Improve your SAP performanceUpgrading your SAP applications can provide additional functionality, such as improved business processes, information delivery and business intelligence. You can also stop worrying about the clock running down on support for older versions. Migrating SAP workloads to a more efficient, lower-cost platform — whether on-premise or in a Dell data center — can improve performance and reduce the time and cost of managing SAP applications. However, upgrading or migrating an essential business application such as SAP can be risky. Application downtime can significantly impact business. You also have to ensure secure and complete migration of mission-critical data to the new environment.
Trust Dell to get you there
Dell's SAP Upgrade and Migration Services ensure a fast, smooth process, minimizing risk and downtime while helping you maximize business benefits. Our consultants work in close partnership with you, and manage all aspects of the SAP system upgrades and migration from planning and start-up, through functional development activities to go-live and support.
For SAP migrations, we evaluate legacy modernization needs and new environments side by side to understand needed features and functionalities before developing the most efficient transformation plan. In many instances, we can take advantage of our ZeroIMPACT™ Migration solution, which utilizes our SharePlex™ technology, to further minimize downtime, ensure the protection of your valuable data and eliminate risks during the migration process. Your legacy environment continues running while migration activities take place. All transactions occurring during the migration are captured and queued, and then synced to the migrated system.
And if you are worried about performance in a new environment, you can migrate a subset of your SAP data to a new environment. You can then compare performance in both the legacy and the planned new environments side by side utilizing our Foglight™ technology before moving forward.
Our SAP Upgrade and Migration capabilities include:

What is it about a rockabilly album, where you can look at its tracklist before hearing a single note, and know that you've got a rockabilly record on your hands? (I suppose the same goes for, say, a hip-hop record, recognizable with its creatively spelled tracks, but let me work my theory out.) To wit, the rip-roaring latest from Chicago's Riptones, Slant 6, which features tracks like "Buckshot", "Don't Touch My Hair", "Big Timber", and "El Camino". And while tales of badass classic cars and giant slicked-back pompadours will forever be part of rockabilly lore, there's only so much that can be said about them on every rockabilly album ever recorded. Pardon the hyperbole, but the point is made nevertheless.
God bless the Riptones—guitarist Jeb Bonansigna, bassist Earl Carter, guitarist Michael Krasovech and drummer Perry LaFine—for finding at least one way around the above limitation that halts any number of rockabilly bands: Slant 6 is entirely instrumental (their previous albums all featured Bonansigna on lead vocals). After all this talk about song titles, instrumental tracks don't render song titles moot, however. "Go Be Do" is as up-and-at-'em as its title suggests; Carter's bass paces the song down the musical interstate while Bonansigna puts the pedal to the metal. Needless to say, Slant 6 is the perfect soundtrack for driving a big rig—oops, there's another of those pesky rockabilly stereotypes again. But regardless of the image it conjures up, "Go Be Do" is great fun and only hints at Slant 6's joys.
Elements of surf guitar pop up in "Extra Sauce" (also the title of their 1997 Bloodshot Records debut) and "Close Shave". The latter tune, darker than the former, finds Bonansigna's furious fretwork mimicking a giant wave bearing down on an expert surfer—expert, I'm assuming, because he survives three "close shaves". And, as is the case with many an instrumental tune, the band shouts out the song title a few times between verses. There must be some unwritten rule about title-shouting (the Flat Duo Jets were fans of doing that as well. At the very least, call it a trend of two), because the Riptones do it again on "Nugget". Unlike the rest of Slant 6's tracks, "Nugget" coaxes a bluesy, Southern rock vibe out of Bonansigna's guitar—he makes like the Allman Brothers Band's Derek Trucks—and it's joined by Joshua Quinlan's alto sax and John Pecak's B3 organ. On an album dominated by catchy rockabilly, surf, and country ("Buckshot"—also the title of the band's third album—is a tip of the cap to Rockabilly godfather Buck Owens), "Nugget" stands out as Slant 6's best track.
It's too bad that a lot of instrumental music—and perhaps more so the kind of music in which the Riptones excel—either isn't taken seriously or is relegated to background music at a barbeque. The Riptones may not change those perceptions, but not for lack of trying. Slant 6, honors rockabilly's legacy while expanding upon it.

