Terrible crimes lead to soul-searching over social costs of deterioration
Blog Entry:
July 25, 2013 1:24 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
The latest
horrific crime
in the Cleveland area draws attention to the "social costs of deterioration," according to
this story
The New York Times
Gov. John Kasich said as much Monday when he had this to say about the murder of three women in East Cleveland: "This is what happens when you have poverty. It's what happens when you have individuals who are very dangerous inside the community and somehow lose track of them."
The Times
says the crimes "exposed how a city that is proud of its downtown business revival and world-class cultural and medical institutions continues to harbor pockets of despair and social breakdown. … Cleveland was hit especially hard by the foreclosure crisis, and its legacy of abandoned homes has frayed neighborhoods, leaving behind those who cannot afford to get out, while providing shelter to people on the social margins. Areas with many vacant and abandoned homes are breeding grounds for crime, local officials said."
Supporters of the $324 million
Opportunity Corridor
, including Mayor Frank Jackson, believe that project will help poor neighborhoods. But Jeffrey Johnson, a City Council member whose ward is in the path of the project, says it's just a way to speed suburbanites to jobs and shopping while bypassing poverty.
"Instead of restoring the streets, they go around them," he tells
The Times
. "It's a slap in the face. It's symbolic of the problem."
sounds like a fun way for high school teachers to spend the summer.
The Westchester County (N.Y.) Journal News
profiles three teachers from New York State who were part of this year's Summer Teacher Institute at the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
David Grazioli, 30, a math teacher at Rye Neck High School, came away with a deeper appreciation of the art form.
"Rock is meaningful," he says. "It ties into emotional things. You have memories spurred by songs and artists. If you can tap into that, you can make a real difference."
Mr. Grazioli, Richard Kauffman, 48, of Riverside High School in Yonkers and Martin Billig, 53, of New Rochelle High School, spent a week this month at the Rock Hall. They were there "to take popular music seriously, to look at rock and rap academically, and to learn how to use the history, rhythms, poetry and business of the devil's music in their classrooms," according to the story.
The program drew about 40 teachers, including one from as far away as Australia.
"They saw John Lennon's Rickenbacker guitar, Janis Joplin's 1965 Porsche, a piece of the fuselage from Otis Redding's final flight, guitars and costumes that the Rolling Stones used on stage for years, and many more artifacts from rock's paramount moments and stages," according to the story. "They even went to an Eagles concert in Cleveland, heard Joe Walsh sing Life's Been Good, and then read his handwritten lyrics in the hall."
More importantly, "seasoned musicologists explained to them how all the exhibits tie into the larger context of America's popular, cultural and even political history," the paper reports.
Mr. Kauffman, who teaches English literature, already uses music and lyrics in his lessons, but he says that he learned in Cleveland to interpret lyrics in new ways.
"If you use music well, the kids love it," he said.
What's the Midwest to you?
That's the question posed in
this post
from TheAtlanticCities.com, which looks at a new exhibit, "Reinvention in the Urban Midwest," by design and planning firm Sasaki Associates that opened at the Boston Society of Architects Space this week.
"The project includes an interactive survey that contains a timeless challenge: Draw the geographic boundaries of what counts as the U.S. Midwest," TheAtlanticCities.com reports.
The 150 or so survey responses so far is not a huge sample, but the
"are already showing some fascinating patterns," the website says.
There's general acceptance that Ohio is, in fact, a Midwestern state. (The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Midwest as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin to the east, plus Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota to the west.)
But some of the responses are including Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Montana, Oklahoma and Wyoming as part of the Midwest.
Maybe a loss in Cleveland kicked the U.S. men's soccer team into a higher gear.
This blog post
The Washington Post
notes that the team, which will play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final on Sunday in Chicago, has won a team-record nine straight games since a 4-2 friendly loss to Belgium on May 29 at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The victories since then: Germany, 4-3; Jamaica, 2-1; Panama, 2-0; Honduras, 1-0; Guatemala, 6-0; Belize, 6-1; Cuba, 4-1; Costa Rica, 1-0; and El Salvador, 5-1.
If you're keeping score, that's a goal difference of 31-7.

