Yale Travels to No. 16 Dartmouth Seeking Second Ivy League Win
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – In its last two games, the Yale women's lacrosse team proved that it can play with some of the top teams in the country. Wednesday's 11-9 win at No. 13 BU came on the heels of a narrow 7-5 loss to No. 7 Penn last Saturday. There is no let-up in the schedule for the Bulldogs, as they travel to Hanover to take on No. 16 Dartmouth at 1 p.m.
Yale (4-4, 1-1 Ivy League) has had four straight games decided by two goals or fewer, and the Bulldogs have won three of him. Sophomore goalkeeper Whitney Quackenbush (Manhasset, N.Y.) has been the difference maker, making 39 saves in those four games while Yale's opponents have made just 15. Quackenbush is coming off a career-high 16-save effort vs. BU, which raised her save percentage to .540. It was the most saves in a game by a Yale goalie since Amanda Laws '03 also stopped 16 in a 15-9 win over Vanderbilt Mar. 14, 2003.
Junior midfielder/defender Kaitlyn Flatley (Berwyn, Pa.) has also played a key role defensively, with six of her 11 caused turnovers for the season coming in the last four games. She also has seven goals and an assist in that span. The Bulldogs have gradually been adding offensive weapons, as eight different players have scored goals in the last three games. Sophomore attacker Caroline Crow (Davidson, Md.) had her first career hat trick Wednesday vs. BU, and junior midfielder Logan Greer (Berwyn, Pa.) scored her first goal of the season in that game. Senior attacker Jenna Block (Owings Mills, Md.) had a four-point game against the Terriers, the most points she has had in a game since a five-point effort vs. Wagner last April.
Freshman midfielder Devon Rhodes (East Northport, N.Y.) leads Yale in goals (14), assists (7), points (21) and draw controls (12). She's also one of four different Bulldogs with a game-winning goal, a list that also includes Crow, Flatley and junior attacker Myra Trivellas (Chadds Ford, Pa.).
After a season-opening 9-8 loss at New Hampshire, Dartmouth (4-1, 1-0 Ivy League) has been on quite a roll. The Big Green has won four in a row, outscoring its opponents 66-21. Dartmouth is coming off a convincing 17-10 win at No. 6 Syracuse, and the Big Green's last Ivy League game was a 15-1 thrashing of Columbia at Scully-Fahey Field. Combine that with a 22-2 win over Vermont earlier in the year in Hanover and it's clear that Dartmouth has enjoyed its home-field advantage.
Dartmouth is second in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 6.00 goals per game. Only Penn (5.50) is better. Dartmouth's goalies have faced just 68 shots on goal, in part because Dartmouth's opponents have trouble hanging on to the ball. The Big Green has 58 caused turnovers, led by nine from midfielder Sarah Plumb and eight each from defender Shannie MacKenzie and midfielder Greta Meyer.
The Big Green beat Yale 8-6 last year at Reese Stadium, snapping a string of three straight wins in the series by the Bulldogs. The game was tied 4-4 after a goal by senior attacker Jessica Sturgill (Ellicott City, Md.) early in the second half, but Dartmouth scored three straight goals to take control. Yale was hurt by giving up 10 free position shots (four of which led to goals) while getting only two. But overall it was one of the Bulldogs' best defensive performances -- only BU, Duke, Penn and Princeton held the Big Green to eight or fewer goals last year.
Meyer had two goals vs. the Bulldogs last year and attacker Kat Collins had three. The five-foot-11 Collins, who was an All-Northeast selection last season, is one of three Dartmouth players on the Tewaaraton Award Watch List. She is joined by midfielder/defender Colleen Olsen, a second team All-Region pick in 2009, and goalie Julie Wadland. Wadland's .545 save percentage tops the Ivy League right now, five percentage points ahead of Quackenbush.

Big Bash Banquet a Big Hit!by Jim Amidon • June 5, 2004 Share:
Bob Johnson receives his 50th reunion medallion from President Andy Ford
The evening began with a cocktail reception and later dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, President Ford H'03and Alumni Director Tom Runge '71 presented 1954 Class Agent Bob Johnson with his 50th reunion medallion. Johnson then read the names of everyone of his classmates who returned to campus, while President Ford gave each man his medallion.
The fun was just getting started. Johnson and 1954 Class Gift Chairman John Proffitt then presented Ford with his own gift: a class gift check of $3.5 million for the Campaign for Leadership.
The evening ended with alumni and their spouses dancing to the sounds of the Windy City Swing Band.

NEW YORK -- The NFL's conference championship game television viewership is down from last season.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Three of the four teams were the same in 2013 from a year ago. But the 2012 title games stayed closer for longer.
Last season's AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens came down to the final seconds of regulation, and the NFC championship Game between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers went to overtime.
