On March 11, parents and students from Children's Aid community schools traveled with staff to the capitol to advocate for their school-based health centers (SBHCs). Children's Aid operates five comprehensive SBHCs, which offer critical preventive health care to more than 200,000 children across the state every year.
This winter was incredibly harsh for every New Yorker, but it was especially difficult for children, cooped up for days on end because of frigid tempers and one snow storm after another.
Every year, the Associates Council (AC) of The Children's Aid Society identifies an initiative that defines how we use our time, talents, and resources.
On Sunday, April 26, a New York Times feature called Sunday Dialogue touched on issues of school choice and the unequal playing field in public education.
On Wednesday April 9, Citi celebrated its National Teach Children to Save initiative with a kickoff event at the Children's Aid Society's College Prep Charter School (CACPCS) and C.S. 211 in the Bronx.
Earlier this week, The Children's Aid Society's Adolescence Division coordinated an internal competition to select the young person who would represent Children's Aid at the upcoming Boys & Girls Club of America's Youth of the Year State Competition.
Hundreds of youth, parents, advocates and youth services providers attended the Bronx Community Action Meeting last Thursday, February 27th, in support of Mayor de Blasio's plan to provide Universal Pre-Kindergarten to all of New York City's four year olds.
Last week, The Children's Aid Society took part in "Talking Transition", a civic forum which brought together tens of thousands of New Yorkers, online and at its pop-up tent on Canal Street, to talk about the future of the city and how to shape the transition for Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.

Albuquerque Theater Guide: The Sequel!
By Abi Blueher
A couple weeks ago, we ran a guide to Albuquerque theater that left out several of the best and brightest movers and shakers on our local scene. You can place the blame for these omissions entirely on the bowed shoulders of Alibi Arts Editor Steven Robert Allen. If your theater or company isn't in this week's supplemental theater guide, please feel free to e-mail your angry complaints directly to Steve at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you already made a complaint and are still not in either theater guide, send those complaints to Steve as well.
What follows are brief descriptions of several venues and companies who play starring roles in Albuquerque's thriving theater scene. Get out and support local theater. It'll do ya good.

Fleet Farm Thieves Nabbed
Winona police have arrested 2 out of the 3 people that stole several
thousands of dollars worth of merchandide from the Winona Fleet Farm store back
in November. 26 year old Kyle Olson and 25 year old Matthew Symitizek,
were arrested in La Crosse. Police are still looking for 26 year old
Kyle Davidson. The three men face possible felony theft charges in connection
with the thefts.
Police say the men filled a large hockey duffel bag with electronics, video game consols, phones, b.b. guns and a $700 crossbow and walked out of the store and into a waiting car. The items were valued at over $3000.
The case has been referred to the county atttorney's office.
Soldiers Turn To Afghan Farming In 2012
2012 will bring a new challenge to some soldiers in the National Guard. Some will put down their weapons and pick up seeds and water buckets. Colonel Darrel Feucht (FOYT), says the skillls of a soldier and civilian will come into play now.
The mission is to help Afghan farmers become agriculturally self-sufficient and develop their agricultural marketplace. The practices that are being trained are not new concepts to the Afghan farmer, but tweaking existing practices. A group of Wisconsin and Minnesota soliders will take off for Afghanistan next month.....to become farmers...and soldiers.
To Ice Fish You Need Ice
With all the rivers and lakes we have in the area...you'd think there would be someone ice fishing somewhere. Well there are.....you just have to carefully find the good ice areas. That's according to Coulee Region Adventures owner, Anthony Larson.
He says areas that have not seen a lot of sun may be your best bet until the water gets colder. It's been so warm in some places that Larson has watched boat after boat leave the landing by the Dresbach lock and dam.

2nd Fake Pot Bust In A Week
Another local arrest that deals with synthetic marijuana. This time in Monroe County. Two adults have been arrested after deputies conducted a search warrant Wednesday afternoon in the Village of Kendall at the Wood Pipes Smoke Shop. 34 year old Tammy Wood and 38 year old Brian Wood, both of Kendall, were arrested amid allegations of their possession of synthetic marijuana, a restricted controlled substance.
A number of drug related items were seized, including materials believed to
be synthetic marijuana. Both of these individuals are scheduled to make their
first appearance in court today.

