Harvest is underway on what is expected to be one of the largest cotton crops on the South Plains. However, there are other crops that won't be setting any records this year due to a problem that began six months ago.
The owner of Apple Country in Idalou, Cal Brints says, "These trees, about August, are full of apples in a normal year. These trees would be Red Delicious apples."
A group of pre-kindergartners visiting Apple County in Idalou on Friday would be picking from the trees if they were full. Instead, they are learning about why there are so few apples.
"For the first time ever we can tell in the history of growing apples in West Texas, we had a damaging freeze," Brints said.
The freeze Brints is refering to is a storm that brought snow and nearly two days of freezing temperatures to the South Plains Easter weekend.
Brints said, "Probably over 90% of our crop was lost, so as a result we had to rely on orchards around us to bring in apples."
We're told since the freeze lasted not just an hour, but multiple hours, it affected the fruit, not only at Apple Country, but at many orchards across the South Plains, including peaches and pecan orchards.
Vicki Jobe, co-owner of Pecan Ridge said, "The pecan trees were just blooming out at that point in time. So it essentially froze the blooms. So there is essentially no pecan crop at all in this area of Texas."
Jobe explains that means this year they will not be shelling many pecans. However, next year she expects to be very busy, along with the apple orchard.
"Unless we get some hail damage or some type of freeze we're going to be looking at a wonderful crop next year," Jobe said.
Brints says the trees "are going to be way overloaded with fruit because they've rested from a year with our freeze."
We are told the Easter freeze affected fruit and nut farmers not only in the Lubbock area, but also across the Panhandle and down to the Midland and Odessa area. However, since most of these area farmers do not play a major role in supplying area grocers, prices at the stores are not expected to go up.

It is fascinating to ponder. With seven players allocated and four more players drafted from the college super draft last week, the Portland Thorns now have 11 players on their roster.
Up Front at the forward positions, Alex Morgan, Christine Sinclair, and Nicolette Radovcic are the logical choices. It goes without saying that Portland will have a potent attack capable of scoring goals aplenty.
Midfield is shaping up to have an all "Tarheel" flavor with three players who played their college soccer at North Carolina. With Tobin Heath, Amber Brooks and possibly Allie Long (if she joins the roster as rumored). Tobin Heath arrived in France yesterday and will play for PSG in the French league. Amber Brooks is presently in Germany and plays for Bayern Munich of the womens league. I think that Allie Long will assume the critical load in the middle until such time as Heath and Brooks can join the Thorns in June. It is worthy to note that all three players are versatile enough to play multiple positions in the midfield. Once Portland starts contracting free agents in the near future to round out their squad, I would assume that additional Midfielders would be added to the group to strengthen that position for the near term.
While the main talk out of the gate is focused on Alex Morgan and Christine Sinclair and how they both could potentially be a force to be reckoned with up front, in my opinion the back four defenders present a potentially solid line for opposing teams to break down. Rachel Buehler Nicknamed the "Buehlerdozer" normally plays with an aggressive style. Both Marlene Sandoval and Luz Saucedo are mainstays for the Mexican National Team. The recent selection of Kathryn Williamson in the super draft last week adds another powerful middle player that can start right now. Portland was delighted to get her at number eight in the first round.
The last two players are Karina LeBlanc, who manned the goal for team Canada in the Olympics and Roxanne Barker who represented South Africa in the 2012 Summer Olympics and completed her college career at Pepperdine. She ranked first all time in goals against (0.77) and second all time in shutouts (24), Second in wins (35)and save percentage (.825).
With this core group Portland has a solid foundation to build upon and it is my belief that they should rank as the early favorites to win the league cup., The 4-3-3 configuration utilizes the strengths of this unit as it stands now. With the addition of more players, perhaps the reasoning behind running such a traditional alignment might change, but for the moment it makes the most sense for the number of players contracted.