The Ravens pulled away from the Patriots in the fourth quarter Sunday in their rematch, while the 49ers' win over the Atlanta Falcons was decided in the final minutes.
The 2012 AFC championship on CBS in the early slot drew 48.7 million viewers; Sunday's game had 47.7 million viewers in the late slot. Last year's NFC title game on Fox was watched by 57.6 million people in the late slot, while this season's was seen by 42 million in the early slot.

C# Interview Questions(91-100)
What is the wildcard character in SQL?
Let us say you want to query database with LIKE for all employees whose name starts with La. The wildcard character is %, the proper query with LIKE would involve La%.
What is the role of the DataReader class in ADO.NET connections?
It returns a read-only dataset from the data source when the command is executed.
What does the This window show in the debugger?
It points to the object that is pointed to by this reference. Object's instance data is shown.
Describe the accessibility modifier protected internal?
It is available to derived classes and classes within the same Assembly (and naturally from the base class it is declared in).
What is an interface class?
It is an abstract class with public abstract methods all of which must be implemented in the inherited classes.
What is a multicast delegate?
It is a delegate that points to and eventually fires off several methods.
How does one compare strings in C#?
In the past, you had to call .ToString() on the strings when using the == or != operators to compare the strings' values. That will still work, but the C# compiler now automatically compares the values instead of the references when the == or != operators are used on string types. If you actually do want to compare references, it can be done as follows: if ((object) str1 == (object) str2) { … } Here's an example showing how string compares work: using System;
public class StringTest
public static void Main(string[] args)
Object nullObj = null;
Object realObj = new StringTest();
int i = 10;
Console.WriteLine("Null Object is [" + nullObj + "]n" +
"Real Object is [" + realObj + "]n" +
"i is [" + i + "]n");
// Show string equality operators
string str1 = "foo";
string str2 = "bar";
string str3 = "bar";
Console.WriteLine("{0} == {1} ? {2}", str1, str2, str1 == str2 );
Console.WriteLine("{0} == {1} ? {2}", str2, str3, str2 == str3 );
Output: Null Object is []
Real Object is [StringTest]
i is [10]
foo == bar ? False
bar == bar ? True
What does assert() do?
In debug compilation, assert takes in a Boolean condition as a parameter, and shows the error dialog if the condition is false. The program proceeds without any interruption if the condition is true.
How do I get deterministic finalization in C#?
In a garbage collected environment, it's impossible to get true determinism. However, a design pattern that we recommend is implementing IDisposable on any class that contains a critical resource. Whenever this class is consumed, it may be placed in a using statement, as shown in the following example:
using(FileStream myFile = File.Open(@"c:temptest.txt",
int fileOffset = 0;
while(fileOffset < myFile.Length) { Console.Write((char)myFile.ReadByte()); fileOffset++; } } When myFile leaves the lexical scope of the using, its dispose method will be called. How can I get around scope problems in a try/catch?
If you try to instantiate the class inside the try, it'll be out of scope when you try to access it from the catch block. A way to get around this is to do the following: Connection conn = null;
conn = new Connection();
if (conn != null) conn.Close();
By setting it to null before the try block, you avoid getting the CS0165 error (Use of possibly unassigned local variable 'conn').
Why do I get an error (CS1006) when trying to declare a method without specifying a return type?
If you leave off the return type on a method declaration, the compiler thinks you are trying to declare a constructor. So if you are trying to declare a method that returns nothing, use void. The following is an example: // This results in a CS1006 error public static staticMethod (mainStatic obj) // This will work as wanted public static void staticMethod (mainStatic obj)

Podcast darling Elizabeth Laime muses about drunken poodle purchases, being at the bottom of a cheerleading pyramid, reconnecting with your junior high crush… and the heartbreak of loss when it visits you young. This could be considered a three-tissue episode.
The JV Club #27: Elizabeth Laime
Man every time I hear you tell the story about your parents passing…gets me every time. Such a powerful and wonderful episode. Loved hearing you both at the end saying you loved each other. 🙂 thx for the tears and smiles!
Despite having heard a few of these stories in part before due to being a big Totally Laime fan this was a truly excellent podcast. I don't have anything insightful to add to the discussion here but just wanted to thank you for producing another episode which walks the line between comedy and genuine examination of the human condition.
Oh, and there was Another well-produced and -advertised web series that started at about the same time as BURNING LOVE, not quite as good, but with its points…including this short series about sexual harassment (and worse) of women in the military…WIGS:
The part about Elizabeth asking her husband if he felt like he had known her parents was heart-wrenching. Even setting aside the trauma of losing both of them, that notion of not being able to share that relationship with someone else who you feel is just as special is really scary.
And thanks to both of you for being able to take the conversation to vulnerable places like that.
