Rider Broncs (14-7)
@Siena Saints (7-12)
Monday, January 24
Times Union Center
Attendance: 7,095
Albany, NY (Sports Network) - Novar Gadson registered a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds as he helped lead the Rider Broncs to a 68-60 win over the Siena Saints in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference battle at the Times Union Center.
Justin Robinson turned out to be the top scorer for the Broncs (14-7, 6-3 MAAC) with 19 points, followed by Jonathan Thompson and Mike Ringgold with 14 and 13 points, respectively, in the team's second consecutive victory.
The Saints (7-12, 4-5), who won the first meeting of the season between the teams back on November 26 by a score of 73-60, were paced by Ryan Rossiter with game highs of 26 points and 15 rebounds, followed by Rakeem Brookins with 10 points. OD Anosike contributed 15 rebounds, but that still didn't make up for his 1-of-9 shooting effort on the night.
Siena shot an abysmal 22.9 percent from the field in the first half, allowing the visitors to move out to a 30-18 lead at the break.
In the second half the Saints used 6-of-11 shooting behind the three-point line to make things interesting, but down the stretch the Broncs pulled away to secure the eight-point decision.
Siena finished with 20 offensive rebounds and a 48-40 edge on the glass overall, but still the team had trouble getting beyond 16 turnovers.

Our Shining Stars: They Were Just Doing Their Jobs
The position of "candy-replenisher" does not exist at Johns Hopkins. Neither does "car-saver" nor "staff-calmer." Yet roles like these have been filled by employees willing to step beyond the scope of their duties, our "Shining Stars." Of those nominated quarterly, 10 demonstrating the most outstanding service receive a $500 cash prize, trophy and recognition at the October Service Excellence celebration. This year's Shining Stars know the value of teamwork. They were willing to help others, not for the recognition, but because, as each of them said, "I was just doing my job." —Christine Werthman School of Medicine Mildred Knight, certified medical assistant, Green Spring Station, noticed that an elderly woman picking up her husband had exited her car without putting the vehicle in park. Knight jumped out of her car and into the visitor's to stop it from crashing. "I just looked, saw and jumped," Knight says. "There was nothing to it." Hopkins Hospital Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Howard County General Hospital Margaret (Peggy) Parsons, patient unit coordinator, follows through with orders, charts and consent forms so that nurses can focus on patient care. She's worked at the hospital for 30 years. "I think I've only called in sick 10 times since I've been here—once for a ruptured appendix," she says. Johns Hopkins

Determine whether a sample time and offset value pair indicate a triggered or asynchronous sample time
boolean_T ssSampleAndOffsetAreTriggeredOrAsync(real_T st, real_T ot)
The Boolean value true if st is equal to INHERITED_SAMPLE_TIME (-1) and ot is either INHERITED_SAMPLE_TIME (-1) or any other negative integer.
The Simulink® engine sets the sample time and offset pairs of a block or its ports (for port-based sample times) to INHERITED_SAMPLE_TIME if the block resides in a triggered subsystem. The Simulink engine sets the offset time to an integer value less than -1 when the block resides in an asynchronous function-call subsystem. By invoking this macro on its sample time/offset pairs, an S-function can determine whether it resides in a triggered subsystem or an asynchronous function-call subsystem.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Yes, the East Village is still a hip place to hang out in New York. But the true hipsters, the hippest of the hip don't live in the Village anymore. Who among the young, the artsty, the posturing can afford $7000 a month rent (and admits to it)? Thus, Williamsburg, Brooklyn has sprung up as the new Mecca of Cool. Conveniently located one stop on the L train from the East Village, North Williamsburg is crawling with 20 and 30 somethings from every corner of this country and most others. Coming up from the Bedford subway stop, the formerly Polish neighborhood is now lined with cafes, dimly-lit swank bars, exotic restaurants, vegan fare, vintage clothing store, specialty music, book and video stores, art supply stores and art studios. Last weekend, four new hipster hangouts opened AND the first-ever hipster mall on Bedford. Of course, the nature of hipness is such that as a neighborhood rises, and the rents follow suit, the Truly Cool go elsewhere. The next stop on the L train is Lorimer and South Williamsburg, where garbage still blows through the streets and the rents are not yet truly astronomical. Here (yes, I type in all of my True Coolness from a South Williamsburg apartment) the neighborhood is primarily Puerto Rican. Two blocks away is the largest Hasidic Jew neighborhood in the world. Every day more white, scruffy artist types are added to the mix. I hope it will remain just a smattering of us, but I fear that our encroachment won't end until this neighborhood is just like Bedford. At this very moment I'm typing to the sounds of the apartment next to me being thoroughly refurbished in hopes of alluring more "people like me" (as my landlord disturbingly puts it). Meanwhile, it's a very New York mosaic (melting pot my ass). My friends have warned me against joining a Hasidic Hispanic Hipster gang. If none of those communities appealed to me I could walk a few blocks south and east and hang out with the Italians (or at any rate eat their good pizza at the Galleria on Metropolitan around Graham) or go a little further and hang out with the old Polish men who still speak only Polish amongst themselves. I go to Hasidic neighborhood when I really want to feel like I'm traveling through time and space. Around the corner, on Broadway and Marcy is one the few remaining $6 movie theatres (as opposed to, I kid you not, $9.50 in a regular theatre). The Broadway Diner on Broadway and Wythe (close to the river)has a very misleading name. In place of the many-volumed menu of greasy fare you would expect is a menu with about five items, including fancy salads and the like. Those five items are good, as is the coffee. They don't seem to allow anyone who isn't sufficiently cool through the door, so if you don't have a certificate proclaiming that you're an artist, you should probably stick to the regular diners. The best Thai food I've had is at Planeat Thailand on North 7th between Bedford (the main hipster drag) and Berry. The basil chicken makes me cry from tastejoy. The atmosphere is overwhelming and overly busy, so I suggest taking it out and eating it on the relatively relaxing street corner. For some basic food and sports bar/hip bar environment, go to Teddy's on North 8th and Berry. The best pizza by the slice is at Maria's on Bedford. To revel in the heart of Williamsburgosity go to the L Cafe on North 7th and Bedford. The cooler-than-thou waitstaff will probably mistreat you, your food will likely be mediocre, but you will nonetheless feel drawn to make it your hangout as thousands have before. (unless, of course, you have the good fortune and great pleasure of being waited on by Ms. Sarah Ann Nicholls and be sure to tip her.)

