Eagle i: Lely's Lopez's writes on soccer success
It all began, in Michigan, when I was five years old. I started off playing for a YMCA team called the Honey Bears. I continued playing for that team until I turned eight.
I wanted to challenge myself, so I tried out for the Plymouth Lightning travel team and made it. The trainer of that team, Jeremy Borys, taught me all my ball control and skills. I became a leader of that team, but had to sadly end my journey with them to move to Florida.
As soon as I arrived to the Marco Island/Naples area, I tried out for the Naples Sharks travel team. I made the team and played with them all the way through my junior year at Lely. Even though the Naples Sharks soccer team is an amazing soccer program, the team that has really developed me into the player I am now is the Lely High School team.
Without knowing my teammates, or the type of skill at Lely High School, I was very nervous trying out for the team. I was very pleased when I read the list of players that made the team, and found my name under the varsity title. That season, I was starting varsity and had 16 goals. I earned all-area and all-conference recognitions.
My sophomore year I received the same honors as I scored goals and was a captain of the team. It was during my junior year when I really started enjoying high school soccer. My number of goals continued to increase, and best of all, my dad became coach. I made all-area and all-conference and was a captain, ending the season with 23 goals.
I thought my junior year would be hard to beat, but my senior year was, by far, my favorite soccer season. Not only was my dad coach again, but my little sister Amanda was now on the team. I never wanted this season to end. I almost doubled my number of goals from my junior year, ending with a 40-goal season. I was captain for the last time and very happy to hear the news that I earned the all-state honor.
My hard work got me selected to play for the West team in the Florida All-Star game. I got the opportunity to represent Lely High School among the best players in the state, and even in the country.
Soccer is a huge part of me and I don't want it to end. I am looking at my options for college and hoping I will be able to continue my soccer career. My favorite players are Mia Hamm and David Beckham. My goal when I was younger was to become as great of a player as Mia Hamm, I would go outside and kick a ball against the wall of my house for hours, striving to kick like her.
Soccer has made me the person I am today. My goal since I've been little has been to play soccer in college and I plan to achieve that goal.

Having a diagnostic test or 'panel' that can screen for mutations in multiple genes at once will be important for access to all the new cancer drugs that are coming along.
'It will be very difficult to manage in NHS diagnostic labs without gene panels,' explains Dr Schuh. 'Currently, new cancer drugs tend to get approved alongside a diagnostic test specific to that drug which can determine which patients will benefit. But as more and more drugs like this come along, we can't possibly run all the many different separate tests this could mean. We need one test for a range of drugs.'
Dr Taylor adds: 'We wanted a test that would use the latest DNA sequencing techniques to detect a wide range of mutations in a wide range of genes. A test that would be able to cover more cancers and more treatments, all for a similar cost to conventional methods.'
The test is run on a next generation sequencing platform from Life Technologies Corporation, called the Ion Personal Genome Machine (PGM(TM)). The test and accompanying software have been substantially modified as requested by the Oxford team to fulfil diagnostic standards in their lab.
This work was co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board, the UK's innovation agency, through a grant to the NIHR Oxford BRC, Life Technologies Corporation, AstraZeneca, and Janssen Research & Development, LLC, one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies.
As part of the test development, the Oxford team looked to improve the initial sample preparation in the lab, and to provide the software and infrastructure support to handle and analyse the amount of information involved. Most importantly, the Oxford group has carried out tests and comparisons to verify the robustness of the technique with cancer biopsies direct from patients.
The team compared the new 46 gene test against conventional techniques for 80 consecutive cancer bi

Low turnout for police commissioner election
Posted: November 16, 2012|
ELECTION officials were left tapping their feet yesterday as voters stayed away from polling stations in droves.
Early reports indicated an extremely low turnout in the first Police and Crime Commissioner elections.
Ten candidates were hoping to win the powerful job of controlling Devon and Cornwall Police – one of 41 constabularies in the country which will get an American-style Commissioner.
In Plymouth, one Mannamead polling station – normally a high turnout area – saw only about 80 voters by mid-afternoon.
One resident, Jim Wilson, said: "I voted because I think it's my social responsibility."
Asked whether he thought the new role of Police and Crime Commissioner was a good move, he said: "It's hard to judge at the moment until we see how it pans out and what difference it makes.
"I am not against the idea as such. I think a lot of people are confused about how different this will make it."
Whoever wins today will take office next week.
Brian Blake, the Liberal Democrat candidate, said the turnout at his own Yealmpton polling station had been better than many.
"A lot of people didn't vote, mainly because they haven't had the information to vote on," he said.
The Government refused to pay for election leaflets as it does during a General Election campaign, and voters have had to rely on newspapers and the internet.
"Several people I have spoken to are not on the internet," Mr Blake said.
Independent candidate William Morris said he had been told in parts of West Cornwall the turnout by evening was only four per cent.
"That means the postal votes, which were about 15 per cent, have it," he said.
Ivan Jordan, another of the six independent candidates, said he had seen a late rush of support on social media which made him optimistic of doing well.
The main count for Devon and Cornwall will be at Carn Brea Leisure Centre, near Camborne, starting at 11am today.
Because the election is based on a second-preference system, ballot papers will almost certainly have to be counted twice – unless one candidate wins more than 50 per cent in the in first round.
Cornwall Council, which is running the count, said the result was expected some time around 8pm tonight.

