An active shooter is a person who appears to be actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area; in most cases active shooters use firearm(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. These situations are dynamic and evolve rapidly, demanding immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to innocent victims. This document provides guidance to faculty, staff, and students who may be caught in an active shooter situation, and describes what to expect from responding police officers.
In general, how you respond to an active shooter will be dictated by the specific circumstances of the encounter, bearing in mind there could be more than one shooter involved in the same situation. If you find yourself involved in an active shooter situation, try to remain calm and use these guidelines to help you plan a strategy for survival.
If the shooter is outside the building
- Turn off all lights and close and lock all windows and doors.
- Close all window blinds and curtains.
- If you can do so safely, get all individuals on the floor and out of the line of fire.
- Move to a core area of the building if safe to do so and remain there until an "all clear" instruction is given by an authorized known voice.
If the shooter is inside the building
- If it is possible to flee the area safely and avoid danger, do so.
- Contact 911 with your location if possible.
- If flight is impossible, lock all doors and secure yourself in your space.
- Close all window blinds and curtains.
- Get down on the floor or under a desk and remain silent.
- Get individuals on the floor and out of the line of fire.
- Wait for the "all clear" instruction
If the shooter comes into your class or office
- There is no procedure that authorities can recommend.
- Attempt to get the word out to other staff.
- Call 911 if possible.
- Do not challenge. If flight is impossible, attempt to negotiate with the individual.
- Put distance between yourself and the offender.
- If possible keep an escape route behind you.
- Demonstrate an interest in solving the problem.
- Do not approach a suspect individual yourself.
- If you suspect the person is armed or see a weapon, call 911 immediately.
- Report a suspicious looking individual or activity to Public Safety at 645.9700.
- Give your location, name, and reason for calling.
- Be ready to supply a physical description of the individual: age, weight, hair color and length, clothing, facial hair and any other distinguishing feature.
- If the individual is in a vehicle, attempt to get the vehicle make, model and color as well as the license plate number, if possible.
- Contact Public Safety as quickly as possible while monitoring the location of the person if feasible.
Police officers responding to an active shooter are trained to proceed immediately to the area in which shots were last heard; their purpose is to stop the shooting as quickly as possible. The first responding officers will normally be in teams of four (4); they may be dressed in regular patrol uniforms, or they may be wearing external bulletproof vests, Kevlar helmets, and other tactical equipment. The officers may be armed with rifles, shotguns, or handguns, and might be using pepper spray or tear gas to control the situation.
Regardless of how they appear, remain calm, do as the officers tell you, and do not be afraid of them. Put down any bags or packages you may be carrying and keep your hands visible at all times; if you know where the shooter is, tell the officers. The first officers to arrive will not stop to aid injured people; rescue teams composed of other officers and emergency medical personnel will follow the first officers into secured areas to treat and remove injured persons. Keep in mind that even once you have escaped to a safer location, the entire area is still a crime scene; police will usually not let anyone leave until the situation is fully under control and all witnesses have been identified and questioned. Until you are released, remain at whatever assembly point authorities designate.

Brooks Brown led Georgia to the 2006 College World Series, going 8-4 in a team-high 110.2 innings pitched.
July 9, 2014
ATHENS-----Former Bulldog Brooks Brown became the 37th Georgia player to reach the Major Leagues when he made his debut recently with the Colorado Rockies.
A 6-3, 205-pound right-handed pitcher from Portal, Ga., Brown originally was selected by Arizona as a supplemental first round pick (34th overall) in the 2006 First-Year player draft. Brown, a three-year letterman at UGA, helped the Bulldogs advance to the College World Series in 2004 and 2006. As a junior in 2006, he registered an 8-4 record and 4.07 ERA in 19 starts covering 110.2 innings.
He spent the next nine years in the minor leagues for Arizona (2006-08), Detroit (2009-12), Pittsburgh (2013) and Colorado (2014). He had compiled a 50-64 record and a 4.29 ERA, appearing in 223 games with 139 starts for a total of 927.2 innings.
This past Sunday, Brown was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs, donned jersey number 51 and entered the game with the bases loaded in the fifth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His final line was 1.2 innings with no runs on one hit and two strikeouts in the Rockies 8-2 loss. Also, he had his first Major League at bat, and Josh Beckett struck him out.
Brown's wife Rachel, their daughter Riley, along with his parents Steve and Cam, were in attendance when he made his debut.
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old Brown made his second appearance, facing just one batter in the sixth inning against San Diego and struck him out. It came with the Rockies up 2-1, and he earned a "hold."
Brown, who signed as a free agent in November, had made 31 appearances for the Sky Sox this year, posting a 1-0 mark with six saves, a 4.35 ERA in 39.1 innings with 35 strikeouts. His 8.0 strikeouts per nine innings this season were on pace to be a career best since his professional debut in 2006. After a shoulder injury sidelined him in 2011 for two months, he started transitioning from a starter to a reliever. This has been his first year as a full-time reliever.
Last year, he spent the entire season with the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians (Pittsburgh) and logged the fourth-most appearances on the team. He saw action in 37 games including eight starts, going 6-5 with a 4.75 ERA in 91 innings. He had a 2.95 ERA out of the bullpen.
For a look at Brown's first MLB strikeout and an interview with his parents and wife during his debut, click on the video links on his bio on the Rockies website below:
Currently, there are four other former Bulldogs in the Majors: Gordon Beckham (Chicago White Sox), Joshua Fields (Houston Astros), Justin Grimm (Chicago Cubs) and Alex Wood (Atlanta Braves). Jeff Keppinger is now a free agent after beginning the year with the White Sox.

