For years, mixed martial art has been a man's world. But 2013 is shaping up to be the year women take the spotlight.
Ronda Rousey beat Liz Carmouche in February, during Ultimate Fighting Championship's first female bout. And this weekend, Shogun Fights VIII will host the first female professional mixed martial arts fight in Maryland.
On Saturday, Rosanna Garcia and Gabrielle Holloway will face off at Baltimore's 1st Mariner Arena, as the co-main event on the card — an event that could open doors for women in the sport and ultimately allow for more female professional fights locally.
"I hope this will encourage more girls to get involved," said John Rallo, promoter of Shogun Fights.
Originally, UFC President Dana White did not want women to fight, thinking that the bouts wouldn't be good enough to charge people to watch it, Rallo said, but Rousey, who won a bronze medal for judo at the 2008 Olympics, was skilled enough to change his mind, Rallo said.
"She's really opened the eyes of the world to women's professional fighting," Rallo said. "There aren't a ton of women that are doing it."
When mixed martial arts was legalized in Maryland in 2008, women's fighting was included. But since the sport is not as popular with women as with men, there isn't as big a talent pool, which is why the first professional women's fight is only happening now, Rallo said.
"I didn't want to have women on for the sake of having women on," Rallo said. "I wanted to have women who were skilled to make sure they would entertain the fans."
Holloway, who wrestled and played basketball in high school, got involved in mixed martial arts in 2009 after starting to train at a boxing gym to stay in shape, she said. She now trains every day except Sunday, for a total of 20 or 25 hours a week, she said.
"I do this strictly for fun," she said. "It's a stress reliever."
Holloway, 22, who trains in Culpeper, Va., goes to school for veterinary medicine and says she fights "so I wont be 200 pounds, because I love to eat."
Garcia, 27, also got involved in the sport in 2009, after graduating from college and telling a friend she thought she was running out of time to be physically great at something. Her brother told her about a special at Evolve Academy where she lives in Gaithersburg, which specializes in Muay Thai and jujitsu. After going, she realized that's what she wanted to do.
"As soon as I threw that first punch, I was like, 'Man, that felt really good,'" she said.
Garcia is excited for the fight, which will be her first as a professional and is a chance for a re-match against Holloway, who beat her by judge's decision after three rounds when they faced each other as amateurs.
"I think it's great the women are starting to be accepted more in MMA," Garcia said. "It's an honor to be the first female professional fight [in Maryland MMA]."
Despite women's professional matches only starting this year, Holloway and Garcia agreed they haven't had too many difficulties being women in the male-dominated world of mixed martial arts.
Fans' reception is generally positive, though Holloway said it's hard for her to find as many fights as she'd like.
"I train with guys, so the only time I really am around females is when I fight them," she said.
Garcia said when she tells people she fights in MMA, she does get some funny reactions.
"People are usually surprised, unless I'm wearing a tank top and they see my muscles," Garcia said.

I have noticed there is always a series of numbers electronically printed on the back of colour prints made by photo labs from 35-millimetre negatives. What does each group of numbers represent? And will my reprinted photographs turn out the same in terms of exposure level and colour if they are printed by different processing companies and different makes of colour photo printer or even by a different person, using the same settings as those used for my original set of prints?
•The characters that are printed on the reverse of a photograph are usually referred to as the backprint. Common data, which varies according to the lab, may include: an order number; the date your prints were made; the negative's frame number; and any colour or density corrections that are made to it.
Data showing colour or density adjustments made by the operator will usually be four or more ...

I'd like to take a look at the lockscreen as well. Looked like it was a flash version of the stock wm slider. Which means it likely has all the integration of the i920 tap unlock screen, but it's a slider. In addition, the above mentioned backlight issue appears to be resolved.
Kraddel, it uses the default icon of each application. However, you can change the default icon by using "JWMD Icon Changer". Google it. It's freeware.
My icons:
hmm bro... some icons cant be detected by jwmd icon changer.. any ways to change those other than showing in start menu's 1 ?
kgp, would you post lockscreen.swf .dll and .exe if you get a moment? Thank you.

I dumped the uploaded rom image with executor V2.8 by Pako777
there was no swf, but attached files: LockRes.dll, LockScreen.exe, shortcut to LockScreen, and I think important is: LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr
is it possible to prevent 10MB consumption with that LockScreen.exe? Or nothing changed but a cpr file.

As the NHL lockout lumbers on, the league and its players' association are finally trying something different this week to try to hash the remaining issues out. Six NHL players will meet with six NHL owners on Tuesday in New York City to take a new approach to solve the lockout. The six owners meeting will be Jeremy Jacobs of Boston, Ronald Burkle of Pittsburgh, Mark Chipman of Winnipeg, Jeffery Vinik of Tampa Bay, Murray Edwards of Calgary and Larry Tanenbaum of Toronto. The six players have not been chosen yet. While the lockout continues, Bruins Brad Marchand and Gregory Campbell were signing autographs for fans at The Westin Hotel in Providence, RI. NESN's Jamison Coyle caught up with Marchand, who said he's going "insane" without hockey. Watch the video above to hear Marchand react to the lockout from NESN Daily.