Officials with the Transportation Security Administration are reporting a record number of guns seized from airline travelers in 2013.
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport had 98 seizures and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston had 67 seizures, the second and third highest number of gun seizures in the country. Atlanta was the number one airport where passengers were caught with a concealed handgun and had 110 seizures.
Violinist and SOLI Chamber Ensemble Artistic Director Ertan Torgul said his group specializes in contemporary classical music and has commissioned over 40 works in the group's time together.
They pay musicians to write new classical compositions and then SOLI debuts them in San Antonio.
"All we're doing really is performing stuff that is new, just like in Beethoven's day," Torgul said.
Torgul reminds us that even the classics were contemporary at one time.
"We're doing the same thing for today's composers," he said.
San Antonio will be taking control of 21.8 miles of roads within the city that are currently owned and maintained by the state.
But to get to this point, city leaders placed strict conditional requirements on the Texas Department of Transportation.
Some of Texas' biggest trade and business associations are looking to counter anti-big government groups like the tea party that have crowded recent Republican primaries -- the group's effort is in response to actions taken in the past legislative session against state infrastructure bills.
The Texas Future Business Alliance is made up of ten business groups that are supporting Republican candidates who have supported water infrastructure bills and transportation and education funding in the past.
San Antonio is a city full of murals, but the new one in the Government Hill neighborhood represents something more. San Anto Cultural Arts Center's Public Art Program Manager John Medina explains how it came about.
"Earlier in the year we were contacted by City Center Health Careers and they wanted us to team up with them to paint the mural and teach it as part of their curriculum," Medina said. "Previous to this they didn't have an art class."
So what does a mural and art have to do with City Center Heath Careers Charter School?"
Medina explained the big picture:
Just before the ninth-annual Texas Transportation Forum got underway in San Antonio, leaders announced a $800 million investment in the city that will expand portions of Hwy 281, Loop 1604 and I-10. The move makes way for toll lanes on portions of the roadways, but there will continue to be free lanes.
San Antonio District 6 Councilman Ray Lopez said the forum is a chance to get ideas from other entities on how they are moving people.
In the first segment:
Bexar County's CareLink program, which is run by University Health System, helps low-income citizens access healthcare. So does the Affordable Care Act, and as the ACA continues to be implemented, changes are coming to CareLink, which assists more than 50,000 people.
As a panel of federal judges on the US 5th Circuit Court is wrestling with a decision in the lawsuit against Texas' new abortion law andattorneys for pro-abortion groups are exploring what comes next, which could mean taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court or seeking a new panel at the circuit court level.
Two of the judges on the 5th Circuit panel are the same justices that threw out a lower court's injunction, which allowed the hospital admitting privileges requirement to take effect while both sides waited for a trial and decision.
With the economic recovery still in progress, agencies around the country are prioritizing where their dollars are going, and some important nonprofits are missing out on funding.
Such is the case for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which pulled about $200,000 in funding from Generation TX San Antonio, a college readiness and resource center for first generation college students.
The Vogel Gryff Festival, held in Switzerland, could be described as wishful thinking, because January 13th 2014, is most certainly, not remotely or positively anywhere near the end of winter! But since the 13th century, Swiss folk in Basel have enjoyed this fun event that aims to chase away the winter, and also mocks the city elite.

BELLEVUE – After securing a shutout victory Saturday morning to reach the 3A baseball regional final, Timberline was held to two hits in a 5-1 loss to Eastside Catholic to end the Blazers' season at Bannerwood Park.
Junior Blake Gillespie, the Crusaders' starter, set the Blazers down in order for most of the game, and didn't allow a Timberline baserunner from the second through the sixth innings.
"It was tough," Timberline coach Derek Weldon said. "This time of the year, a lot has to do with the pack of arms you have."
Timberline (15-7) started the day with a 5-0 victory over West Seattle, highlighted by a 3-for-4 performance at the plate by Rick Ahlf and a combined shutout by freshman starter Matt Mercer (six-plus innings) and reliever Ty Carlton.
Despite being one victory away from reaching the final four for the first time sine 2009, the Blazers did something no previous Timberline baseball team had ever done: reach state in back-to-back seasons, led by three seniors Ahlf, Ryan Tydingco and Charlie Hinson. Hinson and Tydingco were the 3A Narrows League's MVP in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
"Those kids were so successful here," Weldon said.
2A District IV: Black Hills senior Julie Hansen captured the 2A District IV singles title with a 6-4, 6-2 sweep of Centralia sophomore Anna Scheibmeir at the Mint Valley Racquet Club in Longview.
The pair also met in last weekend's 2A EvCo subdistrict meet where Hansen won, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4. The top three singles players and doubles teams advance to next weekend's Class 2A state tournament at the University of Washington's Nordstrom Tennis Center.
In doubles, Tumwater's No. 1 team of Emily Barclift and McKenzie Click will make their third trip to state, despite falling to W.F. West's top doubles team of Reile Slattery and Aleassa Wren, 6-2, 6-4. Slattery and Wren also defeated Barclift and Click in last weekend's subdistrict tournament.
"They (Slattery and Wren) played really strong and our girls were a little bit off," Tumwater coach Jim Click said.
Tumwater and Centralia shared the district team title. Tumwater's Olivia Koelsch placed fourth, losing to Hockinson's Michelle Chiou, whom Koelsch defeated 6-3, 6-3 on Friday.
3A West Central District: The No. 1 singles players from Yelm and Timberline – Ester Hotova and Natalie Sypeck – earned state berths in next weekend's 3A state tournament after surviving loser-out matches. Hotova topped Sypeck in the fourth/sixth-place consolation match.
4A West Central District: Olympia's Gemma Robinson bounced back from an opening-round loss at the 4A West Central/Southwest bi-district tournament to place seventh and earn a state berth at next weekend's 4A state tournament. Robinson captured in the seventh/eighth-place match after an injury default by Maddie Turek of Tahoma, who won the first set 6-3. The Bears placed seventh as a team with eight points.
4A West Central/Southwest bi-district: Olympia's John Stormans and Hunter Wood, the defending 4A boys doubles state champions, came back from a first-set loss to defeat Kentwood's Alex Noyes and Paul Lennick, 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-1, to win the bi-district doubles title.
Stormans and Wood cruised to three straight-set victories in the first-round, quarterfinals and semifinals to reach the championship match. The pair helped Olympia tie for second with 10 points in the team race. Union (24) won the team title.
In the 3A district tournament, Timberline senior Jeremy Marsh earned his first state berth (sixth place), defeating Columbia River's Chris Perez in a winner-to-state, loser-out consolation match, then battled Kennedy's Vincent Viloria in a 3-hour, 40-minute fourth/sixth-place match. Viloria won but Marsh battled back from a deficit in a tiebreaker.
"It was an amazing desire to win," Timberline coach Diane Weston said.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette —
The Power's three-game winning streak came to a halt as they split a doubleheader with the Geneva Twins in a New York Collegiate Baseball League matchup.
The Twins would take game one of the doubleheader on a two-strike, two-out game-winning double to right in the top of the seventh inning off of The Power's Caleb Jordan to take a 3-2 lead.
Daniel Sharpe would get the next three batters out for Geneva in the bottom of the seventh to secure the win.
In game two, the story was much different for the Power in the fifth inning off the bat of Bobby Twitty.
Twitty, who hit a three-run homerun on Monday against Hornell, hit a grand slam to put the Power up 6-0 — a lead they would not lose. He would finish the game 2 for 3 with two hits and four RBIs.
Hunter Lewis got the win on the mound, going five innings allowing just three hits and striking out three. Travis Laitar got the save.
The Power are now 4-2 in the league and will have off on Saturday before traveling to Wellsville to take on the Nitros Sunday. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

