BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 29 – Southern Utah (7-3, 1-0 BSC) trailed by just a single basket in the closing minutes of its matchup against No. 12 Colorado (10-1, 0-0 Pac-12) on Sunday before a late run helped the Buffaloes pull away for a 75-59 victory. SUU guard Desiree Jackson led all scorers with a season-high 21 points on 6-10 shooting in the loss while also leading the Thunderbirds with six rebounds and three assists.
The two sides went back-and-forth in the opening minutes as the SUU defense kept Colorado in check, holding the Buffaloes to 5-19 shooting during the first ten minutes of the game. Thunderbird senior Carli Moreland then knocked down a jumper to even the score at 13-13.
Junior guard Jasmine Sborov got inside for a layup to give the lead back to the Buffs who would use a 7-0 run near the five-minute mark to push their advantage into double figures for the first time of the afternoon. SUU came back with a three from Hailey Mandelko and a jumper by Desiree Jackson to narrow the margin to 30-24 with just under two minutes left in the half, but Colorado would drop in the final six points to hold a 36-24 lead at the break.
Both teams struggled from 3-point territory in the opening half as they each had just one make to go a combined 2-13 from the outside. The Buffaloes held a narrow edge in field goal percentage at 38.7 percent to 34.6 percent, but doubled up SUU at the foul line where they went 11-16 to Southern Utah's mark of 5-6 in the first 20 minutes.
The T-Birds cut away at the deficit by outscoring CU 10-2 over the first four-and-a-half minutes of the second half to pull back within four. All but two of those points came on free throws, including four from senior Andrea Jones who improved to 24-24 from the foul line on the season, to make the count 38-34.
Colorado responded with seven-straight to increase the margin back to 11 but an 18-9 run had the Thunderbirds back within a single score at the eight-minute mark. Jackson got the rally going with a layup, and went on to put up nine points over the stretch while Moreland added another five including a pair of free throws that set the tally at 54-52.
The Buffalo defense took control from there, holding Southern Utah to just two field goals and seven points over the final seven minutes. Sophomore Colorado forward Arielle Roberson upped her scoring total to 18 points with several key plays in closing moments to help her team pull away for the 75-59 win.
Jackson's 25 points made her the game's leading scorer and the only T-Bird to reach double figures. Along with Roberson's 18, Colorado got another 14 from Ashley Wilson, 12 from Sborov and 11 from Jen Reese. Roberson and Sborov each turned in a double-double after pulling down 12 and 10 rebounds respectively.
The Buffaloes shot 37.9 percent in the game while the Thunderbirds finished at 34 percent. Each side went 1-13 from the 3-point line, with SUU going 22-26 on free throws to a mark of 24-36 for the home team. Both teams recorded 20 points off of turnovers, but CU held a 38-24 advantage in points in the paint and a 12-5 edge in second chance points. The Southern Utah bench outscored Colorado 34-25.
The Thunderbirds resume Big Sky Conference play this Thursday as they make the long trip to North Dakota. Tip-off is set for 5:00 p.m. (MT) with coverage available online at www.suutbirds.com.

It seems ironic to me that Escondido City Council members spend endless hours trying to figure out ways to improve our city, such as bringing in new business ventures, and then every year routinely approve vastly higher water rates, which effectively oppose, and even defeat, their city improvement efforts.
As the accompanying chart shows, under the water rates the council approved last week, the increases in 2014 relative to 2007 are staggering: 67 percent, 101 percent, and 120 percent for Tiers 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
Even relative to 2012 rates, the 2014 increases are large: 26 percent, 30 percent, and 30 percent for the three tiers, and 25 percent for the so-called "water availability rate."
These skyrocketing costs wreak havoc on many aspects of life in Escondido. Is it any wonder that our residents don't have more spendable income to keep local businesses afloat?
Have you ever driven down El Norte Parkway, Washington Avenue or any number of other residential streets and seen how people have let their yards go to weeds and ugliness because they can't afford the water to keep them up?
Have you ever wondered why new companies aren't attracted to our city, considering how our neighborhoods now look so ratty, how much it costs to do business here, and how such high utility costs hurt our residents' ability to support new businesses?
High water rates are especially hard on older residents on fixed incomes. And if they have large yards, another major dilemma is that soaring water rates are making their houses less attractive to buyers, thus reducing the value of their property. (Yes, xeriscaping is an option, but that is expensive and unaffordable to many.)
This situation is reminiscent of how, years ago, rapidly escalating property taxes were forcing seniors from their homes. Finally, Proposition 13 was passed to give them relief. How can we get relief from these staggering water costs so seniors can stay in their homes and not leave the city?
It's high time that the City Council take a truly hard look at our utilities department and its insatiable proposals for more and more money. This may be a classic example of how, in the absence of competition, a government monopoly becomes a giant elephant that is almost impossible to feed.
A similar situation exists with our basic water supplier, the huge Metropolitan Water District, which, according to a recent (Feb. 11) editorial in U-T San Diego, "… resembles a self-serving, self-enriching cabal of monopolists much more than a government agency devoted to the public interest. Instead of doing all it could to cut costs, MWD has a history of seeking to shift as much revenue as it can to its executives and rank-and-file workers. …" Has the Escondido utilities department fallen prey to the same mindset?
Yes, MWD is part of the problem, but clearly the bulk of the rate increases for Escondido consumers are not driven by either MWD or the San Diego County Water Authority. They are being pushed by our local utilities department.
Looking at the chart again, note the remarkable record of cost containment shown by our trash and recycling company, Escondido Disposal Inc. Admittedly, trash hauling and water costs are not directly comparable, but it does show how a private company has avoided gouging its customers while still providing good service.
When rate increases are proposed by our other utilities, such as gas and electric, they have to be reviewed by state regulators. In the case of water, however, we are at the mercy of a monopoly run by the city of Escondido. That means our only "regulatory agency" is the Escondido City Council.
We are counting on the council to vigorously investigate any future rate increases and try to find ways to offset them by cutting or deferring other costs in the city's utilities department. At some point, this water madness must end.

