Gwinnett Daily Post
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- A regional planning official says she's pressing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to change the way it moves water through the river basin that flows in and out of Lake Lanier.
The Atlanta Regional Commission is pushing the Corps to reconsider its efforts to protect endangered species in the Apalachicola River, says Pat Stevens, chief of environmental planning for the commission. The river forms at the corners of Georgia, Florida and Alabama and flows to the Gulf.
The Corps under most circumstances releases at least 5,000 cubic feet of water per second from a dam in Chattahoochee, Fla., to protect endangered mussels and sturgeon breeding grounds, reports say.
"Our view is we don't think that's going to be sustainable in the long term, multiyear drought," Stevens said. "We've not seen the worst drought yet."
She made the comments during a speech to Hall County business leaders on Tuesday.
She said that conservation efforts in metro Atlanta are better than most areas now. She said per capita water demand has consistently decreased in metro Atlanta since 2006.
However, she said consumption of water from the Flint River for farms in southwest Georgia is straining water supply in the metro Atlanta area.
"Our estimate is, in the last summer, Lanier was drawn down about four feet because (water) wasn't coming from the Flint," Stevens said.
"That's an issue that we're going to have to grapple with," she said.

Nationals Park
Attendance: 30,359
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - The long and agonizing wait is over.
For the first time since Andre Dawson was shagging fly balls in Montreal, the Washington Nationals' franchise is heading back to the postseason.
Ross Detwiler tossed six solid innings, while Ryan Zimmerman and Danny Espinosa ripped RBI doubles in Washington's 4-1 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the rubber match of a three-game set.
Drew Storen struck out the side in the ninth to notch his third save of the season and the franchise's first postseason appearance since 1981.
During the lockout-shortened 1981 season, Montreal defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series before falling to the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
It's the first time in 79 years that a DC team has made the postseason, when the 1933 Washington Senators fell to the New York Giants in the World Series.
"This is definitely a meaningful moment," Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth said of the momentous win. "We'll celebrate tonight and go back to work tomorrow."
Detwiler (10-6) fanned five and surrendered a run on three hits for Washington, which had lost four of its past five games coming in.
Chris Capuano (11-11) allowed four runs -- three earned -- on six hits and a walk for the Dodgers, who have dropped three of their last four contests and sit three games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the NL's second wild-card spot.
"We're going in the wrong direction," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
The Nationals opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the third.
Werth led off the third with a single and Bryce Harper reached on a fielder's choice. Harper scored when Zimmerman hit a double into the left-center field gap. Zimmerman moved to third on Adam LaRoche's groundout and scored on a Capuano wild pitch.
Detwiler retired the first nine Dodgers in order before Mark Ellis began the fourth with a blast into the Los Angeles bullpen in left field, but Washington tacked on two more runs in the home half to make it a 4-1 game.
After Ian Desmond walked to start the frame, Espinosa pulled a double down the third-base line, which plated Desmond. Espinosa, who scampered to third on Hanley Ramirez's throwing error home, scored when Kurt Suzuki lifted a sacrifice fly to right field.

I did this groupon a few weeks ago, great way to start. It does not cover shipping, it just gives you a credit for the amount and you pay shipping. Still a great deal, I'm trying to decide on which brew to get with my $25 coupon.
That is a killer deal. They aren't making much $ on it with the $25 coupon for a second kit...they are counting on the lifetime value of each new customer. I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Has anyone purchased this Groupon, but was able to use it for other things? For instance, does it work like a gift certificate or will or only purchase the beginners kit and beer kit?

I have just about finished my first model, and was curious, after someone else mentioned something similar, who might be interested.
I have taken clear turn signal housings for the 1st gen turn signal in the front bumper and converted them to dual-purpose. When driving normally, with no driving lights on, turn signal operates as factory, flashing yellow. Turn on driving lights and the light is a bright white light that operates like a driving light. If you are driving at night (or in the day for that matter) and have the driving lights on, turning on the turn signal will turn off the driving light on that side, and start flashing yellow. I have yet to determine exact cost for this, as I am still figuring out if I want them to be plug-n-play with the driving light harness included, or if the purchaser would want to have their own driving light control.
Anyone interested in this type of a setup?

I'm going to stop making predictions. I was right on the money for Monday's game but after that I've been as accurate as CNN's coverage of the Swine Flu. Behind two home runs and six RBIs from junior center fielder Justin De La Nunez, Monrovia High took control of the Rio Hondo League race with a 12-7 win over San Marino on a hot Thursday afternoon at Monrovia High. Monrovia holds a one-game lead over San Marino as we head into the final week of league play. The Wildcats now control their own destiny with games against Blair on Tuesday and South Pasadena on Thursday. Monrovia knows how important it's going to be to not overlook any teams since Blair and South Pas will be looking to play the role of spoilers (i.e. La Canada). Temple City and the Spartans will be fighting out for third place. It's too bad one of these teams won't get into the playoffs. San Marino can still win first but some things have to happen. The bats came alive today for the Titans but unfortunately for them so did Monrovia's. De La Nunez, after hitting his sixth, seventh and eighth home runs this week, is really pushing for player of the year status. I'll be back with more after I file a couple stories. Look out for a photo gallery, too. Chime in with other results and tell me who YOU think will finally win this thing. God I love this kind of baseball!!!!!

