|Bisphenol-A exposure during pregnancy and lactation affects maternal behavior in rats.

|In mammals, endogenous estrogens are crucial for sexual differentiation during the perinatal period, and the modulation in adulthood of many neuroendocrine and behavioral functions involved in reproduction. In rats, the estrogenic environment during pregnancy and lactation affects directly maternal behavior. This experiment was aimed to test whether the exposure to the estrogenic compound bisphenol-A (BPA; 0.040 mg/kg/die, orally) of adult female rats, from mating to weaning of the pups, could alter maternal behavior. An appropriate methodology was applied to reveal differences in the behavior of dams directed to male and female pups, testing the dams on postnatal days 3-4 and 8-9. Results show different maternal behavioral patterns towards male and female pups of control mothers, with more ano-genital licking to males than to females. Exposure of mothers to BPA modified their behavior, reducing specific components of maternal behavior, both active and passive, irrespective of the sex of pups and the period of observation. This experiment shows that maternal behavior is affected by a prolonged exposure to a low dose of BPA during pregnancy and lactation, thus suggesting an effect on neural circuits in adulthood.

Every day this week I've said to myself "This is the last time I'm posting anything about summer league." Yet every day, the NBA puts out another video featuring multiple plays from Portland's 2-3 run in Las Vegas, such as today's reel of Top 10 Dunks.
The baseline alley-oop from CJ McCollum to Will Barton versus the Rockets starts out the list at No. 10 while Barton's between-the-legs alley-oop to Thomas Robinson, which has been featured in just about every highlight package from the 2014 summer league, versus the Hawks comes just short of taking the top spot on the list. McCollum, Barton and Robinson also took two of the Top 10 spots in the summer league Top 10 Plays package as well.

The bridge connecting Duncan Falls and Philo over the Muskingum River is shown in this July 2010 file photo.
- Filed Under
The load limit on the Philo-Duncan Falls Bridge has been reduced after deteriorating beams under the canal or Philo side of the bridge were discovered during inspections earlier this week.
Muskingum County Engineer Doug Davis said the 40-ton limit was reduced to a 15-ton limit, and truck traffic for the time being will have to use the Gaysport bridge to the south or the Ohio 719 bridge to the north as alternate routes.
The reduction does not affect school bus traffic or typical passenger vehicle travel on the main artery between Philo and Duncan Falls. ...

If you have gotten a tattoo in the past then most likely you have heard your artist tell you to avoid using Vaseline products on your tattoo while it is healing. The typical reason is that the Vaseline will dry out the tattoo.
We decided that it was time to shed some light on this matter. Remember, Vaseline is basically petroleum jelly. You might be surprised to find out that some of the typical products recommended by tattoo artists for after care are actually petroleum jelly based. Just to name a few, the main active ingredient in A&D Ointment and in Aquaphor is petroleum jelly.
Petroleum jelly can help in the protection barrier of healing tattoos, but it will not nourish the inked skin as to preserve it's integrity and keep it looking beautiful for the long run. We recommend using a product that can actually penetrate the skin to provide moisture and antioxidant/anti-inflammatory ingredients. These ingredients are essential to effective tattoo healing as they help rebuild the structure and barriers of the skin. We recommend getting started with the Revita Ink Essential Bundle to keep your tattoo healthy.

I was given a Kodak 620 Brownie Pliant some months ago and have come to use it often (easy conversion to 120) - does anyone have any ideas on how to hack into the shutter and get flash sync from it - I foresee two ugly wires poking out awkwardly or something ?
The shutters work I'm guessing much like a Holga, which has sync - so I can do a comparison mish-mash kinda job hopefully - question is, how do I open the brownie shutter with destroying it ?
or any other suggestions ? pushed 3200 doesn't cut it for the look I'm after
cheers as always (;

An Aspen teenager who pleaded guilty in connection with the beating of a runaway girl last fall on Independence Pass has been sentenced to 14 years in prison. Jaime Castro was 17-years-old when he pleaded guilty in the beating of a 16–year–old California girl.
Castro became romantically involved with co–defendant Cynthia Romero, who has yet to be tried in the case. Castro and Romero beat the girl after she got in the way of the romance. The victim managed to get away and flag down a passing motorist.
Castro was tried as an adult. He has no previous criminal record and could be released from prison within five years if he can successfully complete a youth offender program in Pueblo.

The polar vortex is making a comeback, just two weeks after it brought record low temperatures to the Chambersburg area.
Forecasters are predicting less extreme, but more extensive cold.
There is the chance the cold may rival that of early January in some areas, according to Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather expert senior meteorologist. The cold may be intense enough to cause school closings, frozen pipes and water main breaks. Heating systems may struggle to keep up, people will spend more money keeping their homes and businesses warm and ice will again build up on area rivers. Where the cold is accompanied by snow, travel delays are likely.
Temperatures in the Chambersburg area should be in the single digits on Tuesday night and again on Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service and AccuWeather.com.
It won't get above freezing from Monday night through Sunday afternoon, Jan. 26, according to AccuWeather's extended forecast. On the following week, local thermometers won't top the freezing mark until Groundhog Day.
"This is the most favorable pattern for snow that we've had all winter, and it's occurring right at the beginning of the period when snowstorms are most frequent climatologically," said Wes Junker in his Washington Post weather blog. "Systems will be diving southward from Canada, which will probably offer us clipper-type lows, making any storms more likely to produce light-to-moderate snowfall than heavy."
A part of the polar vortex, dipping south and hovering over Hudson Bay in northern Canada, will act like a giant pinwheel producing a series of weak storms with spotty snow and flurries in the East, according to Sosnowski. The North Central states will get the worst of the arctic cold, which will not be quite as severe by the time it reaches the Northeast.
Prior to and during the main push of the coldest air later in the month in the East, there may be a large storm or two. According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bernie Rayno, "We could have a storm slice out of the South Central states and into the mid-Atlantic and Northeast that puts down snow."
Any deep snow cover that occurs could make the cold more severe. Deep snow acts as an insulator to the warming effects of the ground.
"If there is no big snow ahead of the cold in the East, it may take more of the extreme out of the cold," Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity said.
The new invasion of frigid air will produce lake-effect snow downwind of areas of open water. While much of Lake Erie has frozen over, most of the other Great Lakes are still open. Some areas immediately downwind of Lake Erie may get colder with this outbreak, compared to the last.