Poverty: 'What will you do about it?'
The Rev. William Barber, the fiery head of the North Carolina NAACP, described last week what he called a "moral crisis" and the "moral disgrace" of poverty in our region and in America.
Speaking to the Faith Summit on Poverty, Barber urged the participants to "open our eyes" to the number of children who live in poverty. "When we decide to accept that some communities are going to have 12 to 20 percent poverty and that there's nothing we can do about it, we must remove that blind spot," Barber urged.
He was speaking, we suspect, to the choir, a cliché perhaps particularly apt since the summit was at Union Baptist Church on North Roxboro Street. But the summit, spearheaded by retired Watts Baptist Church pastor and longtime faith community leader Mel Williams, was designed to rally the faithful to lend their weight and moral authority to combating poverty.
It as, as we have noted before on these pages, one of Durham's most challenging issues.
Our community in recent years has achieved considerable wealth. Home to thousands of high-skilled, high-income jobs in higher education, medicine and research, we attract the high-end retail stores, top-tier restaurants and million-dollar homes that would have been hard to foresee in the city's tobacco-and-textile manufacturing days.
But amid that affluence, we have a distressing level of poverty. Nearly one in every six people in Durham – 17.1 percent of us, according to the U.S. Census Bureau – is at or below the poverty level. By some estimates one-half the children under 5 are in households below the poverty line.
The reasons underlying this are complex, and there are no easy or simple answers. Assuring good educations for all children is critical – as is helping prepare for school children from impoverished homes where the intellectual and social-skills development might be far less than in middle-class homes.
Ensuring a social safety net, especially in times of economic downtown, is important.
Government must play a significant role in that, but so, too, must the community at large.
The Rev. J. Herbert Nelson II, director of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Office of Pubic Witness, posed a question to the participants at the faith summit that is an excellent one for all of us to ponder on this morning of the Christian Sabbath:
"The question at the end of the day is: What in the world are you going to do about it?"

ICBA Commends Magistrate's Decision in Texas Credit Union Case
Washington, D.C. (August 18, 2005) - The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) applauded today the recommendation of the federal magistrate to issue a preliminary injunction requiring the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to validate the member vote of Community Credit Union (CCU) in Plano, Texas, to convert to a mutual savings bank.
"We are pleased that the magistrate supported the arguments made in the amicus brief filed by ICBA, America's Community Bankers and 33 state trade associations that NCUA's action to invalidate CCU's member vote in favor of conversion was arbitrary and capricious," said Camden R. Fine, president and CEO of ICBA. "ICBA supports the right of a financial institution to choose the type of charter under which it operates. This decision is a significant step towards ensuring the right of every credit union to choose the charter that will best serve its members and community."
The magistrate will be sending his findings and recommendations to the U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Texas.

Tech Developer Adria Richards Gets Fired for Firing back on Twitter at "Dongle" Comment
Maybe next time those nerdy IT tech guys will learn to keep their inside jokes about "big dongles" to themselves, because those sexist under-the-breath jokes might just bring about a bizarre chain of events and get a bunch of people fired from their jobs all stemming from the 2013 PyCon tech conference, of all places.
For female technology developer Adria Richards a "dongle" joke was so offensive to her that she shot back on Twitter at the group of men who insinuated that her "dongles" (in the tech world translates to a device that plugs into a computer) were not actually a real dongle, but her bustling bosom.
Richards claimed that after she heard the sexist comments she immediately became uncomfortable and snapped a picture of the two men and posted it on Twitter with the statement, "Not cool. Jokes about forking repo's in a sexual way and "big" dongles. Right behind me."
Before you knew it the power of social media took over and the back lash was enormous. Shortly after the Twitter picture, a Playhaven mobile gaming platform employee got fired, and Richards started getting death threats. Some hackers (or it could be a strong possibility that it was fired Playhaven employee himself) hacked into her personal and employers website SendGrid with cyber attacks. Even her personal information was exposed online.
It didn't take long before Richards was fired for "publicly shaming the offenders," stated in the SendGrid's latest blog post by CEO Jim Franklin.
All this drama for nothing, or is sexism really a problem? But again this raises the issues of women working in a man's world. It's safe to say that the tech world is largely dominated by men. But don't get the idea that it's filled with powerful corporate man, it's quite the opposite. The tech world is submerged with those IT-nerdy types or "techies" as they like to call them. If you've ever spent a few hours with these guys or caught an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" then you know that these techies get unusually uncomfortable around women, especially beautiful women with "big dongles." So is this a safe sector for women to work in and fight back at a bunch of sexist slurs?
According to Nikki Stevens, director of fashion startup Engineering at Refinery29, "This incident is indicative of larger problems in the tech industry. What's hard is she isn't the first person to get fired for speaking out, and she won't be the last."
This can be blamed at the lack of awareness from men, and a nonchalant attitude towards women in the tech world.
Technology vice president of data analytics startup Jirafe stated, "There are so many incident in my career of guys saying stuff like that. It does occasionally go far. It's the rare occasion that I have thought there was anything going on other than cluelessness." Well, can you really blame them? A lot of these guys haven't ever had a real girlfriend; of course they're going to be clueless about women.
This nonchalant attitude towards women in a field that clearly lacks diversity has become the theme for Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg in her new book, "Lean In."
Sandberg thinks that in order to fight against sexism in the work place, she encourages women and men in the tech world to converse openly about gender issues, "We need a conversation that examines the barriers that hold women back and prevent us from achieving true equality. The blunt truth is that men still run the world."
Many successful women in the tech world seem to agree. Recalling previous jobs where she overheard office chit chat filled with sexist jokes and saw email lists filled with misogynist images, Carol Mirakove, the head of quality assurance at link-shortening site Bitly, said the PyCon incident was an "unfortunate," blow that came at the wrong time and that, "The technology industry cannot afford for this conversation to be shut down any longer. It has more open jobs than skilled workers to fill them, and all tech workers are entitled to a fair and safe work environment."
However, Facebook Sheryl Sandberg and other female techies think that having open conversations isn't enough. Her thoughts are causing the book to be highly controversial because it begs the question that tech women should change their behaviour and attitudes to get ahead in their careers.
According to PyCon attendee programmer and hacker Eric Matthes' blog, "Women shouldn't have to grow 'thick skin' to go into a technical field."
To many startup insiders, they believe that in order to bring about change, tech companies should hire more women in managerial positions and make them into company leaders.
But if you look at the tech world as a whole, a whole lot of women aren't jumping on the band wagon of becoming a techie because for one, a lot of women have no interest in that sector at all.
But for those women who are interested in careers in the startup world, they should know that just like any other sector, it's a safe place to work in and stand up for what they believe in.