As we've noted, Fox News has been targeting the Congressional Budget Office in an apparent attempt to undermine its conclusion that the health care reform law, if enacted as written, will not increase the federal debt. The campaign to discredit CBO continued this morning, with Fox & Friends featuring CBO director Douglas Elmendorf as the subject of its "Who's Ruining the Economy?" segment:
Why does Fox & Friends think Elmendorf, the head of Congress' nonpartisan office of economists and budget analysts, is ruining the economy? After all, CBO simply provides cost estimates and economic analyses and doesn't make policy. Well evidently, it's because CBO used economic models to estimate the job impact of the stimulus package and didn't "actually go out in the field and count the number of jobs created," in the words of Fox business analyst Stuart Varney.
Fox News advanced the attack that Obama nominee Craig Becker would be an "anti-democratic and anti-free speech" member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) because he believed "employers should have no role in union-organizing elections at all." But during a congressional hearing on his nomination, Becker stated that as a board member, he would be bound by law, which includes the "indisputable" right of employers to express views on unionization.
From the March 10 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
Loading the player reg...
The conservative media's witch hunts against President Obama's nominees and appointees has recently focused on Justice Department lawyers who previously represented terror suspects, as well as judicial nominees Goodwin Liu and Robert Chatigny, and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) nominee Robert Harding. The cases against all of these targets are falling apart.
On March 3, The Washington Times published an editorial misrepresenting Liu's record in order to call him a "radical." Sean Hannity also joined in the dishonest attack on Liu -- a law professor at Berkley and a nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Since then, conservatives including Liu's colleague at Berkley, John Yoo, and the Goldwater Institute's Clint Bolick have vouched for Liu. Bolick wrote: "Having reviewed several of his academic writings, I find Prof. Liu to exhibit fresh, independent thinking and intellectual honesty. He clearly possesses the scholarly credentials and experience to serve with distinction on this important court." And according to the Los Angeles Times, Yoo -- the Bush administration lawyer who authored the infamous torture memos -- said of Liu's nomination: "[H]e's not someone a Republican president would pick, but for a Democratic nominee, he's a very good choice." Liu has also reportedly received the support of James Guthrie, education policy studies director at the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas.
So much for the idea that Liu is a radical leftist.
Today, Fox News' Gretchen Carlson claimed that "some are concerned" that Chatigny -- a federal trial judge who Obama has nominated for elevation to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit -- "may be biased in favor of sex offenders." Carlson's allegation was based on Chatigny's actions during the appeals of a death penalty case involving convicted serial killer and rapist Michael Ross. Chatigny strongly expressed concern that Ross' lawyer was not sufficiently investigating evidence regarding Ross' mental competency. Later, an ethics complaint was brought against Chatigny. But here's the important thing that Carlson left out: a panel of judges cleared him of charges and declared his actions "reasonable." And this wasn't a whitewash by a bunch of leftists; the panel included Michael Mukasey, who went on to become President Bush's attorney general. According to media reports, several legal experts have also defended Chatigny's actions in the case.
So much for the idea that Chatigny is "biased in favor of sex offenders."
The attack on Harding -- a retired Army general -- is unlikely to fare much better. As we've pointed out, in a March 8 article, WorldNetDaily wrote that Harding has "controversial" views on the need for diversity in the intelligence community. WND claimed that Harding "long has pushed for 'ethnic diversity' as a determining factor in hiring new teams for U.S. military and intelligence agencies." The article quoted November 2003 written testimony Harding gave to a Senate subcommittee stressing the need for diversity hiring in the intelligence community. But Harding's views are neither controversial nor unique. Indeed, President Bush's Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell said during a conference, "It is now our policy across this [intelligence] community that we do not screen out first generation Americans. The very people that we need in this community to speak the languages, understand the cultures, are the ones who have come to America from the distant shores." He later said, "[O]ur focus is to get a more diverse culture," and that "[w]e have got to have more diversity." Other intelligence officials have made similar statements.
So much for the idea that Harding has controversial views on diversity.
Which brings us to the ridiculous attacks on DOJ lawyers who once represented detainees: Fox News, Investor's Business Daily, and Washington Post columnists Bill Kristol and Marc Thiessen have all participated in the attacks. Several of the attackers have suggested that -- in the word of Fox contributor Monica Crowley -- the DOJ lawyers are "terrorist sympathizers." These attacks have not led to any firings, but they have resulted in condemnation from the media and from several prominent conservative lawyers as well as Mukasey. Indeed, even former independent counsel Ken Starr has slammed these attacks and compared the DOJ lawyers to John Adams and Atticus Finch.
When the attacks on the Obama administration officials lead Ken Starr to compare the targets of the attacks to Atticus Finch, it's time for the witch hunters to pack it in and go home.
Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen appeared on Fox & Friends to promote his attacks on Department of Justice lawyers who previously represented or advocated for terror suspects and other detainees. Thiessen claimed the lawyers were "trying to spring terrorists out of Guantanamo" and again distorted DOJ lawyer Jennifer Daskal's past legal arguments.
In his March 8 Washington Post column, Marc Thiessen made a series of false and misleading attacks in an attempt to defend the witch hunt against Department of Justice lawyers who represented terror suspects in U.S. courts. One other argument Thiessen made also leaps out at me: Thiessen compares the DOJ lawyers who represented detainees to "mob lawyers." Thiessen wrote:
Would most Americans want to know if the Justice Department had hired a bunch of mob lawyers and put them in charge of mob cases? Or a group of drug cartel lawyers and put them in charge of drug cases? Would they want their elected representatives to find out who these lawyers were, which mob bosses and drug lords they had worked for, and what roles they were now playing at the Justice Department? Of course they would -- and rightly so.
Yet Attorney General Eric Holder hired former al-Qaeda lawyers to serve in the Justice Department and resisted providing Congress this basic information. In November, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee sent Holder a letter requesting that he identify officials who represented terrorists or worked for organizations advocating on their behalf, the cases and projects they worked on before coming to the Justice Department, the cases and projects they've worked on since joining the administration, and a list of officials who have recused themselves because of prior work on behalf of terrorist detainees.
When someone uses the phrase "mob lawyers," what comes to mind? The first image that I thought of was that of Tom Hagen, the attorney (or consigliere) for the Corleone crime family in the Godfather saga. Hagen was intimately involved in the Corleones' crimes. It turns out that so-called "mob lawyers" have been convicted themselves for criminal activities. Of course, there is no evidence that the lawyers Thiessen is targeting have been involved in any criminal activity.
I don't mean to suggest that people accused of being involved in organized crime aren't entitled to an attorney. They are. And lawyers who have representing a person accused in an organized crime case should not be disqualified from joining the Department of Justice and being "put ... in charge of mob cases."
But Thiessen did not refer simply to "lawyers who represent defendants in organized crime cases"; he used the phrase "mob lawyers," with all the suggestion of criminality that that loaded term entails.
It also bears noting that The Washington Post itself has condemned the people involved in the attacks on the DOJ lawyers for acting as if those lawyers "had committed a crime:"
It is an effort to smear the Obama administration and the reputations of Justice Department lawyers who, before joining the administration, acted in the best traditions of this country by volunteering to take on the cases of suspected terrorists. They now find themselves the target of a video demanding that they be identified, as if they had committed a crime or needed to be exposed for subverting national security.
It is important to remember that no less an authority than the Supreme Court ruled that those held at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, must be allowed to challenge their detentions in a U.S. court. It is exceedingly difficult to exercise that right meaningfully without the help of a lawyer. It is also worth remembering that the Bush administration wanted to try some Guantanamo detainees in military commissions -- a forum in which a defendant is guaranteed legal representation. Even so, it took courage for attorneys to stand up in the midst of understandable societal rage to protect the rights of those accused of terrorism. Advocates knew that ignorance and fear would too often cloud reason. They knew that this hysteria made their work on these cases all the more important. The video from Keep America Safe proves they were right.
Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen defended the witch hunt against Justice Department attorneys who previously represented terror suspects and other detainees, falsely suggesting that criticism of the witch hunt has come only from progressives, when, in fact, conservatives have also condemned the attacks.
Fox & Friends again attacked the Department of Justice for hiring lawyers who previously represented terror suspects or supported their legal arguments. But as a FoxNews.com article has noted, Bush administration lawyers also represented Guantánamo Bay detainees before working for the Justice Department, and several past Bush and Clinton DOJ officials have called these attacks "shameful" and "wrong."
From the March 4 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
Loading the player reg...
Guest-hosting Fox News' Your World, Eric Bolling asserted that "a couple months ago, the Obama administration empowered the EPA to declare five gases as dangerous gases." In fact, in 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that GHGs "fit well within" the Clean Air Act's "definition of 'air pollutant' " and ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency is required under the Clean Air Act to examine the science on the effects of greenhouse gases and to issue appropriate regulations based on that assessment.
From the February 4 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
Loading the player reg...
A RedState post -- advanced by the Fox Nation -- cited a recent Department of Homeland Security report noting that "[d]ependence on fossil fuels and the threat of global climate change" threatens "America's national interests" to question whether "DHS is more serious about Homeland Security than they are about advancing Obama Administration policy goals." However, defense and intelligence experts -- including a National Intelligence Council chair under President Bush -- have previously said that climate change and fossil fuel consumption are relevant to national security.
Fox News host Bill Hemmer raised the tired specter of ACORN receiving federal funding to attack Department of Housing and Urban Development funding included in President Obama's 2011 budget proposal. Conservatives in the media have exhaustively cited the possibility of federal money going to ACORN to attack health care reform legislation, the financial bailout bill, and the economic recovery act.

