Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Astrid Pocket Tee (Women's):
This shirt is a pretty color (butterfly=purple). It wears very well. I think it might run a tad bit large.--so maybe size down if you are between sizes. I bought the medium and it's quite loose, but not sloppy.
My only complaint is the "pocket"--it's not much of a pocket and it's in the wrong place--so it's not even a stylish pocket. It's just there--a little 2"x2" square on the shirt.
I'd like the shirt a lot more if the pocket wasn't there...
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Cool and comfy
- Great color and styling
- Hope it does not pill
- Washes oknot great

Comments about Patagonia Astrid Pocket Tee (Women's):
I love the color and the cut of this t-shirt, it goes great with a patagonia skirt that I have. My only concern after one wash it already looks a little worn and am concerned that it will start to pill like some blends do.

Hansen's 1988 projections
At Jim Hansen's now famous congressional testimony given in the hot summer of 1988, he showed GISS model projections of continued global warming assuming further increases in human produced greenhouse gases. This was one of the earliest transient climate model experiments and so rightly gets a fair bit of attention when the reliability of model projections are discussed. There have however been an awful lot of mis-statements over the years – some based on pure dishonesty, some based on simple confusion. Hansen himself (and, for full disclosure, my boss), revisited those simulations in a paper last year, where he showed a rather impressive match between the recently observed data and the model projections. But how impressive is this really? and what can be concluded from the subsequent years of observations?
In the original 1988 paper, three different scenarios were used A, B, and C. They consisted of hypothesised future concentrations of the main greenhouse gases – CO2, CH4, CFCs etc. together with a few scattered volcanic eruptions. The details varied for each scenario, but the net effect of all the changes was that Scenario A assumed exponential growth in forcings, Scenario B was roughly a linear increase in forcings, and Scenario C was similar to B, but had close to constant forcings from 2000 onwards. Scenario B and C had an 'El Chichon' sized volcanic eruption in 1995. Essentially, a high, middle and low estimate were chosen to bracket the set of possibilities. Hansen specifically stated that he thought the middle scenario (B) the "most plausible".
These experiments were started from a control run with 1959 conditions and used observed greenhouse gas forcings up until 1984, and projections subsequently (NB. Scenario A had a slightly larger 'observed' forcing change to account for a small uncertainty in the minor CFCs). It should also be noted that these experiments were single realisations. Nowadays we would use an ensemble of runs with slightly perturbed initial conditions (usually a different ocean state) in order to average over 'weather noise' and extract the 'forced' signal. In the absence of an ensemble, this forced signal will be clearest in the long term trend.
How can we tell how successful the projections were?
Firstly, since the projected forcings started in 1984, that should be the starting year for any analysis, giving us just over two decades of comparison with the real world. The delay between the projections and the publication is a reflection of the time needed to gather the necessary data, churn through the model experiments and get results ready for publication. If the analysis uses earlier data i.e. 1959, it will be affected by the 'cold start' problem -i.e. the model is starting with a radiative balance that real world was not in. After a decade or so that is less important. Secondly, we need to address two questions – how accurate were the scenarios and how accurate were the modelled impacts.

Be aware that pg_fetch_all() is subject to the same limitations as pg_fetch_assoc(), in that if your query returns multiple columns with the same name (or alias) then only the rightmost one will be returned in the associative array, other ones will not.
A simple example:
$res = pg_query(
"SELECT a.*, b.* -- Fetch all columns from both tables
FROM table1 AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 as b
USING (column)"
$rows = pg_fetch_all($res);
In this example, since we're selecting columns via *, if any columns from table2 share the same names as those in table1, they will be the ones returned despite that table2 (as the optional side of an outer join) may return NULL values.
This is not a bug, just a limitation of associative arrays in general, and is easy enough to avoid by structuring your queries carefully and using column aliases to avoid confusion.

