William Archdall
b.29 Sept 1683 Lusk, County Dublin, Republic of Ireland
d.6 Sept 1751
Family tree▼
m. 1 April 1679
Facts and Events
WILLIAM ARCHDALL (second son of the Rev. John and Elizabeth Archdall), was born on September 29th 1683, and at the age of twelve was apprenticed to the goldsmith's trade. In due course, he established himself in the business in Dublin ; first in Castle Street, and afterwards in Skinner Row, which is now called Christ Church Place. He became Master of the Goldsmiths' Company of Dublin in 1713. His name appears, in 1712, in the list of subscribers to the rebuilding of St. Werburgh's Church, Dublin, and he served as Churchwarden in 1723.
From the year 1736, until his death, William Archdall was Assay Master of Dublin, and on December 21st 1741 he presented a petition to the Irish House of Commons for an increase of the salary attached to that post. The petition set forth that the Assay Master, appointed by the Company of Goldsmiths in Dublin, was to receive the duty laid on all wrought and manufactured Plate ; that he was empowered to detain the yearly sum of £20, as his salary; but that this sum bore no proportion to the petitioner's labour and expense in executing his office. The Member for Fermanagh, Nicholas Archdall, was on the Committee appointed to investigate the matter, and the petition appears to have been successful. William Archdall's will is dated August 17th, and proved October 15th 1751. He died on September 6th 1751, and was buried at Lusk, where there was probably a family vault.
He married Henrietta, daughter of the Rev. Henry Gonne, Rector of Mayo and Vicar Choral of Tuam Cathedral. In her will, dated July 25th 1765, and proved in 1772, she is described as " of Summer Hill, Widow." William and Henrietta Archdall had issue :—

I see a lot about the right bullet. Oddly enough, one person mentioned that AND the .257 Roberts. I used Hornady 117 Grain RN for years and it was not the right bullet. It defies all logic, but at closer ranges they would not open up unless you hit something solid. Out around 100 yards and better they opened up fine through the lung area. I know of one other person that had the same problem with the .257 and one with a .243 (I don't know what bullet he was loading) that described the same thing. We all got lucky and got a second fast shot in the shoulder. After you kill enough deer you know instantly if it was a good shot or not almost every time. I had it happen to me twice and the first bullet through looked like I ran a target arrow through. Actually, the reaction made me think I shot under the deer and missed. After that I only shot into heavy parts of deer with the .257R. I never had a problem using Hornady Varmit bullets at close range on deer. Close up they are fine. If you start thinking heavy bullets, you are already planning on using that .223 in a manner that is stretching the capabilities of it. I would not hunt with mine on a day with heavy gusts of wind.

GEORGETOWN, KY – Georgetown College's south campus student residence halls will get needed convenience and comfort improvements in 2013, thanks to a $500,000 grant the College is receiving from the James Graham Brown Foundation, Inc. Funds will go toward new strategic initiatives designed to improve recruitment and retention.
"Getting this news, following so closely on the heels of other recent positive developments such as being chosen as the site for the new Governor's School for Entrepreneurs and receiving word of SACS reaffirmation of accreditation, gives Georgetown College a lot of good momentum heading into the new year," said President Bill Crouch in announcing the Brown Foundation Board's approval of the grant.
Plans include upgrades to bath and toilet facilities in existing residence halls in the College's Mills Residence Park, as well as other campus-wide amenities like freshening of common areas and improvements outside the Cralle Student Center on the main campus. Renovations will begin in the spring.
"Once again the Brown Foundation has invested in our mission by helping us maintain an environment for intellectual, spiritual and social growth," said an excited Todd Gambill, Ed.D., Georgetown College's Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students, upon receiving word of the grant approval.
The south campus residence halls were originally constructed in the 1970s and are located in an area of campus between Jackson Street and Clayton Avenue named in honor of the late Robert L. Mills, who served as president from 1959 to 1978.

and may include a minimum quantity. The Recourse Rates will be available to any
Customer that does not wish to negotiate a rate.
29.2 Limitations
This Section 29 does not authorize the negotiation of terms and conditions of service.
29.3 Allocation of Capacity
Under any circumstances where allocation of capacity is determined by the rate being
paid, a Negotiated Rate Customer paying a rate higher than the maximum Recourse Rate
will be deemed to be paying a rate equal to such maximum Recourse Rate.
29.4 Bidding for Capacity
The cap for bidding for capacity under the right of first refusal provisions in
Section 3.13 of the General Terms and Conditions of this FERC Gas Tariff is the
maximum Recourse Rate.