They are not guaranteed to work on all problems. One of the methods performs a sequence of Newton iterations until convergence occurs whilst another is a matrix analogy of the scalar polynomial algorithm. The former fails from a poor starting point and the latter fails if no dominant solution exists. A recent approach, the Elimination method, is analysed and shown to work on problems for which other methods fail. . The method requires the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix to be computed and to this end a comparative numerical analysis of a number of methods for computing the coefficients is performed. A new minimisation approach for solving the quadratic matrix equation is proposed and shown to compare very favourably with existing methods . . A special case of the quadratic matrix equation is the matrix square root problem, where P = o. There have been a number of method proposed for it's solution, the more successful ones being based upon Newton iterations or the Schur factorisation. The Elimination method is used as a basis for generating three methods for solving the matrix square root problem. By means of a numerical analysis and results it is shown that for small order problems the Elimination methods compare favourably with the existing methods. The algebraic Riccati equation of stochastic and optimal control is, where the solution of interest is the symmetric non-negative definite one. The current methods are based on Newton iterations or the determination of the invariant subspace of the associated Hamiltonian matrix. A new method based on a reformulation of Newton's method is presented. The method reduces the work involved at each iteration by introducing a Schur factorisation and a sparse linear system solver. Numerical results suggest that it may compare favourably with well-established methods. Central to the numerical issues are the discussions on conditioning, stability and accuracy. For a method to yield accurate results, the problem must be well-conditioned and the method that solves the problem must be stable-consequently discussions on conditioning and stability feature heavily in this thesis. The units of measure we use to compare the speed of the methods are the operations count and the Central Processor Unit (CPU) time. We show how the CPU time accurately reflects the amount of work done by an algorithm and that the operations counts of the algorithms correspond with the respective CPU times.

Abstract: Matrix equations have been studied by Mathematicians for many years. Interest in them has grown due to the fact that these equations arise in many different fields such as vibration analysis, optimal control, stability theory etc. This thesis is concerned with methods of solution of various matrix equations with particular emphasis on quadratic matrix equations. Large scale numerical techniques are not investigated but algebraic aspects of matrix equations are considered. Many established methods are described and the solution of a matrix equation by consideration of an equivalent system of multivariable polynomial equations is investigated. Matrix equations are also solved by a method which combines the given equation with the characteristic equation of the unknown matrix. Several iterative processes used for the solution of scalar equations are applied directly to the matrix equation. A new iterative process based on elimination methods is also described and examples given. The solutions of the equation x2 = P are obtained by a method which derives a set of polynomial equations connecting the characteristic coefficients of X and P. It is also shown that the equation X2 = P has an infinite number of solutions if P is a derogatory matrix. Acknowledgements Description: A Doctoral Thesis.

Walters, M.C. Thiele, Uwe Knobloch, Edgar https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/16588 2015-01-12T13:50:41Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Solidification in soft-core fluids: disordered solids from fast solidification fronts Authors: Archer, Andrew J.; Walters, M.C.; Thiele, Uwe; Knobloch, Edgar Abstract: Using dynamical density functional theory we calculate the speed of solidification fronts advancing into a quenched two-dimensional model uid of soft-core particles. We find that solidification fronts can advance via two different mechanisms, depending on the depth of the quench. For shallow quenches, the front propagation is via a nonlinear mechanism. For deep quenches, front propagation is governed by a linear mechanism and in this regime we are able to determine the front speed via a marginal stability analysis. We find that the density modulations generated behind the advancing front have a characteristic scale that differs from the wavelength of the density modulation in thermodynamic equilibrium, i.e., the spacing between the crystal planes in an equilibrium crystal. This leads to the subsequent development of disorder in the solids that are formed. For the onecomponent fluid, the particles are able to rearrange to form a well-ordered crystal, with few defects. However, solidification fronts in a binary mixture exhibiting crystalline phases with square and hexagonal ordering generate solids that are unable to rearrange after the passage of the solidification front and a significant amount of disorder remains in the system.