What is it about the Super Bowl that makes us want to dip stuff? We dip hot wings in blue cheese dressing, chips in onion dip, pumpernickel bread in spinach dip, tortilla chips in queso, and vegetables in ranch dip.
What do all those dips have in common? They are heavy on mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream and cheese. But who says those foods need to be the base for your party dips? Pureed beans, nuts or tomato paste can also make dips of creamy consistency, and add a lot of nutrition to the dips, too.
Here are five dips that you might want to add as an option at your Super Bowl spread or take as your contribution if you're watching the game at a friend's house.
- Zesty Bean Dip - Fat-free refried beans form the base for this dip that is perfect for tortilla chips. Add salsa, cilantro and scallion, and you've got a protein and vitamin-packed dip instead of a fat-packed dip. This recipe looks as if it's for a single serving, but it can be multiplied easily to serve a crowd.
- Spicy Red Pepper and Walnut Dip – Roasted red peppers and tomato paste are combined with toasted almonds and walnuts for this dip. The nuts do add some fat, but it's unsaturated fat. Dip vegetables or toasted slices of whole-wheat baguette into this flavorful dip.
- Black Bean Dip – A definite Mexican-inspired dip, this recipe uses canned black beans, tomato paste, chilies, garlic, lime and more. It can be thrown together quickly in a food processor or blender and served with pita wedges, tortilla chips or vegetables.
- Fava Bean Dip with Goat Cheese and Garlic – Here's something a little different that you might want to try. Fava beans are packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. This recipe calls for fresh fava beans, but they are probably not available right now so use them in whatever form you can get. Dip cucumber slices or jicama slices in this bright green dip.
- Creamy White Bean Dip – Cannellini beans are pureed with several fresh herbs, a little heart healthy olive oil and garlic. One reviewer of the recipe suggests adding marinated artichoke hearts for extra flavor. A great dip for a variety of raw vegetables.

KZN ANC to intensify education campaignComment on this story
Durban - A campaign aimed at promoting the importance of education to society will be stepped up this year, the KwaZulu-Natal ANC said on Wednesday.
"Our volunteer corps movement will play a role in this campaign by monitoring the functioning of schools," spokesman Bongani Mthembu said in a statement.
Residents would be encouraged to prevent pupils from skipping classes. The movement would try to insulate pupils from social ills such as gang violence and drugs.
The African National Congress in the province was pleased most schools opened smoothly on Wednesday. It was satisfied that schools were ready for the new academic year, but remained concerned about schools that could not function at their best because of transport and infrastructure problems.
"The ANC calls on the department of education to speed up interventions in these schools."
People needed to report these schools, so they could get help.
Earlier, KwaZulu-Natal education department spokesman Muzi Mahlambi said there appeared to be fewer parents arriving on the first day of school to register their children.
While "pockets" of parents who failed to do this last year were expected, he said the department's media campaign had eased late registrations. - Sapa

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Guilty pleas from a father and son for
poaching two bull elk near the Nevada-Idaho line closed a yearlong
investigation involving wildlife agencies from three states and high-tech forensics on frozen meat and blood splotches.
Larry and Marty Hall pleaded guilty March 19 to killing a bull elk without a tag. Each paid thousands of dollars in fines.
The case began Nov. 6, 2010, when game wardens say both men shot
trophy-sized elk without a hunting tag and left one animal to rot.
Other hunters saw what happened and called authorities.
DNA analysis of frozen elk meat stored in household freezers and a blood sample lifted from a tire at Larry Hall's home in Colorado helped solve the case.
Three others involved pleaded to lesser offenses and also were fined.

It was a great beginning to the post season for the WBS Penguins beating the Senators 3-2 but stretching it to OT to do it. Penguins looked good in the first period but not so much in the second and some of the third. It wouldn't be until the OT period that the WBS Penguins found their way again scoring the game winner and taking game one in round one of the 2013 Calder Cup playoffs
Early in the game Kolarik and Smith working together get a nice set up and a quick shot but Lawson keeps them out. WBS working on John Hynes keys to the game keeping after the Senators giving them a lot of different looks creating some good chances.
WBS gets the first power-play as Binghamton sits in the box for a trip, in the bin would be Pat Cannone. And the Penguins come up big as Dumoulin finds Gibbons crashing the net gets him the puck for a nice tap in goal making it 1-0 Penguins. WBS holding Binghamton to no shots on goal until three quarters of the way through the first period Zatkoff had to save it with 5:54 left.
Chad Kalorik capitalizes on a turnover by Stephane Da Costa
smoking one past Lawson making it 2-0 Penguins. Binghamton gets a late power play with 1:41 left in the first as Alex Grant sits for a high stick, and the Senators score Shane Prince makes it count leaving the ice for the first intermission Penguins lead 2-1.
Just over a minute into the second
period the Pens get a power play as sits Jessiman sits for a slash, then as it starts up Derek Grant takes a tripping penalty making it a 5 on 3 but Nesbitt gets called for a high stick off the jump reducing it to a 4 on 3 after all that no goal. Binghamton seemed to make some adjustments during the intermission or the Pens lost some momentum for the first half of the second period giving the Senators some great chances with their sloppy play.
Payerl ends up in the bin giving Binghamton their second power play of the period the first lasting all of some three seconds not really something you can count. Despite the sloppy play during the second period the WBS penalty kill comes up big. A bad turnover by Samuelson and a pounce by Stone gives Bignhamton the even up goal with most of the second period gone.
Third period gets off the ground Binghamton playing a good transition game as they did in second not to mention good defense as well 6:30 in to the third and WBS not getting a shot on net. Kolarik gets a good rush with Samuelson causing David Dziurzynski to take a tripping penalty giving WBS a great power play chance. Brian Gibbons almost puts one home off the jump but Lawson snags it. Senators get a short handed chance on a WBS turnover but Zatkoff keeps it out.
WBS started to look tired deep in the third getting caught standing still at times third ends even at two and we are heading for overtime for the first post season game of 2013.
OT starts with some sloppy turnovers from the Pens but Zatkoff keeps the Senators honest, Penguins with a chance or two but nothing happening. WBS seemed to pick it up a bit started to look like they did in the first period. Chad Kolarik scores a nice wrist shot putting past Lawson taking game one round one of the Calder Cup playoffs.
When we asked John Hynes to talk about the momentum change from the first to the second and third what adjustments he made if any for the OT he said
"Binghamton played real well in the 2nd," Hynes said. "We can do a better job nullifying that but in general I like the way we pushed back when the momentum went in their favor. We bent but didn't break."
Thank you to Tony Androckitis from Highland Park Hockey for getting our question answered.
As soon as our corespondent gets back we will have a comment from Coach Hynes as well.