3. After you've entered all required personal info click 'Create Account' and your account is ready.
4. Now open 888sport.com with your mobile browser and click on the 'Mobile' tab in the top menu. If you are on your iPhone the next page will require for you to go to the App store, where you will need to enter 888Sport in the search bar and download the app. Alternatively you can scan the QR code or enter your phone number to receive a link via SMS. Or you can take the easiest way out, just type www.888sport.com/Iphone in your Safari browser and enjoy.
Android users can type www.888sport.com/Android in their browser to access the Android web based app, or they will need to scan the QR code or enter their number to receive a link via SMS. All other mobile devices can access 888Sport through mobile.888sport.com.
About 888Sport Mobile
Mobile betting has arrived at 888Sport too, one of the most established and publicly listed gaming companies. 888Sport have been running and offering sports betting, casino and poker services for a while now, but they have only recently made their mobile betting breakthrough. The app works on all iOS, Android and Blackberry devices (Windows too), and practically any mobile device that can be used to surf online. If you like a brightly orange app that will help you in your daily betting, check out the 888Sport app.
Look and Feel
Some punters make fun of the design saying you need sunglasses in order to use the app. Well, it's true that the design is a little bright, but it's the corporate colour, and it's not that big of a deal actually, since the app's basic purpose is to help you place bets quicker and easier, which it does. If you are already an active 888Sport customer you should be used to it by now. The contrast however helps you read the text very easily. The icons are quite stylish, minimal and way better than text based offerings in other apps.
888Sport Mobile App Features
The 888Sport mobile betting app has a decent range of markets to bet on, along with some great live in-play betting odds. When used for the first time it will check your location and will make sure that you are in a country where online gambling is not illegal. Once you're in the app you can check your history and get live scores and odds updates. Live streaming of events is available only via the website, but hopefully it will be available through the app in the future.
The 888Sport mobile betting app for iPhone is available for download from the App Store. With it you will be able to view the latest live betting markets and many daily ones too.
The Android app of 888Sport was designed with Android mobile phone users on the mind, rather than tablet users. Using this app will require the latest version of flash installed on your device.
iPads & Other Tablets
The 888Sport mobile betting app is compatible with all iOS and Android tablets.
Betting & Markets
The 888Sport mobile betting app mainly is concentrated on horse racing and football. There is a great selection of European and International football competitions, so it's a definite must for football fanatics, but there are about 30+ other markets to bet on too.
888Sport is one of those operators that will allow you to bet on almost every sport there is, from the most popular ones to the most obscure sports like water polo, surfing, trotting, martial arts and futsal. If you want to place a bet just click on your preferred match and it will automatically come up on your bet slip, but it won't calculate what your return will be. The In-Play betting section is strong and provides easy management of your selections and displays all matches scheduled for the day.
Mobile Bonus & Offers
Currently 888Sport gives £5 risk free bet to all punters that have downloaded the app to their mobiles. It's not the most generous offer out there but it is decent and way better than no promotion at all. Don't get your hopes down, you will get £88 in free bets anyway, if you register an account and place a bet for the first time, which makes up a lot for the £5 risk free bet. Just place a minimum bet of £10 and you will be eligible for the offer. If your bet loses it will be refunded with the same value of your stake in the form of a free bet. Keep placing further bets to reach the maximum of £88.
Our Verdict on 888Sport App
The unusual thing about the 888Sport mobile betting app is that it is not strictly a betting app that needs to be downloaded and installed on your device in the conventional sense, although you can do that, which is great in terms of updates. It's mostly used as web based app.
888Sports offers a mobile betting mini site too that is accessed through any mobile device and is fully optimised for any mobile. This makes it lot less complicated to use (it's not that installing and downloading would be that difficult, it's just that you cut the procedure and go straight to the chase) and on the plus side your browser will help you gain better navigation through it. Just add a shortcut to your mobile home screen so you can access it on a daily basis and have fun.

