Gallegos takes over Tigers softball program
Marina Gallegos is taking over as head softball coach at Carroll following the recent departure of Cay Torres.
Torres stepped down after eight seasons with the Tigers to take the head job at Oxford High School in Oxford, Miss. Last month her daughter Rachel, a first-team All-District 27-5A catcher at Carroll, signed to play for Ole Miss, which is located in Oxford.
"They told her she could fix her schedule so she can watch her daughter play," Corpus Christi Independent School District director of athletics Brenda Marshall said. "What mom and dad wouldn't want to do that? They made her an offer she couldn't refuse."
Gallegos, meanwhile, returns to her alma mater after five years at Moody, most recently as the head volleyball coach and assistant softball coach under childhood friend Paula Salinas. Together, Salinas and Gallegos guided the Trojans to the 30-4A championship and the Region IV semifinals.
When the Carroll softball job became available, Gallegos decided to give it a shot.
"I had never applied for a head job because I was always very comfortable at Moody," she said. "Paula and I grew up together and loved working together. I was very content and never went out to look for anything else."
Gallegos felt it finally was time.
"I recently started to think that maybe I wanted to do things a little differently," she said. "I want to try and see what I can do with my own program. This was an opportunity I thought I should try and pursue."
Elsewhere, Carroll graduate Steve Jones is taking over as head volleyball coach at King. Former coach Melinda Horton left to start up the program at Tuloso-Midway.

text: This is a world first, according to Microsoft, as the software is the only truly open source web application to achieve certification on the Windows platform. SilverStripe got its big international break when its software was used for the Democrat's National Convention website as Barak Obama made his run at the White House. More recently, among many other projects, Silverstripe has been involved with the government's Open Data project. "We are very excited about receiving the certification, as it validates everything we have been working toward – ease of use and added value for our customers, along with faster deployment times, as well as confirming the robustness and reliability of our software," said Sigurd Magnusson, co-founder and business relationship manager of SilverStripe. "At least half of SilverStripe's customers manage predominantly Windows Server IT environments. These customers are now able to confidently deploy our software on the Microsoft platform. The addition of Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server support for SilverStripe CMS opens up a diverse new market, and we are confident that greater interoperability with the Windows platform will contribute to our further success in the years ahead." Certification for Windows Server is achieved through an independently audited process that has extensive and strict criteria. In addition to being the only open source web application to attain this, the other unique element of the certification is the SilverStripe application was written in PHP rather than the .NET format. "As an active participant in the web and open source communities, Microsoft welcomed the opportunity to work with the SilverStripe team to further develop our relationship with open source developers," says Andrew Gordon, Platform Strategy Manager for Microsoft New Zealand. "We would like to congratulate SilverStripe on its well-deserved win at the New Zealand Open Source awards last week and look forward to continuing to work with the team to further create a mutually beneficial relationship." In the time SilverStripe and Microsoft have been working together there have been more than 60,000 downloads of the SilverStripe CMS from Microsoft's website.

Structural variation and evolution of a defense-gene cluster in natural populations of Aegilops tauschii. Theor. Appl. Genet. 112:618-626. Technical Abstract: Genetic mapping and sequencing of plant genomes have been useful for investigating eukaryotic chromosome structural organization. In man cases analyses have been limited in the number of representatives sampled from specific groups. The degree of intraspecific genome diversity remains in question, and it is possible that a single model genome may have limited utility for identifying genes in related members of the species or genus. Genes of particular interest for crop-plant improvement are disease resistance genes that are harbored by wild relatives of modern cultivated crops. The genes are evolutionarily dynamic and under selective pressure by a broad range of pathogenic organisms. Using resistance gene analogs as models for resistance gene evolution, intraspecific genome comparisons were made among populations of wild diploid wheat (Aegilops tauschii). We observed deletion haplotypes occurring frequently and independently in the genome, where total loss of gene complements is a common yet overlooked form of allelic variation. Haplotypes are correlated with species distribution and are without adaptive value in alternate environments. We address the consequences of deletion haplotypes on genome restructuring and resistance gene evolution. |

Amina Buddafly's Baby Bump Gets Love From Which Love & Hip Hop Star? (PHOTOS)
Guess the Love & Hip Hop Star!
We love it when the Love & Hip Hop cast members actually show love and support for each other, and this newest photo of two Season 4 stars is definitely a fun example of just that. Though Amina Buddafly and this cast member had a pretty rough start — mainly because of Amina's husband, Peter Gunz — these two ladies were able to patch things up between then, and in this friendly photo we see this one-time enemy give Amina's bump a little smooch! While we're not sure just how much time these ladies spend together, we hope to see these two forge a friendship, especially since we know that this star is returning to Love & Hip Hop for Season 5! It would be great to see these two bond — after all, Amina can probably learn a few mommy tips from this model/actress — maybe in exchange for a song from Amina for her upcoming EP! Can you guess the Love & Hip Hop star?