Some Wood County High School students attended a special assembly Friday afternoon, learning core values of being good citizens, and having a lot of fun at the same time.
The Parkersburg branch of the National Guard brought professional BMX riders to the Parkersburg South gymnasium.
Students applauded as the "Rise Above BMX Stunt Team" performed a medley of daring tricks to end the school day.
The event also highlighted the National Guard's core values of respect, integrity, and loyalty.
Organizers say the presentation is rewarding to both the students and the pro's as well.
"I love making the kids happy. I love putting smiles on kids faces," says Dan Sieg, team manager. "When you've got 1,600 kids in a gym screaming and yelling and you're upside-down, how many people can go to work everyday and say kids cheer for them."
Perhaps the highlight of the event, the pro's jumping over seven people - including four students.
And jumping over a math teacher on top of the ramp.

Anyway, I recently read her beauty secrets in Elle Magazine.com and was kind of in shock. Here's the article in it's entirety written by Johanna Cox, but if you don't want to read the whole thing, here's a quick summary.
The most surprising thing to me-she does not sleep or drink water regularly. She is extremely blessed to have skin so fabulous then
To keep her skin fabulous, she buys African shea butter from the street vendor, microwaves it, and rubs it all over her scalp, face and body every single night.
For zits, she uses neosporin.
Her preferred face cleanser is a bar of dove soap.
Her favorite Listick is from a company called Mona Lisa and the shade is Hot pink. The price- an astounding $1.99
Don't I always tell you that beauty can be affordable.
What are your thoughts on Ms. Rose?

text: If you're like me, you spend a lot of time wondering why women aren't as obsessed with cars as men. Logic would indicate that just as many women drive as men (at least in the US and Europe). Of course that same brand of logic would argue that men wear just as much clothing as women and I shouldn't start yawning when… »

Cranberry girl to be featured in Times Square video
Claire Barclay of Cranberry has made it to the Big Apple once again.
A photograph of the 6-year-old girl was recently selected from more than 1,000 photos to be featured in a short video presentation in Times Square in New York City as a way to kick off the National Down Syndrome Society's Buddy Walk, according to her mother, Holly Barclay.
Claire, who has Down syndrome, is one of more than 200 featured photos of individuals shown in the video to help raise awareness of the condition, said Jordana Stern, communications and social media manager for NDSS.
Its purpose is to "highlight their abilities rather than their disabilities," said Stern. This is the fourth year that Holly said her daughter's photo was selected.
"She likes everything that other kids like," said her mother, such as riding bikes, swimming and dancing. "She's just a typical 6-year-old."
Claire's photo featured her riding a ride at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin earlier this year with her aunt, Cindy Sager, of Scottdale, Westmoreland County.
Stern said the video lasts about 20 minutes and was played on the outdoor News Corp. Sony Screen, located in One Times Square.
""It attracts a lot of attention in Times Square. It has a really positive impact," Stern said.
NDSS's Buddy Walk, which is now in its 18th year, was held in cities across the country on Sept. 22 to help raise awareness.
Last year, about 285,000 total participants joined the effort, said Stern.
Before next year's Buddy Walk, NDSS will start to accept photos worldwide like Claire's beginning in May, Stern said.
A group of third-party individuals make the selections.
Those who would like to help can still do so at the local 2012 Three Rivers Dash for Down Syndrome on Saturday, Oct. 13, 11 to 3 p.m., in Hartwood Acres, said Holly.
Participation fee for the Dash event is $20 per household if registering online by Oct. 8, and will help raise money for the Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh, according to the group's website, www.dsapgh.org.
The Dash event was formerly connected to the Buddy Walk, but this year it's being raised locally, said Holly.
Money raised by donations and sponsorships stays with the local community, which directly impacts local families.
See information on the Buddy Walk and NDSS at www.ndss.org.
The video can also be ordered at the website.

More RNC Coverage:
Tampa, Florida -- Around 7:30 Tuesday morning, David and Kerry Koppin showed up at the Straz Center in Tampa, even though their event didn't start for at least 10 hours.
"We wanted to make sure we had a ticket," Kerry said.
They are devoted fans of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", which is taping downtown Tuesday through Friday.
The show's theme this week: "RNC 2012: The Road to Jeb Bush 2016."
"Let me clarify," said show correspondent Aasif Mandvi, "it's not THE Jeb Bush. It's really just any Jeb Bush. Anybody named Jeb in the state of Florida."
Mandvi is assigned a "Welcome to Tampa" story for the Comedy Central show.
Having gone to Chamberlain High School and the University of South Florida, he feels qualified for the assignment.
"It's just a lot of T&A, I have to be honest," he laughed.
Local fans seem eager to embrace being a punching bag.
"I think they'll give it [Tampa] a good shot. I mean that's their job," said David Koppin.
Tampa and the Republicans won't be the only ones getting picked on, either.
The show will broadcast from Charlotte and the Democratic National Convention next week.

