As officials await DNA test results they say her small plane attained speeds in excess of 600 mph before it crashed in Mexico.
15:22, UK, Wednesday 12 December 2012
The plane carrying singer Jenni Rivera plunged vertically for more than 28,000 feet before it crashed, officials have revealed.
The California-based performer died on Sunday after the small aircraft she was travelling in crashed after take-off in Mexico.
Mexican officials said that they believed the plane descended near vertically at speeds in excess of 600 mph.
"The plane practically nose-dived," Gerardo Ruiz Esparza told a Mexican radio station, according to the Associate Press.
"The impact must have been terrible."
Authorities said they believe they have found the singer's remains but are still awaiting DNA testing to confirm her identity.
However her brothers said they were still hoping that she was alive, but were bracing themselves for bad news.
"We still have hope that she's alive," Pedro Rivera Jr said.
"It's a 95% chance that she's dead, but we have that belief because we don't have a body. They found clothes."
"If God doesn't come through, he is still the one who gives us life," Mr Rivera Jr said.
Meanwhile dozens of fans have held a vigil outside the singer's Encino home, some singing her songs and mourning her apparent death.

My guide with everything about hex-editing from a while ago has just finished a great update. All forum posts about new discoveries since then have been added, the newest version of Jorrit's guide on map-hex-editing has been completely copied, and some very useful info on resource editing (for DLL and EXE files) has been added.
Be sure especially not to miss that last thing. (It's in chapter A, near the end of the document).
It's all written using Word XP, but I think you can also read it in older versions of Word.

I have a pretty old laptop: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1718. Last year I have cleaned the parts inside the case, there was a lot of dust. Laptop had started to work a lot quieter and it was a lot cooler.
Last 2-3 months it is almost all the time spinning the fan at full speed. It is hotter than it was after cleaning but.. I have opened the case during normal work and .. I just started to touching some parts trying not to short any circuitry. And you know what? I have discovered that the CPU, GPU, heat pipe and other parts are just pretty warm, but.. WiFi card is just burning. I can't keep the outer side of my hand/finger longer than a second one the thin metal cover of the card. Why would the WiFi card got so hot? I suppose it has a lost smaller wattage than CPU / GPU..
Any ideas?

The Leupold M4 line of scopes has become quite broad. To get the wide moa range (140), you have to go with one of the fixed power (16x usually). The variables are nice, but something about variable objective limits the end to end moa adjustment. The M4 variables tend to have 70 to 90 moa at the top end.
The other way around the scope adjustment issue is just to push a bigger bullet faster. For instance the 338 caliber 300gr Sierra matchking, with a 3000fps mz velocity only has around 22 moa of drop at 1000yard with a 100 yard zero. 22 moa is within the reach of less expensive scopes than the M4.
How bout this?

Does wearing a pad vs. a tampon shorten your period?
Great question! I'm not sure if this is medically true (you'll need to see what our health expert Sandy has to say for the real deal), but when I use tampons it can sometimes seem like my period is shorter. Most likely that's because I find them easy to use…no muss no fuss. I'm really interested to see what Sandy has to say about this.
I've always thought that my period seems shorter when I use tampons vs. pads, but I think it's because I'm more aware of the pads than I am the tampons. No matter what you use, your period will last the same amount of time.
You know, I have actually wondered the same thing before! My period suddenly ended while I was wearing a tampon and I thought to myself, "I wonder if that was why." However, the professional side of me will say that I have never read or heard any information about there being differences in length of period depending on whether you wear a pad or a tampon.
Wouldn't it be GREAT if you could shorten the length of your period by using tampons? Too bad it doesn't seem to be the case! (Elisabeth, UBK Health Expert)" - Elisabeth Morray

Diner, this is wonderful! Kahlua and cream is one of my faves; how can you go wrong, with two such luscious tastes?! Perfect, as a nightcap, or an after-dinner drink, this will be enjoyed over and over! Thanks so much for sharing! (As an aside, after pouring kahlua, turn a spoon over, and dribble the cream over the back, into the liqueur; this will help to achieve the 'layered-look!)
DH & I just got home after driving six hours in the pouring, freezing rain. Came in & I decided we needed to sit down, chill & try Diner's Top Hat Shooters. I'm a genius! it was so good and perfect just to help us relax those tense muscles. So glad you won & we got to try this recipe.
Rich and lucious! I didn't even need to do the spoon trick. I just poured the heavy cream Slowly and Viola! Thank you so much diner! Made for Zaar Stars

