Regan Smith wins the 22nd Annual Alliance Truck Parts 250, his third victory in 116 NASCAR Nationwide Series races.
In morning practice it was reported on Fox Sports 1 that Erik Jones has been fitted for a seat in the No. 18 as a precautionary measure in case Kyle Busch fails to complete the distance for fatigue or pain.
In his first attempt in the No. 55 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota, David Ragan qualified seventh for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The last time he qualified that well on this track was in 2011 while driving for Roush-Fenway Racing and he finished second after starting eighth.
Jamie McMurray should be watched closely on Saturday to evaluate whether he has top-five potential. Last year he swept that spot at Charlotte Motor Speedway after starting 26th in May and 18th in October.
Chase Elliott will make his third NASCAR Cup start at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend in the Coca-Cola 600. He qualified easily on time in 28th.
Sam Hornish Jr. qualified 26th for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which has been about average for the No. 9 this year. His last four qualification attempts on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks have been either 26th or 29th.
Jeff Gordon knows it will be difficult to match the feeling he gets racing after this season, but broadcasting could provide something close to it.
Sprint Cup regular Austin Dillon has the best 10-lap consecutive average speed in the XFINITY Series final practice for the Hisense 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Ty Dillon tops the speed chart in the Final Practice session for the XFINITY Series Hisense 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Darrell Wallace Jr. leads the first practice session for the XFINITY Series Hisense 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Michael McDowell will make his second start in as many weeks after posting the 25th fastest time in qualification for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Jeb Burton, Mike Bliss, Travis Kvapil, Brendan Gaughan, and Jeff Green failed to find enough speed to make the Coca-Cola 600 and will have to watch from the pits Sunday night.

Lose Weight, Feel Good this Summer With Weight Watchers at WorkPosted June 11, 2012
Kent State offers a year-round Weight Watchers at Work program to faculty, staff and students on all campuses and community locations. Earlier this year, Weight Watchers introduced a new monthly pass program that includes the Points Plus program and e-tools, to make losing weight easier while still enjoying many of the foods you like to eat.
The new program allows members the flexibility and convenience to attend a Weight Watchers at Work meeting or a meeting in their community. Members can also download the Weight Watchers mobile application on their smart phones at no charge.
The Weight Watchers at Work program is currently offered on the Kent Campus on Tuesdays at noon in the Kent Student Center. Weight Watchers will host an open house to offer more information about the program on Tuesday, June 12, at noon in Room 313 of the Kent Student Center. With the new payment offerings, the At Work sessions run continually, with no end date. However, a minimum of 20 members must be enrolled for each class session.
An incentive program is also available for employees who have medical coverage through Medical Mutual of Ohio and sign up for the monthly pass program. Members are eligible for a maximum reimbursement of $150 per calendar year. There is no reimbursement for the online program.
If you want more information about the Weight Watchers at Work program, but can't attend the June 12 Open House, visit www.kent.edu/hr/benefits/weight-watchers.cfm. You can also contact Marlo Kibler at 330-672-8320 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

2.6.0-test5 kernel and 4496 patched driver install problems
View Single Post
Registered User
Join Date: Feb 2003
Posts: 73
the confusing instructions
OK. Let's start from the top: the top section is entitled: NVIDIA 1.0-4496 Linux x86 Driver Patches which is what I should be using. Everything reads OK, I get down to the download section and I see
Confusing: what is pkg0 ? The current download from nvidia is pkg2. I don't even have a pkg0 anywhere on my system.
So, I download anyway. I untar, and I see a .manfest and a nvidia-installer. The only thing in the .tar.gz file.
Confusing: Does this mean I am supposed to copy these files over to the stuff that is --extracted-only from the pkg2 file ? I tried this, but maybe this is what caused things to fail when compiled ?
Confusing: Now we get down another level to the part that actually works; that is, the patches dated 9/5/03. They are listed as applicable to the
(2.6.0-test4) kernel. But, they also work for the new kernel -test5. I know this by installing it and trying it not by the instructions in the README.
I am not trying to be harsh at all. I am very grateful for these patches becuase they WORK !
I am just saying in order to get them to work, I can;t just follow the instructions, I have to get help from somewhere else like here, or get lucky on my own !

Isreal Draft
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's defense minister has instructed the military to start drafting ultra-Orthodox Jewish men as it does other Israelis, setting up a potential clash over an issue that has divided the country for decades.
Ehud Barak gave defense officials a month to craft a plan to put it into practice, trying to buy time in a last-ditch effort to find an agreed solution. His order came just hours before the expiration of a law that has granted tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews exemptions from military duty and followed a Supreme Court ruling against extending that arrangement.
Some ultra-Orthodox activists vowed immediately after the decision that members of their community would go to jail rather than cut short their religious studies to serve, while others sounded skeptical that Barak would enforce the law. Defense officials say privately that the military is not prepared to immediately absorb tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox men.