Lee Ritter backed his pickup down the concrete landing and dipped his boat into the Iowa River just south of Coralville Lake.
Even if it was a typical December day, the avid fisherman would be out on the water looking for that big catch - though he'd be fishing through a hole in the ice.
"This is one of those last nice days," Ritter, a resident of Newall, said as he prepped his boat. "I like fishing all the time, but sitting in a boat beats sitting on ice any day." ...

Not all of us get to run around with Val'aynr. But for you mace casters out there who aren't first on your guild's Legendary list, here's another sweet mace to hunt down.
Name: Constellus (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Epic Main Hand Mace
Damage/Speed: 93-298 / 1.80 (108.8 DPS)
- +55 Stamina, +54 Intellect
- Blue socket with a +5 Spell Power bonus
- Improves crit strike rating by 29, restores 19 mana per five seconds, and improves spell power by 587
- That spell power is the key stat -- along with another high level item in your other hand, it holds its own against some of the best Staves in the game.
- And yes, Val'anyr is shinier and more legendary. But not everyone can get that one, so this one is probably just as good until you're able to farm for the orange.
- Not to mention that it looks awesome. I personally like the "earthy" feel of Ulduar weapons like this -- the shiny stars is nice too, but this kind of art looks better to me.
Getting Rid of It: Disenchants, as usual, into an Abyss Crystal, and sells back to vendors for 24g 26s 86c. Of course, you probably won't get rid of it until you've collected all of the pieces for the legendary (or until patch 3.2 appears, whichever comes first), but until then, it'll probably serve you well.

A year or two ago I was fortunate enough to try St. Germaine, an elderberry flower liqueur and I fell in love with the flavor of of elderberry flowers. Later I decided to explore the fruits of the elder tree and infused dried elderberries into a clover honey mead and realized it was one of my most delicious mead experiments.
Tonight I made 12 gallons of elderberry and wildflower melomel (mead made from honey and fruit). The must suggests a lovely fusion of tart berry and sweet, complex honey. I plan to ferment it dry and leave it uncarbonated.
The elder tree has some traditional association with folklore about magic and witchcraft (which JK Rowlings has kept alive with her reference to the Elder Wand). The leaves and berries of the elder tree also purported to have some medicinal qualities which have been at least partially verified by modern science.
I look forward to updating you on the progress of this latest experiment, which I hope is magical, soothing and tasty too.

Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, Second Edition
CRC Press, 26 feb 2001 - 272 pagine
Completely revised and updated, Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, Second Edition continues to provide simple techniques for calculating how chemicals behave in the environment, where they accumulate, how long they persist, and how this leads to human exposure. The book develops, describes, and illustrates the framework and procedures for calculating the behavior of chemicals in our multimedia environment of air, water, soil, and sediments, as well as the diversity of biota that reside in these media.
While other books focus on specific compartments, such as the atmosphere, or specific substances, such as PCBs, this book presents the big picture of how organic chemicals behave in the total environment. It does this by providing examples of calculation methods based on the fugacity approach and explaining how to access up-to-date property databases and estimation methods as well as computer programs, which are available from the Internet. In addition, the models are Web based, instead of on a floppy disk as in the previous edition.
Building on the work developed in the First Edition, the Second Edition includes:
When you need to make assessments of chemical behavior you need current, comprehensive. Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach provides you with not only an understanding of how the multitude of organic chemicals behave in the total environment, but also with practical examples of how this behavior can be predicted using the fugacity approach.

