My pleasure to help you sort it out.jayno wrote:Eric, thanks again.
We'll better make before doing anything stupid.I follow your instructions but I'm a bit unsure about this. Before I attempt to do anything can you first have a look at what is inside the two Barca folders on my C Drive:-
It doesn't contain a lot, so you may relocate that one to your Trash.Inside C Drive / Programs / BARCA 2.5 :
This one is odd because first inside is a folder called BARCA2, and when I open this I get 2 sub-folders and 8 files, but no sign of an address.ini anywhere:
That's the one we need, although some strange things going on.Inside C Drive / Programs / BARCA 2 :
This is a stand-alone BARCA2, which has 15 sub-folders (one of which has the old Address.ini file in it), and 30 files:
Further explanation follows.
It contains your adress.ini file as well as your backup. For the rest that's normal.Address [ 2 files in this folder = Address and Address.~ini from Nov 2006]
Shouldn't that be accounts.ini instead of just that name with no extension. Add ini as an extension and see what it gives.FILES
Is that a mailbox? If not, rename it to address.ini. Same as above.Address.mbx
Open it with a text editor, so you'll know what it contains. Or better open it with Excel or Open Office Calc.
Ok, that's your dictionary, nothing wrong there.American.adm
Same as address.mbx. Never saw that one.Attach.mbx
Why two files? One should be your exe and the other one your ini file. How can they co-exist with the same name or are those different?barca
Both should be a folder instead mbx.Cache.mbx
Don't know what that means.Copy of Barca
Should be folders too.Diary.mbx
Should be ini files.events
Should be folders.Icons.mbx
PoImport.exe and it's DLL file.POImport
Should be an ini fileposition
Should be folders.Scripts.mbx
Should be a folder containing your skins.Skins.mbx
Should be ini.spell
Should be a folder.Templates.mbx
Should be a folder.Users.mbx
As I see it that trojan removed all extension ini as well as exe's.
Folders were renamed to mbx-files.
A pretty nasty infection you got there IMHO.
Maybe you can recover something by renaming those files or adding the right extension. However I can't promise that it will work, but it worth a try to recover as much as possible.
Here's my setup, so I hope this helps.

If I were you, I would install the latest version into a new directory.
Don't import anything yet, since you could overwrite those files with what you recovered from that corrupt folder of Barca 2.
So a lot of work for you to clean the damage this trojan did.
If you need more assistance, just let me know.
Good luck & of course keep me informed on the progress or problems you may encounter.