The shape of the liquid meniscus and the thickness of the coating layer depend on U. These dependencies have to be understood in detail for non-volatile liquids to control the deposition of such a liquid and to lay the basis for the control in more complicated cases (volatile pure liquid, solution with volatile solvent). We study the case of non-volatile liquids employing a precursor film model that describes partial wettability with a Derjaguin (or disjoining) pressure. In particular, we focus on the relation of the deposition of (i) an ultrathin precursor film at small velocities and (ii) a macroscopic film of thickness h ∝ U^(2/3) (corresponding to the classical Landau Levich film). Depending on the plate inclination, four regimes are found for the change from case (i) to (ii). The different regimes and the transitions between them are analysed employing numerical continuation of steady states and saddle-node bifurcations and simulations in time. We discuss the relation of our results to results obtained with a slip model. In connection with evaporative processes, we will study the pinning of a droplet due to a sharp corner. The approach employs an evolution equation for the height profile of an evaporating thin film (small contact angle droplet) on a substrate with a rounded edge, and enables one to predict the dependence of the apparent contact angle on the position of the contact line. The calculations confirm experimental observations, namely that there exists a dynamically produced critical angle for depinning that increases with the evaporation rate. This suggests that one may introduce a simple modification of the Gibbs criterion for pinning that accounts for the non-equilibrium effect of evaporation. Description: A Doctoral Thesis.

Having lost my son from the results of Afaghinstan/Iraq war, The group has supported me and my husband with love and support!
This group is about helping families of love ones that have been lost in the Iraq and Afghanistan War.
It is not just for the heros that died there, but for the heros here, who whether accident or self inflicted due to their PTSD.
We all need support and our group is some one who is willingly to listen and care.
We all suffer losses differently, but to know someone with similar experiences helps!
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Increase the funds so we could market more to reach out to everyone who needs us, but unaware of our group.
More feedback...
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I lost my son from post traumatic complications r/t a medication he was taking and went into allergic respirator arrest. He spent 9'years in the Marines and 2 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Being There Reaching Out has become like a family to me.
This is a group no one wants to share Grief with, but is glad they are there for families like mine and others to share our personal grief with for lost of loved ones from the war.
I come from a mixed family of my brother being in the Navy, my uncle in the Army, and my husband, B-I-L, and my son and nephew being in the Marines.
So, no matter what branch of service you are from, this group is there to offer support in whatever way we can.
More feedback...
Was your donation impactful?
How likely is it that you would recommend that a friend donate to this group?
How likely are you to donate to this group again?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Our Vietnam Veterans chapter has been working with Being There Reaching Out for the past 4 years to help them financially with the great work that they do for the Gold Star families. To see the help and support they give to the families through a variety of means makes us want to be able to do even more. Bringing the Gold Star families together helps them work through their loss and gets them in touch with others who have experienced the same loss. I wish there had been a similar organization in the 1960's and 1970's to help the families of some friends I lost so they would not have felt so alone.
More feedback...
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
caring about the Gold Star families. They wanted to get them in touch with other Gold Star families so there could be a better level of help and support for all.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About once a year
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I took part in a walk/run fund raiser they had last summer. A number of families who lost a loved one were there. I can't image loosing my son in Iraq or Afghanistan, but if something was to happen I would hope Being There Reaching Out would be there for me. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for what you do.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Seeing the bonding that members of this group have. The strength they draw from each other.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
very compassionate. When introduced to someone who had just lost a son I was at a loss for words. These people could address the families needs.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Reach out to so many people and employ proffessional greif concelers.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

