Authorities on Tuesday released results of an autopsy showing the 2-month-old son of a man charged with murder in his death suffered from blunt force trauma to the head.
Deklin John King died Feb. 13 at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville after being taken off life support. He had been hospitalized since his father, Marine Sgt. Jordan Thomas King, 27, brought him to Naval Hospital aboard Camp Lejeune on Feb. 8.
The child had two skull fractures and bruising on the back of his head, according to medical reports.
After questioning by NCIS and civilian investigators, King was arrested by the Onslow County Sheriff�s Office on Feb. 9. He was initially charged with child abuse.
Detectives believe King was trying to get the child to stop crying.
Sheriff Ed Brown said anyone who is experiencing anger toward a small child should stop and call a family member or friend and talk to them about the situation. Taking that extra step to cool down could save a child�s life.
King joined the Marine Corps in 2008. He is an electrical systems technician with Combat Logistics Battalion 22, according to base officials.

AUBURN, Wash. (May 11, 2014) – The road to the Longacres Mile begins Sunday, May 18, with the $50,000 Governor's Handicap for 3-year-olds and up at 6 ½ furlongs.
The 75th running of the Governor's is the first of open stakes for older handicap runners and the lone sprint of the four-race series, which also features the $50,000 Budweiser Handicap at one mile on June 15, the $50,000 Mt. Rainier Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on July 20, and the $200,000 Longacres Mile (G3) on August 24.
Eleven horses including seven stakes winners are nominated to this year's Governor's, which will conclude a busy weekend at Emerald Downs that also features Saturday's 139th Preakness Stakes simulcast from Baltimore.
Absolutely Cool, winner of the $75,000 Phoenix Gold Cup at Turf Paradise in February, returns to Emerald Downs for the Governor's. A 7-year-old Washington-bred gelding, Absolutely Cool is 7-8-6 in 27 career starts with earnings of $205,453, and has won three stakes with a strong late kick for owner/breeder Karl Krieg.
Winning Machine and Jebrica, first and second-place finishers in the 2012 Governor's, both continue to perform well at ages 8 and 6, respectively. Winning Machine has won four stakes at Emerald Downs and finished runner-up in the 2012 Longacres Mile, and Jebrica is a double stakes winner here and was fourth in the 2013 Mile.
Mr. Bowling, a Grade 3 winner and the third betting choice in the 2013 Mile, comes off an encouraging comeback last month, finishing second to Scat Daddybaby in a fast six-furlong allowance race.
Why Not Be Perfect, sixth in last year's Mile, is a 7-year-old from the barn of leading trainer Jeff Metz, and ran well in this race last year while finishing third to Hoist and Stryker Phd.
Finallygotabentley and Mike Man's Gold, stakes winner last year as 3-year-olds, move up to the older horse ranks for trainer Tom Wenzel and David Martinez, as does Disruption, a promising Florida-bred scheduled to make his first start since finishing second to Finallygotabentley in the 2013 Auburn Handicap.

Prosecutor: Child support enforcement up by 68 percent since 2002
ELKHART — The Child Support Division, which is under Title IV-D section of the prosecutor's office, has increased the total amount collected by 68 percent in the last 10 years, reaching an "all-time high" in 2012.
Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney Curtis Hill held a press conference this morning, Jan. 24, in which he said the child support divisions brought in more than $22 million in 2012, an increase of 7.6 percent from the previous year.
In addition, Hill said although the budget for the Prosecutor Attorney's Child Support IV-D program was of $1,244,261, with collections of more than $22 million, every $1 spent by the office toward child support enforcement resulted in $17.88 collected. He also said about two-thirds of the money spent was reimbursed by the federal government.
The child support division of the prosecutor's office handles about 12,000 active cases.
Hill talked about the programs that have been developed in the last few years, including the creation of a position known as the child support investigator.
Dave Florchinger, the CSI for Elkhart County, works to locate those who fail to pay child support and brings them to the Elkhart County Jail for further court proceedings aimed at collecting child support. About $211,690 was collected from bonds on the 222 cases Florchinger handled in 2012, some of which was given to the families in the child support case.
Each employee who works in the child support division has the autonomy to make adjustments to the programs, Hill said.
"I come up with some things from time to time but really they're the ones to put the wheels on the bus to make this work, and they do this on a regular basis," he said.

Effective Diffusivity in Porous Materials
Application ID: 978
Transport through porous structures is usually treated using simplified homogeneous models with effective transport properties. This is in most cases a necessity, since the typical dimensions of the pores and particles making up the porous structure are several orders of magnitude smaller than the size of the domain that is to be modeled.
This model introduces the concept of effective diffusivity in porous media by comparing the transport through an artificial porous structure described in a detailed model with a simplified homogeneous porous media approach using effective transport properties.
The model consists of two parts. In the first part, we create the model with a detailed geometry. In the second part, we define a homogeneous model for porous media using an effective diffusivity calculated using the detailed model from the first part.

