Petra Gate Hostel and HotelPetra, Jordan
No hot showers, dirty and very old bedding/pillows and one of our rooms smelt mouldy.
New York Budget InnNew York, USA
No elevators at all- so staying on the 4th floor with 3 bags was nOt so great. The staff do help you with bags though. Lussage storage for even a few hours though costs $5 per bag, which I find ludicrous. Plus there are added laundry/bedding/towel fees onto of the room charge.
Urban Holiday LoftsChicago, USA
Staff were rather rude and the location of the hostel, whilst being in a cool neighborhood, is far from chicago's centre and attractions. I enjoyed my room-mates, but if I could choose I would probably not stay here again.
HI New York City NYC HostelNew York, USA
Some staff were a little rude, but overall for NYC they were great. The cafe in the hostel itself was delicious, if a bit expensive. The upper west side is a bit out of the way but overall a nice place to stay, as it's right by the subway red/1 line which is fantastic. I would stay here again!
No14Blue Mountains, Australia
The only real negative was that there were no lockers/safes in the rooms or hostel. Apart from this, I really enjoyed my stay at this quaint hostel in the centre of Katoomba!

I have been working at Generac Power Systems full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Rewarding job, every day is different, have built excellent working relationships with many different groups of people, from peers, to directors, and dealers. Company gives the right tools for you to be successful(Channel programs, computer, phone, etc). Benefits are decent. Superiors are hands off and let you get your job done with minimal supervision.Cons
Expectation is 20% growth year after year and is attainable if willing to put fourth the effort and it is the rewarding part of the job. The unrewarding part is that they are not willing to compensate for the effort. Commission/bonus structure is capped, what is the incentive to go above and beyond? They use historical numbers to create budgets for the following year. So you only hurt yourself to knock it out of the park. Base pay is 30-40% below industry standards, and your bonus structure is calculated off your base pay. If compensation was where it needed to be, and you could write your own ticket with hard work, this would be an excellent career choice.
The opportunity for growth is limited out in the field as they like to promote with in the corporate office and the field reps never get a chance to even look at a job as it is normally filled before the position is posted.Advice to ManagementAdvice
If you want to keep the aggressive growth, more incentive is needed to keep pushing sales above and beyond goals out in the field.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

I applied online and received an email a few weeks later to set up a phone interview with the recruiter. The questions were pretty typical interview questions, nothing too unexpected. At the end of the call, I was offered an on-site interview, which we set up for the next week. The on-site interview included 3 separate one-on-one interviews with people I would be working with, mostly reviewing my resume and talking about the position and the recruiter told me to expect to hear back by the end of the week.

text: I went to the gun store the other day, and sitting there was a LNIB FNP 9 that I just had to have. I've read great things, but had never handled one. Picked it up and I swear it was made for my hand. The DA trigger is really nice and the SA is even better. For $449 I think I got a good deal. Does anyone know if there are any night sights available? I didn't see any of the Trijicon or Meprolight sight. Also, I had a holster for my Sig P229 and it fit it perfectly. Might not be my main carry, but I don't think I'll have any trouble concealing it if it does become that.

Former HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg, in association with NFL Films and NBC Sports Group, will produce a documentary on Campbell that is expected to air on NBC Sports Network.
It will cover Campbell's career from his state championship season at John Tyler through his Heisman Trophy-winning career at Texas and his Pro Football Hall of Fame days with the Oilers.

Gilbert was a surprise team last season that survived an injury to its top goalkeeper to capture the Fiesta Region title, reach the state quarterfinals and compile a 15-5-1 record.
With two experienced goalkeepers returning — Jessica Elley and Rachel Wallace were the first- and second-team All-Fiesta Region picks, respectively — and the same versatility and experience that helped them last season, it's safe to say the Tigers won't be sneaking up on anyone again.
"We don't have two or three standout players," coach Ben Holzer said. "We have 21 good soccer players. We have a very versatile team."
Gilbert will be trying to knock off defending 5A champion Horizon, which also has a pair of quality goalkeepers. Coach Todd Garelick raised more than a few eyebrows when he announced that his first-team all-region goalkeeper, Megan Currey, who allowed four goals in 25 games last season, will be switched to the midfield.
"Everyone is going to ask if I'm crazy," Garelick said. "But, we need to prepare for the future."