press release
The Chicago Council on Global Affairs' annual symposium, Advancing Food and Nutrition Security at the 2012 G8 Summit, is underway this morning.
President Barack Obama just delivered the keynote address, calling for G8 leaders to focus on the "injustice of chronic hunger" in the midst of world economic issues and austerity measures. He called for leaders to mobilize the $22 billion that was committed at the launch of L'Aquila in 2009 (of which only 22 percent has been delivered), continue GAFSP, and to mobilize more private capital into agriculture. He said our goal is to make emergency aid less and less relevant - that is how development is supposed to work.
To kick off this effort, Obama announced that 45 companies (both multinationals and African firms) have pledged $3 billion to fast track new agricultural projects that will reach those in need quicker. African agriculture will experience hugh leaps through the development of better seeds and better storage.
Cell phone data is now being used to educate farmers about when to plant, harvest, and sell their products. A single bad season or change in season should not plunge a family into poverty. Obama reiterated a common theme we've been hearing today: that focus needs to be placed on nutrition - especially in children. It is the smart thing to do, improves a child's potential, and lowers healthcare costs.
The Farm Futures panel focused on placing trade in the same conversation about food security and the importance of trade, markets, non-tariff and tariff trade barriers. Kanayo Nwanze, president of IFAD, said that it is good that food security is at the top of the global agenda - but it's not simply about feeding people - food security is the foremost foundation for political stability and global security. He said that Africa needs functioning domestic markets, in order to engage in international markets. Intra-Africa trade is barely 15 percent of total trade in Africa because of constraints in how farmers are organized, poor infrastructure, and poor markets.
Given the potential for growth in domestic markets, Nwanze asked, "Why is the private sector not involved? Not just multinationals, but domestic private sector." Smallholder farmers make up 80 percent of all farms, subsistence farming on an average of 2 hectares. Therefore focus needs to be on solving domestic trade problems before discussing international trade.

Get a Tricorder for $150 sometime in the New Year
Subject: General Tech | December 7, 2012 - 02:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tricorder, Scanadu, SCOUT
At $150 the Scanadu Scout sits at a very tempting price point for gadget lovers, which is only going to become more attractive as you learn about what it can do from Gizmodo. Aimed more at health nuts, there is still a lot of fun a geek who is less concerned about their health than the tech inside the SCOUT. In 10 seconds of you attaching the sensor to your temple, your Android or iPhone will receive data on your pulse transit time, heart rate, electrical heart activity, temperature, heart rate variability and blood oxygenation. Check out more about the SCOUT, the ScanaFlo and the ScanaFlu right here.
"The device you're looking at is called the Scanadu SCOUT and, basically, it's a medical tricorder that will give you precise vital information about any human being within seconds, just on contact."

He's dead Jim ... or at least that's what my Tricorder says
Subject: General Tech | March 30, 2012 - 01:13 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tricorder, DIY
The plans for the Tricorder Mk II have been released by The Tricorder Project and just who in their right mind would not want to build one for themselves ... or their kids. The device uses an Atmel AT91RM9200 processor, 32MB SDRAM and a pair of touchscreen OLEDs powered by an Epson S6E63D6 and runs Debian Linux.
The sensor suite onboard can monitor a variety of atmospheric, electromagnetic, temperature and spatial values. Toss your old IR thermometer away, the Tricorder will give you that measurement and distance as well. You might as well dump the GPS as well since the Tricorder has you covered. You will need a bit of skill in assembling electronics and soldering to finish the project, along with roughly $500 but the instructions are very detailed and in the end ... you get a working Tricorder!
"The Science Tricorder Mark 2 prototype sensor board contains ten different sensing modalities, organized into three main categories: atmospheric sensors, electromagnetic sensors, and spatial sensors. Many of the sensors are similar to those used in the Science Tricorder Mark 1, where the differences are centrally in upgrading sensors to higher-resolution versions where possible. The prototype sensor board also includes an imaging sensor, in the form of a cell phone camera, that is untested. Sensor boards for the Mark 2 are designed to be self-contained, include separate microcontrollers for low-level sensor communication, and as such are more easily upgraded."