PCC in the News
News: Softball Lets SCC Opener Slip Away v. ELAC, 7-6
The Pasadena City College softball team couldn't have come closer to winning its South Coast Conference opener Tuesday at East Los Angeles College. The Lancers were one out away from clinching what would have been a 6-5 victory. Instead, an error by shortstop Allison Lacey on a fielder's choice throw to third allowed the Huskies to it.
The next hitter, Megan Coronado, roped a walk-off RBI single to right-center that rallied ELAC to a 7-6 win over the Lancers. It was the Huskies first victory of 2013, now at 1-4 overall. The Lancers had their record evened at 6-6.
The Lancers jumped out to a 4-0 first-inning lead highlighted by a 2-RBI single by Lacey and a RBI double by starting pitcher Melissa Izumida.
The Huskies would score single runs in each of the first five innings to claw back into the game, tying it 5-5. In the top of the sixth, PCC regained the lead, 6-5, on second baseman Audrey Serna's run-scoring hit through the left side.
PCC relief pitcher Cierra Newton was the hard-luck losing pitcher (3-4) as she allowed only one earned run on five hits in three innings. Izumida and first baseman Sara Quintero (pictured) each had two hits while centerfielder Ashley Shaneberger was 1-for-3 with three runs scored.
ELAC reliever Evangelina Montes turned the tide for her team by coming into end the first inning and pitching 6-1/3 innings overall, allowing just four hits and two unearned runs.
The Lancers put their perfect home record on the line Thursday, Feb. 14 when they face El Camino College-Compton Center in a 2 p.m. first pitch at Robinson Park. PCC is 5-0 at home this year, having outscored its opponents at the off-campus facility by a 34-1 count.

Hi guys,
This is part city map and part battle map for my first campaign stop. My goals here is to get used to drawing from an overhead perspective and find the right balance between realistic and hand drawn/cartoony as well as making sure my players have a good map to start playing on!
In case you guys are interested in the backstory for this small island town...
Centuries ago, the world of Spriddvarld had undergone a slow change. In what is now known as The Ebb, magic had become more and more scarce as the younger generations were born without any magical ability. In the last hope of retaining the knowledge of the arcane arts, the aging generation of wizards created a repository in the mage town of Spellfall. The last magic user of their time guarded this library, passing away as he awaited an apprentice that would never arrive.
Magic did reappear though, just as slowly as it had disappeared. In the past sixty years, children are once again being born with an ability to wield magic. It is here in Spellfall that the first magic users after The Convalescence came to seek knowledge and it is here where the new generation of wizards are being trained.
The center of the town is a Mage Tower and the surrounding hillside is occupied by various houses and dormitories. The population is a mix of magic users as well as common town folk, who have made a living catering to the unusual needs and habits of the magic academy.
There are two docks on the island. The larger one accomodates trade and visitors from Port Elmy as well as the Ardashtians. The other is a private dock owned by the academy that is used for ventures to the Swirling Veldt and neighboring islands.
I like it! At first glace the distance scale made me look for elevation shading, since the scale is shaded. But then it clicked. Fun concept.
The colours definitely look nicer now. It might be worth adding some shading to the cliff faces to enhance the sense of height they give although it's pretty clear anyway (especially with the little sideview drawing).
I love seeing the progression of this map. The side-view drawing is helpful and interesting, and doesn't take away from the map itself. Everything is detailed, and I like being able to see into the buildings an the different levels of the tower. Honestly, I'd love to see more buildings! But of course, that depends where you're taking this map. I love the idea of tons of buildings, but the feeling now is that there's a sort of sparseness (at least in the area immediately around the tower). Maybe there's a larger town down that road leading away from the cliffs? I love you're texturing, details, and how easy it is to read such a unique map. Terrain like that can be hard, and you've done a great job with it.
I also wanted to give a feeling that the tower was here first and everything else sprung up around it, the forge is closer to the tower, followed by the general goods shop and finally an inn when adventurers became more interested in the tower's vast library. The port town is so far away because over the years they've learned a few things about how fickle magic can be at times and how flammable houses truly were. Also, magic users themselves are sort of weird and just because they live on the same island doesn't mean they have to share the same town.
@Larb: Definitely going to add more depth to the cliffs, I was thinking about it earlier but was also feeling a tad lazy... your comment gave me the gentle nudge that I needed :0

Birth Place: Hong Kong
Wang's second film, "Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart" (1984), again centered on San Francisco's Chinese-American community. The film playfully yet poignantly examines familial relationships, particularly between a Chinese mother and her American-born daughter. It also celebrates Asian cuisine with almost every scene having someone eating something. Wang's next project was a resounding flop both critically and commercially. "Slamdance" (1987), the director's first non-Asian subject, starred Tom Hulce, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Harry Dean Stanton in an uninspired melodrama about an underground cartoonist/artist framed for murder. Wang got back on track as one of America's most interesting... Continue Bio >>

You should abandon your favorite cafe. At least for a day. That's seemingly the message behind the San Francisco Dis*Loyalty card, a frequent shopper promotion that, instead of rewarding you for visiting one place over and over, rewards you for making stops all over town at various coffee bars, each representing a different local roaster.