|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(f): forecast
- Stability and political, economic and social consensus, linked with direct democracy
- Close relations with the European Union, except for agriculture
- Balanced public accounts despite relatively low taxation
- Limited sensitivity of exports to exchange rates; high technology, quality
- Strength of external surpluses
- Low unemployment and diversified labour
- European crossroads with excellent communication network
- Small, open and landlocked economy
- Overvalued Swiss franc seen as a safe-haven, sensitivity to global economy
- Level of dependence on commodity trade, financial services and the presence of multinational companies
- House prices and high level of household debt (almost 200% of disposable incomes)
- Presence of systemic banking establishments
- Ageing demographic offset by immigration (foreign labour makes up 30% of the workforce)
Economy benefiting from European upturn and weakening franc
In 2017, the economy succeeded in adapting to the strong franc and achieved moderate growth. Thanks to productivity improvements and cost reductions, companies have largely restored their margins that had contracted as a result of the price cuts made to try and offset the appreciation of the Swiss franc following the lifting of the exchange ceiling by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) in January 2015. 2018 should see a sharp upturn. The business and consumer confidence indexes at the end of 2017 point towards this. Both domestic demand and foreign trade will contribute towards this. Despite the slow rate of growth in wages, the gradual improvement in the jobs market will help sustain household consumption. Investment is expected to rise, that by companies and households helping boost that by the Federation, the Cantons and Communes which is flagging. Thanks to the strong market outlook and with the production capacity utilisation rate in October 2017 reaching its highest level since 2012, there should be a strong upturn for equipment. Research and development, which also suffered following the appreciation of the Swiss franc, should also feel the benefits. To a lesser extent, cheap credit will also help boost construction, in particular residential. Exports are also likely to benefit from the positive movement in European, US and Asian economies, as well as from the drop in the real effective exchange rate since the second half of 2017. Pharmaceuticals (30% of exports) and engineering, not overly sensitive to prices, and thus to the franc, will remain strong. Machines, and industry in general (precision instruments, in particular medical, agri-food, electrical equipment, chemicals), financial services, commodity trading, tourism and transport are expected to perform better. The recovery will be less visible for watch making (11% of exports) which will again suffer with the slowdown in the Chinese economy. The outlook will remain difficult for retail trade, facing competition from foreign supermarkets in the border regions, and hotel and catering sectors, despite the gradual return of foreign customers, as well as for metallurgy, wood, paper, printing and clothing. Given these conditions, the number of company insolvencies, on the rise since 2014, should, at the least, stabilise, despite a rate of insolvency that will remain high in the construction, hotel, catering and retail sectors.
External accounts in surplus and accommodative monetary policy
There is a sizeable current account surplus. This consists of a surplus for goods (7.9% of GDP in 2016), as well as a surplus for services (2.9%) mainly generated by finance, licences and patents, exceeding the remittances of foreign workers (3.8%) which have increase significantly as the numbers of foreign workers have grown (in excess of 300,000). Even after removing the trade in commodities (3.9%), the surplus is still 4%. In addition, the recurrence of surpluses has enabled the creation of sizeable assets abroad to the extent that the net external credit position is equal to 130% of GDP.
In order to prevent any further appreciation in the franc, the SNB will have to continue its very flexible policies. Its key lending rate will continue to be negative (-0.75% in November 2017), as will the three-month LIBOR (range of -0.25 to -1.25%). However, the weakening on the franc should remove the need for the SNB to buy assets in foreign currencies, the balances of which are in excess of the GDP. The exposure of the banking system to property will continue at a high level as 80% of domestic lending is in this sector. The fact that only 45% of households are home-owners reveals how high the debt levels of borrowers must be. Households do however have assets that are equal to three times their debts and non-performing loans account for less than 3% of the total. In addition, the applicable prudential regulations have been and will be strengthened. Two establishments hold half of domestic assets within the sector, alongside Cantonal, cooperative and small private establishments. Whilst maintaining close external links, they have significantly reduced their balance sheets since the crisis with a focus on managing assets for third parties.
Solid public accounts
In compliance with the budget rule approved in 2003 by the Federation and replicated by most Cantons, a structural equilibrium has been enforced for the public accounts. In the event of significant worsening in local economic conditions, the Federal and Cantonal authorities, by a vote of the representative assemblies, would have significant expansionary budgetary discretion. The public debt is split equally between the Federation, on one hand, and the Cantons and Communes, on the other. The cost of this is very low with a zero or negative yield on bonds of 10 year or less (October 2017). Budgetary policy will remain uncontentious. The three parties on the right and centre-right (Democratic Union of the Centre, le Christian-Democratic People's Party and the FDP-Liberal Party) will dominate the Federal Assembly and the National Council (executive of 7 members with a rotating annual presidency) until the next elections scheduled for 2019. The Socialist Party has two seats on the Council. The major areas of debate will remain immigration, relations with the EU, as well as reforms to pensions and corporate taxation.
Last update : January 2018
Bills of exchange and cheques are not commonly used in Switzerland, due to prohibitive banking and tax charges. The stamp duty on bills of exchange is 0.75% of the principal amount for domestic bills and 1.5% for international bills.
Commercial operators are particularly demanding regarding the formal validity of cheques and bills of exchange as payment instruments.
Domestic and international payments are commonly made by bank transfer - particularly via the SWIFT electronic network to which the major Swiss banks are connected. SWIFT provides rapid and efficient means of processing of payments, at low cost.
Debt collection
The Swiss legal system presents technical specificities, notably:
• The existence of an administrative authority "Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office" (e.g. Office des poursuites et des faillites / Betreibungs und Konkursamt / Ufficio di esecuzione e fallimenti) in each canton, with several offices at local government level which are responsible for executing court orders. Their functions are regulated by federal law. Interested parties can consult or obtain extracts from the Office's records.
• A new, unified civil procedure code, created by a commission of experts and approved by the Federal Council, became effective in 2011. This code entailed the repeal of the 26 cantonal procedure laws which were hampering the efficiency of the judicial system. Nevertheless, lawsuits require the assistance of a lawyer who is familiar with the court organisation in the jurisdiction where the case is has been initiated, as well as with the language to be used in the litigation process (French, German or Italian).
Amicable phase
The debt collection process commences with the issuing of a final notice, preferably by recorded delivery (making it possible to accrue overdue interest). The notice requests the debtor to pay, within two weeks, the principal amount due, along with overdue interest calculated at the legal rate of 5% (unless otherwise agreed by the parties).
Legal proceedings
If payment is not forthcoming, the creditor can submit a signed and completed petition form (réquisition de poursuite) to the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office. This Office then serves the debtor with a final order to pay within twenty days, effective from the date of notification of the petition.
While very easy to use by creditors, this procedure nonetheless permits debtors to oppose the order within ten days of being served, without having to specify grounds. In such cases, without unconditional proof of debt to cancel the debtor's opposition, the only recourse for creditors is to seek redress through a formal legal action.
Before commencing formal legal action, it is mandatory to proceed to mediation or conciliation before a Justice of Peace. This excludes disputes falling within the jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Zurich, or cases where both parties have agreed to ignore these proceedings and the claim is higher than CHF 100,000.
Legal proceedings entail initiating a formal (and now unified) procedure, comprising written and oral phases, with the possibility of examining witnesses during a court hearing. These procedures can last from one to three years, depending on the canton.
Conversely, where a creditor holds unconditional proof of debt signed by the debtor (any original document in which the buyer recognises his debt – such as a bill of exchange or a cheque), he may request the temporary lifting of the debtor's opposition (main levée de l'opposition), without having to appear before the court. This is a simplified procedure, which is quick and relatively easy to obtain, and in which the court's decision is based upon the documents submitted by the seller.
Once this lifting order has been granted, the creditor has twenty days in which to refer the case before the judge to obtain the debt's release (libération de dette) and subsequently obtain an executory order.
Once the court hands down a final ruling, the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office delivers an execution order or a winding-up petition (commination de faillite).
This winding-up petition enables the creditor to send the court a request for bankruptcy. Upon receipt of this request, the court will fix a hearing and send a written notice to attend to both parties.
If no payment is effected by the debtor and the creditor does not withdraw his request, the court will declare the debtor company bankrupt.
Either a court of first instance or a district court hears legal procedures. Commercial courts, presided over by a panel of professional and non-professional judges, exist in four Germanic cantons: Aargau, Berne, Saint-Gall, and Zürich.
Once an appeal has been lodged with the cantonal court, as a last resort for claims exceeding 30,000 Swiss francs (CHF), cases are heard by the main federal judicial institution - the Swiss Federal Court (Tribunal fédéral Suisse / Schweizerisches Bundesgericht / Tribunale federale svizzero), which is located in Lausanne.
Enforcement of a legal decision
Domestic judgments are enforceable once final. The court typically awards compensatory damages and orders to seize and sell assets. Punitive damages are not granted.
Switzerland's domestic courts rapidly enforce court decisions falling under the scope of bilateral or multilateral reciprocal recognition and enforcement treaties - such as those issued in EU countries or under the Lugano Convention (which concerns Norway, Denmark & Iceland). Decisions rendered outside Europe are obliged to follow Swiss exequatur proceedings.
Insolvency proceedings
Restructuring proceedings (Nachlassverfahren)
Restructuring proceedings can be initiated either by the debtor or the creditor. The administrator takes the necessary measures to prepare for the creditor and court approval of the composition agreement. An inventory is then taken, where all assets are valued. Approval of the agreement requires the affirmative vote of a quorum of either a majority of creditors representing two-thirds of the total debtors, or a quarter of the creditors representing three-quarters of the total debt. Once approved, the agreement must be confirmed by the Court. It then becomes valid and binding on all creditors of claims subject to the agreement.
Bankruptcy proceedings
A company may be declared bankrupt by the court and placed into bankruptcy proceedings if a creditor has successfully requested this, following a debtor's declaration that it is insolvent. The court will determine whether summary or ordinary proceedings should be applied, or whether bankruptcy proceedings will go ahead (if the assets are insufficient to cover the expected costs of proceedings). The Receiver then draws up an inventory. Summary proceedings are ordered if the proceeds of the assets are unlikely to cover the costs of ordinary proceedings. In this case, there are no creditors' meetings and the bankruptcy office will proceed to the liquidation and realisation of the assets, without the participation of the creditors.
If ordinary bankruptcy proceedings apply, the receiver publishes a notice of bankruptcy instructing all creditors and debtors to file their claims and debts within 30 days. This notice invites creditors to a first meeting (where they may appoint a private receiver instead of the state bankruptcy office) and a creditors' committee. A second meeting will be convened for the commencement or continuation of claims against third parties and to agree the method for realisation of the assets belonging to the bankruptcy estate.

