Introduction to Android App Development for Adults
June 2013 Class Testimonies:
"Leshell taught us some very important things to consider before even opening App Inventor, especially that one should create apps that increase productivity, improve quality of life, or serve some other helpful purpose, and not just to make a profit." CS
"I definitely enjoyed the class. This class informed me about how readily open sources are available for application development." PD
"I really appreciate Leshell's teaching style. She makes the whole process simple and not intimidating - you can really enter this class with no programming background at all." KB
This 2-day course in app development using MIT App Inventor occurs monthly, so if you miss one month, you can sign-up the next. The fee is $80.00 and will be used to offset fees for students in our programs for youth. From the App Inventor website:
"Creating an App Inventor App begins in your browser where you design how the app will look. Then, like fitting together puzzle pieces, you set your app's behavior. All the while, through a live connection between your computer and your phone, your app appears on your phone. "
Prerequisite(s): None
Stay tuned for the next class!
Cost: $80.00

MYLES & AYESHA™ lead a research effort in culturally relevant learning technology. They are positioned as 'learning companions' and provide children, especially African-American children, with reflections of themselves and their ways/behaviors as they learn and grow. We believe placing them within the learning context gives children a sense of familiarity, encourages more interest and engagement, and provides them with a companion as they learn. This belief will be tested in various forms of learning technology - animation, mobile technology, interactive games and activities, as well as books and other forms of written material. Thus, making this a research and development effort. top

This project launched in 2003 (formerly called 'Project Aiesha') and was reborn during the summer of 2011. The website is still in progress. A team of Youth APPLab girls have been working on an app and the webite, with the hope of officially launching both by Thanksgiving 2011.

About Me Budget Shopper
It works for keeping the bugs out when I have the window open.
Didn't do the job
By lucky
from harmony, pa
Liked the size but didn't stick like I thought it should
Doesn't stick as well as it should
By Molly
from Northfield, MN
it would be perfect if it had more stick - I taped my screened in deck and found some of the pieces had fallen off. I couldn't figure out how to get it to stick better.
Great inexpensive fix
By Hate to clean
from Lexington Park, MD
We tore 2 of my mom's screens at the bottom when powerwashing her house and couldn't get them out to replace them. I saw this and hoped it would work. The color is a little off, but it looks okay and they are repaired well enough that she can open up her windows again. I just wish it had been a little stickier. It seems to be sticking but just not sure if it will hold through the winter.
By Bonnie on Maui
from Lahaina HI
I bought this thinking great ! Now I can fix those small holes in the screen so I dont have to replace it .Wrong ! I have replaced the strips over the holes 4 times now and they last about a day and then they fall off .A total waste of time and money

By vsc2011
from Coventry, Connecticut
I followed the instructions, but unfortunately, the tape didn't stick. I tried putting 2 more pieces going the other direction to hold the 1st piece on, but that didn't work either. All 3 pieces fell off, I gave up at that point. Sorry, I cannot recommend this product.
Handy to have around!
By Nate
from Indanapolis IN
I used this screen repair tape for small rips in the screen sections on my back porch. It works great!

Disappointing, tape lacks stickiness and doesn't work.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: Doris WilsonDate: February 08, 1998 at 19:33:14
In Response To: Re: Polymyalgia rheumatica/ Type A (Sue Noon)
Hello Sue, I appreciate the information on PMR. I am 57 and two weeks ago woke up with what is now PMR> I went to the arthritis dr. and he is treating me with naproxin, but it's not working. I guess, from what I am reading on the internet, the only sure treatment seems to be steroids. I was hoping not to have to do that, but the pain as you well know can be unbearable at times. I also read your son's info and will give that a try. Thanks again for the info. Until last week, I had never heard of PMR. Doris

Rob Glazer Still Going on About Superphones
Posted by Zealot on Jul 08, 2010 | 12 Comments
"Superphone" has been growing into the hot buzzword over the last couple years, ever since it was coined on GigaOM by John Sangiovanni. Since then, the term has gone more than a little out of control. A Superphone is of course one of the big screened, app driven, powerful monsters that have become the big news on blogs like this one. The iPhone, the Droid X, the EVO 4G, the Galaxy S…can't really call them Smartphones...