|Brief Title ICMJE

|Official Title ICMJE
|SNP Panels and Risk Assessment in Women Undergoing Mammography
|Brief Summary
|The primary objective is to compare the predicted lifetime risk values produced by SNP panel assessment to the risk values produced by the prediction models that are most commonly used. A second objective is to examine whether the incorporation of risk assessment panels (standard or SNP based) can improve the positive value of breast biopsies in women with BIRADS 4 mammograms.
|Detailed Description
|Calculating the risk that a woman will develop breast cancer in her lifetime can lead to decreased mortality rates as a result of increased screening and prevention methods when a person is known to be at high risk. Though there are several risk assessment models that are commonly used, it is important to continue to improve the process of calculating risk. Several genetic markers have been noted to potentially indicate risk of developing breast cancer. New tests, called SNP panels, can detect some of these genetic markers. This study aims to use both these SNP panels and the commonly used risk models to calculate risk and examine outcomes in women coming in to do screening mammography. This study will enroll women between the ages of 40-65 who are undergoing screening mammography (n=1000), in addition to women with BIRADS category 4 mammogram readings who are about to undergo biopsy (n=600), all with no personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), mantle radiation, or known BRCA 1/2/mutation in self or family members. The participants will only be expected rto provide consent, swabs of the inside of the cheek of her mouth, and baseline questionnaire answers that will allow for a risk assessment to be performed.

PROJECT TYPE: Historical Renovation
BUILDING TYPE:Church
UNITS AND APPLICATIONS: Infinity Casements
ARCHITECT: Chris Ragus (Torchia Engineering)
DEALER: Rochester Colonial
Dating back to 1827, Third Presbyterian Church was indeed the third Presbyterian congregation in Rochester, NY. The first church was built in 1828, but in 1884 the congregation decided to move out of the downtown area and to the east. It was 1893 when the main sanctuary of Third Presbyterian Church was constructed, and it still stands today. After over a century of ministry, it was determined in 2009 that Third Presbyterian Church was in need of major renovation and restoration. With most of the funding coming from a capital campaign, the restoration project was approved and construction began in February 2010. One of the many items on the project list included replacement of the old steel windows in the Education building that was built in the 1950's. Third Presbyterian Church selected Infinity Replacement Windows made of Ultrex fiberglass for their low maintenance and traditional appeal.
- The permanent church was dedicated in 1893, and after over a century of ministry the major renovation and restoration project started in 2010
- Both Infinity Replacement Windows and Rochester Colonial (installer) had to be approved by the City's Preservation Board

BP, Justice Department Close to Settlement in Deepwater Horizon Case; BP to Plead Guilty of Criminal Misconduct
Well, I think we've figured out how an elite corporation can receive criminal charges in 21st-century America. All you have to do is spill 205.8 million gallons of oil into a US waterway. Then, you're just going to have to cop a criminal misconduct plea, as long as the Justice Department gives you immunity from future suits and wraps up all your negligence in one case.
BP Plc is expected to pay a record U.S. criminal penalty and plead guilty to criminal misconduct in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster through a plea deal reached with the Department of Justice that may be announced as soon as Thursday, according to sources familiar with discussions.
Three sources, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said BP would plead guilty in exchange for a waiver of future prosecution on the charges.
BP confirmed it was in "advanced discussions" with the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).
The talks were about "proposed resolutions of all U.S. federal government criminal and SEC claims against BP in connection with the Deepwater Horizon incident," it said in a statement on Thursday, but added that no final agreements had been reached.
Now, the government could still pursue federal civil claims, but clearly this would take up the bulk of BP's remaining liability. States and private individuals would still have recourse to sue BP, but it has dealt with a large uncapped class action suit that will pay out an estimated $7.8 billion to over 100,000 individuals and businesses. The fact that BP would agree to plead criminal misconduct here could make a difference in new cases, but not the class action.
When we last left these talks in October, reports expected the settlement to come in at between $18 and $21 billion. BP sought a settlement closer to $11 billion in July. So we can judge the final announcement against those figures. It won't take much to become the "largest criminal penalty in US history": that record goes to Pfizer for paying $1.3 billion for marketing fraud in 2009.
The Justice Department was willing to seek a judgment of "gross negligence," and that would have tripled any Clean Water Act fines at trial. The fines, based on the total amount spilled, would then have reached between $21-$25 billion. The government sought this total for the settlement in July, when BP made an opening bid of $11 billion. So the final total should end up somewhere in the middle. But DoJ could still pursue civil charges on top of this.
80% of the money that the government does receive from BP will go to reconstruction efforts in the affected Gulf Coast states, per the recently passed RESTORE Act.
The Justice Department has also accused Transocean, the owner of the Deepwater Horizon well, with gross negligence in the spill. The two sides are in talks on a $1.5 billion settlement on civil and criminal claims. That alone would be the "largest criminal penalty in US history," so people probably shouldn't throw that statistic around when talking about this case.