"Some of the stuff talked about are things I (as a man) will never experience[…]"
Never assume, Tyler. You might only rarely, or luckily never, feel threatened in that way, but men can be raped or otherwise harassed…and women can be predators (even if many more and most of the worst are men…who, obviously, can turn their unwelcome attention to men). And many of the women are predating (perhaps while simply arguing they're simply dating, in some instances) boys and girls…as well as other adults.
Sorry you've had to endure what you've had to endure, Janet and Elizabeth (and Monia and other folks who might read this), and glad you weren't messed with more or worse as well, when you weren't. (You couldn't be reading this if you faced the worst possible things, but no one needs the worst to have happened to have been horribly wronged and deserving sympathy, to say the least.)
And there are worse things than having a podcast about women having made their way to what they want to do with their lives, often overcoming various sort of tough or nasty obstacles, be termed as feminist…
Good show. Thanks.
My heart broke when Elizabeth talked about her parents. I think it's great that they found each other in the end. I don't think I have the words to say because I have been fortunate enough to not have gone through such a bad event but my heart is just sank. Thank you Elizabeth Laime for the story.
The passing away of Elizabeth's parents is so heart-wrenching, it's really uplifting and powerful to hear her so funny and life-affirming. I appreciate the open sharing of emotions and personal histories. A wonderful episode to listen to.
I don't know why but I've been liking the past few episodes alot. Thanks Janet/ more formal name of recognition.
So I've finished the podcast since my last post and I'm writing this comment through teary eyes. Janet, your podcasts always have amazing ability to weave in and out of different topics and I swear I go through a complete range of emotions while listening to the stories of you and your guests. As a listener, i'm so grateful that you all feel comfortable enough to share your lives with us on a weekly basis.
What an episode. I feel like I just went on a really draining, but incredibly satisfying road trip. Some of the stuff talked about are things I (as a man) will never experience, but I really admire the courage it took to discuss these things. Thank you so much to the both of you for putting this out here.
I can't wait until my niece is old enough to listen to podcasts, because I'd be proud if she had role models like Janet and Elizabeth.
I sometimes put podcasts on my ipod to listen at work, I'm so grateful that I didn't do that for this one, I'm still crying. This was such an emotional but amazing podcast. You do such a good job Janet. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth, you are so remarkable.
On the topic of high school sweethearts – My parents are the prototypical couple. They are the small-town quarterback and the blonde cheerleader who started dating in high school and throughout all of college. They're still married and whatnot, but it doesn't stop me from giving them crap.
Such a funny yet moving yet funny again podcast. Thanks to you both.
You ladies were spot on about high school sweethearts! My parents met and dated in high school, got married, had kids etc. They were married for 26 years and recently divorced. I hadn't really thought of it before, but they really have turned into 21 year old bachelors. I think they feel like they have to make up for the college years of sleeping around and serial dating.
Just thank you Janet!
-signed, a laimewad
P.s. Emily Gordon next maybe??
And now I'm at the end of the show and I'm crying at work listening to Elizabeth's story. So heartwrenching.
Thank you for the frank discussion on sexual predators and assault. Seriously. Thank you. I really needed to hear that. I've been getting blindsided by so much hate by people who don't think it's an issue at all and trivialize it…I'm glad to get to hear two wonderful women talk about this frankly.
Also, I'd highly recommend "The Invisible War" about sexual assault in the military. I believe it's in theatres now. Incredibly enlightening to the numbers and how fucked up the system is. I'll look into the webseries you mentioned, too.

NASHVILLE, Tenn - A new contract to process 1,000 tons of nuclear waste from Germany has environmental activists concerned that the town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee could become a prime destination for the world's nuclear trash.
The city in east Tennessee was founded by scientists who were developing the atomic bomb during World War II. It continues to be a center for the nuclear industry.
It has processed nuclear waste for decades, including some from Britain and Canada. But the large German contract, its first from continental Europe, marks a significant expansion and has raised eyebrows.
"With current regulatory conditions, there is nothing stopping really great quantities of radioactive waste materials from coming from all over the world to be processed in Tennessee," says Don Safer, chairman of the board of the Tennessee Environmental Council, said on Tuesday.
The expansion comes at a time of heightened global concern about nuclear energy after the earthquake and the radioactive releases from damaged reactors in Japan. Since the Japan earthquake, Germany has decided to phase out its nuclear power industry by 2022 because of concerns about safety.
The company that processes the nuclear waste, Utah-based EnergySolutions LLC, said that under the German contract it will process residue from hospitals mainly by shrinking the volume a factor of 200-to-1, and then sending it back to Germany. The residue will begin arriving later this year, said Mark Walker, vice president of marketing and media relations for EnergySolutions in Salt Lake City.
"What people don't understand is that we are talking about the kind of products and waste materials that you find in your doctor's office. It's not high risk," said Parker Hardy, president of the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce.
