Carson Aura 2X / 4X Digital Night Vision Monocular is rated out of 5 by 1.Rated 4 out of 5 by LECIA from When I received this in the mail and took it out of the box, I thought to myself this looks like a toy, and an expensive one at that. but I put batteries in it and tried to keep an open mind. it was easy to use, but the clarity of the image was sketchy, blurry and just not what I was expecting and not worth the money in my opinion. so I sent it back. but someday I will find one that I hope gives better detail in the image. it was sent in promptly and so was the refund so I give a good ratingDate published: 2013-12-18

Relive history on the West Island Heritage Trail
Newcomers to the West Island can acquaint themselves with the rich history of the region via the Heritage Trail, a 70-kilometre path which wends its way past more than 100 ancestral homes and waterfront landmarks steeped in yesteryear.
Whether on foot or by bicycle, residents can tour the terrain at their leisure, while exploring the picturesque villages and districts whose roots can be traced back centuries.
The concept for the Heritage Trail originated with la Societé du patrimoine de l'ouest-de'l'ile, a non-profit organization founded in 2002 and whose mission is to promote local heritage.
The private dwellings and public buildings on the trail bear detailed, descriptive plaques, and can largely be found hugging the shores of Lake St. Louis, Rivieres des Prairies, and the Ottawa River.
Architectural styles range from the Quebec-style reminiscent of the early settlers, to Victorian influences which characterize the summer residences erected by Montreal's financial magnates.
The most palatial was Stewart Hall, a Scottish-style manor built in 1916. Located at 176 Lakeshore Rd., the home was later donated by the Macdonald Stewart family to the City of Pointe Claire and is today a flourishing cultural centre. Pointe Claire's history dates back to 1698, when it was settled by the Sulpicians. About a decade later the seigneurs built a fortified windmill overlooking the lake; an enduring symbol of the town, the windmill still stands today and is one of the oldest remaining traces of the French colonial presence in the area. The village is home to several other historic buildings, among them the Antoine Felsque House (1850) at 15 Ste. Anne St., which survived a fire at the turn of the century that destroyed half the town.
Other highlights of the trail include Le Petit Fort at 19530 Gouin Blvd. in Pierrefonds. Constructed in 1750, the stone house reputedly served as an armed outpost for the Montreal garrison; gun loopholes can be found in the basement walls.
In Ste. Anne de Bellevue, one of several points of interest is the Simon Fraser House at 153 Ste. Anne St. Erected in 1798, the residence was purchased by the Canadian explorer in 1810. Poet Tomas Moore wrote the Canadian Boat Song while staying there. Grove House at 26 Lakeshore Rd. in Beaconsfield was built in 1810. The property was later transformed into a vineyard and is today a part of the Beaconsfield Yacht Club.

A teacher's trip to Haiti through the eyes of his students -- Curtis Donar and Faith Vasquez, two high school students in Mark Raines' Cinema classes at Canyon Crest Academy, created an 11-minute documentary entitled "Haitian Hope: Field Hospital" to tell the story of Raines' mission trip to earthquake-ravaged Haiti in the spring of 2010. Raines also provided the raw video to all 90 students in his classes to have them each create their own 3-5 minute documentaries about the trip. Some of the best of those videos are featured on this Vimeo site as well as the main documentary.

At around 8 p.m. Friday, a North Platte police officer went to the emergency room at Great Plains Regional Medical Center in response to a juvenile boy who was reportedly under the influence of prescription drugs.
Following a preliminary investigation, the officer determined that there was probable cause to arrest a second boy for distribution of metadate, a controlled substance commonly used to treat attention deficit disorder.
Three other juveniles were disciplined at the school, Brown said.
Metadate can have serious side effects, including nervousness, nausea, vomiting, or headache, and in some cases fainting, seizure, symptoms of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating) or stroke (such as weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, sudden vision changes and confusion,) according to a host of medical authorities.

I had picked up 2 lanterns from the P Barn that the hinges broke on the first day of use. I saw these online and was very pleasantly surprised that these were so well made and attractive. They are fairly heavy lanterns.
We found some Luminara battery operated candles with a realistic flickering flame tip and just made the steps up to the hot tub look fantastic.

A rumor suggests that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 15, the next installment in the long-running golf simulation title has been canceled at EA Sports, mainly in order to save resources on a project that tends to lose money each year.
Kotaku cites anonymous sources inside the company who say the game was supposed to be outsourced to a new team in order to allow the core of developers to work on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 16 for next-generation consoles.
Electronic Arts has not commented on the rumor.
Sources are also claiming that some of the developers working on Tiger Woods PGA Tour are now part of other teams inside EA Sports.
Recently, EA has been hit by a big wave of layoffs and it seems that EA Sports has lost about 10 percent of its staff.