Rumsfeld is the designated fall guy
Updated 10:00 pm, Monday, May 10, 2004
WASHINGTON -- One of the timeless truisms in the Harry Truman legacy was the presidential credo: "The buck stops here."
While there is plenty of blame to go around for the horrific handling of the Iraqi prisoners in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, President Bush bears the ultimate responsibility for what happened on his watch.
Under questioning recently, White House press secretary Scott McClellan refused to say whether the president took responsibility for the disgraceful acts against prisoners in Iraq, though Bush has apologized for the degradation of the Iraqi prisoners, saying their treatment was "a stain on our country's honor and our country's uniform."
Bush apparently had no advance clue about the potential fallout of the Baghdad prison abuse. McClellan says the president didn't even know about the pictures until he saw them on TV, though Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld knew about them back in January.
Since it is an election year, Bush obviously does not want to be saddled with an international scandal.
He already has received some digs from Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts -- his apparent Democratic opponent -- in the November election. Kerry said that if he were president he would "not be the last to know."
Meantime, McClellan has been dodging and weaving under the bombardment of Watergate-style questions:
"What did the president know? And when did he know it?"
All we know is that Bush was told last January that an investigation into the Iraqi prisoner abuses had begun. But apparently there was no follow-up until the public revelations last week.
The January inquiry resulted in a devastating Pentagon report by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba in early March. The New Yorker Magazine's intrepid Sy Hersh got the report and published it.
The revelations were not new to the International Red Cross, which says it had repeatedly beseeched Pentagon officials for a softer approach to prisoner interrogations but to no avail. The Red Cross has concluded that the abuse was "tantamount to torture."
Since the revelations, the White House has been engaged in frantic damage control against the firestorm that erupted after the atrocities were first shown on CBS-TV's "60 Minutes II" last Wednesday.
Rumsfeld is obviously the designated fall guy in the prison debacle.
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee Friday, he expressed his deepest apology to the Iraqi victims of the abuses and suggested that they be compensated.
But mainly he appeared to be trying to get the president off the hook by taking "full responsibility."
"These events occurred on my watch," he said. "As secretary of defense, I am accountable for them."
It's doubtful that Rumsfeld can assuage critics calling for his resignation.
Although Bush said Thursday he stands by Rumsfeld, the secretary is probably expendable if the political fallout gets too hot.
Rumsfeld certainly shares much of the blame for the lack of discipline and control in the military prisons.
But aside from such chain-of-command responsibility, the defense chief should bear a larger blame because of his boisterous proclamations two years ago that U.S. treatment of detainees wouldn't be guided by the Geneva Conventions regarding prisoners of war. Rumsfeld also arbitrarily deemed that Army regulations on the interrogation of prisoners would not be observed.
That conveyed a message down the line that "anything goes" when dealing with detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other places where U.S. interrogators have stashed prisoners. (I wonder where Saddam Hussein is being held.)
Human rights groups have registered frequent complaints about the treatment of more than 600 detainees at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo and have been ignored.
The prisoners are literally in limbo without contact with their families, much less a lawyer. The U.S. Supreme Court will decide how this squares with the Constitution.
History shows the buck has stopped with other presidents who trusted the people enough to admit their mistakes.
Among them was John F. Kennedy who took responsibility for the aborted Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961.
In 1980, President Carter said "the responsibility is fully my own" for the ill-fated rescue mission to win the freedom of the American hostages in Iran.
President Reagan took the blame when the Marine barracks were blown up in Beirut in 1983.
In 1987, he took responsibility for the Iran-Contra scandal involving the illegal sale of arms to Iran to fund the anti-government Nicaraguan rebels.
To restore America's damaged global image -- where our words about freedom and democracy have been made a mockery -- Bush must take some personal responsibility.
And that takes courage.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Charlotte, VT, United States, 2007/03/27 - Crimes against destiny are not taken lightly in this feature film thriller which weaves time travel and thwarted free will into a tapestry which will cause viewers to launch immediate Conggressional investigations.
Thayer-Gertner Productions announced it will produce, finance, and distribute the feature film project What Lies Beneath. The script is based on an original story by Peter Girruth and rips the cloak of silence off the most heinous crime ever perpetrated against mankind. Betrayed by those among him, mankind has had his rightful place among the stars stolen from him. His children have been robbed of their history, their future and sentenced to an eternity of bondage and death. But payback is coming and payback is a b****.
What Lies Beneath is the companion piece to Jeffrey Thayers forthcoming production, EVOLUTION OPEN SOURCE (a biopic being produced by ReGenesis Production Film Company (regenesisfilms.net), Burlington, Vermont). Together, WHAT LIES BENEATH and EVOLUTION make up the first two parts of Thayers TIME TRILOGY.
WHAT LIES BENEATH is about crimes against human destiny. Thats the phrase used by Girruth in his unpublished book, says Thayer. I had to work with David in adapting this screenplay because I realized this isnt sci-fi any longer. Im actually living this movie, plugged into this story arc. That may sound crazy to most folks. Its why were assembling a blue ribbon, Science Team on the film production. We are approaching Clifford Pickover, PhD (author and researcher at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center), quantum physicists David Deutsch, PhD (Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford), Michio Kaku, PhD (City College of New York) and Dr. David Anderson, PhD, former United States Air Force officer, flight test engineer and scientist who developed a passion for space-time study while conducting research at the prestigious Air Force Test Flight Center. Anderson now operates the Time Travel Institute.
Gertner adds, Girruths story forces upon us a view of physical reality as a multiverse. Whether you call this the multiverse or 'parallel universes' or 'parallel histories', or 'many histories', or 'many minds' there are now half a dozen or more variants of this idea. Its a film a series - whose time is come. WHAT LIES BENEATH is relevant, its happening all around us and we have a trilogy of films planned to put this in the middle of real public discourse.
Its meaning of life stuff. If you knew that you were born in this world with some kind of mission, and then certain multi-dimensional unseen beings entered into an agreement with folks like us to prevent that destiny from playing out, what would you do? asks Thayer. Id get off the couch and produce films about it. Thats what is being done. We have EVOLUTION OPEN SOURCE, WHAT LIES BENEATH and the Internet IPTV Series WHAT ABOUT BAIRD to start with -- and more is planned.
"I'm sure there will be naysayers who say, 'Oh my God, it's an opportunistic grab at a buck. Unless making money with films is a crime against destiny, we are not opposed to it, says Gertner. But for the naysayers, we are planning a simultaneous three part documentary on the subject What the Bleep style documenting the truth of time travel from the mouths of scientists whose credentials will spill out of your cereal bowl with logarithmic variants.