It's lights out for the Denver Repertory Theatre Company's new space, an 18,000-square-foot warehouse at 2162 Market Street that David and Bonnie Riley leased last November with the idea of putting in two theaters, artist studios and a coffee shop. Unfortunately, a neighbor had something else in mind.
Last month, the couple got a surprise visit from city inspectors who were following up on an anonymous call. What the inspectors found was a dilapidated building that they said was not zoned for the Rileys' project.
Before signing a three-year lease (first two months free), David Riley had checked the building's zoning on the Denver Assessor's Office website, which indicated it was B-8, a designation that would allow all the uses that the Rileys envisioned. But that info was incorrect. "The assessor's records are only about 95 percent accurate," says Julius Zsako, spokesman for Denver's Community Planning and Development department. Turns out that in 1999, the structure's then-owner was granted a Planned Unit Development variance that would accommodate a high-end loft project (which was never built) -- but disallowed any coffee shop or artist studios. And while a theater is still technically okay -- and Denver Rep successfully staged Gin Game in the building in February -- the city has closed the space until the Rileys can sort out the zoning mixup and get a certificate of occupancy.
In the meantime, they've had to rent two stages -- the 1896 Theatre on Tennyson Street and the Playwright Theatre on 17th Avenue -- for Edmond and Starters, two spring shows that had been set for Market Street. And the meter's still running there, too, at $3,500 a month. The Rileys had taken a second mortgage on their home to subsidize their dream, but at this point, Denver Rep is busted. "Every time we go down to the city, we get a longer list of things to do," Riley says. "We spent our last $1,000 on drawings, and now the city says we don't really need those drawings, they want other drawings.... The city is a multi-headed being, and none of the heads talk to each other."
Riley says he's making the best of a bad situation by offering his hard-won expertise to other would-be theater companies: "I've called everyone in town and said, 'If you're thinking about a space, I'll come look at the space and tell what you need to know to get permits, for free. Just buy me a cup of coffee.' I just wish there was some kind of a liaison between the city and the theater community to help prevent some of these mixups."
That liaison already exists, according to Zsako. "We take a look at the address and the zoning for that address and what is allowed," he says. "We're the only city in Colorado that has what we call a 'commercial walk-through counter.' If you're going to do a tenant-finish project that's less than $300,000 and doesn't seem to be too complicated, then you can meet with our engineering staff and discuss your project with them. There is no charge to sign in and ask a few questions and get some advice."
That free advice is too little, too late for the Rileys. Although they're hoping to get out of their Market Street lease, they're not giving up on the theater. "We are not going away ever, even if we have to produce in other theaters' spaces," Riley says. "I always envisioned myself like old Al Brooks and Maxine Munt of the Changing Scene -- living above their theater and being involved into their eighties. This building was going to be so awesome, with two theaters and all of the energy."
Still, the show will go on.
The apes of wrath: There's been more monkey business at Denver Animal Control. No sooner had the facility reunited Jack the monkey -- the pet given thirty days' quarantine after he bit a hotel maid during All-Star Weekend (Off Limits, March 31) -- with his out-of-town owner than nine more furry friends descended. Eight marmosets and one Java macaque, all of which are illegal in Colorado, were impounded after their owners got busted for drugs in Denver; the animals have been sitting at the shelter for several weeks awaiting transport to Arizona, where they're legal. And Animal Control won't be sorry to see them go.
"The marmosets have a 1protective odor,' which makes the aroma of eight of them quite unpleasantly overwhelming," says director Doug Kelley. "I am definitely ready for a monkey lull!"
On the Record
After 22 months, Metropolitan State College of Denver finally has a new president: Stephen Jordan , a Colorado native who's currently president of Eastern Washington University. Being Metro graduates, we here at Off Limits both love and loathe the institution, so we called Jordan to ask him about his plans.
Q: Do you even recognize the Auraria campus, compared to what it looked like when you were a University of Colorado at Denver grad student in the late '70s?
A: I'm actually seeing the evolution of the campus from before it existed to the time I was there -- when students were always having to dodge traffic because the one-ways were the ingress and egress into downtown -- to now, where there is this wonderful, enclosed campus.
Q: In your application, you indicated that curriculum reform was a top priority at EWU. Is that a priority at Metro?
A: This is an area where I need to sit down with the deans and the vice presidents and get a better understanding of the curriculum. But I think it is becoming more and more evident that people are looking for graduates who have skills that come from multiple disciplinary areas.
Q: You canceled a speech by CU professor Ward Churchill for reasons of safety and were criticized by EWU students and faculty. How do you define academic freedom?
A: I'd sure hate to have both my remembrance of my presidency here and my characterization coming into Metro being defined by this one issue. I do think academic freedom is important, and even in that case -- where we were concerned with safety issues -- we tried to find other means for him to make his presentation, such as interactive video, in order to preserve this issue of academic freedom.
Q: You're known for strolling EWU in the evening with your wife. What will you do to create that kind of connection here, since Metro is a commuter campus?
A: I have thought about that, and I don't know that I have an answer yet. What that was about is visibility, and we need to find a way to be visible in this community.
Q: What neighborhood will you buy a house in?
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
A: We're looking at the corridor from LoDo down Speer Boulevard down to Cherry Creek, stopping at Colorado Boulevard. We don't want to get any farther from campus than that.
Q: Now for the most important question: What is your favorite drinking establishment in Denver?
A: I'm probably going to get the name wrong, and it's my favorite for a lot of reasons, going back to the fact that I played rugby for twenty years in Colorado, but the Campus Lounge.