Why would you trade a guy you already have, who fits great with the Blazers, for a guy who is practically the same player, at twice the salary? Kirk's numbers when he was a starter were about the same as Blake's this year. This was Blake first year as a full time starter, because while Hinrich went to an awful Bulls team and got to start right out of college, Blake was stuck behind star Gilbert Arenas at the start of his career. Blake will surpass Hinrich's numbers easily when the Blazers gat an inside game, just like he dropped 11 dimes on Kirks Jayhawks, and got the amazing defender Kirk to foul out with only 5 assists, when they met in the Final Four. Blake went on to win the NCAA Championship, while Kirk's coach Roy Williams cried like a baby on National TV. The next year, the Jayhawks made it to the finals, and got trounced by Freshman Carmello Anthony.
All the knocks on Blake are BS, from people who don't know the game. I've even heard a few people say we don't have an inside game because of him, or we don't ever get fast breaks because of him. Unfortunately one of the problems with Portland basketball fans is their lack of knowlege about the college game. It's an NBA town. Their are no other pro sports, and no major college programs in the area. Well, maybe you think Hinrich is so great because you watched his team destroy the Ducks in the Elite Eight, and stopped watching before seeing the Jayhawks destroyed by Blake's Terps in the Final Four. Anyhow, The Terps were THE running team of college basketball, and THE tough inside team as well. They went to the Final Four two years in a row, and they had something the Blazers don't. Big guys who cut to the hoop, and could catch the ball and finish. They also had lots of guys who got out on the break and ran the floor. Notice how when Lamarcus started running the floor toward the end of the season we started blowing out teams like the Spurs, Lakers and Nuggets. Blake is a great long passer as we've seen, when he has someone to pass to, but he smartly pulls up for a half court set rather than turn it over, when no one flashes to the basket. When Oden learns to catch the ball and convert, Blake will average 8 assists at least.
Then people say Blake can't play defense. It's called a pick guys. Most teams run it like every play, because it works, like almost every play. You have a big guy slide up behind, and stand in the way of the little guy playing defense on the other little guy with the ball, and he runs into the big guy when the little guy with the ball cuts past him too close for the little defensive guy to get between them. On teams, who play better defense than the Blazers, one of the big guys in the middle of the defensive team steps out on the other side of the pick to deny penetration, and buy the moment his teammate needs to fight around the pick. The Blazers choose to play matador defense in the paint instead. All point guards including Hinrich, Chris Paul etc get screened off on picks. It's Basketball 101 guys. The rules make it an offensive game. Blake is actually a tenacious defender, but he doesn't get much help. He gets beaten sometimes just like Hinrich or any player. He has trouble stopping taller players from shooting over him, when he gets stuck with a mismatch, just like most players. To say Hinrich is a much better defender is a real exageration. I think it might be more acurate to say he plays on a team that plays better team defense, but most teams in the NBA play better team D than the Blazers.
Blake hasn't been given the chance to run a team for a few years the way Hinrich has, because he didn't go to a lottery team. If he gets the same chance Hinrich did with the Bulls, he will help his team win it all, somthing Hinrich failed to do in the NCAA, but Blake succedded with. A winner is a winner. Blazer fans don't know what they have with Steve Blake, let's hope KP does.

"All They Wanted Was a Chance"
Congrats to Shane Reveiz and Jake Storey for making it to scholarship status against all the odds, in this case playing for three coaches in three years.
The professional message board lurkers have had their say, but most folks would agree that all this means is the new scholarship recipients merely have a chance to contribute.
What they do with the chance is up to them.
Remember the day well that J. J. McCleskey got his chance, being put on scholarship by then head coach John Majors. He was elated with the opportunity and made the most of it. He played well enough at two positions (wide receiver and defensive back) to move all the way up to be a co-captain of the 1992 team.
J.J. and Nick Reveiz are the most famous graduates of the walk-on program.
You just never know where the next "diamond-in-the-rough" might come from.
Any time a walk-on earns a scholarship, it's something special.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSPolice Say Woman Arrested After Found Intoxicated In Vehicle While Kids Played In Busy Street
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Apr. 9, 2014 8:43 AM EDT
Updated: Apr. 9, 2014 8:51 AM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Jeff Morris) -- Charleston police said a woman was arrested after she was found passed out and intoxicated in her vehicle while her three children played on a busy street.
Ashley Annette Pyles, 29, of Hampton, Va., was charged with child neglect creating risk of injury on Tuesday, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
Police said Pyles was found passed out and intoxicated in her parked vehicle at Beauregard and Jackson streets with three children playing inside and outside of the vehicle on a busy street. Sojourners initially found Pyles and took the kids back to the shelter and contacted Metro 911, the complaint said.
An officer said when he approached Pyles she was sleeping on her side in the passenger seat. After awaking Pyles, the officer said he noticed a strong odor of alcoholic beverages and noticed her eyes were glassy and she seemed confused. When he asked her where her children were, she said she thought they were with her grandmother, the complaint said. The children range in age from 2 to 6.
Police said Pyles admitted to drinking vodka.
Pyles was being held Wednesday at South Central Regional Jail.

