skills but he earned praise from the nation and pundits for remarks he made in the immediate wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Three days after the terrorist attacks, at a prayer service at the National Cathedral, Bush spoke about the heroes in New York, Washington and on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania and called upon the nation to stand together in a time of great sorrow and anger.
"It is said that adversity introduces us to ourselves. This is true of a nation as well. In this trial, we have been reminded, and the world has seen, that our fellow Americans are generous and kind, resourceful and brave," Bush said.
Later that day he delivered impromptu remarks that defined the early part of his presidency. Speaking to rescue workers on top of a pile of rubble at Ground Zero, Bush did exactly what several speechwriters say is critical in a time of crisis – bring the nation together and demonstrate leadership.
"I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you," Bush said to the workers. "And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
The Oklahoma City bombing came at a pivotal point in President Bill Clinton's first term. Democrats were swept out of power on Capitol Hill just six months before that and Clinton found himself defending his relevancy. Some say that Clinton's public handling of the tragedy perhaps turned around his presidency.
At a memorial service in Oklahoma City just days after the bombing, Clinton focused on the victims –everyday Americans who were killed simply because they went to work that day.
"This terrible sin took the lives of our American family, innocent children in that building only because their parents were trying to be good parents as well as good workers; citizens in the building going about their daily business; and many there who served the rest of us, who worked to help the elderly and the disabled, who worked to support our farmers and our veterans, who worked to enforce our laws and to protect us," he said.
Clinton tried to connect the victims to their community. "For so many of you, they were also neighbors and friends. You saw them at church, or the PTA meetings, at the civic clubs or the ball park," he said. "You know them in ways that all the rest of America could not."
McGurn said that in times of tragedy, the president represents the nation and tells those affected that America is with them.
That was a key theme in Clinton's remarks in Oklahoma City.
"You have lost too much but you have not lost everything, and you have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes," Clinton said.
Another key moment in Clinton's presidency was the shooting massacre at Columbine High School on April 19, 1999.
A month after the shootings, which killed 12 students and one teacher, Clinton traveled to Littleton, Colo., to meet with victims' families and address students and the community.
"When America looks at Jefferson County, many of us see a community not very different from our own," Clinton said on May 20, 1999. "We know if this can happen here, it can happen anywhere."
Shesol wrote those words for Clinton. He said there was a concerted attempt for the president to "relieve the community of the burden of the singular guilt."
"This was Colorado's tragedy, but also the nation's tragedy," Shesol said.
Historian Douglas Brinkley said Obama can do something similar tonight in Tucson.
"President Obama doesn't want to isolate Arizona from the rest of the country as if there are 49 states and this is the loser state," Brinkley told ABC News. "He needs to tell people of Arizona thank you for caring, thank you for your love. It makes the people of Tucson feel special."
ABC News' Jake Tapper contributed to this report.

DENVER (Reuters) - The Colorado city of Aurora has asked a judge presiding over the criminal case of last summer's movie theater massacre to lift a gag order barring police and emergency personnel from publicly discussing the rampage, a court filing made public on Wednesday showed.
Days after the July 20 shooting in which 12 died and dozens wounded, Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester imposed a court order prohibiting any party involved in the case, including law enforcement, from talking about it in the media.
Former graduate student James Holmes is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder stemming from the shooting spree at a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."
After a three-day preliminary hearing last week, Sylvester ruled the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence for Holmes to stand trial.
The city's motion said that because details of the crime were aired in open court, "the evidence has already been revealed to millions of people worldwide." It asked the judge to consider allowing the town's police officers and firefighters to talk about their response to the tragedy.
Holmes, 25, is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges in March. If he enters a not guilty plea, prosecutors have 60 days to decide whether to seek the death penalty.
Movie exhibitor Cinemark planned to formally reopen the multiplex to the public this coming weekend. It has said it is offering free movie passes to survivors, families of the victims and police and emergency personnel who were involved.

