text: Jetting to Europe to hit the catwalk for major labels like Chanel and Valentino isn\u0027t exactly a day in the life of a typical teenager. Then again, seventeen-year-old Margaret Qualley isnt your average high school senior. With a mom — model and actress Andie MacDowell — who has graced her fair share of magazine covers and currently stars in the popular ABC Family TV show Jane by Design, Margaret practically has fashion in her DNA.\u000A\u000A But despite her industry pedigree, Margaret says her childhood was relatively red-carpet-free: \u0022Growing up in North Carolina, my mom was always just sort of my mom to me. I never really recognized her as a famous actress.\u0022 Not that having a style-icon mother doesn\u0027t have its perks. \u0022I\u0027m always thrilled when she\u0027s cleaning out her closet. Last time, I got a pair of boots that she bought in Paris 20 years ago. I have completely worn them out,\u0022 Margaret says. \u0022She also recently had a pair of earrings with pretty stones in them that were too heavy, so she turned them into necklaces for me and my sister, which I really love.\u0022\u000A\u000A It doesn\u0027t hurt to have an older sibling with a lustworthy wardrobe either. \u0022We share clothes a lot,\u0022 Margaret explains of her 23-year-old sister, Rainey, an actress who lives in Los Angeles and recently starred alongside their mom in the movie Mighty Fine. \u0022But she\u0027s a little girlier than I am. I like a bohemian floral dress, but then I\u0027ll throw on a leather jacket or a pair of lace-up boots to give it an edge,\u0022 she says. \u0022My mom is always trying to get me to wear really sweet clothes. Something pink. But that\u0027s not really my look.\u0022\u000A\u000A Though she\u0027s gotten to wear coveted runway pieces, Margaret\u0027s day-to-day tastes tend toward the low-key. \u0022I\u0027m pretty casual,\u0022 she says. \u0022I love Free People and small vintage boutiques.\u0022 Her most recent purchase? A second ear piercing. \u0022I don\u0027t even like getting my finger pricked at the doctor\u0027s office, so it was pretty painful at first, but it\u0027s not bad now,\u0022 she says, laughing.\u000A\u000A She is also not above a little scavenging. \u0022This season, I went to Paris with my sister to see the Dior show, and in our downtime, we wandered around a flea market near the Eiffel Tower. It\u0027s cool to see cities as more than just a tourist would,\u0022 she says. \u0022I didn\u0027t have a smartphone there, so I would just use my map and wander through different areas. There are so many little streets to explore!\u0022\u000A\u000A When it comes to traveling off the beaten path, Margaret is a natural. During Paris Fashion Week, the recent New York City transplant toted around a backpack full of schoolbooks to her appointments to complete homework between casting calls, and she is already planning her next step. \u0022Next year, I want to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting,\u0022 she says. \u0022I have been taking a class in New York and am attending an intensive program to further my studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London this summer.\u0022 So does this mean we can expect to see her follow her mom to the big screen? \u0022Right now I\u0027m open to a lot of different projects, but eventually I\u0027d love to pursue film,\u0022 says Margaret. Like mother, like daughter.

Heat and Control, Inc: Space-saving combination metal detector/checkweigher
Combination CEIA metal detector and Ishida checkweigher systems from Heat and Control reduce floor space and provide superior product safety and weight verification accuracy.
Ishida DACS checkweighers provide consistently accurate verification of weight or product count at high speeds. Ishida's unique anti-floor-vibration system and digital signal processing produces stable and precise weighing. Easy-to-use touchscreen controls provide presets for operating parameters of up to 100 products for quick, simple changeovers. The open and accessible design of the checkweigher's highly-polished stainless steel framework reduces the cost and time required for sanitation. Product conveyors and belts can be quickly replaced without using tools. Ishida checkweighers also utilize flash memory for convenient off-line reporting and management of production data. Ishida offers checkweighers in IP66 washdown construction, models for up to 600 packages/minute, multi-lane units with up to six independent inspection lanes, and economical entry-level models.
CEIA THS 21 metal detectors provide consistently accurate FDA Title 21 compliant inspection for all types of food. Patent-pending CEIA detection technology delivers the highest sensitivity to all magnetic and non-magnetic metals. CEIA's simple Auto-Learn system selects and displays the optimal sensitivity setting to eliminate set-up guesswork and inspection errors. During operation, the detector continuously tests and recalibrates itself to maintain the highest detection stability and performance. Data for every detection and ejection action are saved for inspection, programming and functional testing, and to certify production quality. Combined with memory for over 500 products, this provides fast, error-free changeovers. Bluetooth connectivity facilitates programming and data collection. Ethernet connection is also available. CEIA THS 21 detectors are IP69K rated for high pressure, high temperature wash down.

Kindness Even In New York City
Submitted by Kevin James Shay from Washington, D.C., area
New York City is not exactly the first city that comes to mind when one thinks of kindness. But one incident in particular surprised me on a visit last week, when I met with publishers about my latest book, Walking through the Wall. I had to park my vehicle that had Maryland license plates on the streets of New York near Times Square overnight.
To my chagrin, someone apparently upchucked on the driver's side window. Needless to say, the vehicle was a mess. I couldn't find anyplace to clean the car as I drove to an appointment. Following that meeting, I reappeared at my parked vehicle to observe two teen-agers viewing it.
"Where are you from?" one asked as I walked up.
I was suspicious, thinking they might be pulling some kind of scam. I responded quickly,
"The Washington, D.C., area."
"Oh yeah? I was born there," said the youth.
He then asked me what I was doing in New York and other questions. He seemed sincere so I kept answering his questions. At one point, one pointed to the window.
"That's really gross!" he said. "I can't believe someone would do that. Wait here."
He returned a few minutes later with some cleaning supplies, and the pair proceeded to wipe off the window as best they could. I kept expecting them to ask for money, but that request never came. Finally, they sensed I needed to leave. They both shook my hand.
"I didn't want you to get the wrong impression about New York," one said. I didn't, thanks to the kindness of these teens, who made the sometimes mean streets of New York a little brighter.Read The Next Story >