During the British invasion of the 60's, the Beatles seems to have shaken the ground for Elvis and even threatened his crown but after all the shoutings he stood his ground and remain the king. There were contenders before the advent of the Beatles like Fabian, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly , Cliff Richards and Richie Valen but somehow they failed to even match the power of the king. Was there a time in Elvis lifetime that someone besides the Beatles post a real challenge to his crown?:clap:

The Field Equations of Gravitation
On November 25, 1915, Einstein presented to the physics-mathematics section of the Prussian Academy of Sciences a paper in which 'finally the general theory of relativity is closed as a logical structure' [E1]. The title of that paper is identical with the heading of the present chapter, in which it is described how his field equations reached their final form.
Einstein was still a professor at the ETH when he presented his report to the Vienna meeting discussed in Chapter 13. However, by then he had already decided to leave Zürich.
In the spring of 1913, Planck and Nernst had come to Zürich for the purpose of sounding out Einstein about his possible interest in moving to Berlin. A combination of positions was held out to him: membership in the Prussian Academy with a special salary to be paid, half by the Prussian government and half by the physics-mathematics section of the Academy from a fund maintained with outside help, a professorship at the University of Berlin with the right but not the obligation to teach, and the directorship of a physics institute to be established. The new institute was to be under the auspices of the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft, an organization founded in 1911 to support basic research with the aid of funds from private sources.*
Much later, Einstein recalled an interesting exchange between himself and Planck during this Zürich visit. ' Planck had asked him what he was working on, and Einstein described general relativity as it was then. Planck said, "As an older friend I must advise you against it for in the first place you will not succeed; and even if you succeed, no one will believe you."' [S1].
Einstein reacted rapidly and positively to the approach from Berlin. His correspondence from that period makes abundantly clear the principal reason for his interest in this offer. Neither then nor later was he averse to discussing physics issues with younger colleagues and students; but he had had enough of teaching classes. All he wanted to do was think.

