A Matador Minute with Freshman Analee Viena-Lota
Recently, freshman Analee Viena-Lota sat down with the media relations staff to discuss the ongoing women's basketball season. A native of Honolulu, Hawai'i, Viena-Lota has seen her role in the Matador game plan expand tremendously over the past five games. During that period, she is averaging 8.6 ppg, good for third on the team, while shooting 57.6 percent (19-33) from the field.
Against Cal State Bakersfield on Dec. 19, Viena-Lota came off the bench to explode for a season-high 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting and grab nine rebounds. Viena-Lota arrived at Northridge after an expansive high school career that saw her travel around the U.S. to face other select teams and also included a trip to Japan to face some of that nation's best. Although she does admit to being homesick at times, Analee Viena-Lota brings a swagger and determination that will reap dividends for the Matadors, starting Thursday at UC Davis and in the future.
1. Can you talk about your freshman season so far?
"When the season started, I was really nervous. Now, I am starting to gain my confidence. I really enjoy playing with my teammates. I think the Bakersfield game helped me boost my confidence especially. It was exciting to start the other night against UC Santa Barbara, and I am enjoying the additional playing time. I realize, though, that playing time is based upon performance"
2. What does it feel like to be in the "zone"?
"You feel like you are never going to miss. I felt lucky most of the time. It is almost a feeling of being unstoppable. Everything seems to be on point."
3. How has it been so far adjusting to college life?
"I thought it would be hard, but it has been easy. I met some boys from Hawai'i and it has been nice to find a home away from home. I just try not to think about home too much."
4. Is it comforting to have so many student-athletes at Northridge come from Hawai'i?
"It is comforting to have them around. The culture in California is so much different. It is hard to explain...It was hard to relate to some of the experiences people have out here."
5. What are the differences between the beaches in Southern California and Hawai'i?
"The beaches in California are dirty and the water is cold. Plus there are a lot of people. The water in Hawai'i is not as cold and it is a lot cleaner. Plus the sand is real sand in Hawai'i, not a mixture of mud and dirt or whatever it is. It just is better.
6. Do you have a pregame ritual?
"I pray before each game. It is something I have done my whole life. I look for guidance and to help the team."
7. What have you learned from the coaches so far?
"I work a lot with coach Vaughan and I am enjoying it. She brings a large knowledge of the game. She is trying to help me with my defense because I know it is something I can improve."
8. Who keeps the mood light on the team, whether it is in practice or during a game?
"I love hanging out with Crystal Hahs. She can laugh at anything. We have the same sense of humor. She is a fun person to be around. Katrina Thompson is another person who does a good job of making people laugh. She has a great attitude and lot of energy. She keeps things going when things are down. She gives us that energy and spark in games and in practice."
9. What are your goals for the rest of the season?
"I would like to make the All-Big West Freshman team. I would also like to get quicker on defense. As a team, I want us to do better in 2008 and advance far in the Big West Conference tournament."
10. What do you miss about home the most?
"I miss surfing. I miss it because it allows you to tan fast. I can't surf out here because it is cold. I miss the food, especially poi. I also miss my workout crew, a group of basketball players that makes training fun, though it is really hard.
11. What makes a good rebounder?
"I think my athleticism and long arms help me get rebounds. I think sometimes it's about being in the right place at the right time, but it also comes down to boxing-out, something I need to work on."

Over the past decade, Stanford has intensified its focus on preparing students for careers teaching law and has emerged as a dominant force in legal academia. A number of factors make Stanford an exciting place to prepare for an academic career in law. Stanford Law School's Program for Aspiring Law Teachers offers many structured opportunities to gain exposure to legal scholarship, produce it, and prepare to cultivate the next generation of lawyers.
Between 2006 and 2011, roughly 15 percent of each entering class pursued a scholarly career, and nearly 70 percent of graduates who sought such positions succeeded — an impressive placement record.

Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: Amber's Blow-Up at Daniel At Work Was Inappropriate
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
Quote Pinkette: Wow, I can't believe Amber just lost it at work today. She shouted out that "we should have never had sex". Man oh man would I have fired her immediately. But that's just me.
Oh everything about Amber is inappropriate cant stand her one bit and her saying what she did right there in front of everybody in the office...so tacky and non/classy...yep thats Amber she should be fired..she isnt even there much anyhow...come on Phyliss and Nick fire her
Anything goes: the whole thing was inappropriate starting with the way Daniel was practically undressing Amber as she spoke on the phone..
Buenos Aires
Silly Amber being treat that way by Cane or Daniel because she brought it into herself,forget about her lies and porn,as a woman I dont feel sorry for her,it was her fault to set Cane up into false marriage after she drug him and she use Him first coz she just want Cane for his money,thats LOW,and when he dump her coz all her lies and deceit she practically beg him to take her back and use Sex as usual,it was all her act,she has no manner
Phyllis wants to be the big boss at R.S., the first thing she should do is teach her porn boy son how to behave in an office setting. I am no fan of Amber, but at least she was trying to do her job and Daniel was all over her. Grow up Daniel
Daniel is the apple that fell from a rotten tree........Amber is by far smarter than he can ever think of being.....
Quote mdtuttle:
Quote Pinkette: Wow, I can't believe Amber just lost it at work today. She shouted out that "we should have never had sex". Man oh man would I have fired her immediately. But that's just me.
I can't believe I am defending Amber, but right is right and this time I am on her side. She was working, trying to do her job. She has also been thinking a lot about their relationship lately. She has been thinking about her past mistakes and wondering if Daniel is "the one" She has tried to express these thoughts to him and he just acts like the don'e matter.
Add to that that he comes in a treats her like, to use Amber's phrase a vending machine. With not only no regaurd for the fact that they were at work and in full view of his mother, Sharon and several other employees. He completly ignored Amber's request for him to knock it off. This to me showed a complete and total lack of respect. I don't blame Amber a bit for telling him off!
I have to say this. If Amber would grow up and act like a lady and wait on the sex, maybe men wouldn't just see her as a VENDING machine. She isn't anyone that I would want my son to bring home. I would have to spray my whole house down with Lysol...because you know she is burning. (STD) Amber was a Wh0r3 on the bold and the beautiful and she is one here. Men give women what they want only if the woman demands respect. Keep your pants on and don't have sex with each and every man you encounter or this is what you get....Sex and no respect. She ran after Adrien, she tricked Cane and now she thinks she wants Daniel forever....
Quote Soulsistah: I hate when guys treat women like their play toys - it's the endearing reason I don't like Cane; I won't forget how he used her the way he did that last time (yes, defending Amber here ). Sorry, that just crosses a line in my book in the battle of the sexes. Ok, ok, don't want to rehash that here.
But Daniel is treating Amber the same way apparently, and she doesn't like it anymore. I get that. I agree with that (I would have blackened both Porniel's eyes if had tried that garbage on me at the office! ). But Amber now wants to redefine their relationship and those weren't not the rules they mutally agreed to at the outset, hence Porno-boy doesn't get it.
Read through the thread, the posts that defended Amber I agree with, This one is the best. Amber could be growing up. She may have to leave Daniel behind, unless he begins to grow up too.
The personal relationship should be left outside the office. Professionalism with all of the Restless Style group seems to be lacking.
Quote pinetree: Phyllis wants to be the big boss at R.S., the first thing she should do is teach her porn boy son how to behave in an office setting. I am no fan of Amber, but at least she was trying to do her job and Daniel was all over her. Grow up Daniel
Complete agreement with every point you make!
alison stewart
amber obviously loves daniel, and he loves her back, theyre the most cutest hottest couple mnow on the young and the restless, in my opinion. did you guuys see how in todays show she asked daniel to move in with him? omg, i really hope she says yes ps. i love danber
He's just treating her like the tramp she is or was. I mean lets be serious no guy is gonna respect a gal if she e-mails her breast to his cell phone while he's still married to someone else or knows that she married Cane because she knew he was a Chancellor. There are so many things that Daniel will have to put behind him if he is to take Amber seriously. Phillis just sat there because she doesn't know any better as well. A good mother would have pulled her son aside and explained to him how he should treat a lady and behave in the work place but how could she when she's no better than her own son cut from the same cloth is all I have to say.

This Note argues that the Florida Supreme Court's grant of summary judgment in Mobil Oil Corp. v. Bransford, despite ample evidence of apparent authority, will likely set precedent leading to inefficient economic results and inequitable decisions in future cases involving customers injured by the negligence of a business operator. Part II of this Note provides a brief history of legal developments in oil company franchise cases and illustrates the challenges courts have faced in applying traditional vicarious liability principles in the context of modern franchise arrange ments. Part III discusses the court's holding in Mobil Oil and assesses the current status of vicarious liability law in Florida. In part IV, the rationale supporting the concept of vicarious liability is explored in order to analyze the impact the court's decision will have on Florida's agency law jurisprudence. Finally, alternative approaches are suggested for developing a theory that will better implement the policy goals behind vicarious liability in light of the commercial realities of the developing franchise industry.

Hardest instruments to play
A lot of you know a lot about computers so I thought Id ask you guys.
I want a laptop for a mentally handicapped person. All he will do is play CD-ROM games on it. No "gamer" games like WarCraft or anything like that; kids games like Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob and such. No internet and no other programs will be used. What are the bare essentials that I need to have on the laptop so that he can use it? All I know is that it needs to have Windows and a video card.
I dont want to spend 300 and up on this. I really would like to find a used computer store to buy it from, but there arent any near me. I thought I would try to find one on the internet or ask some of my friends in FL to scope out a couple of repair shops for me.
Thanks in advance

Untreated sewage discharged behind sewer main in Oxford
On Friday, the City of Oxford reported a discharge of approximately 100 gallons of untreated sewage from a sewer main located on an easement behind 400 West Front St., Oxford, on Jan. 10. Approximately 100 gallons reached an unnamed tributary of Foundry Branch in the Tar-Pamlico Basin. This discharge was caused by debris in the main.
The volume is an estimate based on 10 gpm for 10 minutes.
The line has been restored to service and the creek was damned, cleaned, flushed and pumped back into the sewer system.
Under North Carolina Statutes, Article 21, Chapter 143.215.c, a press release is not required for a spill under 1,000 gallons. However, in an effort to keep the citizens of Oxford informed, the city issues a release regardless of the volume reaching the surface waters of the State.