Class-Action Filings Rebound From 2006 Low, Study Shows
Publication Date:September 28, 2007
Source:Daily Journal
Author:Gabe Friedman
Professor Joseph A. Grundfest is quoted in a Daily Journal article about the upswing in numbers of securities class actions following two years of down-turn. He does not see this up-swing as permanent:
This week, Joseph Grundfest, a Stanford law professor appeared at a symposium in San Francisco and predicted a "permanent shift" downward in the number of filings.
Grundfest, who also tracks shareholder class actions with Menlo Park-based Cornerstone Research, pointed out that, for the second straight year, filings are on course to fall below the annual average of 195 recorded for the last decade.

Sacramento – Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) has introduced the Domestic Partnership Equality Act (SB 651), sponsored by Equality California, which would eliminate a number of inequities that exist between marriage and domestic partnerships under state law.
"Because same-sex couples are unfairly and unconstitutionally prohibited from legally marrying in California, we are forced to enact yet another piece of legislation to provide greater equality to and security for same-sex couples and their families," said Equality California Executive Director Geoff Kors. "However, even with this legislation, there are more than a thousand rights married couples are granted that domestic partners do not have access to. Ultimately, domestic partnerships have never and will never offer the same dignity and protections that come with marriage. To ensure people are treated equally under the law, we must restore the freedom to marry for all Californians."
There are number significant differences between marriage and domestic partnerships in California including residency, age of consent, confidentiality and the exclusion of domestic partners from long term insurance benefits.
"By maintaining different requirements for domestic partners and married couples, California law continues to be inconsistent with the Supreme Court's ruling that all couples be treated equally," said Senator Leno. "This bill will remedy those final inequities, including the denial of long-term care insurance to domestic partners who are state employees and requirements related to age and whether couples live at the same residence. As we inch ever closer to equality, the only way to ensure fair treatment is to allow all loving couples the right to marry. Separate is seldom, if ever, equal."

More waterproof shoes
While I love the rain, I can't stand wet socks and feet. With comfort the most important in mind, I always seek out the latest in rain shoes. They look great in their bright colors and I'm able to enjoy the rain in them. Make sure your rain boots have solid rubber soles. Most importantly, look for waterproof, breathable shoes that allow sweat to be wicked away.
Sporto Women's Daria boot is awesome with its blend of suede and rubber waterproof shell. These shoes are functional, but their functionality doesn't impact the great style they have. The rubber upper with its padded, suede collar and old-fashioned boat lacing keeps my feet comfortable. The rubber soles give me good traction and help me keep my balance even when I have to hurry down wet, rain-slick roads. With three-inch heels and at ankle length, the shoe has a soft synthetic lining and a rubber outsole and looks stylish when teamed with jeans or regular pants.
Kamik rain boots are another favorite of mine. They are extremely durable and sturdy. The manufacturers are from Canada and really know what cold, wet weather means. While some shoes have Italian lining, others have wind-pro Polartec lining to keep your feet toasty warm. I adore the funky style of Kamik willow rain boots, which are guaranteed to bring sunshine and cheer on those cold, wet days with their bright colors like violet, green and pink. The synthetic boots with their sturdy rubber soles are 100 percent waterproof.
For me, rain boots are synonymous with color. Western Chief Rain boots, like their cowgirl-style pink boots with chocolate trim and moisture-absorbing cotton lining, are the ultimate in comfort and looks. The removable cushion insole and adjustable calf-strap with its 100 percent rubber upper and rubber sole are durable, sturdy and provide superb traction on wet surfaces. The Gumdrops rain boots from Western Chief with the polka-dot print and cushioned insoles are vibrant, and the adjustable gusset makes for a great fit.
Get solid waterproof shoes to protect your feet from the rains. Look for shoes that have thick and sturdy rubber soles. Chic rain boots in bright colors are the perfect way to brighten up that rainy day.

Pont Max Juvénal, Aix-en-Provence, France
One of Blanc's vertical gardens, installed on a highway overpass in 2008, is striking enough to stop traffic. Blanc writes in his book The Vertical Garden: From Nature to the City that when building open air gardens in temperate regions like this one in southern France, he imitates a naturally occurring gradation: starting at the bottom with plants that would grow in an understory (ferns, Heuchera, Pilea, Iris japonica), then moving up the wall with plants from rocky slopes (hydrangeas, Bergenia, Sedum), and finishing at the top with plants from exposed cliffs (conifers, Cotoneaster, Berberis).