As of Friday, May 3, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — She had just won her fifth and sixth state titles, but when Madison Ragan was leaving Hugh Mills Stadium on Friday she didn't feel complete, didn't feel whole.
"I'm upset," Ragan said. "I wanted to do even better.''
Ragan always shoots for the sky, but this was different. This was her last GISA state track & field meet for Randolph Southern, and none of the kids who attend the school feel like they can do enough for the beloved little school in Shellman that is closing its doors forever at the end of the school year.
Ragan has been one of the school's biggest stars. She's the best softball player in Southwest Georgia — winning The Herald's Player of the Year honors for this past season — and Friday she won her third GISA Class A state title in the discus and followed up with her third title in the shot put. She's 6-for-6 during the past three years, sweeping the discus and shot put crowns. And she's only a junior.
But Ragan wanted to do more.
"It was pretty emotional when I found out the school was closing (two months ago), and I knew this would be my last state meet at Randolph Southern,'' she said. "I wish I would have done a little better (on Friday). Being one of the last successful athletes at Randolph Southern is something I will always think about. I will tell my kids about Randolph Southern. I will share that with them. It's such a great school. I hate that it's closing.''
Ragan was one of the biggest highlights in Day 2 of the GISA State Track & Field Championship as boys and girls teams in all three classes competed in the finals of the field events. The running finals are today, and both Deerfield-Windsor teams are in second place in the Class AAA team standings, while Westwood's boys and girls teams remain in the hunt in the Class AA meet.
Ragan scored 20 of Randolph Southern's 32 points, putting the Lady Patriots in second place behind Robert Toombs, which is running away with 91 points.
Ragan still doesn't know where she will go to school next fall. She said her family is still looking at Terrell Academy, Sherwood Christian and Southwest Georgia Academy.
She simply wanted to go out with a memorable state meet for R-S. She just missed tying her own state record in the discus (112 feet and 6 inches) with a winning throw of 112 feet on Friday, and then she won the shot put with a toss of 32 feet and 2 3/4 inches.
"I had been hitting 34 and 35 feet in the shot and had one for 37 feet, so I really was hoping to do better in the shot put,'' she said. "I was thinking about how this was my last time (competing) for Randolph Southern. It still hasn't really hit me yet. When I go to the graduation it will really hit me hard."
Ross Hunter, a freshman at Randolph Southern who won the state title in the high jump (6-1) and placed sixth in the long jump and sixth in the triple jump, felt the same way.
"I'm happy I won a state championship,'' Hunter said. "It's sad the school is closing, and I felt like I needed to do it for the school and give it my all. No one wants the school to close.''
It was Hunter's first state meet.
"I was a little nervous but my coach kept telling me to just calm down," he said. "He kept saying, 'Calm down and stay focused.' It felt great to win it.''
Hunter scored 16 of Randolph Southern's 28 points. Braylie Blanton also won a state title for Randolph Southern's girls team. She took first in the high jump (4-10) and was fourth in the long jump.
DWS is in the hunt in the girls and boys Class AAA meets. The Deerfield girls, who won their first state title last year, are in second place (44 points) behind Bulloch (66). Tattnall Square is in third (40) but has a chance to score big in today's running finals. DWS will need some help to repeat as state champs.
"We had a real good day,'' DWS girls coach Allen Lowe said. "We did really well, but Bulloch is looking real good right now. I don't know if we can get enough (today) to win. Some tings would have to happen, but our girls are having a real good meet.''
Virginia Moore ran a personal record 2:22 to finish second in the 800-meter run, the only running final on Friday, and Sarah Parker Jones finished second in the pole vault. Libby Greene finished third in the triple jump and fifth in the long jump, and Tarah Young was eighth in the long jump. Gabby Burt finished third in the shot put and fourth in the discus for DWS.
Southland eighth-grader Madison McPhearson, the daughter of former Lee County basketball coaches Fran and Tim McPhearson, made a statement in her state meet debut, finishing sixth in the Class AAA state meet.
The Deerfield boys are in position to possibly win their first title since 2009. They're in second place (45 ½ points) behind Stratford (61), and the Knights and Stratford both have a lot on the track today.
"We got everybody in the finals on Saturday that we thought we would get in,'' DWS boys coach Craig Rhodes said. "We had a good day (on Friday), and we've got a chance to win it Saturday. We've got a chance. That's all we want, a chance.''
Kh'Ron McClain, who was third in the triple jump on Friday, will be in the 100, 200 and run on both of DWS' relay teams today. He believes the Knights can do it.
"Everybody on the team is scoring points,'' he said. "That's what we've got to keep doing, just score points and we will have a chance to win it. It's great. Everyone is contributing.''
Nick Michas finished second in the discus and Matthew Fox was third to give DWS 14 points at the end of the day, and Fox was second in the shot put while Michas finished third as the combo piled up 28 points. Chap Ivey was eighth in the triple jump and Jason Battle was sixth in the high jump. Battle also finished third in the long jump, and teammate Jay Barber was seventh in the long jump.
Southland's Hunter Weldon (fifth) and Austin Hale (sixth) scored in the shot put.
Class AA
Ivy Foister had a monster day for the Westwood girls, winning the discus (99-10) and the shot put (32 feet). Hannah Hinesly was sixth in the shot for Westwood, and Terrell Academy's Brittney Spilman was fifth in the discus.
Westwood's Rachel Harrell was eighth in the long jump and her sister, Perra, was eighth in the 800. Leah Hilliard finished third in the pole vault, and teammate Savanna Robertson was fifth for Westwood. SGA's Katie Carver was fourth in the long jump, and teammate Braylie Everson was eighth in the triple jump.
Westwood had won back-to-back state titles and six of the last eight in Class A before moving to Class AA, but despite the big leap in competition, the Lady Wildcats and Wildcats are both having solid showings and are just out of the hunt.
"We had a good day,'' Westwood coach Earl Ford said. "We didn't have a great day, and we needed to have a great day. We performed well, but we're going to have to have some upsets and have a big day on Saturday (to have a chance to win it).
"But the way you look at it, we always want to be in the Final Four. You know if you go to the Final Four every year there are going to be years when you win it. We want to be in the Final Four and then win it when we can.''
The Westwood girls are in third (42) behind Gatewood (65) and Brentwood (51) and would need a lot of help to climb back to the top of the podium, but they have had a strong showing.
"We've competed well, but you have to give Gatewood and Brentwood credit," Ford said. "They are really doing well in this meet.''
Westwood's boys are in third (54) behind Trinity Christian of Dublin (67) and Brentwood (67).
Dylon Smith was second in the pole vault and Tristan Swan was fourth for Westwood, while J.T. Edore (fifth) and Collier Baggett (seventh) scored in the long jump. Jamie Davis finished second in the shot put and fifth in the discus, and Jacques Irvin was seventh in the shot put. Ridge Collins and his brother Brody Collins finished third and seventh in the high jump.