Why Wasn't There any Veneration of Jesus' Empty Tomb?
One possible suggestion for why the tomb of Jesus wasn't venerated for the first few centuries is made by Bryon McCane. He argued that Jesus was given a shameful burial, based upon Jewish customs of that day, along with hints in the gospel texts themselves. He then concludes by saying, "The shame of Jesus' burial is not only consistent with the best evidence, but can also help to account for an historical fact which has long been puzzling to historians of early Christianity: why did the primitive church not venerate the tomb of Jesus? It is a striking fact--and not at all unthinkable--that the tomb of Jesus was not venerated until it was no longer remembered as a place of shame."
Why Christians wouldn't have venerated the empty tomb of Jesus, if there was such a site, is puzzling to me, no matter whether Jesus had an honorable or dishonorable burial. McCane's suggestion fails to account for the fact that if there was an empty tomb of a resurrected Jesus, it would change everything for the early Christians. For this would've been a completely new situation, unlike any other shameful burial these Jews had previously known. The early church would've believed that the empty tomb signifies hope in a resurrection, like Jesus had experienced. To stand near the opening would've been to stand on the very ground the resurrected body of Jesus stood, if that's what they believed. According to their own beliefs it was the resurrection of Jesus from that empty tomb which provided their victory over sin and death. And remember here, we're talking about people who would later die for their faith. If that's true of these followers, why would they care what others thought about the tomb of Jesus? His crucifixion at the hands of the authorities would not cause them to change their minds about Jesus, either. And there is no evidence of any laws prohibiting visiting the gravesite of someone thought to be a "criminal." Surely mothers were always permitted to visit the sites of their criminal sons...what law would ever prevent that?
McCane also says there are "two other historical phenomena which argue strongly against likelihood that early Christians would have venerated the tomb of Jesus." The first is that the earliest Christian communities (from ca. 30 CE to the Jewish War of 66-72) "were powerfully influenced by apocalyptic eschatology and by charismatic religious experiences. The coming of the Holy Spirit into their midst convinced them that the Age to Come was dawning, and that Jesus would return to earth in glory very soon. The focus of their attention was on the present (the Spirit) and the immediate future (Jesus' glorious return), not on the past (his death and burial). As a result, even if they had not regarded the tomb as a place of shame, they would still not have been likely to venerate it." Secondly, "during the Jewish War of 66-72 the city of Jerusalem was almost totally destroyed by the Roman army. Christians left the city and did not come back in significant numbers. Knowledge of the tomb among Christians – including its location – would have disappeared."
What can be said about McCane's first phenomena? He's certainly correct about the eschatological mentality of the earliest Christian communities. But I still fail to see how anything would change for them. When I venerated what I considered to be the empty tomb of Jesus in Israel in 1989, in our midst were charismatic Christians, who thought Jesus was returning soon. During those years there was a great deal of expectation that Jesus would return to earth soon. There was even a book out called "88 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return in 1988." He didn't. But the year 2000 wasn't that far off. Among many Christians there was a higher than usual expectation of his return (the parousia). Even with this mentality, here we were worshipping at the tomb. So I see little reason here to think eschatological hope would cause the early Christians to neglect the empty tomb, if there really was one.
McCane's second phenomenon has some more force to it. He's correct that with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD Christians left the city and did not come back in significant numbers. But is he correct that knowledge of the location of the tomb among Christians "would have disappeared?" All it would take is for one Christian to remain in Jerusalem to remember it. He would tell others and they would surely hold worship services there, even by night if they had to. To claim the location of the tomb would have disappeared is quite a large claim to make, something that seems improbable to me. However, McCane has given several good reasons for the lack of tomb veneration that do indeed mitigate the force of Kirby's objection.

NEWPORT–The Champlain Valley Union Red Hawks came into the Kingdom with an impressive 7-1 record in 2011, and put on a display of technical soccer wonderment as they defeated the North Country Falcons 3-0.
"These are kids who play a lot of soccer together," said Assistant Coach Andrew Roy of the Red Hawks, "They are a talented group and they are skilled and are always thinking five passes ahead."
From the opening kick-off CVU were masters of their domain, displaying a very quick and high-finesse style, and, as Coach Roy said, seemed to be thinking several moves ahead.
The bottom line is they made the Falcon defense work, and Red Hawk coach TJ Mead was impressed by the poise of the NC 'D' unit
"We had a tough time cracking their defense, their keeper was excellent, the defense for North Country was organized, so it took some perseverance to just keep knocking on the door"
Cody Simoneau, who along with Josh Brien, has been the core of NCU's backfield, had another sharp game yesterday, and had this to say about the duo's efforts this season:
"It's (basically) just hustle. There is a lot of hard work back there with everyone just sticking on their man."
He was also very humble when I noted his play so far this year, saying simply"It's nice to get some recognition."
Logan Fortier was up to the task early, making several quality saves including one tremendously athletic move that saw Fortier twist his body in mid-air to reach back and make a one-handed save on a CVU striker.
"Logan was awesome in net," said Roy, "I think there is one in there that he's like to get back, but he had some incredible reaction saves."
The Red Hawks took the lead at the 22:59 mark thanks in part to some nifty footwork by the CVU forwards.
Shane Healy found an open Samuel Raszka who deked a Falcon defender and beat Fortier cleanly.
The score would remain 1-0 through the remainder of the half.
In the second the Red Hawks struck twice, the first goal coming three and a half minutes in when Raszka hit Ben Comai with a pass and Comai froze Fortier with a nice shot to the far side of the net.
The second CVU tally would occur ten minutes later on a feed from Comai to Haley, and Haley sliding a low shot into the net to close the scoring.
The Falcons have almost a week off before they hit the pitch again. Their next opponent will be the BFA Bobwhites, and the team will travel to Franklin County for next Wednesdays 4:00 match-up.