Eating Out
Regional Chain Restaurants
Hey all,
John Edwards, the Fast Food columnist here. I've gotten really interested in Regional Chain Restaurants lately, and wondered what some of your favorites are. To give you an example, I went down to New Orleans last year, and ate at Raising Cane's, a southern chain that only serves Chicken Fingers. It's really popular, and is starting to make its way up north. A lot of chains have very regional footprints. (Chick-fil-a in the South, Culver's in Wisconsin, Primanti's in Pittsburgh, In-and-Out in the west). What are some of your regional favorites? What makes them great? What do they specialize in that you've never seen anywhere else?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

When it comes to shopping for some quality European shoes, Rieker boots, shoes or sandals usually come to mind. After all, Rieker has been in the shoe manufacturing industry for more than a century and has already created and maintained quite a good reputation for being one of the world's best providers of anti-stress shoes.
One of the most important features to look for in a pair of shoes is their ability to provide the most comfort to the wearer; and this is just one of the main reasons why the Rieker antistress shoes is the most preferred designer shoes ever since they became widely available. In fact, any woman would be happy to have Rieker boots in her shoes collection because they have excellent features and designs, which are fashionable enough to wear during the cold and chilly season.
For many fashionable women out there, owning a pair of Rieker boots is not an option but a must-have. While other brands of boots also offer fashionable and trendy designs, they don't have the anti-stress features that the Rieker footwear has. Some people make a mistake of buying only the shoes that look good to the eye but forget to consider what's also best for their feet; hence, they would end up hurting and abusing their feet and feeling the most discomfort when standing or walking. Of course, these things would only happen to women who still haven't tried any Rieker antistress footwear.
Indeed, one can never go wrong with a pair of Rieker antistress boots that are made from genuine leather. Whether one is wearing jeans, dresses, or skirts, this type of shoes can definitely complement or highlight any type of clothes or fabric. With a Rieker trademark for a pair of boots, one can expect that they are made from the highest quality and durability standards. Moreover, any woman can wear it with confidence because not only do they provide a pair of boots that conform to the latest fashion, they would usually set the trend themselves.
Of course, the interior of the boots is an important feature that is really worth mentioning because Rieker made sure that they use padded footbed supplies and with enough room or space for the feet to breathe. There is indeed nothing to complain about when it comes to the level of comfort the Rieker shoes for women provide. As they are generally created lightweight, the boots from Rieker will not be heavy on the feet like other brands of boots do.
With the durability and comfort that the Rieker boots provide to the wearer, one will usually think that the price might be something that will prevent anyone from wanting to buy them. However, by checking out the prices of all Rieker footwear sold online or Rieker shoes website, one will definitely agree that they are indeed moderately and reasonably priced. For better deals and prices, one can also avail of free shipping and discount offers from Rieker boots sale in order to get them at an even lower cost.
Check out this video for some of the best Rieker boot styles available:

Tauranga lies in the heart of the Bay of Plenty region, about 2.5 hours south of the city of Auckland. It has become one of New Zealand's fastest-growing areas thanks to plentiful sunshine and beautiful beaches. But with a population of only about 100,000, Tauranga can still offer you generous space to yourself. In fact, the densest concentration of attractions, and perhaps the biggest crowds, is on The Strand in the downtown area. Tauranga also hosts a variety of festivals throughout the year, including arts, comedy, film, jazz and blues.Find Cruises Sailing to This Port
No visit to Tauranga would be complete without a trip to Mount Maunganui. This extinct volcanic peak rises from the mists of Tauranga Harbour, attracting tourists from all over New Zealand and abroad. The area, once a Maori stronghold, now houses the resort town of Maunganui, which is known for its tiled sidewalks lined with palm trees, turquoise-painted street lamps and gorgeous shoreline. And while you're there, take a dip in the hot saltwater pools located at the base of the mountain.
Unless the line at the Bungee Rocket is too long, don't leave Tauranga without trying it at least once. Be warned that this "sport" is not for the weak-hearted. You'll be fastened to a contraption that resembles a giant sling and then shot 50m into the air at a speed of about 100mph. It may sound a little reckless but don't be surprised if you keep coming back for more. You can also charter a boat from Tauranga for big-game fishing, snorkeling, dolphin watching or just cruising.
With the arrival of new residents, the dining scene in this area has also taken off. Many of Tauranga's best restaurants are along The Strand, in the Wharf Street area and on the downtown end of Devonport Road between Spring and Elizabeth streets. The fare available is varied and ranges from Middle Eastern to Mongolian. You may want to pick up a free copy of the Dine Out guide from the visitor center.
Tauranga City is the largest shopping area in the Bay of Plenty. Downtown Tauranga offers a unique and exciting mixture of high-end gift, travel and boutique shops.
The local currency used is the New Zealand dollar (NZ$). Coins come in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, $1 and $2; notes come in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. It is advisable to keep some amount of cash handy especially if you are traveling into rural areas where ATMs are scarce.