Cowboys – Redskins Rivalry: One of the Best of All Times
Good Morning Cowboy Fans:
When the Dallas Cowboys joined the league as an expansion team in 1960, they have enjoyed much success on and off the field and have enjoyed an avid following in the state of Texas, the United States at large, and internationally as well. Since their beginning the Dallas Cowboys have also enjoyed a great rivalry with the Washington Redskins. It is a rivalry that is considered one of the best in all of sports, that continues to this day and that is very much a part of Dallas Cowboys history.
Clint Murchison, a Texas oil tycoon wanted to bring an NFL team to the state of Texas but didn't seem to be having much success. In 1958 he heard that the owner of the Washington Redskins, George Preston Marshall, was keen to sell his team. Murchison struck a deal for the team, however, just when the deal was about to be finalized Marshall changed the terms and a furious Murchison cancelled the deal outright. This was the precursor to what was soon to become a great sports rivalry. In the meantime, following a series of events, Murchison bought the rights to the Redskin's fight song, Hail to the Redskins from the songs composer (and Redskins band leader) who himself had had a falling out with Marshall. The $2500 Murchison paid for the rights would prove to be worth so much more. As Murchison wasn't having any luck buying a team he decided to start his own.
A proposition for an expansion team was presented to the National Football League owners. In order for the expansion team to become a reality it would have to meet unanimous approval from the owners. As it happened, all of the owners agreed to the expansion team except for one, George Preston Marshall. However, when Marshall discovered that Murchison had bought the rights to the Redskin's fight song his opinion changed and a deal was struck. In return for Marshall approving the expansion team Murchison returned the song. Cowboy's football became a reality and a rivalry was born.
When the Cowboys joined the league they were in a separate conference from the Redskins and played only once during the season. In 1961 they were placed in the same division and from that point on they have played each other twice every regular season. A rivalry that had its beginnings behind the scenes didn't take long to present itself on the field and by 1972 the rivalry was in full swing. That year the two teams faced off in the NFC Championship game. The Redskins were victorious and went on to claim Super Bowl victory over the Miami Dolphins. Two other great games of note between the two rivals happened in more recent times.
In 2005 with the Dallas Cowboys dominating the play and leading the game 13-0 with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Washington Redskins made a comeback scoring two touchdowns to win the game. In 2006 the two rivals played one of the craziest games in their history that was called the "Hand of God" game. With the game tied, and only 31 seconds to go, the Redskins missed on a 49-yard field goal attempt. The Cowboys then worked their way into field goal range. With only seconds left on the clock the 35-yard field goal was blocked. The runback of the recovered block along with a facemask penalty assessed to the Cowboys provided the Redskins with another field goal attempt on the 47-yard line with no time left. On this attempt the Redskins were good and claimed the victory.
Between them, the Cowboys and Redskins have won thirty-one NFC Eastern Division championships and eight Super Bowls. The Cowboys edge out the Redskins in the latter category having claimed the title of Super Bowl Champions, five times. The overall record between these two rivalries consists of 55 Dallas wins, 36 Washington wins and two ties. The Redskins have beaten the Cowboys twice in post season play. Sports rivalries are a serious matter that once established take on a life of their own.
The Dallas Cowboys-Washington Redskins rivalry has spurned great competition and resulted in great success for both teams over a span of forty-seven years. It is a rivalry that is sure to continue for another forty years, and counting.
So this Sunday, when the "hated Redskins" come to "Big D" let's take a moment, stare up at the "Ring of Honor" and remember all the great players that have made the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry what it is today.
Go Cowboys!!

Click Here for the IX Water website
IX Power was formed to integrate established engineering and recent technological innovations to provide baseload power and clean water for developing regions and emerging economies around the world.
We're passionate about people, power, potable water, and the environment.
Baseload electric power and clean water are the "great equalizers." They are the foundations upon which societies are built. Sufficient power and clean water are national security issues, both for those countries with an abundant supply and those without.
If a community does not have access to adequate power and clean water, it cannot advance sufficiently to become independent from subsidies provided by more developed communities and countries that may have dubious political reasons for supporting developing countries. This puts stress on the global economy.
Clean water and baseload power comprise the most basic health infrastructure. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), over 2.2 million deaths each year are attributed to diarrhea caused by dirty water. Additionally, 1.8 million children under the age of five succumb to water-borne diseases, equating to an infant dying every 20 seconds from dirty water.
Power and water are inextricably linked. The production of power requires water while the treatment and distribution of water is equally dependent upon available and affordable power.
The basic essentials of water and power also allow a community to create a more advanced infrastructure that will foster improved education, trade and commerce, industry, communications, and ultimately a stable political system. In turn, these assets promote a society that values its own culture, as well as the diversity in the world around them. Developed nations are, and should be, incentivized to help those less fortunate establish these essential assets for national and global security reasons.
IX Power (pronounced Nine Power) recognizes that establishing an appropriate type of energy to power conversion is not an easy task. IX Power has the expertise, tools, and experience to make these kinds of tasks easier and much more cost-effective than traditional approaches. We recognize the positive impact and opportunities provided to communities when they have clean, safe water and clean, safe power.
IX Power was formed to help communities obtain both of these key assets.
- IX Power provides technology-neutral analysis to determine which types of power production best meet a community's need
- We then bring appropriate global partners together to create a community-based solution
- And then provide the oversight necessary to achieve the desired results in the most effective manner possible.
IX Power is the convergence of power sources to create contextually appropriate solutions.

My Great Outdoors: Lauren's Middle Eastern BBQ
Name: Lauren
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Type of space: Backyard garden
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: My family hosted a backyard BBQ to celebrate my recent graduation. Since my Dad is Arabic, our menu was mostly Middle Eastern, including a huge batch of lemony homemade hummous, tabbouleh, lentil salad, olives, feta, falafel, kifta kabob (spiced meat), and turkey sausages. Our family is used to this kind of food but we knew it would be a treat for my friends.
How did you create it? We spent a few hours the night before squeezing lemons from our tree, removing parsley stems, and getting all the salads ready. We picked up some fabric from a fabric store to use as a table cloth and loaded up on turquoise balloons, paper plates, and silverware. We made everything ourselves except the falafel, and the weather was perfectly sunny for a BBQ.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? We knew we had a big menu so in order to be efficient we bought 60 falafel from one of our favorite places in LA–Falafel Arax. It's in Little Armenia and a small family business with the best shawarma and falafel in town.