Absolutely adore this product. It was the first Lush product I ever tried, and it definitely got me hooked on the brand. The first thing you'll notice is its size and scent. It is Lush's equal biggest bar (same size as Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds). I get 4 uses out of mine by cutting it into 4 equal parts, and using 1 per path. My bath is isn't huge but its probably a bit bigger than average - it's fairly long and deep, and even when I use just one quarter of the bar I get a huge amount of soft, fluffy white bubbles and bright pink water.
It smells truly beautiful - I can't stop sniffing the bar, the water or my skin after using it! I can definitely smell the blackcurrents, and it has a lovely sweetness about it which to me doesn't smell sugary or synthetic, but fruity and natural. I don't find it overpowering in the slightest, but then I do prefer stronger scents. However, if you do give it a whiff and find it too strong, bear in mind that it doesn't smell that strong in the bath - in fact, I have to actually sniff the water/bubbles to smell it once I'm in the bath, and it only lingers on my skin slightly after I get out. If I use a moisturiser after bathing, I can't really smell it on me. This is probably the only thing I wish I could change about it - I love the scent, and would like to smell it on my skin a bit longer after use!
It is also environmentally friendly, as it is one of Lush's many naked products. It comes in that distinctive Lush yellow paper which I keep my bar in and recycle after using it. Another added bonus is that despite the strong pink colour it didn't stain my bath at all.
Yes, it is pricey ($10.50AUD) however as I mentioned above, you can get four uses of out easily (maybe even more with a smaller bath - as mine is fairly large and I still get lots of bubbles and a strong colour with just a quarter, maybe I could use even smaller pieces?) This, in my eyes, justifies the bar as not only can you use it multiple times, but you really do get what you pay for - this bar is very high quality. It smells fantastic, does exactly what it claims (colours the water and gives loads of bubbles) and just provides a wonderful bath experience. I find that it's best to use in winter, on a cold day if you've had a tough day or just need to relax - I had a bath with this the night before an exam and it really helped me feel calm and relaxed, and I slept well that night. This is definitely a product everyone should try at least once.
I adore LUSH, and while I have only recently started venturing more into the bath products instead of just sticking to my tried and true favorites, this is one of my original must haves that I will never go without.
I think that I first bought this because of the colors. Seriously, I can't think of anything more appealing than a pink bath, with LOTS and LOTS of bubbles that smells awesome. And this little wonder is all of that and more.
The smell is seriously incredible. Girly and like candy and everything that I love. The water turns a pretty pink color and the bubbles are large and last the whole time I am in the bath. Some times I use it by itself, other days I pair it with a bath bomb. I just rip off a chunk, drop some in as the tub is filling up, then hold the rest under the faucet as I continue to crumble the bar. It makes fantastic, large, and numerous bubbles.
My only complaint is that 10.95 USD is quite expensive. I do get about six to eight uses out of it though, which I suppose justifies the price.