The Dogtown skate team was known for having the world's most stylish and innovative skaters in the late 1970s. In extreme sports circles, Dogtown skaters like Tony Alva, Jay Adams and "Polar Bear" Agnew are revered to this day. Similarly, stylish and innovative are what The House of Marley strives to achieve today when designing our in-ear headphones, on-ear headphones and over-ear headphones. That's why we are proud sponsors of the upcoming Polar Bear Pool Jam at one of America's best skate parks, the Dennis "Polar Bear" Agnew Memorial Skate Park in Venice, California.
Located in Venice and considered one of the country's best skate parks, it was dedicated to Agnew when it opened in 2009. Mostly known for his innovative style on concrete, Agnew's skating influenced ramp builders of the modern era to create a park that replicated both the backyard pools of his youth and the waves of the ocean. In addition to having one of the best skate parks dedicated to him, the third annual Polar Bear Pool Jam is a yearly competition that was set up to honor Dennis Agnew after his untimely passing in 2005.
On June 24, Marley headphones will be out in full force at Venice's best skate park for the Polar Bear Pool Jam. With our in-ear headphones and on-ear headphones in tow, we will be having some fun in the sun remembering a great skater.
Bonus: Check out this footage of legendary pro skater Christian Hosoi ripping up the bowl at the Venice "Dennis Polar Bear" Agnew Memorial Skatepark. Maybe slap on a pair of Marley headphones, watch the clip and imagine your own line in the concrete pool. Any amateur skateboarder that can skate pools is invited to register for the event. This is your chance to hit one of the country's best skate parks in honor of a true legend.

"It's a little idea, but it's making a big difference for the safety our patients," said Mandy Clinch, coordinator of the Joint Replacement Program at PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center. For the past eight months PeaceHealth St. John has used an innovative new method to treat the incisions made during joint replacement surgery. National studies show that 1.3% of patients report a complication following their surgery, most commonly due to infection at the site of the incision."At some point in our lives, we've all had a wound that needed to heal properly," said Clinch. For generations we've used the same process - disinfect the wound, apply a sterile bandage or gauze, then secure it with tape or a wrap. That's fine for the first day, but soon enough the bandage will need to be changed. Patients who have been discharged from the hospital and are recovering at home aren't experts at changing these dressings, and it increases their risk of infection. It's a problem across the country."PeaceHealth St. John's surgical team has embraced a post-surgery wound care program that has made a big impact on reducing infection rates. It's a new program, but an old idea."Hundreds of years before the discovery of microbes or the invention of antibiotics, people used silver to protect wounds from infection," said William Turner, MD, Medical Director for the PeaceHealth Joint Replacement program. "Pioneers of the American West found that if they placed silver coins in their casks of drinking water, it kept the water safe from bacteria. We're just bringing this 19th century idea into the 21st century."After a joint replacement surgery, the surgical team closes the incision and covers it with an adhesive strip embedded with silver. Laboratory testing has shown that the silver reduces bacterial growth like staph, aureaus, e.coli, e.hirae and pseudomonas aeruginosa (a powerful germ that does not respond to many antibacterials."After the silver strip is applied, we secure it with a new type of bandage," said Turner. "Instead of the Ace bandage that we're all familiar with, we are now using a honeycombed adhesive bandage. The honeycomb allows air to circulate, helping the healing process. It's water resistant, so the patient can wear it in the shower. It doesn't need to be changed like a traditional bandage, so the patient's risk of infection is greatly reduced.""Since we started using the process, our post-surgical infection rates have dropped noticeably," said Clinch. "Our patient safety rates are significantly better than the national average. We're one of the very first hospitals in the state of Washington to use this process, but I'm sure others will follow suit when they learn about our great results!"

Issue is not about conviction but the harrassment the employee suffers when he/she wants to join the new employer.
Nobody will get convicted, according to my knowledge Indian Constitution doesn't permit one sided labour bonds.
If he wants to resign,he need to give some xyz amount only after which employer will give experience letter and will hand over his certificates.
Once started working on project,management expects employee to remain in project till end as company has given them time to upgrade during idle time.
Well, i am not able to understand who is getting harrassed here? The person who has broken the bond, and is now drawing bigger salary, or the management who cannot do except say bad words about the employee.
Can you go to jail in India for violating a proper (two sided) labor bond?
Yes.I think so.
If he wants to resign,he need to give some xyz amount only after which employer will give experience letter and will hand over his certificates.
Can't you just ask your schools for another copy of your certificates? In the US, you can't get duplicate diplomas but you can get certificates and official transcripts that say the same thing.
Does anyone know of a case where this happened to someone or is it just an idle threat from desperate employers?
Well, it [jailing] has happened in India, but ironically in all the instances i know, the employer was Govt itself, Indian Army to be more precise. They are really very strict in following rules, and drags anybody who violates the bond, and of course their bonds are legal.
I think that the best way to fight the bonds is to inform their premier customers the so called Fortune 500 companies, which if they come to know, they may pressurize companies like Patni to stop the exploitation of employees.
A clause requiring employees to stay on for a set period of time (usually 1-2 years depending on the cost of that training) after receiving company-paid training is normal all over the world I'd say.
The Fortune 500 companies who buy products made with prison labor are not going to care about bonds, except to wish they could get away with it in the US. They only care about bad publicity, and exploited Indian programmers will not arouse much sympathy in the US media.
Friends, I am not against outsourcing but I am against outsourcing to companies like Patni which exploit the IT workers and results in loss of both US and Indian IT professionals and results only in benefits to CEOs of outsourced and outsourcing companies.
Originally posted by Prakash Dwivedi: Don't mind Pankaj / Dheeraj (whatever your name is), but this sounds like joke to me. When the US companies don't bother about US IT workers loosing their jobs due to outsourcing, how can you expect that they will think about you.
They ensure that NASSCOM memebers can't take employees from another member organization without a resignation letter.
Can Indians form a union?
Can Indians form a union? No, we are still living in stone age.
Since India invented the non-violent protest, perhaps Indian IT workers can win the same rights without violence.
Even if law is made,attraction of going abroad and earning money(which is not wrong anyway)will not fade away.and people will sign these kind of agreements/bonds.