If you're looking to add brute power to that truck of yours, we've got what you need! The Brute force cold air intake system from AEM was specially designed for popular SUVs, trucks and muscle cars.
Brute Force aftermarket air intake systems are dyno-tuned and proven to add horsepower & torque on large engines. The plumbing is specially designed so that the filter pulls air from the coolest of locations within the engine compartment. The inlet pipe which carries the cool air is engineered with perfection, allowing more air to travel to the intake valves. Equipped with a powder coated steel shield, the high quality filter is protected from road dirt/grime as well as engine heat.
AEM Brute Force cold air intake systems are available for gas and diesel engines. The added horsepower and torque is what sets this performance intake system apart from the competition. So buy yours today and watch your engine perform the way you've always wanted.
Frequently Asked Questions
|What is "soft mount" and is it important?
|Most engines fluctuate when acceleration is applied, so the soft mounting system compensates for that motion. It is a link for the inlet pipe that sits between the engine and the body of a car. If the soft mount isn't installed correctly your intake pipe could essentially break.
|Why is aluminum used when making the intake piping?
|The issue of heat absorption with an intake system is quite valid, but they found that too much focus is placed on material selection and AEM focuses mainly on performance. The systems shape and diameter are unique and this is what most improves horsepower and torque. Here is a quick synopsis of why we use aluminum:
AEM performs engine inlet air temp studies when designing each system, determining the coolest area for inhaling cool air. They also determine the safest location for the source, protecting it from dust and water.
At light throttle opening, air speed and airflow at the inlet system are relatively low. The high residence time of air in the inlet while at low-throttle settings will increase inlet charge temps when materials with high thermal conductivity are used. Typically, when someone is at light throttle they are not asking the engine to make power. Most likely, fuel economy is the issue.
When the throttle is fully opened however, air speed and airflow increase considerably. Typically, the inlet air speed of a 5.7L engine with a four-inch duct at full throttle is 34 feet-per-second, based on a volumetric efficiency of 70% and an engine speed of 3,000 rpm. Most inlet systems for every intake manufacturer for this engine are 30 inches or less. This means that the air in the duct of a 30-inch inlet length on this engine at the given rpm is 1/10th of a second—hardly enough time to transfer an appreciable amount of heat into the air stream on any system.
Basically, the rate at which air travels through the inlet path under open throttle, when one is asking the engine for maximum power, negates the effect of material heat soak, regardless of the material. We hope that this helps to clear up the issues of material heat absorption in intake systems.
|How would I go about ordering a silver powdercoated system?
|The part numbers feature a 2 letter suffix at the end. The "D" at the end indicates that a Dry Flow filter is included (standard for all Brute Force Intakes), and a "C" indicates the silver powdercoat e.g. 21-800DC.
|What factory components does this system replace?
|The intake system replaces all components including the inlet, airbox and hoses. In some instances the breather hose is retained by AEM.
|Will a body lift kit affect the intake system?
|The body will affect the lift kit in a negative way, unless there was an engine lift mount installed for proper geometry. Most intakes mount to the throttle body and chassis and if the body is lifted it won't line up correctly.
|Will a suspension kit affect my intake system?
|A suspension kit will not affect the engine to chassis geometry and will not affect the fitment.
|What is a C.A.R.B. E.O. number?
|AEM intake systems carry or are pending approval for a California Air Resources Board Executive Order (CARB EO) number, exempting them from the prohibitions of California Vehicle Code (CVC) 27156, which states that you cannot modify your car in the area of the emission control system. The C.A.R.B. E.O. number allows you to legally install and use the AEM intake system on your truck.
|What is a power spacer and why isn't this system included into every kit?
|It is a plenum which installs between the throttle body and the intake manifold. In 5% of our applications, increasing the plenum increases power. AEM has tested the systems with different designs of power spacers and only include them in systems when they improve overall performance. These spacers provide a smooth internal design which adds power and does not whistle. They don't increase performance on every vehicle and are only made for the Brute Force, so AEM doesn't sell the spacer separately.
|How to order a polished system?
|These intake systems include a 2 letter suffix at the end. The "D" at the end of the suffix means that a Dry Flow filter is included (standard for Brute Force) and the "P" means polished finish e.g. 21-800DP.
|Will a Brute Force system void my vehicles warranty?
|The only time an AEM intake system will void your warranty is when there was an improper install. If a service technician tries to deny warranty because of one of these systems and the failure wasn't a direct result because of it, refer them to Magnusson Moss Warranty act. You can download here http://www.enjoythedrive.com/san.
|Is this system considered a cold air intake system?
|This isn't a cold air system by the traditional definition, but they are positioned to get the coolest air available on each application. AEM has implemented extensive testing to assure that the filter is positioned perfectly, sucking only the coolest air available.
|Why do some intake systems not include a heat shield?
|For some applications, they have found that there was no difference in the temperatures with or without the shield. And having a shield present when it's not needed would only waste your money.

On Christmas Eve, La Salle College High School in Wyndmoor provided young patients of Saint Christopher's Hospital in Northeast Philadelphia with a Christmas abundant with presents for the 10th consecutive year.
La Salle partnered with the Committee to Benefit the Children, a local nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and their families who suffer from cancer, leukemia, or a chronic blood disorder. Together, they raised $16,000 to supply Christmas presents for 69 needy patients in the Hermatology and/or Oncology departments.
Each of the patients and their siblings created a Christmas wish list in November. These wish lists were used to select and purchase gifts for each patient and their sibling(s), in total 176 children.
A wide variety of Christmas presents were purchased, wrapped, tagged, bagged and sorted for delivery to the needy recipients. Among these presents were iPods, sports equipment, clothing, video games and bicycles. Each of the patient's families was provided with a turkey and a bag of food along with a Shop Rite or Target gift card.
On Christmas Eve, students, members of the Alumni Association, Mothers Club, Men of La Salle, and La Salle faculty, organized the 897 gifts purchased for the children.
Sixty-one student volunteers, nine of which were dressed in full santa suits, divided into groups to deliver the presents to the homes of the patients' families.
"The students learned not to take Christmas for granted," said Chris Carabello, director of the project. "They also got to experience a family with a very sick child and what life is like for not only that child but for his parents and siblings. We were able to bring joy to that family and, hopefully, [help them] to forget about some of the sadness they experience often on a daily basis."

Nov. 10, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Following a 16-3-2 season which featured an Institute-record 13-game unbeaten streak and a runner-up finish at the NEWMAC Championship Tournament, the MIT men's soccer team earned an at-large bid for the upcoming NCAA Division III Championship Tournament. The Engineers will square off with St. Lawrence University, the Liberty League Champion, on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Amherst College at 11:00 a.m. The winner will take on either the host Lord Jeffs or Western New England College the next day at a time to be announced.
During the 2008 campaign, MIT's forward tandem of Christian Therkelsen and Zachary Kabelac has combined for 66 points, individually ranking second and third, respectively in the NEWMAC. Senior netminder Tom Caldwell shattered the Institute mark for shutouts in a season (nine) and a career (19). Under the direction of second-year head coach Milton Gooding, the Engineers have compiled a record of 25-8-4, including a 14-1-2 mark at home.
"I'm incredibly proud of the team's performance this season," said Gooding. "Making the NCAA Tournament is a wonderful achievement. The team has worked hard all year and we're looking forward to an exciting weekend."
MIT first qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2003 courtesy of an at-large bid. The Engineers received a first round bye and then overpowered Lasell College, 5-0, in second round action. The Cardinal and Gray outlasted host Williams College, 2-1, in overtime before falling to NEWMAC foe Wheaton College, 1-0, in the Elite Eight.