Gear Question
will these work on any skin? Or just BD?...
will these work on any skin? Or just BD? How about BCA Magic Carpets?
Dave Marcus
You could rig these to work on other skins. Be careful that the pins are long enough to secure both sides of the brackets.

AWWW YEAH! Whose House? Shuck Yeah, it's OUR house!
I know I've mentioned Scott Sigler's works many times before… and I will continue to do so for a long time to come. Why? Because his work is fan-friggin-tastic and he and his Director of D∅∅m at Dark ∅verlord Media, A B Kovacs, are just bloody brilliant people. Literally bloody and brilliant. They are EEEE-VIL, don't you know.
Scott Sigler's third limited edition hardcover book in his GFL series, the All-Pro, is a rip-roaring joyride into Quentin Barnes' third Tier One season in the Galactic Football League (GFL). The All-Pro is as good if not better than his previous works on many levels. It's just amazing. The story and concepts he is delivering in his GFL franchise are top-notch and he's really coming into his own as a writer. Alone, just the story is enough to make you say, "wow, this guy is the next Stephen King… he's gonna be big!"
And if his Fan-frickin-tastic story isn't enough, yours truly (yes, me: Scott Pond) got the rare opportunity to design the 16 page color insert in this baby. To say I was humbled and overwhelmed and excited is an extreme understatement. I mean, come on… it's Sigler and his ever delightful Director, A Kovacs. Who wouldn't be humbled, overwhelmed, and excited to work with two such Amazing people?
What I like about these two is that they have a clear vision of what they want and where they want to take Scott's work. With such a clear starting point, the process of creating something visually for them is at the same time easier and much more critical. They really pulled out the best of my work on this one.
In this gallery, I've included pictures of each of the pages from the insert, an example of what the front and back cover looked like before and after I worked my PhotoShop magic, and details of the stadium pictures I put together for the insert. I have to say (with as much modesty as I can muster) that this is one of the projects that I'm most proud of. Thanks Scott and A for the opportunity!
While you can get a glimpse of the insert here, I have to be honest… the best way to see the detail of this is to order a copy. A and Scott did a great job putting this book together and it is, in my humble opinion, one of the most professionally produced books I've seen, one that I'm proud to have in my collection. Order yours today!!! http://www.scottsigler.com/GFL

Hannon Library Certified LEED Gold for Sustainability
The William H. Hannon Library is more than LMU's newest and most striking architectural landmark—it was also recently awarded LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in recognition of its sustainable design.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED buildings, are designed and constructed to be sustainable. Water efficiency, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation in design are all measured in a detailed points system that rate buildings as LEED Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum.
Qualifying for a LEED rating was a key objective when the library was planned and built. The architecture, interiors and landscaping around the library were all designed to achieve LEED certification. "Design features, construction methods and materials were all used strategically," said Kristine Brancolini, dean of university libraries.
For instance, Brancolini noted the ample use of natural light in the library, from the skylight above its three-story atrium to the floor-to-ceiling tinted glass windows that take advantage of the spectacular Pacific Ocean views while holding down interior temperatures. Even the lights inside the library adjust their brightness automatically based on how much daylight in the space.
Yet the attention to sustainability didn't detract from the library's aesthetics. "We have a nice mix of a modern look and a cozy atmosphere," Brancolini said. "It's surprising to many people that a sustainably built building can be so attractive."
LMU has other LEED-certified buildings, but the library is the first to receive a Gold rating. Al Tipon, director of the university's Facilities Administration, said that constructing sustainable buildings at LMU fits with the university's mission, and with the surrounding community. "I think the culture of L.A. is headed toward a more sustainable environment," he said.

I don't know. I don't think they should sue either but I see why they are. They probably feel really violated, even though it wasn't the hotel's fault. I know I would. I would have a hard time drinking water for a really, really, long time and they probably don't know how else to get peace of mind.
Becasue this is where I live I am well updated on this case. Just so everyone knows there is a bunch of video of this girl walking around the hotel by herself acting very irratic. We were informed of her dissapearance quite a while before she was found. I have no idea but I'm going to guess it was suicide. But again, I have no idea.

Those who seek out adventure are rarely satisfied in any experience until the next one begins, so it's fitting that this adventure was catalyzed by another. We began discussing gourmet food trucks during a road trip to Boulder, CO. The idea of owning your own business and not being chained to any single location by a "brick and mortar" establishment is almost synonymous with the adventurous spirit. These conversations that helped pass time in a cramped van, quickly transitioned into drafting up business plans, graphic designs, and searching for the truck that would drive our dream to a reality. The vision was simple: Create a mobile eatery that is self-contained, self-sufficient, and self-fulfilling; make delicious food that would greatly exceed "street food" expectations; source fresh, quality ingredients from local farms, mills, and producers; and ultimately create an experience that is unavailable from your everyday restaurant. We decided it was important for the menu to satisfy a variety of diets with sweet and savory flavors and to create meals that could be prepared for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It quickly became evident that the most effective way to satisfy these requirements would be through creations based on a distinguishable, house-recipe baked good...a waffle. We knew not just any waffle would do. So after many hours of methodically tweaking and redefining our recipe, we finally developed the perfect batter. Off The Grid's yeast leavened waffle batter is hand mixed daily using only fresh, local, and all-natural ingredients, yielding an impressive foundation for our menu. Fresh herbs, fresh fruits, and local artisan cheeses are then added to create delectable dishes that satisfy a wide range of tastes. All of our selections are prepared fresh the moment you complete your order, and not a second before, so you can be sure that your delicious waffle has been baked to perfection just for you. With a strong emphasis on presentation and flavor, our passion and love for food shows in each dish served.
As with any adventure, we will always be looking for the road less traveled. We will constantly strive to update and evolve our menu to include new local and seasonal selections and flavors to keep our menu exciting. Find the truck, go off the grid, and enjoy a delicious waffle creation.

