Dale Schissler was talking TVs, baby, and he wasnt alone.
Schissler, a computer repairman with IBM, sat in the line outside Kmart with his 15-year-old son from 9 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. Thursday to buy a 42-inch flat-screen television.
We got it for $199. We were number six in line, said Schissler. By 4 a.m. Thursday, he said, about 300 people were standing in the line at the Western Boulevard store.
Two hours later, after dropping his son off at home in Cary, Schissler was chatting with the 30 or so folks who had camped out for days in front of the Best Buy in Garner. They were waiting for tickets that would allow them to purchase certain items when the store officially opened at midnight for the Black Friday sales spectacular.
Schissler was at Best Buy by 9 a.m. after receiving a call to service a computerized cash register at the store. He didnt plan on buying anything; still, he made fast friends with the shoppers who were lined up in front of the store.
Theres a sort of comradeship, he said. We watch each others back.
The official start of the winter holiday shopping season begins Friday, but a number of retailers opened their doors on Thanksgiving Day. The retail ploy has some observers wondering if the newly named Gray Thursday has become the new Black Friday.
More than 80 million shoppers hit the stores looking for deals the day after Thanksgiving, but a recent survey found that a little more than half that number 41 million planned to shop on Thanksgiving, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs.
The survey also found that the main reason consumers planned to shop Thursday was to get a head start on bargains. Smaller crowds and something to do other than eat and watch football on Thanksgiving were also listed as reasons.
John Walls and six of his friends were first in line at Best Buy. The group had been camping out in front of the store since Tuesday at 4 p.m.
The campers had fashioned a homestead of sorts near the store entrance. Two tents equipped with comforters and sleeping bags served as combination bedroom and chill out spots, while a card table laden with a tray of Wasabi peas, pasta, Marlboros and Pepsi worked as a makeshift eating and social area.
Walls, 37, said they warded off near-freezing overnight temperatures Wednesday night by getting a couple of extra people to sleep with us and grabbing a couple of shots of bourbon from Buffalo Bills, just down the sidewalk.
This is our fifth annual guys weekend, he said. A friend of ours, who wasnt able to make it, created a Facebook page that said, 5th Annual Occupy Best Buy.
Televisions are akin to electronic bait that retailers drop in the consumer pool to lure, then hook, holiday shoppers.
Walls was going to buy a Galaxy tablet that normally sells for $249. The thing was on sale for $180. And he planned to purchase a Toshiba 42-inch flat-screen TV that regularly sells for $419. It was on sale for $179.
Walls bunkmate, Jackie Chambliss, 35, of Raleigh, said all the campers were going to buy TVs and other stuff.
Three tents down, Beth Collins, 42, of Garner, was one of eight friends holed up in two blue and khaki-colored tents. Her group had been camped out in front of the store since Tuesday afternoon. They all planned to buy the Toshiba flat-screens.
I want a TV and a computer, too, she said.
Bob and Brenda Brown, of Clayton, had just finished eating their Thanksgiving dinner at the K&W Cafeteria near New Bern Avenue and decided to walk over to the nearby Hamricks department store on Maitland Road and browse for bargains.
My wife likes this store, Bob Brown said while looking at hats in the mens department. We figured it was a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Its a beautiful day. We figured we could walk off the turkey dinner at the same time.
The line was long gone Thursday afternoon back at the Kmart on Western Boulevard, but eight chairs were lined up in front of the store to mark shoppers spots for the door buster sale at 8 p.m., when the store would hand out tickets allowing people to purchase 52-inch flat-screen televisions for $399, normally priced at $699. Schisslers name was on the olive-green camp chair that was No. 2 in line.
Chambliss pulled on a pair of red Saucony Jazz sneakers and talked about the grab-that-television philosophy pervading the Gray Thursday shopping crowd.
If someone tells you theyre in line for a tablet, you look at them like, what the? she said. But if (they) say TV, youre like: Hey yeah. Theyve got good deals on TVs.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks ago. I am walking straight but my butt is tucked in when I walk from the tightness. My butt is gone. I am scared that this will not resolve itself. Is this normal?
Had a Tummy Tuck and Now I Am Walking with my Butt Tucked In. Will This Resolve Itself?
Doctor Answers (3)
Core Muscle Imbalance After Tummy Tuck
Core muscle imbalance after muscle tightening can cause lower back and ambulation issues. As the muscles loosen, you should improve significantly. At about 6 weeks you can begin Physical Therapy to rebalance your core muscles. Best wishes.
Tummy Tuck Tightness
If your butt is tucked in you really are not walking completely straight. As the tightness resolves yes your backside should come back.
My butt is gone.
I am having trouble understanding what you are describing--photos would help. Unless you had a belt lipectomy (lower body lift) that continued the TT incision all around the back, it is difficult to imagine the changes you are describing.
Consider re-posting this question with photos. Thanks, all the best.

