Roughly 3,000 volunteers have been working tirelessly day and night this past week to build Lincolnton's Friday family a new eight-bedroom home as part of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
While the ABC network recently canceled the show, Extreme Makeover is still set to air periodic specials throughout the year. The Friday family's story will air as a two-hour special in December 2012 and will be one of five total two-hour specials airing during next year's holiday season.
The show's final regular scheduled episode will take place in Joplin, Mo., where seven families, who lost everything to a destructive tornado this past spring, will receive brand new homes, according to an E! online article. It will be the show's 200th episode.
In the eight years Extreme Makeover has been on the air, designers and work crews have built new homes for families across North Carolina three other times, including one each in Raleigh, Fayetteville and Charlotte, according to show authorities.
The Friday's new home, located at 105 Moore St. in Lincolnton, will be just under 4,000 square feet with 3.5 baths when it's completed on Saturday. The big reveal is open to anyone and everyone across the community, and show officials say the more spectators the better.
ABC chose homeowners James and Devonda Friday, who was a former Lincolnton police officer, for their charitable efforts in fostering
numerous children over the years, adopting eight for their own.
Bellamy Homes co-owner Frank Hereda noted that due to the property's rapid construction process, numerous workers have been assigned to single projects such as framing, which he said has used 100 workers alone.
All Bellamy Homes' production staff has been involved with the project, Hereda said.
"It's impossible to build quicker,†he said.
Designers from the Cornelius-based business took two to three weeks to draw-up design plans for the home.
It's also a project unlike any other Hereda's ever experienced and has been the largest effort for charity he's been a part of, he said.
"I can't believe I'm building a house and have no clue how much it costs,†he noted.
He additionally added how difficult it's been to get used to the fact that when a problem occurs at night, there's no one to call for needed products.
"Building at night poses its own problems,†he said. "No one's open.â€
The day shift crew typically has more responsibility, he said, as it recovers and tries to fix problems that occur overnight.
Hereda said the crew's been fortunate to have good weather all week even though builders hit some obstacles early on in the building process.
"We hit rock the first night,†he said. However, the incident did little to set back crew and volunteers.
The crew is also building a charity facility for the family in Lincolnton called House of Hope. The charity has been a vision of the Fridays for quite some time.
Show designer and on-air talent Michael Moloney, revealed to the Times-News Wednesday in a special on-site interview, that he's in charge of designing the House of Hope, which is set to be revealed for the family at 5 p.m. Friday in the Lincoln Shopping Center near Big Lots on North Generals Boulevard. The public is invited to attend.
Moloney said the non-profit facility is 1,600 square feet and that he's worked hard to give the space a rustic, modern and organic-looking theme. Although he wouldn't reveal too many details about the facility's look, he did note that tree branches would be part of the décor.
House of Hope will be a community resource center where foster and adoptive parents can obtain free items including diapers, bottles, blankets and clothing, among other necessary items.
Moloney said that, often times, newly-adoptive parents and foster parents are thrust into a situation which they didn't necessarily have time to adequately prepare for because a child was immediately taken from a dangerous situation.
He likes how each family's story is different each episode and how this particular episode focuses on the importance of adoption.
"I love this message,†he said. "The Friday family is a perfect example.â€
Donations to House of Hope can be made through checks payable to Charlotte Regional Partnership. Specify House of Hope in the item line.
In addition, organizers hope to raise sufficient funds that will allow the Friday family to rent the facility with minimal to no overhead and hope to present them with three years worth of rent, according to a show press release. At least a year of rent has already been collected. An additional press release revealed Thursday afternoon that Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, N.C., has offered to provide full-tuition scholarships to all eight Friday children.
The home's big reveal is set for Saturday. It remains unclear as to exactly what time the event will unfold. All spectators are welcome.
Wild rumors
Reveals for Extreme Makeover have often featured celebrity guests. Rumors spread rapidly on Thursday and were even repeated by area radio stations that singers Justin Bieber and Usher would appear. But show officials told the Times-News those rumors were untrue.
Bieber is due to perform at a benefit Saturday night in California and sent a message to his fans this morning saying he would be in Las Vegas today.
While it appears the rumors were unfounded, it's still possible that some other celebrities could make an appearance.

Increasing demand, tightening supply, and expectations for higher rates and inflation should bring better muni returns in the coming years, says Nuveen's John Miller, Puerto Rico notwithstanding.
In this special one-hour presentation, Morningstar experts share their takes on how investors can navigate a world with slightly overvalued stocks, an uncertain interest - rate environment, and a slow-growing economy.
With a tilt toward longer durations, worries over Puerto Rico, and large outflows, muni funds struggled in 2013, but they have something to offer investors, says Morningstar's Eric Jacobson.

Fasano clashes with Bennett, backs McCarty
Republican Sen. Mike Fasano of New Port Richey has rushed to the defense of state Insurance Commissioner, whose resignation was demanded by Sen. Mike Bennett of Bradenton in a letter to Gov. Charlie Crist.
"He is one of the most highly qualified and experienced individuals to hold this important post," Fasano said in a statement issued Friday from a legislative aide's BlackBerry. "Florida needs his steady hand to steer through the unique insurance challenges that continue to be part of Florida's landscape."
Fasano's statement did not mention Bennett by name, but he got his point across by ending this: "In a town in which insurance companies wield so much power, he (McCarty) has been a voice of reason and stability. During the many years I have worked with him he has never hidden his deep desire to make sure that consumer-friendly legislation and policy were his top priorities."

