A NEW PAGE IN Continuum's HISTORY:
After almost 8 yrs at 199 Avenue b, Earthtruks llc / Continuum, a bicycle shop and the newly added Continuum Coffee closed in November of 2013. After almost a year of looking, Amanda, Jeff and Fritz and now the newest addition, Bill were able to find an amazing new spot for the new CC Cycley & Co. on 13th st. Right around the corner from the old shop.
At CC Cyclery, we pride ourselves on our mechanical prowess with a variety of bicycles, not to mention our in-the-pits racing expertise and historical knowledge of bikes from every era. With cycling technology changing ever so rapidly, our breadth of knowledge needs to be as varied as the selection of bikes in our retail shop—which is a lot.
On any given day, you can find a range of bicycles for sale that would be unusual for most shops. While we stock and work on bikes that use the newest technology, we are equally adept working on vintage bikes. This competency comes from experience, ability to adapt to the newest technology, tools and materials- and most importantly- passion.
"Selling a complete production bike is great, especially when the customer finds everything they need, all in a prebuilt production bike. Though custom building bikes is what I love to do. Working with and helping a customer one-on-one deciding on every single part together. The end result? Someone who has not only a bike but something they created and personalized to fit them in every way possible. Down to the smallest details . From what length top tube with the frame design to what color spoke nipple is used on the wheel build. These are details that most dont even think about. I love my job"
– Jeff Underwood-Head Mechanic, CC Cyclery & Co. (Founder/Designer , Continuum Cycles)

Holiday, Florida- Surveillance video is being released in the case of a naked man who attacked a clerk at a 7-Eleven and later led deputies on a car chase.
Pasco deputies say aman matching 30-year-old Abraham Andres Luna's description was spotted Monday evening wearing only construction boots near the Tarpon Springs Golf Course. Tarpon Springs Police responded, but did not find the suspect.
Several hours later, police in Tarpon Springs tried stopping a white van driving at a high rate of speed on US 19. The pursuit was called off after the vehicle entered Pasco County.
Deputies say the van, driven by a still-nakedLuna, stopped at a 7-Eleven located at U.S. 19 and Flora in Holiday shortly before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. Luna then allegedly assaulted a clerk inside the store.
On Thursday investigators released surveillance video of the 7-Eleven incident.
After leaving the convenience store, Luna allegedly took off in his van, driving the wrong way on US 19. Heside-swiped a police car before deputies finally caught him on foot.
There is still no word on why he was naked.

1800 rainbow trout and 200 Brook Trout will be released. Brook Trout caught during the event times listed, can be turned in to MCCB staff present for prizes. This event is a great way to introduce new anglers to the joys of fishing.
This event is FREE, but anglers must be properly licensed, and bring their own fishing equipment. Children under 16 may fish for and possess trout if they fish with an adult who has a valid fishing license and trout stamp. However, their combined daily limit is five trout. Children under 16 may purchase their own stamp which allows them to keep their own five trout limit. They do not need a fishing license.

