IMMOKALEE — Early in the season, Lake Wales laid the blueprint for how to beat the Immokalee Indians. On Friday night at Gary Bates Stadium, Palmetto followed the blueprint to a T, grabbing an early lead and holding on to beat the Indians 42-21 and capture the Class 5A region title.
The loss — Palmetto led 28-0 at the half — ended the season for the Indians, while Palmetto advances to the state semifinals where it will host Miami-Norland next Friday. "We just dug ourselves too big of a hole," Immokalee coach Jerrod Ackley said. "We just didn't play well early, it was very uncharacteristic of us and they took advantage."
Immokalee came out of the locker room flat in the first half, and Palmetto wasted little time jumping all over the Indians. Tigers running back Josh Hicks ate up the Indians defense for chunks of yardage, and Palmetto quarterback Trent Miller was on target all night.
Hicks finished with 92 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries, while Miller completed 10-of-20 passes for 171 yards and five touchdowns.
Despite having just 31 yards of offense, Immokalee trailed just 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.
After recovering a fumble on the first play of the second quarter, the Indians appeared to be in perfect position to make it a game. But on the first play of the ensuing drive, Immokalee quarterback Tshumbi Johnson was intercepted by Palmetto's Dallas Jackson, who returned the ball all the way to the Immokalee 17-yard line.
On the next play, it was Miller connecting with Hicks for a 17-yard touchdown pass and the rout was on.
By the time the game went to halftime the Tigers led 28-0 and Immokalee players were hanging their heads as they went into the locker room.
"We knew if we could come out and start fast we'd have success," Palmetto coach Dave Marino said. "We knew the template for beating them was to have success on the ground and limit their opportunities on offense and that's what we did."
After Palmetto added another score on its first drive of the second half to make it 35-0, the Indians finally started to show signs of life.
The defense was smothering, Johnson and running back Jacky Marcellus were connecting in the passing game, and the capacity crowd finally came to life.
After an 82-yard touchdown reception by Marcellus and a touchdown run by D'Ernest Johnson, Immokalee cut the lead to 35-14 with 4:45 left in the third.
It turned out to be too little, too late as dropped passes and penalties slowed the comeback, and Palmetto used its drives to run out the clock.
Marcellus played one of the best games in his high school career, catching seven passes for 191 yards and a touchdown while also returning a kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
"If everyone would have played like Jacky, we probably would have had a different outcome," Ackley said. "He played great tonight."
Tshumbi Johnson was harassed by the Tigers defense all night, and completed just three of his first 10 passes. He also was sacked seven times and finished with minus-17 yards rushing. Thanks to a strong second half, he finished 9-of-22 passing for 243 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions.
The Indians expect to return nearly all of their impact players next year, and Ackley said he hopes the team can learn from this year's run.
"Our core will be back and we made a deep run this year," Ackley said. "Hopefully with another offseason, we can get better and make a run again next year."

"I've introduced Gold & Silver foil adding another element along with the ink in these new works. There is something incredibly freeing working with ink... I'm in the moment, the works are energetic and spontaneous allowing my intuitive inspiration to flow through me, expressed through quick gestural strokes from ink beaker onto paper. It is one of the most freeing feelings to trust what will flow when you allow it."

Vancouver is a multi-cultural place that is also known as Hongcouver. It has its own unique history and culture that defines its name. But what does that represent about Hong Kong people? How can one learn about two cultures at the same time? Double Sided is a collection of works that addresses some of these questions. Through creating works with two sides, Anthia promotes the importance of understanding and learning one's identity by revealing some Chinese people's and her personal stories about being a Chinese Canadian. All works are handcrafted and are produced with print making as the main medium. The layering technique is what Anthia has been doing for her own understanding of her identity.

Re: DS 3D...horrible!
I love my 3DS! So far I've played SF4 and RR. Can't wait for Resident Evil later this year.
Day 1 the 3D effect took some getting used to and by the end of the day, my eyes were slightly more tired than usual (but I've not gamed on a handheld for years anyway so might have been the smaller screen). Other than that I had no problems with it.
Day 2 I found the 3D a lot easier to focus on. Either my eyes were more used to it, less tired or I got used to hold the screen better. Or all 3.
Day 3 and I have no issues with it at all. The only thing I can say is for whatever reason, I can't tolerate the 3D slider above 50% (which it does say to use as a starting point to get used to the effect in the manual) and for RR I have to turn it down to about 20% (which was mentioned in one of the reviews that they had to do it also).
Other than that, I can't wait to put some more time into it... its real easy to just pick up and put down.

2014 Fed 100
Name: Victor Hernandez
Title: Director of Program Management, Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems
Agency: Department of the Army
IT funding champion. Given the steep spending cuts under sequestration, getting Congress to authorize more money for non-combat budget items at the Defense Department would seem to be an impossible task. Yet Hernandez persuaded lawmakers to provide more than $173 million for the Army to take the initial steps toward a cross-DOD network that will eventually save more than $600 million. His efforts are paying dividends for the military, but his impact doesn't stop there. "He has furthered the IT community by sharing innovative grassroots acquisition and business practices," said Doug Wiltsie, the Army's program executive officer for enterprise information systems.