Type 1 collagen culture effects on TGF-β1 induced α-smooth muscle actin levels and β-catenin accumulation in DD and PF-cells. Representative western immunoblot analysis of PF and DD cells cultured on tissue culture plastic ("Plastic") or type 1 collagen ("Collagen"), treated with TGFβ-1 or vehicle and assessed for α smooth muscle actin (A) and β-catenin (B) protein levels. β-actin levels (C) were assessed to confirm equal loading. Pooled densitometric analysis of α smooth muscle actin (D) and β-catenin (E) band density normalized to β-actin band density from triplicate experiments are shown. A significant increase in β-catenin band density after TGFβ-1 treatment of DD cells cultured on collagen (*, p < 0.05) is evident relative to treated cells on plastic while the significant increase in α smooth muscle actin band density after TGFβ-1 treatment of DD cells growing on plastic (*, p < 0.05) is attenuated by collagen culture.

On December 5, 2013, a cross-party group of Japanese law makers submitted a draft bill (the "Integrated Resort Promotion Bill") aiming to, among other things, legalize casino gambling. With many now expecting it to pass into law later this year, interest and speculation from the domestic and international community continues to grow as to what the regulatory landscape accompanying this long awaited liberalization will entail.
In this update, we briefly discuss the contents of the Integrated Resort Promotion Bill and key legal issues of interest moving forward for operators, private equity, financial institutions and real estate and construction companies, among others.

Stockton Lake Inn and Holiday Inn: Stockton's Best Kept Secret
Spoil yourself and relax with out over paying to stay at the higher priced places. Just 5 minutes from the boat dock, and close to the beautiful lake, you'll love the cozy rooms and great staff.
With pool, cable t.v., ice, fridge, and the cleanest rooms in town, it's worth staying in the room all day.

I like the paint job they did...
I like the paint job they did on our pool at the Holliday Motel, don't you? The hotel office is just beyond the pool and you can see it through the fence. The Holliday Motel and Lake Stockton Inn are so close together that it is more efficient to run both hotels from one office here. Holliday Motel is another hotel I am part owner of and I won't tell you how great it is. I have an obvious bias about how nice the rooms are. I won't tell you about all the flowers my friend Tim has planted or how his wife Karlene helped decorate the rooms. I'll try very hard not to mention the AAA rating because as an owner I can't give an honest opinion.
The hotel has picnic area out side and there is an RV park behind the hotel. Places for campers at Stockton Lake also but they don't have cable television and a swimming pool nearby. I know this sounds like an advertisement for the hotel when I mention the free coffee and air conditioning. I am proud of the hotels and I hope you will consider staying there some time.

Don't be surprised if you call...
Don't be surprised if you call the Lake Stockton Inn and I answer the phone. I am part owner and work there some times as manager. If I am not there ask for Tim and tell him you know me. I won't tell you how great the hotel is because I am obviously biased.
Call around and compare prices. You will find that this is one of the most reasonable priced hotels in the area. Don't just take my word for it.
In room coffee, refrigerators, kitchenettes, and boat plug ins for fishermen and boaters.

In general we use biometrics in computer applications say for authentication. Lets get 2 examples finger prints and facial recognition.
In those cases how we keep the information for comparison. As an example we can't keep a image and process it every time. So what are the methodologies we use to store/determine the similarity in such cases? Are there any special algorithms that designed for that purposes.? (Ex : To return a approximately equal value for a finger print of a certain person every time)

