Albert Maverick is the President and CEO of Apollon Media, the company responsible for Hero TV and sponsor for Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr.. He appears to have a great deal of influence as a result, and the city's mayor often turns to him for advice.
He is a protagonist/antagonist of the entire series.
When Maverick first started Hero TV, people still feared and disliked the NEXTs despite good deeds they committed, and the only ones who would support him were Barnaby and Emily Brooks - who were longtime friends of his. They helped him by using their robotics research to construct the hero suits used on the show. In order to make the show more popular and garner more support, he thought of ways to make the heroes more likable to the public to boost ratings. As a result, Maverick joined forces with an organization known as Ouroboros and began staging flashy crimes for the heroes to thwart on live television. The Brooks eventually discovered that he was using the fruits of their research to supply criminals with weapons, and confronted him about it. When they tried to act on their intentions to tell the police, Maverick shot and killed them with his pistol.
Then, spotting the young Barnaby Jr. peeking at the scene through a door crack, he used his NEXT powers to alter the boy's memory of the event. Maverick also seems to have done the same to Samantha, as she believed that she was sick that day when she had actually been out with Barnaby Jr. the entire time. Maverick replaced her with himself in Barnaby Jr.'s memories in order to provide himself a foolproof alibi. Maverick subsequently took Barnaby Jr. in and raised him to be a hero and future star for Hero TV.
Jake Martinez and a City Held CaptiveEdit
Maverick, along with the CEOs of the other major Sternbild companies, meets with the mayor when Ouroboros holds the city hostage and demands Jake's release from prison. While the mayor panics and cannot think of a suitable course of action, it is Maverick who takes control of the situation and states that they will have to answer to Ouroboros' demands in order to protect the city. He later convinces Barnaby to tell his story over a live broadcast in order to improve the public's waning belief in heroes.
Mistaken MemoriesEdit
After his memories start to unravel and he subsequently has an argument with Kotetsu, Barnaby ends up turning to Maverick for support. He tells Maverick about recently-acquired information that disproves the theory of Jake being his parents' killer. During their conversation, Barnaby receives a phone call from Samantha, his childhood nanny, whose discovery of a photograph from the day of the murder reveals that Barnaby had been with her that entire day - and not Maverick. When confronted about the contradiction, Maverick admits to having killed the Brooks and reveals the entire story behind their murder. With Barnaby paralyzed thanks to a drug which had been discretely added to his drink, Maverick uses his NEXT abilities to once again alter Barnaby's memories: first to reinstate Jake as the Brooks' killer, and then to erase any connection between Wild Tiger and Kotetsu. He subsequently carts Barnaby off to a secluded vacation home to ensure the memory manipulation has maximum effect.
With Barnaby taken care of, Maverick turns his attention to the only other person who knows that Jake wasn't the Brook's killer: Kotetsu. He invites the latter to his office and attempts to drug and alter Kotetsu's memories as well, only to be prevented from doing so by a string of coincidences. He ultimately never gets the opportunity to alter Kotetsu's memories, as the latter leaves following a phone call from Samantha without ever taking a sip of his drink. In order to stall Kotetsu from meeting with Samantha, Maverick makes a call in order to stage a bombing elsewhere in the city. With Kotetsu out saving people, Maverick's subordinates intercept and kidnap Samantha. When Kotetsu returns to find that Samantha has already left, he opts to visit her house in the hopes of running into her, and calls Maverick to inform him as such.
As a result, Maverick changes his original plan and instead decides to kill Samantha and frame Kotetsu for her murder. While Kotetsu waits at Samantha's house, Maverick calls together the other heroes, Agnes, Saito and Lloyds to announce an upcoming Hero TV event. In reality, however, the announcement is merely a ruse to bring together everyone who knows Wild Tiger's identity. Maverick drugs everyone in attendance and alters their memories, erasing any connection between Wild Tiger and Kotetsu. He then releases (fake) information surrounding Samantha's murder, labeling Kotetsu a homicidal NEXT. The other heroes are subsequently sent to capture him on live TV, and an android is used as Wild Tiger's replacement.
While Kotetsu is off trying to get Barnaby to remember him and Barnaby is busy trying to kill the man he believes to be Samantha's murderer, Maverick uses the Wild Tiger android to incapacitate the other heroes (and Wild Tiger's daughter), whose memories have already been restored. Once Barnaby's memory is restored, Maverick decides to eliminate the pair - as neither is of any further use to him. Using Blue Rose's communicator, he contacts the pair and informs them that Kaede and the other heroes have all been captured. He then tells Kotetsu and Barnaby to meet him at Justice Tower.
Once they arrive, Maverick reveals that he has been backing Rotwang's robotics research and intends to replace the heroes with androids.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Maverick is a NEXT who has the ability to manipulate a subject's memories and alter them. While the full capability of his power is unknown, he only appears able to alter existing memories and not create entirely new ones. Rather, his power acts akin to sealing away real memories or layering similar ones on top. As Maverick mentioned with the picture of Samantha and Barnaby on Christmas, even the slightest bit of contradiction will cause the true memory to surface.

Today's cuppa: Tetley British Blend tea
Recently, I had to do a lot of research for a syndicated feature story on TLC's coverage of the upcoming royal wedding of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton, scheduled for the morning of Friday, April 29.
I had done royal weddings before, having gotten up with the rest of the East Coast to watch Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer tie the knot in July, 1981. (As I'm now on the West Coast, I'll let the DVR do the work for this one).
Also, I had to watch TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" because of interviewing Randy Fenoli, a wedding-dress designer and consultant who works at Kleinfeld Bridal, the New York City bridal salon featured in the show.
The world of high-end bridal fashion is a new area for me, and I did find myself yelling at the television because mothers who really need to go on TLC's "What Not to Wear" or get some therapy were making life miserable for their poor daughters.
On the other hand, some of the brides, while not exactly "Bridezillas," were no tiptoe through the tulips either.
Then I trolled the Internet to look at the collections of the British bridal designers Fenoli mentioned, and was treated to an array of dresses that ranged from heartbreakingly gorgeous to, yeah, only if I was marrying the King of the Universe, and he paid me extra to wear that (and there were NO pictures).
So, here's a bit of my conversation with Fenoli about Diana's princess dress, the sleeve issue, and how he thinks all brides can be beautiful.
On Diana's dress (pictured above):
Yes, it was very poufy. It was very '80s; it was very over the top. That's what was happening right then. She was much younger than Kate is … I find that more youthful girls go with poufier dresses, and the more mature the woman, they go for a little sleeker, more understated look, generally speaking. Princess Diana was so beautiful, but her dress overpowered her.
On why the dress looked like crumpled Kleenex when she came out of the carriage:
That's also because it was made of a silk taffeta, which does wrinkle fairly easily. Satin holds up a little better, silk satin. Lace, of course, is really great if you're worried about wrinkles.
On why so many bridal gowns are sleeveless or even strapless:
Let me tell you why. First of all, a wedding gown is one of the most fitted garments you'll ever wear. And when you have a fitted garment, and you have a fitted sleeve, it really restricts your movement. Girls today want to throw up their bouquets; they want to throw their arms up and dance at their wedding. They don't want to be restricted.
I have so many girls come in, and they say, "I want a sleeve," and then they try one on, and they realize that they're not really able to raise their arms much higher than their shoulders. Then they opt for a strapless dress.
When you look at a strapless dress, it's just such a clean, beautiful look. It shows off a woman's collarbone; it lengthens her neck; it really highlights her face and just opens her up visually.
On compromising by adding a shrug or a bolero jacket to a strapless dress:
For me, I absolutely would recommend a bolero or a shrug, because that's going to allow you the coverage, and it's going to allow you movement, just like a man's jacket gives him movement, because it's not attached all the way down. It's not so fitted at the waist that you can't raise your arms.
On why the bride and Fenoli often see two very different images in the mirror:
It's interesting how they see themselves, and how we see them as outsiders. Sometimes, it's very difficult for me, because no matter what I see on the outside, I have to step away sometimes, because how a woman sees herself in the mirror, I can't control that.
Almost every single human being has some kind of body-image issues that they're trying to overcome or deal with or manage. They may think their hips are wide, and I'm thinking, "OK, I see no hips." Or they think they have broad shoulders, and I'm like, "I don't know what they're talking about."
It's amazing, body dysmorphic disorder. It absolutely is widespread. The magazines today, all the models are super skinny, and they're airbrushed to be even skinner.
On what Fenoli plans to do about that in the bridal realm:
I just finished writing my book, entitled, "It's All About the Dress." It's published by Hachette, and it's going to be out on the bookstands on Nov. 1. I did not use any models in my book. I used only real brides, from size 2 to size 22, and ages in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. I wanted to show women that you can look like a model at any size, at any age.
Wait until this book comes out. It's going to change, I hope, people's perception of beauty, because there's beauty in every bride, and I show it. It's right there in front of you. I'm so excited. I just have the acknowledgement page to write, and we're basically done.
On why you will never know what a dress — or most any piece of clothing — will look like on you unless you put in on you:
You must try it on, because every single body is different, and every single dress is cut different. You never know until you try that dress on, what it's going to look like.