Postgame QuotesWisconsin vs. MinnesotaOct. 20, 2012Camp Randall Stadium – Madison, Wis.
Wisconsin Head Coach Bret BielemaOPENING STATEMENT: Really excited to keep the Axe. Obviously a rivalry game and to play Minnesota and close the game out the way we did, I thought it did a lot of good for our players. I think our coaches, our players, everybody's gained a little bit of confidence week by week. A lot of guys playing good football. I'd also like to say thanks to the crowd. 11 a.m. kickoff, I thought they were great from the get go (especially) when we got things rolling there pretty good. Really need to be great next week, 2:30 kickoff, Michigan State, big game. We've been looking forward to.
As far as injury wise, I don't know where Ricky (Wagner) is at, if we'll have him back next week but he's making progress. Really came out of the game clean. Montee put himself back, after he got clearance, put himself back in there. I'm not really concerned about that. Couple of our special teams players got a little dinged up.
But give a lot of credit to Minnesota. I think they're making good progress. Coach (Kill) does a good job. And one of the things I love about our guys, we may not be the sexiest, prettiest things alive but we do know how to play four quarter football games. And for me personally it's fun to coach this group.
I know we don't have the record maybe we want to at this point. But we did become bowl eligible, 6 2 football team getting better every week. So I'm excited about that. So with that open up for questions.
QUESTION: You mentioned playing a four quarter game. You got stronger in the second half. Did you guys need to start taking advantage in the first, the chance there?
BIELEMA: I think so. Obviously in the first half we'd like to get some points out of those red zone opportunities. We took three huge sacks. Again Joel's just learning how to be a quarterback. Some of those things he's got to get rid of the football.
But you coach well on Sundays for a guy like that. And we'll point those things out for him. We don't want him to mishandle the game because he obviously played really good for the rest of the game. But it's part of a learning process.
The good news is he's a freshman. And I think our guys are getting better.
We also debuted James White as a quarterback. It was something he did in high school at St. Thomas Aquinas. During fall camp … we've been working with that for a while. Fun to see that come through and it's (a) difficult formation for them to line up to and obviously had a little bit of success.
QUESTION: What was the decision to use that?
BIELEMA: At Wisconsin we have a lot of big people. And that got quite a few of them out there. I believe there's, if I'm not mistaken, seven linemen on the field, six, seven linemen with two tight ends and two tailbacks, cut out the pretty guys, no wide receivers or quarterbacks. We didn't even put our fullback out there. (Derek) Watt's probably mad. But again there's so many gaps. When I first saw the formation, you got little people and then they sub big people in there as well, got people lining up in an unusual spot get James trying to find a hole and obviously there's a play of Montee coming around as well.
QUESTION: What's it meant to your offense to have White and Ball going at the same time?
BIELEMA: To get those guys playing, you see them running a little differently. Obviously they're breaking tackles, making people miss, getting something out of nothing. Also again, and I can't emphasize this enough, the reason Montee and James are having success, they're doing a lot of great things individually, but the people in front of them are playing well. Our offensive line is getting a hat on a hat. We're not quite there yet. But the guys are straining.
To have Ricky Wagner, probably our best offensive lineman, out of there; to be able to do those things, we knew it wasn't going to be easy. We wore them down. Not just the o-line but our fullbacks, tight ends, wide receivers are blocking extremely well down field. Coach Azzani, most excited I've seen a wide receiver coach get, when I think Jordan Fredrick knocked one of their better DBs off the ground. You can see that energy carry forward to our players.
QUESTION: Left (guard), rotated two series at a time in the first half, looked like Burge got more, was that the plan?
BIELEMA: (Robert) Burge, thought we'd have to use all those guys in there. I think there was a play where Robby's shoe came off, too. We've got to educate him on that. Because we were kind of caught shorthanded there. But I think (Kyle) Costigan, (Robert) Burge, Zac (Matthias), all those guys would be rolling through, and Tyler Marz popped in there in the big package. Good to get those guys reps and game time.
QUESTION: Have a name for that package?
BIELEMA: Barge. Barge. Very big piece of people moving down the field together in unison. I didn't come up with that. That's all Coach Canada. So it was fun to see that come through. I know the kids really enjoy it. Everybody gets a kick out of that when we play it in practice.
QUESTION: Were you hoping to use that package earlier, in previous games?
BIELEMA: We had and then we really got hurt with a couple of linemen. And we've probably practiced it for at least the last three or four weeks, and it's just the beginning of what that package can do. James can throw the ball.
QUESTION: Obviously Joel has been so good with play action. Where do you feel he needs to get more consistent?
BIELEMA: Like I mentioned earlier, getting rid of the ball in pressure. There's one thing to try to create a play or try to stay alive. But when you're outnumbered, when they're bringing more than one we have to protect, the guys are covered up, get rid of the football. Live to play another day. Great teaching. Two real good football opportunities where you're taking points off the board. We just can't go backwards.
QUESTION: Keeping the axe, can you talk about the excitement of the guys to still be able to embrace it?
BIELEMA: I think we take a lot of pride in that. I learned that when I first came here. I'm a guy from Illinois. Played at Iowa. I don't know what's going on. I hear these guys talking about the axe during the off season and our players probably get more engrained to it. Guys that are out of state really come in start buying into this whole thing. We know the guys at Wisconsin and Minnesota, it means a lot. But it's a representation of a victory. But it's a representation of a victory for an entire year. That thing sits in our trophy case.
I always get a kick I remember last spring we were I don't know if we were in Oshkosh or somewhere in Wisconsin and myself and Coach Alvarez and Ron Dane and I think Bo Ryan was there, and we had a few people in our line but people were stacked up 20 deep to take a picture with the axe. Lets you have a perspective on how popular you are.
But I think for our entire state and fan base it's a big, big deal.
QUESTION: Are there areas you'd like to see Joel come along, you said he's young?
BIELEMA: I think he's a guy that really takes coaching. He understands the situation. Right when there's never any if he's uncertain, he tells you exactly where he's at. So I think he can handle that. I think that there are some things as he gets a little more confidence on third down we like to see him better at. Again, that just takes a little bit of time. We have to be smart what we do with him.
QUESTION: You mentioned Devin Smith's solid play today. Address what he did on that pick to
BIELEMA: Devin Smith or Ethan Armstrong.
QUESTION: Address his play.
BIELEMA: Devin's played pretty well. I have to hand it to him. From coming back from that foot injury a year ago to come back to his senior year and play as aggressive as he is and what he's doing is he's setting himself up for an NFL opportunity. He's a guy that's got a lot of speed. A lot of ability. Things are very important to him and he's restructured his life I think in a positive way that hopefully we truly benefit from it now, and he can see the dividends down the road.
QUESTION: How would you assess your defense, especially with maybe the uncertainty of Minnesota's quarterback?
BIELEMA: You know, we didn't have any idea who was going to play quarterback. You could see, I was watching MarQueis (Gray) and I saw he didn't take any reps as quarterback in pregame. We thought it was going to be down to Max (Shortell) and No. 9 (Philip Nelson).
The one thing with our defense, we don't do a lot of stuff. We kind of line up and play. Somebody put a quote in my box the other day and said I'd rather be a person that reps the same thing 100,000 times rather than somebody who tries to rep something different 100,000 times, and that's the way our defense is built. We just get really good at what we're doing. We don't do a lot. It allows us to play fast, physical.
I think our defensive coaches do a tremendous job, when a play hurts us they do a nice job of dissecting why it broke down and what we need to do to fix it. Classic case being that Ethan Armstrong pick. That was a sideline adjustment that they saw from the field. And Chris (Ash) and Coach (Andy) Buh got it together and it's a pick. It changes the game.
QUESTION: Were you surprised how much they used Nelson in the running game?
BIELEMA: He was a good athlete. We evaluated him. And obviously it's in Minnesota's system because of what they were doing. Even No. 11, the last couple of games they started using him more in the quarterback run game. So I know they've got a good group of coaches there. And they weren't going to reinvent the wheel. A lot of new plays, a lot of stuff we haven't seen out there before. Again give credit to our defensive guys.
QUESTION: What happened on Jack Russell's kickoff out of bounds?
BIELEMA: You know what, I think the wind was coming across the field. When it happened, I didn't grab him. Kickers, you tend to like to give them couple minutes to gather themselves. They usually get a little sideways. I went over and talked to him. And I think he just kind of overthought himself a little bit.
But Kyle's (French) been hitting the ball extremely well. That first one he drove in the end zone. That was into a pretty stiff wind. So the good news is … we had one more kick, I almost actually gave Jack that last one because he had been doing pretty well, but just really wanted to ride the wave of Kyle making nice hits.
QUESTION: What went into the decision not to kick the field goal in the second quarter? What was Kyle's range going that way?
BIELEMA: Actually, right at that, it was right about there. In pregame they told me 58 one way and 54 the other way is what, which I automatically subtract 15. But it was right on the cusp of that. But he's been hitting the ball really, really well.
QUESTION: With the struggles you had early in the season, how fun is it to see how far this team has come and how fun is it to coach this group?
BIELEMA: It's a lot of fun. I told our guys today, when I last met with them before we broke for pregame meal that this is a group that is a lot of fun to be around, a lot of characters, a lot of personalities. They work. They really, I think, enjoy the game, been playing well. And when people were beating us up or saying whatever, I think our guys just look straight ahead and worked, and have gotten better.