Special MRI scan could identify stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that affects millions of people. It can lead to potentially disabling or deadly strokes. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine adding motion-tracking software to standard MRI heart scans of 149 men and women with atrial fibrillation. The scans revealed specific changes in the muscles of the left atrium that increased stroke risk in some of the volunteers. These changes were not associated with age or other risk factors for stroke. This could help many people with this condition to avoid taking warfarin or other clot-preventing medications for life. But it is much too early to include MRI as part of the standard evaluation of people with atrial fibrillation — not to mention that such scans would significantly increase the cost of these evaluations. For now, doctors will continue to use standard tools to help determine stroke risk.
Physical therapy as good as surgery and less risky for one type of lower back pain
One type of lower back pain, called lumbar spinal stenosis, can be painful and potentially disabling. An operation known as laminectomy or decompression is sometimes done to ease the pain of lumbar spinal stenosis. Physical therapy can also help. Researchers compared the results of laminectomy to those of a special physical therapy program among nearly 170 Pittsburgh-area men and women with lumbar spinal stenosis. The two approaches worked equally well — pain declined and physical function improved. There were more complications in the surgery group. Since there are no hard and fast rules for choosing the right treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis, the results of this study offer some guidance — try a well-designed physical therapy program first.
Early scans for back pain add cost but offer little benefit for seniors
Older adults with new back pain usually end up getting a CT scan or MRI. That's often a waste of time and money and has little or no effect on the outcome, according to a new study from the University of Washington. The results of the study contradict current guidelines from the American College of Radiology. The guidelines say that it's "appropriate" for doctors to order early MRIs for people ages 70 and older with new-onset back pain, and many doctors do just that. The study, which followed more than 5,200 men and women over the age of 65 who saw a primary care physician for a new bout of back pain, found that people who got early back scans did no better than those who didn't have scans. The scans added about $1,400 per person to the overall cost of back pain care — with no measurable benefit.
This year's flu vaccine "disappointing" against main flu virus
Some years the flu vaccine works quite well. Other years it doesn't. It has done a particularly poor job this year against the main flu virus. The CDC reported yesterday that this year's flu vaccine has been just 18% effective. The estimate for children is even lower. And it looks like the nasal spray vaccine may not have worked at all among children. One reason for this year's mismatch between virus and vaccine is that experts must decide months in advance which of the hundreds of flu viruses to include in the vaccine. What became the dominant flu virus this year, a new strain of H3N2 influenza A, wasn't around last year when experts were determining this year's vaccine.
Millions of adults skip medications due to their high cost
Medications can do wonderful things, from fighting infection to preventing stroke and warding off depression. But medications don't work if they aren't taken. Some people don't take their medications as prescribed because they forget, or are bothered by side effects. A new report from the National Center for Health Statistics shines the light on another reason: nearly 1 in 10 people skip medications because they can't pay for them. Other strategies for saving money on drug costs included asking doctors for lower-cost medications, buying prescription drugs from other countries, and using alternative therapies. Not taking medications as prescribed can cause serious problems. It can lead to unnecessary complications related to a medical condition. It can lead to a bad outcome, like a heart attack or stroke. It can also increase medical costs if hospitalization or other medical interventions are needed. Safe money-saving options include using generic drugs when possible, pill splitting, shopping around, and making lifestyle changes such as exercising more and following a healthier diet, which can sometimes decrease the number and dose of drugs needed.
Some exercise beats none; more is better
The standard recommendation for exercise is at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week. But that may not be the best recommendation for everyone, especially those who are older and have trouble exercising, or those who don't exercise at all. If we think of exercise as a spectrum, with no activity on one end and 150 minutes or more a week on the other end, there's a continuum in between. Getting individuals to move along that continuum, from no exercise to a little, a little to more, and so on, is an important goal. New research on the hazards of sitting for prolonged periods should get all of us to sit less and stand or move more.
People with type 1 diabetes are living longer
Ninety years ago, type 1 diabetes was a death sentence: half of people who developed it died within two years; more than 90% were dead within five years. Thanks to the introduction of insulin therapy in 1922, and numerous advances since then, many people with type 1 diabetes now live into their 50s and beyond. But survival in this group still falls short of that among people without diabetes. A Scottish study published this week in JAMA shows that at the age of 20, individuals with type 1 diabetes on average lived 12 fewer years than 20-year-olds without it. A second study in the same issue of JAMA showed that people with type 1 diabetes with better blood sugar control lived longer than those with poorer blood sugar control.
Full bladder wakes 2 in 3 women at night
Getting up at night to use the bathroom is often thought of as a problem mainly for older men. Not so—two in three women over age 40 wake up at least once each night because of a full bladder. And nearly half of them make two or more nighttime trips to the bathroom. Factors that increased the likelihood that a woman woke at night to urinate included older age, having had a hysterectomy, having hot flashes, and using vaginal estrogen. Many of the women had no other urinary problems, such as an overactive bladder or leaking urine when coughing, and many weren't especially bothered by having to get up at night to urinate. Getting up once or more each night to urinate may not be "bothersome," but it can still cause problems. It can interfere with sleep. It can also lead to falls and injury.
Medicare says it will cover lung cancer scans for long-time smokers
Last spring, an advisory panel for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended that Medicare not cover low-dose CT scans for smokers or former smokers. These scans can double the proportion of lung cancers found at an early stage, while they are still treatable. Yesterday, CMS announced that it would cover the cost of these scans for people between the ages of 55 and 74 who smoke, or who quit within the last 15 years, and who have a smoking history of 30 pack-years. (That means a pack a day for 30 years, two packs a day for 15 years, etc.) The new Medicare plan would cover scans for an estimated 4 million older Americans, at a cost estimated to be more than $9 billion over five years. In a wise addition, Medicare will require smokers to get counseling on quitting or the importance of staying smoke-free before having the annual scan.
Bleeding risk from new blood thinner Pradaxa higher than first reported
The FDA's approval in 2010 of the blood-thinner dabigatran (Pradaxa) got many doctors excited. It was at least as effective as warfarin for preventing stroke-causing blood clots, and possibly caused fewer bleeding side effects. In addition, it is easier to use. Since then, studies of Pradaxa have slightly dampened the enthusiasm for the new drug. For example, a new study from the University of Pittsburgh showed that Pradaxa cause more episodes of serious bleeding (9%) than warfarin (6%). The bleeding sites tended to differ. Bleeding in the stomach and intestines was slightly higher among Pradaxa users. Bleeding in the head was slightly higher among warfarin users. Black patients and those with chronic kidney disease were more likely to bleed from Pradaxa.