Manufacturers and suppliers use Realistic Simulation Solutions from SIMULIA to evaluate design alternatives, collaborate on projects and leverage computing resources for more efficient design analysis.
Composite materials are increasingly utilized by many industries due to their beneficial properties and the ability to tailor their response as needed. Certification of such structures requires component and sometimes full-vehicle testing, which is expensive and time-consuming and usually occurs too late in the design cycle to have any meaningful impact on the design itself. Until recently, analysis capabilities have not been sufficiently advanced to allow simulation to be used to influence design earlier in the development cycle.
Using the appropriate advanced simulation tools can improve the design, increase the value of testing and significantly reduce the amount and scale of physical testing which is currently required. The Abaqus FEA product suite utilizes not only static, but also dynamic load case simulation such as impact, collision, BVID and bird strike. SIMULIA's product platform can evolve your composites simulation methodology to deliver more accurate results to meet regulatory and competitive demands.

CORDOVA, Ala. (WIAT) – Cordova police arrested a tattoo artist who police say was tattooing several underage children without getting their parents' permission. In Alabama you have to be 18 before you can get a tattoo without parental approval.
Cordova police say the tattoo artist Shelly Hunter was actually out on bond for felony drug charges. The incident allowed them to revoke her bond. She is now in the Walker County Jail.
They later found out she was smoking marijuana and snorting pills while tattooing several children at a Cordova residence, which might explain the lack of artistic skill of the badly done tattoos.
Police say if the mother had not come forward they would have had no idea what was going on in the community. Three more juveniles were confirmed to have had been tattooed by Hunter.
Luckily for Caroline Pinegar, she tested negative for hepatitis and HIV. Her mother, Malena Pinegar, wants the suspect to pay for the tattoo to be removed.

Omega Poised to Bar Entry to New Investors
Look for Omega Advisors to cap its main hedge fund in the near future.
Marketers representing the New York firm have told investors it will stop accepting capital once overall assets reach $8 billion. At last count, Omega was managing about $7 billion as of December up from $6.4 billion nine months earlier.
Much of the increase in assets has been driven by performance, rather than inflows. The flagship fund, Omega Overseas Partners, rose 25.3% last year, versus a 7.4% gain for the HFRI Equity Hedge (Total) Index. The Omega fund, which invests in large-cap equities, has delivered a 13.8% average annual gain since its inception in 1992.
But sources said the firm hasnt made a final decision about closing off the fund to fresh capital. Founder Leon Cooperman will weigh several factors in the coming months, including idea flow, investment opportunities and performance.
Cooperman opened Omega in 1991 after leaving Goldman Sachs, where his titles included chief executive of the banks asset-management business. He runs Omega with another former Goldman partner, Steve Einhorn.
About half of the firms 30 employees work on the investment side. The most recent investment professional to join is Peter Boockvar, who arrived in recent weeks from Miller Tabak & Co. He supports Omegas macro-strategy team.