Baseball: Arcadia's loss creates buzz in Pacific League
Arcadia lost to Burbank earlier this week for the second time this season. Not sure how that bodes on the Apaches but what we do know is that Pasadena wasn't counting on Arcadia losing. The Pacific League looks like this right now. I have added games remaining for each team as well.
1. Arcadia (18-4, 9-2): vs. Glendale (Friday); vs. Pasadena (May 12) vs. Crescenta Valley (May 15).
T2. Burroughs (17-7, 8-3): at Muir (Friday); vs. Hoover (May 12); vs. Burbank (May 15).
T2. Burbank (10-8-1, 8-3): vs. CV at Stengel (Saturday); vs. Muir (May 12); at Burroughs (May 15).
4. Crescenta Valley (12-7, 7-4): vs. Burbank (Saturday); vs. Glendale (May 12); at Arcadia (May 15).
5. Pasadena (13-10-1, 6-5): vs. Hoover (Friday); at Arcadia (May 12); vs. Muir (May 15).
6. Hoover (7-9, 4-7): at Pasadena (Friday); at Burroughs (May 12); vs. Glendale (May 15).
Pasadena is one game behind Crescenta Valley and two games behind Burbank. Pasadena's eyes will be all over the Burbank-CV game on Saturday at Stengel Field. Game starts at 6 p.m. Pasadena will be rooting for Burbank to beat CV. If Pasadena beats Hoover on Friday they'll be tied with CV at 7-5 and tied for the final playoff spot. The Bulldogs, however, hold the tiebreaker over CV. If Pasadena goes 2-1 in its final three games of the regular season as does CV, both teams would finish tied at 8-5. This scenario is more likely to happen, meaning if such is the case both CV and Pasadena will play in a playoff game Saturday at Arcadia at 11 a.m. for the league's fourth playoff spot. The winner moves on to the playoffs. Arcadia has proven to be the best team in the Pacific League but to lose to Burbank twice in the same season is big. You gotta be thinking Burbank is kicking itself in the butt after losing twice to Pasadena and losing once to Burroughs. An Arcadia win earlier this week would have increased Pasadena's chances, putting Burbank with four losses. If Pasadena would have been tied with Burbank the Bulldogs would have won that tiebreaker as well. The dust has not settled just yet in the Pacific.
Dodgers' Manny Ramirez tests positive for performance-enhancing drugs, suspended 50 games starting tonight
Well, so much for the feel good story that is the Dodgers winning its first 13 home games this season, a new Major League record. The buzz now will surround good 'ol Manny Ramirez who was suspended 50 games for violation of MLB Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, The Times' Bill Shakin and Dylan Hernandez reports.
The suspension will cost Ramirez $7.7 million, or roughly 31% of his $25-million salary. Players in violation of baseball's drug policy are not paid during suspensions.
The Times first reported this early this morning.
Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly.
The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles.
With the suspension taking effect with tonight's game against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium, Ramirez will not be eligible to return to the team until July 3.
Ramirez would become the biggest star suspended under an oft-criticized major league testing program that started in 2003. He had been a model citizen since arriving in Los Angeles last August, following a stormy tenure with the Boston Red Sox.
This is the second drug scandal to rock baseball within four months. In a year in which baseball officials hoped their greatest concern would be the slumping economy, the two highest-paid players in the game have been revealed to have failed a drug test.
Alex Rodriguez, the game's highest-paid player, acknowledged during a February news conference that he used steroids from 2001 to 2003. The admission followed a Sports Illustrated report that he failed a drug test in 2003, when players were not subject to suspension.
CHAOS IN THE RIO HONDO LEAGUE!!!! Monrovia rallies in the bottom of the 7th to beat Temple City, 4-3, but the big surprise is South Pasadena beating La Caada, 11-3
Temple City mounted a comeback to tie the game in the fifth but it wasn't enough as Monrovia got a key hit to drop in the seventh, scoring Robert Nakamura in the bottom of the seventh to afford the Wildcats a thrilling 4-3 win on a hot Wednesday afternoon in Rio Hondo League action at Monrovia High. Richard Kilbury pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed just one run for Monrovia. Uriel Velasco came in relief to allow two runs and Aaron Murphree pitched a scoreless seventh to record the victory. Temple City's hopes for a playoff spot is still very well alive, and they can thank South Pasadena for beating La Caada. They can breath a little easier, especially after the Rams were negated a run in the seventh that would have given them a 4-3 lead. With one out in the seventh, Dusty Sanderson singled to left. Kyle Wilkinson hit a single over the shortstop to put two on and just one out. At the plate was Branden Pultz but his grounder took Wilkinson out at second, which would have been just two outs. Instead, Wilkinson was called on interference as he slid to second, negating Sanderson's score. The double play ended the threat. Initially, the umpire did not motion the out, but as Monrovia coach Brad Blackmore said, the umpires don't motion out on a double play, only when the batter interferes the catcher. Nevertheless, Temple City made it interesting when Christian Cano threw out Nick Bueno at home to record the second out. Unfortunately, Conrad Council came to the plate and sent what looked to be a fly ball to center. The ball dropped and Nakamura scored in dramatic fashion to end the game. You have to feel bad for Wilkinson. First he gets the interference call and then he doesn't make the play at center. It was nice to some of his teammates console him as Wilkinson slowly walked from center to join the rest of his teammates. Monrovia hosts San Marino in what could be a pitcher's duel with Garrett Simpson going to the mound for the Wildcats and Andrew Sloan doing the same for the Titans.