Iraqi police kill gunman as car bomb defused near Kirkuk
U.S. forces in Iraq defused a car bomb on a major oil route, reports said. Late Thursday, U.S. soldiers defused a car bomb on the al-Hawija bridge on a highway used by occupation forces and oil tankers transporting crude from the northern oilfields in Kirkuk to Iraq's biggest refinery in Beiji, said Kirkuk police chief Gen. Turhan Youssef, according to the AP.
Al-Hawija bridge is just south of Kirkuk, which is 250 kilometres north of Baghdad. Youssef said Iraqi police found the car and informed occupation forces. Later, police arrested four people for suspected involvement, he said.
Early on Friday, Iraqi police manning a checkpoint in northern Iraq shot dead one of the six attackers who opened fire at them, police said. According to them, a checkpoint of Iraqi Civil Defence Forces was attacked by six gunmen in Salman Beg, 90 kilometres south of Kirkuk. One attacker was killed and another injured in retaliatory fire, said Gen. Anwar Amin, chief of ICDC in Kirkuk.
Elsewhere, many shopkeepers in Ramadi, a pro-Saddam city west of Baghdad, reported receiving leaflets warning Iraqis to stop working for or with Americans within 10 days or face death. The undated statement was signed by a previously unknown group, "Anbar Mujahedeen Brigade, the Military Unit." Anbar is the province that includes Ramadi.