Love the smell of this and it does a nice job of bubbling up! Its a bit pricey but can be used multiple times.
Planning to repurchase soon!

This bubble bar is one of the only things I consistently repurchase at Lush c: I don't trust any other bubble bath concoction to do the trick... this is it for me! I love the deep pink this bar gives me, and if you do it right, your bathtub will be overflowing in a mountain of lovely-smelling bubbles. I know mine always is! I personally recommend crumbling the bar in your hand while holding it under the pressure of the faucet while you draw your bath. Have fun ladies (and gentlemen)!
This is one of LUSH's most popular bubble bars. To use it, simply break off a piece and crumble it under running water. This is my favorite one by far! Smells lush and girly, without being too sweet. Also, turns the bathwater PINK and adds tons of bubbles. I did not have any trouble with staining in the tub or clogging the drain.

While this smells totally amazing, like bubblegum and candy floss, I don't think I'll be buying this again! When I crumbled it into my bath, I was extremely disappointed with the amount of bubbles it produced - I had heard so many people praising the gigantic, never seen before vast array of sweet smelling bubbles, but somehow, this wasn't true for me. It created very few bubbles, of which I hardly found any scent. Also, the chunk which I had dissolved, or so I thought, hadn't - the bath water was barely bubbly with a hot pink gritty residue beneath me where not all of the product had dissolved. However, the size of the bar was reasonable - it managed to provide me with 5 baths - but I feel it was overpriced for the quality of the product. As much as I adore the smell, I will not be repurchasing, as my skin did not feel particularly moisturising, the residue was a waste, there was a disappointing outcome with regards to bubbles and its slightly overpriced. Smells like heaven but its such a shame.
The smell of this is amazing. Creamy blackcurrants. It's so fruity and delicious! However if you want bubbles you'll need a jacuzzi tub or a shower head to point at the bubble bar when you fill your tub up. I used the whole thing and the water smelled a little bit like the bubble bar but not much. It was a gorgeous magenta color and little pink bubbles lined the tub but I could have gotten better bubbles using soap bars. For the price I expected it to be a little better... ://