Fat chance on that
Fat chance on that |
I trust you mean the taunting cuz you know I will pass you. |
I now have 2 X2s on this, watch me fly!
Wow, a project where we can actually outproduce outlnder, very rare
Shut up, tadpole! *3 Stooges slap* |
*insert gratuitous lead balloon analogy here* |
Agent GleanerC's hidden camera photo verification that leavitron has, in fact, watched (and stood under) a flying lead balloon! |
I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of a true lead balloon, or Borg cube prototype. |
20k and decreasing, Beyond!
Less than 35k to 1/2 mil. tick, tick, tick, TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK! |
9800 and closing. |
*cue Jaws theme* |
Nice job Leavitron! Looks like you're going to nip me at the wire. But can you stay ahead?
Sounds like "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time" to me. Uhh... I was planning to move on once my score on Free-DC stats hits 500k. I do have a noteworthy backlog of Pending, though, so if you break off as well I dare say I will hold the lead. EDIT: Planning to finish off my million in POEM. Then probably try something new. |
Dang, wish I'd thought of that! |
Looks like when we are done here we will have a solid million cushion over L'AF. I trust this is good - for now.
Congrats on the fly by! I need to keep going on this project so I'll be able to taunt again |
It was your cup that was poisoned all along! Wrong. They both were. But how did you survive? I spent the last few years building up an immunity to Iocaine powder^H^H^H Beyond's taunts. |
Boogie and I will be back eventually to go for our 1 million.... to help pad the teams stats a bit.
Leavitron, check the Free-DC stats. You're the top guy in the project today
Nice work Leav!
Yeah, saw that. But it's only cuz Whiz slowed down and you can't keep up! |
Taunting becomes you, as does gloating I'm about 2 hours late, the story of my life... Wonder who was in that #1 spot? |
1) whizbang 3,991,472.00 Noone at all. |
Ha, you guys have nothing on me! My 2 X2s are up and running, burning up the ether, pumping out WUs all day. Ya can't touch this!!
But, but, but.... You started it! |
Noone here, just checking in... Good job everyone! Looks like my pending is going to carry me just over 4 mil. Since I'm apparently third in the 5 mil category, I will come back and run another million in the next few months, otherwise I think we've got this wrapped up for some time to come. Beyond and Leav, I love a good old-fashioned brawl, right down to the wire |
Whew, this was 2 days overdue to be locked.
Hanging in there at 1st BUMP! http://stats.free-dc.org/stats...ge=teams&proj=sztaki |
All you long time SZTAKI watchers, you need to pull out a chair and sit down for this news. Yes, after what seems like years of prodding SZTAKI has updated to a more recent version of the BOINC server software and now 64bit computers work on the project. They can DL, crunch and actually return the WUs. Will wonders never cease? Just more proof that there's no stability in the multiverse
Which means we'll now have to watch it more closely. That lack of 64 bit support discouraged more than a few from ever taking up the project.
True, but it also means I will get my 1 meeellion cobbles.
And we'll need every bit of it if this piques other teams' interest. I'm going to start adding a few K per day again, just to keep our buffer. |
The validator has been toast since the update, so it'll be interesting to see who's doing what once it goes back up.
I've got 40K in pending so far. |
Exciting... and good news about 64bit. Puts this project back on the list after WCG and Enigma.
Seems the validator is fixed and yes 64bit machines now work
Looks like SZTAKI needed an anti-lock bump. The website was down today. The way things have been going at the vault lately, "someone" will probably ask for it to be removed tomorrow
Oh no... Was going to hit this project next.

This is my first post here. And sadly, I'll have to start this post with an apology for how lost I'm going to sound. And probably for at least half a dozen naive-sounding statements/beliefs about skiing. Please bear with me!
I've read at least 50+ threads here (not to mention other reviews + forums), including the long Blizzard Bonafide review and all the pages/comments associated with it. But I need some serious help focusing in on where to start looking. And I've been off the mountain for so long it's both sad and embarrassing. I'll try to provide as much information as possible-- and please know that I really appreciate you taking the time to help a gear-noob out.
I'm 5' 10", ~150 lbs, 29 years old, pretty lanky though athletic. I think I'm quite a bit lighter than many of the posters here, so I have a hard time extending other posts with taller/heavier folks down to my size. I participate in a lot of sports recreationally.
I've been skiing since I was 6 years old, every year, until the last 5 or so during which I've been on an extended hiatus. This hiatus is what I'm trying to balance against what once was a lot of experience. I learned in the East. I've skied dozens of mountains in VT/NY/MA (Jay Peak was definitely my favorite; Stowe was pretty damn fun). I liked to ski hard and fast (my biggest equipment problem in the past-- albeit with mediocre equipment-- was being able to snap out of bindings when it shouldn't happen) and aggressively, and, at least during extensive East Coast skiing, I never encountered a route or glade that gave me any trouble at speed-- but know for sure I wasn't the most technical person on the slopes. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more technical/snobby skiers sneered, though I could hang with all but one of my friends who raced during high school.
Right before I stopped skiing, I lived in San Francisco and had a friend whose parents owned a house literally at the base of Alpine Meadows in Tahoe. I used my mediocre equipment out there for a while-- though I really suffered off piste, couldn't hang with the big (at least at that time) floaty skis in the powder (not to mention I'm sure I looked silly on my toothpicks), and would be exhausted by the bottom from having to work so hard to not get bogged down off piste. That said, except for the deeper powder, nothing else at Alpine was trouble for me to take at full speed. And I loved the snow, though it was slower than back East.
Previous equipment:
I basically rented while I was growing up. I don't know what I rented, but it probably wasn't very good. This was pre-parabolic. Back around the late late 1990s (I think, maybe 1999) I had a pair of K2 IV somethings, with that stupid piezo-electric gimmick. I can't tell you what boots/bindings. But it probably wasn't that pretty. I don't think the stuff was very good, and even after having the bindings tightened up a few times, I still occasionally had problems with bindings letting go at bomb-down-the-mountain speeds... on harder, gristly, packed down stuff. Not good. It all felt sloppy at speed, though I guess I was used to it.
Where/what I will ski:
I just moved to Munich, Germany. So it's going to be mostly German/Austria Alps (Switzerland/France if I'm lucky). I don't entirely know what to expect from the conditions, but from what I've seen, it'll be more like West Coast USA than East Coast. Given the choice I prefer steep, un-groomed stuff, on and off piste. I'm sure I'll still go fast and aggressive. I like bowls and trees, but I also enjoy some bumps (10%) and aggressive, hard packed routes (10-20%).
I'm looking for a 1 ski solution, mainly for financial reasons, but also because I want to keep it simple. I don't expect to touch anything below a diamond, I don't expect to really touch any parks/features (not very good at it; not so much my thing; but sure, I'll go off a jump or two and maybe a rail), and while I like powder, I'm sure I won't ski enough of the big deep stuff to get something dedicated for that front.
After reading quite a bit, my gut says to look at the various 98 options, sticking with something that still has some traditional camber because I'll still ski aggressive/fast down packed and unpacked powder, and perhaps some early lift/small rocker (which I have never tried) for those times in the deeper stuff, trees, and bumps. If I had to guess, it'd be the Bonafide at 173 or 180 (not sure what I need!), but then I wonder: should I be looking at some of the 88 options instead?
Am I pointed in the total wrong direction-- at the beginning of my search?