The difference between running boards and nerf bars may seem very small at first glance. But when you start to break down the nuts and bolts of each truck accessory, you start to realize there's a world of differences that set these upgrades for your pickup apart.
The function of a nerf bar or a running board is to make it easier for you to get in and out of your truck, SUV, CUV or even your van. People have been adding them as upgrades since the first truck rolled off the production line. Thanks, Henry Ford! Both have specially molded surfaces that provide a non-slip gripping area for you to put your foot. It's the perfect solution for clearance issues as well as dealing with the elements such as ice, snow, mud, and water.
Read our Nerf Bars Resource Guide and Running Boards Resource Guide separately to get the full story!
First, let's talk about the lengths you can buy in both nerf bars and running boards.
Each size is available in different finish options with many brands RealTruck carries.
Size is the second largest factor when determining the difference between nerfs and boards. It's super easy to distinguish size differences in nerf bars. They come in easy to understand shapes and inch diameter options. You can choose from oval or round. Both offer diameter options in inches:
Oval nerfs offer the largest diameter options with sizes reaching up to 6 inches. Whereas round offers the smallest, most minimalistic styles with 2 inch options.
Running boards aren't normally offered in size increments, but do provide for a wide stepping base. They start at a minimum of around 4 inches wide and get up to around 7 inches or even larger on some select styles. Because they are custom fit to the year, make, and model of your pickup truck, some sizing may vary from product to product.
The biggest difference when it comes to size between nerfs and running boards is the shape. Nerfs are tubular and running boards are flat and most often rectangular. Some running boards do have rounded edges, giving them a more "tube-like" look, but because of their rectangular and flat construction, they're classified and side step boards.
Material and finish options can drastically alter the look of a running board. It opens the doors to many different options when it comes to upgrading your truck's look!
Both are constructed with almost identical materials that hold many of the same properties. However, running boards do allow for more finish options than nerf bars.
Nerf bars can be purchased in the following finishes:
Running boards have a wider selection of options:
Because running boards have more options, folks sometimes feel they can add more flash and style to their trucks or sport utility vehicles. Don't let the idea of a small finish selection fool you. Nerf bar product selection varies greatly between brands, especially on RealTruck.com. So take some extra time to click through and see what you might like when it comes to looks as well as functionality.

This Bitch Is STILL Trying To Swim From Cuba To Florida, 2012 Edition
(Newser) – Diana Nyad was about halfway through her swim from Cuba to Florida this morning, as her team attempted to get her through a storm. The 62-year-old is safe and still feels good, they say, and yesterday was "awesome" despite the fact that she suffered several jellyfish stings, her operations chief blogged last night. He added that as she swims, Nyad has been accompanied by the music of the Black Eyed Peas coming from the watercraft accompanying her. The 103-mile swim across the Straits of Florida is expected to take Nyad at least 60 hours, meaning that—if all goes according to plan—she will arrive in the Florida Keys tomorrow; as of early this morning, she had been swimming for 34 hours. If that happens, Nyad will become the first person to make the swim unassisted and without a shark cage. Her crew keeps the sharks away via a faint electric field generated by a device that the kayaks escorting her carry. She also has handlers ready to jump in and distract sharks if necessary, the AP reports.
Will this bitch just hurry up and drown? Sick of writing these goddam blogs. Is it even gonna be impressive anymore if she accomplishes this made up feat? Congrats Danielle you've spent 30 fucking years trying to swim from point A to point B! You finally did it once! Plus all this talk about her being the first to swim "unassisted" is such bullshit. You've got a team of kayaks shooting out a force field to protect you from sharks. That ain't assistance?
Bottom line is I wish I could just move Cuba like 20 miles closer to Florida so this chick can finally achieve her goal and get the fuck out of my life.
PS – The only people more pathetic than Diana Nyad is her "crew." What the fuck is their deal? Just every few months you guys round up your boats and kayaks and sail for like 30 hours with this chick until she gives up for the 20th time?

10/9 – If Only…
I had read this before letting that Brunette lady borrow the car. She seemed so sincere when she said she just needed it for a couple of minutes!
14 Comments
The guy in the last panel looks really pissed and accusatory.
He likely suspects Suzy Two-Tone of killing off her husband.
You know, it's true. I am a sucker for false character.
"Dammit Gwen, Charlie was my best friend!"
I think that is her husband, actually.
"How could you let your hair do that? Now my days are numbered!"
Yeah, I read it as her superstitious husband miffed that the little lady allowed something like this to happen and said something nasty to her, hence the crying… which then leads to her bludgeoning him later that night with a mutton leg, thus fulfilling the prophecy.
vitaligio = dead husband! curse you premature grey hair on one side!!!!!!
im sure it had nothing to do with the poison in his martini that night lol
Hey, nice facts! I'll remember them the next time I think of a character's hair!
(For example, Betty And Veronica subvert the sincerity/falseness thing very much! )
Gotta love these old bits of comic book wisdom…
I've seen women in my family turn white in their 30's and yeah, they're still around after 80, even 90 or more.
But gray hair on just one side? That, I've never heard about. Wild stuff!
I figured this would be about 9/11
What about bald women?
This page spends more time promoting the myths than debunking them.
This is nice,I have long black hair it means I am betrayal!..It's fun to play the women hair color.