text: Cognitive development In 'Cognitive development' Cognitive developmentHow can schools get involved?CoursesPeoplePublications We are interested in how thinking and reasoning abilities develop, and we run experimental studies with young children. Current projects include children's theory of mind from 3-7 years; children's understanding of the representational nature of words and pictures; the developmental relationship between reasoning and executive functions; children's understanding of possibility and uncertainty, including handling ambiguity and counterfactual thinking. Members of the research team also have interests in adult cognition and neuropsychology. Our research addresses fundamental questions about the nature of children's thinking and reasoning. For example, when are children able to think about future events that could turn out in different ways? When are children able to think or act strategically? When do children learn that predicting someone else's behaviour requires us to take their point of view? It's not enough to just assume that they know, think or want the same things as us! The findings from this research help us understand the profound ways in which human children's abilities are different from those of other animals, and how, over years of development, children's thinking abilities become adult-like.

Wisconsin Badgers Football Tickets
Wisconsin Badgers Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Tremendous rushing offense and pass defense was Wisconsin's recipe for success in 2014. The formula worked to the tune of the second-best scoring defense in the Big Ten and a 10-2 regular season record. But the season ended in dramatic fashion, as before their 34-31 win over a good Auburn team in the Outback Bowl, they stunningly lost the Big Ten Championship to Ohio State 59-0. It was easily the most lopsided conference title game ever and a sheer embarrassment. But the rebound was impressive, and under a new coach they'll hope to raise the bar. Quarterback is a question mark as Joel Stave has the experience but not the consistency, and nobody else has the consistency. Alex Erickson is the unquestioned top wide receiver, but there's not much after that with experience there either. The Badgers also have to replace some guy named Melvin Gordon, who apparently rushed for 2,587 yards and 29 TDs last year. Four-star recruits Bradrick Shaw and Jordan Stevenson could be these replacements. Or they could not be. The offensive line is inexperienced too. There's a lot to work on here. Sounds like Wisconsin will be relying on the defense a bit more than they've been accustomed to. The Wisconsin Badgers operate under coach Paul Chryst at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. The golden age of UW football is now, as the team has made a bowl appearance in 13 straight and 20 of 22 seasons. 2014 was Wisconsin's sixth double-digit win season in their last eight. Gordon was no fluke and his on his way to NFL stardom as the first running back drafted in the first round in a few years. UW has sent 301 players to the NFL, including Lee Evans, JJ Watt, Chris Chambers, Russell Wilson, and Owen Daniels. The Badgers have rivalries with Minnesota, Iowa, and to a lesser degree, Nebraska. The Minnesota one is most heated as the longest-running rivalry in DI, and the Nebraska began in just 2011 when they joined the Big Ten. All of them are very tight record-wise. Wisconsin's had some notable non-conference games lately, and 2015 starts with one of their biggest in history in Alabama. The home schedule also includes Miami (OH), Troy, Hawaii, Iowa, Purdue, Rutgers, and Northwestern. Get your Badgers tickets from Gold Coast Tickets today!

France — The Project 1t4i squad had a busy weekend, highlighted by top-10 finishes and podium placings at major races in Belgium and France.
The top result of the weekend went to German Simon Geschke, who finished third in the Stage 2 time trial at Critérium International. Geschke rode his Felt DA1 to a podium placing, just 1 second behind stage winner Cadel Evans, in the middle stage of French stage race. Also riding well for Project 1t4i at Critérium International was Frenchman Alex Geniez, who finished second overall in the Young Rider classification.
Meanwhile, at the E3 Harelbeke, a March 23 WorldTour single-day road race in Belgium, sprinter John Degenkolb dashed to sixth place on his Felt F1 team bike. Facing wind, cobbles and some of the same climbs as the upcoming Tour of Flanders, Degenkolb's teammates helped deliver him to the front group, where he finished with the same time as the day's winner Tom Boonen.
This year's E3 race saw several big crashes, including one on the descent of the Boigneberg, which took down Project 1T4i rider Koen de Kort. The Dutchman fractured a rib and lacerated his knee, which required stitches. The injuries will keep de Kort sidelined for the upcoming Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix spring classics.

