Fayette reviews bids for prison design
Fayette County has received four responses to a request seeking qualifications for architectural services in what could be an initial step toward building a prison.
County officials opened the firms' sealed packages on Thursday, after the deadline for submissions had passed.
The firms include Astorino and Pieper O'Brien Herr Architects, both of Pittsburgh, and L.R. Kimball of Ebensburg. Two firms submitted a joint qualifications package, Sleighter Engineering of Uniontown and Crabtree Rohrbaugh Associates of Mechanicsburg.
In addition to designing a new prison, the four were the only respondents to a separate request for qualifications to remodel an existing structure for use as a temporary women's lockup. A former kindergarten facility on Iowa Street in Uniontown has been identified as a potential location for the temporary jail.
Commissioner Al Ambrosini said he, Controller Sean Lally and two members of a prison working group will review the submissions. All firms will be interviewed, he said, and the group will then pass its recommendations on to the full board of commissioners.
Commissioners could vote to retain one of the firms when they meet later this month, Ambrosini said.
Although commissioners have not yet voted to build a new jail, the prison board has recommended that the county do so. The prison board based its recommendation on a needs-assessment study performed by Crabtree Rohrbaugh and Sleighter Engineering.
The needs-assessment study found that building a jail in Dunbar Township, near the fairgrounds, is the least costly alternative to alleviate overcrowding.
Lally has said the county is on track to spend $1 million to board inmates in other counties to prevent overcrowding at the jail in Uniontown.
The study estimated the cost for a new jail at $27 million to $32 million.
Ambrosini said each firm will be evaluated on a number of factors, including a comparison of the firms' projected costs for various facilities to the final costs of each project. Another factor to be reviewed, he said, are daily, per-inmate costs of each firm's recent prison projects.
The firms were not asked to submit fee proposals for their services, but Ambrosini said they should fall between 7 percent and 8 percent of the cost of the facility. He said the firms' fees will not be the deciding factor in making a recommendation to commissioners.
"It's not the important part of the process," Ambrosini said. "The important part is, how efficient is the design."
Ambrosini said he wants to have each firm evaluated and interview in time for commissioners to consider retaining one by their Oct. 15 meeting.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) A Colorado Springs man is facing charges after his 4-year old daughter was found wandering along a highway on Tuesday.
Police say Ryan Kauffman is facing a misdemeanor child abuse charge stemming from the incident.
The girl was found near a highway in her pajamas and police sent out an alert.
The girl's father later called police saying he'd just awakened from a nap and saw his daughter's picture on the news.

Jennie Garth Goes Makeup-Free, Wears Hoodie for Boyfriend Jeremy Salken's Band Big Gigantic
New love looks good on Jennie Garth! The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 40, let her natural beauty shine through this week while killing time on the set of her new movie, Home Again.
PHOTOS: Beverly Hills, 90210 stars, then and now
The star, who split from Twilight actor Peter Facinelli in March 2012 after 11 years of marriage, is in Toronto, Canada, filming with Cameron Mathison. On Thursday, Jan. 31, she was photographed walking around sans makeup, outfitted casually in black pants and a black hoodie with the words Big Gigantic printed on the front.
Big Gigantic is the name of the indie instrumental group for which Garth's boyfriend, Jeremy Salken, is the drummer. The lovebirds met at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas in October and have been quietly seeing each other ever since. Salken, 31, is the actress' first serious relationship since the end of her marriage to Facinelli, with whom she shares daughters Luca, 15, Lola, 10, and Fiona, 6.
PHOTOS: Jennie's life as a mom
"He's very easygoing and chill," a source told Us Weekly of the Colorado-based rocker. "They're smitten."
Facinelli, for his part, is said to also be smitten -- with his Nurse Jackie co-star Jaimie Alexander. The couple were spotted packing on the PDA at an after-party for the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 28.