Traditional western breakfasts bore me so I always love trying breakfasts around the world to find something that's more to my taste. In India I love a spicy masala dosa, in Malaysia I was a fan of roti canai—flaky pancakes with dhal, and after our recent trip to Jordan I've now discovered the delights of a Middle Eastern breakfast.
This breakfast was selected from the Jordanian section of the extensive and wonderful breakfast buffet at the Kempinski Hotel in Aqaba on the Red Sea, but we had a variation of this everywhere.
Here's what I ate (clockwise from the top):
- Hummus—chickpea dip with tahini, lemon, garlic and olive oil. Popular mezze dish in Jordan.
- Zaatar w zeit—dried thyme, sesame seeds and sumac mixed with olive oil. Often the herby mix was served separately from the oil and you mixed it up yourself.
- Pitta bread. Flat bread of some kind is essential to every meal.
- Labneh—strained yoghurt that has a creamy cheese consistency. Served in balls in olive oil.
- Cherry tomatoes and cucumber
- Feta cheese—oh so creamy.
- Olives
Simple, healthy and utterly delicious.
For more information about delicious Jordanian food see our vegetarian guide to Jordan.

One overarching theme I've seen: no elite runner was able to achieve her max speed until she began to build strength and power in the weight room. Most of these female runners already possessed excellent technique and flexibility, but they lacked sufficient strength and power, which limited the amount of force they could put into the ground with each stride. It might seem counterintuitive to increase track speed with weight room exercises. But it's a proven method, which, if done correctly, will yield impressive results. The more force you exert, the longer your stride will be and the faster you will run. Below is a sample training program for female track athletes. It calls for three workouts per week and is designed to increase strength and power. Make sure to rest one day between workouts. Also, perform the workout after a warm-up and a hip, trunk and shoulder mobility series. Day 1 Snatch — 5x3 Front Squat — 1x8, 4x5 Chin-Up — 4x6 Glute Ham Raise — 5x3 Core (Leg Raises, V-Ups, Bicycle Crunches) — 2-3x20-30 each exercise Day 2 Push Jerk — 4x4 Clean Pull — 3x5 Reverse Lunge — 3x8 RDL — 3x10 Core (Med Ball Crunch and Throw, Med Ball Russian Twists) — 3x15-20 each exercise Day 3 Power Clean to Squat — 1x5, 4x3 Back Squat — 3x5, 2x3 Incline Press — 4x6 Hypers — 3x8 Core (Med Ball Sit-Ups, Med Ball Toe Touches): 2x20-30 each exercise Physioball Plank — 2x60 seconds You can manipulate volume and intensity to suit your specific needs. Stick to rest intervals of 90 seconds to three minutes. Be careful not to focus so much on correcting your weaknesses that you neglect to train your strengths.

Basket holds a key to village beautification
Written by Paul Gauvin
July 31, 2008
BASKET BALL – Judy Caccioli, left, and Helen Hinckley, members of a Nantucket Basket work group, with an assortment of baskets made by Caccioli. She has made 38 baskets so far, and has donated one for the Centerville Beautification Committee auction Aug. 5.
Auction items help maintain public benches, parks, gardens, planters
If it hadn't been for a Barnstable Village woman who more than 20 years go summoned a special Nantucket individual to Cape Cod, the Centerville Beautification Committee today wouldn't have its premier auction item going out to bid Aug. 5 as part of the village's annual Old Home Week.
The item, a 15-inch (diameter) Nantucket basket crafted by Centerville resident Judy Caccioli over more than a six-month period at roughly three to four hours a week, is on display in the window of the Fein Things gift shop in the Centerville Plaza.
The $600-value basket along with other items will be auctioned next week during a 6 p.m. preview and silent auction followed at 7 p.m. with live bidding led by Steve Luciani in South Congregational Church at 565 Main St., Centerville. Proceeds go to maintaining the village's benches, parks, plant trees and conducting Arbor Day rites among other projects intended to beautify the village and enhance the visual lifestyle.
SAY NIGHT, NIGHT – Oversized Nantucket basket is actually a bassinet fashioned by Jan Cook, member of a work group that meets weekly to make the sturdy and popular baskets.
The basket finds itself at the Centerville auction block via a circuitous route that began with the indigenous people of Nantucket in the early 19th century who crafted hardy field and storage splint baskets. The washashores from the Continent – now known as Nantucketers - adapted the craft to new woods and shapes that became known as the Nantucket Lightship baskets.
That's because during the last half of the 1800s, some of the island men who indulged in the patient art of basket weaving began signing up for duty aboard the lightships off the island and, finding time then as abundant as hydrogen, brought their craft with them to pass the time and supplement their income by selling the baskets on their return for as much as $1.50 to a whopping $50 – absolute bargains by today's inflationary standards.
Helen Hinckley of Barnstable Village, an owner of the former Hinckley Lumber Co. in Hyannis, said she "always had an interest in baskets" when she organized a small group of women in 1983 that, like herself, had developed a yen to learn the process of crafting the solid Nantucket Baskets.
"I got in touch with basket maker Bill Severns of Nantucket and three of us interested in the art flew over there to discuss it with him. He met us at the airport, took us to his home studio, an interesting visit, and in the end agreed to come over to the Cape twice a year to teach us his art while we agreed to pay him for it," said Hinckley.
The classes then were held in the upstairs office area of Hinckley Lumber in Hyannis, not far from the airport and thus convenient to Severns.
Since then, the work group of about a dozen members, which meets weekly for about three hours at Hinckley's home, has been weaving and, more importantly, preserving the Nantucket Basket tradition.
Caccioli, a real estate appraiser, targeted the group some years ago after hearing about it from a friend. "You can't just join from scratch," she said. "We're not teachers. A prospective member has to take lessons from a teacher – there are at last a half-dozen on the Cape – and actually complete a basket or two before joining the work group."
While a substantial amount of labor and expense for raw materials goes into each basket, none of the group does it for profit or sales. "We give them away as presents to family at Christmas and to charitable organizations, such as the Centerville Beautification Committee.. to each her own," said Caccioli.
She offered an executive summary of the process, bringing out from another room in her delightful abode, a "mold" upon which a Nantucket Basket is fashioned, explaining there are a variety of shapes and sizes, including "nesting" baskets that fit perfectly inside one another.
Caccioli also displayed samples of the wooden "staves," thin strips of bendable oak that form the vertical, rounded sides of a basket much as the curved, upward ribs attached to a keel form the sides of a wooden vessel's hull or the sides of a barrel.
She demonstrated how the base, or "bottom-board" of woods like maple, cherry and oak, is turned on a lathe with a grooved edge along the perimeter and screwed onto the bottom of the mold, then the staves placed in the groove of the bottom board to hold them together. "The staves are purchased in lengths that usually have to be cut, then sanded and narrowed on the bottom to fit the smaller diameter of the bottom-board, then bent to flare out to the top diameter of the basket.
Once the staves are in place, the artisan uses cane "weavers" that are string-like lengths of cane to bind the staves horizontally by working the weavers between them.
They said there is a large variety of shapes and sizes of Nantucket baskets and that the art has been adapted to form pocketbooks, utility baskets of all shapes and sizes and even a large bassinet – an oblong basket crib for a baby, as one crafted by Jan Cook, of the group's members.
When they get together at the workshop, say Caccioli and Hinckley, they talk about anything and everything, daughters getting married; planning weddings, kids and politics albeit, they say, while they have different views on the latter subject, the discussion never reaches the threshold of heated argument.
For Mary Quickel of the Centerville Beautification Committee, the basket is "definitely the highlight" of donations to help support the committee's yearlong work. "All proceeds (of the auction) go to the community's parks and gardens," she said. "We seek donations of auction items from local businesses, artists and individuals. There is something for everyone at the auction, including artwork, jewelry, home decorative items and even termite and home inspections, to name a few."
And a visually pleasing, sturdy basket to carry everything home in, one might add.