The National Sleep Foundation Offers Tips to Help Children and Parents "Spring Forward"
WASHINGTON, DC (March 31) - It happens in the middle of the night once a year, and can affect you and your children for several days. It's the return of Daylight Saving Time, which happens this year at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, April 6 for most of the nation. Daylight Saving Time also marks the end of National Sleep Awareness Week, the National Sleep Foundation's (NSF) week-long effort to waken America to the importance of sleep.
The annual "spring forward" ritual can cause disruptions in normal sleep patterns for children and adults. However, NSF says there are steps you can take to minimize the sleep loss and enjoy the benefits of healthy sleep and productive days.
"It is not uncommon for children to experience sleep disruptions with the return of Daylight Saving Time," says Jodi Mindell, PhD, a nationally recognized expert in pediatric sleep and a member of NSF's board of directors. "It may take your child longer to fall asleep with the time change. Since we move the clock forward, he or she may not be as sleepy as usual at bedtime," says Dr. Mindell, a professor of psychology at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, and associate director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
To help your child make that adjustment, Dr. Mindell offers these two tips to ease the transition and keep sleep deprivation at a minimum. No matter what approach you take, your child will adjust to the time change within a few days to a week:
- Maintain your child's regular sleep, wake and nap times. Try not to compensate for the lost hour by delaying bedtime or allowing your child to sleep in. This willincrease the time it takes to transition. There may be some crankiness from being tired, but this should last only a day or two.
- Make gradual adjustments. Some parents find it is best to try to start makingadjustments on Saturday night rather than wait until Sunday, a school night. Youmight even want to try making a slow transition starting on Thursday night before the time change, moving your child's bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each night. By Sunday night you will be right back on schedule.
Now for parents, who, like their children, can also experience sleep loss and schedule disruptions because of the time change. As many parents know, additional sleep deprivation is not something they can afford. NSF polls reveal that most adults already get less than the recommended seven to nine hours of nightly sleep needed to be fully alert the next day. "Too many people will sacrifice yet another hour of sleep when the clocks change - an hour they cannot afford to lose, particularly on the weekend, when people try to catch up on the sleep they missed during the week," said Richard Gelula, NSF's executive director.
By making a few simple lifestyle changes, most people can achieve the sleep that is needed to feel alert, refreshed and ready to take on the day. These steps can help your own transition into Daylight Saving Time:
- Try to sleep more than usual a few nights prior to and immediately following the time change.
- Take a nap in the afternoon on Sunday if you need it, but not within a few hours of your regular bedtime. Napping too close to bedtime can disrupt nighttime sleep.
Daylight Saving Time marks the end of National Sleep Awareness Week, when NSF and its partners in communities across the country raise awareness about the importance of sleep and treatment of sleep disorders. "Let Sleep Work For You" is the theme for the Week this year, a theme NSF urges Americans to adopt with healthy sleep habits throughout the year. Learn what you can do to improve your sleep and how to recognize signs of potentially serious sleep disorders by visiting NSF's Web site, www.sleepfoundation.org.
The National Sleep Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public health and safety by achieving understanding of sleep and sleep disorders, and by supporting education, sleep-related research, and advocacy. NSF is based in Washington, D.C. National Sleep Awareness Week; is a licensed program of the National Sleep Foundation.

I don't make a habit of dwelling on the existence of Meredith Vieira, but for the first time in her life, she's said something that intrigues me.
I fell in a toilet and Bob has an eye infection — what a team! #NBCSochi #Sochi2014
— Meredith Vieira (@meredithvieira) February 6, 2014
This is frustratingly vague. Did she slip and fall on the floor somewhere in the vicinity of a toilet? Did she actually fall into a shoddily constructed Sochi toilet while sitting on it? Did she mistype and forget the word "asleep"?
Nothing that interesting:
Off to Sochi tomorrow. Fell into toilet two days ago. Really. Lights off, seat up. Wrenched my back. What else could go wrong?! Bye for now
— Meredith Vieira (@meredithvieira) January 31, 2014
Now she knows what her ratings feel like. But I hope her back is feeling better.
What is it about NBC employees sharing with us the details of their bodily functions? "Al Roker once crapped his pants in the White House" is something we've learned and cannot unlearn. I've tried to set an example by not watching them, but there's no handle I can push to make them go away. Mocking them doesn't work, because if they had any shame, we'd have no idea who they are.
Oh well. At least I can get a couple hundred words out of it. And isn't that really what's important? Don't answer that.