Ni'il: The War Within
by James Boyle
You had to be there.....
The buzzing in my ear,
I hear it loud and clear,
Do you not my dear,
You must be deaf I fear.
Just a short summation, and an explanation, to a mysterious sensation, here goes….
And then after a hard days labour, I finally sat down for a minute, just beneath my favourite spot, right close to the atelier, as I call it, sort of cornerwise, where I can see most anything of importance.
I sort of drifted off for a minute, and in the midst of silence, I hear this drone, a deep heavy whirring sound, sort of like the helicopters at the near airport.
As I follow the sound upwards, to the gable of the garage, (atelier) I was certain the highest decibels emanated from there.
Strange I thought I see nothing there, but the black plastic birdhouse I had put there ten years ago. It hadn't been occupied for a while, actually it was the first year it remained empty of a brood of the usual sparrows. Again more carefully I looked, I see nothing, but still only hear the sound.
I now focus on possibilities, concerned about this undefined noise, was it something mechanical that was in labour of breaking down, but I thought there is nothing up there, except for the single light and an old radio to annoy the noisy neighbours. Gad I thought what the hell.
My imagination spurred my fear of something amiss, an overheating motor, some sort of fan, did I forget something, and I best check this out real close. First I shut of all running things I could think of, the circulating water pump in the bird bath, (Roman bath) the koi won't mind for a minute, the fan in the studio, (atelier) in short all little running things that were.
No fan, no noise from any in-house contraptions the fountain quiet, still I hear this loud drone.
What have I missed, perplexed by all this, I relent and drag the stepladder up from the woodshed, thinking all the while as best I could which at my age can become a shore in itself, we'll see I thought, I place the ladder.
Weary of the task ahead, and before I would climb up there, one more last thing, I called Grace, my wife, that is.
You hear anything I said, yes she says the neighbours lawnmower, no I said, listen, right up there, near the gable, No she says there is nothing, just the mower next door. I always use her fine attuned senses, when it comes to smell, sound, or taste, for mine have somewhat diminished over the years, this usually eases my concerns over some things I can't readily identify. But hell what now, the sound was still there; at least I was hearing it. I made the effort to climb a bit unsteady, but I now wanted to know I wasn't dreaming all this, (and to prove her wrong of course).
Now just before all this, as it was, I had a good glass of the best Madeira, that had barely settled in my bones, precipitated this all was of spiritual yearning and an inquisitive altercation between mind and soul. Actually the fact was I lacked transportation to get some wine for the wife, and this old forgotten half full demijohn, easily presented a solution.
Being that it was there forgotten for seven years, God knows what if anything had brewed over all this time, and not wanting to poison the wife, I tried it first.
The broken cork came off easy enough, one finger in the opening the other hand holding a large glass, soon enough I see the golden liquid pouring out. Yes it was golden amber, no not red as when it was first made this long ago, the sun and cold had done it's job, it had oxidized I think, now a first ginger sip, and viola, another deeper nip, a whiff, another sip, my I thought this is great stuff, the senses kicked into overdrive, wow, another sip, two more, I held it the glass to the sun, what inviting colour, toasting the big orb, I yelled, Grace you have to try this, come on out, a real connoisseur the wife, ( a wino), now she would put her all into it, a smile, I'll have some of this she said. That's not the stuff you made seven years ago, the long forgotten demijohn, sure I said, it is. Never mind going to the store, this is better than the cheap sherry they sell, you bet I said, this is Sherry they make like in Portugal, $30.00 a bottle. A bit later after the third glass I think, all this buzzing, Grace was happy sipping in her room, watching TV.
Now then where were we, I was up the ladder, a bit unsteady, sort of between heaven and earth, sort of in mid flight I thought. One more step, one more and I'll see, I'll be there, and speaking of flight, wings I see, tiny wings, with an amber undercarriage, like that glass of sherry down there. I couldn't believe it, there is a four prop job running full gear, giving it all it's got, nearly supersonic. Grace I yelled, you turkey, come here and see the lawnmower, have a look o deaf one.
I have to admit this creature a bumblebee, of the sort I admired, this creature sitting there at the birdhouse entrance, on a bit of old birds nests leftovers, this tiny little thing, was beating it's wings with all it had, the buzzing sound, the entrance, like a guitar opening, amplified its sound.
I couldn't help it of course I had to give Grace a hard time, look here I said, the lawnmower sound, come on up and see, what is it, a little bumblebee, with a twinge of satisfaction I pointed.
You are nuts, and she tippled back to her room, she doesn't like to be wrong. I sort of satisfied to have solved the problem, scratched my head, and mused, of all things to be had by a bumblebee. Being safe in my chair again, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, this bit of detective work deserves a reward, and so another glass of sherry passed my lips, and being now totally relaxed, a state where I do my best thinking, a penny finally dropped, no I thought, it's not calling its mate, it's beating its wings furiously to keep the place cool for it's brut, I need to mention it was 29 degrees, a hot and humid day.
Such effort, such attentive parenting, wow I loved this sweet creature even more now, between it, and the love of bumblebees, my heart looked to helping it somehow, but what could I possibly do, a flash of Aha, a drill and 3/8 drill bit,
an unsteady flight up the ladder and a couple of holes here and there, soon the box would cool down and be downright breezy.
Now little fella, I talked to it, this should cool you down, shouldn't it.
Now, did I ever tell of the time, I build a pond for some injured lonesome damselfly I had picked off the sidewalk, na, I didn't did I? Well for good reason, they got this Royal Sanatorium down the street; we do not want to make them nosy, do we? Besides, I needs to sip the rest of that golden amber liquid, before the sun sets, there is also a buzzing closer to home, sort of an inside track playing, and it's getting louder by the minute, I am going to have to lay down a while me thinks. Love ya all!

Lawsuit threat halts infrastructure bond
"It's OK if you have a vote and the voters say 'yes,' but the terms of repayment should correspond with the longevity of the improvement," he said.
Meanwhile, the city last did find about $18 million for lighting, sidewalks and perhaps a new fire station in Skyline. A plan that needs final City Council approval would take 60 percent of annual federal community development block grant money that flows to the city over the next five years to help pay for that work.
Historically, San Diego has used about 40 percent of allocation for the projects, giving the remainder to nonprofit groups.
Under the plan that won approval from the council's Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee, those percentages would switch with the city taking the larger slice.