Heparin binding protein in patients with acute respiratory failure treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (filgrastim) – a prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind study
1 Intensive Care Unit, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland

3 Department of Clinical Sciences, Division of Infection Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden

5 Department of Clinical Sciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
BMC Infectious Diseases 2013, 13:51 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-13-51Published: 30 January 2013
Heparin Binding Protein (HBP) is released to blood circulation from activated neutrophils in bacterial infections. It is a potential inducer of vascular leakage and precludes the development of septic shock. Filgrastim induces the production of new neutrophils and modulates their bacterial-killing activity. We evaluated the effect of filgrastim on HBP –concentrations in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure.
59 critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure were included in this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of filgrastim 300 micrograms/day or corresponding placebo for 7 days. Plasma samples were drawn on baseline, day 4 and day 7. HBP –concentrations, absolute leukocyte and neutrophil counts were measured.
The median [IQR] HBP concentrations were 23.6 ng/ml [13.9-43.0 ng/ml], 25.1 ng/ml [17.7-35.5 ng/ml] and 15.9 ng/ml [12.6-20.7 ng/ml] in patients receiving filgrastim on baseline, day 4 and day 7, respectively. The HBP concentrations in placebo group were 21.6 ng/ml [16.9-28.7 ng/ml], 13.9 ng/ml [12.0-19.5 ng/ml] and 17.8 ng/ml [13.6-20.9 ng/ml]. At day 4, the filgrastim group had significantly higher HBP –concentrations when compared to placebo group (p < 0.05). No correlation between HBP –concentrations and absolute neutrophil count or P/F –ratios was found.
Filgrastim treatment is associated with increased circulating HBP levels compared to placebo, but the absolute neutrophil count or the degree of oxygenation failure did not correlate with the observed plasma HBP –concentrations.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 Fiat Abarth 1000 OTR coupe
Between 1949 and 1971, Abarth was the name to be feared in the world of small-displacement racing. Carlo Abarth's cars captured 5,000 outright or class victories, which helped to sell a lot of highly-tuned Fiats, such as this 1967 Fiat Abarth 1000 OTR for sale on Hemmings.com. Based on the exquisitely styled Fiat 850 Coupe, the 1000 OTR could buzz along at better than 100 MPH, wringing 74 horsepower from its 982cc four-cylinder. The "OT" in the name stands for Omologato Turismo, or homologated for touring car racing, while the "R" refers to the Radiale engine, which had a special cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers. (A driveReport on a 1967 1000 OTR Coupe appeared in the March 2008 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car.) From the seller's description:
This Abarth OTR 1000 Coupe has complete ownership history. It was original sold through Henry Mearig Inc., the Lancaster, Pennsylvania dealer for Alfa and Fiat. Purchased by John Mitchell and employee of Henry Mearig, Inc., John started racing his Abarth soon after its purchase. The Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association has records of John Mitchell competing in his FIAT Abarth from 1967 to 1970. Subsequently it was in an accident one evening on his way home, the Abarth was set aside for many years.
In 1977, the Abarth was purchased by Brian Hershock of Holtwood, Pennsylvania. Soon thereafter and still in need of restoration, the Abarth found its way Henry Mearig in 1980. Mr. Mearig still owned the local Fiat dealership.
Charles (Chuck) A. Callis and Janice M. Callis of Manheim, Pennsylvania, purchased the car from Henry Mearig around 1990. Chuck was general manager of Henry Mearig Inc. Chuck started restoring the car before it was sold in November 1992 to Jim Saunders of Sydney, Australia.
Once on Australian shores, it once again sat for many years until it purchased by Graeme Towers in April 2005. At this time, the Abarth was stripped to bare metal for a complete and thorough restoration. Having spent well over $100k on its restoration, the outcome can only be viewed as superb. The Abarth ran for the first time in 38 years on 16 September 2006 and was registered on 7 October 2006. It has been used sparingly since and remains in absolutely superb condition throughout.
Location: Huntington Station, New York
Status: No Longer Available