Hamilton's defiance fails to save Sagicor HPC
DHAKA, Bangladesh (CMC) — A defiant, unbeaten 47 from Jahmar Hamilton failed to inspire the Sagicor High Performance Centre (HPC) team, paving the way for Bangladesh A to claim a 52-run victory in their tour match yesterday.
The Anguillan wicketkeeper/batsman was the epitome of resistance in a die-hard knock to save the match for the visitors striking three fours and two sixes from 69 balls in 101 minutes.
However, despite his heroics the Sagicor HPC team was dismissed for 186 in their second innings inside the first hour on the final day of the four-day match at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium.
None of the HPC remaining batsmen reached 20 before left-arm spinner Saqlain Sajib completed the demolition, when he had Sheldon Cotterrell caught behind for a third-ball duck to finish with 5-61 from 22.4 overs.
The outcome meant that no team scored more than 200 in the match and ended the four-day programme on the tour for the Sagicor HPC.
The emerging West Indies players face the same opponents in three One-Day matches, starting on Saturday at the
same venue.
Starting the day on 120 for six, chasing 239 for victory, the Caribbean side suffered an early setback when Yannic Cariah was caught close to the wicket of left-arm spinner Enamul Haque Jr.
Two overs later, Veerasammy Permaul fell for three to Enamul, who trapped Jomel Warrican lbw for five, finishing with 3-73 and match figures of 10-118 to make him the leading contender for the Man-of-the-Match award.
The Sagicor HPC are on a month-long tour to Bangladesh.
They opened the trip with a draw in a four-day match against the Bangladesh Cricket Board Academy at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna.

Last year I started a little game for Bills fans to kind of test their memory of Bills players. It was rather popular and I figured maybe now would be a good time to start it up again. Hopefully it will be a fun experience for everyone who wasn't here last time.
Now that the intro is out of the way, let's get on to the rules of the game. The game we will be playing is called the name game. I will put the first name obviously. The next name has to start with the first letter of the last name.
Example: Mila Kunis, Kiera Knightly.
Simple enough concept right? The only catch is you have to use Buffalo Bills players. They have to have actively played for the team for at least one season. So no practice squad people or people who were with the team for a few weeks. So how do we determine the winner? Well the beauty of this game is that everyone wins. We all will get smarter as fans playing and learning about Bills players. Also, if you are so inclined, you can include some stats or info about whatever player you mention. It's not mandatory of course but if you want to impress us with your knowledge feel free. On one final note, if you want to keep playing make sure to rec this so it stays up and we can play as long as possible. Thanks to everyone who plays! Go Bills!
Another note: each name can only be used once! Also, in the event two people place a name at the same time, a tiebreaker will happen. To break the tie you must put as much info about the player as you can off the top of your head in a comment. Whoever wins is the name that will count for the next one.

Singled Out: "I Called Rick Ross And Said, 'I Need You To Go Ahead And Be A Part Of This Record...'"
Tuesday, Dec 6, 2011 11:45AM
[SOHH highlights a hot single each week and offers a unique look at the record. After Slim Thug broke down how he recruited Paul Wall & Chamillionaire to put on for "Houston", Bad Boy spitter Red Cafe explains why he chose to get "Fly".]
The new single we got out there is called "Fly Together" and it's with Ryan Leslie and Rick Ross.
I'm a big fan of Ryan Leslie and what he does. I used him for my "I'm Ill" remix ... it was him, Lloyd Banks and Claudette Ortiz. I think they helped the record get to a whole different level, and Ryan did a great job, he nailed it.
From there, I just wanted to work with him and be able to create something from scratch; time finally permitted us to be able to get in the studio. The thing about going into the studio with a producer is that sometimes you might not get in their and get what you need. But we went in there for one day and came out with a banger, so that says a lot about the artisty and the chemistry between Ryan Leslie and Red Cafe.
Immediately, I called Rick Ross and said, "I need you to go ahead and be a part of this record." He heard it and said, "Alright, cool. Send it to me."
So I flew down to go see him and I played him the record and he jumped on it and the rest is history.
Check out "Fly Together" below:

Viral Encephalitis Outbreak in Malaysia Declining
The outbreak of viral encephalitis that has affected parts of the states of Perak, Negri Sembilan and Selangor in Malaysia appears to be declining. The number of hospital admissions over the past week has diminished although 41 patients remain hospitalized. Since the beginning of the outbreak in October 1998 until 19 April 1999, there have been a total of 256 cases and 98 deaths. Of the deaths for which tests have been completed, 40 were due to Nipah virus, 8 to Japanese encephalitis (JE) and 17 had a dual infection of JE and Nipah virus.
Culling of pigs has proven effective in eliminating the source of human infections. During the culling operation 883 324 pigs were slaughtered in Negri Sembilan and Selangor. Another 14 905 are scheduled for culling in the state of Perak.
Although there is still a chance of new cases appearing in other areas due to the movement of pigs, the coordinated control measures adopted by the Health and the Veterinary Services of the Malaysian Government appear to have been successful.
WHO and international experts have also worked with government and non-governmental agencies to control the disease.
A programme to survey all of the more than 1000 pig farms in Malaysia for Nipah virus will soon get underway. A system to sample the farms on a regular basis will then be put in place to prevent another such outbreak from taking place in the future.
In addition to the ongoing clinical and laboratory investigations, a number of epidemiological studies are being carried out to investigate how the virus is transmitted and if any animals in addition to pigs are involved.
More than 400 health workers have been in the affected areas interviewing and testing farmers, their families, abattoir workers, pork sellers, veterinarians, soldiers involved in the culling operation and hospital staff to determine how the virus is transmitted.
At the same time, studies of fruit bats and other possible animals, including goats and dogs, are proceeding. At one point, there was concern that horses were affected but all tests done so far have proved negative. Testing will continue.

History is not their best subject
By John Frank
Published on Tuesday, December 18th, 2007 at 5:28 p.m.
SUMMARY: Presidential candidates often make historical references to emphasize points or justify positions. A lot of the time, though, they get it wrong -- to the dismay of historians.
The rhetoric of the 2008 presidential campaign is tough for historians to stomach.
All too often the candidates invoke former leaders and past eras as they emphasize a point or justify a position.
Look no further than Rudy Giuliani's latest television ad, Mitt Romney's speech about being Mormon or Hillary Clinton's reasoning for estate taxes.
Who doesn't want the Founding Fathers on their side?
But historians sour because candidates frequently get the facts wrong.
"I think for most historians it's very frustrating to watch politicians use history," said David Farber, a Temple University history professor. "We are happy they are sharing American history but I think it becomes an exercise more in the ludicrous claims than the legitimate."
Take Mike Huckabee's statement during a Republican debate in Orlando that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergymen. ( Pants-on-Fire wrong! ) Or Duncan Hunter's assertion in a Fox News interview that George Washington prayed every day and had his own field manual of prayers. Both claims are completely untrue, historians say.
In fact, only one signer was an active preacher at the time, John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister and president of the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. A leading religion Web site, Adherents.com, said three others were former clergymen, but not most of the 56, as the former Arkansas governor and Baptist minister said.
Likewise, Hunter, a Republican congressman from California, ignored the fact that Washington's religious convictions are a point of major contention. Biographers such as Rupert Hughes debunked the myth about Washington's so-called prayer book in the early 20th century.
"People tend to attribute their own views to someone in the past," said Phil Chase, a historian at the University of Virginia. "The Founding Fathers are very important to what's going on. ... (But) if you are going to comment on it historically, you should try to get the facts straight."
Call it cynicism, but Leo Ribuffo, a history professor at George Washington University, doesn't expect politicians to always get it right. He says he doesn't like when the media parse candidates' speeches to verify the historical material.
"I have lower expectations," he explained. "I don't think political speeches are expected to accurately represent the past. ... One of the problems with real history is it's too complicated to get into a political speech or a newspaper article."
It's a valid point, especially when candidates make statements on the fly, historians say.
Still, others argue that someone seeking the highest office ought to know the facts before speaking. "It's one thing if it's a simple mistake, but often they misconstrue on purpose," said historian John Alexander at the University of Cincinnati.
When cited properly, politicians realize the potency of historical moments. When Romney, the Republican former governor of Massachusetts, gave a key address on his Mormon faith in December 2007, he accurately quoted a speech Samuel Adams gave to the First Continental Congress in 1774 about the importance of accepting many faiths. And John McCain supported his position against waterboarding as an interrogation technique by correctly noting that Japanese soldiers after World War II were hanged for such crimes against U.S. prisoners.
More often, historians see candidates use the right historical facts and then blur the edges to fit their interpretation.
Case in point: Giuliani's TV ad airing in New Hampshire, experts say. In the 30-second spot, the former New York City mayor focuses on the importance of national security by recounting the Iran hostage crisis.
Giuliani gets the facts largely correct but insinuates that Republican President Ronald Reagan deserves the credit for the hostages' release moments after his inauguration — not outgoing Democratic President Jimmy Carter. Experts call the ad misleading.
"It happened that they did not hit Algiers until (Reagan) was in office about a half-hour," Warren Christopher, Carter's deputy secretary of state who led the hostage negotiations, said in an interview. "But all the negotiations took place before the inauguration."
Clinton took a similarly selective approach to history during a recent forum in Derry, N.H. When a voter asked about her plan to use estate tax revenue to pay for universal retirement accounts, the leading Democratic contender turned to history and slipped in a dig at the GOP.
"The estate tax, which came into being by Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and others ... is there for a real simple reason: In America, we've never liked the idea of massive inherited wealth."
But it was war, not wealth, that prompted the first estate tax levies dating back as far as 1797. Clinton is correct that Roosevelt supported an estate tax, but it didn't become law until 1916 when Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, used it to pay for World War I.
Even more, the framework for the modern estate tax system was developed by another Democratic president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
To be sure, the candidates don't deserve all the ire. Much of their words are scripted by speechwriters and researchers.
Doug Gamble has written speeches for two presidents and many other politicians. The California-based writer's forte is humor, but he's careful when it comes to history.
"As a writer myself, when I use historical references I would do absolutely everything I could to verify its accuracy," he said. "I'd hate to contribute to the embarrassment of the candidate."