SAN DIEGO — A defendant in an attempted murder trial who used a razor blade to slash his attorney's face in front of the jury and a group of high school students will have to serve as his own lawyer when the trial goes forward next week.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Peter Deddeh made the ruling Friday morning after meeting with lawyers in the three-defendant case, including William Burgener, the man who was injured.
Burgener, who had a bandage on the right side of his face, told the judge that he was willing to continue with the trial and deliver his closing argument with assurances that the jury had not been biased against his client.
But after meeting with Burgener and defendant Eduardo Macias in a closed hearing, the judge determined that Burgener had a conflict of interest and should not proceed with the case. The judge said that Macias, 32, had forfeited his right to representation because of the attack.
"He can't benefit from his own wrongdoing," Deddeh said.
The judge appointed Stephen Cline to serve as a standby lawyer for Macias.
Deddeh questioned each of the jurors individually in a closed courtroom to find out what they saw of the Thursday attack and determine whether they could set that aside and decide the case based solely on the evidence presented during the trial.
He then ordered the panel back to court Wednesday, when the trial will resume with closing arguments.
About 10:20 a.m. Thursday, Burgener was cut on the right cheek with the blade that his client had reportedly hidden in his mouth. The lawyer was taken out of the courtroom on a gurney with a bandage wrapped around his head.
Sheriff's deputies subdued the defendant and cleared the courtroom. About a dozen students on a field trip from Grossmont High School were in the room when the slashing occurred.
Burgener told the judge Friday morning that he received stitches to close a 10-centimeter wound near his jaw line.
Cline, who spoke with Burgener by phone after the slashing, said there had been a "breakdown in communication" between Macias and his lawyer before the incident. He said Macias did not believe he could work with Burgener.
"I'm happy to go forward even if Mr. Macias sometimes doesn't cooperate," Burgener said.
Citing the conflict of interest, the judge excused him from the case.
Another defense lawyer in the case, Charles Guthrie, had said he would ask the judge to declare a mistrial after the jurors had been questioned.
Outside the courtroom, Burgener said he had heard of other attacks against lawyers in court but had never experienced anything like that himself. He declined to discuss the particulars of the slashing because of the ongoing investigation.
"It does not happen often in court," he said. "It's unfortunate that it happened to me."
He said he was going to be fine and would go back to work immediately.
Macias and two co-defendants — Geronimo Polina, 35, and Lionel Quinteros, 26, — face charges including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon by a prisoner and conspiracy, stemming from a July 2010 prison attack.
The three men are accused of being members or associates of the Mexican Mafia prison gang.
Deputy District Attorney Hector Jimenez, the prosecutor in the case, said in court Friday that information about the slashing will be referred to the state Attorney General's Office.

I have to say it looks pretty suspicious for oral herpes lesions.HSV is the virus that causes "cold sores". Generally lesions go away within a few days. Taking an oral antiviral medicine ( Zovirax or valtrex) may speed recovery by about 1 day- but does not have a huge impact.
And of course it can recur- sometimes with precipitating events like UV exposure, or stress, or a weakening of the immune system, and sometimes for no reason at all..
Generally once you are infected with the HSV virus, it is always there- although it goes into a dormant phase between outbreaks.
If you do have frequent outbreaks it may be reasonable to talk to your doctor about taking an antiviral medication prophylactically.
While I say this based on the appearance, if you wanted to be absolutely sure, your doctor could do a viral and bacterial culture for confirmation.
I hope this helps. Good luck

John Franklin Candy (October 31, 1950 March 4, 1994) was a Canadian actor and comedian. He came to wide public awareness as a member of the Second City comedy troupe, and its TV series, SCTV. Known for bringing warmth and likability to characters who otherwise would have been incredibly obnoxious, he appeared in such comedies as Stripes, Splash, Cool Runnings, The Great Outdoors, Spaceballs, Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.Candy was born in Newmarket, Ontario, the child of a working-class Roman Catholic family. His first big acting gig was the short-lived, late-night 1976 television talk show Ninety Minutes Live (where he was partnered with future co-star Rick Moranis). That same year he joined the cast of SCTV. In 1980, he moved from the small-screen to the movies. His first film appearance was as a supporting player in Steven Spielberg's 1941, and from there he appeared as Joliet Jake's parole officer in The Blues Brothers in the same year. Candy also had a Saturday Morning Cartoon in the late 1980s called Camp Candy, where he voices himself as a camp counselor to a bunch of misfit kids. Camp Candy is the second cartoon created by an SCTV cast member (after Martin Short's The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley), though Candy's counselor character was not based on a recurring character he did on SCTV.Unusually, many film critics believe that his best performance isn't any of his comedies, but rather is his cold-blooded, hostile performance as Dean Andrews Jr., a shady Southern lawyer in Oliver Stone's JFK.Candy struggled with obesity throughout his adult life, along with the accompanying problems of high blood pressure and diabetes. While filming his last movie (the critically panned Wagons East), he suffered a fatal heart attack while sleeping, and died at age 43. Although the majority of his scenes had been shot, Canadian Bacon was released more than a full year after his passing.In 1998, Candy was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame, and in 2006, Candy became one of the first four entertainers ever honored by Canada Post by being featured on a postage stamp.

AP - Wrong Miss Universe winner Announced
Mon, Dec 21, 2015, 10:37 AM
It was a major faux pas at the end of the Miss Universe pageant. Host Steve Harvey incorrectly announced that Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo, was the winner. He returned to apologize and named Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, the winner. A beaming Gutierrez was smiling and waving until it was announced that Pia Wurtzback, Miss Philippines, was the true winner.