Solar / Thermal Testing Curiosity Rover
August 6, 2012
This image shows preparation for March 2011 testing of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, in a 25-foot-diameter (7.6-meter-diameter) space-simulation chamber. The testing was designed to put the rover through operational sequences in environmental conditions similar to what it will experience on the surface of Mars. In this March 8, 2011, image, Curiosity is fully assembled with all primary flight hardware and instruments. The test chamber's door is still open. After the door is closed, a near-vacuum environment can be established, and the chamber walls flooded with liquid nitrogen for chilling to minus 130 degrees Celsius (minus 202 degrees Fahrenheit). A bank of powerful lamps simulates sunshine on Mars. The technician in the picture is using a wand to map the solar simulation intensities at different locations in the chamber just prior to the start of the testing. The simulation chamber is at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Food Preparation Certificate Programs with Course Information
Find out about the common courses taught in a food preparation certificate program. Read about where these programs are available, entry-level career paths and salary information.
Essential Information
A food preparation certificate program can prepare an individual to work under the supervision of a chef in a restaurant or private home. Those enrolled in a food preparation or food handler's certificate program, which are widely available and take one year or less to finish, learn how to safely and effectively prepare a variety of meals. Admissions requirements vary by school and can range from simply a high school diploma to food handling experience.
Food Preparation Certificate
Most food preparation certificate programs are offered through community colleges, trade schools or food safety organizations. Such programs typically take between a semester and a year to complete, although accelerated programs exist for experienced chefs who are simply looking for a quick credential in food preparation.
Some 4-year universities offer food preparation certificate programs as part of larger degree programs in restaurant management, culinary arts, or family and consumer science. A food preparation certificate program is not the same as a traditional culinary program, and does not focus on baking or creating recipes.
Education Prerequisites
For many 2-year colleges and trade schools, students need typically only prove that they graduated from high school or earned a GED in order to enroll. Universities and other 4-year schools generally have more stringent prerequisites, such as the satisfactory standardized test scores. Some food preparation and food handler certificate programs accept only those students who have gained some kitchen experience, while others are open to beginners in the culinary world.
Program Coursework
While enrolled in a food preparation certificate program, students must complete courses that teach them how to properly handle, prepare and store items such as meats, vegetables, fruits and dried foods. Other courses teach students the regulations behind cleaning and sanitizing kitchens and tools, keeping work surfaces and countertops clean, properly cutting food, and preparing simple meals, such as salads.
Students enrolled in a certificate program in food preparation learn how to stay safe in a commercial or industrial kitchen. They also learn the basics of food safety and sanitation. Some course topics addressed in such a program are listed below:
- Food preparation
- Food purchasing
- Sanitation guidelines
- Kitchen safety
- Quantity and quality in food preparation
- Introduction to foodservice
- Restaurant internship
- Cost control operations
- Food storage and care
- Cold food preparation
Popular Career Options
A few careers are available for individuals who have completed a certificate program in food preparation. Most are entry-level, but do leave some room for advancement. Some examples include:
- Prep chef
- Food handler
- Chef de cuisine
- Kitchen manager
- Personal chef
- Organizational cook
- Restaurant manager
- Line cook
- Assistant chef
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated there were 813,700 food preparation workers in 2010. That figure was projected to increase by 10% from 2010-2020. The mean wages for food preparation workers were $20,910 in May 2012. Those working as chefs and head cooks were projected to see little or no change from 2010-2020, stated the BLS. The mean wages for chefs and head cooks were $46,570 in May 2012.