Initial fears about the project were allayed by briefings with EnergySolutions and a visit to the incinerators, said Oak Ridge city manager Mark Watson.
"What we are talking about is we aren't melting down heavy metals here," he said.
But Safer said that even people who are in favor of nuclear power should question importing foreign nuclear waste to a state which he said puts "very little scrutiny" on the industry.

I heard that in USA some Orthodox parishes organize something as festive first confession in age of 7 or 8 because their peers in catholic churches have the first communion and they got outfits like those in the picture and some gifts, so the reason is that Orthodox children would not feel weird or stand-off from their friends. Anybody could confirm this?
However, the outfits in this picture appear to be more in line with a Christmas pageant or a May crowning rather than either a 'First Communion' or a first confession. Perhaps this is a Melkite Greek Catholic church picture? The woman on the left in the middle row could be a Catholic nun, I can't really tell.

Everyone paying attention to the battle over so-called sequestration knows that it would cut billions of dollars from government spending beginning March 1. But not everybody may know that those cuts wouldn't all come at the same time — something that actually buys Congress more time to deal with the awkwardly named process.
Lawmakers are scheduled to be out of town next week, and sequester alarm bells have gotten louder in recent days. About $85 billion in across-the-board cuts to defense and domestic programs are slated to start on March 1 and at this point there's no replacement in sight. Yes, some of those cuts will start right away. But not all will, explains Richard Kogan of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Kogan gave MarketWatch two examples, stressing, "sequestration reduces the annual amount of funding." For some federal spending, the effect is immediate, he says, citing for example social services block grants to states. Funds for those grants would be reduced by $12.9 million a month for the remainder of the fiscal year, barring a deal to replace the sequester.
Yet for other agencies the effect is delayed. Example: research grants from the National Science Foundation. The NSF would get less cash as of March 1, but it doesn't make grants until later in the year. That means that the sequester would mostly reduce NSF grants for the 2013-2014 academic year. Those grants aren't typically made until August or September, Kogan says.
So the cuts wouldn't come in one fell swoop. But that hasn't stopped warnings about the potential damage the sequester would cause. Read: J.P. Morgan cuts GDP forecast on sequester fears.
Altogether, the sequester would cut about $1 trillion from the budget over nine years, with annual reductions of 8% for defense spending and 5% for domestic spending. In 2013, the cuts would total a reduced $85 billion, thanks to the beginning-of-the-year fiscal cliff agreement.
Steve Bell, senior director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, says that staff reductions would vary agency by agency if the sequester happens. He says that the Treasury Department, for example, would have to furlough workers quicker than would the Pentagon because the Treasury has a smaller staff and fewer outside contracts to deal with.
Right now, lawmakers are sounding resigned to the sequester happening on March 1.
"It is pretty clear to me that the sequester is going to go into effect," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters earlier this week.
But Washington is known for eleventh-hour deals, and it's certainly possible that Congress could pass a replacement on or before Feb. 28. A variety of options exist for replacing the sequester, points out Alec Phillips of Goldman Sachs, including going a bit past March 1. As he wrote in a recent note: "It is possible that Congress could allow a portion of the across-the-board cuts to occur, while replacing the rest of the scheduled cuts with a more flexible spending cut as well as a few mutually agreed-upon tax and/or spending changes."
Lawmakers are scheduled to return to Washington on Feb. 25. That gives them four full days to vote on a sequester plan.

The dualities of CDU and more broadly the Northern Territory of Australia inform the arrangement and composition of the building; vocational studies to tertiary education offered, distinct seasons wet and dry; landscapes dry and tropical; cultures exotic and indigenous.The scale of the exterior and internal public spaces combine with a permeability and democracy of access and movement that establish it as a true public facility. The position of the building on the CDU campus and its' linear design form a strong edge to the campus that give it a strong civic purpose, and emphasise its' function as the centre of the campus administration.
The plan of the building is driven by two axes. The first is the central circulation corridor or street serving the building and perpendicular to this is a circulation axis penetrating through the building that on a pedestrian scale connects the car park to the campus, and on an urban scale connects the city to the university. The long east-west axis opens to the east end, connecting the facility via a covered court to an external pedestrian route into the campus and to the adjacent Indonesian garden where university functions are held. This permeability knits the facility into the broader university campus as well as defining an edge and a gateway.
The crossing point of the two circulation axes is a light-filled double-height space serving all building users, providing strong links into the campus and out to the parklands beyond, and emphasising the garden spaces surrounding the building. The program of the building is very legible, with work spaces, meeting rooms and the art gallery positioned along the building's edge and accessed from the central street or atrium space.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The Gauchos swept their first conference match of the season on Wednesday night, winning their third straight match and ninth straight set in the process. Over 400 people watched No. 9 UCSB dominate the court against No. 6 Long Beach State in three sets. Game scores for the match went 25-17, 25-21, 25-22.