European Defence/B_descRubAff1>
European defence
A new impetus for Europe's security and defence
Very early in his term of office, the President of France sets out his proposals for revitalising European defence.
In order to maintain the positive momentum built up since December 2011 behind the reinforcement of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) – as demonstrated by the launch of two CSDP missions in the summer of 2012, one in Niger and the other in the Horn of Africa, in addition to the identification of concrete projects in the field of military capacity in December 2011 - France organised a meeting in Paris on 15 November 2012 of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Ministers of the Weimar Plus Group (France, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain). The purpose of the meeting was to formulate proposals on the CSDP ahead of future European elections. The meeting's outcome proposal was circulated to the High Representative, the European Commission, the Council, member States and the press. The ministers called in particular for enhanced efforts on current security issues, in particular in Mali, Libya, Syria and the Balkans.
An initial debate was held at the Foreign Affairs Council (FAC) meeting of 19 November 2012, prior to the adoption by the European Council of 13 and 14 December 2012 of ambitious conclusions in preparation for the European Council of December 2013, which will be devoted to defence and security matters. These conclusions reflect France's main concerns:
as regards operations and crisis management, reiterating that CSDP missions and operations are an essential element of the EU's comprehensive approach in crisis regions (see communication from the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Commission on the comprehensive approach, due in spring 2013), and calling for strengthening of the EU's ability to deploy the right civilian and military personnel rapidly and effectively on the ground;
as regards capabilities, referring to the need for a more systematic and longer-term European defence cooperation, including through the "pooling and sharing" of military capabilities;
on the industrial front, referring to the need to develop the European defence technological and industrial base and to develop greater synergies between civilian and military research and development, and to implement the Defence Package directives;
France's aim now is to prepare for the European Council of December 2013, in conjunction with all the European partners keen to take the CSDP forward. France has set the following priorities, reflecting the objectives set out in the conclusions of the European Council of December 2012:
increase the effectiveness of the CSDP: reinforce the role of the CSDP in the comprehensive approach. As part of this process, the reactivation of EUBAM Rafah (EU Border Assistance Mission in the Palestinian Territories) and planning for a support mission in Libya are considered strategic objectives, in addition to the launch of EUTM Mali (EU Training Mission in Mali);
develop defence capabilities: reinforce the role and resources of the European Defence Agency for better identification of priorities;
strengthen Europe's defence industry: overcome divergences between member States in order to consolidate Europe's defence technological and industrial base.

Microsoft will release Office for Android and iOS devices early next year, The Verge is reporting, lending more weight to rumors that have been circulating since early this year.
According to the report, the app will be free for viewing, but editing will only be supported for people with Office 365 subscriptions. Users will need to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the free app, whether they have an Office 365 subscription or not.
If this report is true, Microsoft's version of Office for these platforms won't have much to set it apart from other apps that do the same thing. (Microsoft has not confirmed the existence of the app or the timing, saying only that it will support Office across platforms.)
There are already many options for viewing and editing Office documents on the go. My Motorola Atrix 4G came with Quickoffice, which lets me view and edit Word, Powerpoint, and Excel documents. I can save my edited versions to Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, and other online services (although not Skydrive, as Quickoffice is owned by Google.).
Different pro versions of Quickoffice cost $15 to $20 for Android and iOS devices. Apple's iWork, Smart Office, and others offer additional options for viewing and editing Office documents on mobile devices.
Offering Office apps on competing mobile platforms will represent a shift for Microsoft. Back when Windows Mobile had decent market share, it appeared that the company's strategy was to try to convince mobile workers to use Windows Mobile as the only way to get a mobile Office app from Microsoft. But with the transition to Windows Phone, Microsoft's mobile market share has plummeted and the company must see that mobile Office isn't going to draw people to its mobile phone platform.
In addition, the advent of Office 365 means that Microsoft can now more elegantly offer the mobile app to paying Office customers. Office 365 users have a user name and password that they can use to sign in to the mobile app. Prior to Office 365, there hasn't been a simple way to tie the mobile and desktop versions of Office together.

>Did you have to do anything different when you configured the AS/400 SMTP or >did the "Standard" configuration work (By "Standard" I mean the method that >is well documented on this web site as well as others)? You shouldn't need to do anything special. I assume by 'standard' you mean by setting up the 'INTERNET GATEWAY' entry in the system directory? If so, it will use DNS to try to resolve a mail server address via the MX record for the domain the AS/400 resides in. So you need to make sure that its IP configuration names its domain, and a valid DNS server for that domain that contains an MX record pointing to a valid SMTP server. Other than that, I can't see why it would care where or what that server is as long as it speaks SMTP and answers on the correct port.

1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
Has anyone used bricks cut in thirds, +/- 2 3/4" thick for the dome. My main concern is minimum weight while maintaining enough mass for good cooking. Are'nt most floors only 2 3/8" thick?
I know looks (1/3 of the bricks will have a cut end showing) may be an issue.
Re: 1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
Is it a portable oven?
Re: 1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
The dome's structural stability is directly related to the thickness of the shell. Since a hemisphere is not the ideal shape for an arch, as the shell gets thinner you have an increasing risk of the thrust from the weight of the bricks moving outside the curvature of the bricks. If the thrust line exits the bricks to the outside of the dome, the dome will collapse outwardly. If the thrust line exits the bricks to the inside of the dome, the dome will collapse inwardly. Either way is a recipe for disaster. Thicker dome walls are more likely to contain the thrust line within the bricks.
Think twice about building a thinner dome. If you decide to anyway, think again!:D
Re: 1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
I thought a dome is the perfect self supporting structure, the arch transition might be harder but nothing a metal support cannot assist ?
Re: 1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
That's a very common misconception. The most stable shape for an arch is a catenary. Check out this website: Auroville Earth Institute.
The thrust of the dome's weight will always follow a catenary shape. Ideally, an arch that is a different shape will be thick enough for the thrust catenary to stay within the walls. The Auroville web site explains this much better than I can.
Re: 1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
Check out Dmuns geodesic - I think that has a pretty thin shell 36" - some pics here - you could ask him about it's heat retention etc
Re: 1/3 vs 1/2 brick thick dome
Here is the thickness of Dmuns geodesic:1

Vix Below 15 -- Time to Worry?
The S&P 500 VIX Volatility index traded below 15 yesterday for the first time since early 2011. A number of financial players have commented that a drop below 15 for the VIX is a warning sign for the market. A look at the historical trading patterns of the VIX and the S&P 500, however, show that this is simply not the case.
Below is a chart of the S&P 500 since 1990. The green shading represents any time that the VIX was below 15. As shown, the VIX was basically below 15 from mid-1992 through early 1996 as well as mid-2004 through early 2007. During these time periods, the S&P 500 experienced huge gains.
A VIX at 15 really isn't that low based on historical standards either. Since 1990, the median daily close of the VIX has been 19, and during the two periods mentioned above, the median was 13.

