College football: P.J. Fleck named Western Michigan coach
By Rick Armstrong firstname.lastname@example.com December 17, 2012 3:44PM
P.J. Fleck
Updated: January 19, 2013 6:16AM
A source with knowledge of the situation has confirmed Kaneland High School and NIU grad P.J. Fleck will be named the new head football coach at Western Michigan University.
He will replace Bill Cubit, who was fired after the team's regular-season finale in late November.
Multiple sources in Michigan were also confirming the news Monday, broken by the Kalamazoo Gazette that the former Kaneland and Northern Illinois University football standout will be introduced at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.
Fleck, 32, is currently the wide receivers coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under head coach Greg Schiano. He held the same position for Schiano the previous two seasons at Rutgers.
The Western Michigan Broncos are Mid-American Conference West Division rivals of Fleck's alma mater.
A key member of Kaneland's back-to-back state champion football teams in 1998 and '99, Fleck played for Joe Novak at Northern when the Huskie program began the turnaround that has culminated with this season's invitation to play in the Orange Bowl.
Fleck earned Mid-American Conference honors in 2003 on the 10-2 team that started 7-0, beat Alabama and was ranked as high as 12th in the nation.
He signed with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2004 and was with the team for two seasons before beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Ohio State in 2006. He served as the wide receivers coach at NIU from 2007-09 and was also recruiting coordinator for coach Jerry Kill in '09.
Fleck was named offensive coordinator at Northern by coach Dave Doeren in February of 2012 but resigned from the position a day later and eventually rejoined Schiano, who had earlier left Rutgers for the NFL job.

----------->(You may skip the first 2 paragraphs)<---------------------
Hi, not long ago i used Jailbreakme.com to jailbreak a iPod Touch 2nd Generation MC model. Everything was perfect and fine with all the regular jailbreaking stuff.
Afterwards, i had an epic issue where all my apps disappeared (that werent cydia/system apps). I believe this entire thing had to do with me trying to install icy from cydia. Earlier i had an epic malfunction with cydia, where everything within it disappeared. I had fixed that by using iFunbox and deleting all the sources which solved the problem. BUT, during that i used APTBACKUP, which "supposedly" saves your cydia hacks/tweaks. After its stuff was finished, i found my self with all my apps missing that werent from cydia or default apps (i.e. Clock Calendar, Music etc...). I looked at my applicatiom list in iFunbox, AND THEY WERE STILL THERE, but not on the springboard
Then, i tried to "ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS" THEN EVERYTHING WENT BLEH. It showed the progress line and finishes, The device starts up and then continues to show the apple logo, and spiny thiny on it, for around 20-30 mins. then, it restarts the entire device and continues to restart again and its loop continues forever and ever.
DFU mode (10 secs hold both home/power button) just puts it back where it started, into the beginning of the loop.
Also, the device is not detected by my computer at all at any stage of the process.
Please, can somebody help?

84% of the CEO
Kevin Burke
1 person found this helpful
I have been working at Con Edison
Pros – Once your in the company you can learn a lot if you know what you want to focus on
Cons – Like everyone else said it's not what you know it's who you know if you want to advance in this company. Too many politics within departments if your "not the right fit or the right person for the department" you have a hard way to go to get where you want to go professionally. They say equal opportunity that's b.s the testing for advancement have nothing to do with the job your going for in union jobs. Be careful you are only aloud 3 job postings for a calendar year if you fail a test you cannot retake the test for 6months also if you apply for a different job with the same test you automatically do not qualify for the job and you wasted that posting so be very mindful and sure of what you are posting for plus there is no test prep it's a general aptitude test unless you know people within the company that can "help you pass" so if you've been out of school for some time brush up smh.....applying for management is much different there's no limit on the jobs you can apply for so that's good for those that want to be in management but the hiring process is very hard if you don't know anybody to grease you through in all if your patient and know what you want to do with in this company go for it!
Advice to Senior Management – Be more empathetic with your workers you too was once union unless you came in of the streets and have no experience in the company change the culture and be more open to new ideas stop with that if it ain't broke no need to fix it mentality
I have been working at Con Edison
Pros – its a stable job with variety of opportunities to move around within the company. there is a lot of pride within the company. the benefits are great, other than the salary the medical insurance is very good. they also have a discount stock program which i think is a great way to save money and at the same time be concerned about what is going on within the company. this brings up the pride that i have by working here. the people working here are also very friendly and helpful. sometime i wonder what drives people to be so nice to eachother
Cons – there are not many challenging work that are faced by the employees. this is one of the things that i had to get used to, but once i did it was no longer an issue. there's a certain pace at which everything is conducted and if you are on the same level then you will be comfortable working here. even though the work itself isnt very keenly scrutinized other things such as accurate time keeping and such matter are very important. so basically getting to work on time is more important than what i do for the 8 hrs that i spend here.
Advice to Senior Management – retention should be enforced. people move around a lot between positions
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

