Rivals.com Football Recruiting
Los Angeles is home to arguably the top high school football talent in the nation.
The class of 2008 in Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Orange County and the Inland Empire are as strong as ever. The region features 10 players who were on the recently released pre-evaluation period Rivals100.
After this past weekend's NIKE Training Camp in Los Angeles and the earlier Rivals.com Junior Day at Anaheim Servite, a core of recruits from Los Angeles has emerged. A few players that didn't make the most recent Rivals100 list tried to show they belong among the nation's best.
At the head of the class is Darrell Scott of Ventura (Calif.) St. Bonaventure. The 6-foot, 215-pound running back is franchise player that has everything you want from a future NFL running back.
Scott is equally strong running inside or bouncing it to the outside and running away from defenders. Defenders tend to bounce off of him, but it's his elite speed that makes Scott a franchise back.
He has been clocked as fast as 10.6 in the 100 meters, and when watching him on film he looks like he's at full speed within just a few yards. Scott is a physical player who does not shy away from contact and really finishes his runs well.
"Darrell is a physical player who does not shy away from contact and really finishes his runs well," Rivals.com Western region recruiting analyst Rick Kimbrel said.
"He also played last year at Moorpark against one of the top schedules in the state, so he did all of his damage against the top competition in California. It's going to be truly exciting to see what he will do now that he's at St. Bonaventure. But without a doubt he's one of the best backs that I've seen in my years of covering high school football in California."
As a sophomore at Moorpark, he had 1,988 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns. As a junior, he ran for 3,194 yards and 45 scores. He has offers from national programs like California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Texas A&M and UCLA.
"He's going to be one of the most interesting guys to follow this recruiting season," Rivals.com Western region recruiting analyst Greg Biggins said. "I think he's one of the guys that could end up about anywhere."
Below is an early look at the top 10 prospects in Los Angeles (listed in alphabetical order) for this year's class and a breakdown of several other Division I prospects in the area.
Recruiting update: Many people expect Ayles to join Corp and Reardon at USC, but he's not rushing the recruiting process. He has offers from Arizona State, Cal, Florida, Miami, Nebraska, Notre Dame, USC, UCLA, Wisconsin, Boston College and many more.
Recruiting update: Bateman is apparently heading to UCLA, but is a soft commitment. He is working on reaching his qualifying test score. Colorado and Arizona State have also offered, but he's without question the Bruins' to lose.
Recruiting update: Crist is down to a final five - with USC and Notre Dame leading the way over Michigan, Stanford and LSU. He is expected to have a decision within the next week. "Staying local or leaving home won't be a factor for me," he said. "At first I thought it would be, but after taking these trips I'm very comfortable with all the schools. If I feel the school is the best fit for me, I'll go anywhere."
Recruiting update: An early commitment to the Trojans, he also had offers from Arizona, Colorado, Miami and Nebraska. He would easily have more offers if he were still on the market.
Recruiting update: Moore has committed to UCLA, but other schools have continued to recruit him. Auburn, Washington, Washington State, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon and USC are interested. Despite other schools chasing him, the odds are slim that he'll end up anywhere but UCLA.
Recruiting update: Scott says he's open to many teams, and has a national offer list. He lists Cal, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Texas A&M and UCLA as his favorites. He's not as tied to the West Coast as some of the other L.A. kids.
Recruiting update: Shoemate ended the recruiting process early. USC offered him a scholarship as a sophomore. He quickly jumped on the offer and hasn't looked around at all since.
Recruiting update: It looks like a two-team race between UCLA and USC. He said he's going to look hard at the program that would help him win a national championship. "The deciding factor for me is going to be simple - what school gives me the best chance to win a ring," he said.
Recruiting update: Tuioti-Mariner has offers from Ole Miss, BYU, Oregon, Oregon State, Colorado, Hawaii and Arizona. "I really don't have a favorite, but if I had to list five right now they would be Cal, Washington, BYU, USC and Hawaii," Tuioti-Mariner said. "I'm going to take my trips before making a decision. I'm not in any hurry."
Recruiting update: Woods made an early commitment to UCLA on March 11, and he had a powder blue Bruin T-shirt at the NIKE Camp. He was already holding early offers from Colorado, Ole Miss, Oregon and Penn State. He was also receiving attention from Washington, Ohio State, USC and Texas. He definitely would have had more offers had he not made an early pledge.

text: AC stands for alternating current, which is an electrical current that frequently reverses direction. AC electricity is measured according to its cycles, with one complete cycle being counted each time a given current travels in one direction and then doubles back on itself. An electrical current is able to complete many cycles per second, and is then given its frequency rating based on that number; for example, the typical frequency in North America is 60 hertz (Hz), which indicates that the current is performing 60 cycles per second. AC power is the type of electricity most commonly used in homes and offices, and is extremely versatile because its voltage can be changed through a transformer to suit a variety of transmission needs.

Gang Rancher
this wiki
|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
Grammar errors
The Gang Rancher is an SUV and gang car exclusive in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is the gang car of the Sharks, replacing the Gang Burrito in GTA Vice City.
The Gang Rancher is a modified variant of the Rancher but with four doors and a wider wheelbase. It serves as a gang car driven by the Sharks, and as such, are commonly parked in empire sites owned by the Sharks. The vehicle's front end, rim set, hood, and rear are different from the original Rancher and it also supports the gang's colors; which are red, white, and black.
The Gang Rancher's performance is considerably better than that of a standard Rancher. Its acceleration is delayed, but can reach a decent top speed along a straight. Braking and steering are also robust, considering the size of the vehicle itself. Though it has 4-wheel-drive the bulkiness and weak engine of the SUV cause so-so off-road capabilities.
Whenever the player attacks an empire site belonging to the Sharks, a death squad is sent after the player and they will drive-by and follow the player.
It apparently shares the same polygon model as the FBI Rancher, a vehicle which appeared in GTA VC but is only available with mods or cheat devices in GTA VCS. The FBI Rancher possesses much better performance, however.
- The Gang Rancher is often seen driving around Prawn Island & Vice Point even when all the businesses are acquired.
- The default radio station for the Gang Rancher is Wave 103 or Flash FM.
- All of the Gang Ranchers parked outside a Shark business site are locked, even if you recruit a gang member and try to go in it'll still be locked, however it's possible for the gang member to enter the vehicle.
- Internally, the Gang Rancher is named "gangbur", suggesting that it is a replacement for the Gang Burrito.
- The Gang Rancher is very comparable to the Cartel Cruiser, another gang SUV in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says the city has logged its 500th homicide of the year.
McCarthy issued a statement Friday calling the milestone a "tragic number that is reflective of the gang violence and proliferation of illegal guns that have plagued some of our neighborhoods."
The police department went back and forth Friday, first verifying the 500th killing, then backing off and saying an earlier death was still being investigated.
By late Friday, police confirmed 40-year-old Nathaniel Jackson had become the 500th homicide victim when he was fatally shot in the head outside a convenience store on the city's West Side.
The last time Chicago reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. City records show Chicago had 435 homicides last year.

