Rangers-mania? Not like previous years, but fans hoping for a win
Posted on October 4, 2012 at 10:58 PM
The scene at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington to buy tickets for the Texas Rangers' wild card playoff game looked a bit gloomy Thursday morning. Tickets were still available Thursday night to see the wild card playoff game on Friday night.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe made the most of a chaotic QB situation. Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5, Bowe had six catches for 60 yards and led the team with eight targets. He also had a touchdown pass called back by an iffy offensive pass interference call. The Chiefs went on to lose 9-6.
Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs all but abandoned the passing game in a bizarre gameplan, running the ball 50 times to just 18 passing attempts. The reason for this is obvious - the team has zero confidence in Matt Cassel. Brady Quinn came in after a Cassel injury and gave the offense a pulse, including the TD pass that wasn't. KC's offense is a complete mess right now, and Bowe and Jamaal Charles remain the only safe fantasy options here. Bowe has a great matchup against the Bucs secondary next week.

The Dallas Cowboys thought they had it. It looked for sure like Dez Bryant caught a last-minute touchdown pass from Tony Romo to give the Cowboys a comeback win over the Giants. Alas, it was not to be. An official review confirmed that Bryant's right hand landed out of bounds, making it an incomplete pass. The reactions from Romo and his receiver pretty much summed up the game for the Cowboys, summed up the season really.
Yeah, they know what's happening here, watching it on the giant video board inside Jerry World makes it pretty hard to miss. Don't strain your necks there, fellas.
Romo gave a distinctly Romo-esque look after learning the news, a look that kind of says all you need to know about his season and the tough times in Dallas.
What say you Romo?
Yeah, sad Romo is sad ... the 100,000 or so fans sitting inside Cowboys Stadium probably felt the same way.

Neutron external sanity checks
Recently, a new helper script was added to neutron to facilitate testing whether or not a running system supports all of the Neutron configuration options that have been enabled. Before this script, ad hoc code kept being added to Neutron to check component version numbers at runtime. Due to the increasing number of features added and the brittleness inherent in testing version numbers for feature availability, this functionality was moved into an external check that could be run once at deployment time and specifically test for system suitability by trying to use the required features. For example, if VXLAN tunnels are enabled, the script can be run to verify that the installed version of Open vSwitch is capable of creating VXLAN ports by actually trying to create the port and removing it.
Checks can be run either by passing CLI arguments to test a system for specific feature support, or by passing in config files from the system and automatically testing each of the enabled features covered by the test script.
For example, to test specifically for Open vSwitch VXLAN support from the CLI:
neutron-sanity-check —ovs-vxlan
To run all tests that map to enabled configuration options, pass in the config-file options for each of the configs to be tested. For example:
neutron-sanity-check —config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf —config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
Adding new tests
To add a new test, first define the option in neutron/cmd/sanity_check.py in the OPTS variable using the existing options as a guide. The BoolOptCallback is just like a standard BoolOpt, but also allows you to pass a callback function which actually defines the test that should be run by the script.
BoolOptCallback('ovs_vxlan', check_ovs_vxlan, default=False,
help=_('Check for vxlan support')),
Next, add a check to enable_tests_from_config() to override the CLI option for the test defined in OPTS to True based on applicable config values.
For example:
if 'vxlan' in cfg.CONF.AGENT.tunnel_types:
cfg.CONF.set_override('ovs_vxlan', True)
Next, add the new test to neutron/cmd/sanity/checks.py. Tests should test the actual feature required and not rely on version numbers. Tests should also return the system state to the way it was before the test was run. Return value should be True for passing, False for failing.
For example:
def vxlan_supported(root_helper, from_ip='192.0.2.1', to_ip='192.0.2.2'):
name = "vxlantest-" + utils.get_random_string(6)
with ovs_lib.OVSBridge(name, root_helper) as br:
port = br.add_tunnel_port(from_ip, to_ip, const.TYPE_VXLAN)
return port != ovs_const.INVALID_OFPORT
Next, go back to neutron/cmd/sanity_check.py and add the callback function that was defined in OPTS. This function should take no arguments and should log a helpful error message on failure. If testing via config options is supported, it should use the cfg.CONF option that the test depends on. The return value should be True for passing, False for failing. The reason this function is separate from the neutron/cmd/sanity/checks.py version is that the tests in sanity_check.py must all have the same arguments and generally will use values from cfg.CONF, whereas for testing purposes other argument values may be necessary.
def check_ovs_vxlan():
result = checks.vxlan_supported(root_helper=cfg.CONF.AGENT.root_helper)
if not result:
LOG.error(_('Check for Open vSwitch VXLAN support failed. '
'Please ensure that the version of openvswitch '
'being used has VXLAN support.'))
return result
Finally, define a functional test in neutron/tests/functional/sanity/test_ovs_sanity.py which ensures that they defined check function runs through to completion. This will alert developers if an API change is made that breaks the sanity check functions. For example:
def test_ovs_vxlan_support_runs(self):
"""This test just ensures that the test in neutron-sanity-check
can run through without error, without mocking anything out