How were you introduced to table tennis:
My father bought my mother and I a table when I was 14. Shortly thereafter he met Leon Ruderman, a top senior tournament player over lunch and mentioned having a kid who thought she was hot stuff for beating her mother on the table. So set me up one evening and took me to the Hollywood Table Tennis club run by the Guillen family as a joke! Lim Ming Chui was there and he saw some potential and convinced my father to arrange for lessons with my first coach who was a former world doubles champion, Norisaku "Cannonball" Fuji. He is responsible for teaching me how to smash very hard. I guess I had the last laugh at that joke!!
Personal Info:
After sustaining a career ending injury (shattered right arm) in 1992, I didn't touch a paddle for 18 years as it was just too painful at the time. In 2010 prior to the grand opening of SPiN Hollywood (owned by Susan Sarandon)I tried to play again and to my own amazement I was able to play very well. I was offered a weekly hosting position at SPiN and started training at the Gilbert Table Tennis Center to hone my skills again. Since then I have secured several corporate sponsors (in and outside) of table tennis with companies and corporations who now support my comeback tour of events and exhibitions. I am also hired to host special corporate events as there is a movement afoot whereby ping-pong is being used in business as a way of breaking the ice between executives because on the "court" everyone is made equal by! virtue of their competitive spirit and enthusiasm for the game. This is a trend that has been highlighted in the national business press including Business Week which has profiled me in the following link: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-05/pingpong-returns-with-partners-from-sarandon-to-elle-to-hedge-fund-match.html
Did You Know?:
Did you know that in 1986 I set the U.S. Olympic Festival Record in Houston, Texas for the fastest reflexes ever recorded? It was filmed live on ESPN and my record still stands at .14 of a second reaction time. By comparison, in the 2008 Beijing Olympics the fasted reaction time recorded by Michael Phelps was only .64 of a second! I have another claim to fame with my under the leg smash shot that has been clocked at 86 miles per hour! This shot is featured in this promotional video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUaCp6XcUlA

Arizona forward Brandon Ashley will miss the rest of the season as a result of a foot injury suffered in Saturday's 60-58 loss to Cal, ESPN.com reported Sunday.
Ashley is averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. The sophomore suffered the injury three minutes into Saturday's game when he landed awkwardly after missing a shot.
He returned to the bench and was in a walking boot in the second half. A source told ESPN.com that Ashley will not play again this season.
Arizona coach Sean Miller said after the game he thought Ashley had suffered a broken foot, although he was unable to confirm that.
The Wildcats (21-1) are likely to drop from the No. 1 spot in the rankings when the polls are released on Monday.
"We have to get back to the drawing board and make sure we can move forward if Brandon is not with us," Miller said Saturday.
Ashley will be replaced in the starting lineup by freshman Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who averages 8.0 points and 5.4 rebounds.

Once upon a time, a story game was made in the land of OT and it failed.
I weep for the fact that it took 14 posts in this nightmare thread for someone to point out the fail. It sure shows just how bad the state of the union is here in OT.
That being said, what's your favorite war movie?
Ain't that an other fail?
Yes and no. Technically, I did not attempt to make a War Movie thread, which would be auto-fail. I attempted a thread-hijack, which is auto-win, but I used the War Movie topic instead of the standard "What's for lunch?".
I walk on the edge...think outside the box...

EXCITING NEW OPPORTUNITY: Joint Cyber Unit (Reserve)
In May 2013 the Joint Forces Cyber Group stood up within the Joint Forces Command structure to deliver Defence's cyber capability; its Reserve component is the Joint Cyber Unit (Reserve) (JCU(R)) which was announced by the Secretary of State for Defence on 29 Sep 13. The JCU(R) will provide specialist reservist support to the Joint Cyber Unit (Corsham), the Joint Cyber Unit (Cheltenham), and Information Assurance (IA) units across Defence.

We are hearing from the man who was beat up and bitten over his car. It's a story FOX23 has been following since it broke Tuesday. A.J Zinn was attacked outside the target store near 17th Street and Yale Avenue. Zinn has a black eye, a bite mark on his hand and a few cracked ribs but the thing that's bothering him the most, he says, is that he lost the fight over the car. "I'm doing fairly well, yeah…considering," said Zinn. Considering he was violently ripped out of his car. "He says very strongly 'get out of my car man, you're stealing my car.' I say 'this ain't your car,'" said Zinn. "I put his hand under his shirt, and he says 'you want me to shoot you.'" But Zinn wasn't going to give up his Cadillac that easily. "I'm not a brave person or anything like that. It's just it was wrong," said Zinn. Brandon Brock says that's just grandpa. "That's really how he is, and it's what he taught all of us to do was to fight for what's ours. And to always try to help people when they need it, but never to let them take advantage," said Brock. And while he's bruised and sore, Zinn isn't angry or bitter. In fact he feels sorry the guy's life has sunk so low. "He was crazy," said Zinn. "He's got a messed-up life and there's too much of it." Zinn and his grandson told us they think the carjacker just thought Zinn would be an easy target. He just hopes he put up enough of a fight that the guy won't try carjacking anyone again.