Regional playoffs
Feb. 2-14: State
Horizon: Defending 5A champs will have to restructure their offense around youth, but still have tough defense.
Xavier: Perennial power figures to reload and push Horizon for the Desert Valley Region title.
Gilbert: Defending Fiesta Region champs nearly topped state champion Horizon in the quarterfinals last season.
Red Mountain: Midfielder Amanda Urtuzuastegui has a hard surname to pronounce and is hard to stop. She's one of 10 returning players along with midfielder Ashley Wise, both All-East Valley first-teamers a year ago.
Desert Vista: Ten starters return from team that had its highest finish (second) in the Central Region during Kirk Nelson's seven years as coach.
Corona del Sol: Blain Dugan and Shalyn Scott, the region player of the year, return from a team that reached the state semifinals last season.
Desert Mountain: Central Region winner moves into the difficult Desert Valley Region with Horizon and Xavier. All-East Valley first-teamer Stefanie Marasco leads the offense.
Sabino: Dropped from Class 5A and could be a force at 4A.
Chaparral: Eight starters return, including 4A All-East Valley player of the year Lauren Shapiro, and Liz Ray.
Seton: Class 3A champs would love to play at the 4A level, but will have to settle for dominating 3A again. Janna Feeley and Amanda Wessel return to lead the offense.
New neighbors: Talented Desert Mountain captured the Central Region title last season, but will be hard-pressed to do the same after moving to the Desert Valley Region this season alongside Horizon and Xavier.
Dropping down: Tucson Sabino has dropped from Class 5A to Class 4A.
Take three: The new Class 4A state tournament alignment will allow 24 teams, up from 16, meaning three from each region will make the field.

Re: Elina Svitolina Cheering Thread!
Elina won her first round match at 50K Saint-Gaudens. I had the pleasure of watching her on livestream & I'm glad that she has improved in terms of her consistency. She was also much aggressive & her first serve is going some real good damage when it gets in. Her temper/emotions on court can still be controlled because she was often frustrated after getting broken but kudos to her for staying strong mentally.

Wednesday Wishes and/or Woes

We're supposed to get snow here where I live, I dread that, we need the moisture though!
I wish it weren't so cold, my achey bones don't like it much.
Do you have any vWishes and/or Woes today?
|Thu, 12-06-2012 - 7:52am
It was almost 70 degrees on Tuesday and then it snowed yesterday (Wednesday). It was pretty chilly so we bundled up in afghans in front of the fireplace and watched t.v. I am not looking forward to driving in the snow, but today I am getting all new tires on my Explorer so that should definitely help!

Since I'm always on the go, I always like to blend a whole bunch of assorted fruits and vegetables a week in advance so I can get all my nutrients for the week without having to re-blend every single night. My mother's doctor however, recently informed her that anything that is blended and sitting there for more than 24 hours is essentially nutrient deprived. She said you're basically only drinking the fiber. I wish I could've asked her more about it but it was only my mom who had a chance to speak to her. Can someone inform me a bit more about this?

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

"There's a girl I knowIt's a simple story: Boy Meets Girl; Girl Meets Boy; Boy And Girl Like Each Other. Other Boy Meets Girl; Girl Meets the Other Boy; Other Boy Likes Girl Too, But Girl Is Paying So Much Attention To Boy She Doesn't Even Notice Other Boy's Affections. Now take a deep breath if you read that out loud. Overuse of capital letters aside, this is Triang Relations #4: a character who has a crush on someone who's already engaged in (at least potential) Shipping with someone else, after all, All Love Is Unrequited. Distinct from the Romantic False Lead in that the latter will actually catch the Girl's attention and make Boy jealous and uncomfortable (forming a Love Triangle). The Hopeless Suitor thinks that his rival is a Romantic False Lead, when in reality there was no competition in the first place, the object of their affection simply doesn't notice them. The center of the love triangle will always think the Hopeless Suitor is just a friend. In rare, very rare occasions, through sheer determination as befitting a Dogged Nice Guy, they might win over the object of their affection. It very well might take years or decades, like a Victorious Childhood Friend. The key is that there isn't any hinting towards Unresolved Sexual Tension between them, the tension is all one sided for a very long time before feelings are reciprocated. Usually doesn't get as far as Stalker with a Crush, unless he's Wrong Genre Savvy enough to be a Prince Charming Wannabe. Compare Romantic Runner-Up and Unrequited Tragic Maiden. Can be caused by an Incompatible Orientation.