Rod Hood - #26 - CB
|5' 11"/ 198 lbs.
|Columbus, GA
|Years played
2011 free-agent tracker, by position
Follow the movement of the 2011 free agents in this list, broken down by position.
Hood tore his ACL on Friday and is expected to be out for the rest of the upcoming season.||||||| Hood was a starter for Arizona's NFC championship team before signing with the Browns, who released him Aug. 31. He was signed by the Bears on Sept. 1 then cut four days later before landing in Tennessee on Oct. 15. He finished with 10 tackles and three interceptions in six games for the Titans.
Hood, a starter for Arizona in last season's Super Bowl, has been released by the Cleveland Browns.||||||| Hood made 14 starts last season for the Cardinals, who released him in April. The Browns signed him as a free agent in May. He had been rotating at cornerback, but was beaten on a touchdown pass in Saturday night's win over Tennessee.
The Cleveland Browns have signed Hood, a starter for Arizona in last season's Super Bowl.||||||| Hood spent the past two seasons with the Cardinals. He started 14 games last season, recording 40 tackles and one interception. He also played on special teams and blocked a field goal and returned it 68 yards for a touchdown. He had five interceptions in 2007.
In a move to clear salary cap space, the Cardinals released Hood on Tuesday. The cornerback appeared in 31 games, 30 as a starter, since signing with Arizona as a free agent in 2007. He had 105 tackles and six interceptions. The Cardinals added a cornerback in free agency by signing Bryant McFadden, then drafted Greg Toler out of tiny St. Paul's College of Virginia in the fourth round on Sunday.||||||| The Cardinals also released veteran running back Edgerrin James and defensive end Travis LaBoy. The three players were to have made $10 million next season, but because of the $7.5 million signing bonus given to LaBoy a year ago, the cap savings will be several million dollars less than what the three would have earned. Arizona is expected to sign new deals with linebacker Karlos Dansby, safety Adrian Wilson and possibly unhappy receiver Anquan Boldin.
Hood signed a five-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.||||||| The 25-year-old Hood played for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, but missed six games because of injuries. He had 18 tackles and one sack. Hood signed as a rookie free agent with the Eagles in 2003 out of Auburn. In 56 games with the Eagles, he collected 98 tackles, five interceptions, four fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. He's also returned kickoffs 53 times for 1,236 yards, an average of 23 yards per attempt, and made 40 special teams tackles.

SHELBURNE-The current economic crisis was on everyone's mind as the members of the board of directors of Shelburne Charlotte Hinesburg Interfaith Projects (SCHIP) considered 18 requests for grants from the fund created through the sale of good used clothing and homegoods.
SCHIP received requests for over $30,000 in grants in time for the Jan. 30 deadline, but concern about harder times to come influenced them to judge carefully and exercise caution. Board chair Patricia Nestork of Charlotte summed up the concern of the 20-person board saying, "We're being careful. We're anticipating a hard spring."
Grants were made for a total of $21,450, some to organizations or agencies that provide service to residents of all three towns of Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg, such as the Home to School Outreach program at Champlain Valley Union High School, and some to local food shelves and pastors' discretionary funds.
Among the projects that received support from SCHIP in the first of three grant cycles for 2009 were nursery school tuition assistance for economically disadvantaged families, summer camp scholarships for needy youngsters, funds to pay for food for a summer camp that provides meals and recreational activities for K-8 children who would qualify for free or reduced lunch during the school year, a training program for foster and adoptive families, a sewing project that makes useful items for the elderly and handicapped, a knitting project that makes shawls and lap robes, and a team building end-of-year activity for a mentoring program. Size of grants ranged from $500 to $2,500.
Before the current round of grant making, SCHIP had given a total of almost $150,000 since they first began making grants in April 2005. The mission of SCHIP, which was formed in 2003 by ten faith communities in the three towns, is to work together to raise funds for grants to improve the lives of neighbors and strengthen the communities. Funds are raised through the operation of SCHIP's Treasure Resale Shop in Shelburne Village where donated good used clothing and household items are sold. The shop is operated by a small paid staff and many volunteers.
The next grant deadline will be the last day of May. Grant information and forms can be picked up at SCHIP's Treasure Resale Shop, 5404 Shelburne Rd. in Shelburne, or at the offices of the town clerks in Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg.