The recently launched 2+2 Elementary Education Program at three sites — Roane State Community College's Crossville and Oak Ridge sites, plus Pellissippi State Technical Community College — attracted about 75 teaching candidates this semester. The program, which offers on-site delivery of the third and fourth years of the College of Education's teacher licensure program, is designed to mirror the quality of on-campus classes while increasing accessibility.
"Bringing community colleges and four-year universities together is a national trend," said TTU College of Education Dean Darrell Garber. "Many states have adopted statutes requiring this type of cooperation and authorizing community colleges to award four-year degrees. We are the only Tennessee university responding to this need in our state."
TTU's Department of Curriculum and Instruction has paid particular attention to the 2+2 program's structure in order to maintain the quality of the program away from campus. Three new tenure track faculty members, one for each site, were hired to teach full-time. Those new faculty members will be mentored by colleagues who teach the same courses on TTU's campus and will attend regular faculty meetings. Full-time and part-time adjunct instructors will also augment the program.
"We plan to ensure the candidates at these sites receive the same high quality instruction and have the same resources available as our students on campus," said Larry Peach, TTU's Curriculum and Instruction chairperson.
Having library services and support available at these locations for students also helps keep every candidate on a level playing field, says Peach.
"With a library liaison on campus, we use online texts, interlibrary exchange and technology to make sure 2+2 students have the same resources available to them," said Peach.
TTU's Provost Marvin Barker says this program is another step toward responding to the needs of students who are location- or time-bound and need viable alternatives available to them.
"As we move into the future, we will be offering more instruction on off-campus sites," said Barker. "Whether we do this with people or technology or a combination of both, we will deliver education when and where they need it."
While the Department of Curriculum and Instruction oversees the academic efforts, the School of Interdisciplinary Studies and Extended Education manages the logistics of the effort.
"Many people at each campus have worked very diligently to develop the program and get it started," said Dean Susan Elkins. "It's great to see it become a reality."
Open House receptions will be held to celebrate the program's first semester at the new locations. Roane State will host an Open House at the Cumberland County Higher Education Center from 4 to 5 p.m. CDT, Monday, Sept. 29, and at the Oak Ridge Branch Campus' Manning Art Gallery from 4 to 5 p.m. EDT, Thursday, Oct. 2. Pellissippi State will host an Open House at the Hardin Valley Campus' Lamar Alexander Building, Room 126, from 3 to 5 p.m. EDT, Thursday, Oct. 9.For more information about the 2+2 program, call 931-372-3394.

A farmer returns from the market, where he bought a she-goat, a cabbage and a wolf (what a crazy market :-). On the way home he must cross a river. His boat is small and won't fit more than one of his purchases. He cannot leave the she-goat alone with the cabbage (because the she-goat would eat it), nor he can leave the she-goat alone with the wolf (because the she-goat would be eaten).
How can the farmer get everything on the other side?

IN APRIL 1940, the celebrated physicist Niels Bohr was in a quandary: what to do with two gold Nobel medals, given to him for safe keeping at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen. With Nazi forces invading Denmark, it was only a matter of time before the institute was searched.
After rejecting the idea of burying the medals, Bohr and his colleague George de Hevesy dissolved them in a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid. They poured the resulting orange liquid into two bottles and placed them, in plain view, on a laboratory shelf. Years later, the gold was recovered, and recoined for the grateful owners.
Boffinology is full of tales like this. Justin Pollard slips behind the scenes of science, telling us the quirky, smelly, deceitful, charming and sometimes spine-chilling details behind moments of genius throughout history. Some of those moments would be of lasting significance, such as ...

Remember the ridiculous Veritas RSIII that Richard drove in the last series?
Well, how do you fancy an SUV version? Seriously. Reports are reaching us from Germany that Veritas is planning a limited run of carbon fibre off-roaders.
We can't imagine, even for a second, what the hell it's going to look like. Bizarre, we'd guess.
But, should it happen, the Veritas SUV will be fast. The open-cockpit RSIII, remember, hits 60mph in something pretty close to three seconds flat, courtesy of a 620bhp BMW-sourced V10.
The SUV could be equally perception-bending, especially if it's powered by... an airplane engine.
Oh yes. We hear rumours that the Veritas SUV will pack a small aircraft engine. May we humbly suggest the 27-litre, V12 Rolls-Royce Merlin?
It also looks likely that, in addition to the 30 or so open-cockpit RSIIIs planned for production, Veritas will build roughly the same number of coupe RSIIIs.
Starting price? A mere £250,000...
Now watch Richard thrash the lightweight German racer:

Dark money riles attorney general's race
By David Saleh Rauf | May 22, 2014 | Updated: May 23, 2014 8:45pm
Photo By Eric Gay/STFFile- In this Jan. 11, 2011 file photo, Rep. Ken Paxton, R-McKinney, addresses the opening session of the 82nd Texas Legislature, in Austin, Texas. Today, one of the three Republicans vying to become the stateâs next attorney general, Paxton hasnât been shy about billing himself as the second coming of Ted Cruz. Emulating Cruz's rise from onetime longshot to conservative superstar is something many top Texas Republican politicians aspire to. (AP Photo/Eric Gay, File)
Photo By KIN MAN HUI/STAFFState representative Dan Branch
AUSTIN - A prominent Republican campaign finance attorney who recently led the charge to allow wealthy donors to plow more money into federal elections is behind a shadow group orchestrating a new set of attack ads in the Texas attorney general's race.
It is the latest twist in a GOP runoff already chock full of animosity: State Sen. Ken Paxton and opponent state Rep. Dan Branch have been blasting each other for weeks over ethical lapses.
Now, an out-of-state politically active nonprofit has parachuted into the race and started spending anonymous campaign cash on an ad airing in at least seven cities across the state.
The ad, a 30-second spot paid for by a group called the American Dream Initiative, hits Paxton for getting a recent fine leveled by state securities regulators and encourages voters to call his office to tell him to support ethics reform legislation.
Since the anti-Paxton ad started airing earlier this week, the central question surrounding it has been who is behind the group funding the attack.
The only identifying markers are a mention on the bottom of the TV spot and contracts for the ad buy filed with broadcast TV stations - both of which list Dan Backer, the lead lawyer in the FEC v. McCutcheon case, as the chairman of the American Dream Initiative.
Ethics reform
In a phone interview Thursday, Backer said the group is not attacking Paxton and has not coordinated with either campaign but said Paxton's past behavior requires more scrutiny and is indicative of a need for more ethics legislation.
Paxton recently was fined $1,000 by the State Securities Board for soliciting clients for a financial services firm without a license.
"He is a poster boy for why this government ethics reform legislation is so important," Backer said.
Backer's group is a 501(c)4 nonprofit, a popular vehicle for folks looking to spend money in elections anonymously. Nonprofit 501(c)4s do not publicly disclose their donors, earning them the title of "dark money" groups.
The ad, and its clandestine origin, has roiled the Paxton campaign and its supporters, which have pointed the finger back at the Branch camp for the attacks.
On Thursday, the Branch campaign denied any involvement with Backer's group "or any other third-party effort," said spokesman Enrique Marquez.
The campaign declined to address a question on the minds of team Paxton: How Branch could vote in favor last session to require 501(c)4s to start disclosing donors and then months later seemingly benefit from an attack ad launched by such a group.
"Dan Branch's largest supporter is a (c)4 spending a half-a-million dollars to get him elected," Paxton campaign spokesman Anthony Holm said.
Paxton also has received support from dark money groups. The influential Empower Texans group and the Texas Home School Coalition, both registered as (c)4s, have spent money to help Paxton's run for attorney general, state records show.
Unlimited spending
Earlier this year, Backer received national attention when he represented Shaun McCutcheon in the landmark campaign finance case FEC v. McCutcheon. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor, wiping out limits on aggregate federal campaign contributions, though it did not touch how much individuals can give to individual campaigns.
Backer's Texas ad appears to run into a gray area of state campaign finance law.
Since 2010, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in FEC v. Citizens United to allow corporations to spend unlimited sums in elections, nonprofits registered as (c)4s have been allowed to spend in Texas elections. They cannot give directly to a candidate but can spend on mailers and other advertisements, though they are required by state law to disclose expenditures.
Backer said he does not have to report his spending to the Texas Ethics Commission because the advertisement was an "issue ad" and did not outright advocate for a candidate or to influence an election.
Campaign finance experts said outside groups such as Backer's should not be required to disclose expenditures with state regulators if the content of the ad is issue-driven.
"You don't all of a sudden trigger some reporting requirement by conducting issue advocacy in this state," said Austin-based campaign finance lawyer Chris Gober.
Law-flouting charges
The Paxton campaign lobbed charges that the group could be flouting campaign finance laws by not reporting spending to the Texas Ethics Commission.
If challenged, it ultimately will be a matter for state campaign finance regulators to handle. A complaint can be lodged with the Texas Ethics Commission, or Paxton's camp can decide to launch a lawsuit.
Both candidates have pumped millions of dollars slugging it out on the airwaves in the weeks before the runoff. Branch spent almost $2.5 million on advertising services, while Paxton spent almost $2 million, according to campaign finance disclosures.