Re: Created date field
I'm thinking I could implement a coprocessor to do this. I'm still on 0.90.4 ATM, but it's a thought going forward. I haven't played around with coprocessors yet though so not sure if this is feasible.

In a revealing interview, Kristen admits there was a lot of pressure on her and Rob to create the 'ultimate perfect vampire sex,' and how they had to get creative. Sounds like fun!
Many adjectives could be used to describe sex with Robert Pattinson, and although "silly" certainly isn't one that springs to most minds, that what Kristen Stewart said it was like! While many fans have been left reeling from the surprise twist ending of Breaking Dawn Part 2, Kristen says that's not the only thing that differs from the book, as she and Rob wrote their own sex scenes.
While in Berlin for the Breaking Dawn Part 2 German premiere, Kristen revealed all the juicy details about her and Rob's steamy sex scenes, and how they differ from Stephenie Meyer's novel.
Kristen said, "In the book they, are not even described; they're alluded to. You get to kind of write them yourselves. We were intimidated — how do you do the best? How do you blow the world's mind with the ultimate perfect vampire sex?"
She then called the sex scenes "silly, very silly," because there was often up to 200 crew members watching her and Rob. How romantic!
She said, "We were protected, but at the same time very much on display … trying to do something fairly intimate. They got silly to be honest."
Whatever way Rob and Kristen wrote their own sex scenes clearly worked out, because the movie is most certainly not silly!
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Have you seen Breaking Dawn: Part 2 yet?

Sorry,but asking or wanting quality has nothing to do with complaining.one mans meat is another mans poison.the fact is that a lot of people has been fan of twilight for long and maybe awaits something much better in their own eyes in this last part like in the book.it does not mean it keeps them awake at night.it all ends here when they leave this site ,hardly even remember they are here because they are so busy.it does not mean they do not have pleasant life as yourself or even more better.they think is good but should have been better

I thought the so-called sex scene in BD2 was a letdown. It couldn't be really good for a PG13 rating, anyway. The scenes in BD1 were funny and charming but the second movie just didn't make the two people seem very sexy at all. Edward should have been much rougher with Bella and Bella was more tomboy than hot & sexy. Just my opinion friends.

Gulfstream G150
Start the day early in New York, and be in Los Angeles for lunch. In the Gulfstream G150, a coast-to-coast trip is less than six hours nonstop at Mach 0.80.
Gulfstream's passion for innovation was born with that first flight, but raw imagination has matured into a dedication for designing the most sophisticated, best-performing business aircraft in the world. Look at any aircraft in the Gulfstream fleet―from the flagship Gulfstream G650ER to the midsize Gulfstream G150―to understand how The World Standard™ in business aviation is not just a tagline, but an enduring business philosophy.
Gulfstream created a new class of travel with the flight of the first purpose-built business aircraft. Similar innovations span decades of aviation history.
Gulfstream was the first civilian aircraft manufacturer to develop an enhanced vision system. The infrared-assisted vision system changed the way pilots fly at night and in obscured-vision situations. Gulfstream advancements also brought a synthetic vision terrain mapping system, the first in-flight high-speed Internet access and an in-flight computerized monitoring system that notifies technicians when service is due.
Behind the technology is industry-leading reliability. Gulfstream dependability is unrivaled and legendary. The Gulfstream fleet consistently averages a National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) dispatch reliability rating of 99.8 percent.
Rarely does such a commitment to engineering, technology, product support, performance and style come together so well, but at Gulfstream, dedication to excellence is as fundamental as the principles of flight.
Gulfstream aircraft combine speed, range, technology and style to reliably deliver the finest aviation experience in the world. No other business aircraft offers the G650ER's pairing of Mach 0.85 for 7,500 nautical miles/13,890 kilometers. Whether for international travel or a quick trip between coasts, Gulfstream has an aircraft uniquely suited to meet a customer's needs.*
Nearly 200 Gulfstream aircraft in 37 countries operate in support of government and military service special missions, including roles as head-of-state transports, airborne early-warning systems, and in support of international atmospheric data that had never been obtainable before a specially modified Gulfstream G550 went into service.
Since 1967, Gulfstream has been honored to serve all five branches of the U.S. military and other government agencies. Gulfstream aircraft have been used to train astronauts to fly the space shuttle and Navy A-6 crews as navigators, and as platforms to help hurricane hunters track storms.
Gulfstream aircraft provide on-demand dependability, speed and range, configurations and role flexibility and operation capabilities under extreme conditions. Those performance attributes for decades have made Gulfstream aircraft the unequaled choice for special missions platforms. In the United States, Gulfstream aircraft account for the majority of all large-cabin business jets delivered to the government since 1967.
Gulfstream has long maintained a Special Missions Program Office, staffed with program managers and project engineers with a unique understanding of and expertise in fulfilling the most demanding requirements, whether from domestic and international governments or defense contractors.
Once a customer's mission parameters are defined, Gulfstream's program office coordinates aircraft modifications and the installation of state-of-the-art equipment to meet specified purposes.
Gulfstream's ability to modify airframes to unique special mission specifications is the result of decades of experience―the platform matters.