I'm really happy with my staff. I like the growth that they've had. Especially offensively, to go through what they went through, and to put up the numbers and account for some of the points that they're putting out there is pretty special. And I think our kids really have bought into it as well.
QUESTION: How much did you recruit Nelson?
BIELEMA: We recruited him. His dad played here obviously. And Coach Chryst, at that time he was a pretty spot on guy when we got after quarterbacks. And I had heard about him for a number of years and obviously put up some productions and then just obviously didn't go in that direction when it came but a very good football player.
QUESTION: On Chris Borland's roughing the passer penalty.
BIELEMA: I came up to him. I let him have it pretty good. The one thing he said to me; he said: Coach, when I launched, when I left my feet the ball was in his hands. But obviously I think in that situation they're really trying to protect the quarterback. I've been emphasizing that, I'll send in plays. So definitely told him one more of those and he might be sitting next to me for a while.
QUESTION: Would it be easy for players to snap in this week?
BIELEMA: Absolutely. A lot of respect for Michigan State. Obviously a team we've got a great storied history with. And it will be nice to get them here in Camp Randall. Last couple of trips, two at East Lansing and one in Indianapolis. It will be nice to have one at Camp Randall.
QUESTION: What makes Michigan State a good rivalry?
BIELEMA: It's good football. I really respect Mark (Dantonio) and his staff. Obviously defensively they play really, really solid defense. I think there's a lot of we recruit against Michigan State quite a bit. Go after the same type of kids in certain regards. So it's just I think a game of respect. Really a hard fought thing of respect.
The D-line coach there Ted Gill I played for in college. A lot of ties to a staff we have a lot of respect for.
QUESTION: On Derek Watt's improvement.
BIELEMA: He reminds you a lot of the other 34 (Bradie Ewing). It's fun to have Bradie, and Chris Maragos was our guest captain. We had tremendous people around us this weekend. It was fun because I was talking to Brady the last couple of weeks, 'I want you to tell me what you think about No. 34.' That was classic.
Bradie, I think came up with three surprise on sides during his career and Derek's doing that. The great thing about Derek, he's a freshman, nowhere close to as physically as big as he'll get over the next two or three years. I know people are talking about his older brother doing all these great things, but I'm happy with what I've got … I wouldn't mind taking the other brother back either.
Freshman QB Joel StaveOn the rushing performances from Montee Ball and James White:"They continued to play well. The offensive line continues to open holes for them. It just makes my job so much easier." On his own performance:"It could have been better. There are things I'd like to have back, but that's been the case every game. I'm not going to play every play perfectly, as much as I'd like to. But that's what I'm continuing to work for." On how the game is slowing down for him as he gains experience:"I'm continuing to learn how to watch film better, and how to translate what I see on film onto the field." On next week's opponent, Michigan State:"I've seen them on TV a couple of times, and obviously they have a really good defense and are a well-coached team. They got a lot of good guys, so we'll have to prepare well."
Junior LB Ethan ArmstrongOn forcing turnovers:"Obviously we've made an emphasis on it in practice. We've been practicing it and putting a big priority on getting those turnovers." On his first career interception:"It felt good. I was definitely glad I hung on to it. It was an exciting moment; something I've been hoping to get pretty soon, so I'll take it." On maintaining possession of Paul Bunyan's Axe:"It was definitely fun, it's exciting. It's a rivalry, it's something you really treasure. It means you won a game, it's a 'W.' It's a nice tradition and we have a lot of fun with it."
Senior RB Montee BallOn his and James White's performances:"When (White) starts playing really, really well, it kind of sets a fire into me. I told him I better get going, and vice-versa, which is the healthy competition that we have. It betters the offense. The offensive line is clicking, fullbacks and receivers are clicking. It's a great feeling right now." On winning the last Axe game of his college career:"Feels great. It's just the tradition behind it; it's something you want to be a part of. It's an overwhelming experience, and something I'll never forget. I wanted to make sure I was going to run around with my teammates and enjoy the moment." On whether he wants reps under center in the wildcat or 'barge' package:"We started off in practice with me doing that, but I'm not really comfortable back there. I wasn't too good back there. That's James's job right there, so he can get the ball in open space."
Junior WR Jared AbbrederisOn whether he feels he can beat any cornerback in one-on-one coverage:"I like to think that. Sometimes they're going to get the best of me, but I always feel like I can be successful in those one-on-one situations. But you're not going to win all of them, so you just have to know that as a wide receiver. If you lose one, you just have to get back up and win the next one."On his chemistry with QB Joel Stave:"It picked up right away. We've thrown a lot in the summer, and we get a lot of passes in during camp too. We kind of knew each other, and he knew where I would be and I'd know where he'd throw the ball. So it just picked up right away."On keeping Paul Bunyan's Axe, especially as a Wisconsin native:"It means everything. We've wanted this game all week, and we've worked hard. Just like every other week, we just go out there and practice hard so that we can be successful. It sure feels good to go out there and chop down the goalposts, so it's good to have it (the Axe) back again."On whether next week's game against Michigan State has been circled on his calendar:"It's always fun to go play Michigan State. Last year, what happened in our two games against them (were) two really close games. It's the next game on our schedule, so we're ready for that. We'll watch film tomorrow and get ready for the week." On what it means to get Ball and White going at the same time:"It means everything. Keeping them fresh too -- bring one guy in, have him run a couple plays and then bring the next guy in with fresh legs. I think it wears down the defenses a lot. So it's great to see both of them running hard and running really well."On whether he likes the 'barge' formation, which features no receivers:"Whatever gets yards. It would be nice to be out there too, but we get our opportunities when we throw the ball. It's good to see something work though."
Junior RB James WhiteOn combining with Montee Ball for a big day on the ground: "It was a lot of fun. Our offensive line, tight ends and receivers really did a great job of opening up the holes. We were just making our reads and trying to score."On the new 'barge' formation:"It's pretty cool. It's something I did in high school, so it's not something that's too new to me. It's just another way to get me the ball, and I just try to take advantage of it."On whether the offensive line is hitting its stride:"Yeah, we're all just working together as a unit. That's all it takes. We just keep getting better as a whole."On the importance of keeping the Axe:"It's very important. It's the oldest rivalry in college football, and it (the Axe) has been here for nine years now, so for us to keep it here is a great win." On getting Michigan State at home next weekend:"We've played them two years in a row at their house, so it's a different environment. But they're still going to come out ready to play, so we have to come out ready to play too."On the competition between himself and Montee Ball:"We compete every game. We try to outdo each other, and it's a healthy competition trying to get the most yards possible."
Minnesota Head Coach Jerry KillOpening statement:"First of all, congratulations to Wisconsin and they've got the same type of football team that they've had here for a long time. They're a very physical group, well-coached and they've got a good group of kids who can make some plays. We give them some credit and we'll continue to work to move forward and get better. I think there are some areas that we did get better at and then there are some that we slipped a little bit. But that's part of building a program, so we'll move forward."On his decision to start Philip Nelson at QB: "We made the decision and I'm not going to go over all of the scenarios, but there was a lot of discussion made. I think no question, it's a good move for us. In the situation where MarQueis (Gray) has not been able to be durable and is struggling right now, I think putting him on the outside and giving him the chance to heal up a little bit, but still help us make some plays."On Chris Borland's roughing-the-pass penalty: "He's a heck of a football player, I think he was probably just playing hard. I don't think he did that intentionally or anything of that nature. I think when you're a defensive player and you play your tail end off, sometimes you don't ever hear the whistle blow out there. You don't know when to stop. I don't think anybody was intentionally doing stuff. As a quarterback, I guess the encouraging thing is he took some hits and it didn't seem to faze him a lot. We're going to move forward, and I get questioned a lot, and I'm very confident in what we are doing and that it's good for us."On his team's run defense: "I think we have some disappointed players and coaches. To sum it up as far as being on the field and talking to the defense, it's no different. 'Hey, why aren't we getting this shut off?' 'Every time they are running the split reverse they are hitting the seam.' I think the first half we battled in there pretty good and we were in good position at half time. The field goal was critical, I thought that thing was in there but evidently it wasn't. That was a critical, critical situation. Then we came out and got a stop and thought we were going to hang in there. Give them credit, they physically keep coming at you. They did it to Purdue a week ago, they keep coming at you with those good backs and offensive line. Once they start wearing you out, then somebody gets out of gap and somebody gets out of another gap and they are strong enough to put it two gaps over. I think physically, that's who they've been for a long time. You look at their defense and they've got four and five-year guys and we've got a lot of young guys yet. I think they just wore us down at the end of the day. And when you wear people down, a lot of times that's where you make a lot of mistakes."On Wisconsin's wildcat:"When you haven't seen it on film or anything like that and they put five guys on one side and three on the other, that's a good move on their part. We've done that in the past. What it does is you get into that real fast and then you have to get moved over and you're unbalanced and then they've got a man on you and then they crease you. That's good coaching on their part and I credit them. That's part of a week-to-week thing, and I'm sure next week they'll have another little wrinkle to see. You get all of those big guys on one side and you get shifted over there and take care of that side, then they come back on the other side. Well coached, they've got a good team."