Don't you just love it when a quick thought passes through your mind, and it brings sudden clarity to everything you are facing that day?
It always makes me grateful that God put us together this way… where the thoughts that "come" to us can change our course, give us peace, direction, counsel, comfort……in fact, all that we need !
Wherever you are today, I pray that you find that the Lord God Almighty is ordering your steps and your thoughts. May you know His great peace that passes your understanding.
May He give you "new eyes" to see the same old problems. May you be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ.
We are all holding hands and skipping around in a circle. There are lots of us, and we are little. We are laughing and singing about THE KING. The whole place is just full of singing and dancing and laughing!
I came to love the King and His Kingdom right then and there!
I have never lost that first impression about Jesus and His family—my biggest longing in the world is to feel that way every single day of my life, and the next longing is to make sure that the folks I love and the people in my world see and know what I found that day.
That seems simple enough, doesn't it? It isn't. When we" grow" up (whatever that means) we move on to make things more complicated.
Do you remember when you first met The King? I would love to hear about it.
Every single person
in the whole, wide world
possesses a quality,
a viewpoint, a gift,
a talent, an opportunity, or
SOMETHING that makes that person a" ONE-OF-A-KIND."
Believe that! Today may not be the day for what you have (or what you basically "are") to be on display… or maybe even noticed .
Be patient.
Consider the expression, "an idea whose time has come." Ideas come from people who have been thinking those wonderful and sparkly revelations in the dark. Suddenly, they are in the spotlight! (Or, their idea makes all the difference…some folks do not like the spotlight…)
But we all want to make a difference. In the meantime, celebrate with those "whose time has come." We will want someone to celebrate when our day arrives!
A steady diet of bad news, fearful reports and loud arguments is not good for the body, soul, or spirit…..
Always knew that,
Made up my own world,
Managed to get a lot of other people to live there with me,
Regret doing that. Please forgive me if you are one.
Then Psalms 51:6 hit me over the head one day,
" Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom."
I asked Father God to help me see the truth about my life.
He is doing that….
It is a process…
I am responsible for my own choices, my thoughts, my actions, everything. Thank God for the mercy He has shown to me!
I see now that everything will come to the light, sooner or later. All hidden agendas will be revealed sooner or later. Sooner is better for me. One of my grandchildren reminds me of myself: "Am I in trouble? If so, let's just get it over with, so we can go back to having fun." In my mind, that is a great attitude to have.
Changes have come, and I am fuller of joy than ever. I do not have to fix anything. I just have to "rest" in the finished work of the Cross.
Sometimes, I forget.
It is not like me to want to write a "nice little ditty"— which I have always called any teaching that did not challenge, encourage, or actually increase my insight. However, the season we are presently encountering challenges that thinking; and I am more eager to both write and hear something more light-hearted. I think we are tired of the yelling matches, the fearful reports, and too little money . We need a break from the heaviness of this season we are in. So, I change my mind: A NICE LITTLE DITTY IS JUST WHAT I NEED!!
I almost bought a book entitled "The World's Best Knock-Knock Jokes" today, but I opened the book and read a few. The title lied. I have already heard many of the world's best knock-knock jokes, and I would recognize one of them anywhere. (I have three very funny sons.)They are all grown and living lives of their own, but they could make me laugh during any season, no matter how long or how dark.
If you have children still living at home, please laugh a lot during these trying times– hug them and tell you that you love them a little more than usual. Even if you are light-hearted and full of faith, they are sensitive to the climate in our communities, schools, and other folks they know. I really was impressed with "The Five little Peppers and How They Grew," a book about hard times and all the challenges the family faced together. It is very old, but it is timely. Oh, well, that is all the "nice little ditty " I am good for today… sweet dreams, everyone.
Welcome to my first time at putting my thoughts into my own official blog. It is very scary to me. So naturally I started thinking about WORDS. What is so scary about words? Just exactly what is a word"?
I am sure there are many definitions in my dictionary. Today, I am thinking about a word as a container. One word alone can contain (or hold) a thought, an emotion, a memory, and, I suppose, an endless list of other "things" that need to be expressed.
Words are powerful. Wars have been won by them. Marriages have begun with them. Friendships have been cemented together by words. Grave misunderstandings have been the result of written or spoken words. So words must be very important. Better said, they CAN be very important.
They are also plentiful. One of my favorite authors does not seem to waste one word in his writing. He challenges me every time I read one of his books or articles. He has said that he hires people to criticize his writing. It is working. He has labored at developing his craft. And I want to write like him right now, today, without all that sweat and all those tears.
Words are not just letters in the alphabet all strung together. They can move us to action and inspire us to greater accomplishments. They can cause us to laugh and to cry. I guess you know by now that I admire everything connected to words. (I won't go even into the Word Made Flesh and all that rich revelation. Not today. But I must say this: His Word is the only living group of Words that exists. His Words hold meaning for all time, all people, and have the most power to create life than any other group of words in the universe.)
What is that famous quote about reaching people in any manner, by any means, possible? And the punch line is, "If necessary, use words."

Captain Nick
Actually heard a rumor a few weeks back that Nick Sidorakis was leaving the OSU basketball program.
Sounded off. Still, I sniffed around, and as instincts suggested, it was bad information.
Way bad, turns out.
Tuesday, Cowboys coach Travis Ford named Sidorakis a team captain for next season.
"Nick has done an outstanding job since the end of this past season in stepping up as a team leader. He has done a terrific job of leading the team both vocally and in leading by his actions. he has been handed this honor deservedly."
The Pokes need a leader, after losing James Anderson and Obi Muonelo. Anderson was the silent type who got guys to respond with his work ethic and quest for excellence. Muonelo was never afraid to get in a guy's grill when necessary.
That tandem carried enough clout to command respect, and got it.
Now, OSU is in transition, with its roster and its leadership. And, frankly, Marshall Moses and Matt Pilgrim, for now, must prove they can lead themselves, let alone a team.
Sidorakis is a natural. He's smart. Works hard. A senior. Has an investment, as an Oklahoma kid, in being a Cowboy. It means something to him and he'll press his teammates to invest as well.
Now, Ford's attention spins to finding another captain or two to stand alongside Sidorakis.
"We're looking for someone who holds himself accountable, as well as someone who motivates and holds others accountable," Ford said. "We're looking forward to possibly naming one or two others who could show these same qualities."
Ford has typically pegged seniors to be captains, with Anderson the exception. But Ford isn't locked into an older guy. So, who then?
Maybe Keiton Page, who came out of his shell some last year. Maybe Ray Penn and/or Fred Gulley, point guards who have exhibited leadership traits.
"The team captain certainly doesn't have to be a senior," Ford said. "Nick is a senior, but he has proven to us that he's willing to not only lead by example, but to speak up and be a solid leader vocally. We need another player to do the same thing and join Nick as a team captain."

