Hello, my name is Brandon Lee Hays. Mommy and Daddy and Grandma took me to visit my cousin Andrea, who was dying to meet me. I came from a very snug, cosy, warm, dark place into this bright, noisy world on January 12, 2008, so I complain a lot because it's taking some getting used to. Everybody fusses over me and picks me up and carries me around to see new people and new things. People like to hug me and kiss me and point those flashing lights in my face. One thing I like about my new surroundings is food. My mommy feeds me whenever I cry so I think I can get used to being in this place. I can't wait til I get teeth!

Stardust Arts and Carlsbad Drum Circle Rock the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito
The beat went on, Friday, April 27th, as the Carlsbad Drum Circle presented by Christy Johnson, rocked the building with drum rhythms, instruments, and the air filled with the joy of laughter at Exhibition 3.
Friday was unlike any regular day for the young members attending the facility. Anticipation had been building toward the event for weeks, and to the surprise of the all, the creativity and performing arts that flowed through the building was a creative hit.
As the members and parents enjoyed the artwork by the students, the music drummed it' way home to a successful message for all. "Art, at its best, is creative and imaginative, and it is a gift to be shared with others. Stardust provides youth with the experience of creating visual art. The children of the Boys and Girls Clubs participated in a variety of projects, both in-house and citywide. The results were amazing. It is the hope of Stardust that we have touched the very essence of these young people's hearts. We hope they have embraced the belief that 'anything is possible, if you simply try' so they may move forward in life with confidence and an eagerness to explore", states Cheryl Ehlers, Art Director for the Stardust Arts.
In cooperation with the Director of the Griset Branch, Chris Rosillo and all the volunteers, the exhibition was an awakening for many of those that had never attended and art exhibition nor have the insight into their own children's talents.
Parents, members and friends attended alongside the Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation representatives, Dr. Kenneth M. Golden, manager of the Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation, and Executive Director, Victor Nelson Foundation. the KAPF really had feathers in their caps to have three of their own grant winning artists representing together on behalf of the artists Outreach Grant program, offered yearly to artists over 55 years of age. In addition, a special sponsorship was awarded to The Stardust Arts by the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation Community Grant.

The Stardust Arts is a non-profit organization that is recognized by the California State Assembly and the San Diego county Board of Supervisors. For more information contact Cheryl Ehlers at 760-519-1551 or email@example.com. View the student art at www.thestardustarts.com.

Does anyone know or has anyone used this with WooCommerce?
Does anyone know or has anyone used this with WooCommerce?
I have a bunch of external/affiliate products on my site at lightwaverfcommunity.org.uk. As far as I can see, these links are not tagged with the required onclick JS meaning that I cannot (at the moment) create events etc to track these.
I'd like to if it is possible.
Is this something that could be supported? Could guidance be given on what I need to do to make this work?
I would like to know the same thing. Does this integrate with WooCommerce. Also when will it be updated to support WP 3.5.
I'd love to see the E-Commerce integration updated to support Woocommerce if possible.

AbstractThe development of guided munitions offers interesting challenges in system, component, and materials design. Indeed, system requirements drive component requirements which, in turn, drive material requirements. A prime example of this linkage may be seen in the component of focus for this proposed effort; a GPS antenna. The primary functionality of these components, EM transparency for tracking and guidance communications, is coupled with severe environmental and thermo-structural loading conditions. As a result, holistic material design is seen as an absolute necessity. In brief, this program proposes to advance antenna window materials technology for applicability to a new class of rapid launch munitions. The Phase I program will investigate the viability of select fibrous ceramic composites in meeting the defined requirements. To mitigate risk, an established antenna window material system is proposed as a baseline. Material property and performance enhancement schemes focus on fiber architecture, matrix composition, and densification approach. The material systems will utilize a tailored three-directional fiber architecture to help meet directional property requirements. The candidate material systems will be manufactured in plate form, with a thickness representative of the antenna window, and test samples extracted. Testing will include mechanical, thermal, and dielectric property evaluation, and inertial load performance.