Parallel Computing Toolbox
This demo looks at how we can benchmark the solving of a linear system on the GPU. The MATLAB® code to solve for x in A*x = b is very simple. Most frequently, we use matrix left division, also known as mldivide or the backslash operator (\), to calculate x (that is, x = A\b).
Related demos:
The code shown in this demo can be found in this function:
function results = paralleldemo_gpu_backslash(maxMemory)
It is important to choose the appropriate matrix size for the computations. We can do this by specifying the amount of system memory in GB available to the CPU and the GPU. The default value is based only on the amount of memory available on the GPU, and you can specify a value that is appropriate for your system.
if nargin == 0 g = gpuDevice; maxMemory = 0.4*g.FreeMemory/1024^3; end
We want to benchmark matrix left division (\), and not the cost of transferring data between the CPU and GPU, the time it takes to create a matrix, or other parameters. We therefore separate the data generation from the solving of the linear system, and measure only the time it takes to do the latter.
function [A, b] = getData(n, clz) fprintf('Creating a matrix of size %d-by-%d.\n', n, n); A = rand(n, n, clz) + 100*eye(n, n, clz); b = rand(n, 1, clz); end function time = timeSolve(A, b) tic; x = A\b; %#ok<NASGU> We don't need the value of x. time = toc; end
As with a great number of other parallel algorithms, the performance of solving a linear system in parallel depends greatly on the matrix size. As seen in other demos, such as Benchmarking A\b, we compare the performance of the algorithm for different matrix sizes.
% Declare the matrix sizes to be a multiple of 1024. maxSizeSingle = floor(sqrt(maxMemory*1024^3/4)); maxSizeDouble = floor(sqrt(maxMemory*1024^3/8)); step = 1024; if maxSizeDouble/step >= 10 step = step*floor(maxSizeDouble/(5*step)); end sizeSingle = 1024:step:maxSizeSingle; sizeDouble = 1024:step:maxSizeDouble;
We use the number of floating point operations per second as our measure of performance because that allows us to compare the performance of the algorithm for different matrix sizes.
Given a matrix size, the benchmarking function creates the matrix A and the right-hand side b once, and then solves A\b a few times to get an accurate measure of the time it takes. We use the floating point operations count of the HPC Challenge, so that for an n-by-n matrix, we count the floating point operations as 2/3*n^3 + 3/2*n^2.
function gflops = benchFcn(A, b) numReps = 3; time = inf; % We solve the linear system a few times and calculate the Gigaflops % based on the best time. for itr = 1:numReps tcurr = timeSolve(A, b); time = min(tcurr, time); end n = size(A, 1); flop = 2/3*n^3 + 3/2*n^2; gflops = flop/time/1e9; end
Having done all the setup, it is straightforward to execute the benchmarks. However, the computations can take a long time to complete, so we print some intermediate status information as we complete the benchmarking for each matrix size. We also encapsulate the loop over all the matrix sizes in a function, to benchmark both single- and double-precision computations.
function [gflopsCPU, gflopsGPU] = executeBenchmarks(clz, sizes) fprintf(['Starting benchmarks with %d different %s-precision ' ... 'matrices of sizes\nranging from %d-by-%d to %d-by-%d.\n'], ... length(sizes), clz, sizes(1), sizes(1), sizes(end), ... sizes(end)); gflopsGPU = zeros(size(sizes)); gflopsCPU = zeros(size(sizes)); for i = 1:length(sizes) n = sizes(i); [A, b] = getData(n, clz); gflopsCPU(i) = benchFcn(A, b); fprintf('Gigaflops on CPU: %f\n', gflopsCPU(i)); A = gpuArray(A); b = gpuArray(b); gflopsGPU(i) = benchFcn(A, b); fprintf('Gigaflops on GPU: %f\n', gflopsGPU(i)); end end
We then execute the benchmarks in single and double precision.
[cpu, gpu] = executeBenchmarks('single', sizeSingle); results.sizeSingle = sizeSingle; results.gflopsSingleCPU = cpu; results.gflopsSingleGPU = gpu; [cpu, gpu] = executeBenchmarks('double', sizeDouble); results.sizeDouble = sizeDouble; results.gflopsDoubleCPU = cpu; results.gflopsDoubleGPU = gpu;
Starting benchmarks with 8 different single-precision matrices of sizes ranging from 1024-by-1024 to 22528-by-22528. Creating a matrix of size 1024-by-1024.

Gigaflops on CPU: 53.273913 Gigaflops on GPU: 163.386311
We can now plot the results, and compare the performance on the CPU and the GPU, both for single and double precision.
First, we look at the performance of the backslash operator in single precision.
fig = figure; ax = axes('parent', fig); plot(ax, results.sizeSingle, results.gflopsSingleGPU, '-x', ... results.sizeSingle, results.gflopsSingleCPU, '-o') legend('GPU', 'CPU', 'Location', 'NorthWest'); title(ax, 'Single-precision performance') ylabel(ax, 'Gigaflops'); xlabel(ax, 'Matrix size'); drawnow;
Now, we look at the performance of the backslash operator in double precision.
fig = figure; ax = axes('parent', fig); plot(ax, results.sizeDouble, results.gflopsDoubleGPU, '-x', ... results.sizeDouble, results.gflopsDoubleCPU, '-o') legend('GPU', 'CPU', 'Location', 'NorthWest'); title(ax, 'Double-precision performance') ylabel(ax, 'Gigaflops'); xlabel(ax, 'Matrix size'); drawnow;
Finally, we look at the speedup of the backslash operator when comparing the GPU to the CPU.
speedupDouble = results.gflopsDoubleGPU./results.gflopsDoubleCPU; speedupSingle = results.gflopsSingleGPU./results.gflopsSingleCPU; fig = figure; ax = axes('parent', fig); plot(ax, results.sizeSingle, speedupSingle, '-v', ... results.sizeDouble, speedupDouble, '-*') legend('Single-precision', 'Double-precision', 'Location', 'NorthWest'); title(ax, 'Speedup of computations on GPU compared to CPU'); ylabel(ax, 'Speedup'); xlabel(ax, 'Matrix size'); drawnow;