HOUSTON -- Dow Oil, Gas & Mining, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, has been awarded a 2014 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine for the DOW NEPTUNE advanced subsea flow assurance insulation system. The NEPTUNE system is based on a new, proprietary insulation material that offers uniform, high performance from the well-head to the delivery point, along with the widest installation and operating temperature range of any wet insulation system on the market.
The R&D 100 Awards identify and celebrate the top technology products of the year. Past winners have included sophisticated testing equipment, innovative new materials, chemistry breakthroughs, biomedical products, consumer items, and high-energy physics.
"With the demand for oil and gas continuing to rise and reserves becoming increasingly difficult to reach, the NEPTUNE insulation system allows producers to access valuable resources from more extreme environments in a safe and reliable way," comments Alex Lane, global business segment manager - Transmission, Dow Oil & Gas. "We are proud to be recognized for this breakthrough technology, developed in cooperation with leading industry coaters, which helps shorten qualification time and minimize project risk."
The NEPTUNE system is a simple, all-in-one insulation system designed for casting around deep subsea flowlines and ancillary equipment. While competitive line pipe coating systems can require as many as seven layers, NEPTUNE insulation has only two: a robust and homogenous layer of novel insulation over a proprietary fusion-bonded epoxy. This simplified system eliminates the need for glass microspheres, multiple materials and adhesive tie layers, which reduces the potential risks associated with bonding dissimilar, potentially incompatible materials and contributes to a thinner coating profile.
NEPTUNE insulation is engineered to withstand the increasingly harsh conditions associated with subsea oil production, including broader temperature ranges and higher pressures. The insulation's tested physical properties include flexibility down to -40°C (-40°F), thermal stability at service temperatures up to 160°C (320°F), and a consistently low K-factor.

How to Train Your Praying Mantis
We've trained puppies to "come," "sit" and "heel."
We've trained an African grey parrot to say "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty! Meow!"
We've trained the kitty to ignore the parrot.
But how do you train a praying mantis?
You don't.
Our resident praying mantis, the lean green machine, conceals himself in the African blue basil. That's been home, sweet home for the past week. Before that, it was the lantana, catmint, Mexican sunflower and cosmos. He goes where the bees are and the bees are now all over the African blue basil.
We cannot create a "No fly zone." We cannot ban the bees from traveling. And we cannot ban the praying mantis from doing what he does best: ambushing prey and eating them.
Lately, however, he's allowed us to photograph him in the early morning, before his bee breakfast.
He does not respond to "Say cheese!"
Nor does he respond to "Say bee!" Or "Say Apis mellifera!"