At Gulfstream, those ideals form the core of our work philosophy, and we believe fostering those standards is what helps us create and deliver the world's finest experience in business aviation.
We employ a diverse workforce of more than 15,000 people worldwide. We have employment opportunities ranging from aeronautical engineering and information technology to communications and operations. We attract, develop and retain the best people by providing employees with opportunities to enhance their professional skills as they help develop ever faster, ever better aircraft.
We're proud to be part of General Dynamics. Our Falls Church, Virginia-based parent company employs more than 95,000 people globally and is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat vehicles and systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and mission-critical information systems and technologies.
If you believe you have the skills and passion necessary to become part of the Gulfstream family, apply with us today. See whether your standards are a match for Gulfstream―The World Standard™ in business aviation.
Gulfstream's Research and Development campus in Savannah, Georgia, is a shared base for more than 1,500 employees who develop and test next-generation aviation concepts in laboratories and offices totaling more than 500,000 square feet/46,452 square meters.
In the manufacturing facility for the Gulfstream G650, state-of-the-art computerized machining dovetails with an assembly process engineered for maximum efficiency. As part of the development of the G650, Gulfstream expanded its use of composites and advanced bonding techniques, creating a structure that is lighter, more durable and helps increase fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Partnering with the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Gulfstream developed and patented the Quiet Spike, a nose-mounted telescoping spike designed to suppress the effects of sonic boom in supersonic flight. It's a long-range research investment that promises Gulfstream will remain at the forefront of aviation innovation for years to come.
Every Gulfstream is designed to exceed expectations, and the same standard applies to ensuring owner satisfaction and maintaining the aircraft at peak performance. The Gulfstream network of people, service centers and parts is designed to quickly respond to customers and their aircraft needs wherever in the world they may be, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Gulfstream maintains the largest company-owned product support network in business aviation, combining more than 4,000 professionals with an industry-leading spare parts inventory of more than $1.5 billion that feeds into more than 30 service centers worldwide.
Having skill and inventory is only one part of a successful formula; getting people and equipment quickly to a customer is the other. Gulfstream continues to define the industry standard with its rapidly deployed Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST). Gulfstream's reputation as The World Standard™ has led to another industry-leading benchmark: Operators and pilots for 12 consecutive years have named Gulfstream the top-ranked product support provider in business aviation.
Nothing speaks better to Gulfstream Product Support's commitment to exceptional service than its network of resources that provides assistance every day of the year and every hour of the day.
Gulfstream rapid response capabilities include deploying Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST), round-the-clock expertise from systems specialists in Technical Operations and, through MyCMP, access to aircraft maintenance experts and databases whenever needed, anywhere and at any hour.
With Gulfstream rapid response teams, owners have the added assurance that even when the unexpected occurs—a blown tire, a cracked windshield or a bird strike—the company's technicians and support system will make servicing the sidelined aircraft their highest priority.
Gulfstream has led the evolution of business and personal aviation since the 1958 debut of the Gulfstream I, the world's first purpose-built business aircraft.
Today, Gulfstream produces the world's most advanced business aircraft, with innovations from nose to tail and wingtip to wingtip, all while offering unmatched global product support and service.
Gulfstream's commitment to excellence reflects that of its parent company, General Dynamics. Headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, General Dynamics is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and information systems and technologies. General Dynamics' workforce numbers more than 95,000 employees worldwide.
Gulfstream designs and develops aircraft at its Savannah Research and Development Center. The five-building campus houses engineers and support staff integral to the engineering, manufacturing, testing and development of past, current and future Gulfstream aircraft. Gulfstream Laboratories features the only hemi-anechoic chamber used in the development of business aircraft. A relentless pursuit of performance, efficiency and innovation is what makes Gulfstream jets the world's most advanced business aircraft. More than 115 Gulfstream employees belong to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and approximately 25 more are members of SAE International. Gulfstream employees are also active in the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
Gulfstream manufactures large and ultralarge aircraft at its Savannah, Georgia, headquarters. The company completes midcabin aircraft at a facility in Dallas, Texas. Wiring harnesses, sheet metal components, subassemblies and machined parts are produced at a Gulfstream facility in Mexicali, Mexico. Gulfstream holds an FAA Production Certificate, counts more than 900 Lean Specialist trainees among its employees and offers courses in more than 15 different processes and tools focused on Lean and other sustainability initiatives.
Gulfstream offers a wide array of cabin configurations. The company outfits cabins, paints the exteriors and installs avionics equipment upgrades at the Appleton, Wisconsin; Brunswick, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Long Beach, California; and Savannah, Georgia, completion centers.
Gulfstream coordinates aircraft purchases and plans cabin furnishings with buyers at Sales and Design Centers in Savannah, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; London, England; and Long Beach, California. The showrooms are stocked with myriad leather, fabric, carpet and wood veneer samples as well as dinnerware, flatware and stemware selections. Customers can work with designers and Gulfstream's mobile visualization application, DesignBook, to experiment with various cabin configurations, colors and upholstery in real time.
Gulfstream operates the largest factory-owned service network in the business aviation industry. The support system is anchored by 11 service centers strategically located on four continents, including the world's largest purpose-built business aircraft maintenance facility in Savannah, Georgia. Gulfstream is also the first manufacturer to open a service facility on mainland China at Beijing Capital International Airport. Gulfstream service center personnel perform everything from routine line maintenance and complete structural modifications to engine replacement and interior refurbishment. In addition to the fixed service locations, Gulfstream has Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST) to provide mobile support. This team of ground support vehicles and aircraft performs service remotely and can even complete an engine exchange. Gulfstream's legendary Consider It Done attitude toward product support has earned the company top honors in Aviation International News' survey of aircraft operators every year since 2003.
Start the day early in New York, and be in Los Angeles for lunch. In the Gulfstream G150, a coast-to-coast trip is less than six hours nonstop at Mach 0.80.
No other business aircraft can fly as far as the G650ER. The G650ER also has the fastest cruise rate on longer ranges.
The G650 makes once-distant cities all part of a day's work, and with the lowest pressurized cabin altitude of any business aircraft, passengers arrive feeling refreshed and ready for whatever opportunities lay ahead.
At Gulfstream, the only true complement to innovative aeronautics is impeccable product support.