John Milton wrote Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. After he died, his soul looked all around like a baby crying for the mother for seven days. The guardian angels took his soul to a world as per his belief patterns in after life. He was dumbfounded to see and find nothing as he believed or taught in his flesh. Every thing is different after death. The guardian angels took care of his doubts.
These are the few things I learned from you kids
I do not know what you have learned from skids
It is not fair for you to fight with flesh lings
As incarnates, witches, gurus and bigwings
I see for sure you will lose and Ephraim succeeds
Even if you incarnate and fake his sons and seeds
Your forty days are our four hundred years
Your test, our renaissance in literal spheres
Human pace of learning is different whether slow or fast
You seem to be fast thinkers and losers in this unfair test;
We believe in anything told but you have to follow up
Without which we stop believing even in facts we sup
Look into our religio, political and social histories
And see the spurns, stops, missions and mysteries
Some are gone without reaching regions remote
Like the aftermath leaving the fittest to promote
What is applauded today will be forgotten in the morrow;
What's denied today may become famous in another row
JM completed his teaching classes
And went to buy foresight glasses;
Mephistopheles took JM to a smuggled goods mall
JM got the right glasses; they came to a picture hall
Ate archeological snacks and watched ancient mariner
Returned to Dr. Faustus' palace; enjoyed spicy dinner
Both opened their hearts and sought for rapports
Between baby falls and humans in all life sports
We thought that the fallen ones brought evil to us
And thereby humans became born sinners to lose
All heavenly access
Forever in a process
That required Him to become avatar to save
From your hell, fighting with falls and pave
Road to heaven again
To a life without pain
And who believes not in His avatar' gain
Will die in hell living in everlasting pain;
This is what our coreligions hammered
I too dived in such belief lake rumored
In all my life I was timorous of you
Trying to avoid your entire evil cue
Now I know that, you are only different
And our freewill has both ends on front
I see what you mean said Mephistopheles relaxingly
We too have difficulties in knowing humans usually
As we can not see you but feel the thinking images;
Let me show you how we muddled the old colleges
Scene 21: JM saw the future history
Mephistopheles brought some more news channels and showed the ancient histories. JM began to understand the ins and outs of hell dignitaries. JM admitted that he cannot give them any practical suggestions because they are angels and he is human.

1991 Toyota Pickup SR5 3.0 V6 from North America
This is NO doubt the best truck i've ever had..
Maintenance, that's it.
General Comments:
It's a daily driver, that climbs, tows, & cruises on the freeway, smooth & comfortable.
I gave it a 10 all around, because it deserves it.
I can't say that for the new trucks I've owned & driven.
It's Feb. of 2008, its b-day was Aug. of 1990. I'm 5' 10" & very comfortable. The seats are still in excellent condition. Everything works & works well.
The A/C is ice cold when I need it, here in the S California desert.
Its reliability is impressive, comparing once again to those new trucks. No, it doesnt drive like a car, as some trucks do. When you're in it, you know you're in a truck. No, it's not 8 ft. to the top of the cab. But good things do come in small packages.
P.S. I checked previous auto as N/A because I've owned (you wont believe it) over 200. No, it's not a Lexus, that's my other car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 23rd February, 2008

Texas A&M's women's soccer coach is helping a former College Station toddler who suffered head injuries.
The Coach G Charity Bash benefiting Alexis Verzal is set for August 9 starting at 6 p.m.
It will take place an hour and a half before the Aggie Soccer Maroon and White Game at the Aggie Soccer Stadium.
Admission will be free, but there will be a raffle and monetary donations accepted. Raffle items include a chance to be a guest coach at a football game, a road trip to Rice University in Houston with the Aggie Soccer Team and many Aggie sports-related items.
17-month-old Alexis suffered head trauma at a local daycare April 3. Dana Munyon is accused of injuring Alexis, and was charged in June with injury to a child with intent of serious bodily injury.
Alexis and her parents, who worked for the Aggie athletic department, have since moved to Nebraska where Alexis is receiving care at a rehabilitation center in Lincoln.
Alexis has been working hard to regain movement in her limbs, as well as regain her eyesight. One-hundred percent of the funds raised will go towards paying for Alexis' continuously growing medical bills.
For more information about the charity event go to

PIPPA PASSES - The Alice Lloyd College men's basketball program, under the direction of head coach J. R. Hammond, has announced the signing of Harlan County High School senior Alex Sergent to an athletic letter of intent for the 2013-14 season. Coach Hammond made the trip to Baxter on Thursday returned to Pippa Passes with the signature of the versatile Black Bears guard.
"This kid is an excellent shooter," Hammond said. "And, with his ball-handling skills and great ability to penetrate, I know he'll be a perfect fit in our dribble drive offense."
After losing starting point guard Isaac Wilson to graduation, Hammond was on the hunt for fresh new talent to take over the team next season. The six-foot Sergent was the coach's target player, even though he spent most of his time on the wing in high school.
"Alex has the leadership skills that I've been looking for," Hammond continued. "He's been a starter all four years and was a huge factor in his team making a run to the 13th Region championship game. His teammates really fed off of his energy.
"After visiting us, he already has good chemistry with our other players."
Along with leading the Black Bears to the 13th Region title matchup with Clay County, Sergent helped lead Harlan County to its first-ever 52nd District championship in 2010. He averaged in double figures throughout the last three seasons, scoring 14 points per game and joined the school's 1,000 Point Club.
Upon being asked his reason for choosing Alice Lloyd, Sergent said, "I just fell in love with the environment."
He was also pleased to find that his friend, Barbourville guard Devon Mills, had also recently committed to play for the Eagles.
While at ALC, Sergent plans to study in the college's excellent teacher education program. His goals are to one day teach history and coach.