The Speedplay Light Action Pedal System is designed for the seasoned cyclist or for the first time clipless user. It features an advanced hybrid-pedal technology that combines the most user-friendly characteristics found in Speedplay's popular X and Zero road pedals. At a mere 210 grams per pair, Speedplay Light Action pedals blend the legendary ease-of-entry and non-centering free-float of Speedplay's X Pedal System together with the robust spring design and enhanced durability of Speedplay's Zero Pedal System. Named "Light Action" after its unique low-force, high-security latch mechanism, the new Speedplay Light Action Pedal System provides the easiest and most intuitive entry and release functions ever offered by Speedplay.
While Speedplay's primary design goal was to create the most user-friendly clipless pedal system ever, Light Action pedals continue to provide the same cutting-edge performance benefits that have made Speedplay pedals legendary, including:
- Dual-sided pedal allows instant "no-looking-down" entry. No flipping needed to engage.
- Self-locating cleat guides the entry motion and eliminates fumbling to find the pedal.
- True-locking engagement mechanism provides security and prevents inadvertent release.
- 15 degrees of non-centering free-float reduces stress on the knees.
- Large, stable cleat platform for optimal power transmission and all-day comfort.
- Extremely light weight pedals and cleats improve riding efficiency. Pedals weigh a mere 210 grams per pair.
- Thin pedal body provides the lowest stack height and best cornering clearance available.
- Simple cleat mounting and adjustment makes set-up easy.
- Precision cartridge and needle bearings for reduced friction and longer life.
- Built-in grease-port for fast and easy bearing maintenance.
- Choice of four great pedal color choices: Black, Blue, Pink and Red.
Please Note: Speedplay recommends these Light Action Pedals for recreational road use only. The reality is that the spring tension is too light for racing or competitive purposes under hard efforts.

Do the Light Action pedal come with cleats? the zero has one based on the description.
Cory Davis
Yes they do.
Rafael V.
Easy entry and exit. Liking them a lot.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've only ridden clipless on MTB before, but gotta say I'm liking these very much right away. Entry is a breeze and with dual side entry, even easier, which is the reason I bought them, as I ride in traffic during the week's training. Clipping out is super easy too. Clipping in for the fisrt and/or second time will be a little hard, but afterwards, easy breezy!
Installing the cleats was a "10 minute deal". I do have to say I would like to have some float regulation to be able to reduce it a bit. But in all, they feel and perform great.

Not just for lightweights...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought these to replace some 15 year-old Speedplay Frogs so that I could use stiffer-soled shoes (Mavic Galibier). Installing the cleats was a breeze thanks to the included Snap Shims.
Entry is simple--just stomp and do the "bug squish" thing. Clipping out is easier than LOOK-type pedals. The float feels more natural than the ice cube sensation of the X series (and Frogs).
If you're considering Speedplays, do yourself a favor and get some cleat covers from the very start. Your cleats will last longer, and walking will be less of a challenge.

Awesome pedals
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave this as a gift and have information to report:
"Awesome pedals! Love the colors. They are very hard to clip in the first time but after you get it in the first time, wiggle it around to loosen the spring and it is very easy after that first initial clip. They are my first clipless pedals and takes some time to getting used to but well worth it for long rides."

A great solution for particular fits
Although I do not ride Speedplay pedals, I've worked extensively with them during my time in a shop. Because of the range of adjustability on Speedplay zeroes and the variety of aftermarket adapters, Speedplay zeroes are a bike fitter's go-to for tough fits. The pedals come with all of the necessary hardware to go on both a Speedplay specific shoe an a 3 bolt Look/Shimano style shoe. Some brands offer their own adapters with a lower stack, but the provided hardware should make it possible to run on any road shoe (not 2 bolt style MTB). This pedal offers the same adjustability and functionality as the Ti and Stainless versions at a slightly higher weight and substantially lower price. I'm a fan.
*these do come with cleats

MASSENA - The Business Development Corporation of Greater Massenas 2014 spending plan calls for increasing the salary for its director and providing funding for a possible move back into the downtown corridor.
BDC officials will be meeting with the Massena Town Board later this month to finalize the 2014 spending plan.
BDC Chairman Daniel S. Pease said the salary increase for Executive Director Thomas Sullivan reflects the workload he has been carrying for the part-time position.
I want you guys to recognize the administrative expenses do include some raises for employees. After Toms four months with us, its obvious that the BDC has taken up a little bit more of his time than he anticipated, quite a bit more time than he anticipated, and were proposing a budget that does include a salary increase for him, as well as for Linda in recognition of the workload that both of them are experiencing especially with the Main Street stuff. I think the raises are well deserved, Mr. Pease said.
Mr. Sullivan is set to earn $40,000, while administrative assistant Linda M. Williams will get $15,600. Mr. Sullivans salary is up $6,000, a 15 percent raise, from when he was hired in late June. His predecessor, Michael Almasian, had been hired at a salary of $51,500 with no health insurance benefits.
Mr. Pease added Mr. Sullivans salary is still less than that of executive directors in the past.
The organization also discussed the ongoing efforts being made toward a relocation downtown of BDCs home base.
Operations currently take place at 85 Robinson Road in Massena, the home of the villages Department of Public Works offices.
I think weve been playing around with this for two years and the BDC has always, I guess the consensus is, we need a more centralized downtown location. Maybe 2014, if the budget is approved, is the time to do that. We budgeted in a modest amount for rent and utilities with the idea that we need to seriously, instead of just talking about it, actually move forward with the idea of getting the office downtown, Mr. Pease said.
Rent is at $700 per month, equaling $8,400 total for the year. Utilities will cost $900 for the year, internet service is at $720, and the telephone bill is $3,000.
Mr. Pease said that he would talk with the town board this week about the possibility of moving their office downtown. The office was once housed in the Key Bank building on Main Street.
Mayor James F. Hidy was in attendance for last weeks BDC meeting and said that he has seen progress in the organizations operation.
Revenues consist of $60,000 from the village of Massena, $75,000 from the town of Massena, and $500 in investments, for a total revenue of $135,500.
Total expenses for the BDC 2014 budget will be $135,500, $17,500 of which will come from downtown revitalization efforts.