College basketball: West splits games with Vermillion
BRAINERD —Minnesota West Community and Tehnical College split its afternoon of college basketball Saturday in the Central Lakes Classic in Brainerd.
The Lady Jays posted their 10th win of the 2013-14 season with a 71-55 victory over Vermillion. It was their second triumph over the Ironwomen. The men capped the afternoon, losing to Vermillion 95-88 to fall to a record of 9-4.
Both Minnesota West basketball teams host Minnesota State-Fergus Falls on Wednesday night in Worthington.
Lady Jays 71, Vermillion 55
The Lady Jays had a comfortable 20-point lead at halftime and survived a second half lull in downing Vermillion.
Lydia Kemper came off the bench to score 15 points, sharing that mark with both Lindsey Drooger and Kristen Andersen. Tiffany Gehl made it four players in double figures, scoring 14 points in the contest. Drooger crashed the boards for 13 rebounds and Kemper reined in 11. Gehl had nine.
Vermillion guard Lindsey Zeitler came alive for 29 points in the game and Mariah McDonald added 14.
Leading by 20 points at halftime, West shot just 21 percent from the field in the second half, fought a battle of turnovers and let Vermillion back into the game. The Lady Jays led by as little as eight points in the second half before they were able to finish the game on the free throw line and seal the deal, pushing their record to 10-3 on the season.
"It is still a nice win as we get into the division season," Lady Jays coach Mike Fury said. "We need to get ready because this is when they really start counting. You have to be ready to go every night, but especially now. We have a lot of work to do and have to play hard every night."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The tablet operating system wars are heating up once again. In case you missed the new Microsoft ( MSFT) Windows 8 commercial, the 30-second spot takes direct aim at industry leader Apple's ( AAPL) iPad. Microsoft has turned the tables on Apple's iconic "Siri" ads. The ones where famous and not-so-famous people ask their iPhones questions and the mechanical female voice provides almost human responses. In this new ad Microsoft spoofs the original Siri ads and shows what Apple's voice control won't be able to accomplish. In early afternoon trading, Microsoft is off 1.04% to $34.25 while Apple is up 0.35% to $442.88. The commercial not only lets you know that Windows 8 tablets are capable of multi-tasking and doing more than playing chopsticks. It also informs potential customers that Windows 8 tablets can be cheaper than iPads. $449 for a new Asus VivoTab Smart versus $699 for a full-size iPad - both with 64 GB of storage. Yes, it's like comparing apples to oranges (sorry). iOS was created to be a portable operating system made to run on ARM ( ARMH)-based processors. Windows 8 is Microsoft's full-bore OS which runs on Intel ( INTC)-based processors (a dual-core Atom chip in the VivoTab Smart). It's almost an unfair comparison. But when you factor in the price difference you understand why Microsoft is running the ad in the first place. Whether or not the move will translate into increased Windows 8 device sales is a big unknown. The massive popularity of iPads will be very difficult to overcome. Especially when you factor in Microsoft's original strategy to push Windows RT as the natural competitor for iOS. I guess the software giant figured that a cheaper, somewhat useless version of its OS could compete. That didn't happen. Now, with second-generation Windows 8 devices coming to market, prices for systems with the full OS are a lot more competitive. Add to that the fact that we will see an improved version of Windows (both RT and 8) later this year. Just in time for the holiday shopping season.

Meet Christopher Lindley. According to his Facebook profile, he is from Warwick, NY and currently lives in Ecuador. Christopher has two daughters and one granddaughter. He also has his views.
You see, Chris doesn't much like President Obama. I'm sure he would reiterate the tired line, "It's not the man–it's his policies" while angrily debating with some Liberal POS about that Socialist on the throne and the many ways he is destroying America, but his Facebook profile tells it all!
Chris doesn't have many friends, but the ones he does have are subjected to a torrent of Chris's outpourings against that "sand n*gger" in office! It's not just President Obama! Chris actually feels that ALL Liberals are "n*ggers." He also feels that we need to mobilize and respond with force against the "illegal invasion."
I discovered Chris in a thread on Facebook highlighting a few of his posts, accompanied by screenshots of numerous people reporting him to the FBI.
There's something wrong with America, and Chris knows how to fix it! Just kill anyone you don't like!
Like President Obama
Or the Chicago police superintendent!
Or Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy
Or Eddie Vedder
And Undocumented Citizens…
He's None Too fond of Piers Morgan, Either!
Or Muslims
Or "The Gays"
Of Course, All Liberals are "N*ggers," Too!
Let's pay attention to where this gentleman gets his news. Teaparty.org is, I am sure an unbiased entity…
Look, I get that you want to off anyone who doesn't agree with your idiot viewpoints. That's fine. Do it. Try it. See how close you get. I can't wait to see the footage of you getting gunned down while attempting anything you have suggested be done.
Sir, you are a vile, awful excuse for a human being!