This is actually amazing! It's a really nice bubble bar, and I think I know why it's called The Comforter..Because it's actually really comforting & it actually made my skin reasonably soft.! I love everything about this bubble bar.
It smells gorgeous like fruity & blackberries. It makes the water in your bath a lovely shade of pink and there are so many bubbles! Another great thing about this bubble bar is the size of it. Being quite big, you can cut it into 4 or 6 slices (I cut it into 4 because my bath is kinda big). Overall this product is perfect. It felt beautiful and feminine in the bath & it smelt wonderful too. I felt as if I was being pampered.Oh and my super sensitive skin didnt react to it :) It's such a relaxing bubble bar and it really does comfort you. It's a great choice to use right before bed. Love it!

I love this bubble bar! The smell is incredible - and after a long day it's nice to soak in a fresh smelling pink bubbly tub! Very uplifting, girly, and pampering! I highly recommend if you are looking for a bubble bar with a lot of uses/product. You only need to crumble the smallest amount under the running water every time.
More reviews by raspberrysorceress
Mmm, how I love this! Not only is it gorgeous to look at but it smells devine, and it is oh-so-relaxing to bathe in. I used this with my SO and we both couldn't believe how good it smelt and how pretty the colour of the water was. I even used a bit of the undiluted fragments of the bar to clean my skin with and it made my skin soft and smelling beautiful. It's expensive, but you could definitely get a few baths out of it. Would definitely repurchase.

COURTESY College of the Canyons
Overcoming mistakes, including a DUI conviction, College of the Canyons alum and father Jorge Vasquez is trying to use his education to turn his life around for himself and his family.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Jorge Vasquez started his educational journey at College of the Canyons in the summer of 2012.
At the time, Vasquez was a 27-year-old single father sharing custody of his daughter, and looking to enroll in school after six years away from the classroom.
But he also had a criminal record, having previously served time at both the Los Angeles County Men's Central Jail and Pitchess Detention Center for convictions related to driving under the influence.
Because of his background, Vasquez found it extremely difficult to find steady work.
Worse yet, a sudden change in his living situation had left Vasquez and his 2-year-old daughter, Miranda, essentially homeless, forcing the family to couch surf between friends and relatives throughout the summer.
"The reality of my situation finally set in when a clerk at the Department of Public Social Services asked me to write down my place of residence and all I could provide at the time was a billing address," said Vasquez. "The clerk told me to check homeless. My daughter became my motivation," added Vasquez, "and I decided right then that I would take the first step toward my goals by completing the summer session."
By the end of the summer Vasquez' situation had improved, at least temporarily.
He successfully completed all his classes. And he and Miranda moved in with a family member, which made the prospect of continuing classes in the fall much more manageable.
But Vasquez was still in need of childcare while he worked and went to school.
"When I returned to campus in fall 2013 I was still oblivious to the many on-campus resources offered at College of the Canyons," Vasquez said.
Vasquez was referred to the college's Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, or EOPS, office, which provides additional support services to students who demonstrate both academic and financial need. Funded by the State of California, EOPS helps students to continue, and complete, their education at the community college level.
EOPS staff helped Vasquez secure child care for Miranda at the college's Center for Early Childhood Education (ECE).
As part of his involvement with the EOPS program, Vasquez also completed Counseling 150: Student Success, taught by EOPS director Dr. Pamela Brogdon-Wynne.
The course required him to volunteer at least 10 hours with a local nonprofit organization.
The college's Service Learning department helped place Vasquez at the Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation (SCVEDC), where he stayed on as a volunteer for several months after the semester ended.
Despite his success in enrolling in school, finding a volunteer position he enjoyed and continuing his educational journey, Vasquez was still having trouble finding steady employment, mostly due to his previous incarceration.
"I kept applying for different jobs and getting the same results," said Vazquez, who did manage to find temporary and seasonal employment working a combination of jobs, including positions in construction, landscaping and catering.
"Just when I thought things couldn't get any tougher," Vasquez said, "Miranda and I once again found ourselves in a tight bind, and were again looking for a place to live."
Homeless once again, Vasquez took the money he had saved working odd jobs and fixed up his mother's previously abandoned Dodge Caravan.
"For the next month and half, that van was home," said Vasquez.
Determined not to let his daughter grow up in such living conditions, Vasquez sent Miranda to stay with relatives and continued to work multiple part-time jobs — as many as seven at a time — while managing a course load of 14 units in the fall.
Things were tough, but Vasquez' fortunes would soon improve.
After a few weeks living out of the van, Vasquez moved in with a family friend.
All the while Vasquez continued to receive guidance and encouragement from his COC professors.
"Dr. Brogdon-Wynne and Dora Lozano from EOPS, Mike Edwards in the English Department and my math instructor, Ruzanna Baytaryan, each had a tremendous impact on my journey," Vasquez said. "They knew about my situation and gave me lots of advice, and pushed me along the way."
By November 2013, one of Vasquez' supervisors at the SCVEDC, Claudia Dunn-Martinez, had started working in the College of the Canyons Chancellor's Office.
Needing to find some additional staff, and remembering Vasquez' strong work ethic, determination and calm demeanor, she contacted Vasquez to offer him a job.
"I immediately said, 'Yes,' and began working in the Chancellor's Office as a college assistant later that same month," Vasquez said.
During the winter 2013 intersession Vasquez enrolled in six course units, and followed that up with 13 more in spring 2014, as he continued to inch closer to his goal of obtaining an associate degree in accounting.
This summer, just two years later, Vasquez is a 29-year-old single father, a member of the college's 2014 graduating class, and a changed man.
He now holds an associate degree in accounting, a part-time job in the COC Chancellor's Office, a secure place he and his daughter can call home, and plans to transfer to California State University, Northridge to pursue a bachelor's degree in accounting.
"When I first stepped onto campus I was a broken man with no sense of direction. A person who had been incarcerated for extended amounts of time, and a single father that wasn't the best role model for his daughter," Vasquez said. "People just kept telling me, 'If you want to change your life the time is now, and education is the way.'
"I'm extremely grateful and very humbled that I've been given this second chance at life," added Vasquez. "I truly believe that College of the Canyons helped make that happen for me, and I thank everyone that helped me along the way for that opportunity."