There are a couple of different ways to invoke a subroutine, and I sometimes get asked which way is needed when and what are the differences among them. The question arises because people see some code that uses the ampersand (&) for function calls, and other code that does not, and some code that uses parentheses and some that does not.
Do we need the ampersand, and if so, when. The short answer is no, we do not need the ampersand to invoke a function (but we do need it to take a reference to an existing named function). Here's the main ways of calling a function you've created named 'foo':
&foo(); # calls foo with no arguments &foo($arg); # calls foo with $arg foo(); # calls foo with no arguments foo($arg); # calls foo with $arg
Doesn't seem to be much difference right? Well, there is one difference and that is that if 'foo' is defined with prototypes, the versions above using the ampersand disable those prototypes (which could lead to subtle bugs if you are using a module where the routines have prototypes and you are simply ignoring those prototypes by using the ampersand to call its functions).
All of the above used parentheses in the calls, but parentheses are not always required — if you define or declare the subroutine prior to calling it then you may call it without parentheses:
sub foo { print "you passed: @_\n"; } foo; foo 1, 2, 3;
Now you can call 'foo' without parentheses just like a built-in routine may be called without parentheses. However, if you use the ampersand and no parentheses, something very different happens: The function is called using the current value of @_ as the argument list. This can be used to pass arguments on from one function to another:
foo(1,2,3); # call foo with (1,2,3) foo(); # calls foo with no arguments sub foo { die "no arguments given to foo" unless @_; &bar; # same as: bar(@_); } sub bar { print "You passed: (@_ ) to foo()\n"; }
The above all holds true for subroutine references as well (except there aren't prototypes on sub references):
my $sref = sub{print "You passed: @_\n";}; @_ = (1,2,3); &$sref(); # calls sref with no args $sref->(); # calls sref with no args &$sref; # calls sref with @_
However, if you want to take a reference to a named subroutine, then you have to use an ampersand to get the reference:
sub foo {print "You passed: @_\n"} my $sref = \&foo; $sref->(1,2,3);
With all this variation, what's the best way to do things? Different folks have different answers, but my answer is to always call a function without the ampersand, and always use parentheses. This rule is very simple, leads to clean code, and won't give you surprises with regards to prototypes if you ever decide to use them (or use another module that uses them).
(note: &bar; and bar(@_) are actually slightly different: the former calls bar() reusing the current @_ array, the latter passes a copy of the @_ array — not that makes a difference for most purposes).

Things to consider when selecting units
Do you want to study a language?
Take a diploma alongside you degree
Study units at another university
Do you plan to transfer your course?
Do you want to study a language?
You can start from the very beginning. If you have previous experience in a language, you can continue to develop your expertise in the language at a level appropriate to you.
Make sure you refer to the areas of study entry for your chosen language as this will show you the various language entry points.
Language placement tests
If you have previously studied the language, either formally at school, or informally, you are required to undergo a placement test. These are organised by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics.
Take a diploma alongside your degree
Our undergraduate diplomas allow you to pursue an interest in an area of study from Monash Arts concurrently with a degree at Monash or another Australian institution.
Diplomas are available in almost every area of study. It is the equivalent of a full major (8 units), and generally adds a further year to the length of studies.
Further information is available here: Arts undergraduate diplomas
Note: Unfortunately, because our diplomas are offered on a part-time basis they are not available to international student visa holders.
Study units at another university
Complementary Studies is when you study units at another Australian university as part of your Monash degree. You can do this if the unit is not offered by the Faculty of Arts at Monash in a particular semester.
Please visit the complementary studies website for further information.
Do you plan to transfer courses?
Many students begin their first degree with the intention of transferring to another. It is also possible to apply for a campus transfer in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts (Global) and Bachelor of Arts (International).
Transfer to a double degree
Make sure you check both the course outline for your current degree and the double degree to which you intend to transfer.
If you intend to transfer to a double degree and want to take units from another faculty, you should note that you may not receive full credit for units completed. For example, if you completed a marketing unit in the Bachelor of Arts and then transferred to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws you would not receive credit for the marketing unit in the double degree course.
When can you transfer?
It will depend on the managing faculty; make sure you speak to them about transferring. Remember the course outline tells you which faculty manages your course. You must complete a minimum of 12 credit points to apply to transfer and you may also have to achieve a certain average grade.
More information