May 10, 2012 | Vol. 39, No. 19
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game recently announced that the lingcod sport fishing seasons, bag and possession limits, annual limits, and size limits have been established for the Northern Southeast Area. In this area the following regulations apply:
Northern Southeast Area - Season: May 16 – November 30. Limits: Residents – 1 daily 2 in possession, no size limit. Nonresidents – 1 daily, 1 in possession, size limit: 30 inches or greater in length and less than 35 inches in length, or 55 inches or greater in length. An annual limit of 2 fish, one of which is 30 to 35 inches in length, one of which is 55 inches or greater in length. Nonresident anglers shall immediately record, in ink, all lingcod harvested either on the back of their sport fishing license or on a nontransferable harvest record.
Charter operators and crew members may not retain lingcod while clients are on board the vessel.
These regulations are designed to ensure that the sport harvest of lingcod stays within the sport fishery allocations established by the Board of Fisheries.
These regulations are also outlined on page 10 within the Southeast Alaska 2012 Sport Fishing Regulations Summary. The Southeast Alaska 2012 Sport Fishing Regulation Summaries are available at all local ADF&G Sport Fish Division offices and at most sport fishing license vendors.

Buffalo Bills place-kicker Rian Lindell hasn't had any work so far this year, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been busy during the first two games.
The Bills are the only team in the NFL that hasn't attempted a field goal so far. The Bills have nine touchdowns, the most in the league through two games. Every time the Bills get in scoring range, Lindell gets up and kicks into a net on the sideline to get ready for a potential field-goal try.
"Actually, I'm probably sometimes kicking more because they've been down there more," Lindell said. "Every time they cross the 50, I get ready. Yeah, I don't get that extra kick in the game. If I haven't kicked in awhile, then as soon as they get the ball then I may kick a couple. But in a normal situation, usually when they get to the 50, then I'll kick. Usually three or four kicks, it depends on how I feel."
Lindell added, "If they're going to score four or five touchdowns a game, I can't argue with that." But he is eager to get going on some field goals.
"That first one, you always want to start well and get the train moving," he said.

From an economic perspective, the basic social problem is one of limited resources in a world of unlimited wants. Thus, economics analyzes the behavior, policies, and laws of individuals, firms, and political institutions, seeking to understand how these economic actors determine the allocation of resources. Economics provides much of the theoretical underpinnings for the other business disciplines.
Students studying Economics gain a solid foundation of economic theory and applications that enable them to analyze and understand many issues from an economic perspective.
Half of the US presidents since 1975, and the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, were economics majors (as was Joe Maddon, manager of the Tampa Bay Rays!). Evidently, economics is broadly applicable, useful in many occupations. While about two thirds of those with majors in economics work in corporations and other private businesses, many governmental, military, and non-profit opportunities are also open to economists. Economics training enhances logical reasoning and analytical skills, useful in the corporate world and very useful as a preparation for further study in law and business.

Perhaps more than ever before, an international perspective is required to address the fundamental questions of economics, business, and society. That's one reason USF St. Petersburg now emphasizes the international side of economics by offering a set of four courses in international economics. The basic International Economics course is ECO 3703. The next three courses focus on important international aspects of economics. International Macroeconomics (ECO 4713) looks at macroeconomics, such as exchange rates, international monetary relations, the Euro, and recessions. International Trade and Policy (ECO 4704) focuses on microeconomic issues, such as trade patterns and policy, the World Trade Organization and NAFTA. Economics of Latin America (ESC 4430) looks at the region that buys over 50% of Florida's exports -- our biggest international customer. All four of these courses also count toward the International Business minor.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) - Ammonia discharges from a chicken processing plant in Shenandoah County are no longer violating the facility's water pollution permit.
The George's Inc. plant in Edinburg told state regulators in late October that ammonia discharges from its wastewater treatment plant into Stony Creek exceeded the permitted levels.
Gary Flory with the Department of Environmental Quality tells the Daily News-Record (http://bit.ly/Qap18M ) that water samples taken Saturday and Monday show ammonia levels have fallen below permitted levels. Additional tests are planned.
Flory says officials don't know what caused the ammonia levels to increase.
Bob Kenney is vice president of Virginia operations for Georgia's. He says bacteria were added at the wastewater treatment plant to help break down compounds. The bacteria grow naturally when the plant is operating normally.

