Tomorrow we do the Hero Workout named "Zembiec", after Major Doug Zembiec, USMC. Maj Zembiec was the Commanding Officer of my infantry company, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines during the battle of Fallujah. I got to the unit a couple years later, so I did not serve under him, but his reputation and impact were still present. -RJD Below is the citation for the Silver Star which he was awarded posthumously. Silver Star Citation For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as a Marine Advisor, Iraq Assistance Group, Multi-National Corps, Iraq, in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 11 May 2007. Attacking from concealed and fortified positions, an enemy force engaged Major Zembiec's assault team, firing crew-served automatic weapons and various small arms. He boldly moved forward and immediately directed the bulk of his assault team to take cover. Under withering enemy fire, Major Zembiec remained in an exposed, but tactically critical, position in order to provide leadership and direct effective suppressive fire on the enemy combatant positions with his assault team's machine gun. In doing so, he received the brunt of the enemy's fire, was struck and succumbed to his wounds. Emboldened by his actions his team and supporting assault force aggressively engaged the enemy combatants. Major Zembiec's quick thinking and timely action to re-orient his team's machine gun enabled the remaining members of his unit to rapidly and accurately engage the primary source of the enemy's fire saving the lives of his comrades. By his bold initiative, undaunted courage, and complete dedication to duty, Major Zembiec reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. http://www.alisocrossfit.com/all-levels/wednesday-5272015

Each year, the Mann Center's Academic Integrity Advocates lead a group of more than 400 freshmen in a discussion on academic integrity. The events are part of the Mann Center's ongoing series of Courageous Conversations.
2012 student facilitators included Lydia Nace (Junior/History), Jane Marie Hutcheson (Senior/Communication Studies), Cassie Black (Senior/Biology), and Demi Eckhoff (Junior/Nutrition and Dietetics). 2013 facilitators included Analeigh Horton (Sophomore/Communication Studies), Cameron Cross (Sophomore/JMC), Christina Witt (Sophomore/Music), and Claire Gaxiola (Sophomore/Undeclared).
On October 6, 2011, faculty members Dr. John Knapp, Dr. Doug Clapp and Ms. Lori Northrup joined current students Tom Oliver and Caroline Noland to discuss the findings of the 2011 Samford Survey on Academic Integrity. Audience members were informally polled on issues such as how to define cheating and how serious the problem was on Samford's campus.
This event was part of the Mann Center's ongoing series of Courageous Conversations, and was co-sponsored by University Ministries and the University Library.

Terrace's Downs injures knee, out for the season
Unfortunately for the Hawks' 6-foot-3, 230-pound star running back/linebacker, it ended before it began. Downs will not play this season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a June 21-24 football camp held at Oregon State University, according to the website MLT News.
"At the time he was told it was just hyper-extended," Terrace head football coach Tony Umayam told MLT News. "The fact that it did not heal as quickly as we thought prompted him to get an MRI," which discovered the torn ACL.
"I just felt terrible when I heard about it. It is so sad when such an impactful player isn't able to go out and compete with his team his senior season."
Downs had a huge impact for Terrace last season, rushing for 1,266 yards and 23 touchdowns last year, according to MLT News. His performance helped the Hawks reach the postseason for just the second time in school history.
Downs drew interest from a number of Pacific-12 Conference schools including Washington, Washington State, Colorado, Arizona and Stanford. He visited the two Bay Area Pac-12 schools -- Stanford and Cal -- this past May.

The search giant — the SE you're Oing for — gets behind responsive design and serving the same code to both desktop/laptop and smartphone users. Why?
Using a single URL for a piece of content makes it easier for your users to interact with, share, and link to your content, and a single URL for the content helps Google's algorithms assign the indexing properties for the content.
No redirection is needed for users to get to the device-optimized view, which reduces loading time. Also, user-agent-based redirection is error-prone and can degrade your site's user experience…
Responsive web design saves resources for both your site and Google's crawlers. For responsive web design pages, any Googlebot user-agents needs to crawl your pages once, as opposed to crawling multiple times with different user-agents, to retrieve your content. This improvement in crawling efficiency can indirectly help Google index more of the site's contents and keep it appropriately fresh.
Google also gives some hints on how to make sure your non-responsive site gets properly crawled by the Googlebot. (In other Google news, Show comments / Leave a commentHide comments
The Nieman Foundation (of which Nieman Lab is a part) just announced our 78th class of Nieman Fellows. (For the uninitiated: The Nieman Fellowship allows 24 journalists the chance to spend a year at Harvard, studying the subjects of their choice, and working to improve the state of journalism, in the United States and worldwide.)
It's a great group, as it is every year. A few of the names will be familiar to Nieman Lab readers — we wrote about Grzegorz Piechota back in 2012, and we've written about Mónica Guzmán several times over the years.
You can find the new fellows' Twitter handles here, and more information about the fellowship is here. Meanwhile, here are the ideas they'll be exploring at Harvard starting this fall — the Americans listed first, then the internationals.
And if you're a journalist who'd benefit from a year to step back from your daily work and work on something bigger, the next application cycle is only a few months away.
Debra Adams Simmons, a senior news executive at Advance Local, the parent company of a group of metro news organizations, will study the impact of the digital news transformation on newsroom leadership and diversity, media ethics and local communities.
Mariah Blake, most recently a senior reporter for Mother Jones, will study the intersection of science and U.S. government policy.
Christopher Borrelli, a features writer at the Chicago Tribune, plans to study the decline of regional identities in the United States and the role that income inequality and social policy play in that change.
Andrea Bruce, a conflict photographer, will study the history of democratic theory and new storytelling techniques beyond photography.