[13 July 2007] - The Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation (Movilh) announced today that it would take initiatives this year to have the Penal Code amended to stop homosexual and transsexual children from being discriminated against in law on the grounds of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Since last year, the Movilh has involved civil society in this debate, for example, the Agenda for Human Rights for Chile's Bicentenary, includes - on recommendations made by Movilh - the necessity of reforming the Penal Code for sexual minorities, which currently sanctions homosexual relationships between children. As well as announcing legal and social initiatives it will take on this issue, the Movilh publicised a recommendation made by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to the Chilean State last April. The Committee expressed 'concern' that "homosexual relations, including between people under 18 years old, are still criminalised, indicating discrimination on the basis of sexual preference." It recommended that the Chilean State "intensify its efforts to examine, oversee and implement legislation that guarantees the principle of non-discrimination (…) and adopt a proactive and holistic strategy to eliminate discrimination on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, religion, or any other grounds or against any other vulnerable group in the country." The Committee's comments are based on a number of reports sent by the Movilh and the International Commission of Human Rights for Gays and Lesbians on this subject. This was the first time that the UN had drawn the State's attention to this issue. "We have worked hard for homosexual and transsexual adults and for children who have been affected by homophobia and transphobia in schools and colleges. Now it is time to recognise that children's right to love must also be respected. It should not be possible that someone under 18 who feels that they are homosexual or transsexual is criminalised by our Penal Code. This is a violation of their human rights," says Movilh activist Juan Hernández. In 1998, and after seven years of struggle which included bringing a complaint against the Chilean State before the UN, the Movilh succeeded in getting Article 365 of the Penal Code amended to allow sexual relations between adult males, on the condition that they are based on consent and in private. However, this amendment did not help children and young people as they are still criminalised. This is not the case for heterosexuals for whom the age of consent is 12. "This is arbitrary and inhuman. Of course sexual abuse of children must be sanctioned whether they are homosexual or heterosexual, but fixing the age of consent differently according to sexuality is an abuse that must be eliminated. Why should young people of 16 years old who feel love for one another not be allowed to be together? It is important that we approve a draft bill that establishes measures against discrimination as soon as possible," said Hernández. Further information

Hello Yusuke,
A great picture with lots of interesting details. I like the expressions on the children's faces, the feet hanging in the air, the modern equipment in the old-fashioned environment.
A really good composition.
devimeuxbe (58557) 2007-07-21 12:26
Hi Yusuke
This is a very nice portrait. The smile of the chidren are cute and full with spontaneity.
happypoppeye (4817) 2007-07-21 12:31
Anothe great daily life shot Yusuke. Great colors and composition. I especially like the dangling feet that you kept in the shot - one pair naked and one pair sandaled.
Graet work.

Hello Yusuke. The photo A coffee BREAK is a wonderful picture from the Yemen. In each way exemplary and worth seeing. In addition also still of outstanding technical quality. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

It's an interesting contrast between the two expressions on the boys, but my favorite part is the dangling feet. Love the split screen caused by the table top. Also think the hanging fruit from the top helps add a lot of interest to the photo. Very good.