Whenever I go through the "Moses Chronicles" – that is, from Exodus to Deuteronomy, I am always overwhelmed with the long list of laws written down. "You shall not eat unclean animals", "You must give these as a grain offering", and such that seem to sound too complex, apart from the "basic" Ten Commandments. But what had boggled my mind this evening is the consequences for disobeying these laws are usually harsh…like stoning the sinner to death.
Knowing that these seem to have changed when the New Testament opened, I asked God does it mean that these laws have become void and null. I wouldn't explain it in an attorney's jargon, but Romans 7 gave me a refreshing revelation.
Apostle Paul explained how we were redeemed from the law's punishment through the blood of Jesus. Now, in the OT, one way to redeem a person from sin is through blood sacrifice – kill the lamb and sprinkle its blood on the altar. Jesus, then, became the ultimate sacrifice, as He shed His blood to redeem us all; past, present, and future. Paul mentioned that we have "died to the law through the body of Christ" (Romans 7:4). But he also had taken note that the law is not really the sin, but when we know more of the law, the more we rebelled against it because of our sinful nature (Romans 7:7-20). Originally, the law said, through Moses, it was given because of their hardheartedness. But Jesus came not to abolish the law but fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Truly, the law sounded harsh but when Jesus came, He redeemed us all…the mercy of the Lord fulfilled the redemption of the law itself, and those who come to die from self are redeemed from death, accomplished by trespassing the law.
What overwhelmed my heart is the greatness of this redemption. The mercy of the Lord is so unfathomable, I couldn't believe how great is His love. What the hard-headed Israelites at the wilderness did not realize, is now so open to everyone. I just pray we all come to see it. How great is Your love, Lord, how great!

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Spracherwerb / Language acquisition
Year of publication
Document Type
- Part of a Book (23)
- Working Paper (8)
- Article (1)
- Spracherwerb (32) (remove)
- The Acquisition of Intensifiers versus Reflexive Pronouns (2000)
- The ultimate goal of the study is to examine the acquisition of intensifiers in English and German. In this paper an overview of the first results regarding four L1 English-speaking children will be given. Contrary to previous claims in the literature (e.g. Thomas 1990), it will be argued that intensifiers are used by children in early phases of language acquisition. Intensifiers play an important role in early phases of language acquisition since they can be used to express the wish either to be included or excluded in a certain action and thus contribute to structuring a central aspect of the child's discourse.
- The Acquisition of Clitic Objects in Modern Greek : Single Clitics, Clitic Doubling, Clitic Left Dislocation (2000)
- The present study is concerned with Single Clitics, as weil as with Clitic Doubling and Clitic Left Dislocation constructions and will test the Uniformity Hypothesis (Sportiehe 1992), according to which all three constructions involve the same underlying structure. It will be shown that: - acquisition data pose a problem for the Uniforrnity Hypothesis (Sportiche 1992) and support rather the idea that Single Clitic, Clitic Doubling and Clitic Left Dislocation constructions do not involve the same underlying structure, - omission of definite articles in Clitic Doubling and Clitic Left Dislocation constructions parallels omission of definite articles in simple DPs, - selective omission of some types of Determiners, i.e. definite articles and use of another type of Determiners, i.e. clitic pronouns, can be explained in terms of the different feature specification of words belonging to the category D and the different status of clitics vs. definite articles.
- Early verb development in one Austrian child (2000)
- The purpose of this paper is to trace the early development of verbs (first 50 verb lemmas) in one Austrian child. The paper focusses on verb morphology, and especially on the emergence of first verb paradigms.
- On the Acquisition of the German plural markings (2001)
- In the following, we will discuss the acquisition of plural forms in German from the unified perspective of the two, in our opinion compatible, approaches, on the basis of a longitudinal data sample of eight children. There are at least six recordings of each child, all of whom are girls. Together, the data cover the acquisition period from 1;11 to 2;10. One may thus anticipate that the data sample under investigation reflects the transition from purely lexical memorization to the acquisition of regularities or patterns.
- Phonetische Substanz und phonologische Theorie : eine Fallstudie zum Erstspracherwerb des Deutschen (1991)
- Diese Arbeit stellt einen Versuch dar. phonologische Theorien auf ihre Anwendbarkeit im Bereich des Erstspracherwerbs hin zu untersuchen. Ziel ist dabei letztlich. "substantielle Erklärungen" (Ohaia & Kawasaki 1964: 113f) phonologischer Phänomene zu finden. d.h. Erklärungen. die sich möglichst auf externe Evidenz stützen und weitergehende Vorhersagen und Generalisierungen zulassen. […] Schon bei der Untersuchung zweier oder mehrerer Kinder stellt sich heraus. daß diese eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Strategien zur Vereinfachung oder auch Vermeidung komplexer Strukturen verwenden (Intersubjektive Variation, vgl. Ingram 1989: 212f. und Kleinhenz & Weyerts 1990). Zum Teil sind solche Unterschiede wohl auf individuelle Fähigkeiten. zum Teil vermutlich auch auf den sprachlichen Input zurückzuführen. also z.B. die Häufigkeit und die Deutlichkeit der Aussprache bestimmter Wörter und Segmente in der lnputsprache. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist es schließlich, die Stadien des Erwerbs unterschiedlicher Sprachen zu vergleichen. da sich so am ehesten feststellen läßt. Ob der Faktor der Input-Sprache entscheidendes Gewicht hat oder ob es deutliche sprachübergreifende Gesetzmäßigkeiten gibt. […] Die[] unterschiedlichen Aspekte lassen sich innerhalb einer Theorie der "Selbstorganisation" (oder "Emergenz") sprachlicher Strukturen durchaus vereinbaren. Dieser Ansatz bildet daher den Hintergrund der hier vorgenommenen Beschreibung.
- The modality constituent : a neglected area in the study of first language acquisition (1978)
- Studies of syntax in first language acquisition have so far concentrated on the propositional side of the sentence, i.e. on the occurrence and interplay of semantic roles like agent, benefactive, objective, etc. and their syntactic expression. The modality constituent, however, has received little attention in the study of child language. This may be due in part to the impetus more recent research in this field has received from studies of the acquisition of English, a language with poor verb morphology as compared to synthetic languages. The research to be presented in this paper is concerned with an early stage of the acquisition of Modern Greek as a first language, a language with a particularly rich verb morphology. Since modality, aspect, and tense are obligatorily marked on the main verb in Mod. Greek, this language offers an excellent opportunity for studying the development of these fundamental categories of verbal grammar at an earlier stage than in more analytic languages. [...] As this paper is concerned with the semantic categories of verbal grammar mentioned above as weIl as with their formal expression, only utterances containing a verb will be considered. For reasons of space we shall further limit ourselves to those utterances containing a main verb. Such utterances divide into two classes, modal and non-modal. [...] In spite of Calbert's claim (Calbert 1975) that there are no strictly non-modal expressions, affirmative and negative statements as well as questions not containing a modal verb will be considered as non-modal. As will be shown below, modal and non-modal expressions are formally differentiated at the stage of language acquisition studied.
- The development of modality in language acquisition (1983)
- Defined as a general inner-linguistic function, modality pervades language and there can thus be no strictly nonmodal predicative expressions. We shall, however, in what follows, keep to grammatical tradition and exclude declarative and interrogative sentences in the indicative mood from consideration. Although a thorough study of the development of modal negation should prove most rewarding, we must renounce such an attempt out of space limits. […] [W]e shall be concerned with the formal linguistic devices employed by the child for expressing modality in various languages and the functions these serve, i.e. how they are used. Only by the conjoint study of form and function can one hope to arrive at a fair understanding of how the modalizing function develops in the ontogenesis of language.