While growing up in the limelight isn't easy--we've seen many lovely ladies attempt it with mixed results--Alexis Bledel has risen like a sartorially savvy phoenix from her coffee-swigging, sweater-and-jeans days as Rory on Gilmore Girls to become a graceful young woman with a singular sense of style. Working with stylists Kemal + Karla, lately the actress has created loads of memorable red-carpet moments marked by a cohesive selection of classic silhouettes and captivating footwear. Always feminine, but never fussy, the stunning brunette's highly polished outfits are just as exciting as her upcoming projects. With a slate of movies set to premiere after the first of the year and an unfailing intuition for how to expertly assemble a cocktail look, we're sure Bledel will continue to step out in equally laudable ensembles making her the ideal subject for today's Style Spotlight.
While we could wax poetic about the many ways in which Bledel's sartorial selections garner A+ rankings, her eye for a truly unique and exciting cocktail frock is decidedly noteworthy. Take, for example, her appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue store in New York earlier this fall to celebrate W Magazine's September issue (bottom row, left). The Burnished Gold Dress ($2495) from Prabal Gurung's F/W 10 collection is absolutely stunning--we love the one-shouldered ruffled silhouette and the rich metallic sheen--and we appreciate how she kept her accessories simple with Cecelia's Black Python Convertible Clutch ($750), Giuseppe Zanotti's Suede and Patent-Leather Pumps ($650), and the lust-worthy French Galalith Bracelet ($1480) from House of Lavande. The overall look is festive, yet refined, and--take note, dear readers--serves as ideal inspiration for the upcoming holiday season! Bledel opted for another standout dress--this time with rich dark waves--in a similarly restrained black-and-gold palette for the Independent Filmmaker Project's spring gala in New York last May (far right). The 3.1 Phillip Lim dress (which is from the S/S 10 collection) offers a cerebral mix of black lace and patterned appliqué, a combination that's architecturally intriguing and spot-on for the artistic nature of the evening's event. Additionally, Bledel's eye-catching footwear, Loeffler Randall's Keira Snap Sandals ($695), is delightfully unexpected, providing yet another layer of graphic interest to her overall look. However, Bledel doesn't always opt for decadent cocktail attire; sometimes she picks a chic, understated dress, as demonstrated at a benefit for the arts in public schools this past September (bottom row, right). There, Bledel effused a sleek femininity--and a touch of downtown cool--when she contrasted a silky button-down dress with edgy cut-out heels and blunt bangs.
While thus far you may have noted that our rising style star often favors a neutral palette, occasionally Bledel uses a dash of on-trend color or a touch of pattern (or both!) to spice up her look. Case in point: to attend the Elle RISD Design Awards at Lincoln Center during fashion week, she started with an unfussy base of Carven's Flannel Dress ($740), added some classic-minded baubles with a Dea Ring ($6500, 310.395.6706) and Alladin Earrings ($2400, 310.395.6706) both by Jamie Wolf, and then swiftly incorporated two of fall's key trends via a leopard-print clutch and Charlotte Olympia's Red Paloma Pumps ($996) (top row, right). The overall result is a sleek look constructed from a well-balanced mix of staple pieces and more cutting-edge items. Adhering to this same passion for crimson heels, yet this time being a wee more adventurous in the trend-indulging department, Bledel chose an of-the-moment Isabel Marant Wilfried Lurex Sweater ($405, 212.219.2284), MiH's Paris Kokomo Jeans ($174, 305.576.0056), and a Stella McCartney satin blazer ($1895) from S/S 11 for Mulberry's fashion week party at Soho House in New York with other PYTs like Kate Bosworth, Alexa Chung, and Dree Hemingway (top row, left). She finalized the look with a Russell Jones Ring, Cecelia's Black Python Convertible Clutch ($790)--we love the textural mix at play--and red Sergio Rossi pumps.
Finally, when it comes to fall's minimalist looks, Bledel proved she is pro at interpreting this top runway trend when she attended the launch party for the Vogue Eyewear / CFDA Capsule Collection and the YSL Belle D'Opium fragrance launch earlier this year. For the former event, our muse of the day infused traditional menswear with effortless sex appeal by pairing alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet's Patty Button Down from their pre-fall collection with Helmut Lang's Smoking Wool Pleated Pants ($345, 323.951.0994) for a strikingly chic look (bottom row, center). Bledel brought in her usual artful flair via a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Rosette Heels ($925, 305.868.0133), Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co.'s Bone Cuff ($800, 800.526.0649), and Judith Leiber's Alleta Minaudiere ($1495). And last but not least, for the aforementioned YSL event, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star looked ever the lady in head-to-toe YSL, selecting a black mid-calf length dress from the Edition 24 capsule collection and shoes from S/S 10 (top row, center). Bledel's beauty look of a slick-backed bun and statement earrings completed the outfit, adding up to a sophisticated ensemble that truly reflects her burgeoning sartorial maturity.
While Bledel does have an eye for the finer things, approximating her signature soignée can be a piece of cake with the right pieces! First upgrade your wardrobe with a few key cocktail dresses; we like Penumbra's Drape Dress ($250) for a ladylike version that still has some slinky sex appeal or Robert Rodriguez's Black Label One Shoulder Draped Cocktail Dress ($540) for an au courant metallic iteration--perfect for the holidays!--that's nearly identical to Bledel's Prabal Gurung pick. However, if you dig our style subject's taste in simple, sleek frocks, we'd recommend scooping up Acne's Awesome Silk Shirtdress ($269)--note the chic, uneven hem--or James Perse's Cotton Twill Shirt Dress ($225) for a more daytime friendly version. Pair either with Aldo's Alimo Shoes ($42) for a fashion-forward vintage-inspired look with individualist appeal.
Next, if the subtly trend-driven ensemble Bledel wore to the Elle RISD soiree struck your fancy, we can get you on your way to channeling that exact outfit. While Bledel's two-tone look is actually a single Carven dress, you can achieve a similar result with separates by pairing alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet's Amy Pleated Shoulder Top ($121) with Z Spoke by Zac Posen's Felted Wool Skirt ($235). Add the necessary on-point accoutrements like ASOS' Dune Leonardo Print Envelope Clutch Bag ($95) and slip on a pair of directional pumps--either Charles by Charles David's Pure Pumps ($83) or Christian Louboutin's Bianca Back Zip Pumps ($845) will do the trick--and you'll have a head-to-toe Bledel-inspired ensemble.
Finally, one of the most striking aspects of Bledel's style is her perennial polish, so we suggest infusing your wardrobe with a similar sense of refinement with a few key investment pieces. A great blazer, like Bledel's Stella McCartney version, is always an essential, so get your hands on Topshop's Shawl Collar Tux Jacket ($110) which looks equally lovely with skinny jeans or a winter-floral frock. Next, scoop up a sturdy pair of black pumps--a must-have for any wardrobe--like Miu Miu's Black Patent Leather Platform Pumps ($448). Finally, snatch up an evening-worthy clutch like Ted Baker's Bobble Kisslock Leather Clutch ($73) to accent everything from slacks and a button-down to an LBD and you'll invoke an air of sartorial sophistication wherever you go!--Liza Kaplan