Turn plain cupcakes into special treats with this cartridge! Whether your cupcakes are for a birthday party, baby shower, holiday, or other special occasion, you are sure to love all the different wrappers. As a bonus, the cartridge also includes coordinating cupcake toppers to help the treats to stand out even more. Use the latest Cricut® cart.....
Click here to read product details
This Cartridge is so fun. I have used it for class on most every occasion. I have even used the wrappers to make crowns and for cups to sit in on the table. I would have done 5 stars but figuring the sizes was a bit difficult.
I like all of the images on this cart and actually got a chance to try out a couple of them. The first image I cut out at 2" and it was slightly too big for my standard size cupcakes. I decided to try another image at 1 1/2" and this is where I discovered that there is a BIG size consistency problem from image to image. I cut the second image three times at 1", 2" AND 3" before it was big enough for one of my cupcakes to fit. Even then at 3" it was slightly smaller than the first one I cut at 2"! I don't know if this is the only image with this problem on the cart, but I sure hope so!
would be great if the size that is downloaded and transferred to the mat was the correct size to be useful or if there was a guide that gave the correct sizing for the templates. The size that downloads are way way too small!
I love the cartridge but....
The size that the wrappers are SUPPOSED to be is NOT right
Hard to figure out what size you need and then cut the CORRECT size

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Has Special Authority for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business/Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB/VOSB) Set-aside and Sole Source Contracts.
Public Law (P.L.) 109-461 entitled "Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006" provides VA with unique authority for contracting with SDVOSB and VOSB. A new procurement hierarchy within VA for open market procurements was created which places our highest priority with SDVOB followed by VOSB. These are followed by 8(a), HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, then all other Small Businesses. This procurement authority, and its subsequent implementation, is a logical extension of VA's mission, to care for our nation's Veterans. VA refers to this program as the Veterans First Contracting Program. See VA Acquisition Regulation Part 808, Required Sources of Supplies and Services, for the priorities in acquisition..
In order to qualify for participation in the VA Veterans First Contracting Program, eligible business owners must first be verified.
VA has developed a Verification Assistance Program to help Veterans understand the Verification policy and process. The goal of the program is to reduce the risk of denial due to lack of understanding and misinterpretation of the regulation. To accomplish this objective, we are establishing partnerships with Veteran Services and small business support organizations that can provide assistance to Veterans considering applying for the Vet First program.
You can find step-by-step instructions in the Verification Process Briefing. This short briefing provides an overview of the process, screen shots for submitting your application and an explanation of the stages of the process.

And the forum is all mine.HEHEHE!
It is the wee hours of the morning and here I am awake and bored. :
And the forum is all mine.HEHEHE!
Mine,mine, mine all mine.
Doodoo doodoodoo zippity doo.Guess everyone is asleep as I should be.I'm flippin out man.
woah, hold on there! it isn't all yours...I am always up at this hour!
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.
Aw sh$t, busted! ;D And by the main man too!
Try during the day when the boss is sleeping.
Oh nerdy brethren...
your dark souls fueled by iridescent "Dew"!!!
It occurs to me that if all the nerds united we could conquer this world in one night.
Indeed, realizing that "Slack" makes up 75% of a "Nerd" immediately and fully negates any chances of this happening. Of course, if we could find a way to do this in the confines of our safe-haven... our plush executive-esque leather chairs...
I really wouldn't doubt it, if "nerds" could come together in one night. They could really take over the computers of the world, and therefore have pseudo power. Just happens that the majority of "nerds" couldn't do the possession part. You can't win a war without possession fellas, sorry!
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.

Skinny Belt: The perfect combination of function and style, this versatile belt slips easily through the belt loops of so many pants and jeans. Or wear it at the waist with dresses and tunics to create an hourglass shape.

