Video: What is Behind Low Grad Rates in Buffalo?
BUFFALO, NY - The way the state education department calculates the numbers don't really reflect what is happening in every high school in Buffalo. The dismal graduation numbers led 2 On Your Side's Claudine Ewing to seek perspective behind the numbers.
If a student enrolls at a school and never returns, or if a student transfers or leaves a school, they are counted, even though they aren't there....the transient problems hampers the graduation number.
We spoke with one of the district's community superintendents who supervises principals. He provided us with figures for South Park High school. In 2008, South Park High School had 245 enrolled ninth grade students. 54% graduated in 2012, 13% stayed longer and will likely graduate this year. However, 31% dropped out.
Dr. David Mauricio, community superintendent for Buffalo Schools, said "when you look at percentages, there's a story behind the percentage."
For example, the so-called one day rule. "It used to be a student had to be in school for five months within that school year, in order for that student to be part of that cohort, that was changed about 2-years ago, and there's a one day rule. So if a student is enrolled in your school for one day, they become part of your cohort."
The numbers are not good on average. "It's certainly a challenge that keeps us all up at night. It is alarming, something that we're taking very seriously, There are aspects behind it that indicate that the numbers sometime aren't exactly what they're portrayed as, but it is something we have to strive for," said Dr. Mauricio.
The district is pushing for an 80% graduation rate in 2018.

Helena Bonham Carter is showing off what her mama gave her!
The "Les Miserables" actress posed in a series of "sexy" photos while on a shoot in London, on Friday. I'm not sure what "look" she was going for, but they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Tim Burton's obviously a fan!
Reportedly, the 46-year-old is taking a break from acting to support her famous director beau and to spend more time with their children. So, maybe she's taken up modeling?
If this is a sneak peek of what's to come from the "Harry Potter" star -- I'm definitely excited.
Click "Launch Gallery" above to see all her (sexy?) photos from the shoot!

Anyway, up next on the shooting gallery are the floundering Montreal Toilet Seats. The same Toilet Seats that are protesting an Anglophone for a coach. The same Toilet Seats that just got shut out by the goalie they gave away. Seeing them last in the division a rare treat.