It appears that pg_qsort is going into infinite recursion, which surely ought to be impossible ... unless the comparison function is giving self-inconsistent results. Which it looks like it is: compareWORD() is written in such a way that it will never return zero, which cannot be right. Given two inputs that are in fact equal, the result will depend on the order in which they are presented, which is sufficient to confuse any sort algorithm. And sure enough, that's what is being compared: (gdb) f 0 #0 0x00000000005d9c37 in compareWORD (a=0x2aaaaeec2048, b=0x2aaaaeec69c8) at to_tsany.c:37 37 int res = strncmp( (gdb) p *(ParsedWord *) a $1 = {len = 1, nvariant = 0, pos = {pos = 16383, apos = 0x3fff}, word = 0x2aaab547da78 "0", alen = 0} (gdb) p *(ParsedWord *) b $2 = {len = 1, nvariant = 0, pos = {pos = 16383, apos = 0x3fff}, word = 0x2aaab988c710 "0", alen = 0} (gdb) It may be that this is a "not supposed to happen" case because there shouldn't be any equal items in the sort input; in which case there is some other bug involved too. But I would say that compareWORD is broken nonetheless. Teodor, Oleg, your thoughts? regards, tom lane

Have you tried using a TRUNCATE instead of a DELETE ? I've found it to be *way* faster and has some better aspects with vacuuming the table afterwards. I am not sure why you would see such a change from 8.0.9 though (we mostly skipped to 8.1 and now 8.2). Do you know if the aggregation part has slowed, the delete part, or both ? If they were to take much longer than they used to I would expect that the attaching processes would experience unhappiness. Can you do an explain analyze on both the old and new systems ?

Skoll Sent: Thu 1/18/2007 5:37 PM To: pgsql-admin(at)postgresql(dot)org Cc: Subject: [ADMIN] Strange performance hit upgrading from 8.0.9 to 8.2.1 Hello, We have a customer running a rather large installation. There are about 15 machines talking to a PostgreSQL database server. At any given time, each machine has between around 20 to 120 connections to the PG server, and the aggregate query rate probably hovers at over 1000 per second. Our database has a table that looks like this: database=> \d low_contention_stats Table "public.low_contention_stats" Column | Type | Modifiers -----------+---------+----------------------------- date | date | default ('now'::text)::date key | text | increment | integer | default 1 There are no indexes on that table. Anywhere from 40 to 100 times per second, we insert something like this into the table: INSERT INTO low_contention_stats(key, increment) VALUES('ACCEPTED', 1); The INSERTs run outside of any transaction (ie, in their own self-contained transaction.) The "key" data being inserted is short -- under 25 characters. We periodically do something like this: BEGIN; -- Aggregate the low_contention data into another table -- and then... DELETE FROM low_contention_stats; COMMIT; and it used to work fine. However, on the upgrade from 8.0.9 to 8.2.1, we suddenly started seeing terrible performance on the INSERTs. (The aggregation process was disabled -- we were only doing the INSERTs at the time.) What would happen is that hundreds of back-ends would acquire locks on the table and it would take many seconds for all the INSERTs to finish. Things would settle down for a few seconds to a couple of minutes, and then again - WHAM! Huge contention. Disabling the INSERTs completely made everything happy, even though they formed only a small portion of the overall queries. While this is OK as a stopgap, it's not really a long-term solution because it disables a fairly useful feature of our software. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to duplicate the problem in our lab with the hardware we have access to. :-( Any PostgreSQL gurus have any insights?