Mary Meehan, a writer at the Lexington Herald-Leader, will examine the impact of the Affordable Care Act and barriers to sustained health improvement among the previously uninsured.
Todd Pitman, Bangkok bureau chief for The Associated Press, will study the causes and consequences of military intervention in emerging nations and examine ways to advance reporting in countries under army rule.
Wendi C. Thomas, a columnist for the Memphis Flyer, will study how to deepen the public conversation on economic justice using a multimedia news website and civic engagement campaign.
Kim Tingley, a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, will study the history and philosophy of science, specifically the science of navigation and its relationship to memory and sense of place.
Christopher Weyant, a cartoonist for The New Yorker, will study the repositioning of editorial cartoons as a critical asset to journalism's digital business model.
Christine Willmsen, an investigative reporter for The Seattle Times, will study emerging toxins and chemicals that impact the health and safety of our workforce.
Wonbo Woo, a producer for NBC News, will study the way major media events impact communities and examine the collateral effects of competitive news coverage on towns and residents after the spotlight fades.
Cansu Çamlibel (Turkey), a writer and senior diplomatic correspondent for Hürriyet, will study the rise of political Islam and how religion shaped contemporary Turkish political discourse.
Naomi Darom (Israel), a writer at Haaretz, will study the relationship between feminism and the messages about gender conveyed by popular culture.

Grzegorz Piechota (Poland), head of the Innovation Lab at the Warsaw-based Gazeta Wyborcza, will study patterns in digital news content engagement to identify best practices.
Anastasia Taylor-Lind (UK/Sweden), a documentary photographer, will study the ways women are portrayed in ancient and modern conflict.
Fungai Tichawangana (Zimbabwe), managing editor of Zimbo Jam, Zimbabwe's leading arts and culture website, will study digital storytelling techniques, the development of interactive media and online security.
The latest version of NYT Now, The New York Times' aggregation-fueled smartphone app, is out today and, for the first time, it's free to all users.
Though rumored and discussed for some time, it's still a significant shift for the company, which originally launched the app as a cheaper alternative to a full Times subscription, specifically focused on younger, more smartphone-centric readers. At $8 a month, it was about half the price of the cheapest digital subscription to the Times.
But even that price was too high to attract a substantial paying audience. The Times captured a reported 20,000 subscribers, and a majority of NYT Now users were full Times subscriptions who had the app thrown in as a benefit. And so Paywalls 2.0 shifts to NYT Now 2.0.
Inside the company, the app was seen as a creative and technological success, if not a financial one. In a January memo to staff, Times executive editor Dean Baquet wrote:
We have made clear that NYT Now was not a financial breakthrough. But it has been a tremendous journalistic success, showing up on almost every ranking of best new apps. We learned many significant lessons from building NYT Now. We realized we could be more visual, and talk to readers in a different, less formal way, and still be The New York Times. We are exploring how we can make NYT Now a financial success.
That exploration has turned it into a ad-supported model that could let the app — which has been consistently well reviewed — reach a broader audience of phone-heavy readers. Some of those might eventually graduate up to the full Times experience, but there'll be ads to serve to those who don't.
NYT Now 2.0 collapses its first two tabs — a selection of Times stories and a curated assemblage of stories from elsewhere — into one stream, with the Times stories on top. (Who's getting link love from the Times? This morning the app featured Vanity Fair, Quartz, BuzzFeed, Jezebel, Slate, Pacific Standard, Rolling Stone, and Deadline, among others.)
NYT Now's secret weapon: amazing editors. Story selection (from the NYT + across the web) is smart & surprising. Best "blog" in the world.
— Robin Sloan (@robinsloan) May 11, 2015
The app previously allowed only 10 free stories a month to non-subscribers; now users will be able to read 10 selected Times stories at any given time and 20 or 30 stories over a 24-hour period, Times spokeswoman Linda Zebian said.
@AntDeRosa Old app was 10 free articles a month. @NYTNOW 2.0: all NYT articles free, all the time.
— Clifford Levy (@cliffordlevy) May 11, 2015
As the Times marches closer to 1 million digital subscribers, the company has spent the last few years trying to find ways to diversify its paid offerings. NYT Now, along with the short-lived NYT Opinion app, were supposed to be the next phase in generating more revenue from readers. But slow subscriber pickup pushed a switch in models, including a greater reliance on brand advertising. As app team leader Cliff Levy put it to Ken Doctor last fall:
The stories themselves are still basically unchanged, what you'd see in a smartphone mobile browser or the Times' full app. The app now lets readers know how many new stories have been added at launch, and the bullet-point-centric morning and evening news roundups now come with optional push notifications when they're ready.
…we realized that perhaps we went too fast toward monetizing NYT Now and NYT Opinion. Maybe in the future, a better path is to first do audience development and then do monetization.
When NYT Now debuted, one concern was that existing Times subscribers would find the app was "enough Times for them" and downgrade from a full print or digital subscription to eight bucks a month. Making the app completely free would seem to be an even greater potential risk.
@cliffordlevy @AntDeRosa I feel conflicted about this. Paying for NYTNow eased my guilt about not paying for news most of the time.