Dean Armstrong
I'm Dean Armstrong, and I live in Helper with my wife, Stacey (Jewkes) and two sons, Tristan (6 yrs) and Noah (4 yrs).
My wife, Stacey, is from Kenilworth. I am originally from the Midwest, born and raised on the upper Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois.
I first visited Utah 25 years ago while earning my degree in geology at Northwestern University. Twenty years ago, I moved to Utah to run a business. Ultimately, I became a professional geologist and have worked as a consultant in that field ever since.
Stacey and I are strong supporters of the Helper community. We are regular patrons of Helper's markets, pharmacy, hardware store, bowling alley, restaurants, and gas stations. Our sons Tristan and Noah both attend school in Helper.
My professional career as a consultant to the federal government takes me across the country coordinating teams of people to solve complex problems with tight budgetary constraints. I think these skills will be useful to the people of Helper.
I want to solidify our economic base and make sure that whenever we spend a dollar, we get more than a dollar in value back. I want to access state and federal programs that can inject life and revenue into our community by bringing vacant or unproductive land in and around Helper back into productive use and I have identified federal programs designed to do just that.
I plan to use my problem solving experience to develop a plan for the rejuvenation of our economy, the rebuilding our city's revenue stream, and the beautification of our community. To do this, I plan to meet with Helper's business leaders to better understand their points of view. I also plan to regularly meet with Helper's administrative, operations, public safety, legal, judicial and educational leaders to better understand their specific needs and the obstacles they face.
While we know Helper is a great place to live, we still need to look outside our community to discover those things that will bring others into it. We need to welcome people and businesses into our community with open arms.
I am committed to working with all of our elected and appointed city, county, and state officials. I do not believe in a "winners take all" approach. No one has a monopoly on good ideas. The things that got us here today will not get us where we need to go tomorrow. I can bring a fresh voice and a new vision for Helper.
I believe in Helper and I am proud to live in Helper. This is why I am running for Helper City Council.
John Jones
I'm John Jones, a candidate for Helper City Council.
I was raised in Carbon County. I started my first job at the Woodsman Restaurant when I was 13. At 15 my dad bought a trailer park and needed my help there. By the end of my fifteenth year, I had started my first business, Handy Hands Ceramics. I was the first student at Carbon High to have work study at his own business. I graduated from Carbon High in 1982 and married my high school sweetheart Deborah Schade from Elmo. Looking back over the past 23 years, I believe this to have been my greatest achievement. That was the same year I received my real estate license and went to work as an agent for Carbon Emery E.R.A. not so much for the job but for the experience.
Shortly thereafter I had 19 rental properties of my own. In 1986 we built the Canyon Corner Restaurant in Huntington and continued with our real state business. In 1989 we opened John's Used Appliances in Elmo. The appliances from that shop were sold in Deseret Industries and pawn shops throughout the southern end of the state. In about 1990 we started buying properties in Helper, and in 1998 we moved to Helper. In 2001 we opened the Square Deal Used Appliance store and ran it tell I was injured in 2004.
I have three children, two by birth. Randy, our son, is attending CEU to become a welder. Amber, our daughter, graduated Utah State in May in finance and business. And Jeremy Hanson, our son-in-law is attending Utah State working on his masters degree in civil engineering.
I served on the Cleveland /Elmo volunteer fire department for 10 years.
I promoted the Helper Arts Festival from 2001 through 2005 and believe through the efforts of our committee it has tripled in size.
I believe that our children are our future. This is why I am on the Helper swimming pool committee. I would like to see our parks upgraded with new playground equipment. I believe this would move young families to Helper, and by doing so, would promote a strong future for our schools.
I believe economic development is the key to Helper's future. Promoting our downtown area would bring jobs and sales tax revenue to our community.
I believe we need more programs for senior citizens in Helper.
I believe that setting goals is the road map to success.
I believe in community support and fundraising where possible.
As you can see I am not afraid of work. Even though this is not a list of all of my accomplishments, it will give you an idea of my background in business.
Your ideas are important to me; they may be the missing key to Helper's future. Please feel free to call me.
I ask for your vote on Nov. 8.
Gene Carlson
I have been a resident of Helper City for 40 years.
We live in a community where there are many retired families on fixed incomes. I would like to see water rates rolled back to where people can afford to bring their lawns and surroundings back to where they used to be.
We are judged by what our community looks like. First impressions are so important. People coming to or passing through our community judge us by what they see. I think we need to look at our tax base and see what funds are available to do things before we start bonding the city, leaving our citizens with years of debt to pay.
I am in favor of doing all that we can do for our people and every citizen in Helper as long as there are resources to do so. I have had experience in handling large budgets. In my employment I've never had an over run.
I think we need to look at all city budgets to see if there is anything that can be done to run more efficiently. We need to pay our employees a living wage. They are the ones who keep our city running smoothly.
If elected I will do my best to work for you.
Jeremy Lamph
My name is Jeremy Lamph and I am running for Helper City Council. I have lived in Helper for most of my life.
As a child I attended Sally Mauro Elementary and Helper Jr. High. I love Helper and I will do whatever I can to make it the best city in the state. My family has lived in Helper for many years. My grandfather Glen James, and his father both retired from the Rio Grande Railroad. My father Randy, was employed by the railroad, and currently works for Utah Power and Light. My mom Cathy, has been employed by the Carbon School District for 22 years.
For the past three years I have been employed by the Carbon County Sheriffs Office. I wanted to continue my life in Helper and have purchased a home on Helper's historic Main Street. I'm sure my children will talk of Helper with the pride as I have been able too. Helper is one of the states most treasured spots and will continue to be with the proper leadership.
By electing me to the Helper City Council, you will be ensuring the decisions made will be made by a Helper native and in the best interest for Helper and its resident's.

The company I just started with has been using this technology for a while now. Cisco is about the only company that really has this figured out. For instance not sending voltage down a wire to a device that isn't set up for it.
Another cool device is the KVM over IP, which is essentially a KVM that runs over an ethernet cable. We use alot of these too so we don't have 3 cables for each machine in a rack, just one goes to the KVM for keyboard mouse and monitor.