Moravian has built its exchange
programs with foreign universities one brick at a time. The Merrill Scholars program,
established with a grant from Charles Merrill (of the Merrill-Lynch brokerage house),
has brought two students a year from Palacky University in Olomous, Czech Republic, for
almost 15 years.
Two years ago, Moravian established
an exchange relationship with the University of Erfurt near Weimar in the former East
Germany. Erfurt is one of Europes oldest and newest universities. It was founded in
1392 but closed in 1816 for lack of enrollment. It reopened in 1994 after German reunification.
Moravian sent Leigh Ann Caruso 04
to study art history in late 2002. The following spring, Sarah Wagenseller, Levittown,
and James Maurath, East Stroudsburg, both 05, studied at Erfurt.
Erfurt sent students Silvan
Niedermeier in 2003 and Beate Menzel this year. Beate is a non-traditional student. Shes
in her early 30s, she is married (her husband remained in Germany), and she is a trained
nurse studying for a bachelors degree.
Right from its inaugural year,
the School of Nursing was eager for its students to be educated in nursing practice around
the globe. Four students served at a remote clinic in Honduras over Christmas break 2002-03
(see the Spring/Summer 2003 Moravian College Magazine), and another set went last Christmas.
Moravian nursing students
have completed May term studies in 2002 and 2003 at the University of Southern Queensland
in Toowoomba, Australia, while Queenslanders have come to the College to engage in American
clinical practice at St. Lukes Hospital in the fall terms of 2001 and 2003. Janet Sipple,
dean of the School of Nursing, who consulted on the transition from a vocational to a
four-year, theoretical-practical nursing program at the University of Southern Queensland
as far back as 1989, received an honorary doctorate from the university in 2003.
This year, the College has
an extra Aussie, Joanna Kahler, the first to come from Moravians newest educational
partner: the nursing program at Queensland University of Technology, also in Toowoomba.

Ionization Chamber
The ionization chamber is a multi-segmented device similar in
construction to a previous one built at Daresbury Laboratory in England.
The anode is split into three segments along the flight path of the recoil;
the first two, which should detect 66% of the recoils' total energy,
will measure the energy loss crucial to the determination of Z. In addition,
the first two segments allow the rejection of bad events caused by Rutherford
scattering in the gas. Further segmentation across the focal plane will
allow the detector to be run at higher overall counting rates. This is
because events entering the chamber simultaneously but in different segments
will be processed separately and will not be rejected as pile-up.
This has been a limiting factor in many of the Daresbury experiments due
to the poor beam rejection. Should such segmentation be unnecessary,
the various anode segments can be linked together with jumpers.
Fig. 1 - A photograph of the top of the ionization chamber. Anode segments are jumpered together such that the left half of the detector is electrically separated from the right half.
The 11-12 cm anode-cathode separation is comparable to that used in other ionization chambers and amplifier time constants of 2-3 μs are used. The anode and cathode planes are constructed of circuit board which allows them to be made cheaply and easily modified. The anode is shielded by a Frisch grid and a position sensitive wire grid. This grid can be used to reject events scattered at large angles in the PSAC or MCP and to provide horizontal position information in cases when the PSAC is not present. In practice, we often remove the PSAC or MCP to minimize energy spread and thus we depend on this position information for our mass gates.
Fig. 2 - An energy loss versus total energy detected in the ionization chamber using a 17F/17O beam stripped at the target. The RMS was tuned to accept charge state 9+ (left) and 8+ (right). Although the gas pressure was insufficient to fully stop the 43 MeV ions, the isotopes are well separated.
The chamber windows are of commercial mylar of 0.9 micron (0.125 mg/cm2) thickness. The windows are supported by gold plated tungsten wires of 50-micron thickness. These wires will be connected through resistor chains in order to provide smooth electric field gradients. This technique has been done with much success at Daresbury. The anticipated maximum gas load is 50-60 torr. Despite the large windows, the vacuum remains below 10**-6 Torr in the focal plane region. Adequate pumping is provided by two turbomolecular vacuum pumps and one cryopump. Although many gases may be used and in the past isobutane was used, we now prefer CF4. This gas is non-explosive and has better timing (faster) while maintaining adequate energy resolution. The gas is circulated through the chamber by our gas handling system. The chamber housing is mounted on a sled which can slide back away from the flange containing the entrance window. This allows easy handling if the window ruptures or if the chamber and components must be inspected or replaced.
This device was built by the University of Surrey and Daresbury Laboratory in England with additional financial help from Vanderbilt University.

Buffalo Bills Place DE Alex Carrington On Injured Reserve
Defensive lineman Alex Carrington has been placed on injured reserve by the Buffalo Bills with a torn left quadriceps tendon which in turn has ended his 2013 NFL season.
Carrington, who started on the left side and played a prominent role in the already banged up Buffalo defense will be sorely missed. He will be eligible for free agency after the season.


text: MTA criticizes Ways & Means school funding proposal The MTA is expressing dismay over the level of Chapter 70 funding provided in the House Ways & Means budget: $91 million, or just 2.8 percent over last year's level. "If this plan is passed, it will be a real blow to students, families and educators," said Massachusetts Teachers Association President Catherine A. Boudreau. "Far too many districts have been cutting programs, increasing class sizes, deferring maintenance, hiking student fees, and under-funding their budgets for books, technology and supplies. They really need help from the state to get back on an even keel. This budget doesn't provide them with that help." Where public higher education is concerned, the MTA gave qualified support to the House committee for allocating $53 million more than the amount in the current year, but noted that state spending on public higher education is still 24 percent lower than in fiscal year 2001, when adjusted for inflation. "This is definitely a step in the right direction," said Boudreau. "But it is just one step in a long journey to restore higher education services to where they were." The University of Massachusetts budget is increased by $27.3 million, or 6.2 percent over FY06 (including supplemental appropriations). State colleges are increased by $9.6 million (4 percent) and community colleges by $8.3 million (3.8 percent). The committee's Chapter 70 proposal for funding local public schools is substantially less than the $278 million sought in the Funding Schools for Student Success bill filed by more than 40 House members, and also much less than the $164 million contained in the governor's budget. "A $91 million increase may sound big, but in reality it is not nearly enough to allow districts to meet rising costs and restore services that were cut in recent years," said Boudreau. "It does not begin to address the challenge of closing the achievement gaps or guaranteeing that all children in this state receive a quality education." Local school budget problems stem from at least two factors: School district costs, driven by increases in such areas energy and health care, are rising rapidly, and state Chapter 70 aid has been cut significantly since fiscal year 2002. When adjusted for inflation and changes in enrollment, Chapter 70 aid is more than $400 million less than in FY02. The MTA is supporting the Funding Schools for Student Success bill, which changes the school funding formula to enable districts to reduce class sizes, provide extra help to struggling students and restore many programs – such as art and music – that have been cut. That bill is also supported by the Massachusetts Association of School Committees and the Massachusetts Federation of Teachers. "We need increases in school funding now," said Boudreau. "If you put it off for another year, that's one more year that students will be deprived of the education they deserve." On the governor's budget, the MTA prefers Romney's level of Chapter 70 to the level contained in the House budget, but opposes some of the strings attached to that funding in future years, such as removing health insurance from collective bargaining negotiations. In addition, the MTA opposes Romney's costly "pay for performance" proposals, which were rejected in the House plan.