|Why Most Students Fail Math and What You Can Do About It
|Written by Germain Tanoh, PhD
We all recognize the importance of knowing how to read in our society, but very few view mathematics with nearly the same regard. Most people would be ashamed to admit that they are illiterate, but in North America, it is socially respectable to confess that one can't do math. In a recent survey by the BC Ministry of Education, 56% of grade 12 students in British Columbia said that they are struggling with mathematics.
Math avoidance
Math avoidance has become a very popular sport in the educational system. Students develop strategies and plans to avoid math. They are more inclined to enroll in a program if it requires fewer maths or no math qualification at all. These students are excluding themselves from promising and well-paying careers.
Have a Positive Math Attitude
Bad experiences with math are the main reason students don't like math and can explain their negative attitude about learning math. It is not uncommon to hear students say that they hate math. "I've hated math ever since I was nine years old, when my father grounded me for a week because I couldn't learn my multiplication tables." A student confessed.
Punishment is not the best way to make students learn and perform in math. However, it is alarming that, it is socially acceptable not to do well in math. The message parents are passing to their children is that, it is normal not to learn math. The truth is, students cannot access health sciences & medical school, business school, or engineering school to cite a few without a proof of basic knowledge of math and a good command of math. In other words, parents are closing doors to better jobs for their children. Children only replicate their parent's attitude about learning mathematics. That is why, parent must avoid any math stereotype and focus on finding ways to help their child develop positive math attitude.
Seek for Help
Because of the widespread social belief, as a student you may be content with your poor performance in math and think it is all right to fail math. I am afraid to disappoint you. It is not! If you are struggling with math or you are afraid you will fail math, here are three ways you can get the help you need:
Everyone can do math. Math avoidance or math anxiety is not an intellectual disability but an emotional reaction to math.Take the required action today to free yourself from the social belief and start experiencing the joy of doing math.

In July 2011, 20 children attended the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois' (NKFI) annual Kidney Camp, a free week-long camp for kids ages 7 to 15 with chronic kidney disease. However, the week was cut short for three of the campers when their parents received the urgent call that they had all been waiting for: organs had become available for their children.
Fourteen-year-old Justice Diamond, from the Southside of Chicago, was one of the three children rushed from Kidney Camp to a transplant center to receive his kidney transplant. He was at camp for less than five hours before his mother, Spring, called with the incredible news. Diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure as a result of systemic lupus, Justice and his family had been waiting since April 2010 for the call that an organ was available. His mother was told that they had until midnight to get him to Children's Memorial Hospital, so a nurse helping with Kidney Camp drove Justice half way back to Chicago to meet his mother.
Now that he has received his transplant, Justice will no longer have to undergo daily dialysis treatments. "He's very happy and looking forward to a lot of things that he'll be able to do now, like play soccer," said Spring. "He was part of a soccer team before and when he went into kidney failure, he had to stop playing."
When another camper was asked how she felt about Justice and the two others leaving to get their transplants, she said, "I'm happy for them, but I still wish it was me."
The NKFI's Kidney Camp offers children with kidney disease or a transplant the opportunity to get the traditional summer camp experience while still having trained medical professionals nearby to help with administering medications and dialysis or to assist with any emergencies. The camp is free for kids to attend, and activities include swimming, boating, horseback riding and arts and crafts. Last year the kids even got to take part in a Harry Potter day where campers dressed up as their favorite characters and got to play Quidditch on the soccer fields.
Right now in the U.S. more than 859 children are waiting for life-saving organ transplants.