Large, colorful maps of Garfield County were spread across tables in the Rifle Library's meeting room on Monday, showing which areas of the county might have a value or two that makes that land worth preserving.
Garfield Legacy Project held four open houses across the county this week to inform the public about their Greenprint for Conservation and Economic Opportunity and take comments.
The effort began last fall with a survey and community workshops that identified a set of land conservation goals, which were to preserve agriculture and wildlife habitat, protect water quality, enhance trails and recreational opportunities and create open space buffers between communities.
Mary Noone of Glenwood Springs, co-chair of the project, said in a news release the effort is designed to gauge community priorities for open space.
"Ultimately, we hope to see the community create a funded open lands program," she said. "But it has to reflect Garfield County's unique needs and values. That's the idea behind the Greenprint, to figure out what the Garfield County community thinks is most important."
At the Rifle open house, project partner Martha Cochran of the Aspen Valley Land Trust said the maps identify lands ideally preserved for their water values, as working ranches, open land, tourism and recreation opportunities.
"Landowners could see what values their land has," Cochran said.
"This is valuable because it isn't about one use versus another use," said project member Phil Halliwell, who is also on the Greenprint Steering Committee. "It says there are some places that we can achieve multiple benefits."
In addition to showing the various maps, a set of guiding principles were explained.
"The principles reflect specific issues or ideas we heard from people during the project," said project co-chair Dave Devanney. "The principles are not about what we want to preserve or create, but how we would do it. So, we have a principle that speaks to the voluntary nature of the program and one that talks about accountability, among others. Together, they provide guideposts as we set about designing a program that fits Garfield County."
Cochran said the current commissioners are "reluctant" to have an open space program run by the county.
"There will be a citizens committee to evaluate the proposals and recommend action to the county commissioners," she added. "It will be voluntary only, with a land conservation agency holding the conservation easement."
Open space program criteria will be used to rank and evaluate funding proposals, Cochran said.
Money for such a program is proposed to come from a quarter-cent countywide sales tax, which could be placed on the November general election ballot for voter approval, Cochran said.
Ideally, some land should be bought for public use and access, Cochran said. For example, a town could seek funds to acquire access to a parcel of land for public use. That process would be similar to what the town of Silt did, with help from the Aspen Valley Land Trust, Cochran said, that resulted in a new park.
The city of Rifle and the trust have considered how to acquire a 100-acre island in the Colorado River as well, Cochran said.
"I think there's as much or even more interest in open space in the western end of the county than there is in the eastern part," she said. "Everyone thinks it's the other way around, but really it's because of all the large working ranches out here."

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The District knew about flooding problems in the city's Bloomingdale neighborhood six years ago. Now people living there want to know why nothing was done about it.
People had water and sewage flooding their homes after a bad storm in July. At a hearing Tuesday, residents said DC Water knew about the problems there. Now residents are caught in the middle paying for repairs while the city investigates.
A massive project to upgrade the city's sewer system won't be done until 2025.

Mint Hill hears from Tarte, Brawley at Town Hall
by Derek Lacey / Staff Writer
State representatives Bill Brawley, House District 103, and Jeff Tarte, Senate District 41, stopped by the Mint Hill Town Hall Saturday, April 13, to field questions from residents and give insight into pressing state matters.
Less than 20 people attended the meeting, but among them were Mint Hill Mayor Ted Biggers and town commissioners Lloyd Austin and Mickey Ellington.
The meeting began with discussion on the proposed formation of an airport authority fot the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
Brawley is the primary sponsor of House Bill 104, which is creating the airport authority, and cited that the Charlotte airport is sixth in the nation for number of flights, and twenty-seventh by number of passengers.
"We hit way above our weight class, as far as number of flights," Brawley said. "Part of the reason is because of the low cost to operate out of Charlotte Douglas, and that has been because of the way the airport has been managed for a number of years."

Governor Concerned About Drought
(Sioux City) -- The drought is worsening and Iowa Governor Branstad says he is deeply concerned about the consequences. Branstad told KLEM news that he has already given permission for the haying and grazing of state owned acres as a way to help livestock farmers with feed supplies.

Mower Accident Claims Life
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - An autopsy has been ordered on the body of a man who was trapped under a mower after it rolled into a western Iowa lake.
Authorities identified the man as 78-year-old Bruce Jensen, of Treynor. Jensen was a season employee of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The accident occurred about 2:40 p.m. Tuesday at Lake Manawa State Park in Council Bluffs.
Police say Jensen was on the mower as it cut grass around a parking lot at the lake. He apparently got too close to a steep embankment. The mower rolled and landed on top of him.
Council Bluffs Police Lt. Mark Galvan says Jensen was pronounced dead at the scene. Galvan says the autopsy will be performed in Ankeny at the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner.

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett performed tracks from their jazz collaboration Cheek to Cheek on Monday ahead of its long-awaited release.
The unlikely pals first teamed up for Bennett's album Duets II in 2011 and have since been working on a collection of jazz cover songs.
The pair premiered the tracks for a TV special concert entitled Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live at New York's Lincoln Center on Monday to mark the release of the record's first single, Anything Goes.
However, one performance was not enough for the duo, so they headed to the St. Jerome's venue in the Big Apple later that evening for an impromptu show.

Network Edition 3.1.3 on RHEL4 up2
I saw some threads that LDAP replication was disabled in 3.1.x and should be back for 3.1.3 release.
Did replication make it in the 3.1.3 release?
I have followed the guides, but don't see replication start when the Zimbra LDAP servers are restared.
I've setup just zimbra core, and ldap on a remote server (large colo) that I use just for smtp routing (sles9 postfix + sqlgrey listing), and routes email back to my office (commercial cable) which has the full Zimbra install on RHEL4. Zimbra forwards all outgoing mail to the smtp server, where I have my spf and reversed dns setup.
Right now I manually replicate out the aliases, emails, distrubution lists, etc... to the smtp server, would love for this to be automated.
I do it this way since my commercial cable doesn't have an sla like my colo does, and this still allows for email to be received, when the office goes down.