Four-Links – Jaray's Audi, first fiberglass Jeep, on colorized photos, twin-turbo Fiat
* While recently attending a car show in the U.K., Heath Scotchford of The Petrol Stop came across the above replica of the "Ugly Duckling" Audi, a car notable not just for its ravishing good looks, but for its designer, famed aerodynamicist Paul Jaray.
* How soon into the United States's involvement in World War II were we thinking about so-called victory cars? Fairly soon, as we see from this photo of a fiberglass-bodied Bantam/Jeep-based station wagon envisioned as a no-frills post-war car from March 1942, which Geoff at Forgotten Fiberglass recently posted.
* Colorized black-and-white photos are all the rage today, but as Paleofuture recently wrote, they're also likely to distort how we perceive history.
* Thanks to Engine Swap Depot, we see what a Fiat 126 with a twin-turbo Holden 5.0L V-8 looks like. Pure awesome, that's what.
* Spindizzies weren't just popular here in the United States; Italians loved them too, as we see from Ferrari Magazine's recent look at them.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1969 Fiat 500 Giardiniera
The concept behind Fiat's latest 500 variant for the United States market, the plus-sized 500L, is nothing new. Three years after the original Fiat 500 debuted in 1957, the Italian automaker introduced the 500 K, also known as the Giardiniera (Italian for "gardener"), a station wagon version for those needing just a bit more utility from their urban commuter car. So beloved was the Giardiniera that Fiat built the car for 15 years, eventually handing off manufacturing to Autobianchi. This 1969 Fiat 500 Giardiniera for sale on Hemmings.com is one of those built by Autobianchi in Desio, Italy, and it sports a retractable cloth top for open-air motoring. The current owner describes the car as a 10-footer that runs and drives, but could use a bit of rust repair to the floors. For those looking for a unique and somewhat practical restoration project, with an Italian flare, "Paolo" may be just the amico you've been seeking. From the seller's description:
We are lightening our load and decided to sell our 500 wagon. His name is Paolo. He is a runner/driver. 10 footer. Everything works. Floors have some rust but we have new floor boards included, not installed.
Currently registered and we drive only every so often. But he starts every time!

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1972 Fiat 124 Spider
Though Fiat 124 Spiders are not exactly uncommon in the Hemmings classifieds, many are high-mileage cars painted red that need a bit of TLC to return to road-worthiness. If you've got a taste for an affordable open-air Italian automobile, tastefully sprayed in a medium metallic blue, this 1972 Fiat 124 Spider for sale on Hemmings.com may be just what you've been looking for. It's racked up some enthusiastic use over the years, including the occasional track day, but the seller says it's never been crashed and was previously owned by an automotive engineer. It comes complete with service records, documentation and a single-axle open trailer, but some assembly will be required to return the car to vintage track-day-toy status. From the seller's description:
How many blue Spiders have you seen? Originally navy blue, now medium blue metallic with a tan interior and a black cloth top. Tasteful pin striping. One automotive engineer owner from new. Continuously maintained by owner. Ziebarted when new. Stored winters. All original body panels, no significant rust. Never crashed. Original paperwork, owners manual, service manual, and parts manual.
This is not a show/garage queen. It has been used with care and respect through its life. The paint looks OK from 10 feet but has some bubbles. These are not rust bubbles but just spots where the paint has lifted from the surface. Driven for fun, business, and in mild competition. Full interior trim, including custom sheepskin seat covers. Interior is slightly faded in some areas but has no cuts or tears. Top is in good shape but faded – does not leak. Rear window is clear. Roll bar & 6 point competition seat belts.
Partially disassembled, but easily rebuilt to functional status. Lightened, balanced, and blueprinted original engine – currently apart. Many upgrades and modifications – send for a complete list. Many spares, including body parts, engines, transmission, rear end – from two scrapped cars. Send for a list. Single axle open trailer included with sale.
This is a solid original car that is looking for a new, sympathetic owner.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1974 Fiat 500R
Anybody looking for a "car of the people" from across the Atlantic will certainly have choices. British car fans will gravitate to the classic Mini, German car fans will be drawn to the Volkswagen Beetle and French motoring aficionados will swear by (and often, at) their beloved Citroen 2CV. Fans of Italian design, however, will be drawn to the diminutive Fiat 500. Though the name is once again familiar to North American buyers, the original Fiat 500 was a fraction of the current car's near comically small size. Original Fiat 500 models aren't exactly common on these shores, either, as Fiat stopped importing them into the United States shortly after the 500D model launched in 1960.
This 1974 Fiat 500R for sale on Hemmings.com hits many of the right buttons. It's described as "rust free," eliminating one serious concern with original Cinquecento models, and all the electrical components are reportedly functional, too. Its interior has been redone, the 600cc engine is tuned, and even the heater is working. As the seller tells it, however, the car needs a repaint (with better prep work) to go from driver to show car status. From the seller's description:
I bought this Fiat 500R to completely restore. The body had no rust issues. The engine ran, but it needed some TLC as did the interior. I finished out the interior (see pictures); it looks great. I serviced the engine put new oil, wires, points, plugs, cap and more. The 500R cars have the larger 600cc engines. I ordered a new heater shroud for the engine. Now the heater works perfect. The engine runs great! The brakes work great. The tires are nearly new. Everything works as it should, wipers, lights, horn, turn signals etc. I would trust the car to drive anywhere but on the interstate! Fiat 500s are not made to drive on interstates.
The car looks good at 10 feet, but when you get close you can see grind and sand marks. If you are going to just drive the car, then don't worry about it. If you are going to show the car, you will want to paint it.