Last year, The Washington Post debuted a new app for the Kindle Fire with an intriguingly distinct user interface. Jeff Bezos was quite involved in its development, "Project Rainbow" — not surprising, I suppose, considering that it was the most meaningful crossover yet between his day job (owning Amazon) and his side gig (owning The Washington Post).
Now, the visual metaphors of that Kindle Fire app are crossing over to the web:
"Based on the success of our new tablet app, we decided to experiment with different ways to carry that experience to the Web," said Martin Baron, executive editor of The Washington Post. "We think it could be an excellent way to both provide users of the app a seamless experience as they navigate to the web, and to continue expanding our national and global audience, particularly among Millennials, whose readership of The Post is growing steadily."
Starting today, a subset of mobile readers who click on a shared link will be taken to a new version of The Post's site (Washingtonpost.com/rweb), which will evolve over the coming months, based on their feedback.
Reviews on Twitter have been mixed:

It is awkward when viewed on desktop. But while it's available on the open web, it's really targeted at mobile web only. And, I have to think, tablets, because it also looks pretty goofy on a phone:
There are some appealing ideas in the design, which tries to recapture some of the leafing-through-the-paper feel of print. With every story getting big visual presentation, and scrolling story-by-story as the default navigation, you do get a sense of the sweep of a newspaper. But, like the spiritually similar Today's Paper from The New York Times, I have a hard time imagining it'll ever be anything but a niche point of entry to Post content.
The Knight Foundation is awarding more than $700,000 to a new round of technology projects, with a focus on storytelling, data, and community building. Twenty projects will each receive $35,000 as part of the Knight Prototype Fund, which is aimed at offering early seed investments in ideas focused on information needs.
The projects in this round come from the world of technology, media, and civic engagement and include media companies like Chicago Public Media and The Lens, as well as content recommendation service Contextly and a former Knight-Mozilla OpenNews fellow.
Like many Knight-backed projects, the Prototype Fund winners are designed to address community-based problems focused on increasing access to information, building tools for reporters, and improving participation in elections. (Disclosure: The Knight Foundation is a funder of Nieman Lab, though not through the Prototype Fund.)
Some of the projects include an app that uses games to helps voters identify what candidate they agree with, a tool for curating science stories based on credibility metrics, and a platform to help news organizations verify photos from users. Along with the funding, each project will go through a six-month program from the LUMA Institute that will take teams through human-centered design and prepare them for a demo day later this year.
Knight is currently accepting applications for the next round of Prototype Fund grants, with a deadline of May 15. The full list of winners is below.

BuzzFeed wants to find a better way to weigh its viral success, and it wants to convert clicks to Pounds.
At the NewFronts presentations in New York today the company unveiled its new proprietary system for analyzing how content races across the the web — and sharing that information with its advertisers. Specifically, the "Process for Optimizing and Understanding Network Diffusion" is meant to shed a little light into the hidden corners of the social web. BuzzFeed has said that 75 percent of its 200 million monthly users are visiting the site through social media, so it would only make sense the company would want to better understand the patterns and habits of social sharing.
What exactly does Pound do? BuzzFeed publisher Dao Nguyen:
It follows propagations from one sharer to another, through all the downstream visits, even across social networks and one-to-one sharing platforms like Gchat and email.
Pound is the Process for Optimizing and Understanding Network Diffusion.
Pound does not store usernames or any personally identifiable information (PII) with the share events. Each node in the sharing graph is anonymous. We are not able to figure out who a user is by looking at the graph data. Pound data is collected based on an oscillating, anonymous hash in a sharer's URL as a UTM code.
Instead of roping off social sharing into platform-based categories (how many came from Twitter vs. Facebook vs. Pinterest), Pound is designed to trace the way stories or videos are shared. It builds a pathway that shows all the routes a piece of content can take from being shared by one person over chat to exploding on Twitter.
What does it look like in action? BuzzFeed decided to examine the case of the infamous blue/black/white/gold dress that brought the Internet to a standstill in February. The initial post from BuzzFeed has been viewed more than 38 million times. Using Pound, they broke that down:
Nguyen said they plan to use Pound to gather more granular insights on the type of content that resonates with people and to optimize their sharing strategies. And since Pound made its debut at the marketer-friendly NewFronts, the company will use the tool to give advertisers a better picture of their audience. They've already used it to evaluate the effectiveness of sponsored content:
It should not be a surprise BuzzFeed wants to build a better machine for understanding how content performs in the wider world outside its own website, as the company has been laying out its vision for distributed content over the last several months.
Pound data proves that sponsored content is shared just like editorial content. @Target's fanny basket content is great example. #NewFronts
— BuzzFeed Partner (@buzzfeedpartner) April 27, 2015
In March, it was reported that the company, along with The New York Times and National Geographic, was considering hosting content on Facebook. At SXSW, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti offered a glimpse of the "cascade" of data that Pound provides. (Indeed, compare Pound to The New York Times' similar-in-spirit Cascade project.)
Peretti told the audience then: "For us, it increasingly doesn't matter where our content lives," he said. "That can actually be a huge advantage."
One measure of that success has been BuzzFeed's success with video, reaching 1 billion monthly video views, with only 5 percent of that coming from BuzzFeed.com.