I saw Dr. Holland for sciatic pain in early 2009. He acurately diagnosed my pain and referred me to the best neurosurgeon in Little Rock. Actually the neurosurgeon he referred me to is top rated in the nation. He treated me with compassion and spent ample time understanding my concerns. He treated me with respect and kindness. Only great things to say about this doc.
Dr. Holland is the BEST DOCTOR I have ever experenced! His bedside manner, his expertise. his way of making a patient feel so comfortable and at HOME. You will never meet another doctor like him.! He is authentic and makes you feel as though you have known him forever. You are LUCKY if you get to experence this kind of care in this day and age. 5-5-14. He has been my doctor for 25 years.! He is rated at the top1
We are sisters and both agree with our opinions of Dr Jay Holland. We wish that everyone could experience a doctor like him. He has never let us down. He is always right on with his diagnosis and treatments. Whoever stated that he will give you any meds you want is way off. He would never do that. He has been my doctor for 20 years and has never left us high and dry when treating us. He is a perfectionist in treating his patients and that is why he spends time with each and every one of them. Most of the time I am seen in a timely matter, but there have been a few times that I have had to wait an hour (after all I have been with him for 20 yrs) b/c he loves his patients enough to listen to them. He has NEVER misdiagnosed me, my sister, my husband, my parents, my children or friends. I wish there were more doctors like him. If you know of one let me know......he has a lot of patients and may need help with his brand of patient care.
I have been conditioned to seeing Dr's that get you in & out. You're nothing but a number. Dr. Holland makes every patient feel special. His knowledge of the medical field is mind-blowing. To top it of, he has a great front desk staff & the sweetest nurse. I tell everyone I know to use him. I've never met a Dr. That takes his patient care so seriously,
If you are ill and want a doctor with the knowledge to know what is wrong and how to treat you, Dr Jay Holland should be your doctor. I have been his patient for over 20 years and he has never let me down. I have had several different medical problems and he has always been accurate in his diagnoses. I referred my father, mother, sister,and friends to him and they were never dissappointed. I cannot say enough good things about him. S. Toland, N.L.R.
Dr. Holland is happy to write most anything you want. Then when you ask to help get off the medication, he doesn't want to admit he has any part. It's very sad when you are in true pain, depression and have anxiety - things get better and the patient gets stuck with the addiction. Beware of this before allowing his staff to treat you.
I saw Dr. Holland with a scheduled appointment at 11:15 and walked out of there at 2:30. His nurse was the one "who got to know me" while he talked with the pharmaceutical reps. I had an appointment with HIM mind you, not his nurse. When he did come in, he just made small chat and stayed around 3 minutes, not even looking at the notes she took - it was all a formality. It was $300 for that appointment! The building he is in is a very small, old home with nothing modern and lab work has to be sent off. If you have an UTI, you won't know about it for 2-4 days if you get it on Friday. This is ridiculous, because the infection makes you feel miserable and could be serious. Furthermore, I had to leave confidential information about myself with his receptionist because his nurse practicioner doesn't have a voice mail! I was greatly dissatisfied, left frustrated, and felt insignificant. Had no choice in seeing him though, the hospital mandated he be the one to follow me through my surgery. Oh, lucky me.
Dr. Holland and his staff are the most caring and loving people you will ever have the pleasure to take care of you. Susie is awesome and the rest are just fabulous. You're not just another number it's like you're family.
Wonderful and caring physician.Well respected and admired in the medical community as well as in the patient population.Willing to spend the extra time needed to explain to patients their diagnosis, test results and medications.

Saturn's tiny moon Pan orbits in the middle of the Encke Gap of the planet's A ring in this image from the Cassini spacecraft. Pan (17 miles, or 28 kilometers across) is visible as a bright dot in the gap near the center of this view. See PIA12604 to see Pan casting a long shadow around the time of Saturn's August 2009 equinox. The wide Roche Division separates the A ring from the thin F ring in the lower left quarter of the view. This view looks toward the southern, unilluminated side of the rings from about 20 degrees below the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 25, 2012. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.2 million miles (2 million kilometers) from Pan. Image scale is 7 miles (12 kilometers) per pixel. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Sid Lucero hopes baby takes after mom
If actor Sid Lucero had his way, his firstborn would follow in the footsteps of the mom, musician Bea Lao, and not become an actor like himself.
Sid is also convinced that it's going to be a girl. "The doctor is 90 percent sure," he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer at the recent launch of his latest TV series, "Love and Lies," on GMA 7.
"There are less intrigues in the music scene," he said, "and more real people. But I will not force her into it." As for his parenting style, he admitted: "I'm afraid that, with me, she'll be super-spoiled. I also feel I'm going to be a stage dad."
Bea, drummer of the all-girl band General Luna, is five months along. Sid said she wanted to name the baby Halo, "whether it's a boy or a girl. We're thinking of a second name, maybe Eve, after my sister."
The 32-year-old actor added, however: "Nothing is sure until it comes out. Baka lalaki naman pala. It really doesn't matter to me, basta healthy."
Back to work
Sid recently resumed TV work after a six-month break. "I was so tired—it's the only way to describe what happened," he said. "I was in three projects at the same time."
The actor denied the rumor that he developed an attitude problem while working on the Kapuso series "Amaya." He also denied reports that he was on drugs.
"That was a long time ago, in high school. I've had enough of it," he insisted. "You just need to take a break every now and then. You work hard, you get burned out. Next thing you know, you're taking it out on your job and on the wrong people. I simply took a step back."
He said he learned a lot from his breakup with Bea last year. They reconciled shortly after. He explained, "I used to drop everything when I had love problems. I couldn't function. Having a child would be the best reason to keep me on track."
While on a break, Sid managed to do an indie movie, "Parol," with director Lav Diaz. "I was with him in Ilocos for two weeks," Sid said, "although the break was really for me to take it easy. It was also then that I learned Bea was pregnant. So when I was home, I just watched movies, read and took care of her. She didn't stop playing; I just became the guy in the house."
"Love and Lies" airs weekdays on GMA 7's "Telebabad" primetime block.

This was a great little patch that made it very clear and consistent how to add CSS files in Drupal. In 4.7, adding CSS files was a bit of a mystery, as I outlined in a previous Lullabot article. Now, starting with 5.0, it's very easy: drupal_add_css($cssFile, $type = 'module'). That's it. Just specify the type of CSS file, core, module, or theme, and this function will handle the rest, loading them in a correct and consistent cascading order."