What is the difference between Service, Async Task & Thread. If i am not wrong all of them are used to do some stuff in background. So, how to decide which to use and when?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Probably you already read the documentation description about them, I won't repeat them, instead I will try to give answer with my own words, hope they will help you.
I am using Services, AsyncTasks frequently. Thread less, or not at all, as I can do almost everything with AsyncTask.
Few more information I wish someone had told me a few days ago:
My use case is like this: I have one thread in global space that is connected to a server and an Activity that shows the results. When user presses the home button, the Activity goes to background and a new Service is started. This service then reads results from the thread and displays information in the notification area when needed. I don't worry about the OS destroying my Activity because I know that as long as the Service is running it won'd destroy the thread.
A thread is a concurrent unit of execution. It has its own call stack. There are two methods to implement threads in applications.
One is providing a new class that extends Thread and overriding its run() method. The other is providing a new Thread instance with a Runnable object during its creation. A thread can be executed by calling its "start" method. You can set the "Priority" of a thread by calling its "setPriority(int)" method.
A thread can be used if you have no affect in the UI part. For example, you are calling some web service or download some data, and after download, you are displaying it to your screen. Then you need to use a Handler with a Thread and this will make your application complicated to handle all the responses from Threads.
A Handler allows you to send and process Message and Runnable objects associated with a thread's MessageQueue. Each thread has each message queue. (Like a To do List), and the thread will take each message and process it until the message queue is empty. So, when the Handler communicates, it just gives a message to the caller thread and it will wait to process.
If you use Java threads then you need to handle the following requirements in your own code:
AsyncTask enables proper and easy use of the UI thread. This class allows performing background operations and publishing results on the UI thread without having to manipulate threads and/or handlers. An asynchronous task is defined by a computation that runs on a background thread and whose result is published on the UI thread.
AsyncTask will go through the following 4 stages:
Invoked on the UI thread before the task is executed
Invoked on the background thread immediately after onPreExecute() finishes executing.
Invoked on the UI thread after a call to publishProgress(Progress...).
Invoked on the UI thread after the background computation finishes.
Easy to use for a UI Thread. (So, use it when the caller thread is a UI thread). No need to manipulate Handlers.
Service A Service is a context similar to Activity but has no GUI.
Important: A service doesn't run in a new thread!
Read about Service and also check out How to always run a service in the background
This is the easiest answer for your question
is an unit of execution who run "parallel" to the Main Thread is important to signal that you can't update a UI componenet from the main thread here.
is for short Task because is tied to the host activity for example if you create a AsyncTask who going to pull data from a server (DON'T DO THIS) when you rotate the phone and the activity is recreated again the AsyncTask is recreate also
solve the above problem because it live separate from the activity that invoke him so it can continue running even when the activity is destroyed, it run in the Main Thread(beware of ANR) use a background service (extend IntedService it create the worker thread automatically for you). Service is like an activity without UI, is good for long task
In short, Service for
From developer's perspective:
Thread: Used to execute the set to codes parallely to the main thread. But you cannot handle the UI inside the thread. For that you need to use
ASyncTask: Used for handling those tasks that you cannot make to work on the main thread. For example, an HTTP request is very heavy work that cannot be handeled on the main thread, so you handle the HTTP request in the
Service: Is a background process. It is employed when you have to do some processing that doesn't have any UI associated with it.
service is like activity long time consuming task but Async task allows us to perform long/background operations and show its result on the UI thread without having to manipulate threads.

A UNESCO world heritage site, the Blue Mountains are a range of wild, scrubby peaks descending into shadowy valleys full of ferns and waterfalls. Visitors enjoy spectacular cliff top views over deep canyons, dozens of bushwalking tracks and picturesque old-world villages such as Leura. Charming pubs, tearooms and antique shops complete the picture for a romantic escape this winter.
Get away from it all with today's Groupon for The Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains:
• $428 for a two-night stay for two people ($854 value)
In a Superior King Room with full buffet breakfast daily, a bottle of red wine and cheese plate on arrival, late 4pm checkout, and $100 off dinner at hotel on one night, plus a complimentary stay for up to two children

In a Superior King Room with full buffet breakfast daily, a bottle of red wine and cheese plate on arrival, late 4pm checkout, and $100 off dinner at hotel on one night, plus a complimentary stay for up to two children
The Hotel
Perched on a cliff top overlooking the spectacular Jamison Valley, The Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains has recently been refurbished to the tune of several million dollars. Groupies relish the ultimate winter retreat with facilities including two swimming pools, tennis courts, a luxury spa and a number of bars and restaurants onsite. Each Superior King Room features designer armchairs, cosy woollen throw rugs, a gourmet minibar and high-end MOR toiletries, along with a flat screen TV and WiFi.

Groupon Recommends
First stop is the famous Three Sisters lookout at Echo Point in Katoomba, where nature lovers can take a hike down into the lush valley below, or around the cliff top for magnificent views. See the mountains from a different perspective with a trip down Australia's steepest train track, the Scenic Railway; or soar across the valleys on the Scenic Cableway, an exhilarating aerial cable car. Step back in time among the misty streets, boutiques and tea houses of Leura, where sweet-toothed types delight in a fantastic old-world lolly shop. Another Leura highlight is the beautiful heritage The Everglades Gardens, which are very close to the resort.
Local Amenities
The Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains is located a five-minute drive from the shops and restaurants of Leura in the Upper Blue Mountains. More extensive facilities including supermarkets and a number of tour operators can be found at Katoomba, a ten-minute drive away. From Sydney, Leura is 90 minutes by car or two hours by train.
My husband and I have just returned from a few days at the Fairmont. Overall we found the service fabulous, facilities good, and atmosphere was comfortable.
– Bathgate3554, TripAdvisor
Stayed at the hotel for a quiet weekend away. The hotel was great, our room on the top floor was huge and overlooked the mountains. Was close to everything we wanted to see and only 5 minute drive into Leura or 10 minutes to Katoomba. Would definitely stay here again.