Where a debtor converts the underlying bankruptcy case from one under Chapter 7 to one under Chapter 13 before the deadline for filing an answer to a 727 complaint objecting to discharge,the conversion does not moot the 727 cause of action. Rather, it renders that cause of action dormant. The appropriate disposition of the 727 adversary proceeding is for the court to stay the proceedings and close the adversary case, subject to a motion to reopen in the event that the underlying bankruptcy case reconverts to one under Chapter 7.
Equitable remand of removed state court litigation was not ordered when case involved core bankruptcy proceeding and interpretation of bankruptcy court's confirmation order. Plaintiff's request for a jury trial, if appropriate, could be accommodated.
Even though adversary proceeding involved alleged violation of state statute, mandatory abstention was not appropriate for core proceeding and when there was no pending state court action, and permissive abstention was denied when bankruptcy court would be called upon to interpret its confirmation order.
Chapter 13 debtor who voluntarily dismissed previous bankruptcy case in which secured creditors had moved for relief from the automatic stay was not eligible to be a debtor under sec. 109(g)(2). (This decision is a court minute decision, only.)
Chapter 7 trustee initiated an adversary proceeding seeking a determination that debtor's interest in a trust was "property of the estate" and for turnover of the trust corpus for administration as an asset of the estate. The spendthrift provision restricted only involuntary transfer of debtor's interest, not voluntary transfer of debtor's interest, and therefore, the debtor had an absolute right to immediate payment of the principal, without restrictions. Accordingly, the court held that the trust did not contain a valid spendthrift clause under Arizona law, and, debtor's interest in such trust was property of the bankruptcy estate. The adversary proceeding was dismissed and the trustee of the trust was ordered to turn over debtor's beneficial interest in the trust corpus to the chapter 7 trustee for administration.
Court abstained from exercising jurisdiction over funds related to state court receivership.
Chapter 7 trustee objected to the debtor's claim of exemption in a lien on his former marital home, executed by his former spouse, in partial settlement of their divorce proceedings eight years prior to the bankruptcy filing. The court sustained the objection, finding the debtor lost his right to claim either a federal or state homestead exemption.
Pleguar entered into an asset purchase agreement with debtors' LLC to be paid over an 8-year period. Under the terms of the agreement, intangibles, rather than physical assets, comprised approximately 96% of the value. 6-years into the agreement, the debtors defaulted. When Pleguar sued both the LLC and the debtors personally in state court, the LLC ceased business operations, but in an effort to find re-employment for its employees, transferred some of its intangibles to JHB, a competitor of Pleguar. The debtors then filed a joint personal voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. Pleguar instituted this adversary proceeding for denial of debtors' discharge. The court held that debtors did not act with actual fraudulent intent in transferring to competitor LLC's intangibles, precluding denial of discharge on grounds that debtors fraudulently transferred or concealed property. The court also held that omission from debtors' bankruptcy schedules of such transfer did not warrant denial of discharge on grounds that debtors made false oath in relation to their bankruptcy case. Finally, the court held that denial of discharge was not warranted on grounds that debtor "gave, offered, received, or attempted to obtain money, property, or advantage, or a promise of money, property, or advantage, for acting or forbearing to act." The adversary proceeding was dismissed, and the debtors were granted a discharge.
Secured creditor filed an objection to confirmation of the chapter 13 debtors' plan, arguing the financing of the negative equity on the debtors' used trade-in vehicle was included in the financing of their new vehicle purchase, resulting in its claim being protected from cram down under sec. 1325(a). The debtors argued the negative equity resulting from the trade-in of their old vehicle was not part of the purchase money security interest, and was thus not subject to the 910-day rule imposed by the hanging paragraph in sec. 1325(a). The court sustained the creditor's objection, concluding the entire amount of the debt securing the new vehicle met the definition of purchase money security interest.


text: As organizers prepared for the opening of the Santa Cruz Film Festival, an award-winning Los Angeles filmmaker and his crew visited locations throughout Santa Cruz County, capturing interviews and images relevant to the memory of Eduardo Carrillo, a prolific painter and muralist who taught at UC Santa Cruz from 1972 until his death in 1997. During his lifetime, Carrillo painted constantly and exhibited widely, often in the context of the Chicano movement, which exerted much of its newfound voice through the arts. Carrillo's art has now found new audiences, thanks to the devotion of his widow, Alison, who, along with many friends and former students, established a virtual museum, the Museo Eduardo Carrillo, to preserve and promote Carrillo's work. The Museo exists on the Web; a scholarship in Carrillo's name supports young talent; his paintings now rotate through a permanent gallery at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento where a full-scale retrospective is planned for 2013, and now a feature-length documentary about his life will assure that the artist takes his proper place in history.

The United States is behind Apophis.
reply to post by Bassago
That is a possibility but remember that these programs ARE put out by private companies and writen by private writers so it would have to be the opinions of those people that are being conveyed by such programs not necessarily the government per se. It does beg the question if the writers and company CEOs were conditioned to think that or are they conditioning others to think that? I agree with your statement just wondering where such an agenda would have originated the government; writers, or the producer`s company?
To disclose this would result in wide spread panic & pandemonium. So again just common sense.
Even if this hadn't happened, how would you regulate use of one Gate, between billions of people who would almost certainly want a piece of the action.
To be honest even if this travel was possible in reality, and we had such Stargates, it probably wouldn't be wise to alert the public.

Ooh, cool! I need to give that pattern another chance with more sturdy fabric. I used a linen blend and quilting cotton for the lining, and it was so floppy and disappointing. These give me new hope for the pattern that I wrote off as "probably won't ever try again." Might have to rethink that one.

Actually that one looks like it has a full tonal range to me. A full tonal range is when the ares of the print that should be very dark are indeed very dark and when areas that should be very light with just a bit of texture are indeed very light and have just a bit of texture. Your negative for the Peyton school looks to have been about right to me to do that.Originally Posted by scootermm
As for film, if Efke 25 or 50 is available to you in 7X17 format those would be good films for devloping lots of contrast for VDB. Efke 100 is also pretty good, as is FP4+. I would leave films like JandC 200 and 400, HP5+, and TRI-X at home, though, if shooting for VDB. The only time they will give enough contrast is when the sun is out.