Johnny Cathcart, a graduate of Central High School produced the documentary for his thesis project at N.Y.U.
The film called "Starting On The Right Foot", tells the story of a 26-year-old girl who lost her leg to cancer, but overcame the odds to make it to the Paralympic Trials.
Heartland says sharing the film helps spread the word about beating cancer.
"It was an opportunity that we saw that we could bring together our cancer center," said Barbie Squires, Chief Development Officer for Heartland. "And really just to get together and celebrate cancer survivorship."
Cathcart held a question and answer session for guests.
Oncologists from Heartland also provided information on the treatments they provide to the region.

"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God what is God's" (Matthew 22). For Christians 2000 years ago and today, differentiating between what is God's and what is Caesar's has not always been easy. During the Middle Ages, the Pope claimed that all was God's and that the state must act within the dictates of the Church. Today, you will find people, including some religious people, who claim that all belongs to Caesar and God should not enter into any political considerations. Many of the proponents of this view take the separation of church and state literally by erecting a high wall that prevents any religious belief from entering the public square. However, they fail to realize that by passing legislation that restricts or regulates religious activity they breach the wall they claim to support.
Even if we could prevent the state from imposing
upon the church or vice versa, we still could not eliminate religion from our
public discussions. For many people, their
faith is at the core of who they are. As
such, their religious beliefs guide their political beliefs. Evangelicals' belief that a fetus is a human
life leads them to oppose abortion. Jews
who want to protect their religious heritage oppose prayer in school because
they believe the state is denigrating their religion. African Americans believe that the God who
brought the Israelites out of bondage in
If religion inevitably plays a role in domestic and
international politics, what role exactly should religion play? What are the problems associated with full
engagement or complete withdrawal or some place in between? These are some of the questions that will
guide us over the coming semester. We
begin by examining the role that religion plays in the public square looking at
how religion's role in politics has evolved over the past millenia. Next, we examine the political behavior of
religious groups in
Let me begin by discussing what this class is and is not. This class is not a class about theology. It is a class about politics but with an emphasis on how religion affects politics. As such, we will discuss theology but not in the context of who is right and who is wrong. Following the Baptist tradition, that is an issue between God and you. Instead, we will discuss how theology has influenced and continues to influence politicians, citizens, and political theorists.
This class will follow a seminar format. What this means is that I will not lecture or I will do it rarely. Instead, I will provide the topics and some overarching themes, but it is up to you to provide the discussion. In this discussion format, I am a facilitator as you and your colleagues grapple with important issues, challenge many of your existing beliefs, and improve your critical thinking and communication skills as you parry and thrust with your colleagues. However, this class will only work if you come to class prepared each day.
The readings for this class come from three books and many reserve readings available in the library. The three books available at the Lifeway Bookstore are:
Michael. 1981. The Great Political Theories, Vol. 1.
Huntington, Samuel P. 1996. The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order. NY: Touchstone.
Kenneth D. 2003. Religion and Politics in the
Grading. Your grade for this course is determined from three exams, a paper, and your in-class participation. As a 400 level course, all exams are essay and each of the three exams is worth 20% of your grade. There are no make-up exams so if you miss the first exam, the final counts twice.
While I have high expectations, I reserve the right to curve grades to your benefit. In addition, what is important is what you know at the end of the semester and not at the beginning. Therefore, if a student makes substantial improvement over the course of the semester, the student's grade is based on his or her work at the end of the semester (e.g., D on first test but A on last test and active participation and positive contribution to simulation, A for the course).
After exams are returned, you must wait 24 hours before discussing the exam with me. This serves as both a cooling off period and as a time for you to reflect upon the exam and what you may have done wrong. We will then sit down and discuss any problems you may have had with the exam, how we can correct this, and how you can improve over the course of the semester. If I make a mistake, I will rectify that but I do not engage in point grubbing. Finally, when and/or if I curve test or final grades, I reserve the right to withhold the curve from students who never attend class.
Paper. The paper for this class requires students to do a social/political analysis of a church, synagogue, or mosque. In this paper, you will engage in participation observation, primary document analysis, Web page analysis, and outside research to discuss the role of politics in the religious group that you visit. More detailed information will be provided later. The paper is worth 30% of the grade and is due on April 7 though we will begin our discussions on April 5. Students must receive my approval for your church by February 10.
In writing your paper(s), please write in a clear and organized fashion. Be sure to include a thesis, topic sentences, introduction, conclusion, etc. While this is not a grammar course, an integral part of communication is good grammar. As such, I will stop reading any paper that has not been spell checked or grammar checked (it is usually easy to tell) and assign that paper an F. Since the paper requires some outside research, proper citations are required and rules against plagiarism are enforced. For more information, please check out my Writing Guide at www.uu.edu/personal/sevans/wrtngguide.htm.
Participation. I expect all of you to participate in class. This is a small class so if you neither read and nor participate, it will be obvious. While quality is usually more important than quantity, the small size of this class makes both equally important. Moreover, an important component of a liberal art education is your ability to synthesize and present material to others and this tests this. Finally, you increase your ability to participate by reading and bringing the relevant reserve readings and textbook to class. I do however expect that you treat all members of the class, including any special speakers that may come, the courtesy that you would like exhibited toward you.
Class participation is worth 10% of your grade. In assessing participation, students who attend class but do not participate earn a D in participation. Those who show they read but show a superficial understanding receive a C. Those who read and show they understand the material in discussions receive a B for participation and those who excel by showing a thorough understanding of readings and an ability to connect concepts across lectures, readings, and discussions receive an A for participation.
Cheating. Don't do it. Anyone caught cheating will receive an automatic F for the course and will be referred to the appropriate authorities for punishment.
Extracurricular. Students are expected to attend special political science events this semester.
Special Needs. If you have any special needs that will affect your ability to learn in this class, please inform me and I will take the appropriate steps to help you.
The Syllabus. I reserve the right and prerogative to modify the syllabus in accordance with student needs. The syllabus should not be construed as a contract.