Discussion in 'Disney Cruise Line Forum' started by southlake, Feb 21, 2013.
We went all out on the first cruise but chose Palo and pirate pajamas for the kids on the second.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
I'm thinking of dressing up like a Somali pirate. Do you think that would be ok?
I would wear cut off jeans, a plaid long sleeve shirt, flip flops, a ski mask, or a bandana wrapped around my face.
What do you think?
This dad is 46, I can't wait to do it!!! Then again I dress up to go to Jimmy Buffett concerts too!
On our 1st cruise we went all out, even DH who is very reserved. We had a ball. Lots of kids would ask there parents if we were pirates as we passed in the halls, we would turn and give them an Arrr. Very cute pictures with Captain Jack too. We did up good for a girls cruise last spring too. This fall we are doing the Alaskan cruise. I have bought pirate shirts from
6dollarshirts.com that will be fine I think. I just can't see us doing nothing.
I don't plan on dressing up, but I do have pirate costumes for the kiddos. I believe I've seen comments that the dress code on pirate night is more lax on pirate night? I'm just wondering if wearing my denim capris to dinner that night is acceptable, not trying to start another dress code debate
Of course! We totally dressed up! Except my youngest - he is kind of a party pooper! We were pirates the previous Halloween! I sewed a skirt and vest for me, and a vest for DH, plus some store bought stuff! We have only been on 1 cruise, but our pirate gear will be making it's fourth trip through family and friends this may!
I did dress up for pirate night and i had a blast. I wore a pleasnt blouse flora skirt a bright red lace up vest and red boots. I wore the skirt for about an hour and then i changed into caprie pants. I also did the pirate leauge. I was on the Fantasy i still have the nail polish and lip gloss and the sash and of course the sword. I had the empress package for $35.00. I also got a hat that was seen in the last priate movie
We are planning on just all wearing black shirts, jeans, and a red sash that I will make. I am considering an iron on patch, but probably will just stick with the black. I went to Goodwill and didn't see a thing that could be incorporated easily, so just went with that idea. We may accessorize a bit, my sister has a pirate hat, my husband has a fake parrot, maybe get some eye patches etc- my husband wasn't overjoyed at the matchy matchy thing, but agreed since it was simple.
But, I LOVE seeing the people who are going all out! Maybe next time- our Alaska clothes are bulky enough that I am not sure I can fit it in.
Yes. A jacket and tie at Remy.
I'm excited to see that at least some adults have gone costumed. I'd hate to be the only one! Is it wrong that I'm planning to dedicate an entire suitcase to our pirate attire?
I don't and neither do my kids!
I dress up. My DW does a little, and the kids just wear a pirate t-shirt and a bandana.
Nnnnnnnnnope. Luggage is full enough as is.
Yes, we're dressing up...for Remy's!
Kids will dress up and go--they're older.
Have fun whatever make you happy!
It's fun for everyone to participate and enjoy the Disney experience I dressed up both times with my daughter.
My 13 DD will, she got her costume already!!!
We did. but not as normal pirates. We dressed up in ECU pirate gear (as we live in NC)
None of us did.
My whole family dressed up and had a blast. It's one of the few times u can be a kid and no one cares
Fins up fellow parrot head
We are going to do more Tshirt for DH and Ill work bandana into my skirt and top. I am dressing the kids and Ill do their make up. I dont want to go all out but I know the kids will appreciate us contributing

Truly one of the most helpful and knowledgable agents in Del Mar / North San Diego area! We first met Stacey and bombarded her with a multitude of questions about the local area. Although we were already familiar with general San Diego county areas, she was extremely helpful in filling in specific details and holes in our knowledge about local schools, commutes and quality of life of specific communities. We have a disabled son and she was especially helpful in steering us to an area that would have more appropriate housing options for our needs.