May 24, 2016
The incoming Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives says Florida's elections laws need to be reviewed.
Incoming House Speaker Will Weatherford says a committee will be reviewing and fixing recent voting problems.
The Speaker-designate says education is also a top priority.
Weatherford says the Pre-Eminence Bill, that allows some universities to raise tuition, is a good start.
He says, "We have got to do a better job of explaining to people what it actually costs to educate students at a four-year university. Also, let them know that while we want to make sure it's affordable and accessible to everybody, that nothing in this world is free. We're going to work very closely with the governor and very closely with the Senate to make sure we find that balance."
Weatherford says Florida spends between $65,000 and $100,000 per student, per four-year degree.

ATLANTA -- Three people, including a 7-month-old infant, were killed in two separate incidents on Metro Atlanta highways Friday morning.
In Rockdale County, police said initial indications were that two vehicles were racing in the westbound lanes of Interstate 20 near Salem Road when one of the vehicles -- a Honda Accord -- lost control and hit a guardrail before moving across the westbound lanes, where it was struck by a westbound Chevrolet pickup truck.
Police said two passengers in the Honda were killed, and the driver injured. They said two people in the pickup were hurt.
The passengers in the Honda were Edi Rodriguez, 19, from Morgan County, Ga., and a 7-month-old baby. The driver of the Honda, Kyrie Anderson, 22, from Madison and both people in the Chevrolet -- Jody Richardson, 34, from Bowdon and Terry Chaney, 48, from Carrollton -- were hurt in the wreck.
Investigators said the driver of the vehicle believed to be racing with the Honda has been identified and will be interviewed as a part of their investigation.
In another accident, a single vehicle wrecked on the northbound ramp from Interstate 75 to Moore's Mill Road in northwest Atlanta.
Police said the motorist in that wreck did not make the curve on the exit ramp and went into a grassy area and hit a tree and a road sign. The car overutned and the driver was killed.
The names of the victims have been withheld pending notification of relatives.

Hey guys,
Migrating some of my users over onto Outlook 2013. Been getting those dreaded Signature Syn errors with the Outlook Connector. I've picked up some pointers to sort this out on the forums - but just ran into another stumbling block...
On Zimbra 7, I could insert an image as part of the signature, but it would link to a hosted image somewhere, and pull that image in when the email is viewed.
On Zimbra 8, I cannot seem to find this feature anywhere. The only option on the Zimbra webmail, is to insert from the local drive. Has this been removed? Is there a workaround?

This app now appears on Google Play (though doesn't appear to like the UK, but I guess I'll obtain it somehow.)
It is a new incarnation of the VMWare Zimbra for Android fling released in 2011.
It can be used with other collaboration software, but gives extra features for Zimbra users.
For example, saved searches, briefcase documents, tasks.
However, reviewers suggest that CardDav (for contacts) and CalDav (for calendars) are more robust, and that only a single calender can be synced(?)

I mostly agree with all your points. The only way it's going to happen is when enough people stop paying for it.
But the providers will probably find a different solution.
Yes, prices are going up, but the real bone of contention is the price of sports. The rest is livable. You may see an adjustment in sports tiers or a consolidation (heck Fox is already buying its way to merging split markets) that could make prices insane or calm down. Right now, the splintering is the biggest problem. Look at the LA market. Throw in PAC 12 with that and you almost have a channel per team. Drives the cost to the consumer up.

Conference board approves assessor's budget
The Humboldt County Conference Board approved the budget for County Assessor Linda Fallesen with little fanfare Tuesday, Feb. 12.
The conference board is made up of mayors from the 13 incorporated cities in the county, one representative each from the four school districts in the county, and the five members of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors.
Fallesen's overall budget will feature an increase of $18,054, just over 5 percent, from $355,750 in the current budget year, to a proposed figure of $373,804 for fiscal 2014.
Fallesen calculated 3.5 percent salary increases for herself and Deputy Assessor Jana Terwilliger, the same increases recommended for other county elected officials by the Humboldt County Compensation Board.
Longtime appraisal clerks Christine Kleiss and Carlene Blomker were recommended for 2.75 percent salary increases per the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Union contract. The appraisal clerks also receive longevity pay of 1 cent per year added to their base hourly salary. Kleiss has worked for the county over 25 years and Blomker nearly 24 years.

(WUSA9) -- How adventurous are you when it comes to trying out a new kind of massage? You might have to be pretty brave to get the service provided at Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The spa offers a massage treatment that involves placing several pythons on a customer's body. We're told the movement of the snakes and the adrenaline triggered by fear has a positive impact on the customer's metabolism.

So you need a political map ?
With coulours and stuff ?
I might do that.
Hello everyone,
I'm very glad I found this community because I need a little help. I play an online game called NationStates. I'm the leader of a clan (region) there and I was looking for someone who would be willing to create a map for us. Just regular atlas style. Just a big continent in the middle of the ocean with some island surrounding it. Please add borders so that I can fit about 25-30 countries in there.
Something like this. Not with the numbers in it though. This guy used a map of Antarctica. I would like just a made up continent.
It's really a freestyle project. I'm pleased with pretty much anything.
Already thanking you.