NXP's new energy-efficient processor features a single ARM Cortex-A7 core delivering speeds of up to 792 MHz with low-power operation and industrial temperature ranges. The new TX6ULL integrates 512MB DDR3 RAM and 4GB eMMC. On the latest low-cost module the connectivity options have been extended to include a camera interface and 8 UARTs.
Addressing security, plagiarism and manipulation issues on embedded devices, Ka-Ro now offers two secure boot services for all TXCOMs based on NXP's i.MX 6 and i.MX53 processors. Customers can order either dedicated secure boot-enabled TXCOMs directly from Ka-Ro which come programmed with their secure key. Alternatively Ka-Ro's support team assists developers individually and enables them to implement this secure foundation to create trusted devices which will only boot and connect with digitally signed authentic code.
Embedded computing power is very much in demand in a growing number of multimedia-centric devices. The Ka-Ro TX6 is ideally suited for target markets requiring high-end devices for powerful images and impressive video streaming creating connected devices in the following vertical markets.
Expanding the i.MX 6 series, the i.MX 6ULL is a high performance, ultraefficient processor family featuring an advanced implementation of a single ARM® Cortex®-A7 core, which operates at speeds up to 792 MHz.
(By combining the power-efficient processing capabilities of the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with bleedingedge 3D and 2D graphics, as well as high-definition video, the i.MX 6 provides a new level of multimedia performance to enable an unbounded next-generation user experience.)
For more information regarding i.MX 6ULL processors, see the NXP product page:
NXP i.MX 6ULL
4 GiB eMMC
Often, devices are required in different performance and price classes. This is where Ka-Ro's TX standard comes into its own. With one single hardware design embedded engineers can produce a range of pin- and software-compatible products. Ka-Ro introduced the TX CoM standard over six years ago. Until today, the Ka-Ro Starter Kit V has served as the unchanged development environment for all Ka-Ro TX modules underlining Ka-Ro's long-term product and family strategy. All the TX modules can be used on the Starter Kit V which enables great scalability and flexibility.
The philosophy behind Ka-Ro's TX CoM family is to reduce a CoM down to the absolute minimum of components. In doing so, application designers and engineers using Ka-Ro CoMs can achieve maximum flexibility. Ka-Ro TX CoM modules solely feature the processor plus memory and the power supply. Any additional functions can be added to the base board.
This focus on CoMs with a minimum number of components is on the one hand the key to very competitive pricing, on the other hand it enables Ka-Ro to ensure long-term availability. While processor manufacturers like NXP offer a long-term availability of 10 to 15 years, this must also apply to any further components integrated onto a module or these must be available via second sourcing and without any necessary software alterations. If these components are integrated on a module, as is the case with many other manufacturers, this long-term availability is endangered, or – from right from the start – not possible to guarantee.