Hugh 'Wes' Mitchell
Published: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 10:39 p.m.
In a 45-year partnership and marriage to a woman once known as the unofficial mayor of Bodega Bay, Hugh "Wes" Mitchell was the quiet one, an able contractor and stout former football player who stood as the personal and political bodyguard to his tenacious wife, Hazel.
Mitchell, who suffered a stroke in October, died Wednesday at his home in Santa Rosa, according to a niece. He was 84.
He was a former Army paratrooper who'd turned down a professional football career when he accepted a building job in Bodega Bay, where he met his future wife.
Hazel Boennecke, a waitress at the time and feisty and fearless by nature, became one of Sonoma County's pioneering community activists, beating back plans for a power plant at Bodega Head and thrusting herself into so many other issues relating to her coastal home.
The pair married in 1963 — in the thick of the fight over PG&E's proposed nuclear power plant but before Hazel's other campaigns for and against development along the coast.
"In all of her political career, Uncle Wes was always right behind her," said his niece Connie Aust of Forestville. "Aunt Hazel couldn't have been the advocate and politically active person she was without having him as the big strong guy behind her."
"She kind of ran the show and Wes was happy to oblige," said Ernie Carpenter, a former Sonoma County supervisor who knew the couple well. "Wes was the sweetest guy in the world."
Along with home construction, Mitchell built the country club and yacht club in Bodega Bay and volunteered with the town's fire department, according to his niece. Hazel Mitchell became a real estate agent and served as president of the town's chamber of commerce.
"They had a very nice partnership," Aust said. "Him building, her selling. He was the quiet person and she was the driving force."
A native of Yreka, Hugh Wesley Mitchell starred on the high school football team and served in the Army 11th Airborne Division after World War II. He made 40 jumps and served in occupied Japan, according to Aust.
He returned to play football for Modesto Junior College and College of the Pacific in Stockton — now University of the Pacific — and was a state boxing champion before being offered a spot on the New York Giants football team.
He turned down the opportunity because of the low pay, his niece said.
Mitchell was an avid landscape photographer whose photos often graced the weather page of The Press Democrat. Winemaking, aviation history, welding and building projects were other hobbies.
Hazel Mitchell died in 2008 at the age of 90. Hugh Mitchell is survived by a sister, Mary Haygood of Napa, and by numerous nieces and nephews.
A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Sebastopol, with a reception for friends and family to follow. Donations can be made to the Pacific Coast Air Museum at the Sonoma County Airport.