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Thank you kindly for the information provided on April 6, 2012 in regards XXXXX XXXXX EDD unemployment issue.
Today, I received three letters from the EDD titled "Notice of Determation." A large portion of the letters refers to code sections 1279 and 1252 and how I am not entitled to the full weekly benefit for certain weeks and how I am not entitled to receive a benefit for other weeks.
One section of the second letter I received from them is alarming. It reads:
"You are not eligible to receive benefits under California Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1257A beginning 4/22/12 until you have filed a claim for each of 10 weeks in which you are otherwise elgible for benefits."
"When you claimed benefits for the week(s) ending 4/7/11 & 4/23/11 to 10/15/11, you declared you had no work or earnings. After considering available information, the deparment finds that you do not meet the legal requirement for payment of full benefits. Section 1257A provides - an individual is disqualified if he willfully makes a false statement of withholds relevant information to obtain benefits. Section 1260A provides - an individual disqualified under section 1257a is ineligible for benefits from 5 to 15 weeks if benefits were paid as a result of the misstatement or omission, He or she must submit a continued claim form to the field office to cover each week and meet all eligibility requirements. No benefits are payable for three years from the original effective date of this disqualification unless it is satisfied at an earlier date and you are otherwise elgible. The repayment of any overpayment does not remove the disqualification."
The letters do not directly accuse me of fraud, but I am led to believe (after researching code section 1257a and the 10 week penalty), that is what I am being accused of.
I did not willfully make any false statement or purposefully withhold any information. As soon I learned I made a mistake and was not reporting 1099 income that I should have, I contacted the Edd immediately.
I am given the right to appeal their decision. Fraud will have a very negative impact on the 1099 business I trying to grow.
Please advise.
My apologies. I clicked accept/submit for you.
Let me also add that I notified the edd initially (during my first interview) that I was receiving 1099 income, which they had record of.
I clearly did not understand that I was supposed to list any 1099 income on my bi-weekly benefit form.
I would never want to put my professional licenses in jeopardy. Why doesn't the edd realize that me initially indicating I was receiving 1099 income and me voluntarily coming forward once I was aware I was supposed to report 1099 income as non-fraudulent intent?
I await your response.
Thank you for your reply.
My major concern is that I was disqualified under Section 1257a. Section 1257a mentions fraud even though it is not a charge of fraud and mentions that I willfully made false statements.
As you know from my previous coorespondence, as soon as I discovered my error I reported it to the EDD.
My main concern is not repayment of the money. My main concern is how this information is made public and will it affect my license with the California Department of Insurance?
I am considering the following alternatives:
1) Not to appeal and repay monies paid to me plus any penalties
2) Appeal decision because I know I did not willfully withhold information or commit fraud.
If I choose not to appeal, how is this communicated as public information on my record?
If I choose to appeal the decision and lose, how is this communicated as public information on my record?
My insurance license comes up for renewal on 7/31/12. Please see the questions below that are asked on my renewal. Question number #2 refers to administrative disciplinary action. Is this considered administrative disciiplinary action in regards XXXXX XXXXX insurance license ?
Have you been convicted of a crime which has not been previously reported to the California Department of Insurance? Yes No
"Crime" includes a felony, a misdemeanor or a military offense. "Convicted" includes, but is not limited to, having been found guilty by a verdict of a judge or jury, having entered a plea of nolo contendere, no contest, having had any charge expunged, dismissed or plea withdrawn pursuant to Penal Code 1203.4, or having been given probation, a suspended sentence or a fine. You may exclude traffic citations and juvenile offenses tried in juvenile court. You should answer "yes" if you have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor including driving offenses such as, but not limited to, reckless driving, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license, whether or not you spent any time in jail, and whether or not you believe the conviction has been removed from your record.
2. Have you been involved in any administrative disciplinary action which has not been previously reported to the California Department
of Insurance? Yes No
"Involved" means having a license censured, suspended, revoked, canceled, terminated or, being assessed a fine, placed on probation or surrendering a license to resolve an administrative action. "Involved" also means being named as a party to an administrative or arbitration proceeding, which is related to a professional or occupational license. "Involved" also means having a license application denied or the act of withdrawing an application to avoid a denial. Include any business so named because of your actions in your capacity as an owner, partner, officer, director, or member or manager of a Limited Liability Company. You may exclude terminations due solely to noncompliance with continuing education requirements or failure to pay a renewal fee.
The California Department of Insurance website also refers to Section 1729, which is a change in background information and states the following:
"Background information" means any of the following: a misdemeanor or felony conviction; a filing of felony criminal charges in state or federal court; an administrative action regarding a professional or occupational license; any licensee's discharge or attempt to discharge, in a personal or organizational bankruptcy proceeding, an obligation regarding any insurance premiums or fiduciary funds owed to any company, including a premium finance company, or managing general agent; and any admission, or judicial finding or determination, of fraud, misappropriation or conversion of funds, misrepresentation, or breach of fiduciary duty.
Does my situation apply here?
Thank you again.
I intend to send a letter to the EDD (below) and would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you again for your help thus far.
I received Notice of Determination correspondence from the EDD dated 4/27/12. The determination letters stated that I was not entitled to receive unemployment insurance benefits under Code Section 1279 beginning 4/3/11 through 2/11/12. I agree with the Notice of Determination that the monies I received must be paid back. My main concern is the Notice of Determination letters refer to Section 1257(a). The letter states "Section 1257(a) - provides an individual is disqualified if he willfully makes a false statement or withholds relevant information to obtain benefits." I realize that ignorance of the law is not an excuse, but I did not willfully make a false statement or withhold information.
I spoke with my accountant in late March 2012 to complete my income tax return for 2011. I explained that I was receiving unemployment benefits and he was aware of my 1099 income and questioned whether or not I was reporting correctly on the Continued Claim Form. He indicated to me that he believed I was supposed to report all 1099 income on the Continued Claim Form. I immediately called the EDD to alert them of my mistake. I had a phone interview with an EDD interviewer on 4/9/12. At the request of the interviewer, I faxed a listing of my 1099 income received from 4/2/11 through 3/17/12.
During the period 4/2/11 through 3/17/12, I answered all claim form questions to the best of my ability. There was no willful intent to make false statements, representations or knowingly fail to disclose any facts. As soon as my accountant alerted me of my errors, I called the EDD to report my mistake
Again I understand my responsibility to pay back monies I have received to date.
My apologies. I forgot to accept.
What it all really comes down to is I want to make sure I do not face any issues with the California Department of Insurance. This is my life and all I really know how to do.
I wish that the EDD would see that by me taking the steps to contact them, this was a mistake.
From your experience, do you feel my letter above would be convincing enough or do you see this going to a hearing?

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) – Johnny Manziel is No. 2 on Cleveland's depth chart but No. 1 as the NFL's top-selling jersey.
The league said Monday the rookie quarterback's No. 2 jersey outsold all others from April 1 to July 17 on NFLShop.com.
Manziel is followed on the list by three quarterbacks: Seattle's Russell Wilson, San Francisco's Colin Kapernick and Denver's Peyton Manning. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is fifth followed by St. Louis rookie Michael Sam, the league's first openly gay player.
The league did not say how many Manziel jerseys – priced at $99.95 a pop – sold during the period.
The Browns drafted the former Texas A&M star with the No. 22 pick. He'll enter his first training camp as Brian Hoyer's backup.

I am allowing the following bills related to local retirement systems to become law without my signature: House Bill No. 3033, Senate Bill No. 1285 and Senate Bill No. 1286.
Each of these bills changes provisions of local retirement systems that receive no state support. Municipalities have the ability to make changes under laws that have already been passed, so forcing cities to come to the legislature to change their locally-funded retirement systems is an unnecessary exercise.
This provision weakens the board's authority to oversee physicians and vests that authority instead in the ALJ. This bill treats the Texas Medical Board differently from every other occupational licensing agency by mandating that the board accept the ALJ's findings.
Following the 78th and 80th Legislatures, I allowed local pension bills to become law with the message, "The Texas Legislature should get out of the business of approving local retirement benefits for cities." I am disappointed that the legislature continues to mandate what local pension benefits must be. I strongly recommend that municipalities work with the legislature to repeal the mandate that certain cities must come to the legislature to change their pension systems.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have signed my name officially and caused the Seal of the State to be affixed hereto at Austin, this 17th day of June, 2011.