David Rothman links to a comprehensive review of the use of different Web 2.0 tools in medicine in the Medical Journal of Australia: The effect of Web 2.0 on the future of medical practice and education: Darwikinian evolution or folksonomic revolution?
In the section about blogs, the authors mention this web site along with Dean Guistini's UBC Academic Search — Google Scholar Blog, David's blog, and ScienceRoll.
The article provides a good overview of most of the basics of what I call the 6 axes of medical education in Web 2.0 style:
Unfortunately, the review failed to mention AskDrWiki which is, in my opinion at least, one of the best medical wikis providing high-quality and unique content. AskDrWiki features more than 140 coronary angiogram videos from the number one heart center in America for 13 years in a row -- Cleveland Clinic.
Such omissions can be fixed in the future by using an approach similar to the newly-launched Google News comments -- if you are included in a news story and you want to clarify a point, comments can be added directly to the news report.

Dana and Ray Brandon
Ray's Take You may believe your financial records are fairly well organized. However, you could unwittingly be leaving your loved ones a big mess. No one likes to dwell on dying, but one day we'll all "make the switch," and a little planning can greatly ease the pain for those left behind.
All families need to have certain legal documents in order. These include a valid and regularly reviewed will, a living will and an official assignment of power of attorney for both health care issues and finances – which can be two different individuals.
In addition, all financial records should be summarized and easily accessible, including Social Security numbers, insurance policies, brokerage and bank accounts, and loan and credit card information. If a lot of this is computerized and password protected, have a written record of that information as well. You need to let someone know you have a lock box, where it is and where the key is kept.
Then let someone know where everything is and how it is organized, preferably the qualified person you selected as executor of your estate and/or power of attorney. Plus, tell your heirs what to expect in clear language. Your death will be shock enough for them to deal with at the time.
It's important to keep the various beneficiaries of different financial instruments updated, too. If an ex-spouse is listed as a beneficiary, that person will still benefit even if you have remarried. Beneficiary designations on insurance, annuities, and retirement plans trumps whatever your will says every time.
If it all sounds a little confusing to you now, imagine how your family and friends will feel when they are have to deal with a financial mess on top of their grief. Get the advice of an estate attorney or financial adviser. A few hours invested now will protect your loved ones from many troubles later.
Dana's Take Our 12-year-old son has been asking us lately, "How much money do you have?" Discussing family finances is not appropriate at his age, but when is the right time? Once the child is an adult, both sides can feel pretty uncomfortable talking about emotionally loaded topics like illness, death and inheritance.
Consider retaining a Certified Financial Planner to look over your finances and discuss your future. After that, call a family meeting with the financial planner present to go over insurance coverage, care options, and future financial needs or distributions.
Such a meeting gives heirs a chance to ask questions and address issues that might be important to them, yet overlooked by you. Inviting a professional to join the conversation can help everyone prepare for the future.
No one likes to talk about change and loss but maintaining silence could result in bad feelings and family fractures instead of the memories you would rather leave behind.

After coming up big in a big game, Strasburg says (hint?) 'there's a lot more in the tank'
'It's great to be playing for something,' says Strasburg after pitching in a big game against the second-place Braves. (AP) |
WASHINGTON -- I don't know if Stephen Strasburg was trying to send a message, either with the way he pitched Tuesday night or with his final postgame comment.
"I feel great," said Strasburg, on the night his inning total topped 145, his win total reached 15, his strikeout total leaped to 183 and the Nationals' lead in the National League East jumped to a season-high seven games over the second-place Braves. "I feel like there's a lot more left in the tank."
Judge for yourself whether he meant it as a helpful suggestion, as veiled criticism or simply as a statement of fact. But on the night when it became even more likely that this Nationals season will extend into October (their playoff chances increased to a major-league high 99.7 percent after Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Braves, according to the computers at coolstandings.com), the issue of no Strasburg in October became all the more real.
More on Stephen Strasburg |
Related links |
This isn't about whether the Nationals are doing the right thing with their long-planned Strasburg shutdown. This isn't a suggestion that they should rethink, rework or redo anything.
It's just that on this night in late August, Strasburg gave us all a hint of what he might look like on a night in October. With a big crowd, a big opponent and a big stage, he came up big.
"Much better tempo," pitching coach Steve McCatty said. "He was fired up for this game."
Strasburg shot down any suggestion that this was "his playoffs."
"They're regular-season [games]," he said, after allowing one run on four hits in six innings, with 10 strikeouts.
But this may have been the biggest game -- regular-season or otherwise -- that Strasburg will be allowed to pitch this year. By the time the first-place Nationals and second-place Braves meet again, on Sept. 14-16 in Atlanta, Strasburg may already have been shut down, or the Nationals may already have an imposing lead.
By the time the truly big games come up in October, he'll definitely have been shut down, barring a complete and totally unexpected about-face by Nationals management.
The shutdown remains enough of a topic that it was fair to wonder whether it would play into manager Davey Johnson's decision on whether to leave Strasburg in the game after Tuesday's 51-minute third-inning rain delay. Pull Strasburg at that point, and perhaps Johnson would buy him an extra start in September.
Instead, Johnson stuck to his usual one-hour cutoff. If the delay lasted less than an hour, Strasburg would continue.
It was a reasonable decision, given the importance of the game, the way Strasburg was pitching and the fact that the Nationals had used every reliever they had in Monday's 13-inning win. Given that it was Strasburg, even the Nationals players knew it wasn't an obvious decision.
"I know Stephen, and he wants to pitch all the time," said shortstop Ian Desmond, whose second home run in as many nights had given Strasburg a 1-0 lead heading into the delay. "The organization, on the other hand, I didn't know how careful they'd be."
They are being careful, and it's hard to get too upset with them for that. But even the Nationals themselves can get tempted to stretch things a little, as Johnson did when he allowed Strasburg to pitch the sixth inning after he struck out the side in the fifth.
"I think the whole stadium might have strung me up if I'd pulled him after the fifth," Johnson said.
The fifth inning was electric, with one strikeout on Strasburg's devastating changeup and then two more on his fastball. He had 10 strikeouts in all, two on the curveball, four on the changeup and four on the fastball.
The combination of pitches has led to comparisons with Justin Verlander, but as Chipper Jones said Monday and as McCatty repeated Tuesday, the 91 mph changeup actually makes Strasburg unique. No one else, not even Verlander, features the same assortment of devastating pitches that Strasburg does.
That doesn't mean Strasburg is already the best pitcher in baseball, not at age 24 and in his first full big-league season. But it's why he stands above the other outstanding pitchers in his own rotation, why there's a little more buzz about Strasburg starts than even starts by Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann.
The Nationals say, "Why can't we win without him?" as Ryan Zimmerman said Tuesday afternoon. And they could.
But if Tuesday night reminded us of anything, it's that Strasburg can be even more special than usual when the stage gets bigger. He compared Tuesday's atmosphere to the one at his June 2010 debut, the night he introduced himself to the big leagues by striking out 14 Pirates.
"It's great to be playing for something," Strasburg said Tuesday.
The Nationals are playing for something now, for the first time in their history. Barring a collapse that would be as bad as any in baseball history (worse even than the 2011 Red Sox, according to the computers), they'll be playing for even more in October.
Who knows if Strasburg was trying to send a message with his "lot more left in the tank" comment? If he was, who could blame him?
Of course he wants to pitch in the playoffs. Of course we would want to watch him pitch in the playoffs.
That's not to say it would be the right move. That's not to suggest there's any realistic chance it would happen.
So we can just watch games like Tuesday and think about what it would be like. He can just pitch games like Tuesday's and wonder about it, too.
I'm guessing he thinks it would be great.
And I'm guessing it would be.