Vienna Snow
What did you enjoy about your experience?
First off, Vienna is an amazing place in general. After being there I can easily see why CNN ranked it as the number one place to live in the entire world for the second year in a row (No US city placed in the top ten). It is clean and safe with beautiful buildings and parks. It wasn't until I came back home and went out in Chicago that I realized how nice and safe Vienna truly is. There aren't areas that you "don't want to be in late at night" and there are night busses that are included in your public transit pass so I never had to waste money on a cab in Vienna. The people are nice and it is such a laid back culture. People seem to truly enjoy life more there. On any nice day there are tons of people sitting around in the parks eating, drinking, and relaxing. The public transportation is ten times better than Chicago or any other US city I've been in. Also, there are free bicycles that you can pick up and drop off at various stations throughout the city. We were very fortunate to be a part of such a good exchange program. Also, Vienna is relatively cheap compared to most of Western Europe, especially compared to the UK, Ireland, and Paris.
Lastly, go on ski trip. It was the best week of my life, including a full week at a hotel 2000 meters up in the Austrian Alps skiing every day. Even if you don't ski, it is a great place to learn and you don't want to miss this experience.
How was the location?
Austria is centrally located which makes it really easy to travel all over Europe. It is accessible to Western Europe and (underrated and cheaper) Central and Eastern Europe. Not to mention it is in the backdrop of beautiful hills and forests.
How were the courses?
It was cool to be at such a large (20,000 people) business university. As I mentioned earlier, it was great to go abroad and actually have a truly international experience. I was in classes with people from all over the world and a lot of Austrians. The classes were all in English and professors were mostly retired businessmen and women, extremely smart and engaging. Probably the best part of my experience was that you can take "block" style courses in which you go to class for 7 or 8 hours per day for a week and then youre done with the course. I learned a lot in all of my classes but it was great that they aren't as time consuming as U of I classes. This left a lot of time to travel and really enjoy the city.
It was frustrating at times working with people with varying fluencies of English on projects, but a good experience. They aren't as worried about GPAs and grades as Americans are, and a lot of people are just taking courses for credit/no credit, so talk to your professors to get an idea of how the course is structured and how they do grades.
How was the housing?
I had an interesting situation for housing. I ended up in the dorm that was further away from the center of the city and most of the people in my program were in a different dorm. At first this was frustrating, but it eventually caused me to meet a lot more international people and make a lot of different friends. I would suggest living in Haus Erasmus, (I lived in Haus Panorama) but either dorm is fine simply because the public transit is so good.
What do you wish you had known that would have prepared you better?
Have a good traveling backpack. I think most things you just have to learn on the go, I cant really think about too many things that I wish I would have known.
What was the most valuable thing you learned?
I learned a lot of things during my time abroad. I really saw that the world is much bigger than the US, which is hard to comprehend until you actually leave it. I realized the importance of trying new things. You need to take yourself out of your comfort zone and it is really amazing how many doors open up to you and people that you meet that you wouldn't expect. Lastly, there is a lot to learn from people who are different from you, but you have to be willing to hear what they have to say. I was also amazed at how helpful and goodhearted people were whenever we needed help with anything.
What do you want future study abroad students to know?
If you're on the fence about studying abroad, just do it. When you go, don't just hang out with people you already know, put yourself out there. The only problem that you'll run into is not wanting to leave when the semester is over.