With the victory, UCSB improved its record to 3-1, while Long Beach State fell to 2-2.
The third set looked hopeful for the 49ers to make a comeback as they took an early lead. However, UCSB avoided a repeat of Friday's collape to UCLA in the opening match of the asics Invitational by wresting back momentum with the serve. Marsh and Nielsen both went on serving streaks for the Gauchos to take back the lead. The 49ers fought hard to reestablish their lead, but they ultimately fell short. After the spectacular night that Marsh had, it was only fitting that he put down the winning kill.
Undoubtedly, the UCSB's win was a team effort. Freshman setter Jonah Seif distributed the ball all over the court for a total of 47 assists. With 6 serving aces and a .398 team hitting percentage, the Gauchos dominated all facets of the match.
Head coach Rick McLaughlin commented on his team's skill, depth, and the outlook for future games. "Our setter distributed the ball well and everybody hit for a high percentage," he said after the win. "The depth is really going to help us throughout the season."
After an impressive start to the season, the Gauchos hit the road on Friday night, travelling to the Matadome to take on the Cal State Northridge Matadors.

Featherweight, emergency storm protection for light-and-fast alpine endeavors, the Alpine Houdini® Jacket disappears when clipped to your harness, then deploys to shed wind and precip when your weather window closes.
The problem is that you never see it coming on the Diamond. One moment you're climbing vertical, east-facing granite at 13,000 feet. The next you're staring at heavy, dark clouds boiling over the summit from the west. Seconds later, lightning cracks. The Alpine Houdini's ultralight waterproof/breathable membrane and absence of anything superfluous serves the simplicity crucial to alpine rock climbing - and its afternoon thunderstorms. It is emergency rainwear for climbing that also blocks wind and traps your heat on chilly belay ledges, packs into its single internal chest pocket (with clip-in loop) and seals up with elastic wrist cuffs and a single-pull drawcord waist. With helmet-compatible, single-pull adjustable hood.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Horse racing writer and editor Steven Crist suffered a cardiac arrest Sunday at home and is listed in critical but stable condition.
The Daily Racing Form reports that Crist, the publication's publisher, suffered the cardiac arrest at his home in Hempstead, Long Island. The 57- year-old Crist was taken in critical condition to a hospital. On Saturday he attended the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.
In 1998, Crist was part of a group that purchased the Daily Racing Form. When the newspaper was later sold Crist remained as publisher emeritus and columnist.
Well known as a handicapper, Crist has written several books, including his autobiography "Betting on Myself." He served as a vice president of the New York Racing Association from 1994-97.

All gas appliances need to be safety checked by Gas Safe registered engineers annually and serviced according to manufacturers instructions.
If appliances are left unchecked it runs the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which can be fatal to you and others in the property if exposed. Gas pipework should also be checked at the same time as your gas safety check in Cambridge Heath. If you are a landlord this needs to be done by law every year.
Appliance safety checks in Cambridge Heath will ensure that the appliance is safe to be operated. They will be checked to:
- Ensure that they are correctly set and adjusted to ensure gas is burning properly
- Make sure that they are suitable for where they are located
- Make sure that they are physically stable and fitted securely and connected to the gas supply safely
- There is an adequate air supply
- Any flues or chimneys are operating correctly
- All safety devices function correctly
If a gas installation safety check in Cambridge Heath is required, each appliance will need to be checked to ensure that all accessible gas pipework is visually inspected to make sure that the installation is in good condition and that the gas pipework is tested for any gas leaks.
When checking an unsafe gas appliance, our engineers will follow the Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure which provides them with information on best practice when dealing with specific gas safety concerns.
Once they have completed working on the appliance, our engineers will issue you with a report which will outline all the checks that they have carried out. It is not a legal requirement for this to be issued please note so do check with us that we will provide this.
Arrange a gas safety inspection in Cambridge Heath today, contact us by phone or email for a free quotation.

I think you've been amazing and so go ahead girl, have yourself a bit of a sad day...it's allowed! I would be celebrating my 42nd anniversary on Dec. 28th if my DH hadn't up and died. Men!! It gets easier....but there's always a part of your heart missing. He wouldn't want you to be sad...at least not for long. I still think we should have a little celebration though....after all....you were a loving, devoted wife and 43 years is a wonderful accomplishment. Hugs and good wishes that tomorrow will be a brighter day!
I just read your post. I'm so sorry for your loss. There is no time limit to how long you can or should feel sad. I hope you feel some comfort with each day that passes. Again, I am just so sorry for your loss.
((((Amiga13)))) I just saw your post. Your pain is still fresh-it has only been a couple of months. It is okay to feel sad and even to have a good cry. The first year can be so difficult-especially the holidays and special events that the two of you shared. I am glad that your children called you. I hope that fond memories of the time you and your husband shared helped you get through the day. I wish I could find the words to help you feel better and to ease your pain. I continue to pray that you feel God's peace.