Is FCCA a badge of honour and integrity or just longevity?
As a non accountant I had assumed that somebody who had reached the status of a 'Fellow' was at the top of the tree in terms of honesty and integrity. I have been told recently that it is awarded to anybody who has practised for a certain number of years.
I do notice that many accountants display FCCA on their business cards and other print so it obviously something they are very proud of. What does it really mean?
It means ....
... you have been a qualified member for 5 years and comes automatically in the post (if memory serves right, it was a while ago!).
I use it because that is what I have to use to denote I am ACCA qualified, it is that or nothing. A ICAEW member would use FCA, but I think they may have to wait longer.
Despite many qualified by exam/qualified by experience debates on here, if you do not have a personal recommendation and are green on tax and accounting matters, you are safer looking for FCCA/FCA after a name if you need an accountant as you know they have got at least 5 years post qualifying experience.
I am an FMAAT, athough I could not achieve the status of Fellow Member until I had 5 years post qualification experience I was still required to apply for the status and prove competence in my proffesional knowledge and prove that I was working in a management capacity, I also have to complete extra CPD to keep hold of it. Its not a badge for life..
ccassociates ...
... ditto the CPD etc, hence my remarks about looking for a qualified if you haven't got a recommendation, no guarantee they will be any good, but reduces the risk because required to do CPD and have monitoring visits for audit licence holders such as poor fool I, plus the PI issue!
Maybe - Maybe not
Honour & integrity are human values and not conveyed by qualifying as an accountant or anything else. So I'm afraid that letters after your name don't guarantee honour & integrity. The F bit though does indicated longevity in that it comes in the post after X years.
Having said all that, if you can stick it out preparing accounts and tax returns for the X years and nobody's turned you in then chances are you're OK!
Stay young
I considered applying to be an FCA, after ten years as an ACA, but couldn't see any benefit. I don't think most people know the difference between one type of accountant and another
The benefit is in not claiming the "F", people think you are younger!
Unfortunately with ACCA you get sent it automatically.
Is it too late.....
to tell the ACCA to take the F off, ie can I send it back?
I finally got around to applying for my FCA although I was rather late. It was minimum 10 years relevant post qualification experience with up to date CPD (continuous professional development).
I applied because I was setting up my own practice and thought it would make me look older and not a newbie ACA (in case anyone knew the difference). Although I had far more than 10 years post qual experience it wasn't worth the hassle before.
Like the others I'd suggest going with personal recommendation first then FCA/FCCA as more experienced than ACA/ACCA (who still need to do CPD every year to use the letters).

Federico García Lorca is one of the most important Spanish poets and dramatists of the twentieth century. García Lorca was born June 5, 1898, in Fuente Vaqueros, a small town a few miles from Granada. His father owned a farm in the fertile vega surrounding Granada and a comfortable mansion in the heart of the city. His mother, whom Lorca idolized, was a gifted pianist. After graduating from secondary school García Lorca attended Sacred Heart University where he took up law along with regular coursework. His first book, Impresiones y Viajes (1919) was inspired by a trip to Castile with his art class in 1917.
In 1919, García Lorca traveled to Madrid, where he remained for the next fifteen years. Giving up university, he devoted himself entirely to his art. He organized theatrical performances, read his poems in public, and collected old folksongs. During this period García Lorca wrote El Maleficio de la mariposa (1920), a play which caused a great scandal when it was produced. He also wrote Libro de poemas (1921), a compilation of poems based on Spanish folklore. Much of García Lorca's work was infused with popular themes such as Flamenco and Gypsy culture. In 1922, García Lorca organized the first "Cante Jondo" festival in which Spain's most famous "deep song" singers and guitarists participated. The deep song form permeated his poems of the early 1920s. During this period, García Lorca became part of a group of artists known as Generación del 27, which included Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel, who exposed the young poet to surrealism. In 1928, his book of verse, Romancero Gitano ("The Gypsy Ballads"), brought García Lorca far-reaching fame; it was reprinted seven times during his lifetime.
In 1929, García Lorca moved to New York City. The poet's favorite neighborhood was Harlem; he loved African-American spirituals, which reminded him of Spain's "deep songs." In 1930, García Lorca returned to Spain after the proclamation of the Spanish republic and participated in the Second Ordinary Congress of the Federal Union of Hispanic Students in November of 1931. The congress decided to build a "Barraca" in central Madrid in which to produce important plays for the public. "La Barraca," the traveling theater company that resulted, toured many Spanish towns, villages, and cities performing Spanish classics on public squares. Some of García Lorca's own plays, including his three great tragedies Bodas de sangre (1933), Yerma (1934), and La Casa de Bernarda Alba (1936), were also produced by the company.
In 1936, García Lorca was staying at Callejones de García, his country home, at the outbreak of the Civil War. He was arrested by Franquist soldiers, and on August 19, after a few days in jail, soldiers took García Lorca to "visit" his brother-in-law, Manuel Fernandez Montesinos, the Socialist ex-mayor of Granada whom the soldiers had murdered and dragged through the streets. When they arrived at the cemetery, the soldiers forced García Lorca from the car. They struck him with the butts of their rifles and riddled his body with bullets. His books were burned in Granada's Plaza del Carmen and were soon banned from Franco's Spain. To this day, no one knows where the body of Federico García Lorca rests.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner has offered to push any fight over the federal debt limit off for a year, a concession that would deprive Republicans of leverage in the budget battle but is breathing life into stalled talks over the year-end "fiscal cliff."
The offer came Friday, according to people in both parties familiar with the talks, as part of the latest effort by Boehner, R-Ohio, to strike a deal with President Barack Obama to replace more than $500 billion in painful deficit-reduction measures set to take effect in January.
With the national debt already bumping up against a $16.4 trillion cap set last year, Congress risks a government default unless it acts to raise the debt ceiling in the next few months. Some Republicans had argued that party leaders should use the threat of default to demand additional spending cuts from Obama.
Boehner's offer signals that he expects a big deal with sufficient savings to meet his demand that any debt limit increase be paired dollar-for-dollar with spending cuts.
"Our position has not changed," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel on Sunday. "Any debt limit increase would require cuts and reforms of a greater amount."
Boehner's offer also includes a proposal to raise tax rates for millionaires, generating as much as $460 billion over the next decade — about half what Obama has demanded from the wealthy, according to official estimates.
The White House rejected the offer, saying it would raise too little cash to dent record budget deficits, according to a Democrat familiar with the talks. But the tax offer was viewed as a breakthrough, the Democrat said.