Archive for the 'Yellow Truck and Coach' tag
Enter the Carcajou
Early version of The Carcajou with center-hinged hood. Photos courtesy GM Heritage Center.
You may, as many have, once wondered what you would do if you owned a car company. If you were Paul Seiler, president of the Yellow Truck & Coach Mfg. Company, better known as General Motors Truck Corp., then you would get hold of a preproduction 1929 Z-250 Yellow Coach, eight months before the public debut. As the Depression hadn't hit yet, you would convince someone in accounting to release about $25,000 to you, and have the factory build it into what was probably the most luxurious vehicle on wheels, The Carcajou (wolverine).
Does your Duesenberg have one of these? It does not.
Ostensibly, Seiler had it built to tour YT&CMC dealers and production facilities, and he did record at least 3,000 miles in it over the next couple of years. But it was also described as being his vacation home, and while it did seat 14 in day configuration, it seated them in easy chairs and couches. The Z-250 drew its name from a 250-inch wheelbase and had power from a 105hp Knight. It was reportedly good for 65 MPH and carried 65 gallons of gas.

Carbon County motorists should spend less time at crossings waiting for trains to pass as a result of the nearly $11 million in track improvements made by Union Pacific Railroad to the company's line between Helper and Grand Junction, Colo.
When the project is completed, the company indicated that crews will have:
â¢Removed and installed 75,600 ties.
â¢Spread 17,000 tons of rock ballast.
â¢Renewed road surfaces at 20 crossings.
â¢Installed nearly three miles of new rail in various curves.
Crews replaced the rail in the curves in February 2009 between the Colorado-Utah border and Helper, explained the company.
A second crew started replacing the ties and crossing surfaces from Grand Junction to about eight miles west of the Colorado border at Westwater on April 9. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of May.
Union Pacific invested nearly $43 million for capital projects in Colorado, and $47 million in Utah, during 2008.
During 2009, Union Pacific plans to invest $1.8 billion to strengthen track infrastructure across the company's more than 32,000 mile system, noted the representatives.
The extensive investment in the railroad's track helps ensure Union Pacific has the capability to offer quality, safe and cost-effective service to meet customers' current and future transportation needs, added the representatives.
Improved and expanded rail capacity allows freight rail service to grow, helping to build a cleaner environment, pointed out company representatives. Freight train emissions are two-thirds less than trucks.
Motorists also benefit from reduced congestion on America's highways since a single train can remove about 300 trucks off the country's roadways, concluded Union Pacific representatives.

Alderson now expects very few changes this off season
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterIn his August interview with WFAN, Sandy Alderson joked, "We can always make wholesale changes," implying that (if he wanted to) he could technically cut most everyone from the roster tomorrow. However, he acknowledged that such a move does not guarantee the team will be better.
Instead, he explained, "We need an infusion of players, productive players."
However, at the team's Holiday Party in Citi Field today, Alderson said he expects next year's team to look similar to last year's team, "with some exceptions."
To be fair, pitchers and catchers report two months from now – not tomorrow. Also, there is still the potential for trades to be made this winter and plenty of free-agents available to sign.
That said, I'm skeptical we'll get to root for a significantly better team than we did in 2012… and that is beyond frustrating and disappointing.
Interestingly, I've heard the Mets have a bit more money to spend this winter than has been reported.
The team opened up money in the budget by delaying payments to Jason Bay, as well as getting David Wright to defer 2013 dollars to later in his new deal, indicating Alderson may have up to $20 million available to him. However, it's up to him whether he spends it or not. The Mets know they need to be better, but he isn't being pressured by Ownership to win now at the expense of what's in the best interest of his long-term plan.
"We're not going to spend the money in mid-December just because we have it," Alderson said today, according to the same report. "We may spend it in January. We may spend it at some other time. We may not spend it. But the important thing is we have the flexibility to make a baseball decision about that rather than be constrained by sort of an artificial financial limitation."
In other words, as has always been the case with him, Alderson doesn't want future payrolls to be obstructed by lots of money in long-term deals to mediocre free agents.
For instance, in 2014, 2015, etc., David Wright and Jon Niese will get raises. Also, Alderson will need to explore long-term extensions and raises for Ike Davis, Ruben Tejada, Matt Harvey and other homegrown players, who at the very least will earn more through arbitration. And, since there will always be a need for low-risk, high-reward free agents to fill out the roster, I don't think he wants to limit his options by signing a so-so free agent to an over-valued deal this winter to get from 74 wins in 2012 to – say – 78 wins in 2013. It's not a big-enough bang for the buck, I guess, when compared to how the contract can complicate things down the road.
So, what? How does he improve in 2013 enough to keep us entertained, satisfied, buying tickets and watching SNY, yet also keep his long-term options in tact?
At this point, I really don't know.
There is still the possibility the Mets end up keeping R.A. Dickey and trading Niese to the Blue Jays for a young hitter or two. However, I'm growing more and more skeptical that either deal will happen, meaning the pitching staff will be mostly the same. I also don't see how Cody Ross accepts just two years to play in Queens, when he's still seeking a three-year deal. And, Miguel Olivo is never the best answer to a baseball-related problem, meaning the lineup will be mostly the same.
The 2013 season may be two months away, with plenty of time to make changes, but it's starting to feel like it may as well start tomorrow…