Peter Pike (born c. 1980 or 1979) attended Hogwarts in the 1990s and was sorted into Slytherin house. He was commonly seen between 1993 and 1994 with Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe,Gregory Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson.
Peter Pike began his education at Hogwarts in 1991 and was sorted into Slytherin house.
He was part of Draco Malfoy's gang in 1993 and 1994 and was one of the Slytherin's that imitated a Dementor to scare Harry in the first Care of Magical Creatures class of the year. He was later among those whom Harry threw snowballs at in Hogsmeade under his Invisibility cloak around Christmas time. He was also with Malfoy in the Stone Circle when Malfoy was punched by Hermione Granger in 1994.
In his fifth year, his joined the Inquisitorial Squad with Draco Malfoy, Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, Graham Montague, etc.
Behind the scenes
- Peter Pike was portrayed by Bronson Webb in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban[1] and the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (uncredited).
- It is possible that Pike was created specifically to replace Gregory Goyle in certain action-oriented scenes as Joshua Herdman had injured his arm and would have been unable to perform them.

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)

"Mom tried to kill us," they told detectives, according to the document. "Mom is crazy."
Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said Wilkerson, of North Charleston, was in the custody of the sheriff's office after being hospitalized for a mental evaluation.
The children told authorities they had come to Florida from South Carolina earlier in the week to escape their father. They described a history of violence between their parents, and they said their mother had been "acting crazy and speaking to Jesus" since they had come to stay with Wilkerson's sister in Daytona Beach.
The sister, Jessica Harrell, didn't return a phone call from The Associated Press, but she was worried about Wilkerson's mental health and called a 911 dispatcher hours before the minivan ended up in the ocean.
When she was driving into the ocean, one of the children asked her what she was doing, and she said: "'I am keeping us all safe,'" according to the affidavit. The boy tried to wrestle the steering wheel away from Wilkerson.
"She told them to close their eyes and go to sleep. She was trying to take them to a better place," Johnson said at a news conference.

This turned out nicely...
You might consider softening the cyan glow around some of the objects. Seems a bit stark to me, but if you're happy with it then it's all good.
The Secluded Temple is surrounded by an ivy-covered brick wall. Two entrances, one to the East and one to the West, pierce the brick wall and allow access to the temple grounds. The northeast corner of the temple grounds contains an outside altar while a water-filled font sits in a small grove of trees in the southeast corner. A variety of fruit-bearing trees, ferns, and flowering plants fill the rest of the grounds.
Ivy has overgrown the four steps leading up to the temple in several places. Fourteen dark stone columns surround the temple and support the overhanging roof. The same stone makes up the walls of the temple itself while the floor is covered with green and white tiles.
The eastern room of the temple proper contains an altar and a spring-fed pool, both of which are surrounded by a magical glow. The walls of middle room of the temple are lined with chests of treasure, planters of medicinal herbs, glowing altars and statues, and more stone columns. A large glowing statue dominates the center of the room. A magical circle dominates the floor of the western room of the temple.
One grid square equals ten feet on the map, and the upper edge is North.
This turned out nicely...

There is a variation of an old joke in Washington political circles about Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. For all his knowledge and experience, the safest public relations strategy is to keep him on a short leash.
When it comes to Mr. Biden and gun control, President Obama may be kicking himself right now for loosening his grip longer than he should have.
The vice president recently participated in a Google+ video hangout about gun violence. Mr. Biden immediately whipped up a media frenzy with this jaw-dropping comment: Guess what? A shotgun will keep you a lot safer - a double-barrel shotgun - than the assault weapon in somebody's hands who doesn't know how to use it. He also said, You know, it's harder to use an assault weapon and hit something than it is to use a shotgun, OK? So if you want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells.
My guess is Democratic spin doctors were immediately contacted to put out this political fire and craft an airtight response. To their credit, the wordsmiths came up with a good retort. Mr. Biden's loquacious statement simply proves Mr. Obama and leading Democrats believe in the Second Amendment, and support a citizen's right to legally purchase weapons. If the White House had ulterior motives, why would the vice president - who was asked by the president to spearhead a committee to find ways to curb gun violence - praise any type of gun in a public forum?
Don't believe it, though. If anything, this is just the first step in the Democrats' long-term plan to implement gun control.
Consider it from a communications perspective. The terrible shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., were on the level of only a few other tragedies, including Michigan's Bath School disaster in 1927 and the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. While there have been other terrifying events, such as the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting, few have rattled the American psyche about guns as Newtown has. The 20 children and six adults who lost their lives at Sandy Hook are permanently etched in our memories. …