Hurdler, Swimmers head to Olympic Trials
UPDATE: Emily McClellan of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee swimming team swam a lifetime best in the 100m breaststroke and finished sixth overall at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials Wednesday, earning spot on the U.S. national team. Read more …
Over the next week, four members of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee athletics department will compete in hopes to earn a trip to this year's summer Olympics.
Senior Jordan Diel and sophomores Emily McClellan and Becky Yokosh will swim at the United State Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. starting Monday while junior Durell Busby ran in his home country of Trinidad & Tobago on Saturday.
Track Information
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee junior Durell Busby finished second overall with a time of 13.81 seconds in the 110m hurdles at the Sagicor NGC National Open Championships at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad Saturday in pursuit of earning a spot at this year's summer Olympics.
Busby's second-place finish likely keeps his Olympic dream alive for his home nation of Trinidad & Tobago, though he'll need to enter another race and meet the qualifying time in order to secure a berth. Read "Busby's Olympic Dream Still Alive".
Swimming Information
Milwaukee's three swimmers will compete in the massive over a variety of days. Prelims for each event start at 10 a.m., with the fastest 16 advancing to the semifinals. From there, the top eight will swim in the finals where the top two swimmers in each event will punch their tickets to London.
Yokosh will be the first Panther in the pool at the elite meet, competing in the 100m backstroke Tuesday, June 26. She is currently ranked 112th out of 167 in the event. Yokosh will swim again in the 200m backstroke Saturday, June 30th.
McClellan will also swim on Tuesday, as she is ranked 10th in the nation in the 100m breaststroke. The sophomore will compete again Friday, June 29 in the 200m breaststroke where she is currently seeded 40th out of 133.
Diel is seeded 73rd overall in the 100m butterfly and will swim Saturday, June 30.

Q&A: High School Graduation, Diplomas, and Aging Out of Special Education Services for Students with Disabilities
The Minnesota Department of Education Division of Compliance and Assistance has developed this document to address questions raised by parents and school districts regarding high school diplomas for students with disabilities. The purpose of this document is to provide helpful, general information to the public. It does not constitute legal advice nor is it a substitute for consulting with a licensed attorney. The information below should not be relied upon as a comprehensive or definitive response to your specific legal question.
Question 1: Under what conditions may a student with a disability be exited from special education services?
Answer: A student with a disability may only be exited from special education under the following three conditions:
• If, after the completion of a special education evaluation, it is determined that the student is no longer a student with a disability;
• Upon a student's graduation from high school with a regular high school diploma; or
• Upon the student exceeding the maximum age for receiving special education services.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 300.306(a)(1); 34 C.F.R. § 300.102(a)(3)(i); 34 C.F.R. § 300.101(a); and Minn. Stat. § 125A.03
Question 2: Must a school district conduct an evaluation of a student with a disability when that student is ready to graduate from secondary school with a high school diploma?
Answer: No. A school district is not required to conduct an evaluation of a student with a disability when that student is ready to graduate from secondary school with a high school diploma. Rather, graduation with a high school diploma automatically makes the student ineligible for services under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Minnesota law.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 300.305(e)(2); Minn. Stat. § 125A.03(b)
Question 3: How does a school district inform parents that their student with a disability is eligible to graduate from high school?
Answer: If a school district believes that a student with a disability is on track to graduate, based upon meeting state and local graduation requirements, including passing graduation assessments, the school district must send the student's parent prior written notice proposing exiting the student through graduation with a high school diploma.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 300.503(a)(1)
Question 4: Does a parent of a student with a disability have the ability to object to the district's proposed graduation of the student with a high school diploma?
Answer: The parent of a student with a disability may object to the proposed change of placement if the parent does not believe the student has or will meet the necessary state and local requirements for high school graduation by the end of the school year, and/or if the parent does not believe that the student has met his or her IEP goals and objectives, which include transition goals.
For students who struggled academically, the courts and hearing officers have determined that the school district must meet a two-part test in order to exit a student based upon high school graduation. First, the student must have met the state and local requirements for high school graduation. Second, the student's IEP must be reasonably calculated to provide the student with some educational benefit in each of the transition areas, if appropriate.
Authority: Minn. Stat. § 120B.024(a); Minn. Stat. § 120B.30, Subd. 1(c). See 2002 WL 433061 (N.D. Ill.) (Cited Chuhran v. Walled Lake Consol. Sch. 830 F. Supp. 465, 474 (E.D. Mich. 1993), affd. 51 F. 3rd 271 (6th Cir. 1995)). See also Quabbin Regional Sch. Dist., 44 IDELR 56 (SEA Mass. 2005); 54 IDELR 283, (U.S. Dist. Ct. Mass. 2010); Black River Falls Sch. Dist., 40 IDELR 163 (SEA WI 2004)
Question 5: What must a district provide to a student with a disability whose eligibility under Part B of the IDEA terminates upon graduation?
Answer: When a student with a disability graduates from secondary school, the school district must provide that student with a summary of his or her academic achievement and functional performance. This summary must include recommendations on how to assist the student in meeting his or her postsecondary goals.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 300.305(e)(2),(3); 34 C.F.R. § 300.102(a)(3)(iv); Minn. Stat. § 125A.03(b)
Question 6: Does a student's eligibility for special education end with receipt of an alternative degree such as a certificate or a general educational development credential (GED)?
Answer: No. As used in 34 C.F.R. § 300.305(e)(2), the term "regular high school diploma" does not include an alternative degree that is not fully aligned with the state's academic standards, such as a certificate or a general educational development credential (GED).
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 300.102(a)(3)(iv)
Question 7: What is an "IEP-driven diploma?"
Answer: An "IEP-driven diploma" is the colloquial reference used to describe the diploma earned by a student with a disability when the objectives in that student's individualized education program (IEP) are the factors used to determine whether he or she receives a diploma.
The requirement that school districts grant a high school diploma to a student with a disability when these objectives are met is codified in Minnesota law. "Upon completion of secondary school or the equivalent, a pupil with a disability who satisfactorily attains the objectives in the pupil's IEP must be granted a high school diploma that is identical to the diploma granted to a pupil without a disability."
Authority: Minn. Stat. § 125A.04; See Letter to Anonymous, 22 IDELR 456 (OSEP 1994)
Question 8: When is it appropriate for a student with a disability to receive a diploma based on attainment of IEP objectives, and who should make this decision?
Answer: The student's IEP team, including the parent(s), is charged, in part, with determining appropriate placement, accommodations, modifications, services, goals, objectives, transition goals, objectives, and services for that student. In making these determinations, the IEP team also considers whether the student is able to take the examinations required or fulfill all of the requirements necessary for graduation in Minnesota, with or without modification. For some students, the IEP team may decide that attainment of individualized objectives is a more appropriate determining factor, with respect to receipt of a high school diploma, than is attainment of required examinations or other requirements. The IEP team, because of its unique knowledge of and work with the student, is best suited to make this determination. The student's parent must consent to the proposed change of placement prior to exiting the student.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.320; 300.321; 300.324; 300.503; Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 3a; Minn. Stat, § 125A.08(a)(1); Minn. R. 3525.2810, subp. 2-4
Question 9: Does a diploma or transcript earned by a student with a disability differ in appearance than that earned by a student without a disability?
Answer: Minnesota law requires that such a diploma be identical to the diploma granted to a student without a disability. The transcript and diploma of a student with a disability may not contain information disclosing that the student has a disability. A notation that the student's diploma was IEP-driven is considered such a disclosure. Such action is considered different treatment based on disability and is prohibited under federal law.
The transcript of a student with a disability can indicate that the student took classes with a modified or alternate curriculum when the indication, through notation or symbols, does not disclose that the student has a disability and is not used to identify programs for students with disabilities. Such transcript notations must also be consistent with the transcript's purpose of providing information on the student's academic achievements. Note that transcripts must not include notations indicating that a student received accommodations in the general education curriculum.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 104.4(b)(1)(i)-(iv); 28 C.F.R. § 35.130(b)(1)(i)-(iv); 28 C.F.R. § 35.130(b)(1)(i)-(iv); Minn. Stat. § 125A.04; Minn. R. 3525.2810, subp. 2-4; Dear Colleague Letter: Report Cards and Transcripts for Students with Disabilities, U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (October 17, 2008)
Question 10: If a student is enrolled in a nonresident district, either through placement by their resident district to assure appropriate services or through an enrollment option program, which district awards the diploma once graduation criteria has been met and the IEP team recommends graduation?
Answer: If the student is open enrolled, the enrolling district awards the diploma. If the student is attending an area learning center program in the nonresident district, the student can choose to receive the diploma from either the resident district or the district where the area learning center is located. Statutes do not address the award of a diploma where a student is placed by their resident district, but in those cases, while it would be logical for the resident district to award the diploma, alternately the enrolling district could award the diploma. For MARSS reporting purposes, the student is enrolled in the enrolling district; and the enrolling district will report to MDE that the student has graduated. The enrolling district will also code the student as a graduate.
Authority: Minn. Stat. § 124D.03, Subd. 9; Minn. Stat. § 123A.06, Subd. 4
Question 11: In Minnesota, at what age is a student with a disability no longer eligible for services?
Answer: The IDEA requires that a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) be made available to all students with disabilities between the ages of 3 and 21, inclusive. With respect to the application of that requirement to students aged 3, 4, 5, 18, 19, 20, or 21, the IDEA defers to state law. In Minnesota, FAPE is available to all persons under the age of 21. The closely related right to FAPE for students with disabilities is expanded under state law to include students from birth until July 1 after the student with a disability turns 21. The expansion does not extend beyond secondary school or its equivalent except as under the state's graduation incentives program.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. § 300.101(a); 34 C.F.R. § 300.102(a)(1); Minn. Stat. § 120A.20, Subd. 1; Minn. Stat. § 125A.03(b); Minn. Stat. § 124D.68
Question 12: Is a student with a disability, who is still enrolled in high school, eligible for services in the upcoming school year if the student turns 21 during the summer?
Answer: Special instruction and services must be provided from birth until July 1 after the student with a disability becomes 21 years old.
Authority: 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.101(a); 300.102(a)(1); Minn. Stat. § 120A.20, Subd. 1; Minn. Stat. § 125A.03(b)