During Zuma's term in office, we have begun to witness a worrying reversal in the progress which has been made, says Lindiwe Mazibuko.
This year marks the end of President Jacob Zuma's first term in office. But what is the true state of the South African nation five years on?
Zuma has presided over a series of major crises: the poor performance of our economy, the rapid increase in corruption and cronyism, and numerous challenges with the quality of our education system. We have also seen an increase in incidents of police brutality owing to a militarised police service, as well as the prevalence of service delivery protests.
This, coupled with policy uncertainty arising from tension between the National Development Plan and the New Growth Path, has had a deeply negative effect on investor confidence in our country.
Despite numerous promises of jobs and economic growth from Zuma's ANC, the opposite has come true. Over the past five years, 365 750 South Africans have joined the ranks of the unemployed every year – almost double the number of previous years.
The number of discouraged job seekers nearly doubled to reach 2.24 million by the third quarter of 2013. In Zuma's fourth year as president, GDP growth dropped to just below 2 percent, down from an average rate of 4.23 percent during the presidency of his predecessors.
During the years of Thabo Mbeki, we at least saw a relatively well-run economy. During his presidency, the unemployment rate, using the expanded definition, dropped from 35.5 percent to 32.4 percent.
All of these gains have been lost. Despite the continual promises of growth, Zuma's ANC has failed to deliver. Since taking the Presidency in 2009, and promising to create 5 million jobs by this year, we've only seen 126 000 people join the ranks of the employed. More worryingly, a further 1.4 million people have joined the ranks of the unemployed.
We know this to be the result of poor fiscal policy, including large national government debt and a failure by the government to manage economic risks and foster growth. It is also because President Zuma refuses to pick a side – he panders to the interests of his tripartite alliance partners because he puts what is in his best interests ahead of what is best for all South Africans.
Adding to our economic woes is the unforgivable reality that an estimated R675 billion has been lost to corruption since 1994. If anything, corruption is one of the greatest inhibitors of growth in South Africa. That is why we should all be shocked to learn that South Africa has dropped 17 positions on the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index during Zuma's term of office.
But we should not be surprised. From the very beginning, Zuma lacked both the credibility and the determination to combat corruption. His party disbanded the Directorate of Special Operations (the Scorpions) – a key corruption-fighting unit – instead of strengthening it. And instead of answering to 783 charges of corruption, Zuma has done everything possible to avoid his day in court.
Today, this pattern continues. The president ducks and dives to avoid providing South Africans with the truth about his involvement in the spending of more than R200 million in public money upgrading his private residence in Nkandla. And he spends millions of rand of the people's money delaying the release of the "spy tapes", as well as a judicial review into the dropping of charges against him.
The key question to which every South African parent wants an answer is whether the education their child receives will help them find a job and build a better life. The answer remains unacceptable for too many of our fellow citizens.
The Department of Basic Education has itself admitted to about 17 percent decline in the number of candidates who wrote maths and physical science respectively between 2009 and last year. This means that the number of pupils who could be potential candidates for engineering, medicine, or any technical study at tertiary level is decreasing. Added to this, in 2008 there was a shortage of 4 890 maths teachers and 4 551 science teachers countrywide.
Another major drag on the quality of our education system is Zuma's pandering to the Cosatu-affiliated trade unions. The SA Democratic Teachers Union continues to hinder key education policies that could ensure better quality education – including competency tests for matric markers and teacher performance monitoring.
Textbook delivery has also been a major blight on Zuma's record over the last term. Pupils in Limpopo went without textbooks for over six months of the school year, and a court held that the government was infringing upon the basic human rights of its learners. According to reports in 2013, 140 schools in the province had not received their full complement of textbooks by the end of January 2013 – a clear indication that past problems still persist.
Added to this are lingering problems with the delivery of infrastructure needed to educate our children. According to the National Education Infrastructure System, in 2011 2 402 schools in South Africa did not have access to safe water sources, and 2 611 schools had an irregular supply of these most basic provisions. In this same year, 11 450 schools still had pit latrines, and 913 schools had no toilet facilities at all.
In order for South Africans to live lives of value, they must feel safe in their homes and in their communities. But for too many South Africans, violence and fear have become a way of life.
The official crime statistics of 2012/13 tell us that little progress has been made in reducing violent crime: the murder rate is up for the first time in five years, and drug-related crime has been significantly higher in the Zuma years than in preceding presidencies.
Property-related crime (including burglaries, stock theft and theft from vehicles) has increased by 5.9 percent under Zuma's presidency (after decreasing by 20 percent in the five years prior), and the illegal possession of firearms has also increased 5.9 percent over the course of Zuma's stewardship.
Not only is the SAPS failing to protect citizens from crime, but recent incidents of police brutality have positioned the police service as a major precipitator of social wrongdoing and injustice.
The final area of major concern for South Africa is service delivery. Between 1994 and 2009, the percentage of households with access to electricity increased by 28 percent, but under Zuma's ANC the rate has decreased dramatically, with only an additional 6 percent of households gaining access to electricity.
Since 1994, the number of households with access to drinkable water increased by 33 percent. However, during Zuma's presidency this only increased by 3 percent. Similarly, while the number of households with access to sanitation increased from 51 percent in 1994 to 85 percent in 2013; there has only been a 2 percent increase in the last four years.
This failure to improve on the strong foundation that was left to him is the reason that President Zuma's administration today faces protest action after protest action.
Twenty years into our democracy, South Africa is undoubtedly a better place than it was in 1994. However, during Zuma's term in office, we have begun to witness a worrying reversal in the progress which has been made.
We can and must break this trend. South Africans can do this by giving the DA a chance to govern. We have the right policies to put right the wrongs of apartheid.
In the Western Cape, where we govern, we are prioritising basic services for the poor, improving education, and creating jobs. Indeed, we are realising the dreams of 1994.
We also have the right policies to end corruption and create jobs. That is why, if we are elected to national government, the DA will create 6 million REAL jobs and increase economic growth to 8 percent in the next 10 years.
The 2014 general elections will be a watershed moment in South Africa's history. South Africa simply cannot afford five more years of President Zuma.
We need to get South Africa back on the road to prosperity. We need to work again towards the dream of 1994. The DA is the party with the right policies and the right leadership to make this happen.