Biscoff spread and salted caramel from France - what to make?
I'm just back for a short trip to France, and in between cheeses and bottles of wine, I managed to fit in a jar of Biscoff (speculoos) spread and a jar of salted caramel I found in a tiny local shop. I'm trying to think of things to do with them other than spreading them on bread and/or spooning them directly into my mouth. For the salted caramel I might try a millionaire's shortbread, but I have enough to make more than one recipe. And for the Biscoff I have no idea - anyone tried making blondies out of it?

howard tracy on 14th May 2014
i decided to buy a dash cam after doing the research and i bought this one. i absolutely love it. very easy to navigate through the settings and youre pretty much ready to go out of box. i went with the cheapest one available just as a trial. now i want one with both front and rear dvr. definately worth the money. by the way, customer service was awesome too. my product arrived sooner than expected and i had to get my charger replaced because the tip of it was broke. not a problem, they had one to me in about 2 days, no questions asked. and they were very courteous

A little tough on settup and you need to get the exposure optimized. I used -.7. Clunky for a smaller car windshield. I have an Audi A4 2013. I lease it so hardwiring was not an option. It sits on a bean bag on the dash. It works ok but either can't see the screen or video is upside down. I really don't need the screen except on settup. Temporary wiring to cig lighter but at least I don't have a wire hanging in front of the windshield.

The new DVR-207GS: accept no substitutes! This dashcam builds on the success of the legendary DVR-027. While there are many cheap knock-offs, this is the genuine edition; check the firmware version and G-sensor menu photos to the left. Of course, also check out the full feature list, and watch our review and sample footage videos.
The 207GS is our most affordable HD dashcam. This model sports 720p high definition video at 30 frames per second.
The flip-down screen is a great feature of the DVR-207 GS. Use the screen for setup or to make sure you are recording, or flip the screen up to prevent distractions or for when you remove the dashcam from your vehicle. The screen also rotates up to 270 degrees in either direction (left or right), allowing for a wide variety of placement and viewing options.
The "GS" in DVR-207GS's name stands for G-Sensor. This is the first model in this style to offer the added benefits of a built-in G-Sensor. The G-Sensor will detect an impact and automatically lock (protect) the active video file from being overwritten accidentally later.
The 207GS also improves on the DVR-027 in one more important area: there are no longer any recording gaps between video files. The DVR-207GS features seamless recording; this eyewitness doesn't miss a thing!
Outputs on the DVR-207GS include USB 2.0, and an HDMI output for watching videos directly on your high definition television.
An SD memory card (8, 16, or 32gb - Class 6 or higher) is required for use with the DVR-207GS. The memory card is not included but is available for purchase above or on our memory cards page.

In earlier work, Potts claims that certain kinds of appositives are always interpreted as speaker-oriented. This claim has since been challenged persuasively. This data set addresses the question of how frequent such non-speaker-oriented readings are in discourse, and it should provide some clues as to what conditions favor speaker-orientation and what conditions disfavor it.
We began with 177 million words of novels, newspaper articles, and TV transcripts. With a simple regular expression search, we found 278 examples of appositives syntactically embedded inside the complements to attitude verbs. We went through these examples by hand, developing, where possible, textual arguments for what the intended appositive interpretation was: text-level or embedded. These arguments were then assessed by two independent annotators

Deja Nicholas scored 21 of her 35 points in the second half, including the final two on a lay-up with three seconds to play, sending Evergreen to a non-league win over Parkrose of Portland.
After jumping to a 20-10 lead after one quarter, Evergreen got in foul trouble and Parkrose took advantage with a 21-6 advantage in the second quarter.
Evergreen coach Jay Foreman credited the defense of Vella Jackson as another key player with her inside play, blocking shots and pulling down rebounds.
"I think we grew up a lot in this game," Foreman said. "We played a team that was nothing but seniors, and they played a little rougher and tougher than we are used to facing. But we hung with them and got the win. Hopefully, this is the type of win that will propel us to greater things later on."
PARKROSE -- N. Matthews 0, Ranch 0, D. Matthews 2, Joynter 18, Akles 23, Freison 14, Mitchell 6. Totals 23 (3) 14-19 63.
EVERGREEN -- Deja Nicholas 35, Bailley Simms 0, Demia Browning 4, Kristina Presson 0, Nakesha Hatchett 8, Vella Jackson 13, Moriah Doyle 1, Khadijah Kirkland, Lexi Burney 2, Keilea Swearingen 2. Totals 24 (5) 12-21 65.