DR. HOOK- Walk the walk: Arthritis event helps others in pain
Talk the talk means you have to walk the walk. The 2009 Arthritis Walk is the Arthritis Foundation's national event to take the pain out of arthritis.
Frankly, arthritis sucks. To be more refined, I'm sure the Queen of England would say that arthritis is a very unpleasant malady. (Hey, don't you just love, love, love that the Queen and First Lady Michelle Obama hugged? I wonder if they are BFFs and will text each other.)
Will you walk and raise money for the Arthritis Foundation?
I might strut vs. walk at Scott's Stadium on May 2. (I'll leave a memento there for Bono since U2 is coming in October. I love Bono! I hope he needs me when he's in town– for something benign, of course– let's say a dandruff attack.)
There are quite a few different types of arthritis, but the most common type that affects mega millions of Americans is osteoarthritis (OA). In OA, the cartilage wears down, and the joints don't have a cushion. So when bone touches bone, it equals "Ouch!"
The pain usually increases with more use of the joint. So pain is minimal at the beginning of they day but increases as the day goes on. And who likes pain– well, in general, if you know what I mean?
Though pain is not bad after waking up, there's often stiffness– a "gelling" that lasts usually less than 30 minutes. So "rise and shine" is more like, "rise and– oooh." It takes some time to work out the kinks in the OA joints. Theater sign is when a person is sitting for a while and then their OA knees get stiff. Thank God for intermission!
Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, which affects joints symmetrically, OA can often affect only one knee or one hand. The joints most affected by OA are the spine, fingers, toes, knees, and hips. Less commonly affected are the shoulder, TMJ, ankle, wrist, and sacroiliac.
The #1 risk factor for OA is— wait for it– age. One of my oldest patients joked to me, "Did you hear about the old lady who died of 'one thing after another'?" Getting older is great in many ways, but the joints can start to become arthritic. The average age of onset for OA is 40. About 80 percent of folks over 55 years old have OA, and after the age of 65 it's about— gulp— 97 percent.
Women seem to be affected by OA about 2.6 times more than men, and their OA progresses faster. Obesity is the biggest modifiable risk factor for OA. Think about it. More weight means more stress on the joints, especially the hips and knees.
But you know what? It seems like everything is a risk factor for development of OA: many sports, physically active occupations (especially shipyard workers, cotton workers, and carpenters), those who do a lot of prolonged knee bending (like The Bachelor?), history of injury to the joint, congenital or developmental joint disorders, osteonecrosis, gout, septic arthritis history, Paget's disease, diabetes, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, and– frostbite!
Genetics appear to play a significant role in OA. So if you "step on a crack and break your mother's back," she might ultimately get revenge through your DNA. OA of the spine, in particular the neck and lower back, can be really a pain. If the arthritis compresses the nerves, it can be disabling. OA is a major cause of disability and costs the country millions of dollars each year.
Okay, I'm ready to walk for arthritis. I hope you make me a Jerry Lewis and pledge at this site: arthritiswalkcharlottesville.kintera.org/dearjohn
Dr. Hook cracks a joke or two, but he's a renowned physician with a local practice. Email him with your questions.