Project Description
Full Project Title:
Global Programme to demonstrate the viability and removal of barriers that impede adoption and successful implementation of available, non-combustion technologies for destroying POPs
Project number:
Starting date:
September 2007
4 years
Total Project Budget:
Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB)
Project Description:
In May 2004, the GEF Council approved the Project Brief for the Republic of the Philippines. The objective of the Global Programme, in line with the strategic priorities of the GEF Business Plan FY04-06, is to demonstrate the viability and removal of barriers that impede adoption and successful implementation of available non-combustion technologies for use in the destruction of obsolete Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) stockpiles and wastes, more specifically PCBs wastes in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. This specific Project in the Philippines, part of the Global Programme, will introduce and apply such a technology to destroy significant obsolete PCBs wastes and will help remove barriers to the further adoption and effective implementation of a selected non-combustion technology and meet the Stockholm Convention requirements to ensure the use of best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP). The National Implementation Plan (NIP) of the Stockholm Convention in the Philippines favours the application of non-combustion technologies to destroy POPs. The Project will make available all technical, economic and financial parameters of the selected technology in a comparative, open and transparent way that would facilitate and provide further incentive to the global diffusion of innovative alternative non-combustion technologies.
The Project will last four years (48 months). The first twenty-four months will be committed to parallel activities of tendering process, obtaining necessary operating permits, including conducting necessary environmental impact assessment, designing, constructing and testing of the selected non-combustion technology to be deployed, and generally planning and organizing, among other things, such activities as a comprehensive public participation and involvement programme, and a comprehensive, participatory monitoring and evaluation programme.
The second twenty-four months of Project time will cover the demonstration phase that is the destruction of 1,500 tonnes of PCB containing equipment and wastes as the first part of the 6,879 tonnes actually identified during the initial inventory process. Also included during this twenty-four months operational phase would be the continued implementation of the broadly based public participation and involvement programme, and the monitoring and evaluation programme.

MORRISON, Ill. (AP) - An Illinois man accused of killing eight people from two states in 2008 has received another life sentence.
Nicholas Sheley was sentenced Wednesday in the death of 93-year-old Russell Reed. Jurors convicted Sheley in November. A judge also sentenced Sheley to 30 years for home invasion and 15 years for residential burglary.
Sheley declined to give a statement in court. The (Sterling) Daily Gazette reports that the judge also denied a request from Sheley's defense attorney for a new trial in Reed's killing.
He already was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 65-year-old Ronald Randall of Galesburg. He faces a tentative June trial for the deaths of four people found in a Rock Falls apartment.
Sheley also is charged with killing an Arkansas couple in Missouri.

While the Hatteras-Ocracoke Ferry was suspended in mid-January for severe shoaling, now the Coast Guard is helping the state dig their way out of a transportation problem.
On Tuesday, the Coast Guard started putting up temporary navigation aids for a substitute route for the ferry.
The Coast Guard said they will place 14 navigational aids, marking a temporary channel until the regular route is dredged and navigable.
The original route work is scheduled to be finished by March 31st.

Cyclone Basketball needs this win BIG TIME! If we are going back to the Tourney, we have to win games like this. I'm heading over with 5 other Clones and hoping to see lots of Red in the stands all over!
If you are on the fence about going, pile in a car and head over. Not very many chances to see road games this close. CFH needs all the support we can get, plus, I think both programs are at a cross roads. Both are improving, but we need to win to prove we are the dominant program in the state. If Fred can keep winning, we'll start getting the top kid from Ia (unless Roy boy plucks them). If we can somehow win this year and next, the tide will shift our way.
Come on people, lets invade Carver!!!!!

Maybe OP going for women's game and camping in arena?
The women play tonight men tomorrow.
No no, head over tonight. Lots of guys grew out there hair and had implants. Don't be embarrassed if you are pleasantly surprised.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.
When is the game?