ATMs running Windows XP robbed with infected USB sticks – yes, most ATMs still run Windows December 30, 2013 at 1:02 pm
A high-tech criminal group in Europe has been infecting ATMs (cash machines) with malware, and then completely emptying the machines without a trace. The group has not yet been caught and the attacks continue — and thus very few details have been released — but we assume that they've already made off with millions of pounds/euros. The best bit: The hack is carried out by plugging an infected USB stick into ATMs that run Windows XP.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee has joined the national Feeding America food bank network in raising awareness and funds to curb hunger in America during September's observance of Hunger Action Month.
Kathy Smith, community relations director for the local food bank, said the average number of people in Northeast Tennessee receiving monthly assistance from soup kitchens and community pantries assisted by Second Harvest in the eight-county area has risen to 39,000 and is increasing.
"Part of that is because we're doing a better job reaching people and part of it is because there is more need," Smith said. "What we're doing is just encouraging everyone to think of things they can do to make a difference and take action during Hunger Action Month."
Activities planned throughout the month include a weeklong Food Stamp Challenge being conducted nationwide by Feeding America beginning today.
Smith said the challenge is for households that do not receive food stamps to try to live on $4.50 worth of food per person per day every day this week, or the average amount people who receive food stamps have for food.
"We're going to do it in my little family. They don't know it yet but we're talking soup beans and cornbread," Smith said. "The art of cooking is really going to come into play. You can use coupons and other resources, but we were talking and someone said that will cut out all fresh vegetables and leave you with dried and canned. Four dollars and 50 cents is one fast-food trip."
During the challenge, the local food bank will also be posting different questions daily at its website,www.netfoodbank.org, and at its Second Harvest of Northeast Tennessee Facebook page to allow people who do and do not receive food to comment on how they are making it on $4.50.
At the same time, Smith said, the food bank and Feeding America is asking everyone to join them in asking Congress not to reduce food stamps and funding for other food assistance programs as proposed by the federal Farm Bill. Those who wish to learn more about the pending Farm Bill cuts or to join the Feeding America network in its message to Congress opposing the cuts may do so online at www.feedingamerica.org.
The annual student food drive in which area high schools compete to raise the most donations for the food bank kicked off at Second Harvest's new facility in Kingsport on Friday. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winning school, and those who wish to help can support their local high school by donating to the drive as it continues through Oct. 29.
And on Sept. 26, the food bank and many of the 200 area feeding agencies and pantries it assists will wrap up Hunger Action Month and kick off their holiday food drive season with the annual Hunger Convoy through the region, beginning at 9 a.m. at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"Hunger Action Month gives everyone an opportunity to join a movement that has a real and lasting impact on the effort to feed more Americans in need," Smith said. "Whether it's by raising awareness, making donations or volunteering, there is something everyone can do to get involved."

Projects Running : 1.SGSY 2.IWDP:
1) SGSY (Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana)
The SGSY self-employment programme has been launched by Government of India w.e.f. 1.4.1999 with a holistic approach by replacing schemes like Integrated Rural Development Project (IRDP), Training for Rural Youth and Self Employment Programme (TRYSEM), DWCRA, Supply of Improved Toolkit to Rural Artisans (SITRA), MWS and Gramya Krushi Yojana etc.

iv) Development of rural technology.
BPL families are targeted people to be eligible to get this opportunity. The beneficiary is named as Swarojagary (self earning person) and Self help group (SHG)
Self-Help Group :
A Self- Help Group (SHG) may generally consist of 10-20 persons. However, in difficult areas like deserts, hills and areas with scattered and sparse population and in case of minor irrigation and disabled persons, this number may be from 5.20. The difficult areas have to be identified by the state level SGSY Committee.
Compositions of the Self-Help Group :
Generally all members of the Group should belong to families below the poverty. However, if necessary, a maximum of 20%, and in exceptional cases, where essentially required, upto a maximum of 30% of the members in a Group may be from families marginally above the poverty line, living continuously with BPL families and if they are acceptable to BPL members of the Group. The APL members of Group will not be eligible for subsidy under the scheme and shall not become office bearers( Group leader, assistant group leader or treasurer ) of the group. The BPL families must actively participate in the management and decision making which should not be entirely in the hands of APL families.
In case of disabled persons a group may comprise of persons with diverse disabilities or group may comprise of both disabled and non-disabled persons below the poverty line.
i) Upliftment of BPL (Below Poverty Line) families in rural areas.
ii) To assist under bank credit and Government Subsidy.