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer Reviews
I'll Take Too Faced Over Urban Decay!It's hard to keep up with the hype about Urban Decay's "Eyeshadow Primer Potion" ($20.00 at Sephora, Ulta, or online). Long after its introduction, it seems that I can't pick up a beauty or fashion magazine without seeing ad advertisement or an endorsement for this. Is it great? Yes. The pros? It applies easily, with just enough product dispensed from the clever tube and its small opening. O...read moreriginally, it was available only in "Sheer Nude." Now UD's icon also comes in a range of shades--from "Greed" (gold), "Eden" (a tawny matte), and "Sin" (glimmering champagne). I like the ability to use the primer as an enhancement to my shadow, not just a base. And, yes, it does last a long time and makes eyeshadow appear more vibrant. SO WHAT IS MY PROBLEM? A friend gave me Too Faced's "Shadow Insurance" (also $20.00 at the same venues). This colorless potion is available in a tube very similar to Urban Decay's, with a little less "glitz." The formula, with its silicone base, virtually applies itself and then locks to a finish that basically nothing can ruin. Just the tiniest bit--the size of a water droplet--is necessary to cover your entire lid. It sets immediately, so there is no "wait time" in your beauty regimen. (A tube lasts forever!) And, with two great competing products, Too Faced has proven time and again a longer, stronger ability to stand up to long hours, heat, humidity, and the elements. It's a tough choice to make, but I choose Too Faced (Urban Decay is a very close second). — 2 years, 7 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

TOO FACED SHADOW INSURANCE EYE SHADOW PRIMERI have a major problem with oily eyelids and eye shadow creasing, even if I use foundation or powder beforehand. I only use MAC eye shadows due to sensitive eyes. I LOVE this stuff. It works beautifully and my shadow lasts from early morning until evening. My only complaint is that it takes a little more blending to apply eye shadow. I tend to wear matte shadows though, which are already less forg...read moreiving then shimmery shadows. I was floored that there was actually a product that could keep my eyeshadow from completely disappearing. Oh, I was such a noob.... Since then I've tried so many of the usual suspects, UDPP, ELF, NYX, Tarte, Smashbox, etc... But I've recently come full circle with TFSI and I really love it. It is on the watery side, but I don't find that it affects the longevity of my shadow. My only 'complaint' is that it doesn't do as well of a job covering my eye redness, so if I wanted to do a 'naked eye' for the day, i'll go back to UDPP or ELF because it has more pigmentation. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with this product and will continue to purchase as a staple in my collection. I LOVE this product! I use this every single day and it definitely helps keep my shadow on for hours and prevents intense creasing. I use this for both shadows and pigments alike and I am happy with how it works with both! The packaging is great, good size and the squeeze tube lets you get every drop of it out, so no wasting product! The consistency is light and creamy and is light tinted but doesn't leave any color or residue on the lid like I have found with Urban Decay's Primer Potion. The only thing I dislike about this product is that it does tend to separate, so you have to shake it a little before you use. Definitely a must-have product that I would recommend to anyone and everyone! I used to hate this primer! Everytime I tried it my eyeshadow slid and creased! I vowed to always use my beloved UDPP and never use this again. My, how things change!!! I bought a Too Faced travel set and it included a mini Shadow Insurance. I threw it in my travel bag with a mini UDPP I had just in case I ran out and needed a alternate. One day and I was in rush and had to do my makeup in the car and grabbed this primer. My shadow lasted ALL DAY on my super oily lids! I was amazed! I thought maybe that was just luck and tried it again, Same thing. I instantly fell in love! The thing that I found I was doing wrong is not giving it time to set. If you put this on and let it sit on your eyelids for about 30-45 seconds before putting on your shadow, it will make it last 8+ hours. I now alternate using this and my UDPP and I am happy I gave it another chance. This product is a lifesaver to my eyeshadows. Alone every eyeshadow on the planet will crease, slide, and fade on me. It doesn't matter which brand they are or their quality - my oily lids just kill eyeshadows. TFSI is a miracle worker and holds shadows in place for hours and hours. I do find that if I apply too much primer it won't work so using a little bit is key and building up if needed. I put a tiny amount on my finger, pat it all around my lid and up to my brow bone, then *very* gently rub it in. (Without tugging at the lid!) For new tubes or if the tube has been sitting unused for awhile I find it may be a little watery but this is fixed by squeezing about the tube (lid closed, of course) and shaking it to mix it together again. With regular use this doesn't seem to happen. — 3 years, 6 months agomihshelle | 172 reviews