If there were one thing to remember about MLB closer situations, it would be that they are fickle investments. Closers that were once steady as the come one season can become loosey-goosey the next season just as easily. This happening should make the measure of a pitcher's skills instead of just results all the more important. Let's look at a few situations of interest…
Brewers: In other news, John Axford has been a pleasant surprise in the Milwaukee bullpen. Axford's ascension has clearly made the Brewers reconsider putting Trevor Hoffman back in the closer spot. While I'm not that impressed with Axford's stuff, he can throw four different pitches and has a prepotency to get the strikeout, which is what you want from a fantasy closer. I think time will tell just how good Axford is, but he's pretty good right now.
Diamondbacks: Once again, this is clearly one of the worst closer situations in baseball and it is without a clear solution. Chad Qualls has been trusted and endorsed over and over with horrible results. There isn't much to say other than the D'Backs traded two of their best potential closer candidates last year in Tony Pena and Daniel Schlereth. Juan Gutierrez and the newly acquired Aaron Heilman have been inserted in the backup closer positions with Heilman having the best season so far. Still, Qualls can't be counted on with the way he's pitching but until someone steps up, expect him to unfortunately get the call.
Orioles: What a mess! I feel sorry for all those owners chasing saves who invested in Will Ohman. It was suggested that everyone avoid the situation until Mike Gonzalez or a legitimate replacement was found. It has been reported that David Hernandez will finally become the closer until Gonzalez or Alfredo Simon come back from the disabled list. If Baltimore is intent on keeping Hernandez in the pen, I personally feel he'd be a more formidable closer than Simon and potentially more durable than Gonzo.
Phillies: The biggest news here is that one of the most skilled yet often one of the most inconsistent closers from season-to-season, Brad Lidge, has return to the ninth inning helm. So far, Lidge has proven himself healthy and has pitched quite effectively since coming back. This means that it is likely safe to drop Jose Contreras as his only use going forward will be to backup Lidge or net some holds.
2010 MLB Draft: Every year after the draft, I like to identify some potential closers that were drafted. This year was no different as there were multiple closer worthy pitchers selected. Maybe the most important is Texas Longhorn Chance Ruffin who was selected in 1st Supplemental round by the Detroit Tigers. So far this year Ruffin has a 0.73 ERA while striking out 96 in 61 2/3 innings pitched while at Texas. Chance is the son of former MLB closer Bruce Ruffin and should follow other Texas closers like Huston Street to the majors. Other potential closer prospects of interest include Addison Reed (White Sox), Daniel Tillman (Angels), Tommy Kahnle (Yankees), and Kevin Munson (Diamondbacks).
Matthew Robertson is one of a growing number of fantasy experts who write for the Cafe. You can catch up with Matthew in the Cafe's forums where he posts under the name of Havok1517.