twitter you know I love the rain! So, what better thing to do but do my nails. Being on a budget, I can't afford getting a manicure like I used to all the time. Plus being a mom, no time either.
I tried Nailene products for the first time this week. I have to honestly say that their products are so simple to use, and not messy at all. The first thing that caught my attention, was the packaging. I love how everything is easy! Other nail packages I have used, I barely open it and everything goes everywhere. not fun. But Nailene's packaging is so easy to take everything in and out.

It was very good for the price, and met my expectations from the description, reviews, and ratings. I would stay here again if I was still looking for hotels in my price range, but would much rather stay somewhere closer to the center of the city.

The hotel was an exceptional value. Its major handicap was that it was not near a Beijing subway station. This handicap was offset by the fact that its location in a residential section of Beijing gave an opportunity to see Chinese in a residential setting. There was, however, a serious potential hazard in that decorative ashtray stands by the elevators looked like a bowl of rock candy, with small, sharp edged cut glass giving the appearance of being rock candy. The Chinese must not have rock candy in China. ...

None at all...we've been opting to run it in whenever we're close. Tanny is the real deal
It just so happens that everytime we score a TD it's because a runningback took it in on a running play. Most of our TDs are 5 yards or less from the endzone so we're running the ball at that point.

Tribute to Garnant woman killed in crash involving Coleg Sir Gar coach
Posted: January 31, 2013|
TRIBUTES have been paid to a woman from Garnant who was killed when her car was in collision with a 52-seater coach near Ammanford on Tuesday.
She has been named locally as Bethan Davies, a 42 –year-old from Maes y Bedol.
The bus was carrying Coleg Sir Gâr students from the Ammanford campus to Llanelli when the collision occurred at 4.21pm on the A483 between Tycroes and the Pont Abraham roundabout.
Twelve of the student passengers were injured, but not seriously.
The road was closed until 4.15am yesterday morning while an investigation was carried out.
It caused major traffic disruption in the area.
Miss Davies was known to Kevin Madge, Carmarthenshire Council leader and a Garnant councillor, who said her death was a "tragedy" for the community.
"She's from my ward. I'm absolutely devastated, I know the family very well," he said.
"It is a real tragedy, I'm devastated for them and I'm really upset myself. She was a lovely girl and is well known in the community and is from a very respected family in Garnant.
"My thoughts go out to her family and my thoughts go out to all of those injured in the crash."
Mr Madge said he was going to pay the woman's family a visit today.
"I have been on this ward for 30 years now and these are the things that happen and knock you for six," he added.
Dyfed-Powys Police are continuing their investigation into the cause of the fatal collision. A spokeswoman said: "Officers continue to appeal for witnesses and if anyone was in the vicinity of this collision at the appropriate time and has information which could help inquiries, please contact Dyfed-Powys Police on 101."
Mike Williams, principal of Coleg Sir Gar said: "It has been very upsetting for all involved in the college. The college wishes to express its deepest sympathy to the family of the car driver who was killed in the collision.
"From the students' point of view we are very relieved that the students only incurred relatively minor injuries."
He said all the students had been released from hospital but some might return for precautionary checks
All parents were contacted and the college deployed a full range of student services at Ammanford campus for anyone affected by the tragedy.