LINCOLN — Nebraska assistant Paul Klempa is confident the Husker bowling team will do fine this weekend without head coach Bill Straub.
Straub, who has run the Husker program since it was elevated to varsity status in 1996, has been hospitalized since late last week. Sixth-ranked NU will be competing in the Mid-Winter Invitational in Jonesboro, Ark., starting Friday.
"It will be different obviously missing your head coach during competition, but the plan is to continue with business as usual as best we can." Klempa said, "Hopefully, they will be even more motivated to do well and win one for coach Straub. They know coach is recovering, and they have their jobs to do and are ready to go do them."
Host Arkansas State is the top-ranked team in the country, according to National Tenpin Coaches Association. The 13-team field features seven of the top 10 teams in the country.
All-American Liz Kuhlkin said the team's goals remain on track despite Straub's absence.
"I think we are motivated more than ever, but at the same time we still have the same common goal," Kuhlkin said. "Our goal as a team has always been to make it to Cleveland for the NCAA championship."

In advance of this evening's WordPress Knoxville meetup on Writing a WordPress Plugin, I'm posting my favorite method for handling AJAX requests in WordPress plugins and themes. The following gist addresses where you send your AJAX requests when you're making an AJAX call inside a WordPress plugin or theme.
Here's an example request you might make in your JavaScript:
The following code added to your theme or plugin allows WordPress to handle the above request:
NOTE: In order for the above code to work, you'll need to flush your WordPress rewrite rules. Short of adding some code to your theme/plugin to do this, the quickest way to flush your rewrite rules is to visit
Settings > Permalinks. Whenever that page loads,
flush_rewrite_rules() is called.
UPDATE 11/26/2013 (06:09): At last night's WordPress Meetup, Chris Lamm showed me the preferred way to make an AJAX request in WordPress. Here's some further details on how to make use of the feature Chris outlines in his afore-linked-to example.

In a continued weak market, Volvo Buses reported an operating income of SEK 36 M for the first quarter 2014 (-88). Deliveries amounted to 1,775 buses during the first quarter 2014, which is a decrease of 3% compared to the same period last year.
Volvo Buses has received an order for 12 hybrid buses from the city of Karlskrona in south-east Sweden. The buyer is Sweden's largest privately owned bus operator, Bergkvarabuss.
As of May last year, Volvo Buses' electric hybrid bus has been undergoing field tests on route 60 in Gothenburg. That project has now been evaluated and the results show that the new buses are popular with passengers and drivers and also with residents along the route.
Volvo Buses in Latin America will deliver 132 buses to the BRT-system (Bus Rapid Transit) of Belo Horizonte. The sale, which is the first to this BRT-system, consists of 89 articulated buses and 43 conventional vehicles. The order confirms Volvo Buses' leading position within the BRT segment.
Uddevalla Omnibus, on the west coast of Sweden, has purchased five hybrid buses and five ambulance buses from Volvo Buses. All of them will operate on bio-diesel. The vehicles are scheduled to be put in operation in June 2014.
In continued weak markets Volvo Buses reported an operating income of SEK 50 M for the fourth quarter 2013. Net sales in the fourth quarter increased by 2% to SEK 5,512 M (5,385). Order intake in the fourth quarter totaled 2,406, which was a decrease of 17% compared to the same period last year. During the quarter, an order for 414 city buses to New York City was signed.
Volvo Bus Latin America has sold 190 buses to the Metropolitan Integrated Transport System of San Salvador (SITRAMSS), capital of El Salvador. The order comprises of 60 articulated buses and 130 standard buses. The vehicles will operate in the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system, which is being built in the city. Nearly all vehicles will be equipped with the Volvo Bus Fleet Management service, which helps operators' increase fuel efficiency.
Volvo Bus Australia has recently been awarded a three-year arrangement to supply at least 180 chassis to Brisbane City Council, including the trial of a new hybrid diesel-electric model. The council currently has a contract with Volgren, which will build the bus body on the chassis supplied by Volvo.
Volvo Group's North American subsidiary, Nova Bus, and the Société de transport de Montréal, STM, have entered into an agreement on an electrification project for the public transit system of Montréal, Canada. Nova Bus and STM signed a Memorandum of Understanding today in the presence of the Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, Olof Persson, President and CEO of the Volvo Group and Michel Labrecque, Chairman of the STM board of directors.
Fuel consumption is reduced by over 80% and the total energy consumption by over 60%. The results of the field tests being conducted in Gothenburg show that Volvo Buses' plug-in hybrid more than meets expectations.

How Does the CNA Work?
How Can SRI's Community Needs Assessment Benefit You?
By determining the areas of greatest need, as well as the overall effectiveness of individual programs in your community, our Community Needs Assessment Study provides vital information and statistics that can help your organization evaluate existing programs and formulate new, comprehensive, and well-informed policies. The all-inclusive analysis in our Final Community Needs Assessment Report contains suggestions and recommendations for economizing, developing, and improving services offered to the community, and it enables service providers to identify and respond to the areas of greatest need for low-income residents. By participating in our Community Needs Assessment, local service providers will understand how and where to reallocate their resources more effectively and efficiently to better assist their entire populations.
The 3-Survey Component
SRI's approach to the Community Needs Assessment is unique because it gathers data from 3 distinct surveys in order to obtain an all-encompassing representative sample of the target population. Each of the three surveys is outlined below:

Eddie Woodin '69 knew it was time to quit his job as vice president of national sales for a Pittsburgh-based store fixtures company when, during a business trip, he woke up in a hotel room in a city he couldn't name. He racked his brain, guessing incorrectly a few times before realizing where he was. "I literally had the wrong city twice," Woodin said.
Eddin Woodin '69, at center, with fellow volunteers in Scarborough, Maine.
Eddin Woodin '69, at center, with fellow volunteers in Scarborough, Maine.
So Woodin, who grew up in a blue-collar family in Concord, Mass., resigned from the high-stress job and moved back to New England. In 1993 he launched his own company, following his own instincts. He felt it was something he needed to do or, more specifically, something God had been telling him to do, Woodin said. "God was telling me, 'Let's go!' So I did," he said.
The company, Portland, Maine-based Woodin & Company Store Fixtures, may not be a household name, but if you've been in a college bookstore or Barnes & Noble you've probably seen the company's work. Six employees in Woodin's office design displays and bookshelves that are then built by a network of more than 200 manufacturers.
In retrospect, launching his own venture was the right move, but Woodin says that wasn't so apparent in the beginning. He started the company with cash and five credit cards. His first account was a company in Chile. Later a contact at Barnes & Noble opened a door for the new company, though Woodin still had doubters. "But I was believing and God was believing," he said.
That first year Woodin posted $1 million in sales.
The relationship with Barnes & Noble has since exploded, pushing Woodin & Co.'s sales to $7.5 million last year and an anticipated $9 million this year. The company currently supplies fixtures to 600 college bookstores across the country, with 100 more in line for this year, he says.
With a successful company, Woodin, who lives in Scarborough, Maine, could sit back, spend his hard-earned money, and enjoy life. But, while he does live comfortably, Woodin doesn't sit on his profits. He has helped build churches in Rwanda and the Congo. He donates to Maine Audubon and the Boy Scouts of America. He funded a Christian rock concert in Biddeford. Last year, he gave $7,000 to help a family flee East Africa for the United States. The evidence of his philanthropy is on a photograph-covered wall at the entrance to his South Portland office. "This is my victory wall," he said on a recent afternoon, beaming as he pointed to one photo and then another. "These are a lot of those stories."
Over the past 15 years, Woodin estimates he's donated more than $1 million to charity. In 2005 he gave away the entire net profit of his company, he says, sitting on a couch in the break room of his office. It wasn't exactly intentional, Woodin said with a shrug and a laugh, noting that his philanthropy is born from his belief in God. "Faith without deeds is no faith," he said, paraphrasing the Bible's Book of James. "To this day, that's my mantra."
Woodin said he was "born again" in 1988 and describes himself as a Christian charismatic. But his legacy of generosity has roots to his time at Colby, where he was a star baseball and football player. When he graduated he set a plan for himself. Each month he would volunteer his time at an organization, write five charitable checks, and call on five friends in need. He started writing $10 checks. Now he writes $10,000 checks. "I built a plan," he said, "and that was the foundation. … It started small, but the concept grew to where it is today."
He began life with nothing, Woodin said, so giving away his money doesn't faze him. "I started at zero," he said. "What if I go back to zero? What have I lost? Nothing."

Alex Williams was the object of the Nevada Wolf Pack's attention this weekend at Peccole Park.
"Each week we pick out the best hitter on the team we're going to play and we make sure that guy doesn't beat us," Wolf Pack relief pitcher Matt Gardner said.
The hitter with the bull's-eye on his bat with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs is definitely the 6-foot-6, 265-pound left-handed hitting Williams.
"He's their go-to guy," Wolf Pack coach Gary Powers said. "And we didn't let him hurt us."
Williams came to Peccole Park this weekend with 43 hits, 33 RBI and a Western …

Atlas of New Librarianship – The unbook unreview
14/06/2011 § 15 Comments
*note – I've deliberately decided to use the word 'text' herein because I truly believe this project must be absorbed and interacted with across its dual formats, printed book and web/digital presence. Hows that for meta? Cultural Studies, represent!! Lacon, Barthes, dying authors, and all that jazz.
Let me be clear from the start – I have not (yet) read this text. It came across my radar back in early March, and I have been following developments surrounding the book, including the iPad app and companion website which are awesome, and thought it would be a useful and relevant read for library school students and librarians, thus my decision to write it up here now.
Doing research for this post, and thanks to a hot tip from Nicole, I discovered that Emma Montgomery, an LIS student at Syracuse, will be hosting a Twitter reading group to get through the Atlas in 6 weeks. I plan to join this reading group, and I hope those of you interested will also. It starts June 20th, and details can be found here. So, on to my unreview. « Read the rest of this entry »