text: DSpace Community: http://hdl.handle.net/10386/57 2014-09-01T14:54:46Z An assessment of the need for pharmaceutical care in a general surgical ward at Steve Biko Accademic Hospital in Gauteng Province http://hdl.handle.net/10386/1097 Title: An assessment of the need for pharmaceutical care in a general surgical ward at Steve Biko Accademic Hospital in Gauteng Province Authors: Pretorious, Georgina. Abstract: Summary Summary Summary The words "researcher" and "pharmacist" are used interchangeably. In the last two decades, the role of the pharmacist has been expanding beyond product orientated functions, such as procurement, stock control and dispensing, towards patient centered functions, in which the pharmacist assumes responsibility for treatment outcomes as part of the health care team. This research aimed to assess the need for the provision of pharmaceutical care from the pharmacist to the surgical wards of Steve Biko Academic Hospital. The objectives of the study were to determine the role of the pharmacist in the general surgical wards, to assist in the design of an antimicrobial ward protocol for the surgical wards, to record and assess antimicrobial patterns in the surgical wards, to describe and categorize the interventions performed by a pharmacist during the provision of pharmaceutical care, to identify factors which limited the provision of pharmaceutical care and provide recommendations for future undertakings, to calculate the cost implications of pharmaceutical care interventions made, to assess the time spent on interventions performed by a pharmacist during the provision of pharmaceutical care and to determine if the medical staff members in the surgical unit feel there is a need for the pharmacist providing pharmaceutical services to the wards. The study was conducted in the surgical wards of Steve Biko Academic Hospital. The study design was a cross-sectional operational study in which 62 patients were recruited over the eight week period. A pilot study was conducted to validate the data collection instruments. The data was analyzed with the assistance of a statistician using various statistical methods for the different variables in the study. ix Of the 62 study patients, 33 were female and 29 were male. The female-to-male ratio of the study patients was thus 1:0.88. The average age of the patient population, was 52.5 ± 17.2 years, with a range of 15 to 88 years. The mean duration of stay for the study patients was 8.9 days, with a range 1 to 111 days. A total of 120 diagnoses were made for the 62 study patients. Conditions diagnosed most frequently included conditions affecting the gastro-intestinal tract (38 patients), conditions affecting the cardiovascular system (28 patients), conditions affecting the endocrine system (14 patients) and infections (12 patients). The five medicines used most frequently in terms of numbers of patients and duration of therapy were paracetamol (53 patients, 277 patient-days), morphine/papaverine/codeine (41 patients, 155 patient-days), enoxaparin sodium (24 patients, 113 patient-days), co-amoxiclav (21 patients, 101 patient-days) and metoclopramide (22 patients, 90 patient-days). A total 188 interventions were made and documented during the study period and 153 (81.4%) interventions were accepted. The number of interventions suggested ranged from 0 to 10, with an average of three interventions per patient and a median of one intervention per patient. The most frequent interventions were made due to system error or non-compliance (29.3% of all interventions), on patient or nursing staffs' knowledge of the medication (18.6%), untreated medical conditions (11.2%), therapeutic duplications (9.0%) and on prescribed doses and dosing frequency (5.9%). The total time spent providing pharmaceutical care services within the surgical wards over the study period was 32 days (227.9 hours) with an average time of 7.1 hours per day. Of the total time in the ward, 48% was spent on providing pharmaceutical care to the patients, 26% to record and access the total antibiotic usage in the ward, 9% on administration and 6% on meetings. Other functions comprising of 3% and less of the time was information to patients, x communication with doctors, educational sessions with nursing staff, communication with the pharmacy and stock control procedures. Questionnaires were completed by the doctors and nursing staff before and after the study period to determine if they felt there was a need for a pharmacist in the surgical ward. The doctors felt that there was a need for a pharmacist in the ward in terms of providing information and assisting in the rational use of medication. All of the nursing staff felt that there was a need for a pharmacist to visit the surgical ward and specifically to assist with the legal aspects of the prescriptions and with the education of the nursing staff. The pharmacist played an important role in the design of an antimicrobial ward protocol and in order to do so the pharmacist recorded and assessed the antimicrobial prescribing patterns of the surgical wards. In conclusion, the pharmacist present in the ward functioned as a gateway between the nursing staff and the doctors. The interventions that require the most attention was made due to system error and non-compliance. Important interventions were made on the patients' and nursing staffs' knowledge of the prescribed medication. The pharmacist played an important role in the education of nursing staff to discuss relevant topics and problems often encountered. Educational sessions with the patients involved giving them advice on home medication and the medication prescribed to them to take home. The amount of patients seen per week increased with time and the average time spent per patient consultation decreased with time. This is a clear indication that the researcher gained confidence and became more familiar with the pharmaceutical care process as the time passed. From the questionnaires completed by the doctors and nursing staff it was clear that they felt that there was a need for a pharmacist in the ward in terms of xi providing information, assisting in the rational use of medication, to assist with the legal aspects of the prescriptions and with the education of the nursing staff.