GoNOMAD MINI GUIDE
If it hasn't happened to you yet, it will. As the number of air travelers grows, so does the chance you may find yourself left behind. A delayed or canceled flight can wreak havoc on a planned excursion. But knowing your passenger rights can go along way to dealing with air travel pitfalls.
Get the Rules
Do the Bump
*Find out when you will get a confirmed seat on a flight to your destination.
*Find out the restrictions on your voucher.
*See what added perks are included. Meals, phone calls, or hotel rooms for long delays may be included.
If the airline cannot get enough volunteers they will resort to Involuntary Bumping. At this point, they will take some flyers off the flight. Usually, the toss of the coin falls to the last couple of flyers that checked in, or flyers that do not have assigned seats or did not reconfirm a flight.
If this happens to you, you could be eligible to receive compensation for missing your flight. To qualify, there are several conditions that must be met.
*You must have a confirmed reservation that fits the deadline for purchase.
*The deadline for check in has been met. (Ask your airline what their deadline is)
Where's my Free Ticket?
The Flight's Been Cancelled?!?!
Where's My Luggage?
Though not foolproof, here are a few things you can do to prevent your bags ending up in some unclaimed luggage room in Timbuktu:
*Check the luggage tags the agent puts on your bag.
*Remove all past trip tags.
*Place identification tags within your bags.
*Place colored markings on your bags.
*Leave anything you would hate to lose at home.
Can't Get No Satisfaction
There are several steps to making a complaint.
*Document the situation as it happens. Keep flight numbers, names of employees, other customers and any other details that will make your case.
*Try to settle you situation first at the airport. There is usually a supervisor on hand to deal with trouble situations. In a very calm manner explain that you are a frequent flyer with the airline and then present your complaint backed up with details. Do not use exaggeration and make sure to state what you think is fair compensation.
*If the situation is not settled to your satisfaction, send a letter of complaint to the director of consumer affairs at the airline. Include copies of receipts, frequent flyer number, details, and acceptable compensation. Stay polite and business-like. If possible use business stationary (Business travelers are an airline's bread and butter). Send the letter by certified mail, return receipt requested.
*Send a copy of the letter and documentation to the Department of Transportation, Aviation Consumer Division. They can provide information to better your case.
If you have problems with an overseas airline, your options are somewhat more limited. Try to handle it in the airport. If you can't, contact the airline's US office when you return and send a letter as above.
Be persistent and resend another letter if you have not had a response in 6 weeks. If all else fails, there are legal remedies, but make sure your cause is worth it. Last but not least, take heart. The situation, at least domestically, is being monitored in Congress.

I replaced both side view mirrors glass. The old ones had wierd brown waves along the edges.
Blue one Nothing but drive it...... my Green one had to have the Alternator replaced last week. took longer to get the warranty Alt and have it tested from the "auto jobber" than to remove and replace the old one.
On a side note, getting it tested at the autojobber of choice, is a good thing, as they can print out the test or display it, and you can jot down the voltage and amperage of the new unit. So that when you place it on your car and start it after, you can measure the voltage to the battery to determine how bad your cables are.

Planning to start my electrical revamp of the dash and lights. Also doing the front brakes strut bearings and front wheel bearings. Have all the parts just have no time. I'll post up pics when I start
Looked at mine sitting in it's upset leaking fuel state. Got a lot of things planned for it over the warmer months.
Was more yesterday night and in the morning today lol
Replaced Brake Booster and Master Cylinder...next up, pads and shoes and full brake system bleed
sewed myself a new shift boot
waxed a bit while having a few cigs!
Pulled the old fuel pump (external), re did some vacuum lines, and changed my passenger axle!
1990 Jetta GLI
1992 Corrado SLC
1986 Cabriolet
1998 Cabrio
92 Cabby was running bad and had idle surges. Replaced idle control valve. Found much valve cover leaks...replaced with rubber valve cover from germanautoparts. found main big air tube practically disconnected from air box. Still have to fix exhaust gasket leaks from head to manifold.
had a 99 cabrio towed home..so the fun starts on that.
changed my gear oil, cleaned up my battery terminals. And did a little touch up job on some rough spots in my paint.
The alloy wheels (actually the clear coating) were dull and nasty. I cleaned them today with brillo pads, then used #400 wet sandpaper on them, cleaned and dried them, then sprayed them with 3coats of a high quality gloss clear paint (Valspar). I didn't even take them off the car, I just masked the tires. The wheels look brand new now and it was totally simple. When the paint cures, I plan to put a silicone spray type auto finish coating on them so the brake dust won't stick.
That went so fast and well, I then attacked the famous left leg leak by messing with the top, adjusting, and re-doing the silicone sealent areas. We will see.
Removed damaged top radiator support from 99 cabrio. Found wires to passenger side headlight cut and gone. installed new battery.
Cleaned up rear Springs and resprayed with epoxy paint as well as the upper spring seats.. Made new flanges for the lower spring seats as the originals were gone and the KYB's did not fit my new struts... Ordered new engine mounts all around.. New oilpump and windage tray are next on the list. Then fixing windsheild rust... and touching up paint. Should get the rear Struts in tonight (they are in and what a difference that made!).