My husband passed away four years ago in Sept. Dec 29th would have been my husband and my 33rd wedding anniversary.
I am thinking of you. I can not imagine your sadness at this time. Hugs to you.
Sending you warm thoughts, Amiga. I'm sorry for the pain you're feeling.
You have our love, hugs, and support.
Aww..I am sad for you. My bff lost her hubs about 3 years ago and this is the first time that she put up her Christmas tree. I believe that that time is our friend when we lose someone we love. I hope you have a Christmas surounded by loved ones. (((hugs)))
Sending hugs to both of you, and prayers for you that your hearts may heal, leaving only joyful memories.
Thank you, friends. Your kind messages got me through yesterday. Both my kids calledI have no clue how they remembered. You touched my heart, thank you.
forkids2, Im sending good thoughts right back to you. We have a lot in common, dont we? I think thats why I treasure this group so muchwe have a lot in common and understand each other.
I can totally understand - my husband just passed away on December 10 from Alzheimers. We would have been together 43 years also this month. We were together my whole adult life and it's difficult to begin building this strange new life alone, so I understand your sadness. I'm glad it's getting better for you and I'm sending you many smiles to get through this sad day.
I hope that you can find some comfort in remembering the good times that you and your husband experienced in your marriage. Thinking of you!
Its OK to grieve and be sad. We are here for you! (((HUGS)))
I'm sorry for your loss.
You have every right to grieve, and we are here to support you. It is natural to feel sad and miss your DH after so many years together. I hope tomorrow will be better for you. Sending sympathy and healing thoughts....
Sending smiles {{and hugs}}
I hope there will be a few moments where you remember the beautiful moments you had together and I hope that will bring you a little peace.
Sending a virtual hug.
PT love, hugs, and prayers surround you, amiga. Hope you can find a little comfort in that.
I am sad for you. It's especially hard getting through that first year after losing a loved one. I will be thinking of you during this holiday season.
Of course you can be sad! ((hugs)) You are always so positive and supportive of others. Can you share a pic of your wedding day?
Thinking of you Amiga, you have been very strong going through the last 15 or so months. I admire your positive attitude!
amiga13, the sadness is part of the healing process. You should allow yourself to be sad. The holidays are particularly difficult when you have celebrated them together for so many years. I am glad that we are here to support you in your healing. I realize that telling you that it will get better is not going to help you much, but in my case this Christmas will have been 25 years since I lost my DH#1, and although the sadness still creeps in occasionally, I now mostly have fond memories of our time together.
Little Rhody hugs coming your way! Hopefully your happy memories can bring a smile today...
I hope you can remember the good times. Huge hug to you!
You are always so positive and supportive of others who are going through struggles. Hugs and prayers for this difficult time.
Sending you a smile 😊 and a virtual hug today.
My thoughts are with you, Amiga.
Sending you big hugs!
I think you've been amazing and so go ahead girl, have yourself a bit of a sad day...it's allowed! I would be celebrating my 42nd anniversary on Dec. 28th if my DH hadn't up and died. Men!! It gets easier....but there's always a part of your heart missing. He wouldn't want you to be sad...at least not for long. I still think we should have a little celebration though....after all....you were a loving, devoted wife and 43 years is a wonderful accomplishment. Hugs and good wishes that tomorrow will be a brighter day!
Oh Amiga, it is indeed a hard day for you. Sending you smiles, hugs and prayers. Its been 7 years since I lost my husband and I still have too many hard days. I believe its the price of loving so deeply. It does get better Amiga.
I understand why it is a hard day. I am sorry.
Of course you can be sad, healing goes slowly.
Sending you smiles and hugs.
Thinking of you today, Amiga. Hoping each day gets easier and you find joy in the new year.
It's ok to be sad! There's no time limit on grief. Hugs to you!
{{Amiga!}} Today is a bittersweet day. Totally understandable. I'm sure your DH's spirit is smiling on you on your special date.
Sending you a smile too.
I still experience frequent sadness since DH passed away in October, but its getting better. Today, though, is a very hard day. It would have been our 43rd anniversary. Thanks for sending me smiles.

DSHS has added the required pertussis information to the Information for Parents of Newborns pamphlet. The related bill text, HB3336, can be located here.
During the 2005 regular legislative session, legislators passed SB 316, which requires hospitals, birthing centers, physicians, nurse-midwives, and midwives who provide prenatal care to pregnant women during gestation or at delivery to provide the woman and the father of the infant or other adult caregiver for the infant with a resource pamphlet that includes information on postpartum depression, shaken baby syndrome, immunizations and newborn screening. Providers must document in the client's chart that she received this information and the documentation must be retained for a minimum of five years. It is recommended that the information be given twice, once at the first prenatal visit and again after delivery. Additional details of the law can be located in the Texas Health and Safety Code Section 161.501.