Today's question: Propositions 98 and 99 both claim to offer protection from eminent domain. Which one (if either) would be better for Californians? All week, California Republican Assembly President Mike Spence and Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman debate the issues on the June 3 ballot.
Stop public seizure for private gain
Point: Mike Spence
Eric, I look forward to "dusting up" with you over the important issues facing voters on the June 3 primary ballot.
In G.K. Chesterton's novel, "The Napoleon of Notting Hill," Provost Adam Wayne -- while bravely resisting the dictates of the king -- says, "That which is large enough for the rich to covet is large enough for the poor to defend." While written more than 100 years ago, Wayne's words still ring through the halls of city councils and other government entities that take land through eminent domain and give it to private, politically connected businesses.
The churches, synagogues, small businesses and homes that governments try to seize aren't located in the most fashionable parts of town. Working-class citizens that just want to practice their religion, make a living and provide shelter for their families are the targets of eminent domain. Proposition 98 would protect them from abusive government agencies by prohibiting the use of eminent domain when the sought-after land is intended for private projects such as shopping centers and office buildings. Governments in California could use eminent domain only if they intend to build public-use projects such as schools, roads and parks. Proposition 98 would protect property owners from agencies that forcibly claim their land for public use and then sell it to a private developer. In those cases, Proposition 98 would force the agencies to offer it back to the original owner.
The initiative would also limit the future ability of governments to dictate the price for which owners can sell or lease their property. It would, however, allow rent-control levels in place as of last year to continue until a tenant moves out of a leased property.
Opponents say Californians don't need Proposition 98, but the track record of eminent-domain abuse by public agencies in California tells us otherwise. In Baldwin Park, one business owner was notified two years ago that the city wanted his property -- the location to which he moved after Baldwin Park seized his land in 1980. Long Beach's redevelopment agency threatened a small Filipino Baptist Church in 2006 to make way for new condos. Monrovia's City Council condemned an auto-repair shop in 2005 to build condos near a railroad track. The city of Arcadia threatened a small restaurant and a church in 2006 to help an auto dealer. Essentially, cities think their eminent-domain seizures for private development will make them more money by increasing their sales- and property-tax revenue, and developers get richer by building these new projects.
Eric, I find it ironic that the state Democratic Party -- which often claims to speak for working people -- sides with big government and politically connected developers of both parties on Propositions 98 and 99. Those who benefit from abusing eminent domain are supporting Proposition 99. The respected, nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office sums up Proposition 99 pretty nicely: "This measure would not change significantly current government land acquisition practices."
The Virginia Declaration of Rights, one of the precursors to the Declaration of Independence, said, "All men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."
Citizens have an inherent right to own and manage private property. Only the protection of Proposition 98 can stop the covetousness of the rich toward the land of the "poor."
Mike Spence is president of the California Republican Assembly and writes for RedCounty.com and FlashReport.org.
Prop. 98 unites Democrats and Republicans against it
Counterpoint: Eric C. Bauman
Mike, one cannot "dust up" if there is no dust. Fortunately for this installment, Proposition 98 kicks up a whole bunch of dust.
I think we can all agree that our homes should not being taken from us by the government except in the rarest of circumstances -- circumstances that benefit the public at large, not politically connected individuals or businesses.
If Proposition 98 were truly about protecting our homes from government "taking," a massive coalition of Republicans and Democrats, business groups and labor unions, enviros and builders, liberal-leaning newspapers like The Times and conservative-leaning newspapers like the San Diego Union Tribune would come together as one in support. After all, each of us shares the belief that one's home is one's castle, the last refuge from the ever-encroaching world in which we live and work.
Based on the legislative nirvana you've described, Mike, I would think Proposition 98 would cause a huge coalescence of groups, leaders and ordinary folks around this issue. And in fact, these groups have come together -- in opposition,
A huge, diverse coalition of people and groups rarely seen working together in California, representing a broad cross section of our state, has come together to oppose Proposition 98. These folks share the belief that the initiative is a fraud -- the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing -- brought to us by greedy apartment and mobile-home-park owners who want to end protections for renters, and by other special interests that hope to limit zoning rules that protect our air and water quality.
When last do you recall seeing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger stand with Sen. Barbara Boxer; former Gov. Pete Wilson stand with Sen. Dianne Feinstein; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stand with Rep. George Radanovich; the California Chamber of Commerce join the California Labor Federation; the California League of Conservation voters join the California Building Industry Assn.? Even the editorial boards of The Times and the San Diego Union Tribune have opined against Proposition 98. When a magnum coalition such as this comes together, it usually signals a political overreach by egocentric special interests, and that's exactly what we have here. Proposition 98 is not about correcting an errant U.S. Supreme Court ruling; it is about fulfilling the selfish desires of a privileged few.
As The Times said in editorializing against Proposition 98: "Now we have another initiative that masquerades as a simple correction to the notorious Kelo ruling, but really carries the long-standing agenda of interests that want to extinguish rent control and block water and air quality laws." In addition to phasing out rent control, Proposition 98 would jeopardize dozens of laws that protect renters, such as those that require the fair return of rental deposits and a 60-day notice before forcing tenants out of their homes. The Supreme Court's 2005 decision in Kelo vs. New London is something that California voters should rightfully be worried about. Proposition 99 is simpler, cleaner and much more focused on protecting homeowners against eminent-domain abuse.
Mike, at the end of the day, Proposition 98 is surrounded by "dust," most of which is designed to cover up the real effects of this deceptive scheme on everyday Californians.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Center is Second in the Country, Joining Original in Washington Headquarters
LOS ANGELES - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today it has launched a Requester Service Center at the federal agency's Los Angeles District Office (LADO).
The center will provide customer service to people seeking information from the EEOC under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or Section 83 of the EEOC's Compliance Manual--the special disclosure rules by which aggrieved parties, charging parties, respondents and their attorneys may access their own charge files after the Commission has completed its proceedings. The service center will also respond to other persons seeking disclosure of charge files and other records. The center will operate a multilingual telephone line 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and staff will respond to telephone calls and e-mail messages during the LADO's regular business hours. The center can be reached at (877) 403-8609 or email@example.com.
The original EEOC Requester Service Center, which continues to function, opened in 2005 in the EEOC's Office of Legal Counsel at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C. to provide customer service to FOIA requesters and other persons
seeking information concerning FOIA. It can be reached at (202) 663-4500 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Both centers may also be reached toll-free at
(877) 869-1802.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Additional information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