Spoink is slightly outclassed by Abra as a sweeping Psychic-type, as it has lesser Special Attack and Speed stats, arguably the most important stats for such a role. However, Spoink does have a lot more bulk compared to Abra, though it still isn't much, as well as access to a good ability in Thick Fat, which allows it to switch in much easier than Abra. To sum it up, Spoink is slightly outclassed by Abra, but has better defenses to make up for its lower Special Attack and Speed stats.
Spoink is a great user of dual screens, and it is not outclassed by Abra thanks to its better bulk, which often allows it to set up dual screens more than once, something which Abra finds hard to do. While Abra has access to Encore, Spoink can cripple the opposing Pokemon with Thunder Wave. Reflect and Light Screen are self-explanatory, reducing any damage dealt onto Spoink and its teammates by half, allowing its teammates to easily set up without harm. Psychic is Spoink's only attack, gains STAB, and is its best option to hurt opposing Pokemon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a Choice Scarf, Spoink hits 24 Speed, which outspeeds all non-Choice Scarf users, as well as some slower Pokemon who hold Choice Scarf. If Spoink holds Choice Specs, it boosts Spoink's Special Attack stat to 24, hitting much harder with all its attacks. Psychic is Spoink's main attack, gaining STAB, and hitting opponents who don't resist it quite hard. Shadow Ball hits opposing Psychic-types who resist Spoink's main attack. The next slot is completely up to preference. If Aron is troublesome to the team, Hidden Power Fighting should be used, while Hidden Power Fire should be used if Bronzor is causing problems. The last moveslot should be Trick, which allows Spoink to cripple switch-ins such as Munchlax, who would otherwise switch in with ease, and dispose of Spoink with Pursuit.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Calm Mind Spoink is a force to be reckoned with once it has set up. After just one Calm Mind boost, Spoink hits 24 Special Attack and 22 Special Defense, meaning it can hit quite hard, while also being able to withstand many special attacks with its above average Special Defense stat. Psychic is Spoink's main attack, gaining STAB, and hitting most opponents quite hard, especially after several Calm Mind boosts. The next slot is used to hit Steel-type Pokemon, who would otherwise wall this set, super effectively. Hidden Power Fighting has great neutral coverage with Psychic, hitting all Pokemon for at least neutral damage bar opposing Psychic-types, and OHKOes Aron, who could otherwise set up a Rock Polish before taking Spoink out with Head Smash. Hidden Power Fire is also an option to hit Steel-types, and hits Bronzor, who does not have much to fear from any of Spoink's other attacks, particularly hard. Finally, Shadow Ball allows Spoink to hit opposing Psychic-type Pokemon for super effective damage. Substitute is also an option instead of Shadow Ball, allowing Spoink to scout for opposing Pokemon, especially Pokemon faster than Spoink, who would otherwise be able to OHKO Spoink before it can switch out or attack.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Spoink has many other options in its movepool, but most are not viable for good reasons. Mirror Coat allows Spoink to reflect any special attacks aimed at it, and thanks to Spoink's above average Special Defense, it can take a few hits and reflect them. However, without reliable recovery, Mirror Coat will usually end up being a one-time-use only move. Confuse Ray can be used to have a chance of preventing the opposing Pokemon from attacking, but Spoink's frail physical bulk is a problem. Spoink can make use of Charge Beam to boost its Special Attack, while also damaging the opposing Pokemon in the process. Heal Bell can be used to clear its entire team of status, but again, its poor Defense stat means it will not be able to constantly switch in and use it. Magic Coat and Taunt can be used to reflect and block any status moves, respectively, but in most cases, the opponent will be attacking Spoink right off the bat. Toxic can be used, as Spoink tends to lure in Munchlax and other special walls, and cripple them. However, Trick is a more effective way of crippling them. Spoink can make use of an anti-lead set consisting of Psychic, Trick, Magic Coat, and Taunt, along with a Choice Scarf, allowing Spoink to cripple bulky leads. Finally, Spoink can set up Trick Room, hitting 9 Speed with 0 Speed IVs and a Quiet nature. Unfortunately, Spoink is frail, and won't be able to use Trick Room many times before it gets knocked out.
Checks and Counters
Stunky is the biggest enemy to Spoink, being immune to Psychic, resisting Shadow Ball, and not being weak to any of Spoink's other attacks (bar Hidden Power Ground). In return, Stunky has a powerful Sucker Punch to knock out Spoink if it chooses to attack, while running the risk of getting KOed by Pursuit if it switches out. Houndour plays similar to Stunky, but has the risk of getting severely injured by Hidden Power Fighting. However, if Spoink runs Hidden Power Fire, Houndour can easily set up a Substitute before sending Spoink on its way. Munchlax can defeat the Calm Mind variant, switching in on a Calm Mind, and hitting it hard with STAB Return, while not getting 2HKOed by even Hidden Power Fighting when accounting for Oran Berry. Pokemon with U-turn can switch in on a move they resist, and either hurt Spoink badly, or gain momentum for your team. Common users of U-turn include Meowth and Choice Scarf Mankey.