Sudan, by expelling foreign aid agencies, has created the conditions for "untold misery and suffering" among hundreds of thousands of victims of the six-year-old war in the Darfur region, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday.
Also Tuesday, in a signal of the Obama administration's intention to step up U.S. involvement in the violence-wracked region, President Barack Obama settled on retired Air Force Gen. J. Scott Gration, a close personal friend with long experience on African issues, to be special envoy to Sudan, a senior administration official told The Associated Press.
The formal announcement by Obama and Clinton is being made on Wednesday, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss personnel matters.
Gration, a former combat pilot, was an adviser to Obama during his presidential campaign on a range of military and national security issues. He is also an expert on Africa who was partly raised on the continent and is fluent in Swahili.
He accompanied then-Sen. Obama to Africa in 2006, a visit that included a stop in eastern Chad to see refugees from Darfur. The official said it was on that trip that the two forged a close friendship that has only deepened since. His new post will be effective immediately upon the announcement.
Speaking to reporters at the State Department, Clinton called on Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to reverse his decision to expel the relief groups or, short of that, to replace them with personnel and resources sufficient to address the humanitarian crisis.
"This is a horrendous situation that is going to cause untold misery and suffering for the people of Darfur, particularly those in the refugee camps," Clinton said.
"But the real question is what kind of pressure can be brought to bear on President Bashir and the government in Khartoum to understand that they will be held responsible for every single death that occurs in those camps, because by their expulsion of the aid workers ... they are putting those 1.4 million lives at risk," she said.
In expelling 13 large foreign aid agencies, most of them operating in Darfur, Al-Bashir accused them of spying for an international court that issued an arrest warrant against him on March 4 for war crimes in the western Sudanese region. He also shut down three local aid groups, including one of the largest operating in Darfur.
The U.N. estimates that the decision threatens more than 3 million people with the loss of food aid, health care or suitable drinking water.
Clinton said the blame lies with Al-Bashir and his government.
"They have now assumed an even greater sense of responsibility and infamy in the eyes of the world by turning their backs on these refugees, who they created in the first place," Clinton said.
Sudan's Arab-led government has been battling ethnic African rebels in Darfur since 2003. Up to 300,000 people have been killed, and 2.7 million have been driven from their homes.
The State Department said Tuesday it is consulting with other United Nations member countries in an effort to persuade Sudanese leaders to reverse the expulsion decision.
For now, Sudan's allies on the U.N. Security Council – Russia and China – oppose any sanctions against Sudan. Earlier this month, China, which is a top trading partner with Sudan, teamed with Libya to block a council statement condemning Sudan's expulsion of aid workers.
AP White House correspondent Jennifer Loven contributed to this report.

'Game Of Thrones' Director Just Sank Our Hopes Of Lady Stoneheart!
Wow, what a week! Someone has swung the sword 'Hypeslaye'r hard across the Game of Thrones world of fan-theories. It was bye-bye to Syrio Forel's return, wave ta-ta to Cleganebowl, and Lady Stoneheart has sunk like the proverbial stone in the river. Whilst we are still sure of a gripping final two episodes this year, it is a shame to know that some of our favourite storylines won't play out in Season 6…or probably ever!
The reintroduction of Rory McCann's 'The Hound', as well as Brienne of Tarth's visit to the Riverlands and the inclusion of Brynden Tully, all pointed to a neat little introduction of Lady Stoneheart. Unless you have been living under a 'stone', you will know that she is the reincarnated corpse of Catelyn Stark, hellbent on revenge against Lannister and Frey forces. After the Red Wedding, and having her throat slit, Catelyn's body is dragged from the river and resurrected by Beric Dondarrion and his Brotherhood Without Banners. Lem Lemoncloak may only have had a two episode stint on the show, but actor Jóhannes Haukur was so sure that we will not see Catelyn again, he to read the Stoneheart speech (we should have heard) from his character in the books!
Some still held out hope that a post-credits scene will see the lady rise, but now director Mark Mylod has well and truly slit her throat (again). In an interview with Mylod says that Stoneheart was never on the cards:
You know, [fan discussion doesn't factor in] – certainly not with me. I'm not in the writers room, and I can honestly say, hand over heart, that I have not had one discussion about Lady Stoneheart. So I have no idea what's going on in David and Dan's minds. We tend to speak – there's an old adage about "Play the moment, not the future," and because I'm such a massive fan myself, I'll often get carried away talking or discussing future beats for the characters and then have to pull myself back because of course, in terms of actually playing the reality of the moment, these characters cannot see the future. […]
And I don't mean that as a dodge in this case. I've genuinely had no discussions about Lady Stoneheart, so I genuinely couldn't comment about whether that might or might not be in their minds for the future.
It is important to note that Mylod has only directed two episodes in Season 5, and the two most recent episodes, "The Broken Man" and "No One". Sadly, both these episodes did seem to head towards a Stoneheart plot, so you have to ask yourself the question, "If they aren't going to do it now, when are they going to do it?" With only an estimated 13 episodes left of the ENTIRE show, it is getting less and less likely we will get Momma Stark reunion. White Walkers, Wildfire plots and dragon riders seem to be where the final two seasons of HBO's epic saga is heading *sob*. You have just broken my (stone)heart.