Little Girl Almost Drowns, Doctors Say It's A Miracle She Survived
FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) —
Several Fresno Fire Fighters were honored for helping save the life of a 16 month-old girl who almost drowned. Doctors say the little girl should have died and it's a miracle that she's alive.
The 16 month-old's family wants to warn people that any child can drown, no matter how many safety precautions are around the pool.
Vicki Allen-Westburg says she was baby-sitting her granddaughter Natalia back in January. They were playing outside when Westburg ran into the house for a minute. When she came back out, Westburg couldn't find her granddaughter.
"My first thought was she has to be here, she has to be here, I just saw her and I could hear her playing, she was chasing the cat," says Westburg, "Then I went through the beginning of the panic stage of okay she's not in the side yard, the front gates are completely secured, she couldn't have gotten into the front yard, and she must of gotten into the house."
Westburg says as she turned towards the house she had a gut feeling to check the pool. The grandmother says that's when she saw Natalia floating in the water.
"I yelled out, 'No God, don't do this,' and I started running toward the pool and when I ran I tore a leg muscle. I ended up crawling to the pool and jumped in and lifted her up," says Westburg, "She was blue and gray."
Westburg started performing CPR and yelled for help. No one could hear her, so she ran into the house with the 16 month-old and called 911.
"She looked so incredibly tiny on that gurney," says Westburg. "They were getting ready to take her out the door and I stopped them and said, 'Please tell me something, you can't just take her, you gotta tell me something.' The fireman said, 'Her heart's beating, she's trying to breathe on her own, and she needs a lot of help we gotta go."
At the hospital Westburg says they were told if Natalia survived she would never be the same again.
"It wasn't until four days after that we realized our prayers had been answered and she was going to be fine," says Westburg, "She was back to her same personality, same mannerisms, same smile, same everything."
Natalia's grandparents say she got past the safety gate because it was accidentally left open.

Come on Elysia, you could be changing the world. Why argue with me some more? I'm a nobody.
Yeah, right.
You always seem to pessimistic.
This thread was moved from sobieski19's error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value thread in the C programming board.
The quote from the first post in this thread is from Elysia.
There are many ways of addressing a person when don't know their gender. A new word is not one of them.
We do have gender-specific words in French. In fact, every thing has a gender in French, even a table or a book. :)
Standard Mandarin has also gender-specific pronoun, but only when written.
By the way, maxorator, your cat looks pretty cool.
I believe the pronoun he is gender neutral, IIRC the masculine singular pronoun from old english became deprecated in favor of the neutral form, whereas the feminine did not.
Feminazis are always complaining about something they know nothing about because they can't get laid.
There now THAT is sexist, the use of HE as a gender neutral term is NOT. So like grow up and read a book.
What was this "masculine singular pronoun from old english"?Quote:
IIRC the masculine singular pronoun from old english became deprecated in favor of the neutral form
Yay, its always been my dream to be a hot slutty tramp. Oops, was that out loud?
Traditionally, "he" is both a masculine pronoun and an indefinite (and thus gender neutral) pronoun.Quote:
Some people do not agree, my included. What is right is right.
Calling she a he is not right and calling a he she is not right, and therefore using the masculine pronoun he for all is not right.
What you are saying is that using "he" to refer to a female is not right. I agree, but here "he" refers to a person of unspecified gender. In this context of an indefinite pronoun, "he" does not specifically refer to a male either.
This is word overloading, so to speak.
Actually, it is pretty much always seen as one, seeing as it's a basic part of the language and so everybody knows about it.

Poor Tom Cruise. He looks kind of confused in these new posters for Doug Liman's sci-fi actioner "Edge of Tomorrow." This is a movie I'll probably love, even though, from the looks of the trailers, they've altered some of the original source material. The premise is still intact, but I assumed that was the reason they bought the book in the first place — specifically for the premise. And they kept Emily Blunt's Rita Vrataski around, even though she's now a Brit, but that's close enough, I guess.
Check out the four new posters, one above and three below.
Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
Also starring Bill Paxton, Noah Taylor, Kick Gurry, Dragomir Mrsic, Charlotte Riley, Jonas Armstrong, Franz Drameh, Masayoshi Haneda, and Tony Way.
Tom Cruise saves the universe (again) this June 6th.

Robert Bakker
Bob Bakker (Robert Thomas Bakker, March 24, 1945) was born in Bergen County, New Jersey.[1] He is an American paleontologist and writer, who developed modern ideas about dinosaurs. Bakker studied at Yale University and Harvard University.
Bakker accepted his mentor John Ostrom's idea that dinosaurs were warm-blooded (endothermic).[2] With this as a starting-point, Bakker publicised the "dinosaur renaissance" in paleontological studies.[3] His special field is the ecological context and behavior of dinosaurs.
Bakker has been a major proponent of the theory that dinosaurs were warm-blooded, smart, fast, and adaptable. His main work, The Dinosaur Heresies, was published in 1986.[4] He revealed the first evidence of parental care at nesting sites for Allosaurus. Bakker was among the advisors for the film Jurassic Park and for the 1992 PBS series, The Dinosaurs.