Made a whole new wiring harness with relays for my new quad grille! and started cleaning my wheels so they look nice for when the car comes out of paint!
Pulled the dash to change the vacuum servo. Going back in with the dash today after I trace the charge light wire to find the short.
I will figure out how to post pic's later, out to continue on the job.
85 Cabriolet
Picked these up:
"Zed's dead, baby, Zed's dead."

Buddy of mine in Obernzenn had them in his basement, traded him some Golf 3 GTI reds straight up. I'm going to try to make some bases for them tomorrow while I look for a legit power set from a Jetta.

Kent State Dedicates New Math EmporiumPosted Sep. 19, 2011
Members of the Kent State University community celebrated the opening of the new Kent State Math Emporium on Tuesday, Sept. 13. The Math Emporium, a state-of-the-art computerized learning center, is located on the second floor of the University Library and is designed to help students learn math.
"The university has developed a specialized learning experience to equip students with the mathematical knowledge they will need on their path to graduation," says Robert G. Frank, Kent State provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. "The students will learn math by interacting with a team of instructors and the Web-based math software called ALEKS. The Math Emporium promises to make a significant impact on our first-year retention. For some students, it will give them confidence in their math skills to pursue careers that require math, such as nursing and finance."
At the Math Emporium, students will learn through an innovative, engaging and easy-to-use program designed to help them become comfortable and proficient in basic mathematics. The Math Emporium serves as the classroom for four classes: Basic Algebra 1, 2, 3 and 4. Prior to the beginning of school, students take a placement assessment to determine which math courses they need. Students who need additional math preparation to succeed in college will be matched with the appropriate course of study in the Math Emporium.
"Students will focus on learning exactly what they need to know at their own pace while their instructional team provides individualized coaching," says Andrew Tonge, chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. "The Math Emporium uses an adaptive software program, ALEKS, to determine what students already know. It then offers each student an individualized choice of paths forward. This enables them to complete the curriculum efficiently by always studying only material they are ready to learn. All students can then manage their study time to focus on actively learning precisely the information they need, with the aid of online help tools and an interactive e-book, together with one-on-one assistance from an instructional team."
"The Math Emporium's potential effect on student success is very exciting," Frank says. "In addition to this Math Emporium on our Kent Campus, we will have similar facilities on our Regional Campuses."
The Math Emporium features state-of-the-art technology with 247 computer stations in an 11,154-square-foot space. The facility also features bright, vibrant colors and comfortable furniture, making it an attractive and appealing environment.
The Math Emporium is staffed from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday; and noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday. Students also can access the program from any Web browser.
For more information on the Math Emporium, visit www.kent.edu/mathemporium.

More than 2,000 honor slain NM family
Saturday - 1/26/2013, 4:05am EST
By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN
Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - More than 2,000 people gathered at an Albuquerque church to remember five members of a New Mexico family gunned down in their home last weekend. There were also prayers for the 15-year-old son and brother charged with the killings.
Following a police escort, chaplains and members of the Albuquerque Fire Department lined the procession. Bagpipes played at the memorial service Friday and the urns of former pastor Greg Griego, his wife Sarah and their three young children were carried into the one of the city's largest churches.
Family members recalled Greg Griego's lumbering walk, his hearty laugh and his endless commitment to helping others to turn their lives around. His wife, known for her cooking, and their children were just as much a part of that ministry. The family was always a front-row fixture at church services.
The crowd prayed for the Griegos and for their son Nehemiah, who remains in custody.
Annette Griego, one of Greg Griego's adult daughters, told those at the service that her father was a man whose heart was after God.
"My dad never gave up on me. He never gave up on any of us. He never stopped giving us Jesus and so I know he would want us to do the exact same thing for our brother, Nehemiah," she said. "So if you wonder where we stand, we stand alongside our brother."
"We stand confident that God will take this tragedy and use it for something good," she said.
News of the slayings has reverberated throughout the community, where Greg Griego _ a former gang member turned pastor _ was known for his work with jail inmates, his service at local rescue missions and his spiritual guidance for firefighters and members of the military.
Friends said Greg Griego and his teenage son went on missions to Mexico and that the boy was a talented drummer who played with the church's youth band.
On Friday, family, friends and members of the Calvary Albuquerque church who watched the boy grow up continued to struggle, trying to make sense of the tragedy.
Nehemiah Griego was just a normal teen to Vince Harrison, a former police officer who had known the family for about 10 years through his security work at the church.
"He did not fit the criteria of a kid who was crazy into guns and wanted to hurt people. That's absolutely false," Harrison said.
Nehemiah Griego is facing murder and child abuse charges in the deaths of his parents and three younger siblings _ all found shot to death inside their rural home south of Albuquerque on Jan. 19.
Detectives were at the home for two days collecting evidence. They also have been reviewing text messages and calls between the boy and his 12-year-old girlfriend and security video from Calvary, where the teen apparently spent much of the day following the early morning shootings.
After the killings, authorities allege that Nehemiah Griego reloaded his parents' two semi-automatic rifles and put them in the family van and planned to gun down Wal-Mart shoppers.
Public defender Jeff Buckels said he will consult with mental health experts and investigate the effects of violent video games. Authorities have said Griego liked to play "Modern Warfare" and "Grand Theft Auto."