Katherine Heigl may have voiced a desire to return to Grey's Anatomy, but it isn't happening anytime soon, according to Ellen Pompeo.
The Knocked Up actress bowed out of the series for good in 2010 after a series of rumours about on-set fall-outs.
She has since enjoyed a lukewarm film career, with her new film 'One For The Money' out in UK cinemas now. It debuted at No. 10 in the box office charts in its opening weekend.
She told E! last month: "I've told them I want to [return, but] I don't know if it fits into their sort of vision for this season or next or however many seasons it goes."
Speaking on Chelsea Lately, Pompeo - who plays the titular character in the series - shook her head when asked about the potential comeback, and said: "I don't think so."
She added definitively: "No. I don't think that's happening."

Toshiba NB205 netbook reaches US shelves
updated 03:20 pm EDT, Tue June 23, 2009
Toshiba NB205 Ships to US
Toshiba today quietly started offering its NB205 netbook within the US. First shown in American trim at the start of the month and already on sale in Canada, the netbook is slimmer than before but lasts much longer on battery, running up to 9 hours. A slightly faster 1.66GHz Atom N280 also sets it apart.
As promised, the system comes in a basic $350 N210 model with a conventional, scalloped keyboard design, no Bluetooth and a black-only finish. At $400, the N310 comes in blue, brown, pink and white while adding Bluetooth and a potentially more comfortable "chiclet" keyboard design. Both are available immediately online and should also be in retail shops. [via Laptoping]

I've used an invisible mending cloth on badly damaged Graflex bellows. This cloth is designed to repair suits etc and goes inside despite its name it comes in a variety of colours, the black version was light tight, and is very thin with a strong self adhesive on the one side. I used it inside and outside and it had no impact on the way the bellows fold and compress and it's very difficult to see where the repairs have been made.
The type I used is no longer made, the company in Holland ceased trading but there are others on the market.

A head on collision between a tractor-trailer rig and a mini-van claimed the life of a Covington County woman.
State Troopers identify the victim as 61-year-old Polly Ann Peterson of Opp.
The wreck happened about 8 a.m. this morning on Highway 84 in the town of Sanford between Opp and Andalusia.
Troopers say an 18-wheeler driven by Raymond Turner Junior of Andalusia apparently switched lanes to avoid another vehicle and slammed into an on coming mini van.
Ms. Peterson was the only occupant of the van.
Turner was not injured. No charges have been filed and the investigation is continuing.

Des Voigne Cellars has built a reputation for being a fun place to taste good wine. Located in the Woodinville Warehouse District, we are a small family owned winery. Since 2004 we have specialized in crafting fun, vibrant wines using both traditional and unique varietals and blends. We believe that wine is music in a bottle, best enjoyed with friends it can turn the ordinary into the sublime.
Darren Des Voigne
Darren and Melissa Des Voigne started Des Voigne Cellars in 2004, a few years after a long honeymoon that took them all over Italy. After spending weeks eating and drinking their way through the country, and having spent one week at a winery in Castellina in Chianti (just as the historic 1997 Chiantis were being released) they decided to abandon their half-formed plan of opening a wine shop and take their garage wine making hobby to the next level.
With the help of UC Davis seminars and Darren's brother, Derek (owner/winemaker of Cuillin Hills Winery) Darren honed his wine making style to become one of the two best Des Voigne brothers currently producing wine in Woodinville.
Darren is also an avid collector of vintage jazz records and admirer of Deco poster art, interests which inspired the look and names of all of Des Voigne Cellars' wines.

So--The Democrats are in favor of it as long as the numbers are too low to cover the actual number of workers?
Sounds like window dressing to me. The unions will never support increasing those numbers and so as the foreign labor is shut out due to increased identification, the union members will reap the benefits. Too clever by half.........
The derelicts under sixty-five, scamming Social Security; should be the ones toiling in the fields. If they don't enjoy the work, they'll find other employment.
When business and labor has already agreed on numer of workers and their benefits as per senate bill, house gop is trying their best to induce poison pills which wont go thru senate.
We will let as may of those little brown b@st@rds in as our big grower supporters want, and we will let them live in hovels and be paid $3.00 per hour. But vote? Hell NO!
Put all of the able bodied people on welfare, especially those from the inner city to work in the farm fields. But wait i have to first start a new "war" like the war on women, war on seniors, war on voters, war on the rich. I'll call this war the "war on soybeans".

If you want flowers, he will give you a garden. If you like reading books, he will gift you the first edition of your favorite book. He will even buy you the safest car in the world. and when you ask him why, he'll just smirk at you and say, "Because I can"
He has a very dark side but he's willing to change and improve all of that just so you won't leave him. He's open for change and he will leave anything that's holding him back because you are his priority and he can't afford to lose you.
He'll be mad at you when you don't eat.
Should I say more?
Because he can.
and because he loves you so much that sometimes being on a dating relationship is not enough anymore. He wants more. Don't worry, he's prepared to give you that wedding which you dreamed of anyway.
Because he can.

BYU tennis team to play at No. 9 Stanford
Published February 8, 2012 3:50 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The 52nd-ranked men's tennis team travels to No. 9 Stanford for a 12:30 p.m. meet at the Taube Family Tennis Stadium.
"Stanford is a storied tennis program," said BYU coach Brad Pearce. "I think we can compete against them. We're excited to compete there. Our goal every match is to win."
The Cougars are 3-4 on the season after back-to-back wins against Idaho State and Montana State. The Cardinal, 5-2, is coming off a 6-1 victory over Hawaii Tuesday. Stanford fell to then No. 9 UCLA 6-1 last week. BYU dropped its match to UCLA Jan. 20 by the same score.
Georgy Batrakov is the Cougars' top singles player and teams with sophomore Patrick Kawka in doubles. The Cardinals are led by Ryan Thacher and Matt Kandath.

my doubt is both wait and notify are issued on the same class (to be more accurate this.wait() and this.notify()). will it work in this scenario?
So yes, (besides a race condition), it should work, since both threads are using the same instance.