Question about Alphamine and Erase Pro with current stack
Question about Alphamine and Erase Pro with current stack
Even though this is my first post, I have read this forum for a long time and I am very interested to try Alphamine and Erase/Erase Pro ...
Currently my cutting stack is
Alpha T2
Reduce XT
Forskolin 95
and EC
What I want to do is take out EC and add Alphamine with E, which Cooper thinks is good..but I'm confuse about Erase or Erase Pro since PRO has blocks cortisol which Reduce XT also does. Any recommendations? - 07-10-2014, 01:09 PM
PEScience Representative
Don't miss out on the next deal:http://pescience.com/insider
Protein Backed by Science: http://selectprotein.com
Well I bought the Reduce XT because I was having problem sleeping, and then waking up during the night to binge. I read online that one sympton of cortisol is waking up at 3am (which was exactly the time i woke up) to eat..becuase this is the time when cortisol rises (if I read this correctly).
I think it was the best supplement I have bought regarding this.. now I can sleep and I don;t wake up to eat..during the night..
As of Alpha T2, bought it to help me shed some fat, read some people had good results with it for the love handles, hopefully it helps me this is the same reason I want to add Alphamine becuase there are some great reviews of people reducing their chest fat and love handles with it.
As for my current results..I just have like a week and a half using it.. the scale hasnt moved much, but I can see small differences in the mirror. - 07-11-2014, 12:10 PM
Thanks Bolt...after reading more about Erase Pro, and Erase.. I went with Erase like you said. I was able to find the OLD version online.
Damn.. my apetite has shut down.. I can't go a day without eating with Alphamine.. trust me..I have used EC Stack before..and it does supressed my apetite too..but this is stronger.. also..my sleep has been pretty good after controling cortisol.. Love handles are dissapearing

Imagine running 20 miles, a total that's only six miles less than a standard marathon. Now imagine running that distance every day, for six consecutive months.
Sounds tiring, right?
That's the Forrest Gump-like challenge Connecticut high school teacher Christian McEvoy, a 23-year-old man who was recently in Craig, has placed on himself. McEvoy is 1,000 miles into a 3,500-mile run designed to raise money and awareness for cancer.
"It's tough," said McEvoy, a 2004 graduate of Fairfield University in Connecticut and a former Division I swimmer. "The terrain here in Colorado has been tough because I'm not used to it. But, I've got a great crew behind me making it possible."
McEvoy's "Coast to Coast: A Run for Survivorship" began July 1 in San Francisco and will conclude on about Dec. 14 in Narragansett, R.I. He has raised $115,000 of his $1 million goal.
McEvoy came up with the idea for the run after a friend's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. He said he felt a calling to help the plight of cancer survivors.
"This is what I can do to help," he said.
"When you say 3,500 miles, that makes people turn their heads. Once you get someone's head to turn, you can tell them that 3,500 miles is nothing compared to the 10 million Americans who live with cancer or the effects of cancer every day."
McEvoy's challenge finds him on the road running three to five hours per day. He said he's trying to get past the plains states before the weather starts getting cold.
McEvoy was set to arrive in Steamboat Springs today and from there, travel to Denver.
He is accompanied by a traveling team, including documentary filmmakers. Their film will document the stories of people across the country with different stages of cancer.
Money raised through McEvoy's run will primarily benefit the Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Conn.
Leslie Estelle, a team coordinator, said local businesses were very generous with services during the team's Craig stay. Local restaurants and hotels donated meals and rooms, she said.
"We wouldn't last long on the road if it weren't for businesses like these," Estelle said.
To track the coast-to-coast run, or to donate money for cancer survivorship programs, visit www.coasttocoastrun.org.

Ramsgate have appointed Dean Hill as their new player-manager after Justin Luchford agreed to resign at the weekend.
The defender acted as caretaker-manager at Southwood for six matches in February, following the dismissal of Tim Dixon, and apparently ran Justin Luchford "a close second" when the latter was appointed to succeed Dixon in March.
But Luchford's brief reign came to an end at the weekend after he was asked to step down by the board, who then wasted little time in appointing Hill as his successor.
Hill said: "I'm delighted to take the full-time position as manager at Ramsgate FC. I feel passionate about the current squad of players and with a few additions, that are right for the club, we can really push on this year.
"I will be a player/manager next season, and to ensure I can focus on playing I will have two experienced coaches I have known for a long time with me. I have brought in Paul Murray (from Deal Town), who is a full-time professional coach and he is someone I trust and respect; he will motivate and coach the team to work/win together as a unit.
"Richard Langley has also agreed to remain at the club and his knowledge and professionalism will support us during the week with all decisions."
The Ramsgate board had announced they were looking for "a younger, more local" manager in succession to Luchford, who was in charge for just eight matches and was still outlining his rebuilding plans for next season on the club website as recently as last Wednesday.
But the board asked him to step down after becoming concerned at the direction the club was taking. It said in a statement: "In the light of recent events the board has decided to ask Justin to step down, as it felt the club was moving away from the commitment to local talent that is fundamental to the structure it has put in place."

Indigenous Ixil women living in Quiche endured 36 years of civil war and today are among the poorest people in Guatemala. Many of the women have survived rape, torture, and forced displacement from their ancestral lands. Many widows and single mothers are the sole breadwinners for their households and most families don't earn enough to purchase basic necessities. This results in the highest infant mortality rate in Central America and one of the world's worst rates of malnutrition for children.
Based on a community-centered model of micro-enterprise, MADRE establishes small chicken farms as a source of food security and income for Indigenous women in Quiche communities. This project improves families' diets by providing eggs for protein, generates income for women, and builds participants' technical and business skills. This in turn creates more economic opportunities for women and their families in Quiche.
Farming for the Future empowers Ixil women with the necessary skills and resources to combat poverty in their communities. Higher incomes and improved quality of diets enables Ixil women to live healthy lives and become economically self-sufficient. Promoting the active participation of Ixil women in the political, social, and economic life of their community increases women's status, and reinforces their voices as community leaders.