The following blog is written by Maria Walker, Reservations Manager at English Lakes Support Office.
The picture I see each day is different depending on the weather and time of day. I ask myself on many occasions how people can take this area for granted?
I have been working at English Lakes Support Office situated at the rear of Low Wood Bay as Reservations Manager since 2004. The drive from my home to Low Wood Bay is tree lined with lovely views but as I reach the corner of Low Wood Bay I get a feeling of anticipation as the trees and buildings open up to the splendor of the Lake and the impressive Langdale Pikes framing this amazing expanse of water.
At the rear of the office (Staff car park) their are miles of fells scattered with sheep and woodland that is teaming with wild life, this morning before walking in the back door I took a walk up the little hill to checkout the view and could hear a rustling in the trees and came face to face with a stunning young red deer, walking back to the office with a smile on my face listening to the different sounds of the early morning bird calls I realise how inspirational this area is.
You may go the same route each day wherever it is, but your picture will always be different. I Love where I live.

Meteorites Compact Pressed Powder
Meteorites Compact Pressed Powder has a super-soft, lightweight texture that doesn't look cakey.
Lingerie de Peau Invisible Skin Fusion Foundation SPF 20
Although the claims are a bit hokey, this is an excellent liquid foundation that looks beautifully natural.
Guerlain At-A-Glance
Strengths: Lavish packaging (if that appeals to you); a good mascara; some excellent lipsticks.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; over-reliance on jar packaging; pervasive fragrance; overall mediocre to just plain bad skincare.
Guerlain's Paris pedigree, having evolved from a centuries-old fragrance house to a "lifestyle" line that prides itself on luxurious indulgences that promise to beautify (and perfume) almost every inch of you, still manages to hook plenty of unsuspecting women. Yet behind all of the enticing names and extraordinary claims lie some of the most unremarkable, overpriced skin-care products available. It may sound luxurious to find that gold is included in some of their formulations, unless you happen to know that when it's applied topically, gold is simply a potent allergen; there is no research showing it to have any effect on wrinkles or aging.
Guerlain's skin-care products contain a preponderance of ordinary cosmetic ingredients, with only a smattering of antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, and anti-irritants, and most of these elegant ingredients are hindered by jar packaging. It's one thing to spend more than you need to on a skin-care routine, but at least if you decide to do so you should shop the overpriced lines that will reward you with far better formulations than what Guerlain offers. Guerlain is the very definition of style usurping substance. For example, there are dozens and dozens of moisturizers in this line that are at best described as mediocre and out of date, while the sunscreens have issues of their own, including low SPF ratings and potentially insufficient UVA protection due to smaller-than-usual amounts of avobenzone. And despite the specialty claims they make for each product grouping, repetitive formulations are the hallmark of the Guerlain line—too bad not a single moisturizer or serum formula comes close to beating the competition; more often than not they fail miserably.
Guerlain has been under the ownership of Sephora parent company Louis Vuitton-Moet-Hennessy since 1994, and is available in many Sephora boutiques.