29.07.07 - By Ted Sares: If this fight is made and there is a great and growing clamor for it, here is how I see it playing out. Unless Ricky Hatton can pressure and back up Pretty Boy Floyd, 38-0, he will be in for a long night. PBF will frustrate him with in and out and lateral movement, avoiding Hattons bombs to the body. Unlike Castillo, Mayweather will be hard to find for the incoming Englishman. And unlike De La Hoya (and his left hook), Hatton lacks the wherewithal to trap and stop Mayweather in his tracks, though he does possess a devastating left hook to the body. Like Mayweather, Hatton, 43-0, is undefeated. Unlike Mayweather, he fights in a wild, all-out, all-action, incoming style. If a purist is one who appreciates the technical aspects of the Sweet Science, Floyd Mayweather Junior is a purists delight and Ricky Hatton is a purists nightmare, albeit an entertaining one. Their two respective styles are in stark contrast. Mayweather I am not a great fan of Mayweather (because of his unwillingness to engage in heated exchanges) and Ill be rooting for Hatton. However, I would be foolhardy to dispute PBFs greatness. He is an astute student of old school techniques, likely resulting in his uncanny ability to use shoulders rolls to shrug off blows, deflect punches with his arms, and counter with deadly and crisp accuracy. He does it so well and so subtly, he is seldom given proper credit for it and just might be too good for his own good. His use of feints, parrying, upward jabbing, giving angles, crossover defense, strategic lateral movement, and deflecting punches is all part of the old school mix. So is his mastery of the basics the three levels of defense, slipping punches, and fighting off the jab. His stamina is always top notch and his chin seems durable. In short, his skill set is complete. Hatton However, The Hitman does have one throwback quality that Mayweather seems to lack; namely, a vicious determination and focused tenacity inside the ring. If one definition of Old School is that it combines the full book on basics and technical aspects with a violent and malefic dimension (one that reflects a boxers propensity to engage in a ferocious slugfest), then Hatton owns that part of the equation. His trainer Billy Graham says: "Ricky's always telling jokes, but in the ring he's cold, merciless and an awful man." (BBC Sport, November 27, 2005). While PBF win over De La Hoya was lees than stirring, Hattons win over Urango (which featured some late-round holding) were not exactly of the on- the-edge-of-your-seat variety. His prior close win against Collazo suggested that he could be hurt, at least in that weight class. The Hitman did make up for it, however, when he took out Jose Louis Castillo with one ripping shot to the body. That knockout just might have been the breakthrough he needed to convince American fans he is the real McCoy at 140 pounds. The Prediction The contrasting styles here suggest an encounter between a Matador and a Bull. While PBF will not be able to showcase his full skill-set as he did with Phillip N'dou, I see him winning the fight by UD. Rickys tendency to cut and swell could even result in a late-round stoppage. If that occurs, dont look for a Blue Moon in the evening sky over Manchester. Every time Floyd fights, boxing experts say it's going to be his toughest fight. Then he kicks there [sic] ass, and they still talk ---- about him Give Floyd his dam credit, and shut Manny Stewart [sic] and that other dam fool the ---- up. --Anonymous poster from the Web. He's [PBF] got amazing skills, ... He's pound-for-pound the best in the world, he's great to watch, skilful, lightning fast, I always watch his fights. But I don't think he's the biggest fighter in the world. I don't think he's got much physical strength. When I went to see him fight Gatti, I saw him at the weigh-in and asked myself the question whether or not he was big enough or tough enough to hold me off for 12 rounds. And that'll be the big question once the fight comes along. --Hatton.

If you are scared of spiders then you should not watch this! It will haunt you for years to come. This Australian spotted one gigantic Wolf Spider in his kitchen on the floor. As you do when you find such a spider in your house you would want to kill it. That is exactly what he does by smashing it with a broom.
What happens next is straight out of a horror movie! As soon as the spider was squashed hundreds of mini-spiders were released and they all tried to escape. Female wolf spiders lay their eggs and then wrap them in silk to create a sac. They then carry the egg sacs on their spinnerets until they hatch. After they hatch, the spider babies attach themselves to their mother's back. OMG how about no! Image Source: Screenshot/Youtube/2015

Given these tough economic times, I really need to make Sacred Hair Growth happen. I don't want to get analytical on you. I am also going to explain how to use their wish. I need to secure that hypothesis first. This is because you aren't just talking out of your ass. How can greenhorns come across certified Sacred Hair Growth traps? That is why you may be receiving that because at least you have your options. That's the time to buckle down. That boost is so down to earth. Right here lies the cause of the mystery with Sacred Hair Growth.

Single and ready to Mingle
I'm new to this online dating, and I am excited on what the outcome is going to be like. I've been divorced for about 1.5 years and now looking to date with romance. I'm an 80's type of girl so I love the 80's music (Steve B, Lisa Lisa and the cult Jam, Madonna, Prince and of course Michael Jackson). My other favorite type of music is R&B (Beyonce, Mary J Bleige and R.Kelly). My goals in life are to travel all over the world, which my next trip is "Alaska" next August on the Disney Cruise Line. My main priorities are my two wonderful kids, ages 10 (girl) and 6 (boy). I am a TV series junkie LOL and my favorite show is "The Vampire Diaries". I am a social bee but can be a little reserved at first, however once I get to know you and are comfortable around you, I am very fun to hang out with that is why I have many long term friendships. I don't go out much to clubs/bars because I'm new to the Humble/Houston area. I moved in to Humble 4 years ago from Los Angeles California. I am looking for Hispanic or Caucasian men from ages 35-45. Anyone younger or older I may not consider. Thank you! Looking forward to this new adventure, can't wait to hear from y'all!