Abstract: No Summary Description: Thesis (MPH) -- University of Limpopo, 2012. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Knowledge, attitude and practices regarding HIV/ AIDS among dental students at Medunsa Oral Health centre http://hdl.handle.net/10386/1093 Title: Knowledge, attitude and practices regarding HIV/ AIDS among dental students at Medunsa Oral Health centre Authors: Galane, Mpatikana Leslie Abstract: Background: The HIV pandemic continues to be a major public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa where 22.5 million people were infected with HIV in 2009 and South Africa remains one amongst the countries with the highest HIV epidemic. The number of HIV-positive and AIDS patients is increasing annually and there are no specialised oral health institutions that provide oral health care to HIV/AIDS patients. HIV and AIDS continues to have profound impact on all health training and education (Medical, Dentistry, Nursing etc.) and clinical care, hence it is crucial for all the health care students to be educated about HIV/AIDS disease. Dental student's knowledge about HIV/AIDS, attitudes towards HIV-positive patients and infection control practices are of importance as they are the future oral health care providers. The Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of third, fourth and fifth year dental students on HIV-positive and AIDS patients at the Medunsa Oral Health Centre (MOHC). Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 139 dental students at MOHC using a self administered questionaire with 30 closedended questions. T-test, one-way Anova (analysis of variance), multiple regressions and Pearson's correlation were applied by Stata IC/10 to assess, determine and describe the knowledge, attitude and infection control practices of third, fourth and fifth year dental students, respectively and also find an association between demographic variables, knowledge, attitudes and practices. Results: The response rate was 86% (120/139), 33 of third year, 47 of fourth year and 40 of fifth year dental students. Gender was statistically significant towards knowledge and females were more knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS as compared to males (p=0.058). However, almost (98.3%) all dental students were not sure "HIV increases other infections, including oral infections as well". More than half (53.1%) of third year dental students were not sure "persistent generalised lymphadenopathy vi is associated with stage 2 of HIV infection". In this study, ethnic groups and level of study (BDS4 & BDS5) were found to be significant predictors of attitude regarding HIV-positive patients (p=0.001) (p=0.055) (p=0.001). Practice was found to be a significant predictor of knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS (p=0.046). Pearson's correlation coefficient showed students with positive attitude scores had significantly excellent practice regarding HIV/AIDS (r=0.2912) (p=0.001). Good knowledge translates into excellent infection control practices, whilst positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients yield excellent infection control practices. Conclusion: The dental students at MOHC relatively have a good understanding of HIV/AIDS (particularly the mode of transmission) but to lesser extent, disease progress and oral manifestation. The lack of knowledge on HIV/AIDS and inconsistency regarding certain infection control procedures may be a reflection of insufficient HIV/AIDS teaching and clinical supervision of students in the wards. There is a need to improve the current dental curriculum by including HIV/AIDS module and incorporate a clinical component of dental screening at the ARV clinics. Description: Thesis (MPH) -- University of Limpopo, 2012. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Soft drink consumption among grade 11 and grade 12 learners at a secondary school in Gauteng, South Africa http://hdl.handle.net/10386/1085 Title: Soft drink consumption among grade 11 and grade 12 learners at a secondary school in Gauteng, South Africa Authors: Rajan, Amy Abstract: Background: Over the last few decades, soft drink consumption has been steadily increasing especially at an alarming rate among adolescents. Soft drinks have been associated with positive energy intake. An unhealthy diet along with a lack of physical activity is a major risk factor for health problems like overweight and obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Children and adolescents are becoming very susceptible to the development of NCDs due to an increase in consumption of heavily processed and highly caloric foods, leading to early onset of morbidity. Aim of the study: To investigate soft drink consumption among grade 11 and 12 learners at a secondary school in Gauteng, South Africa Methods: A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted among 382 learners (grade 11 and 12) of Liverpool secondary school. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. STATA version 10 was used for data entry and analysis. Results: All learners who participated in the survey reported that they consumed soft drinks over the past 12 months. Out of the 382 learners, only 55 (14.4%) were non-frequent consumers. Carbonated drinks were the most commonly consumed (73.6%). Factors such as frequent snacking (p=0.042), frequent fast food consumption (p=0.001) and easy availability of soft drinks (p=0.00) positively influenced the consumption of soft drinks. Over 55% of the learners had very poor knowledge about the health effects caused by increased consumption of soft drinks. Conclusion: In line with the high consumption of soft drinks, the level of awareness of the health effects of these unhealthy dietary practices among the learners in this study is very poor. Interventions to improve good or healthy dietary habits have to be started both at the home and school level. Description: Thesis (MPH) -- University of Limpopo, 2012. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