I am trying to do a budget rebuild and I am enjoying working on it. I have replaced the front cantilever with a v brake and lever. Also the shifter cable covers were rotting so I have new 7 speed to go with the new 7 sp freewheel.
The rear brake is a huge center pull thats located under the frame behind the bottom bracket. It looks like a v brake down there will extend into the crankset / chain so if I keep the center pull there can I use a v brake lever? thanks

Secrets of Success
Confession is good for the soul
Thursday, June 20, 2013
Confession is good for the soul. At least that's what I've always heard. But it's not really my soul that is my concern today.....it's my body. Let's see if confession is good for that, too.
I'm lazy. OK, I've said it. Worse yet, it's true. Mention exercise to me & I can tell you two dozen reasons why I can't do it right now.....or later........or later still. Some of them really sound good, too. But the truth is they are just excuses, because that's easier.
Oh, I do exercise. Sometimes even for several days in a row. But then things come up that prevent me from being more consistent. My current goal is to stop that terrible habit & start exercising on a regular basis. Doesn't have to be a marathon a day - good thing since I'm not a runner & never will be. Just some type of exercise. This evening I did a 75 minute yoga class at the Y. I'll be honest....it hurt. But I intend to go back.. If I did it on a regular basis it wouldn't hurt so much. I'd be able to do the stretches easier & reach farther.
I think my conscience made me go to the class tonight. I did try to find a reason not to go, but then I remembered a conversation I had this morning. My pastor/boss is a runner. They are in the processing of adopting four children - 6, 5, 4 & 2 years old. Since their morning have become pretty hectic, he hasn't been running on a daily basis like he did before. I said a week or so ago to go running after he got the 6 year old on his school bus & the 5 year old to her preschool. I said it's no problem if you run & come in a little later. So today that's what he did & said he felt better & had more energy. I told him I was glad someone was going to be doing some type of exercise on a regular basis.
Hmmmm, can't say it was bad advice & apparently I listened to it at least a little bit. I had also signed up for a yoga class on Saturday mornings, but I think I may cancel that one. I still have Curves to go to 3 time a week now that I have my car fixed. I also have a number of exercise CDs if I decide I don't want to go out (like when it is 100+ degrees for the 10th day in a row).
Anyway, that is my current goal......exercise some way every day. Well, maybe one day a week off.

I must confess that I am lazy too-- and even if I had a complete gym attached to my house, I would sill be lazy! It is difficult for me get out and exercise, but my faithful neighbor keeps me walking each morning. A buddy can give you the --incentive to move your bones!
BTW--- Your boss/pastor must be a marvelous person to adopt four children, 6, 5, 4, and 2--- They will be sure that Dad gets lots of exercise...haha.

Taking it slow is a good plan. It's all about finding an exercise that you enjoy and helps you get healthy. You can do this.

It's hard to step up and increase daily exercises. I'm faced with having to do stretches for my shoulder. I already am in the very good habit of stretching daily to benefit my legs, but now I am supposed to add to that. It's a matter of habit, I think.

Grant recipients
View the list of our grant recipients.
The goal of the Ribbon of Hope grant program is to have a positive impact on the lives of North Carolina's citizens in each of the state's 100 counties. Two times per year the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation (the Foundation) will award grants of $25,000 to North Carolina community-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. These grants will support activities that establish or expand local programs in science, health, and education to serve identified community needs. In addition, grantees will benefit from technical assistance provided by the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits.
In order to be considered, proposals should relate to the establishment and implementation of projects tightly aligned with the goals and objectives of local community agencies and demonstrate their sustainability after grant funds are expended. Most importantly, proposals should address critical community needs that have been identified through comprehensive needs assessment activities. No grants are made for general operating, construction or restoration projects, or for the provision of medical services. The Foundation supports programs that emphasize the understanding and application of health, science, and education to meet the needs of North Carolina's citizens and communities.