Please forgive me for not posting this prior to making my first contribution to the board. That was rather tacky.
I have identified as a Tibetan Buddhist for over five years now, having journeyed from my birth religion of Dutch Reformed through various flavors of nepoaganism and bouts of agnosticism/near-atheism in the last 50+ years. I have been standing at the edge of the pool, dipping in a toe every so often, but never walking in, let alone diving. The time has come to at least wade in up to my knees.
I live about an hour and 15 minutes from Deer Park Buddhist Center, and intend to make the trip there at least monthly starting next month, following my upcoming surgery, assuming I will be able to drive two weeks after having it. I am hopeful. At present that is my best option, as there are no other Tibetan Buddhist centers any closer to me, and driving farther is prohibitive with my schedule.
I have been a substitute teacher for the last school year at the secondary level (middle and high school), while remaining unemployed full-time as I have been since 2009. Prior to that, I worked in a factory for just over ten years before being laid off; however, most of my working adult life was spent as a professional in the editorial field. I worked for a major educational publisher for several years, and then landed a dream job (at the time, it certainly was) with the then-premier role-playing game producer in the country. I left when I had my daughter, 14 years ago--and have "wandered in the wilderness" ever since.
Currently, I am searching for work in the health care administration area, having graduated summa cum laude this past February. While doing so, I am attempting to keep balanced by daily practice and furthering my studies on my own. I hope that I will find something of a "fit" at Deer Park; if so, that will be cause for celebration. And, if not--I will continue searching.
I am very happy to have found this place. I look forward to learning much.

This classified weapon has been called the "blackout" or "soft" bomb, the latter because it doesn't explode with a big bang or tear people to bits outright while going about its business. Whether it is actually harmless is still a matter for debate. The Pentagon, you see, won't talk about it much, and the only pictures of the thing seem to come from former Yugoslavia, where it was used to destroy Serbia's power grid in 1999.
The bomb works by spraying a large cloud of tiny carbon filaments into the air over electrical generation facilities, switching stations, and high-voltage wires. Like paper clips stuck in a wall socket, the filaments cause arcing and short circuits on contact. The onslaught of sparking, melting, and electrical fire is apparently more than enough to cause the collapse of a nation's power system.
Mainstream U.S. war journalists, as alert and enterprising as ever, have never actually reported what it's like for people to endure a good "soft bombing," with exposure to clouds of carbon filament of classified nature (fibrosis in the lung 10 years on, anyone?) or proximity to short-circuiting power plants. Instead, the soft bomb is said to be really groovy because it avoids collateral damagethe military euphemism for civilians being killed, fast or slow, or otherwise made to cry out in pain.
The soft bomb's cost is estimated to be about that of an average cluster bombseveral hundred thousand dollarsmaking it easy on the taxpayer wallet by Department of Defense standards.
History indicates that the soft bomb was probably not built with an eye to avoiding casualties, but instead came about by accident. The original story, perhaps apocryphal, is that the U.S. military was testing an anti-radar wire off California decades ago when winds shifted and blew the chaff over the coast. It came down across power lines and caused a local blackout.
The Pentagon weaponized the trick and attacked Iraq's power grid in Gulf War I with Tomahawk missiles carrying carbon-filament wire. Then came Yankee innovation and, voilà, the soft bomb was born.

In October 1866, a powerful Category 4 hurricane struck the Bahamian Islands. With winds well over 140 miles per hour and even higher gusts that toppled trees, sank ships, peeled away rooftops, and destroyed vital infrastructures, the massive storm battered the islands with great ferocity. When the seas finally calmed and the winds died down, the massive storm had killed more than 387 people in the Bahamas alone and left a massive trail of destruction.
Author Wayne Neely, a leading authority on Bahamian and Caribbean hurricanes, shares an engaging account of how the hurricane of 1866 not only devastated the islands, but also altered the course of Bahamian history forever. While demonstrating how the hurricane significantly impacted the wrecking and salvaging industry, Neely also educates others about the complex set of weather conditions that contribute to hurricanes. He includes fascinating stories of survival and heroism as the storm?s victims struggled to move forward in the midst of tragedy.
Hurricanes are no novelty to the Bahamas, but all who were lucky enough to live through the howling winds and the terror of a sky filled with flying debris surely never forgot The Great Bahamas Hurricane of 1866.