John Williams: Nation facing a threat
November 21, 2011
To the editor:
After attending a moving Veterans Day memorial, I would like to thank veterans past, present and future for their service to our country and our way of life. Thank you.
Let's make sure their sacrifices were not in vain.
Americans need to wake up to the fact that we are facing the greatest threat in our nation's history to our freedoms and way of life.
This comes in the form of socialism and it is being pushed on us from the highest levels of our government up to and especially from Barack Obama.
The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the far left and their socialist agenda is clear.
Recommended Stories For You
Socialists no longer need to run; they need only to vote Democrat on the ballet. The only vision that Barack Obama holds for this great country is that of a socialist welfare state.
One needs only to look at his record, or lack there of, for proof. Look at the OWS loons and their agenda; they give pleasant dreams to despots and dictators everywhere.
It has long been said that socialism comes around the easiest when the masses start asking for it. In their ignorance and hypocrisy that is just what these fools are doing.
They are puppets and not smart enough to see it, they are — nothing more than a social engineering project by the far left.
Consider the following: We have a Democratic Secretary of State with presidential aspirations who is working with the UN on global gun control, with the intention of an end run around the Second Amendment, along with a president who would gleefully sign anything anti-gun.
A government that doesn't trust law-abiding citizens with guns cannot be trusted itself.
A sitting Democratic senator who has publicly stated the news media has an obligation to censor groups like the tea party (this would be your First Amendment, and anyone who disagrees with the left should be censored).
A sitting Democratic congressman who has publicly stated and urges the president to ignore Congress and just do whatever he wants by executive fiat, we the people elected the Congress to represent us (can anyone say dictator?).
A sitting Democratic senator has publicly called for the people to take to the streets (OWS was asked for and provided by the far left). Democratic representatives from some states, rather than do their jobs, run and hide, not for the public service workers as they would have you believe (they don't care about the workers) but for the union dues that provide Democrats a tremendous amount of money.
The NLRB has been stacked by Barack Obama with ex-labor union lawyers to try and control and get as many union workers paying dues as possible so the incestuous relationship between labor unions and the Democratic party can continue, the majority of rank and file union workers are being forced to pay for political candidates and causes that they have no say in and don't support.

Jeep repair saddens me
Just got a call from the shop. Looks like the whole rearend needs enough parts to be called new.
Since I want to get on the Arizona rock this winter, I bit the bullet and had them rebuild it.
What saddens me is that that money could have bought a nice firearm.
I coulda got a RRA LAR PDS 2013 :( for that kinda money.
Went through the same thing with my F150 last month. I had to replace the cull clutch set, rear main seal, the slave cylender, and the clutch pedal bushing. That money was supposed to go to a Winchester carbine in 30\30 for my wife's christmas present. On top of that, I lost out on close to $800 worth of clean out and haul out jobs during the 2 weeks It was down. I feel your pain.
Some automotive accronyms to help ease your pain?
Ford: Fast only rolling downhill, Frequently overhauled rapidly deprciating, Fix or repair daily
Dodge: Drips oil drops grease everywhere, Dad's old dilapidated garage experiment
Chevrolet: Cracked heads every valve rattles oil leaks everytime, Cheap hardly efficient virtually runs on luck every time, Can hear every valve rattle on long extended trips.
Jeep: Just empty every pocket
Fiat: Fix it again tony
NAPA: Ned another part Al.
Mopar: My old pig ain't running, Mostly over powered and raced, Most operational parts are rebuilt.
Hopefully this atleast got a chuckle out of you. Look at the bright side, with most of the rear end rebuilt your trip shoul be problem free. At the very least, you will have one less thing to worry about. Best of luck.