University transfer information
Units that require permission
A small number of Arts units require permission to enrol because place numbers are limited. You cannot enrol in these units online.
Find out which units require permission here: Units that require authorisation
How to enrol in a unit requiring permission

Oh, quiche. I love you so, and yet I rarely make you. I don't know why, as you aren't exactly a complicated dish to prepare. Bake some pastry, saute some veggies, whisk some eggs, and voila! Dinner (after a quick stint in the oven) is served!
1 round of pastry (see here for my usual recipe)
3 cups finely chopped kale
1 leek, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
3 tbsp flour
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Roll out your pastry and fit it into the bottom of a pie pan.
Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes at 400º while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Cook the kale and leeks in the olive oil until softened – about 7 minutes.
Mix the veggies, cheese, seasoning and flour in a large bowl.
Take the pie crust out of the oven and lower the temperature to 350º.
Pat the cheese and veggie mix into the bottom of the pie.
In the same bowl you used for the veggies and cheese, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the quiche fillings. At this point, you can also sprinkle on some bonus cheese, if desired.
Bake the quiche for 30-40 minutes, or until the egg at the middle is set.

Daily Star
---- —
I have talked and written about old age and most of the "ughs." That's boo-boos and blunders and I ended the column with: "Most likely our readers could add many more." True?
Here's a few of my "many mores," and probably yours too.
As years go by, I hope I'm not too distressed, since I'm still here. I'll just write them down in a notebook to reminisce later and have a good laugh as I remember the many blunders that sometime start out being somewhat difficult and a bit embarrassing.
Yes, I'm still here and I wrote an addendum.
Have you ever?
"¢ Put the garbage (nicely bagged) in the refrigerator? I have.
"¢ Put some piece of clothing on backwards or inside out? I have.
"¢ Forgotten why you went downstairs or upstairs or in the other room? Haven't we all?
"¢ Left a half consumed mug of coffee on top of the car and driven away? Yes.
"¢ How about leaving business papers on the hood of the car and driving away? (We were fortunately young enough to be able to run after and rescue them all.)
"¢ The many times of forgetting the grocery list. When putting "brains" on paper and then forgetting the list or even dropping it somewhere as I shop ... well, that is too many times.
"¢ Wearing eye glasses, supposedly, and then forgetting where they are for they're not on your nose (as should be). There they are perched on top of your head, nestled in your hair. No, not me, for mine are always on my nose where they should be. Yes, that was, my sweet grandmother, years ago and a lesson learned.
"¢ Have you ever made sure you have the check book but then only one check left? At least there is a saving. (That was back when "plastic" wasn't so popular).
"¢ Mentioning checks: It's so embarrassing to carefully write out a check, making sure all is correct, and then forget to sign it. It comes back in the mail and you eat humble pie with apologies.
"¢ I love the blunder when my hubby wants to take me out to lunch and then forgets his wallet. Oops! I get to drive home. (Yes, I still have a loving husband, which is a blessing.)
"¢ Having the medical folks phone to remind us of an appointment is greatly appreciated. Even though I try to write everything down on my calendar I still make mistakes.
"¢ It wasn't too many years ago that I left the car parked at the post office and walked home. It's a good thing we only lived two blocks away at the time when I discovered our car was missing.
There is so much to chuckle over.
As many have said: You can't go through this life without a sense of humor and especially so as to laugh at yourself. Even medical science has proven that laughter is good medicine.
Also, doesn't Proverbs 17:22 tell us that "a merry (joyful) heart doeth good like medicine ...?" I certainly believe in that.
"¢ How many times have we observed someone aimlessly wander in the super market parking lot looking for his car? (I remember when and snicker).
I try to always pay more than the usual attention to what I am doing as age goes on.
Almost getting into the wrong car that resembles yours is upsetting especially when you wonder where all the clutter came from.
I guess we all can relate to many of the above along with perhaps adding the blunder of inattentively leaving an umbrella, coat or hat at a restaurant.
But forgetting and leaving a pack of beer on the bottom of the shopping cart is something we hope never to repeat. All turned out OK, for we phoned the market to humorously explain what we did in our old "ageisms."
The management was extremely understanding and gave us another.
That was a nice experience ... almost like "turning a curse into a blessing."

Inevitable Illusions: How Mistakes of Reason Rule Our Minds
Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini
Publisher:John Wiley & Sons Inc
Publication Date:1996
Harvard University
Everyone knows that optical illusions trick us because of the way we see. Now scientists have discovered that cognitive illusions, a set of biases deeply embedded in the human mind, can actually distort the way we think.
In Inevitable Illusions, distinguished cognitive researcher Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini takes us on a provocative, challenging, and thoroughly entertaining exploration of the games our minds play. He opens the doors onto the newly charted realm of the cognitive unconscious to reveal the full range of illusions, showing how they inhibit our ability to reason-no matter what our educational background or IQ. Inevitable Illusions is stimulating, eye-opening food for thought.