One of the best!I would agree with another reviewer; this and Urban Decay are about the best you can get. It also comes in a variety of colors. I have been using the "Candlelight" color and it is really pretty. I would just caution against using too much otherwise your eyelid will appear to be too "luminous" or "glittery" (with this color, anyway), or the creaser can end up creasing itself (hence the 8 rating). H...read moreowever, a little goes a VERY long way. It runs around $20 and this tube will last me the year; maybe even longer! What a bargain when you think about it. The Candlelight is a gold, luminous hue; very pretty on warmer skin tones and in Summer months especially. Although it can sometimes crease itself (I have actually had that experience with all decreasers) it keeps my exceptionally oily eyelids dry and my shadow and liners in place. I would definitely recommend. — 2 years, 5 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews

According to ACOG guidelines, patients between 24 and 28 weeks gestation will be screened with a 1 hour glucose tolerance test (GTT) by their obstetrician. Those with elevated glucose levels will undergo a 3 hour GTT. According to routine OB standards, if the blood glucose is elevated on 2 or more of 4 parameters during this test (> 95 fasting, > 180 at 1 hour, > 155 at 2 hours, >140 at 3 hours), the patient will begin receiving dietary therapy using ADA guidelines. If blood glucose levels remain 20% above a fasting of 90 & post parandial of 120 with diet alone during a period of 1-3 weeks after diagnosis, the patient will be invited to participate in this study. Type 2 diabetics who have been diagnosed prior to pregnancy will also be included. These patients may enroll in the study prior to 24 weeks gestation, entering at the time of referral. Patients who give consent for participation will be randomly assigned to either insulin therapy (the usual standard of care), or to oral Glucovance therapy (the experimental group). Glucovance will be started at 1.25mg/250mg BID. NPH & regular Insulin will be started on a 1unit/kg basis BID. Both groups will receive care according to the current standard for gestational diabetics and pregnant Type 2 diabetics. The perinatologist and diabetes educator will evaluate the blood glucose record and assess the patient's adherence to the ADA diet weekly and will determine when the insulin or Glucovance needs to be increased. If the patients in the Glucovance group continue to be poorly controlled with 4 tablets/day (5mg/500mg), the therapy will be continued and insulin will be added to the management. Statistical analysis will compare the two groups for myriad factors including vaginal versus operative deliveries, hemoglobin A1C, fructosamine, and glucose at delivery, infant birth weight, infant complications, initial infant blood glucose.

NEWPORT–UCA honored it's outgoing seniors on Wednesday during a doubleheader against Concord.
In the boys game, Ji Kim's hatrick set the pace in the Crusaders 5-0 win.
Justin Limoges and Ji Hoon Park, whose birthday was also on Wednesday, had the other goals.
It was a slow start for UCA, with the score tied 0-0 at the half, but the second was the polar opposite of the first, and the boys erupted for five goals to net the win.
The Crusaders also had a special guest appearance in goal as Marc Quirion played goalie for the last fifteen minutes to earn the shut-out with Chris DeLaBruere.
The boys were scheduled to face Williamstown on Saturday, but due to injuries, they are choosing to forfeit the game and rest their players since a play-off spot is locked up.
Their regular season record for 2012 is 6-5-3.
The girls picked up a 1-0 win on the strength of Laura Libby's tally off of a Concord defender.
The win leaves the Lady Crusaders unbeaten in their last five games (3-0-2).
"My girls played a great," said coach Molly Smith.
"I believe we can compete with the best. I am so impressed with the turn around we are having and it is coming at the perfect time as we clinched a playoff spot with our win."
Christina Maxwell was sharp on defense and Nicole Guest and Moriah Lafoe excelled in the UCA passing game.
Lydia Samaan had four saves as the Lady Crusaders move to 3-7-3 on the year.
They will be in action at Gardner Park on Saturday against Williamstown at 10:00 to wrap up their regular season.