It was almost surprised to sing "I return my jacket, always on the safe side", when we hear now about the candidate's President Sarkozy. The man who promised faster than his shadow, and applied the motto * Chirac at the foot of the letter adds a layer.
This is the turning of a meeting in Montpellier that the president has cracked a few considerations on education and the school. But what's fun is not so much to identify the contradictions of the man who runs after a new mandate, faster than his shadow, but ignorance of the contemporary world and that education can now demonstrate.
Thus, our president, for at least another few weeks, asserts, with an incredible assurance: "I prefer to structure a school of thought, which raises the spirit, to a school where every child has a digital tablet offered by the board General with taxpayer money, but nobody cares to enjoy books with children. "
Dear President … How you doing here demonstrates a lack of vulgar curiosity as much as interest for the future. And like you we PROVED once again how you can be refractory to technology …
Especially that speech of Montpellier, for this particular passage, began, according to the Nouvel Observatory, for these words: "I am convinced that the Internet era, Victor Hugo, Flaubert, Maupassant, Proust, it is not exceed [...] I am convinced that we can not make a better gift to our children who spend so much time before their screens that make them love books. "
Ah, now that he begins to read, on the advice of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, now gone head librarian of the Elysee, now our president previously reluctant to the idea of opening The Princess of Cleves , would now be convinced by the great novelists of the nineteenth century?
Above all, it would be appropriate to the more carefully gringue publishers, valuing the paper book, and least for OEMs and manufacturers of tablets? It is true that, while attached to tell a little about what goes through his head, Nicolas Sarkozy was in fact offering publishers to form a professional organization, to redeem all FNAC stores, mid-January.
that same president, who had been pinned in the state of the art by Antoine Gallimard, during the Book Fair Brive-la-Gaillarde. It's that man, also president of the National Union of publishers, had lamented, in the middle of the visit of Francois Hollande, Nicolas Sarkozy "never had the time to come to Paris Book Fair."
Yes … So, obviously, how to say that textbook publishers are not the first targeted with these stories of shelves that do not like books or reading?
But that's not all. And finally, the paradoxes of the man always catch the reporter who had hoped to escape: Nicolas Sarkozy does not know what he says, it has to be seen. Because in the Project 2012 proposals of the UMP party he is supposed to embody, represent and defend, what can be read at the ninth entry? "Generalizing all institutions use the digital textbook"
A proposal dated June 28, 2011, of course, and we know, in Sarkolandie, how one year can be volatile. But finally, it is well written as follows:
"In 2009, the Department launched an experimental" digital textbooks and ENT "in 65 colleges from twenty departments equipped with an ENT.
Through specific funds (nearly € 1300 per class), this experience has allowed each college to have access to four digital textbooks. The parliamentary report by Jean-Michel Fourgous said that the digital manual is the culmination of a strong public-private partnership, led between the Ministry of Education, county councils, educational publishers, broadcasting platforms textbooks and vendors of ENT.
The manual provides a new digital pedagogy and promotes a more personalized work of the student. It should lead to better learning, thanks to hyperlinks. This tool also has the advantage, to reduce the weight of school bags for students. "

Cleveland still mired in a world of hurt
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Jul 19, 2010
Browns and former wunderkind coach Eric Mangini told Dan Patrick of Sports Illustrated this week that the quarterback job in Cleveland is "Jake Delhomme's to lose."
To which the only natural response from Browns fans is, "Oh, f*ck me! F*ck me, f*ck me, f*ck me!!!"
The problems with dysfunctional organizations such as Cleveland almost always begin and end at the quarterback position. Teams that field high-quality quarterbacks almost always field playoff contenders. Teams that do not field high-quality quarterbacks always struggle.
And this struggle has been the single greatest issue with the Browns since they reorganized in 1999 with rookie overall No. 1 pick Tim Couch at quarterback. He was the top guy for the better part of five years. But his career was a disaster, and the organization has quite literally never got over the fact that they took Couch instead of Donovan McNabb, who was grabbed by the Eagles with the No. 2 overall pick that year.
The Browns have enjoyed just two winning seasons since 1999, made one playoff appearance and have yet to taste the sweet nectar of a postseason victory during this time.
(Those Eagles fans who never warmed to McNabb, now with the Redskins, should console themselves with wondering what might have been had the Browns left their team with Couch. McNabb was a very good pick in any instance, but a brilliant pick by comparison. Of the 13 quarterbacks drafted that year, only McNabb and Daunte Culpepper made any kind of impact on the NFL.)
Fast forward to 2010, to a Browns team still swimming against the tide in the wake of the sinking of the S.S. Couch, and we're left with a club where, sadly, the QB job is "Jake Delhomme's to lose."
The news couldn't be worse for Cleveland. Now, Delhomme was a fair country quarterback in his day: a former big-game gunslinger who dabbled with the greatest postseason passer rating in history at one point in his career.
But the recent history is not good. He was horrendous in his last playoff appearance (five picks in a 33-13 loss to Arizona in the 2008 postseason). And it marked a portent of things to come in 2009. Delhomme kicked off the year with a four-pick effort against the Eagles – that's nine picks in two consecutive games for those of you keeping score at home. He was finally benched at the end of November following yet another four-INT outing, this one in a loss at the Jets.
And now it seems this is the best the Browns have to offer, at least according to no less an authority than the team's head coach.
So here's a quick overview of the Cleveland quarterback situation as we head into another disastrous season by the lake.
Jake Delhomme (aging gunslinger)
Career numbers: 1630 of 2755 (59.2%), 19,892 yards, 7.2 YPA, 123 TD, 94 INT, 82.1 rating
It's all done. All over for the plucky Delhomme. At 35 years old, he's reached the age where even once Hall of Fame-caliber quarterbacks generally start to decline in performance. He's just a little bit ahead of the curve: hell, we wish we had a big mallet and a gong to smash just so we could have called an end to his performance somewhere much earlier during the 2009 season. He's just holding a spot for a year, but still apparently the best Cleveland has to offer right now.
Colt McCoy (rookie/college phenom from Texas)
Career numbers: n/a
We love Colt McCoy. He got screwed out of both the national title and the Heisman in 2008. He led the Longhorns in both passing and rushing in 2008 and nearly pulled off the feat again last year (he was second on the team in rushing). He's kind of an undersized Tim Tebow, without the hype. Drew Brees, meanwhile, has proven that guys McCoy's size (6-1, 215) can excel in the NFL. He fell to the third round in the draft, despite an incredibly prolific career. If he succeeds in the NFL, it will be as a mobile, undersized high-percentage type in the Joe Montana or later-career Brees mold.
More importantly, McCoy is the only sign of hope at the position for Cleveland right now. Our advice to Browns fans? Pray to the Ghost of Otto Graham over their Colt McCoy bobble-head every night for the rest of the year
Brett Ratliff (who?)
Career numbers: n/a
Ratliff has spent three years in the NFL – two years bumbling around the Jets organization, lets year in Cleveland – and has never attempted a pass. Here's a sign of how insignificant his career has been: he doesn't even show up in the otherwise all-encompassing database at ProFootballReference.com. Apparently, you have to actually exist in the known football world to make their database. At one point during his career at Utah, Ratliff was considered the second coming of Alex Smith. So at least he's got that going for him.
The only thing scarier than having Ratliff on the roster is if Mangini announced "the job is Brett Ratliff's to lose."
Seneca Wallace (pint-sized journeyman)
Career numbers: 333 of 556 (59.9%), 3,547 yards, 6.4 YPA, 25 TD, 14 INT, 83.1 rating.
Wallace has spent five years in Seattle as Matt Hasselbeck's back-up and even has 14 starts under his belt, making him the second-most experienced quarterback on the Cleveland roster. To be honest, he hasn't entirely sucked during his limited time on the field.
His career numbers actually make him the most efficient quarterback on the roster (83.1 rating), though the meager 6.4 YPA in his career speaks to limited effectiveness getting the ball downfield. His 14 career INTs represent about three games worth of work for Delhomme.
So our advice, Mr. Mangini: Start Wallace instead of Delhomme, because the former still has some upside in his career, even if it's only for a year, while Delhomme does not. Use the aging gunslinger to teach McCoy the ropes –but avoid the ropes about throwing five picks in the playoffs. And then slowly work in McCoy, much like Bill Walsh did with another third-round pick, Joe Montana in 1979 and 1980, and hope he fulfills the greatness we saw out of him in college.
Then, only then, when McCoy emerges from the current collection of cast-offs, has-beens and nobodys currently vying for the most important job on the field in Cleveland, will Browns fans find a reason for hope after the past decade of despair.