Okay we all have EDD but know how that can go with being eary, late and scheduled C/S.... Has anyone ever guessed their DD and been right. Im due 4/24 at (40 weeks) i have a strong feeling about the 12th (29 weeks). anyone else have DD predictions
strong feeling about due date
I am due the 24th as well and today I am 32 weeks, so there is no way the 12th is 29 weeks.
But to answer your question, nope. I was wrong. Even the day were induced... expecting my son to be born 2/22... he held out for a few minutes past midnight to be 2/23
Maria + Cetric =
Bug-Bug-Feb 2011, Hells Bells-April 2013
I haven't been right before...but this time around I'm due 4/6 but have a strong feeling about 3/22...not sure why.
With my DD I was induced a couple days past my due date.
With DS I was due 3/26 and had him 3/5...he came on his own at 37weeks on the dot....
so yeah for some reason I'm thinking about 3/22 which would make me about 38 weeks.
D&J 9/13/08; DD 9/18/09 40w1d 8lb9oz; DS 3/5/11 37w 6lb12oz;DD 3/24/13 38w 8lb4oz.(*)(*)
I have had a strong feeling about the week of the 23rd which would make me 37 weeks exactly. DH had a dream she came on our anniversary which is the 19th so close to when I have a feeling to although that puts me at 36 weeks 3 days so I would prefer she wait longer than that at least to 37 but my dr told me she just wants me to make it to 35 at this point...maybe we will all be suprised and shell be late!
L & S married 3/19/11

Atlas day gecko (Quedenfeldtia trachyblepharus)
|Quedenfeldtia (1)
|Snout-vent length: up to 4 cm (2)
Tail length: up to 5.7 cm (2)
The Atlas day gecko is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The Atlas day gecko (Quedenfeldtia trachyblepharus) is a small, high altitude lizard endemic to Morocco (3). All geckos are relatively small, soft-skinned and have a flattened body shape. Many geckos are noted for their climbing abilities, and the feet of many species are well-adapted for such forms of locomotion, with highly specialised pads on their toes which enable them to grip onto most surfaces (4).
The male and female Atlas day gecko are very different in appearance. The female is dark brown or grey, with dark stripes running the length of the body. The female may also occasionally have an irregular series of dark spots on the upper side of the body. The male is paler with a large quantity of red or dark brown spots, which are more abundant along the sides of the body and neck. Often, the underside of both sexes is yellowish-green, although it may sometimes be darker in the male, especially towards the front of the body (3).
Many geckos are able to produce a wide range of vocalisations, including chirps, clicks, growls and barks (4).
The Atlas day gecko is endemic to south-western Morocco where it is found in the Toubkal Massif and surrounding mountainous areas of the High Atlas Mountains (1) (3).
The Atlas day gecko is associated with montane rock faces and boulders close to water sources. Living at elevations between 1,200 and 4,000 metres (1), this species has one of the highest vertical distributions of any gecko (2).
A diurnal species (5), the Atlas day gecko hunts in the day and, like most other geckos, is likely to use a combination of visual and chemical cues to find its prey. As with other geckos, this species is likely to feed on insects and other small invertebrates (4).
The female Atlas day gecko lays two to three clutches, each of a single egg (1), which is enclosed in a hard, calcareous shell (4). The eggs of this species are deposited in rock crevices (1).
The distribution of the Atlas day gecko is severely fragmented (1). However, there are not known to be any major threats to this species and its population is currently believed to be stable (1).
The Atlas day gecko occurs in a few protected areas within its range (1). However, there are no known specific conservation measures currently in place for this species.

Seagate to close Northern Ireland plant
Seagate is closing one of two manufacturing plants in Northern Ireland, axing 768 permanent and 159 temporary employees. The 10-year-old plant at Limavady in County Londonderry manufactures nickel plated aluminum substrates — the base platter on which magnetic materials are deposited for making hard drives. "We have made great …
10 years?
I don't suppose that coincides with the end of subsidies and tax breaks used to encourage the plant to set up there in the first place?
So... The world's already got too many substrate manufacturing plants, so we can't keep this one open... But we're opening a new plant in Malaysia with roughly the same number of new jobs in it?
Wouldn't it have been more honest simply to say "Malaysia's cheaper. Sorry."
So. Next hard disk upgrade isn't going to be Seagate, then. Just, you know, 'cos.
gone to china?
Globalisation at work, ship everything to china and india then moan when they find kids working for free in sweatshops.
What they didn't say......
......is that the staff have been training their Malaysian replacements and once the plant is closed, the equipment will be removed and shipped off to the new Malaysian one.
Very Strange Indeed....
I live just down the road from this plant, and have many relatives and friends working there.
Seagate got the plant for nothing, and have received lots of grants in addition, Since then, more public investment has gone into specialist drainage systems, and access roads in and around the plant.
They state that they will save £15m per annum by moving to Malaysia, which to my mind is very small beer compared to there global revenue. In a rural area of unemployment such as here, this will mean a lot of people on the dole for a long time, costing probably much in excess of the abovementioned £15m pa.
So we, the tax payers, again pick up the tab, one way or another, for the fat cats!
And I just bought 2 Maxtor 500 giggers! As a 4th generation American with roots in Ireland, I feel for my brethren.
Have a pint on me chaps, no more Seagates/Maxtors in my future.