Will Hummingbird Syrup Harm the Bees?
It's no secret that honey bees like the sugar/water mixture in hummingbird feeders. If there's no bee guard on the feeder or if the feeder isn't bee-proofed, bees will sip the mixture. They also will lick the spills. A sudden gust that sways or upends the feeder is "bee happy time."
However, should we be attracting honey bees to our hummingbird feeders and/or providing them with sugar/water syrup? Is the syrup mixture good for the bees?
Curious minds want to know.
One rural East Bay Area area resident who feeds the hummers and caters to honey bees in her garden asked that very question. Since bee guards prevent the short-tongued bees from reaching the food (hummers, as we all know, have long tongues), she hung "plant saucers from a tree with sponge in one and a terrycloth towel in the other so the liquid doesn't cause them to drown, and the bees swarm all over it to eat the sugar water. I can go through two gallons of sugar water a day. Who knew bees could eat so much."
"Bees are in trouble elsewhere but not here," she shared. "I didn't intend to be a bee feeder. I don't have hives for them or collect their honey."
The bees come to eat and she enjoys watching them eat. Her intention is to help the bees. "Walking into a swarm of bees to fill their feeders is thrilling. I don't hurt them and they don't hurt me. And having them here is a simple way for me to educate people about the importance of bees and contrary to the common belief that we need to be afraid of them. People leave here with a different view of their gentleness and importance."
She makes a 3-to-1 ratio (three parts water, one part sugar) for the hummers and bees. However, her neighbors wonder if she is harming them "because they need the protein from pollen" and the bees "might find the sugar water addictive."
Will it harm them?
Newly retired Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology has answered a lot of humminbird feeder/bee questions during his 38-year career.
"Feeding honey bee colonies sugar syrup has been going on since man determined how to refine sugar from beets and canes," Mussen said. "However, in most cases, we feed these syrups to honey bee colonies only when they are short on nectar at times when nectar is critically important, especially for brood rearing in the spring and for making sure there is enough food in the hive to get the bees through winter."
"Nectars contain very small amounts of numerous plant-derived micronutrients that are essential to honey bees," he pointed out. "We have known that all along, but recently some research has documented that components of honey make the honey better for bees than sugar syrup. Honey-fed bees have more robust immune systems, they learn locations of food sources more rapidly, and they forage more quickly than sugar syrup-fed bees."
So, the question: Is she harming the honey bee colonies with the syrup feeders?
"I doubt it," Mussen said. "Some beekeepers feed hundreds of colonies from open buckets of sugar syrup in southern U.S. beekeeping operations, and their colonies do just fine. However, I counsel against such an approach, since the strongest and least needy colonies get most of the syrup, leaving little behind for the weaker, more needy colonies. Each should be fed individually with a hive feeder."
So bottom line, "If you wish to continue feeding the bees, they will keep taking the syrup. However, since it is not nectar, the bees will be 'robbing' the syrup from its source. The problem with that is that once robbing gets started, bees from one colony begin to try robbing from neighboring colonies. The bees fight at the entrances and many are killed. I am sure that we can say that many colonies are benefitting from your syrup in one respect--just like the hummers--but there are downsides to the practice."
In addition, beekeepers may find their honeycomb tinted red or polka-dotted. It's not honey; it's syrup.

Keeping Bees
When do you start? What should you do?
Newly retired Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, continues to field questions. He's kindly agreed to respond to beekeeping queries until the new Extension apiculturist, Elina Lastro Niño of Pennsylvania State University, comes on board in September. (Actually, we expect to see Mussen buzzing around Briggs Hall and at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility quite a bit in his retirement years.)
Some questions come from 4-H leaders who organize the youth beekeeping projects.
Mussen is quite familiar with 4-H (head, heart, health and hands), a youth development program that emphasizes "learning by doing" and "making the best better." For decades, he's judged the annual California State 4-H Beekeeping Essay Contest.
Since 4-H'ers usually launch their projects in late summer or early fall, continuing through June, does a beekeeping project lend itself to that schedule?
No, not in the late summer or early fall.
"I won't tell you that you cannot start a colony of honey bees in the late summer or fall, but they will have a real uphill battle," Mussen recently told a 4-H leader. "The colony has to have enough time and food to rear a large enough colony population to make it through the winter. The harder part is having access to enough nectar and pollens to rear all the brood they need and still have enough extra nectar to store as a honey crop to get them through winter. They also need quite a bit of stored pollens to consume slowly during the winter and consume like crazy when brood-rearing starts for real around the end of December."
"Also, it will be a bit difficult to get a bunch of bees at this late date, unless you are in good with a beekeeper who will sacrifice a colony. And, if that is the case, I would take everything and overwinter it. Next spring you can split off some bees if you wish to raise a 'homemade' package."
Mussen says those who wish to reserve a package for next spring, should contact the bee breeder now. "They will be booked solid, due to winter colony losses this winter. You may have to hunt around for a smaller operation that will deal with "onesies." The bigger producers sometimes do not like to ship less than 100 at a time.
"Otherwise, chase down a local beekeeping club and add your request (and dollars) to a larger order that the clubs put out in the spring. While packages can be obtained in late March, the mating weather can be pretty 'iffy.' A week or two into April sounds better to me."
So, bottom line: if you want to keep bees, contact the bee breeder now. Join a local beekeeping club and find a mentor; read beekeeping magazines, journals and books; and peruse back issues of Mussen's online newsletter, from the UC Apiaries and his Bee Briefs.

