Softball Claims MVC Regular Season Title and Top Seed with Victory
The regular-season title is the first for Creighton (29-17, 15-7 MVC) since the 2009 season. The Bluejays will be the top seed next week when they host the 2013 MVC Softball Championship. Creighton beat out second-place Drake and third-place Illinois State for the top spot. The Bulldogs and Redbirds were rained out this weekend and did not compete.
Wichita State (19-32, 10-15 MVC) played its way into the tournament as the No. 8 seed with a 2-1 victory over CU in the series finale on Sunday.
Baker's walk-off homer marked her second of the season. Earlier this year she belted a walk-off grand slam against Youngstown State on March 12. Fittingly, Baker's home run delivered two runs batted that catapulted her past Illinois State senior Elizabeth Kay for the MVC career RBI record. Baker now boasts a total of 167 RBI, one ahead of Kay at 166 heading into the conference tourney.
Seven Bluejays connected on a ball in the twin bill including four players with multiple hits. Junior Ellen Homan led Creighton with three hits and a .429 batting average on the day. Junior Blair Lowe, sophomore Liz Dike and freshman Kelsey Allender each added two hits.
In the circle junior Becca Changstrom guided Creighton to a complete-game victory in the opener. She allowed just one run on three hits while posting six strikeouts on the day.
Just like game one of the series on Saturday, neither team scored through the first five innings as the pitchers and defense kept hitters off the base paths. Unlike game one of the series, this time Wichita State struck first.
WSU drew a walk to open its half of the sixth inning. A sacrifice bunt accounted for the first out to move the runner to second. A two-out RBI single to center field drove in the run to give the Shockers a 1-0 lead.
Creighton singled twice in the bottom of the sixth but could not score.
The Shockers led off the seventh frame with a double but the runner was later thrown out at home before the Jays got out of the inning.
Dike extended her career-high hitting streak to 11 consecutive games with her second home run in two days against the Shockers. The shortstop sent one out just over the right field wall to tie the game at 1-1 with one out on the board. Four of Dike's 11 career homers have come against the Shockers, hitting one in back-to-back games each of her first two seasons.
With one down, Homan singled to left field. That forced a pitching change by the Shockers.
Baker then greeted the new Wichita State hurler with her 17th home run of the season on a towering fly ball that sailed well over the center field wall. The walk-off home run completed the Jays' come-from-behind victory and gave Creighton the 2013 regular-season crown.
Changstrom improved to 22-8 with the win.
Junior Alexis Cantu started game two in the circle for the Jays.
Wichita State jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first and would hang on for the victory. The Shockers opened with a walk and then followed with a fielder's choice. With one out and a runner on second WSU connected on a two-run homer to left center to put the visitors up by two.
Creighton used three pitchers as senior Sammy Snygg and junior Brittany Telecky each came on in relief later in the contest. The Jays staff blanked WSU the rest of the way.
The Bluejays cut the lead in half in the bottom of the sixth inning at 2-1. A two-out home run by freshman Blake Ringle to right center moved the Jays closer but the Shockers held on for the one-run win.
Cantu dropped to 6-8 with the loss.
Creighton hosts the 2013 MVC Softball Championship beginning Thursday, May 9 at 11 a.m. at the CU Sports Complex. The Bluejays earned a bye into the semifinals and will play their first opponent at noon on Friday, May 10.
The first six games can be viewed on the Missouri Valley Conference's video streaming platform, Valley Live with the Championship game televised on MVC TV.