"It's high time to amend the Fair Housing Act to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity as well as source of income."
NATIONAL FAIR HOUSING ALLIANCE – Believe it or not, housing discrimination against gays, lesbians, transgenders and the poor remains legal in most states.
The National Fair Housing Alliance's (NFHA) "2013 Fair Housing Trends Report: Modernizing the Fair Housing Act for the 21st Century" highlights the need to amend the federal Fair Housing Act to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, source of income, and marital status.
The report finds a rise in the number of housing discrimination complaints filed by individuals and families with a marked spike in harassment complaints. Harassment complaints were up 35 percent from last year's numbers and include complaints because of race, national origin, disability, sex, and having children in the home. Included in the report are harassment and other complaints from Louisiana, New York, Ohio, Texas, and other states.
A total of 28,519 complaints were investigated in 2012 by private non-profit fair housing organizations, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of Justice, and state and local government agencies such as state civil rights commissions. HUD estimates that this already high number represents less than one percent of the approximately four million acts of housing discrimination each year against current populations protected by federal law.
The report found:
- Harassment complaints increased by 35 percent
- Almost 30,000 housing discrimination complaints nationwide in 2012 (out an of estimated four million incidents each year)
- Private, nonprofit fair housing organizations investigated 69 percent of all complaints
- Housing discrimination because of source of income is still legal in 37 states
- Housing discrimination because of sexual orientation is still legal in 38 states, and because of gender identity in 44 states
Spike in complaints by people not protected under federal fair housing law:
- Source of income up 38 percent
- Sexual orientation up 43 percent
- Marital status up 63 percent
- Gender identity and expression complaints reported for the first time
"It's high time to amend the Fair Housing Act to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity as well as source of income," said Shanna L. Smith, NFHA's President and CEO.
"The Fair Housing Act has been amended over the years to adapt to changing times. It's time for the federal government to catch up with the states doing the right thing and to protect all people from housing discrimination," she added.
Housing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people is still legal in most states. 22 states and the District of Columbia protect against housing discrimination based on sexual orientation; 16 states and the District have protections for gender identity.
Landlords and other housing providers in 38 states can still discriminate against a family simply because of their source of income, even if they can afford the home. Legal source of income can come from alimony, child support, government assistance from Veterans Affairs and HUD, and many other sources. This discrimination hits low-income people the hardest; the worst hit are low-income women and families, people of color, and people with disabilities.
"If a family qualifies for an apartment and can pay for it, they should get it," said Smith.
"It's simple economics. Today marks the 45th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act passed on April 11, 1968, one week to the day after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Dr. King knew that poverty was the next frontier to fight when he began his Poor People's Campaign at the end of his life. Congress should honor the memory of Dr. King and modernize the Fair Housing Act for the 21st century," Smith also said.

In 2010, he was arrested and charged with burglary and criminal trespass after being accused of stealing money and jewelry from a home in Georgia.

catholiccharitiesusa.org — Looking to Adopt? Adoption is a complex process, legally and emotionally. Regulations vary by state, and for international adoptions by country. In addition there are Federal Laws that also impact adoption. We are here to help you thoroughly understand the different options you have. Find an agency now. All adoptions require a home study which is an assessment of the adoptive parents. This includes background checks (fingerprints, child abuse clearances and in some states drivers license records), current medical reports, financial records (tax returns and current pay stubs), personal references, a series of interviews at the agency and a home visit , on-going adoption education and an assessment of the applicants parenting skills and capabilities. The goal is to assist the family in identifying the type of child to be adopted (medical background, special needs, age, race, ethnicity, sibling groups) and the type of adoption best suited for their family- domestic, international or foster care. Our member agencies are well prepared to conduct the home study and provide adoption education. We can also assist you through referrals for domestic, international and foster care placements. Getting started- call your local Catholic Charities Agency today or visit our Site Map for Catholic Charities Adoption Agencies in your state. Pregnant? Coping with an unintended pregnancy begins with knowing your options and finding support as you face difficult decisions. Catholic Charities Are Here to Help The issues surrounding pregnancy and adoption can sometimes be confusing, and that's why Catholic Charities are here to help. At Catholic Charities we truly care about expectant mothers, couples, and their families. During your pregnancy you experience many emotions. You may feel frightened and alone, intense sorrow and pain. Perhaps you feel anger toward family members and friends who don't understand or support you. These are all normal feelings, but overwhelming emotions can result in sleeplessness, pain, stress and even panic. It is important to realize that these feelings are all part of the process, and that there will come a time when you will feel better. "Giving my little angel for adoption was the hardest thing I've ever done. But knowing that the family will let me be a part of their lives has made it easier to move on." - Erica

This past weekend UFC counter programmed Strikeforce with "Ultimate Fights" and it worked. Strikeforce Heavy Artillery had 308,000 viewers tune in to their Showtime broadcast. The UFC's "Ultimate Fights" special more than doubled that number with 894,000 viewers.
Showtime is available in 12 million homes, where as Spike is televised in 98.6 million homes. The numbers have not been to great for Strikeforce lately. The Strikeforce Miami event drew in 517,000 viewers with Nick Diaz, Bobby Lashley, Cyborg Santos, and Herschel Walker. Strikeforce Evolution drew 341,000 viewers with the Melendez vs Thomson and Cung Le vs Scott Smith bouts. I think if Strikeforce wants to compete they need to get away from showtime, their CBS events have done between 3 and 5 million viewers.