Strongly nonlinear internal waves in a layer with arbitrary stratification are considered in the hydrostatic approximation. It is shown that "simple waves" having a variable vertical structure can emerge from a wide class of initial conditions. The equations describing such waves have been obtained using the isopycnal coordinate as a variable. Emergence of simple waves from an initial Gaussian impulse is numerically investigated for different density profiles, from two- and three-layer structure to the continuous one. Besides the first mode, examples of second- and third-mode simple waves are given. Citation: Ostrovsky, L. A. and Helfrich, K.

Arrested Hurricanes LB Ramon Buchanan Has Been Reinstated
Buchanan caused a scene in the men's bathroom at Fat Tuesdays in the Grove at 1:30 a.m. on Friday the 18th of March, and when police tried to arrest him he allegedly tried to head butt one of the officers. The 21-year-old football player was eventually pinned up against a wall but continued thrashing and trying to head butt officers. He smelled of alcohol at the time.
Buchanan was charged with two felonies -- resisting an officer with violence and battery of a police officer or firefighter -- and three misdemeanor counts of trespassing, resisting without violence and disorderly conduct.
Buchanan was immediately suspended from the team indefinitely, but according to The Sun-Sentinel he has now been reinstated:
Golden said Thursday that Buchanan's suspension has been lifted despite still facing felony charges. He also said he was satisfied by the steps Buchanan has taken to meet the requirements he was expected to fulfill in order to return.Buchanan's court hearing is set for April 18.
Buchanan is only the second UM football player to be arrested in the past four year. Since-transferred quarterback Robert Marve was arrested for punching a car mirror.
Golden also denied reports that six other players have been suspended for non-legal reasons, but did not deny that those players are in some sort of trouble with the team.

Americans are in the habit of using credit cards to buy almost everything that's for sale these days, but they don't often know a lot about the cost of using them. I was reminded of this when I saw a tweet from a hockey writer today:
Now, I'm not 100 percent certain that Jesse was in a place where gas was cheaper when purchased with cash. It could've been the other way around – that is, a place where cash was more expensive. But I doubt it.
When you buy a gallon of gasoline at a filling station with cash, you're just buying that gallon of gasoline. But when you buy it using credit cards, you're actually purchasing two products. The first is the gallon of gasoline. The second is the use of whatever payment processing network he uses in order to allow you to use your credit at his filling station. By setting a more expensive price for using credit, the owner of the filling is including the price of using the payment.
Just as it costs more to pay someone to deliver a package to your door than it does to pick the package up yourself, it costs more to let someone else handle money exchanges for you than it does to handle them yourself. Credit makes life more convenient, and we pay for that convenience.
None of this is to imply anything one way or the other about using credit cards, which can be very handy when used properly. It's just that only when something draws your attention to the fine print do you learn how much you're actually paying. Credit card payment processors typically charge a flat fee – say, 20 cents per card swipe – plus a small percentage of each bill. (As an aside, this is one of the reasons Bitcoins are growing in popularity: using them is often free of such fees, and even at their most expensive they are vastly cheaper than traditional credit systems with all their middlemen.)
So if you ever come across a business that charges more for using credit than it does for using cash, you know why. And if you come across one that does things in reverse, you'll know to take your money elsewhere!