Creighton Drops Drake 4-2 in Extra Innings
DES MOINES, Iowa – The Creighton softball team defeated former conference foe Drake 4-2 in eight innings in a single game at the Bulldogs' Buel Field on Wednesday.
Creighton (19-10) won its tenth straight contest heading into their BIG EAST home-opening series against Georgetown this weekend. Senior Becca Changstrom struck out eight and held Drake to just four hits in the contest to improve to 11-5 after the complete-game win.
After the Bluejays jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, Drake (6-20) battled back with two in the bottom of the fourth to knot the game at 2-2 and eventually send it into extra innings.
CU posted seven hits from seven different batters to secure the win. Senior Ellen Homan continued her hot bat at the plate with two RBI in the game. Sophomore Kelsey Allender secured the game-winning run in the top of the eighth with an RBI single to right field.
Changstrom earned the start for the Jays in the circle.
Creighton started the scoring in the top of the second after a scoreless frame. Changstrom bolstered her effort from the plate with an one-out RBI double to left center to score freshman Jen Daro to give the Jays a 1-0 advantage. Sophomore Katie Pascuzzi came into the game to run and later scored on a two-out RBI single from Homan to give CU a 2-0 lead. Drake was able to get out of the inning with the bases loaded.
The Bulldogs tied the game in the bottom of the fourth. A single, walk and illegal pitch put two Drake runners in scoring position with just one out. A wild pitch scored the first Drake run followed by a passed ball for the second score to tie the game at 2-2.
Neither team mustered much offense over the next three innings to send the contest into extra innings.
Creighton then posted two runs in the top of the eighth. Daro was hit by a pitch with one out and later stole second. Freshman Kassidy Kingsley came on to run at second just before Changstrom drew a walk. Allender's RBI single to right score Kingsley from second for the game winner. Changstrom later scored on an RBI single off the bat of Homan to secure the 4-2 final.
The Bluejays host their first BIG EAST series this weekend when they battle Georgetown beginning with a doubleheader slated for noon at the CU Sports Complex. The Jays and Hoyas both enter the series undefeated in conference play after they won their league-opening series last weekend.

Capitals @ Rangers
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. Tuesday
Rangers record: 7-6-1
Capitals record: 10-4-0
The Rangers will face a slightly less-hot team on Tuesday
night when they host the Washington Capitals, who have won only four in a row
in comparison to St. Louis's
streak of six straight wins entering the Rangers' last match.
But this game will be quite different from yesterday's tilt
against St. Louis. The Blues played a very tight defensive game
on Sunday night whereas the high-flying Capitals are unmatched in terms of
offensive firepower. Washington is currently ranked second in
goals per game, eighth in goals against, 10th on the power play, and
seventh on the penalty kill. In other
words, this isn't going to be an easy one. And of course, playing Washington
means playing against Ranger-killer Alex Ovechkin (although he does dominate
against pretty much everyone). AO is off
to a typical start for him with eight goals and 10 assists in 14 games, but
he's not even the Capitals' leading scorer. That honor currently belongs to Alexander Semin, the lesser-known
sidekick to Ovechkin that scores at a very similar pace. The duo is also on a line with one of the
premier playmakers in the National Hockey League in Nicklas Backstrom. If that weren't enough, the Capitals have
very solid secondary scoring in Eric Fehr, Brooks Laich, Tomas Fleischmann and
Mike Knuble. They also boast talented
young offensive defensemen in Mike Green and John Carlson. But perhaps the most pleasant surprise for
the Capitals has been the play of rookie goalie Michal Neuvirth who has filled
in admirably for the injured Semyon Varlamov. Rangers fans will remember Varlamov from their first round playoff
series two years ago when Varlamov was thrust into NHL action and was brilliant
in eliminating the Rangers. But the
Capitals were also simultaneously grooming Neuvirth, 22, and he's been very
strong thus far this season with an 8-3-0 record, 2.41 GAA, and .914 Sv%.
The Rangers are close to getting Marian Gaborik back but
will have to wait at least one more game before their offense is rescued. Coach John Tortorella has emphasized that
other players on the team needs to generate offense outside of the top
line. Recently its been Brandon
Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan and Artem Anisimov generating offense or the Rangers
don't score. Against a team like Washington, that won't
be enough. Evgeny Grachev has been
returned to Hartford
meaning Todd White will most likely play. Though Grachev didn't look completely out of place during his stint on
Broadway, White will be more useful to the Rangers right now around the net, in
the faceoff dot, and on the power play.
For the Rangers to have any hope of winning tomorrow night,
they must contain Washington's
top line. It's difficult to stop the
Capitals' attack completely, but the key is to keep the first line relatively
at bay or else you have no chance. Obviously,
taking too many penalties is always a problem, but never more so than against a
team with as many skill players as Washington. The Rangers will have a very difficult time
outscoring the Capitals, so their best hope is to play to their recent
strengths of employing a strong fore-check, blocking shots and shooting lanes,
and playing very smart team hockey. The
Rangers have had reasonable success against Washington in recent years because Henrik
Lundqvist is always up for these types of games, but they'll have to help him
out especially in the wake of so many key injuries. The power play has been going reasonably well
lately and is five for its last 21, so if Capitals take some penalties (and they
do frequent the box) the Rangers could keep it close. But if they don't bring their A-game, another
opponent will extend its winning streak against the Blueshirts.