Theology and Spirituality in the Work of Vladimir Lossky
Academic journal article
By Lossky, Nicholas
The Ecumenical Review , Vol. 51, No. 3 , July 1999
Article excerpt
Vladimir Lossky was an exile in the tree sense of the term, not an emigre. His father, the philosopher Nicolas Onufriyevich Lossky, professor in the University of St Petersburg, was expelled from Russia with all his family in November 1922, aboard what came to be known as the famous "philosophical ship". The Lossky family had no intention of emigrating from Russia after the Revolution, considering it only natural that they should share the fate of their people.
In this connection, it is very important to know that as a young student Vladimir Lossky attended the trial of one of the very first martyrs of the Russian Revolution, Metropolitan Benjamin of St Petersburg, now canonized. The young man was profoundly touched by the sight of the crowd of believers prostrating themselves as their bishop was led to his death. My sister Catherine Aslanoff has recently written that "this image of the church, the bishop and his people, united by the blood of the martyr, deeply moved the future theologian".(1) This was the image that rooted him firmly in the church and was at the origin of his faithfulness unswerving, throughout his life, to the persecuted Russian church.
Vladimir Lossky was born on 8 June (new style) 1903, the Monday of Pentecost, the day of the Holy Spirit, in Gottingen, Germany, where his father was spending some time on university business. Although he was only 19 when his family was expelled from Russia, he had already completed two years of studies at the University of St Petersburg. Interested in the French middle ages, he became in Pads the student and friend of the great mediaevalist Ferdinand Lot, professor at the Sorbonne and "agnostic" husband of a well-known Russian theologian, Myrrha Lot-Borodine. Later, he quite naturally became a disciple of Etienne Gilson, with whom he remained close until his death. Gilson wrote the preface of the posthumously published edition of Lossky's thesis on the German mystic Meister Eckhart.
Vladimir Lossky's interest in Eckhart was already aroused during his days at the University of St Petersburg, where Prof. Ivan Mikhailovich Grevs, a specialist in the Western Christian church fathers, drew the young man's attention to Eckhart who was to become the main object of his research, literally until the last day of his life. At the same time, another professor and friend of the family, Lev Platonovich Karsavine, introduced him to the Eastern Christian church fathers. All this, together with N.P. Kondakov's teaching in Prague, where Vladimir Lossky stayed with his family until 1924, forms the source of his attachment to patristic theology (as distinguished from knowledge of the church fathers).
Vladimir Lossky was thus an exiled Russian, and he remained very Russian all his life, though he would say that he had always been a convinced "Westernist" and that being Russian for him meant having a cosmopolitan feeling for the marriage of cultures, being "at home" everywhere in the world. Exile though he was, however, he chose to study and live in France, this very ancient Christian land whose saints he venerated -- as he did St Francis of Assisi, about whom he gave an outstanding lecture while he was still in Prague (thus before 1924). Moreover, all of Vladimir Lossky's theological works were written in French, at the request of his Catholic, Anglican and Protestant friends, that is, in a context of ecumenical dialogue. Similarly, the courses he taught (in dogmatics and church history) at the Institut Saint Denis until 1953 (when P. Eugraphe Kovalevsky broke with the church of Russia) were always given in French, as were his pastoral courses in the Exarchate of the Moscow Patriarchate from then until his death in February 1958. This was done in a spirit of witnessing to an Orthodoxy that was universal and not tied to one culture. Along with Fr Georges Florovsky (with whom he was very close), Vladimir Lossky was clearly among the people who fruitfully developed the heritage of the patristic renaissance which began to take shape in Russia in the mid19th century and which gained momentum in the preparations for the council of Moscow in 1917-18. …

While Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries may no longer have to worry about dealing with the in-laws, there are plenty of newlyweds out there facing the first real test of their matrimonial commitment this holiday season: meeting their new family members.  For Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn, who recently renewed their vows, this will be old hat. But celebrity couples like Wills and Kate and Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert will find themselves in the same boat as every other newly joined couple in the world; facing the uncertainty of several days trapped with their in-laws.  The good news is that there's no need for stress. By following just a few simple guidelines, newlyweds everywhere can have an enjoyable and relaxing holiday, even if the in-laws are a little bit crazy. Here's how:
Related: Ways To Impress Your In-Laws
1. Offer to help: The best way to get in good with the in-laws is to offer assistance here and there.  Your mother-in-law may not want you in the kitchen while she's cooking, but perhaps she'll let you watch her make her special recipe (no doubt she'll be flattered by your interest).  And you can always offer to set the table, wash some dishes or otherwise make yourself useful.  Don't be pushy, but offer frequently.
2. Clean up after yourself: Even if you're treated more like a guest than a member of the family, you need to be a responsible adult and try not to make more work for your hosts than necessary.  This means picking up after yourself, doing your own laundry (towels included), washing dishes (or at least putting them in the dishwasher) and generally making an effort to leave a room just as neat as you found it.
3. Set aside "me" time: There's nothing wrong with taking a little time out for yourself, especially if it saves you from a meltdown.  No matter what you do, there's going to be some pressure to perform for your new partner's family.  So give yourself breaks here and there to decompress; take a bath, a nap or a walk to get away.  And any time you can manage it, drag your new spouse along for some alone time.
Related: Dealing With Difficult In-Laws
4. Participate: You've joined a new group, but you'll always be an outsider unless you integrate yourself.  Even if you don't want to play board games, sing carols or look at family photo albums, be a sport.  It will help you become a family member a lot faster than opting out.
5. Delegate "handling" responsibilities: This is a biggie, and it could just save your holiday.  Each spouse needs to handle their own family, including making arrangements and dealing with any issues that arise.  The person that approaches in-laws in an aggressive manner is going to be seen as an interloper, so don't try to be dominant.  You handle your family, and let your spouse handle the in-laws.  Less stress over the holidays will greatly reduce your chance of winding up in relationship counseling in the New Year.