(3) In case of SHG 50% or Rs.1,25,000/- of loan amount which ever is less.
(4) There is no limit in case of Irrigation sector in respect of Group finance
Present Status of SGSY
2) IWDP (Integrated
Wasteland Development Project )
The Watershed approach has conventionally aimed at treating degraded lands with the help of low cost and locally accessed technologies such as in-situ soil and moisture conservation measures, afforestation etc. and through a participatory approach that seeks to secure close involvement of the user-communities.
The broad objective was the promotion of the overall economic development and improvement of the socio-economic conditions of the resource poor sections of people inhabiting the programme areas. Many projects designed within this approach were, at different points of time, taken up by the Government of India. The Drought Prone Areas Programme (DPAP) and the Desert Development Programme (DDP) were brought into the watershed mode in 1987. The Integrated Wasteland Development Programme (IWDP) launched in 1989 under the aegis of the National Wasteland Development Board also aimed at the development of wastelands on watershed basis.
All these three programmes were brought under the Guidelines for Watershed Development with effect from 1.4.1995. Other major programmes now being implemented through this approach are the National Watershed Development Project in Rainfed Areas (NWDPRA) and the Watershed Development in Shifting Cultivation Areas (WDSCA) of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA).
The focus of these programmes has, with the advent of the Department of Land Resources (DoLR) shifted to the enhancement of the viability and quality of rural livelihood support systems.
While the programmes of DoLR are designed to address areas characterized by a relatively difficult terrain and preponderance of community resources, those of Ministry of Agriculture are expected to aim at increasing production and enhancing productivity in cultivated areas largely privately owned.
While the focus of these programmes may have differed, the common theme that underpinned their structure has been the basic objective of land and water resource management for sustainable development of natural resources and community empowerment. The Prof. Hanumantha Rao, Committee, constituted by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) studied the implementation and impact of the Drought Prone Areas Programme and the Desert Development Programme all over the country and recommended a common set of operational guidelines, objectives, strategies and expenditure norms for watershed development projects integrating the features of the three programmes under the MoRD. Accordingly, the Guidelines for Watershed Development were framed and brought into force with effect from 1st April 1995.
The objectives of Watershed Development Projects will be: -
Developing wastelands/degraded lands, drought-prone and desert areas on watershed basis, keeping in view the capability of land, site-conditions and local needs.
Promoting the overall economic development and improving the socio-economic condition of the resource poor and disadvantaged sections inhabiting the programme areas.
Mitigating the adverse effects of extreme climatic conditions such as drought and desertification on crops, human and livestock population for their overall improvement.
Restoring ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing natural resources i.e. land, water, vegetative cover.
Encouraging village community for :
1. Sustained community action for the operation and maintenance of assets created and further development of the potential of the natural resources in the watershed.
2. Simple, easy and affordable technological solutions and institutional arrangements that make use of, and build upon, local technical knowledge and available materials.
3. Employment generation, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and development of human and other economic resources of the village.
Self-Help Group (SHG)
The PIA shall constitute Self Help Groups (SHGs) in the watershed area with the help of WDT. These Groups shall be homogenous groups having common identity who are dependent on the watershed area such as agricultural labourers, land less persons, women, shepherds, scheduled castes/scheduled tribes persons. Around 50% of villagers i.e. who are directly or indirectly dependent on the watershed, should generally be enrolled as members of at least one Self-Help Group. Separate Self-help Groups should be organised for Women, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes etc.
Participatory Rural Appraisal, Community Organisation & Entry Point Activities
Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is one of the most important exercises in watershed development projects before finalization of action Plan. In fact the watersheds should be selected after due PRA and the watersheds with greater participatory response should be preferred. After sanction of project, the WDT should tour the watershed area extensively and organize various self-help groups, UGs and other groups. As a part of confidence building exercise, some community benefiting entry point activities can be taken up by the PIA directly. The treatment plan and interventions should be decided after elaborate PRA exercise. These activities can be renovation of village level school, Panchayat buildings, community houses, Common places, drinking water sources/ wells, bathing ghats, approach roads to water tanks, village roads, village sanitation improvement works etc. Water harvesting measures and improvement of drinking water sources should be preferred over other activities. The entry point activities can be undertaken out of the grant available for community organisation. Religious activities and activities for individual benefits are not permitted.
Revolving Fund for Self-Help Groups:
The PIAs will set up a revolving fund of not exceeding Rs. one lakh per watershed to be given as seed money for vocational development by the Self-Help Groups (SHG) at the rate not exceeding Rs.10, 000/- per SHG for undertaking income generating activities. This seed money must be recovered from the SHG members in a maximum of 6 installments on monthly basis. This could be reinvested in the same or other SHGs.
Success Story
"Swapnatari" - One Successful Activity Cluster of Birbhum District.
Selection of quality raw materials, latest design and Marketing of the finished products are big problems for the SHG members who are engaged in "Kantha and Batik" activity. To avoid this uncertainty of marketing and to reduce the risk of selecting the quality raw materials & latest design at reasonable price they are previously used to work under the middle men on per piece wage/commission basis even after forming the SHG and taking training on this activity. These middle men used to exploit these SHG members as they do not have any other alternative to sell their products. They were not in a position to bargain with these middle men for enhancing their wage or commission .Even if some of them deny to accept the offer others agree to continue the work as they do not have any other alternative to utilize their free time to earn some money for their family. To get rid of this situation and to earn some more money 64 SHGs under Bolpur –Sriniketan Block have decided to form one Activity Cluster on "Kantha and Batik" activity in the month of February ,2009 by opening a bank account in the name of "Swapnatari Activity Cluster".
They have selected five leaders who are relatively qualified, well trained and able to give time for the improvement of this activity cluster. As the SHG members have no permanent marketing outlet which can give a steady and certain market through out the year so they have taken the charge of one showroom namely "Swayambhara" at Netaji Market, Bolpur for marketing the products of all the members of SHGs. They have also linked their member SHGs with the SHGs who are producing the raw materials of this activity and as a result both the types of SHGs are benefited. They have identified the need of standardization, quality control, design development and packaging of their products and for this purpose they are categorizing their member SHGs. They usually hold a general meeting in the first Friday of each and every month where the SHG members exchange their opinion and share their views and by this process they can find out the strength and weaknesses of the weaker groups and give adequate support to the weaker SHGs so that all the SHGs can maintain similar product quality. They are also imparting skill development training to the weaker SHGs by taking fund from the DRD Cell where the expert SHG members are working as a master trainer. All the SHGs eagerly wait for the monthly meeting as in this meeting they used to get the sales proceeds of the previous month and get the order of their product for the next month from the activity cluster. This activity cluster prepares the roster of artisans (SHG members) who are interested and eligible for the participation at different SARAS fair. For the increasing urge for marketing their products they have applied for one stall at Dilli Haat, Pitampura . P&RD Department have granted their prayer gladly for the year 2009-2010 in the name of their activity cluster. For making their showroom more attractive they are displaying and selling the best products of other districts in their showroom. For making publicity of their products they are giving advertisement of their activity in the local cable, displaying banners in the important places of the district and distributing hand bills through the news papers supplies in the rural markets etc..
Observing these benefits more SHGs are joining in this activity cluster and at present their member SHGs are 107 out of which 82 SHGs have been able to enhance their income after joining in this activity Cluster. They are earning total revenue around Rs. 55,000/= per month through the permanent marketing outlets which is increasing rapidly after publicity of their products. Their smiling face is the true manifestation of their self-confidence and happiness.
Their future plan is to remove all
the exploitation of middle men and to establish a brand for their products which
will brighten the face of their District as well as State. For achieving this
they have adopted their strategy and they want that their Activity Cluster will
be a glaring examples for the SHG movement.