One year after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon killed 3,025 people, plunging the United States into war and a suddenly fearsome future, the country today marks the anniversary of 9/11 in countless public ceremonies and private moments, expressions of patriotism and what for some is a deep desire to turn the page.
Even as new intelligence information and threats of terrorism reminiscent of ones detected a year earlier prompted the Bush administration yesterday to put the country on high alert, Americans are going ahead with plans for memorial services, bagpipe processions, peace vigils, prayer services, tree plantings and commemorations of every imaginable sort.
From ground zero to the Southern California coastline, bells will toll, candles will burn, doves will wing their way skyward. There will be cannon volleys and 21-gun salutes and choirs singing Mozart's Requiem from one time zone to the next in a ''rolling requiem'' circling the globe.
In New York City, the daylong observance includes a citywide moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., when the first plane hit the trade center, and church bells will toll at 10:29 a.m., when the second tower collapsed. Relatives of many of the 2,801 trade center victims will carry roses onto the site. President Bush will address the country from Ellis Island at 9 p.m. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is urging everyone to light a candle at 7:12 p.m., sundown.
At the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., more than 13,000 people are expected to turn out for a memorial ceremony at the Phoenix Project construction site, where workers are still repairing the section of building that was damaged. There, too, there will be a moment of silence, as well as the national anthem, a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and an Air Force flyover.
While some offices and workplaces are expected to close, many people wanted to work. Some said they would mark the anniversary quietly, in personal ways on the job. Kristin Liggett, a 25-year-old trail boss for Fort Worth Herd, a tourist attraction made up of longhorn cattle in Fort Worth, said she would use the day, silently, to remind herself not to take things for granted.
J. Mark Scearce, a resident composer at the University of Southern Maine School of Music in Gorham, who is to perform a commissioned piece for horn and piano that is one of three pieces he wrote in response to 9/11, said he did not expect to stay afterward to hear a performance of Requiem because he was assuming that he would want to be alone.
''I just anticipate feelings that inspired these works of mine, which is complete and utter devastation,'' said Mr. Scearce, 41. ''I'm going to be by myself. I'll probably sit under a tree and cry.''
The Bush administration's elevated terrorism alert yesterday prompted Mayor Bloomberg to hold a hastily arranged news conference to assure New Yorkers that the state was not the subject of any particular threat, that the city had been on high alert since last September and that its commemoration events would go as planned.
''I think the most important thing is that we not allow the terrorists' primary weapon, which is fear, to take away our confidence, to take away our freedom, to take away the strength and courage we have shown over the past year,'' Mr. Bloomberg said.
He added, ''No state is better prepared or more organized to prevent and respond to any attack than the state of New York.''
In an earlier interview, he suggested that the Sept. 11 anniversary should be seen as an opportunity not only to reflect on what had been lost but also to set aside grieving and move forward. While he said he understood that the sorrow would not end for some people, he suggested that the city would benefit if the rest could put the experience behind them.
The many and varied meanings that Americans attach to today's anniversary could be seen in the multitude of ways they planned to observe it, from military flyovers to multicultural dance. In Los Angeles and Orange County, Calif., homing pigeon hobbyists planned to release nearly 3,000 pigeons, one for each trade center victim, at 13 grocery stores in the area.
In New Orleans, the Gumbo Krewe, a group of Louisianans who made a pilgrimage to New York last year to pass out free Louisiana cuisine to police officers, firefighters and other workers at ground zero, will distribute free gumbo at a renovated warehouse where the Contemporary Arts Center is exhibiting 175 homemade missing-persons fliers from New York after Sept. 11.
Richard Weir, a 49-year-old captain in the Fort Worth Fire Department who is a second-generation firefighter and spent seven days at ground zero in mid-September, said he had plans to spend part of today with other firefighters and some American Airlines pilots framing a house for Habitat for Humanity, ''in honor of the firefighters and the people that were killed.''
At the Washington National Cathedral, Desmond Tutu, archbishop emeritus of Cape Town, will preach at a service attended by, among others, ambassadors from the more than 30 countries that lost citizens in the Sept. 11 attacks. Mr. Tutu will be interrupted by the tolling of the cathedral's bell four times, at each of the moments when the four highjacked planes crashed.

Aw, shoot!
John gripped his head in frustration. As long as Bixi was in her shell, none of Verno's attacks would be effective at all. And, to make the situation worse, Verno was still going to be buffeted by the sands.
C'mon, Johnny boy... think, think, think!
They needed action and quickly. Verno's Ember attack had made Bixi come out of her shell once, so maybe it'd work again. John and Verno didn't have many other options anyway.
"Verno," John called out to his pokémon, "Blow some more fire in 'er shell! Ember attack, don't let up!"
The Growlithe's fortitude was fading fast but he would not let his trainer down. Aiming at the hole in which Bixi's tail had receded, he let loose a steady stream of fiery embers.