A recent code commit has revealed an interesting feature in the upcoming Linux kernel 3.7 that will allow it to support multiple ARM platforms out of the box. This brings ARM more in line with x86 builds where multiple processors are supported on a single kernel build.
Previous kernels needed to be built for each ARM platform, but going forward development will move towards a "multiplatform" design where all the various ARM System on a Chip (SoC) processors are supported by a single kernel. The 3.7 kernel specifically brings support for a number of ARM SoCs including Calxeda's Highbank server chips, CoreTile Express SoCs (used in Versatile Express development systems), Altera's SoC FPGA chips that combine a dual core A9 with FPGA circuitry, and Picochip's PicoXcell SoCs (used in femtocells). Version 3.7 will even support the Wii Balance board.
In order for multiplatform support to be possible, developers will have to change where the various ARM platforms store data, such as drivers, to a common location in
include/linux/platform_data as well as no longer using
/mach* headers.
Linux kernel developer Olof Johansson stated that the move to multiplatform will require one big push that will likely cause several merge conflicts. However, once multiplatform support is baked into version 3.7, adding additional ARM SoCs in the future should be much simpler.
Kernel verions 3.7′s additions are just a small taste of the ARM hardware market, but it is a good start. Being able to use one Linux kernel for varied platforms is a good thing, and should help to further Linux on ARM projects. Right now, it seems to primarily be organizations using specialized ARM cores in servers and embedded machines that will reap the benefits, but consumers will also benefit from this shift once additional consumer-focused SoCs are supported. As an example, I expect that multiplatform support will make installing a distribution like Arch Linux ARM easier for newcomers as they will have only a single kernel to contend with, and it may even be possible to skip building the kernel yourself in favor of it being baked in and ready to go, much like x86 distros offer.
Get all the details on the move to multiplatform.

Unless, of course an ARM SoC comes up with a radical yet still compatible new approach just like AMD came up with the Bulldozer microarchitechture. It wasn't a bad design BUT it caught every software developer off-guard and AMD never recovered ever since.
There won't be any performance penalties at all with this, as far as I see. It's simply changing the way to add / edit ARM soc configurations to the kernel. If things go as planned, adding configurations will be less time consuming, giving more time to optimize the configuration, making it faster. I could be very wrong, though.
I see a tradeoff between performance vs compatibility. Nothing new considering that Windows runs on multiple x86 formats (Ie. Intel, AMD and VIA.) Again, nothing new but should make things easier for software developers and that alone is with the slight performance penalty.

|Leak at Deck Hill Water Tank: "Temporarily fixed"
|Thursday, 20 September 2007 10:35
A Boone water leak mentioned in several political ads for Citizens for Change has been addressed, Mayor Loretta Clawson says.
There was a leak, she says- but it's under control.
Divers investigated the Deck Hill tank last week and installed a temporary fix. A more permanent solution is on the agenda.
It was a very small leak that didn't even register, according to Clawson.
According to Citizens for Change Chair Jeff Templeton, his personal measurements found the leak to lose 3 gallons of water a minute. After awhile, that really adds up, he says.Regardless, town officials say the matter has been addressed, and water is no longer leaking from the Deck Hill water tank.

Approaches, Theories & Science
To initiate a process of transfomational change we utilise and integrate a range of approaches, theoretical modalities and research. What we utilise will depend on where you are at.
The work of Clare W Graves, and in recent years his predecessor Dr Don Beck, in the field of Spiral Dynamics has been instrumental in capturing the nature and development of human consciousness. This includes:
- The way we think (not what we think)
- Our value systems
- How we exist in the world.
Research shows that:
- The key to developing new stages of thinking is through personal development, ie being more authentic.
- Changes within the external environment can be made to create life conditions that influence a shift in thinking.
Conflict is a part of the process and it can be highly generative. Fortunately or unfortunately we humans are innately designed to confront the distraction which blocks our perception of natural design. This is leading to the crumbling of hierachical top down systems and the formation of a new perceptual reality of interconnections to collaborate and turn this world around.
HEART MATH- new science on the human heart
Cognitive ability is not the sole nor necessarily most critical determinant of a person's aptitude to flourish in society.
The heart has its own independent nervous system in fact the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. This means emotions exert a powerful influence on cognitive ability.
The age old struggle between intellect and emotion will not be resolved by the mind gaining dominance over emotions but rather by increasing the harmonious balance between the two systems.
The belief that "the brain is a mechanistic complex computer with specific parts" has been dispelled. The brain is "plastic" meaning it can reorganise it's sensory perceptual system.
"Neurons that fire together wire together" (Doige 2007). New experiences lead to new brain maps which provide better functioning.
Social psychology theories such as confirmation bias are introduced, discussed and attended to according to what presents during interview and direct observation.
We tend to disregard information that does not align to our beliefs which limits our decision making ability.
When we develop the skill of mindsight we actually change the physical structure of the brain.
Neuroscience supports the idea that developing the reflective skills of mindsight activates the very circuits that create resilience and well being. This also underlies empathy and compassion.
The triad of reflection equals openess, observation and objectivity. Inviting our thoughts and feelings into awareness allows us to learn from them rather than be driven by them.
"Mind, Brain and relationships are not separate elements of life, they are one interconnected triangle of well being" (Siegel,2010)
Developing organisations to work collaboratively requires the skills to relate/dialogue. Healthy communication and an emotionally safe environment is paramount. If we want to beome a better organisation we require the ability to form and sustain better relationships.
Groups are a complex combination of people and events. Each group member bounces behaviour off of another. Intrapersonal, interpersonal and the group as a whole requires attention. It is important to understand how does a group regulate itself? What are the group rules, norms and goals? Contact boundaries and contact interrruptions both individually and the group as a whole are noticed and if required explored?
We support your growth in developing your organisation by providing the knowledge, skills and tools to become better.

Is premium pricing a solution for the inventory crunch?
Part one of this series discussed the growing inventory management problems publishers face as agencies and clients begin to routinely impose frequency caps on their online campaigns.
For many publishers, a relatively small portion of their audience generates a disproportionately large percentage of page views. So regular frequency capping can mean regular "under-deliveries," one of the worst words that can be uttered in an online publishing operation -- worse, even, than "unsold inventory."
The column generated a tremendous amount of email and a number of excellent observations on the problem and suggestions for solutions.
Today, I'll examine some of those observations and suggestions.
Don't Wait for a Buy-Side Solution
It's unlikely this problem will be solved with a buy-side approach. For years, many large players in the market have had intense discussions about creating a universal reach and frequency tracking and delivery system. Nothing's ever gotten beyond the discussion. All potential systems involved setting unique cookies on all browsers in the market. Each proposal was shot due to privacy, data ownership, or control issues.
Improve the Exposure
Capping the frequency of campaign creative limits the number of times an ad unit may be served, but it does nothing to address the number of times a visitor actually sees the ad. It won't address confirmed exposures, only opportunities for exposure. Though this is a much more fundamental issue than frequency capping, everyone must understand imposing artificial limits on campaign deliveries will prevent a number of consumers from ever actually seeing, or "consuming," the creative and its message.
What can be done? One suggestion is to use more rich media. Just ask Mookie Tenembaum at United Virtualities or Dick Hopple at Unicast. They've been vocal on this for years and can point to double- and triple-digit increases in the effectiveness and actual exposure of campaigns that employ rich media.
Price at a Premium
There's no way around this. The only way publishers can afford to delivery guaranteed reach and frequency in campaigns and still profitably run their businesses is to price these campaigns at a premium. It's no different than in TV. The best shows, with the largest and most predictable audiences, are priced at a premium. Pricing is justified on not just the loyalty the show's content creates but also the low "friction" costs for advertisers to buy a predictable reach and frequency of audience every week.
Personalize the Capping
With the ability to track and delivery campaigns on a per person basis, governed by demographics or behaviors, there's no reason we can't start capping delivery of ad creative on a personal, rather than campaign, basis. Some audiences, such as the highest value target audiences, might justify enormous exposures. Others, the unidentified or undifferentiated audience, might only justify a limited number of deliveries.
Improve Infrastructure and Measurement Standards
Fixed frequency caps are the future, particularly for branding campaigns. To survive in that world, all publishers must better understand their audiences and be able to project, manage, and measure campaign deliveries on a per-person, not just per-section or per-page, basis. This requires much more sophisticated inventory management systems and much better packaging and price strategies. Managing price and inventory will become the key differentiator for publishers profitability, as it is in the airline industry.
Will the Market Tolerate Premium Pricing?
Yes, I'm sure of it. Online marketing is going from a want-to-have to a must-have in most consumer marketing sectors. Search has created a number of online addicts, and the population is growing fast. Unfortunately for search providers, but fortunately for content publishers, search inventory isn't growing. People aren't performing appreciably more searches today than they were last year. Search inventory hasn't grown as fast as advertiser demand for it. The winners are publishers who can deliver advertising that's just as targeted and just as predictable in delivery and response. If marketers have to have it, and it works, they'll pay the price.

Late run lifts Wolves to another win over Bucks, perfect preseason
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Rick Adelman made good on his promise to give the Minnesota Timberwolves' bench a look in Wednesday's 85-84 exhibition win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
But it was the Wolves' starters who stole the late victory at the Bradley Center.
The Wolves trailed by nine late in the fourth quarter before making a game of it in the final minutes, thanks to a Kevin Love 3-pointer, a timely Bucks turnover and Michael Beasley hitting two clutch free throws to take the lead with 9.1 seconds left.
The Wolves ended the game with a 12-0 run. A 19-footer by former Wisconsin Badger Jon Leuer was no good and the Wolves finished the exhibition season with a perfect 2-0 record.
The skinny
This was the second and final game of the truncated preseason schedule and Adelman's last chance to get a look at his players in action before Monday's regular season-opener.
Nikola Pekovic and Wayne Ellington were added into the starting lineup for Darko Milicic and Wes Johnson. They joined regular starters Luke Ridnour, Michael Beasley and Kevin Love.
The known commodities -- Love, Beasley, Ridnour -- still got significant run, each finishing with the three highest minutes totals for the team. Love scored 10 of the Wolves' final 12 points to finish with 22 and 16 rebounds.
But the focus of the game was -- as it should have been -- on the young players.
With point guards Ricky Rubio (ankle) and J.J. Barea (thigh) not even making the trip, Adelman took a long look at Malcolm Lee.
Adelman played Lee 24 minutes -- by far the most of the bench players -- and the rookie from UCLA showed a few flashes in an up-and-down game. He ended with nine points, five assists and four rebounds but also threw away four turnovers.
Veteran Bonzi Wells had his last chance to prove to Adelman -- or any other coach for that matter -- he still belongs in this league. Wells is the only guy on the 16-man roster without a guaranteed contract and the Wolves have to be down to 15 before the regular season begins.
The 12-year NBA veteran didn't exactly put a great game on tape. In 16 minutes, he scored two points on just 1-of-4 shooting, grabbing four rebounds and dishing an assist in the process and will likely be asked to bring his playbook to Adelman's office for a meeting before the holidays.
Top draft pick Derrick Williams played 14 minutes, scored four points on 2-of-4 shooting and grabbed three rebounds. He also gave away the ball three times.
Anthony Randolph didn't do a lot to prove to Adelman he belongs in the rotation, scoring four points in 16 minutes and finishing with three rebounds and turnovers.
Turning point
It was a largely uninspired performance by two teams that were focused more on getting different groups looks than they were gunning for a victory that would mean absolutely nothing.
Much of the fourth quarter was spent trading baskets before the Wolves made their big run.
Health watch
• Rubio missed the game because of a nagging ankle sprain. He rolled his ankle and left the court in last Saturday's preseason win over the Bucks but eventually returned to action. He said he woke up Sunday and felt pain and was held out of practice Monday and Tuesday. He didn't practice but he did go through conditioning with his teammates afterwards with the media watching. Rubio has consistently been the last player out of the gym at practice and that didn't stop because of the injury. He shot 3-pointers from all angles without showing any signs of pain.
• Barea stayed back in Minnesota because of a thigh bruise. He is expected, like Rubio, to return to action on Monday.
Numbers game
• 3: Times the Wolves play the Bucks in two weeks. Wednesday's game was the second half of a home-and-home preseason set with the Bucks and they meet in the regular season on Dec. 27 -- the business end of a back-to-back for the Wolves, who open their regular season the night before.
• 2: Tweets from an excited Rubio during the game, cheering on his team from Minneapolis. He gave Love props for the 3-pointer that cut the deficit to one and celebrated the win after it became official.
• 22: Turnovers for the young Wolves team. Adelman has preached limiting the mistakes and cutting the turnovers, but they gave the Bucks too many extra possessions on Wednesday.
Coming up
The Wolves returned home late Wednesday night to finish up their abbreviated training camp. The team will continue practicing at their facility, gearing up for the regular season-opener on Monday against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Final comments were filed yesterday on the proposed methodology for calculating a value of solar (VOS) rate for utilities in Minnesota (more on the proposed methodology is here). With the Commission required to make a decision within 60 days of January 31, 2014, parties remain in fairly wide disagreement about what is required by statute, particularly what values are truly "known and measurable" and whether the value calculation or proposition applies to the particular utility or more broadly to society. Depending on the interpretation of these factors among others, the estimated VOS rate could vary from half of that suggested by the Department's original $0.135/kWh example to something considerably higher. The rate would eventually apply to Xcel's Community Solar Garden (CSG) Program and potentially as an alternative to net-metering arrangements for projects under 1MW. In a separate proceeding yesterday, the Commission set interim rates for the CSG program that could be even higher with a placeholder SREC value included (more on that in a separate blog).
By statute (216B.164, subd. 10), the VOS tariff must compensate "customers through a bill credit mechanism for the value to the utility, its customers, and society." The statute then provides the following guidance on what must be included in the calculation:
The distributed solar value methodology established by the department must, at a minimum, account for the value of energy and its deliver, generation capacity, transmission capacity, transmission and distribution line losses, and environmental value. The department may, based on known and measurable evidence of the cost or benefit of the solar operation to the utility, incorporate other values into the methodology, including credit for locally manufactured or assembled energy systems, systems installed at high-value locations on the distribution grid or other factors. (emphasis added).
Solar and renewable energy advocates would like to see a value added that compensates generators for helping the utility meet the solar energy standard now in law. The Department and utilities generally argue against this approach because the VOS rate already explicitly includes externalities in its valuation and it is difficult to estimate a price for the compliance portion only - particularly in a market with very little pricing information for SRECs. As for those environmental benefits, utilities would like to limit the valuation to those strictly on its system and argue that the federal Social Cost of Carbon, for example, is untested, contentious and far too broad. For its part, the Department responded to the key comments and virtually every valuation component in its response here.

"We've gotten done with some very large projects and we're trying to take a look at what is next," said Dana Kollewehr, executive director of the city's Main Street Downtown Development Authority.
In 2011, the city wrapped up a multi-million dollar streetscape and infrastructure project on Washington Avenue between Harbor Drive and Third Street. Prior to that, work took place in several municipal parking lots between Franklin and Washington avenues.
With those projects wrapped up, officials are now looking to the future.
"We've talked about resurfacing parking lots in Centertown and downtown," Kollewehr said.
Kollewehr said the downtown lots would likely be the large lot next to Harbourfront Place, at the corner of Washington Avenue and Harbor Drive, and in the second block between Washington and Columbus avenues, near the new Mindset Properties development.
The Centertown project would likely be for a lot near The Bookman, 715 Washington Ave.
Kollewehr said the city has also looked at some "straight infrastructure projects." One of them would be along Harbor Drive, from near Y Drive toward downtown.
"We've also looked at Second Street from Jackson to Columbus," she said. "That was identified from the (city's) Department of Public Works as an area that needed improvement."
The Downtown Development Authority is also looking at areas along the waterfront for improvement work.

Video: Did Tigers' Joe Nathan Do Chin Flick Gesture at Fans?
By Stefanie Pohl. CREATED Aug 14, 2014
Following an 8-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Comerica Park Wednesday night, oft-criticized Detroit Tigers pitcher Joe Nathan was caught on camera doing what appeared to be chin flick gestures at the fans.
The Tigers were up 8-4 in the 9th inning when Nathan took the plate to the sound of boos from the fans, which only got louder when the pitcher walked the first two batters. In the end, Nathan forced a groundout double play that ended the game and kept the win in tact.
As the team celebrated, Nathan was seen doing the gesture on camera. Was he really making a statement to the fans and his critics?

General Board / work during law school« on: July 16, 2004, 08:53:12 PM »
I was just wondering whether or not most law school students work during law school. It seems like a lot of people go to law schools w/ loans and/or scholarships but from the work load it seems as if work is pretty much a no-no, so how do people get that spare cash? As far as I know there are no stipends like grad school...?

One thing to keep in mind though is that since they're only 2 years old, you have virtually no alum network to speak of. I'm also thinking you're limited to the state, maybe that part of the state since my reaction when I got their info was..."FIU has a law school?? Really?"

Also comparisons to Georgetown and Washington and Lee?

Can I just say that re applying via LSAC from each schools individual site, the LSAC actually saves your info so you really won't be entering info repeatedly, the only thing diff is that you'll be linking from each school's website. For me saving the 54 bucks was worth it definitely.

Live small animals available only in Petco stores. Selection varies by store. Check your local store for availability.
Dwarf hamsters have become more and more popular in recent years. These hamsters stay much smaller than a Syrian hamster and are much more active. They are very quick and require handling to tame or slow them down. Although hamsters sleep a good portion of the day, don't let their sleeping fool you; hamsters are active and energetic animals that love an exercise wheel or run-about ball. Like other small animals, hamsters have teeth that grow continuously throughout their life, so they should be provided with chew sticks to prevent the teeth from becoming overgrown. Dwarf hamsters are available in normal and fancy coloration variations.
Available for sale in Petco stores.
Native To: Asia
Adult Size: 3-5"
Care Level: Beginner
Scientific Name: Phodopus campbelli
Most Active During: Dawn & Dusk (crepuscular)
Life Span: 1-2 years
Eats: Hamster food, timothy hay and vegetables.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recognition that resources and functions supplied by nature benefit mankind recently entered the mainstream of social and economic thought and associated policies. Ecosystem services include the provisioning of products like food and water (examples of provisioning services), the regulation of our environment; for example climate through sequestration of carbon by the oceans, terrestrial vegetation and soils or the control of pests and diseases (which are regulating services), the maintenance of the capacity to support productivity, for example healthy soils that support sustainable agricultural production (an example of a supporting service) and cultural and recreational benefits (these are cultural services).
A first attempt to quantify the value of ecosystem services provided by nature (US$ 33 trillion) was made by Constanza (1995). More recently the 2004 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment popularized the concept and a variety of initiatives have been developed since then to sustain this natural wealth, including proper accounting for ecosystem services and policies to restore, strengthen or sustain the delivery of these. In addition Carpenter summarized a research agenda to understanding ecosystem services. Yet, many ecosystem services are under pressure from human activities due to growth at the expense of the benefits provided by nature.
Spatial information plays an increasingly important role to locate, value and price ecosystem services, as the availability of ecosystem services and the possibilities to manage their delivery vary geographically. Remote sensing and associated spatial modeling techniques hold particular potential for efficient accounting over large areas and the development and implementation of policies and interventions aimed at managing, conserving or restoring ecosystem services. Increasingly also, financial incentives, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES), are used to stimulate land and water uses compatible with delivery of ecosystem services, and spatial information is used to support the arrangements between beneficiaries and providers of ecosystem services.
This special issue of Remote Sensing solicits papers that present innovative remote sensing applications and related spatial modeling techniques to support the accounting and mainstreaming of ecosystem services in land and water management and the development and implementation of policies and arrangements aimed at their conservation and sustainable use.