Thanks to commercials, magazines and runways increasingly featuring plus size models, as celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Michelle Obama and Kim Kardashian simultaneously fess up to their secret Spanx addictions, we can officially celebrate that curves are in Vogue. And Cette's new range of plus size hosiery is the prime example of why
we're celebrating as much as we are.
Fantastic quality, comfortable and affordable plus size hosiery – of course we're celebrating! But wait for the real X Factor of the leading Belgian brand's new luxury leg wear line, the crack-open-the-champagne-we're-celebrating-factor: the fact that these tights are sexy.
Yep you heard right ladies. Cette's new range of plus size hosiery is comfortable and sexy. Browse the full collection in a minute but right now have a little lust after these Cette Paris Plus Size Hold Ups. A subtle shine and a lot of lace scream sex appeal a lot more than a pair of suck-it-all-in-Spanx. While hold ups were previously the domain of salad eating stick insects, in creating a product this sexy and properly fitting for the fuller figured women, Cette are revolutionising the hosiery market for plus size women.
Ask yourself how often you've sacrificed comfort to squeeze your way into another pair of Spanx. I'm going to hazard a guess you don't have enough hands to count on. The result may be that hourglass figure aka Joan Holloway from Mad Men that yes, is sexy for passers by who get to look at you. But do you feel sexy?
There's a time and a place for Spanx, for instance when you want your curves to accommodate the dress of your dreams. But day to day, let's not girdle ourselves ladies; I'm sure Joan would be a lot less stressed in the job if she could breathe. Let's look and feel truly sexy aka Marilyn Monroe with the wind blowing up our dress as we wear a pair of fabulous and properly fitting lacy hold up stockings rather than always resorting to the Adele method aka layering four pairs of Spanx for the "correct" silhouette. A little less of the Bridget Jones-esque scenarios where our embarrassing knickers are uncovered at the end of a night and a touch more of the tantalizing that accompanies fancy, fitted lingerie will do very nicely, thanks Cette!

Pamela Dalton believes in happily-ever-afters. She fell in love with her husband through the letters they exchanged while he was stationed in Fort Knox, KY and she was attending college in the Midwest. Twenty-four hours after they finally went out on their first official date, he popped the question and Pamela said yes. They have been married more than twenty years and have two children.
Pamela served on the Romance Writers of America National Board and was president of Wisconsin Romance Writers. She was an RWA Golden Heart finalist, which led to her first sale. She has since published five novels and is busy writing her next book.

St. Paul, Minn. -- The flood of 2011 in St. Paul began with a trickle of water down city storm drains and a state of emergency.
The state of emergency declaration signed Monday by Mayor Chris Coleman was largely procedural, streamlining the process for hiring contractors and emergency supplies, among other things.
But it sets the stage for what Rick Larkin knows is coming. "We're talking about river levels potentially we haven't seen in 40 plus years," said the city's director of emergency management.
On Tuesday workers will begin erecting more than 9,500 feet of flood wall at Holman Field. In the coming days a temporary clay dike will be laid down on Shepard Road in St. Paul, with another being planned a short distance away near the intersection of Broadway and Kellogg.
City workers will also begin removing benches and lighting from Harriet island, which could well be covered by eight feet of water.
Larkin cites National Weather Service flood forecasts. Those forecasts predict an 80 percent chance of flooding at the 2001 crest of 23.76 feet and a 48 percent chance the river will exceed its all time record high in St. Paul of 26.4 feet set in 1965.
"That's too close to a coin flip for me," said Larkin. "You're talking about 22 additional feet of water in this river if we were to see record levels."
It all means the city is taking precautions -- just like Bim Juhnke. On Monday Juhnke and his wife emptied the basement storage unit in their Upper Landing condominium. Flood water is not expected to reach the seven complexes that make up the make up the Upper Land community. They sit above a flood wall of more than 30 feet. Still, potential basement flooding and loss of sewers has the city warning residents to have an exit plan.
"We've made appropriate steps so far, we have a son and daughter in law living in Roseville," says Juhnke, "so they'll have to put up with us."