Well i have been playing around a lot with android client connectivity with remote MySQL database. Lately i wanted a UI/View, something input textfield, i wanted to show completion suggestions automatically in a drop down menu while the user is typing, suggestions would be coming from MySQL database. Basically whenever i type, i am calling php sending the input and php will query database and return the values(in my case just names) that have "input" as substring (like if i type 'pa' then it would return names that have 'pa' as substring). I am sending results to android client via encoded json. In android side i am decoding json and filling my ArrayAdapter. Lets see the points that are being done:
I somehow looking at google i wrote this code. This php gets the input text from my android and it runs query at database for records whose company names has "input text" as a substring. You can see the query statement above. In the end it encodes the result in json.
2) Main.xml (my layout)
Here is the xml layout file for my ui.
3) Main Activity class
Here is the main class that extends Activity. Here is the code of calling php module and parsing json. I have explained this all in my previous post so you could go through it. i'l explain just AutoCompleteTextView part here.
import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.util.ArrayList; import org.apache.http.HttpEntity; import org.apache.http.HttpResponse; import org.apache.http.NameValuePair; import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient; import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost; import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient; import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair; import org.json.JSONArray; import org.json.JSONException; import org.json.JSONObject; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.text.Editable; import android.text.TextWatcher; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
public class AutoComptest extends Activity { private CustomAutoCompleteView autoComplete; private ArrayAdapterautoCompleteAdapter; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); autoCompleteAdapter = new ArrayAdapter (this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line); autoCompleteAdapter.setNotifyOnChange(true); // This is so I don't have to manually sync whenever changed autoComplete = (CustomAutoCompleteView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteCountry); autoComplete.setHint("Country"); autoComplete.setThreshold(3); autoComplete.setAdapter(autoCompleteAdapter); autoComplete.addTextChangedListener(textChecker); }
final TextWatcher textChecker = new TextWatcher() { public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {} public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {} public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { autoCompleteAdapter.clear(); callPHP(); } };
private void callPHP(){ String result = ""; InputStream is=null; try{ ArrayListnameValuePairs = new ArrayList (); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("st",autoComplete.getText().toString())); HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2/gaanza_android/android_database.php"); httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); is = entity.getContent(); }catch(Exception e){ Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString()); } try{ BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"),8); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); String line = null; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line + "\n"); } is.close(); result=sb.toString(); }catch(Exception e){ Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString()); }
//parse json data Note: remember "http://10.0.2.2/" in my last post. I had to use 10.0.2.2 instead of localhost because emulator consider itself as localhost and my xammp local server is not in emulator localhost. Ok so i want to detect an event when a text is typed/deleted from my autocompletetextview, basically i want a listener which detects a change in text of my view. So what should we do ? Well in my case i searched the android developer documentation 😀 , there i found something called TextWatcher. What i am doing is attach a TextWatcher object to editable like my AutoCompleteTextView so whenever any text changes in my editable the functions/methods of TextWatcher will be called and in these methods i had to write my logic codes which is what i want to achieve if text changes in autocompletetextview ?. There are three abstract methods in TextWatcher class so you have to override them, well anyway thats what we wanted. Methods are: Best way to understand them is going through the document here. Anyway i had to write my logic code on beforeTextChanged() method so that it performs action whenever there is a change in text of autocompletetextview. In above code sample i am calling PHP whenever i am typing something. So i am calling callPHP function at onTextChanged() method. So whenever i type something it will call PHP giving text to the function in PHP and PHP will query MySql database for results and PHP will send results to me in json. This is it. So i decode json and fill the results in ArrayAdapter after clearing it, whenever ArrayAdapter changes it notify the changes being made and AutoCompleteView will show the new drop down suggestions. There was still one very minor problem and i solved it with my another very stupid solution 😛 So problem was that whenever the results from database gets filled in ArrayAdapter and AutoCompleteTextView shows drop down suggestions, it showed me filtered suggestions like suppose i type "can" and i get results(which has "can" as substring) from database, so for "can" ArrayAdapter contents get filtered and i get suggestion starting with text "can" which i didn't wanted because i already has got filtered results from database and i wanted to show all results that i am receiving from database. So for this i had to write my custom AutoCompleteTextView. It isn't hard at all, i just had to extend AutoCompleteTextView and override the methods. 4) CustomAutoCompleteView which extends AutoCompletetextView How to remove the filter on an ArrayAdapter used in an AutoCompleteTextView? I had to override performFiltering() method. In this method i am telling AutoCompletetextView to not filter any suggestions, just show all suggestions. I searched on google for this topic but i didn't find any good solution, maybe i didn't searched it properly. Whatever, i just wrote a stupid trick to remove any filter, actually instead of technically removing filter i am adding a filter which does a job to show all suggestions :D. I defined a filter which filters all suggestion based on "" yeah a blank string :D. But this works like a charm. Just try it. So now your are getting results suggestion from database dynamically to AutoCompleteTextView. But But But But But ok enough, In above code way of fetching data from database to AutoCompletetextView just sucks. Never never ever call a http PHP call in UI Thread. I did a lot of testing with this code. When i was getting small number of results from Database(live database not local) it was working fine but when i was getting large number of results say more than 150 and it was taking a bit of time which caused my UI to be non-responsive and thus famous FORCE CLOSE occured. So never call it from UI thread because u don't know how much time it will take to complete whole http connection. So always call it in separate thread that i will discuss in Part II of this subject. yes i'l be posting new better version of same problem. Gracias

WILSON � Shelby Post 82 could point to 12 runners left on base, getting runners in scoring position in six of the 10 innings and scoring only three runs as reasons it lost Saturday�s North Carolina American Legion state tournament game to Garner.
But, as Shelby coach Mike Grayson put it afterward, Post 82 had opportunities to win and didn�t take advantage of them. Garner did take advantage of its chances � and posted a 6-3, 10-inning victory that sends Shelby to the loser�s bracket of the eight-team, double-elimination tournament.
Shelby (35-8) meets Area III champion Randolph County (32-6) on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Fleming Stadium in an elimination game. If Post 82 can stay alive, it would need to win again on Monday, then take two victories on Tuesday to win its first state title since 2001.
�The good thing is that we get to play more baseball,� Shelby coach Mike Grayson said. �The bottom line is that we did not make the most of an opportunity tonight. We had chances to put them away and didn�t. They made the most of their chances.�
Shelby took a quick 1-0 lead by manufacturing a run in the bottom of the first inning.
Leadoff batter Jackson Mims reached first on a wild pitch as he struck out. He moved to second on Nick Hastings� sacrifice bunt, then scored on a throwing error after Cody Fitch�s infield single.
Garner (24-5) would take a 3-1 lead with two runs in the third inning and one more in the fourth before Shelby cut into the lead in the fourth.
Dustin Greene reached on a leadoff throwing error, advanced to second after a spectacular diving grab by Garner left fielder Keenan Herring and scored on Phillip Black�s two-out RBI single.
But after leaving one runner on base in each of the first four innings � all at first � Shelby wasted chance after chance four times in the next five innings.
Post 82 grounded into an inning-ending double play in the fifth after getting runners to first and third with one out and left runners stranded at second in the eighth and ninth innings.
Even when Shelby tied the score at 3 in the seventh, Post 82 had to feel like it was one big hit away from putting real pressure on Area I champion Garner Post 232.
Phillip Black drew a leadoff walk. Then after a bunt attempt was popped up, a fielding error put runners on first and second before Nick Hastings� single to right loaded the bases with one out.
But a liner to right failed to move runners up before Jay Seagle drove in a run when he was hit by a pitch before a groundout ended the inning.
�We played pretty close to our potential,� Grayson said. �We try to get six runs and we didn�t get that done. But the good thing about this tournament is that you�ve got to lose twice before you have to go home.�
Fitch�s three hits led Shelby�s seven-hit offense. Hastings started and went four innings, yielding six hits, three runs and two walks whiled striking out two. Ethan Carpenter relieved and went six innings, yielding eight hits, three runs and one walk while striking out four to take the loss.
Nick Stuart had three hits and Taylor Stephens, Addison Braswell, Garrett Suggs and Keenan Herring two apiece for Garner�s 14-hit attack. Suggs� two-run triple in the 10th was game-winning hit for Post 232, which got the win from reliever Tyler Marshburn and a save from Perry Gray.