Question? Babin and Peek
Does anyone else think, like I do, that we might see Peek and Babin both line up at OLBs? I could see this happening. Just like the Robinson pick to move colemen to Safety, could the Texas be planning on moving Wong to ILB? Just a thaught.
I have been wondering that also.
I have no clue, but that's what I've been hearing. Babin and Peek on the Outside with Foreman and Sharper on the inside. Not bad.
What they mean is Peek/Babin on the outside, with Wong at Foremans spot and Foreman on the bench. I could see it happening, would Peek have to do a lot of coverage from the LOLB position? I think he has the athleticism and he's probably been working on that in practice but would he be effective there considering he was supposed to be our ROLB pass rusher?
Good point aj...If that scenario did happen though, what do you think the Texans could get if they tried to trade him?
I would LOVE to see Babin and Peek on the field full time. They could make a great duo for Capers and Co.
^ fiddy that is a awesome avator
i think we are going to see babin - foreman - sharper - wong and then on 3rd down/obvious pass situations we will see babin at de and peek at olb, isnt that what cass said? |
I don't see what's so bad about Foreman, his numbers aren't bad.
Tim Couch rode the bench. And im sure he was worth more than 1.5 million. Im not saying its not a possibility. But only if it is in the best interest of the team. |
I would like to see it go
Peek-Wong-Sharper-Babin in the base set. I honestly don't think we lose much with Foreman in there either. |
IMO peek hasnt earned that spot yet. orr played better than peek did. as much as i'd like to see foreman on the bench, i dont think peek, orr, or babin can beat out foreman or wong ... yet. maybe later or next season they can push a veteran out of a job, but none has earned that yet.
Looks like he has some good upside |
I wouldn't mind seeing Shantee Orr out there if he is better than Peek this year. At least now we have about 6 LBs that can play (Sharper, Wong, Foreman, Peek, Orr, Babins). Unlike 3 last year (Sharper, Foremen, & Wong. Peek and Orr were just too raw last year). On a side note who are the back up ILBs? |
A healthy DL will make our LB's look oh so much better whoever we stick out there :D

Even as consumer and business demand have remained steady, government cutbacks have weighed heavily on the economy. Over the past four quarters, the economy has grown at just a 1.4 percent annual rate. But if you exclude federal, state and local governments, the private sector has expanded at a much stronger 2.3 percent rate.
The "ongoing fiscal drag is masking private sector health," LaVorgna said.
There are signs the drag is fading. The federal government cut spending only 1.5 percent in the second quarter after slashing it 8.4 percent in the first. And state and local governments spent more last quarter for the first time in a year.
Overall, economists expect growth will rise to an annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the third and fourth quarters.
On Wednesday, the government also released comprehensive revisions that updated GDP over the past several decades. Those figures showed that the Great Recession wasn't quite as deep as initially estimated and that the recovery has been stronger than earlier thought.
The revisions estimated that the economy grew 2.8 percent in 2012, up from an earlier estimate of 2.2 percent.
GDP is the broadest measure of the nation's output of goods and services. It includes everything from manicures to industrial machinery. The government's comprehensive revisions included changes in how GDP is defined.
Research and development spending is now counted as an investment — and thus a contributor to GDP — rather than a cost. So is spending on the development of entertainment products like movies, music, books and TV shows. Those and other changes expanded the economy by about $560 billion, or 3.5 percent, as of the end of 2012 — to $16.4 billion.
Pension benefit promises are now counted as income. That's a shift from the previous approach, which counted only actual cash payments by companies and government agencies into pension plans. That change boosted the savings rate by 1.5 percentage points in 2011 and 2012 to about 5.6 percent. In the second quarter, Americans saved 4.5 percent of their after-tax income, up from 4 percent in the first quarter.
The biggest source of optimism for the economy has been the acceleration in hiring. Employers added an average of 202,000 jobs a month from January through June, up from 180,000 in the previous six months.
A separate report Wednesday pointed to solid job gains in July. Payroll provider ADP estimated that businesses added 200,000 jobs in July, the most in its survey since December.
Unemployment is still limiting consumer spending. And budget fights in Washington could lead to a government shutdown this fall, potentially disrupting the economy.

Propagation and stability of two-colour spatial optical solitons
Bostock, C, Christian, JM and McDonald, GS 2011, Propagation and stability of two-colour spatial optical solitons , in: College Research Showcase Day, 16th June 2011, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK.
- Published Version
Download (151kB) | Preview |
Two-colour spatial solitons comprise coupled nonlinear optical beams at two distinct temporal frequencies [1]. The components (which may be bright-like and/or dark-like) are localized in space and tend to overlap, thereby allowing the interplay between diffraction and nonlinear effects to result in stationary light structures. We will propose a more complete and realistic model for describing such phenomena. A key feature of our approach is that one may access multicolour geometries involving beam propagation at arbitrary angles and orientations with respect to the reference direction – such considerations are central to multiplexing and interface scenarios, but lie far outside the reach of conventional theory. The modulational instability problem can be solved in a range of physically relevant regimes, and extensive computations have confirmed theoretical predictions. New families of exact analytical two-colour solitons are reported, each of which has co-propagation and counter-propagation classes that are related by geometrical transformation.