Rating: 4.00 out of 5 votes cast
Fun Trendy Belt
I bought the silver belt because it is such a nice color change for summer. It really adds just the right touch of cool color with classic white, tan, or gray shorts. It gives the classics a lift into the present without being overly trendy. I saw this belt paired with white jeans and navy top in the catalog. I have worn it several times and also get a compliment from friends. It is a nice touch of summer fun for a reasonable price.
Henderson, NV
Makes a fashion statement
I purchased two of each of the belts to go with different outfits. One size to wear around my waist for one style, and another size a little bigger to wear on my hips for a little different effect. They are just cute skinny belts to wear as a fashion statement, to bring a well put together outfit to the next level! They are nice little belts for the price and you can wear them many different ways to make an awesome outfit. I don't wear mine through belt loops, I wear mine over my different tops, that's how I like it the best. I'm happy with them! :)

I love it
It is a exact match to the material in the shirt I bought to wear with. I will enjoy it much.
Okka City, OK
Waste of money
I loved the look of this belt but you definitely get what you pay for with this product. Very cheaply made. The material wears down after 1 day of wearing. Cracks show up at the point where you buckle it.Leather is a much better material to purchase and will last for years.I am returning.

|A semi tractor that was hauling a trailer with rebar sits amongst frozen prepared dinners that were ripped out of the reefer trailer behind it during an accident that occurred just west of Soldiers Summit on Friday afternoon. The driver of the flatbed was killed in the accident.
An early afternoon accident near Soldier Summit on Valentines Day claimed the life of an Ogden truck driver traveling eastbound in a flatbed tractor trailer rig hauling rebar.
The accident, which occurred at 12:15 p.m. on Feb. 14, did not close the canyon highway, even though the crash blocked the eastbound lanes. However, law enforcement authorities considered closing traffic on U.S. Highway 6 at least one way for a while after the accident.
The fatal collision reportedly occurred when a reefer semi-truck, filled with frozen prepared meals bound for grocery store shelves, came around the corner west of the Soldiers Summit gas station.
The westbound truck apparently tipped over onto its side and slid into the oncoming traffic lane. The flatbed driven by James Howard Orton, age 50 of Weber County, reportedly ran directly into the trailer of the reefer truck.
The force of the impact tore the side of trailer out, scattering the frozen dinners along the roadway as well as down the hillside below the highway.
The accident tore the side out of the flatbeds tractor and it took emergency crews some time to extract Orton from the cab.
"It appears excessive speed probably had something to do with this accident," indicated Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Al Christensen at the scene of the fatal collision.
The accident occurred close to the summit, slightly across the Wasatch County line, and authorities from both sides of the mountain came to the scene. Authorities arriving at the collision site included UHP troopers and deputies from the Utah County Sheriff's Office.
The main rescue crew came from Helper along with a Carbon County ambulance. Spanish Fork rescue personnel also were on the scene.
Once extracted from the wreckage, the injuries to Orton were so extreme that it was determined that Life Flight needed to be called to transport the truck driver to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
Orton was placed inside the Carbon County ambulance until the emergency helicopter landed across the highway from the service station. However, the victim was pronounced dead shortly after the flight crew arrived at the site.
The fatal traffic accident attracted the attention of the upstate media, with a Fox 13 cameraman on the scene and the KSL Channel 5 helicopter hovering overhead taking video of the scene.
The impact of the collision not only scattered the contents of the reefer along the highway, but also sent rebar flying forward and off the flatbed trailer. The tipped vehicle was almost interlocked with the flatbed, forcing the highway patrolmen and rescue personnel to climb over and under the flatbed in order to access to the driver's compartment.
The big rigs had to be pulled apart, with the reefer truck being dragged on its side across the highway by a large wrecker before the vehicle could be righted. The driver of the westbound truck was not identified and reportedly only received minor injuries.
The investigation into the accident is continuing.

Bartow, Florida - When accused murderer14-year-old Cassidy Goodson of Lakeland appeared in court for the first time Friday, she was wearing a bright lime green jail inmate uniform and her long brown hair was pulled back giving the appearance as if it had been cut short.
The Kathleen High School freshman is being tried as an adult as she facesa first degree murder charge and a charge of aggravated assault in thedeath of her newborn baby boy.
10 News previously did not identify Goodson, but are now doing so, because adult charges have been filed, as well as the Polk County Sheriff's Office believing she was not a victim of sexual abuse.
See Also:Should teen accused of killing newborn been identified?
"Just sad. Sad. Cause you can always, you know, give the baby up," said a parent of a Kathleen student, who didn't want to be identified.
According to officials with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the high school freshman killed her baby because she "didn't know what to do with it" and "didn't want the relationship with her parents to change."
"It's sickening. Never should have had a baby anyway. And she's still a baby herself. Yeah, she's a baby herself and that's a shame, you know," said parent of a teenage girl, Mike Edmond.
Detectives say the teen went into labor September 19 in a bathroom at her home,took a pair of scissors to "pry the baby out," and delivered the child alive and into the toilet.
Investigators say Cassidy lifted the moving infant from the toilet, felt for a pulse, found one, then placed her hands around the infant's neck and squeezed until he wasn't moving or breathing any longer. She took the infant's pulse again and found none.
Detectives add that Cassidycleaned up the bathroom, bathed herself and the dead infant before placing him in a shoebox along with soiled towels and clothing.
Authorities say the girl's mother did take her to Lakeland Regional Medical Center that day, after seeing a mess in the bathroom, and the teen claimed she miscarried.
The motherfound the baby's body in a shoebox three days later.
According to detectives, the teen admitted to choking the newborn. The baby was a full term, 9.5 pound boy. Cassidy weighs 100 lbs.
According to detectives, the teen hid the pregnancy from her parents, however family members had told her mother they thought the teen may be pregnant.
Polk County sheriff Grady Judd said the girl's mother was in denial.
"She probably was scared at one point, that's why she did it. But then again, it was bad on her behalf that she did it, and not telling anyone to help her out," said Kathleen High senior, Dikerria Wilson.
Goodsonappeared in court forher first appearance Friday at noon. The court proceeding only took a matter of minutes.Judge Susan Flood explained the charges against her and told her that a public defender would continue to represent her.
Flooddenied her bond, so Goodson will remain in jail.As the court proceeding ended, Judge Flood said toGoodson, "Good luck to you, ma'am."
Meanwhile, Goodson'sAssistant Public Defender, Howard Dean Garrett,said she wasgoing to file a bail motion today to get her client out of jail.
Goodson's family and friendsdid not attend the court appearance.Detectives say shehad been tryingto conceal her pregnancy from her family by wearing baggy clothing for the past several months.

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) suffer from chronic shortness of breath, and have impaired survival related to progressive right ventricular failure. Abnormal vasoreactivity to nitric oxide(NO) plays a role in the pathophysiology of PAH. Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitors) sildenafil have been shown to be beneficial in PAH, but extent of benefit is variable.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Modulating Effects of Lisinopril on Sildenafil Activity in PAH (MELISSA)
- The primary aim of the pilot study is to assess feasibility and tolerability. [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Demonstrate tolerability of long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) therapy in this patient cohort [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Demonstrate whether long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) pts on sildenafil modifies regulation of the genes. [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Demonstrate whether ACEI in PAH pts on sildenafil reduces N-BNP levels, a marker of disease severity [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Demonstrate whether ACEI in PAH pts on sildenafil has an effect on pulmonary gas exchange parameters (exhaled NO, Dm, Vc, DLCO). [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Obtain exploratory data regarding whether ACEI in PAH pts on sildenafil improves functional class and 6 minute walk distance. [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Twitter released their "Top Twitter Trends of 2010" list today, and you might be surprised by some of the results. As you might already be able to guess, Apple was a huge winner according to the list, and their products held three of the top four spots on the list.
In first place for the biggest Twitter trend of 2010 came the Apple iPad, a tablet device that has taken the tech industry by storm and has successfully secured a large part of the tablet computer market, with several competitors just now getting around to releasing their own tablet devices. In second place came Google Android, an operating system that has become increasingly popular across dozens of devices this year. As the largest competitor for the Apple iOS, it is interesting to see that "Apple iOS," and "unlocked iPhone 4" came in the third and fourth positions for the most popular technology trending topics on the social networking service.
Twitter has been able to grow their number of users by more than 100 million accounts in total this year (although it is not currently clear how many individual users that equates to, as often websites, companies and services will have their own Twitter accounts and therefore do not use the service in the same way as an everyday user would).
In the fifth position was Call of Duty Black Ops, followed by New Twitter, which refers to the layout change that Twitter rolled out earlier this year, then HTC unlocked phones, RockMelt, MacBook Air and Google Instant, which refers to the large change that Google made to their search engine allowing users to instantly see results appearing as they type their query into the search box. There is no word on how many Tweets or searches each individual term received. Although there is no way to tell how much of an effect being a top trending Twitter topic has on a product or company, having the world talk about you is never a bad thing in the eyes of the tech industry.

Some Encouraging Numbers
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 11/13/06, 11:01am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
The only good thing coming out of NYK-land is Knickerblogger, whose comprehensive stat-keeping keeps us entertained while watching really bad NFL football. What do KB's early season efficiency stats tell us about the Clippers?
Once the Clips integrate Chris Kaman back into the regular flow of their offense, we can expect that FG efficiency number to bounce upward, and for that stingy TO number to rise.
- The Clippers are 4th in the league in defensive efficiency - number of points allowed per 100 possessions - behind only Sacramento, Chicago, and New Jersey, despite playing PHX twice in the first six games. They rank 4th in opponents' FG efficiency, as well.
- The Clips are clearing the boards on the defensive end and allowing relatively few offensive rebounds, 9th in the league.
- On the offensive end, the Clippers rank 8th in efficiency, scoring 93.8 points per 100 possessions.
- The most eye-popping stat? The Clippers rank 2nd in turnovers, giving the ball up only 14.1 times per 100 possessions. This probably goes a long way to explaining the 8th-in-the-league number. Last season, the Clips were in the middle of the pack.
- Interestingly, the Clippers rank near the bottom in Offensive FG efficiency (27th), further testimony to the low turnover number. When the stats reflect that a non-turnover possession on both ends yields an average of at least one point, you can get away with mediocre three-point shooting (last in 3PM/per game; 28th in 3P%).
- Something else helpful: Clippers again demonstrate an ability to get to the line. They rank 7th in FTM/FGA, after ranking 8th last year.
Once the Clips integrate Chris Kaman back into the regular flow of their offense, we can expect that FG efficiency number to bounce upward, and for that stingy TO number to rise.

A 2009 New York Times article described how before the economic recession people would not hesitate to enjoy a "momentary pleasure–$4 lattes…lip gloss, [or] mints", for example. Presently people have to go without those pleasures due to economic factors. A rather simple traditional explanation for the economic recession is that people were perhaps having too much fun buying, borrowing, selling etc. When describing the pre-economic recession behavior the emphasis is usually on the emotion of enjoyment that drives the behavior. Now, during the recession people are described as fearful and will spend less, which is expected since there is a degree of uncertainty, the reporter writes.
An alternative explanation is that a collective sense of misery or sadness and being self-focused caused individuals to spend more leading to the present economic recession. In fact, in a laboratory experiment individuals who were primed with sadness and self-focus tended to sell items at a lower price and buy at a higher price (Cryder et al., 2008; Lerner et al., 2004). Researchers argued that participants, feeling down, wanted to enhance the way they felt and as a result gave a higher value to the object purchased. For the opposite effect, Lerner et al., (2004) primed participants with disgust that resulted in the willingness to pay less for the item and lowering the selling price. The results were explained as participants wanting to rid themselves of "anything new", which may explain the present economic recession. Of course, the findings have limited ecological validity and the generalization may be slightly simplistic. However it is not farfetched to conclude, as newspaper articles do, that specific emotions motivate us to act.

Advanced Aerowalk Strategy

version 1.4, written on July 15th, 2005 (added defensive/offensive enemies
and the momentum trick)
version 1.5, written on December 13th, 2005 (added a link to my map
I have come to be known as a "one map wonder" on aerowalk. While in dm2/dm4/dm6
I am div3 or the very bottom of div2 in skill, in aerowalk I am able to fight
on equal ground with the lower members of div1, and even the upper ones on a
good day. My rapid skill advancement on aero has intrigued many, and I have
been asked many times for guidance on how to play the map. So, I decided to
ignore all those people individually and write a strategy guide for all
The Fundamental Theorem of Quakeworld
If I had to sum up the grand and essential theory behind how to play qw, and
how to play aerowalk, it would be this:
A) When you correctly guess what your opponent is going to do, you gain.
B) When you incorrectly guess what your opponent is going to do, you lose.
The inverse is also true:
C) When your opponent incorrectly guesses what you are going to do, you gain.
D) When your opponent correctly guesses what you are going to do, you lose.
The implications of this theorem seem obvious, but make sure you take some time
to consider all the ramifications of these four statements.
Considering the Fundamental Theorem
The rest of this document will be a gradual discussion centered on theory,
which will change into a discussion on the actual practice of the theory.
First, you must learn the map. This is obvious, but take the time to get the
muscle reflexes learned so that you can execute your actions with the most
efficiency. Again, if you do something your opponent does not expect, you gain.
Speed and agility enable you to act faster and make tactical changes faster,
which increases your versatility and flexibility when countering your
opponent's strategy.
Secondly, get in your opponent's head! Like poker, this game is all about
psychology. If you can accurately and precisely predict what your opponent will
do, you have him beat (unless he outaims you to such an extreme extent that you
cannot stop him). If he seems to be a player that favors the high ground, find
a counterattack to that strategy. Essentially, this follows directly from the
Fundamental Theorem: figure out what your opponent is going to do, both in
battle and while staking out territory in the map, and make him PAY for it. All
strategies have weaknesses; it is the winner who knows how best to break down
his opponent's strategies!
Strategies are the decisions you make about macroscopic events, such as what
items you focus on controlling or what part of the map you wish to dominate;
tactics are the smaller-scale actions you take to win or retreat from a
particular battle. The person with the superior tactics and strategies will win
the match.
There are four packs of cells on the map. When I say "cells" I mean the ledge
in the middle of the map with just 2 cell packs on it. When I say "LG," I mean
the lightning gun near the red armor.
Also, this is a dueling guide. The concepts can be applied to other maps and
team sizes, but I wrote this for 1on1 aerowalk.
Spawn ******
I say this about spawnraping:
"You want the control of the map, so that when your opponent dies, you can
maximize the number of spawnkills you get."
Many say that quakeworld is all about spawnkills; I would agree with them. The
strategy is this: You are fighting for the right to make spawnkills. If your
opponent spawns and grabs the nearest rocket launcher before you can attack
him, you can't kill him as easily. You have lost the right to kill him without
any penalty to yourself, because he is probably going to shoot at you to do
some damage. Kill before your opponent can fight back!
In short, controlling the places where you can get the most spawnkills is the
critical focus point of the map's strategy. In other words, in a game where you
know where your opponent is at all times, campers can't win because they don't
have anyone to kill! So you fight for the places where you can get "cheap" and
"easy" kills.
Hearing Enemy Movement
You can hear alot on aerowalk. Listen for jumps. For example, when someone
rocket jumps from the RA with the intent of coming out at upper-RL, you will
hear three jumps right before he emerges from the hole. Shoot rockets at the
appropriate time. Of course, your opponent can know that he is making this
predictable noise, and could bunny for one jump, zigzag to the health, then
bunny out again to the RL, which messes up your timing.
Listen for item pickups! The single most vulnerable enemy is one who does not
disguise his actions.
Avoiding Being Predicted by Your Opponent
Most of this guide deals with how to predict your opponent's thinking in a
nice, psychological sense. This is where I explain with some more concrete
details how you can avoid your enemy's prediction of your actions. You want to
confuse your opponent so that you can escape, or snatch an item, or catch him
off guard for a surprise kill.
One of my favorite "moves" is the switchback: go somewhere, pick up an item
near an exit, then turn around and go somewhere else. You will have your
opponent waiting for you to emerge, and you can stick a rocket in his face from
another direction!
For example, if you are trapped at GL-GA area, with your opponent at mega, go
up the stairs, pick up the health packs, and then quietly zigzag/run around to
the upper-RL. Not only have you gotten a health benefit, but now your opponent
thinks you are waiting for him to stick his head out where you can see him from
the upper-SNG ledge! Another example is if your opponent has more armor than
you, and would win a direct fight, you feint: when he comes up the RA stairs to
get RA, bunny from upper-RL, pick up the cells at the lightning gun and throw
some grenades or rockets, then bunny out of there through upper-RL. You will
escape with more ammo and more health (which means less for him) and a confused
The list goes on and on. Adhere to the Fundamental Theorem and all will be well.
Limited Supply
Ammo respawns every 15 seconds. Armor respawns every 20 seconds. Megahealths
respawn 20 seconds after they run out (health returns to 100 or below).
It should be obvious, that to "stay in the game," you must control the ammo!
Armors and the megahealth are obvious focus points, but when you and your
opponent fight and both retreat, make sure to take all the health you can, so
that he does not recover as well! Additionally, if your opponent shafts twice
as well as you, remember to spam rockets at the cells, and get them for
yourself too. In this way, you can wage a war of attrition with your enemy, and
cause him to venture further and further out of his comfort zone. An
uncomfortable enemy equals a vulnerable one, and you can annihilate him easier
when he is lacking ammo, health, and opportunities for attacking you.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a fictional story that offers a unique perspective on how prejudice, hatred and violence affect innocent people, particularly children, during wartime. Through the lens of an eight-year-old boy largely shielded from the reality of World War II, we witness a forbidden friendship that forms between Bruno, the son of Nazi commandant, and Shmuel, a Jewish boy held captive in a concentration camp. Though the two are separated physically by a barbed wire fence, their lives become inescapably intertwined. The imagined story of Bruno and Shmuel sheds light on the brutality, senselessness and devastating consequences of war from an unusual point of view. Together, their tragic journey helps recall the millions of innocent victims of the Holocaust.

Read: Dave Maloney On The Rangers and Their Window
Dave Maloney was a guest on Sportsnet's Hockey Central recently and was asked by the hosts, Darren Millard, Nick Kypreos and Doud MacLean about where he would place the Rangers in terms of the top tier of the league.
"I do think that you do need to put them in the mix of teams that you need to keep an eye on. I think the core of their team is in a good wheelhouse part of their career, they are solid in goal and on the blue line. Ryan McDonagh has become a force to be reckoned with. I think that if you need to build from the goal out to be a contender than this Rangers team is certainly in the mix of things."
Maloney then brought up the Rangers window to win with this group and said that they probably have 2-3 years and that they really need to take advantage of Brad Richards while he is still in his prime.

|Bears Blow Four-Goal Lead, Lose Third Straight
|Written by Staff Reports
|Sunday, 07 April 2013 08:37
The Coker Men's Lacrosse Team (3-10) rallied from a four-goal deficit to defeat Lenoir-Rhyne (8-7), 12-9, Saturday evening at Byerly Park.
Coker's Keith LaClair (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) and Steven Zolezzi (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) both scored four goals as the Cobras upended the Bears and snapped their three-match losing streak. L-R, which ended the first period with a 4-0 lead, was paced by junior Sam Ashton's (New Market, Md.) three goals on the night.
Lenoir-Rhyne sophomores Tanner Botts (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and Ned Kaish (Atlanta, Ga.) both scored twice as well but the Bears lost their third consecutive contest. Ryan Vento (Bellmore, N.Y.) gave the Cobras a 6-5 advantage with 11:59 remaining in the third period with what would prove to be the game-winning goal.
Ryan Maurer (Mount Sinai, N.Y.) added two goals and three assists for Coker, who held the advantage in both shots taken (40-35) and ground balls (49-33) in the win. In goal, Coker's Tim Ryan (Glocester, R.I.) stopped 14 shots en route to the victory while Lenoir-Rhyne junior Steven McGhee (Durham, N.C.) made 16 saves despite the loss.
Lenoir-Rhyne will host the semifinals of the Deep South Conference Tournament on Thursday at Moretz Stadium. Coker hosts Young Harris on Wednesday afternoon beginning at 3:00 p.m.