Good move by MVHS. I hope they extend it for a week. STEM education should be incorporated into the curriculum at all Silicon Valley Schools.
By the way, aside from the first comment, the rest of the comments are really stupid. Are these adults? I doubt any of them even attended high school at all. One could not even read the article.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will stop selling its Mac Pro desktop line in Europe starting March 1 because of new regulatory requirements in the region. The company announced the decision in a letter to resellers, according to MacRumors.
"As of March 1, 2013, Apple will no longer sell Mac Pro in EU, EU candidate, and EFTA countries because these systems are not compliant with Amendment 1 of regulation IEC 60950-1, Second Edition which becomes effective on this date," the letter said. "Apple resellers can continue to sell any remaining inventory of Mac Pro after March 1."
In a media statement released on Thursday, Apple added that the regulatory issue was related to the large fans within the computer, which are unprotected. The amendment necessitate fan guards and increased protection on the ports on the electrical system, it said.
"The Mac Pro met the previous standards prior to the amendment 1 addition. Obviously it's a very safe and very reliable product," the company said.

DrivenWoman Members' Meeting - women's network in London (Wednesday group)DrivenWomanWednesday, 24 May 2017 from 18:45 to 21:00 (BST) |
Event Details
DrivenWoman Members Meeting
DrivenWoman members get together monthly at Members' Meetings to check-in on their progress towards their goals and to help each other towards more exciting and successful life.
Proactivity is in the heart of DrivenWoman. We created the groups not just for inspiration and networking, but to facilitate tangible positive change and measurable progress. Each member sets her own goals and defines her measure for success. At DrivenWoman every dream is created equal!
The groups are limited to 15 people to allow all members to share their progress. Every month each member refines her goals and sets new actionable steps. Writing down your goals and sharing them with others makes you accountable and much more likely to actually achieve them.
Who is this group for?
This group is for women who have joined DrivenWoman as members.
If you are not a member but are considering to join, please come to one of our Introduction evenings to see how this works. We run Introduction sessions monthly. You can find the schedule here.
Important information about the sessions
Please note that the work will start sharply at 7 pm. The first 15 minutes is allocated for free networking. We expect everyone to arrive to the groups on time.
We ask our members to bring their Goals sheets from the last session and be prepared to share your most challenging task with the group. You should pick a task you want input and support from the other members, or perhaps you want to share your success achieving a particularly hard task!
For more information please visit our website at www.drivenwoman.co.uk

Add to my calendar
DrivenWoman is a members' network that helps women define their own success,
become accountable to their goals and make dreams happen. We get together once
a month to create positive habits and put plans into action, one small step at a time.
We do this by sharing our progress and inspiring each other. This method of
'LifeWorking' creates accountability, removes fear of failure and builds a strong
sense of commitment.
Dreams don't just happen, but you can make them happen!
After only a couple of months members notice a tangible change in their lives -
"DrivenWoman has been a life-changing experience for me. I previously worked in
male-dominated industries, with barely any women in leadership roles to aspire to. I
was fairly disillusioned about what I could achieve in business as a woman.
But DrivenWoman has encouraged me to think differently, to challenge myself and
to be brave. I no longer compare myself to others or aspire to be someone else, I
aim to be the best, most authentic version of me and to truly value what I bring to
the table. That belief in myself, and brand me, is paying dividends in terms of client
So not only is my business thriving, but I also have the advantage of being
surrounded by a wonderful network of supportive women from all different
backgrounds and perspectives who are my personal cheerleaders. When I'm having
tough times, they help lift me up and when I'm on a roll they inspire me to push
myself further." Natalie Davison, Founder of PR agency Swell Communications
"When I joined DrivenWoman I thought I was signing up for a monthly opportunity to
network and interact with like-minded women, but what I didn't know was that I was
embarking on a transformational journey so gentle that it has changed me without
me fully realising. Only after 9 months I was able to look back and see how much I
had travelled, first and foremost as a woman and secondly as a professional.
There is some magic that happens when we get together to offer each other a
supportive space where a story can be told – both the act of listening and being
listened opens up doors for opportunities within oneself and new routes for one's
journey appear. With DrivenWoman, I got what I signed up for. And so much
more." Francesca Lando, Designer
DrivenWoman LifeWorking™ groups operate in many major cities around the world
including London, Helsinki, Singapore and Auckland. If you are interested in
starting LifeWorking™ groups where you are, please contact miisa (at)

gameplay is pretty solid. the only glaring flaw i see now is runningbacks can change direction too effortlessly, a lot like NFL 2k4. and the OL/DL battle is underwhelming.
whats driving me nuts is that they gutted the old franchise mode for glitchy connected careers, where you can't use custom rosters, fantasy draft, can't edit players numbers and gear (see tons of repeat numbers on the same team), can't change players position. the menu looks like ****.
typical madden, take 1 step forward, 5 steps backward, still suckered me out of 60 dollars. at least they finally got the Giants colors right, although the away jersey is missing the stripes LOL.
still waiting for NFL 2Kx
My game will arrive today, but I didn't really like the demo that much.
Running seemed to be way too easy even on All-Pro whereas passing on All-Pro was too difficult and the CPU defense ended up intercepting passes out of the blue.
Thankfully I can play around with the sliders so maybe I'll find a balance in there somewhere, but my first impression is that the QB stats won't be realistic while a RB can break 150 yards easily. We'll see, maybe they fixed some of the bugs after the demo.
I guess you're right, but it kind of kills the momentum of the game. It's pretty easy to convert a 3rd and 3, for instance, with a dive play. It works about 99% of the time.
I want a challenge when playing sports games and while Madden is nice, it still has a long way to go to match MLB The Show, for example.
This is the best Madden yet... you dudes must can't play. I still gotta re-sharpen my skills back up since I barely played 11 & 12 but once I do, it's a wrap.
Well I don't know if it's about not knowing how to play or what not. It's just that the game glitchy and it's missing balance. Maybe the sliders will fix this, but the demo left me a bit unimpressed.
here's a review from someone who wraps up my thoughts pretty well (albeit with an annoying voice)
Good game, I've only played about 3 matches, but they definitely stepped up the game engine this year. First game playing with Giants ended up getting a 3 TD game with Marty B.
Also for franchise, you have to do connected career coach offline.
It scored a 9 on IGN... that's a pretty high score.