Football: La Caada's Dan Yoder ready for challenge
La Caada High School's Dan Yoder was having fun coaching a group of players without having to deal with the spotlight. But that all changed when Rich Wheeler, the school's longest-serving coach, resigned after 12 years as the Spartans football coach. Enter Yoder. He was the junior varsity coach the last four years. He's also been a history teacher at La Caada the last five years. "I really didn't expect to see it happen this fast," Yoder said. "It's always something I thought about but I really enjoyed my (junior varsity) experience, both as the head coach who got to call the shots and also that you're the JV guy; it's a little less of scrutiny coming down on you." As head coach Yoder understands he'll be the head figure of the football program. The task can be daunting but it's a challenge he'll take head on. "It's going to be a bigger challenge," he said. "You're in the spotlight now and people will criticize your every move, but I'm looking forward to it. "The guys have faith in me and I have faith in them." Wheeler's resignation moved Yoder's plans ahead of schedule in becoming a head coach. "I wouldn't say I planned on this right away, it's just sort of the way it played out." Yoder's hiring gives the Spartans program a sense of continuity. Working alongside Wheeler meant he understood what was needed to move the program forward. "The administration knew I had a good rapport with the kids," Yoder said. Yoder will be taking over a program that was minutes away from making the playoffs last season. The Spartans are in a deep Rio Hondo League that boasts two teams (Temple City, Monrovia) that reached at least the quarterfinals. La Caada returns talented quarterback Rocky Moore, but aside from him the Spartans will be thin. Still, Yoder has lofty expectations, even if it means they could turn into long-term goals. "We don't want to just try to succeed in league," Yoder said. "We want to get past the second round of the playoffs so we started in the weight room and doing more with our offseason program, adding more structure and go in the direction we set out." That means elevating the spring ball schedule and being more involved with the program. That can become challenging because of the multi-sport athletes at La Caada, which Yoder is a fan of. "I'm really a big advocate of multi-sport athletes," he said. "I'm not a fan of specialization; it's good for them to be out there and competing." Mike Williams, who used to coach at La Caada, will coach the junior varsity and he'll be assisted by his son, Gavin, a teacher on campus. The freshman staff is the same with Steve Zimmerman and Casey Mullet.
Brent Pattison will be the defensive coordinator on varsity and Yoder will call the shots on offense. Jerry Regan, who will coach the quarterbacks and defensive backs, John May and Brian Rodriguez, new to La Caada, will make up the rest of the varsity staff. Yoder still is looking to fill the offensive line position. "We have interviewed a couple of guys," he said, "and we'll finalize that soon."
Baseball: Rio Hondo League party at Monrovia High
Above: Monrovia's Justin De La Nuez (13) celebrates his home run.
All eyes will be on La Caada-Monrovia Part III. It's the final installment in the rivalry whose result could impact the rest of the Rio Hondo League. La Caada (15-3, 7-3) will try to take the season-series by beating Monrovia (12-7-1, 7-3). Both teams are tied for second place. The winner will have a share for first place with league-leading San Marino. Should the Wildcats win it'll set up a huge game against the Titans on Thursday at Monrovia. And as you all know the Wildcats are the back-to-back-to-back Rio Hondo League champions, so you know they won't go down without a fight. The Spartans return Eric Smith. He missed Friday's game for being tossed from Wednesday's game. Monrovia won the first game of the series, 12-0, and the La Caada came right back last week with a 9-5 victory. In that game, the Spartans sent 11 batters to the plate and scored six runs to take control in the fourth inning. "If La Caada and Monrovia want to win this thing they're going to have to go through (San Marino)," Temple City coach Barry Bacon said, "and they're going to determine who gets in the playoffs. It's San Marino's game to win; they're playing the best baseball." We're sending a photographer to this game. Keith Lair will cover this game and yours truly will try to make it and watch as a fan like the rest of you. Anybody care for a prediction? I'm going with Monrovia, 6-4. The Wildcats can't and won't go down without a fight.
Baseball: San Marino takes control, LC beats Monrovia
Behind a solid performance by Andrew Sloan on the mound and Michael Thompson's clutch hitting, San Marino defeated Temple City, 8-6, in a three-hour marathon Friday evening in Rio Hondo League action at San Marino High. Coupled by the Titans' (14-6, 8-3) win and La Caada's 9-5 win over Monrovia earlier in the day, San Marino holds a half a game lead over the rest of the pack for first in the Rio Hondo League standings. Temple City (13-8, 7-4) now sits in fourth place. San Marino scored two runs in the first and Temple City came right back in the second to tie the game at 2 on a bases-clearing single from Julian Jarrard, sending Branden Pultz and Alec Vigil home. Temple City's Dusty Sanderson hit a three-run home run in the fourth that pulled the Rams to within 6-5, but that's as close as they would get. Thompson went 3-for-4, including a line drive down the third base line for a double that scored Jonathan Merhaut and Steven Wright to give the Titans an 8-5 lead in the fourth. San Marino's Chris Warren picked up his second straight save. Temple City's Jordan Halladay didn't last two innings. He gave up three runs on seven hits, but that wasn't the primary reason he was pulled out of the game. Temple City pitching coach Nick Gomez yanked Halladay because — according to Temple City caoch Barry Bacon — Halladay broke down discipline wise. "That's coach's choice," Bacon said. "We broke down discipline wise. When you break discipline you're not mentally ready to go. So you get out and get someone else ready to go. I'll just say mentally he broke down discipline, we put Jimmy (Britt) in the game and Jimmy did great."Halladay gave up a single, balked, and gave up a triple in the second before he was taken out. "It's a combination of things where we need to stay mentally disciplined and not let our emotions take the best of us and when it does we're going to get someone else in there to take over," Bacon said. "That's why Gomez does such a great job; we have guys on the bench that can come in and throw strikes. That's the beauty of my assistant coaches, they do a fantastic job (where) we have a great pitching staff that can get anybody to pitch."
La Caada (15-3, 7-3) visits Monrovia (12-7-1, 7-3) in another showdown Monday.
Wildcats ace Ricahrd Kilbury made his first start since a 12-0 win over the Spartans to open Rio Hondo League play. He threw 40 pitches, had two unearned runs, two strikeouts, one hit and one walk for the no decision. Luis Carrasquero had two base hits to lead La Caada, which finished the game with 10 hits. The Spartans finally took control in the fourth inning when they sent 11 batters to the plate that resulted in six runs. While San Marino has stolen the spotlight in the Rio Hondo League, you can bet all eyes will be on Monday's La Caada-Monrovia Part III. "If La Caada and Monrovia want to win this thing they're going to have to go through (San Marino)," Bacon said, "and they're going to determine who gets in the playoffs. It's San Marino's game to win; they're playing the best baseball." We'll be there with a photographer. Keith Lair will be covering the game while yours truly enjoys the ball game with the rest of you. Deadline is approaching, time to file my story….
Melendez: Is Rio Hondo League deep? Yes and no
This column appeared on page 3B of the Star-News sports section on Friday, May 1
OK, so this season's Rio Hondo League slate isn't the strongest and deepest ever.
But who said it was?
Read carefully:
"This is as strong and deep I've seen as a whole," Monrovia baseball co-head coach Brad Blackmore said earlier this week.
"It's not everybody's best team, but it's evenly matched, and you can throw South Pasadena in there too."
We'll get to South Pasadena in a bit.
But first let us dissect the second portion of Blackmore's statement: It's not everybody's best team, but it's evenly match.
That's the point Rio Hondo League veterans seem to be missing, including an anonymous poster who had this to say on our "From The Sidelines" blog at www.insidesocal.com/paspreps:
"Strongest and deepest? That comes from a reporter who hasn't been around that long. It's not the strongest and deepest by any stretch, rather the weakest and by weak I mean all teams are average so (there) is parity. … Do some homework before you make silly statements like that. … How can you ask if this is the deepest (Rio Hondo League) ever? The question alone is utterly ridiculous."
Obviously he/she is a big fan of yours truly, but by no stretch did your favorite sportswriter ever say or write the former.
The question was posed and readers answered with an emphatic "No."