Agency responsibilities: DSHS has been directed to develop a resource that contains the required information, make it available online and for distribution in English and Spanish and update the information on a regular basis.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
The Next Generation Of Point And Shoot
Get any girl's number, the big screen tells us. Get into any club.
We're watching a Gallardo movie, a corporate advertisement for the new LP560-4. A pair of them-one black, one white-tear through an unnamed city, powersliding around corners and generally hooning about before slinking past downtown valet lanes and groups of attractive young women looking on wistfully. Lamborghini is trying to get our blood up for driving the car.
But mine is already up. Speaking only for myself, I could do without the club-trolling and number-collecting bits. It's probably true that three-quarters of the Gallardo's target demographic will use the car for nothing more than those two things. Hand me the keys, though, and you'd find me nowhere near the middle of a city. There must be something wrong with me.
In its roughly five years of existence, the Gallardo has become the best-selling Lambo of all time. The LP560-4 is its successor for 2009. Among other things, the new car features a completely new V10 engine that, with 243cc more displacement and direct fuel injection, puts out 552 hp at a screaming 8000 rpm, 40 hp more than the outgoing engine and only about 20 hp shy of the original Murcilago's 572hp peak. It allows acceleration to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, according to the manufacturer. Top speed is reported to be in the neighborhood of 202 mph.
Not to be labeled as inefficient, however, the new V10 offers fuel consumption and carbon emissions that have been improved/reduced by a claimed 18 percent. Using the throttle judiciously, a Gallardo LP560 driven on the highway could attain economy figures upwards of 20 mpg.
To clear up any confusion over the name, output was initially calculated using Italian power units, Cavalli Vapore (CV). The new Gallardo makes 560 CV, hence the 560 designation. One CV equals about 0.986 SAE horsepower-ergo the adjusted 552 peak.
The number four stands for four-wheel drive, because along with the new powerplant, the Gallardo's all-wheel-drive system has also been re-engineered. A central viscous coupling distributes torque by 30/70 percent front to rear, and the robotized E-gear transmission now features Sport and Corsa modes that allow for increasingly quicker gear changes. Corsa switches gears some 40 percent faster than normal, and allows more exaggerated slip-angle leeway for extra tail-out attitude when careening around corners. There's also a Thrust mode that gives maximum acceleration from standstill by ensuring the throttle valve angle and clutch are optimally adjusted to one another.
A six-speed manual transmission is also available, but Lamborghini reports that only about 10 percent of customers opt for it.
The driving experience uncovers no real surprises. The car is stink-fast and nearly impossible to upset in normal dry-pavement conditions. The cornering is just too flat, the grip too massive. Not that either of those is a bad thing. It's supremely confidence-inspiring, about as point-and-shoot as a super sports car gets.
The testdrive includes stints on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on a modified infield road course, where Corsa mode demonstrates its willingness to allow a bit more rear slip. But with so much grip, you'd be hard pressed to describe a perfect sideways slide, as the tail slips only slightly before all four wheels dig back into the pavement and pull things straight in what seems like nanoseconds.
All the test cars had E-gear and the optional carbon-ceramic brake assemblies (CCB). On the road, the brakes are possibly the most disappointing aspect; under normal use, they don't bite as hard as expected and the pedal feels somewhat lifeless. On the track, though, they offer consistent performance under extreme flogging and a reasonably hard bite once they come up to temperature. They could be worthwhile if you dream of taking your Lambo to the track and you're solvent enough to lay down an extra $10,000 on top of the LP560's $201,000 starting point.
E-gear delivers extremely crisp, torso-thumping shifts under hard use, especially so at throttle angles approaching full. But predictably, the single-clutch system executes clunky, awkward shifts in full automatic mode. You're better off shifting it yourself.
The refurbish also includes updated aesthetics and aerodynamics. The front end in particular seems to have inherited styling cues from the super-limited Reventn, with those massive corner bumper inlets and a distinctly pointed nose. A cluster of daytime running LEDs arranged in a "Y" pattern burn brightly in the centers of the headlamps, echoed by similar triple arrays found in the taillights. The body also features a modified rear diffuser that punctuates overall aerodynamic efficiency improved by some 31 percent, along with a rearview camera cleverly integrated into a small fin on the independent rear spoiler.
The interior is surprisingly comfortable and spacious enough for my taste, nearly every surface skinned in fine leather. You could use this car every day if you were so inclined. Lamborghini's individualization program allows customers to personalize their car with an almost limitless palette of colors, along with contrasting stitching, plus Alcantara and carbon-fiber trim packages. So it's feasible to create a one-off car that looks unlike any other LP560-4-an important consideration for the number-collecting, club-hopping set.