It's doubtful whether any owner of a new Microsoft Surface Tablet would perform the following test on purpose, but a poster in the Windows Phone Central forums has unwittingly discovered what happens when you run over the device with a car.
You know how sometimes, before getting in your car, you'll forget a cup of coffee on the roof of the car, only to have it whip off into the road a block or two away? Well, this unfortunate man did more or less the same thing, but with a his tablet.
Noticing some trash cans that needed to be taken in outside his house, he set the Surface Tablet on the car roof and, forgetting all about it, drove off to work. Naturally, as soon as he realized what he'd doe, he turned right around and drove back the direction he came from, to find his Surface Tablet lying in the middle of the road:
"[I] watched the last group of traffic drove by. Each car passed by with the tires on each side of the Surface until the very last car. The tire of the car ran completely over the Surface and next thing I saw was my brand new $700 tablet and touch cover flying through the air in separate directions!"
Long story short, the poor guy was delighted when he opened up the tablet and found that, not only was the screen completely intact but that, hitting the power button, everything worked as it should.
"The Surface feels completely sturdy, exactly like how I got it. Everything works in it, even the touch cover (which got a slight tear in it) works completely fine! Microsoft has made such an incredible product, I am completely speechless how this could happen!," he wrote.
The tablet has a few scratches dents and dings, but otherwise survived no worse for wear. Needless to say, the poster is pretty happy about his choice of tablets, writing: "This product is insane! I would love to see what an iPad looks like after getting run over by a car going 60 mph!"

The anticipated sale of empty large capacity ammunition feeding devices was thwarted by a Jefferson County sheriffs deputy the evening of Jan. 6 when he stopped to check a parked vehicle, according to the sheriffs office.
After Deputy John M. Gleason found the devices, illegal since 1994, he arrested a former Fort Drum soldier, who admitted to the deputy he had advertised them on Craigslist for sale and expected to meet with a potential buyer, said sheriffs Detective David J. Pustizzi Jr.
The arrest that evening of Nathan H. Haddad, 32, of 25240 Waddingham Road, LeRay, on felony weapon counts has sparked a bloggers storm of protest. A defense fund initiated by his brother, Michael Haddad, Jamestown, has grown to nearly $35,000. Writers on the Internet criticized the deputy for arresting a former military member on accusations of having empty loading devices and are challenging the district attorneys office to drop the charge.
Sheriff John P. Burns, who previously declined to comment about the case, said Monday there is more to it than his critics understand, and referred questions to Detective Pustizzi.
The arrest did not result from any undercover investigation, Mr. Pustizzi said. Deputy Gleason just happened to come across a vehicle with hazard lights flashing off Steinhilber Road in the town of LeRay, he said. The deputy stopped to determine if the motorist needed assistance and then became suspicious about some responses the car owner, Mr. Haddad, gave him, the detective said.
Detective Gleason requested and was granted permission to conduct a search, and he discovered five 30-round AR-15 magazines for ammunition.
As a result of his admission about advertising the devices for sale on Craigslist. Mr. Haddad was waiting for a prospective buyer to arrive, Mr. Pustizzi said. No one showed.
State law specifies possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, loaded or not, is a felony.
Mr. Pustizzi said the Sheriffs Department recognizes military personnel are issued such devices, and if an investigation had revealed an active-duty soldier had been found in authorized possession of the devices, no arrest would have been made.
The detective said he can only speculate how Mr. Haddad obtained the devices. Mr. Haddad was in the Army more than a decade and was discharged in October 2010 after serving four deployments, including service in Iraq. His last assignment was in South Korea, where he suffered a shoulder injury during special forces training.

Experience Transformational Change
Our LIOS MA in Psychology Counseling program is personally transformative and professionally rigorous. It is distinguished by its focus on developing self awareness, creatively engaging in relationships with clients, and blending systems counseling theories with solid skills.
Through experiential engagement during the program's face-to-face learning, students acquire a deep sense of self, form lifelong community, and develop the skills to work together in teams in both educational and practical settings.
- As expressed by LIOS MA Psychology alumna Connie Curlett [1], her LIOS experience "makes it easier for me to relax into my role as a therapist. I am able to call out what is in the room, especially with couples; I am a real straight shooter. Because of my LIOS experience, I am not afraid to be direct."
- In the words of LIOS MA Psychology alumna Laura Edelstein [2], "I gained a learning community, one that really nourishes me. The cohort added to my experience because I felt safe to learn. I was able to be vulnerable and push myself."
The faculty-to-student ratio is kept deliberately low: 1:15 in the first year; 1:8 in the second.