Run from the surge, hide from the winds.
This page details areas that will be at high risk during a hurricane landfall. It is very important to note that each storm is different and the areas under evacuation orders may be adjusted. The reason we evacuate certain areas is to get people away from places where storm surge ocean flooding will occur. People who do not live in the storm surge area (insert map link) and who live in a well constructed (built after 2000) home should consider staying.
It is very important to note that the exact areas to be evacuated for an approaching hurricane will depend on the strength of the storm, where it is coming from, and the forward speed. Any location east of I-95 and all mobile and manufactured homes anywhere in Flagler County can face evacuation orders. There also may be a need to evacuate flood prone or low lying areas on or near standing or moving waterways, canals, or other bodies of water.
If you want to know if you live in an area that might be effected by storm surge, please call the Flagler County Emergency Operations Center at (386) 313-4200 or send an email to email@example.com.
Should I stay or leave? We recommend the following steps in making an evacuation decision:
It is extremely important to have an emergency plan BEFORE a storm threatens.
Make your plan NOW.
Tips if you plan to stay:
Only plan to ride out the storm IF you live outside the evacuation zone and live in a sturdy well built home. Riding out the storm inland is safer than being caught in your vehicle in hurricane conditions.
Prepare your home: If possible board up or shutter windows and brace garage doors. Make sure you have your disaster supply kit ready (see Disaster Preparedness Guide page 6 for more information on preparing a kit).
Designate a safe room to ride out the storm: This room can be a small interior closet, bathroom, or any room in the interior of your home without windows. This is where you will go to ride out the worst part of the storm. Have a mattress or pillows handy to shield your family should conditions become severe.
Evacuation Tips:
If you plan to leave the region,
If you plan on a long distance evacuation, you must do so BEFORE the Hurricane Warnings are issued. Before leaving make sure you have an alternate route to get there. Do not count on available hotel rooms. Call ahead and make a reservation or stay with someone you know.
If your plan is to wait until an evacuation order is issued, evacuate LOCALLY. Do not attempt to travel out of the region or the state. Evacuate to a local shelter, hotel, or to someone you know who lives outside of the evacuation zone in a well constructed building.
What if I fail to evacuate? Every person who has defied an evacuation order and rode out a storm in an evacuation zone has said that they would NEVER do it again. You place your own life at risk. High-rise buildings are especially at risk because hurricane winds are much stronger with height. Winds at ground level blowing at 100 mph may be near 160 mph at the 4th or 5th floors. Plus you may become isolated and help will not be able to reach you.
Persons who fail to evacuate may also face extended periods of time when help will not be available due to isolation. People who do not evacuate when ordered are also in violation of the law.
Each storm will be different and we recommend you monitor this website and other sources of information for updates.
NOTICE: Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public records request,do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.

Now nearly every one dreams of their perfect car power, style, and charisma. Those who have had their first car know your first never matches this description. However, the Vauxhall Corsa SXi 1.2i no matter year has style (street credit) and comes in many different styles and shades. It isn't no drag racer but for your first car it has got enough power to get you from A to B and have great time driving. You may not know it but it is a charismatic car when ever you see one people turn their heads and never think bad of this little machine.
Just to wrap it up this car is affordable but will meet all your hopes and expectations for a first car and you will never forget this little car and the feelings you had behind the wheel.

Malian President Amadou Toumani Toure who was deposed last week on Wednesday in a military coup has told reporters he is still in the country and free.
"I am free and in my country," Mr Toure told French radio station RFI.
Amadou Toumani Toure however refused to comment on whether he was being protected by loyal soldiers. Amadou Toumani Toure's whereabouts had been unknown since last week's coup
He was asked about his opinion of calls for him to return to the presidency, Mr Toure said: "The most important thing for me is not my own position."What is important is democracy, institutions, and Mali."
Unhappy soldiers over the governments handling of the Tuareg insurgency in the north organised a coup last week. The coup was however denounced by the international community, and regional bodies.
Regional neighbors like ECOWAS, said they were prepared to use sanctions and possible military force to dislodge Mali's new army leaders, urging them to hand back power to civilians, while former colonial power France has suspended aid.
Thousands of demonstrators however chanted pro-junta slogans in Mali's capital on Wednesday, protesting against the threats of foreign powers to use sanctions to force the leaders of last week's military coup to step down.
"I want the international community to shut up. This is our revolution," said youth leader Oumar Diara at the rally – the largest in Bamako since Toure was ousted.
"We, the youth, can live without the international community. We have been living with our eyes closed but now we are waking up," he said.
Mean while the new leaders have come up with a new constitution hastily written by the coup leaders.
The 69-article constitution includes many of the guarantees of the former law, including the guarantees of free speech, liberty of movement and freedom of thought. New measures include the creation of a military-led council headed by Sanogo. It says that the new head of state is simultaneously the head of the army, the head of the government and the head of the judiciary.
The middle and final sections set out the role of the military committee now controlling the country, which calls itself the National Committee for the Reestablishment of Democracy and the Restoration of the State.
The new constitution says that the committee will be made up of 26 soldiers or police and 15 civilians. Those asked to serve on the committee will receive immunity and cannot be tried at a later time.