A domain name is a company's location on the Internet. When prospective customers see a premium domain name used by a business, it gives that business more credibility and authority. Hotels.com, Cars.com, and Apple.com are all brands that operate on premium domain names. Would you rather tell a customer your company can be found on Travels.com or Worldwide-Travel-Booking-Agency.com?
Having a premium domain name makes it easy for customers and prospects to remember for the next time they want to visit your business. This is also important when a client gives a referral to a friend or mentions your business on social media. Sharing your website on social media or in advertising campaigns is made easier with a premium domain name. Finally, don't underestimate the importance of your domain name when it comes to email addresses.
When your brand uses a premium domain name like this one, we think there is an added level of trust established between the brand and the customer. With this added trust, we believe a company's conversion and sale rates may improve. Don't you think this domain name will make you look like the authority in your field?
Even if a customer hasn't heard of your brand before, having a premium domain name can help strengthen the brand recognition of that company. Don't you think this domain name will resonate with your clients and prospects? Do not settle for anything but the best domain name you can afford to buy.
A premium domain name should retain its value and can be resold to someone else in the future. If the business doesn't succeed or if the company is sold, the domain name should hold value to someone else or to another company in that industry. The best domain names in the world sell for millions of dollars.
Based in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, Top Notch Domains, LLC prides itself on selling high value, premium domain names at fair prices. The company was founded by Elliot Silver in 2006, and it has bought and sold millions of dollars worth of domain names. Some of the premium domain names that have been sold by the company include 887.com, Arrangements.com, Aquamarine.com, BikeTours.com, Compost.com, Devices.com, FrenchRiviera.com, KJP.com, Newburyport.com, SHS.com, UsedBoats.com, YachtBroker.com, and thousands of other domain names.
We know the domain name transfer and payment process can be a bit cumbersome. Top Notch Domains, LLC promises to help domain name buyers through the escrow and domain name transfer process. The company will also provide the domain name purchase agreement for domain name sales. For added reassurance, the company offers several client testimonials, and additional references can be provided upon request.

"This is a very young team," said coach Bill Taylor. "We only had one senior competing today. We have a long way to go of course, but the competitiveness and team camaraderie I saw today is going to pay off big in raising our performance and in having fun being a team."
Jerkins, a freshman from Nashville, put the shot 45 feet, 3.75 inches for the victory. It was Alex's first collegiate meet, and his first competition ever using the heavier men's collegiate shot. Later in the day he finished sixth in his first ever weight throw competition with a toss of 36 feet 2.25 inches.
Kristin Ratzlaff, also a freshman, finished 11th in the weight throw with a toss of 27 feet, 10 inches and 13th in the shot put with a toss of feet 6 inches. Ratzlaff is a javelin thrower for Lipscomb in the outdoor season and is just learning to throw the shot and weight throw for the indoor season since the javelin is not contested indoors.
Another freshman, Steven Lindsey, finished second overall in the high jump, and first among collegiate competitors, clearing a height of 6 feet 6 inches in his first college competition. His jump is just an inch from his all time personal record.
"Obviously our field events really led the way," said Taylor. "Alex did great in the shot and Steven Lindsey is going to clear some big heights in the high jump this year. He almost had 6-8. I'm happy that our program is slowly filling out with other events."
Lipscomb also found success in the relay events. The women's distance medley relay of Jenny Randolph, Valerie Winkler, Shannon Shoemake and Caitlin Anderson finished second overall with a time of 13 minutes 16.27 seconds.
For the men, the Lipscomb A relay of Hunter Hethcoat, Brock Lutes, Clint Carter and Nathan Brame finished second overall, while the Lipscomb B relay of Trace Carlson, Ben Fennell, Paul Wright and Tyler Youngs finished third overall. Rounding out the relays, the men's 4x400 team of Michael Knox, Clint Carter, Dustin Little and Brock Lutes finished third overall with a time of 3:30.38.
"The relays were equally impressive," said Taylor. "The times were pretty good, but the way people fought for each other was very impressive. This really sets a tone for our program.
"I was very happy with our performances. It's less about the times and marks and more about the way we competed. Our distance runners haven't done a single day of quality training yet…it's been all aerobic base work. Yet, they came out and competed and did quite well for this early in the season."
The performance was even more impressive due to the number of competitors for Lipscomb's teams being reduced for a variety of reasons.
"We've had a few injuries, a few people got sick and others just weren't able to return from the winter break in time to compete," said Taylor. "In fact, I had to do some scrambling with our relay lineups, and three out of the four guys on the distance medley were alternates.
"The subs stepped in and competed very well. Our top distance runners for the men and women, Ryan Chastain and Carolyn Latham, didn't compete, but should be going next weekend at Southern Illinois."
Other finishes for the Bisons and Lady Bisons:
Men's 1 mile run: Hunter Hethcoat 4th 4:44.70, Chad Martin 5th 4:48.27, Cormac Carolan-Tolbert 6th 4:48.35
Women's 400m: Sequina Caro 29th 1:14.15
Men's 400m: Josh Baker 23rd 1:01.63
Men's 55m dash: Michael Knox 17th 6.75
Women's 800m: Laura Stewart 9th 2:33.35, Paloma Floden 15th 2:41.82
Men's 800m: Jonathan Williams 11th 2:03.50, Jeff Hoover 14th 2:06.04
Women's 200m: Sequina Caro 33rd 29.17
Men's 200m: Dustin Little 31st 24.64, Joey Lever 34th 25.83