2008: What a year in sports it was
December 29, 2008
By Jim Feehan
The year 2008 was a memorable 12 months for the city's sports scene. Many of the top events revolved around state titles (three team and one individual). And the journey to the top often earned some recognition, even if the ultimate goal fell short.
The highs of the year in sports contained astounding tales of achievement (participation in Olympic swim trials and even a Cy Young winner). Unfortunately, even the sports pages were not immune to tragic lows, as the community lost a beloved former coach.
So, here are the Top 10 sports stories of 2008, in no particular order:
Football: Skyline beats Issaquah in final
What else can be said about Skyline High School football?
The Spartans finished ranked fifth in the nation, according to the USA Today Super 25.
The team ended the season with a perfect 14-0 record, its second undefeated season in as many years, after beating district rival Issaquah 20-15 in the Class 4A state final game at the Tacoma Dome Dec. 5.
Skyline did it with arguably the most impenetrable defense in the state and three of the top recruits in the region — receivers Gino Simone and Kasen Williams and junior quarterback Jake Heaps. William Chandler and Jake Knecht added to the best receiving corps in the state.
When it was all said and done, Heaps completed 203 of 312 pass attempts for 2,910 yards and 38 touchdowns. He threw only four interceptions all season.
Said to be the most difficult receiver to cover in the state, Williams led receivers with 56 catches for 939 yards and 13 touchdowns. Simone had 861 yards and 14 touchdowns on 51 receptions. Knecht finished with 39 receptions for 552 yards and seven touchdowns.
Liberty grad Tim Lincecum wins National League Cy Young award
Tim Lincecum won't forget 2008. The 2003 Liberty High School graduate was named this year's National League Cy Young winner.
In his first full major league season with the San Francisco Giants, Lincecum, 24, went 18-5 with an earned-run average of 2.62 and a major-league leading 265 strikeouts in 227 innings.
During a news conference at AT&T Park, Lincecum said he was surprised he won the award by such a large margin.
"I figured it would be a lot closer race than it was especially with the tough competition out there," he said. "I thought (Brandon) Webb, (Johan) Santana or perhaps C.C. (Sabathia) had it. My reaction was, 'Woohoo!'"
Lincecum led the Patriots to the state baseball title his senior year before playing three seasons at the University of Washington, where he was an All-American in 2006. In three season with the Huskies, Lincecum set a Pac-10 record with 481 strikeouts.
The Giants selected him with the 10th overall pick in the 2006 draft.
Mark your calendar — Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants visit Safeco Field May 22-24 for an interleague series with the Mariners.
Issaquah wrestlers win KingCo crown
After four straight seasons of finishing second, the Issaquah wrestling team finally got over the hump and captured its first KingCo championship since 1998 on Feb. 2.
The Eagles finished with 198 points, easily topping second-place Mercer Island by 34.5 points.
Issaquah also crowned three individual league champions — sophomore Brandon Pearson at 103, senior Drew Mermel at 130 and senior Nick Marzahl at 171. Mermel's league title at 130 was his third straight.
Pearson actually had to go through a teammate to win the 103-pound weight division, as he defeated Ty Morton 10-6 in the finals. Morton had qualified for the varsity event by going through the junior varsity tournament. Dalton Baunsgard at 112 and Jordan Tanner at 119 also finished second place in their respective divisions and picked up valuable points for the Eagles.
In all, Issaquah managed to qualify 11 wrestlers for the Region I tournament. Other qualifiers included Ben Tickman (125), Jacob Borin (140), Lyle Ratcliffe (145), Jon White (152) and Chris Widener (171).
Skyline's Andie Taylor at Olympic Trials
Skyline High School junior swimmer Andie Taylor swam in eight events at the Olympic Trials June 29-July 6 in Omaha, Neb.
The local standout did not qualify for the Olympics, but ended up breaking the all-time state record in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1 minute, 58.23 seconds, earning All-American status.
She won the state title with that time at the Class 4A meet in November. Taylor helped Skyline perform better than ever at the state meet, leading the team to a seventh overall finish.
The same day, Taylor achieved All-American status in the 100 freestyle. Although she placed second in that event, Taylor broke a five-year-old state record with a time of 49.97 seconds.
"If the race would have been 101 yards, Andie would've won," head coach Susie Miller said of how quickly Taylor closed in on Kentlake's Chelsea Bailey.
Kara Chin wins gymnastics title
A robot routine earned Kara Chin high marks from judges, as she captured a state championship in the floor exercise at the Class 3A/2A individual state gymnastics championships at the Tacoma Dome Feb. 16.
Chin's winning score of 9.675 capped a three-meet sweep for the senior, who also won the floor exercise at the district meet and the league meet.
Chin was the first Issaquah gymnast to win a state title since 1999 and just the fourth in school history.
She didn't begin using the robot routine that earned her so much praise from the judges until halfway through the season. It included a number of challenging tumbling passes, a round-off backhand spring layout full, as well as a front pike stepout roundoff with a backhand spring back layout.
Chin was eighth at state in the floor exercise the previous year.
As a team, Issaquah was second at the state meet with 176.4 points. Newport won a close race in the team standings with 177.425 points.
Lady Spartans win state soccer title
The Skyline High School girls soccer team won it all after beating the Woodinville Falcons 2-0 in the state Class 4A final game in Lakewood Nov. 22.
The Lady Spartans surprised many as they trudged through the gauntlet that is KingCo 4A competition last fall.
While adjusting to the jump from 3A in 2007, the Lady Spartans went 15-2-2 overall in 2008, both of their regular-season losses coming against cross-town rival and defending 4A champion Eastlake.
In the playoffs, Skyline outplayed reigning 3A champs Issaquah as well.
Head coach Don Braman was voted the 4A Coach of the Year. Forward Kiara Williams made the second team, all-state and midfielder Madi Barney was honorable mention.
Goalkeeper Jill Stika had 10 shutouts for the Lady Spartans in 2008, and Williams and Coral Anderson led the team in scoring with eight goals each.
Issaquah High School lacrosse takes state crown
Five years ago, if you mentioned lacrosse in Issaquah, you would have drawn blank stares or perhaps a vague reference to "that sport with sticks," said Matthew Balkman, co-president of Issaquah Youth Lacrosse.
"In five years, we've gone from zero to 600 players," he said. "For a nonmainstream sport, that's pretty incredible."
Issaquah and Skyline boys lacrosse teams advanced to the Final Four of the state playoffs in 2008, with Issaquah defeating Bainbridge Island High School 11-8 in the state championship game in May at Seattle's Memorial Stadium.
Alex Bates, a senior on the Issaquah team, began playing lacrosse as a freshman. He was so enamored by the sport when he was introduced to it that he rushed down to the local sporting good store to buy the equipment. Bates earned first team All-State honors and in June played in the 2008 National Senior Showcase, an all-star game in Chicago featuring the top 100 high school players in the U.S.
Issaquah and Skyline should excel once again this year. They'll be joined by Liberty High School, who will field a team for the first time.
Purple pride comes through as Issaquah takes third in baseball
Coming into 2008, the Issaquah High School baseball team was the defending champion. They had high hopes to return to Safeco Field to defend their crown only to lose in the semifinal game against Kennewick, 4-1.
The following day at Safeco Field, the Eagles used some timely hitting to go along with an outstanding pitching performance by senior Tyler Vanderboegh to defeat Meadowdale 7-2.
In the opening round of the playoffs, Issaquah crushed Hazen, 20-2, and then shutout Franklin Pierce 7-0 on May 17 at Bannerwood Sports Park in Bellevue.
Perhaps the only thing hotter than the Eagles' bats that day was the 90-degree weather. Issaquah's offensive prowess was matched by two stellar complete game pitching performances by Adam Kemmerer (in the Hazen game) and Vanderboegh, who combined to allow only one earned run and nine hits.
Liberty football advances to quarterfinals
Coming on the heels of a 5-5 season in 2007, Liberty High School coach Steve Valach was optimistic for the '08 season.
His senior-laden team provided valuable experience as the Patriots advanced through the playoffs. Liberty finished second in the KingCo 3A conference to Bellevue. Liberty crushed North Kitsap 52-17 in the opening round of the playoffs.
The following week, the Patriots staged a thrilling come-from-behind win against sixth-ranked Kennedy 21-17 at Highline Stadium in Burien. The Patriots were down 17-0 at halftime and in the closing 13 minutes, scored 21 points against the Lancers.
The Patriots' magic carpet ride season came to a halt Nov. 22, when the top-ranked Bellevue Wolverines downed them 35-7 in the Class 3A quarterfinals.
Liberty finished the year 9-3 overall. The cupboard won't be bear come next fall as the Patriots return Trey Wheeler, a first team KingCo selection at quarterback and punter. He also made the all-state team as a punter.
Eagles former coach Gary Moore dies
The Issaquah football community was shocked when former head coach Gary Moore died of a stroke Sept. 11 at the age of 68.
A graduate of Franklin Pierce High School, Moore played football for four years at Western Washington University. He then spent his entire professional career as a high-school teacher and football coach.
As the head coach at Issaquah, his football teams went 137-72-3 with three league championships and four playoff appearances, including an appearance in the 1980 King Bowl.
He was chosen as the state Coach of the Year in 1984 by the National High School Coaches Association.
Issaquah honored Moore with a moment of silence before its football game with Mount Si Sept. 12. At each game after that in 2008, school officials honored Moore's memory with a statement about his legacy of winning and strong coaching ethic.