AMERICA/HONDURAS - Domestic violence, poverty, organized crime for the children of one of the most violent countries in the world
Tegucigalpa (Agenzia Fides) - Poverty and domestic violence force Honduran children to abandon their homes and live on the streets, subject to enormous risks such as forced recruitment by organized crime. This is what is said in a statement by the head of the humanitarian international organization Casa Alianza that assists about 20,000 children in need in Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua every year. In Tegucigalpa alone young children who live on the street are about 3000. Criminal gangs take advantage of the fact that the laws in Honduras, home to over 3 and a half million children, do not provide reports for the recruitment and exploitation of children such as killers or drug dealers. The defenders of childrens' human rights are also alarmed by the abuse of approximately 400,000 young victim workers. In addition, domestic violence affects 1 million and 800 thousand children, and poverty makes them the main victims of organized crime that exploits them as carriers of weapons and extortionists. Honduras is home to 8 and a half million people and often there are cases of children who flee to the United States, undocumented, due to the poverty and the violence they suffer in the Latin American Country. It is one of the most violent countries in the world, where every day there are at least a dozen deaths. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 06/09/2013)

Dr. Joanne Wendt, PhD, Offers Five Key Insights to Help Parents Rebuild Family Togetherness Eroded by Technology
With social media, tablets, smart phones, video games and YouTube capturing the minds and attention of children, it is increasingly difficult for parents to bring them into the fold of family togetherness. San Diego clinical psychologist, Dr. Joanne Wendt, has recently released five essential recommendations to help parents refocus and rebuild togetherness in today's technology-reliant world.
San Diego, California (PRWEB) September 19, 2013
The instillation of family togetherness begins with the value systems of the child's/children's parents. Parents engaging in family-oriented activities such as family meals, picnics, birthdays, graduations, occasional Sunday dinners with their folks, family reunions all have been shown to promote the instillation of family togetherness in children.
Unfortunately these bonding activities aren't really happening much in homes/family relationships in the modern world today because of all these technological gadgets that tend to fascinate and occupy children's minds. For these reasons Dr . Joanne Wendt presents 5 tips for helping to preserve family togetherness in the midst of all of this.
1. Limit the amount of time children watch television and play video games, as they can become very addicting. The flicker of the screen stimulates the brain and acts as a positive reinforcer that keeps the brain wanting more stimulation. This may keep the television-watcher and video-game player mesmerized and "glued" to the screen and away from interacting with other family members.
2. Limit social media computer time because as children spend less and less time conversing face-to-face with family members, they are not learning the necessary social skills to be successful in life.
3. Do a family volunteer activity. It teaches children selflessness and empathy for others.
4. Do not allow televisions in children's bedrooms as it promotes social isolation.
5. Have a weekly family meeting to air concerns where all members get a voice without criticism and judgement. All family members need to show respect by listening to each other without interrupting and having negotiation and cooperation as a goal rather than control and obedience. To do otherwise tends to fosters rifts and emotional as well as physical distances among family members.
Dr. Wendt offers several parenting resources on her website to help parents raise happy, healthy children with an underlying theme of promoting family values and togetherness. Sometimes parents are at a loss when their children are being bombarded by so many more gadgets that they "must have" to fit in with their peers. Falling for this "must have" ideology contributes to the breakdown of family togetherness. The solution: let's get back to the basics and welcome back the idelogy of "Little House on the Prairie," which emphasized family love, respect and togetherness.

British & Irish Lions tour captain Sam Warburton credited the entirety of the touring party after watching his men claim the series with an emphatic 41-16 victory over Australia in Sydney.
The Wales star, who was injured for the third and final Test, also offered commiserations to the Wallabies after Alex Corbisiero, Jonny Sexton, George North and Jamie Roberts ran in tries to secure a comfortable win.
Warburton said afterwards: "Firstly, unlucky to the Australian boys. They made it very tough to us and it was an immense series so unlucky to them. To our boys, a massive well done. We worked so hard for this.
"To all the fans who spent thousands and thousands of pounds to come half way across the world to come and watch us play, a huge thankyou - it's made our tour.
"It's been a squad effort from all 40 of the boys and the management. They are so many people involved in this - not just the players."
Wales centre Roberts, who returned from injury to cross for a try, said: "We spoke before the game about keeping our heads and everyone knew the importance of today. The guys were really disciplined today in attack and defence. It was clinical rugby.
"Our contact area was fantastic and the scrum was very dominant. It's not just the players - it's the backroom staff and the 'Sea of Red' as we like to call it!"
Man of the series Leigh Halfpenny, who kicked 40 from 45 on tour, added: "The pack were outstanding today. Everyone has contributed to this today. It's what dreams are made of. I dreamed of this my whole life. It's a huge honour."