List of First and Principal Naval Aides-de-Camp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below is a list of First and Principal Naval Aides-de-Camp, an office established by William IV of the United Kingdom in 1830:
Since 1972, the office has been united with that of First Sea Lord.[3]
Flag aide-de-camp[edit]
Flag aide-de-camp is the designation given to the next most senior naval aide-de-camp after the First and Principal Naval ADC. Between 1972 and 2012, the Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command invariably held this appointment (from 1994-2012 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command, and with it the office of flag aide-de-camp, was united with the job of Second Sea Lord).[4] Since October 2012, however, the Commander-in-Chief post has to all intents and purposes ceased to exist.[5]

The earth goddess Durga was the emcee for the Dasain festival, a harvest festival between the new and full Asoj moon. During this fortnight, good conquered evil, kites were flown, alcohol was imbibed, families congregated, fields were harvested, gods were appeased, and there was blood on the streets in the city of Kathmandu.
In the beginning, as the dark side of the moon showed itself, barley seeds were planted in a vessel representing the womb of Durga. As the celebrations progressed, the barley germinated, turned green, and growed towards the sun.
Children played in the streets and on rooftops, beginning a two week vacation full of kite flying and swinging. Each village built a swing of rope and bamboo, so that work and the earthly duties can be forgotton, at least for a moment. Everyone, including the elders were expected to swing at least once.
As I sat on the rooftop garden of Himalaya's Guesthouse, I watched as hundreds of kites flew over the city of Kathmanu. Young adults also flew kites from the rooftops, drinking beer, gambling, and playing AC/DC or Avril Lavigne on their tape decks: a time of freedom symbolized in the kites and swings.
I stayed in Kathmandu until the climax of the festival--the tenth day--when good conquors evil. On that day, Ram, an incarnation of Vishnu, defeats the demon Ravana with the help of goddess Durga. Parades of people, mostly spontaneous celebrations, filled the streets periodically and people received tikkas from their elders.
"I'm so happy," said a dancing man as I walked with one parade of people with a float of Durga and several caravans of people with painted faces.
The prior day--Navami, the 9th--bulls, goats, sheep, chickens, and green beings--the germinated barley sprouts, fruits, and nuts--were sacrificed to appease the gods and goddesses. I watched as a chicken and a goat were beheaded in front of the wrathful deity Bhairab, a messy affair complete with writhing and spurting blood onto the feet of the deity. Around the corner, a young boy gave me a tikka, smearing it onto my forehead, between my eyes. The blood from the animals were smeared on vehicles of all kinds--airplanes, cars, motorcycles--in order to ensure that more blood would not be spilt in an accident.
Often, I sat under the Boddhi tree in Durbar Square, the seat of most of the action. From there, where the feet of God are located, I could watch the world of festivities going by and sit with tour guides and sadhus.
Two days before, the king had come to Durbar Square, to the ancient palace of the kings, as part of the rites of Dasain. Soldiers and musicians marked his arrival, though he arrived quickly in a black vehicle. Leaving just as quickly, the ceremony was one more of obligation than pomp, seeing that the king was essentially powerless, unpopular, and under the barrel of a gun.
Most of Dasain, however, was a quiet family affair. Families visited temples together, praying to the goddess, and enjoyed the two weeks as a group, flying kites and such. Many shops were closed as people in the recently-sprawled Kathmandu returned to their roots in the countryside.
New traditions were also beginning, as coconut juice was replacing blood for sprinkling their motorcycles. They now believe that the coconut can represent a head and the juice inside can represent blood. What's important is the symbolism and meaning behind it.
In the end, people continued to swing and fly their kites, and elders drank and gambled. I did notice, however, that the drinking and gambling part of the ceremonies continued after Dasain was officially over.

Layoff Notices To Teachers, Workers Mailed This Week
Monday, March 15, 2010
SAN DIEGO Hundreds of San Diego County teachers and school workers will receive notices this week that their jobs could be in jeopardy. March 15 is the contractual deadline for public school districts to tell their employees they may out of a job by summer.
The layoff notices are sent by mail. They are not official pink slips. School districts issue notices as a precaution as they grapple with massive state budget shortfalls.
The Chula Vista Elementary School District is noticing about 460 employees, most of them teachers. Vista may lay off 165 workers. Oceanside could lay off about 120 teachers.
State Superintendent Jack O'Connell says the tentative pink slips hurt morale.
"Here we are, about a month away from our statewide standardized testing which are high stakes tests for these schools, and we're asking these teachers to do more at the same time we're sending out these layoff notices that quite frankly shatter a lot of dreams and careers," O'Connell said on KPBS Radio's These Days program.
Districts can rescind the layoff notices if their budget outlooks improve. But O'Connell says he doesn't think that will happen this year because federal education stimulus money is drying up.
The San Diego Unified School District is one of a few large urban school districts that will not send layoff notices to its permanent, veteran teaching force for a second year in a row. However new and temporary teachers will not be so lucky.
School board president Richard Barrera says those teachers are employed under a different set of contractual rules.
"We (district officials) will be able to get through this again without having to issue pink slips to permanent teachers. There is still the question of 'will we need to issue pink slips to probationary teachers, teachers who have been with the district for less than a couple years.' The answer to that is probably 'yes,'" Barrera said.
Barrera says about 250 to 300 of these probationary and temporary teachers could be let go. The number is expected to be revised based on how many permanent teachers decide to retire or go on-leave. Barrera says they should have a final figure by next month.
The San Diego school board is managing to piece together a spending plan for next year through a combination of furloughs, programs cuts and central office cuts.

For interested parties a new caucus is being formed called , "RECLAIM AMERICAN JOBS.? The American people need to fight back against the illegal immigration occupation, before it too late. Our nation is suffocating under the relentless invasion, that our politicians have ignored for decades. For reasons beyond most peoples understanding, they have blocked any successful way of restrictions of foreign nationals, that have swarmed into every community in this nation. The numbers from government sources and other biased sources proclaim there are only 10 million, with numbers dwindling. However nobody in there right mind believes these numbers, as they have drudged up consistently over the last 10 years ago, without any change.. Tuscon Border Agency says for every one person, that is apprehended 9 disappear into our country. My guess by that, the numbers are infinitely far more. In the neighborhood of 20 to 30 million. 8 million illegal workers at the least escaping detection in the job market and that's why we need E-Verify?
Perhaps that is why our government has sided with the business sector, to just identify--ONLY--new hires. Therefore, millions are not discovered, because they are already working somewhere.undetected. Federal, state county and city don't want you to know, who has already slipped past any enforcement process. I suggest that's why E-Verify has become a menace to corporate welfare. But E-Verify had gained plenty of momentum, and the Democratic leadership led by Sen. Reid, Speaker Pelosi couldn't slip it past public awareness or popularity amongst HONEST BUSINESSMAN. Even Republicans cannot shift the whole blame on Democrats, as equal indifference must be attributed to both politico's.. Of course we always need exceptional highly skilled engineers, scientists, technical personnel, but we certainly do not require semi-skilled workers, or non-skilled, low income, poor foreign nationals who will become a public taxpayer charge, as it is now?
Now we the American people must contend with another Amnesty, Assuming President Obama can force it through. but who pays for the millions already here, or those who try to slip past before the signing. Another amnesty just means more will try to get here, thinking a third will be past at some future date. Not just the overworked border agency, but expired tourist and students at airports. So much is involved in processing new immigrants, that the whole weight falls on the taxpayers. Once here they can sponsor more family members, including those who would spend uncompensated time in emergency rooms. Another burden for luckless taxpayers. Just read the predicament the Sanctuary State of California. http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2010/03/shocking-reality-of-los-angeles-under.html