Emissions from Buildings
Commercial and residential energy use (A) in the United States and (B) China. After Levine et al. 2007.
Buildings, if one includes the greenhouse gases produced from off-site generation of electricity and heat, are the source of nearly one-quarter of the worldwide total from human activities. [1] Heating and cooling, water heating, and lighting consume most of the energy in commercial and residential buildings.
Space Heating and Cooling
Key to energy conservation in buildings is minimizing unwanted exchanges of thermal energy between the interior and the environment, either by conduction, by convection , or by radiation. The extent of these energy transfers depends on air and moisture leaks, insulation levels, thermal properties of windows and doors, and HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) equipment.
Thermal Leakage
The outer shell of a building serves as a barrier to impede thermal exchange between the building and its surroundings. Air leaks driven by winds, by pressure differentials from mechanical ventilation systems, and by temperature differentials continually challenge this thermal barrier. Moisture leaks degrade the performance of insulation as well as influence humidity in a building and affect comfort levels. Infrared images, which visualize temperature gradients, are helpful in pinpointing thermal leaks from buildings.
Infrared image (left) of a house (right) that indicates the locations of thermal leaks. Image taken with an infrared camera.
Adequate levels of insulation not only conserve energy, but also permit buildings to downsize their heating and cooling equipment. Building insulation comes in many forms. The primary requirements of an insulating material are that it has low thermal conductance and fills space to minimize convective transfers via air movements. Some insulation is covered with shiny foil to decrease radiative transfers, and others contain moisture barriers to minimize leaks. Certain types of insulation (e.g., polyurethane) have desirable thermal properties, yet their manufacture may require an inordinate amount of energy for materials and processing. Installing insulation during the initial construction of a building is less expensive than retrofitting an existing building. In some cases, a building has access spaces that will accommodate additional insulation, or an insulating layer may be applied internally or externally. In other cases, foam may be injected into air cavities. Unfortunately, many of these foams release greenhouse gases such as CO2 and halocarbons (CFCs or HCFCs).
Windows and Doors
Buildings usually exchange a disproportionate amount of thermal energy, 10% to 40%, through windows and doors (International Energy Agency 2006a).
Window upgrades include:
1. Replacing solid aluminum window frames with either aluminum frames having thermal barriers or frames made of wood, vinyl, wood-plastic composites, or fiberglass;
2. Increasing the number of panes of glass (e.g., replacing single-pane glass with double-pane glass);
3. Increasing the air space between panes of glass;
4. Using glass that has reflective coatings or films between the panes that block the entry of ultraviolet light and the exit of infrared light; or
5. Filling the space between panes with argon or krypton, gases that have less thermal conductivity than air.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, once a rarity in developing countries, is now widespread and will more than double the building energy usage in these countries during the next few decades. [2]
• The average furnace for residential heating in the United States has increased in efficiency (thermal energy divided by chemical energy in fuel) from 73% in 1975 to 85% in 2006 (HVACWebsite.com 2008).
• Mechanical ventilation systems that exploit premium electric motors and electronic adjustable speed drives reduce building energy requirements by 10% to 15% (International Energy Agency 2006a).
• New buildings are again taking advantage of natural ventilation through courtyards, atria, wind towers, solar chimneys, and windows that actually open; for example, appropriate ventilation of houses in California could cut their energy use by 16% to 53%. [3]
• Air conditioners in the United States have improved in efficiency (cooling power divided by fan and compressor power) from 1.8 to 2.8 over the past 30 years (HVACWebsite.com 2008).
• Heat pumps expend electrical energy to transfer thermal energy between a building and its surroundings and thus can heat or cool a building. Soil temperatures below about 10 m in depth approach the average temperature of a location.
• If the annual average temperature of a location is 20°C, then thermal exchange with deeper soils can heat a building in winter and cool it in winter. This reversibility makes heat pumps less efficient than dedicated air conditioners or heaters, however. • "Thermostat wars" rage daily in houses and office buildings all over the world. Peace in our time may be achievable through flexible control systems that monitor and independently adjust temperatures in multiple locations. Manufacturers of such control systems claim energy savings of 35% to 40%.

With a utility knife, electric drill, and handsaw included in the list of needed tools, there are recurring reminders to ask an adult for help. Other more-than-appropriate suggestions deal with safety concerns--securing the area before letting the helicopter launcher fly (Car), making sure the old-fashioned tree swing is far enough away from the tree trunk (Mini Golf), etc. Though there is not a discernible progression for the projects' difficulty, there is a sense that the best has been saved for last. Some of these showstoppers are a pop gun (which the writer assures is a toy and not dangerous), a water blaster rocket, and an igloo, all of which require some tool savvy and a meticulous nature.

10 Kids, 1 Affair: The Ultimate Divide?
August 15, 2013
Whitney, the oldest of 10 children, says her once-perfect family has been at war since her father, Scott, left her mother, Melinda, for a 19-year-old woman five years ago. The exes come face to face for the first time in five years on Dr. Phil's stage. Can this feuding family come to a truce?
More than 16 million kids in the United States are at risk for hunger each day. Fortunately, you can help. Visit Feeding America to find your local food bank. And, help Dr. Phil raise enough money for 10 million meals. Donate today!
A Family DividedTwenty-seven-year-old Whitney, the oldest of 10 children, says she had the perfect family growing up — but everything changed five years ago, when her father, Scott, left her mother, Melinda, for his current wife, Ashley, who was 19 at the time. Since then, she says her family has been at war: Her parents have been fighting dirty, her siblings have chosen sides, and Scott hasn't seen his six youngest children, ages 6 to 18, in at least four years. "My sister, Lindy, chose to live with my dad and Ashley. Everyone is mad at her," she explains. "My brother, Kyle, is in the military, and he stays out of this [drama]." She says her 18-year-old sister, Shelby, is among the six youngest children who live with Melinda.
Shelby says when she was younger, she really looked up to her father. Now, she says she can't even call him Dad. "He does not deserve the title of a dad," she says.
"I'm frustrated, because I'm stuck in the middle," Whitney says. "I'm the only one who talks to both sides." She says she's angry with her father. "All of us feel like we've been just thrown away, we don't matter anymore."
When asked by Dr. Phil what she'd like to see happen, Whitney responds, "The family being united again, people being civil to one another — not this constant battle where my siblings don't talk. It's just arguing 24/7."
Siblings at OddsLindy, 20, who lives with Scott and Ashley, supports her father and says he's happier than she's ever seen him. She admits that she hasn't seen her mom since November 2008. "My mom, when she's mad at me, calls me a traitor to my siblings," she claims.
Chase, 23, says his mom's "heart had to have been ripped in half" when she and Scott divorced. He says he wants to see his mom move forward with her life — and he has no desire to have a relationship with his father. "Scott is not my father," he says.
Chase and Lindy do not have a relationship and have not seen each other since their parents' split.
Chase and Lindy face each other for the first time in nearly five years. Can they reach a common ground?
"Do you feel like, in terms of this family dynamic currently, that you contribute to or contaminate this situation?"
Ashley and ScottAshley and Scott deny Melinda's claim that they had an affair while Scott was married. "When Scott and I first met, we were just co-workers," Ashley says. "We didn't actually have a relationship until he had moved out of their house." She says that Melinda pushed her and Scott together "with all of her nastiness and ugliness."
Ashley claims that Melinda has been harassing her from the beginning with mean emails, phone calls and text messages. "Melinda is doing everything she can to keep Scott from seeing his kids," she says, adding that Scott has tried to fight for his children, to no avail. "I'd be happy if Scott had a relationship with his kids. They don't need to like me, they don't need to love me.
"I wouldn't say that I hate Melinda, but I do deeply despise her," she concludes.