By Christopher S. Rugaber and Anne D'Innocenzio
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bleaker outlooks at retailers like Wal-Mart and Macy's are raising doubts that consumers will spend enough in coming months to lift the still-subpar U.S. economy.
Though the economy is growing steadily, Americans are being hampered by weak pay, higher taxes and tepid hiring. Sluggish overseas economies are also slowing sales for U.S. retailers. It's a picture the Federal Reserve will weigh in deciding whether to scale back its bond purchases as soon as next month.
"Consumers aren't going to start spending with abandon until we see much stronger job and wage growth," said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo.
Average weekly paychecks have grown just 1.3 percent since the recession ended more than four years ago. Over the past 12 months, pay has trailed even low inflation. That's partly why spending has remained lackluster and why many Americans may be postponing purchases at department stores so they can buy cars, homes and other costly necessities.
Americans increased their spending at an annual rate of just 1.8 percent in the April-June quarter — down from a 2.3 percent rate in the January-March period. Consumer spending is expected to improve in the second half of the year. But most economists foresee only a slight acceleration to an annual rate of 2 percent to 2.5 percent.
Those spending rates are historically weak. And they're too meager to significantly boost the economy, which grew at an annual rate of just 1.4 percent in the first half of the year. Consumer spending fuels about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.
For much of this year, many Americans have made major purchases that they had postponed during the recession and the weak recovery. Auto and home sales have strengthened. Yet that's left less spending money for discretionary purchases such as electronic goods, clothes and eating out.
"Consumers are very much need-based," said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a retail research firm. "If they're buying a new car, that leaves less money for a child's wardrobe."
That trend has weakened the sales and profits of retailers like Macy's. On Wednesday, Macy's reported a disappointing profit for its second quarter and cut its outlook for the year.
And Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, issued an earnings report Thursday that intensified worries about the strength of U.S. consumers, long a driving force for the global economy.

As of Wednesday, March 27, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
AMERICUS, Ga. -- The current chief of the Sumter County Fire Department has been indicted by a grand jury in Jasper County, S.C., public records show.
Chief John Ekaitis is facing misdemeanor misconduct in office, malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance charges stemming from an investigation into the Hardeeville, S.C. city government.
Ekaitis, who was hired as the Sumter County Fire Chief in 2011, served as the fire chief in Hardeeville from 2003 to 2007.
He, former city administrator R. Shane Haynes, former Police Chief James Hubbard, former police Lt. Eric Washington and former city treasurer Santesia Henderson were each indicted following an investigation, according to islandpacket.com, the local newspaper based in Hilton Head, S.C.
The allegations reportedly involve acts and omissions "including but not limited to abuse of the leave-cashing policy" at some point between 2005 and 2006, the paper states.
When contacted Wednesday, Ekaitis declined to speak on-the-record about the charges citing the fact that matter is still before the courts, but did refer the Herald to his attorney, Jim Brown. As of press time, Brown had not returned calls seeking comment.
According to the Jasper County Judicial Circuit clerk of Court website, Ekaitis was indicted on March 21.

Here is this years trophy!!
Damn it! I would have tried harder.
Wait, that's for the best regular season record, right? Yes!
I would have loved that trophy last year, this year I am on the major losing side of every game.
My Father,My Friend,My teacher,and now My Angel~ 04/21/1956-03/21/2011 You will always be missed. I hope to learn half of the stuff you knew.
~Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted~
I am going to set up the playoff thing like last year.
It's kinda hard to believe the season is almost over.
Went way too fast this year!
Who do you guys likin' to win this mess?
Manning is having one of the greatest seasons if not the greatest season ever by a QB and he plays outdoors. Add a talented D, a solid run game and good receivers and I think they have what it takes. I also think HC Fox is one of the best at his job and I was happy to see him leave Carolina.
I think it will be the Broncos vs either the Panthers or Seahawks.

Johnstown police released a photograph of the man who last week robbed a First National Bank branch downtown at gunpoint.
City police Chief Craig Foust said a black male with light skin or a Hispanic male wearing a black hoodie robbed the bank on Walnut Street at 1:10 p.m. June 11.
The robber entered the bank, displayed a handgun and demanded money. The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of money, and the robber fled in a stolen pickup truck.
No injuries were reported. At least one customer and several employees were in the bank, Foust said.
The pickup truck had been reported stolen in Old Conemaugh Borough minutes before the bank was robbed, Foust said.
The truck was recovered a short time later near an abandoned building on William Penn Avenue, a few miles from the bank, he said.
The truck's owner was doing some type of work when his vehicle was stolen.
"For convenience he had his keys in the truck," Foust said.
Police are investigating whether a second person was involved.
"There was a suspicious person who was in the bank earlier," Foust said.
"But at this point we're only looking for one individual."
The FBI is investigating whether similar robberies have happened elsewhere.
"The FBI is making contact with their people outside the area," Foust said. "They have the capability to reach out to larger cities up and down the East Coast."
Anyone with information on the bank robbery can contact authorities at 800-281-1680.