The Gunners booked their place in Europe's top-tier competition with victory over Newcastle on the final day of the Premier League season.
Arsenal were eliminated by Bayern Munich at the last 16 stage this year and Giroud wants an improved performance next term.
"On the bench (against Newcastle) it was really nervous," Giroud told the Arsenal website.
"It's always worse when you don't play. It was really difficult but in the second half Laurent (Koscielny), my French friend (scored). I'm so happy that he scored.
"The goal relieved us and we could dominate the game after. We became more confident. We had our destiny in our hands. It was very difficult but the finish was amazing.
"It's 16 years in a row we've succeeded to qualify for the Champions League. We knew it was really important. For me it will be the second season in the Champions League.
"When you play in the Champions League, you always improve yourself and it's better for competition.
"We are competitors and want to play in the top games. I really enjoy playing against big clubs like Bayern Munich. I would like to go further next year."

I wasn't expecting much, but the Ropa Vieja with rice and black beans was terrific... and I should know, I owned a cuban restaurant.... and made this dish myself. I'm looking forward to going back and trying other dishes (empanadas were tasty, but on the large side). If you order off of the 15 minute menu on the back, you'll be in and out in a jiffy.
Posted by Mrs. Izzy on 10/25/2007
My husband and I go here for lunch to treat ourselves, and everytime we have gone, the service is fast and the food delicious. It does tend to get crowded during lunch so I always make reservations. So far we've had the roast pork, cuban sandwich (w/ sweet potato fries, de-lish), arroz con pollo and their salmon salad. Their rice and black beans, so-so good. I even planned in advance to have a piece of cake w/ a candle to surprise my husband for his b-day in July, and they accomodated. I did not even request a type of cake, and they surprised us with their "Tres Leches" cake which was absolutely delicious...and the staff came out to sing to him. I did notice that the delivery menu is different from eating at the restaurant, so that's we always opt to eat there. Almost forgot, I had mojito once, and they definitely hooked it up for me. I also love the Cuban ambiance there! Overall service we received from them was very good, and they were attentive.

First of all let me say that I have lived in NYC my whole life, I am not a tourist visiting the theater district. My friends and I who are Latino always eat cuban food. So we decided to try this place because we were going to a play. The food was terrible. I am used to authentic fresh Cuban food. The Sangria was ok not enough alcohol. The tostones were so dry and without any flavor. The fried yuca was so dry and tasteless with way too much garlic. The seafood paella, rice was ok the the clams were sandy, yuch..... The soup was not hot enough and very salty, the pork was so fatty almost inedible. I don't mind paying $100.00 for an entree if the food is good, authentic and fresh and tasy. I was extremely dissappointed and would not go back again. Maybe people who are not familiar with the real deal don't know any better.
Posted by theatre goers on 10/16/2007
great food and atmosphere- the cuban sandwich w/ sweet potato fries is enough for two. the mojitos are superb- try ALL the flavors- but after two you could lose track of your hips and legs. great atmosphere--attentive service and the music is fantastic. I highly recommend.
Posted by Liars! on 09/20/2007
So me and my coworkers (all concierges in Times Square) decided to order food from this place after taking a reccomendation. We decided to order food and to my surprise when we brought it back in it was missing the sweet potato fries that come with a cuban sandwich (it states that on the menu). I called to say that they missed something and they said that I could only get the fries when someone dines in. WHAT !!! So you mean to tell me that I had to pay $9 for a crappy dry sandwich and it only comes with fries if I sit down. B.S. if I ever heard it. It will be my first and last time that I try to be nice to this restaurant. It is a rip off !
Posted by roadrunner on 08/17/2007
This is our second visit to Havana Central and we weren't disappointed. The cocktails, the food and the service here are always good and though it's not like the food your Cuban grandmother used to make, you can't expect it to be now can you? If, however, you want to go out and have some fun at a nice place and here some good music, check out Havana Central. You'll enjoy yourself. We did.
Posted by King Rhino on 07/23/2007
Almost $100 for one of the worst meals of my life. Paid $15 for their "sampler" appetizer platter which had about $1.50 worth of food on it. Everything was room temperature. I ordered the world famous "Cuban Sandwich" that was absolutely inedible.I mean c'mon.... How does a Cuban restaurant worth it's salt in NYC screw up a Cuban sandwich? They completely got my wife's entree wrongs. What should have been Arroz Con Pollo was rice and shrimp. Which in turn was a huge mound of rice with 4 shrimp in it. If this is any reflection of Cuban food.... Fidel Castro and Communism is the least of their problems.