"pkg_add <package_name>" is all that's needed. I think they use .tar.gz or .tgz files.
When I last tried FreeBSD, I liked it but for the fact I didn't install X and I couldn't figure out how to either. I was wondering if one of you knew how to do it. Example: installpkg *.tgz or rpm -ivh *.rpm. For FreeBSD, what are the packages called or their extensions? Thi s is just out of curiosity. Please answer in your leisure.
"pkg_add <package_name>" is all that's needed. I think they use .tar.gz or .tgz files.
You can install XF86 from the CD-Rom, just run `/stand/sysinstall' and swim through the menus. Alternatively you can run `pkg_add -r XFree86'.
FreeBSD is the one of the easiest operating system to use, once you get the hang of it. Just remember that the handbook is your best friend.
Thanks! I was wondering...
*goes off to try installing FreeBSD*
If you want X when installing, select X+developer for the type of installation. That will get you up a running.
Welcome to the BSD world! ;D
Alright! Thanks!
Thanks for the Welcome!. ;D
[edit] Successfully Installed FreeBSD [/edit]
Unfortunately, when I enter xinit or startx there is no command.
but there is an empty /etc/X11 and X11R6 but I have no Idea how to start the X-server and um...updatedb doesn't work for some reason. Why?
Looks like you didn't install X. :-\
You can check by doing:
pkg_info | grep XFree86
Also, you might want to make your own ~/.xinitrc. No biggie.

Sorry for the late reply but I chose the FUll Standard Install and it said installing XFree86 a couple of times and I still didn't get it working. I tried adding:
pkg_add XFree86-4.3.0.tbz
but it didn't work so I got really tired and replaced it with good old Slackware 9.1
I just installed Freebsd 5.3 recently and having a hard time getting anything to work smoothly.
I installed the basic from the internet instead of cd, so maybe I will do a reinstall and use the cd for basic stuff.
I had to install xorg and it seems to be working, well I guess it is, but I had hard time getting gnome2 installed, errors. So I installed Xfce4 which seems to be working but couldn't get mozilla to work.
Any ideas/suggestions on this?
I reinstalled Freebsd 5.3 but may have a bad ISO. I tried installing everything but after awhile it went into a loop trying to install Perl and some dependencies.
So then I installed from a FTP site using the Everything choice. I'm still having a few problems but is posting this using Freebsd.
I have Xfce4 & Mozilla installed but when I click the mozilla icon, it takes about 5 or so minutes to come up.
Any ideas?

Submission London 2012: The Data Analytics Olympics->
jfruh writes: "While athletes compete in London this coming July, behind the scenes numerous computers and programmers will be combing through the reams of data the Olympics generate — often in ways that participants and spectators might find unsettling. Companies and organizers will be analyzing where people spend money to determine whether London's investment in the games was worth it; Transport for London will be tracking anonymized cell phone data to see how spectators are moving around the city; and authorities will be scrutinizing CCTV images and Facebook posts to ferret out potential terrorist threats."

During the past few weeks many early risers have noticed an intensely bright, star-like object low in the east at dawn. That is the planet Venus.
Some may have also noticed a not quite as bright point of light just above Venus. That is the planet Jupiter.
This coming Sunday morning, July 15, the planetary duo will be joined by a delicately thin crescent Moon making for a truly beautiful cosmic triangle of light.
Those wanting to see the show are cautioned that they will need to be watching Sunday morning because by the next morning the Moon will have moved on leaving Venus and Jupiter to shine alone against the backdrop of stars.