I am totally with you! I go to bed around 9 or 10 every night too and always wake up before 7!
Senior Citizen Discount
After speaking with my real life friends I have come to realize that I am indeed a 90 year woman trapped in a 23 year olds body. With the exception of running, I am highly certain most of my habits resemble that of older people. I see nothing wrong with my lifestyle (except I don't get the senior citizen discount) and I guess neither did my later college roommates. In several living situations I was nicknamed the grandma of the house or grandma of swim practice.
Thank you college roommates!
It never really bothers me though and I do what makes me happy and healthy. I guess it just goes with my off and awkward style.
I've just compiled a list of my "grandma quirks".
I normally fall asleep by 9-10pm. In my defense, I try and log off the computer over 30 minutes beforehand. (so no I really don't go to sleep most of the time at 8:30). I've always found I sleep better if I log off far before I actually go to bed.
Going along with my sleeping habits I normally wake up at 6am…and gasp I really enjoy it. I enjoy my personal time in the morning to relax. Sometimes Tim is up, sometimes he is not. Either way my natural alarm goes off around 6 or so. Sometimes it's 6:01 and sometimes it's 5:58…but we all can't be perfect.
My meals normally reflect earlier hours too. I normally eat when I wake up, I'm starving for lunch around 11, starving for dinner around 4-5. This just means I get all the "early bird" specials.
I think older people like to gather and flock to diners to get coffee. What a coincidence…me too. Yes I like coffee but you won't catch me often with those new age folks getting fancy lattes at starbucks or hip coffee shops. Nothing beats the taste of a burnt cup of joe, being a regular and ordering the same thing multiple times in the same booth at your local diner.
I take a plethora of vitamins. I take a multivitamin, "joint lubricant pills" and calcium/vitamin D. I keep them all in their respectable MTWTFSS compartments in my pill box. I know I'm 23 and have a "pill box". It keeps me organized and I know whether or not I have taken them.
I would rather lay on my couch and watch TV and relax versus going out to the bar on weekends. Throughout later college it was what I did. Maybe that's a runner thing but I like to relax versus going out. Don't get me wrong, I did go out in college and we do go out now but nine times out of ten we are still back by ten on weekends.
I sit really close to the computer and really close to the TV. I wear glasses (fun fact) but my vision isn't terrible (-2.25) I just like to be close to everything. I also like to have the volume up really high…
I also like to wear 100 layers. I don't really mind when the temperature drops a little bit because no one can judge me in my patterned cable knit sweaters. I have been known to tell people dressed up for "ugly sweater parties" they look really nice.
I drive a Pontiac firebird and after getting 2 speeding tickets in upstate NY, I drive slow (not dangerously slow but not fast). People expect I'll go whirling down the road at 90 miles an hour in NJ. They have a rude awakening….I fear tickets more then I fear getting injured so I'll stay in the right hand lane and let those youngins get pulled over and pass me.
Question for you: What is one of your quirks?
26 Comments on "Senior Citizen Discount"
you don't need the vitamins/supplements if you eat a normal, healthy diet. they're a total waste of money. just sayin.
We are one in the same–I am such a grandma. I am up early on weekends regardless. I go to bed early. I cook nice meals and I rarely go out and 'rage' (that's what they're calling it these days right?) I get hungover like I'm 40 after 2 lousy drinks.
Looking at it this way I see why it's so difficult for me to find a man…. apparently I'm a 90 year old in a 23 year old body =)
This is my favorite post of yours!! I always say I am an 80 year old in a 35 year old body.
I knit, do jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, prefer to stay IN, and am such a creature of habit. One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday (AFTER doing a long run with my young friends) is go to the local knitting shop which is owned by two of my favorite people who are in their late 70's. My eyes start closing at 8:50 p.m. while on the couch watching tv (while knitting). I also LOVE watching the Golden Girls. Oh my goodness. Just writing it makes it hilarious.
But I'm also an avid runner and gym lover and am super active – the hours are just from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
I LOVE hearing young people who are senior citizens at heart. Even people younger than me! Yay. Makes me feel validated and "okay". Thanks Hollie!
I should say that I've always been this way – high school, college. I was never the partier out until 2 a.m. – except for a brief stint in my 20's. But even then I was the first out of the bar. So it shouldn't surprise me that there are younger people like me because when I was younger I was the same!