As laptops have become more advanced so the need for increased power consumption and longevity has increased for mobile system users. On many occasions, it can come down to mobility over performance and battery life. This article provides information on how to improve your laptop battery's performance and lifespan. The article also expands to give some helpful tips and information on how to diagnose and test your battery health and performance.
Dell laptops come with one of two kinds of batteries:
A swappable battery is made of lithium-ion cells and you can easily remove and replace it with a fully charged spare battery when you run out of power. This battery is a great option for those who need to stay up and running no matter where you are.
A built-in battery is usually made of lithium-ion polymer and is designed to fit the non-traditional shapes of thin and light laptops, such as the XPS and Inspiron 7000 series. These batteries are not easily removable and will need trained technicians to replace it. This battery is a great option if you want to pack light.
Battery Life:
Is how long your battery will last between charges. Battery life is based on a battery's capacity or the number of cells or watt-hours (Wh) of a battery. The general rule is that the more cells or the higher the watt-hours powering the same laptop under the same operating conditions, the longer the battery will last when unplugged from an outlet.
|Battery Capacity
|Battery Life
|Choose if you want
|Large (9 cell)
|90 Wh
|Longer battery life and longer battery pack lifecycle.
|Standard (6 cell)
|48-60 Wh
|Lighter weight
Battery Pack Lifecycle:
Is how often a battery can be recharged before its charge capacity starts to degrade (for example, when a fully charged battery is reduced to 60 percent of the original battery charge capacity). This reduction of charge capacity, in turn, leads to a significantly reduced battery life. Reduced charge capacity is normal on all rechargeable batteries.
A lower capacity battery will wear out faster than a higher capacity battery because you have to charge it more often. Typically, you'll notice reduced battery life after 18-24 months. If you're a power user, you may notice reduced battery life sooner than 18 months.
Battery size:
Large capacity batteries are great for extra battery life, but more cells and higher watt-hours also mean that the battery size and weight will increase.
When buying a replacement battery, make sure that you consider whether longer battery life or lighter weight best fits your mobile style.
The easiest way to get the best battery life out of your Dell laptop is to select one of the pre-configured power plans. The pre-configured power plans automatically adjust key settings that can have a significant impact on battery life, such as reducing screen brightness or dimming the display when you are not actively using your laptop.
To extend battery life as long as possible during a working session
Windows 10 has a built-in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
How to turn on Battery Saver mode
Figure 1: Click on the Action Center icon within the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
Figure 2: If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
Battery Saver
Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.
Figure 3: Turn Battery Saver On or Off
Figure 4: Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links
Within the Battery use settings, you will be able to view battery use across multiple applications over a selected period. You can also change settings for background applications that may be using up battery power.
Figure 5: Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
Figure 6: Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver feature.
Battery Saver Settings provides further customization of the feature:
Leaving your laptop plugged in all the time or never allowing your battery to fully charge when it's plugged in can reduce your battery's charge capacity and shorten its lifecycle. However, Dell has introduced two new battery charge settings, Dell Desktop Mode and Dell Longevity Mode, that help extend a laptop's battery pack lifecycle.
Desktop Mode monitors the charge status of the laptop battery, and if it spends most of the time at 100 percent charge while connected to the power adapter, Desktop Mode will automatically adjust the charge levels of the battery. The adjustments include regularly allowing the battery to discharge or drain, even while plugged in. The benefits help slow the reduction of charge capacity over time and may even decrease the need to purchase a replacement battery during the life of your laptop.
To turn on Desktop Mode in Microsoft Windows
Longevity Mode monitors the charging and discharging behavior of your battery. If you're frequently connecting and disconnecting your laptop to a power source without allowing the battery to charge fully, Longevity Mode will moderate the extent to which your battery charges to protect your laptop battery health.