The law of supply and demand dictates that a thing's value increases if the demand is greater. The number of bidders raises the price. This year's quarterback class will probably be a further indicator of that, as eight teams have new head coaches, and seven of them are first timers. New coaches like to have new quarterbacks.
I went back to 1980 and looked at all quarterbacks drafted in the first three rounds of a supplemental or regular draft, and how much tenure the coach of the team had. Teams have used a first round pick on a quarterback 71 times since 1980, and just over half of them have been selected by a team with a first year coach. To put that in more perspective, only 20% of all teams during that span were coached by first year coaches.
Looking at it a different way, 19.3% of teams with a new head coach drafted a quarterback in the first round, compared to 7.1% of teams with a second year coach, and 3.5% of teams with a coach with two or more years completed with the franchise. Teams with new head coaches were almost 6 times more likely to draft a QB early.
It seems pretty clear, then, that coaches early in their tenure like to acquire a quarterback (or in some cases more than one) through the draft, but what about the effect of new coaches on others as well? When I ran the correlation coefficient between the number of new coaches, and the total number of quarterbacks drafted in the first two rounds of the draft, it was +0.40. For those that don't remember, correlation coefficient tells us how related two variables are, with a number near zero representing no relationship, and a positive number approaching 1.0 representing a direct relationship. In this case, it's not perfectly aligned (the relative total number of prospects certainly plays some role), but the number of teams with new coaches is related to the number of total quarterbacks selected in the first two rounds of the draft.
We would think that the "supply" end of the equation–the relative number of top quarterback talents in a given year–is completely unrelated to the "demand" portion–the hiring and firing ebbs and flows of NFL teams. Thus, it would appear to me that quarterback draft position can fluctuate greatly based on how many teams, particularly those with new coaches, are wanting to make a splash.
Part of Jimmy Clausen's drop last year into the second round may have been because there just weren't enough bidders-only three teams had new coaches last year. The only other time in the last 20 years that saw only 3 new coaches was 2005–you may remember that as Aaron Rodgers drop in the first round to a team that wouldn't have been in the running for a new quarterback until one fell into their laps.
In addition to the new coaches this year, there is another factor that will drive up the demand in the draft. The labor situation and the potential lockout right as free agency would be starting makes acquiring a quarterback through other forms (free agency or trade) more precarious. Not all new coaches have resorted to the draft for their new quarterback. We've seen Sean Payton come in and sign Drew Brees, and Dick Vermeil traded his initial first round pick in Kansas City for Trent Green, while Mike Holmgren did the same to acquire an unproven Brett Favre from Atlanta. (This is not to suggest that all these moves have been positive, as Saban-Culpepper or Shanahan-McNabb would show).
Blaine Gabbert, Cam Newton, Ryan Mallett, and Jake Locker have all been discussed at various times as first round selections. Mel Kiper dropped both Mallett and Locker off his top 25 recently, and Todd McShay has Locker going 25th, and Mallett not going in the first round in his recent mock draft. I think that is just a sign of the draft silly season starting. Whatever you think of those guys as prospects, know that they fit into the mold of what teams have drafted in the early rounds of a draft in the last 30 years in terms of size and skill set.
You're going to hear alot about teams not being interested in this guy or that one. I'm not buying anything that comes out about these quarterbacks other than what we saw on early boards immediately after the early declaration date. You have to remember that part of these guys' rankings are based on talking to teams, and those teams have no incentive right now to be completely honest in who they are interested in with such a competitive market for quarterbacks. The demand, with the lockout and number of teams looking for a quarterback, is too high, and history has shown us that teams will reach for a quarterback in such a market. I certainly don't see it going the other way, with a precipitous drop like we have seen for some quarterbacks in years when the demand was low. I'll say all four guys go in the first round, and at least one will go much higher than the prognosticators are projecting.

According to the Center for Disease Control, ergonomics is the scientific study of people at work. The goal of ergonomics is to reduce stress and eliminate injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture, and repeated tasks. This is accomplished by designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting, and equipment to fit the employee´s physical capabilities and limitations.
Because the nature of the UVM workplace is so diverse, providing a single guide for designing an ergonomically sound space is simply not feasible. Even within our lab community, the variation in work environments is significant. The checklist provided can be used for some basic assessment as a precursor to a consultation.
The Department of Risk Management & Safety has two Certified Ergonomic Evaluation Specialist. Please feel free to contact email@example.com to schedule a work-site specific consultation.

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Rigel Anderson Report: In an interview with National Public Radio which is set to run Wednesday on "Morning Edition," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., argued that he is not sending "any negative message" in his White House run.
"We're not sending any negative message in our campaign," said McCain. "We're drawing differences in positions between myself and Senator Obama, which are significant. He wants to raise taxes; I want to keep them low. He doesn't want to drill offshore or have nuclear power; I want both. I've never heard Steve Schmidt say we need a negative message in the campaign. …I've run many, many campaigns and I have never believed that we need a strong negative message."
McCain defended the tenor of his campaign when asked about a story in The Wall Street Journal that credited recently elevated advisor Steve Schmidt with the philosophy that campaigns need one positive message about the candidate and one negative message about the opponent.
The Arizona senator argued that he is not sending any negative message even though he is running a series of ads portraying Obama as a lightweight whose fame is undeserving.
When asked if his ad blaming Obama for high gas prices is a negative message, McCain pointed to Obama's vote for the 2005 Bush energy bill which McCain described as having "all kinds of tax breaks and giveaways . . . to the oil companies."
"I believe strongly that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem," said McCain.
Asked if he is comfortable with ads comparing his opponent to Paris Hilton, McCain said, "I'm very comfortable with my campaign and I strongly recommend that people who don't find humor in that: relax, turn off the computer, and go on out and get some fresh air . . ."
McCain also spoke with NPR about the future of U.S. Russia relations.
"I don't think that there's going to be a re-ignition of the Cold War; don't get me wrong," said McCain.
"I don't think there's going to be nuclear-weapons build-ups, etc., but I think that Russian behavior is not acceptable and we will do what we can to maintain our alliances and our friends and make the Russians understand that this kind of behavior is not a part of what we view as the 21st century."
The audio will be posted at approximately 10:00 am ET on Wednesday at www.NPR.org.

: Detangler under $10?
This weekend, I found myself teaching my SIL how to do my niece's hair. While her hair is fairly straight, she gets massive tangles. She's medium to fine, porous, and very dense. Her hair is much more dense than mine. It's about waist length. She's ten.
I had to cut out two mats that wouldn't detangle. I picked up some products for her, got her a detangling comb (SIL had been using a brush) and a satin bonnet.
It took a good half an hour to detangle. I taught my SIL how to section the hair and detangle each section and how to re-wet the new sections since her hair dries so quickly.
I used my Knot Today on her and gave her a bottle to take home. I picked up a Shea Moisture for regular conditioning and a cheap Suave with some silicone for a leave-in. I think some cones might help her.
They can pick up the Suave and SM where they live, but no Kinky Curly. She's not the type to order online.
I'm looking for a reasonably priced detangler (good slip for really tangly porous hair)that can be found at Wal-Mart, Meijer or Walgreens. Thanks!
Microfinance works.
Med/Coarse, porous curly.