Ratings and rankings[edit]
The footnote on compensation for Type A free agents mentions ratings and rankings. Are they the same? For example, is a ranking of 65 better than 70, but a rating of 65 worse than 70? -- Margin1522 (talk) 14:32, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Early history[edit]
Today I replaced this paragraph entirely.
- Al was such a huge baseball fan that he began keeping track of statistics in the National League. Through the years, sportswriters began using his information. In 1922, National League president John Heydler hired Elias to aid him in record-keeping. Several years later, Elias Sports Bureau became the full-time baseball statistician for the National League; the American League followed suit later.
The AP obituary says NL and IL statistician for more than 20 years, as of 1939, which fits the IJSHOF biographical blurb on Al Elias. "Full-time" cannot be right. It would be nice to know the source for that "aid in record-keeping", which rings true as one step toward "contracting out" to Elias. --P64 (talk)

By renee bravo
July 23, 2009
May I respond to the lady who thinks (as do most people), that women must not say Kaddish in an orthodox synagogue.. She is quite wrong. It may be forbidden by some rabbis in some synagogues, but this is for traditional, social and political reasons, not religious ones.
Henrietta Szold, the founder of Hadassah and the daughter of a rabbi, was one of a family of daughters, no sons. When her mother died in 1916, a male relative offered to say Kaddish on her behalf. She declined the offer in a famous letter which contains these words. "When my father died, my mother would not permit others to take the place of her daughters in saying the Kaddish, so I am sure I am acting in her spirit when I am moved to decline your very beautiful offer".
Let me tell you some of my own experiences in this matter. Holidaying in Bournemouth during the sixties, I went into the hotel synagogue for the evening prayers, and I was asked by the (orthodox) rabbi if I had come to say Kaddish. When my husband died, I said Kaddish at the funeral at Waltham Abbey, at home throughout the shivah, and for the thirty days I said Kaddish at a Chabad House. I was recently in a situation where I wanted to say Kaddish, and I asked the orthodox rabbi conducting the ceremony if I might do so. He replied, "Yes, but very quietly please". I said it so quietly that only God could hear it.
Whole articles could be written listing the many famous and learned women who said Kaddish. Many books have been written by the most respected orthodox authorites as to why women could or should say Kaddish. Rashi said that the idea of women being exempt from time-bound commandments only applied to biblical law not rabbinic. As the Kaddish as a prayer for the dead was not common until the 13th Century, at the time of the crusades, it must be seen as an example of rabbinic law, influenced by the circumstances and mores of its time.
A woman may say Kaddish. But why is this left to a nobody like me to say it. Why doesn't the Chief Rabbi say it

The N-terminal tails of the core histones are subject to mutiple covalent modifications. The histone code hypothesis suggests that multiple histone modifications act in a combinatorial fashion to affect gene transcription. To investigate the combinatorial patterns of histone modifications at the promoter region of gene, Bayesian network method was used to analyze the causal relationships among 12 histone modifications in Saccharomyces. cerevisiae. The results show that there are 13 combinatorial patterns. In general, there are the causal relationships among some modifications which are strongly correlated. The modifications of H3K4Meland H3K18Ac are directly related to gene transcription. Other modifications affect indirectly gene transcription by H3K4Mel and H3K18Ac. Some causal relationships attribute to the modifying enzymes.

Does Anything Sound As Good As This Ford Escort Stunt Car?
Probably not.
Probably not.
Hey, remember when Ken Block turned his stage rally Mk2 Ford Escort into a tarmac-spec Gymkhana car? Yes, that was yesterday. Now watch it shred tires like a beast with Formula Drift pro Ryan Tuerck at the wheel.
Before the Mitsubishi Evo, before the Subaru Impreza, before the Audi Quattro there was the Ford Escort MkII. Now Kenneth H. Blockenstriker has one for some hectic Gymkhana action.
This is not a photoshop.
We've all heard the tale of the rally team that snapped their throttle cable mid-race. They stopped and threw away the hood, while one guy jumped in the engine bay and the other drove the rest of the rally at full throttle. But like all good stories, there's more than just glory and a ridiculous photo op.
Security camera footage from the Trackspeed Racing classic car shop shows a pair of thieves using a Land Rover as a battering ram, then hooking it up to a beautiful 1972 Ford Escort MK1, and yanking it right off the showroom floor. This is some straight-up Hollywood style insanity.
Burnouts, mate.
Every tried to explain to someone the difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive? Just show them this video.
Ever wondered why the Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts have such a cult following? Watch this rally video and you'll understand.
This video is from 1978, and the driving that you see in it would make your favorite drifter from 2014 look bad.
Well, it's back in China, who never really had the original ones, so "back" isn't exactly right. Still, Ford did just show this surprisingly handsome little sedan at the Beijing Auto Show, and for those of us who fondly remember Escorts (like the good British one, or even the American shitbox), this is news.
"I know nothing about rallying. I've seen the pictures in magazines, sometimes watched it on television. And I deliberately haven't listened to anyone about rally driving. I want to find out for myself." - Ayrton Senna
Sideways Escorts, wailing BDAs, dry British announcers, and drier Finnish jokes. It's a documentary on Ari Vatanen, a year before he won the world rally championship, back when rally cars were devastatingly good looking, glorious sounding, and rear wheel drive.
You might be surprised that Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts are powered by four-cylinder engines. Listen to a bunch of them rip some burnouts and you'll think they run on angel trumpets.
The Ford Escort name means very different things depending on which side of the pond you're from. For Europeans it's a classic, beloved small car with a rallying heritage that also gave birth to legends like the Escort Cosworth RS. For Americans, the Escort was kind of a shitbox.
Growing up as a kid who loved cars, I have many memories of certain influential cars I used to see around in Greensboro, NC. There was the pristine beige '66 Beetle in my neighborhood, the MGA I saw on the way to fifth grade every day, and I think I knew where all two of Greensboro's Fiat Stradas were in the 1980s.…
This is professional WRC driver Jari-Matti Latvala on his day off in a historic rally. He is about to give you a lesson in how to drive like a raging lunatic.