I personally have an XBR2 and could not be happier.
I finally talked my dad into replacing the first gen DLP as it was taking several minutes to power on. We looked at the Sony and Samsung LCD's. We decided ont he Sony because the screen had more of a matte finish and he has some glare issues in his living room.
So it came down to the 52" XBR6 and the 52W4100 which is one step below. For the difference in price of $1200, we could not find a reason to go with the XBR over the W. He has been extremely pleased with the 4100, so the extra $ would not have been worth it. The 4100 has been replaced by the 5100.
That reminds me, the a630 Samsung has a matte screen with the 650 being "glossy." I only see slight glare if my light is on and the screen is black.

If you're young, breaking into the security industry can be hell.
Companies have either suffered a data security breach or live in fear of
one. So when they're hiring new IT security personnel, they want years
of experience. If you're fresh out of college, that's a problem.
Another problem is that security practitioners are control freaks by
nature. They have to be, if you stop and think about it. They have a
huge responsibility, and delegating some of the work to younger pups is
a lot to expect.
But here's the problem: The future of information security is in the
hands of the youth. That may seem a clichd statement; so obvious it
sounds stupid. But it's a fact.
This column isn't an invitation for young upstarts to cry and lament
about the disadvantages they have. Instead, it's about a few things you
can do to break through and make it in the industry. Think of it as
suggestions for becoming a security rock star, which you almost have to
be to make a difference these days.
This morning I'm at Security B-Sides Boston, listening to a talk from
someone who is fighting this battle right now. Joseph Sokoly, a security
analyst at NetBoundary, recently gave a talk at the Austin, Texas
B-Sides event about the troubles of being young in the security
industry. This time, he's in Boston giving an update on where his career
trajectory has taken him in the weeks since then.

Nvidia has been working hard on their Android gaming themed device called the Shield since it was originally released for public consumption. Since the device's launch, Nvidia has pumped out some pretty solid software updates to boost performance and stability with the Shield but today's new OTA update brings some big changes that make the Shield even better.
Ouya said, back before the console launched, that their Android-powered console would see new versions of it being released with updated hardware on a regular basis. The company did warn everyone that this would basically mean that a new console would be released every year or pretty much every year as long as their is a substantial upgrade in hardware to do.
MOGA has been working on a new controller that is vastly different from their current offerings. While the company's previous controllers look and act more like console controllers, the new MOGA Ace Power is a lot different and looks similar to that of Phonejoy's controller that is just hitting the market.
One of the features that Nvidia's Shield was announced to have was the ability to stream PC games to it so you can play those game on your Shield. While the short term goal was local streaming from your own PC, the long term goal is to have streaming available no matter where you are as long as you have an internet connection. This would be through Nvidia's GRID streaming service which we've talked about a few times already.
One of the biggest issues with the Ouya game console is the fact people have no real way to have external storage usage. So once your internal storage is filled up, you're kind of left in the dark as to what to do. It's a problem Ouya is well aware of and have been working on it for a bit now. The good news is it looks like a solution is coming closer to happening.
A lot of people have had their eyes on Mad Catz who have promised to build the most powerful Android-based console that would be available when it launches. While the company has been tight lipped over the specs of the console, we did get some hands-on time with a prototype version with prototype hardware during the GameStop Expo this year.
Phonejoy has been making controllers for mobile gamers for a bit now and while their first product saw a little success their second controller is looking like it may pull in a lot more sales. This is partly because the controller will actually slide together when not in use, making it more compact and easier to carry along with you. The other reason could be because it fits right to your phone with the buttons and controls located on the sides of your device instead of how a standard controller is set up.
Ouya has pumped out a new firmware update that addresses a few issues that had come up regarding a few different problems that would cause the system to crash. While this was one main focus for the update another was just improving the overall discoverability of games on the Android-powered game console.
Gameloft has released an announcement but this is one of those rare ones where it doesn't pertain to a specific game getting released or one of their titles getting a big content update. Instead this announcement has to do with optimizing their games, or more specifically, optimizing all of their games for devices that use Intel's Architecture.
It seems as though a new statue has appeared on the green lively grass over at Google's main campus and it is that of a giant Andriod made out of Kit Kat bars. This means that the new version of Android will be named after the breakable chocolate bar.
Created by the maker of Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner, The Last Express (originally released onto PC in 1997) is another one of this game developer's premier titles which is now available on Google Play thanks to DotEmu. The Last Express takes place in 1914 on the Orient Express train where players will be interacting with 30+ characters on-board the train itself.