MTSU's Kyle Griswould runs for a touchdown against Western Carolina on Aug. 29. Chase Pennycuff blocks for him.
- Filed Under
MTSU wide receiver Kyle Griswould's last name is often mispronounced, but North Texas coach Dan McCarney recognized it immediately.
"Oh, yeah, Griswould (correctly pronounced Griz-wood). We have seen him. We have seen a whole lot of him," McCarney said Wednesday from his office. "He has always really impressed me."
Griswould, a senior, has played his best games against the Mean Green, who will host the Blue Raiders on Saturday. His first touchdown catch came against North Texas in 2011 after he transferred to MTSU from Duke. ...

On his death in 1685 Neve possessed at least eighteen paintings by Murillo, including the portrait that records their friendship and which Murillo painted as a gesture of thanks to Neve for having secured him the commission for the large canvases for Santa María la Blanca. Inspired by similar portraits by Italian artists and Van Dyck, Murillo depicted Neve with an elegance and presence rarely encountered in depictions of a Spanish cleric.
Murillo's particular sensitivity to the subject of children is evident in another work in this exhibition, The Infant Saint John the Baptist with a Lamb, depicting the youthful saint in the desert. It belonged to Justino de Neve who lent it for the temporary altar erected outdoors to celebrate the completion of the rebuilding of the church of Santa María la Blanca.
Together with Velázquez's depiction of himself in Las Meninas, Murillo's Self-portrait is one of the most sophisticated and influential depictions of an artist to have been produced in 17th-century Spain. Conceived as a painting within a painting, it includes elements that refer to the intellectual nature of painting as an activity. The splendid celebrations organised to mark the reopening of the church of Santa María la Blanca were described in a publication by Neve's friend, the priest and poet Fernando de la Torre Farfán (1609-1677). Temporary altars and arches were erected in the square adjoining the church and decorated with paintings by Murillo and other Sevilian artists. In addition, there were magnificent processions and religious ceremonies, poetry competitions and an outdoor exhibition of paintings.

The motor I used in my build is an outrunner
I love this plane but I only fly it as a glider. I'm still new to flying but the Syncro is quickly building my confidence. Oh and I get to practice rolling take-off and landings!
Here is what I did my build with:
Eflight 400 in-runner, Detrum 25A ESC and 9g micro servos (x4), Spektrum AR500, skylipo 1800 mah 3S 20C.
Oh and I put 2 T-pro 9g servos in the sport wing.