These ukuleles are excellent quality for the money. Ours even came with cases. They have a good tone and are easy to play for little ones. I used them with my Year 3 class and they really enjoy them. I've tried several ukuleles at this price and these were the best by far. Customer service from Dawson has also been first rate, and I have used them again subsequently.

Jobless Rate Drops
Unemployment rates fell in all 55 of West Virginia's counties in September. WorkForce West Virginia says that at 11 percent, Mingo County was the only one with a jobless rate in the double digits. Counties with an unemployment rate below 5 percent included Harrison (4.9), Putnam (4.9), Preston (4.7), Jefferson (4.6), Pendleton (4.3) and Monongalia (4.1). The state's seasonally adjusted jobless rate in September was 6.6 percent.
New CAMC Cancer Center Makes Progress
Hospital board members got a look at the new Charleston Area Medical Center Cancer Center this week. Construction will take another six months or so, but the board got to see the progress on the building that CAMC bought nine years ago. The building will house the new David Lee Cancer Center, which is across the street right now. And the CAMC Breast Center will also move to the new building. When the new cancer center opens in early 2015, it will offer things like medical and radiation oncology, mammography rooms, and ultrasound rooms, and there will even be a shop that offers wigs and pedicures.
Inmates Who Take Financial Planning Class Can Have Sentence Reduced
West Virginia's regional jails will soon offer a financial education course to help inmates avoid becoming repeat offenders. The West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority plans to begin offering the four-week Financial Peace University program in November to inmates serving sentences for misdemeanor convictions. The state Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety says the program basics such as eliminating and avoiding debt, maintaining a budget, balancing checkbooks and saving for emergencies. Officials say course will reduce the participating inmate's sentence by five days. Inmates also can seek that reduction through an existing life skills course as an alternative.
Firearms Season Opens for Boar Saturday in Four Counties
West Virginia hunters will have another option for going after wild boar starting Saturday. That's when the firearms season for wild boar opens. It runs through Nov. 1 and is restricted to Boone Logan, Raleigh and Wyoming counties. The dates were announced by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Because of declining boar numbers, gun hunters are restricted to an October firearms season. Wild boar archery season has been underway since Sept. 27 and will run through Dec. 31.
Sen Manchin Teams Up With Rhode Island Senator
Sen. Joe Manchin will took colleague Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island around West Virginia yesterday to learn about coal and energy resources. The two Democratic U.S. senators are looking for common ground on energy and climate change issues. On Oct. 10, Whitehouse brought Manchin to Rhode Island to learn about the effects of climate change.
New Water Monitoring Device Helps Putnam Service District
New technology is helping with water-monitoring in at least one spot. The Putnam Public Service District has a new, state-of-the-art source water monitoring panel, and a news release from the district says it's been installed at its water treatment plant in Teays Valley. The special panel lets plant operators know about changes in source water that could affect water quality and alert them to contamination. Operators would even be able to shut down raw water pumps and still keep the water plant operational while they investigate the possible contamination.
Eight Arrests After Morgantown Riots
About those riots in Morgantown after a West Virginia football game...Police say eight people have been arrested and more than two dozen cited. Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston says the charges and criminal citations included underage consumption, malicious burning, destruction of property and disorderly conduct. Eight police cars belonging to several law enforcement agencies were damaged by rocks, beer bottles and construction debris thrown by rioters. A fire engine and two Morgantown fire marshal vehicles also were damaged. The university has said any student found to be involved in the incidents will face sanctions, up to and including expulsion.
Sen Manchin Makes Several Stops Across The State
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin is making the rounds across the state to discuss energy and education. On Tuesday, Manchin spoke with students at Lincoln County High School in Hamlin about ways to improve education opportunities in West Virginia and across the nation. Today he'll travel around West Virginia with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island to discuss fossil fuel energy production. Thursday, Manchin will deliver remarks at the installation ceremony for United Mine Workers of America officers in Morgantown. Friday, Manchin will present an American flag to the Stonewood Fire Department. Manchin also will visit seniors during lunch, meet with local officials to discuss regional, state and national issues, and deliver remarks at the Governor's annual Energy Summit and participate in the One Shot hunt.
Student and Driver Suffer Minor Injuries In Bus Accident
Police say two people were injured when a school bus went over an embankment in Jackson County Tuesday morning on Middle Fork Road. Jackson County Sheriff Tony Boggs tells The Charleston Gazette that the school bus met another vehicle on a narrow portion of the road. He says the bus apparently got too close to the edge of the road and went over the embankment. The driver and a 14-year-old student were the only people on the bus at the time and were taken to a hospital as a precaution.
Man Faces Charges After Holding His Family Hostage
A Boone County man is facing charges after police say he held his family hostage and threatened to kill himself. State police arrested Cameron Booth and charged him with battery, assault and unlawful restraint. Booth 's wife was cut when she tried to take the knife away from him, but got away, and she used social media to reach out for help. It wasn't long before state police arrived at the house and took her husband into custody. There were three children inside who were not hurt.