Eastside drivers take note: The Washington State Department of Transportation is planning closures of State Route 520 and Interstate 405 through September. Take note of the following dates:
Nightly closures of Interstate 405, Sept. 12-15
Crews will shut down one direction of I-405 each night to set girders for the second half of the . Northbound I-405 will beclosed between NE Eighth Street and SR 520 Monday and Tuesday nights; Southbound I-405 will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday nights. These closures will take place from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night. Drivers should expect 15 minutes of additional travel time for the signed detour.
You can watch the snapshot progress of the girder setting using the WSDOT traffic cameras online.
This work is part of the Bellevue Braids Project, which will build new multi-level "braided" ramps to separate vehicles entering and exiting northbound I-405 between NE 8th Street and SR 520 in Bellevue, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Full SR 520 bridge closure Sept. 16-19
The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to completely close the SR 520 floating bridge and highway from I-405 to Montlake Boulevard in Seattle from Sept. 16-19.
It is one of the scheduled closures as part of the , a $306 million project that will upgrade culverts, reconfigure the HOV lanes, add access for transit.
During this month's closure, crews will remove the western half of the Bellevue Way bridge to make room for a new, wider bridge. They will also install barriers and striping and repair potholes.
Detour signs will be posted around the corridor, but drivers are encouraged to plan ahead. The most up-to-date SR 520 construction information is found through the Eastside project page. The WSDOT also has a map of this month's work (pdf 284 KB).
Weekend closure of I-405 Sept. 23-26
The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to open the new ramps that are part of the . The state plans to shut down northbound I-405 for 53 hours starting Friday, Sept. 23 at 11 p.m. while crews connect the new on-ramps from NE Eighth Street to I-405 and from NE 10th Street to SR 520. Once the ramps are open, Bellevue drivers will have direct access to the highways without the current weaving of merging traffic.

An Interdisciplinary Major
The Biological Basis of Behavior Program (BBB) is an interdisciplinary major in which students explore biological, psychological, computational and clinical approaches to understand the nervous system as the biological basis of behavior, as well as perception, memory, motivation, and emotion. The BBB program, created in 1978 as one of the first neuroscience undergraduate programs in the country, allows students to explore a broad range of topics in the neural sciences through courses taught by faculty and staff in several departments in the School of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine.
Cutting Edge Neuroscience Research
A distinguishing feature of the major is the emphasis placed on encouraging students to become actively involved in research. Each year more than eighty BBB majors are engaged in cutting edge research throughout campus seeking to push forward our knowledge of how neural circuits give rise to complex behaviors and how these circuits go awry in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Many students in the BBB Program are actively involved in community outreach, participating in the annual Kids Judge Neuroscience Fair for elementary school students from West Philadelphia.
Undergraduates interested in majoring in BBB should take BIBB 109, Introduction to Brain and Behavior, as early as possible in their undergraduate career. This course provides an overview of neuroscience and is required for all upper-level BIBB courses.

The Department of Defense has awarded Mercer University a $12.4 million contract to help the Air Force keep its aging helicopters flying.
The Mercer Engineering Research Center, a nonprofit unit of Mercer University located in Warner Robins, will perform a wide range of analyses to identify and solve structural and mechanical integrity issues, according to a Department of Defense news release.
All Air Force helicopters are managed by the Life Cycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base. The contract calls for examination of the TH-1H, a training helicopter; the UH1N Huey, which provides security for nuclear missile sites; and the HH-60G Pave Hawk, which is used for combat search and rescue and is the Air Force version of the Armys Black Hawk.
According to the release, the Mercer effort will include engineering services and research to identify issues associated with the increasing age of the aircraft, such as fatigue cracking, damage tolerance and corrosion.
The expected completion date is Sept. 19, 2014.
This effort benefits the Air Force by helping increase aircraft availability and reducing maintenance downtime, the release states.
Kyle Sears, Mercers director of media relations, said the school had no comment on the contract at this time but may issue additional information next week.
To contact writer Wayne Crenshaw, call 256-9725.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Demps Grips are Great but the service was AWESOME!!!! I needed new grips on all my irons (P-4), and had been looking around mostly at the golf courses I play at but not finding anything I liked. I found exactly what I wanted (Midsize grips) at Dick's; but I had a match the following day so I didn't think I could have them gripped that day but the golf sales associate asked me if I had them, and of course they were in my truck. I ran and got them and he put them straight on ... took about 15 minutes but we talked about golf so it seemd like 5!!! Great service, used them at my match that next day without any issues. I also tied my career best score (77) shortly after and hope to beat that here shortly :) I have told MANY of my golfing buddies to go to Dick's if they need their clubs regripped!!! Thank you, Demps June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by D-ROCK36 verry comfortable I didn't know what I was missing out on. I have used other grips in the past but this one was great. I have fairly large hands and the mid size grip was a good fit. also I felt I could hold the club with far less grip pressure. a great looking grip, I only whish is it came in GREEN!! June 10, 2014