For computers with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (you will have to go to the desktop in Widows 8), right-click the battery icon in the lower right-hand corner, click Dell Extended Battery Life Options, if that is not an option proceed to Step iv.
Click the Battery Health tab.
Make note of the message on the page, if anything other than "Your battery is performing normally", the battery should be replaced.
Check the Battery Health in the BIOS, for more information refers to the Check the Battery Health in the BIOS section. Make note of the message on the BIOS screen under General or the Advanced tab, when the battery shows as "Normal" or "This battery is performing normally", then the battery is performing as it should.
Dell notebooks also include a built-in diagnostics application, called ePSA. For information on how to access the ePSA application, refer to Dell Knowledgebase article, Resolve Hardware Issues Using ePSA or PSA Diagnostics and Guide to Error Codes. Once in the ePSA application select the battery diagnostics.
If you find that your newly purchased laptop battery shows a significant drop in capacity via testing APP, you can recover that by performing several charging and discharging cycles.
Detailed steps described below:
The more times the above steps are performed the greater chance the battery capacity % will recover.
When you see a decrease in capacity, in the best-case scenario, you can reduce the loss to 0.9%.

But my thoughts aren't quite on the holidays yet. Last week, news outlets everywhere reported on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
I remember thinking "Eweh" several years ago when I heard about the man who inadvertently dropped his dentures in the toilet but was able to retrieve them a few days later at Cynthiana's Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Why would you want those suckers back?
Oh the places they've traveled! The last place they would travel would be the waste water treatment plant as far as I would have been concerned.
No. He popped those babies into some Polident and right back onto his gums they nestled.

On Tuesday, April 12, thousands of women from across the United States will join in a national day of action against unfair pay called Equal Pay Day. April is symbolic of the point into the new year that a woman must work in order to earn the wages paid to a man in the previous year. On a national level, women are paid only 78 cents for every dollar a man is paid, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So, because women earn less, we must work longer for the same pay.

The holiday season may not be the time of year that most people think about energy conservation and recycling. Let's face it. Those are the hot topics we reserve for Earth Day, not Christmas.

Welding is one of the flashiest, pun intended, programs at Kentucky Tech. Like Thor summoning lightning, there is something very exciting about harnessing electricity to melt two pieces of metal together. It's also very useful.

A USDA meteorologist says drought is affecting less of the nation and reducing the effect of recent flooding.
By Bob Ellison, USDA
Most of the Midwestern flooding has peaked outside of the northern Red River Valley, according to USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey, who adds that more rain on the way does not mean more flooding.
"Even though we have a new storm that's starting to affect the region it doesn't look like rainfall totals will be quite enough to bring a whole new round of flooding," Rippey says. "Yes, we'll see some localized flooding developing in some of the lowland areas, but no more big flooding like what we saw in late April."
The flooding was not as bad as it could have been, which Rippey says was due in part to the drought.
"The fact that we have subsoil moisture that's still on the short side across a lot of areas like Iowa and Minnesota is helping to soak up some of the moisture and certainly has minimized the flooding. It could have been a lot worse if we'd had a wet winter and early spring."
And as for the drought, Rippey says the cool, wet spring reduced drought-affected areas.
"If you look at the entire country, you still see about 47% of the country in drought, but almost all of that area is now focused across the Great Plains and the West."
So does the cool, wet spring mean a cool, wet summer?
"Without El Nino or La Nina it's a very tough summer to forecast," Rippey say. "Right now we're kind of hanging the forecast on the North Atlantic block, and if it persists look for this cool, wet weather pattern to break down and we'll trend into a hotter, drier June and July, which would not be favorable for crops because then we would have late planting compounded with the fact that we'd be heading into a hotter, drier summer."