DENTON (January 16, 2014) A flight instructor and a student pilot escaped injury in the belly landing of their small plane Wednesday night at Denton Enterprise Airport.
Airport officials say one of the men on board radioed to report that a part of the landing gear on the Cessna 182 would not lock.
Emergency responders stood by during the landing.
Airport operations manager Patrick Carreno said Thursday that the plane was safely removed and the airport's lone runway reopened about an hour after the incident.
Officials with U.S. Aviation Academy did not immediately return a message Thursday.

Imperial Sugar is dedicating a memorial park at its refinery near Savannah in honor of 14 workers killed in a devastating explosion one year ago.
Employees and family members of those killed in the explosion and fire are gathering at the site Saturday to mark the anniversary of the blast that tore through the plant on Feb. 7, 2008.
The memorial, called Legacy Park, features bricks from the site arranged in the shape of a cross. In the center, a bronze statue of a pair of hands releases 14 doves representing the workers who
died. Their names are engraved on stones surrounding the statue.
Imperial Sugar CEO John Sheptor said the company wanted workers
and families to have a place on the refinery grounds to reflect on
the tragedy.

Terrebonne's Top 10
The Courier news staff ranks the top local news stories of 2007
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2007 at 6:03 p.m.
1. Morganza advances
Morganza-to-the-Gulf -- a 72-mile system designed to protect Terrebonne and parts of Lafourche from up to a Category 3 hurricane -- won overwhelming approval in both chambers of U.S. Congress and survived a presidential veto. The Water Resources Development Act, which includes $3 billion for Louisiana projects, had floundered in Congress for seven years, and things werent looking good this year. President Bush threatened to veto WRDA because of its multi-billion dollar price tag, and scientists and Time magazine alike took shots at the project, calling the levees design outdated and questioning its effectiveness. But the project won federal authorization in November after Congress overwhelmingly overrode the veto.
2. Elections yield new facesTerrebonne has a new parish president political newcomer Michel Claudet and, for the first time in more than two decades, a new sheriff Vernon Bourgeois, the current sheriffs second in command. A new governor, current U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal, was also voted into office. In the state Legislature, Terrebonnes delegation remains unchanged Sens. Reggie Dupre, D-Bourg, and Gordon Dove, R-Houma, and Rep. Damon Baldone, D-Houma, will all return to the state capitol . At the Parish Council level, seven men and two women will run local government. Five Alvin Tillman, Arlanda Williams, Clayton Voisin Sr., Teri Cavalier and Pete Lambert are returning members, and four Leland Robichaux, Billy Hebert, John Pizzolatto and Joey Cehan are newcomers.
3. Schools superintendent debacleSuperintendent Ed Richard nearly lost his job earlier this year as School Board members argued over whether to renew his contract. After a deadlock vote that would have allowed his contract to expire in January, the community sprang to action, drawing up petitions and applying to the state to recall board members who voted to oust Richard. The recall effort failed. And Richard was reinstated in March by a slim majority, who gave him a pay raise and a new two-year contract to boot.
4. Man kills 2, jumps off bridgeDavid Ray Mitchell, 26, leaped to his death from the top of the downtown Houma twin spans March 23, less than two hours before the bodies of his 20-year-old girlfriend and 4-year-old daughter were found stabbed to death in their Senator Circle apartment. Mitchell is believed to have killed Frederica Coleman, his girlfriend, and their daughter, Davonya Coleman, before scaling the bridge.
5. Ex-deputy convicted of sex with teenFormer Terrebonne Sheriffs deputy Glenn Michael Brunet, 47, long assigned to South Terrebonne High, was convicted Sept. 13 of having sex with a 16-year-old girl. Brunet was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Brunet still faces charges in Lafourche Parish, where he also allegedly had sexual encounters with the girl.
6. Legislators racial remarkThe year 2006 was not a happy one for State Rep. Carla Dartez. After seven years representing District 51, which includes parts of Terrebonne, St. Mary and Assumption parishes, the Morgan City Democrat was bested by Republican challenger Joe Harrison. Her defeat came days after allegations surfaced that Dartez had referred to Hazel Boykin, mother of Terrebonne Parish NAACP President Jerome Boykin, as Buckwheat during a telephone talk between the two women. Dartez said she did not mean to offend. But the incident for which Dartez later apologized garnered widespread attention and is believed to have cost her the race.
7. Murders on Main StreetJohnny Honeycutt, 24, was shot to death in front of the Post Office Club in downtown Houma on July 14, just three days after 40-year-old Ernestine Johnson was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds a few blocks away. Clyde Matthew Trosclair, 19, will stand trial for killing Honeycutt and wounding another man after Trosclair and his friends fought with Honeycutt at another downtown bar. Three men were initially arrested in Johnsons slaying, which police described as a robbery-murder, though charges against one, 24-year-old Sylvester Anthony White III, were not upheld by a grand jury. The two other suspects, Rayfield Conrad Corey Wells, 25, and Brandon James Frank, 19, were indicted on first-degree murder charges.
8. Local economy boomsLoren Scott, a well-known economist, predicts exponential growth in Houma-Thibodauxs economy in the coming year. Describing the area as one of the states fastest growing, he said the region should see more than 2,500 jobs created in the oil industry in 2008. The good report coincided with the news that New Orleans is recovering at a slower pace.
9. Casino murder convictionOn Dec. 12, Romalis Gordon, 36, admitted murdering two women during a robbery at a Coteau truck-stop casino nearly two years ago. Brenda Granny Roberson, a 64-year-old unarmed security guard, and 29-year-old Schaeffer Francis, a night manager, were shot to death March 3, 2006, at Luckys Truck Stop Casino on La. 182. Prosecutors offered Gordon a pair of life sentences to be served at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola in exchange for guilty pleas.
10. Wifes murderer convicted
John Bonvillain, 43, was sentenced March 8 to life in prison for murdering his wife by locking her inside a sealed storage box in September 2004. The sentence came less than three months after Bonvillain was convicted of manslaughter and obstruction of justice in the death of 19-year-old Ashley Scivicque, whose body was found inside the trunk of Bonvillains Cadillac. He was sentenced to serve 60 years in prison on those charges in January.