The grinding of solid matters occurs under exposure of mechanical forces that trench the structure by overcoming of the interior bonding forces. After the grinding the state of the solid is changed: the grain size, the grain size disposition and the grain shape.
Grinding may serve the following purposes in engineering:
with W as grinding work in kJ/kg, c as grinding coefficient, dA as grain size of the source material and dE as grain size of the ground material.
A reliable value for the grain sizes dA and dE is d80. This value signifies that 80% (mass) of the solid matter has a smaller grain size. The BOND's grinding coefficient for different materials can be found in various literature. To calculate the KICK's and RITTINGER's coefficients following formulas can be used
with the limits of BOND's range: upper dBU = 50 mm and lower dBL = 0.05 mm.
A typical type of fine grinder is the ball mill. A slightly inclined or horizontal rotating cylinder is partially filled with balls, usually stone or metal, which grinds material to the necessary fineness by friction and impact with the tumbling balls. The feed is at one end of the cylinder and the discharge is at the other. Ball mills are commonly used in the manufacture of Portland cement.
A rotating drum throws large rocks and steel balls in a cataracting motion which causes impact breakage of larger rocks and compressive grinding of finer particles. Attrition in the charge causes grinding of finer particles. SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length. The inside of the mill is lined with lifting plates to lift the material inside up and around the inside of the mill, where it then falls off the plates and falls back down.
SAG mills are primarily used in the gold, copper and platinum industries with applications also in the lead, zinc, silver, alumina and nickel industries.
It consists of a pair of vertical cylindrical rollers through which material is passed. The two rollers rotate in opposite directions, "nipping" and crushing material between them. A similar type of intermediate crusher is the edge runner, which consists of a circular pan with two or more heavy wheels known as mullers rotating within it; material to be crushed is shoved underneath the wheels using attached plow blades.

I admit that I'm really not a very skillful software engineer.
My typical coding session begins with starting to code, rather
than thinking much about the design.
Of course, most of what I write are games, and are kind of 'disposable.'
Once I actually finish the project, it's finished, so I don't have to
deal with it much later - there's not much of a problem with scale.
(A few examples come up where scale was a big issue, and I've never finished
the game. BoboBot and Super Tux come to mind. But, I vow to one day
complete them!)

garmin quest for trails
I use a zumo for my main bike, but have an old quest rigged on my little go anywhere serow. It's obviously out of date, obsolete, but is there a way to update it and get some tracks on it?

I just bought a Quest very cheaply the other day and I like it. (What can I say, I'm a sucker for a cheap gps)
It needed a new battery which I found on eBay, and now that it's working normally, it seems to be a good little unit.
Unfortunately anytime you upload a map to the Quest, you're going to blow away the existing maps unless you included them as well in your map upload. The Quest 2 has pre-installed maps which won't be removed when you add more maps but that is not the case with the Quest.
I uploaded Garmin Topo maps to the Quest, but have not tried using it on the bike, let alone offroad, but I see no reason why it couldn't work as well as something like the 60C, etc. The Topo maps have auto-routing capabilities and it does navigate to street addresses well.
Here's a post by R-dubb which describes how to use Tracks in the Quest:
"Don't know if anyone still cares, but I've solved the Quest / Streetpilot track loading issue. As discussed in the How to make tracks mit Garmin, the streetpilots (inc Quests) don't have Saved Track capabilities. There is one big, Active Log. So when you download a track, or any number of tracks, from computer to receiver they all go into a single continuous log. (We already knew that!) Here the new part...
The downloaded tracks must be named: ACTIVE LOG, ACTIVE LOG 001, ACTIVE LOG 002, ETC. So, rename the tracks you want to download as such (Yes, must be all caps!). They will then load in order and show up on the map. If they have any other names, they will not load. You can load any number up to the total size of the Active Log. That would be 10,000 points for Quest. Oh, make sure you clear the memory before the download, or you will have a problem."

After veterinary officers in the Upper East Region had successfully brought anthrax under control in the Bawku West District, the disease has surfaced in the Bongo District, killing two persons.
The Regional Veterinary Officer, Dr. Thomas Anyorikeya, who confirmed the outbreak and the deaths of the two persons to The Chronicle, explained that a cow died at Nabiisi, a section of Balunugu in the Bongo district, and the meat was consumed by some community people.
He said after consumption, three persons, including a woman, were taken ill and sent to the hospital. One of the men and the woman later died.
According to the officer, a combined team of veterinary officers, health, and Zoomlion workers later retrieved and buried the remaining meat.
Dr. Anyorikeya said since the outbreak of the disease in that district, 2,700 livestock had been vaccinated. However, he regretted that the vaccination exercise had come to a halt, following the failure of the Bongo District Assembly and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to approve a budget submitted to them by the District Veterinary Officer for fuel and working allowances.
He said his personnel in the district had to use their own resources, including money for fuel, to go round to vaccinate the animals. Having exhausted their meagre resources on the exercise, Dr. Anyorikey said, the personnel could no longer continue with the vaccination.
He is, therefore, worried that if immediate steps are not taken to release money for the exercise to continue, it could spell doom for both residents and their livestock, as the disease could spread faster.