THE EFFECTS OF TELEWORK ON ORGANISATION AND BUSINESS TRAVEL An exploratory study on a university context
In recent years, many companies have implemented telework to improve work efficiency and quality of life for employees. Transport planners attempt to assist companies in reducing business travel time losses related to traffic congestion by stimulating telework. However, current knowledge concerning the effects of teleworking on business travel is limited. Furthermore, despite constant promotion, telework penetration in The Netherlands remains low because companies are uncertain about the benefits of teleworking and its effects on their organisation and employees. In this paper, insights from literature review and pilot survey results are used to contribute to the development of a preliminary exploratory model.

VERSAILLES – On June 13-15, the annual Poultry Days Festival returns to the Village of Versailles. The festival theme of "Cluck Dynasty, Happy Happy Happy!" was selected by the 2014 Festival Chairman Shawn Peters and represents the true Cluck Dynasty which after 63 years is only getting stronger. Shawn has been on the Poultry Days Board of Directors for nine years and has volunteered with Poultry Days for 22 years. Shawn is the Technology Coordinator for Ansonia and Mississinawa Valley Local Schools and resides in Versailles with his wife Sandy and children Nathan and Cassie.
It has been over 10 years since the record number of 26,101 chicken dinners was sold in 2002. However, in recent years sales have been steadily increasing with 24,196 dinners sold in 2013. It may require inviting an extra friend to the festival or it might be an excuse to eat another delicious dinner, either way a new record is possible for 2014. Each dinner comes with 1/2 a chicken, Mikesells chips, applesauce, the traditional orange drink and a dinner roll baked by the Versailles Sweet Shop.
The 2014 festival will include old favorites and plenty of new activities for the whole family. Poultry Days features two parades. The Grand Parade is at 11 a.m. on Saturday and is one of the largest parades in the area and, The Antique Car & Tractor Parade is at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday and is preceded by a car display. Harold and Deb Pohl have been selected as Honorary Parade Marshals. This year the Grand Parade will include a welcome home to Darke County Vietnam Veterans. A tribute event will follow at 5 p.m. Saturday in the Versailles School Administration Building gym.
The Darke County Photography Club will return to the festival with their photography competition. The 5k Run/Walk which is part of the Wayne Healthcare Darke County Challenge, has grown each year and will take place on Saturday morning. Also, the Mister and Miss SuperFit challenge returns this year for anyone wanting to test their physical fitness. The Robots are back! Area high school students from FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) will conduct a robot demonstration that is sure to wow spectators on Sunday.
Poultry days will be hosting a number of exciting activities including, a Cornhole Tournament, free Kiddie Tractor Pulls, a 2-on-2 basketball tournament, flower show, cake & egg decorating contest, and the famous Miss Chick and Little Miss Poultry Days pageants. Interested in Reptiles? Valley Exotics will be at the festival with a Reptile Trailer, Petting Zoo, and Pony Rides. The Serendipity Moms will be hosting over 70 vendors on the grounds. K of C Bingo, tractor displays, carnival games and rides will also be there. In additional to chicken there will be your favorite festival foods and the Versailles Band Boosters will be operating their food tent. Frisbees will also be flying, so be sure to catch a game as the Ultimate Frisbee tournament, the 3rd largest in the U.S., returns to Versailles once again. Not to be forgotten, Rage and Rocko the Fire Prevention Dogs will also be making appearances! Jason Emmons of Bear Hollow Wood Carvers will be demonstrating his talent with carvings to be donated to area groups.
The Social Tent will host 11 musical groups with live entertainment starting early each day! Some old favorites and new talent will light up the stage with excitement.

The huge bags make it look like I bought a lot more than I actually did :-/

If you don't mind buying thick jumpers at the height of summer and short shorts in the dead of winter, outlet shopping might be for you. To be honest at such good prices, they are for everybody.
Being back home from uni for the summer and for the first time having a car with me, I spent quite a bit of my time shopping. Although my bank account whimpers my wardrobe is thrilled with its new additions. First stop on my summer spree was the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Ashford.
Outlets by the McArthurGlen group can be found all over the UK and Europe. Whilst they offer Prada, Versace and Missoni outlets elsewhere in Europe (*wishes home was in Italy), here in the UK the brands on offer are a bit more modest, think Ted Baker, Kurt Geiger, Jaeger etc. Please note that even in the UK, the brand selection at the outlets differ. The best one in my opinion seems to be the one in Cheshire Oaks because some of the brands includes Burberry, Mulberry and Joseph. Luckily its not too far from Manchester!
Since the last time I went to the one in Ashford, about 3/4 years ago, the outlet has massively improved. The addition of a Jaeger and Reiss outlet store made it even more necessary for me to pop down. But the most impressive thing about this outlet is that it holds Abercrombie & Fitch's first European outlet store! It may be a bit basic inside but it has the classic A&F smell.
Unfortunately, my trip to the outlet was a quick stop so I only went to those three stores, French Connection and Ralph Lauren with the latter two having a lot to offer. Here is a quick summary: Jaeger was still out of my budget, everything I liked in Reiss was not in my size and A&F had a average selection of women's shirts (I was on a shirt hunt). I wanted about £500 worth of stuff in Ralph Lauren but could afford a lot less and French Connection had an amazing selection of dresses on sale (crazy reductions eg from £140 to £30, if only I was on a dress hunt).
The main purpose of making the drive to the outlet was to maybe one day finally wear a shirt to hospital because I just feel like people are more likely to trust a doctor in a smart shirt. So I picked up three and couldn't resist the French Connection Dress. The shirt from A&F is actually from the kid section!
I made an overall saving of over £175.