A major issue for many fantasy hockey teams is the non-performing defenseman. It's so easy to overlook and so difficult to do anything about it, so most owners are content to just watch Roman Hamrlik, Marc Staal or Kim Johnsson do just enough not to damage your fantasy team but at the same time not make any significant contribution.
The NPD will sometimes even go unnoticed thanks to strength in some categories, but is weighed down by his overall performance. Carlo Colaiacovo may continue to put up some points, but with no penalty minutes, shots on goal or ice time to speak of, he is doing more harm than good.
While NPDs in disguise are part of the problem, owner complacency is just as dangerous. A cursory glance at the waiver wire will never show a better option for an Anton Stralman owner because that's the kind of picture NPDs try to paint. "See, no one has been better over the full season," the NPD would say, conveniently leaving out the fact that there are plenty of more usable options when you break things down to a shorter time frame.
While you may look at your team now and see Dan Hamhuis or Alex Goligoski in your fourth defenseman spot and realize you have been a victim this season, know that it is not too late. Breaking the cycle of NPDs now could help you carry over the positive changes to next season. So ditch Francois Beauchemin and Fedor Tyutin now and commit to a new regimen for next season in which you will put in the work to make sure you never suffer from NPD again.
I've included some prescription options below to help you deal with the withdrawal that can be associated with NPD.
Grab 'em
Jamie McBain, D, Carolina Hurricanes (available in 90 percent of ESPN leagues): An offensive defenseman by trade, McBain has also honed his positioning game to the point where he has all the tools to be a star fantasy defenseman in the NHL. His late-season debut with the Hurricanes will just wind up being a taste of what is to come, but if you need help on the blue line, don't hesitate to use him. A former Hobey Baker Award finalist at Wisconsin, McBain tallied 40 points in 68 games with the AHL's Albany River Rats before being called up to the NHL two weeks ago. McBain has six points in seven NHL games, making it hard to picture any fantasy roster that couldn't use his production. He is already playing 25 minutes a night for the Canes and is on the point for the first power-play unit with Joni Pitkanen as a partner. Essentially, McBain stepped right into Joe Corvo's shoes and has had no problem filling them.
Dennis Seidenberg, D, Boston Bruins (available in 83 percent): Don't ask me how or why, but since heading to the Bruins at the trade deadline, Seidenberg has been treated like royalty. It's not a huge stretch to understand why coach Claude Julien paired him up with Zdeno Chara; Seidenberg is a left-handed shot and Chara's previous partner, Derek Morris, just left town via trade. But Seidenberg is also playing a ton of power-play minutes now with Dennis Wideman as a partner. Never someone you wanted to write home about from a fantasy perspective, Seidenberg has already set a career high for points this season. Strictly as a Bruin, he has eight points and a plus-9 in 13 games.
Erik Karlsson, D, Ottawa Senators (available in 99 percent): When Filip Kuba is out of the Senators' lineup, Karlsson turns into a different player. Victoria Matiash pointed out the possible replacement value of Karlsson last week, but the case has become stronger since then. In four games since it was announced Kuba would be out, Karlsson has seven points. He is also a plus-3 in those four games compared to being a minus-9 in the previous five games.
Ditch 'em
Jussi Jokinen, LW, Carolina Hurricanes (owned in 50 percent of ESPN leagues): There were plenty of reasons to own Jokinen before the Hurricanes dropped out of playoff contention. Since the Canes' fate was for all intents and purposes sealed earlier this month, they have been trying out some younger players for the future. Brandon Sutter has seen extended ice time, and Drayson Bowman and Zach Boychuk have both been handed a stick. That has meant a reduced role for Jokinen to the point where he is almost irrelevant to fantasy owners. I stress almost, because any fantasy owner desperate for power-play points should keep him around, as his role on the man advantage has not changed. If you are not using him for his power-play points, though, feel free to part ways.
Cristobal Huet, G, Chicago Blackhawks (owned in 93 percent): I know, you've come a long way together, but it's time to let go. Antti Niemi has forced the Blackhawks to roll with him for the remainder of the season and Huet can be let go by any fantasy owner needing a roster spot. In his only game action over the past two weeks, Huet allowed seven goals on 27 shots.
Quick Hits
Jakub Voracek is available in 25 percent of ESPN leagues and is coming on very strong as the season winds down. On a line with fellow developing young star Derick Brassard, Voracek has seven points in his past four games, nine in his past seven and 15 in his past 13. This streak has been ongoing for some time now. While he hasn't taken the step forward many were expecting this season, this late-season push could go a long way to helping us forget his slow start. Kari Lehtonen is still starting the majority of games for the Dallas Stars and looking good in the process. The added advantage with Lehtonen is that thanks to the Stars' wonky defense, he faces a ton of shots for a stronger save percentage. Rob Blake and Marc-Edouard Vlasic are happy to see each other again. Blake has six points since Vlasic returned to his side on the ice a week ago. Vlasic has just one point, but a plus-6 since returning from injury to help the San Jose Sharks end a losing streak. Blake is owned in most leagues, but Vlasic is not. Those owners looking to close out with some penalty minutes can look to defenseman Dean Arsene. The Edmonton Oilers are short on blueliners and Arsene has 26 PIMs in three games.