We all love to talk of the discontent we suffer living in Minnesota between late December and the end of March.
But even the most cynical among us -- and there are few more jaded than newspaper reporters -- have a soft spot for the first snows of the season.
After the last stubborn oak leaves succumb and fall from the trees, the lawns show sickly brown and the garden remnants hang dry and sad, a fresh blanket of snow is welcome.
First snows make people giddy -- and not just the kids.
People get nicer after it snows, opening doors for others, helping people on icy sidewalks, chatting people up about the shared experiences of driving through the snow.
Snow is viewed differently depending on whether you live in the city or in the country. In-town, it means brushing off the car windows, shoveling the drive and going a little more slowly to work. In the country, it rearranges lives -- up very early to blow out drifted driveway, taking worrying drives through blowing snow and making intricate plans to be able to leave work early, before it gets dark.
Kids in town go to the local sledding hill. Kids in the country get creative. Our dad had an old hood from a 1950s' car he'd turn upside down and chain to the back of a tractor. Five kids would lay on the hood as he drove around the farmyard, the big hood careening off buildings, young ones occasionally sailing off the back.
Snow is more enjoyable when there's a measure of danger involved.
I'm not sure what people talk about when they live places where it's 75-degrees and sunny virtually every day. Maybe they have a lot of meaningful discussions about emotions and art. For the rest of us, we can fill any awkward moment with weather chat.
When The Weather Channel started back in the '80s I thought society had finally gone mad -- that we had reached such a level of inertness and stupidity that a TV channel showing nothing but weather forecasts 24-hours a day could be viable. But apparently a lot of people like to follow and talk about weather.
Now, meteorologist Jim Cantore is a superstar, showing up everywhere there's a storm surge to stand in. During Hurricane Sandy, an average of nearly 3 million viewers were glued to The Weather Channel.
I have to admit I sometimes find myself watching the Weather Channel forecasts with a mix of self-shame and odd fascination. I know I don't care about a nor'easter pounding New England or advection fog blanketing North Carolina, but I can't help watching. The model-like weather women move from coast to coast showing us weather information that is of no use to us -- but still we watch.
(There are dozens of web sites devoted to the women of The Weather Channel -- just Google it if you don't believe me. And don't ask me why I know this.)
Yes, we love our weather and Minnesota's a great place to be in the middle of it, from tornadoes to drought to rainstorms and snow.
We know the exuberance over the new snowfalls will be temporary. It will turn to dismay as the blizzards come, the temperatures fall and the shoveling becomes a torment.
But for now, we can enjoy.

The Valdosta Daily Times
What would you do for a $179 flat-screen television or a fully loaded and discounted Playstation 3 package? Would you wait in line for minutes, hours or even days? You might be saying: that's crazy, but for those who deem themselves "Black Friday professionals," it's go big or go home.
Brittiany Thorton pitched a tent and set up camp in front of Best Buy at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Her treasure? TVs, laptops, a Garmin GPS and a free cell phone.
"All totaled, we'll save well over $800 to $900 with everything we're going to buy," said Thorton.
She said this year, people were lining up for Black Friday earlier and earlier. Thus, she strategized to beat the rush.
"Last year, at 4 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, the line wrapped all around the building," said Thorton.
Thorton wasn't the only one. Right behind her in a camping chair was Rachel Patelski.
"I got out here at 7:30 a.m. (on Wednesday)," said Patelski. "I'm waiting in line for my dad and he's getting some hard-drives, movies and TVs.
"We're going to be taking shifts."
Third in line was Sherry Mascorro. She arrived at Best Buy around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
"I did this last year, but I was like number 10," said Mascorro. "I'm skipping Thanksgiving again."
You would think that staying in the same place for days and hours would be difficult or boring, but these three have everything they need.
Both Thorton and Moscorro have tents, beds, laptops, movies, games and coolers full of food and drinks. If they need to use the bathroom, Best Buy has provided porta-potties. If they get discouraged, all they have to do is look at the Best Buy sales paper and remember what they're fighting for.
Just down the street, four women camped out behind a shopping cart barricade in front of Toys R' Us on Thanksgiving Day.
"I got here at 9 a.m.," said Jessica Walker who was the first in line.
Following behind her was her "runner" Tanya Morgan and Deshai Richardson with her "runner" Pat McSwain.
For the fifth year in a row, these women have sacrificed an entire day just to make a 20-minute purchase, but to them, it's worth it.
They were all after one thing, a Playstation 3 bundle that comes with controllers and games that were priced with a $100 discount off the regular retail price.
Though staying in one place for hours makes for a long day, they all agreed that if they could only do Black Friday shopping at one store, it would be Toys R' Us.
"They are so organized," said Richardson.
Toys R' Us only lets 15 to 20 people in the store at a time and getting everything you need can be found and purchased in a matter of minutes, Richardson said.
Each person receives a ticket. If you are in the front of the line, you are guaranteed your item and you don't have to fight for it.
Their only complaint was that they wish stores would stop opening on Thanksgiving. For parents like them, who need to save the money, they have to sacrifice a day with the family to ensure everyone gets what they asked for.
"We wish it was Black Friday, not Thursday," said Richardson.
While many will refer to those who camp in line for hours and days as "crazy," those who do it know it's just the sacrifice that has to be made.
Black Friday isn't for the lazy and isn't for the light of heart. It takes true dedication and anyone who's been one of those "line people" knows that you never get something for nothing.

The wave of library closings a few years ago was like a bad novel. North Buffalo was hit the hardest. We lost that cute 1800s Fairfield Branch (a historic Unitarian church charmingly converted to public use) and then the 1920s North Park Branch. The North Buffalo branch library is now -- O shameful day! -- a storefront in a strip plaza.
Now there is the new Little Library at 120 Greenfield Street!
Buzz is guessing this is in line with a movement called Little Free Library.
Organizer Rachael Vella is sending around a notice:
"Our Parkside heroes stocked it with some starter books. Feel free to take a book, take one and drop one off, or just look. You can keep it as long as you want and we'll never come after you for a late fee. I will be keeping an eye on things and stocking it up with some faster moving materials as often as possible. We're hoping to eventually appeal to all ages and I added some young adult books this afternoon. For those of you house bound, send me a note and I'll deliver something."
Power to the people!