Hotel Eurostars Zona Rosa Suites Hotel Review: Operated by the European-based company, Eurostars Hotels, this modern establishment caters to business travelers. However, it can also be a good jumping off point for tourists to Mexico City. Inside this ten-story, pink slate building, the hotel's decor is basic, modern, clean, and highly functional. Sixty attractive suites are each equipped with desks and wireless Internet, a living area with couches and television, and a small kitchenette. Suites vary in size, but all are spacious enough to accommodate an extended stay. Rooms on the upper stories of the property have pretty views of the surrounding neighborhood. Service is friendly, and there are plenty of amenities to meet a business person's needs. Guests can take advantage of the roof garden, with city views and a small Jacuzzi, as well as the business center on the ground floor. The hotel's small lobby and restaurant are not this establishment's main attractions. However, with the bustle of the Zona Rosa just outside your door, there is little reason to linger inside the hotel.

Like most parents, you lead a busy life. Your family is your top priority and doing the right thing when it comes to your family's future is important. That includes making sure they are financially prepared should something happen.
Ask yourself…
Have you done everything you can to make sure your family is financially prepared if one of you dies unexpectedly or becomes seriously ill?
Protect your family and your finances with insurance solutions from Sun Life Financial
Consider how life insurance and critical illness insurance can help:
Life insurance
Life insurance helps provide for your family should you pass away unexpectedly. By insuring your children, you can protect their future insurability and provide a solid foundation for their financial future.
- Term life insurance – can be an affordable way for you to protect yourself and is a simple step in your financial strategy. It provides temporary coverage that can be converted to permanent insurance later on.
- Permanent life insurance – provides you with lifetime protection. It's also a great solution for children because the younger they are when you purchase, the lower the cost will be.
Critical illness insurance
Critical illness insurance helps ease the financial impact if you or your children become seriously ill with a covered condition or illness. It can help you manage additional costs and everyday expenses such as:
- additional medical expenses not covered by a medical plan,
- mortgage payments,
- child care and education savings, and
- retirement savings.
Insuring your children means you can take time away from work to help care for them without having to worry about lost income.
It's about helping your family focus on recovery, not finances.
An advisor can help you understand how life insurance and critical illness insurance work together to protect each member of your family. Talk to an advisor today, because your family comes first.

My breasts are leaking a clear fluid at 18 wks. Normal?
I am 18 weeks pregnant with my first child and i woke up this morning with a wet spot on the left side of my shirt. Turns out my breasts are leaking a clear fluid, but only when you put pressure on them like squeezing it or laying on your side. My cousin said she leaked this early but hers was milky. Mom said i should call the doctor but its Sunday and i would really like to know now. Is this normal? Why are my breasts ready to go already? Isnt it too soon?