We often write about some of the interesting cloud computing research projects taking place via Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and NERSC, so when we had a chance to record Kathy Yelick,, NERSC Director at SC10, we took the opportunity to help put a face to the name and lend insight into what's happening at one of the more prominent national centers in cloud and HPC research.
Last week leading figures from the HPC and cloud realm gathered in Frankfurt, Germany, for the ISC Cloud Conference, which was organized by the same team that puts together the long-running International Supercomputing Conference each year. The conference drew leading speakers from industry and academia to discuss the challenges, benefits and future of cloud for high-performance computing.
Since its launch in 2009, the Magellan cloud computing testbed has produced some results of interest to the scientific computing community in its effort to evalue the cost-effectiveness and energy-efficiency, not to mention performance for clouds in scientific applications. Kathy Yelick, NERSC Director discusses some key findings.

Hysteresis based measurements are a standard part of many rock magnetic investigations. Whilst they provide information on the various magnetic minerals present in a natural sample they can also offer an insight into the domain state of the grains. The most commonly employed method to derive such structural information from hysteresis measurements is the Day plot, which employs ratios of different parameters to demarcate the possible domain states. Numerous experimental and modelling investigations have demonstrated that interpretation of the Day plot is not a simple task because the position at which an assemblage of magnetic grains plots within the space of the diagram is not solely a function of domain state. Here two mechanisms that appear to influence the Day plot are investigated. It is well known that thermal activation of an assemblage has the effect of randomising the magnetisation of grains until at sufficiently high temperatures they become superparamagnetic. A collection of Monte Carlo simulations for uniaxial, single-domain, Stoner-Wohlfarth (SW) grains with atomic moments that rotate coherently (Stoner and Wohlfarth, 1948), are utilised to demonstrate that the expression of this process could be easily misinterpreted as the signature of a different domain state. Secondly, the different published methods for determining the coercivity of remanent magnetisation are assessed and it is shown that the same sample can plot in a variety of different locations within the space of the Day plot depending on which method is employed.

Woman arrested after undercover sale
Published: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 7:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 7:37 p.m.
A Hendersonville woman is facing drug and child abuse charges after police say she attempted to sell drugs to an undercover Henderson County Sheriff's Office deputy.
Anita Eva Spradlin, 43, of 1463 Green Mountain Road, Hendersonville, was arrested Tuesday and charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver a controlled substance, maintaining a place for a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, selling or delivering marijuana and misdemeanor child abuse.
The child abuse charge stems from Spradlin having her 2-year-old child with her while making an illegal drug transaction.
Custody of the child went to a family friend and the Department of Social Services was notified of the incident, according to Henderson County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jerry Rice.
The maintaining a place for a controlled substance charge stems from having marijuana and Oxycodone in her 2000 Mercury sedan, according to court records.
Spradlin was had 10 Oxycodone pills, along with plastic bags used to contain marijuana, in her possession when she attempted to sell marijuana to an undercover drug agent, court records show.
She had her first appearance in Henderson County District Court Wednesday morning. Her case was assigned to the Henderson County Public Defender's Office.
Spradlin's probable cause hearing is set for Sept. 30. She is currently being held in the Henderson County jail under a $5,000 secured bond.