Flash flooding in Prince George's County creates traffic headaches
(WJLA) - Flash flooding in Prince George's County has inundated roads and and yards with water, creating major traffic issues and damaging homes.
The rain came hard, heavy, and so fast that storm drains couldn't keep up.
Charles Fullers said that it was only raining for about 15 minutes before the nightmare started at his house in Riverdale Park:
"I'm 62, I've never seen water come this fast. The next thing I know, my back door downstairs I went to check, and it's filled with water."
And then the deluge filled Kenilworth Avenue with brown water, with drivers of several flooded cars led to safety by firefighters. John Abeh pulled off just in time:
"I was trapped. Very, very scary -- I've never seen this before."
Meanwhile, the mess on Paint Branch Parkway involved two vehicles trapped under the railroad tracks – including one big military vehicle belonging to University of Maryland Police.
"Even a Humvee is not immune to flooded roadways," said Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas.
Experts say that this was the definition of a flash flood, as more than two dozen drivers were stranded in high water in a matter of 30 minutes – not to mention the damage done to homes.
Peter Uwandi's family home in Berwyn Heights is one of a couple dozen flooded by the rain. Once the flood on his street got deeper, it poured down his driveway, across the lawn, and into his brother's room in the basement:
"Everything is gone -- the TV, bed, couches, clothes, shoes, everything..."
Meanwhile, Steven Ruiz shines a light on the murky swamp that used to be his home in Berwyn Heights.
"it's my place of sanctuary...and now it's gone."
The belongings in his basement were destroyed by a rising flood that left a high water mark of debris and had his family looking for escape routes.
"We've had a few floods before but we've never had it raise up to at least our necks. It was really high, we would have to almost swim through it."
And as the water poured in, a man living here had to be pulled out of this window by fire crews, who later went house to house, checking on flood damage.
The area is now a muddy mess, but hours earlier, this yard in Riverdale Park was submerged, with Jo Arnone's partner Fiona posting this picture of her hip-deep in a river running right past their house.
The rain briefly made the couple owners of waterfront property.
A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect in Prince George's County and parts of Washington until 1:45 p.m. Tuesday. Tuesday's rain fell at rates of 1-2 inches per hour in areas of Prince George's County near FedEx Field and College Park. The College Park Volunteer Fire Department said via its Twitter account that it was dealing with numerous water rescues.

Americans For Prosperity Foundation – Friedman Legacy Day
We are seeing the results of School Choice in Indiana. Many parents are taking advantage of vouchers and enrolling their children into private schools. This issue has stirred debate, but we are seeing positive results. School Choice was an issue that Milton Friedman believed in passionately. Yesterday, Americans For Prosperity Foundation celebrated Milton Friedman's legacy by hosting an event in Fort Wayne in his honor.
The program started with Indiana AFP Foundation state director Chase Downham highlighting the success of School Choice in Indiana. He stated choice scholarships have allowed 10,000 children in Indiana to get out of failing schools and into private schools. Downham then introduced Laura Rodriquez, a resident of Fort Wayne who has seen the benefits of School Choice. Ms. Rodriquez has three children who all now attend a private school. She stated this would not be possible without the voucher program we have in Indiana. She stated her children benefit from smaller classroom size and the individual attention they receive from their teachers. She also stated her children have grown and thrived and that she is thankful for School Choice.
The main speaker of the night was Joy Puhlman from the Heartland Institute. She highlighted how Milton Friedman advocated for School Choice. She then told of the benefits of School Choice which include greater freedom for students and parents, higher quality education for students, and lower costs. She then took several questions from the audience which centered on the topics of school choice and common core.
This was a great event highlighting School Choice and I applaud AFP Foundation for hosting. It was a great reminder that children can get out of failing schools so they can receive a quality education. The issue of School Choice has seen broad support from people of all walks of life. When children can get an improved quality of education everyone wins.