It's National Moth Week!
The event, which runs through Sunday, celebrates "the beauty, life cycles, and habitats of moths," according to its website. Scientists and citizen scientists are encouraged to document their findings. It's now a worldwide event.
A few nuggets from the website:
"Moths are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth.
- Scientists estimate there are 150,000 to more than 500,000 moth species.
- Their colors and patterns are either dazzling or so cryptic that they define camouflage. Shapes and sizes span the gamut from as small as a pinhead to as large as an adult's hand.
- Most moths are nocturnal, and need to be sought at night to be seen – others fly like butterflies during the day.
- Finding moths can be as simple as leaving a porch light on and checking it after dark. Serious moth aficionados use special lights and baits to attract them."
Then there are, of course, the pests such as the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. This moth slips in at night to honey bee colonies and lays its eggs. The bees struggle to remove the larvae. Beekeepers struggle with control of the tell-tale evidence--damaged combs.
The honey bee bible, The Hive and the Honey Bee (Dadant Publication), says the wax moth female "produces less than 300 eggs during her life span of 3 to 30 days, but a few lay as many as 2000 eggs. Mated females fly to beehives one to three hours after dark, enter, and lay eggs until they leave shortly before daylight."
Sneaky little critters!
The Hive and the Honey Bee authors relate that "the presence of the wax moth larvae usually signals a major problem such as queenlessness, an infectious disease, poisoning and starvation."
Greater wax moths are probably not what the organizers of National Moth Week, founded by two naturalists in East Brunswick, N.J., had in mind when they launched this special week! (Unless, of course, they were anglers; the larvae make good fish bait!)

Honey Bees Need Water, Too!
These triple-digit temperatures make us all thirst for water.
Honey bees need water, too.
If you see them taking a sip from your birdbath or taking a dip in your pool, the "sip" means they're collecting water for their hive, and the "dip" could mean they're dying, says retired Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
"Like most other animals, the bodies of honey bees are mostly water," he points out. "Thus, they need to drink water routinely as we do. Additionally, water (or sometimes nectar) is critical for diluting the gelatinous food secreted from the head glands of nurse bees, so that the queen, developing larvae, drones, and worker bees can swallow the food. They use water to keep the brood nest area at the proper relative humidity, especially when it gets hot and dry outside the hive. Water droplets, placed within the brood nest area, are evaporated by fanning worker bees and that cools (air conditions) the brood nest area to keep the eggs and developing brood at the critical 94 degrees Fahrenheit required for proper development."
On extremely dry, hot days, all bee foraging except for water will cease, Mussen says. "Under those conditions it has been estimated that the bees may be bringing back nearly a gallon of water a day."
Unlike us, honey bees cannot simply turn on a faucet. "They will fly up to nearly five miles to find a suitable watering source," Mussen says. "Suitable to honey bees might not be suitable to us, but if it is moist, it may be visited. Suitable to the neighbors is a separate question. Honey bees can become quite a nuisance if they visit drippy irrigation lines or hose connections, birdbaths, pet water dishes, swimming pools, fountains, or wet laundry and the like. The water foragers become habituated to those sites. If you try to dissuade the bees by drying up the source for a while, it becomes evident that the bees will visit the site every so often so they'll be around quickly after the water is returned."What to do? "People have tried to use repellents in the water, but the bees are likely to use the odor as an attractant when attempting to relocate the water source," Mussen points out. "Some people have had success keeping bees and wasps out of their swimming pools with very lightweight oils or monomolecular films--their purpose is to prevent mosquitoes from being able to breathe. But, if the water is splashed very much, you'll require a new layer."
And all those bees struggling in your swimming pool? "Not all moribund honey bees in a swimming pool are there because they were trying to get a drink. Every day, approximately 1,000 old honey bees from each colony die naturally. This normally occurs during foraging, and the bees just flutter down to the ground, sidewalk, driveway, parking lot, or whatever they were passing over. Some flutter into swimming pools. They are not dead, yet, so they can and do inflict stings on people who bump into them on the surface of the water. "
Beekeepers should make sure there's a watering source on their property so the bees won't hunt for water elsewhere, Musssen says. It should be available all year around. "Once the bees are habituated to the site, most of them will use that source."
One good thing to know: Bees don't like to get their feet wet. In the Garvey birdbath, we have floating wine corks just for the bees. They can land on a cork to sip water or simply sip from the edge of the birdbath. Besides wine corks, you can also use a stone, a twig or a flat chunk of cork. The Melissa Garden, a privately owned garden in Healdsburg that was designed by internationally distinguished bee garden designer Kate Frey of Hopland, includes a flat floating cork in a fountain. On any given day, you'll see bees claiming it as their own.