NYI TAKE POSITIVE STEP WITH PRICE FIXNow must strike a deal to stay in Nassau County
SNY has set up a Point Blank Facebook page. Sign up here.
For Michael Picker, Charles Wang's top lieutenant going back to the days of Computer Associates, the development of the Lighthouse Project was a primary part of his life's work. Since the project was hacked, slashed and hit in the head (from behind) by the Town of Hempstead last year, Picker moved back into the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum offices this season and returned his focus to the Islanders.
For his first, major, public move back in the Islanders' front office, the Senior Vice President should be applauded. In leading the efforts to erase the team's errors over the last few years in ticket pricing and customer relations towards season ticketholders, Picker has done well by the Islanders and their fans.
To be sure, not every fan is ecstatic about the recent announcement of revamped season ticket prices. It appears the fans least delighted are in sections of the Coliseum – like the bottom half of the center 300s and lower rows of the endzone 300s – that are already sold close to capacity. Some fans believe the price cuts are not deep enough, especially after a season in which the Islanders gave away the store like Crazy Eddie. The Islanders also might want to lose the habit of taking bows for having a good record in the second half of another playoff-less season. The Devils went 20-2-2 over two months without Zach Parise, and you won't see Lou Lamoriello approving any back-patting in a year they never really sniffed the playoff race. The Islanders haven't for four years. Keep that bar higher.
But there was plenty of good news, enough to likely get the majority to renew and entice prospective purchasers. Some seats, $90 last year for season subscribers, were lowered to $72. Other lower-bowl tickets dropped approximately $6 per game. The cheapest seat in the house is now even cheaper ($15) and it has been a Coliseum tradition since the days of Chico Resch to move down a few rows if seats are unoccupied. The team is offering better parking prices and options. A first-class gift for subscribers is supposedly in the works.
As always, the advice to the displeased die-hards who still want season tickets is to negotiate. If this is a big part of your life, negotiate hard. You have just about all of the leverage.
When all is said and done – with parking, without it…frankly, I've heard from longtime subscribers who don't even fully comprehend what they're getting and not getting – there is this. Islanders season ticketholders are paying fewer bucks for their tickets than most of their fellow fans around the league. The on-ice performance needs to catch up, but the cost of Islanders season tickets is cheaper than just about everywhere else. If you sit in Sec. 327 Row E, your seats that were $38 are now $23. The fifth row of the 300s at the NVMC is, cripes, like the 20th row in all the modern-era buildings.
The management of Islanders ticket prices has always been a juggling act. (As you can tell by the team's latest rainbow-colored seating chart – with more price points than Baskin-Robbins has flavors – the Islanders are still guilty of over-thinking the entire concept). But in this era of secondary ticket markets, and with fewer and fewer reasons to be a season ticketholder for any team other than loving the community shared with fans around you, it is always a tough sell.
The Islanders over-reached badly before the start of this season, now matter how under-reported their price hike was. It was a mistake, even if the team never suffered injuries and started the season on an inspired, prolonged roll. However, fans are smart. The Islanders began offering deep discounts with the home opener. Then the team tanked in the first thirty games of the season. The Islanders, for fear of regular crowds under 5,000 – blinked early and often. The end result was season ticketholders paying big prices sitting next to fans who bought tickets at the box office the day before the game for $20.
Short of an offseason of blockbuster additions while keeping the very impressive young core of the roster, there isn't much the team could do to make everyone happy in the present tense. But one of the hardest things, even for the most experienced, skilled and confident of executives, is to go to the boss and say, "We must fix this. Until the rebuild completely takes off, we need to get fans in the stands and give our players and coaches the kind of fan support they deserve." Picker, Paul Lancey and their Uniondale associates did.
With beefed up depth and prospect charts, Garth Snow and the Islanders are closer to getting it right on the ice. The ticket news may not have resulted in universal rejoicing, but it does illustrate a willingness and ability to get it right for their customers. The Lighthouse Project, in its grandiose, expensive glory, will not be constructed as designed, but Picker can get to work on his next assignment. With rises in the standings and attendance, you'd like to think that in the next 2-3 years the Islanders, Nassau and Hempstead will agree on a deal for a new arena (with adjacent revenue generators) to keep the hockey team where it belongs.
Happy with the new pricing? Not? Good enough? Coming back or not coming back anyway? Becoming a new subscriber? Continue to educate me. Share your reactions and discuss this column in Comments.