This discussion group is an automated e-mail mailing list that allows for interactive dialogue between members of the American Camp Association. Messages, questions, and responses will be collected and sent to all subscribers once a day in a "digest" format.This allows you to pose questions and share experiences with your colleagues.
Please don't use this discussion group to ask direct questions of ACA. If you have a question for an ACA staff member or department [2], please e-mail them directly. This discussion group is for non-commercial purposes only, and may not be used to market products or services. This discussion group is provided as another member service to members of ACA.
If your posting does not draw any response, it may be too general a question for an e-mail reply. Rephrase the question while providing more information if you would like to try again. It is often helpful to follow the discussions already going on to determine the nature of the questions most successful at providing helpful responses.
No question should be considered too basic for the Camp Professionals Discussion Group, but remember the limitations of the medium - vague questions requiring long answers are unlikely to bring any response, and long essays are generally not conducive to e-mail discussions. If a long series of questions and answers will be required to explain a situation, it is probably best to ask for help. If any willing volunteers respond, move the discussion off the list and correspond privately.
Fill out the following form to subscribe. Note: You must type in your current ACA member number or you will not be subscribed!
Posting a message After your request to join is received and approved by ACA, you will receive an e-mail with instructions of how to post a message. Please give your name and e-mail address so people can e-mail you privately should they choose to do so. The collected messages will be sent to all subscribers in one e-mail (digest) to keep the number of e-mail messages received to a minimum.

Item # DMA0172
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Bike Socks we have in stock.
De Marchi EVO Socks $0.00
Cushioned comfort for your longest rides.
You've finally got the fit dialed-in with your cycling shoes, so now it's time to pair them with some quality socks. De Marchi knows the importance of taking care of cyclists' feet, which is why it created a sock that combines the same attention to detail and innovative fabrics found in its top-tier apparel. With the new EVO socks, you'll stay dry and comfortable, while still looking relatively 'Euro-Pro' in their mid-length cuff and Italian styling.
The EVO Socks were constructed from De Marchi's Dry3 Next fabric. This material's hollow polypropylene composition works to rapidly pull moisture away from your skin, which keeps your feet both cushioned and dry. This fabric was blended into De Marchi's Direct Vent system, providing you with maximum ventilation around the preshaped instep and mid-foot zones.
Moving on to the heel and toe areas of the EVOs, you'll see multi-colored fabric panels that're designed to further cushion and support your feet. This is De Marchi's refined padding system, which uses anti-blister with heel and toe protector technology to reduce pressure and skin abrasion in these areas where friction typically occurs. This innovative design targets these areas using a variable thickness Dry3 Next material -- thicker in the heel and toe for more cushioning and tapering out a thinner instep.
The De Marchi EVO Socks are available in sizes Small to Large and in the colors Black and White.

Great sock for hot weather
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Purchased these socks about a month ago and have done several rides with them - from 20 to 60 miles. They are very light and thin, so for the Florida weather are just perfect. The fit is true and after a few washes, they still hold the colors and form. Good product overall.

Yup... me too.
Hi there,
is anybody else experiencing problems when trying to get to LJR? I noticed this since a couple of weeks or so. First is was mysql errors (too many connections) but that seems to be resolved. Now every once in a while I get "Document contains no data" or connection refused errors. Could be my ISP but I don't have problems like this with other sites.
I'm glad someone spoke up... I was/am having the same problems, I just always thought that it was maybe me or my connection ??? I just usually wait 5-10 minutes and it seems to clear itself up
Me too, happening quite a bit lately.
I was unable to connect for like 1.5 hours today, around noontime. Same deal yesterday.
Site is blazing fast right now, though
[quote author=trickster link=board=18;threadid=7761;start=0#msg71737 date=1064950362]
This is still a problem...
I'm still having problems as well.