Given predictions of dwindling supplies of petroleum—not to mention the recent unmitigated oil disaster in the Gulf—manufacturers of synthetic plastic-based products are eager to explore renewable feedstocks to traditional fossil fuels.Portuguese aircraft manufacturer, Dyn'Aero Ibérica, initiated a research effort in 2008 with Amorim Cork Composites to develop a bio-based replacement for PVC foam and other synthetic polymer aircraft materials. The company recently exhibited the results of their efforts at the Paris Green Air Show. Named Aerocork, the natural cork composite is currently being used to construct one of Dyn'Aero Ibérica's new planes, the MCR UL aircraft.

Prove it LGAdditionally, if gay-gene theory were true, it would be next to impossible to change the lifestyle to heterosexuality. However, it is not impossible to change sexual orientations Stephen Bennett is a great example, and so are the thousands of others who have come out of homosexuality.
With this incredible load of evidence mounting up against the gay-gene theory, it would be safe to say that homosexuality is actually not something one is born with, but a choice.
Instead of using hard evidence and facts, the homosexual community has stooped so low as to use media to force feed this unproven theory as fact in order to advance their agenda.

For me it is AMP PIDG terminals and an AMP 59250 for red and blue terminals and then an AMP 59239-4 for the yellow terminals.
There are other similar crimp tools to these but these are the tools used in the aerospace industry and certified for that use when used with the AMP PIDG terminals. When properly used with AMP PIDG terminals the crimps made are simply beautiful, robust and do not over or under crimp the wire. They certainly can be used with off brand terminals but do be sure they are a copy of an AMP PIDG three piece terminal.
What ever crimp tool you get:
*Pick your terminals and stick to that brand
*Test each size wire in each size terminal to be sure it is making a suitable crimp
There is a LOT of variability in red, blue, yellow crimp tools....

The man convicted in a Labor Day shooting during the 2011 West Indian Parade is receiving 25 years to life for the death of 29-year-old Eusi Johnson.
Leroy Webster will also serve 15 years each for assaulting police officers and criminal possession of a weapon.
The murder and assault convictions will run consecutively.
Prosecutors say Webster shot and killed Johnson after the two got into an argument. He then got into a shootout with police, and four people were shot.
"This defendant was completely out of control that night, and had little or no regard whatsoever for anyone's life that was out on that block that evening," said prosecutor Howard Jackson
"Mr. Webster is very sorry for his actions. He wishes he could take that back. There's no excuse but for his use of intoxication. He's had a hard life," said Herbert Moses, Webster's attorney.
Denise Gay, 56, was hit in the head by a stray bullet while sitting on her stoop.
Investigators later determined the bullet was not from Webster's gun.
Gay's family has a wrongful death lawsuit pending against the city.

James Tritle from North Pole, Alaska
"True 'beauty' comes from within.. My husband might be 'eye candy', but the best thing about him is that he is an amazing husband and father." -- Angela101081
Well said, and we totally agree! James beat out nearly 700 photo submissions to claim the title of the Hottest Dad of 2011, winning an amazing 7-day, 6-night tropical vacation for two at Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas! (Can we come too?)
In addition to the prize, this foxy military man also won his category of Hottest Military Dad! Check out the other hunky category finalists!
More to Love About James...
1. How does it feel like to win?
Unreal. I keep thinking I will wake up in the morning and it'll just be one of those crazy dreams!
2. Tell us a little about your kids.
Makayla is 8 (almost 9). She's our little leader. She's a competitive spirit that loves to be at the top! We sometimes call her 'Monica' after the character from Friends. She's a very helpful oldest sibling who is great at taking care of her younger siblings. Cameron is 7. He's the ball player. While gentle in nature he's a great little first year ball player. He babies his little sister a lot. They will be close as adults I'm sure. In a nutshell he's our most laid-back kid! Breanna is 4. She is the baby and knows it. She's sweet-natured but knows that she has most of us wrapped around her finger! All of them are really into swimming and riding bikes. They spend the most of their summers outside.
3. What's the best thing about being a dad?
Seeing what kind of person you are responsible for helping to create. We hope they'll be great productive adults, so that is what we bring them up to be.
4. What are some of your hobbies/or what do you like to do with your free time?
Sounds crazy but I am a Lego enthusiast. I also love baseball and will be working towards fine tuning my coaching skills over the next few years to eventually coach high school baseball someday. Overall, I really just enjoy spending time with the family relaxing and enjoying Alaska
5. What do you do for a living?
I am a Fuels Specialist in the US Air Force. Will soon be member of the Alaska Air National Guard.