Nitpick: Atypical Thanks
Thanksgiving Day has come and gone by but that doesn't mean that one should reserve giving thanks to just that day. After all, the spirit of thanks should be given year round! In light of this, and as the year ends, it's only fitting that I take a moment to give thanks and appreciation to the wonderful world of gaming for what it has provided this year. Nitpicking the little details - and sometimes big ones - is good and all but it's nice to mix it up and do the complete opposite and praise games for what they do. Rather than having one large overarching theme, I'd like to dedicate this time to praise multiple games and developers that released a game that did something awesome. Now... who wants some glory?!
Noel Kreiss in Final Fantasy XIII-2 is one awesome dude. He's a down-to-earth guy who thinks things in a realistic fashion but also tries to cope with the idealistic vision in his heart. When you see the turmoil that goes on inside of him, along with his tragic history you begin to feel some sort of sympathy for him. Square-Enix did an excellent job creating a protagonist that's not profound or anything new. Rather the intricate and emotional plot points that are revealed in the latter half of the game shed some light that the company has the ability to create truly compelling characters. In more ways than one, Noel is a blessing to all of those who wanted a narrative arc truly worth caring about in a JRPG. Here's to you Noel - even if you're life sort of sucks.
Asura's Wrath is probably the most ridiculous, outrageous, and bombastically crazy game I've ever played since... hmm... actually, nothing comes to mind. The gameplay style was refreshing due to how it constantly shifted what you did and the narrative was interesting to say the least. Using odd visual styles of the various deities, these characters almost felt like paintings come to life. Add to that the constant rage that Asura exemplifies, you got one heck of a thrill-ride. I almost wish Asura's Wrath never ended just because of how insanely amusing the game was. If I remember anything in the game world of how something can be so outlandishly balls to the walls, it would be this game. Crazy isn't always bad. Sometimes it's good. Ridiculously good.
Tales of Graces f is one game that I thought would never come stateside. Ever since I played the game when it originally launched on the Wii, I instantly fell in love with its awesome combat system. While the story isn't something outstanding, it does a good job in trying to portray its theme of protecting friends. After Tales of Vesperia, I wondered if the next Tales game would get locazlied. I'm thankful that Namco Bandai released Tales of Graces f this year and will be releasing Tales of Xillia next year. Here's to hopefully Tales of Xillia 2 in 2014! Of course, I'll have it finished in Japanese by then.
Mass Effect 3 has a special place in my heart because of my conflicted feelings for it. While the beginning and ending don't stand out as something particularly amazing, the rest of the game is truly outstanding. Mass Effect 3 portrays the destruction of civilizations unfolding right before your very eyes and masterfully ties that to the various crewmembers that travel alongside you. It's an emotional event, one that never gets tiresome to see fellow companions struggle as their own people are ripped away from the face of the galaxy. Even the humorous Garrus can be depressed in such harsh times and that is in and of itself an accomplishment.
For some reason I never enjoyed Darksiders very much. The combat felt slow and janky, the dungeons didn't intrigue me all that much, and the narrative premise never piqued my interest. Despite all of these problems that I had, Darksiders II gripped me instantly. The protagonist Death looked super cool, the combat felt something like Devil May Cry, and the dungeons were a thrill to blast through. The game didn't excel in everything it did nor did it do something new and entirely unique. Rather, it took elements of various games and made it into a cohesive and compelling package. It's a rarity in this day and age to see a developer succeed such a feat and for that Darksiders II is a the jack-of-all-trades game for me. Truly a joy to play.
Destroying enemies, soaring through the air, running faster than any car in the world would make anyone feel like a super badass. That's exactly how I felt in Prototype 2. Although the game felt an almost exact copy of the first game, it was still refreshing to know that I can destroy whatever I want and do whatever I want without much trouble. New powers and weapons made killing things even feel better. Prototype 2 is like a stress relief toy. After a hard day of work you just want to relax and just blow stuff up. This game is just that.
Guild Wars 2 isn't just a good game. It's a freaking awesome game. It's one of the best MMORPGs I've ever played and after going through Tyria and the grand adventures it offers, it's hard for me to pick up another MMORPG and say something similar or better for it. The combat is engaging and constantly made me aware of how, when, and where to attack forcing me to understand my strengths and weaknesses. The questing system was thrown out the window with Dynamic Events making each area one large theme park, a never-ending joyride. Top this off with the constant support the game has been receiving with its monthly updates and events and it's hard to journey off to other lands when you've got Tyria. Seriously. It's that good.
There are so many other games I played throughout this year but it's impossible for me to go through every single one of them individually. However, by playing these games and just having the opportunity to have thought provoking conversations with my friends is a grand joy. I think it's oftentimes easy to complain and discount the many gems that lie inside a game. When you think about it though, don't you complain because you love something? Games are just that awesome. Here's to this week: celebrating awesome stuff that developers do and anti-nitpicking.