March 21, 2006
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- If there is a recent Virginia basketball team to which this year's group could be compared, it would be the 1998-99 bunch, with Pete Gillen in his first season as the head coach of the Cavaliers.
That team got to 14-12 before running out of gas and wound up 14-16, Gillen's only losing record in his first six seasons in Charlottesville.
This year, the Cavaliers got to 14-10 under first-year coach Dave Leitao, then lost five of their last six games to finish 15-15.
If there is a coaching regime to which the Cavaliers would not want Leitao's to be compared, it probably would be that of Gillen (most recently seen trying to get involved with the vacant Delaware job), but there could be worse models, at least in the early years.
In Gillen's second season, the Cavaliers went 19-12, barely missing the NCAA Tournament with a 9-7 ACC record. Until Florida State came along this year, that 2000 season qualified the Cavs as the only 9-7 ACC team ever to be excluded from a 64- or 65-team NCAA field. The 2000 UVa and 2006 FSU teams, by the way, had two common threads: lousy non-conference schedules, and 0-1 records at the ACC Tournament.
In Gillen's third season, Virginia also went 9-7 but made the NCAA Tournament with a team that lost to Gonzaga to finish 20-9. That UVa team might have gone some distance if it had gotten past talented guard Dan Dickau and the rest of the Zags.
The case could be made that Gillen's first year was even more impressive than Leitao's. The Cavaliers had gone 11-19 the previous year under Gillen's predecessor, Jeff Jones, and had lost their top two scorers, Curtis Staples and Norman Nolan.
Leitao took over a team that had gone 14-15, but he inherited the best prospect in the program, Sean Singletary, to go with a pair of perimeter threats in J.R. Reynolds and Gary Forbes. Forbes was one of the highest-rated recruits to sign with Gillen in his later years.
Indeed, many people think the Cavaliers could have made the NCAA Tournament this year if they had held onto Forbes, who was declared academically ineligible and eventually transferred to Massachusetts. But Leitao was less than enthralled with the work ethic he saw from Forbes last summer and was not devastated, although maybe he should have been, when Forbes left.
Gillen's first team was blown out by Duke in the first round of the ACC Tournament, 104-67, but the season-ending four-game losing streak included a 67-66 home loss to then-No. 14 North Carolina, followed by a 74-68 overtime loss at Georgia Tech in the regular-season finale.
This year, Virginia might have known that the schedule did not favor a late run, but the Cavaliers often were not competitive over the final month, with losses by 45 points at North Carolina, 26 at Clemson, and 19 to Stanford in the NIT. The Cardinal then lost at Missouri State.
The NIT was pretty much a fiasco this year, with the Cavaliers first learning of their pairing from an internet website. By the time Virginia was contacted by an NIT official, less than 48 hours remained before the scheduled tipoff, in Palo Alto, Calif.
Virginia was awarded a No. 8 seed. ACC colleague Miami, also one game over .500 after the conference tournament, was a No. 3 seed and got a first-round bye, as well as a home game. What made even less sense was why the NIT committee sent Delaware State to Northern Arizona and, in the same bracket, had Virginia going to Stanford.
It would have made more sense, from a cost standpoint, to pair Northern Arizona and Stanford and have the Cavaliers play Delaware State. Some Virginia fans, of course, pointed a finger at former North Carolina coach and long-time UVa antagonist Dean Smith, a member of the NIT committee.
Virginia's regular-season finale against Maryland was billed as "the Last Ball in U-Hall," but the Cavaliers had let it be known that they were willing and eager to serve as a host for an NIT game. Instead, UVa's increasingly irrelevant women's basketball team had that distinction in the women's NIT.
The Stanford game was a precursor to a two-year, home-and-home series with the Cardinal, beginning next year at UVa's new, 15,000-seat John Paul Jones Arena. Arizona and Gonzaga also will be coming to Charlottesville in 2006-07, after this year's UVa team became a sacrificial lamb by going to Arizona and Gonzaga.
Stanford will lose three seniors, two of whom, Matt Haryasz and Chris Hernandez, were first-team All-Pac-10 selections, but if the Cavaliers don't play any better than they did in Palo Alto, the 2006-07 season won't be anything special.
Outside of a gutty, 29-point performance against North Carolina in the ACC quarterfinals, Singletary did not have a good finish. He was 6-of-20 from the field at Stanford and closed the season at exactly 40 percent from the field, with 104 turnovers.
His backcourt partner, Reynolds, was Virginia's best player over the last month, although Singletary made first-team All-ACC (the first Cavalier since Bryant Stith in 2002) and Reynolds was tied for 15th among vote-getters, barely winding up on the third team.
Junior center Jason Cain may have been the Cavaliers' third-best player over the middle third of the season, but he was never the same after a Feb. 25 dust-up with assistant Steve Seymour at Clemson. Leitao played Cain for nine minutes and six minutes over a two-game stretch, and Cain was in a funk for the rest of the season.
The only reason Forbes' departure was revisited in some circles was the demise of the two players, sophomore Adrian Joseph and freshman Mamadi Diane, who filled the small forward spot for which many had targeted Forbes. Diane had a game when he was 0-for-11 (at North Carolina), and Joseph had a game when he was 0-for-8 (against the Tar Heels in the ACC Tournament). Diane was 1-for-9 against Stanford.
There are a variety of small forward-types in Virginia's six-member recruiting class, but one player who may have cemented his spot in the Cavaliers' plans is 6-8, 240-pound freshman Lauris Mikalauskas. A strong and aggressive center who plays with emotion and loves to battle at both ends of the court, he shot 56.8 percent from the field for the season and averaged 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds despite starting only 12 of 30 games.
Mikalauskas loves to lift weights and has weighed as much as 255 pounds, but he doesn't need strength as much as he needs to improve his athleticism. Virginia opponents blocked almost twice as many shots as the Cavaliers, and many of the blocks were at Mikalauskas' expense, despite his team-leading field goal percentage.
The best thing Mikalauskas can do is develop his left hand, which is strange to say because he is left-handed. However, all Mikalauskas does is shoot his free throws left-handed. When he takes a shot from the low-block area, invariably he shoots right-handed. When he starts using both hands equally, it will give him an advantage that not all post players enjoy.
Senior guard Billy Campbell was a nice player, and his two three-pointers against Maryland nearly made for a Cinderella story, but all eight of the Cavaliers' scholarship players this season were underclassmen. It's no coincidence that overachieving Virginia teams in 1998-99 and 2005-06 were both low on numbers.
If the Cavaliers are at the full complement of 13 scholarship players in 2006-07, as expected, it will be interesting to see what kind of chemistry they have. That will be a major factor in the drive to meet loftier expectations.

Katter still undecided on mining tax
PUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2011 14:44:43 | UPDATED: 22 Nov 2011 04:52:03PRINT EDITION: 22 Nov 2011
Federal independent MP Bob Katter will leave it until the last hour to decide whether he will support the minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) legislation.
The federal government has secured the support of key independents Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott and Andrew Wilkie, but the Australian Greens won't support any changes that lessen the revenues the tax will raise.
The independents have won a $200 million program to examine environmental concerns over coal seam gas mining and an increase in the tax threshold for small miners.
But Mr Katter on Monday told reporters in Brisbane he expected more changes would emerge, so his position could shift.
"We'll make up our mind right at the death," he said, referring to himself and his team.
"We've had to change our mind on a number of occasions."