Hello All!
Yep. I just realized it today! I AM ADDICTED TO SPARKPEOPLE! I tell you why...
I got up at 4 ish this morning JUST so I could log on & get my points, check my sparkmail, check my sparkpage, & check my blog responses. I also wanted time to check in & huddle w/my teams & get through the message boards. Then I'm responding back to people who've left me messages, sparkgoodies, & sparkmail! Now ya see, I had to work today (I don't work everyday, I'm a fill in nurse & I only work a couple days a week, at most) & I knew I would be running late getting off to work if I got up at my normal time.
Now, does this sound a bit strange at all to you? Well, wait....there's more!
Tic...Tic...Tic. The clock is ticking.
Okay, so I need to pack a lunch & have breakfast. I log on to SP again so I can calculate my calories for breakfast & lunch & document them on my tracker. I'm actually EATING my breakfast as I'm recording everything! Mind you, an eye on the clock all the while cause I've gotta be going! More responding to sparkgoodies, messages, etc.
I just couldn't log off! I didn't WANT to! And all the while I was at work today...I kept thinking about SparkPeople & wishing I could log on & see what's been happening thoughout the day while I was at work! Weird, huh?
And now, realization is setting in... Could I be addicted to SparkPeople??? I'm not on Facebook or MySpace or any other kind of social network... so I don't have any experience w/this sort of thing.
Is it possible??? Am I?
Short & sweet tonight!
I weighed in at 208.8 lbs this morning for a loss of 10.2 lbs since beginning SP on 8/11/10! I'm very pleased with my results thus far & plan to continue doing what I've been doing! So, I have walked today. I've had my water. I've tracked my food & I'm pretty much on target for the day! And I've checked in often with SP!
For now, I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing, 'cause it's working! How's the saying go?
...If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I think that's it!
Life is good & I'm gonna keep Sparkin!
When I think about how far I've come since joining SparkPeople on 8/11/10, I realize just how far I'd fallen when it comes to my overall health & well-being. I was a BIG couch potato... & I was always either stress eating or eating out of boredom. At times, I couldn't find the right food to satisfy my cravings, so I would just eat & eat until either I was stuffed or it was time to go to bed. I'm NOT kidding! My portions were waaayyy out of control! Sometimes I would have seconds or even thirds! The foods I ate were often loaded with fat, heavy duty with carbs... &/or high in calories...non of which were any good for my body! I was embarrassed by my weight & hid my body w/long jackets or cover up shirts. Oh, like no one could tell I was overweight! (eyes rolling)
Well, this is ALL in the past! Since I've joined SP, my life has changed...& for the better! I now choice carefully what I eat & log it dutifully. I eat when I'm hungry. I move my body off the couch EVERYDAY! And I ENJOY it! I now look forward to each & every day! I am proud of what I've accomplished thus far...& know that I'm on a path that will take me to where I want to go! A healthier & fit me! I'm a diamond in the rough! Oh, watch me shine!
Catch me if you can!
I aspire to be in excellent health & physically fit! The things I'm doing currently to accomplish this are:
1. Monitoring all that I eat.
2. Making better choices by selecting more wholesome & nutritious foods.
3. I am eating to live...not living to eat!
4. Perform some type of activity to move my body everyday!
I desire BETTER health! I desire LONGEVITY! I desire a sense of WELL-BEING!
I am RESPONSIBLE for my body & I WILL take care of myself! I am the ONLY one that can give me the lifestyle I desire, & I must EARN IT everyday! I banish the old....& welcome the new! An enthusiastic & motivated me! A healthier & fit me! Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh! I am on my way!
Catch me if you can!
Busy these last couple of days w/lots going on!
Been thinking....& I've decided to recommit my desire for a healthier lifestyle EVERYDAY! So, today I vow to take responsiblity for myself & take care of me!! Today I vow to track my food! Today I vow to perform some type of activity & MOVE my body! Today I vow to eat reasonably & nutritiously! Today I vow to drink my water! Today I vow to give support to others as we pursue the quest for a better life! Today I vow to spread the spark! Today I vow!
Catch me if you can!