This collection includes the patterns for three of my hats – Caller Herrin', Neepheid, and Tantallon – all of which are, in one way or another, inspired by the landscape, culture and history around me in Edinburgh and the Lothians. The hats are knitted using the traditional Scottish technique of stranded colourwork.
Wowza, great idea!!
Very, very nice – gorgeous work, as always!
Smart! Your colorways are inspiring, Kate, as is your sense of pattern and tradition.
Huzzah! My christmas list has begun! :) Perhaps two of my favorite hats (and a third I somehow missed).

Pawn shops often carry guns
If you want an electric device for your handyman or perhaps the craftsman inside your household but your budget is not boundless, it is probable to find deals if you know where-to look. Describe the reason why you are asking for the financial amount, which may range from the guitar's importance, the way much you actually paid for it and issue. Perform with the guitar you to ultimately show how it sounds, in the event the pawn dealer doesn't play guitar.
Pawn stores are the ideal destination for a offer your stuff rapidly like I claimed inside the first lines. The assumption of the reality television show is actually a family-owned pawn shop in Nevada. Consequently, you consider your family items to your local pawnshop of raising that cash, inside Phoenix Pawn Shops the expectations. I have been skeptical to go into pawn shops, like there's some a real income that can be created nevertheless it appears.
All of the things you can offer may range from car parts, appliances, electronic products (computers, gaming programs, cellphones), CDs/DVDs, gadgets, exceptional jewelry (gold chains, brooches, scrap platinum, watches, etc.), musical instruments, and hard to find components of good-value.
Often many rich persons as well as celebrities experience financially a down economy temporarily, in these conditions the might have to turn to their boxes as a way to get money to tide them of these tough periods.
The people include the Les Gold who works Ashley and a sizable pawnshop in Detroit together with the help of his two children Seth. The people contain Harrison, who possesses a pawn shop in Las Vegas and lives along with his family. The line depicts the interaction between the haggling of charges and also the shopkeeper, the shoppers along with the conversations on the historic background of the item offered or ordered. Rings, earrings, charms, bracelets, watches, bottom rings – you identify it, a pawnshop accepting jewelry has it.
You will have the agreed upon moment to go back towards the pawnshop to settle the money; otherwise, your product will be officially owned by the pawn shop. Likewise, artificially bolstering your value goes the chance of offending in dealing with you, the broker, that might produce him. When you believe it is why your merchandise is not as important look at here several pawn brokers will attempt to tell you. Get just of "guidance" having a grain of sodium. You will also want to ask when the pawn shop will probably charge a fee more money as awareness.

Irvine's fantastic epic fantasy trilogy concludes as it started — with blood and magic. He puts the marvelous final touches on his saga with signature complex worldbuilding, a narrative that flows effortlessly, dialogue that has hints of the fantastic yet is intelligible to all readers and characters who are rendered flawlessly. Irvine is truly a master of his craft and this is one incredible, absorbing series that should be read from beginning to end.
The reemergence of legendary combatants brings with it the imbalance of the Great Engine that regulates the land of Hightspall's elements, turning her once fertile fields red with blood and battle carnage. Hightspall's only chance to endure lies with a ragtag insurgent army of traitors, slaves and misfits led by Rix Deadhand, who, against innumerable odds — including being outnumbered by the Five Heroes Herovian army and out-armed by the magery of King Lyf's Cythonian army — must prepare his troops for the final epic battle. The stakes couldn't be higher: Emerging the victor means seeing justice served and healing Hightspall's land and her people. (ORBIT, Jun. , 656 pp., $17.00)

Superstitions and Bad Luck Signs
Superstitions have existed for centuries and many of these exist today. Here are some of the most common ones, some of which are still around today.
Black cats
For the ancient Egyptians Cats were holy, if you killed a cat it would be considered as a crime. Cats were even mummified. Romans too considered cats as holy. So how did black cats get such a bad image?
During the middle ages witch hunts became a common, women who were accused of being witches were burnt at the stake. There was a belief of the locals that a witch kept a 'familiar'- small creatures which helped witches cast spells. These animals included frogs, birds, snakes and of course cats.
Television, films and even cartoons often show witches with black cats. Particularly evil ones.
Nowadays in some countries black cats are associated with both good and bad luck. In the USA and some European countries its seen as bad luck if a black cat walks by whereas in the UK and Japan having a black cat cross your path is believed to bringing good luck.
Spilling salt
An old superstition about spilling salt is that it will bring you bad luck. In order to make sure all is well you will need to throw a pinch of salt over your shoulder.
This may seem a little odd but at one time salt was very costly and rare. So of course it was seen as bad to waste it. Another reason is for religious purposes. Salt was mixed with food used in religious events in Greek and Roman traditions. In one painting Judas is shown spilling salt.
Breaking a mirror
Breaking a mirror is thought to bring you seven years worth of bad luck. In some cases it might be the reason for a death in the family. In order to protect yourself or your family you will need to wait for seven hours, pick up the pieces and bury in the ground.
In ancient beliefs if your reflection was misshapen or distorted it was a sign of disaster in the near future. People believed that the image in the mirror, our reflection, was in fact our soul.
The reason why it is seven years bad luck is because of ancient Roman beliefs. The Romans believed that after every seven years man's body would become physically invigorated.
Friday the 13th
Number 13 is seen as an unlucky number but Friday the 13th is even worse. The reason why is mainly due to religious beliefs. Jesus died on a Friday and Adam was tempted by Eve on Friday. Also the floods mentioned in the bible took place on Friday.
Many people fear Friday the 13th so much so that they refuse to leave their homes. There is even an official name for the fear of Friday the 13th, it's called paraskavedekatriaphobia.
Every culture and every group of people have their own superstitions and bad luck signs. Sometimes what is seen as something bad in one culture can be seen as something good in another. Whether we believe in them or not these superstitions have fascinated many people.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
26 Jan 2012 11:30 GMT | Health
Back in the day, the Soviet Union had a newspaper called Pravda, which is the Russian word for 'truth'.
The paper's propaganda was about as subtle as its title. Since then, political systems and ideologies have changed, but in 2005 when the Kremlin was getting back into the news business, it created Russia Today, or RT, as it is now known.
RT is an international news channel set up to rival Western news channels and to provide a Russian perspective.
The network has since added two more channels, broadcasting in Spanish and Arabic. RT's English-language project is getting mixed reviews. Its criticism of Washington's political agenda is relentless and it has a penchant for off-beat stories and conspiracy theories.
Listening Post's Ana de Sousa looks at a channel that often seems more interested in reviving the Cold War than reporting what is really happening in Russia today.
"I think one of Russia Today's big strengths is the West is in a mess, there is no doubt about it. They love any sign of protest and systemic weakness in the West is great for them. The core of Russia Today is anti-Westernism ... you get these kind of silly stories about pets that can talk and just ludicrous sort of feel good stories, while turning a complete blind eye to the, I would say, rather more serious problems such as lack of democracy, rule of law, collapsing infrastructure and the rest of it in Russia itself."

Our baby #3 at two weeks old!
We need to apologize to all our family and friends for taking so long to post pictures of our newest addition to our family. Our difficulty naming her really threw us off.

We call her "Ella Skye"Here are some of our favorites shots from a photo shoot our friend Nita took for us! Continue reading
Moscow's Renaissance Fair 2014
One of the best things about Moscow is the "Ren Fair – Moscow's Celebration of Spring," each year at the beginning of May.
This year some highlights were the May Poll, the kid's stage, the ropes course, the arts tent, the awesome vendors that come from all over the nation to sell their goods, the yummy ethnic food vendors, and…..Fairy House creation station. Hannah spent a couple hours making multiple fairy houses under the trees in East City Park.
Here are some pictures of her fairy house and some others she liked (she actually had me take pictures of each one she was so thrilled with it all).
Hannah and I created this one together. It was a really fun thing to do together :)
This was a clever idea, dried orange peels for little mushrooms!
This Fair House was a joint creation by Hannah, Kaiya, Dad and Mom.
Kaiya made this flag at her Gold Mountain pre-school. It was flying high at the kid's sand-pit at the Fair.
And of course, last by not at all least, is the dragon that is there every year and was created for the parade. It's up for the kids to run through it's body for the whole fair. It's magical for sure. Mike and I comment every year that this fair has been created by all the hippies in town. We can't help but wonder if it will continue when all the hard core hippies of Moscow pass away. They make Moscow the magical and colorful place that we love so much.
Why I don't need a pregnancy test to know I'm pregnant
Right after my first month I start to notice the following and connect the dots….
- I get a weird zit on my face somewhere
- I find myself nauseous if I lay on my tummy to sleep
- I can't get comfortable in bed and I realize I have 5 pillows and Mike has 1
- I wake up gagging from a horrible smell, and then realize it's my own breath!
- I wake up in the middle of the night itchy all over, especially my lower legs!
- I wonder why I'm getting up to go pee in the night again and then realize it's every 3 hours on the dot. Seriously annoying!
- I find myself protecting my stomach (from accidental bumps from the girls, getting in and out of the car etc.)
- I get really cold really easily and shiver alot
- I can sleep for 12 hours straight (except for getting up every 3 hours to pee) and still crave more sleep
- Then "morning sickness" hits….who ever named it morning sickness by the way?? It's 24/7 sickness, like having the flu, a stomach ache and mono at the same time
- My friend catches me in the Co-op drinking three different tummy drinks all at the same time…a "good belly" probiotic juice, a "momma Chia seed" drink AND Keifer
- I pep-talk myself past a guy who's shirt says bacon strips 5 times…."it's ok, don't read the shirt, keep breathing and just keep walking…."
- My nose suddenly has super capabilities so that wherever I go, I try not to smell anything. Everything smells repulsive, from the food wafting out of someone's house as I walk by, to walking into a restaurant or grocery store
- Nothing sounds appealing to eat so I find myself in a constant state of torture….I know I need to eat every hour so I don't feel so nausious that I can't eat, but I can't find anything I want to eat that doesn't make me feel nausious at the thought of eating it. Bread – nope, candy – nope, fruit – not usually, chips or anything deep fried – gag me. The only thing I enjoy eating on a regular basis is milk.
- For the only time in my life I want to drink multiple glasses of cows milk a day, and night (helps with the nausea, especially at night)
- I have the weirdest, scariest and most vivid dreams, like I'm in a movie theater…and I hate scary movies!
- I start asking questions like "why is God so mean?" and "why can't the men at least feel a little sick too?" and "If people felt this sick in real life they would be in bed all day!"
- I look around my totally messy house and find I don't care. It's called survival mode…just take care of the critical
- I keep looking at the calender wondering how quickly 3 months can pass
- Tears come to my eyes as I thank Mike for all his help as I'm fully aware I couldn't do this on my own
Yup, this is an official announcement :)…
Lowry Baby #3 will be born if things continue to go this well (hopefully better than these first 3 months) around August 10th 2014.
Our girls are thrilled at the thought of having a baby in our house so that makes it great. We had a dance party when they found out because they were jumping around shouting and hooting for joy! Meanwhile Mike and I would look at each other and get weepy. This pregnancy was not planned and was a complete surprise so it's a sudden mental shift to think of all the myriad of effects this little one will have on our next year.
We don't know the gender yet but the ultrasound showed healthy baby this week so that is always a wonderful thing to see!
Christmas 2013
Christmas 2013 was magical for our two little girls.
This year we decided to stay home rather than make the usual long drive to see extended family. It was so restful and exactly what our family needed. Although we missed seeing everyone, we we were happy to have a peaceful Christmas at home. We filled the time together with laughing and playing. Here is a run down of all that we did during the holiday.
To start the Christmas season Mike and I arranged for a baby sitter so we could go on a date to the University Christmas performance. The highlight was a couple who have been playing piano duets for 35 years. They moved as one. It was awe inspiring. (I just had to include a video, but you might want to skip to the more fun tubing videos below).
The holiday for the kids started with a trip to the library so we could stock up on Christmas books and movies.
We made a gingerbread Santa Claus with four Rudolfs!
After setting out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer we went to bed under the tree (Kaiya says Santa has magic powers to keep everyone asleep while he makes his deliveries).
Kaiya woke up once at about 3am and discovered Santa had already come. She was so excited and was earnestly waking everyone up. She was very good to listen to us when we said she needed to wait until sunrise.
Hannah was the first to wake up in the morning. Mike told her she could only look in her stocking and wait to open her other gifts after Kaiya and I woke up. We were shocked with how patient and obedient our girls were on this very exciting morning. We were also very impressed with how grateful and enthusiastic they were with all their gifts. They loved everything they received and loved giving their gifts to Mom, Dad, and each other just as much as receiving their own gifts. It was truly surprising. Who knows how many more Christmases will be this easy! The morning was calm and peaceful because the first gifts they opened were "magic" coloring books that kept their attention for almost an hour! I played the piano while Mike snoozed on the couch until the girls were ready to move on to the next gift. Great job Santa that was a hit! Hannah's next favorite gift was chewing gum in her stocking. The wonderful simplicity of kids at this age. :)
Kaiya's favorite gift was her beautiful new Christmas dress and an umbrella.
They also loved the Fairy house they received from their cousin Abby.
At lunch we went to a cookie party at the neighbor's house and delivered gifts to friends, including a brussel sprout tree to our friends the Johnsons.
The next day we went for a winter walk and found an icy pond to play on.
We went to Snowhaven our new favorite local ski hill. It is only an hour and half away and $25 for a full day of skiing and tubing! (5 yrs and under free) We stayed at the "Superb 8" which was recommended by a friend. The girls loved the pool and hotub.
Mike and Hannah spent the entire first day tubing. Hannah loved every run and never seemed to get tired or cold. She just wanted more and faster! She loved the jump and trying to pick things up off the slope on the way down.
Hannah's reaction was this excited each time! This is a great video:
They went tubing from 11am – 4pm! Unfortunately Kaiya was sick from swallowing chlorine in the swimming pool the night before. She and I spent the afternoon resting in the hotel.
Kaiya learned her lesson… she can't "breathe" under water.
The next day Hannah tried skiing. She spent the morning with ski-instructor Mom and the afternoon with ski-instructor Dad.
By the end of the day when Kaiya wanted to try going really slow, Hannah felt she could be the instructor.
Back at home the girls and I had a great time with another Christmas gift – Shrinky Dinks.
We took the girls to see their first movie in a theater this holiday. It was so fun to hear them laugh and cheer out loud in the theater. At the final climatic kiss scene Kaiya yelled out "Whoo hoo!" As we were walking out a women said our girls excitement made the movie for them.
It was a great Christmas, and like our girls, we look forward to next year!

How can I choose different line to read instead first line, using fgetl() formula?
Thank you.
No products are associated with this question.
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/297814 may be of some help. Unless you are constrained to using fgetl() for some reason,
C = textscan(fid, '%s','delimiter', '\n'); % Setup the line number in LineNum, RelevantLine=C{1}{Linenum};
should do the trick.
I agree with Walter that this stores the entire file into the cell array, and isn't technically skipping lines. You could possibly choose more lines by using strcat on C{1}{LineNum1} and C{1}{LineNum2}.
There is no method at the operating system level to position by line. The operating system itself uses fgetl() (or fgets()) to move forward by lines. MATLAB does not provide any "wrapper" over fgetl() to support skipping lines.

Muslim American Youth: Understanding Hyphenated Identities through Multiple Methods
(New York University Press, 2008)
For those seeking to understand how Muslim youth and other groups of immigrant youth negotiate their identities as Americans, this book provides a much needed roadmap. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent war on terror, growing up Muslim in the U.S. has become a far more challenging task for young people. They must contend with popular cultural representations of Muslim-men-as-terrorists and Muslim-women-as-oppressed, the suspicious gaze of peers, teachers, and strangers, and police, and the fierce embodiment of fears in their homes. With great attention to quantitative and qualitative detail, the authors provide heartbreaking and funny stories of discrimination and resistance, delivering hard to ignore statistical evidence of moral exclusion for young people whose lives have been situated on the intimate fault lines of global conflict, and who carry international crises in their backpacks and in their souls. Michelle Fine is a distinguished professor of psychology, urban education, and liberal studies at the Graduate Center.

Powder Springs (Ga.) Hillgrove High School athlete Jordan Marshall plans to forgo his senior year of running track and focus on getting bigger and stronger for the next level, which for Marshall, appears to be playing Division I football."I'm at 165 pounds now, so I want to get to about 175-180 pounds by the time I get to college," says Marshall.With offers from all three of the service academies (Army, Air Force & Navy) along with Georgia State, the swift running back/wide receivers is now looking to schedule his official visits."I haven't set up my visits yet, but looking to do so this month," says Marshall, who shared that the Black Knights are showing him the most attention."Army is recruiting me the hardest. I spoke to Coach Holmes (Clarence) a couple of days ago. He came down for a school visit and he gave me a call a few days later. It was a good visit and telling me all about the football program, along with the commitment after I graduation."Although Marshall's primary role for Hillgrove was wide receiver, he knows that Army would have different plans for him offensively and that works well for the speedy prospect."He (Holmes) talked to me about what position they want me to play, which is the "A" back ... slot back position," says Marshall, who says that he has been told that he runs like Dexter McCluster. "I played that (slotback) in middle school so it's cool, although I played receiver in high school."The LeaderWhen asked if there was a leader when it comes to his recruiting, Marshall shared that he had a number 1 & 2."Air Force is probably my second favored after Army," declares Marshall, who indicated that he will probably make my decision right before signing day. "West Point is the best school in the nation and rated number one and from an education stand point, I like that Army better than the other two (Navy & Air Force)."Social NetworkingMarshall shared with GoBlackKnights.com that he has been following Army's recruiting through Rivals.com and more specifically, GBK. "A couple of recruits that have committed to Army like Cedrik Bell have added me on Facebook and trying to get me to commit and come there," he adds.