Stella McCartney launches her newest fragrance, L.I.L.Y, exclusively with Selfridges Oxford Street, London
L.I.L.Y is a journey through the senses. It begins with the smell of a spring morning, dappled sunlight through the trees, a vision of delicate lily of the valley. It is the passage of time across a forest floor. The touch of moss and the darker intensity of truffles. More masculine and earthy, but still seductive and sensual.
Like Stella McCartney's first fragrance, STELLA Eau de Parfum, whose feminine rose notes contrasted with the intense and mysterious amber base, L.I.L.Y celebrates balance and tension, bringing together the male and female and capturing forever the explosion of that moment.
L.I.L.Y launches exclusively with Selfridges in London January 26th, and nationwide in the UK February 15th. Stay in touch to find out when L.I.L.Y launches near you.

Members of the Department of Psychiatry celebrated its newly established Center for Diversity during a May 21 ceremony in the O'Keeffe Auditorium.
Psychiatry launches Center for Diversity
CELEBRATING DIVERSITY: From left, Albert Yeung, MD, associate director of the Center for Diversity; Parekh; David F. Torchiana, MD, MGPO chairman and CEO; Olayan; Rosenbaum; Estee Sharon, PsyD, associate director of the Center for Diversity; and Cathy E. Minehan, chair of the MGH Board of Trustees
Members of the Department of Psychiatry celebrated its newly established Center for Diversity during a May 21 ceremony in the O'Keeffe Auditorium.
"Over the past two decades, MGH presidents have called on department chairs and hospital leaders to make diversity an institutional priority," said Jerrold F. Rosenbaum, MD, chief of Psychiatry. "The MGH Department of Psychiatry first responded 15 years ago by creating a formal Diversity Committee. Now we are transforming it into the Center for Diversity."
The center's new director is psychiatrist Ranna I. Parekh, MD, MPH, who chaired the committee for the last five years. "The center will continue to expand on four areas – intercultural education, research with an emphasis on disparities, mental health research, work force diversity and building partnerships throughout the hospital and community," said Parekh.
The inaugural celebration featured remarks from Lubna Olayan, CEO of the Olayan Financing Company, a global investment firm with operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the Middle East. In her speech, Olayan explained the need to go beyond diversity and embrace equality. "Diversity simply for the sake of diversity benefits no one," she said. "I would argue that we need to move away from a focus on differences, even if the goal is to celebrate them, and instead focus on equality – gender equality, racial equality, religious equality and equality of opportunity – and also work to ensure that all people, regardless of gender, race or religion, have the opportunity to achieve financial independence and to retain their dignity as a human being."

I want to change the rendering size of the text when I am in run level 3 (console, no X session). I just wanted to shink everything down so it doesn't wrap so many times. I like smaller text too ;-) Any one know where I can change this setting at?
are you using framebuffers?
No, I didn't compile that into the kernel. I was wondering if there was a way to specify it without using a framebuffer.
i don't believe you can make the chars smaller without a frame buffer, i _think_ different fonts *may* be possible (check out the consolechars command, i haen't used it so i'm not sure if it will help). But I'm pretty sure your stuck with the same size.
Wenn Sie Spaß meines Englisch mich Willensfuckingtötung Sie bilden.
Thanks CT, that is exactly what I was looking for. I decided to use drdos8x8 font, makes it so I can fit more on the screen.
/me stands corrected and adds that tidbit of knowledge to his ever-increasing self-contained *nix KB
I think you can use fbset too, if you use a framebuffer.
This is where Slackware comes to shine. It allows you to select a custom console font at the install. *sneak ad*
I knew I could do it if I was using framebuffer, but I wasn't so I had to go old skool. And Slackware isn't the only distro that offers custom fonts on intstall, its actually pretty common place now.Originally Posted by postlogic";p="5319

Their AFL results are consistent with the success they were showing LATE in the 2011 season.
Mahoney hit well in the 2010 season and again when he returned from an injury this year. Avery was a surprise. He started off VERY poorly in AZ and then became one of the hottest hitters in that league for a month. I don't think that's a fluke. Remember, Avery has a LOT to learn and we will get a better read on him in the 2013 season.