How to Level a Pool Table
Two Methods:Adjust the Height of the Pool TableFine-tune the Level of the Pool Table
A pool table must be level for the balls to roll evenly across the felt. An uneven pool table will prevent accuracy in players' shots, and will allow the balls to roll to one side or area of the table. With a few items from a home improvement or hardware store, such as a carpenter's tool and some shims, you can level your pool table. Use these tips to level a pool table.
Method 1 of 2: Adjust the Height of the Pool Table
1Consult your owner's manual to find out what kind of pool table you have. Your pool table may have metal plates or adjustable legs, or it may have none of these features. Your owner's manual will provide specific information about your pool table.Ad
2Test the level of the pool table. Use a carpenter's level to determine whether the pool table is balanced.
- Set the carpenter's level in the middle of the pool table. If the pool table is balanced, the bubbles in the carpenter's level will be situated between the 2 lines in the middle of the glass tubes. If the bubbles in the glass tubes are above or below the 2 middle lines, you will need to raise or lower the pool table.
- Set the carpenter's level on each of the 4 sides of the pool table. Determine whether the pool table needs adjusting.
3Add plates to the table legs. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual to add metal plates to the pool table's leg. Add metal plates to any leg that needs to be raised.
4Adjust the table legs.
- Take out the screws or pins in the leg that needs to be adjusted.
- Move the leg up or down until the pool table is level. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual to adjust the legs.
- Adjust every leg on the table that needs to be raised or lowered.
5Use shims to level the pool table.
- Have 1 or more assistants lift the corner of the table that needs to be raised.
- Place a shim underneath the leg.
- Have the assistants lower the table.
- Repeat the process with any corner of the table that needs to be raised.
- Use the carpenter's level to check the balance of the pool table.
- Continue to add shims underneath the legs until the pool table is balanced.
Method 2 of 2: Fine-tune the Level of the Pool Table
- Use a ball to calculate balance.
- Roll the cue ball over a section of the table.
- Determine whether the ball rolls off course towards one particular side of the table.
- Repeat the process on a few sections of the table.
- Adjust the table if the ball is rolling off course towards a particular side.
2Use a flat piece of glass and a marble to calculate balance.
- Set a piece of glass in the middle of the pool table.
- Place a marble on the middle of the piece of glass. The ball will stay in place if the pool table is level.
- Adjust the table if the ball rolls off of the glass towards a particular area of the table.
- Repeat the process on every side of the table. Place the glass and marble 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) from every pocket on the pool table.

Dear Nana:
I've come full circle during the past 14 months.After leaving the LaFollette Press last July for what I thought would be forever, here I am again. Tuesday was my first official day back at the paper where I built my career in community journalism the previous two decades as sports editor. Appropriately, it was also my 48th birthday.
The past year seems more like 10 years. I enjoyed my brief stints at the Roane County News and WLAF Radio/TV 12, but my heart never left The Press.
Many are familiar with Shakespeare's King Henry V, or at least the St. Crispin's speech. Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh both played Henry in film versions of the play. King Henry V is actually the conclusion of the Herniad — a four-part series of historical plays. Of the plays I read when I took a Shakespeare class in college, those four were my favorite.
Every family seems to have their own terms of endearment — maybe a special nickname or a shorten form of your first name. At any rate, one of the ties that bind in any family are names that tend to stick for no apparent reason. My children are working hard on a few for my husband. We have what we call "blue lights and kisses," right before my husband leaves for work.
Tennessee ranks 39th in health — which is slightly healthier than we've been in the past.But there is still a lot of work to be done. Earlier this month, I was excited to launch "Healthier Tennessee," an initiative focused on encouraging Tennesseans to become more physically active to develop better eating habits and to avoid tobacco use.
Last week, the LaFollette Press published a story about the controversial snake-handling practices of Pentecostal pastor Andrew Hamblin and his congregation at Tabernacle Church of God ("Snake Salvation," Aug. 8).
It is true that the law requires all drivers to have a certain amount of insurance coverage to pay for harms and injuries they cause in an accident. In Tennessee, the law says we all have to have a minimum of $25,000 per person injured, up to $50,000 per accident. Unfortunately, not everyone has insurance. According to the latest figures from the Insurance Research Institute, 24 percent of Tennessee drivers have no insurance.
I became a reporter accidentally on purpose.
To me, it seems accidental, but that's because I thought I had other plans.
Really. After a few summers of ER reruns when I was a kid, I was going to be a trauma physician, but then I realized I don't have the tolerance for blood, guts and other bodily fluids. These days, I get my thrill from the couch with a blanket and my ER DVDs.
When I was about 7, I watched Saved by the Bell with my older sister. The 90s sitcom made adolescence seem like so much fun. And the teenage characters looked like the coolest people I could meet. At the time, I didn't realize the show wasn't the most accurate portrayal of high school. I spent a lot of my time as a child wanting to be a teenager. For me, the next phase of life represented a place where I would be able to experience more fun and joy. Then I became a teenager. Those years weren't miserable. But I didn't go to Bayside either.

Rust on edge
Hi all - I've noticed some surface rust on my board's edge after riding. Will wiping the board down after every ride keep the rust off the board. Or is rust just something you have to contend with?

there's actually tools that you're supposed to use to get rust and burrs off of your edges called gummy stones i think. here's a link to some. but yeah if you get rust on your edges you definitely want to buy one of these because your edges are a huge part of your speed and edge hold.

Wiping down is a good idea, but I don't do it myself. I just stand my board up and let the snow/H2O melt and run right off. You can also use a soft gummy stone to remove rust. Check this link out as well, toward the bottom a guy has done loads of research to offer some great advice:http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boa...n-sharpen.html