This edition of Library Look brings us the La Grange Public Library's Vicki Rakowski, Head of Youth Services.
Q. How long have you been with the library?
A. Seven months – the time has really flown by!
Q. What is your favorite part of your job at the library?
A. Getting to know the families and the kids who come into the department and finding the right books for them. It's the one of the greatest feeling in the world getting just the right book for somebody.
Q. What is something library users may not know about you?
A. I am an internet-ordained minister – a friend asked me to perform her wedding ceremony, so I went online and got ordained. That's something I wouldn't have predicted ever doing!
Q. What do you think is an underused feature/service of the library, or what is your favorite feature/service?
A. Universal Class – it's a really cool product that patrons can use their library cards to access online. It's a self-directed online class database. You can take classes in everything from Gardening and Home Improvement to HTML Writing and Reiki Studies! It's pretty cool: http://bit.ly/1l96RVN
Q. What is your favorite book and why?
A. My all-time favorite book for grown-ups is "Persuasion" by Jane Austen. It's such an elegant book about second chances, and knowing and trusting yourself, even when it's difficult to do that. My all-time favorite book for kids is "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" by E.L. Konigsburg. Mostly because it's awesome.
Q. What author or character would you like to meet? Why?
A. I'd love to meet Jane Austen, mostly so I could tell her how much everybody loved her novels, and how much she means to so many people. I always felt like it was so sad that there was no way for her to know how much of an impact she had on the world.
Q. What are your hobbies?
A. Oh, I have a zillion of them – reading, writing, water-coloring, baking, cooking and collecting new hobbies.

inter airport China 2014, which took place from 15 to 17 October in Beijing at the China International Exhibition Centre attracted some 4,500 participants from the airport and aviation industry. Whilst the majority of the attendees to the show were from China, there was a large number of overseas visitors to China's premium event for the entire airport industry.
A significant trend was the increased presence of Chinese exhibiting companies. Domestic firms continued to account for more than 60% of the floor space at the show, which this year was equipped with larger and well-designed stands. International participation was also strong. This included the national pavilions hosting leading suppliers from Germany (coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology) and from New Zealand (coordinated by the New Zealand Trade and Enterprises).
This year's highly successful event saw the outdoor stand space increase by over 100%, underlining the increasing global profile of the inter airport brand; a development welcomed by exhibitors and visitors. The outdoor space allowed participating companies to present larger items of airport equipment in a manner that is not possible inside the exhibition hall.
ITW Airport Ground Equipment Beijing and Shanghai Hangfu said: "A great show – we are very satisfied"
Vacalex offered its view of the event: "This is a professional and niche exhibition and it attracts a lot of key customers from China and also other countries in Asia."
Hubei Space Double Rhombus Logistics Technology Co., Ltd. said: " Firstly, the exhibition is in relatively high level. Exhibitors and visitors are professional. Secondly, the layout and atmosphere of the exhibition is very good."
Schmalz (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. said:" Good, expect an even better show in 2014!"