Envisioning and Achieving the Microgrid Potential
The demand for microgrids as a strategy for ensuring grid reliability and energy independence is growing -- not only for military applications, but also for campus environments in the commercial, government, health care, education, industrial, and other sectors. Pike Research estimates that distributed energy on campus microgrids will increase by 164% between 2011 and 2017, rising from 620 megawatts to 1.6 gigawatts. In the military arena, spending on microgrids is forecast to increase fourfold by 2020, with Department of Defense expenditures projected to reach $1.6 billion, according to research firm SB Energy.
Microgrids are defined geographic areas in which local power generation, energy storage, and network management allows for disconnection and operation apart from the larger grid. Many feel that microgrids -- coupled with the emerging smart grid -- hold the key for greater integration of renewable energy resources and a more secure energy future.
Microgrid World Forum 2013
is an in-depth, three-day event that carefully examines the latest market drivers, enabling technologies, current deployments, and projected growth of microgrids worldwide. The program is intended to help energy professionals understand the emerging opportunities,and challenges in realizing the potential of microgrids.
How can microgrids be leveraged by utilities to increase grid reliability and load balancing?
What is the growth forecast by sector? What are business models and market drivers?
How will microgrids help achieve the promise of the smart grid? Of renewable energy integration?
What have we learned from current pilots and projects, and how can these be applied broadly?
What are the key technology advances and enabling applications for microgrids worldwide?
Topics to be addressed include:
-- Microgrid business models for campus and remote environments
-- Recent applications in commercial, military, government, health care, and educational institutions
-- Meeting requirements for very high quality power and reliability
-- Integrating solar, wind, CHP, and other distributed renewable energy resources
-- Microgrid interconnection and interaction with the grid
-- Delivering power security and independence in a military environment
-- Reconsidering existing models for energy generation, transmission and distribution
-- Microgrid demand and markets globally, by region
-- Meeting Renewable Portfolio Standards through microgrid deployment

ST. LOUIS-- An unsettled weather pattern has five Midwestern states facing a moderate risk of severe storms on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, warned Monday that portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois are at a heightened risk of severe storms with hail, high winds and possibly tornadoes. The weather service says the tornadoes could be strong, if they occur.
Greg Carvin, lead forecaster for the Storm Prediction Center, says numerous thunderstorms will be fueled by warm, moist air in the upper Midwest.
Localized rainfall may not be too great because the storms will be so fast-moving, but Carvin says the risk of flash flooding exists.
Stay with 10/11 News and 1011weather.com for the latest updates on severe weather in your area.
The American Red Cross is urging residents to make sure households, schools and business are prepared for possible severe weather including rain, strong winds and possible tornadoes.
"Now that many schools in Nebraska and Iowa are on summer break, we encourage parents to take time today to review with children, babysitters and young adults what to do when there is severe weather," said Jill Orton, Region Disaster Officer. "Listen to weather alerts and designate a safe space where people can gather for the duration of the storm. The area should be a basement, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor away from windows."
As with any disaster, preparation can be the difference between life or death. The Red Cross recommends that individuals and families prepare for tornadoes by:
Creating and practicing a Home Tornado Plan: Pick a "safe room" or uncluttered area without windows where family members and pets could seek shelter on the lowest floor possible: a basement, a center hallway, a bathroom or a closet. Putting as many walls between you and the outside provides additional protection.
Assembling a Emergency Preparedness Kit: Kits should contain a first aid kit and essential medications, foods that don't require cooking or refrigeration and manual can opener, bottled water, flashlights and a battery-powered radio with extra batteries and other emergency items for the whole family.
Heeding Storm Warnings: Listen to your local radio and TV stations for updated storm information. A tornado WATCH means a tornado is possible in your area. When a tornado WARNING is issued, go to the safe room you picked to protect yourself from glass and other flying objects. If you are outside, hurry to the basement of a nearby sturdy building. . If you are in a car or mobile home, get out immediately and head to the nearest building for safety. If you are outside and there are no buildings, lie flat in a low lying area or ditch and cover your head with your arms and hands.
Preparing for High Winds: Make trees more wind resistant by removing diseased and damaged limbs, then strategically removing branches so that wind can blow through. Install permanent shutters on your windows and add protection to the outside areas of sliding glass doors. Strengthen garage doors and unreinforced masonry. Move or secure lawn furniture, outdoor decorations or ornaments, trash cans, hanging plants and anything else that can be picked up by wind and become a projectile.
The American Red Cross Tornado App is available in English or Spanish and gives iPhone, iPad and Android smart phone and tablet users instant access to local and real-time information, so they know what to do before, during and after a tornado.
The free app includes a high-pitched siren and "tornado warning!" alert that signals when a NOAA tornado warning has been issued. This feature allows users to make critical decisions and to take actions to help keep themselves and their loved ones safe even in the middle of the night. An "all clear!" alert lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been cancelled.
Other features of the app include:
· Location-based NOAA tornado, severe thunderstorm and flood watch and warning alerts;
· Enhanced weather maps and information provided by Weather Underground, a digital brand of The Weather Company;
· One touch "I'm safe" messaging that allows users to broadcast reassurance to family and friends via social media outlets that they are out of harm's way;
· Preloaded content that gives users instant access to critical action steps, even without mobile connectivity;
· Toolkit with flashlight, strobe light and audible alarm; and
· Locations of open Red Cross shelters.
"If a tornado is threatening your area, listen for alerts and warnings, grab your emergency preparedness kit and head to your designated safe area," Orton added. "Be prepared to evacuate if necessary."
The Tornado App, along with other apps, can be found in the Apply App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross or by going to redcross.org/mobileapps. People can go to redcross.org/tornado for more safety tips.