The California Airport Noise Standards (Title 21, Subchapter 6 of the California Code of Regulations) requires that all public use airports have no incompatible land uses located within their 65 dB CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) noise contour. (A noise contour is a continuous line on a map that represents equal levels of noise exposure). Incompatible land uses are defined as residences, schools, hospitals/convalescent homes, and houses of worship. If an airport has any incompatible land uses within its 65 dB CNEL contour, it is required to mitigate those incompatible land uses through sound insulation or land acquisition/recycling.
LAWA Soundproofing Office administered the sound insulation program for residences located in the City of Los Angeles eligible for sound insulation. LAWA Environmental Services Division administers the Sound Insulation Grant Program for non-City of Los Angeles jurisdictions around LAX.
LAWA Residential Acquisition Program administers the voluntary acquisition of residences within the noise-impacted Manchester Square and Airport-Belford areas near LAX.
LAWA ESD provides grants to the to the following non-City of Los Angeles jurisdictions around the airport for noise mitigation of eligible residences within their boundaries:
The ESD Sound Insulation Grant Program provides grant funding to the above mentioned jurisdictions to match grants issued to them by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Part 150 AIP Grant Program. LAWA is required to provide 20% of the funding with the FAA providing 80%. However, over the years these programs have been in existence, LAWA typically provided more than the required 20% match. Under the provisions of the LAX Master Plan Stipulated Settlement Agreement, LAWA agreed to provide up to $22.5 million per year to be split between the three jurisdictions through Calendar Year 2015, up to a maximum total of $180 million.
Sound insulation is provided at no cost to the homeowner for eligible residences.
LAWA uses a fixed noise contour at LAX to determine eligibility for sound insulation. As directed by the FAA, the current LAX Eligibility Contour is the 2015 Alternative D 65 dB CNEL noise contour of the 2005 LAX Master Plan Final EIR/EIS (Alt D Contour). The Alt D Contour is a "planning contour" that used the five-year projected forecast of aircraft operations at LAX as determined in the LAX Master Plan EIR/EIS. This contour was produced in accordance with the requirements of Part 150 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, (Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)). Noise measured by the LAX noise monitoring system, or by the use of short term noise monitoring using portable monitors, cannot be used to determine the size or shape of the eligibility contour, or to revise the current LAX Eligibility Contour.
Formerly, LAX used the 4th Quarter of 1992 Quarterly Report 65 dB CNEL contour (4Q92 Contour) as the fixed contour to determine eligibility. The 4Q92 Contour, while larger than the Alt D Contour, was too old, was not a planning contour, and did not comply with FAA regulations. At the direction of the FAA, the 4Q92 Contour is being phased out and will no longer be used after December 31, 2015. The FAA is allowing LAWA to use its own revenue to sound insulate properties within both the 4Q92 and the 60 dB contour of the Alt D Contour until December 31, 2015. The use of this contour is limited to residences already "in the pipeline" for sound insulation. Beginning January 1, 2016 only the Alt D Contour can be used to determine eligibility for sound insulation.
To view a map comparing the Alt D and 4Q92 contours, please click here.
It is possible a new soundproofing eligibility contour could be established in the future as a result of potential upcoming LAX airfield construction projects. Additional soundproofing could take place in the future if a newer updated 65 dB CNEL noise contour map is established, either by a Part 150 Noise Exposure Map update, or by a Federal Environmental Assessment performed pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of an LAX airfield construction project .
Beginning in 1997, LAWA implemented the Airport Residential Soundproofing Program (RSP) for aircraft noise impacted areas in the City of Los Angeles. Funding for this program was made available by LAWA. LAWA installed acoustic modifications to lessen the effects of aircraft noise in impacted homes adjacent to LAX.
The program covered residential buildings in areas of the City of Los Angeles that are in the 65 dB CNEL noise contour shown on the 4Q92 Contour map, which is now obsolete.
The LA City RSP began in 1997 with implementation of the first soundproofing project in Playa del Rey and Westchester. At that time, LAWA opened a community office in Westchester, which remained open to the public until September 2009. Two demonstration homes, one in each of the areas included in the City's RSP in Westchester and South Los Angeles, were used to showcase the noise mitigation products available to homeowners. After an extensive outreach effort to contact all eligible homeowners, the final deadline for participation in the program was issued for June 1, 2010. During the duration of the program, LAWA soundproofed over 7,300 residential dwelling units in the City of Los Angeles near LAX.
At this time, the LA City RSP is complete and soundproofing is not offered to new participants. LAWA understands there are some homeowners in the City who feel that their homes are impacted by aircraft noise but missed the deadline to participate in the program. Furthermore, LAX is in the process of undertaking major projects that may result in noise contour changes, which may lead to additional soundproofing in the future once a new 65 dB CNEL noise contour map is established for noise mitigation. At such time as a new noise mitigation area is selecte those properties within the selected contour that missed the deadline will also be included in any new program.
You may still contact the LAX Soundproofing Office at (424) 646-7444 with any questions.
LAX AIRCRAFT NOISE MITIGATION PROGRAMS - OTHER JURISDICTIONSLos Angeles County Residential Sound Insulation Program The Los Angeles County's Residential Sound Insulation Program covers eligible properties in unincorporated county areas affected by aircraft noise. To be eligible for sound insulation the property must be located within the eligibility contour in Lennox, Del Aire and Athens.

|Suspect in Arson, Attempted Murder Captured
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 31 May 2013 07:23
A Caldwell man was captured overnight in Longview after a 24-hour search following an incident in which gasoline was poured on the car of a woman and ignited. Luann McFalls came to the Burns Road home of Cloyd "Wayne" Burns to confront him over a break-in at her home, and he responded by
smashing in the windshield with a cinder block, then pouring gas on the vehicle. McFalls told Dave Faherty she scrambled from the car as Burns lit the fire. The vehicle was completely destroyed in the fire, and Burns fled the scene. Caldwell authorities say Cloyd "Wayne" Burns is charged with Attempted Murder, Burning of Personal Property, Breaking Entering, Larceny, and Possession of Stolen Goods. The Sheriff's Office release says that he was considered to be armed and Dangerous, but apparently was arrested safely.