. He said, he was under the Age of 16 Years, born in the Parish of St. Giles in the Fields
, and confess'd, That tho' he was so Young, yet he had been a great Offender, having committed several Robberies of the same nature with this he now lay under Condemnation for; which he acknowledg'd he had, by his own Folly, brought upon himself, and justly deserv'd: That the Causes of his betaking himself to such ill Courses, as he had done, were his Father's Dying when he was very Young, and his being brought up to no Trade, and turn'd out of Doors, unprovided for, by a Father-in-Law, as soon as his Mother had marry'd again, which was not very long after his own Father dy'd: That being thus turn'd into the wide World, he was then to seek what Course to take, and what shift to make to get a Livelihood; and that which seem'd to him the readiest, was to steal and pilfer.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
Drawings by some of the UK's leading political cartoonists, including Raymond Jackson (aka JAK), Wally Fawkes (aka Trog), Peter Brookes, James Ferguson and Martin Rowson, will be unveiled at LSE today (Monday 7 September).
Recently discovered by LSE the pictures, mostly published in the early 1990s, portray leading names and events of the age. Between them, the artists represented have appeared in almost every major news publication in the UK.
The artworks range from depictions of leading figures such as Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Lord Ashcroft, to contemporary events, including the Middle-Eastern peace process and one artist's take on the Silcott affair, when convicted murderer Winston Silcott was nominated as the Student Union's honorary president.
The display also explores the wider role of LSE in contemporary society, with Peter Clarke's work openly referring to the relations between academia, society and politics.
Almost all of the drawings can be directly related to LSE publications such as the LSE Annual Review and LSE Magazine. In particular, there appears to have been a very healthy commissioning culture between 1992 and 1995, with cartoons by James Ferguson, Peter Brookes and Wally Fawkes forming a major artistic presence in the LSE Magazine and Annual Review.
Although Raymond Jackson has passed away, and Wally Fawkes has retired from a life in cartoons due to failing eyesight, many of the artists continue to contribute to the national broadsheets. Peter Brookes' work can be regularly seen in the pages of The Times; James Ferguson has been ensconced at the Financial Times for over two decadesand Martin Rowson frequently submits work to The Independent and The Guardian.
Henry Little, curator of the display, said: 'As a collection, these drawings speak volumes as to LSE's self-perception. Most notably, there is the desire to celebrate the academics who have contributed to the School's world renowned reputation. But also, crucially, to the historical position of the School within the great traditions of the subjects which it holds dear. Frequently, as with James Ferguson's caricatures of individual subjects, great figures from the history of a particular discipline and the thinkers at LSE who have taught it are, in fact, one and the same.
'One of the most conspicuous features of this collection is the tone. Whilst these works are all caricatures and, by default, intended to be humorous, it is hard not to notice the rather jocular, self-deprecating manner which seems to emanate from the sitters themselves.'
62 drawings in total will be on permanent display in the Staff Dining Room, Old Building, LSE.
LSE Arts
LSE does not teach arts or music, but it does have a vibrant cultural side which includes weekly music concerts, an orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors and numerous student art societies. LSE Arts is a three year funded initiative within the School which aims to not only present high quality cultural events for students, staff and public, but to also explore and nurture closer links between the arts and social sciences through a rolling programme of contemporary art exhibitions, talks and events. Through this work the School hopes to provide a different and somewhat unique perspective on the arts and the social sciences. http://www.lse.ac.uk/arts

Technical Article => Web => HTML5
The header element in HTML 5
Currently HTML5 is exciting and anyone who want to builds web pages is looking forward to implementing HTML5 new tags into their sites. Definitely HTML5 tags are very rich in functions that make life much easier for both webmasters and end users
Within the HTML5 specfication we can see that there have been a significant number of new tags added, one of these the  element is what we'll be covering here. We will talk about when to use it, when not to use it.
As we are used to seeing

on a majority of sites that we visit, but now with HTML5 that isn't required anymore we can add some more semantic value with the  element.
What does the  element represent?
According to the spec on (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#the-header-element) the header element represents
"A header element is intended to usually contain the section's heading (an h1–h6 element or an hgroup element), but this is not required. The header element can also be used to wrap a section's table of contents, a search form, or any relevant logos."
Here it is important to note that the  element doesn't introduce a new section but is the head of a section. You should also note that the  element should not be confused with the  element.
Where would I use the  element?
Well the obvious place to start would be at the beginning of your page. We we can start with something like this that includes your primary page heading.

Heading on page

Some information

Also an important point to note is that you are not restricted to use one  element per page. You can use multiple headers, each of which will then become the  for that section of the document. You could therefore have…

heading on this page

Some information

Title of article

By PHPZAG

What is required in the  element?
We now know that we can have multiples headers in a page but what's important within the element in order for it to validate?
In short, a  typically contains at least (but not restricted to) one heading tag (
 –
). You can also include the <hgroup> element. The element can also contain other content within the document flow such as a table of contents, logos or a search form. Following a recent change to the specification you can now include the  element within the .
How to Style the  element?
One short but very important point I'd also like to cover is that in order for the majority of browsers to render the  element as a block level element you will need to explicitly declare it as a block in your CSS like so:
header { display:block;}
Definitly you need to do this for most of block level elements in HTML5. As soon as browsers make it default then you will be able to save those precious bytes from your CSS.
In brief  give us some great added semantic value in order to explicitly describe the head of a section.