The Napoleon Cat is a new breed of cat that has taken the cat world by storm. What began in 1996 by the founder, Joe Smith, who had an idea on how to produce a "new and improved version" of the Munchkin breed has now seen the Napoleon cat entering the show halls under the "Preliminary New Breed" status.
The Napoleon is a short legged feline that has that striking facial expression that is referred to as "the baby doll face" like that of the old timey Persian cats of yester-year. Yes - I said short-legged - a trait that is commonly seen in the dog-world from Pekingese to Corgis to Terriers but till recently, not seen in the cat-world.
The cute short legs (a natural mutation) were introduced first by the Munchkin breed in the early 80's. Years of genetic studies as well as years of observation has proven that the short-legged felines are ALL cat - and no surprise - the short legs do not hamper mobility nor do they cause any health related concerns. As in the dog world where they are many low-rider breeds - the Napoleons create just a new and unusual look for cat lovers.
The Napoleons are distinct from both of their parent breeds. Whereas the Munchkin cat is also short-legged - the Munchkin cat resembles a domestic cat. Napoleon cat Founder, Joe Smith, wanted a more purposeful look. Also as he looked at the current Persian standard - the Persian Breed Group had evolved into a more extreme-featured breed with the snub noses and the very short face structure. By embracing the old-fashioned Persian face and other Persiany features as well - the Napoleon cat is able to create a specific look - and avoids looking like a "Persian on short legs" or even a "Rounder faced Munchkin." They do have qualities from each group but have a distinct look of their own. We feel it is a winning combination!
The Napoleon cat is a medium sized cat that comes in both longhaired and shorthaired versions. Beyond coat length, the Napoleon can come in every possible color imaginable - likely colors that even you are unaware of such as lilacs, chocolates, minks, smokes, as well as the pointed varieties and more. The gene that creates the short-legs is not a dominant trait which means that the breed produces "standard kittens" (a.k.a. kittens with the short legs) as well as "non-standard kittens" (a.k.a. kittens with a regular leg length). Obviously the non-standard kittens are less expensive but they are highly desired as well for all of those "other traits" that make the Napoleon cat so popular - the beautiful sweet baby doll face, round eyes and face, sweet and outgoing temperament, and the beautiful coat and colors.
For a limited time only - a kitten is being offered for sale....check out the page/tab called Looking For A Kitten?

Troubled U.S. government-backed mortgage giant Fannie Mae on Monday asked for 8.4 billion dollars in additional federal aid to cover its huge losses.
Fannie Mae reported earlier Monday that it lost 13.1 billion dollars in the first quarter, or 2.29 dollars a share. It lost 23. 2 billion dollars in the same period a year ago.
The new aid will bring the total bill for rescuing Fannie and its sister company Freddie Mac to 145 billion dollars. The Obama administration has pledged to provide an unlimited amount of funds to Fannie and Freddie to keep them solvent.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated in January that the direct U.S. aid to Fannie and Freddie might total 389 billion dollars by 2019.

I can't wait 'til October. There's a branch of a chain of Camera stores (Creve Coeur Camera) opening up in the city where I work. About $9 for a 35mm roll of Provia 100F (costs between $6-7+shipping from NYC, which is still cheaper if I order 5 rolls), and a decent selection of Ilford/Kodak B&W too. Sure it's cheaper to order it online but I'll now have the ability to get it locally for not much more $$, and that's really nice.
Add to that I can get the film developed through them for $9.90+tax/roll (as opposed to $6.88+tax at Wal-Mart), which again, isn't a lot more than I am paying now for processing (they will be sending it to their St. Louis store via courier). The camera store in Bloomington wants $14 to develop a roll of E-6, and it's even more expensive in Peoria.

Thousand Oaks doctor convicted of abusing patients likely to seek new trial
A Thousand Oaks doctor who was convicted of sexually assaulting a patient under his care is expected to file a motion for a new trial in May.
Barry Lefkovitch, 58, who has been a doctor for more than 22 years, is appealing his conviction and has hired a new attorney, Steve Powell, to file the legal papers to the appellate court.
In September, jurors found Lefkovitch guilty of misdemeanor sexual exploitation of another patient and felony sexual exploitation of patients. The jury found him not guilty of sexual battery.
On Monday, Ventura County Superior Court Judge Ryan Wright set a readiness hearing for April 29. Wright will hear the motion for a new trial May 1.
If the motion for a new trial is denied, Wright will likely set a sentencing date for Lefkovitch, prosecutor Cynthia Nguyen said.
Nguyen said Lefkovitch faces up to 12 years and eight months in prison if his request for a new trial is denied. He could also get probation.
Lefkovitch, who was in custody, still has his medical license, Nguyen said.
Nguyen said sentencing Lefkovitch has taken such a long time because he hired a new attorney, Powell, who requested the trial transcripts to review.
"It was a long trial," she said.
During closing arguments in Lefkovitch's trial in September, Nguyen said one of the four victims, identified as "H.S.," went to Lefkovitch to be treated for hives in December 2010 when her regular doctor was unavailable. The woman and two other victims were sexually abused by Lefkovitch at his Arroyo Oaks Medical Group office, Nguyen said.
Nguyen said H.S. had a pelvic exam that included unnecessary digital penetration. Nguyen said there was no chaperone in the exam room and that no gown was provided. Lefkovitch never made medical notes about the pelvic exam as required, Nguyen said.
Attorneys representing Lefkovitch questioned the credibility of the women who said they were abused. Attorney Brian Vogel tried to portray H.S. as a woman with health, emotional and personal problems. The attorneys said she had no credibility.

LORAIN, Ohio-- A man crashed his car into a Lorainapartment complex near East 30th Street and Globe Avenue before two standoffs with police Sunday night, investigators say.
The altercation apparently began as an alleged domestic violence situation Sunday night.
The man involved left the apartment after police responded to the domestic incident, a witness said.
The man returned to the apartment later on Sunday night, when the woman was with a friend in another apartment unit at the same complex.