>>94' GMC Jimmy fuel pump/ fuel pressure problems.<<
I have a 94' GMC Jimmy, and I believe I'm having problems with the fuel pump.
It starts up just fine every time, but after driving it awhile it starts to act as if it's running out of gas. This happens especially on hills, and it will stall if I don't baby the gas pedal. I've replaced the fuel filter, and the fuel pressure is fluctuating between 45-55 psi.
I think it's the fuel pump dying, my friend thinks it's the regulator, I've heard it could be the coil or a vacuum leak, is there any way to be certain?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, this is my first vehicle!

Not sure if thats a fuel pump or not but in a 98 and 99 jimmy I had, usually the fuel pump if it was getting weak wouldnt start it because it required 65psi to start and only 55psi to run. but the 99 was doing exactly what your describing. mine would start up and run and as soon as it started to get warm it would lose power and could only go about 10-15mph and barely if at all make a hill. Wait for it to cool down. start right up go for a bit until warm then back to 10mph. thought it was vacumn line related or something that changes at almost running temperature. Never found out what it was I sold it!!!

i would put my money on either a vacuum leak or the little black pressure sensor that is on top of the fuel pump. i have a 98 that has this problem and i have replaced the whole ignition system and it was no help. i have read that those pressure sensors are made way cheap and damage easily. replacing mine is probably my next step whenever i have the 50 bucks to get a new one. i will let you know if it works

Very friendly staff and in a good location. Everywhere was clean and was good value for money. The place is more like a basic hotel than a hostel so not much chance for meeting people if that is what you want, but it suited us fine. It felt very safe and we really enjoyed the addition of a balcony to the room.

If you want to avoid unpleasant problems on your holiday,do not book this accomodation.Reasons:1. they do not have free wi-fi as they say-you can use their ancient machine for 1 EUR/hour 2.cleanliness, rooms and the whole hostel are below average for what you can get for this price in Portugal 3.if you arrive just a little later(20 minutes is enough), they sell your room to someone else and they don't want to discuss it = you loose your deposit(or we slept 4 persons on 2 beds for 75% of price!)

I arrived 30 minutes late due to the delayed connection of the bus in the airport and they have already given the room to other persons. We had to look up for a hotel IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT with our bags in a town (Faro) where nothing was available!!!! I lost the money of the reserve a I had to pay another very expensive hotel in which we finally found an available bed at 3 am!!! Their explanation was that they cannot loose money. But at the end who lost money? ME!!!

Update: According to multiple reports, Stanford Routt has agreed to terms on a three-year, $20 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Stanford Routt, who visited the Bills last week, is expected to make a decision as early as today according to several reports.
The Kansas City Chiefs are in the hunt and are believed to be the front-runner. Routt has visited the Bills along with the Chiefs and Bengals. The Titans are believed to still be involved.
Routt's release from Oakland came a day before his $5 million base salary for 2012 would have been fully guaranteed.