I could use some advice??
Well here is where a 22 year RC vet becomes humbled. I currently have 14 EDF's in my hanger. 64mm being the smallest 101mm the largest and everything in between. However I have always prefered outrunners and that is all I own and run. This plane is at one of my local hobbyshops and I was looking into it for my wife who is starting to learn in the hobby. yes she has mastered 4 ch. props. She has also flown one of my 70mm Wings makers J-10b dragons with a buddy box. She isn't ready to land an edf yet. I am trying to find a decent motor that will not need modification but have heard only bad things about Ammo inrunners. She wants to build this ARF also which I think is great because you learn so much about flying from building. Any cheap decent motors you guys could recommend? Yes I could order any 24mm 4040kv inrunner but I would love some suggestions. Thanks everyone.
I have sold many of the Wicked 4800 motors for 3S lipo use on this model. More power than stock or the Wicked 4000 for stock like power.
I wonder what happened to this thread? I think this looks like a pretty cool little plane/build. I am seriously thinking about it for my next plane. With the 4800 motor, running it on 3s. When do you think you will have the 40 amp esc's in stock again? Also, I see that you used the stock fan, but if I buy one from you then I can have it balanced, and save having to ship you the stock fan? What is the centering ring made of?
ESCs are in transit and due middle of next week. I do not sell the stock fan unit for this plane it is specially made for this plane. The centering ring is made from 1/8" thick foam.
If you want it balanced then you would have to send the fan unit and the brass rotor adapters that come with it to me. The only other option would be for me to buy the fan unit from Tower hobbies and charge you for it which will be more than postage to send it to me. What guys have done in the past was to simply send me the pod and fan unit to me and I would assemble balance and install the thrust tube and centering ring so it was all ready to mount to the plane. If you are running 3S a 2200 25 C is fine.
Thrust tubes do not gain static thrust they increase dynamic thrust in flight and your test results prove just that. To achieve the same thrust with a smaller outlet nozzle (thrust tube installed) means the velocity of the air coming out is much faster than without the thrust tube installed. This means the top speed of the model will be higher with the thrust tube than without it installed. That is the purpose of a thrust tube, to gain top end speed not to maintain low end thrust. Also they are generally installed when there is excess power to be harnessed. The stock power system on this plane is really only enough to make it fly around. So a thrust tube may not increase the top end speed really as it needs almost all the thrust it makes just to fly at a normal speed. If you put in a high power system like I did then you have extra power to play with so the increased efflux speed makes the model fly faster, typically 8-10 mph is gained over not having one. So for the stock motor on 3S I would agree to not install the thrust tube, but only because the stock watts are too low, not because the trust tube concept does not work. I just want to make that distinction.
speed gun
OoK, so I gotta convince the club to invest in a speed gun when they want an in-door john for the girls.
What I'am about right now is;
1. finding a cheaper motor for the syncro
2. More thrust to fly bigger FPV cameras on extra high drag all terrain syncro gliders.
Since the fan size is fixed the only way to get more thrust is by increasing the rpm so higher kv or higher voltage battery (4S instead of 3S) or a combination of both. The motors I sell for this fan are $30, if you need a cheaper motor then that then you have to ask in the general thread in the foamy EDF forum for this model and see what others have to say. Since this is my vendor forum, I only give advice and support on the product line I sell on my website.
Hey love what you have done with your syncro! So if I sent you the fan you could balance it and match a hot motor with it? I am considering just trying a evader motor first but I have a spare fan and I seen what you have done and like it

History, Culture, and the Brain
by Robin Marie
Thursday, April 07, 2011 at 07:27 AM EDT
I recently watched the debate between apologist William Lane Craig and historian Bart Ehrman on the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. As a historian in training, I naturally take special interest in this particular issue. My overall impression after watching the debate is that Craig lacks an understanding (willful or not) of the quality of his sources, the complexity of human psychology, and the power of culture, particularly when it comes to theological impulses. Finally, the reasoning with which he argues that the gospels are reliable sources, and could not have been produced if the story of resurrection is untrue, falls apart completely when one considers that using his same criteria, he ought to have passionate belief in other theological systems which are just as well attested to -- and more recently -- than the resurrection of Jesus.
First, let me give a quick outline of Craig and Ehrman's arguments. There were many point-counterpoints in the debate, and if you want a more detailed account I will direct you to either the transcript of the debate or the video of the debate. Here, I want to focus mostly on broader differences I notice between theological views of human nature and society and the skeptical and/or atheist view.
But first, a brief summary. Basically, Craig leans heavily on scholars who all agree that four events were likely to have happened based on the gospels: one, Jesus was buried by Joseph of Arimathea, two, Jesus' empty tomb was found empty by a group of women followers, three, different people on different occasions experienced (or reported experiencing) Jesus after his death, and four, the disciplines became absolutely convinced that Jesus had rose again despite "their having every predisposition to the contrary." Craig cannot think of any other explanation other than resurrection that accounts for these historical "facts" -- and the scare quotes are present because, obviously, agreement on these 'facts' is more contentious than Craig presents it to be. Craig also offers an elaborate mathematical equation -- yes, an equation -- with which he tries to show that given the background information of the circumstances of the resurrection story, the miraculous explanation actually comes out looking highly probable. This equation is, of course, nothing but smoke and mirrors and I highly doubt could convince anyone and probably even embarrassed some Christians in the audience.
Ehrman counters by exhaustively explaining that while he does not categorically reject a miracle as an explanation, its acute unlikelihood means that many other explanations are far more likely, even when they themselves are not highly probable. He also makes clear that the explanation of Jesus' Resurrection itself depends on a preformed theological belief -- that Jesus was the son of God and, that God exists in the first place -- which must be assumed in order for the resurrection explanation to hold any water. But historians of course are not in the business of pronouncing upon whether or not God exists, as it is not a question that can be supported by historical evidence. Most importantly, he disputes the understanding that Craig has of the "four facts," explaining how such claims could come to be made without the narrative unfolding in the literal way Craig wants to interpret the gospels. Ehrman offers several possibilities for how the story of the resurrection came to be, and he also offers the explanation he actually embraces. They are:
1) Jesus' family was resentful that he was buried by strangers (not family) and, I would add, perhaps were jealous about how Jesus had abandoned his family in general to devote his loyalty to his apostles instead, and broke into the tomb to steal the body and rebury it somewhere else in a family plot/location. The body is discovered missing, and the stories ensue.
2) Ehrman mentions that there is a tradition from Syriac Christianity where Jesus had an identical brother, and people actually mistook this brother for Jesus himself. This would certainly go rather far in sparking stories about the resurrection of Jesus. Again, Ehrman does not think this likely -- but he rightly points out that it is far more likely than a supernatural miracle.
3) Finally, Ehrman presents his historically sophisticated personal view of how the Resurrection stories were produced. I will quote this in full as he puts it perfectly:
In this single passage, Ehrman demonstrates that he understands a couple of things that seem to completely escape Craig. Firstly, Craig does not seem to grasp the fact that people make shit up. It really is that simple. And this is not that difficult to demonstrate -- even in our full-fledged modernity, with video cameras, the internet, and every conceivable mode of documenting What Actually Happened, there are still false stories and claims generated every year, nearly every day. Most of these can be disposed of through fact checking, but there is no fact checking something that supposedly happened over 2,000 years ago. Yet even today, false claims about reality still survive -- some Southerners like to claim that the Civil War was not fought over the expansion of slavery. This is obviously and completely untrue, and can be documented endlessly by a million primary sources. And yet, people believe it is true, and write entire books attempting to document the reliability of their account of this merely 150 year old event. Do these people know they are lying? Sometimes, but usually not.
Which brings us to the second thing that Craig does not understand. Especially when it comes to matters of religion, we are usually not dealing simply with good people who tell the truth and bad people who lie. People come to sincerely believe things that are not true. People do this all the time. People have visions; people are gullible; people will embellish a story they heard from someone else who heard it from someone else, and before you know it the three people who thought they saw Jesus becomes several hundred people who were absolutely sure they saw Jesus. Culture and religion bring human beings meaning, and especially in a time where most people did not have the knowledge to distinguish, for example, between a dream or a vision and something that was occurring in reality, there is every temptation to accept a resurrection story as gospel truth. The human brain has quite the tendency to believe things that are not true -- and this is particularly so in regard to theological issues, because questions of heaven and hell, God and the soul, spark in us a most primitive need for explanation, for belief. Furthermore, they are not routinely subjected to the usual course of common sense.
I have noticed this is a distinct difference between atheists and theists: while atheists understand the complexity and deception of the human brain, theists seem to have completely missed out on the last several decades of neuroscience, not to mention historical scholarship. They seem to still believe that our brains are reliable recorders, absorbing facts as they exist in the real world and then forming perfect, accurate memories of events. They do not seem to believe in the subconscious, nor do they contemplate the reality and significance of various mental illnesses, nor do they think our brains ever deceive us, ever make us experience a sensation or a thought that isn't accurately understood by our consciousness. Culture, apparently, has no influence over us, and had no influence over the people who lived in the time of Jesus. We do not search for meaning through symbols and shared assumptions, subject to change but incredibly powerful in the influence they exert on our brain's attempts to interpret events -- no, human beings -- especially those who lived in the time of Jesus -- see everything for what it is, and are never deceived. Perhaps most importantly, we always have complete control over our brains; we are completely in the driving seat.
Of course, all of Craig's logic is shown for what it is -- a predisposition to belief based on emotional needs rather than intellectual evaluation -- when simply applied to other religions. Because Craig so liked to talk about the "four facts" and how many people supposedly experienced and witnessed the resurrected Jesus, my favorite example to point out the problem with this is the golden plates of Mormonism. Mormonism, might we remind Craig, started a measly 180 years ago, the personal witnesses to the plates were all living when these first hand accounts were written down (this is something we lack entirely with the gospels) and all together we have twelve people (including Smith) who claim to have seen these magical golden plates with their own eyes. Based on Craig's own logic, why would these people ever say they saw these plates if they did not? Surely no one would make something like that up. Well, Craig might retort, they saw something, some forgery Joseph Smith had produced, and they mistook it for something real. But certainly this could never happen with the resurrection of Jesus -- no one could have ever thought they saw Jesus, either through a vision, a dream or someone who looked like him, and be mistaken. The inconsistencies are glaring. Either Craig should accept the reality of the golden plates and convert to Mormonism, or he should question his own cheery assumptions about how so impressively reliable the gospels are.
A dozen other examples to this extent could be found. Matt McCormick has given the ingenious example of the Salem Witch Trials, where claims about witchcraft were just as well documented as the resurrection, and yet no one believes the women hanged were actually witches. (Or one might believe some of them were trying to practice witchcraft, but just as believing that Jesus' followers thought something had happened does not mean Christianity is true and God exists, believing that some of the women in Salem were up to something does not mean Satan is real and was in cahoots with them.) At one point, Craig put forward the absurd argument that since early Christian believers were willing to die for their faith in the resurrection, it is unlikely they could have been so devoted to something that never happened. Well I suppose that means the cult Heaven's Gate has just as solid a claim to our salvation as Christianity, as do Islamic suicide bombers. Indeed, to argue that a wiliness to die is somehow an indicator of the truth of the belief one dies for is a dangerous argument to make in this day and age.
At the end of the day, the historical understanding of apologists seems to be rooted very deeply, it seems to me, in two things -- a lack of understanding about how molded by cultural assumptions and needs human beings are, and a near total disregard for how powerful and ultimately, outside of our control our own brains are. The denial of these two things, an understanding of which is central to mankind's navigation of life in modernity, ultimately rests, I believe, in fear -- the fear of uncertainty, the fear of ambiguity, the fear of lacking control over one's self and one's fate. And these are precisely the fears that religion is designed to assuage. We all share these fears and insecurities, and to struggle with them is deeply human. So too, I am afraid, is the strategy of coping with them by refusing to face them.

Specifically working with ministries that serve the poor, EMI comes alongside client ministries who are undertaking construction projects, are involved in disaster response or disaster risk reduction or who are requiring construction management. In these specialized ways EMI fulfills its mandate to help children and families around the world step out of poverty and into a world of hope.Engineering Ministries International is a family of seven international offices that together have conducted over 1000 projects in over 90 countries since 1982. Kinds of internships: Internships with EMI Canada are typically one school term long, taking place in the Spring (Jan-April), Summer (May-Aug) and Fall (Sept-Dec). Intern positions have typically been filled by engineering and architecture students who have completed at least three years of a professional program. However, interns from other disciplines who contribute to serve our client ministries with other skills have been accepted and are always welcome to apply.
EMI Canada interns are based in Calgary, Alberta but travel with a project team for a 10-14 day working visit to the ministry location near the beginning of the term. Once the project trip is complete the remainder of the term is spent completing the project report, design/construction documents and other deliverables (i.e. materials to aid fundraising) for the client ministry.
Desirable skills:EMI Canada is looking for interns who are challenged to assist ministries in the developing nations increase their capacity to serve the poor and bring people to a saving faith in Jesus. Focusing on construction design professionals but also incorporating the skills of those in business development, communication and graphic design, interns with specialized skills of all kinds can complement the core work of an EMI team.Number of internships: 2-6 each term.
Further: While we have traditionally engaged undergrad and graduate level professional design students, we are excited about the possibility of engaging graduate and post-graduate interns in the broader field of development.

Hypochromia means that the red blood cells have less color than normal when examined under a microscope. This usually occurs when there is not enough of the pigment that carries oxygen (hemoglobin) in the red blood cells.
The most common cause of hypochromia in the United States is iron deficiency. The cause of hypochromia should be evaluated by your health care provider.