If forced put them in order of whom he would want the most, his list is: Britton, Arrieta, Tillman and Matusz. Frankly, he said he'd be tempted to put Arrieta atop the list, simply based on potential talent, but isn't sure he could do it.
Do you agree with the list?

Pharmacologic boosting of protease inhibitors with ritonavir has become standard practice in antiretroviral therapy. Patients are instructed to take ritonavir at the same time as its accompanying protease inhibitor. However, ritonavir is unpopular with many patients because of its large size and because of the recommended need for refrigeration. This study will test the hypothesis that adherence to ritonavir is inferior to adherence to its accompanying protease inhibitor in patients receiving such therapy.

Looking for something strong for a heavy camera. The weak points on most of these lanyards seems to be how the coil part is attached to the clip part. I cant tell from the photo how the coil part is connected to the snap part on this particular lanyard.
Bob thank you for your reply, but that did not answer my question. The other one I bought from you is this one. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-98/030769/Innovative-Stainless-Steel-Carabiner-Coil-Divers-Lanyard.html Are they both crimped exactly the same? Thank you. gayle
Hello, I need a lanyard that is strong enough to use with my hook while diving in the strong currents of Komodo, Indonesia. What material is this cord made of? Obviously it is very important that it doesnt break. I have used rope in the past but then I have to roll it up while diving, not so much fun and sometimes dangerous. If you dont think its strong enough, what lanyard would you recommend? Thanks, Julie
This item is not designed as a reef hook. Look at http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-117/031589/Trident-Reef-Hook.html

Every new year brings with it a crop of new resolutions, and we here at Who What Wear have committed to one stylish promise for 2012: to fearlessly embrace the trends we've always longed to try, no matter how intimidating they may seem! Head-to-toe prints, the focus of today's Runway 2 Real Way, is one of those trends. While fall's subtle prints and somber shades are certainly easy for everyday wear, spring calls for a tad more excitement in the form of these busy patterns. Indeed, why play it safe when you have a chic Parisienne-inspired blouse and pants set from Louis Vuitton or a sleek spotted version from Akris? Though the initial idea of a matching top and bottom set seemed fit for only the stylishly spunky, we confess that we are now head over toes (er, heels!) in love with this bold and daring look.
Though loads of labels showed fabulous head-to-toe print looks for Resort 12, we particularly applaud the efforts of Louis Vuitton, Suno, Akris, and Marc Jacobs. Louis Vuitton and Suno are notable for showcasing intricately detailed prints on modern silhouettes, thus making this trend instantly wearable. Vuitton's design director Julie de Libran swathed the 2 Pockets LS Blouse ($1684, 866.VUITTON) and matching Flare Pocket Pants ($2084, 866.VUITTON) in Marine Fonce, a charming Eiffel Tower motif in navy and white. While the relaxed shape of the silk button-down tucked into high-waisted slacks offers a supremely comfortable ensemble, the pairing also oozes easy elegance. Suno's Max Osterweis and Erin Beatt opted for a very different, albeit no less chic, silhouette as a backdrop for their Little People Print Jean Jacket ($520) and Little People Print Pipe Pants ($495). Dotted in a pattern of, well, little people, the jacket and cropped pant combo is styled with black socks and sneakers for a quirky tomboy look.
Adventuresome souls should refer to Akris' feisty take on this matchy-matchy trend. Worn separately, creative director Albert Kriemler's Abstract Leopard Print Short Motorcycle Jacket ($3990, available at Neiman Marcus) and Abstract Leopard Print Pants ($1250, 212.717.1170) would certainly stand out on their own, but worn together, the pieces make for one dynamic ensemble. However, if your personal tastes veer towards the unexpected, Marc Jacobs' linen Olive L/S Classic Shirt With Epaulette And Pocket Detail ($650, 212.343.1490) and Olive Patch Pocket Pants With Topstich Detail ($750, 212.343.1490) features a mono damask print-suitable for the girl who's anything but a wallflower! Though cloaked in an elaborate Baroque-inspired pattern, Jacobs's loose-fitting getup still flaunts a cool and casual vibe befitting of a resort collection.
Lest you think head-to-toe prints are solely confined to the runway, we present Gaia Repossi at a dinner party to benefit A.E.M. in Paris last December. The jewelry designer turned up at the soiree in Celine's Hibiscus Poeny Print Twill Long Boy Shape Shirt ($1050, 305.866.1888) and Hibiscus Poeny Print Twill Tapered Pants ($960, 305.866.1888) from the Resort 12 collection. Style-savvy Repossi tempered the exuberant floral pattern with a few simple accessories, like Balenciaga's black ankle boots, Rick Owens' clutch, and Repossi's pink gold Berbère ring and multipiercing earrings. We think the artful pairing of the ladylike floral print and edgy elements is a fresh, feasible way of wearing this look.
If you feel inspired to integrate head-to-toe prints into your own wardrobe, we suggest Marc by Marc Jacobs' Havana Floral Print Silk Top ($459) and Havana Floral Silk Tuxedo Pants ($398) in Horizon Teal Multi. The short-sleeve shirt and retro high-rise trousers come in a delightfully tropical crimson and blue motif, and lend a flattering silhouette to any wearer. If you prefer a more nonchalant appeal, we love Tucker's blossoming Long Tie Shirt ($273) and Printed Slouchy Pants ($133). Another way to work this look into your everyday attire is by trying a matching blazer and pants combo, such as ASOS' Blazer In Floral Print ($118) and Cropped Pants In Floral Print ($73) or River Island's Black Floral Print Blazer ($70) and Black Floral Print Slim Leg Trousers ($46). Both options allow you to mix the printed separates with solid-colored pieces for a variety of versatile outfits.
Not a lover of these blooming botanical patterns? Tibi's ornate Easy Blouse ($186) and Cobweb Lace Print Pants ($169) are effortlessly glam when worn together, while Sonia by Sonia Rykiel's star-spangled Printed Silk Crepe De Chine Blouse ($450) and Printed Silk Crepe De Chine Pants ($460) offer a playful twist on head-to-toe prints. We're also fans of the repetitive yellow, white, and black flag pattern in Easton Pearson's colorful Asta Top ($439) and Syriam Pants ($549), as well as the purr-fectly adorable design of Topshop's Paw Print Roll Tee ($130) and Paw Print Trousers ($180) by Boutique. No matter your print preference, we guarantee you'll feel quite heady wearing this bold runway trend in real life!-Tiffany Tse

3. In a large bowl, crumble the tamales and using a fork, stir in the corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pat the turkey dry. Using metal skewers or toothpicks, secure the neck skin to the back of the turkey, then tuck the turkey's wings behind its back.
5. Stuff the tamale mixture into the turkey's cavity and tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Place the turkey in the prepared rack, breast up, and rub with the butter mixture. Cover the turkey loosely with foil and roast for 1 hour, basting with pan drippings every 20 minutes.
6. Uncover and roast for 30 to 45 minutes, until the skin is well browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F in the thighs and drumsticks and 165°F in the breast and stuffing.
7. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter or carving board and let rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
8. Carve the turkey and serve with the tamale stuffing.

LISBON - Code enforcement officer Christopher J. Sherwin was hired by full time the town at Thursdays meeting on a provisional basis until he takes a required civil service exam next year.
Mr. Sherwin began working 24 hours per week in May for a trial period.
Because working more than 20 hours is considered full time by the state, the town council was required to either reduce his hours or rehire him on a provisional basis until he passes a civil service exam.
Prior to May Mr. Sherwin was working 12 to 15 hours per week. He makes approximately $18 an hour.
Mr. Sherwin said he did not feel he would be able to meet the requirements of the position at less than 20 hours per week.
The town council unanimously supported hiring full time Mr. Sherwin on a provisional basis and requesting a civil service exam on his behalf.
I would like to keep him on at 24 hours, Councilor Alan D. Dailey said.
In June Councilor Gary J. Jarvis, liaison to the town Planning Board, said members of the planning board were happy that Mr. Sherwin was working more hours.
In January Planning Board President Steven Wallace said Mr. Sherwin wasnt keeping up with the demands of the job.
But Mr. Jarvis said having Mr. Sherwin on call for 24 hours a week had satisfied the planning board.
Mr. Sherwin said he expects to take the test in June.