This story takes place in a small town called Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania. A young boy growing up with supernatural powers, but he does not know it. On the other end of the spectrum is an unseen force, which is trying to stop him from growing up and stop him from getting his powers and controlling them.
Throughout Wayne Homza growing up he comes close to death. He also gets put into situations where he is forced to get angry with people so that he can cause harm to them telekinetically. As he learns to harm people he also learns to heal people, the more he uses his powers the stronger they get, just like exercising a muscle. All of this is to prepare him for a battle with the strongest evil person on earth. This story will come to a cataclysmic conclusion when both forces meet and the battle begins.
I was born in a small coal-mining town called Wilkes-Barre in the state of Pennsylvania. I lived in a house that was haunted which enhanced my interest in the supernatural. In 1978, I joined the Air Force and was stationed in England, where I started researching the supernatural. The Britons had plenty of spiritual churches in which to learn.
As most children and adults, I read a lot of comic books as well as Stephen King books. All of these books would spark even more of my imagination. My spare time was spent writing my first book; The Homza's Son. I published that book in 1982 and now I will be re-releasing it. Since my first book I wrote 2 sequels and published one of them: "He's Alive, BUT!". I also wrote a couple of children's short stories that I published: "Ma Ma, I'm Home". I presently have a son Mark in Pennsylvania from my first marriage and have a daughter Athena living with me in Elizabeth City, NC. Please visit my other websites at: He's Alive, BUT! Where to buy the book
The Homza's Son, can be found in the best bookstores around the world, or can be ordered online straight from Trafford Publishing: www.trafford.com/07-2262

Mark A. Anderson has created a frightening horror story. Wayne survived numerous near-fatal incidents as a child. When someone made him angry, something bad would happen to them. Wayne had special talents that were slowly developing in him. He can heal people. An evil wanted to stop Wayne.
The Homza's Son is an unusual story. The characters are well developed and multifaceted. Wayne was a little on the strange side. I was not sure I liked him. Mark A. Anderson's style reminded me of the master of horror, Steven King.

The Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford is a world-leading centre of pioneering research, debate and policy for a sustainable and inclusive future.
The great challenges of our time - such as rapid globalisation, population growth, emerging pandemics, or climate change - share one feature.
All refuse to sit neatly within traditional academic disciplines. This common factor makes these challenges difficult to grapple with, whether as individuals, businesses, or governments, and therefore for societies as a whole.
Our response is the Oxford Martin School.
For more information about the University of Oxford, visit the university website.
What makes us unique?
No other university, anywhere in the world, hosts a research organisation like the Oxford Martin School. Our community of more than 200 researchers, from Oxford and beyond, are working to address the most pressing global challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
Each research programme brings together academics from more than one field to create the collaboration needed for studying and tackling complex global issues. With more than 20 programmes, subjects are as diverse as the future of the global food system, geo-engineering, human rights of future generations and innovation in healthcare.
The unifying theme is that to qualify for our support, the research must: be of the highest academic calibre; tackle issues of a global scale; could not have been undertaken without our support; and have a real impact beyond academia.
We provide our academics with the time, space and means to work collaboratively and engage more effectively with policy makers, business people and the general public, and we organise a dynamic programme of events to inspire these audiences with the ideas generated by the Oxford Martin School.
The School was founded with the belief that this century, and specifically the next two decades, is a crucial turning point for humanity. The sheer speed of change means that we now have the power to destroy possibilities for future generations. Equally, we have the potential to dramatically improve the wellbeing of people across the planet.
It is this combination of urgency and optimism that characterises all our work at the Oxford Martin School.
Founded through vision and generosity
The Oxford Martin School was founded in 2005. It was made possible through the vision and generosity of Dr James Martin (1933-2013), who established the school with the largest benefaction made to Oxford in its history.
Development and Partnerships
The Oxford Martin School not only brings together international experts from different disciplines, but also a wide range of supporters who share the School's vision for creative research on the big issues of the coming decades.
All of our research tackles issues of global significance with teams of the highest academic calibre, and the programmes that we support must have an impact beyond academia. The School is designed to foster collaboration between cutting-edge researchers and external partners, and we seek out research that would be difficult to fund through conventional channels.
Our work has relevance to businesses and decision-makers across a variety of sectors. We are always interested in possible support for existing programmes, as well as exploring new projects and collaborations drawing in experts from across Oxford and beyond.
The Oxford Martin School welcomes discussion about potential partnerships. Please contact Julian Laird, Head of Policy and Development, on +44(0)1865 287356, or at email@example.com