Five days after an EF2 tornado ripped through a trailer park in Watford City, Sarahbeth Ackerman sat down with one teenager who is lucky to be alive.
"She reached out to grab my hand, and told me that everything was going to be okay and that she loved me. And the floor just kind of spilt between us," says Ainslea's father Ben Oliphant.
And that's the last thing Ainslea Oliphant remembers.
After that, she woke up in Trinity Hospital's Intensive Care Unit in Minot with no memory of the tornado.
"I didn't know why I was there or what was going on. Everybody had to retell me. And, I was just in amazement. I didn't know that it actually happened," says Ainslea.
Ainslea suffered major injuries like a broken collar bone and bleeding to the brain. But all of those injuries are still not getting her spirits down.
"Honestly, I want nothing more to put a full face of makeup on while talking to you guys. But, I know that I can't because it would just cover up everything that's happened."
Oliphant is already walking and will begin physical therapy this week.
"She's a strong young woman. She's strong," says Ben.
Just 15 years old, this young lady has some words of wisdom for everybody.
"You just got to live it like its your last. Because literally, in a matter of seconds, it could be gone."
Also gone was Ainslea's phone. Something that she looks at now as materialistic. Her phone survived, and was found under a propane tank only with a few scratches that can all be repaired.
As for her parents, they're just happy she's alive.
"She's a beauty queen. That's my baby."
Ainslea says she just looking forward to taking some hashtag selfies and celebrating her 16th birthday next month.

Moving from Android to iOS
So I've been with Android for about 3 years now. All has been well and I have no qualms with the OS. I use an S3 as my phone and a Nexus 7 for tablet duties.
However I'm getting a bit bored. There's no Android hardware that I like - S4 is S3 with bells, HTC One is nice but nothing special and N4 is cool but the camera blows goats.
I went to check out my favourite DJs set the other day and frustratingly found out it was iTunes only. I downloaded a podcast app and it needed the name and url of the podcast as mandatory fields. At that point I felt hard done by as an Android user.
So then I got this crazy idea- how about an iPhone 5? It has all the essentials - storage, decent camera and speed.
I had an iPhone 4 and S1 3 years back- the S1 came out on top because I could use it as a hotspot and could watch YT videos in HD over a cellular connection - I'm assuming both of these can be done with iPhones now.
My main usage is FB, WhatsApp, Twitter and Soundcloud. It really helps that Chrome, Gmail and Maps are as good, if not better on iOS as they are on Android - I use them all a lot.
So my question is - If I went over to iOS, what would I miss from Android?