Being a Mudder℠ is all about taking on the obstacles in your life and the enormous sense of accomplishment that you feel when you overcome them.
Everyone loves an underdog story. Some, if not most, of histories most memorable sports moments involve nail-biting David vs. Goliath matchups with everything on the line. Throughout the years, however, countless amazing, storybook-like team achievements have seeped through the cracks of sports history.
Here are four of our favorites:
A Tough Mudder course is no stranger to side-splitting creativity, and coming into Tough Mudder Los Angeles, we knew LA Mudders would set the costume bar for the 2015 event season.
Needless to say, we were not disappointed. Here are our top on-course costumes from TM LA.
Before running a big event like Tough Mudder, we look for ways to pump ourselves up. We might dust off our old Jock Jams album, look to mentors for words of wisdom or continuously loop the Rocky-Ivan Drago fight (spoiler alert - Rocky wins). But what if instead of looking outside of us, we started looking inside of us for confidence and self-assurance?
Nearly 10,000 participants took on our Redefined obstacles at Tough Mudder Los Angeles 2015. Among them were several celebrities who signed up to test their own strength and mental grit. If you found yourself thinking "where do I know them from?" while helping someone over an obstacle, here are your answers.
So you've got a phobia or two. Congratulations, you're human.
Even though fears can be paralyzing, conquering them is within your power. Every Tough Mudder event, we see thousands of people accomplish things that mere hours ago they thought were impossible.
Having talked with countless Mudders who have overcome their fear of heights, closed spaces, failure and more, we've learned a thing or two about flipping fear the finger, and it's about time we shared our findings.
First there was Tough Mudder. Then there was World's Toughest Mudder. Then came Fruit Shoot Mini Mudder. Throughout the years, however, one vital demographic remained untapped: babies.
That's why this year, TMHQ is introducing the first-ever toddler-centric obstacle course for children 18 months to three years old and standing at least 1-foot tall: Baby Mudder.
Camping is the best way to maximise your 2015 event weekend experience. To prove it, we have compiled five of the best reasons to include camping in your Tough Mudder preparation. We also got the thoughts of a couple of our veteran Legionnaires, Chris and Sonya, on why they see camping as an integral part of their TM experience.
Thanks to your amazing response to Tough Mudder 2015 and all the new obstacles, this season is set to be the biggest and best yet. While we have listened to your thoughts on our new obstacles, we also make sure we listen to your feedback about the event as a whole. You've been vocal about the decision to remove the t-shirt from the Tough Mudder experience so we're making a change.
Everyone who completes a Tough Mudder event in 2015 will get a Tough Mudder t-shirt for each event you sign up for.

Corulag Academy
this wiki
Corulag Academy, formally the Corulag Imperial Military Academy, was an educational military institution in Curamelle, the capital city of Corulag. It was created before the rise of the Empire, however, and served the Galactic Republic's Army before the Clone Wars. It had a Science Service tower then, which was infiltrated by Bartokk assassins to capture Teela Panjarra for Frexton. After Palpatine took power, the Academy was a branch of the Empire-wide military school. Among the known students at the academy was the man known as Starter, who was eventually expelled due to obnoxious and undisciplined behavior, and Juno Eclipse, a woman who went on to lead Black Eight Squadron then became the personal pilot of Galen Marek.
The Academy trained members of both the Imperial Navy and the Army in undergraduate and graduate degrees. In addition, the specific fields within the Academy were navy midshipmen, army cadets, flight school pilots, and specialists from all services within the Imperial Military. It also accepted Graduates from both Raithal and Prefsbelt Academies. A branch of the Navy's training program was also located on Corulag's largest moon.

Awesome stuff mike. You've grown so much since I've known you. It is really inspiring.
Thanks dude, really means a lot coming from you

happy face :)
lovely atmosphere in this picture... it really has a dark feel to it, very nicely done with the use of color in this as well... i like how you have elongated all the limbs of the other creatures, just a few things about the picture itself, i know a chain can do it, but it just seems a bit odd (the one coming of him arm) , the fluid coming out of the tube, possibly have dribbled it out instead of flowing all of a sudden and i cant make out what the dark shape in the background is... but that's just my view points... a good entry piece!
Thanks for the feedback
Rated 5 / 5 stars
That face
Great job ;)
Thanks Kash!

Following Elite 115 – which described the composition of Napoleon's military and civil 'households', and Marshal Berthier's army general headquarters – this title offers an intimate glimpse of the Emperor's entourage in the field during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Centred on the Waterloo campaign in 1815, it draws comparisons with his earlier triumphs. From the testimony of his trusted servants, the text draws a vivid picture of his daily routines on the march. Of particular interest are new details of Napoleon's tented camp HQ from 1812; and a further selection of the striking uniforms worn by his closest attendants.

The mystery surrounding a Marine's missing heart has already drawn two nations into a Philadelphia federal court battle.
Now, it also threatens to play a part in the confirmation of President Barack Obama's pick to lead the State Department's intelligence arm.
Daniel Bennett Smith, poised to become the department's assistant secretary for intelligence and research, was recently questioned about his role in the autopsy of Brian LaLoup, a Marine sergeant from Coatesville, Pa., whose heart disappeared after he killed himself while stationed in Athens, Greece, in 2012.
At the time, Smith served as the United States' ambassador to the country. But it was his potential new post that prompted U.S. Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., to ask Smith for a full account of his actions.
Toomey posed his questions as part of the run-up to Smith's expected Senate confirmation vote later this year.
"I remain deeply saddened by the tragic death of Sgt. LaLoup, and the subsequent events regarding his heart," Smith wrote in response to Toomey. "From the outset, this matter was a high priority for me. I personally raised the issue at the most senior levels of the Greek government, pressing for a full investigation and accounting as well as the return of Sgt. LaLoup's heart."
Smith's response was outlined in an email sent to LaLoup's family from Toomey's office and later obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer. It offers the most detailed picture yet of the U.S. response to questions surrounding the handling of the Marine's remains.
Attempts to reach Smith directly were unsuccessful Monday. State Department officials have repeatedly said their investigation continues.
Last month, LaLoup's family sued the U.S. and Greek governments, claiming a government-run hospital in Athens removed their son's heart in an illegal autopsy. The story they spun in court filings is as bizarre as it is troubling.
LaLoup, who was stationed as an embassy security officer in Athens, fatally shot himself Aug. 12, 2012, after a night of heavy drinking.
But his family claimed U.S. military officials never informed them that their son's remains were incomplete until well after his burial — and even then only when an officer let the fact slip in conversation.
The hospital and the Defense Department later claimed to have located LaLoup's missing heart and sent it back to the United States. But testing later revealed that heart did not match the Marine's DNA.
More than a year later, the LaLoups say they are no closer to finding out what happened to their son's heart or where the heart they were sent came from.
In his response to Toomey's questioning last week, Smith firmly sided with the LaLoups' claims that their son's autopsy in Greece was improper.
Three times before the procedure occurred, he attempted to block it, appealing as high as chief officers in the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he said.
Typically, the remains of service members killed overseas are sent back to the United States for postmortem investigations.
In response to Toomey's questions last week, Smith said he personally demanded an "immediate and thorough" investigation when he learned that LaLoup's heart had disappeared and continued to follow up on that demand until his last day as ambassador in August.
But his calls for answers appeared to go unanswered.
"As a father of three sons, including one serving in the U.S. Army, I have the greatest sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. LaLoup and what they have gone through," Smith said in his response to Toomey.
Christos Failadis, a spokesman to the Greek Embassy in Washington, has previously said LaLoup's heart was removed for toxicology testing, but he offered no insight into where the heart might be now or Greek efforts to recover it. He did not return calls for comment Monday.
Aaron J. Freiwald, an attorney representing the LaLoups in their suit against the United States and Greece, said that while his clients were thankful for Smith's responses, they raised even more questions.
"This was really the first significant confirmation that the State Department believes that what happened was unlawful," he said. "But it seems hard to believe that if the U.S. ambassador says he wants to know something, he would get no answer."
Smith's nomination to his new post was approved by the Senate intelligence committee last week. He awaits a confirmation vote from the full Senate later this year.