A really good article on the C's present state of affairs,
Sorting through the trade rumors and speculation
Ainge - US Presswire
Take a step back. Take a deep breath. Everything is going to be ok
So, just to recap (deep breath):
The Celtics and Lakers talked about a Rondo for Howard trade but that was before Rondo got hurt but wait that never happened according to the Lakers GM but GMs are supposed to deny everything so whatever and then the Kevin Garnett to the Clippers deal resurfaced this time adding DeAndre Jordan to the Eric Bledsoe package except that the Clippers organization is split on that one and we aren't even sure if KG would waive his no-trade clause and wait, nope, he wouldn't waive his no trade clause, well, probably not unless Paul Pierce was also traded and I guess that idea was mixed into the rumors last night as well and hey, we all wake up this morning and find out that the Celtics are "salivating" over the thought of Josh Smith in green at the cost of Green and Bass but who knows if Danny Ferry would accept that offer of it is just Danny Ainge annoyingly calling him saying "will you do it now? how about now? now?"
(catches breath)
You know that feeling you get when you've been sitting down for too long and you jump up too quickly and the world just sort of seems to shift under your feet until you get your bearings? That's essentially been the last 18 hours.
If you were to believe every rumor, I suppose we could end up with a lineup of Eric Bledsoe, Avery Bradley, Josh Smith, DeAndre Jordan, and Dwight Howard with a bench of Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, and whomever we could get for Paul Pierce.
Or you could happily believe in none of these rumors and assume that nothing is going to happen at the deadline and that the team will keep on rolling with their new-found unity right through to Banner 18.
Or just about anything in between could happen.
Really, we have no clue and I'm not sure Ainge has any realistic idea either. Just the universal "it depends." It certainly seems like he's open to just about any idea, but thinking about something and even having talks about something is not the same as actually doing it.
Some bigger picture perspective first. Let us ask ourselves "why this is all coming out right now?" Did Ainge just put up an "open for business" sign in Houston and let anyone with a microphone listen in to all his conversations? (Hint, that's a rhetorical question)
The real reason all this is coming out now is logistics. All of the NBA and most of the media is converged together in Houston for the All Star weekend and there are tons of reporters hanging out with GMs and "team officials" and there's plenty of talk. We're talking gossip city.
Rumors that are weeks and even months old are being tossed out there for one reason or another. Everyone's got an angle and every rumor is leaked for one reason or another. Josh Smith obviously wants out of Atlanta so his agent is probably doing everything he can to stir up trade talks. Someone floated the rumor about the Celtics and Lakers but when you hear it from someone else, apparently those conversations were long ago. So everything his skewed depending on your perspective.
Think about how much the landscape changes from week to week. This whole year has been a roller coaster with high highs and low lows and nobody's really sure what's around the next curve. Rumors that might have made sense weeks ago make a lot less sense right now.
Of course rumors make for "good copy" too (believe me, I can see the spike in traffic when stuff like this happens - doesn't mean I'm covering it for that reason, but I see it). So anyone with a story to write is going to jump on the juiciest piece of meat and run with it like a starving dog.
Ainge likely has countless options before him and we've probably heard of only 20% of them at best. He's probably got dozens of other things he'd like to do but will have trouble convincing other GM's to do. And that doesn't even cover all the free agents and short term replacement player options.
The easiest thing to do would be to do nothing and add a few live bodies to the roster - if only to help the team practice and eat some garbage time minutes. But does that put us in the best position to win now and in the future? How do you balance meeting the team needs with preserving the legacy of our stars? How much does fan loyalty and emotional attachment factor into the equation (since they are, after all, the paying customer)?
When it all boils down, I can see why Danny's hair is white. This is a hard job and there's a lot at stake. He pulled off a masterful offseason in 2007 and has done the best he could to keep this core competing for Championships ever since (opinions vary on how good a job he's done). Seems like every 6 months he has to make a decision on if he should break up the core or run it back. Eventually the run will come to an end, but who makes that call and when it will be made is not exactly clear.
So, what's next? What will Ainge do this week? What SHOULD he do? I haven't the foggiest. I guess I'm just glad it isn't me making the decisions.
We've got 5 more days of this craziness, so buckle up (or find yourself a nice cozy hole to stick your head into).

To the editor:
A few weeks ago, another letter-writer asserted that our Constitution is not based on the Bible. This argument is not new, does not wash and is another way of saying that our Founding Fathers (a quote from Jefferson was cited) were not men of faith and did not use godly principles (the Ten Commandments were mentioned) to form the foundational documents of our government.
By way of refutation, I urge readers to look up David Barton�s website (wallbuilders.com), where he reviews the history of the nation, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and shows how those two documents rest very firmly on the Bible. Genuine understanding of the strong relationship between the Bible and our Constitution, however, is derived best from reading all three documents: the Bible, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. You must read all of them to understand each of them.
Readers without knowledge of the Bible are without knowledge of God, and, in most cases, do not believe in His existence. Biblical belief cannot be defined in secular terms.
To quote Patrick Morley: �Christianity is heart transformation, not behavior modification.�
Rodney Stortz observed: �Christianity is not an ethic whereby if we keep the Ten Commandments, we are good Christians . . . Christianity is the miracle of a changed heart and a personal relationship with the living God.�
Finally, from the Apostle Paul: �The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.� (1 Corinthians 2:14).
The bottom line of the issue is that if you do not have the Spirit of God living within you, you cannot understand His Word, therefore you cannot understand the Bible�s relationship to our Constitution. To gain understanding, begin your Bible reading with Genesis 1:1. Continue reading every day until you have read through Revelation 22:21. Note the Bible�s final word: �Amen.�
Note in particular Exodus 20:1-17 and Isaiah 33:22. Read also Matthew 7:13-14, and be sure you have chosen the narrow gate.

|Flossing important for children, too
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Learning to brush their own teeth is a lesson all children must master. Although parents ultimately may have children who become proficient at brushing their own teeth, getting them to floss is generally more difficult.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 41 percent of children aged 2 to 11 had tooth decay in their first teeth. Dental caries are common among children, likely because they have not become proficient at taking care of their teeth.
Soft, sticky foods are commonplace in young kids' diets, and these can promote decay. Even well-intentioned gummy vitamins can be sources of dental decay. Oftentimes, these foods become lodged between the teeth or on the surface of molars. If left in contact with the teeth for too long, food particles become a source of carbohydrates for oral bacteria, and cavities may appear as a result.

What made the difference, and preserved the deal when other companies might have walked away? In part it was good alignment between the companies. Argos, for example, works in developing vaccines based on dendritic cell immunotherapy rather than cell research on a broader scale. Kirin was committed to the dendritic cell field and was enthusiastic about Argos' technology. Just as important though were softer issues. Kirin respected our leadership and valued the relationship. It could see the long-term benefit of collaborating with this company, thereby displaying loyalty despite the short-term challenges. When Argos experienced a temporary problem with its process before the deal with Kirin was signed, it was honest about the problem and included Kirin in its strategy to solve it. A potential disaster turned into another opportunity to build trust.
Making Corporate Relationships Work
A marriage is more than a wedding. And a successful partnership is much more than signing a contract. In the realm of biopartnerships, success comes from working with a partner over a period of several years to develop a new technology. It depends on having the right mix of:
These elements are crucial not only to starting a new relationship, but also to weathering the rough times that inevitably occur. To make these points more tangible, let's look in a bit more detail at the Argos-Kirin partnership. Because Kirin is a Japanese company, certain cultural issues came into play; however, the overall relationship guidelines apply, regardless of geography.
Cultural differences and intrinsic, core values can can be critical factors in developing a partnership with certain organizations. It is vital to prove that you are both committed to the technology and to the field, and that you trust each other enough to ensure collaborative development.
This was particularly important in our case, given Kirin and other Japanese companies take a longer-term view than US companies. Argos worked at fostering a relationship for three years before securing a deal to develop therapies using dendritic cells with Kirin. But that investment paid off, creating a strong foundation on which Argos and Kirin were able to build a strong collaboration.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - Democrat Terry McAuliffe has used a forum on energy to attack his Republican rival for Virginia governor's positions on family law and other social issues.
McAuliffe held up a copy of an article in The Washington Post that detailed Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's ties to fathers' rights advocates, who believe men are treated unfairly in divorce and custody cases.
McAuliffe says, "We cannot move Virginia forward by holding women back."
He made his comments Thursday morning at a forum sponsored by the Consumer Energy Alliance. On energy issues, McAuliffe said he is not anti-coal, as some Republicans have charged. He says he wants to create new jobs in the coal industry using technologies that mitigate the environmental damage.
McAuliffe spoke first and there was no immediate response from Cuccinelli.

Federal law takes homes to new heights
Flood insurance reform complicates Sandy Recovery
1 2 3 4 Next page >
Before Sandy there was Biggert-Waters.
And if you are having problems fixing up your storm-damaged home or in getting new flood insurance for the next 100-year storm, you can thank Judy Biggert and Maxine Waters.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the two representatives, Biggert, a Republican from Illinois, and Waters, a Democrat from California, sponsored the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, which was passed by both the House and Senate and signed into law by President Obama.
Both senators from New York, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, voted in favor of the bill, as did Carolyn McCarthy, Peter King and the rest of the House's New York delegation.
The Biggert-Waters Act essentially bailed out the National Flood Insurance Program, which was devastated by Katrina payouts. It reauthorized the flood insurance program through September 30, 2017, but it made some substantive changes from the previous program, including altering the way that premium rates for the insurance are calculated.
"It is critical that people repairing and rebuilding structures after storms understand these changes so they can make sound and informed decisions about whether or not they want to place additional resources in harm's way, and so they can understand the financial implications of doing so," a statement on the National Hazard Mitigation Association website reads. NHMA members — government officials and academics who study the mitigation of natural disasters — make recommendations to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers NFIP.
Under the act, higher premiums are to be charged for buildings below the base flood elevation. There will no longer be premium discounts for properties that are below the BFE, even if they were up to code when they were built.
In the past, structures were allowed to keep their original flood-risk ratings even when conditions changed. Under the act, that is no longer the case.

Flood Insurance is BS. Only rich folk can afford it. The widows and orphans get flooded and dont get a dime, while the rich folk get to replace their 80s kitchens and baths all brand new on the govts dime. I guess they get their funds from the widows SS check.
Fact people with flood insurance only pay 1/3 the cost
Fact NFIP tries its best to keep non FHA mortgage holders from getting flood insurance as it is of no benefit to them.
The more folks in flood zones who dont have flood insurance the better since the program takes a loss on each new customer.