- For the meringue, heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Line the base of a loose-bottom 20cm square tin. Tip 25g of the walnuts into a food processor and blitz until ground as finely as possible, add the rest of the walnuts, then pulse to chop roughly. Tip the egg whites into a clean bowl, whisk until peaks have formed, then gradually add the sugar a third at a time, beating between each addition until stiff. Fold in the walnuts. Tip the meringue into the tin, then spread over the base. Bake for 2 hrs until crisp, then leave to cool. This can be done 1 day in advance and covered in cling film.
- While the meringue is cooking, make the sweetened purée by mixing the chestnut purée with the sugar until smooth. This can be done 1 day in advance and covered in cling film. Put a couple of large bowls to chill in the fridge.
- To assemble, leave the ice cream to soften slightly so it's pliable, but not melted. Working quickly, in one of the bowls mix half of the ice cream with half of the purée to make chestnut ice cream. If it's too soft once you have mixed it, place the bowl in the freezer to firm up. Once all the ice cream is the same consistency, quickly ripple the vanilla and chestnut ice creams and half the remaining purée together. Spread over the meringue and smooth the top, then place in the freezer until frozen solid. This can be done 1 month in advance and frozen, covered in cling film. You can also freeze the rest of the purée.
- To serve, defrost the purée, remove the cake from the freezer, then place in the fridge for 40 mins. Meanwhile, make a thin piping bag from greaseproof paper and whip the cream until stiff. Mix in the rest of the purée, continue to beat until it becomes stiff again, then tip the cream into the piping bag. Using a large knife dipped into hot water, cut the cake into 9 squares. Working quickly, pipe a 'crazy-string' nest of chestnut cream in the centre of each square. Top the cream with half a marron glacé or candied chestnut and serve straight away.

James L Smith Psychotherapist
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Waterloo London SE1
Experienced UKCP registered psychotherapist in London offering counselling and psychotherapy in Waterloo.
Have you ever felt not quite yourself, but didn't know why?
Psychotherapy can act as a mirror and allow you to look at what is bothering you.
Sometimes we know what is causing our distress. It could be bereavement, career concerns, relationship issues or physical illness. The process of talking to a therapist about these problems allows you to shed some light on them in a confidential, safe way, with someone who is in no other way connected to your life.
The journey from not feeling yourself to discovering yourself is different for every single one of us. I believe psychotherapy has two main functions: It can provide the support needed to move through crisis; It allows you time and space to get to know yourself, allowing you to develop a greater sense of well being.
I offer long and short-term counselling and psychotherapy to individuals with a wide range of difficulties including;
And don't forget, sometimes we don't know the exact nature of what's wrong, but we know it doesn't have to be that way.

Venus Williams has opted not to compete in this year's Wimbledon due to an ongoing back problem.
Williams, 33, won the tournament five times in her career. She was eliminated in the first round last year by Elena Vesnina, who has never gone beyond the fourth round of a grand slam.
Williams also exited this year's French Open at the first hurdle, going down in straight sets to world No. 40 Urszula Radwanska. She has decided to take some time off in order to recuperate.
She wrote on her official Facebook page: "Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in Wimbledon this year.
"I am extremely disappointed as I have always loved The Championships, but I need to take time to let my back heal.
"I look forward to returning to the courts as soon as possible, with my goal being to return to Mylan World Team Tennis on July 8 in Washington DC. Many thanks to my fans for the love and support and I will be seeing you very soon back on the courts."
Williams was also forced to pull out of the Miami Masters in March because of a similar complaint.

I don't think that's likely. If the President was chosen by the Council, then he wouldn't really be the President of the United Federation of Planets; in English, the term for a head of government chosen by the legislature is "Prime Minister."
This isn't entirely correct, though. You forgot countries like Germany and Italy (Germany especially, since it is also a federal republic). Both have a head of state called a President but he isn't elected by the people. He is elected by a special body consisting of Members of Parliament and state/regional representatives.
Yeah, but I deliberately disregarded those Presidents because they aren't the actual leaders of the country. They are, as you noted, ceremonial heads of state with little real authority; they are heads of state but not heads of government.
The Federation President, by contrast, has been consistently depicted as being both the head of government and the head of state. If the head of government is determined by or from amongst the legislature, then the head of government is a Prime Minister or President of the Government, not the President of the state. Ergo, the Federation President cannot be selected by the Council.
OTOH, I doubt the UFP Prez is as powerfull as the US one. The Federation seems to me a much more loose federation than the USA (and it should be, since it isn't truly 'one nation' like the US, but more a 'union of nations' like the EU) and I doubt one man would be given such power.
In fact, the canon has seemed to imply that the President shares a lot of power with the Council. It was the Council, for instance, that issued the
her orders in "The Defector," and it was the Council that determined Federation policy towards the Klingon invasion of Cardassia in "The Way of the Warrior."
establishes that the Federation President must, amongst his/her duties, preside over full sessions of the Council, and always works closely with the relevant Councillors from a given issue's Council committee. The President is also responsible for nominating Councillors for a given committee, with the full Council then confirming it. So the implication is that while the role of the Federation President is analogous to the U.S. presidential system, the relationship between the President and Council is closer to that between a Prime Minister and Parliament. It's sort of a hybrid system in that regard.

's commitment to American liberalism and the reflection of those values in its depiction of the Federation, I can't buy the idea that the Federation allows Member States to join that are not themselves liberal democracies.
The Federation doesn't seem to be completely strict though, allowing for some cultural peculiarities. Take Bajoran politics, for example. They were a democracy with a secular government, but the religious authorities like the Kai and Vedek Assembly also held an important political position (wasn't it a Kai that led the peace talks with Cardassia?). Yet, the UFP is ready to admit Bajor in.
A strict separation of church and state is not a necessary condition of liberal democracy. The United Kingdom is a liberal democracy, yet it has a state religion in the form of the Church of England and the Church of Scotland.
Also, we don't know exactly what role the Bajoran church plays in Bajoran society. The vedeks and kais that were negotiating with the Cardassians may have been doing so as special emissaries appointed by the government (sort of like how North Korea is sending folks to negotiate with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson -- not in his role as Governor of the State of New Mexico, but in a separate role as a special representative of the U.S. government). It's possible that the Bajoran church has no official relationship with the Bajoran government; it's unclear.
Democratic socialism is the hope of human freedom.