Hang tight!
Recipe by momtoellis
"A Cuban lady down the street made these every Wednesday...wonderful stuff! She served the beans over a bowl of hot rice, and garnished them with salsa, a little sour cream, and shredded cheese. It was also good without the dairy products. Can substitute canned, rinsed beans to cut cooking time."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 teaspoon

Great black beans! Very easy to make, and smells up the house nicely. I would use a little less pepper next time - was a tad too spicy for me. Make ahead - these were SO much better the next day. Thanks for the recipe!
First off: this recipe does NOT work as written with canned beans. I used three 15-oz. cans of beans and only 4 c. of water, and it was still way too watery. I had to simmer it forever to even get it close to not looking like soup. Now, perhaps this isn't the case when you use regular beans, and/or perhaps this is how soupy it's supposed to be. Regardless, next time I'll use at the most 2 c. of water, if not less. Also, this could use a few more spices; I increased the black pepper and added cayenne pepper.

totally worth five stars, and i don't usually like black beans! But my boyfriend wanted to try some because we have been doing weight training and black beans have so much fiber without the load of carbs in bread. we both don't like peppers or pimentos, so i just left them out, and i used canned beans instead of dry. The trick to canned beans is to pick the low-sodium variety with the most spices already in it. (More flavorful beans, the usual is salt sugar and dehydrated onion, but if you can find canned beans with more than that they're even better!) I used two cans, drained, and DIDN'T ADD THE 5 CUPS OF WATER!!!! this is very important, as a few reviers have mentioned their beans came out watery. The water is to soak the dry beans in, and then to be drained off. If you need some extra liquid while cooking the beans, add a little chicken broth. (Or vegetable if you're vegetarian) :) It turned out -so- good, i'll be making them often! Thanks :)
These beans were a perfect side to Tinga poblana de pollo. They have just a hint of sweetness and complemented the spicy chicken dish beautifully. I made them a day ahead because I think that beans, like chili, always taste better the next day. For those who had issues using canned beans, dried beans are healthier, tastier, and have a much better texture than canned. You do not need to soak overnight. Boil the beans in water for two minutes and then let them sit for one hour. Drain, rinse, and continue on with the recipe. I will use these as a vegetarian filling for tortillas, as well as a side.
Very good. Based on other reviews & what I ate a cuban restaurant, I left out the tomato paste and sugar. Even my picky 7 year old liked them. I'm not a fan of green bell peppers, but they blend well once cooked in this recipe. Different than our normal black beans & rice with cumin/cilantro from Allrecipes.
I'm not a picky person. These don't taste like the black beans I had all the time when I lived in Miami. These are very sweet, which I don't like when it comes to black beans. I don't like throwing food away, so I'm going to add hot sausage to it and hope that makes the taste better.
8/12/06 - UPDATE: I crumbled up some Jimmy Dean Hot sausage, browned it, and added it to these beans. WOW. huge difference in taste. It was actually good after that.
This is totally awesome!! I warmed some up at the office one day. The aroma made EVERYONE request a copy of the recipe!! We've had it over rice, with fresh bread, over pasta...even my 5-year old loved it! Scrump-dilly!
Good basic recipe, definitely not spicy enough for my family. If I make again, would have to add some chili powder, hot peppers, hot sauce, etc.

Sounds like a successful business to me. Understand that while all you environmentalists gripe about "green energy this" and "conspiracy theory that", ExxonMobil continues to do what a good American company should do: make money and pay taxes to the US Government. They paid roughly a sixth of the US defense budget in 2008 (something like 116 bn in taxes.. that's right, the US government made twice the money off of "exploiting the people" that ExxonMobil stock holders did). They're a business, they exist to make profit. Shame on you for expecting them to blindly cooperate with your vision of the future just because you and people like you will it. Especially when they have been researching new energy sources for automobiles and collaborating with Toyota on new engine technologies.
You live in America. Profit is a good thing, not obscene.