We have lately witnessed a swelling wave of vandalism and other forms of hooliganism and crime at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam during Mainland premier league and international soccer matches.
All these habits and practices are detestable and therefore ought to be condemned in the strongest terms.
The acts of vandalism have resulted in massive destruction to property and infrastructure at the ultramodern stadium, a rare treasure in this part of the world, calling for frequent maintenance. But why should these awful incidents keep recurring?
It's high time the stadium authorities devised and implemented appropriate measures to rein in these vandals, preferably through prosecution.
Vandalism is criminal, and those perpetrating it at sports venues and elsewhere must be exposed and pay for their actions.
Measures like the CCTV cameras should be deployed to pin all sports clubs, players, officials, spectators in any way behind acts or behaviour leading to violence and destruction.
The government's decision to have the repugnant action and behavior attract hefty fines should go a long way towards bringing about a semblance of order and discipline at stadiums in the country.
But the payment of such fines should go alongside ensuring that confirmed culprits also face the full wrath of the law. Law-enforcement organs must be even more vigilant and identify all rowdy elements.
If at least a handful of such anti-social elements are taken to court, that could serve as a deterrent leading to the kind of positive change genuine sports lovers are praying for.
At the beginining it looks an uphill task to apprehend these vandals but we have sufficient Police force strong and competent enough to take care of this situation.
Meanwhile, it is important to appreciate the pivotal role of public education and sensitisation in putting an end to this disgrace, or at least to minimise it.
There is a need to create awareness among the public, particularly those people fond of spending their leisure time participating in events at stadiums, whether it is as players, officials of plain soccer lovers and enthusiasts.
The idea should mot be discouraging love for sports as that could end up turning stadiums into white elephants while also eating into the standard of sports in our country.
Society must see the need to behave more responsibly, including keeping good care of basic infrastructure, equipment and facilities, aware of the many benefits of having world-class sports venues.
It will be a big shame for Tanzania to helplessly look on as vandals wreak havoc on, say, the magnificent Chinese-built stadium in Dar es Salaam hardly five years since it was handed over to the government.
Nowhere in the world is hooliganism in sports applauded or condoned; to the contrary, it is condemned everywhere. This should be a lesson to us all.
The violence we have witnessed in our soccer in recent month should prompt the relevant authorities to move in fast and ensure normalcy resumes before we pay an even higher price as a nation.
We all should join crusades aimed at spreading the message of peace and discipline in sports, otherwise it will not be only our soccer that will fall into disrepute.

Do you want to make a cool and powerful multisphere file? Here's how, in a set of easy steps:
Buy a box or gold box of Set 10. Hopefully this gets you one copy of each of the following cards: Mediator of Sun and Moon, Folrart Flame Swordsman, Wandering Bard, Crest Saboteur Knight, Exiled Military Aide, and Mermaid Observer. These cards will henceforth be referred to as Moxies (short for mini-proxies). Go to step 2.
If you want to make a level 3 rush, go to step 3. If you want to make a mids file (not recommended for newer players) skip to step 6.
Pick your favorite two spheres and build a file that uses both of them. Put ONE COPY of the appropriate moxy in it. Go to the Single Player Arena and step 4.
Fight every bot in the Single Player Arena. Start each game by raising your two favorite spheres to level 2 and playing your Moxy. Adjust your file as necessary if you can't beat a bot. Once you've found a version of the file that defeats every bot and is fun to play, go to step 5.
Go to Folrart Arena and use your file. Good luck! If you get bored and want to make a new file, go to step 2.
Pick your favorite Proxy and use point cards to get one copy. Make a file that uses that Proxy's colors, and throw in a moxy with the appropriate colors as well. Go to step 7.
Go to the Single Player Arena and fight every bot. Start each game by Skipping, then playing your proxy, then playing your moxy. Tweak your file as necessary. Once you have a file that beats every bot, go to step 5.
If you somehow break this infinite loop, I would love to get feedback and suggestions for this guide. Sorry if it's terse, I don't mean to be. I hope this helps people who want to play multisphere!