And therein lies my one big gripe. As we do the obligatory crawl up Las Vegas Boulevard, turning heads with each raucous blip of the throttle, I can't get that corporate film out of my head. A slow cruise up the boulevard could be about as much excitement as most of these cars will ever see. Considering the incredible performance contained beneath those blade-like polygons, it could be the ultimate injustice.

Michael Weiner, who devoted his adult life to representing Major League Baseball players and rose to become their leader during an era of unprecedented prosperity and labor peace, died Thursday. He was 51.
Weiner, who was found to have inoperable brain cancer 15 months ago, died at his New Jersey home, the union said.
His casual manner and dress belied his stature as one of the smartest men ever to work in sports. His popularity extended beyond the players and their union to the commissioner's office, and to the very executives against whom he negotiated.
He continued to work through this summer, even as the cancer robbed him of his ability to walk and the use of his right side. Nonetheless, he appeared at the All-Star Game in July, in a wheelchair and in public view. He had no hesitation in explaining why, even as his voice grew soft and the trace of a tear appeared in his left eye.
"I don't know if I will be able to do this again," he told The Times. "If the doctors' prognostications and numbers are right, I probably won't. Because of that, I want to be wherever I can be."
In accordance with a succession plan, former major league first baseman Tony Clark becomes acting executive director. The union's executive board is expected to confirm Clark as Weiner's successor next month.
Born Dec. 21, 1961, Weiner grew up in New Jersey. His father owned a construction company, and Weiner spent several summers working on union crews.
Weiner graduated from Williams College in 1983 and Harvard Law School in 1986. After two years clerking for a federal judge, Weiner joined the Major League Baseball Players Assn. as counsel, at 26.
He never left the union, working as one of its lawyers during the 1994-95 strike. He rose to general counsel and, in 2009, replaced Donald Fehr as executive director.
Under Weiner — and with revenues leaping to record levels — the union negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement without threat of a work stoppage. The union also worked with the commissioner's office to tighten baseball's drug policy.
"He was truly a great individual, a brilliant lawyer and a thoroughly decent person," Dodgers President Stan Kasten said. "All of baseball — labor and management — has suffered a great loss. Michael was always viewed as the path to a reasonable resolution."
As news of Weiner's passing spread, some of baseball's biggest stars took to Twitter to express condolences to the family of a powerful man who could explain the most complicated and arcane rules in plain English, who disdained fancy suits for polo shirts and sneakers.
From Angels first baseman Albert Pujols, a three-time most valuable player: "Words can't describe the kind of man he was. I will miss you, my friend."
From Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, this year's National League MVP: "Michael Weiner worked through his sickness. He didn't look at it an excuse to quit. He never gave up on us even when at his worst."
At the All-Star Game, Commissioner Bud Selig approached the wheelchair-bound Weiner, lowered his right hand onto Weiner's left shoulder and exchanged pleasantries. Later, Selig politely declined to discuss his interaction with Weiner, but the anguish was apparent on the commissioner's face.
"Michael was a courageous human being," Selig said in a statement, "and the final year of his remarkable life inspired so many in our profession."
Weiner spoke to the Baseball Writers Assn. of America in July, his voice already wavering, his right side no longer functional, his brain as sharp as ever. He was well aware his days were numbered.
"What I look for each day is beauty, meaning and joy," he said that day. "If I can find beauty, meaning and joy, that's a good day."
Weiner's survivors include his wife, Diane, and three daughters.
The union said announcements about memorial services would be made at a later date.

More Snow for New Jersey on Saturday
Just a few days after New Jerseyans finished digging out from the last storm, forecasters are predicting another shot of snow this weekend.
Light snow is falling across New Jersey starting and will continue into the afternoon.
The National Weather Service expects a brief period of heavier snow early in the afternoon and again after 3 p.m. roughly along the Route 1 corridor that will deteriorate conditions on the roads.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon counties until 5 p.m. where 2-4 inches of snow is expected covering roads and reducing visibility. Approximately 1-2 inches will fall along the Route 1 corridor with less than an inch for the shore, according to reports.
The speed on the New Jersey Turnpike has been lowered to 45 MPH between exit #1 (Delaware Memorial Bridge) and exit #8 (Cranbury) due to blowing snow. The Garden State Parkway has a reduced speed of 45 MPH between exit #105 in Eatontown and the New York State border.
Newark Airport has delays of 1 hour while Philadelphia has 2 hour delays according to the website FlightAware.com.
A warm-up will accompany the snow as temperatures could reach 30 degrees, the warmest since Monday.
As the snow comes to an end by evening winds will turn back around to the northwest with wind chills plunging back to near zero by Saturday night with some widely scattered snow showers, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday will be partly sunny with temperatures in the 20s.