What Should You Leave Out for the Easter Bunny?Wednesday, April 9th, 2014
Everybody knows the Easter Bunny loves carrots. But even giant bunnies need something sweet from time to time!
On the night before Easter, most families leave out a couple carrots for the Easter Bunny, a tradition that likely evolved from the Christmas tradition of leaving cookies and milk for Santa.
But we think the Easter Bunny is getting the short end of the stick here!
Surely, he must get a little tired of raw carrots before the night is out. A rabbit can only eat so many vegetables. Especially when he's passing out all those delicious treats to children.
Instead, make your house a memorable stop for the Easter Bunny by leaving him a slice of his favorite dessert — carrot cake!
It's a win-win situation.
The Easter Bunny gets to enjoy a moist slice of cake, and you and your family get to enjoy the rest. He's a big rabbit, but he really doesn't need the WHOLE cake.
We know what you're thinking: "Great! Another task to add to my to-do list, on top of coloring eggs and buying new clothes!" But, trust us, enjoying a gourmet carrot cake is easier than you think.
Bake Me a Wish! can take the legwork out of the task by making and delivering the Easter Bunny's favorite treat right to your doorstep.
You and the Easter Bunny will taste the freshness in every bite of our rich carrot cake. This delicious spice cake is speckled with freshly grated carrots, plump raisins and crisp walnuts. And the two layers of moist cake are bound together with a delectably smooth cream cheese frosting.
Start a new tradition this year and give the Easter Bunny (and yourself) something to smile about!

Mounting evidence indicates that many of the risk factors contributing to type 2 diabetes may be triggered by events in the womb and by the post-natal environment. Early life influences – such as maternal under or overnutrition, diabetes in the mother, low birth-weight followed by childhood overfeeding – increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases later in life. Chronic undernutrition leads to stunting and low pregnancy weight gain and is associated with inadequate nutrition in pregnancy.
Tackling the socio-economics determinants of the poor nutritional status of girls and women is critical, particularly in developing countries were the rate of undernourished women of reproductive age is high. A life-course approach is necessary to reduce the intergenerational transmission of diabetes; prevention must start with a healthy pregnancy, adequate nutrition and growth in foetal and early postnatal life.

What is it about Christmas that turns us all into little kids again? Ooh-ing and aah-ing over twinkling lights, belting out Christmas tunes in the car, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, searching for the perfect branch to hang our favorite ornament, writing out wish lists and anxiously awaiting the presents under the tree, making (and eating) a ridiculous number of cookies & treats…
…and then decorating them like little miniature Santa hats…!?
The Santa hats were a last-minute decision. And, now that I think of it, so were the truffles! It was a last-minute grocery store run before cookie-making with friends. It was worrying that two of the eighteen things we were making might be too similar. It was desperation…followed by inspiration…followed by little bites of deliciousness 🙂
I hope you feel right at home:)

|New Year's resolution: focus on your insides
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Every New Year millions of people vow to get fit and improve their health by joining a gym and following a healthier diet. Unfortunately, many overlook an essential part of overall health and wellness—the digestive system.
When the digestive system is out of balance, you are vulnerable to experiencing occasional digestive upsets which can slow you down and make you feel sluggish and unhealthy.
Registered dietitian and Align spokesperson, Ashley Koff, offers these tips because with the right balance of nutrition, exercise and bacteria you can work towards a healthier 2010:
—Mind your manners: Talking while eating, chewing gum and drinking through a straw can all cause one to swallow excess air, leaving an uncomfortable feeling.
—Great things do come in small packages: Allow yourself to enjoy the occasional treat, but limit it to just a taste or bite. The smaller portion will be better for the digestive system and can help one feel less bloated.
—Find your inner balance: of bacteria, that is. It's important to have a good balance of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in the digestive systems; not enough can lead to digestive imbalance. When used daily as directed, a probiotic supplement can help restore the natural balance and provide ongoing probiotic protection from occasional digestive upsets.
—How sweet it is: Keep this in mind the next time reaching for a treat this year. Sugars, dried fruit, sweeteners and juice are treats that may not be friendly to all digestive systems. Carbonated drinks like sugary sodas can make the stomach feel puffy and distended. Keep it simple—stick to water with lemon or herbal tea.
—UNDERwhelm the digestive system: How do we calm irritability? Take a few things off the plate—literally. When we eat and drink less at one time, we present less to the digestive system.
—Don't feel weighed down: Hop on the treadmill, hit the dance floor or just run around with the nieces and nephews—anything. Working up a sweat releases fluids the body might be holding, and exercising each day can help to move food along the digestive tract. Before beginning a new exercise program or regimen, though, talk to a doctor to see what kind of activity is right.
For the coming year, there are many small changes one can make to look and feel great, including finding smart ways to protect against occasional digestive upsets.

In a 5-minute span of Thursday's meeting of Bellaire Village Council, the Board of Public Affairs was eliminated and the village, once again, employed an administrator.
The two moves took place during the initial part of Thursday's meeting.
Ordinance No. 2012-14 was read for the first time and later passed after Councilman Jim Pyatt motioned to suspend the three reading rules. Councilman Jim Williams seconded and the village's legislators approved the motion, 6-0. The ordinance also passed, 6-0.
The person filling the position will have administrative powers and duties. The administrator must attend all council meetings - and will be appointed by Mayor Vince DiFabrizio.
Shortly after the passing of the ordinance Resolution 990 was passed after having its rules suspended as well.
The resolution was to approve DiFabrizo's recommendation that Dan Marling, currently the village's service supervisor, be appointed as the administrator. It was stipulated that position does not have to be filled by a village resident.
Marling will be paid $18.20 per hour and receive the same benefits afforded to other full-time village employees. Marling will officially serve in his new capacity starting Dec. 30.
Councilman Josh Meyer thanked the Board of Public Affairs members for their service and explained the move is being made to save money, as well as give DiFabrizio a "right-hand man" in leading the village.
"This move is not without undue thanks to the Board of Public Affairs," Meyer said. "We appreciate your service, but we wanted to go with a village administrator to have a right-hand man and allow us to work a bit more efficiently and have someone here on a daily basis.
"We greatly appreciate your service."
Marling also thanked the board members.
"I came in here in April and you gave me a great opportunity and it's been enjoyable working with you," Marling said. "Hopefully, we can carry forth a lot of what we worked on together into the future."