Extreme Performance Makeover Transforms the 2010 Camaro from
Muscle Car to Super Car!
SEALY, TX – Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), well known
for their extreme performance sports cars and muscle cars,
announces their Limited Edition 2010 HPE700 Camaro.
At the heart of the beast is GM's new LS9 supercharged V8
tweaked as only HPE could to 705 horsepower and 717 lb-ft
torque. To qualify as a supercar under the HPE banner it can't
just go, it has to whoa. With optional 15 inch carbon brakes
from the stunning new Corvette ZR1, light weight HRE wheels with
Michelin PS2 tires and full suspension upgrades the HPE700
Camaro will be able to make full use of its new found power.
In addition to the power and handling upgrades., Hennessey will
also be offering an exterior aerodynamics package to improve
downforce at high speed. Penned by British designer, Steve
Everitt, Hennessey's Cam-Aero ™ body upgrades include: Carbon
fiber rear lip spoiler, carbon fiber side rocker panels, carbon
fiber front splitter, front fascia with hideaway-look headlights
and front billet grille. Completing the look of the HPE700 is a
ZR1 inspired hood design with window showing off the Hennessey's
tweaked LS9 powerplant.
"The HPE700 Camaro allows our customers to combine supercar
power and performance with classic American muscle car looks in
a modern, daily-drive usable sportscar with a backseat and a
trunk!," said John Hennessey, President and CEO of Hennessey
Performance Engineering. "We will be announcing other Hennessey
turnkey vehicle packages for the 2010 Camaro in the near future
along with an extensive list of aftermarket performance parts
and accessories. But for now, the LS9-powered HPE700 Camaro,
replete with ZR1 inspired looks and performance promises to be
at the top of the American muscle car food chain later in 2009.
HPE700 buyers will also receive a 1-day performance driving
course at Lonestar Motorsports Park – a ¼ mile dragstrip
facility located adjacent to Hennessey's 24,000 square foot
production facility and showroom.
Hennessey is offering the first HPE700 Camaros exclusively to
registered bidders at the 2009 Barrett-Jackson auction in
Scottsdale, AZ. Orders can be placed at the Hennessey display at
the show or by phone or email beginning Tuesday, January 13
through Sunday, January 18, 2009. On Monday, January 19, 2009
the HPE700 Camaro will be available to the general public and
can be ordered from select Chevrolet dealers as well as directly
from Hennessey Performance Engineering.
Base price for the 2010 HPE700 Camaro is $109,500.
Located just west of Houston Texas at the Lonestar Motorsports
Park complex, HPE has been building American supercars for
nearly two decades with its Veyron-beating Venom Vipers, Ford
GT's and recently released Dodge Challengers.

Volunteers process the claims and forms needed for the military to allow the leave.
The number of armed forces personnel taking time off has significantly increased since 9/11, but the Red Cross is running low on the volunteers needed to work the extended leave cases.
Marvis Day, a Red Cross volunteer, says, "It's very important that these people get home, especially if its a death, sometimes it's illness, someone in the family sick, and they have to get here."
Workers are needed for the night and weekend shifts. If you'd like to help, call Capital Area Red Cross at 850-878-6080.

Can good people disagree?
Timothy Kincaid
July 17th, 2012
"Scouting believes that good people can personally disagree on this topic…"
But can "good people" personally disagree "on this topic"?
The careful wording euphemistically avoids mentioning what "this topic" we are discussing. In fact, "this topic" is not explicitly stated anywhere within the Boy Scout's press release. As a piece of diversionary and obfuscatory rhetoric, it is brilliant. It says almost nothing:
After careful consideration of a resolution asking the Boy Scouts of America to reconsider its longstanding membership standards policy, today the organization affirmed its current policy, stating that it remains in the best interest of Scouting and that there will be no further action taken on the resolution.
This decision follows a nearly two-year-long examination, started in 2010, of the policy commissioned by the Chief Scout Executive and national president. Under their leadership, the BSA convened a special committee of volunteers and professional leaders to evaluate whether the policy continued to be in the best interest of the organization.
The committee included a diversity of perspectives and opinions. The review included forthright and candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations – both from within Scouting and from outside the organization. The committee's work and conclusion is that this policy reflects the beliefs and perspectives of the BSA's members, thereby allowing Scouting to remain focused on its mission and the work it is doing to serve more youth.
"The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers, and at the appropriate time and in the right setting," said Bob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive, Boy Scouts of America. "While a majority of our membership agrees with our policy, we fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society."
Following the recommendation to affirm the BSA's membership policy, the executive committee of the BSA National Executive Board released the following statement: "Scouting believes that good people can personally disagree on this topic and still work together to achieve the life-changing benefits to youth through Scouting. While not all Board members may personally agree with this policy, and may choose a different direction for their own organizations, BSA leadership agrees this is the best policy for the organization and supports it for the BSA."
Resolutions asking the BSA both to affirm and reconsider this policy have been raised throughout the years. With any resolution, regardless of subject, the BSA may or may not refer it to a committee for review or may immediately determine no further action is necessary. [emphasis added]
This policy, the policy, WHAT policy?
The only semi-direct reference would suggest that there was some question about whether or not parents value the right to address issue of same-sex orientation. The uninformed could be forgiven for assuming that the Boy Scouts chose not to incorporate a new sex education program. Or maybe they have chosen not to end their policy of opposing bullying. Or their policy supporting bullying. Or their policy of creating intentionally vague and deceptive press releases.
The Boy Scouts of America have good reason to be less than direct. Because the policy to which they take great strides to hide is shameful and an embarrassment and if stated plainly is offensive.
Not that they ever put that policy in words. In fact, the words "homosexual" or "gay" (other than as a name) are no where to be found on their website. Instead it is a policy that exists in insinuation, an understood but unstated policy, one which relies on long held exclusion of those who know full well that they are unwanted.
So let me do the BSA a little favor. Let me put their policy in words (as honestly as I can based on the comments of the Boy Scouts of America and their actions).
The Boy Scouts of America believes that possessing the quality of being attracted to the same rather than to the opposite sex is an indication of insufficient moral character. The BSA therefore forbids any same-sex attracted persons, irrespective of relationship status – even if committed to celibacy – from participation in any way in the Boy Scouts or its programs. This blanket exclusion applies to all aspects, troops, groups, or subsets of the BSA and includes –
– Boy Scout members
– Troop leaders
– Den mothers
– Participation by parents
– Scout Sponsors (for example, an MCC church)
– Any other conceivable connection whatsoever to the BSA, its leadership, or its programs
Put in honest and unambiguous language, this is a reprehensible policy. And contrary to the assertions of the BSA spokesman, I very much doubt that it is supported in its entirety by "a majority of the parents". And I think few boys would smile and agree if told, "Should any of your friends turn out to be gay, we will consider them to be undesirable and will kick them out."
This unstated policy makes no pretense to being based on any connection to the interests of the boys involved. They don't even quote the usual collection of bogus fear claims or trot out the ookie-spookie "HOMOSEXUAL MEN with LITTLE BOYS in the WOODS". They simply run with, "we don't like you, and we don't have to, so go away".
Which brings me back to my original question, can "good people" personally disagree "on this topic"?
If the topic is generically about homosexuality, its etiology, culture, social position, expression, morality of expression, history, political standing, structure of relationship and matters along that line, then sure. Good people can and do differ on a whole host of aspects of understanding about human sexuality.
But when it comes to a blanket exclusion of a group of people based on an benign attribute, that's a different matter. That is bigotry. And no, bigots don't count as "good people".

An accident inside a sawmill sends workers scrambling to help a colleague and a chopper called in to airlift him to the hospital. The Airlink helicopter from Wilmington flew to Weyerhaeuser's New Bern paper mill. The company says the incident happened inside the plant's sawmill, when a 25-year veteran employee, who has not been identified, was seriously injured. Spokesperson Susan Larkin says co-workers nearby gave first aid, as Craven County rescue crews responded. The helicopter flew that worker to Pitt County Memorial Hospital around 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The State Department of Labor and plant safety teams are investigating that workplace accident.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review
Reviewed by: Admin
Reviewed on: November 25, 2007
Price: $1,345.00
Do you remember when processors were so big and heavy that you had to lift them with both hands? Well luckily those days are long gone and as technology progresses, processors are slowly shrinking in size while increasing in performance. Over the last two years we have grown familiar with 65 nm processors that actually produce less heat and are more energy efficient than processors of the past . Now there is something new, the 45nm processor which can deliver greater performance and better power efficiency. So what CPU manufacturer is producing such a processor?
The Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core QX9650 processor is one of Intel's first 45nm processors to utilize hafnium-infused circuitry to deliver greater performance and more power efficiency. The Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core QX9650 also runs at 3.0 GHz and has 12mb of L2 cache and a front side bus of 1333 MHz, something that should make any enthusiasts mouth water. Since the introduction of quad-core processors Intel has been a leader in innovative technology but will the latest technology used in the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core QX9650 be worthy?
Closer Look:
Our Core 2 Extreme QX9650 was shipped directly from Intel so it was packaged in a black static proof box. The inside of the box is lined with both pink and black foam to protect the processor.
The QX9650 looks no different than any other LGA 775 chip but its what's under the hood that should make the difference.
To install the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor, you will first need a motherboard that is compatible with the CPU. Whether it be through a bios flash or a motherboard that is designed to support it is of extreme importance. As you can see, I first chose to use the Abit IP35 motherboard which I thought was compatible with the processor, but I was mistaken and later found that at this time, only the Abit IP35 Pro support it. I then tried my DFI Lanpaty 680i LT, but ended up crushing the resistors on the rear of the board installing the Thermalright Ultra90 heatsink. So finally with a bios flash, I was able to utilize my DFI Lanparty UT P35-T2R.
If your motherboard needs a bios flash in order to run the QX9650, I would suggest flashing the bios prior to installing the processor, all three boards (Abit IP35 not supported) would not even post prior to a bios flash. I had originally chose to use the Thermalright Ultra 90 heatsink on the DFI motherboards because of their preinstalled NB heatsinks. My Zerotherm fan without a mod will not mount unless the fan itself is facing upwards, but since I had already crushed the resistors on one DFI board with the rear plate of the Ultra 90, I decided to use the Zerotherm heatsink facing upward. It comes with an X bracket where the other has an oblong bracket.

The system tests we will be using are listed below:
- Apophysis 2.2
- PcMark 05 Professional
- Sisoft Sandra XI
- Sciencemark
- Cinebench 9.5
- HD Tach 3.1
- SpecViewperf 9.0
- WinRAR
We will start with Apophysis. This program is used primarily to render and generate fractal flame images. We will run this benchmark with the following settings:
- Resolution: 2750x2048
- Quality: 500
- Limit Memory use: 512MB
The measurement used is time to render, in minutes, to complete.
Lower is Better
WinRAR is a tool to archive and compress large files to a manageable size. We will use 10MB, 100MB and 500MB files and test the time needed to compress these files. Time will be measured in seconds.
Specview is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. The tests used for comparison are listed below. The default tests were chosen to be able to compare across platforms. In these tests, higher scores equate to better performance.
- 3DS Max
- Catia
- Light
- Ensight
Higher is Better
Higher is Better

Processor Arithmetic,Multi-core Efficiency as well as Cache and Memory are producing values many of us have not seen before. Can you say 12mb L2 cache?
Sciencemark tests real world performance instead of using synthetic benchmarks. For this test, we ran the benchmark suite and will use the overall score for comparison.
Higher is Better!
Cinebench is useful for testing your system, CPU and OpenGL capabilities using the software program CINEMA 4D. We will be using the default tests for this benchmark.
Higher is Better
HD Tune measures disk performance to make comparisons between drives or disk controllers.
Higher is Better
Lower is Better
We are now benchmarking with Cinebench 10, where values are marked higher than Cinebench 9, due to changes in how it reads the multicore CPUs.
Now that the system benchmarks are complete, we will move on to the video benchmarking portion of the review. We will be using an assortment of games to test performance across different processors to look for any performance advantages. The testing will start with resolutions at 800x600 and progressing to 1280x1024 to try and take the video card out of the equation and show the performance at resolutions where processor performance can influence the results.
The game tests that we use are as follows:
- Far Cry
- Quake 4
- Call of Duty 2
- Flight Simulator X
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted
- 3D Mark06
- RyderMark
First up we have Far Cry. This game makes extensive use of pixel shaders and features Polybump Normal Mapping technology to increase character details.
We will be using the Hardware OC Benchmarking Utility version 1.8 with the following settings.
- Maximum quality option, Direct3D renderer
- Level: Volcano, demo: Volcano.tmd
- Pixel shader: model 2.0b
- Anti-aliasing: 4×
- Anisotropic filtering: 8×
- HDR: disabled
- Geometry Instancing: disabled
- Normal-maps compression: disabled
In older games such as Far Cry, lower resolutions are where the CPU is a factor as you can see at the resolution of 800 x 600 the overclocked frame rates almost peaked 400 FPS. With the release of newer DirectX 10 games which are made for multi-core processors we should start to see higher frame rates in higher resolutions with the CPU giving the video card a boost. In the past as you crept into the higher resolutions the CPU was taken out of the equation leaving most of the work to the video card.
F.E.A.R. is a newer game that includes its own benchmarking utility. We will be using this test to benchmark the game. This game introduces a new AI model that emulates real squad behavior. It has the ability to counteract the moves you make rather than having a predictable routine.
The settings we will use are below:
- FSAA: x4
- Anisotropic: x16
- Effects: Max
- Computer: High
- Soft Shadow: Off
Quake 4 is next up for testing. We will be using the Hardware OC Quake 4 Benchmark Utility version 1.5 to complete the testing with this game. You will need to update to the most current version for the latest time demo and bug fixes. Average FPS (frames per second) will be the measure used.
The settings we will use are listed below:
- IDsoft Demo
- Quality: High
- Aspect Ratio: [4:3]
- Anti-aliasing: 4×
- Anisotropic filtering: 4x
- Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) enabled
Call of Duty 2 is a WWII first-person shooter game that is dated, but still maintains a tremendous online following. This test will consist of a timed run on the Stalingrad multi-player map, measured by Average FPS (frames per second).
The settings used are listed below:
- Anti-aliasing: x4
- Texture Filter: Trilinear
Benchmark: BioShock
BioShock is an interesting new first person shooter that has recently hit the market. This title poses quite a challenge for video cards.
- All settings to Maximum
After looking at the last four benchmarks you will notice that even overclocked at 1024x768 when the CPU becomes less of a factor, the FPS are virtually the same.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted. For this test, we will time each race and record the average FPS (Frames Per Second) achieved.
The settings we will use are listed below.
- All settings at 3/4 of highest performance
- Tests in 3 different resolutions
3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest begins. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this set of processors perform. We will only be comparing the E6700, E6750 and AMD 6000+ for this series of benchmarks. The settings used are listed below.
- SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
- CPU Tests: Cpu1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
- HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze
Because this review is all about the processor, we will be showing how the CPU scored in each of the resolutions we tested.

I just might not ever use another DFI board again. After spending days overclocking testing for stability and making sure I had the perfect settings my DFI Lanparty UT P35-T2R decided it wasn't going to work at all. I began getting continuous reboot cycles and when I finally would boot was constantly get bios errors or have the board not recognize my mouse or keyboard. (PS2 or USB) Not only that the constant boot cycles at times more than 30 in a row corrupted my hard drive. Is it a Bios problem? Is there an incompatibility with the Yorkfield chip? Right now your guess is as good as mine, I even tried my Q6600 again and still no dice. By the way I'm still waiting to hear back from DFI tech support after leaving about 10 messages on their "No one is available, well call you back if you leave your name and number" machine.
Luckily I was able to get a decent overclock before all this happened, that was 3.825 Ghz, FSB at 425 x 9 and DDR2 9200 Ram timings of 5-5-4-12 with 333/1066 for the divider. Other settings including voltages were CPU at 1.3500V, NB 1.37V, RAM 2.23V, Thermal management; disabled and C1; disabled.
By now you have read the results with this overclock, and can see that even with an overclock of just 800MHZ the performance increases tremendously not just in one benchmark application but all.
I would have hoped to at least have the screenshot of the overclock with CPU-Z but even on another system my data in not accessible. So when I get back the DFI motherboards from RMA or get another board that supports the Yorkfield processor, I will go ahead and update this page with not only a screenshot but possibly an even higher overclock. Thank you for your understanding.
After completing all the benchmarks in the suite, I can only arrive to one conclusion, the Intel Core 2 quad-core QX9650 performs. To date it has produced the highest scores out of any processor I have used or reviewed. I like the fact that even overclocked and on air cooling, my CPU temperatures did not go above 49 degrees Celsius at 100% load and that's even with ambient room temperatures of 78 to 80 Fahrenheit or 23 to 26 degrees Celsius!
As I mentioned earlier, at this time most gaming benchmarks used do not utilize the full potential of a multi-core processor, as OCC tests them further, we will start bringing in new gaming benchmarks that do utilize processors to their fullest potential and start testing in higher resolutions. Luckily new games are slowly being released and we may finally see how well our expensive video cards stand up also. Since I know it will be asked, yes I did game in higher resolutions, and found that games ran smoother and even appeared to be more realistic than other processors. Grass and other shadings were more clear than I have ever noticed with an Intel processor.
Ok getting back on topic, programs like Photoshop, Microsoft Word, opened easily usually in half the time I'm use to, but my major concern with these programs is when I either have multiple pictures in high resolutions open or I'm saving a large document in word. Normally no matter how much RAM I have in a system I always get lag out of Photoshop just performing easy tasks like auto level, or when saving my word document and being able to go get a drink out of the fridge before it's done. Ok I might save bigger files than most and have way too many high resolution pictures open but it is what I do and the QX9650 performed way better than my expectations, I didn't have to wait at all for the pictures to auto color or level nor could I get up and get a drink while saving a word file.
The only drawback of this processor may be its price. It might not be affordable to everyone at this time, but along with the newest technology comes a higher price and depending on where your priorities are, it can be a wise investment... You may not have to upgrade for a couple of years.
- 45mn Technology
- 12MB L2 Cache
- Quad-Core
- May not be affordable for some

A weekend search for Ali Gilmore or any clues to her disappearance is over, and Tallahassee police are now analyzing some of the items those search crews found.
Just shy of 300 volunteers joined the community search this weekend combing southside woods, neighborhoods and ponds for any sign of Ali Gilmore. She's been missing since February 3.
According to Klaas Kids search leader Brad Dennis, crews turned over 26 items to Tallahassee police, which investigators say included women's clothing, duct tape and a duffle bag.
Police now must decide if they are truly clues in Gilmore's disappearance, or just random finds.
CAPT Kelly Burke with the Tallahassee Police Department says, "The ones that we think warrant the DNA testing, yes, we will pursue them that far. Other ones, we'll go and look and see if there's some other explanation or plausible reason why they're there, or if they don't have any correlation whatsoever we may move on to other things."
The Klaas Kids search team leader says they are considering doing a second community search later this spring and are already mapping out areas on which to focus.