I write about energy and environment issues.
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.
The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.
Scientists on all sides of the global warming debate are in general agreement about how much heat is being directly trapped by human emissions of carbon dioxide (the answer is "not much"). However, the single most important issue in the global warming debate is whether carbon dioxide emissions will indirectly trap far more heat by causing large increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds. Alarmist computer models assume human carbon dioxide emissions indirectly cause substantial increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds (each of which are very effective at trapping heat), but real-world data have long shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not causing as much atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds as the alarmist computer models have predicted.
The new NASA Terra satellite data are consistent with long-term NOAA and NASA data indicating atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds are not increasing in the manner predicted by alarmist computer models. The Terra satellite data also support data collected by NASA's ERBS satellite showing far more longwave radiation (and thus, heat) escaped into space between 1985 and 1999 than alarmist computer models had predicted. Together, the NASA ERBS and Terra satellite data show that for 25 years and counting, carbon dioxide emissions have directly and indirectly trapped far less heat than alarmist computer models have predicted.
In short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space. Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the earth's atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.
When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a "huge discrepancy" between alarmist climate models and real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are.
James M. Taylor is senior fellow for environment policy at The Heartland Institute and managing editor of Environment & Climate News.
I am happy to see that Forbes ran with this article. Although I think we should all do whatever we can to keep the world we share beautiful and livable, I really am tired of seeing and hearing people using global warming as a tool to sell books and movies. I have worked on over 50 green energy projects in the last decade and never has a politician been involved.
Rich Cocovich
Global Star Capital
As far as I can tell, whatever we're doing to "keep the world we share beautiful and livable" is falling short of the mark. This is no by accident:
Rich, did you even do any research to find out whether or not what is said in this article is valid, or are you just taking the author's word for it.
In other words, this author's research has been discredited soundly by a number of scientists around the world, and his study, from which the data is taken has Exxon-Mobil as a client.
Look it up.
You seem to have gotten the impression from Taylor that the paper by Spencer & Braswell merely directly compared the measurements of climate to the standard GCMs, and reported a discrepancy. That is not so, and such a simplistic finding would never qualify for publication, in any scientific journal of any kind. There is always analysis, and like their peers in climate science, Spencer and Braswell's predictions depend on computer modeling.
from Spencer & Braswell 2011, pages 8 & 9:
For the radiative forcing N(t) we used a time series of normally-distributed monthly random numbers with box filter smoothing of 9 months to approximate the time scales of variations seen in the climate models and observations in Figure 3. A separate time series of random numbers without low pass filtering was used for the non-radiative forcing S(t). This mimics what we believe to be intraseasonal oscillations in the heat flux between the ocean and atmosphere seen in the data [5,13]. (In other words, that is their hypothesis.)
The model time step was one month, and the model simulations were carried out for 500 years of simulated time…
Figure 4. Lag regression coefficients between temperature and radiative flux from the simple forcing-feedback model run for three forcing cases: pure non-radiative forcing (dotted line); pure radiative forcing (dashed line); and a 70% radiative/30% non-radiative forcing mixture. A feedback parameter of 3 W m−2 K−1 and ocean mixing depth of 25 m were specified for all three simulations, which each ran for 500 years of simulated time.
Roy Spencer is a climate scientist, and he uses the same methods as all other climate scientists, including computer modeling, and including adjusting and processing data in the ways that he believes to be the best mathematical representation of the physical processes that they're all trying to understand.
Either all the models are worthless because of some axiomatic belief about the inherent failings of computer models, or all models, including Spencer's and Braswell's, are potentially valuable contingent on their ability to mimic past climate and to provide predictions of some features of climate in the future which eventually prove correct.
To accept that Spencer's model-based findings (which were reported erroneously by Taylor as direct inferences from raw data) mean anything at all, you must first accept that climate modeling is a legitimate scientific tool, and then you have to examine the minutiae of each to evaluate their merits. Are you willing to do that?
You are spot on bro.
Dr. Roy Spencer is on the board of directors of the George C. Marshall Institute, and on the board of advisors of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. Enough said.
Global mean temps are still going up, land and sea ice levels are still going down, and carbon dioxide level in at the atmosphere is at its highest level in the history of measurement. Never mind that Spencer sells his phd to the highest bidder and believes in intelligent design, the facts of climate change speak for themselves, and the facts are made available by NASA itself: http://climate.nasa.gov/
Your op/ed is cherry picking, James. Sea level is rising at about 3.27 mm per year, about twice the rate of sea level rise in the twentieth century. Greenland is losing 100 billion tons of ice per year to the open ocean. The Arctic sea ice minimum is decreasing by 11.5 percent per year. See http://climate.nasa.gov/ for more info. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's most recently published monthly measurement for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for June 2011 stood at 393.69 ppm. That's the highest level in at least 650,000 years. All this to say that Dr. Roy Spencer's findings, such as they are, are insufficient to account for or neutralize the spiraling effects of climate change. Even if the lonely Dr. Spencer is right, we are still creating a climate catastrophe by continual fossil fuel use. Whatever Spencer's claims, we are forcing the climate into dangerous feedbacks that create a threat to the world of stable climate that we and our children came to life in.

Join the discussion about health care issues in our nation and community on our blog, WakeMed Voices.
Symptoms of a possible heart attack include chest pain and pain that radiates down the shoulder and arm. Some people (the elderly, people with diabetes, and women) may have little or no chest pain. Or, they may experience unusual symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness).
Women are more likely than men to have symptoms of nausea, vomiting, back or jaw pain, and shortness of breath with chest pain.

In the first segment:
Federal District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled this afternoon that House Bill 2, the controversial abortion law that saw filibusters, as well as hundreds of protesters fill the capitol in Austin last legislative session, would have impinged on a woman's rights.
The Paul Jolly Center for Pet Adoptions is now open at Brackenridge Park and leaders are hoping the fresh design will make an impact on adoptions in a city that has struggled with animal overpopulation.
"We want this to be a destination [and] not just only for adoptions," said Joel Mclellan, the director of operations for the center.
Former U.S. House Majority Leader Republican Tom DeLay told a tea party group that God has told him to lead a constitutional revival. What that means for his political future remains to be seen.

For some time, many thought Texas Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn would run unopposed during the Republican primaries next March, but this week, Houston immigration attorney Linda Vega announced she would be challenging the twelve-year incumbent.
"For someone who's been a senator for twelve years, I can't to the best of my knowledge recall any policy that he's proposed that has been good for Texas," Vega said. "If you are going to be a senior senator, if you are going to lead, lead. Don't wait for someone else to propose something."
Despite criticisms from Republicans, Democratic candidate for governor Wendy Davis is spending time in Washington D.C. next week for a major fundraising dinner.
The event Davis has been asked to speak at is to be hosted by the groups Battleground Texas and the Lone Start Project.

Name-calling, accusations of lying, and mudslinging are what people have come to expect of the debate between the four Republican candidates for Texas lieutenant governor, but in front of the Montgomery County Tea Party on Wednesday a new idea was introduced that all four of the candidates agree on.
Northside Independent School District's community bond meetings began Thursday in an effort to define the most critical needs for the largest school district in Bexar County. Their next bond issue is planned for 2014.
The city of San Antonio's population growth is reflected in its most popular school districts, and NISD is no exception. NISD spokesman Pascual Gonzales says the district's population of over 100,000 is growing by about 2,500 students a year.