Totally normal, I'm at 19 weeks and I'm leaking clear fluid from my breasts 2 - 3 times a day. Also, leaked when my hubby and I were being intimate, which surprised him! (and me). When we talked to the doctor they said it's not only normal, but a healthy sign. :)posted 10/08/2010 by jadekitty
It is colostrum and it is perfectly normal. Colostrum is a greasy sometimes yellowish-clear fluid your body produces before your milk comes in (which does not happen until 3-5 days after birth). Many women will leak colostrum during pregnancy thanks to all those pregnancy hormones. It is nothing to worry about.posted 03/21/2010 by sugar&spiceX3
I'm glad I'm not alone! Leaking started for me at around 16 weeks. Now I leak normally in the evening after I've eaten. I wasn't worried but it's kind of annoying because I don't wear a bra to bed so I end up with wet pjs or wet sheets/blanket depending on how I sleep. :/posted 03/14/2013 by Emmahalou
Completely normal, all based on hormones. Even as early as it is, it's not an issue. If you start leaking a lot, consider wearing nursing pads in your bra. Mine seemed to leak more when I was angry or upset. It's all hormonal an nothing to worry about, they may even be a bit sore too.posted 03/22/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm just wondering what is the time frame when the leaking should start. And is it true it can be use to say if ur pregnantposted 02/28/2015 by babyteereid
I am 18 weeks with my first child & while I was sat up doing University work I felt that my breasts were wet. I didn't think much of it until I noticed the wet patches & wondered what they were. Told my mum the next day she said tha I was leaking milk. I didn't know it could happen this early.posted 10/09/2013 by kiran_94

It's Texas, 1980, and hunter Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin) happens across the aftermath of a drug deal gone sour and a suitcase full of cash. Taking it, Moss bids to lie low for a while, fully aware that questions will be asked concerning its whereabouts. What he doesn't count on, however, is the presence of unstoppable hitman Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), who sets off in pursuit of the money in relentless fashion.

What an exciting day! Styleite style star and former Rachel Zoe sidekick Brad Goreski is getting his very own reality show on Bravo — the same network that hosts his old boss' series The Rachel Zoe Project.
Both Bravo and Goreski announced the news today, the former via press release and the latter, of course, via Twitter.
From the press release:
The New York Times called him "The Zelig of Fashion Week" and anyone who knows anything about style knows that Brad Goreski is someone to watch. The quintessential trendsetter, and former Rachel Zoe assistant, is going into business for himself. "It's a Brad Brad World" follows Goreski as he embarks on his new business venture and tries to maintain his personal life. The docu-series gives an all-access pass to an exciting year of career firsts including – Paris fashion week, the Cannes film festival, the men's runway shows and the summer couture shows – and each new experience is sure to be sink or swim. As usual, all eyes are on Mr. Brad Goreski… but this time, he's got everything at stake.
As you might recall, Goreski and Zoe parted ways last September, a split that was, at least according to most sources, fairly amicable. (There was that nasty-ish rumor regarding Goreski's New York Times Style story, but we don't buy it.) Obviously, their split makes a bit more sense in the context of his new show, but we're still loathe to believe there's any animosity. In any case, let's get to the point: will you watch it?

MGH Hotline 02.04.11 SURPRISINGLY, THIS PHOTO was not taken this past week.
Bicentennial corner 02.04.11
SURPRISINGLY, THIS PHOTO was not taken this past week. It is actually the Bulfinch Building after the Blizzard of '78. This weekend marks the 33rd anniversary of the two-day storm that brought 27 inches of snow on the region, along with 70-mph winds and power outages to the city – including the MGH. But just as they have been throughout this stormy winter, MGHers of 1978 prevailed. Employees walked and skied through miles of waist-deep snow to ensure the highest quality of patient care, many staying at the hospital to work through multiple shifts. John E. Lawrence, Esq., then chairman of the Board of Trustees, issued a statement that rings as true today as it did then: "Never has our tradition of providing excellent care been tested by the vagaries of nature any more than during the past week. Typically, our employees rose to the occasion."

Aquino seeks probe on sale of substandard steel products-A A +A
Thursday, March 20, 2014
SENATOR Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV is seeking an investigation into the alleged proliferation of substandard steel products, which he said contributed to the death of hundreds of people in the magnitude 7.2 earthquake in the Visayas last year.
"Hundreds of lives were lost because of substandard and inferior steel products used in houses and other infrastructure," Aquino, chairperson of the Senate committee on trade, commerce and entrepreneurship, said.
"During my visit (in Visayas), I saw two houses just several meters apart. One was completely destroyed and the other was still standing after the earthquake," he noted.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), the October earthquake killed 222 individuals, 209 of which are from the province of Bohol.
Aquino cited a report by the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute (PISI), which visited Bohol and Cebu following the aftermath of the earthquake, stating that there was widespread use of substandard bars and angle bars in the construction of residential houses and public structures, such as, public markets and bridges.
In Resolution 564, Aquino said that instead of posing grave threat to Filipino lives, steel production should significantly contribute to public safety in times of disaster.
"Selling substandard steel is a question of greed and a question of corruption. That's why we need to investigate this before we lose hundreds of life to another earthquake or devastation, God forbid," Aquino said. (Sunnex)

Oops, yeah. 6 Flights. Too much thinking chromatic flights. Except we're not, 'cause Gold / Azure / Orange.
To Forgotten:
Essentially what was/has been happning, is that Sa created a fake Urru puppet to lure TASOE into. This part succeeded, but Agni got too close / pushed the right buttons, and TASOE jumped into Agni's mind before Sa could spring its trap.
So now Agni and TASOE are fighting, with the ultimate goal of displacing TASOE back into the Urru puppet so Sa can (finally) spring its trap and imprison TASOE.
So if Azgo were to appear, he'd see Agni and (apparently) Urru, gripping each other tightly, surrounded by flower petals (Sa) who is doing its bets to orchestrate things internally in a way to prevent TASOE from escaping again. Ideally, this will let Agni get out alive, but imprisoning TASOE is Sa's bigger priority.
That said, if Azgo shows up, I'd be more than willing to throw a Zizu out of Agni and let you fight that.
Do it.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I just arrived, as in just arrived.
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. -Revelation 21:6

That portal traces to the outskirts of the battle. Azgo learned where it was taking place by feeling for a piece of himself out in the world in great distress... specificaly the King's Mark in Sa. I didn't describe anything because I didn't exactly know what was going on. Its post 723 if you're curious.

Ah. See, I had assumed that was the mortal battlefield with Dragonspawn / Balor / etc.
I can work with that. I'll have a post up tomorrow.
Foolish me... I was hoping that I was inferring it without explictly naming it, with all the semi-destiny, old promise to agni stuff. Shoulda been more specific.
Speaking of which... is the dragonspawn battle still going on? Or did you mean Craterspawn?
Hey Toph. How you feeling? PM me if you need to... I'm always around when I can be.
Um... let me post before the Zizu comes flying out of my form to attack Azgo... I have... something that needs to happen there.
As far as I am concerned, the Dragonspawn are currently dormant, but this could be modified The Craterspawn Balor war... that is going on in full.
And I...
I'm doing okay. Shook up about the whole thing, mostly in its unexpectedness. Its hard to adjust to the notion that a week ago I had what seemed to be a happy and healthy cat... and today... there is no more cat because we had to put it down due to a chronic illness of old age... which we never thought to watch out for because we thought our cat was 10 years younger than we had been told (and our vets never thought to check on that until he was dying).
Weirdest part was at work today. I work in a genetics lab, doing, among other things, research involving lab mice. I was having... complicated... emotions when saccing them today, even though the way we do it is very different from the way my cat was put down. I... *really* hope that particular reaction to all of this goes away, and quickly.
Forgotten... you planning on posting for Ka'Vah Paren... or should I just go ahead with that? I have an idea for my next post that requires me to move both battles on simultaneously.
Sorry, was gone for the weekend. If you want to move the P/KV battle along, by all means. I'll be focusing on the Zizu.
Oh my. A revelation.
Is it true?
Is it a lie?
Lets find out!
Holy ****.
Now I know the original twist was that Azgo is no Firstborn, instead created by TASOE to unleash suffering in the world. That there is no First, or that the First did not create the plan as Azgo envisioned... but what if TASOE is the First? And this is the plan, for the gods to be destroyed and the world for mere amusement? That all the structure, the details of the plan, the creation of the gods was all meaningless drivel meant to propel Azgo into dutiful servitude? That the force that drove Azazel and Go'El was the First laying the seeds of his most destructive weapon...?
And the end of the game is Azgo and Sa rebelling against the First, rathering than completeing the plan? Wow... that would be... equal parts existential and nilhistic for an LoC... and think of the impact on Azgo...
Wow. I like where this is going.
I've been toying with the idea for a while... but I wanted to give you the final say as to whether or not TASOE was telling a lie or not. Any possible reaction and response... is absolutely perfect.
But I really like this one, particularly because we never had the evil/good dichotomoy that we thought we were going to get with Thought and Ara.

So how do you grok that TASOE knows Sa's plan? I mean, I'm down with disintegrating False-Urru because he has Agni, now, but I don't think that merits "I have foiled your plans, Flower god".
(Also, there's something to say about the Orihana Knights who were, last we checked in on them, pointing various lances at Agni. But I am okay with "forgetting" about them for this)
Good points. Edited.
Also, take in mind that TASOE may or may not be lying about ALL of these things :D
Topheh wrote:

Yeah, not like he's been lying to Agni for the last few months, or anything.
I don't know... this seems much too good for it to be a lie. Such potential...
I know. I just know that I am treading all over your backstory as well as the backstory of the entire game, and want to put it out there in a BIG disclaimer that I am not (necessarially) changing everything
In my mind its cannon, regardless of others' opinions. Especially since I have just the idea for an ending in mind... something fitting.
Firstly: Toph, I would like for you to plant the final dagger. Reveal to Azgo who made him the way he is. Who betrayed him.
And then: Do we want a "Bad Guy Wins" ending or a Bittersweet ending? I'd prefer the bittersweet to be honest.
EDIT: You feeling better Toph? I know its been about a week, but has anything changed? Is work better?
Wait... who betrayed him, TASOE? I'm going to assume you mean TASOE
As for the ending...
Agni's not dead... yet Once that last sun rises... Well, my plan was always to make Agni the prison that Urru was supposed to be, made of unbreakable God-Diamond to seal TASOE in forever. Agni *would* die in the process, forming his body into a final, unifying Sun that pulsed with the eternal rage of TASOE, releasing it periodically in a season called 'Summer' (we, after all, have a Winter and Spring season, so we should probably round that out with either Summer or Fall, and leave the last one to be the current 'default' season. Azgo would... do something, and the world would be left with A god of promises... which is kinda a cool setting idea, I think.
I'm totally open to other suggestions, though. What were you thinking?
And... yeah, I'm better. Still strange and sad, but... work isn't a problem anymore and things are slowly returning to a semblance of normalcy.
Topheh wrote:

Yep. It wasn't the Firstborn who made him into what he is. It was the First. It would be the ultimate betrayal, the final piece of the puzzle.
Topheh wrote:
Azgo would... do something
Azgo would... do something
Hahaha. Sure... something.
Topheh wrote:

My initial thought process (bittersweet): TASOE reveals betrayal truth, Azgo is nearly destroyed by a fundamental destruction of the very conviction that kept him alive, a scene where Sa and Orihana Knights fight TASOE while Azgo is useless, and EITHER: Sa perishes in the attempt, or Sa posses Azgo with the only idea that can save the day: a new promise, a new hatred and new love not of the First, but of choice and imperfection, either way Azgo then splits into Azazel and Go'El in defience of the First and destroys him.
Possible Alteration: Instead of destorying him, Azazel and Go'El weaken TASOE enough to imprison him in the diamond and create the new sun, but in the process become vestiges of gods, hardly able to interact or shape the world, the societies of the gods crumble, and Azazel and Go'El only very occasionaly intervene in mortal life when great evil is present, often inhabiting the body of a champion or two champions to do thier work before fading back into near non-existence. Summer still happens. Possibly a new season called fall arises from the falling of leaves on trees in mimicry of Sa's petal storm image in its final moments.
(BGW): Azgo bends his knee to TASOE and vows loyalty to the First right or wrong, Azgo then kills Sa and the Orihana knights by recalling the craterspawn hordes and using the King's Mark, Azgo then either destorys himself to free TASOE of Sa's magic imprisonment-diamon-thing or is crushed by TASOE out of pettiness, TASOE is the only one left and goes on to destroy and rebuild the world at his whim, possibly recreating the gods just to reinact the story, possible revealation that this is the hundreth or so time he has done this same thing and will continue to do it.
Topheh wrote:

Good. Or better at least...
Oh dear. The Nihilism of the bad ending is... just...
I think we need Raven's opinion on all of this :D
I said I prefered the bittersweet ending earlier, however... if we are ever going to do an evil ending for an LoC, this is the one to do it with.
What I had been going for was that Sa would imprison TASOE, and leave the universe, taking TASOE with it.
The Orihana knights are there to maintain magic (the only Divine gift that has actually helped mortals, starting with Urru giving arcane magic to help fight the craterspawn) after Sa leaves.
Also speaking of the knights, their lances were never intended to be physical. They don't need to *kill* Agni's diamond body, they just need to dimensional nail him into *a* body so that he can't do that shifty body-jumping thing he likes to do.
I'm a fan of helping Azgo "defy" the first and split, and that was what I was originally offering way back longback when Azgo first received the knowledge of the gift of divine magic. To split into Azael and Go'el -- a Promise of what Might Have Been.
Toph, if you're dead set on being a sun, I'm of no mind to convince you otherwise, and I believe I shall be nailing TASOE into your corpse presently.
We've been building up the ever more colorful pendant around Agni's neck and how it corresponds to the dragons and to the suns in the heavens, and it would be kinda... dissapointing to not have *something* happen with Agni when the last sun hits the World once more. Am I dead set on being a sun? No... but it seemed a logical notion.
The nailing and the sealing and the burning would be... an option.
More tomorrow from me. Had a conference that lasted all day, and I'm completely exausted.
Or we could seal EVERYONE inside Agni's body and have an eternal fight :P
Only... mostly not serious about this one. However, I think its always good in a setting to have one possible 'REALLY BAD THING' that could happen... which in this case would be the release of TASOE back into the world (which is why I'm not sure I like the idea of sending him out of the universe entirely.). What would be interesting if we *all* were trapped or at least forced into non-interference with the world would be that when TASOE breaks free... we all do, and suddenly the 'return of the Gods' happens and all of the random religions that have sprung up around the legends of the Gods and that have been sustained by the Knights suddenly have to deal with the very real and actual presence of their deities on the surface.
An aside: Ara and I once kicked around an idea for a very *different* sort of LoC, where instead of playing a God, you played a God's religion, and had only very limited control over things like molding the land and creating new species, those basically being the result of 'answered prayers' that would require great expenditures of 'prayer energy' while more mundane things like technological spread, civilization contact and inter-religious conflict would be 'normal cost' PP actions. The thing is, the Gods wouldn't even have to exist. I was toying around with a religion of oracles, who was paid in secrets... but all their oracular 'divinely given' knowledge was just a MASSIVE amount of rumor processing and distilling with a good degree of deliberate shoves to move events in the ways they would prefer things to go... and all of the high priests knew it (but the rank and file thought that Avom, God of Prophesy, was real). Anyways, We thought it might be an interesting alternative to our standard games, but it never really got beyond the brainstorming stages. Does this interest either of you? (or anyone else who is still lurking?)
Sounds interesting...
What about initial creation and formation of the world before the civilizations/religions we will be controlling arise? And it would make playing an unworshiped god (Sa, Artun, Urru...) impossible. I also feel part of the fun would be missing since your "influence" decreases by quite a bit. As a god, the player can affect the world in drastic, globaly historic ways (*cough* Invasion, sun-scattering, continent creation, permanent storms *cough*) whereas the player of a civilization would be much more limited.
Still, it would be a nice break from the inter-god conflicts we have currently, and it would make civiliation and mortals front and center (as compared to this one where even the hero of ages is basicaly a footnote).
We tried something similar, once... a small-scale LoC, with modified rules. Here's a link to the forum on the Group with the IC and OOC. It was a slightly different idea, focusing on the development of a city and the important families within it, but this was sort of my idea for the religion one... although the City was on a smaller scale. It would be... a different experience... than a normal LoC, exactly.
I *hope* the rules are still here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bw6RZEDZoupf7TckxmYKqiwpPqS2CsONdeILm6f60SU/edit?hl=en&authkey=CLCIsIkI
Two things:
One --- I don't expect to play another of these games. Twas fun at times, but unless every player signs a contract (preferably in blood!) to guarantee mandatory participation, I can't see myself wanting to get involved. It is as they say: "**** happens", and I sympathize, but it is no fun to wait days or weeks for a response that never comes. It's a combination feedback loop and self-fullfilling prophecy all in one, and I'm not sure if that's just inherent to play-by-post, or what, but if there were some way to do a real-time format, that might reignite my interest (I have a few ideas, but no promises -- no pun intended ;) ).
Two --- for the love of gods, please let's leave WotC. These forums + everything else are not kosher in my book.
Real-time would be fun
And yes. Our days on WotC are numbered.
Before you go, though, Veok... err... Raven, check out the Giant forums where we're probably going to go. They... seem to have a more active player base.
But yeah, blood contracts also work. You know how those work? Let me know.
There. I hope there is but a little bit of redemption in those final moments... just enough.
Azgo is dead.
The birth is nigh.
You know... a haunted pair of opposite divinities, tormented by the devastation they caused but mostly powerless after their rebirth...
Thats kinda an awesome idea.
Should Timmy kill TASOE?

No need for Timmy, I just thought it would be best for that post to be ended with the death of Azgo. The end of Azazel/Go'El? No.
Also, how do you keep reading my posts so darn fast?!

Gold Bennett Cera & Sidener LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against VISX Inc.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold Bennett Cera & Sidener LLP announced today that it had filed a class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of VISX, Inc. ("VISX") (Nasdaq: VISX) common stock during the period between March 1, 1999 and February 22, 2000 (the "Class Period"), Case Number C-00-20240-PVT. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of VISX common stock during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiffs are represented by the San Francisco law firm of Gold Bennett Cera & Sidener LLP. For over 30 years, Gold Bennett Cera & Sidener LLP and its predecessors have successfully engaged in complex commercial litigation, including shareholder, consumer and antitrust class actions, in federal and state courts throughout the United States, recovering hundreds of millions of dollars for its clients. The complaint charges VISX and certain of its officers and directors (Mark B. Logan, Elizabeth Davila, James W. McCollum, David M. Patino, Timothy R. Maier and Kina Lamblin) with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that defendants' false and misleading statements artificially inflated the price of VISX stock to a Class Period high of $103-7/8 from just $30-1/4 per share (split adjusted) at the outset of the Class Period. This upsurge in VISX's stock enabled VISX insiders to sell 1.4 million shares of their VISX stock for $97 million in proceeds. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that defendants issued false and misleading statements about the steady and increasing revenues the installed base of VISX's Excimer Laser systems would provide VISX, the strong procedure and equipment royalties VISX was earning, the limited impact of competition which would lead to consistent revenue growth and allow VISX to maintain its $250 per procedure licensing fee in the United States, and VISX's continued market share domination which would result in 2000 EPS of $1.70-1.80. On December 10, 1999, VISX received an adverse ruling from the International Trade Commission that competitor Nidek had not infringed on VISX's patents, and its stock retreated to the $58-$60 range. This cast doubt on VISX's competitive position and the ability to maintain its prices. However, VISX continued to represent that the $250 per procedure fee was in tact. Then, on January 19, 2000, VISX revealed a drop in 4thQ99 revenues versus the 3rdQ99 and exposed the problems VISX was having growing its business. On these disclosures, VISX's stock fell by 29% in one day to $32-1/4. However, it was not until February 22, 2000, that VISX admitted it would reduce its per procedure fee to $100. This announcement caused its stock price to drop to as low as $16 on huge volume on February 23, 2000. If you are a member of the Class described above, you may, no later than April 25, 2000, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff of the Class, if you so choose. In order to serve as lead plaintiff, however, you must meet certain legal requirements. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this case or your rights or interests, please contact Joseph M. Barton, Esq. of Gold Bennett Cera & Sidener LLP, 595 Market Street, Suite 2300, San Francisco, California 94105, by telephone at 800-778-1822 or 415-777-2230, by facsimile at 415-777-5189 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Plymouth woman praises NHS service for transforming her life
Posted: March 17, 2014|
A WOMAN with a muscle wasting disease has praised an NHS scheme for transforming her life.
Wheelchair-bound Marilyn Smith, from Plymouth, had a tracheostomy as a result of her serious condition and requires daily round the clock care.
Thanks to the NHS Personal Health Budget scheme (PHB), Marilyn was able to choose her own carers and have the care she wants when she needs it most.
Her health improved so much she was able to go on a short break – for the first time in 10 years.
PHBs give people greater freedom to buy services and other items which help them achieve their desired health outcomes and stay independent.
Marilyn said: "My life has changed immensely. It's hard to describe. The stress has moved from my shoulders. I'm no longer a patient, I'm a person.
"I have been able to go on holiday for the first time in 10 years, because I had my own staff who were adequately trained and knew how to help me, so it's helped me immensely."
A PHB is an amount of money allocated to support a person's identified health and wellbeing needs, which is planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team.
Marilyn said: "Before, I didn't have any real life, so I looked up on the internet and happened to come across the personal care plan budget."
Personal health budgets enable people with long term conditions and disabilities to have greater choice, flexibility and control over the health care and support they receive.
People who are already receiving NHS Continuing Care will have a right to ask for a PHB from April 2014, when clinical commissioning groups such as Northern, Eastern and Western Devon CCG will be able to offer personal health budgets to people they feel may benefit from the additional flexibility and control.
For Marilyn having a PHB has transformed her life and that of her brother Kevin for the better.
She said: "Being able to pick my own carers is one of the main things which I'm really pleased about because not everyone wants someone they don't like in their own house.
Her brother Kevin, who was her main carer before the PHB scheme was implemented, added: "Life has changed a lot since we've had the personal budget."
Carol Green, a complex care commissioning manager with NEW Devon CCG, first met Marilyn in 2009. She has been able to help her with her PHB and helped Marilyn put in place the best package of care for her.
She said: "Marilyn's health is good and the PHB has helped improve her health and continues to work very well for her."

Archive for the 'Long Island Racing Museum' tag
An open house, literally, full of goodies
Regular readers of Hemmings Motor News will recall us introducing in the January 2009 issue the remarkable Long Island Racing Museum that former driver and raconteur extraordinaire Marty Himes runs out of his little Cape Cod house in Bay Shore, Suffolk County. Marty hosts an annual open house and gathering of racing figures from the past, which this year, will be on Sunday, August 28, from 10 a.m. until dusk.
The location is 15 O'Neill Avenue. Like most things Marty does, it's out of love, so there's no admission or other costs. For info, call Marty at 631-666-4219.
A tidal wave of Long Island memories
It basically occupies a single house, so when Marty Himes opens up his Long Island Racing Museum to the public for its annual open house, that's really saying something. If you plan to be on Long Island, Marty says come on-a over a my house on Sunday, August 29th, from 10 a.m. to dusk, rain or shine.
The Long Island Racing Museum is located at 15 O'Neill Avenue in Bay Shore. Among the displays at the incredibly compressed collection will be the restored number 447 Sportsman that Jim Lacy raced at Freeport Stadium in 1959 and 1960. For information, call 631-666-4912.

Shoutout to John Holliday - great extension of the idea to make tabbed navigation work in-view, instead of using a separate view for each tab. Great walkthrough here:
Another clever way to organize a view with lots of content is to use an approach similar to HTML in-page anchors with a table of contents on top; Tim Pash describes it in detail in this article:
I've got a similar implementation to John Holliday's example above, but instead of a single field under each tab I've got a section control... the entire section control shows or hides itself based on rules bound to the tab-buttons. (IP2007)
That's cool as it allows me to have distinct content and multiple controls under each tab... but I've run across an annoying "feature".
If you put content (simple text, images, etc) in the section, it's fine, looks and works great.
If you put simple input controls in the section (a text box, date picker, etc), also fine.
If you nest a simple section control in the section... also fine.
HOWEVER, if you nest a repeating section, repeating table, or optional section... you get some weird mouseover behavior on the entire "parent" section... anytime you mouse anywhere over the parent, it gets blessed with a dotted outer border.
If you click anywhere in the parent section, it will be highlighted in the system highlight color.
If you right-click anywhere in the parent section, you get 2 surprises... you can "copy", which grabs all the static txt content to the clipboard... or you can INSERT a new instance of your optional/repeating control! Even if you're not clicking anywhere near the boundaries of the optional/repeating child control, you still get the option to add it via the contextual menu.
This only happens when placing an optional/repeating control inside a section. It's important to note this doesn't have anything to do with the use of tabs ro no tabs, but the nesting of repeating/optional controls in a section. Haven't found a workaround for it yet... rather annoying when using a form. =/
is this tab function browser-enabled?
Hi peterxwang,
Yes - this design will work in the browser as well. Just keep in mind, this is "simulating" a tab control using buttons. So each click of a "tab" (button) will cause a server postback to occur - in other words, a trip to the server.
Not that this is a concern - I just wanted you to be aware.
Small question... Has anyone else had the same problem already?
When I draw the table and remove the border underneath the selected tab, then switch to another view and then switch back again, Infopath has redrawn the entire border again... And whatever I do, I can't get the border to not to reappear again.
It does work for the first tab though, it only doesn't for the "in between" ones....
Any ideas would be great! Thanks in advance!
I am also having this problem and haven't been able to find a reason or a solution for it.
However, I have developed a work around that is working for me in most of the multi-viewed forms I write.
If your "active" tab and the main window content cell are the same color, then you can set the bottom border of the "active" tab to that color (the background color).
When you look at your views in infopath, the entire top border of the content cell will now appear removed, but if you do a preview, then it should show up correctly as only removed under the "active" tab.
Hope this helps.
Perfect - even understood by a beginner like me. I used images previously but they loaded slowly. This was much easier to do and maintain. This post was doubly useful as M Lanpier had a good suggestion on fixing the reappearing border problem
Can you expound on how you "add some images inside a few more table cells around each button to provide rounded corners". I want the tabs to be rounded but I don't know how.

Uranium mine north of Grand Canyon to stay open
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A mining company's plan to stockpile uranium ore at a
mine north of the Grand Canyon has raised concern among environmentalists over
radioactive dust being swept across the landscape.
But Energy Fuels Resources Inc. said Thursday that there's no need to worry
because a state permit requires that dust be monitored and controlled, no homes
are nearby, and the dust isn't highly radioactive.
The company planned to place the Pinenut Mine on standby in July because of
decreasing prices for uranium. Company spokesman Curtis Moore said Thursday that
it makes more sense economically to keep the 30 to 40 workers onboard and
extract all the ore possible from the site through the first quarter of 2015,
avoiding shut-down and startup costs.
The ore will be stockpiled on a pad that stretches across 2 acres onsite
because of an earlier decision to at least temporarily shut down production
later this year at the company's White Mesa Mill in Blanding, Utah. Moore said
officials are expecting to store the ore on a portion of the pad until prices
for uranium rebound.
"No matter how long that ore is out there, we have to maintain the site. We
have to monitor it," he said. "It will be heavily regulated."
The mine operates under a permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Agency spokeswoman Deborah Stevens said officials are reviewing the operating
plan to see if the stockpiling of uranium ore at the site, about 35 miles south
of Fredonia near the Arizona-Utah border, falls within the scope of that plan.
Less than a handful of uranium mines have been operating in northern Arizona
recently. The mines owned by Energy Fuels lie in a nearly 1 million-acre area
around the Grand Canyon but outside the national park boundaries that was placed
off-limits to new mining claims in January 2012. Companies with existing claims
that were proven to have sufficient quantity and quality of mineral resources
could be developed under a decision by the U.S. Interior Department.
The Pinenut Mine was partially developed in the late 1980s, but it sat idle
until mid-2013. Energy Fuels expects to extract 250,000 pounds of uranium from
the mine between August and the time the mine closes next year, for a combined
600,000 pounds, Moore said.
Spraying water on the landscape has proven to be an effective dust-control
measure, he said. Other options include applying magnesium chloride to the
stockpile or covering it.
Roger Clark of the environmental group the Grand Canyon Trust said the
uncertainty over how long the uranium ore could sit at the site is unsettling.
Any water sprayed on the pile or rain that falls on it is diverted to a fenced,
uncovered catchment pond that small animals and birds can drink from before it
evaporates, he said.
"This could be another indefinite situation, just like the mines, where the
price of uranium doesn't come up," Clark said. "Then, once again, there is an
increased risk of harm to public resources in terms of radioactive dust."
Energy Fuels has three aquifer-protection permits for the Pinenut mine from the
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for a non-storm water pond, a
temporary waste rock stockpile and the ore stockpile. Department spokesman Mark
Shaffer said the company is required to keep any engineered feature in good
working condition.
While the department hasn't discussed Energy Fuels' latest announcement with
the company, Shaffer said: "We are comfortable that the application materials
provided originally for the stockpile demonstrate that they can comply with the
existing design and operational requirements."

I've been vegetarian for two years now, and was the best decision I have ever accomplished. To all the people who didn't believe in me that I could accomplish this, thank you, for giving me an even more push to free animals one step at a time.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
18, Vegan, living in Southern California. I love The Summer Set and Memphis May Fire.
I was born in Indiana, lived in the Dominican Republic for a year, moved to North Carolina, and now live in Tennessee. I speak both English and Spanish. I'm 19 years old, and a happily married wife and stepmom. I have 8 kitties, 2 dogs, and a little turtle. I'm a hardcore Luke Bryan fan! I've been a vegetarian for 7 years, and I am going to raise my children vegetarian.