Senior Cali Moon fights for a rebound with a Monticello player during a game last week. The Lady Panthers lost the game 47-36.
While the end of play for this year did not result in a trip to the state tournament, the Pinnacle girls basketball team continued to take steps in the right direction this season.
In their second season at the 1A level, the PHS girls improved in many different areas. No where was that more evident in the win column. In the 2010-11 season, the Lady Panthers won just one game. This season they finished 10-11 overall and 2-8 in Region 19 play.
Head coach Michael Shaffer said the team showed a lot of heart coming into the start of the season.
"We had a great start to the season winning a lot of games but the second half was difficult dealing with injuries and a tough region schedule," Shaffer said. "But I'm very proud with how the girls fought through adversity all season long."
There will be adjustments to make as Shaffer will not be returning to coach the Lady Panthers next season.
"I really enjoyed coaching the girls this year and I think things are moving in the right direction for the team," he said.
The departing seniors on the team include Naomi Dalton, Cali Moon, Rylie Birch, Jordan Hamner, Shalisha Moosman and Shaelynn Hughes.

On May 16, Division of Wildlife Resources biologists swung open a horse trailer gate and watched a moose bust out and disappear into a stand of quaking aspen. Three days later, another moose was released into the same drainage on the Tavaputs Plateau.
Both animals had become public nuisances in neighborhoods in Logan and had to be relocated.
DWR wildlife biologists were happy to release the yearling moose as part of a new moose management plan for the Range Creek Unit. The plan was recently approved by the Utah Wildlife Board with the support of private landowners and the Bureau of Land Management.
The management plan calls for a herd of 100 animals.
Moose which began colonizing portions of the Range Creek Unit around 2005. Although moose were occasionally seen before 2005, they did not reside in the area year-round.
Wildlife biologists are unsure where the moose on the Range Creek Unit migrated from. Moose are capable of traveling long distances and may show up in unusual places-including residential areas.
Wildlife biologists currently estimate the Range Creek herd at about 25 animals. The biologists will continue to translocate animals to the area to reach the unit's population objective. In time, biologists hope to provide high-quality opportunities to both hunt and view moose.

In May of 2006 the New York City Council unanimously approved the Women's Restroom Equity Bill requiring all public facilities to uphold a two to one ration of toilets in the womens restrooms as opposed to the mens.
Under this bill one toilet in the mens room would mean two in the womens, and a urinal in the mens would count the same as a toilet.
Also any structure coming under new remodeling renovations costing more than 25 percent of the county assessors value of the building would come under the act.
Honolulu approved a similar measure on Dec. 7, 2006.
I know of no theater in Branson, Mo. that is not following this ruling. In fact some theaters are even doing more.
It is the mens fault that the Potty Parity Act has not been passed in Utah. But maybe not entirely; there are 27 active women legislators too. They must be bashful or it doesn't bother them to stand in line.
The wives of those male legislators could inform their husbands, "You pass this act or you go to bed hungry."
Women that go to the poles in the general election could inform their district's legislator "No action on the womens Potty Parity Act, no vote from me at the voters booth."

I'll bet if you know what Skunk Works, Phantom Works, Lab126 and A9, Jony Ive's lab, quattro GmbH, Velocity Lab, and PARC produce, you are on the cutting edge of tech:
The term "skunk works" comes from a tiny Lockheed Martin facility run by chief engineer Kelly Johnson in the 1940s, which started in a tent next to a malodorous manufacturing plant. That tiny space designed and built America's first jet fighter in just 143 days, and created a philosophy for rapid innovation which companies copy to this day.
Now, as more companies have to do more with less, many are moving away from giant research centers and towards building something like a lean start-up inside their companies. Others have the luxury of a different model, where secretive labs work on projects that may never see the light of day.
A jet in 143 days? Wow- Maltz, jol yIchu!

Examining the Ability of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV2) Therapy to Reduce HIV Target Cell Numbers in the Cervix

- How to Read a Study Record
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2), the most common cause of genital herpes, increases a woman's risk of HIV acquisition from 3-6 fold, perhaps because HSV2-infected women have increased numbers of HIV "target cells" (CD4 T cells and dendritic cells) in the cervical mucosa. However, recent clinical trials showed no impact of HSV2 suppression on HIV acquisition rates. The reasons for this negative result are unclear. The investigators propose to examine the effect of valacyclovir (a widely used herpes medication) treatment on cervical immunology and HIV target cells in the cervix. The study will take the form of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Primary endpoints will be (1) the number of CD4 T cells on a cervical cytobrush and (2) the number of immature dendritic cells per cervical cytobrush.