Four-Links – Toronado styling, electric BMW, Seagrave's car, monster Fiat replica
* Over on Dean's Garage, GM stylist Dick Ruzzin shared his memories – and some photos and sketches – from the genesis of the Oldsmobile Toronado, which was designed and developed alongside the Buick Riviera and Cadillac Eldorado and which apparently took inspiration from the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2.
* While experimentation with EVs has been ongoing in pretty much every automotive era, the late 1980s isn't generally known as a golden age of electric vehicles, yet as Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked pointed out, it's when BMW developed and built a handful of electric 325iXs for testing purposes.
* Yes, indeed, Seagrave – the fire apparatus company – considered building a fiberglass-bodied car in the early 1960s. Geoff Hacker at Forgotten Fiberglass found a 1961 Car Life article with the dirt on the tiny but well-proportioned car.
* Yes, those are two adult men behind Duncan Pittaway's massive Fiat S76 replica project, a 1,729-cu.in. four-cylinder monster that Duncan plans to run in Belgium at up to 132 MPH this December. The Old Motor's got more on the project.
* Finally, over on Modern Mechanix, a September 1955 Popular Mechanics article on a Le Sabre-inspired dream car, apparently a Spohn-bodied custom Chevrolet.
An overlooked and poorly branded classic – the Fiat Dino Spider
Photo by David LaChance.
Fiat introduced the Dino Spider in 1966 at the Turin Motor Show and the Fiat Dino Coupe a year later at the Geneva Motor Show.
The 2-liter V-6 engine was designed by Ferrari and produced 158hp using a five-speed manual transmission. This same engine was used in the Ferrari Dino 206, although the engines were produced by Fiat.
The Dino Spider body was designed and made by Pininfarina, and the Coupe was designed and made by Bertone. Later, a 2.4-liter version of the Fiat Dino was introduced and Ferrari manufactured this car on the same production line as the Ferrari Dino 246 GT.
There were 1,989 Dino Spiders made, and there were 5,814 Dino Coupes made between 1966 and 1972.
I think that the Dino Spider can lay claim to being a Ferrari, especially the 2.4-liter version, as much as a Dino 246 GT. The problem is that it has already been branded a Fiat.
Photos by Mike Gulett.
The Dino 246 GT was not branded a Ferrari but has become accepted as a Ferrari with some owners incorrectly putting the Ferrari script logo on the back of the car. It is difficult to accept the Fiat Dino as a Ferrari with the Fiat name all over the car even though they were both designed by Ferrari engineers, styled by Pininfarina and manufactured by Ferrari.
The current market value for a Fiat Dino 2.4-liter Spider is about one-third that of the "Ferrari" Dino 246 GTS. The value of the brand name is clear in this value ratio between what would be two cars of essentially equal value if they both were called Ferrari – or if the Fiat Dino did not have the Fiat brand and they both were just Dino.
The beautiful car shown here is a 1967 Fiat Dino Spider and was photographed at a Northern California car show in 2011.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1969 Fiat Shellette
Summer can't come soon enough, especially not now that we've seen this 1969 Fiat Shellette for sale on Hemmings.com, a perfect car for cruising the beaches and soaking up the warm weather. What it's doing up north here is anybody's guess, but it's ready to go as soon as the short-sleeve shirts come back out. From the seller's description:
One of only 80 "Shellettes" built in Torino, Italy. One of 10 known to exist. An actual New Hampshire barn find, spring of 2012. I purchased this Shellette from the original owner, who was a personal friend of Phillip Schell "Shellette." Built by the prestigious Giovanni Michelotti coach builders in Torino, Italy. The Shellette is built on a Fiat 850 Spider/Coupe sport foundation. A 4 cyl 850 liquid-cooled rear engine and a 4 speed transmission. The Shellette has a wood Nardi steering wheel and a working heater with blower. The wicker seats and full wicker dashboard were woven by the old world craftsman who made the Rolls Royce wicker picnic baskets. With 16,000KM / 9,900 original miles, this Shellette is in incredible condition, no rust or body damage. The Shellette runs virtually perfect …. Starts and cruises without a sputter. I have just completed an interior update with natural sisal carpeting trim and custom coco mats. The old canvas duck top has just been replaced with a beautiful blue and white stripe Sunbrella top with Tenax German snaps and comes with a complete set of padded seat covers. The original owner completed a repaint in 1991.
The Shellettes were originally purchased by the Italian elite, who carried them on their yachts, and used them as beach cars when berthed at the French and Italian Riviera and Mediterranean islands. Jackie and Aristotle Onassis used one on the island of Skorpios.
The Shellette has attended five auto shows since spring of 2012, including the just recent by-invitation-only Hemmings New England Concours d'Elegance in Saratoga Springs, New York. This car is a "Show Stopper"