LAS VEGAS -- A decision about whether O.J. Simpson will get a new trial is still in the works.
That's the word Thursday from a Nevada state court judge approaching the five-month anniversary of hearings she held in May about whether the former football star was so badly represented by his lawyers at trial that he deserves a retrial.
Clark County District Court spokeswoman Mary Ann Price issued a short statement saying Judge Linda Marie Bell hasn't set a date for her ruling.
The statement says the case is complicated, the file is thick, and the judge is addressing 22 claims raised by prosecutors and Simpson lawyers.
Simpson is serving nine to 33 years for armed robbery and kidnapping in a botched attempt to retrieve personal items from sports memorabilia dealers in 2007.

Just one day after Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio took the title Pope Francis I and leadership of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics, his conservative, biblical views on the issues of same-sex marriage and abortion have earned him accolades from conservative, Christian, and pro-family leaders — and dubious comments from the major media and social liberals.
In 2010, as lawmakers in his native Argentina considered a bill to legalize same-sex marriage, Bergoglio, then cardinal of Buenos Aires, issued a strong statement in favor of traditional marriage and family, condemning the so-called marriage of homosexual partners as a scheme "of the father of lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."
In July 2010 the Argentinian congress passed a bill legalizing homosexual marriage, and the legislation was quickly signed into law by the country's president, Cristina Kirchner. But in the weeks leading up to the vote Cardinal Bergoglio spoke boldly for the family and traditional marriage.
According to the July 8, 2010 National Catholic Register, Bergoglio penned a letter to the four Catholic monasteries in Argentina, asking their residents to pray for a positive, Godly outcome on the issue. "In the coming weeks," wrote the future Pope, "the Argentine people will face a situation whose outcome can seriously harm the family.... At stake is the identity and survival of the family: father, mother and children. At stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of God's law engraved in our hearts."
The cardinal declared that the issue was not merely "a political struggle, but it is an attempt to destroy God's plan. It is not just a bill … but a 'move' of the father of lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

This committee examines the ways in which college and university affiliated gardens can serve their primary audiences of faculty, students (both collegiate and pre-collegiate), staff, and the general public through the development of collections, educational programs, interpretation, and research efforts, and by channeling the human, technological, and financial resources of their academic institutions and communities.
The committee presents members' knowledge of the unique challenges of college and university gardens through publication of articles, presentation at meetings, convening of symposia, and information exchange among members, serving as a liaison between the academic and research resources of college and universities and the general APGA membership.
As a critical part of its service to the APGA, the committee seeks to mentor and advocate for gardens of all types associated with institutions of higher learning, providing information on best management practices and prioritization strategies within an institutional setting, providing guidance on creating, maintaining, and protecting garden assets.

This lens flare effect is particularly apparent when shooting with a full frame camera though it is also apparent when shooting with APS-sized sensors.
The ability to focus one half inch in front of the lens provides an extraordinary way to explore macro photography. Get close enough to a flower to nearly touch it while capturing the entire garden surrounding it in the frame.

The Watertown Rams didnt disappoint in their regular-season finale by delivering a historic win sparked by a pair of local players.
Anthony Magovney pitched six strong innings and Tyler Decker collected four hits as the Rams rolled past Utica, 9-1 on Wednesday night in a Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League game at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
It helps out getting a win like this, said Magovney, a graduate of Immaculate Heart Central who attends the University of Buffalo. Hopefully this gives us good momentum going into the playoffs so we can keep this going.
Catcher Collin Theroux belted a three-run home run in the first inning to help spark Watertown (29-19), which clinched the West Division crown earlier in the week and recorded the 29th win of its campaign to set a franchise record.
Its good for the guys, Watertown coach Paul Alteri said about the record. They deserved it, they earned it and Im happy for them. And its good for the organization, too.
Its impressive, Magovney said of the mark. Were a very cohesive unit here and this shows what this group of guys can do.
More importantly to the Rams, they will host the first game of a best-of-three divisional series beginning at 7 p.m. Friday night against the winner of todays West Division wild-card playoff between Elmira and Newark.
Morale is high, said Decker, a South Jefferson graduate who attends Jefferson Community College. Were real confident with this group of guys that we can do some things in the playoffs.
Its awesome to end it (the regular season) on a high note, said Theroux (Nevada), who was selected as the Rams defensive MVP. But we know were not done yet were a confident group.
Magovney allowed only one run on four hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked one to earn the win.
I think thats the best game Anthonys pitched all year, Alteri said. Hes been getting better and better with every outing. He had command of his pitches tonight and had real good control.
Relievers Joshua Amann, Logan Grant and Ryan Smith each pitched an inning of scoreless ball and each didnt allow a hit to preserve Magovneys victory.
I think he had only about 80 pitches in six innings, so I cant ask for a better outing than that, Alteri said.
Magovneys season has been a microcosm of sorts of the Rams campaign as he has pitched better down the stretch.
My season for me was subpar, I believe, said Magovney, who improved to 4-3 in his ninth start of the season. I should have done better, but thats baseball, things dont fall into place every now and then. So Im glad Im starting to throw good going into the playoffs.
As a team, Watertown started its campaign 5-10, but won 24 of its last 33 games to finish the regular season 10 games over the .500 mark.
The Rams, who sport the top home record in the circuit at 16-7, generated winning streaks of seven, four and five, games respectively. They also went 5-2 on the road in a seven-day stretch in mid-July when the county fair was in town.
We really got that one win and once we got that win streak going, we rolled with it and had the confidence to get better, Magovney said.
On Wednesday, Decker doubled, singled three times and drove in two runs to help pace Watertown, and Jacob Boylan doubled, singled and knocked in a pair of runs.
What a night for Deck, Alteri said of Decker. Hes been a role player all season long and tonight was a great night to get him in the lineup and he did some damage while he was in there.
nNOTES: Moroney (Kansas), who finished as the league leader in runs scored (41), was honored as team MVP. Trevor Marino (Virginia Commonwealth) was chosen as offensive MVP and Logan Grant (Creighton) named the teams pitching MVP. ... The previous Watertown team record for wins was 28 by the then Watertown Wizards in 2005 in the New York Collegiate Baseball League, a team coached by current Rams co-owner and general manager Todd Kirkey. ... Elmira will play at Newark at 7:05 tonight in the West Divisions wild card game.