Hibernate Gurus,
I have a pesky issue and I don't really know how to solve my problem. I have a solution, however, I feel I may be reinventing the wheel.
I have two entities, The first is a User Object, The second is an Alias Object. The relationship between the two is that A USER can have multiple ALIAS(es) and an ALIAS can be tied to at most one user.
I would like to be able to grab an Alias object out of the Alias table and Eagerly grab the corresponding User, as well. (This part is working perfectly). I also want hibernate to populate the complete list of ALIAS(es) which a User has (this also is working perfectly), however, I also want to know which of the ALIASes was used to query for the USER object.
The first two I was able to solve quite easily with a bi-directional ManyToOne, OneToMany relationship, the third, however, seems to be not so easy. I guess I could just as easily create a @Transient field in User and set that in my Dao, however, I just want to know if there is a way I could have Hibernate do it for me.
I can post just about any code necessary to help facilitate answering.

Re: 5/5 Winner: Long Live Play.. and Love?
This is how I look at it. If a girl turns you down, then its not meant to be, there's another person out there who you're truly meant to be with. That's the way I see things. And also, never lose hope, man. I know what you feel like, I been there. You can't be afraid of rejection, its better to know she doesn't like you, than to not know if she does. If you like a certain someone, don't try to impress her, just be yourself and see what happens. Just don't change who you are to get a girl, because that means the person she likes isn't really you. One day, you will find that someone, and you will know. That's just my little words to you. Take care.
Re: 5/5 Winner: Long Live Play.. and Love?
Congratulations dude, that's awesome!! To find your soulmate because of video games is rare, but definitely cool. Very touching story and very clever on how you asked her out! I know how it is to find your soulmate and how truly wonderful, and special it is...I'm engaged to mine! Hold on to her forever and never let go, no matter what. I wish you both many, many years of happiness together. Best wishes.

A strange thing happened when Christopher DeLara filed for disability benefits after his tour in Iraq: The U.S. Army said it had no records showing he had ever been overseas.
DeLara had searing memories of his combat experiences. A friend bled to death before his eyes. He saw an insurgent shoot his commander in the head. And, most hauntingly, he recalled firing at an Iraqi boy who had attacked his convoy.
The Army said it could find no field records documenting any of those incidents.
DeLara appealed, fighting for five years before a judge accepted the testimony of an officer in his unit. By then he had divorced, was briefly homeless and had sought solace in drugs and alcohol.
DeLara's case is part of a much larger problem that has plagued the U.S. military since the 1990 Gulf War: a failure to create and maintain the types of field records that have documented American conflicts since the Revolutionary War.
A joint investigation by ProPublica and The Seattle Times has found that the record-keeping breakdown was especially acute in the early years of the Iraq war, when insurgents deployed improvised bombs with devastating effects on U.S. soldiers. The military has also lost or destroyed records from Afghanistan, according to officials and previously undisclosed documents.
The missing records extend to Washington state, where the National Guard's 81st Brigade Combat Team, in its largest deployments since World War II, didn't keep day-to-day records from two tours in Iraq.
The loss of field records - after-action write-ups, intelligence reports and other day-to-day accounts from the war zones - has far-reaching implications. It has complicated efforts by soldiers like DeLara to claim benefits. And it makes it harder for military strategists to learn the lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan, two of the nation's most protracted wars.
The Army says it has taken steps to improve handling of records - including better training and more emphasis from top commanders.