Card is so CUTE!
I love these cards! They are absolutely adorable! And all of my guests that received one gave me such high praises about them. I would definitely recommend this to other brides!!!
Little Too Small
The card is great and our picture looks great. However I didnt realize that it would be so small. I would have gone towards a bigger size card if I were to order again or for anyone out there in search of this design. But overall is was awesome and everybody loved it and in the end thats what matters. Great price and delivery was as promised. This was my first time using Magnet Street and I am glad I did. Its a very cool site.
Look Amazing
The overall look was amazing! I loved that I was able to look through a ton of styles and then personalize it with font, color, and photos. I did order a sample copy of the product before I purchased my save the dates because I was worried that the paper quality wouldn't be the best. The paper was perfect, and the colors were bright and striking! My photo I choose came out well also. It was a little fuzzy but for the small size I had I thought it was great! The best part was they arrived in a structured box that I will now use to hold my wedding information :) I cant wait to order my invitations!

Watching TV while recording with BD-E8300N
by Eldhannas - 1/30/13 11:51 PM
I bought a BD-E8300N yesterday, unpacked and connected it to my LE46C535 TV. After moving the CAM module from the CI slot in the TV to the CI slot in the Blu-Ray and testing a bit, I found out that you can't watch an encrypted channel while recording from another encrypted channel. Being connected to a cable network, just about every digital channel is encrypted, so I have to switch over to the analog channels, using the antenna cable connected directly to the TV. My question is, why can't the BD-E8300, with the latest firmware, do what my HDD PVR decoder did 5 years ago, let me watch one (encrypted) channel while recording another? Is there any way a future firmware update can fix this, as this negates one of the main reasons why I bought it?

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The Boa Lacing system has impressed runners, cyclists, golfers and those in motorsports for years. In the 13/14 season, Atomic is making this technology accessible to cross-country skiers too. The Race Skate especially appeals to ambitious athletes because it combines advantages from which you can benefit in both practice sessions and challenging competitions.
The Race Skate with Boa Lacing sits very precisely and retains its comfortable fit even after hours of stress. This is made possible by integrated threads on the boot upper, which surround your foot evenly and comfortably. The Race Skate is not fixed with a bow but by a rotating wheel on the outer boot, using which you can make the boot narrower or wider. The combination of the exact fit and the carbon-reinforced SNS Pilot Racing outer sole provides optimum transfer of power to the ski.
It is not only athletes who are impressed by the Race Skate, but also experts from professional circles. The best example of this is that at the ISPO 2013, an international trade fair for sports goods, the Atomic Race Skate won the award for the "Cross-Country" category. The jury's verdict was as follows: "Atomic's Boa system is the best lacing system for cross-country skiing boots. Form follows function: the Boa system allows problem-free use in any situation, even in competition."

The mass air flow or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to intermittently stall. It may be necessary for the engine to cool down before it will restart.
2005 Chevrolet Impala Problem Reports
Newest 2005 Chevrolet Impala Problem Reports
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tube which connects the EGR valve to the intake manifold may develop an engine vacuum leak, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate with code P0171 and/or P0174 stored.
The engine may start and stall with the security light flashing. This is commonly caused by a failed passlock sensor which is part of the ignition lock cylinder. A secondary cause could be the ignition switch itself. Worn contacts inside the ignition switch can cause voltage drop issues which can affect the passlock system. Proper diagnoses should be performed before replacing any parts.
if my car is parked on a hill and i have to put it in reverse it does a really hard jolt or a kick. while im driving it does it again around 30 mph and again around 60 mph. sometimes if im at a stop light it kind of jerks as i start to take off.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
The intake manifold gasket can develop external engine oil or coolant leaks. In some cases the failed gasket will leak coolant internally. The manifold gasket will need to be replaced to correct this issue.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
Corrosion may develop at the connection between the ignition coil tower and spark plug wire resulting in an engine misfire. The Ignition coil and spark plug wire should both be replaced to correct this condition.
An engine oil leak may develop from the rear of the engine. This is commonly caused by a failed oil pump drive o-ring seal. The leaking o-ring should be replaced to correct this concern.
The serpentine belt tensioner pulley may wear out. Our technicians tell us that in order to get a new pulley from General Motors you must purchase a complete belt tensioner assembly.
The automatic transmission shifter may fail, or a wire may break near the shifter causing the ignition key to become stuck in the ignition lock cylinder.
The transmission pressure control solenoid may fail causing erratic shifting. Our technicians tell us that partial dis-assembly of the transmission is necessary to replace a failed pressure control solenoid.
The fuel pump may fail causing engine to stall and not restart.
The speedometer or other instrument panel gauge may begin to work erratically at times. Our technicians tell us that the instrument cluster must be sent to a repair facility to correct this fault.
The water pump may develop a coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.