Looks like Paul's been time travelling again. i like the article though. It covers exactly what i have spent the past hour searching for.
Well at least you got the
Well at least you got the info a week early! ;) This is a very comprehensive article about app programming. While I don't have the technical expertise to craft the SL4a technique without conquering a steep learning curve, it does open my eyes to a new way to do things. This is particularly helpful since I've been learning how mobile solutions are being tapped into by users. As one can imagine, a company that does mobile marketing(example: http://www.exacttarget.com) is going to have different needs then a company that specializes in manufacturing, or a user who wants to simplify his/her "mobile" life. Right now I fall into the latter category, but that doesn't mean I won't have a vastly different agenda in regards to app programming in the future.
Time will tell if Android development via Python is something I will tap into, but it's nice to have the programming app horizon broadened. Options are good!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Convert INSERT INTO to an UPDATE
I've a query that matches GPS points to locations. This is done periodically for every new point. So points that are not in a location get the value 'NULL' as location_id.
Now I want an update function for if I change or add existing locations. First off, lets just assume we only add locations (by adding them or making existing ones bigger)
I have this inser query:
INSERT INTO gps_point_locations (gps_point_id, location_id) SELECT GpsPoint.id AS gps_point_id, Location.id AS location_id FROM gps_points AS GpsPoint INNER JOIN gps_points_geo AS gp ON GpsPoint.id = gp.gps_point_id LEFT JOIN locations AS Location ON CONTAINS(Location.geo_poly, gp.gps_point_geo) WHERE GpsPoint.date BETWEEN "2012-04-27 00:00:00" AND "2012-04-27 23:59:59" AND GpsPoint.unit_id=91
one table has for each gps_point a geo-point (gps_point_geo)
one table has all the locations (locations)
one table has the result with points matched to a location (gps_point_locations)
As you can see I changed the query to select not only new points, but just points that fall between a period of a track (in which the vehicle passed through the changed locations)
This query will be very heavy if not set up properly.
Any ideas how to make a UPDATE function for this?What good are one-liners if they don't

In the first part of the movie he kills her family and she escapes. He is known as the Jew Hunter and never lets any Jews escape him. Later when he meets her under her assumed name Emmanuelle he makes references that suggests that he does recognize her. However the conversation could also have meant nothing. If he did actually recognize her I find it very strange that he didn't do anything about her.
I believe it depends on the viewer whether to take it as an indication to the accident or not. When we as viewers of the movie see the whole conversation happening in every moment we feel the fear of revelation of Shoshana's original identity to the Colonel, given we are already been introduced with his cunning and cold but cruel behavior. We feel such because the whole story is shown from the start how she survives from the unnecessary chasing of the Colonel (from her point of view). So when after a long time Shoshana meets with him, we as well as her, feel fear to see the executioner of her family and if he might recognize her! So maybe the Colonel did not identify her (chances is 99%). But we (Shoshana and us) automatically feel fear. His ordering milk for her or the last sentences by him:
pushes us in the wrong direction out of this fear. As long as the conversation went on, we hold our breath with her and when he leaves, we loose it! So I think the conversation was nothing regarding him identifying her. He was just trying to dig into her individuality as a quality security officer (Though bad in nature, we can't ignore his responsibility to his work!). But the fear of blowing her cover makes us make out unnecessary meaning and that is how a winning script is!
I'm almost positive he knows it's her.
Those little things he says are just like his personality to poke at her. Inquiring deeper than most people about her aunt and uncle and how they died. Ordering milk for her knowing she had been taken in and saw her family murdered at a dairy farm, watching her as he said it.
Jews in hiding weren't hiding because no one would notice them, they probably made the mistake of leaving behind pictures, The state probably had photo ideas. And Landa doesn't seem like the type to forget a face.
And that last thing he couldn't remember that must have just not been important. He ended the movie betraying Hitler. That's not a split second decision. He had probably known at that time the state of things in the war and was planning his betrayal at that time
Why exert himself more than needed?
I seem to be in the minority here, but I actually think Col. Landa did not recognize Shosanna. He did not get a good look at her in the beginning of the film. And if he suspected she would try to get revenge, he would have to think it would be primarily directed at him. Why allow somebody to potentially interfere with his plans to defect? He wouldn't know she planned to burn down the theater only after he left. I think the various pieces of evidence in the restaurant (cream, milk, forgotten question) are just for suspense.
With that said, I'd love to hear a definitive answer from Tarantino.
EDIT: Another answer of "presumably not" is given in the IMDb FAQ:
Of course he knew who she was and would be insulted that you presumed otherwise. Throughout the movie he is 10 steps ahead of everyone. Also, he likes to mess with people and make them squirm. In this case, he wants to make sure everything goes according to (his) plan.
They werent just hiding in a dairy farm, The Dreyfus family were dairy farmers, this adds significance to the cream.
Second, Landers eyes when he looks at her and says there is something else take on a chilling intensity exactly like when he got setius with the father in the opening scene.
I think he was considering in real time whether to expose her, weighed up his plans as mentioned above and decided aginst it.

Queasy Games revitalises the platforming genre with its melodical masterpiece
We like
- The way the soundtrack builds throughout the levels is totally unique and absorbing
- Strong themes and level design throughout campaign ensures platforming gameplay is entertaining

Music has always had the power to enhance your video game experience. A well-crafted soundtrack can lighten and darken the mood at will, raise your heartbeat as you enter a ferocious battle, and tug at your heart strings when a hero falls. In Queasy Games' Sound Shapes music is the game; it's what drives the whole experience. Unlike a rousing orchestral score though, the ambient soundtrack serves to absorb you in i...