There was, in fact, no long-term follow-up of any of the thousands of individuals exposed to these agents during WWII as evidenced by the accompanying lack of epidemiological studies of chemical warfare production workers, war gas handlers and trainers, and combat casualties of the Bari harbor bombing. The committee was particularly dismayed at this lack of epidemiological and follow-up data from the United States, despite the availability of a large cohort of civilian workers and military personnel who were involved in chemical warfare production and training, as well as the individuals who served as human subjects in chemical warfare testing programs. The committee was forced to rely on studies done in Japan and Great Britain to assess what was known about the long-term health risks from occupational exposure to mustard agents and Lewisite. As demonstrated in Chapters 3 and 7, such occupational data are directly relevant to the assessment of the potential effects of mustard agent and Lewisite exposure in the experimental testing programs, because the levels of exposure to mustard agents or Lewisite experienced by the human subjects may have been much higher than inferred in the summaries of the gas chamber and field tests.
These exposures were likely as high as those estimated for battlefield and occupational exposures, due to cumulative skin exposure compounded by inhalation exposure. Numerous lines of evidence demonstrate that inhalation exposures did indeed occur (see Chapter 3 and 7). First, modern gas masks have efficiency ratings (or PF) between 50 and 100 (a PF of 100 means that 1 percent of the contaminant in the atmosphere will penetrate a mask's filter canister); however, the efficiency achieved in actual use has been demonstrated to be much lower. Even if a much higher PF of 1,000 is assumed for the gas masks used in the WWII testing programs, penetration of sufficient amounts of the agents to cause respiratory and ocular signs and symptoms would have been expected at many of the concentrations used in the experiments. Second, there is documentation in the actual records of these experiments, as well as official histories of production settings, that respiratory and ocular symptoms and injuries did occur, and that problems were encountered with gas masks leaking after repeated use. Third, the specific diaphragm type of gas mask used in the gas chamber tests was eventually shown to be leaky due to penetration of the diaphragm element, independent of the filter canister employed.
The reasons for the lack of follow-up of human subjects and combat casualties, as well as gas production, handling, and training personnel, can only be surmised, but the climate of secrecy within which the WWII chemical warfare production and testing programs were conducted is probably a key factor.

Mystery Writer
A Deadly Arrangement
by Denise Osborne
In this first book in the Feng Shui
Mystery series, we are introduced to
Feng Shui practitioner, Salome
Waterhouse, her eclectic family, the
lovely coastal village of Holyrood-By-
The-Sea, a spectacular old mansion,
and Feng Shui itself, all accommodated
by the murder of a local artist. Using her
Feng Shui skills, Salome subtly assists
in the investigation.
Positioned To Die
by Denise Osborne
Salome Waterhouse has a new next-
door neighbor at her second home in the
Georgetown section of Washington,
D.C. But he's hardly neighborly. In fact,
Duncan Mah killed his chances at
friendship when he gutted the gorgeous
rose garden that adorned his front yard.
Fortunately for them both, Salome is
busy with other things. A decorator to
Washington's political players is found
murdered in his home and Salome
teams up with Judah Freeman, an old
friend and private eye, to uncover
negative energy and the truth. Salome
has her suspicions, and Duncan Mah is
one of them. But so far, the only thing
she can pin on him is bad taste and bad
feng shui. And neither is a crime--yet.
Designed To Kill
by Denise Osborne
Salome is off to Northern California to
lead a feng shui seminar at the
prestigious Star Institute. A New Agey
atmosphere filled with yoga instructors
and vegan chefs is just what her ch'i
needs. But it's not long before Salome
gets her feng shui feet wet once again in
a murder investigation. The victim: Toby
Ashcroft, Institute owner and former dot.
com tycoon. The suspects: bitter ex-
business partners, jilted ex-lovers, and
greedy relatives. But Salome has her
third eye on something else, something
out of place that defies feng shui--and
criminal law...
Evil Intentions
- trade paper
by Denise Osborne
When arsonists target Salome
Waterhouse's Georgetown home, It's
bad Feng Shui, to say the Least, for the
Japanese-American practitioner. Then
her ex-husband, a mystery writer,
discovers the body of an Organizer, a
questionable suicide. Their friend, an
African-American private investigator,
sees that the cases are intertwined and
that the time has come for the three to
combine their skills in combating crime.
This eclectic trio of Baby Boomers must
bring down an underworld figure whose
evil intentions have destroyed countless
lives--and threaten their own.