No gimmicks necessary with right mix of artists
If only our neighborhood istambays could sing—and were as delightfully silly as Noel Cabangon and Aiza Seguerra—we wouldn't mind losing sleep, putting up with their rowdy laughter and drunken chatter at night. We might even join them for a swig or two.
There were no bottles of beer or plates of nuts and chicharon during last Friday's "Tambayan Hits: Balikan ang Barkada" concert at Onstage, Greenbelt 1. But we might as well be in front of a sari-sari store, drunk on Noel and Aiza's intoxicating musicality.
All favorites
Featuring songs often played in street jam sessions with friends, the concert opened with a drawn out, sweeping instrumental mashup of the duo's hits—"Kanlungan," "Akala Mo," "Tatsulok," "Pagdating ng Panahon." Then the two artists, in simple T-shirts and jeans, took to the stage, settled on wooden benches, and brought the house down with "Alapaap" flourished with percussive folk beats.
As they sang one fan favorite after another—"Dito sa Kanto," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Kayod Kabayo, Kayod Barya," "You've Got a Friend"—Noel and Aiza would engage in funny, exchanges, the latter poking fun at the senior musician's age every chance she gets. They reminisced about their own tambayan days.
Aiza: "Iba ang kuwentuhan 'pag may inuman kasi nawawala ang inhibitions mo…mas nakakapag-share ka ng sakit sa puso, o kung may gusto kang tao…"
Noel: "Parang 'yung kapitbahay namin—'yung anak ni Aling Pitang na may pansitan. Araw-araw tuloy doon ako kumakain!"
Top form
The two regaled the packed crowd with songs that brimmed with emotions, whether of triumph or loss, defiance or heartbreak.
Aiza, who has one of the most heart-wrenchingly delicate voices in the local music industry, tackled unrequited love in "Pakisabi na Lang." Her other standout numbers were "Ano'ng Nangyari sa Ating Dalawa," "With a Smile" and "Kiss from a Rose."
Noel was in top form as well, lending no-frills, soul-stirring vocals, and crisp guitar-playing to the songs "Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling Ka," "Pumapatak ang Ulan" and "Akala Mo." For
this OPM champ, it's never too late to celebrate Independence Day. He gave forceful renditions of "Tayo'y mga Pinoy" and "Tatsulok."
Among the duets, their take on Joey Ayala's poignant "Walang Hanggang Paalam" left the most lasting impression. They sang as one, sending waves of melancholia and hope, Aiza caressed each line.
Before ending the night with "Kanlungan," "Pagdating ng Panahon" and a pounding cover of "Come Together," Noel and Aiza plucked out unsuspecting fellow artists Juris, Ogie Alcasid, Charice, Bayang Barrios and Nyoy Volante from the crowd to jam with them onstage—as in a real tambayan.
Small guys
Ogie cracked up the audience as he voiced out what everyone had been thinking: "Lahat tayo dito maliliit!" The guest artists' willingness to participate, much to the crowd's amusement, was rewarded with packs of junk food from a makeshift store at the back.
The show—directed by Mike Villegas—brought new meaning to the old phrase, "Less is more." It proved that a production could do away with gimmicks and fancy stage design, with artists who are sincere, spontaneous and genuinely skilled.

Customer Reviews
Long time listener, love app
I use this app every day and have for a long time. It's reliable, easy to use, customizable and diverse. Tons of podcasts that are regularly updated. Plus it's free. Definitely could use improvement but what app couldn't. They've made changes along the way and it keeps getting better. I bet it will continue to get better. I recently tried out apples version and it looks like it was built by engineers. It's awful. Stitcher is definitely more pleasing to the eye but you could use some cooler features. Hopefully they're working on that now. Anyway I will continue to use it and I think it's the best podcast app. I never use the car feature but I can see how people would like that. Mostly I've created my own folders and I also listen to the lesson later folder a lot.
It's meh, moving on
I have used Stitcher for years, and I'm just fed up with the difficulty I have been finding individual past episodes and in rearranging the order of the episodes. I often save a number of episodes in a podcast and listen to them on long trips; the fun begins when I want to view them all and I have to tap and tap and tap to try to find where Stitcher has hidden past episodes this time. It is also not easy and not intuitive to shift the order of podcasts when you add new ones. Apple's own Podcast app is better, and I have high hopes for Downcast. I think Stitcher's day has passed.
Front Page loading issues
I love this app, but there have been issues updating my "front page" for several days. I am still able to check for new episodes by going to each of my playlists or checking a shows page directly, but that is a pain when the front page is usually so convenient. Have tried force closing the app as well as reinstalling with no luck. Hopefully this gets fixed very soon.