This is technically infeasible, if not impossible.
ssh-add needs to ask you for your passphrase. A process can't run in the background ifYes which is why you only check/run it when ssh is used. but the agent is started before.

until it determined it needed your passphrase.
You are talking about ssh-add which is not the same thing and as mentioned above.
If you put this inAgain, ssh-agent works for me across all terminals as well as just in X, it's ssh-add you are talking about here which is
your .profile or whatever other login file, you would never get a
shell prompt until you typed your passphrase. I suppose if you were
in X it could conceivably spawn an X client to pop up a dialog to ask
you for the passphrase, but that could only work in X.
the whole point of the OP's idea, you do not arbitrarily run ssh-add without the need to use it's functionality.
Also, how would ssh know if you didn't have a key for this connection,err, you check for the presence of your ssh key(s). This is very basic programmatic control. Come on.
or if you just hadn't yet typed your passphrase?
If the user had a long passphrase, and made several mistakes typing it, the sshNot likely unless you are a one finger typist in which case I insist you stop using any unix immediately. If you're not using unix or some derivative, but instead using Windows, bad luck but at least it's well suited to your skill level. :-)
connection could time out before you got it right.
Also, the ssh connection is not started until the key is loaded, therefore it will never time out on you. I left this up for 5 mins on time(r) and it didn't time out.
Even if it's technically possible, it's really gross. And for what benefit? SoIt's actually a good point though, your shot is way off. If you have for example, a laptop, you power it up, open a terminal, ah, this stupid secondary prompt is in the way.
you can delay typing your passphrase, which you're going to need to
type eventually anyway?
Which leaves you with 2 options - you can either dismiss it and have an ssh connections fail or ask you pw if this is even allowed, or you can type it and never need it (and if you have a massive 20 character complex passphrase this is not efficient)
Better: If you use ssh, then you put it in once at that time and every future session is automatically using your cached key. If not, then no bother, you never have to put it in. You can check that thing you wanted, power off again, no prompt for big passphrase that you'll never use.
It seems to me trying to hack this in isDepends on how easy it is for you to do, took me literally one minute, but yields years of future convenience. Especially for a laptop which you are always switching on and off but not always using ssh.
totally not worth it.
If you want to delay, just don't run ssh-addEvery time you boot your laptop? Why give yourself the extra work. Not very smart.
until you need to ssh...
The requirements of this feature areOnly if you don't know anything. This is a 1 minute fix in bash.
ridiculously complex,
all to avoid having to type 7 characters (i.e.If you do a lot of stuff, streamlining is good. Repetition is stupid. I am significantly faster than any colleague in my company because of all the customization I have. It's one of the differences between newbies and veterans.
by putting ssh-add in your .profile instead of just typing it when you
know you're going to need it).
I think the OP's idea is perfectly valid. In fact, it so much more valid than your attempt to shoot it down that after a little thinking and your email, I've now implemented a similar solution myself, although I made the bash a bit nicer and in a func instead of alias, but the basic principal is actually ok.

Hi John,
I am a total newbie at JNDI. I want to use JNDI and File System Service Provider. We use tomcat 3.2 and Apache at the company. All the examples that I have seen regarding implementing JNDI is using LDAP server as the service provider. But we dont want to use LDAP we want to use File System instead. What are the basic steps needed to the required configurations. Where and how should I specify the initial system properties like connection pooling and other stuff?
If you can direct me towards a tutorial or any other reading material that can help me (a newbie) in understanding the concepts. Please dont ignore my questions as I have tried a couple of forums but no one replied.... I believe it might be cause of the fact that I might not have framed my question properly. Please let me know if u dont understand my question, I will try to make it better next time
Thanks and Regards

Following its sold out success with A Streetcar Named Desire in 2012, Scottish Ballet returns with another powerful reinterpretation of an all time classic, with a unique version of Romeo & Juliet. Incredibly moving and enduringly relevant, the production was created for Scottish Ballet by Polish choreographer Krzysztof Pastor in 2008, and has since gained status as one of the company's most iconic works.
"Pastor's choreography is slick and vigorous" Sunday Times
Set in the 20th century, this passionate story of forbidden love unfolds in three dramatic acts. Beginning in a monochrome Italian metropolis, Pastor shows a world torn apart by conflict with the aid of archive projection of film of First World War trenches. The second act moves to the sepia-toned 1950s in the wake of Mussolini's Fascist dictatorship. Finally, the third act is set amidst the backdrop of today's warring nations, dominated by the eerie blue light of the television cameras that report 24/7 from the frontline of global wars.
**** "Powerful and gorgeous choreographic expression"" The Guardian
The dancers of Scottish Ballet - for whom the piece was created - bring these iconic roles to life with emotional intensity and breathtaking performances. Romeo & Juliet is set to the world-famous Prokofiev score - performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra.
Roseberry Avenue, Islington

Running time:
14 - 17 May, 2014

We tried it: Mood Magic color changing lipstick
Your first glimpse at Mood Magic lipstick might make you take a step back. When we first opened them up, we thought – "Woah, yellow, green and blue lipstick?!?". We're all about the brightly colored make up, but these seemed more suited to Halloween. But after applying the shades, you'll see that they go on clear and then begin to change into a different color – your perfect color, in fact. The lipstick works with your body to become your perfect shade of pink (green), mauve (blue), or coral (yellow). They also contain Aloe Vera to soften and moisturize lips, so you'll get the benefits of a pretty color and softness. Our testers tried out all three shades and loved the flattering colors that resulted!

- Rooftop Solar is as green as it gets. Every kilowatt hour of solar you generate replaces electricity that might otherwise come from burning coal or other fossil fuels.
- Install Delaware-made panels. You can choose to install Motech panels that are made right here in Delaware.
- Support local business. The Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club is the only Chapter that engaged in its own proposal process to select a Delaware-based company for the Solar Homes Program. We are proud to announce our partnership with the Delaware-based company Flexera.
- Up front information. The Sierra Club has done much of the homework for you, offering solar homes workshops that explain everything that you would want or need to know with our trusted partner Flexera.
- Lease options make solar affordable. You can install solar without taking out a loan or putting money down on the panels. A long term lease contract can get you up and running right away.
- Reduce your overall energy consumption. Bundle your solar installation with a home energy audit, and make those solar kilowatt hours go even further.
- Make your own "peak" power. By generating energy when we need it most (during the peak hours of the day), solar electricity prevents the stress on our electric grid that causes blackouts or the use of natural gas peaking plants.