DURHAM, N.H. – Few gymnastics programs in the country can claim that they have advanced to the NCAA Regional competition every year since its inception. The University of New Hampshire is one of those programs. That's why, in 2002,the 'Cats once again expect "All Eyes on Us."
In 2001, the 'Cats proved they are truly "A Class Act." UNH recorded new team highs in all four events and recorded the third highest team score in UNH history with a 195.275. The year end record was a strong 16-3-1 and in post season the team placed fourth at the EAGL Championships and advanced to the Northeast Regional, where they finished fourth in one of the most difficult regional meets in the country. UNH was topped by the Big Ten Champions - U of Michigan (third in the Nation), the Pacific Ten Champions - Stanford(eighth in the Nation), and a strong LSU team. The regional meet score of 194.225 was the highest regional mark in UNH history and was strong enough to end the season with a ranking of twenty-second in the Nation.
Suzanne Poretz was named EAGL Gymnast of the Year and advanced to the NCAA Championship as an individual qualifier in the all-around.
This season, a youth movement will be afoot in Durham. Despite the loss of seniors Poretz, Rose Kosowski and Wendy Wheaton, UNH appears to be a force to be reckoned with once again, returning the last two EAGL Rookies of the Year. An eight-member freshman class also arrived on campus this fall eager and ready to write the next chapter of Wildcat gymnastics history.
Head coach Gail Goodspeed has just two seniors on the 16-person roster, Katie Revis (Putnam Valley, N.Y.) and Bethany Wagner (Bound Brook,N.J.). The duo will serve as co-captains this season for the Wildcats.
Revis has etched her name in the Wildcat record books, as she recorded a 9.9 on the floor in a meet against Brown and Bridgeport last season, good for fifth all-time in Wildcat history. She will be a strong leader on balance beam and floor exercise. A member of the 9.5 Club, Revis was also named to the EAGL All- Academic Team in 1999.
Wagner, an All-EAGL selection in 2000 on vault, will be looked to in that event again in 2002. She will compete a front handspring front salto with a half twist for the first time. Last season, she established a new career high on the floor, netting a 9.85 in home meets against Rutgers and Towson. She is training hard for an all-around spot this season with increased difficulty on uneven bars and balance beam.
The junior class boasts the last two EAGL Rookies of the Year in Jen Dickson (Salisbury, Md.) and Michelle Harley (Collegeville, Pa.). Harley garnered the award in 2000, while Dickson claimed rookie honors in 2001 after being injured for most of her freshman season.
Dickson, who also earned EAGL All-Academic honors last season, will be looked to this season as one of two returning all-around performers, along with Harley. Last season Dickson had a personal best of 38.95 in the all-around in her first full season of competition. She received the team's most improved award from her peers and contributed the most total points to the team in the 2001 season.
Harley, who was named EAGL All-League for the second-straight season in 2001, is New Hampshire's top returning all-around competitor. She tied with Poretz last season for the final all-around spot at the NCAA Nationals, with Poretz advancing based on the tiebreaker. Harley is a top candidate to advance this season as well. Her personal best all-around is a 39.05, which ranks fifth in the all-time UNH records. She also holds personal bests of 9.85 on all four individual events. Her academic accolades are strong as she was named as a member of the District 2000-2001 Verizon Academic All-America Fall and Winter At-Large team, a NACGC/W Academic All-American, an EAGL All-Academic member, and a recipient of the UNH Academic Athletic Achievement award.
Erin Malinak (Pittsburgh, Pa.) is the third member of the class of 2003. She received the team's Most Inspirational Award last season and often helps motivate her teammates. A 2001 EAGL All-Academic selection, Malinak will be slowed at the start of the season due to shoulder surgery over the summer. She could move into the line-up on bars, beam, and floor when she fully recovers. Her unique skills on bars make her a standout on this event and she holds a 9.8 as a personal best score.
Like the junior class, the sophomore class also consists of three members, Crystal Beak (DeWitt, N.Y.), Brie McNamara (Haymarket, Va.) and Tara Phillips (Houston, Texas). All three had an impact as freshmen and will be counted on to maintain the high standard set by the graduating seniors.
Beak put her name solidly into the UNH record book, scoring a 9.9 on the beam in UNH's win over Towson on March 3. That places her second all-time, behind Cara Lepper's perfect 10.0 in 1996. Beak is looking strong in the all- around in early season training and could be one of the top performers this year. Her form and execution is exquisite and she leaves little room for the judges to take deductions.
Phillips will also vie for an all-around spot. Her strengths are in vaulting and the uneven bars but don't count her out on beam and floor. She is a strong competitor and could move into the all-around.
McNamara will be looking to build upon a 2001 season that saw her post scores of at least 9.7 on vault and floor. She competes a strong front handspring-front salto with a half twist on vaulting and will strengthen that event for the team. She could make an impact on the other events with continued training.
UNH also welcomes one of its largest freshman classes in recent history in 2002. Eight newcomers will compete for the Blue and White this season. Twins Lindsay and Vanessa Berrios (Long Pond, Pa.), Candice Carbone (Woburn, Mass.), Kimberly Cosci (Babylon, N.Y.), Vanessa James (Malden, Mass.), Rachel Murray (Pittsfield, Mass.), Jayne Propert (Bradley Beach, N.J.) and Michelle Totz (Whitby, Ontario) will all look to make an impact in their first year as Wildcats.
As usual, New Hampshire's schedule features some of the top squads in the country. After opening the year at Rutgers January 10, UNH's home opener is January 19 against Rhode Island. Other home meets include the UNH Invitational against Cornell and Temple, Penn State, Alaska, and a tri-meet with Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Yale.
After ending the regular season at Auburn, the 'Cats travel to Towson March 23 for the EAGL Championships. This will again be a very challenging meet that all eight teams have a chance to capture.
The top 18 teams in the country will be seeded into six NCAA regional meets on April 6, 2002. There will then be three slots filled from within each region to make a total field of 6 teams. Five all around competitors (who are not on a qualifying team) and one individual specialist per event (minimum RQS of 9.4) will come from within the region. The NCAA Northeast regional will be held at Penn State, Oregon State hosts the West meet, Denver hosts the North Central, the South Central is at Arizona State, the Central at LSU, and the Southeast meet is at West Virginia.
The NCAA National Championship will be held from April 18-20 at the U of Alabama. It will feature the top two teams from each of the Regional meets, the top two individual all-arounders who are not part of an advancing team, and any individual Regional event winners who are not part of a team or the all-around qualifiers.