Context, size, spacing (and the Cosmos) matter in the game of basketball
October 11, 2012 Leave a comment
Before moving forward I would like to address the entirety of the world that has had the (mis?)fortune of reading this blog. Have I been overly critical of Denver's front office? Yes. Unfairly so? Possibly, yes. Bordering on psychosis? Maybe. Much of this criticism–actually, no, all of this criticism–is rooted in the Nene for JaVale McGee swap. Trading a good player for a bad player is bad basketball. It's not because Nene was my favorite Nugget. It's not because I still have a man-crush on the Brazilian (even though I do). It's because trading an already good player for potential alone is foolish. I don't care how many games Nene sits due to minor injuries. Trading a heady, professional with high on and off-court I.Q. for the absolute opposite is insane. And anyone who says most teams in Denver's position would have done likewise is marking out. Period. JaVale McGee is not good. Nor will he ever become good. He, like J.R. Smith before him, doesn't have the mental fortitude or aptitude to turn his raw potential into the goldmine it could become. It's not Nene. It's never been about Nene. It's JaVale. It's just, JaVale. If a guy doesn't get "it" when he starts playing, he'll never get "it" at all. You can blame Washington and Ernie Grunfeld all you want, just know ahead of time that a player makes his situation. The environment doesn't have to make the player. Outside of a select few, every other Wizards teammate of JaVale's didn't have the same irrevocably disturbing habits. JaVale could have done better there in the same way he can do better here — starting with his eating habits. Having said that, I am also critical because I do not adjust to change very well–particularly change that manifests into JaVale McGee. Very few franchises have gone through as much change over the last decade as this one. In that same vein, very few franchises have also won as many games. It would be nice if the constant whirlwind of roster movement stopped for players, coaches, and fans alike. Just make sure to keep winning games, okay? And do something about JaVale. Winning doesn't get old. At least I don't think. JaVale already has.
When running a team in what is perceived to be one of the NBA's smallest markets, a front office has to be smarter than pretty much all of its competitors in order to attain and maintain excellence. Their margin for error is so nonexistent that it puts everything they do under a microscope. Mistakes can't happen. Draft picks must be thoroughly scrutinized. Potential trades require extensive discussion.
Throughout our study of Denver's involvement in the Dwight Howard trade, it seems as if Nuggets' management might not have abode by this proxy. As a result, they now have a roster chock-full of disjointed talent, skill overlap, little reliable shooting, and loads of athleticism. But boy, can they produce. They're like a fantasy team in their production capabilities. This is why a lot of very smart people are picking them as a dark horse candidate to dethrone the Thunder from the Western Conference's elite. They're taking Iguodala's career numbers as a Sixer, his rightfully warranted reputation as an all-world defender, coupling it with each individual Denver Nugget player's career production, taking the same model from each individual NBA member team, and combining it all into one nice, messy, long equation; and voila, 58-wins.
The problem with applying this equation to basketball is that basketball is a game played in space by ten individual actors at one time. Each of these actors is not subject to variance like you'd see in every other statistical simulation because they are doing more than driving the numbers. They are the numbers. These actors are human beings. Each human being is not alike. Some are taller. Some are broader. Some are longer. Some are more skilled. Some are smarter. Some are dumber. Some are more clumsy than the other. They're not a roll of the dice. They're not a stack of cards. A team of players is not constant. Human beings themselves are not constant. We are fluid. Literally.
There's a reason one player performs better or worse than another player in much the same way there's a reason we know not to touch a hot stove. There's a reason player A appears to be less efficient than player B. If player A's teammates are not very good, he will have less space to apply his craft, and thus, appear to be inefficient in doing so. But we do not count a player's teammates in each individual assessment. Because that would make the already insanely complex even more-so. That's not random variance. That's not a flaw in the player. That's a flaw in the system by which each individual player is measured and, by extension, expected to perform. Spacing matters. Size matters. Context matters.
Player size is just one of many variables that influence the box score. When Pau Gasol is able to tower over Kenneth Faried for a rebound despite a fundamentally sound box-out by the Manimal, no one really notices. Faried earned himself a double-double in the box score, after all. When David Lee has the ball on the high-post and is looking down on Faried, Lee's chances of making a simple jump-shot increase ten-fold because there is very little impeding his line of site to the rim. No one really notices this, though, because Faried's going to put up 15-and-10. The fact he can't stop an opposing player due to his size matters little. Production. Production. Production.
When Ty Lawson faces a hard hedge on a pick-and-roll that becomes a double-team and he turns the ball over because he's not big enough or long enough to pass out of it, no one really notices. The box score shows he played great. When Kenneth Faried can't stop an opposing player in space because he doesn't take up enough of it, no one really notices. All they see is the 12-and-10. When Jerry Sloan inserts big man Kyrylo Fesenko into his starting lineup for game two of Denver's 2010 first round playoff series against the Utah Jazz and the whole kit and caboodle turns in Utah's favor, no one really notices. The box score says Nene played great and Fesenko proved ineffective. Nene produced, after all. It must mean he's a center.
If you watch the Denver Nuggets as closely as I do you'd see these guys playing as hard as they possibly can. You can see and hear as Kenneth Faried screams in anguish during a box-out where he's surrounded by two and three players twice his size against the Oklahoma City Thunder. You can see as Ty Lawson drives the lane against the Los Angeles Clippers only to be surrounded by a crowd of human flesh three-times his size hell-bent on keeping him from the rim. You can see the difficulty with which Lawson is faced when attempting his set jump-shot against a towering opponent's close-out. People don't understand the task Denver's management is asking of these players–Lawson and Faried in particular. In a game overflowing with Goliaths, Denver is intent on running David into the ground. It makes me uncomfortable seeing such undersized players be asked to do so much.
Sure, they are professional athletes. But even the most finely-tuned athlete cannot make up for disparities in size. Play Ty Lawson 35+ minutes per night and see his body wear down from the unending punishment he's likely to endure. Lawson puts his body on the line more than any player I've seen in a Nuggets uniform since Iverson. Play Kenneth Faried 35+ minutes per night and watch a young man's body detonate before your very eyes. A player can only withstand so much before breaking down.
This is basketball. Basketball is a sport. An athletic competition between a team of individuals. When a wide-receiver towers over an undersized cornerback to grab a football, a color commentator is quick to point out how smart the quarterback was in picking out a matchup advantage and attacking it. When Kevin McHale's Houston Rockets come out in April of last year and pound the ball into Luis Scola at the game's outset because Kenneth Faried has little chance of stopping him, no one notices. After all, Faried put up 10-and-11 the night before against the very same team, right? That he could not contain Scola either night isn't mentioned. Context matters. Spacing matters. Size matters.
Size matters just as much in basketball as it does in every other sport sans golf and tennis. And maybe ice-fishing. When the two most important players on a basketball team are as undersized at their positions as Lawson and Faried, you're giving yourself no chance of competing against the league's elite. And if people don't understand how Lawson and Faried are undersized at their positions, I cannot help them. It's basketball. One undersized player per rotation is fine. Two? You're just asking for trouble. Production over size is foolhardy seeing as the very game they play is defined by the space in which it is contested. This isn't rocket science. It's simply physics. Inches matter.
I'm sure many will disagree. Many will say the game is defined by the scoreboard. Which is true. But what appears on the scoreboard is defined by what happens on the floor. And what happens on the floor is defined by the space in which it is played. The space in which it is played dictates how each individual actor engages in the activity. And what defines each individual actor is size, speed, skill, and smarts. Nothing is as simple as it seems. Especially not basketball.
With that said, one thing you have to do after a major trade before moving forward is take inventory; see what you've given up, see what you've added to replace it, and then see what's remaining to build around. That is all I have done over the last few weeks with the Denver Nuggets. They gave up a young, competent, insanely efficient, first-in-his-class shooting guard, for an all-world defender, first-in-his-class facilitator, and what history suggests to be a 'meh' shooter. History, like anything (including myself), can be very, very wrong from time-to-time.
My biggest fear is Denver nullified the trade's potential success by moving the only player who makes Andre Iguoadala the player he is, while further hampering Danilo Gallinari's growth as a point-forward. Throughout his career, Andre Iguodala has had the luxury of being surrounded by great shooters like Kyle Korver, Jason Kapono, Jrue Holiday, and Elton Brand. These are players who may not have always excelled from three, even though there were many, but did so from mid-range as well. As such, one reason Iggy's assist rate is so high is because of those shooters. This theory could be false. Danilo Gallinari's assist rate rose six points last year to a career high and it's not like the Nuggets had a treasure trove of shooters. Well, except for the one. However, if Denver was going to trade anyone for Andre Iguodala, it should have been Gallinari, as Iguodala's addition negates Gallo's utility to a certain extent. The problem isn't that Iguodala has no one to pass to. The problem is that Iguodala doesn't have the shooters and floor-spacers he's accustomed to. Arron Afflalo was one of those shooters.
Don't be mistaken. Denver can, and likely will, still win some games. And they can win a whole hell of a lot of them. All is not lost (even though my doom and gloom over the last several months has made it seem so. I might be kind of nuts). I did, after all, pick them to miss the playoffs(!?).
In order to win, though, Denver's coaching staff must take great pains in building lineups that complement each individual player on their roster. This is eminently more difficult than it seems because Denver is so undersized (at the game's two most critical positions), there's so much overlap in skill following the Afflalo-for-Iguodala swap, and two players for which they may be reliant are not up to par in the intelligence department. Player production isn't something you pull out of a hat. Everything that happens on the floor dictates each individual's stat-line. There's a reason behind everything. Space matters. Size matters. Context matters.
There aren't many games decided on player instinct alone. There are even fewer as complex as basketball. A baseball player knows exactly where he's going to go when he knocks a hit into the outfield. Likewise, an outfielder knows before a pitch where he's going to throw the ball if and when it comes his way. Basketball is not baseball. That's why I love it. It's totally and unabashedly random (with certain caveats). But that's also why so few people actually get it. There are so many variables at play. A team can't be built in a test-tube. Except, it kind of is.
I'll reveal my test tube in the coming days and show you how the Denver Nuggets can force me into writing a public apology to Arturo Galletti of the Wages of Wins Network by winning over 47-games.
Until then, here's a preview:

Pinkcloud, a Danish design collective, have released their vision for new urban models in the Chinese city of Shanghai. The proposal looks at taking the existing city plan and flipping it to create a new vertical typology. By turning the city on its side Pinkcloud looks to demonstrate how the city will increase in density by utilising 'urban voids' that currently exist within the city's plan. In this new urban density, green space and new community meeting points will be added, helping to develop the social agenda that the Flip/City model hopes to instil.
The Flip/City proposal looks at promoting sustainability through several means: through the development of social integration and community bridging; the potential of economic growth for the inhabitants; and transport infrastructure and renewable energy systems for the city blocks. Encouraging the increased connection of social and cultural ties leads to the development of the urban voids for social means, the addition of these new green spaces aims at improving the lives of the citizens and by using these 'dead' spaces reduces these wasted plots found in dense urban environments. The architects explain: "In the realm of social sustainability, the anonymous feeling of immense cities is challenged by interconnecting typically isolated diverse city zones."
By challenging the horizontal nature of the city and adapting it into a new vertical system, essential infrastructure no longer needs to sprawl as wide as the city does. With the Flip/City model, Pinkcloud propose that it will reduce the city in scale, allowing everything to be accessible in walking distance with the careful arrangement of residential, commercial, education and cultural facilities.
The proposal looks to recycle grey water from the Suzhou Creek to provide water to the inhabitants. Solar and wind energy will provide the means for heating and cooling of the spaces proposed. These methods would allow the city model to run whilst reducing its environmental impact. Pinkcloud's interesting take on urban development re-thinks how we perceive the typology of the city and this model in the culturally, economically and socially rich city of the Shanghai looks at carefully addressing the need to develop but maintain these important characteristics of the city.

The so-called "fiscal cliff" deal in Congress includes an extension of the R&D tax credit, but, once again, sidestepped any move to make it permanent.
This lack of permanency has kept the research and development tax credit in a constant state of flux, though Congress has consistently extended it since 1981.
The latest tax credit expired on Dec. 31, 2011. But Congress this week made it retroactive for 2012 and extended it for 2013.
"The fact that the R&D credit was a cornerstone of the fiscal cliff package bodes well for the industry," said Kevin Richards, senior vice president of federal government affairs at TechAmerica, an industry group. "But we're going to continue to underscore the need for permanency because we think there is a direct correlation between U.S. competitiveness and job creation."
TechAmerica says extending the wind energy tax credit is also important to the technology industry.
Google, for instance, has announced plans to buy wind power to help supply a data center it runs in Oklahoma.
The wind power tax credit had expired and the alternative energy industry was pessimistic about its prospects.
The action taken by Congress extends the tax credit for all wind projects that start construction in 2013. The American Wind Energy Association said the credit will save up to 37,000 jobs.
About 75,000 are currently employed in the industry.
In other actions important to tech, as well as other industries, was an extension of 50% bonus depreciation for capital expenditures through 2013.

Healthy computing incorporates optimum WORKSTYLE, ERGONOMICS, MIND/BODY
AND POSITIVE WORK SETTING in a system perspective
while working at the computer. The integration of the eight
components improves health, decreases discomfort and increases
performance. The eight components are illustrated by the common
activity of walking.
Work Style describes the way you proceed with walking. Do you pace
yourself so that you can finish your walk without exhaustion? Do you stop
to take a breather? Do you relax your leg muscles as you shift from side
to side, getting into the rhythm of walking?
Ergonomics describes your shoes. Are they appropriate for the type of
walk you are embarking upon? (Ever try jogging in high heels?) Do they fit
comfortably so as to avoid blisters and chafing?
Mind/Body (Somatic) Awareness is listening to your body and following
your inner voice. Do you stop to drink water when you are thirsty? If
your heart is racing, do you slow down? When you feel warmth in your
feet, do you stop to change socks to avoid a blister?
Stress Management is taking care of situations as they arise and not
forcing yourself to do too much or getting bored from doing too little. Do
you tell your walking companions that an advanced trail is too difficult
for you or that the slow pace is not challenging? Do you let them know
that you would prefer to listen quietly to nature as you walk rather than
talk during the entire trek?
Regeneration is allowing your body to rest and not pushing yourself to
the point of exhaustion. Do you stop when you feel like you're getting
tired, before you become exhausted? Do you give your body time to
recuperate after pushing your limits with a short rest or a walk?
Vision Care includes exercising your eyes and wearing appropriate
eyewear. Do you alternate between looking at distant and close objects? Do
you wear sunglasses when walking in the bright daylight? Do you wear a
visor to protect your eyes from glare? Do you stumble on the rocky path
because you need prescription glasses?
Fitness includes stretching, strengthening, and movement. Do you warm
up slowly as you begin your walk? Do you gently stretch after you are
done? Do you exercise or cross train during the week to prepare for your
next hike?
Do you have a group of friends with whom you exercise? When you lack
motivation do your friends encourage you to exercise? Do you get together
with your friends for fun other than hiking?