Many of my colleagues were out in Atlanta last week for the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, a truly immense conference that is like a small town of sociologists invading a series of hotels and conference rooms (as you well might imagine, cocktail hour is off the chain). I couldn't make it this year but reading through this morning's mainstream media (MSM) reports on different studies discussed at the conference makes me feel like I was right there!
Well, not really.
Here's an age-old beef between scientists (social or otherwise) and journalists: the former tend to be exceptionally careful about drawing conclusions from their research. It's one thing to argue, "Data X and Data Y show a relationship," it's another thing altogether to actually argue, "Data X is the cause of Data Y." This is what's known as the correlation vs. causality distinction and it is absolutely fundamental to any kind of responsible research methodology and discussion.

The problem is, journalists—or perhaps better said, editors—aren't such big fans of that kind of nuance. They want an attention-grabbing headline that definitively states to the casual reader, "X causes Y." A headline reading, "X and Y show a relationship but future research is needed to prove a causal link" is not so sexy. And hey, I work in journalism, I understand the importance of a sexy headline (ahem, you read this post, didn't you?) but sexy + responsible are not always soul mates.
Case in point, there's a slew of articles that have come out post-ASA meeting and one that's generated the most interest by news organizations can be summed up in this series of headlines, all of which completely railroad over nuance and careful conclusions in favor of sexy:
"Study: Teen Sex Won't Always Hurt Grades" (Time)
"Sex in romantic relationships is harmless" (Times of India)
"How Teen Sex Affects Education" (BusinessWeek)
"Teen sex not always bad for school performance" (AP)
Of this batch, all of them insinuate a direct relationship between teen sex and school performance. But you read the actual articles themselves, you get practically no useful information about the study except what the headline implies. Most of these articles are very short, just a few hundred words (if even that) and most barely include anything from the actual researchers (the Time post, for example, has nary a quote), telling the reader what conclusions they're actually drawing and why. The one article that actually bothers to do any of this is the BusinessWeek post but it too is still relatively short.
Here's the thing: I'm not saying this study is being reported wrong, i.e. that the headlines actually misinterpret the study. But if I had reported on this, the very first thing I would have done is contact the two lead researchers, UC Davis' Bill McCarthy and U-Minn's Eric Grodsky and ask, "couldn't it be the case that students with high grades are more likely to pursue stable sexual relationships vs. students with low grades are also more likely to engage in casual sex?" In other words, maybe grades and relationship types are linked by some third factor: personality type, home stability, parental oversight, etc. It's a natural question, something any social scientist worth their salt would at least ask, just to get it out of the way.
And I'm almost certain Grodsky and McCarthy would have discussed this at the conf or at least, fielded it during the Q&A session. But it's not part of the MSM's conversation of the study. As usual, unfortunately.
By coincidence, news about this study comes out just a few weeks after Contexts (a sociology magazine/journal published through the ASA) just ran a really fascinating article summarizing recent research on so-called "hookup culture".
Authors Laura Hamilton (UC Merced) and Paula England (Stanford) are trying to make sense of what's become a fairly high-profile topic in recent "pop sociology" books: the casual sex lives of young men - and in particular - women. That includes Laura Stepp's Unhooked, Jessica Valenti's The Purity Myth and Ariel Levy's Female Chauvinist PIgs. Hamilton and England respond by looking through a host of different studies to see how these popular ideas hold up to research scrutiny. Here's a few key points:
