Once again instead of admitting to the Giants being just as guilty of all sorts of misgivings off the field as any other team, they point the finger at the Jets and like to act like it never happens in Giant Shangri-La.
Hey, I know the Jets have... and have had... players who get in trouble. But I don't go around thinking that my team is morally better or more classy than anyone elses like most of the Giant fans that visit this board. Every team has their problem players including the Giants.
At this point If the Devils can't land Doan for a 2/3 year deal and they decide to go the free agent route, I would rather see them get younger talent. Not sure if these guys are off the market yet but they are interesting FA to look at.
Bobby Butler RW from Ottowa: 25 years old 16 points in only 56 games
Gilbert Brule Ctr from Nashville: 25 yrs old 14 points in only 33 games
Funny...This coming from someone who was at the helm of some of the worst teams not only in Jets history but in NFL history. Hey Boomer you should have been arrested for stealing over the 5 years of your career the way you played. Looks like that Band Wagon jumping, phony and hypocrite Craig Car-toon is really starting to rub off on him.
I love all the Giants fans that live in their glass house on the top of the hill with blinders on...
Lets see...What do we know about the G-men since June 2012:
Tyler Sash has been suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs
We find out Hakeem Nicks played his final collegiate season at North Carolina while academically ineligible
David Diehl was charged with two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol,
Stay classy Giants...Stay classy.
You can't believe a word that comes out of any of the Mets upper management mouths. Alderson is just a talking head puppet for the Cupons. What the Mets do with Wright will tell it all. If the Mets low ball him and he leaves, I say all Mets fans boycott Citi Field next year and start going to watch the Cyclones.
Because unless they start bringing real talent in, for all intents and purposes thats pretty much what we will be watching in Flushing next year anyway, a minor league team, but just at inflated prices.
If ownership is charging what they do to park, eat, drink and watch that sloppy product that put on the field in a NY market is a joke. I am a Mets fan and I don't mind paying money if I get something in return for it.
I wish the Jets traded this selfish Diva thug in the off season. I...Me...Mine...My That's all you hear from him.
This guy needs to look at the game tapes and see that the reason he was only thrown to twice is because his routes suck and he couldn't adjust to the coverage and get open. That's because all he did was pout and whine to the press about not getting the ball and his own teammates.
And beating the Steelers in the playoffs.
Still no Devils article since 5:00 AM last Saturday. Nice job NJ.com.
Another day same story posted. Are you telling me that nobody on the Star Ledger staff is responsible for coming up with a web article for the only NJ professional sports team on a daily basis?
The Jets and Giants are off right now before training camp starts, but there are still articles for those teams. What a joke.
How about an article on any Devils trade rumors, or how Josefson is doing with his rehab, how Kovies back issue is progressing , the VBK/NHL money situation with owning the the team, info on the Devils resigning all the free agents that they will have next year...ANYTHING!!!
When you write an article called "Why can't the Boy Scouts handle a lesbian or two?" you bring the sexual orientation debate to the table. I can care less what sexual preference anyone has. I have an aunt who is a lesbian and I love her and her partner to death. They watch my kids all the time. This has to do with gay people getting angry with and in some cases attempting to force their way into an organization that is up front on their bylaws of not wanting gay/lesbian members in it. So much so that in some instances it had to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
Weather you agree with the "Don't ask/Don't tell" policy or not...That is the policy... you know that going in.
So as a gay parent keep your children away from the group and explain to them your reasoning behind it. Odds are that if the kids will not want to join after they hear the reason. Then go out and create an organization called the All-Gender Scouts and be done with it.
No articles on NJ.com about the Devils since 5:00 AM last Saturday?? Are all the Devils beat writers on vacation?
At 1 goal and -15 in 43 games Tedenby needs to show Lou, PDB and everyone else alot more before he gets another shot.
The last thing that I want the Devils to do is overpay for Semin. If they can get him at a decent rate 4 years somewhere around 30 million OK. But I would rather see them go after Doan for 2 years. Then rework Elias, Clarkson and Zajac's contracts and give them extensions (All are free agents next year) and go after a big time free agent forward in 2013 when Zubrus comes off the books.
Am I missing something here? It's called the BOY scouts! Go and join the GIRL scouts. This group was created many years ago and had done great things for building a foundation for young teen boys. They have a creed and have set up certain values that they live by for their organization. Who are you to come in and force your life style on another organization? Go start your own scouting group and stay out of other peoples.
I would have been all for this if they didn't sign Janssen. Why sign Janssen if you already have a 4th line set and you planned on signing Barch? As for Semin smartly, Lou and the rest of the GMs are waiting on the new CBA before they sign anyone. Especially a Russian who can bolt to the KHL at the drop of a hat.
The coaching staff should be whoever PDB wants it to be, he is the head coach. He did pretty well with bringing in the players that he wanted in Bernier and Carter. But if not...I would look at Bryan Trottier if he is available.
He always comes back to NJ. See you in 2 years Larry, have fun in California.
Just not against us.
Lou may just be waiting for next years free agent crop to build the team.
Iginla, Hartnell, Getzlaf, Streit, Ribeiro, Gagne, Lapierre, Backstrom, Connolly, Morrow, Fisher, Roy, Penner, Ryder, Weiss, Scuderi, Clarkson, Zajac, Elias, Zubrus and Zidlicky ....all unrestricted next year. Just to name a few.
The Devils should go out and sign Shane Doan to a 2 or 3 year deal before the Rangers do and make him the captain until Henrique is ready.
Of the current Devils Clarkson or Zajac makes the most sense but they are both UFA next year.
This one, no doubt. Parise is home grown talent and every true Devils fan wants to see his number up there next to Elias as the 2nd Devil forward to have his number retired.
Kovie is an awsome talent but when he signed his huge contract everyone knew this day was coming with a big decision for Lou to make on Zach.
We will go through this all over again on a bigger scale next year when Clarkson, Zajac, Elias, Zubrus and Zidlicky all become unrestricted free agents.
If Parise leaves, I like the idea of Doan as well. He can come in and give veteran leadreship as well as points. I also like Andrei Kostitsyn and Kyle Wellwood. 2 of those 3 would make up for Parise's point total and Doan could also fill in the Captain role until Henrique is ready should Elias turn it down again.
If Salvador leaves, the Devils will need to address defense as well. Matt Carle would be nice but on the high end of salary cap. Maybe someone like Foster, Gilroy or Kubina
I like Hedberg as a back up alot but....Two 40 year old goalies taking 6 million of the cap???

ST. GEORGE -- A 98-year-old woman who died Tuesday was being neglected by her primary caregiver, her 60-year-old daughter, police said.
Police were summoned by EMS workers to the East George Street home of Anne Copeland about 6:20 p.m. Monday. The elderly woman was lying in a soiled bed, said St. George Police Lt. Eric Bonnette, commander of the detective division. She had numerous sores, he said.
The house was unheated and filthy, with animal droppings and odors throughout, he said.
"It was cold, but a window in her room was open to let out the smell of the rotting flesh," Bonnette said. Several of her bed sores were open and one on her hip was so bad it had matted to the bedding.
Bonnette said he thinks Copeland had not been turned in bed for more than a week.
"I've been in law enforcement for 17 years and I've been an investigator for about half of that time," Bonnette said. "I investigate a lot of elder abuse cases when I was with the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office. This is the worst case I've ever seen."
There were seven dogs and several cats in the house. There also was a parrot, whose mimicry gave Bonnette a chill when he heard it.
"The parrot was mimicking, 'Help me. Help me.' Then he would laugh," Bonnette said.
"We think he was mimicking the mother when he said, 'Help me. Help me,' and mimicking the daughter when he laughed."
Authorities contacted animal control to remove the animals, Bonnette said.
Copeland was taken by EMS on Monday night to Colleton Medical Center, where she died about 10:50 a.m. Tuesday, Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet said.
The Coroner's Office is investigating her death and an autopsy was planned for today, Nisbet said. The cause of her death has not been determined.
Police arrested Copeland's daughter, Gloria Park Clark of 209 E. George St. and charged her with abuse and neglect resulting in death of a vulnerable adult, Bonnette said. She is scheduled to have a bond hearing today in St. George.
Police had been called to the house in October for a report of elder abuse, Bonnette said. The patrol division investigated the situation at the time and no further action was taken, he said.

Mac enthusiasts won't have far to go to find the latest Apple device, beginning Saturday when MacAuthority opens its first location in East Tennessee at The Mall of Johnson City.
The store will be located in the upper level of the mall next to JCPenney.
"The combination of brands in The Mall at Johnson City play well against the life-enriching and cutting-edge merchandise we offer. We're a regional business, but we represent the hottest worldwide brand in tech," MacAuthority Marketing Director Lucas Leverett said. "We bring a flexible local store carrying Apple products to an already top-notch mall."
Marsha Hammond, marketing director for The Mall at Johnson City, said MacAuthority will not only be a good merchant in the mall but it will also serve the community's Apple-related needs.
"It will definitely serve the demographics that we have here and fits that need. It's something that our merchant base had been lacking and now we're excited to provide it to our shoppers," she said.
The Nashville-based retailer is an authorized Apple Specialist, meaning they will offer everything from the ever-popular iPod and iPad to Mac's full line of desktop computers. The store also specializes in Apple service, maintenance and support. iPhones are not sold through the retailer.
MacAuthority's new location will bring about 25 to 30 new jobs to Johnson City, Leverett said.
As the largest Apple Specialist in the Southeast, Leverett said MacAuthority thrives in markets that emphasize strong local and regional stores over large national chains.
"We do really well in areas where we can understand the community and the market better than a national store, like an Apple Store, would in places that we've identified as being under-served by Apple. This is one of those communities...where we can do well doing something that we know the community is interested in and we can do it in a way that's practical for folks that live there," he said.
MacAuthority will open its doors Saturday at 10 a.m.
The first 100 visitors will receive a limited edition T-shirt. The store will also conduct drawings for a MacBook Air, iPad, iPod shuffles and merchandise from Griffin Technology and MacAuthority's house-brand 4mac.
To register for prizes, visit MacAuthority.com to get a four-digit PIN that can be redeemed from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.
In addition to MacAuthority's arrival, the mall will also see The Children's Place open its doors July 28.
The popular chain is the largest pure-play children's specialty apparel retailer in North America. As of January, the company owned and operated more than 1,000 locations.
During the store's grand opening, the first 200 customers to make a purchase of $50 or more will receive a Place Play Pack, a limited edition backpack filled with activities.
Both MacAuthority and The Children's Place will be participating in the annual Sales Tax Holiday Aug. 3-5.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2007 A group that supports wounded servicemembers and their families is offering troops a friendly ear with its newest program, "Hear 4 You."
The no-cost program that launched Aug. 1 aims to develop a network of volunteers to listen to military personnel and their families affected by post-deployment stress and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The program is one of many services offered by Silver Star Families of America, which supports families of wounded servicemembers. The group is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad.
"We are just there to listen," Janie Orman, Silver Star Families of America's vice president, said. "We are not counseling. We want everyone to know that. We don't take the place of a (mental health) professional in any way."
Thirteen Silver Star Families of America volunteers man e-mail or instant-messaging accounts to answer concerns of servicemembers. Military personnel or family members wishing talk to a volunteer through the Hear 4 You program can follow the link from the Silver Star Families of America Web site, www.silverstarfamilies.org. The program's Web site shows which volunteers are online at any given moment.
All volunteers have received training in how to spot signs of post-traumatic stress disorder or suicidal thoughts, Orman said.
"In that particular area, if we feel or get a sense of that in any way, we advise them … to seek help," she said. "If needed, we'll try to help them find that right then."
Such help might be found through the "Give an Hour" program, a national network of mental health professionals who volunteer an hour a week to respond to the needs of the military community. Give an Hour has recently partnered with Silver Star Families of America.
The terms of use each participant must agree to before being allowed to contact a volunteer also encourage individuals to call 911 if they're having suicidal or homicidal thoughts.
The Hear 4 You program took root when the Silver Star Families of America members realized how many e-mails they were receiving from servicemembers or family members wanting to talk. This concerned the members, Orman said.
"We set up the Hear 4 You program based on that," she said. The program is especially important to several Silver Star Families of America members who have sons suffering from PTSD.
"They're trying to encourage their own kids to at least talk," Orman said. "They feel like if (servicemembers) can just talk some of this out, it may help them in some way."
The organization is hoping the program's base in anonymity will encourage servicemembers to open up without fear of retribution.
"We've been told … that a lot of them feel like it's easier to talk to someone they don't know," she said. "I know there's a Department of Defense hotline and a (Veterans Affairs) hotline, but sometimes they feel like they might face repercussions (if they go through formal channels).
"We would love to see it really grow and … make some type of difference," she added.

There are several reasons that I practice the areas of the law. The main two reasons are that I feel comfortable practicing this law as well as leaving the client satisfied. I want to help individuals in need of help and get a great sense of satisfaction knowing that I was able to help people out.
I have worked for law firms who practiced this type of law. It is there that I was able to learn the law in practice. I know the struggles many people face when trying to seek legal advice. Being a first generation attorney in my family means that I understand the client and am eager to help them.
I moved to the United States as a young boy and know hardship. I also am a firm believer that with hard work a lot can be accomplished.
My law firms like many other law firms seeks to help people. I believe in giving the client time to tell me his side of the story. I am a compassionate individual who will do all I can to help my client. I am also fluent in Polish.

Howard J. Brown purchased the assets of the Kenosha News Publishing Co. on Dec. 26, 1961. In 1962, the Kenosha Evening News changed its nameplate to the Kenosha News and Brown became publisher.
In June 1969, Brown formed United Communications Corp. and Kenosha News Publishing Co. became a subsidiary of UCC. Brown and General Manager Eugene Schulte assumed additional corporate responsibilities. UCC is a closely held private company with 11 board members, most of whom are family.
Soon after its formation, UCC began purchasing media properties.
On July 10, 1969, UCC purchased the Attleboro Sun Publishing Co., which publishes a daily newspaper and a weekly shopper in Attleboro, Mass.
On Oct. 14, 1977, UCC branched out in to the television business, purchasing KEYC-TV in Mankato, Minn. KEYC is a CBS affiliate that serves south central Minnesota and north central Iowa.
UCC purchased the Zion-Benton News and Bargaineer on May 30, 1979, acquiring the weekly newspaper and shopper distributed in Lake County, Ill.
On Dec. 31, 1981, UCC added another television property, purchasing WWNY-TV in Watertown, NY. The station is a CBS affiliate in upstate New York. The corporation also purchased a low-power TV station called WNYF-CA in Watertown, N.Y., in 2001.
In 1986, UCC purchased the Midweek Bulletin, a shopper serving Kenosha County. The corporation added the Foxboro Reporter, a weekly newspaper serving Foxboro, Mass., on Jan. 1, 1988.
UCC added another property in southeastern Wisconsin on Feb. 22, 1999, purchasing the Lake Geneva Regional News, a weekly newspaper, and the Resorter, a weekly entertainment guide.
On Feb. 28, 2002, UCC made its most recent purchase, buying the Watertown Public Opinion, a daily newspaper serving the Watertown, S.D., area.
Schulte retired and Brown stepped down as publisher of the Kenosha News in July 2001. Brown retained the title of president of UCC and appointed Kenneth L. Dowdell publisher and Ronald J. Montemurro general manager.

Liquid Damage - Life Estimate?
I posted in the official I spilled liquid but I thought I would put a post up since I assume people wont look there unless they have the same issue :Sleeping: (Here's the story quoted from my other post)
Thought I would share my story with you guys since it seems I am the luckiest person in the world.
First off I was having worst luck lately (crashed car, gf broke up with me, university messing my classes up, 2 year old nephew pooped in my bed-put it outside to bleach-it rained-matress ruined) and then 5 days ago I was looking for something on my bed and there was a SOLO cup full of water on my bed...just someone (maybe me) decided it was a good idea to balance in on the bed. My macbook was there, plugged in, shut, in sleep mode. Well a bit later I noticed my bed was soaking.....
Opened macbook, pressed power button...Caps Lock button goes green but no start, press power AGAIN, same thing...plug into charger again and press power, bam....hear clicking from the macbook.
Tried to play stupid with Apple store but obviously they could tell and boy did I put up a fight with them. My macbook was Early 2011 15", I got quoted $1250 to fix it. Ended up buying a new Macbook 15".....
Hard-drive on my other one was fine, so I transfered all my data fine to my new macbook....well about 8 hours ago I was searching on ebay and getting ready to try out one of these repair people....but I decided to open my old macbook up and take a closer look...thought, what the ****, apple marked it as water damaged so no warranty and its probably fried....
Took the logic board out, and the DC adapter (which clearly showed some liquid goo) out, dumped them in isopropyl 70% and switched on my electronic tooth brush and went around the whole board, I blew on it to dry it...plugged everything back in....and tada!
Everything is working...for now.
Any opinions on if it'll last? Wondering if I should keep my new MacBook Pro, I mostly use it for gaming and my new one has the 1GB video memory compared to my old 256mb.
(I really hope this is a sign of my luck turning around!.....or I just jinxed it? ;D)
- Nick
If it works fine for a week straight am I in the clear? Or does (could have) had some issue that would shorten the life span?
But...if you got it to work that's a positive sign:)...and just consider yourself lucky every time it comes on!:)
- Nick
Please do not double post. I've removed your duplicate from the Sticky. Thanks.
If you wanted to "clean" things...you should have just used water...and then dried everything completely before use. Alcohol is a solvent...and "melts/dissolves" almost anything that is plastic or epoxy-based...which there is a lot of in computers.
Motherboards (or logic boards) are coated in a layer of resin/epoxy which helps to protect the delicate pathways between components from physical damage (scratches) and exposure to the atmosphere (oxidation).
By "dumping" the logic board into 70% isopropyl alcohol...you may have dissolved some of this protective coating...and you could have damaged anything that is "plastic-based" on the motherboard/logic board.
- Nick
p.s. In post #1 you mentioned that a SOLO cup of water was the liquid that was spilled. You also mentioned something about "liquid goo". A water spill would not have caused any "liquid goo" to form. This "liquid goo" could have been the result of exposing everything to the isopropyl alcohol...since the alcohol could have "melted/dissolved" something...causing the "liquid goo" to form.
And for the P.S. I was thinking the SAME exact thing, I admit I opened it up before bringing to Apple store and I dont recall the residue being there but it most likely was because it wasn't dried yet. Then they showed me it when I went in to pick it up. I know for a fact it was water that was spilled and I opened it up only to tilt it on the side so air could get in and dry it. The "goo" is now gone after cleaning it however. But ya, Apple "Genius" pointed to the Mag-Safe DC-IN jack and said it was corrosion from liquid spill :Not-Amused:
EDIT: So next time (I don't know why I am predicting there will be a next time) I should clean it with just plain water? How about distilled water? Or how about 99% isopropyl (picture is MB in 99%)? And any reccomendations on how to wipe motherboards down? Q-Tips and cotton balls are horrible cause it leaves strains of cotton that get caught on the "chips" or whatever.
[IMG]http://braineater.kicks-***.tv/misc****e/liquid1.jpg[/IMG] Replace *** with another word for buttocks.
I only wanted to mention that using alcohol in a manner mentioned in this thread was pretty darn risky!;) The bottom line is...the MacBook is working. Whether the cleaning contributed to this...or simply drying it out & getting rid of all water may have done it as well.
Good luck:)...hopefully the MacBook continues to operate...and operate normally. Please keep us updated on it's condition. We usually don't hear too many positive stories after liquid spills.;)
- Nick
I cant believe how badly I messed up with panicking and trying to turn it on...it's just that I stupidly had no back-ups and the data on here is my life since.
If everything works out then Im happy this happened as its been a very good learning experience.
I also added stuff to the post before yours, if you could advise on those questions I would be much grateful.
99% alcohol would be even worse than 70%...since 99% alcohol is more concentrated...and would do more damage more quickly. I'm not saying that using alcohol to clean cannot (in rare circumstances) be ok to use...but it's usually not a good idea to use alcohol on plastic, rubber, or epoxy coated surfaces. Surfaces like glass or metal can be cleaned with alcohol (if absolutely necessary)...but even then I would suggest water or water + soap first.
Most people don't need to clean motherboards/logic boards. Usually they just get dusty or fuzzy with dust/dirt...so a shot of compressed air is usually all that's needed. But if some sort of spot cleaning is necessary...a Q-tip is one of the best things to get into tight areas...even though the cotton fibers can get caught on things.
The "name of the game" is NOT to need to clean a motherboard due to spills!!!;)
- Nick
Ill shoot you a PM in a week to let you kno what happens with the macbook, meanwhile maybe Ill see you around other parts of the forums :D
Nick is right on target with his advice about cleaning printed circuit boards. Having worked in the computer repair business for years and electronic repair, the recommended cleaning for PC boards was to (in the absence of a professional cleaning station) use a common home dishwasher. Mild detergent, and warm (not hot) water.

Room With A View // 170 pictures posted // about + links // archives // RSS
Updated Weekly on Tuesdays
The Daily Illini ran three of the photos I shot for Quad Day last year today. This was one of them. They also ran a few of my old photos during the summer, only now I am credited as Daily Illini File Photo. This is something I don't understand. In almost all cases the DI knows who took the photos because the captions stay with the photos. Why not credit the photographer even if he doesn't work for the paper any more? It's not as if the person no longer deserves credit. I guess according to the DI, I am no longer a person.
I wonder how many other reporters/photographers become lost among the "File Photos." I find it disturbing not because I want my name in the paper, but because it utterly destroys a part of the paper's history. College papers already suffer from a quick loss of institutional memory due to their typical restructuring and entirely new staff every half year, why throw away what history can be maintained. The paper is run on the backs of the current staff, but it was built on the backs of the staff before them. The prior staff of the Daily Illini will remember the paper, but neither the paper nor anyone else will remember them. Again, I make this argument not so much for myself, because I can't consider myself having made a huge difference for the DI, but rather for editors and reporters who did make a lasting difference. I'm talking about the people who poured a few years of their lives into evolving the paper for nothing more than a quick reference on page A2 and the hope of a few drinks with some friends at the end of the night. I find it kind of depressing, but then again maybe it's just me looking back on some now fading memories.
I will be remaining at UIUC to attend graduate school, most likely for 4-5 years, but I will no longer be working for the DI; at least for this year. Technically I am under contract with the State as a graduate student which dictates that I can not hold any other jobs. During this first year of graduate school I know I will not have time for that anyways since I will probably need to spend about 85% of "free time" studying so I can pass graduate level Thermo and Qualification Exams. If I don't pass these I will be removed from the graduate program. After that I can most likely talk my professor into letting me work for the DI again if I still want to.
The DI had its good aspects and its bad aspects for me. I ended up having to shoot a lot of shit that I didn't have any interest in at all, like a garage sale for example, but I did get the opportunity to shoot things which I never would have gotten access to otherwise, like E3. It was sometimes a pain putting up with certain people or trying to work around broken gear that I sometimes desperately needed to do my job, but overall I think it was a good experience. I know that I am now a better photographer for it and I defiantly had some fun along the way. Perhaps the nicest thing is that the job kept me shooting even when I wouldn't think I would have time for it otherwise. It also kept sending me to events that I otherwise would have never experienced while an undergrad here at UIUC. I am glad that I did it in the end. The question is should I go back next year? I am not sure if I will have outgrown it or not. It's hard to base the decision on anything else besides whether or not I will enjoy it and become a better photographer for it since the DI will have become and entirely different beast by then with entirely new people.
Enough of all of this rambling though, the one thing I would really like to do is thank Yoshi for making me get out there and work for the paper. Yoshi has been a best friend of mine since the beginning of high school (over 6 years now) and I couldn't have asked for a better friend. Whether it was support, advice, debates, drinking, fun or just taking the next step Yoshi was there. Thank you Kiyoshi Martinez.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 9, Episode 15: A Newborn Baby and A Risky Surgery
Grey's Anatomy has baby fever! And we're not just talking about the doctors.
According to Zap2It, Episode 15 will feature a highly debated risky surgery on a newborn patient whose parents barely know each other ... Think one-night stand. And what's worse is that the more the couple gets to know each other, the more they don't like their findings.
If a sick baby can't bring two people together, we're not sure what can. But if this episode is about a risky surgery on a baby, perhaps Alex (Justin Chambers) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) will be working together and running things? Any opportunity to see Arizona back at work sounds good to us!
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, January 10, 2013, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Instead of a cottage, splurge on a backyard.
The fences in this urban backyard have latticed panels to encourage the growth of climbing flowers between classically detailed pilasters.

The Autopista Duarte ultimately leads (via a three- to four-hour drive) from Santo Domingo to the North Coast, sometimes called the Amber Coast because of its large, rich amber deposits. The coastal area around Puerto Plata, notably Playa Dorada, is a region of well-established, all-inclusive resorts and developments; the North Coast has more than 110 km (70 miles) of beaches, with condominiums
and villas going up fast.
The farther east you go from Puerto Plata and Sosúa, the prettier and less spoiled the scenery becomes. The autopista runs past Cabarete, a town that's a popular windsurfing haunt, and Playa Grande, which has a miraculously unspoiled white-sand beach with amenities now being gentrified, a famous golf course, and a development project underway

Sometime before June 1, Donna Hooks, the only principal Burgess Elementary School has ever known, will close the door to her office and call it a career at least for a couple of days.
While there will be a new principal, many of the goals and achievements Hooks and her community have worked for will remain. Its not surprising to the people who know Hooks.
I think the biggest thing about Donna is her heart. Then theres the caring about the kids and her community, said Dottie Brown, Horry Countys executive director for elementary schools who worked with Hooks in a number of capacities. Donna promotes leadership, she promotes kids being in control.
Hooks takes no credit for the awards garnered by her school, including being named a national School of Character in 2013, among Palmettos Finest in 2012 and several gold and silver awards from the state.
The awards are great, but its whats behind the awards that is gratifying, she said.
Everyone in this building goes way beyond, Hooks said, bristling a bit at the suggestion that she was responsible for the honors gained since the school opened its doors in 2007.
Its effort, not luck, from everyone.
She notes that each Burgess student is proud to be a lifelong leaders and learners.
If we expect our children to believe that, we have to model that.
It is not surprising to see faculty, staff and students spending extra time at school or working extra hard on projects.
If you get satisfied, you get stagnant,: she said. Thats most likely why even though she has time built up over her decades-long career with Horry County Public Schools, shes already planned to present at two June conferences. Maybe then shell clean out her office.
While Hooks may be leaving Burgess, she is not leaving the area.
Its home, she said simply. This is my community. I have lived her for 36 years. I shop here, I go to church here.
She is a charter member of Timberlake Baptist Church and is a deacon, and she serves on the board of the Greater Burgess Community Association.
She said shes both happy and sad to leave.
I turned in my letter of resignation and realized that it would mean I will not see childrens faces each day, she said.
But she does have plans. She has elderly relatives who she wants to spend time with.
She is going on vacation to Hawaii and then maybe she will take up quilting, or making wedding cakes. But she knows she will always be home here.
From the start, she included Burgess Elementary in the community and the community in the school.
The building houses a museum that traces the history of the Burgess Community and students interviewed community members for the historic vignettes that adorn the old post office replica and other items.
She stresses that to be a leader, its important to be a servant leader, to bring others along with you. The school each year welcomes back the winners of the William Burgess Award, given annually to a fifth-grader who exhibits academic and leadership. Its a big deal. The students apply for it, they interview for it,
She said that each year the former winners come back and talk to the students, who hang on their every word. But they also talk to the teachers, explaining how Burgess contributed to their successes. We take very seriously our mission that they become well-established members of society. It doesnt stop here, she said.
She explained that when the school opened, we got together to talk about what makes a school good and what makes a school the best. It was a conscious decision to choose the sea turtle as a mascot.
You have the B for Burgess, the E for elementary, the S for sea and the T for turtle. It was no accident. We wanted to be the best.

I'm using the script from the examples given for 26xx in TSB builder, but have adapted it to be run inside labview, where I can select the variables, such as number of points, start and end values, nplc etc. I've written some code to triangulate measurements. To do this, I'm using the 'DCSweepVList' function or the equivalent for I List. I build a string in Labview with all of the values for the triangulate measurment. However when I run this, I encounter a timeout error. I've attached the VI which compiles the script and sends it to the 2636B I'm using.
If anyone could shed some light on how to get this working, I'd be really appreciative. Also in the script, there is a section which 'enables SRQ on done' (see below):
-- enable SRQ on sweep done
status.operation.sweeping.enable = status.operation.sweeping.SMUA
status.operation.enable = status.operation.SWEEPING
-- transistion registers
status.operation.sweeping.ptr = 0
status.operation.sweeping.ntr = status.operation.sweeping.SMUA
-- when negative transition register changes state
-- from 0 to 1, the sweep is done.
status.node_enable = status.OSB
status.request_enable = status.OSB
Could someone explain what this is and how it works, as I am using it in other work, but I'm just copying and pasting it as I don't understand why I need to use it.

Studies in temperate grassland ecosystems have shown that differences in composition of C3 and C4 plant functional types can have important influences on ecosystem pools and processes. We used a plant community dynamics model (STEPPE) linked to a biogeochemical cycling model (CENTURY) to determine how ecosystem properties in shortgrass steppe are influenced by plant functional type composition. Because of phenological differences between C3 and C4 plants, we additionally simulated the effects of precipitation seasonality on plant communities and examined how C3 and C4 composition interacts with precipitation to affect ecosystems. The model output suggests that differences in C3 and C4 composition can lead to differences in soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) within 1000 simulation years. Soil organic C and N (g C and N m− 2 to 0.2-m depth) were least in a 100% C4 community compared with a 100% C3 community and a mixed C3–C4 community. A change in the time of maximum precipitation from summer to spring in a simulated shortgrass steppe slightly favored C3 plants over C4 plants. The proportion of total net primary production accounted for by C3 plants increased from 21% to 25% after 200 years, when 90 mm of precipitation was switched from summer to spring. Soil organic matter (SOM) was relatively stable in the C4-dominated communities with respect to changes in precipitation seasonality, whereasSOM in the C3 community was sensitive to precipitation seasonality changes. These results suggest an important interaction between plant community composition and precipitation seasonality on SOM, with phenology playing a key role.

If we told you a year ago that Snoop Dogg would regain his crown in 2005, Green Day would release one of the biggest rock albums of the decade and Mariah Carey would bounce back from "Glitter" to get her groove back, you'd have thought we were high.
But all of them did just that. Along with fellow MTV Video Music Award nominees Gwen Stefani, My Chemical Romance and Coldplay, they've all undergone major transformations in the past year, beaten some serious odds, and come up with hit songs and albums that have redefined their careers. Here's how these artists pulled it off …
Problem: Where do we start? From "Glitter" to hospitalization, bizarre Web
postings and an embarrassing divorce from her former label — which paid her tens
of millions to just go away — the one-time megastar was threatening to become
her generation's Liza Minnelli. The R&B diva looked like a butterfly whose wings
had been clipped.
Solution: Enter Mimi. We're not sure what was freed, but with The
Emancipation of Mimi, Carey returned to what she does best: mixing sexy,
airy pop hits with the occasional rap cameo. A big part of the success goes to the personal attention of new label boss Antonio "L.A." Reid, but the real clincher was Mariah getting lost. "It was something difficult for her to do, which is stay away for a while," said Geoff Mayfield, director of charts for Billboard magazine. "She was very prolific,
especially at the point where she was getting lots of negative publicity. She needed
to disappear and come back with an appealing album, and she accomplished both
The moment everything started to change: Unexpectedly, the breathy ballad "We Belong Together" was Carey's biggest top 40 hit in a decade, becoming the summer jam and topping the Billboard Hot 100 for 11 weeks as it set a record for the largest radio audience ever on the chart.
Problem: Sure, he was still turning out the odd hit song, but Snoop was starting to morph into the hip-hop Paris Hilton — he was famous just for being famous. Taking his eye off the musical ball, the always diversified rapper was so busy shilling
cell phones, appearing in weak movies and hosting soft-core porn vids that we were starting to forget why he used to be the Topp Dogg.
Solution: One word: Pharrell. Maybe all Snoop needs is a mentor, because
like Dr. Dre, Neptunes mastermind Pharrell Williams was able to make Snoop blaze
again, making "Let's Get Blown" a hit and "Drop It Like It's Hot" so smokin'
that even your mom was saying it like she knew what it meant.
The moment everything started to change: Late 2004, leading up to a seven-week run at the top of the Billboard Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop chart for "Drop It Like It's Hot." The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the Hot 100, and logged an amazing 12 weeks at #1 on the Hot Ringtones Chart, which may be why it felt like everywhere you went, Snoop was right behind you.
Problem: Rock star marries beautiful movie star. Has beautiful baby, names her Apple. Ditches two versions of his band's third album over the pressure to take it to
the next level. There goes the music.
Solution: Walk the walk. With one of the biggest albums of the year, a
soul-stirring set at Live 8 and an unmistakable swagger, the band got back to business with a solid effort and a radio hit with the soaring "Speed of Sound." "Anyone who spent time earlier this year wondering if Coldplay's album would be successful needs to get a hobby," Mayfield said. "They'd shown decent growth from album to album, got good exposure two consecutive years at the Grammys, became a handsome touring attraction — all the things a rock band needs to do to be successful."
The moment everything started to change: Despite gripes from some critics that the group served up more of the same, X&Y debuted in June with sales of 737,000 copies, proof positive that Coldplay's fans have no complaints. The band's first #1 U.S. albums-chart debut also became the year's biggest rock debut.
Problem: Green Day have been slapped with a lot of labels over the years, but "important" wasn't usually one of them. So when the tapes from the veteran punkers' partially completed album were stolen and the group emerged with the world's first punk opera/concept album, complete with two nine-plus-minute epics and religious overtones … uh-oh.
Solution: Can you say instant classic? Talk about right song, right time: When the "American Idiot" single began to gain traction at radio in September
2004, the country was in the midst of presidential-election mania and the song's
piss-take on society spoke to everyone across the "alien-nation" who refused to
bow to the status quo.
The moment everything started to change: There were many, beginning when doubting Thomases who got their hands on advance copies of the album were stunned by what they heard. In September, "American Idiot" began its six-week run as the #1 single on the Billboard Modern Rock chart, followed by the band's first #1 debut on the albums chart in October. Then February brought a Best Rock Album Grammy (one win out of seven nominations). Even after 3. 9 million in sales, the amazing run of American Idiot may actually just be hitting its peak, thanks to the mini-movie starring Evan Rachel Wood for the record's most moving track, "Wake Me Up When September Ends." That song is shaping up to potentially be as big a crossover hit as the band's 1997 smash ballad, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
Problem: Who? Exactly.
Solution: Judging by the king's welcome My Chemical Romance are getting on the Warped Tour and their summer-long run atop the "TRL" chart, there are plenty of people out there who were dying for a mix of Broadway hoofing, pancake makeup and some big, meaty hooks.
The moment everything started to change: The cinematic teen-drama-spoofing video for their first single, "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," helped set the whole thing up by showing the band's high-energy live show and a sense of humor mixed with a dramatic
sensibility. If you're not convinced of the power of a great video, go to the
band's Web site and watch the old-school version of the clip. They really hit the
big time, though, on June 28, the day the choreography-filled "Helena" clip
debuted on "TRL," where it's lived in the top 10 for more than a month, landing at
#1 more than a dozen times.
Problem: One of the most hotly anticipated albums of the year got off to a
solid start, with hits like "What You Waiting For?" and the Dr. Dre-produced
"Rich Girl." But neither those songs, nor Love, Angel, Music, Baby, ever quite became the megahits we all thought they'd be. Remember No Doubt's 17-million-selling 1995 album, Tragic Kingdom?
Solution: Go B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Like Snoop, Gwen knows a good catchphrase when she hears it and "it's bananas" was it. Suddenly, pop and urban radio couldn't get enough of "Hollaback Girl." When's the last time a white female rock singer got spins on tastemaker hip-hop and R&B stations like New York's Hot 97? It just doesn't happen.
The moment everything started to change: Once DJs started putting "Hollaback Girl" on mixtapes and taking it upon themselves to play it on the radio, it hit the stratosphere. The song — which Stefani recorded at the last minute for inclusion on her solo debut — has been "crazy" in clubs, Queens, New York, DJ King Smij told MTV News back in June. Smij sensed the track's power in March when he included it on one of his mixtapes. "You can bring back the intro for like two minutes: 'Uh huh, all the girls …' It's a female anthem. A dude will say something to them and now women are starting to say, 'I ain't no hollaback girl.' I heard that and said, 'Gwen Stefani done started some sh–.' That's one of the go-to records in clubs." The song subsequently spent four weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 chart and eight weeks at #1 on the Pop chart.

Position battles were a hot topic yesterday at Michigan's media day.
zjgm02 The O-Line canNOT be worse than it was last year...can it?
Philc Well, there are a few possibilities. 1) Mason Cole is a once-in-a-generation talent, who will usher in a new era of Michigan domination. 2) The competition at O-line is pretty weak. 3) Hoke knows that Cole is probably going to redshirt and this just a chance for them to evaluate him with the first team before he gets buried on the depth chart.

Hinchingbrooke Hospital rebrands its maternity unit
Posted: January 26, 2014|
Hinchingbrooke Hospital is rebranding its maternity unit and is trying to encourage more women from all over the region to use its services.
The unit is now known as The Park Maternity Centre at Huntingdon.
Hinchingbrooke is emphasising the safety of the unit after it was rated as one of the highest rated in the country.
Janet Driver, head of midwifery, said: "We're incredibly proud of the fact that The Park Maternity Centre is backed by the highest safety ranking available from the NHS litigation authority, or CNST level 3.
"We're one of only 13 maternity units in the country to have achieved this status."
She said: "Equally important to us is the fact that the women who choose us for their care have rated us at over 90 per cent in the government's Friends and Family Test for three months in a row."
The hospital said its maternity unit had a full range of high-quality facilities, including a maternity day assessment unit which offered outpatient monitoring for more complex pregnancies as well as antenatal ultrasound and foetal and maternal medicine support.
The unit also has newly-refurbished labour, postnatal and antenatal wards, a midwifery-led birthing unit and a pool room.
A new obstetric theatre is expected to be finished in February.
Tarang Majmudar, clinical lead, said: "Our women are at the centre of our thinking and we offer a range of innovative pathways of care like our complementary therapy clinic for overdue mums to be which reduces the need for medical induction of labour.
"We are the only trust in the East of England to offer this treatment and the only one in the country to provide it within a community setting."
The newly-renamed maternity unit is holding an open day on March 8 so that women can see the facilities and meet the consultants and midwives.

STRATFORD -- A fire seriously damaged a unit at the Oronoque Village Condominium on Thursday.
Asstistant Chief Lance Edwards said the fire, which broke out around 4 p.m., was largely limited to the attic in one of two units in a building on Niantic Lane. The residents were not home at the time.
The town fire marshal was on the scene Thursday afternoon, investigating the cause of the blaze.
John Burgeson, staff writer, contributed to this report.