Complete and total paralysis
Attaching to things we;ll never miss
Where we live is this
A rotting casket scaled with a kiss
Devour each day, the only way
In the blink of an eye
It can be stolen away
Counting every second winding down
Like days in the heart of hell
Where all the dead wishes go
And the unloved and placeless dwell
Grins and poses
Every photo of the living funeral photography
It won`t be me
We (?) the living
One chance to do what you must
This is our one time around
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

"Will President Obama's Stance on Same Sex Marriage Dampen the Black Religious Vote?"By Lawayne Childrey | Published 30 Oct 2012 11:15am |
As this year's presidential race draws to a close members of the black church are weighing in on President Barack Obama's support of same sex marriage. It's an issue that has reportedly divided many African American churches across the country. MPB's Lawayne Childrey reports how it's being received in Mississippi's Black religious community.
During a rousing Sunday morning worship service, Pastor Jerry Young of New Hope Baptist Church in Jackson openly confessed his dismay for President Barack Obama's decision to support same sex marriage.
"When he said that it bothered me tremendously. I mean , I, I almost had a, I mean, look, I almost starting having just fits. I mean I got so upset that I had to go back to the room. I had to go back to the room and get on my knees before I could preach. I was so mad I didn't know what to do. I said how in the world, this man got to know better than that."
Dr. Young is a charismatic minister who grew up in the Mississippi Delta during the heart of the civil rights era. He told his 3,000 member congregation that he struggled to understand why Obama had taken - what many in the black church community, call an anti-religious stance on the matter. However, after days of prayer and consecration Young says he received a better understanding of the president's position.
"It is the constitution that governs this country. It is not the bible. And those of us who are Christians as much as we would like to we cannot shove the bible down other folks throat."
Nationally some African American ministers were outraged over the presidents endorsement of same sex marriage. Many are reportedly discouraging their members from even voting in this year's election. But Derrick Johnson, State President of the Mississippi NAACP says he's actually seeing the opposite effect here in Mississippi.
"They're all eager to get their congregants engaged in this year's election. People are concerned with jobs, people are concerned with healthcare, people are concerned with quality education for our children."
Nearly 95% of African Americans living in Mississippi who voted in the 2008 Presidential election cast their ballot for President Obama. Dr. Demondes Haynes was one of them. Haynes an Usher at Word and Worship Church in Jackson and says this year he is even more enthused.
"Our country unfortunately has a history of discriminating against people whether they be gay lesbian, black Latinos so it's time for us to really rectify those policies. But on the front of people who have same sex marriage or same sex relationships they just wanna live their lives and be free in this great country."
As complex as the issue of same sex marriage may be for certain members of the black church community Natalie Jones, a Jackson Business Owner and member of New Hope Baptist Church leans towards accepting the idea with one caveat.
"And I am definitely a religious person so I think they should have the rights as married people but I don't think it should be considered a marriage. Maybe it should be called something else, a civil union or something like that but I do think that they should have benefits as married people."
Still the question remains, even with his support of same sex marriage, will President Obama garner the same overwhelming support from the African American community he did four years ago. Many political analyst believe the answer is yes. And while a small percentage may not vote for the President because of his position on gay marriage, Pastor Jerry Young of New Hope Baptist Church in Jackson said during a recent sermon that his congregation should not mix religion and politics.
"We make a distinction between the church and culture, between the secular and the sacred and between the constitution and the bible. America is governed by the constitution the church must be governed by the bible. And that's where I stand as a child of God. Amen and to God be the glory!"

This site shows which hard drive models currently on the market (or discontinued) use what platter density, how many platters and how many read/write heads.
These attributes are important for several reasons: larger platter density generally equals higher data throughput performance, but may result in slower seek performance. Meanwhile, less disks and actuator arms mean less moving parts in the drive to eventually break, and can also lower the heat and noise output of a drive. I find and collect the data online, as well as from drives that I manage to test in real life, and put it all in these lists for you folks to look at.
Anyway, choose which manufacturer made your drive:
Note: I try my best to keep the information updated and accurate, but I don't always get things right. Thenceforth comes a disclaimer: use of this database is at your own risk. Please consult multiple sources other than just this site when searching for hard disk platter-related information for best results. After all, a lot of the data on this site comes out of logical guessing. These lists were originally created because most of the hard drive makers don't release this info to the public. So, some passive-aggressive research is needed to figure out the head/platter counts, rather than purchasing a bunch of drives and cracking them open.
That said, if you see any drives/models that aren't listed or are listed incorrectly, feel free to sound off in either the comments form of the appropriate section or through the Contact form, and I'll see what I can do.