Guess secrets aren't really his speed. Vin Diesel confirmed that veteran actor Kurt Russell will be joining him and the rest of the Fast & Furious family for the next installment of the series, Fast & Furious 7, with a post to Facebook on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
The 46-year-old actor shared a studio still of himself, Paul Walker, and Russell to his timeline, noting that it was "such an honor to work with" Russell.
"One from the set," Diesel added, just in case fans were unsure of the origins of the photo. In it, the three men share concerned looks while gathered together in what looks like an auto repair shop.
PHOTOS: Stars who haven't wed - yet!
Russell, 62, has been rumored to be a part of the high-action flick, but his part in Fast 7 was never completely confirmed. The movie is slated for a July 11, 2014 release. The Fast & Furious franchise is still considered one of the most lucrative of all time, with the first five movies in the series bringing in $1.6 billion at the global box office.
PHOTOS: Celeb couples: Then and now
Enjoying life off-camera with longtime love Goldie Hawn, Russell has been largely out of the limelight in recent years, with his last larger role being that of Stuntman Mike in 2007's Grindhouse.

Cribbs, Browns remain at impasse about contract
Published: May 18th, 2009 | Tags: Cleveland Browns, contract, Joshua Cribbs
Joshua Cribbs and the Cleveland Browns still aren't on the same page regarding the kick returner/wide receiver's contract situation, and it likely will keep him out of the team's voluntary minicamp.
John Rickert, Cribbs' agent, told the Akron Beacon Journal that "barring any monumental movement on their part," his client wouldn't attend the Browns' voluntary camp, which begins Tuesday:
- "We're further along than we were to start the day, but we need to see actual progress from them. So far we haven't seen it," Rickert said.
The Browns released the following statement regarding the matter:
"Contrary to published reports this morning, no one from the current Browns organization, including owner Randy Lerner, has ever made any promises to Josh Cribbs with regard to his contract status."
Rickert told the Beacon Journal that Cribbs felt "unappreciated" and that he doesn't necessarily want a new deal, just the team to meet them halfway:
- "We're not even saying, 'Do a new deal.' We're saying, 'Start the process with us.'"
Cribbs signed a six-year extension with the Browns in November of 2006, but he's not happy with his compensation.
Cribbs, an all-purpose threat, has at least one return touchdown in each of his four seasons in the NFL. He went to the Pro Bowl in 2007, and in 2008, he had a rushing, receiving and kick-return touchdown.
In 2008, Cribbs ran the ball 29 times for 167 yards and had two catches for 18 yards. He returned 44 kickoffs for 1,110 yards, or a 25.2 average, and he returned 28 punts for 228 yards, an 8.1 average.

- I was raised, like,very religious Muslim.
We were told,
this is true,
we were--when we were little kids,
we were told that staringat a woman with a lustful gaze
was the same sin
as stabbingthe prophet's nephew
in the back
while he's praying.
Look at a girl,stab the prophet's nephew
in the backwhile he's praying.
So I was terrifiedof women, you know?
And then I saw,I was around ten I remember.
Do you guys rememberthat Cindy Crawford
Diet Pepsi commercialwhere she's wearing
the tight, white tank top
and those hip-hugging jeans,
and she's in the convertible,her hair in the breeze?
Then she gets out, and she walksover to the vending machine,
and she puts in the quarter.
She picks her drink.
Then she pops her--the tab.
And she puts the cylinderto her lips.
I remember thinking,
I am stabbing the fuck
out of the prophet's nephewright now.
At that age though,I didn't know what sex was.
Like, I would not even
know what I would do if I wasin a room alone with Cindy.
Just, like, squeeze her mole,you know, like--
That soundsawesome today actually.
But then all that,
uh, innocence disappearswhen my cousin
gives me a videotape.
Yeah, and I'm like,
"Oh, that's whatI would do to her."
It's a porn.I don't know if you guys--
And it was too earlyfor me to see porn.
Like, my bodywasn't ready.
I put it in.I watched it for 30 seconds.
I pulled it out.
I had a feverfor three days.
I promised GodI would never watch it again.
And thena couple weeks later,
I got curious.
I was like, "Well, I didn'treally give it a chance,
"did I?
What is the motivationof these characters?"
And then I put it back in,
and then you couldn'tfucking stop me.
Which iswhere I still am today.