Chemical reaction
Nutralization reaction of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Creative Commons
A chemical reaction is a process that transforms one set of chemical substances to another. The substances that take part in chemical reactions are known as reactants and the substances produced by the reaction are known as products. The study of chemical reactions is part of the field of science called chemistry.[2]
Chemical reactions can result in molecules attaching to each other to form larger molecules, molecules breaking apart to form two or more smaller molecules, or rearrangement of atoms within or across molecules. Chemical reactions usually involve the making or breaking of chemical bonds, and in some types of reaction may involve production of electrically charged end products. Reactions can occur in various environments: solids, liquids, gases, or combinations of same.
As exemplified in the adjacent figure, the participating reactants typically must surmount a threshold energy or activation energy to initiate the reaction, and intermediate products may exist briefly before the final output products are formed. In the figure, the activation energy on the left is the amount of energy change needed to surmount the activation threshold and the energy output on the right indicates the overall change in energy when the reaction is complete. In the figure's exemplified reaction, the final energy level is below the level of the initial reactants and therefore the reaction requires the input and absorption of energy in some form such as heat, light, or electricity.[3]
Chemical reactions can be either spontaneous[4] and require no input of energy, or non-spontaneous[4] which require the input of some form of energy. Classically, chemical reactions are transformations that involve the movement of electrons during the forming and breaking of chemical bonds. A more general concept of chemical reactions would include nuclear reactions and elementary particle reactions.
Energy changes in reactions
In terms of the energy changes that take place during chemical reactions, a reaction may be either exothermic or endothermic, terms which were first coined by the French chemist Marcellin Berthelot (1827 − 1907).
The meaning of those terms and the difference between them are discussed below and illustrated in the adjacent diagram of the energy profiles for exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Exothermic reactions
Exothermic chemical reactions release energy. The released energy may be in the form of heat, light, electricity, sound or shock waves ... either singly or in combinations.
A few examples of exothermic reactions are:
- Mixing of acids and alkalis (releases heat)
- Combustion of fuels (releases heat and light)
Endothermic reactions
Endothermic chemical reactions absorb energy. The energy absorbed may be in various forms just as is the case with exothermic reactions.
A few examples of endothermic reactions are:
- Dissolving ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in water (absorbs heat and cools the surroundings)
- Electrolysis of water to form hydrogen and oxygen gases (absorbs electricity)
- Photosynthesis of chlorophyll plus water plus sunlight to form carbohydrates and oxygen (absorbs light)
Reaction types
The common kinds of classical chemical reactions include:[7][8][9]
• Isomerization, in which a chemical compound undergoes a structural rearrangement without any change in its net atomic composition.
• Direct combination or synthesis, in which two or more chemical elements or compounds unite to form a more complex product:
• Chemical decomposition, in which a compound is decomposed into elements or smaller compounds:
• Single displacement or substitution, characterized by an element being displaced out of a compound by a more reactive element:
2 Na(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⇒ 2 NaCl(aq) + H2(g)
• Metathesis or double displacement, in which two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form different compounds:
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) ⇒ NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
• Acid-base reactions, broadly characterized as reactions between an acid and a base, can have different definitions depending on the acid-base concept employed. Some of the most common are:
• Arrhenius definition: Acids dissociate in water releasing H3O+ ions; bases dissociate in water releasing OH− ions.
• Brønsted-Lowry definition: Acids are proton (H+) donors; bases are proton acceptors. Includes the Arrhenius definition.
• Lewis definition: Acids are electron-pair acceptors; bases are electron-pair donors. Includes the Brønsted-Lowry definition.
• Redox reactions, in which changes in the oxidation numbers of atoms in the involved species occur. Those reactions can often be interpreted as transfers of electrons between different molecular sites or species. An example of a redox reaction is:
2 S2O32−(aq) + I2(aq) ⇒ S4O62−(aq) + 2 I−(aq)
In which iodine (I2) is reduced to the iodine anion (I−) and the thiosulfate anion (S2O32− ) is oxidized to the tetrathionate anion (S4O62− ).
• Combustion, a kind of redox reaction in which any combustible substance combines with an oxidizing element, usually oxygen, to generate heat and form oxidized products as exemplified in the combustion of methane:
• Disproportionation with one reactant forming two distinct products varying in oxidation state as per this example:
2 Sn2+ ⇒ Sn + Sn4+
• Organic reactions encompass a very wide assortment of reactions involving organic compounds which are chemical compounds having carbon as the main element in their molecular structure. The reactions in which an organic compound may take part are largely defined by its functional groups.

Habitat Conditions
Channel Alterations and Habitat Problems
Channelization not only includes straightening the stream, but also bank clearing, and widening of the channel. This results in a loss of total stream area and quality habitat, increased streambank and streambed erosion, and a homogenous habitat that supports far less aquatic life. The South Wyaconda River is the most heavily channelized river in the watershed, followed by the Wyaconda River and the North Wyaconda River (Table Lo01). These measures have resulted in severe headcutting in the upper reaches. Even on reaches of stream not impacted by channelization, accelerated streambank erosion occurs where protective forested corridors have been removed. In such cases, vertical banks up to 15 feet high have developed. Maintaining diversity of water depth is difficult, if not impossible, in areas where streambanks are unstable.
Stream fish habitat in many tributaries has been severely degraded by grazing livestock that trample streambanks and streambeds, increasing turbidity and erosion and destroying instream cover. Problems stemming from instream sand and gravel removal are locally significant but minor compared with problems resulting from stream channelization and watershed wide erosion. All of these factors limit the ability of the watershed to support quality aquatic life.
Unique Riparian Habitats
Even though all the streams in the basin have been degraded by agricultural encroachment, some still provide quality aquatic habitat. Anderson (1983) classified a stretch of the Wyaconda River from its mouth to about two miles upstream as a statewide significant aquatic area. The undisturbed cliffs along the river support many species of plants that are not commonly found in other areas of the basin.
Habitat Conservation Projects
Most of the stream-related projects in the Wyaconda watershed have been channelization projects not aimed at habitat conservation. We have no record of any habitat conservation projects on the Wyaconda River.
Corps of Engineers Jurisdiction
The Wyaconda River basin in under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Most activities involving the deposition or stockpiling of material in stream channels require a Section 404 permit from COE. As of December 20, 2004, applications for 404 permits should be sent to: Clock Tower Building, P.O. Box 2004, Rock Island, IL 61204-2004, attention NCROD-S. Phone (309) 794-4200.