BUFFALO, NY - New York State Police say they've arrested a Queens man accused of bringing millions of dollars worth of heroin into Buffalo.
Eury Rodriguez, 33, was arrested January 31, following an 11-month-long investigation.
Rodriguez is charged under the Drug Kingpin Law for allegedly bringing in more than seven kilograms of heroin with an estimated street value of $3.5 million to Buffalo.
Investigators say Rodriguez was one of 15 suspects named in a 51-count indictment, but he managed to avoid arrest for several months.
New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said, "We will leave no stone unturned to rid our communities of dangerous criminals who bring illegal drugs into our neighborhoods. These deadly narcotics must be taken off our streets. The focus and dedication of State Police members of the SIU and CNET working closely with the New York State Attorney General's Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) demonstrates the commitment to combat illegal drug activity across our state."
Investigators say the drug ring brought in large quantities of heroin from the Bronx to Rochester and Buffalo.
Additional arrests are pending.
"This drug kingpin terrorized communities across New York state, we are safer now that he is in custody thanks to the persistent, collaborative efforts of our investigators," said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. "This arrest sends a message to our state's most wanted criminals that we will find you and we will bring you to justice. Under our Major Drug Trafficker statute, dealers and distributors like Eury Rodriguez could face up to life behind bars. With our partners in law enforcement, we are holding drug kingpins accountable for their crimes."
Rodriguez is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal sale of a controlled substance, conspiracy and operating as a major trafficker. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday in court.

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff recently called on federal and state lawmakers to address deficiencies in educational guidelines that leave students vulnerable to violence in public schools and on college campuses.
As a member of the National Association of Attorneys General Task Force on School and Campus Safety, Shurtleff released a 14-page report outlining specific recommendations addressing threat assessment, protocols for dealing with the mentally ill, information sharing among law enforcement agencies and stakeholders, crisis response planning and communications.
"This report should spark a change in the way policy makers, school administrators and law enforcement officers deal with school and campus safety issues," indicated Shurtleff. "Some of the top experts in the country helped us define the lessons to be learned from the tragedies at Virginia Tech and other schools."
The task force recommendations include:
All schools and colleges should have a system to report disturbing behavior to someone who can assess the risk and offer an appropriate response. Students, parents and faculty should be taught how to make the reports.
Officials should examine privacy laws to remove barriers to effective information sharing.
State and federal agencies should clarify how information, including mental health records, can be shared under existing laws.
States should consider modifying or enhancing state laws to make sure all information relevant to federal firearms laws is shared with the National Instant Criminal Background System, especially for individuals disqualified from purchasing or possessing firearms for mental health reasons. The U.S. Department of Justice should provide clear guidance on the scope of relevant records.
State legislators should mandate all state funded schools and colleges to create, maintain, and update emergency management plans.
Colleges should implement a multi-point, redundant communication systems that uses existing technology to provide information to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Every school and college should have a plan that allows anonymous reporting of perceived threats. The public should be aware of the plan and trained professionals should be available to follow-up on the tips.
States should continue to implement and expand bullying prevention measures, including cyber-bullying.
"This report does not cover everything but it will go a long way to identify some critical weaknesses and implement significant changes to make schools safer," says Shurtleff.
In addition to Utah, the members of the task force include Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Guam, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