Environmental Provisions
Conflict Resolution
State Practices Database
Performance Reporting
Transportation Liaison CoP
Section 1309 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) directs the Department of Transportation to develop and implement a coordinated review process for highway construction projects. The review process would be applied to projects that require either the preparation of environmental impact statements (EISs) or environmental assessments (EAs) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), or the conduct of any other environmental review, analysis, opinion, or issuance of an environmental permit, license, or approval by operation of Federal law. Section 1309 is entitled "Environmental Streamlining", and its charge for a coordinated environmental review process reflects the concern over delays in implementing transportation projects.
The perception that NEPA results in delays and additional costs to the delivery of transportation projects is a common one; projects for which the preparation and approval of EISs have taken several years to complete are well known. Much of the information available concerning the time required to complete this phase of the project development process has come from anecdotal sources, generally focused on individual projects. What has been missing from the discussion about project delay is an analysis of the direct effect that compliance with the requirements of NEPA has on the ultimate schedule and cost of delivering a completed transportation project.
With this comparison in mind, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Louis Berger Group undertook a research study whose purpose was to provide a better understanding of the impacts of the NEPA process on the total time involved in completing a Federal-aid highway or bridge project for use by the public. The results of this study, entitled "Evaluating the Performance of Environmental Streamlining: Development of a NEPA Baseline for Measuring Continuous Performance" examines a) the true schedule implications of the NEPA process upon the total project delivery process; and b) the individual factors influencing the amount of time required for the NEPA process for individual projects.
The descriptive statistics on the length of the NEPA process form the core of the research study's findings. The results of the study indicated that, for the projects in the sample and over the course of approximately 30 years, the average time to complete an EIS for a transportation project was approximately 3.6 years. By comparison, the mean length of time for the completion of the project was approximately 13.1 years. Put another way, for the sample's projects, completion of the NEPA process accounted for approximately 28% of the overall time for project development.
Comparisons were made for the time to complete EISs that were prepared during the three decades examined in the NEPA Baseline study. Analysis of the sample projects indicated that EISs completed in the 1970's required significantly less time to prepare than did those completed in either the 1980s or '90s: for 1970s EISs the mean time for completion was 2.2 years, versus 4.4 and 5.0 years for the 1980s and '90s, respectively.
The Study follows this brief summary, and is organized in the following manner:
Section 1.0 is the Introduction, containing the Background and Purpose of the research effort.
Section 2.0 provides a Summary of Related Research that has been conducted in recent years, specifically in terms of establishing NEPA timeframes and costs.
Section 3.0 provides a detailed discussion of the Research Approach used for this study. Specific aspects of the Research Approach addressed include: an Overview; Description of Data Sources; Limitations of Available Data; Selection of the Research Sample; Data Collection Methodology; and Statistical Analysis Methodology.
Section 4.0, Results of Research, provides the basic findings of the study. These findings include: Descriptive Statistics on the Length of the NEPA Process; Descriptive Statistics on Other Factors Considered; Statistical Relationship of Length of the NEPA Process with Other Factors; and Use of Results as a Baseline for Evaluating Future Environmental Streamlining Initiatives.
Section 5.0 provides a discussion of Conclusions and Recommendations. This section presents a summary of the findings and offers recommendations for continuing related research in the future.
Section 6.0 provides a List of Preparers.
NOTE: A series of Appendices, denoted A through T, that assist in illustrating details of survey sample development, data collection, use of data sources, and statistical analysis of the data are included in the complete copy of the Baseline Study. These appendices, however, have not been included in the web-version of the Study. For details, contact Kreig Larson at 202-366-2056, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BTW Jamaica tastes quite a bit like cranberry, I drink it all the time down here. oh, and Bathory FTW
Changed up the recipe a bit, to fit more to their style description. Removed the Carafa and upped the chocolate to 5 ounces. Color is kinda light, but I think it will darken a great deal with syrup. The Mt. Hood bittering should lend well to the sweetness and the EKG will bring out the chocolate notes and round out the flavor. EDIT: I also increased the bittering hop. I'm still not sure on the yeast, but if I'm currently leaning towards the Australian Ale yeast:White Labs - WLP009
Alright, new changes. After much discussion with a friend, we decided to drop the aromatic, vienna and munich. I'm going to boil down 2 gallons of the first runnings to a syrup, and that will create a huge malty character, so those other grains might make it overpowering. I'm thinking twice about the hibiscus. He had some other spices that may work better with less flavor, one of them is kind of spicy and sounded pleasant. I may just skip the spices the first time, anyway. I also changed the EKG out for Styrian Goldings...much softer, purely pleasant flavor, won't have the musty earthiness of the EKG. Oh, and now I'm leaning more towards the edinburgh ale yeast. So this fits within the guidelines of a bitter, but is more like an imperial irish red.
Aw don't skip the hibiscus! If you make a tea, boil it down a bit to concentrate it you won't even take up much room liquid wise when you add it. I don' think a straight tea from the leaves would yield much in the way of fermentables, but the flavour of the stuff is awesome. I want to brew a jamaica beer now! I'm going to get working on the recipe... I could see a cerveza style beer, but I don't like them much. Maybe a jamaica blond?
Jamaica blonde might be good, but I know only from description...haven't tried jamaica yet. I think I'll make this as-is and then try to add stuff in the glass to see if I want to take it anywhere. I just don't want to kill this idea by getting it wrong the first time.
OK, I accept your proposed late addition to glass prior to drinking
jamaica is very tart; it's only sweet in tea form or in agua fresca because there's plenty of sugar added. if you want the overall impression of the beer to be sweet, you're going to have to make it even sweeter to counter the hibiscus tartness

I have lived in my house for 5 years now and haven't done anything with the landscape. I have found that anytime I am wondering the local nurseries I just get overwhelmed. I want some easy to maintain landscaping, but I want it to look very clean and "professional." I don't have a problem doing the dirty work, I just don't really know what plants pair well together. I know if I did it, I would make it look like I threw random plants in the ground. I really like palms trees and the such. I think the main thing is clean looking and lower maintenance... A little shrub trimming wouldn't be bad, I just don't have a ton of time to work on it every weekend. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance! |

And this is my side yard. I had to pull the middle hedges because some if them had died off because of a black fungus. I was thinking about putting hedges back, or possibly taller ornimental grass with something in between to break it up. |
Wish you had better pictures. They're a bit dark and muddy. Could stand to be 25% larger, too. Can't see details of the area where palms, fence and some kind of stone wall is at the left half of first picture. How much depth of bed is there between the walk and fence in second picture? |
I would put the standard California beauties...bougainvillea all along the fence and porch, bird of paradise for some height along the porch and corner, and ice plant for ground cover in front of the porch. Also just pop in some annuals like geranium, petunia, etc. (these can be removed easily when they croak). Low maintenance, evergreen, and pretty during the blooming season. Do make sure your HOA approves your plantings if there is one. |

Great suggestions Sasafras! How about a dwarf Japanese Maple "Red Dragon", at one of the front corners of the front bed. |
It looks to me as if the bed rounding the porch is too shallow for shrubs. Perennials would work there. How do you irrigate? |