It wasn't until the Republican National Committee officially rewrote the Republican Agenda that I made up my mind to vote against the Republican Party candidates including my own local list.
Through the years, I realized that the Conservative Party was working for a One World Empire on a religious war against Islam. This One World Plan came with the campaign (led by Karl Rove) to put the emphasize on building a Christian Nation that would end up involving America in many wars killing civilians in the Middle East all in the name of Jesus Christ. George W. Bush promised federal grants to the Christian Churches and for the first time those churches voted for Gov. Bush from Texas.
So yes, we will need a towel to wipe up the panic of losing the election or even worse, the panic of winning with all the demands of bringing the promises into the government. Changing the Constitution to fit into the New Testament might bring some action into the House and Senate. Will the Book of Mormon be added as a footnote?

3 laptop choices, need advice
by Battletoads - 7/6/13 6:21 AM
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I could use some help
I need a new laptop primarily for general school stuff, as well as downloading some movies and being able to watch 1080p videos smoothly.
I've got 3 choices, summarized here:
Lenovo B560 - $500
Windows7 (which I like), i3-350m @ 2.53 GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD
Lenovo V460 - $400
Windows7, i5-450m @ 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD
Dell Inspiring - on sale for $450, regular price $700
Windows8 (never tried, kinda apprehensive of using a new OS), i3-3217u @ 1.8 GHz, 6Gb RAM, 500GB HDD and 32GB SSD
My current laptop is a Gateway NV53, so anyone of these is an upgrade. Small HDD space and battery life will not affect my decision.
On paper, the inspiron seems like the best. Kinda concerned of its processor speed (1.8 GHz) as it is less than my current laptop. My gut is telling me to go with one of the lenovos, but I would like some advice before I do
Thanks in advance!

in the text. As for me, it doesn't have any use and just adds visual clutter. Luckily, this markdown processor is easily extensible, and with a couple lines of code you can make such links to render as example.com
. The corresponding Python code, which adds a postprocessing step:
import re from markdown import Markdown from markdown.postprocessors import Postprocessor class LinkPostprocessor(Postprocessor): def run(self, text): return re.sub(r'(]+>)https?://', r'\1', text) md = Markdown(...) md.postprocessors.add('links', LinkPostprocessor(md), '_end')
For a long time I didn't notice that addresses like www.plav.in returned 404 - Not Found, as I myself never use them. Recently I was told about this issue and fixed it - now you can use such addresses as well. Old domain name also works, like this: www.blog.aplavin.ru/fix-addresses-starting-with-www. All these URLs redirect to the "canonical" one, at plav.in
and without www
The related piece of my Nginx configuration, to make this post useful for more people :) is below:
server { server_name aplavin.ru; rewrite ^ http://plav.in$request_uri? permanent; } server { server_name ~^(?<subdomain>.+)\.aplavin\.ru$; rewrite ^ http://$subdomain.plav.in$request_uri? permanent; } server { server_name www.plav.in; rewrite ^ http://plav.in$request_uri? permanent; } server { server_name ~^www\.(?<subdomain>.+)\.plav\.in$; rewrite ^ http://$subdomain.plav.in$request_uri? permanent; }
In this post, and may be other such posts in the future, I will list important comments received in response to my sent patches, not to forget something. As for now, they are:
(js): get rid of all the ActiveXObject
IE-related magic
I've started implementing 'infinite scrolling' feature, and now it's already available in action for shortlog view at my running hgweb instance.
Some things I'm going to implement/extend in hgweb soon as part of the GSoC project:
Currently hgweb supports only simple keyword search and matching exact revisions by number or hash, and you can't control it: i.e. there is no ability to search for string '1234' in commit descriptions, if revision #1234 is in the repo, or to search for 'abc' if a changeset hash starts with 'abc' (and if there are multiple such changesets, you will just see an error).
My patches extend the search in several ways:
As usual, all the patches can be found at hg.aplavin.ru/hg_fork, and they are actually enabled there so you can see all the new features in action.
From now you can see all my commits to Mercurial (both accepted and not yet) grouped by repo they are currently in at cistats.aplavin.ru.
Another part of my summer project is improving hgweb search by adding revset syntax to it, which is extensively used in Mercurial CLI commands. According to the feedback at ML, I'm going to change the search behaviour to use revset syntax, if the query string can be parsed as a revset tree.
Another obligatory thing here is to deny usage of some heavy revset functions. The whitelist of them, used at BitBucket seems reasonable here too.
First part of my plan is improving source display and code cut&paste all over the hgweb, and it is going to be finished. The implementation strategy is accepted by the community, and I've patchbombed versions of several patches, which modify single file, diff and changeset views.
Mercurial has a nice highlight extension, which provides syntax highlighting for many languages at hgweb (example in Python).
While its output looks nice, there is quite an ugly hack in the implementation. The extension needs to intercept into the process of generating HTML page from templates, and it approaches this by defining an extra template filter called highlight
(nothing bad so far), and then replacing (as a string) line|escape
with line|highlight
in the template. And here is the problem: if you change line|escape
to e.g. line|process|escape
or even just to line | escape
– the highlighting will not work! Because of this it's not that easy to change some aspects of file source display, without losing compatibility with the extension.
Actually, the extension has another, less important issue: when the actual source line is just a space or multiple spaces, the highlight'ed version of it is just empty.
I've started implementing proposed features from the beginning and the first item is improving the way hgweb display file content. By this I mean allowing to select code without line numbers and with consistent indents, and highlighting the lines which were linked at (as the hash part of the URL). Actually, these things are already partly implemented, and I'm going to tidy up, organize them and patchbomb to Mercurial.
You can always see how the code performs at hg.aplavin.ru (it usually runs the version of code which is in the last patchbombed patch), and of course at the official Mercurial repo after corresponding patches are accepted into upstream.
As I'm selected for Google Summer of Code 2013 at Mercurial project, I'm going to publish short posts here related to my coding. Now there is community bonding period on the timeline, until the June 17.
My latest development (even what is not yet accepted to upstream) will hopefully be always available as a Mercurial repo hg.aplavin.ru/hg_fork. The whole hg.aplavin.ru is running the last code from this repository.


text: I've been working on Tripwire. The latest version is 220.127.116.11 (Dec 05) but it is still pretty crappy. It won't compile with GCC4. I created a patch and will use that. It still generates a huge number of warnings. The problem is that it won't install without what appears to be extraordinary efforts without an executable program that is named sendmail. The book says an MTA is optional, but that goes back to the original writeup for the book (o4/03/03). The options I see are: 1. Make an MTA required. 2. Change the install script to ignore the mail issue with a sed. 3. Make an empty sendmail executable: touch /usr/bin/sendmail; chmod +x /usr/bin/sendmail 4. Remove the Makefile execution of the initial setup and show the user how to do it manually instead of using the supplied script. I'm looking for opinions on the best way to go here. -- Bruce

I purchased a new S&W M&P 9mm but it did not come with a saftey. How hard is it to install one or is this a gun smith situation? My wife would prefer a saftey on the gun. Thanks!

Yeah I think it may be cheaper to buy a new one with a thumb safety.

It would be cheaper and easier to just get one with a safety. Personally, I don't see why you absolutely NEED one on a DAO. They can't fire unless you pull the trigger.
Don't question my right to own a gun and I won't question your stupidity not to. You give Peace a chance, we will cover you if it doesn't work out.
Mine doesnt have a safety either. I hsve to carry it with empty chamber.
I ordered mine with the safety because that's how I prefer to carry. If Glock offered an external safety as an option, I would sell the M&P in a heartbeat.
You can do it, all it entails is getting a new sear block housing, the thumb lever, the detent, and spring then cut the notches into the frame for the lever. Not as difficult as it sounds but it is kinda hard to find the parts. You will almost have to find someone who took the safety off of theirs and wants to get rid of it.
If it bugs her you bought the wrong gun. Some handguns with safeties all excellent guns: beretta 92series, 1911, fnx, cz75, browning hipower, taurus 92 series, hk usp series, czsp series just to name a few amongst many others. Having a gun your scared of to carry for whatever reason leads to leaving it at home. Leaving it at home violates the cardinal rule of self defense: have a gun. If you bought it and took it home and said "here honey i got you a gun" you did her a disservice. Always let her pick her gun. She may surprise you. To date my wife chose as her shotgun of record a srm 1216, she picked out a xdm 9mm and a beretta m9a1

Samsung's flexible Amoled mobile phone prototype. Photo: Samsung
When I interviewed Japanese computer scientist and textile designer Akira Wakita in 2007, he said: "We are surrounded by hard materials. Perhaps walls could become soft. I would like to make a space that is completely composed of soft and elastic materials."The same year, NEC polymer scientist Masatoshi Iji showed me prototypes of soft electronic devices—anatomically-friendly timepieces housed in smart, shape-memory biopolymers that gracefully wrap one's forearm like fabric.Since then, Wakita's and Iji's visions have been edging towards reality, with the imminent release of digital interfaces and mobile electronic devices designed to be supple rather than rigid. Samsung's next mobile phone, for example, will be made of flexible OLED, a resilient light-emitting film that can purportedly be dropped or folded without any risk of cracking. Kyocera has a similar phone in the works which will be powered by kinetic energy. A later arrival will be flexible e-newspapers that use electronic ink, such as one currently under development by LG.
It's difficult to say whether such pliant interfaces will be truly disruptive technologies or fads. After all, there is something to be said for the precision and reliability of a flat, rigid interface. The reality may be something in between: technologies that combine adaptability and sturdiness, much like skin and bone.
Although the commercial release of Samsung's new Galaxy Skin has been predicted for 2012, this may be a premature forecast. Nevertheless, the coming "soft tech" will likely make a big splash in the mobile electronics market. Perhaps Wakita's dream of soft architectural walls that are digital interfaces will soon follow.

Expanded Recommendations on the Use of Feeding Tubes in Patients with Advanced Dementia
July 17th, 2014
Today the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) released an updated position statement on the use of feeding tubes in patients with advanced dementia. The statement was last updated by the AGS Ethics Committee and approved by the AGS Clinical Practice & Models of Care Committee in May 2013. The publication of several sentinel studies in recent years further details the natural history of eating difficulties, as well as burdens associated with tube feeding use in persons with advanced dementia, and have been added to the guideline.
The updated statement on the use of feeding tubes is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) and available on GeriatricsCareOnline.org, and includes an extended rationale behind the 2013 recommendations, which reinforce careful hand feeding in place of using a tube feeding. Tube feeding is associated with agitation, increased use of physical and chemical restraints, and the development of pressure ulcers. Efforts to enhance oral feeding by altering the environment and creating patient-centered approaches to feeding should be part of usual care for older adults with advanced dementia.
"People living with with advanced dementia often experience eating difficulties, in conjunction with profound loss of cognitive, verbal, and functional abilities due to the progressive neurodegenerative process," said Joseph Shega, MD, chair of the AGS Ethics Committee. "Eating difficulties are considered a natural part of the disease process, and when persistent, characterize the end stage of dementia."
Caroline Vitale, MD, vice chair of the Ethics Committee added, "Patients with advanced dementia are dependent on others for all aspects of their care, and must rely on others to make decisions about the types of care they receive. Once persistent eating difficulties arise, family caregivers are often confronted with difficult decisions that typically include whether to continue hand feeding or initiate tube feeding."
- Feeding tubes are not recommended for older adults with advanced dementia. Careful hand feeding should be offered; for persons with advanced dementia, hand feeding is at least as good as tube feeding for the outcomes of death, aspiration pneumonia, functional status and patient comfort.
- Efforts to enhance oral feeding by altering the environment and creating patient-centered approaches to feeding should be part of usual care for older adults with advanced dementia.
- Tube feeding is a medical therapy that can be declined or accepted by a patient's surrogate decision maker in accordance with advance directives, previously stated wishes, or what it is thought the patient would want.
- It is the responsibility of all members of the health care team caring for residents in long-term care settings to understand any previously expressed wishes of the patient (through review of advance directives and with surrogate caregivers) regarding tube feeding and incorporate these wishes into the care plan.
- Hospitals, nursing homes and other care settings should promote choice, endorse shared and informed decision-making, and honor patient preferences regarding tube feeding. They should not impose obligations or exert pressure on patients or providers to institute tube feeding.
About the American Geriatrics Society
Founded in 1942, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) is a non-profit organization of over 6,200 healthcare professionals whose shared mission is to improve the health, independence and quality of life of older people. Our vision for the future is that all older adults will have access to quality healthcare that meets their unique needs. To achieve this, the AGS focuses on: educating all healthcare professionals about the special healthcare needs of older adults; advancing aging research; enhancing clinical care for older people; raising public awareness of seniors' healthcare needs; and advocating for public policy that ensures older adults have access to high quality, appropriate, cost-effective care. The AGS is a pivotal force in shaping practices, policies and perspectives in the field of older adult health and wellness.

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: With bland protagonists and power figures unpleasant enough for us to want them out of our sight more than we want them defeated, it doesn't do much to hold our interest.
- Brian Webster, Apollo Guide, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Rotten: There are moments here that are spectacular, and there are many more that are spectacular failures.
- David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Rotten: As if the gruff dialogue isnt bad enough, the action scenes are merely adequate.
- Gary Brown, Houston Community Newspapers, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Audience Reviews
Vin Diesel not only dishes out maximum hulkage, he does so in the name of saving the world. He alone carries the burden of protecting the fragile and going up against assassins, bullets, rockets, planes, etc. Nothing can stop the the man with shaved gorilla strength. At face value, sure, it's no masterpiece. However, this movie is really fun and I think it's well worth your time. I loved the small touches, like Vin Diesel ripping apart a bunny rabbit and sauteing it with onions. I also appreciated the cage match fight in the middle of the movie designed to show that Vin Diesel can destroy a man twice his size.

In games-that-I-never-got news, everyone else in the whole world will be delighted to learn that both Little Big Adventures have been secured by Good Old Games. The French adventure platform things have always been adored, but I remember bouncing right off them on repeated attempts to join the cheerful crowds. Perhaps I'll give them yet another go, now they're all set up to play on modern machines. GOG have the first game up now, for a very steep $6 (I really think it's time GOG considered bringing in a lower price point for games this old, bearing in mind they've been resold on budget labels at much lower prices for years). The sequel, they say, is coming soon.

text: Does your home or business have a video surveillance system? If so, the NOPD wants you to sign up for their new program. Officials today are announcing "SafeCamNOLA," something they hope will be a useful new tool for crimefighting. Developed with the help of the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation, SafeCamNOLA allows home and business owners with surveillance systems to register them with police, in turn giving the department what they call "a centralized tool to track the location and contact information of registered cameras throughout the city." Darlene Cusanza of Crimestoppers says this could be very helpful in investigations. "The use of private surveillance has been a great tool," she said. "I think it could be very useful in the future." Cusanza says Crimestoppers has helped police get a hold of video that can either break a case wide open, or make a good case even stronger. "It actually can help either start a case," she explained, "or...build and corroborate the information that law enforcement already has." The NOPD and Justice Foundation say SafeCamNOLA will "expedite investigations and empower residents to partner with NOPD in the fight for a safer city." Details on how surveillance system owners will be able to register are coming later today.

Lots of couples commemorate their marriage proposal with fancy photos or videos to cherish the special moment.
However, when Chris Jimenez popped the question to his girlfriend of three years, Cristina Silva, after they completed the Never Land Family Fun Run 5K on Jan. 19 at Disneyland, he never expected his proposal to be overshadowed by an accidental photobomber in the background.
The woman, who appears to be a fellow run participant, was totally caught off guard in the background of the newly engaged couple's photo, which resulted in her hilarious facial expression being caught on camera.
"We both just loved her reaction," Silva told ABCNews.com
Jimenez and Silva had no idea the photo, which has now gone wildly viral, would garner so much attention.
"We saw it and he [Chris] posted it on his Facebook and, of course, all his friends started liking it," Silva said. "Little by little, we started seeing it other places. I never thought it would get this big. I was just focused on me that day. We really didn't think it would get this big. But it is a cute picture. We love it."
Silva said she was too caught up in the moment to even notice the woman in the background at the time.
"I was excited, shaking in tears, just crying. Right at the finish line, Chris got down one knee and that's when he popped the question. He had an inhaler with him because he has asthma, and he had it in his inhaler. He took out the inhaler and had the ring in his hand," said Silva.
As of now, the couple has no concrete wedding plans, but has been joking that they'd like to use the photobombed picture on their "Save the Dates" notice to their guests.

Farnham Heath is part of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an example of heathland restoration in progress.By clearing the dense rows of conifers, we are opening up the land to create bright sunny areas where wildlife can flourish. This is also improving the views across the Weald so you can take in the wider landscape. You'll already notice the results, with purple heather and yellow flowering gorse emerging, and rare heathland wildlife returning.Grayling butterflies flutter on the breeze, the sounds of woodlarks and nightjars echo across the clearings and sand lizards bask in the sun. The reserve also has wooded areas with wonderful displays of bluebells in spring and an amazing variety of fungi in the autumn.There are three nature trails of differing lengths which will help you explore the heath and discover all that it has to offer.
The reserve is open at all times. The reserve is next door to the Rural Life Centre, and visitors are welcome to use their car park, toilets and tea room. The Centre is open Wed–Fri and Sundays all year. It is also open on Saturdays from April to September. The car park opens at 9.30 am on weekdays and 10.30 am on weekends; the tea room opens at 11 am. There are parking lay-bys on adjacent roads outside those hours.
Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome.
A limited programme of 8-9 events each year at present, including bug hunts and other family activities.
Dogs and their owners are welcome but we ask that you keep to the footpaths and bridleways so as not to disturb the fragile heathland.
Note: Some reserves are not served directly by public transport and, in these cases, a nearby destination (from which you may need to walk or take a taxi or ferry) may be offered.