What is Service-Learning?
Welcome to ECS' issue site on service-learning. This site is designed to help policymakers and educators understand the teaching and learning pedagogy of service-learning and how it can help improve student achievement and performance, contribute to education reform efforts, meet state standards and assessments, and build vibrant, healthy communities. In service-learning, students relate their service experience directly to their school curriculum, while at the same time making a valued contribution to their schools, neighborhoods and communities.
The National Center for Learning and Civic Engagement (NCLCE) is the service-learning initiative supported by ECS. Specifically, ECS provides:

do you have an audio cabl;e going from the back of your cd drive to your sound card?
I have just built a shuttle and installed Mandrake 10 on it .
If I olay a game on it I get Sound but if I put a CD in - no sound.
On inserting a Cd it automatically starts to play it but no sound, have I missed something or not configured somethihg, any help appreciated.
do you have an audio cabl;e going from the back of your cd drive to your sound card?
No is that the cause?.
Could it be that simple?.
what desktop are you using? KDE? Gnome?
Could be the audio settings, maybe cd muted or something like that?
Its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you havent done :P
You should have a cable running from the back of the CD ROM drive to your soundcard as well as the IDE cable and power cable. If the sound cable isn't there, the CD ROM may not play music files.Originally Posted by alan2273
You can operate without that cable, though that is the easy way. Check your alsamixer settings. make sure that 'cd' and 'analog mix' are both maxed.
Have checked all the sound settings, these are OK so off with the cover and in with the audio cable

2014 Mechanisms of Epilepsy and Neuronal Synchronization Gordon Research Conference, Sunday, August 17, 2014 - Friday, August 22, 2014
Location: Mount Snow Resort, West Dover, VT
Description:
The main goal of the study of epilepsy is to identify the causes and complex mechanisms that underlie the abnormal, synchronous, electrical discharges that occur in hyperexcitable neuronal networks during seizures. How these basic science findings can someday be translated into new therapies for the nearly 3 million Americans suffering with epilepsy is another long-term goal. A unique, intellectually challenging aspect of epilepsy research arises from the fact that it encompasses virtually all major levels of biological organization, from circuits and behavior to stem cells and neurodevelopment. Thus a major purpose of this Gordon Research Conference is to bring together geneticists, molecular biologists, developmental neuroscientists, neuroanatomists, electrophysiologists, clinician-scientists and computational neuroscientists working on basic mechanisms related either directly or indirectly to seizure generation to synthesize current advances and to set the stage for future discoveries.

RDCRN 3rd Conference on Clinical Research for Rare Diseases, Tuesday, October 02, 2012
Location: Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, Rockville, MD
Description: Clinical research in rare diseases presents a number of challenges and unique issues that are not usually considered in the training of clinical investigators through existing training programs. Goals of the conference include: direct instruction of trainees and new investigators in rare disease research methodology; development of a reusable curriculum/syllabus on rare disease research methodology; and stimulation of ideas regarding the unique issues facing investigators engaged in the study of rare diseases.

PAWTUCKET — The news about a rise in heroin overdoses in Rhode Island, coupled with the national coverage of the apparent heroin-related death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, has thrust the centuries-old opioid in the spotlight. Yet, while it's acknowledged by police and medical professionals that a "bad batch" of heroin is making the rounds — one that is laced with the powerful synthetic drug fentanyl — the problem of a seeming resurgence of the hippie-era drug is complex and delves into areas of accessibility and affordability.
Just this week, the Rhode Island Department of Health reported that that there were 27 overdose deaths in the state in January, and two reported so far in February. In 15 of the 23 cases, the heroin contained fentanyl, which made it a stronger blend. People are using their accustomed amount and suffering accidental overdoses.
Full story appears on page A1 of Monday's Times and Monday's Call.