Abdul Amir

- "I knew how disgraceful you were, but I didn't realize quite how shameful you were."
- ―Abdul Amir reprehends his son.
Abdul Amir (Arabic:عبدالأمير) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a supporting character in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Abdul Amir is a wealthy, Emirati businessman. He is Yusuf Amir's father who is most prominently featured visiting his son in Liberty City.
Events of The Ballad of Gay Tony
Arrival in Liberty City
Abdul arrives in Liberty City to meet his son and to go to few business meetings. He is very disappointed with the way Yusuf lives, as he makes very clear during Caught with your Pants Down (using drugs, picking-up hookers...).
Game's End
By the end of TBoGT, after Luis and Tony defeat and kill Ray Bulgarin, Yusuf mentions that Abdul Amir is interested in franchising Gay Tony's clubs. After Tony left Liberty City, it's likely that Abdul and Yusuf franchised the clubs.
Mr. Amir's manner of attire is similar to what many in the Middle East may practice; while donning a white Western suit, Mr. Amir is also depicted wearing a more traditional shemagh headdress complete with an agal.

Find the complete playability you need in your bag with hybrid golf clubs from DICKS Sporting Goods.
Hybrids are often used to replace hard-to-hit long irons or fairway woods in a players bag. This utility club blends qualities of both the iron and woodand its great for golfers who struggle with a 2 or 3 iron on the course.
What are hybrid golf clubs?
Hybrids generally have heads that are similar to a fairway wood with a cavity-style back. The clubface creates a trampoline effect that mimics the performance of many modern woods. A shorter club shaft is easier for golfers to manage on the course. Many hybrid shafts are composed of graphite for improved flex and swing speed.
When selecting your new hybrid golf club, think about the loft angle that correlates with the club you are replacing. Also, select a shaft type and shaft flex that matches your irons or woods. You will have more consistent play with clubs that are of the same type and flex.
Make the next addition to your bag a hybrid club from brands like Callaway®, TaylorMade®, Cobra® and Nike®.
Expert Advice
Many golfers struggle with irons 1 through 4. These clubs tend to feature small clubfaces and low loft, producing a lower ball trajectory on each shot. As a result, many players turn to fairway woods, with their larger clubface and sweet spot.
Pick a set of hybrid golf clubs to experience easier control and loft on the course.

Range Rover has rolled out an impressive campaign to launch the 2012 Evoque. The initial launch event in July 2010 showcased the new compact SUV model, the smallest of the Range Rover line. The Evoque has all of form and function of other Range Rovers, but with greater fuel-efficiency because it 35% lighter than the Range Rover Sport. The launch event was held at Kensington Palace in London in a partnership with Vogue magazine, and closely resembled a fashion show, (appropriate given that Range Rover named Victoria Beckham as the creative design executive behind Evoque.)
Recently Range Rover has been ramping up its marketing with a trans-continental concert event May 21st featuring Cee Lo Green in Times Square, Paolo Nutini in Milan and Mark Ronson in Shanghai performing simultaneously. Evoque models were lined up on the square along with interactive displays, so that attendees could look "under the hood" of the new vehicles. This is part of a 100-city global Evoque tour that Range Rover is calling "The Pulse of the City," playing off the Evoque's city-friendly size and style.
To capitalize on the personalization trend we have seen in so many new product introductions, Range Rover hired The Brooklyn Brothers, and Somesuch & Co to produce an interactive online promotional video, Being Henry. The trailer coaxes viewers to visit the website and make in-video choices for the protagonist, Henry, by dragging him or clicking on options – like a modern, interactive "Choose Your Own Adventure."
The video is quirky, and the events that unfold are hilariously unexpected. The video theme supports the Evoque's customizable features, as well as the tag line Range Rover is using for the vehicle: Where will you end up?
Following the trend of stylized, smaller vehicles like the Mini wagon and Nissan Juke, the Range Rover is an SUV that provides an attractive, more fuel efficient option at a time when gas prices are rising precipitously.

Minimizing the Flow Velocity in a Microchannel
Application ID: 4365
Topology optimization of the Navier-Stokes equations is encountered in different branches and applications, such as in the design of ventilation systems for cars. A common technique applicable to such problems is to let the distribution of porous material vary continuously.
In this model, the objective is to find the optimal distribution of a porous material in a microchannel such that the horizontal velocity component at the center of the channel is minimized.

When I'm reading emails, words that can be confused as dates or times are highlighted as if they are in fact dates or times and when you move the mouse over those words, a popup appears showing something from my calendar.
Is there any way to disable that? It's totally annoying and virtually always wrong.
For instance, if I get an email with this sentence:
You may experience a delay in processing your order
The work "may" will be highlighted as if it is the month of May, which it isn't and which I couldn't care less even if it was!