When Voyager seeks refuge from alien attackers on the surface of a devastated planet, they find a small group of people who have survived in suspended animation for almost nine hundred years.
Some time in the past, the beauty of an enormous alien city is suddenly torn apart when torpedoes begin raining down on it, causing massive destruction everywhere. Below the chaos, a couple desperately tries to avoid falling debris and scramble into stasis pods. They are set for five years, hoping that by then, the war will have ended.
Act One
892 years later, the crew of the USS Voyager is surprised when they find themselves pulled into a subspace corridor full of asteroids, destroyed ships, and other debris. They sail along for five minutes before making contact with another vessel, belonging to the Turei. Captain Janeway states that they were pulled in by accident and are only looking for a way out. The Turei vessel assists Voyager by firing upon its shield generator which causes it to be thrown from the corridor. The Turei vessel also exits the corridor with Voyager. The crew is amazed when Ensign Tom Paris reports that they have traveled over two hundred light years since entering the corridor five minutes earlier. Janeway immediately asks the Turei vessel if they could negotiate passage through the subspace corridor, hoping to reach the Alpha Quadrant. However, not only do the Turei deny the request, but they demand that Voyager lowers its shields and prepare to be boarded - the Turei want to erase the evidence of the underspace corridor from Voyager's computer core. When Janeway refuses, the Turei open fire.
To escape the firing ships, Seven of Nine identifies a nearby uninhabited planet with an atmosphere full of radiogenic particles as an ideal hiding place, and Paris sets a course. Voyager enters the planet's atmosphere pursued by the attacking Turei ships, but as Voyager increases its descent vector the Turei retreat, unable to withstand the higher levels of radiation. When the viewscreen is activated the crew is surprised to see the remains of a metropolis situated on the surface - it then becomes apparent that the surface of the planet is suffering from a nuclear winter, which Ensign Harry Kim confirms has lasted almost nine hundred years based on radioactive decay. Voyager lands in the middle of the city, and Tuvok reports that the radiation in the atmosphere is temporarily blocking Voyager from the Turei's sensors but it will not be for long.
Voyager lands in the center of the city and the captain orders repairs begun. They then detect faint life signs underneath the city, and as they explore, they discover several stasis pods, some of which are still active. They beam down to an underground chamber that has been heavily reinforced in order to make it last indefinitely. As Janeway and Tuvok search a different part of the chamber, Seven examines the pods. Ignoring Starfleet procedure, Seven of Nine activates one of the stasis pods and awakens a man. The man is startled to hear that he was in stasis for nine hundred years. He asks to see his wife, Jisa, but she did not survive the stasis.
Act Two
The man awakes in Voyager's sickbay where he is scanned by The Doctor. He identifies himself as Vaadwaur, and recognizes Seven of Nine as Borg saying he's encountered them before. He indicates that the underspace corridors were previously held by the Vaadwaur, but it seems after centuries of inactivity they have been claimed by their rivals. There are thousands more stasis pods still active underground as well as preserved vehicles and fighters. Gedrin expresses disappointment at his wife's lack of courage before entering stasis, the captain calls that "a bit heartless" but continues relations.
When Gedrin meets Neelix, he observes that he is Talax-ilzay. Neelix says that this was an ancient name of his people. He says that in his ancient tongue, the word vaadwaur means foolish. As Neelix attempts to apologize for calling the Vaadwaur foolish, a torpedo hits the city and red alert is activated.
On the bridge, Chakotay reports that the Turei have found them. They cannot get an exact fix, but they can fire in the general area. Gedrin has a plan for a way to accurately target the Turei. If Voyager can uplink with a Vaadwaur sentry satellite they will receive its sensor telemetry. Once they have access they return fire and disable the lead Turei ship. They cease their attack.
Voyager makes a deal with the Vaadwaur: the Vaadwaur get to escape and rebuild their civilization while Voyager can use the subspace corridors to get closer to Earth. Gedrin reveals a huge chamber filled with Vaadwaur fighters. Chakotay comments by saying "dragon's teeth." He says it is an ancient Greek myth: "After a dragon was killed in a war, its teeth were spread out across the battlefield. They took root and warriors sprung from the ground to continue the fighting."
Act Three
In astrometrics, the crew discusses their options with the Vaadwaur. They have memorized the subspace corridor layout, so they can plot Voyager's course, however there are eleven Turei ships in orbit. Morin is put in charge of reanimating the other Vaadwaur.
In her quarters, Naomi Wildman sadly plays with a doll. Neelix enters to tuck her in. When he asks her about her experiences with the Vaadwaur children she says she doesn't like them. Apparently she witnessed them making fun of Neelix. He isn't very offended, but he doesn't continue telling her to play with them.
Back in the underground chamber, B'Elanna Torres is helping the Vaadwaur make repairs. Morin says a Klingon phrase to her. It seems that they identify with the Klingon views of battle and honorable death. "As children we are taught to fall asleep each night imagining a different way to die."
Back in the mess hall, Neelix reviews references to the word vaadwaur in Talaxian and other Delta Quadrant history. The earliest usages are in Eldaxon's Collected Folklore, Neelix begins to review the specifics. Meanwhile in astrometrics, Seven and one of the Vaadwaur review possible planets to relocate the Vaadwaur to. He tells Seven that the Borg only controlled a few systems nine hundred years ago.
In Voyager's briefing room, Tuvok reports a total of twenty-one Turei ships on sensors. Tuvok's battle plan is pretty standard: Voyager will make a straightforward attack, while the Vaadwaur fighters make a surprise attack. Gaul requests photon torpedoes for their fighters, but Janeway refuses because it goes against Starfleet protocols.
Later in the Vaadwaur underground chamber, a few of them are discussing their plans. Unsatisfied with Captain Janeway's decisions, they plan to capture Voyager and use the ship's technology to rebuild their civilization and fight off the Turei. They plan to attack Voyager instead of the Turei.
Act Four
In astrometrics, Seven shows Gedrin a planet that may be suitable. Before they make their decision, however, Neelix summons Seven to Cargo Bay 2. When she arrives, Neelix explains what he found while researching historical records concerning the Vaadwaur. The records describe a race who appeared out of nowhere, destroyed everything in its path, and then vanished - which could be explained by the Vaadwaur subspace corridors. Neelix convinces Seven to do additional research, using her Borg knowledge.
Gedrin enters Captain Janeway's ready room, where she has called for him. She confronts Gedrin with the evidence uncovered by Neelix and Seven. "If I were to take you at your word, the ancient Talaxians might call me Vaadwaur, foolish." Gedrin admits that his species did use the corridors to gain territory, but they were not a purely aggressive race. Although Janeway will go forward with the plan, she will not be as trusting as before.
On the Bridge, Janeway discusses the situation with Chakotay. They decide to alter the plan and she orders Ensign Kim to hail Gaul. She informs him that only ten of the Vaadwaur fighters will have their particle beams remain active. Only ten will attack, so this should not be a problem, she explains. Voyager is ready for the ascent sequence, but the ship jolts when massive energy readings begin to emanate from the chamber. The Vaadwaur are launching the first wave of fighters – seventeen ships. The ships, however, are on an attack vector for Voyager.
Act Five
Voyager begins to ascend from the surface while firing a full spread of phasers at the incoming fighters. They won't be able to jump to warp and escape until they are 280 kilometers above the surface. Voyager continues to ascend and the crew disables a number of the fighters, but Voyager's thrusters and sensors sustain damage. Janeway orders Kim to contact the Turei in orbit. Since the Turei already detected the weapons fire, they believe Janeway when she informs them of the Vaadwaur's presence. Now the Vaadwaur have another enemy to deal with.
Just when the situation begins to look hopeless, Gedrin, realizing the error in the Vaadwaur's aggressive ways, offers to go to the surface and boost the signal to the satellite. Janeway allows him to leave, but sends Tuvok with him. The Vaadwaur inflict heavy damage on Voyager, while taking little in return. Janeway orders the crew to initiate emergency landing procedures.
Suddenly the tide turns, thanks to Gedrin's work on the uplink. Turei torpedoes pound the Vaadwaur. The uplink chamber with Gedrin and Tuvok inside, however, begins to collapse. Gedrin tells Tuvok to save himself, as he sacrifices his life to save Voyager.
Janeway comes up with a plan to take in particles from the radiogenic atmosphere in order to boost Voyager's dwindling power supply. Thanks to her quick thinking, Voyager is able to go to warp and escape the conflict. While the Vaadwaur engage in a violent battle with the Turei, approximately fifty Vaadwaur fighters – according to Seven's astrometric readings – manage to escape into the subspace corridors. This leads the captain to surmise that Voyager and its crew will likely encounter these ancient aggressors again.
Seven expresses her guilt because she is essentially responsible for the Vaadwaur resurgence, but Janeway says she might have done the same thing.
Log Entries
- "Captain's log, supplemental. We've revived nearly 200 of the Vaadwaur and we're moving forward with our unexpected alliance."
- "Captain's log, stardate 53167.9. After two days, there's been no sign of the Vaadwaur or the Turei. However, Seven of Nine has made an unsettling discovery."
Memorable quotes
"Can you find a way out?"
"I don't know. There's hundreds of corridors. It's like a maze."
"Well, be a good rat and find us the cheese."
- - Captain Janeway and Tom Paris
"We don't know anything about this species - they could be hostile."
"Most humanoid cultures are."
- - Tuvok and Seven of Nine, after Seven revives Gedrin from stasis
"When it rains, do you run from doorway to doorway, trying to stay dry, getting wet all the while? Or do you just accept the fact that it's raining and walk with dignity?"
"Rain's one thing. Plasma bombs are something else."
"But the principle is the same."
"I'd bring an umbrella."
- - Gedrin and Captain Janeway
Background Information
- This episode was initially planned as a two-hour telemovie, but Braga and Menosky decided while writing part one that it would work better as a single hour. By the time the compressed version of the script was finished, their opinions had turned around again - but it was too late to re-expand the story. (Interview with Brannon Braga, Star Trek Monthly issue 58, 1999)
- The visual effect for the subspace corridor was a redress of the quantum slipstream effect, except for a change in color and some added debris. (citation needed • edit)
- Footage from this episode was later reused in the alternate opening theme for Star Trek: Enterprise used in the Season 4 episodes "In a Mirror, Darkly" and "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II". Specifically, the attack on the Vaadwaur city in the teaser is reframed as a Terran ship firing on an alien world.
- This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series.