This is a passage from Technique's Marginal Centrality by Clive James, published in Poetry Magazine January 2012. Very interesting and applicable.
At the court of the Shogun Iyenari, it was a tense moment. Hokusai, already well established as a prodigiously gifted artist, was competing with a conventional brush-stroke painter in a face-off judged by the shogun personally. Hokusai painted a blue curve on a big piece of paper, chased a chicken across it whose feet had been dipped in red paint, and explained the result to the shogun: it was a landscape showing the Tatsuta River with floating red maple leaves. Hokusai won the competition. The story is well known but the reaction of the conventional brush-stroke artist was not recorded. It's quite likely that he thought Hokusai had done not much more than register an idea, or, as we would say today, a concept. A loser's view, perhaps; though not without substance. If Hokusai had spent his career dipping chickens in red paint, he would have been Yoko Ono.
But Hokusai did a lot more, and the same applies to ever artist we respect, in any field: sometimes they delight us with absurdly simple things, but we expect them to back it up with plenty of evidence that they can do complicated things as well. And anyway, on close examination the absurdly simple thing might turn out to be achieved not entirely without technique. Late in his career Picasso would take ten seconds to turn a bicycle saddle and a pair of handlebars into a bull's head and expect to charge you a fortune for it, but when he was sixteen he could paint a cardinal's full-length portrait that looked better than anything ever signed by Velazquez. You can't tell, just from looking at the bull's head, that it was assembled by a hand commanding infinities of know-how, but you would have been able to tell, from looking at Hokusai's prize-winning picture, that a lot of assurance lay behind the sweep of blue paint, and that he had professionally observed floating red maple leaves long enough to know that the prints of a chicken's red-painted feet would resemble them, as long as the chicken could be induced to move briskly and not just hang about making puddles.
When we switch this test apparatus to poetry, we arrive quickly at a clear division between poets who are hoping to achieve something by keeping technical considerations out of it, and other poets who want to keep technique out of it because they don't have any. R.F. Langley, one of the school of poets around Jeremy Prynne, died recently. As adept of that school, he had put many dedicated years into perfection the kind of poem whose integrity depends on its avoiding any hint of superficial attraction. Part of one of his poems was quoted in the tribute by the Guardianobituarist, himself an affiliate of the Prynne cenacle. It was instantly apparent that the poet had succeeded in all his aims:
We leave unachieved in the
summer dusk. There are no
maps of moonlight. We find
peace in the room and don't
ask what won't be answered.
Impeccably bland, resolutely combed for any hint of the conventionally poetic, its lack of melody exactly matched by its lack of rhythm, Langley's poem had shaken off all trace of the technical heritage, leaving only the question of whether to be thus unencumbered is a guarantee of novelty. Hard not to think of how far modern poetry has come since T.S. Eliot continually improved his technical command in order to make his effects by leaving it unemphasized, a vastly different approach to the question:
They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.
-From Morning at the Window
To write a stanza like that, with no end-rhymes but with a subtle interplay of interior echoes, we tend to assume that the poet needed to be able to write the rhymed stanzas of "Sweeney Among the Nightingales," and then sit on the knowledge. At the time it was written, even the most absolute of enthusiasts for modern poetry would have hesitated to point out the truth - that the stanza was held together by its rhythmic drive - unless he further pointed out that it was also held together by the sophisticated assiduity with which it didn't rhyme. In other words, the whole of English poetry's technical heritage was present in Eliot's work, and never more so than when it seemed free in form.

Setting up Sunspot/Solr for OR queries, stemming and lower memory usageJanuary 6, 2011 1:15 pm 8 Comments
As I keep finding in Rails 3, the Gems I used in Rails 2 no longer work or have fallen out of favor. In Rails 2 acts_as_ferret met my searching needs but after submitting some fixes for Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9.2, I was still having issues so I moved on to Sunspot.
One of the 1st things I wanted to change with Sunspot was to make the default boolean operator OR. This means when someone searches for "car window" they will get results that match car or window.
Not being a Solr expert my 1st thought was that all I needed to do was change
<solrQueryParser defaultOperator="AND"/>
<solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/>
But it didn't work. After some research and digging through the logs I learned that Sunspot is using the dismax request handler. To make a long story short, dismax ignores the defaultOperator and uses a minimum_match field. The good news here is that setting this field to 1 in your search query is easy and gives you the same function as defaultOperator="OR".
In your controller your search would look something like this.
@articles = Article.search do keywords(actual_search) {minimum_match 1} end
Next thing I wanted was for car searches to return results for cars and other stems. This required a 1 line change in schema.xml
In the <analyzer> block just add <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English" />
<analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StandardFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English" /> </analyzer>
Finally, because the model I am searching is small and Java eats quite a bit of memory I wanted to reduce the Solr server's memory footprint. This may come back to bite me as my dataset grows but for now this is working fine. To adjust the memory parameters used when using rake sunspot:solr:start just edit your sunspot.yml file and add min_memory and max_memory lines.
development: solr: hostname: localhost port: 8982 log_level: DEBUG min_memory: 64M max_memory: 64M
This will result in -Xms64M -Xmx64M being sent to java on startup.

Hey Tony, thanks a lot for this blogpost!
I was trying to set up Solr with the AND query you're describing, but it didn't work by changing the solrconfig. {minimum_match 1} fixed it, so that's really cool!
Hello, thank you for this article. I wanted OR in query too without success. This article helped me.
Wow Thank you very very much for this!
Amazing. Just the two things I've been scouring the web for. Where do you go to find this stuff? I can't find a good API reference anywhere.
Thanks a lot man… I was just about to build 10 dismaxes for 10 different languages. This saved me a lot of work as a user experience after all is not so bad 😀
Thanks a lot, this info saved me a lot of time.
I need to search each and every keyword using rails sunspot solr,But lots of problem solving it.
Here is my SO link which describes my problem can you solve it.