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1933 Fiat 508S Balilla
Unfortunately, it's not known whether this 1933 Fiat 508S Balilla Mille Miglia Spyder for sale on Hemmings.com actually competed in the event it's named for, but the seller of this competition variant of the 508, still fitted with its original SIATA engine, seems to know just about everything else about the car, including its complete ownership history. From the seller's description:
This is one of just a handful of pure competition versions built in early 1933 primarily to compete in that year's Mille Miglia. This is a completely original example with full records and documentation from new. All matching numbers with verifiable records going back to the original owner. This FIAT still retains her ultra-rare SIATA OHV engine, Weber Carburetor, 12-volt Magnetti Marelli ignition system, full-four-wheel hydraulic brakes and four-speed gearbox. The second owner was the Comirato family, one of Italy's most famous racing teams. Alberto Comirato entered and raced the Mille Miglia 9 different times! His wife, Lia Comirato Dumas was an equally well known racer and would shortly after the war be honored with the informal title of "Queen of the Mille Miglia" in honor of her many, many entries in the1930s as well as after the war entries which saw her entered and racing in the Mille Miglia no few than 8 different times! 100% of the original and ultra-sexy alloy and steel Carrozzeria GHIA Coachwork remains fitted without any sign of accident or rust. All services are current and complete and this amazing pre-war racer is ready for all events, rallies, tours, races world-wide. With better proportions, handling and braking than any pre-war Bugatti or Alfa Romeo and the added advantage of hydraulic brakes and a full competition suspension system, this FIAT is a driver's delight.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1937 Fiat 500A
Incomplete restoration projects can often be more trouble than they're worth, but this 1937 Fiat 500A for sale on Hemmings.com has its body and paint work completed and rolls, which gives it a leg up on other such half-done projects, particularly for those who prefer the mechanical aspect of restorations over the body/paint aspect. From the seller's description:
We are selling this first series 1937 Fiat Topolino for the estate of the last owner. This early Coupecar is roughly half way through restoration with paint work done, seats and door panels upholstered, engine and transmission installed, it is on its wheels and is a pusher. The car seems very solid with no obvious signs of rust in the body or chassis. There appear to be enough parts to complete the restoration along with many spares including two engines and transmissions, extra starters,generators,an extra radiator and much more. We have not done a complete inventory or attempted to start the car but wish to sell it "as-is". Please note there are many more parts than shown in the pictures because of limited space.

MINERVA Kings School squeaked by Minerva-Newcomb in last Fridays boys varsity basketball action. John Marsicovetere of Kings School was a force to be reckoned with as he carried the Kings with 25 of the game-winning 51 points. Kevin Yandon and Devin Tokarz fought-back with 17 and 8 points respectively, but it just wasnt enough to carry the team to victory. Kings school started strong in the first half with 29 points to Minerva-Newcombs 24 at the buzzer. Minerva-Newcomb recovered well in the third quarter but couldnt keep the momentum as Kings School carried the game with a final of 51-46.

Well, here's the truth: all agencies are basically the same.
Everyone will tell you that creative comes first. They'll say that their work is grounded in Solid Strategic Thinking™. They all say they don't focus on awards but that they can never find time to dust the trophy case #humblebrag. Everyone has the relaxed, pet-friendly workplace culture. Our offices are all overrun with dogs, cats, chickens, children, and turtles. And yet nothing ever poops on our carpets! Yes, life at every agency is a magical utopia.
And, yes, we all come up with amazing ideas.
And, yes, we all come up with some real stinkers. Please do not look in our recycling bins.
Yep, all that applies to us. And them. We really are 99% identical.
What makes up the difference? Consistency.
Despite being mostly the same, not every agency builds relationships to create compatible clients, finds hidden gems to hire, or consistently produces breakthrough work that moves the bottom line.
Every. Single. Time.
Now here's the part where you either call baloney or
decide to join us on the spot: that consistency?
It comes from saying NO.

Frustrated residents protest outside NY utilityBy MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press | November 11,2012
Volunteers knock on doors at the Sand Castle houses to provide food and supplies to residents who continue to live without power in the Far Rockaways section of the Queens borough of New York, Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012. Despite power returning to many neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, residents of the Far Rockaways continue to live without power and heat due to damage caused by Superstorm Sandy.(AP Photo/John Minchillo)NEW YORK Even as the lights came for many who lost power in New York and New Jersey during the superstorm and a later noreaster, hundreds of residents protested Saturday outside a Long Island utility, frustrated by its slow response to outages.
Power restoration has been slower there than in other areas hit by Superstorm Sandy, sparking criticism of the Long Island Power Authority. Some of the 130,000 blacked out homes and businesses the utility serves may not have power restored until the end of Tuesday, LIPA said.
In the rest of the region hardest hit by the storm, most service was expected to be restored by the end of the weekend, though that doesnt include tens of thousands of homes too damaged to juice up.
We are sitting in a cold house. No one comes by, said John Mangin of Levittown, N.Y. There should be criminal charges against the CEO and the executive board of LIPA for failure to do their jobs.
He was among about 300 people staging a rally in front of LIPAs office in Hicksville, N.Y. Not all were without power, but some who have power said they were there to protest LIPAs lack of communication.
LIPA chief operating officer Michael Hervey said they were aware customers havent gotten the information theyve needed from the utility, partly because of an outdated information technology system theyre in the process of updating.
I certainly feel the frustration of customers whose power remains out. Our hearts go out to them, Hervey said.
But he said workers are repairing unprecedented storm damage as fast as they can. About 6,400 linemen and 3,700 tree trimmers are at work, compared with 200 linemen on a normal day.
In Suffolk County, where about 28,000 remain without power, County Executive Steven Bellone announced he was cutting ties with LIPA and would deal directly with substation coordinators.
Hervey said he would not comment on that directly, but added that an ad hoc takeover of the system would lead to anarchy.
The utility is the best suited to restore power and manage that, he said. We cant have people step in and take over.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has called for investigation of the regions utilities, criticizing them as unprepared and badly managed. On Friday, two congressmen from Long Island called for the federal government to help LIPA restore electricity.
Its a totally disorganized effort, and LIPA unfortunately seems to have lost control of the situation and thats why you see so many people becoming so angry, Rep. Peter King said Saturday.
In New York City and neighboring suburban Westchester County, utility Con Edison said it has restored electricity to 98 percent of homes and businesses. About 20,000 of the utilitys customers remained powerless, down from a peak of more than 1 million.
In New Jersey, more than 100,000 customers were without power Saturday, most along the coast, utilities said. That was down from 2.7 million at the height of the storm. Most were expected to have power by the end of the weekend.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Earlier this year, Hillary Rodham Clintons campaign lost count of its experts.

Finest known 1800 JR-1 Dime, AU581800 10C AU58 PCGS. CAC. JR-1, R.4. Central obverse and reverse details are bold and exceptional, with minor peripheral weakness evident on the stars, drapery, and clouds. Both sides have brilliant, frosty silver luster with light to medium gold, rose, and blue toning over ivory surfaces.
Die State. The obverse has a number of die rust chips and other defects, including a die dot between the 1 and 8, and rust marks just above the shoulder.
Condition Census. Several nice AU examples exist, with the present piece at the top of the list. Our consignor considers this piece to be the only Mint State JR-1 dime in existence.
Appearances. Plated in the 2002 Bowers and Merena catalog.
Obverse Die. The date is wide with the 1 far from the curl, and the final 0 nearly joined to the drapery. Star 1 is smaller than the other stars, and is distant from the hair curls. Stars 7 and 13 are equally close to L and the drapery, and star 8 is quite close to the Y. LIBERTY is widely spaced with LI slightly closer than other letters, and TY slighter farther than other letters. B is slightly high.
State a. Perfect die, may not exist. State b. Extensive die rust is visible, including above Liberty's shoulder.
Reverse Die. Star 12 is separated from the eagle's beak, diagnostic for the date. The reverse has 13 stars with six in the top row. Star 12 joins the scroll over the left top of the U, and nearly touches the lower beak. All letters in the legend are separated, with ME extremely close. The outside arrow ends under the right curve of the U in UNITED. A leaf is solidly joined to the right base of I.
State a. Always with the heavy break from the second feather to the border that developed on 1798 JR-4.
Heritage Commentary. Struck immediately after 1798 JR-4 with the same reverse break that appears on late states of that variety. It is likely that the deliveries of March 25 and 26, 1800, consisted of both 1798 JR-4 dimes and 1800 JR-1 dimes.
Consignor Commentary. This is the finest JR-1 I have seen, and I was surprised to see it graded AU58 as I believe it is Mint State. All other known Mint State 1800 dimes are from the JR-2 die combination. While there are other 1800 JR-1 dimes in AU58 holders, none are nearly as nice as this piece. The dime book states: "Probably not more than five are MS60 or better. Finest seen is MS60 in dealer's stock." I have never seen or heard of any Mint State pieces, and I doubt that any exist, other than the present example.
Provenance. Bowers and Merena (9/2002), lot 191.

In his first press conference surrounding heated budget and debt ceiling talks in Congress, President Obama called for tax hikes on the wealthiest Americans while demonizing the oil and gas industry, accusing republicans of being unwilling to touch "sacred cows," but mentioned entitlement reform, (championed by Republican Paul Ryan) must be tackled to close the deficit. Obama said he has been leading on debt talks and that Congress needs to do their end of the job by making tough choices.
"If everybody else is willing to take on their sacred cows," he said. "Then I think it would be hard for republicans to stand there and say a tax break for corporate jets is sufficiently so important that we aren't willing to come to the table to get a job done."
Obama said his administration is reviewing government regulations that hinder entrepreneurship, adding he is working with the private sector to spur job grown but slammed business owners as "wanting to do whatever they want to gain maximum profits."
"The business community is always complaining about regulations," he said.
On the issue of job growth, the President again tried to sell the idea that the government creates jobs.
"Congress could send me a bill right now that would put construction workers back on the job," he said.
Obama also claimed he has spent the past two years cutting taxes and that it is time for wealthy Americans, CEO's and the oil and gas industry to pay their fair share.
"As of last week, both parties had identified more than $1 trillion in spending cuts," he said. "We can't get to the more than $4 trillion in deficit by cutting."
"I think it's only fair to ask an oil company or private jet owner, who have done so well, to give a little more."
Obama also called for cuts to the defense budget and a look at the budget as a whole from Congress. He addressed the possibility of the debt ceiling deadline being extended yet again.
"We've given markers," he said. "For the first time in history the United States may not be able to pay our bills."
Obama laughed off the republican idea of paying off the interest on the U.S. debt as a way to avoid default rather than raising the debt ceiling. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the same thing this morning.
"I'm the President of the United States not running off of scare tactics," he said.
Outside of the budget, Obama addressed Libya, the Afghanistan troop withdrawal, immigration reform, Operation Fast and Furious, the DREAM Act, same-sex marriage and the refusal of attorneys in his Justice Department to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act based on his belief the law is unconstitutional.
"I didn't use victory in my West Point speech either. What I said was we can be successful," he said when asked why the word victory was not used in his Afghanistan troop withdrawal speech last week. "It is in our national interest we do not have a collapse of Afghanistan."
Gay Marriage
Obama said gays should be "treated like all Americans."
Operation Fast and Furious
"The investigation is still pending and I'm not going to comment on a pending investigation"
"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment on the investigation if it is not completed."