Catrow's Heroics Salvage 2-2 Tie with Xavier
Sunday, October 30, 2005Playing a man down for most of the match, D.J. Catrow's (Springfield, Ohio/Catholic Central) two second half goals erased a 2-0 deficit and gave the Crusaders a 2-2 (2ot) tie against Xavier Sunday at Eastgate Field.
Freshman Brett Bermes (Portage, Ind./Portage) picked up a red card in the 41st minute with the score already 1-0 Xavier, thanks to a Matt Kmetz goal. With the score still 1-0 in the 61st minute, Toni Skudrzik beat Sean McGinnis (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) to put the Musketeers up 2-0.
From that point on, however, Catrow took over. The junior wowed the crowd with his ball handling and breakaway speed, and outraced Xavier keeper Liam Curran to a loose ball in the 75th minute, scoring his team-leading fifth goal of the season. Four minutes later, Catrow got on the board again, this time heading home a Jeremy Stacy (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Central) corner to tie the match at two.
Even before Bermes' red card, Valpo was already short-handed. Jon Brighton (Warner Robins, Ga./Houston County) did not play after picking up a red against IUPUI on Friday, and defenseman Tyler Pagano (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) also sat out the match after drawing his fifth yellow card of the season Friday night.
For the match, Xavier (3-10-4) out shot the Crusaders 15-11, firing 13 of their 15 shots with the man advantage. Each team had five shots on goal, and each keeper made three saves. There were seven cards issued in the match, four on Valpo, and the Crusaders were whistled for 21 fouls to Xavier's 16.
The Crusaders (6-8-2) will make their first Mid-Continent Conference Tournament appearance since 2002 on November 11 in Kansas City, Mo., but not before closing out the regular season Sunday, November 6 against Michigan State. The Senior Day match is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. and can be heard live on 95.1 FM, WVUR, or online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

---- — METHUEN — A Methuen police officer accused of assaulting a 25-year-old woman during a bachelorette party brawl at a Salisbury Beach bar last summer will serve a 90-day unpaid suspension from his job.
Shawn Tardif, 38, will also volunteer at a violence prevention program, undergo an alcohol and anger-management assessment, and submit to random alcohol testing for three years, according to the terms of a two-page disciplinary decision.
Methuen police Chief Joseph Solomon said the discipline — a one-year, unpaid suspension in which Tardif will serve just three months — is the result of an "in-depth investigation" by the Methuen Police Department that began after Tardif was arrested Aug. 4.
"It's a pretty harsh punishment," said Solomon. "It shows how seriously we take off-duty behavior."
Tardif was arrested by Salisbury police while off-duty and unarmed after a brawl at the Surfside 5 Bar and Grill. The six-year-veteran of the Methuen Police Department was charged with assault and battery and wanton destruction of property over $250. Tardif admitted to sufficient facts and was sentenced Nov. 20.
Tardif was placed on paid administrative leave after his arrest and later returned, minus his firearm, to restricted desk duty a week later. He is set to begin serving his suspension tomorrow and could return to work Feb. 23.
The nine-month balance of Tardif's suspension will be held in abeyance for three years, meaning he will be required to serve the remainder if he gets into trouble in the future, Solomon said.
Tardif has also agreed to forfeit 10 vacation days, volunteer 40 hours at a violence prevention program within the next six months, undergo an alcohol and anger-management assessment, and attend any counseling that is recommended as a result.
He has also agreed to refrain from drinking alcohol for a minimum of a year and undergo random alcohol testing for three years.
Several of the conditions Tardif agreed to in his disciplinary decision were also spelled out during his sentencing.
Tardif avoided having to plead guilty by admitting to sufficient facts. Judge Peter Doyle continued his case without finding for three years, meaning his charges will be dismissed if he adheres to conditions imposed by the court and stays out of trouble.
In addition to 100 hours of community service, Tardif must stay away from and have no contact with the victim, attend anger management courses and pay $50 to the Victim-Witness Fund. He was also ordered to pay $2,645 in restitution after smashing DJ equipment during the brawl.
Witnesses at the Surfside 5 Bar and Grill described Tardif as being "in a rage" when he assaulted Nicole Morrison, 25, who was attending a bachelorette party. Tardif was at the bar with his wife Stacey, 44, and other friends. The altercation occurred at 11:20 p.m. after tension between the two groups escalated and allegedly after Morrison threw a drink at Stacey Tardif.
Tardif is accused of grabbing Morrison by the back of her neck, forcing her to the floor and then dragging her by her hair. When Salisbury police arrived, Morrison showed police a clump of hair Tardif allegedly ripped from her scalp.
Two security guards jumped in to break up the fight. Tardif punched one in the face, according to police. Additionally, $5,000 worth of DJ equipment belonging to Ryan Oiler, 35, was damaged.
A call to Tardif's attorney was not returned yesterday.
Solomon said Tardif likely would have faced a termination hearing if he was found guilty. By agreeing to the disciplinary decision, the chief said Tardif has waived his rights to all appeals. Solomon said he considers that "a sign of good faith that he wants to move forward."
"This won't drag out in Civil Service," said Solomon. "This is a final agreement by the parties."