BROOKSVILLE — The school district is maneuvering to fire an Eastside Elementary exceptional education teacher accused of improperly correcting disabled students by grabbing their arms, shoulders and clothing, the local teacher union president confirmed Friday.
Lisa Studer, 45, is accused of violating the district's ethics and professional conduct policy by inappropriately touching students who were not following directions, said Joe Vitalo, president of the Hernando Classroom Teachers Association.
The district found evidence that Studer "overcorrected noncompliant students by putting hands on students, often grabbing and pulling or touching, and moving them either by their clothing, arm or shoulders," Vitalo said, reading from the district's termination petition dated May 13 and signed by superintendent Bryan Blavatt and School Board attorney Paul Carland.
The board is slated to consider Blavatt's recommendation in a special hearing on June 1, according to the petition. If the board accepts the recommendation, Studer has the right to request a hearing before an administrative law judge, who would hear evidence and make a recommendation to the board.
"She feels like she would like to be heard," Vitalo said of Studer.
Studer, who has worked in the district since 1999, is suspended with pay, but the board at next month's hearing can change that to suspension without pay while an administrative hearing proceeds, Vitalo said.
Likely at issue is whether termination is an appropriate response to any policy violation Studer may have committed, Vitalo said. "A person may have done something wrong, but you want to make sure the consequence fits," he said.
Reached Friday, Blavatt declined to comment until the district's investigation report becomes public record Monday.
Clearwater attorney Mark Herdman, who Vitalo said is representing Studer, did not return a message left at his office Friday.
Studer was pulled from the classroom earlier this month while state and school district officials investigated allegations that she pinched the cheeks of an autistic student to get the student's attention, possibly on more than one occasion.
The Hernando Sheriff's Office found no basis for criminal abuse charges, but the Florida Department of Children and Families and the school district launched their own investigations.
The DCF investigation is still ongoing, a department spokeswoman said Friday.
A prior blemish in Studer's personnel file may be a factor in the district's decision to move for termination. In March 2009, she was the target of a similar investigation while working as an exceptional education teacher at Deltona Elementary in Spring Hill.
Studer faced allegations that she forced students' heads down onto desks with her hand and forcibly held at least one student's hands, an investigation report in her personnel file reveals. At least two paraprofessionals said they saw Studer hold down students' heads on desks, the report shows.
DCF and the Sheriff's Office investigated and determined there was no abuse. But Studer was given a written reprimand for violating the state code of ethics and professional conduct by failing to properly use crisis prevention intervention restraints, and for failing to inform administrators when students were restrained.
She was reassigned to another classroom and required to take a course in crisis prevention intervention, and she was warned that another incident of similar conduct could be grounds for termination.
Studer was transferred to Eastside, in the Hill 'n Dale subdivision, a few weeks later.

Last seen in 1997's Flesh & Bones, Jake Lassiter is a hero unlike any other in the courtroom. Booklist called him "one of the most entertaining series characters in contemporary crime fiction." The former Miami Dolphin is still swimming with sharks in his latest, boldest novel of suspense yet.
Amy Larkin is in town, looking for her sister Krista, who vanished without a trace almost two decades earlier. She seeks out Lassiter because he's the last person to have seen her alive. Lassiter volunteers to investigate, and his search for Krista's fate will take him into the underworld of Miami's pornography industry, into the dangerous lives of his friends, and, of course, into the courtroom, where Lassiter's bareknuckle style makes him a formidable opponent.

"I used to like Levine, but this is lame"
When Paul Levine first began gaining steam as a Miami legal thriller writer, I was taken with his books. That was about 15 years ago; and I wondered what happened to him. I even went to a book signing in Tampa and spoke with him. He really seemed the next Grisham. He seemed to vanish for years, then I was excited to see a new book on Audible. First of all, he was a Jewish Miami attorney; and having his protagonist be a caricature of a Miami redneck (if there is such a thing), is nothing short of pathetic. Nothing sounds right or feels right about the rather one-dimensional Lassiter, living with his granny who eats roadkill-type meals. Lassiter is a former jock with a jock mentality; but not in a funny or good way. Not even in a convincing way. As an attorney, he lamely attempts to portray himself as a courtroom bad boy; but, again, only sounds lame and self-centered. The plot is convoluted and thin, at best; the characters are stereotypical weirdos, and as a whole, they make up a bad 3rd grade play. The narrator does a passable job, but he seems to shift in and out of redneck southern twang at odd moments. Very sad, as Levine's first works were very entertaining. I still have some of them in hard cover.This is NOT worth a credit.
I am a husband/dad/granddad who loves books. My reviews are my subjective opinions. My hope is they will help others make buying decisions.
"Barely worthwhile"
Lassiter is the 4th Paul Levine audio book I have listened to. The other earned 4 stars. Lassiter is not that good.
"Bad language"
The language was reallly bad and the sexual content very disturbing. I stopped reading but picked it up again because the reviews were ok. I'm sorry that I selected it and would not recommend it.
"Lots of fun!"
All to books in the Lassiter series are great fun. Great for car trips or easy listening.
"Getting Hooked"
I am really getting hooked on Paul Levine's books. Peter Berkrot did a great job also. I like the down to earth not perfect lawyers with their own family
issues. I just love Grammy and Kip is a interesting boy to say the least.

Haha, no offense to anyone who has deleted their FB, but it seems that "I deleted my FB account" has become the new "I don't *do* FB." As if not "*doing*" FB was some badge of honor. I have surgeons, lawyers, CEOs, college professors, an electrical engineer, etc. among my FB friends, so I don't think it's an activity only reserved for those lower on the intelligence or socioeconomic scales. I'm a private person, and I keep my private isht private, but I enjoy being able to keep up with old friends and family across the country--people whom I would otherwise never see or hear from. I even found a long-lost, important family member through FB--for free, which would have never been the case without FB.
That said, I do recognize that FB is a platform for all sorts of negativity: attention whoorishness, narcissism, triviality, a forum through which to spread messages of hate, cyberbullying, viruses, scams, etc. People given to these behaviors are going to find an outlet or venue irrespective of FB's existence.
Like anything else in life, it has its pros and cons.
If you hate FB and deleted your account or never got involved to begin with:
If you love it and spend hours each day driving all your "friends" crazy posting each time you blink or take a breath: (I'll just eliminate your updates from my feed--no problem)