How should I index a date column when some rows has null values? We have to select rows between a date range and rows with null dates.
We use Oracle 9.2 and higher.
Options I found
- Using a bitmap index on the date column
- Using an index on date column and an index on a state field which value is 1 when the date is null
- Using an index on date column and an other granted not null column
My thoughts to the options are:
to 1: the table have to many different values to use an bitmap index
to 2: I have to add an field only for this purpose and to change the query when I want to retrieve the null date rows
to 3: locks tricky to add an field to an index which is not really needed
What is the best practice for this case? Thanks in advance
Some infos I have read:
Oracle Date Index
When does Oracle index null column values?
Our table has 300,000 records. 1,000 to 10,000 records are inserted and delete every day. 280,000 records have a null delivered_at date. It is a kind of picking buffer.
Our structure (translated to english) is:
create table orders
orderid VARCHAR2(6) not null,
customerid VARCHAR2(6) not null,
compartment VARCHAR2(8),

last_update DATE not null,

A New Approach to Fitness Coaching
Gyms focus on building better habits
By Barbara Russi Sarnataro
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
Carla Brooks had an on-again, off-again relationship with exercise.
"I'd get started and do pretty well for a while, but I'd get busy and drop off," said the 52-year-old former schoolteacher from Alpharetta, Ga. This often happened in the summer, when her family was traveling and eating out more often.
But, she says, all that changed last summer when she enrolled in the Coach Approach program at her local YMCA. Coach Approach, used in YMCAs in 14 major U.S. cities, is a customized workout program that works on building the exercise habit before promising physical changes.
"It's a behavioral change tool for people who have a hard time sticking with exercise and letting everything else in life come first," says Jennifer Unruh, director of wellness support services for the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta.
Coach Approach is the brainchild of Jim Annesi, PhD, a behavioral psychologist who is director of wellness advancement for the Metro Atlanta YMCA. Hoping to address the huge dropout rate among new gym members, he implemented the program three years ago.
Though people are better informed about the benefits of exercise than ever before, many still find it hard to stick with a fitness program. Between 55% and 65% of new gym members drop out in the first three to six months, according to a 2003 study published in the European Journal of Sports Science.

Did anybody else see Greens co-leader-person Rod Donald describe himself as a "radical capitalist" on Kim Hill's show last night? It's true, as he says, that he has run a business or two, but he's not exactly the "radical for capitalism" that Ayn Rand was when she described herself that way, or even the radical for capitalism the guy is over there on the right.
Still, politicians used to show lip service to socialism. These days, they're paying lip service to capitalism. Even Jim Anderton wants company tax cuts these days.
Maybe those Celebrate Capitalism guys are making progress (read their declaration here). Anyone want to sign up to be a coordinator for a New Zealand city next year? It can be fun as the Worldwide WalkForCapitalism showed, and the organisation for next year's event starts now.

Director: Chris Streams
Company: Third Degree Films

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

The good: Uniformly gorgeous women and Third Degree's typical rich production values (yeah, they really do add to the strokability).
The o.k.: the action, which in general is solid, not scalding, hard, but not really hard. Each of the five scenes follows this drill: two girls suck off director Chris Streams P.O.V.-like and engage in one round of pop swapping. They then get fucked (and frequently analyzed) by another woodsman, culminating in a second single round of scum sharing. This reviewer far prefers wilder, nastier dick wad divvying - back and forth, spitting, etc.
The not-so-hot: The sound throughout had to be cranked way up just to hear it, and even then? Though that merely could be our review copy.
Retailing: Share the Load 3 has already charted very high, so join the party.

Sergio Martinez sparring philosophy
For those of you that missed 24/7 yesterday, Sergio and his trainer stated that they usually don't do more than 60 rds of sparring for any fight.
Many members in here have stated for years that sparring is the major culprit in causing brain damage, and wear and tear on boxers. That there is no need for excessive rounds of sparring like we hear boxers do all the time.
When you've been boxing for that long you just need to work on your conditioning(you can do it through many other ways that is not sparring) and fight planning/strategy.

Sergio got that from his Idol Joe Calzaghe.
Calzaghe almost didn't do any sparring at all before a fight, it was more conditioning for him.
And look at guys like Toney, who is always on sparring wars, and you just have to hear him talk.
There are many drills in the ring, that work on you before a fight, than doing hundreds of rounds of sparring, and in the process getting your brain blown out in meaningless rounds in the gym.

that makes sense...even with those head gears a blow to the head is still a blow to the head.

Headgear doesn't protect you from the power of someone's punch, or from being hurt. Headgear is to protect from cuts, like from headbutts, and just cuts in general. It can also protect you from getting bruises.
That's a mistake people do, they think headgear is like some kind of video game cheat code where you're head is protected from being hurt. Wrong, it still hurts the same with or without it. You're just protected from cuts and bruises. I was told this years ago from some old guys at a boxing gym in the Bronx[not the video game analogy].