It's almost inevitable, there's always a turnover every year. Some players lose it, some players catch fire, it's why they play the game and we discuss it from every angle. Here's what I got:
Catcher: Mike Napoli vs. Jeff Mathis. Of course the easy answer is Mike Napoli. He's been a stud this Spring and has "future 40 HR DH" written all over him. But wait, Jeff Mathis isn't looking so bad anymore. He's always had a beautiful swing, but now he's actually making contact, on top of which, it appears his air-mailing days could be over, his throws this Spring have been on target. Chances are, we'll see another year of splitting the spot and next year Naps takes over part time DH/ catcher spot as Conger is integrated in. But for this year, don't be surprised if Jeff Mathis catches 20 more games than he has in the past.
Second Base: Howie Kendrick vs Maicer Izturis. Howie's primed for a HUGE year, last season he quietly proved that if he stays within himself and doesn't push, he could probably hit .350 over a full year. Yeah I know .350? BS. Not for Kendrick through. Beautiful swing, renewed confidence, more patience and playing time. He might force Maicer to the bench more than the Soth would prefer. Maicer's steady and should reasonably be a starting middle infielder somewhere. This is great depth to have. Don't be surprised if Howie Kendrick ends up starting 130 games at 2B this season.
Third Base: Brandon Wood vs Maicer Izturis. It's do or die time for Brandon Wood, though it probably isn't any fault of his own. This Spring, he's looking like he's ready to be the player we all knew he could be. 3 years ago many were up in arms that Wood wasn't our starting SS. He's gifted defensively, should challenge for a gold glove, and he's shown a lot of growth in his approach. Wood's the type of player that could explode with regular playing time. With Maicer, the same applies as at 2B, he's a great option, but he could be forced to the bench. Don't be surprised if Woody opens lots of eyes and plays 140 games at 3B.
Backup Outfielder: Reggie Willits vs EVERYONE. Reggie's more than likely going to stick with the big league club. He's useful in a role such as this, but given his injury and our relatively unknown depth of talent for the backup OF spots, Reggie could be bumped. Terry Evans has the tools but doesn't have any minor league options left, he's getting his looks this Spring, though not exactly impressing. Michael Ryan is a proven hitter everywhere but the big leagues. He plays infield and outfield and that kind of versatility could land him a spot with the Angels. Cory Aldridge is very similar to Terry Evans, lots of skill, looking for a home. The Soth has proven he has a love affair with inserting Rob Quinlan into odd positions (grow up and stop laughing), he could take the backup OF spot. Finally, Peter Bourjos, he's getting a VERY long look this Spring and he's impressed a lot of folks. He's faster than Willits, younger than Willits, plays better defense than anyone not named Hunter and maybe Hunter, and he's got more pop than Willits. Bourjos could force someone's hand soon. Personally, I think we'll see Quinlan back with the Angels until Willits is healthy again.
Closer: Brian Fuentes vs. the Angels bullpen. Sure Fuentes saved a ton of games last year, but anyone who looks at more than just the saves stat could see that Fuentes was shaky and prone to the long ball. If he finishes a lot of games this season, he will become very expensive next season, will the Angels let that happen? On top of which, something no one is talking about, the Angels don't have a left handed specialist. Fuentes could be that guy. Rodney has closer stuff and experience. Shields has handled the 8th inning better than anyone in baseball the last decade. Jason Bulger came in and saved our tails on multiple occasions last year. Jepson's a closer in waiting and someone else not a lot of people are discussing, Brian Stokes. He looks strong this Spring and could probably close games. I see Fuentes splitting the 9th inning duties. With the lead in the 9th and facing lefties, Fuentes will come in. If the opposition had power hitting righties up next in the order, don't be surprised to see Jepson or Rodney. Bottom line, I don't think Fuentes holds down the closer spot on his own and I don't think he meets his vesting option this season.
Rotation: The weak link vs. Reckling. Reckling put up GREAT numbers in AA as a 19/20 year old last season, he's still 2 or 3 years ahead of the curve and so far this Spring, he's looking like the real deal. He's deceptive, has an average fastball with movement, and a wicked curveball and change up. His numbers may not be great in AAA because of it's HR tendencies, but if Reckling shines in AAA and someone struggles with the big league club, do you think the Soth would make the switch? Spot starts look like they'll go to Matt Palmer, but what happens if Pineiro gets shelled like some think he will? What is Ervin can't settle into his 2008 form? What if Kazmir can't get his new slider or even old slider over? Personally, I don't think it's gonna happen. I think Reckling will spend another 2 years in AAA and our rotation will be as good as any in the game. But Reckling certainly looks like the future of our middle rotation.