It's important to know how your food is produced, why it's produced that way and how the world can produce enough to feed itself in the coming years. We invite you to take a look at the collaborations we are making in agriculture, and to learn more about Monsanto.
Last month, Monsanto was recognized at National FFA Convention as one of the five platinum sponsors of the National FFA Foundation in Louisville, Ky. Check out our infographic highlighting a few of the focus areas Monsanto supports within the FFA sponsorship.

Take a peek through the window into agriculture's future by learning more about the products in our research and development pipeline...
Our America's Farmers campaign features real farm families doing what they do every day – growing not only our food, but also our economy and our quality of life here in America. We're all connected to agriculture and it's time we, as a nation, learn more about the industry that provides for us every day.
If you've heard much about agricultural biotechnology, you've potentially heard of Percy Schmeiser. Schmeiser is a Canadian canola farmer who Monsanto successfully sued for patent violation after unlicensed Roundup Ready canola was found growing on his farm.
Starting from when we began our efforts to settle the matter out-of-court, Schmeiser claimed the biotech plants in his fields got there by accident and were not planted by him. It's a claim he continues to make to this day. He's become something of a folk hero in some circles, playing the role of David to Monsanto's Goliath. He's often quoted in the press and is a frequent speaker around the world at events hosted by groups opposed to agricultural biotechnology.
The truth is Percy Schmeiser is not a hero. He's simply a patent infringer who knows how to tell a good story. Unlike his neighbors, and the vast majority of farmers who plant patented seeds, Schmeiser saved seed that contained Monsanto's patented technology without a license. As indicated by the trial court in Canada, the seed was not blown in on the wind nor carried in by birds, and it didn't spontaneously appear. Schmeiser knowingly planted this seed in his field without permission or license. By doing so, he used Monsanto's patented technology without permission. In fact, the courts determined this in three separate decisions.
Consider just a few of the facts.
In the first trial, Schmeiser claimed in 1997 he sprayed Roundup on three acres of his canola field because he was suspicious it might be Roundup tolerant. If his story were true, this would kill any canola plants other than those tolerant to Roundup. After killing more than half his crop, he then harvested the remaining plants that did not die and segregated this seed. The next year (1998) he had this seed treated and used this seed to plant 1,030 acres on his farm.
Why would he harvest seed that he says he didn't want on his farm and deliberately plant it the following year?
As expressed in the Canadian Supreme Court judgment documents:
Mr. Schmeiser complained that the original plants came onto his land without his intervention. However, he did not at all explain why he sprayed Roundup to isolate the Roundup Ready plants he found on his land; why he then harvested the plants and segregated the seeds, saved them, and kept them for seed; why he planted them; and why, through his husbandry, he ended up with 1,030 acres of Roundup Ready canola which would have cost him $15,000.
Schmeiser didn't have a few Roundup Ready plants in his field. His fields had mostly Roundup Ready plants in them–far more than could have ever grown there by accident. Again, in the words of the Canadian court judgment:
…tests revealed that 95 to 98 percent of this 1,000 acres of canola crop was made up of Roundup Ready plants. …The trial judge found that "none of the suggested sources [proposed by Schmeiser] could reasonably explain the concentration or extent of Roundup Ready canola of a commercial quality" ultimately present in Schmeiser's crop.
Consider Schmeiser's legal history with this situation:
During his frequent lecture tours, Schmeiser continues to say he didn't plant Roundup Ready seeds. He's even stated he won the case in the Canadian Supreme Court. What he doesn't say is that three separate court decisions, including the Supreme Court decision, say exactly the opposite.

disappointed that the U.S. instead has chosen to resume protectionist

The BCLTC represents 80% of interior lumber production and a substantial
proportion of coastal production.