The location-aware Grindr app enables gay men to meet other gay men who may be just metres away, making use of their smartphone's Global Positioning System (GPS). It had about 100,000 Australian users as of August last year and more than one million users worldwide.
Now a hacker has pushed the app developer into a security crisis that has left its users seriously vulnerable considering the vast amounts of private information traded through the app – in many cases naked photos.
The hacker discovered a way to log in as another user, impersonate that user, chat and send photos on their behalf.
The vulnerabilities are also present in Blendr, the straight version of the app, according to a security expert who said both apps had "no real security" and were "poorly designed". Fairfax Media is not aware that Blendr has been hacked but the potential was there, according to the security expert.
The founder of the apps, Joel Simkhai, conceded both were vulnerable and he was rushing to release a patch to address the issues. He said he had originally been waiting until new architecture was built "within weeks" but was now releasing an update to both apps "over the next few days".
In a telephone interview about the vulnerabilities last Friday he said it was news to him about the potential for text chats to be monitored and claimed the company had never experienced a "major breach" in which a large portion of users were affected.
"We [do] get people trying to hack into our servers," he said. "That's something that I am aware of and we certainly have a team in place that are working to prevent that."
But by Tuesday Mr Simkhai admitted that he was "aware of some vulnerabilities" but he would not talk about them in detail to avoid a hacker exploiting them.
"We are certainly aware of a lot of these vulnerabilities and … they will be fixed as fast as humanly possible," he said.
He could not say how many people had attempted to take advantage of the vulnerabilities but said a website created by the hacker had exploited some of the flaws in Grindr. That website was shut down after Friday's interview with Fairfax Media after he sought legal action.
The website, registered on July 14 last year, allowed the hacker to search for any Grindr user regardless of their location, and capitalised on the vulnerabilities to offer other services not designed by the apps.
Material seen by this website suggests that a number of Australian users had their Twitter profiles linked to Grindr profiles on the web page, making it easier to find users.
At one point, according to sources who saw the website before it was taken down, it listed users' Grindr pseudonyms, passwords, their personal favourites (bookmarked friends) and allowed them to be impersonated, and thus have messages sent and received without their knowledge. At one point, the website also allowed users' profile pictures to be replaced.
It is understood the hacker changed the profile picture of numerous Sydney Grindr users to explicit images. One user who was targeted confirmed they had been banned due to a perceived terms of service violation.
It is understood the hacker took advantage of the fact the apps used a personalised string of numbers known as a hash, instead of a user name and password, to log in. The hash is exchanged between users' smartphones so they can communicate with each other but the hacker discovered it could be replaced with another users' hash to enable the hacker to:
– Log in as any user
– See the user's favourites
– Change their profile information and profile picture
– Talk to others as the user
– Access pictures sent to the user
– Impersonate a user's "favourite" and talk to them as a friend
A security expert – who did not wish to be named because he didn't have Mr Simkhai's permission to analyse his systems – said that the Grindr and Blendr apps "had no real security".
They are "very poorly designed … [with] poor session security and authentication", the expert said. "It wouldn't be too hard to secure this."
The security expert demonstrated with permission of a user how he could log in as them and take over the app.
In a statement Mr Simkhai said keeping his platform secure from hackers was a "number one priority".
Using technological means and legal actions his company had "blocked the offending website and hacker".
"We are diligently monitoring for hacking and we've added dedicated IT security specialists to our team," he said. "In the coming weeks, we'll be rolling out a major security upgrade to our platform."
He maintained conversations on the app could not be monitored. "Not only can chat not be monitored, but since we don't store chat history on our servers there is no way anyone can access all past chat history."
If users are concerned about their security they can permanently delete their Grindr or Blendr profile following a number of steps on the company's website, which involves Grindr manually deleting it through a support request.

In their latest blog entry, Dr. Brilliant Cliche and the Granny Doctor explain why it doesn't always pay to accept a gift of furniture just to be nice.
Dear Dr. Brilliant Cliché;
About a year ago, one of my husband's business clients, Pamela, gave us an ottoman when she got new furniture. It was big and I didn't really know what to do with it, but I was told "I paid $1,000 to have this covered with special material from Italy!" so I tried to find a place for the thing. It ended up under a work table and my cat took to sleeping on it.
Now, a year later, Pamela moved, and decided she wanted her ottoman back. I was glad to get it out of my house, but when she noticed that it had cat hair all over the top and a couple of small stains from hairballs, Pamela went ballistic.
Check out the full blog here.