Starr King School Internships – M.Div. & MASC
M.Div. Internships
Each year SKSM students serve Unitarian Universalist congregations and community organizations throughout North America to learn firsthand the practical arts of ministry. The school's internship program was started in the 1950s by then-president Josiah Bartlett, who believed in the school's founding principle of attention to the practical realities of ministry and church life.
Since 1996, more than 100 SKSM students have participated in the school's parish internship program, a nine-month commitment to Unitarian Universalist teaching congregations. These students frequently contribute their own special talents. They've created and taught classes in poetry, drama, meditation, Buddhist studies and Unitarian Universalist history. They've become involved with local Unitarian Universalist ministers' chapters – their first taste of collegial relationships.
Interns bring energy and enthusiasm to host teaching congregations, sharing a fresh vision of Unitarian Universalism's future.
MASC Internships
In the Master of Arts in Social Change (MASC) degree program, students are asked to complete a community internship of their choosing and to prepare a final project that embodies their focus in justice and community making. Every year the SKSM community learns from its students, from the communities they work with and from their community mentors. MASC students strive to engage in community work developing deep relationships of accountability and mutuality, listening to and learning from grassroots leaders, mentors and the people they serve.
For information about clinical pastoral education (CPE), visit: acpe.edu/StudentsFAQ.html (ACPE).
The student intern minister placement program is supervised by Rev. Kurt Kuhwald, member of the core faculty at Starr King. If your congregation or organization has an internship opportunity, or if you are a student seeking an internship position, please contact Rev. Kuhwald at firstname.lastname@example.com. Students enrolled in the M.A.S.C. program seeking an internship should contact Dr. Gabriella Lettini at email@example.com.

TaliNew York, NYHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairExcellent Tool, Cute Litte PackageI received my Solia Mini Ceramic Curling Iron within days of ordering it. This tool lives up to the brand I have known in the past year. It heats up quickly and makes beautiful curls. The clamp doesn't pull your hair as you glide it towards your ends, which is something that will most likely happen with a drug store brand. And the size is perfect for medium length hair for every day use. I bought it at $30 and it is worth getting it without spending the extra $50 to get it free. You will not regret this purchase.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Mireille L.HairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairQuick Curls To GoI couldn't wait to try the Solia Mini Curling Iron, since I've always wanted a mini ceramic iron for travel. I'm a VIP Reviewer, but I'm a customer too, and this is perfectly priced for a purse-sized iron. It heats up in under a minute and creates beautiful medium curls in just a second or two; there's no need to hold each strand in place and count to set each curl. Just glide the Solia through a section of your hair -- about as much as you'd place in a standard-sized curling iron -- roll the cur, hold just a second, then release the curl.
Speaking of which, holding this iron demonstrates one of its best features. The main grip is very comfortable, actually rather soft, reminding me of a well-made kitchen utensil (talk about a good grip!), while the tip of this curling iron is designed for precise, fingertip holding with a cool-touch material. The tip of the curling iron barrel also has a small nub which acts as half of the iron's built-in stand. The other half of the iron rest is opposite your thumb where it rests on the barrel-release button, just an inch or so above your fingers at the edge of the grip.Couple this clever design with a swiveling electrical cord and you'll find it easy to set the Solia mini iron down on any counter, high or low.
I found just two minor drawbacks to this iron, barely enough to remove a quarter-star if I could (though the iron's value is terrific for the price). I do see a travel iron here, so while it fits perfectly into a small gym bag, any purse larger than a clutch, or a standard toiletries case, it doesn't include a case of its own. Also, though this iron heats up very quickly, the trade-off for one of the fastest curling irons I've ever used is that it takes five to ten minutes to cool back down. Neither of these things are real problems -- the lack of a traveling case keeps the price low for you, and a slow cool-down time is typical with powerful curling irons. These are just details you should know before making a decision.
The Solia Mini Ceramic Curling Iron packs a LOT of power into such a small hair styling tool, and several excellent features, too. I find myself curling my hair more often because it's so lightweight and easy to use. If you're looking for a travel curling iron, or want to stop wedging your full-sized iron into your gym bag, Solia is your answer.32 out of 33 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

CristyNew YorkPerfect Size For Travel And As Powerful As Full SizeI wasn't expecting much from this mini-iron but needed a more compact curling iron with dual voltage for travel purposes. I was pleasantly surprised. I have pretty thick hair and need a high heat and this one certainly delivered. I can curl my hair in about the same time as a full size iron. In fact, I may even use this when not travelling. It has a great feel to it and the quality is excellent. Love it.56 out of 62 shoppers thought this review was helpful.