The Dubai region
From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day, the tourist can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls.
The emirate is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era. But these contrasts give Dubai its unique flavour and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia.
Since earliest times, Dubai has been a meeting place, bringing together the Bedouin of the desert interior with the pearl-diver, the merchant of the city with the sea-going fisherman.
Dubai is fast becoming one of the world 19s favourite and most exclusive tourist destinations and offers the very best in sports, entertainment, adventure and shopping. From enjoying a lazy day at one of the many 5 star beach clubs, where you will be waited on hand and foot to a round of golf at one of the 7 world-class golf courses, to enjoying the thrill of Dune Bashing in the desert you will find it all here.
If you visit Dubai during the Annual Shopping Festival you will not only be able to soak up a truly magnificent atmosphere which engulfs the entire city for a whole month, but you may even pick up bargain electrical goods, clothes and even win yourself a luxury car or apartment in the fantastic draws available at this time. Dubai certainly has that carnival feel during the Dubai Shopping Festival.
Dubai can guarantee you an all year round tan! The skies are blue and the temperatures range form 24C in January to as high as 45C in July. Rainfall is very irregular so no matter what time of year you plan to visit you can be sure the weather will not put a damper on your holiday.
Amongst all the glitz and glamour Dubai still has a traditional side. A visit to Dubai museum is a must for those interested in the growth of this captivating city. There are also many other places of interest providing a glimpse at life in Dubai before the discovery of oil.
The Palm Jumeirah
Dubai is a shopper 19s paradise! There are numerous ultra modern shopping malls where you are sure to grab a bargain. Having low import duties and no taxation, you will find most major labels less expensive than their country of origin.
If it 19s the more traditional type of shopping you are looking for and are itching to use your bargaining skills then a trip to the Souk is a must. Whatever you are looking for from spices to gold you will find at the entertaining, atmospheric location. The city draws large numbers of 18 shopping tourists 19 from countries within the region and from as far afield as Eastern Europe, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.
As an open port with low import duties, Dubai 19s retail prices are reasonable and the variety of products available is virtually unrivalled. Free of tax, many top brand-name products are cheaper in Dubai than in the countries of their origin. Whatever the visitor 19s tastes 14 be it couture from Paris or Milan, hi-tech electronics from Japan, or a piece of silver Bedouin jewellery 14 he or she will find it at the right price in Dubai.
In addition to the souk districts and shopping malls listed below, there are many top-class department stores and boutiques throughout the city.
Shopping Hours Normal Dubai hours are from 9.00am 131.00pm and 4.00 139.00pm or later. Some boutiques in the residential areas do not open until 9.30 or 10.00am. Shopping malls tend to open from 10.00am 1310.00pm.
Most supermarkets stay open until late at night seven days a week, while some remain open 24 hours. Shops close for prayers on Fridays from 11.30am 131.30pm. Shopping malls and most shops are open on Friday evenings until late.
Bargaining is part of the fun of shopping in Dubai. While boutiques, some electronics shops, department stores and supermarkets may operate on a fixed-price basis, most other outlets consider friendly negotiation as a way of life.
There 19s lots to do in Dubai : Swimming or relaxing by the poolside or by Dubai 19s miles of clean uncrowded sandy eaches. Superb watersports-sailing, fishing, windsurfing, water skiing, parascending, scuba diving and snorkeling.

While she came up short in her attempt of clearing 6 feet, 2 and a half inches, Williams' jump of 6-01.50 bested her nearest opponent by half a foot and set the stage for a remarkable day.
Williams and teammate Adriana Newell left fans at Damonte Ranch with their jaws dropped. Both were triple winners at the regional track championships and helped the Raiders secure a third-place finish in the girls standings, one point behind Reno's 100 for second. McQueen won the girls event, while Reno and McQueen went 1-2 in the boys competition with Reed also placing third.
Williams and Newell could have been four-time winners Saturday had a dropped exchange during the final event of the meet, the 4x400m girls relay, cost the Raiders a chance to improve on their region record. Still, they finished second thanks to a remarkable anchor leg by Newell.
Reed had fallen all the way back to fourth by the final 400 meters of the race. The top three teams qualify for state. When Newell took the last handoff, McQueen had built close to a 50-meter lead. By the time the race was done, Newell cut about 40 meters off that lead and Reed finished second, less than two seconds behind the Lancers.
"She's very impressive. Every time you put her on the track, she gives everything she has," Reed track and field coach Dale Moss said.
Newell cruised to victories in the three sprints, breaking the region record in the 400 meters held by her former nemesis, Brianna Tate of McQueen. Tate is now competing at Arizona State. Newell won the 400m with a time of 55.53 seconds. She took the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.12 seconds, and crossed the finish line in the 200 meters in first after running a 24.51-second race.
Williams set a region record in the 100m hurdles with her time of 14.16 seconds. The record had stood for 18 years. Williams missed out on setting a region record in the 300-meter hurdles by .03 of a second. She won the event in 42.64 seconds, a stadium record.
"She actually PR'd by two seconds in the 300 hurdles," Moss said. "She didn't PR in the 100 hurdles, but she did set the region record."
Reed had one other relay qualify for state. Freshman twins Emily and Annie Braun teamed up with juniors Tiare Fonoimoana and Cherish Navarroza and ran the 4x100m relay in 50.70 seconds, taking third.
Senior Nyasha LeSure jumped 5-06.00 in the high jump and was second behind Williams.
The Reed boys were in a distant third with 68 points, but will have several representatives at the state meet hosted by Damonte Ranch next weekend.
Senior Josh Gingras failed to defend his regional title in the 100 meters, taking second (10.80 seconds), but he was first in the 200 meters (21.64 seconds).
He was also part of two relays that are state bound.
Gingras, John Braun, Spencer Stockton and Sean Lancaster won the 4x200m relay with a region record time of 1:27.99. In the 4x100m relay, Williams Lyons and Martin Hargrove joined Gingras and Stockton as the foursome placed second (42.75 seconds).
Sam Nichols had a personal best in the discus, throwing 147-09 to take second.
"I think it's been a good day today. Every team has their good things and their bad things happen," Moss said. "We seemed to have a lot more good than bad things happen. We put ourselves in a situation to do that."
Spanish Springs only qualified one athlete for state and it was on the boys side. Senior Vance Lively took third in both the high jump (6 feet) and long jump (20-11.50).
The Cougars were ninth in the boys team standings with 35 points, while their 10 points on the girls side landed them in 10th place.
Still, coach Winston Mora was pleased with how his young athletes competed and is looking forward to next year.
"It's a good way to end the season. We have some good juniors coming back or sophomores that will be juniors," Mora said. "I'm excited for next year. I'm looking forward to it."
•In the 3A, there won't be much Maroon and Gold from Sparks High at the state meet.
Senior Emma Clune qualified in the girls 200 and 400 meters, while the boys 4x100m and 4x200m relays grabbed the last qualifying spots from the North.