- Tommy: "Phil?"
- Phil: "RUN! RUUUUUUUN!"
- ― Tommy Vercetti meets Phil Cassidy in his depot
Gun Runner is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti from arms dealer Phil Cassidy from his depot in Little Haiti, Vice City.
After the successful bank heist, Phil phones Tommy saying he can receive some extra weaponry. He goes over to his depot to find Phil making bombs out of boomshine, one of which detonates, destroying a Walton. Phil tells Tommy about a Mexican arms dealer named Pedro Garcia who is doing his weekly run. Phil then asks Tommy to steal the weapons shipment. Tommy rams the gun runners' trucks until the weapon crates fall out, smashes the crates, collects the weapons (a .357, SPAS 12, M-60, and a MAC-10) and finally kill all the gun runners in the trucks while being pursued by many Faggio-riding backup, completing the mission.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and knock the arms off the back of the dealers' trucks
- The arms dealer dropped his load. Smash the crate and pick up the weapon
- The arms dealer dropped his load. Smash the crate and pick up the weapon
- The arms dealer dropped his load. Smash the crate and pick up the weapon
- The arms dealer dropped his load. Smash the crate and pick up the weapon
- Now go and finish off the remaining arms dealers
Post mission phone call
Phil Cassidy: Tommy, it's Phil, now cut out all the reminising crap and listen to me, you hear? Good. I got me some extra strength boomshine nearing fermentation time and I was wondering if you'd fancy having a shot. Seriously, Tommy, if you like a drink, or if you need to strip paint, this stuff'll make a man out of you. Sure did out of me, even though I can't see out of one eye. I'll be waiting for you, y'hear.
Tips and Tricks
- Although Phil asks Tommy to kill the dealers, this is not necessary to complete the mission; the player only needs to pick up the guns and destroy the Waltons to successfully complete the mission.
- Unless your car has caught fire, it is best not to exit your vehicle, as the gun runners are quite aggressive with their Waltons - if one hits you, it will quickly drain your health.
- An easy way to avoid the Faggio riders is to destroy the four Waltons by first and pick up the guns by last, once the riders just appear after you pick up a second gun.
- The Waltons used by the gun runners in this mission have a unique white paintjob.
- The Walton in the cutscene features an unobtainable light blue paintjob and different rims.
- The player will get a $100 bonus for every Faggio rider that is killed.