Barbarism in Philadelphia
The crimes of Kermit Gosnell
Apr 29, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 31 • By JON A. SHIELDS
Third, the liberal position on killing abortion survivors makes a bizarre kind of moral sense. After all, what is the moral difference between killing an 8-month-old human being in the womb and killing it in the bright light of an operating room? And if there is a difference, can it bear the moral weight of the death penalty? If Gosnell is executed for his abortion practices, it would seem to be because he didn't pump enough lethal digoxin into the hearts of his victims before they were born.
In fact, Gosnell did sometimes try to inject digoxin into the hearts of fetuses, as is standard practice in third-trimester abortions. But he wasn't very good at it. He was an inefficient, unskilled killer. That was his crime. And if Gosnell failed to notice a moral distinction between killing a 30-week-old fetus in the womb and slitting that same infant's neck after it passed through the birth canal, can anyone really blame him? He is in good company. Justice John Paul Stevens, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg concurring, wrote in the 2000 partial-birth abortion case of Stenberg v. Carhart:
Had Kermit Gosnell found a second physician to back him up and then killed the third-trimester fetuses before they passed through the birth canal, he would have committed no crime under Roe and Doe or the laws of Pennsylvania. The grand jury never wrapped its mind around this chilling fact. Instead, the jurors turned their attention to recommendations for preventing "future Dr. Gosnells."
Sensibly, the grand jury proposes annual inspections of abortion clinics. The oversight of Gosnell's clinic was appallingly bad, even though his misdeeds were well known. Because of that neglect, Gosnell "made little effort to hide his illegal abortion practice."
But the regulations serve the interests of adult patients, not late-term fetuses. Proper oversight would have compelled Gosnell to improve the quality of his care for mothers. Fetuses, however, could still be killed—can still be killed—in Pennsylvania at any stage and for any reason two doctors are willing to describe as relevant to the well-being of the mother.
Insofar as late-term fetuses are protected at all, it is not because the Supreme Court allows states the option of placing a few minor restrictions on the actions of abortionists. Instead, viable fetuses—those that can survive outside the womb—are protected only by the moral sensibilities of abortionists.
Not every abortionist is a Gosnell—far from it. In fact, most doctors exercise restraint. Their moral sense, rooted in their human nature, compels them to sympathize with fetuses who resemble newborns. Many abortionists limit their practice to relatively early abortions precisely because they feel such sympathy. The pro-choice activist and feminist physician Susan Wicklund recently explained her decision to restrict her practice after observing a second-trimester abortion:
A growing body of evidence suggests that Wicklund is not unusual. While nearly all clinics perform first-trimester abortions, fewer than one-fourth perform abortions at 20 weeks' gestation, and only 11 percent at 24 weeks. This is true even though profits increase with gestational age, as Kermit Gosnell keenly appreciated. Unlike him, the vast majority of abortionists draw the line somewhere in the second trimester, precisely when the fetus is becoming more recognizably human.
So, while Roe and Doe grant something close to an absolute right to abortion, abortionists quietly limit that freedom. Human nature, not laws, limits the effective scope of abortion rights in the United States. Not everyone, of course, is restrained by the common moral sense. Sociopaths like Gosnell are incapable of sympathy for other human beings. This is what enabled him to venture where almost all his colleagues fear to tread.
Even so, Gosnell's transgression is in a sense arbitrary, as perhaps he understood better than his colleagues or critics. For all their differences, many pro-life and pro-choice advocates agree that there are no morally relevant differences between killing a fetus at 15 weeks and killing a fetus at 30 weeks. We just tend to feel much worse about the latter.
The grand jury imagines that the legislators and regulators of Pennsylvania can find a way to "prevent future Dr. Gosnells." They can't. The Supreme Court has forbidden control over abortions by the democratically elected branches of government. So as long as abortion is every woman's right, and women want abortions, and providing them continues to be profitable, Dr. Gosnells will emerge. We can perhaps require them to kill their victims in the womb. But we can't prevent abortionists from specializing in killing viable fetuses. That is the consequence of the Roe and Doe regime.
Nevertheless, if Kermit Gosnell is executed, it will be for his abortions, not his other crimes. Although he will likely be found guilty of third-degree murder in the case of one mother, she died as a result of negligence. The grand jury made clear that her death was "not necessarily the product of specific intent to kill." Only Gosnell's abortion practice involved the intentional killing of innocent human beings. It is for this that he is charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.
So should Gosnell be convicted and find himself on death row, it will be for his specialty, late-term abortion, a practice permitted by our courts but forbidden by our consciences. It will be because the ordinary citizens serving on the trial jury in Philadelphia believe that the expansive power to destroy human life established in Roe and Doe is deeply immoral and in no way protected by our Constitution.

With a major blizzard sweeping across the Northeast, airline passengers flying out of Orlando's two major airports most likely can expect some effect here.
And late Sunday night, FlightAware, a site that facilitates flight tracking, predicted as many as 1,200 flight cancellations due to the storm, all along the eastern coast.
The National Weather Service calls the storm, "crippling and potentially historic," and issued a blizzard warning for the Northeast from 1 p.m. on Monday evening to midnight on Tuesday, though the prediction is that the storm will reach peak intensity around midnight on Monday until Tuesday, in the afternoon.