I still have feelings for him. Why would he say all these things to me then basically act like it never happened?
So I accidentally texted my ex the night of St.Patrick's Day and we started talking. This is the first time for probably a month. We broke up in... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
He replied like that because he was embarrassed about the previous night. Especially the way you said he was drunk and frisky - he knew he wasn't very drunk, and he probably does still like you. But you made him embarrassed so he tried to just use short replies to still tell you how he felt - he said maybe he was a little frisky, which means he was trying to tell you he was serious about what he said last night. In my opinion he's not a jerk; he's just embarrassed, especially because of the way you confronted him about it, making it seem like you're assuming what he said wasn't from the heart. Hope this helped, and good luck :)
Even though he's probably not a jerk, there's always a reason for a breakup, so it's probably better just to try to forget him.
Okay thank you for your answer!
No problem :)
What Guys Said 2
So, who gives a sh*t? That's the attitude that you need to take if you want to get over this. Don't ponder why he did this or why he did that? Maybe, he just wanted to f*** with you one last time, but it doesn't f***ing matter because you are better off without him.Thus, it doesn't matter.
Pretty much this.
I just want some sort of answer though! It drives me insane.
It's still driving you insane; I'm assuming you want some closure. First, I'm not a mentalist so I don't know what the guy is thinking; however, he denys it because he changed his mind. He doesn't want you. So, move on now!
What Girls Said 1
Why would he say all these things to me then basically act like it never happened?: you've already answered that -> "cause clearly he is a jerk!"
Now, just let go of this, and don't contact him anymore at all. Even if you accidentally do or if he did, ignore and don't respond at all. If it's really affecting you and if you have the guts, delete most of his contact. It helps. Moreover, quit thinking about what he thinks. Say what if he gets a new girlfriend now? What if he has a new crush? So, what can you do about it should all these happen? You still gotta move on with life. Does it help if you still like him in this case? Not at all, and in fact, he doesn't care regardless of what he says you to you.
Do what you couldn't do when you were in a relationship right now. It's easier said than done, but be tougher and stronger than that! We can only help you if you are willing to help yourself. x
Have an opinion?

|Criterion A
|The design of this central pivoting, swing bridge was a innovative solution to the problem of a bridge over a shallow waterway. Only one other bridge of a similar design was constructed in Australia. Victoria Bridge is also held in high regard because it has been a feature of the townscape and played a major part in the development of the city for over one hundred years.
|Criterion B
|Only one other bridge of a similar design was constructed in Australia.
|Criterion F
|The design of this central pivoting, swing bridge was a innovative solution to the problem of a bridge over a shallow waterway.
|Criterion G
|Victoria Bridge is also held in high regard because it has been a feature of the townscape and played a major part in the development of the city for over one hundred years.
|Apart from Victoria Bridge, built in 1888-89, the only other metal girder swing bridge constructed in Australia was the smaller one at Leith in Tasmania, built in 1884. Tenders were called by the Department of Works, Bridges Branch, on 25 September 1885 for the Townsville structure. A tender submitted by G.H. Royce & Co. of Sydney was accepted at a cost of £18,868. The approaches were constructed by Robertson & Stein and cost £1,780. It was opened to traffic on 2 July 1889 and saw active service until 1975. The innovative design of a swing bridge pivoting on a central drum was an unusual method of allowing river traffic to pass up shallow Ross Creek. The central swing allowed large ships to pass through in the deeper, left hand channel, while smaller craft could take the shallower right lane. During the years after the bridge was opened the commercial centre of Townsville expanded and the warehouse district was gradually confined closer to the mouth of Ross Creek. Ships were no longer required to move up the creek to unload. By 1924 the swing section had ceased to function because of movement of the central drum. However, vehicular traffic continued to cross for another fifty years. The bridge had seriously deteriorated by the 1980s and was threatened with demolition, until 1988 when it was leased by the Townsville City Council to a developer. Conservation work was undertaken as part of the re-development. A new superstructure of shops was built onto and around the existing fabric and the approaches to the bridge and the banks were landscaped. The kiosks installed along the northern bank are now a favourite meeting place for the community.
|Victoria Bridge was originally one of only two metal girder, swing bridges in Australia. It was an all steel structure except for wooden decking. A central drum, from which the central span swung open, housed the gas, free piston Otto engine. A row of modern shops has been built along its length, with a restaurant under the eastern end of the structure. An office is located beneath the western end. Although the swing span no longer moves, the bridge is structurally sound. The gas engine was removed and in 1991 was mounted at the city end. The addition of a modern superstructure of shops and the removal of the approaches has substantially altered the visual aspect.

I am developing an app that should have similar functionalities as the game in the appStore Ace Card (now is called Casino). If you have your app in the background for a while or you lose your connection when you activate the game again this one starts from the beginning. If you still do not have a connection your application will not continue.
My app needs to retrieve some information from my server, and send some other information to the server, so if the device does not have a network connections or loses it there is no point to do anything or being in the middle of the app.
- How can I check for connection?
- How can I go back to the first ViewController and reset all its fields?
Thanks in advance.

Marble AND GRANITE CARE Origins and uses
The word "marble" has been derived from the Greek word "marmaros," which means "shining stone." The term marble is loosely applied to any limestone or dolomite that takes a good polish and is otherwise suitable as a building stone or ornamental stone. Marbles range in color from snow-white to gray and black, many varieties being some shade of red, yellow, pink, green, or buff. The colors, which are caused by the presence of impurities, are frequently arranged in bands or patches and add to the beauty of the stone when it is cut and polished.
Marble is used as a material in statues and monuments (e.g. tombstones), as a facing stone in buildings and residences, and for pillars, panelling and floor tiles. Like all limestones, it is corroded by Water and Acid Fumes and is thus ultimately an uneconomical material for use in exposed places and in large cities. The presence of certain impurities decreases its durability.
Many of the world's most famous sculptures are made of the prized white marbles, which are relatively soft and uniform in composition.
White marbles, like Carrara, have been prized for sculpture since classical times. This preference has to do with the softness and relative isotropy and homogeneity, and a relative resistance to shattering. Also, the low index of refraction of calcite allows light to penetrate several millimeters into the stone before being scattered out, resulting in the characteristic "waxy" look which gives "life" to marble sculptures of the human body.
Pure white marble is the result of metamorphism of very pure limestones. The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone. These various impurities have been mobilized and recrystallized by the intense pressure and heat of the metamorphism.
Ground marble is used in products such as some papers and paints and in toothpaste (listed as calcium carbonate).
Marble works beautifully especially in the bath where the veining patterns and colors can create exquisite designs. However, it is sensitive to acidic foods such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes and wine. Therefore, marble is less durable in highly utilized areas e.g. Kitchen tops and bathroom tops.
Marble is porous; if untreated, oils will stain it easily. In maintaining Marble surfaces, avoid any acidic or abrasive cleaners that can dull or etch the surface over time. Cleaning should be done with mild soap and water. Marble can also be sealed to help prevent the absorption of stains into the stone.
Maldini Marbles is the foremost Marbles and Granite Company in Nigeria and they have offices in major cities all over the country.

Life got crazy busy around the time Exodus: Gods and Kings came out, and frankly I found the movie itself kind of dispiriting, so I haven't been as up-to-date with the links and things as I would have liked to have been. But I hope to do a bit of catching up in the next little while, before the film fades entirely from view.
First up, some links to the interviews that director Ridley Scott and co-stars Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton did with the "faith-based" media. Exodus may be the first major Bible production since The Passion of the Christ for which I wasn't able to snag an interview myself, but a few of my colleagues got to speak to the filmmakers after the film's New York premiere.

John Havlicek says Paul Pierce is the best one-on-one player of all Celtics
Sep 8, 2013, 8:00 PM EDT
Paul Pierce has solidified his position as one of the all-time greatest Celtics, having finished his 15-year career in Boston at or near the top of the team's leader board in most of the major statistical categories.
Pierce is the team leader in three-pointers made and attempted and free throws made and attempted, and is top-three in field goals made and attempted.
That's a lot of historically great offense created while playing for one of the game's most storied franchises, and another of the team's best to ever wear the jersey, John Havlicek, believes that Pierce was the team's best one-on-one player of all time.
From Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe:
Havlicek said Pierce ranks highly among the Celtics' greats.
"That's what free agency does, it doesn't allow you to have that continuity," Havlicek said about Pierce's departure. "We never made a trade in 10 years (with the Celtics) and all the people remained the same. It's a lot different today but I wish him well. He's one of the best all-around players and the thing I marveled at was his one-on-one ability. I think he's the best one-on-one player of all Celtics."
Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and even Havlicek himself — Boston's leading scorer in franchise history — all have legitimate cases to stake their claim to that title.
But there's no question that Pierce's ability to score or get to the line with the ball in his hands is special, and worthy of consideration among those all-time, Hall of Fame greats.

Bird may have something to say about that.

Bird was fundamentally sound, not necessarily an isolation type player.

Reggie Lewis was also great at getting his own shot.

He (Reggie) was. Just too bad his career and life was so short. Or Hondo may be saying this about him.

1) Dee Brown
2) Eric Montross
3) Dino Radja
Hands down. This is not even an argument. Take it as fact.

Pierce might have been the best one-on-one player of all Celtics over his career, but if Pierce and Bird ever went one-on-one for the title, Bird would beat him. That's the thing about Bird: He wanted it more.