Motor vehicle theft
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (October 2013)
Motor vehicle theft (sometimes referred to as grand theft auto by the media and police departments in the US) is the criminal act of stealing or attempting to steal a car. Nationwide in the US in 2005, there were an estimated 1.2 million motor vehicle thefts, or approximately 416.7 motor vehicles stolen for every 100,000 inhabitants.[1] Property losses due to motor vehicle theft in 2005 were estimated at $7.6 billion.[2] Since then the number of motor thefts nationally has declined. The most recent statistics, for 2009, show an estimated 794,616 thefts of motor vehicles nationwide, representing property losses of nearly $5.2 billion.[3]
Some methods used by criminals to steal motor vehicles include:
- Theft of an unattended vehicle without key(s): The removal of a parked vehicle either by breaking and entry, followed by hotwiring or other tampering methods to start the vehicle, or else towing.
- Theft with access to keys: Known in some places as "Taken Without Owner's Consent (TWOC)". The unauthorized use of a vehicle in which the owner has allowed the driver to have possession of or easy access to the keys. Often, this is the adolescent or grown child or employee of the vehicle's owner who, at other times, may be authorized to use the vehicle. This may be treated differently, depending on the jurisdiction's laws, and the owner may choose not to press charges.
- Opportunistic theft: The removal of a vehicle that the owner or operator has left unattended with the keys visibly present, sometimes idling. Alternatively, some cars offered for sale are stolen during a 'test drive'.
- Carjacking: Refers to the taking of a vehicle by force or threat of force from its owner or operator. In most places, this is the most serious form of theft, since assault also occurs. In some carjackings, the operators and passengers are forced from the vehicle while the thief drives it away him/herself, while in other incidents, the operator and/or passenger(s) are forced to remain in the vehicle as hostages. Some less common carjackings result in the operator being forced to drive the assailant in accordance with the assailant's demands.[4]
- Fraudulent theft: Illegal acquisition of a vehicle from a seller through fraudulent transfer of funds that the seller will ultimately not receive (such as by identity theft or the use of a counterfeit cashier's check). Many vehicles stolen in this manner are resold quickly thereafter.
Commonly used tools[edit]
- Slide hammer puller to break into the door locks and the cylinder lock.
- Multimeters or a test light to find a power source
- Spare wires and/or a screwdriver to connect the power source to the ignition and starter wires
- A generic rod and hook toolkit to slip between the car window and car frame and to open the lock behind the window. A common one is called the "Slim Jim".
- Many keyless ignition/lock cars have weak[5][6] or no[citation needed] cryptographic protection of the unlock signal. Proof-of-concept "thefts" of top-of-the-line luxury cars have been demonstrated by academic researchers using commercially available tools such as RFID microreaders, but is unknown whether the attack has been used for actual theft.
- A firearm or other weapon such as a baseball bat, or a utility knife or a box cutter to break open a window or threaten a passenger if inside the car[original research?]
Vehicles most frequently stolen[edit]
The makes and models of vehicles most frequently stolen vary by several factors, including region and ease of theft. In particular, the security systems in older vehicles may not be up to the same standard as current vehicles, and thieves also have longer to learn their weaknesses.[7] Scrap metal and spare part prices may also influence thieves to prefer older vehicles.[8]
In recent years in the United States, some models often on lists of most frequently stolen vehicles include Toyota Camry (best-selling car in USA), Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Acura Integra as they are easiest to resell at higher margins.[citation needed]
In Thailand, the most frequently stolen vehicles are Toyota and Nissan cars, Isuzu pickup trucks, Honda cars, and Honda motorcycles (2007 data).[9]
In Malaysia, Selangor had the highest number of motor vehicle thefts, ahead of Kuala Lumpur and Johor. Since 2005, Proton models are the most frequently stolen vehicles in the country, with Proton Wira being the highest, followed by the Proton Waja and the Proton Perdana.[10]
There are various methods of prevention to reduce the likelihood of a vehicle getting stolen. These include physical barriers, which make the effort of stealing the vehicle more difficult. Some of these include:
- Devices used to lock a part of the vehicle necessary in its operation, such as the wheel, steering wheel or brake pedal. A popular steering wheel lock is The Club.
- Immobilisers, allowing the vehicle to start only if a key containing the correct chip is present in the ignition. These work by locking the steering wheel and disabling the ignition.
- Chances of theft can also be reduced with various deterrents, which give the impression to the thief that s/he is more likely to get caught if the vehicle is stolen. These include:
- Car alarm systems that are triggered if a breaking and entry into the vehicle occurs
- Microdot identification tags which allow individual parts of a vehicle to be identified
- Killswitch circuits are designed to frustrate or slow down the efforts of a determined car thief. Killswitches are often located between crucial parts of the starting system, between the battery source and the coil, or the fuel pump. A car cannot start without first flipping these killswitches to closed position. Savvy car owners hide these killswitches in obscured areas, under the dashboard, beneath the seat, behind a chair, etc.
- Signage on windows warning of the presence of other deterrents, sometimes in absence of the actual deterrents.
- VIN etching
Recovery of stolen vehicles[edit]
Recovery rates for stolen vehicles vary, depending on the effort a jurisdiction's police department puts into recovery, and devices a vehicle has installed to assist in the process.
Police departments use various methods of recovering stolen vehicles, such as random checks (ANPR) of vehicles that come in front of a patrol unit, checks of all vehicles parked along a street or within a parking lot using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) or keeping a watchlist of all the vehicles reported stolen by their owners. Police departments also receive tips on the location of stolen vehicles through StolenCar.com[11] or TWOC.co.uk[12] in the United Kingdom.
In the UK, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) provides information on the registration of vehicles to certain companies for consumer protection and anti-fraud purposes. The information may be added to by companies with details from the police, finance and insurance companies. Such companies include CarFax[13] in the US, AutoCheck[14] and CarCheck[15] in the United Kingdom, and Cartell in Ireland, which then provide online car check services for the public and motor trade.[16]
Vehicle tracking systems, such as LoJack, Automatic vehicle location, or Onstar may enable the location of the vehicle to be tracked by local law enforcement or a private company. Other security devices such as DotGuard microdots allow individual parts of a vehicle to also be identified and potentially returned.