During today's media conference call, UFC president Dana White confirmed that the two UFC events to be aired on the Versus network in 2010 will be UFC Fight Nights similar to the events normally broadcast on Spike TV.
White addressed the press along with Versus executive Marc Fein to discuss the network deal announced earlier this week between UFC-owned Zuffa and the Versus network. The deal puts two live UFC events on Versus during 2010, along with seven events from the UFC's sister promotion, World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC).
Which events are still left to be determined, but White promises that they will not be watered-down shows.
"This will be a Fight Night," White said. "It will be like a Fight Night card … We have some big plans, but the first card we put on Versus, it's going to be a good one."
Whether or not that rules out UFC events that are held overseas — including UFC 110 in Sydney Australia on February 21 — and then aired in the States via tape-delay remains to be seen. Versus executive Marc Fein pointed toward the new year for a timeline on when more decisions will be made, including which day of the week the UFC events would air.
"I wouldn't say there's one given night," the partners are looking toward, Fein said. "We just want to make sure whatever night we pick maximizes ratings. ... If it cranks out the attendance and maximized viewership, that's where we'll land."
White also didn't shy away from questions regarding a potential deal to air UFC events on a major U.S. network. Comcast, the parent company of the Versus network, recently merged with NBC Universal.
"Comcast and Versus have been great partners for us," White said optimistically. "They have some interesting things going on. … You never know."
And what of Zuffa's long-running plan to push the WEC into Pay-Per-View (PPV)? It might come with cross-promotion, believe it or not.
"Absolutely," White said. "Our goal has been to get the WEC on Pay-Per-View this whole time. … The hard part about it is that there are so many dates taken, you know, between us, the WWE and boxing. It's tough to find dates, or trying to line up fights. It's a lot more than just throwing something on Pay-Per-View. There's a lot of work and planning that are involved in it, but our goal is to put a WEC fight on Pay-Per-View."

ALEXANDRIA, La. -- Alexandria has had seven homicides so far this year. Last year, they had one.
Several of those deaths have taken place in one neighborhood.
News Channel Five's Brooke Buford went to 14th Street where two days ago, a man was shot and killed. She talked to neighbors about the homicides in their neighborhoods.
Reverend James Hardison has lived on the corner of Park Avenue and 14th Street in Alexandria for more than 30 years. And, he says there's no place he'd rather call home.
"I love the people," he said. "People are friendly."
He says in those 30 years, he's seen many changes in his neighborhood - including an increase in crime. On Sunday, two doors down from his house, a young man was shot to death.
"Senseless. Very senseless," he said. "A boy has not yet learned how to live or what to live for. Hasn't prepared for the future. In the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing with the wrong people."
But sadly, this crime isn't the only one that ended in death. In January a woman was killed on the front porch of her home. In March, a man was murdered by his own grandson.
In fact, according to the Alexandria Police Department, there have been seven homicides in the city this year. That's compared to one last year. Nearly half of those, were within three blocks of Hardison's home.
"I think our officers are doing an outstanding job," he said of the police presence. "They are visible. There are a lot of children in this area and they see what's going on and if they're not careful, some of that stuff will take up residence in that child's life."
Hardison, like many of his neighbors, wants something done so he joined the neighborhood watch to find ways to try to fight the violence and help keep his community safe.
"It depends 100% on neighbors standing up and helping each other and doing what you know is right," said Winnie Marshall, president of the group. "You have to be concerned about your neighbor. Do what you can as a citizen to secure your home and help your neighbor secure their home."
The group has reached out to their city councilman, who says although the violence isn't as great as in larger cities. But, one life taken, is still too many.
"It's causing a lot of turmoil," said Councilman Ed Larvadain. "I'm asking the young men to stop the violence. Learn how to resolve your issues. Put the guns down. Parents if you see misunderstandings, please call the authorities."
Hardison says he hopes that he sees the day when senseless acts of violence stop on his streets. And, he says, that's because that's what he has left - hope - that things here will change.
"I serve a God who can do anything but fail," he said. "And, I believe that there's always hope."

Applewhite: Whaley Working at FB/H-back
Despite working at running back during the media availability at the first spring practice for the Longhorns, sophomore Chris Whaley is now working at H-back and fullback, per co-OC Major Applewhite. With the move of Alex Okafor back outside to defensive end and the move of Dravannti Johnson to defensive end full time, it appears that Whaley will remain on the offensive side of the ball. For the time being, at least.

Break-in at Park Engineering in Malton
10:26am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
POLICE are trying to track down burglars who broke into an engineering factory in North Yorkshire after forcing their way through a window.
The break-in happened at Park Engineering on the York Road Industrial Estate, in Malton, overnight between January 8 and 9.
North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses as their investigation continues.
The burglars left empty-handed as nothing valuable was left on the Riccall Drive premises overnight.