Professionally, the software development industry, the health care industry, and IT services are popular business areas among the UCF alumni. The most popular professional field seems to be the aerospace and defense industry. Following graduation, UCF students earn an average of $54K.
There is a sizable difference between men's post-college salaries and women's: the median for the former is around $63K, but the median for the latter is only $50K.
The most generous salaries among UCF alumni are reportedly earned by Senior Software Engineers, whose earnings come to about $104K, followed by Electrical Engineers ($68K) and Software Engineers ($67K). Staff Accountants wrap up the bottom of the pay scale, earning approximately $42K.
Orlando keeps the largest number of UCF grads among cities despite the fact that it offers the lowest median compensation ($54K). However, UCF grads looking to fill their bank accounts consider moving to Melbourne — one of the most popular top-paying cities — with its median salary of $76K. New York is also a top pick, as is Jacksonville.
The highest paychecks can be found at Harris Corporation, where some UCF grads go to work for pay averaging $88K. Salaries are anything but high at the University of Central Florida (UCF), though, where average pay is about $43K.
UCF grads who hold a Doctorate (PhD) can expect to fare better than most fellow alumni, earning approximately $90K per year. The degree that warrants the lowest level of financial compensation is a Bachelor of Science in Event Management (around $34K annually).
Former Knights with Engineering Design experience garner salaries that are 26 percent more than other grads' salaries. Many UCF grads have knowledge of Microsoft Office, with about an eighth of alumni using this program on the clock. Experience with Microsoft Excel, Project Management, and Customer Service is highly valued as well.
Though vacation and sick days are paid for some, these benefits are reported by the minority of graduates (half of the alumni and one-third of alumni, respectively). It is no small feat that most former students are given health coverage, and a majority of alums accept dental insurance. A fair portion of alums save for retirement through a 401(k) plan. University of Central Florida grads also enjoy benefits like life insurance, a casual working environment, tuition reimbursement, and a company-subsidized cell phone.
Florida Atlantic University grads bring in salaries of around $54K, making them the most similar to UCF alumni in terms of earnings. Other schools similar to UCF include the University of Alabama at Huntsville, North Dakota State University-Main Campus, and Montana State University.

The European Energy Exchange (EEX) is to start an initiative to relaunch its coal market.
The initiative will focus on Trade Registration which means the registration of OTC trades for clearing.
EEX has attracted several well-known brokers that support the Trade Registration offer.
As of 21 May 2014, GFI Securities Limited, Spectron Energy Services Ltd (part of Marex Spectron Group), Tradition Dubai Limited and Tullett Prebon (Europe) will offer the EEX coal products on their platforms. From this day onwards, an exemption from fees will apply to the registration of these transactions on EEX for clearing via European Commodity Clearing (ECC) until the end of the year 2014.
"The coal market is a very interesting market for us and an essential component of energy trading. We are now working hard to establish it at the EEX," says Peter Reitz, chief executive officer of EEX. "We have seen rising interest in our Trade Registration services, also against the background of the EMIR regulation. All contracts that are concluded bilaterally and registered at EEX for clearing will not be taken into account for the calculation of the EMIR threshold for commodity OTC derivatives. Furthermore, by the addition of coal trade registration, participants can save money by benefitting from the associated netting and cross-margining effects."
EEX and ECC facilitate Straight Through Processing (STP) via the Trayport Hosted Clearing Link and EFETnet eXRP. Derivatives transactions are registered at EEX according to its rules and regulations and subsequently cleared by ECC. Furthermore, by offering the new category of "Non Trading Broker", EEX gives brokers the possibility to enter trades into the exchange system on behalf of trading participants for registration without opening and holding own positions. This reduces risk and cost substantially for Non Trading Brokers which do not need a clearing membership.