STUTTGART, Ark. — Some Arkansas farmers who water-seeded rice into fields that have been flooded since last fall for duck hunting have experienced problems getting the rice to produce a good stand, says Chuck Wilson, rice specialist with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service.
Wilson said the problem appears to be caused by algae growing in the water. The algal blooms deplete oxygen in the water, preventing rice seed from surviving.
Normally, rice seedlings take oxygen from the water until their leaves can emerge and start drawing oxygen from the air. The plants then pump oxygen down into the roots to help them survive a flooded environment, according to Wilson.
"I don't see this problem every year," he said. He believes it's related to environmental conditions, especially cold weather.
The main reason farmers hold water on fields over the winter is to attract waterfowl. "For a lot of farmers, hunting leases are a big portion of their income," Wilson said.
Wilson said farmers roll down the straw left in the fields after harvest, then they flood the fields. This attracts ducks, which eat white rice and the seed of red rice, which have been left in the field after harvest.
The flooding also helps control winter weeds and saves farmers from having to re-flood fields in the spring if they're going to water-seed. But Wilson discourages using this water for water-seeding.
"The point of water-seeding is to control red rice, a serious weed problem. That's one reason they don't want to drain the water, because it prevents weeds from coming up. The red rice seed in the soil won't germinate through the soil and water.
"Farmers are trying to conserve water for water-seeding, but using 'winter water' creates problems when certain conditions allow algae to thrive," Wilson said.
"In one field I looked at, the farmer had a considerable amount of algae and rice stubble left in the field after last year's crop was harvested," Wilson noted. "The farmer tried to water-seed it in the spring. Some of it sprouted, but it couldn't push through a thick algae mat on the surface. A large amount of seed simply died after sprouting because of a lack of oxygen. The farmer didn't have a good stand of rice."
Wilson compared the problem to some bodies of water in northwest Arkansas where algae blooms have removed oxygen, killing fish.
Rice farmers in California have experienced similar problems and discontinued the practice of water-seeding into "winter water," Wilson said. He said Arkansas farmers should drain winter water in late February or early March, dry out the fields thoroughly, then re-flood and seed into the fresh water.
Farmers who didn't plant rice by water-seeding, have experienced different weed control problems this spring. "It's been a challenging year, so far, to fight weeds."
Meanwhile, Wilson said March estimates of a 1.42-million acre rice crop may be conservative. Since that figure was released by the Arkansas Agricultural Statistics Service, the futures price of rice has steadily risen over the last several weeks, which has probably spurred more planting, Wilson said.
Lamar James is an Extension communications specialist with the University of Arkansas.

This is why I keep getting injured - I feel like everything's a rush, like I need to do as much as I can before the next flare hits. Which pretty much guarantees I'll have to take several days to heal, whereas working within my limits would enable me to do something every day, yet, there's this sense of urgency. I call it Living Under the Shoe (as in waiting for the other show to drop).ReplyDelete
That's exactly how I feel. It seems like we only have so long until we can't do things anymore. I have no intention of slowing down and missing out on all the things I love, because of RA.ReplyDelete
I love hiking and exploring. If/when the time comes that I can't do that anymore, I don't know what'll happen.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 10, 2010) - Junior first baseman Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) continued to add to his accolades on Thursday as he was named the Atlantic Sun Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, announced the Atlantic Sun conference office.
"What a great honor for Paul," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole. "He couldn't be more deserving as every day he displays excellence in the classroom and in the competitive arena. As a student/athlete at the Division I level, I believe this award represents the highest honor one can receive."
"As a department, we are extremely proud of not only how Paul competes on the field, but how he represents the highest ideals of what it means to be a student athlete," said ETSU Director of Athletics Dave Mullins. "Paul is a great athlete and student. We appreciate the attention that he brings to the program, and wish him continued success in his academic and athletic careers.
The junior polished off a stellar season after leading the Bucs to a second-straight appearance in the A-Sun Tournament in 2010. He led the A-Sun with a .421 batting average and 25 home runs. A two-time First Team All-Atlantic Sun selection, Hoilman garnered several accolades in 2010, including being named a Louisville Slugger First Team All-American and semifinalist for the prestigious Golden Spikes Award. He currently holds the ETSU school records for home runs (51) and RBI (197).
"To be selected as the scholar-athlete of the year in your respective conference is about as good as it gets," Skole added. "There are so many tremendous student/athletes (in all sports) in the Atlantic Sun Conference, and for Paul earn this recognition is quite an accomplishment. Paul represents what is great about college athletics, and he truly is the total package. Paul has the unique ability to make everyone (teammates, coaches and peers) around him a better person."
A mathematics major, Hoilman owns a 3.93 overall GPA, and plans to attend medical school following graduation. A three-time A-Sun All-Academic selection, Hoilman also earned First-Team Academic All-America honors from CoSIDA and ESPN The Magazine.

Obama: Russia miscalculated in Ukraine
March 26, 2014
BRUSSELS (AP) — President Barack Obama says Russia's leadership miscalculated if it thought the world wouldn't care about its actions in Ukraine. He says Russia was mistaken if it thought it could drive a wedge between the U.S. and the European Union.
Obama is speaking at a news conference with EU leaders in Brussels. He says the U.S. and Europe stand united on the issue.
Obama says Russia stood alone at the United Nations and in other global venues in defending its actions in Ukraine. He says if Russia continues with aggression in Ukraine, Russia's isolation will deepen. He's promising increased sanctions and growing consequences.
Obama says coordination between the U.S. and Europe on economic sanctions against Russia has been excellent.

Nicole Kidman to Congress: Violence Against Women is Unacceptable
Nicole Kidman, Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), speaks during the "International Violence Against Women: Stories and Solutions" hearing at Rayburn House Office Building on Wednesday (October 21) in Washington, D.C.
"Violence against women is not prosecuted because it is not a top government and urgent social priority. We can change this," the 42-year-old Aussie actress told Congress. "[They] need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women's rights are human rights."
FYI: Nicole is wearing a 3.1 Phillip Lim dress.