Ralph Gardner served in Navy in World War II
By Ashley Rader
As a member of the Navy's Amphibious Force in World War II, Ralph Gardner helped carry Marines to battle in the Pacific Theatre.
Gardner, who served as a motor machinist mate 1st class, was drafted in Feb. 23, 1943, when he was 20. He said he selected volunteer service and asked to be placed in the Air Force, but was sent to the Navy instead.
"They needed men for the Amphibious Force, so that is where I went," he said.
Gardner completed basic training in Bainbridge, Md., then finished diesel engine training in Richmond, Va. He said the recruits had to show some knowledge of diesel engines to be selected for that area of duty.
He said he had some experience with engines growing up on a farm in Bruno, Va.
His father operated a grist mill and used engine-powered tools in his work. His grandfather also used a number of engine-powered tools when working on his 150-acre farm, where Gardner helped out.
During his 38 months in the Navy, Gardner was stationed on two landing ship-tanks in the Pacific Ocean. The LST could carry 17 tanks and up to 400,000 pounds of 40mm and 20mm ammunition. The Amphibious Force would drive the LST onto the beach and to drop off the Marines and the tanks so they could secure the island.
"The Marines had the hard job," Gardner said. "We carried Marines into the beach so they could land. Then we would wait until they secured the island."
During his time in the Pacific, Gardner was stationed first in the Marianas Islands at Saipan and Tinian, then at Peleliu.
On the LST, Gardner helped maintain the engines and pumped fuel to the kitchen. He said the kitchen staff cooked using diesel fuel. He said they had to pump enough fuel to the kitchen to fill a 50-gallon tank without overflowing the fuel.


text: States File Brief in Favor of R-CALF Friend of the court brief supports R-CALF's petition for a rehearing in its litigation against USDA. Published on: Sep 23, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The attorneys general of six states – Connecticut, West Virginia, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana – have jointly filed an amici curiae, or friend-of-the-court brief, in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to show support for R-CALF USA's petition for a rehearing in its litigation against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to keep the Canadian border closed to live cattle and beef products due to Canada's problem with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). R-CALF USA filed a lawsuit against USDA on Jan. 10, 2005. On March 2, the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana granted R-CALF USA's request for a preliminary injunction that halted implementation of USDA's Final Rule on BSE minimal-risk regions, scheduled to reopen the Canadian border on March 7. March 17, the USDA appealed the preliminary injunction, and on July 14, a three-judge panel for the 9th Circuit issued an order that reversed the preliminary injunction, which reopened the Canadian border. Canadian cattle began arrival into the U.S. on July 18. The brief urges the 9th Circuit to grant the petition for a rehearing before a full panel of judges in the appellate court, to vacate the order that reopened the Canadian border, and to reinstate the preliminary injunction.