Residents in LaGrange will be able to do something this weekend that people in Washington, D.C. can't do.
The New Harmonies exhibit, sponsored by the Smithsonian, opens Saturday. It will be on display at Legacy Museum on Main from through Dec. 3. The exhibit explores the early traditions of American music. The exhibit has traveled across Georgia and LaGrange is the last stop.
There are several special events associated with the exhibit in October. On Saturday, the grand opening and ribbon cutting will take place at 10 a.m. at Legacy Museum at 136 Main St. Area dignitaries will join Jamil Zainaldin of the Georgia Humanities Council in opening the exhibit. Music will be presented by Annie Pauley, a 5th grader at Franklin Forest Elementary and one of the stars of the LaGrange High Spring Concert in April, 2013. She will be performing "You Are My Sunshine," which was reportedly written by Oliver Hood of Troup County.
Following the ribbon cutting, classic blues, gospel, and folk music will be presented by Lloyd Buchanan, a LaGrange College graduate who has appeared on the David Letterman Show. The public is invited and admission to festivities on the 12th is free.
The same day at Callaway Auditorium at LaGrange College, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, one of the top bluegrass bands in the country, will perform in a concert which will benefit the Troup County Historical Society. Lawson was recently inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame. Tickets to that event are $20 for adults and $15 for students.
On Sunday, Atlanta Sacred Harp singers will return to Long Cane Baptist Church, the site of the first Sacred Harp singing in 1845 for a singing. There will be an introductory lesson followed by two to three hours of singing. The public is invited, but please call 706-884-1828 to reserve a space. Admission is free.
During the month, there are also talks at the LaGrange College Music Department. The LaGrange Symphony Orchestra will have its opening concert on Oct. 15.

NEW BERN — A movie classic comes to the New Bern Civic Theatre stage Friday night for the first of eight performances — "9 to 5 The Musical."
The stage version is adapted from the 20th Century Fox 1980 musical comedy film, based on the book by Patricia Resnick, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. The three leads in the film were Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton.
Dora Bullock, Megan Acruso and Betsy McCandless provide the local re-creations of those roles.
Veteran Derek Jordan directs and Leah Huttlinger is the producer, with musical direction by Deanie Singleton. Tim Maddox, a member of the Lenoir Community College music faculty, will provide piano accompaniment.
The three main female characters control the action, much of which revolves around the boss.
The roles were made famous in the movie by Tomlin as Violet; Parton as Doralee; Fonda as Judy; and Dabney Coleman as Franklin Hart Jr., the boss.
Acurso, as Violet, is making her second Civic appearance, last appearing in "RENT." Performing since she was a child, she's been in shows such as "Oliver," "The Music Man," "West Side Story," "Pirates of Penzance," "HAIR" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
McCandless, as Doralee, is a counselor for Craven County Schools. Her favorite roles include Frenchy in two Civic productions of "Grease" and as Olive Ostrovsky in RiverTowne Players production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."
Bullock, as Judy, is a real-life Marine wife and mother of two. This is her third production at Civic. She was born and raised in Charleston, S.C., and attended the Charleston County School of the Arts, choreographing and playing roles such as Bombalurina in "Cats" and Maria in "West Side Story."
She also performed dinner theater as Liesl in "The Sound of Music." For Civic, she was Joann in "RENT" and was in "Bring on the Jazz." She also works as a Zumba instructor.
Jim Chittick plays the lovable Franklin Hart Jr. His previous works include "Guys and Dolls," "Little Shop of Horrors," "California Suite," "The Nutcracker," "Don't Dress for Dinner," "On Golden Pond," "Carousel," "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

Stanford University Center for Integrated Facilities Engineering (CIFE)
As part of Stanford University's Center for Integrated Facilities Engineering, we research policy and engineering responses to climate-change impacts on seaports. We focus on complexities and strategies of planning for future impacts of sea-level rise and changing storm intensities on coastal infrastructure. In particular, we have been pursing four major themes:
1. Development of an estimate for the global construction's capacity to respond to sea-level rise;
2. A global survey of ports authority perceptions around adaption;
3. Decision support systems to model and understand impacts and adaptation strategies on a local level;
4. Case studies of seaport decision-making systems.
Organizations, institutions and private sector companies at all levels and in a wide range of sectors can become engaged with the NWP by becoming a partner and making Action Pledges. Information about how organizations can become engaged with work on adaptation under the NWP can be found here.

Welcome to the
Department of Anthropology
Anthropology at Binghamton University Defined
Anthropology studies human populations and cultures in comparative, historical and evolutionary frameworks. The curriculum promotes understanding of the variety of past and present human groups, the cultures and societies people create, the processes that animate cultural production and social life, and the processes that underlie human biological development and change. Students learn and apply the research methods and theoretical constructs used by anthropologists to investigate peoples and their social worlds. Excavating and analyzing the remains of past cultures, observing human and non-human primate behavior, examining global social and cultural changes, and exploring the biocultural and biomedical processes that define humans are but a few of the approaches anthropologists use to investigate the human way of life.
A general statement about the field of anthropology is that it seeks to understand the forms and processes of social and cultural production, and the nature and origins of human biological variability through systematic exploration and scientific examination of human groups and their artifacts and life ways, past and present. Anthropology's traditional emphasis is on the study of small-scale societies, but recent practical and theoretical concerns have broadened the scope of anthropological research to include the entire range of ethnically complex and globally interdependent societies of the world. Ecological, physiological, psychological, historical, economic, artistic, technological and political phenomena all fall within the current purview of anthropology. The discipline thus draws freely on various fields of study in the humanities and natural sciences, as well as in the various social sciences, in its exploration of the patterns of human social life and adaptation.
There are four traditionally recognized subfields of the discipline: archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology and sociocultural anthropology. Binghamton University's faculty represent quite well these four subfields, and this coverage is key to the training of our students.