Revolutionary War battle reenactment planned at House in the Horseshoe
A reenactment of the "fiery" July 29, 1781 Revolutionary War confrontation between Patriots and Loyalists will take place Saturday, Aug. 3 and Sunday, Aug. 4 at the House in the Horseshoe State Historic Site near Sanford.
One of America's most authentic Revolutionary War battle reenactments, this program depicts an actual raid and attack by the feared Tory leader Col. David Fanning on what was then Whig Col. Philip Alston's home. Free and open to the public, the 34th annual reenactment will take place at 4 p.m. Aug. 3 and 2 p.m. Aug. 4. Donations are welcome.
Played out on the banks of North Carolina's Deep River, this attack was made in retaliation for several atrocities committed by Alston and his men. To force the colonials to surrender, Tory forces even attempted to set the house on fire by rolling a cart filled with burning straw against it. Both sides suffered casualties but hostilities ended after Mrs. Alston negotiated surrender terms on behalf of Col. Alston and his band of militiamen.
The site will be open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 3, and from 11a.m.-3 p.m. Aug. 4. Militia demonstrations and periodic firings of a replica of an eighteenth century cannon are scheduled throughout the program. Besides the reenactment, there will be presentations of period crafts such as blacksmithing and weaving. Children will even have a chance to play colonial games while the parents enjoy handmade pottery on display. Also several suttlers (traders) will be selling replica 18th century goods.
Over 232 years after the battle, one can still see bullet holes scarring the walls of the house. This program was chosen as one of the Top 20 events in the southeastern United States for August by the Southeast Tourism Society. Attendees will have a chance to see the reenactment staged with accurate troop numbers, at the site where the battle was actually fought.
Perched on a hill above the Deep River in North Carolina's piedmont, the House in the Horseshoe was erected around 1772, becoming one of the first big homes in the upland North Carolina frontier. During the American Revolution, groups of citizen-soldiers known as Whigs or Revolutionists fought a guerilla war in North Carolina's backcountry (western frontier) against Tories or colonists loyal to Britain. At the time, the House in the Horseshoe was Whig Colonel Philip Alston's home.
In 1790, Alston sold his home and plantation to Thomas Perkins. In 1798, Gov. Benjamin Williams bought the 2,500-acre plantation from Perkins. Besides serving four terms as North Carolina governor, Williams had been a captain in the Continental Army with George Washington, colonel of the Whig militia, a member of the first University of North Carolina board of trustees and served in the national Congress at Philadelphia.
The House in the Horseshoe's mission is to preserve and interpret the history of the battle at House in the Horseshoe, the Revolutionary War in the North Carolina backcountry and the life of Gov. Benjamin Williams. For more information on the reenactment or the site, please check out our web site at http://www.nchistoricsites.org/horsesho/horsesho.htm.
The site is located near Carthage. From N.C. 24/27 in Carthage, turn north onto State Road 1006. Follow this road for 10 miles to Alston House Road. Turn left, and the site is at the end of the road. From U.S. 1 in Sanford, take N.C. 42 west for 13 miles to Carbonton. Turn left on State Road 2307, go 4-1/2 miles and turn right onto Alston House Road. From U.S. 421, take the Goldston exit at the brown House in the Horseshoe sign. Go west on the Goldston-Pittsboro Road to Main Street. Go left on Main Street, then right on Colonial Street. Go 3/10 of a mile and turn left on the Goldston-Carbonton Road and go five miles to the stop sign. Go straight at the stop sign for 4-1/2 miles. Turn right on Alston House Road, which ends at the site.
Administered by the Division of State Historic Sites, the House in the Horseshoe is a division of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, Division of Archives and History. For more information, visit www.ncculture.com.
For more information, call (910) 947-2051.
All public buildings at the House in the Horseshoe are accessible to people with disabilities.

More Texas Doctors Dropping Medicare
By KRWG News
Texas – Experts blame declining Medicare reimbursement for hundreds of Texas doctors dropping out of the federal health care program for senior citizens.
The Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday that more than 300 Texas doctors have dropped the program in the last two years, including 50 in the first three months of 2010.
The Texas Medical Association, which did the survey, said the numbers far exceeded their assumptions.
Dr. Susan Bailey, president of the Texas Medical Association, says if Congress doesn't fix Medicare soon, there will be more and more doctors dropping out. She says the congressional promise to provide medical care to seniors "will be broken."
The opt-outs follow years of declining Medicare reimbursement that led to a looming 21 percent cut this year.

TROY, N.Y. – Williston State (N.D.) won their second consecutive NJCAA Hockey Championship Sunday with a 2-0 win over Monroe CC (N.Y.) at Robert M. Conway Ice Rink.
Facing a Monroe CC team that hadn't been shutout all season, Williston State held the Tribunes to just 13 shots in the title game. Tetons sophomore goalie and tournament MVP Tyler Ampe earned his second consecutive shutout of the tournament – holding
both of Williston State's NJCAA championship opponents scoreless.
Tetons freshman forward Tyler Cavan scored the first goal of the game – assisted by freshmen forwards Eric Behrend and Cole Sonstebo – giving Williston State a 1-0 lead with 12:29 remaining in the first period. Williston State went up 2-0 at the 7:38 mark of the second period off freshman forward Trevor Hunt's goal – assisted by sophomore forward Dario Torres.
The Tetons clinched the championship with a win over Monroe CC for the second
straight year. Williston State defeated the Tribunes 3-2 in the 2013 title game.
Williston State's championship victory capped off their season with a record of 15-11-3. The Tribunes dropped to 22-2-1 after suffering only their second loss this season and first since November.
Williston State began their championship run with a 7-0 win over Erie (N.Y.) in Saturday's semifinals. Sonstebo led the Tetons' offensive effort with two goals and an assist. Ampe recorded seven saves in the shutout.
Joining Ampe on the all-tournament team were fellow Williston State teammates Cavan, Hunt and Sonstebo. The Tribunes rounded out the all-tournament selections with sophomore defensive man Taylor Weilert and freshman forward Dominik Gabaj.

After promising results in a Phase 2 clinical trial, the investigational drug veliparib will be further evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial among women with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The trial will evaluate the addition of veliparib and carboplatin to standard neoadjuvant (before surgery) chemotherapy.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy refers to chemotherapy that is given prior to surgery. This approach can make surgery easier to perform by shrinking or eliminating cancer prior to surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy also provides information about how the cancer responds to chemotherapy. Women who have a complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (a complete elimination of detectable cancer) tend to have better outcomes than women who do not have a complete response.
Veliparib is an investigational drug known as a PARP inhibitor. The PARP enzyme plays a role in DNA repair, including the repair of DNA damage from chemotherapy. Drugs that inhibit this enzyme may contribute to cancer cell death and increased sensitivity to chemotherapy.
The Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT02032277) will enroll an estimated 624 women with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. Study participants will be assigned to one of three treatment groups: standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy, standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus carboplatin, or standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus carboplatin and veliparib. The primary outcome of interest is how many women achieve a complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Women who are interested in this study or other clinical trials are advised to talk with their doctor about eligibility criteria and potential risks and benefits.