This really is the time when jobless American or any citizen and legal resident needs be a member of RECLAIM AMERICAN JOBS caucus. Only together can we stop this travesty of our immigration laws? Whatever our party consideration, we need to make it clear to all politicians that America belongs to THE PEOPLE-not to the open border demented fools, pariah businesses or the politicians themselves. There are three main enforcement tools within the United States. E-Verify, 287(g) local police alien enforcement and ICE raids. Reps. Lamar Smith (R-TX), Gary Miller (R-CA) and Sue Myrick (R-NC) have formed the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus to raise public awareness of the connection between illegal immigration and unemployment. To pressure the Obama Administration to vigorously enforce the laws against the employment of illegal aliens, work to implement legislation that will protect U.S. jobs from the impact of illegal immigration (especially to make E-Verify mandatory) Working to defeat legislation that will put U.S. jobs at risk from the impact of illegal immigration (especially to defeat amnesty.)
The Tea party movement have many objections to the Republican usurpers and the majority certainly don't agree with Dick Armey. But then Steve Poizner would be a great win for California, as he promised he would halt the draining of public entitlements to illegal aliens and give full reign to ICE to investigate and place in detention the millions of foreign families living illegally there. Certainly Governor Schwarzenegger did nothing and allowed this epidemic to spread statewide. California taxpayers have been shoved to the back, when they voted for Proposition 176--eliminating benefits to illegal families. The schools system has slowly deteriorated to the bottom rungs of performance with crammed classes of illegal immigrant children and the inability of teachers to offer a decent education to the offspring of American parents. In the last decade the prison system has been the place of last resort, for the rising crime rate of illegal immigrants from across the globe. Border state hospitals including California are overrun by illegal alien families who cannot afford to pay, leaving the bill for the taxpayers to collect the tab.
Go to numbersusa.com to learn the ropes. Don't forget to call your Senator or Representative at 202-224-3121. Don't forget to give your state incumbent lawmaker an ultimatum; NO RE-ELECTION VOTE. We are a sympathetic people, but Americans must come first and any lawmaker who represents the illegal immigrant, must be kicked out of office. This is not mean-spirited, this is survival of our nation, our flag and our language. American jobs for American people. Learn about the rampant corruption at Judicialwatch.org. OVERPOPULATION is another hidden issue, that will cause major environmental problems by 2040.

The Rangers enter today's showdown in Pittsburgh reeling, losers of three of their last four, and on the outside of the playoff picture, looking to find consistency to their game without much time to do so.
It doesn't seem like the right time to take on the streaking Penguins and Sidney Crosby, who have won seven straight, are tied atop the Eastern Conference and lead the NHL with 103 goals scored.
Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist feels otherwise.
"It's the perfect time for us," The King insisted after practice yesterday at Consol Energy Center. "It's a good challenge for us, an opportunity for us to turn things around here. Last week and a half has been a little down for us, but if we can get a good game [today], against one of the better teams in the league, we can build from that."

Henrik: Penguins good test for skidding Rangers

External hard drives have become very popular since USB 2.0 and FireWire became standard on most PCs and notebooks. Both USB 2.0 and FireWire offer decent transfer speeds, so they are well suited to external storage solutions at a more affordable price point than the traditional SCSI offerings. Add to this the fact that hard drive capacities keep increasing and prices keep dropping, and it's easy to see why external devices have become popular for both consumer and business markets.
Of course external hard drives are easy to use, you plug them in, wait for Windows to detect the device and it appears on your computer just like any other hard drive. Considering that the average PC is shipping with at least a 120GB if not a 160GB hard drive these days there is really no other way of keeping a full backup of your PC than by using a similar sized external drive.
The Seagate device on test here is the first 100GB external hard drive to arrive at TrustedReviews which features a 2.5in disk. This means that this is a far more compact device than most external hard drives, although it can't quite compete in terms of capacity. The hard disk inside the very stylish metal casing is rated at 5,400rpm so it won't be as fast as the latest generation of 3.5in hard drives, but this still represents a decent turn of speed for a 2.5in drive.
Where it does compete with desktop drives is when it comes to cache memory – just like many current 3.5in drives, this one comes with an 8MB cache. Seagate also offers a 40GB version, but this only sports 2MB of cache. Of course the amount of cache probably won't have a huge impact on performance, since the interface is always going to be the bottleneck.
As I mentioned, the drive case is very stylish looking, with air vents all around the sides – apart from the back – and there is a hidden blue light at the front that illuminates when the drive is plugged in. The case itself is made from chrome plated aluminium and Seagate claims that it's scratch resistant. Two rubber strips at the bottom keep the drive from scratching any surface it may be placed on, but they don't make it stick to the surface. The back of the casing is were the mini USB port is located as well as a power connector, although no power supply is provided.

Very nice setup so far! Do you have a theme for your event?
Can't wait to see more pictures! Good luck!
Hello fellow haunters. I thought I would start a build log of sorts as we start putting up this years haunt.
Technically considered home haunters, (we really wanted to go pro this year), we have found that what we give if more than some pro haunt places give.
#1 guy in this is JoeP and then me.
We have about 6 - 7 actors but need more. Know anyone? Send them our way.
So this weekend we got some of the walls up. Roof next weekend.
Let us know what you think and any usefull tips you may have for us. this is our 3rd year doing this.
Very nice setup so far! Do you have a theme for your event?
Can't wait to see more pictures! Good luck!
I so miss the old days of home haunting! Now a lot of the fun has been sucked out, and its turning into a full job.... I love the layout, I cant wait to see more photos!
I wish we had the space to get real fancy with the set decorations and have more time to make rooms bigger and more detailed, but we work with what we have.
And we have panels.
Here are a few different walkways. They are in different sections of the haunt.
One of the rooms that seem outta place, but done to disorient you, is one that was discussed on these forums. I believe it was Allen Hopps that mentioned he wanted to do a room called The Baked Potatoe. He gave people his ideas on it. We modified it some and built one this year.
All walls, roof and floor are covered by foil reflective home isulation sheeting.
In this first pic, there is a door. It opens inward then disappears when closed.
You have to find the exit door which is almost beside the entrance door. Just pushing on walls will eventually open the door.
Two 800 watts strobe lights make things difficult with all the reflective surfaces.
did you find a good place to get that foam for cheap? Around here it is hard to come by.....It looks good.
it was only $10 a sheet at Lowes. Its called warming board or something like that. Much more durable than aluminum foil.

Funny Garfield comic strips without Garfield, just John
I don't know whether you need an appreciation of Garfield to enjoy this spoof on the old comics, but I found some of these Garfield comic strips incredibly funny.
I've always enjoyed the comics and hated the old kids show, it's an excellent representation of what owning a cat in real life is like.
The disappearance of the cat Garfield in each comic just makes John look like a depressed whacked out psychopath and that's okay. You almost feel sorry for the guy.
I could get in with more of these, may have to put up more John comics without Garfield in future.

We flicked the switch on our new website on 6th November. While it's not totally complete and we have a number of improvements in mind, we felt we've made enough progress for the world to see. If you spot glitches please email us with feedback and help us to improve it!
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that we're temporarily at http://access-space.lowtech.org, redirected from our usual home at http://access-space.org. There are a bunch of back-room functions which we need to wrangle before we can safely change our URL back to http://access-space.org. When that happens you'll know we've completed the job.