The "sticky note of good things to come" is now up at the Apple store.
Generally Apple puts this image up in the hours preceding major product additions. Doing so gives them time to make product page additions and adjustments. It also generally marks the beginning of unrelenting Apple fanboyism and speculation on what exactly they could be adding to their store.
Patience young grasshoppers.

Direct Sales went through important changes in the United States. It first began with Yankee peddlers selling their goods to the colonies. When new business forms developed, peddling declined, and retail outlets came into existence. However, manufacturers were not satisfied with this retail form of business, so they introduced direct sales into their sales force to promote their goods.
The men involved in direct sales were very organized, and they believed they could compete with the retail market, as retail establishments were incapable of providing adequate services and also could not provide good quality. Direct selling took over the retail market on the basis of their product advantages, convenience to the customer, and because they had specialized knowledge of their distributors. Many existing direct sales organizations, including the giant Avon Products, trace their origins from the late nineteenth century.
Direct selling benefits individuals who desire an opportunity to earn an income and also build their own business, and it benefits customers who seek an alternative to regular shopping methods. It also offers an alternative mode of earning to those who want to increase their household income, or to those whose circumstances don't allow them to have a regular part time or full time job. Direct selling companies market their products through the person-to-person method, away from retail locations, through a network of independent sales people.
Some common types of direct selling methods are telemarketing, direct mail, and direct response.
Direct selling companies include two types: Single level marketing (SLM) or Multilevel marketing (MLM).
Direct selling is an art - you have to master it with a lot of dedication. If you want to be successful in this art, you must be humble, sincere, outgoing, persistent and honest, as these are the keys of a successful salesperson. A good sales person should not be afraid to talk to anyone to get him or her interested in the product.
No one is born a top selling agent or consultant. To be a success in sales, you must learn not only the basic techniques, but also the way these should be applied. It takes consistent effort, vision and also focus. As they say, when you love what you do you will never lose interest; this applies to direct sales. You must believe in what you are selling and be passionate about it, so that your customers feel your excitement and are in turn enthused. By truly caring about your consumer's best interests, you will be able to succeed in direct sales, and build a group of loyal, lifetime clients.

New Players in Energy Trading
You'd be hard-pressed to find a villain as universally loathed as the energy trader. The sector's sham deals and price-gouging have hurt investors, damaged the power industry, and forced some giants of trading to the brink of bankruptcy. The latest: On Nov. 20, a major investor accused El Paso Corp. (EP ) of inflating profits through bogus trades as recently as August. And on the same day, Swiss bank UBS Warburg said the lackluster market would force it to scale back the energy trading operation it acquired from Enron Corp. in February. Blasts one California consumer advocate: "All traders offered us was manipulation. My position is goodbye and good riddance."
Not so fast. It may be a reviled symbol of boomtime excess, but energy trading is here to stay. As firms such as Dynegy (DYN ) and El Paso turn out the lights on their trading floors, the banks, big oil producers, and insurers are tiptoeing in. Lured by the potential profits to be made in hedging volatile energy prices, new leaders are filling the vacuum left by the failures of the energy sector. In a few years, say analysts, they'll dominate an industry Enron made famous. Says J. Michael Stice, president of ConocoPhillips Gas & Power (COP ), which is beefing up its trading team: "That void has offered us an opportunity."
Mind you, it won't be the frenzied bazaar it once was. There's no going back to days when traders shamelessly pumped up trading volume and a top Enron trader generated $750 million in profits in a single year. Today, Enron is bankrupt and its former rivals are being punished by once-generous creditors for their crushing debt and poor cash flow. The latest blow: On Nov. 26, Moody's Investors Service downgraded El Paso's debt rating to junk.
El Paso is leaving the trading business--and its not alone. Eight of the top 10 electricity traders have either stopped trading or are scaling way back, including former stars like American Electric Power (AEP ), Aquila (ILA ), and Mirant (MIR ). "That part of our business will shrink as our asset base shrinks," says Mirant Chief Executive S. Marce Fuller. Meantime, the number of megawatts traded daily at the Midwestern Cinergy hub, the country's most active power marketplace, has plummeted 70%, to 4,884, from last year, says energy market tracker Platts.
So why doesn't any of this worry the survivors and new arrivals? "We will benefit from having persevered," says Neal Shear, global head of commodities at Morgan Stanley (MWD ), which has been trading energy since the mid 1990s. Other emerging leaders: Goldman Sachs (GS ), Bank of America (BAC ), oil giant ChevronTexaco (CVX ), and insurer American International Group (AIG ). As the industry's credit problems are resolved, these players expect trading volume to tick up. Most trades will likely be short-term deals linked to hard assets such as plants and pipelines, not long-term bets that depend on near-fictional forecasts of future power prices. Much demand is coming from companies needing a mechanism to manage the risk of fluctuating energy prices.
For banks and insurers, their ace in the hole is their solid balance sheets. When trading surged in the late '90s, traders were forced to borrow heavily to back deals. So when business crumbled, they were caught short of cash. With plenty of capital and solid credit ratings, banks have no such worries. Their experience trading in commodities, tight regulatory rules, and internal controls should prevent Enron-style risks, analysts say. And unlike energy firms that touted trading as a growth engine, these diversified giants can wait for a market rebound.
Of course, that won't happen until the system regains credibility. UBS's experience with Enron's trading business is instructive, analysts say: The bank bet too big on a revival of trading and had to scale back.
Indeed, there's no getting around the fact that energy trading remains a risky business. Regulators are tightening rules to force greater disclosure. Meanwhile, deregulation has slowed to a crawl, threatening the outlook for companies hoping to profit from greater competition. Says analyst John E. Olson, chief investment officer of Sanders Morris Harris Inc.: "We're going to see power trading shrink to a shadow of itself." Given how scary the original version was, that might not be a bad thing.