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
Sample app for demonstrating continuous integration and deployment of a multi-container Docker app to Azure Container Service
This repository contains a sample Azure multi-container Docker application.
- service-a: Angular.js sample application with Node.js backend
- service-b: ASP .NET Core sample service
Run application locally
First, compile the ASP .NET Core application code. This uses a container to isolate build dependencies that is also used by VSTS for continuous integration:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ci.build.yml run ci-build
(On Windows, you currently need to pass the -d flag to docker-compose run and poll the container to determine when it has completed).
Now build Docker images and run the services:
docker-compose up --build
The frontend service (service-a) will be available at http://localhost:8080.

The students were mesmerized by Crystal Garrett's beauty, but it was her words that will probably have the greatest impact.
Garrett, the reigning Miss South Carolina, told students at Clinton Elementary School on Wednesday how people didn't think she would have a chance to make it this far.
A Columbia native, Garrett was diagnosed with allergy-induced asthma when she was 3. Doctors didn't expect her to live to see 21.

Australia has accused East Timor of making "frankly, offensive" remarks before the International Court of Justice about Attorney-General George Brandis, as its lawyers suggested the tiny nation may have encouraged the commitment of a serious crime here.
The heated testimony to the United Nations pre-eminent judicial body on Tuesday came as East Timor seeks to have legal documents seized by ASIO last month returned.
The documents include correspondence between East Timor's lawyers and an outline of its legal strategy relating to a concurrent international arbitration where the fledgling nation is seeking to have a treaty it signed with Australia over $40 billion in oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea declared invalid.
The key witness for East Timor in the arbitration is a former Australian Secret Intelligence Service operative who is alleging Australia bugged East Timor during negotiations over the treaty in 2004 and gained an unfair advantage. The ex-agent's office was raided along with the office of East Timor's Australian lawyer Bernard Collaery on December 3.
Senator Brandis has given multiple undertakings to the ICJ that the documents would not be read by himself, nor anyone representing Australia in the contentious arbitration, bolstered by a new vow on Tuesday that the documents would not be passed to any individual or agency that wasn't directly involved in national security or law enforcement.
East Timor's contention on Monday that Senator Brandis' undertakings may not be enforced and had to be treated cautiously was described by John Reid, Australia's agent at the ICJ, as "frankly offensive".
East Timor's "inflammatory" submissions to the court had "impugned the integrity of the attorney-general of Australia", he said.
Moreover, the remark from East Timor's counsel (and former principal legal adviser to Australia's department of foreign affairs) Sir Elihu Lauterpacht that Australia's standards as a good international citizen were slipping had "wounded" and was without foundation.
East Timor is basing its legal case on the principle that the legal documents, laptops and USB stick confiscated by ASIO were its sovereign property. This was described by another Australian representative before the ICJ, Bill Campbell QC, as "beyond credulity" that, if accepted, would rewrite international law to extend a nation state's right of sovereignty into other nation states.
Australia argues the raids were justified because the alleged disclosure of an intelligence operation to a foreign country by the ASIS agent was a serious criminal offence under Australian law. As such, legal professional privilege did not apply to the material seized and the raids were in accordance with both domestic and international law.
Indeed, Australia's solicitor-general Justin Gleeson - who also spoke at the ICJ - went as far as saying that East Timor "may be encouraging the commitment of that crime".
The final speaker in Australia's heavyweight legal team was James Crawford, a professor of international law at the University of Cambridge.
He queried why the matter was being heard by the ICJ at all. He said East Timor's concerns about the raids and demands for the return of its documents could have been ruled upon in the arbitration case on the Timor Sea Treaty, which is also being heard at the Hague.
He noted that the arbitration was being held behind closed doors while the ICJ conducted public hearings, which are livestreamed on its website.
Professor Crawford said that, by requesting the matter be heard by the ICJ, East Timor was seeking to "'maximise the opportunity for publicity and comment prejudicial to Australia".
Final oral submissions to the court will be made on Wednesday.