One of the many responsibilities of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is to protect the quality of Indiana's air. This responsibility couldn't be more important because air quality, or the lack of it, impacts the health of every person in our state every minute of every day. Good air quality helps us live our lives with vitality and energy. Poor air quality can cause harm to living things that are exposed to it.
The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 began years of air quality improvement in our country. Health-based national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) have been and continue to be the foundation of the CAA. These standards are maximum measurements allowed in our air by law, for each pollutant covered by the CAA. IDEM was established in 1986 to assist people and businesses located in Indiana to keep the air in Indiana at or below those standards. The following options offer access to more about how IDEM works to improve the air quality in Indiana.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has released The States' View of the Air (2016) report. This report highlights the air quality in counties and cities in the United States. Like a report card, IDEM has graded areas on the state of their air quality under the federal standards for ozone and fine particles.
In December of 2010 Indiana was faced with modeling over a hundred industrial sources to establish sulfur dioxide (SO2) limits necessary to comply with the one-hour standard. Prior to beginning this effort, I called Chet Wayland, Division Director at the U.S. EPA's Office of Air Quality, Planning and Standards (OAQPS) and asked how accurate the AERMOD model was. Instead of referring me to other studies, Chet asked us to conduct an analysis to demonstrate the relationship between AERMOD predictions and ambient measurements. This report documents the work carried out to answer this question.
IDEM wants to help the public stay informed about air pollution regulations, where air pollution comes from, how air pollution is controlled, and how Indiana's air quality compares with national standards. Reports describing Indiana air quality as some of the worst in the nation are untrue. Air Quality 101, a collection of articles from IDEM Assistant Commissioner Keith Baugues, provides accurate information about air pollution in Indiana.

Mapatano Group
This new loan will be used to purchase chairs, beds, mattresses, clothing, TV sets, radios, telephones, etc. The obstacles in developing her business are police and legal actions (especially when goods on sale are presumed to be stolen from third parties).
For the future, she would like to expand her enterprise, provide schooling for her children, and build a house. It should be noted that "bwaka" is a commercial activity for used goods. So, she thanks Hekima for its micro-credit support of women entrepreneurs.
La cliente Kafurhumika est conseillère du groupe de crédit « Mapatano», jeune entrepreneur courageuse, âgée de 36 ans et mère de 8 enfants, qui étudient tous. Son conjoint est un infirmier. La cliente est vendeuse de divers objets d'occasion (second hand) localement appelés « Bwaka ». Elle commença cette activité avec le crédit de l'IMF Hekima. Ce nouveau prêt va lui servir d'acheter les chaises, les lits, matelas, habits, appareil TV, radio, téléphones, etc. Les poursuites policières et judiciaires (surtout lors qu'elle revend un article présumé volé auprès de tiers) sont des obstacles pour le développement de son activité. Dans le futur, elle souhaite agrandir son entreprise, scolariser ses enfants et construire sa maison. Il sied de signaler que le Bwaka est une activité commerciale destinée aux biens d'occasion. Ainsi, elle remercie Hekima pour son soutien en micro crédit aux femmes entrepreneurs.
Additional Information
Important InformationHEKIMA is a microfinance institution headquartered in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with branch offices in Goma and Bukavu.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

International efforts to combat ISIS dominated the recent debate in New York when world leaders converged for the UN General Assembly's sixty-ninth session. Middle East Matters has excerpted passages from regional leaders, all of whom spoke about the ISIS challenge, though in markedly different ways. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and this summer's fighting also featured heavily, with most speeches specifically calling for the Gaza strip to be rebuilt. Read more »

A month ago, almost to the day, the ACLU of Florida filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of students at Yulee High School in northeast Florida, demanding that the school allow the students to form a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) and meet on campus — just as other clubs, such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, do. Yesterday, less than a week after oral arguments were heard by U.S. District Judge Henry Lee Adams, Jr. in Jacksonville, Florida, he issued a preliminary injunction requiring the school to follow the law and give the students equal access.

Bullying of LGBT students in Nassau County Schools is a serious problem according to ACLU plaintiffs Hannah Page and Jacob Brock, who are gay. They reported that students have threatened to beat them up based on their sexual orientation, and both are routinely called derogatory names at the school.
Their sole goal in creating the Yulee H.S. GSA is to open a dialogue with students and administrators to openly discuss tolerance and advocate for an end to bullying, harassment, and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender ("LGBT") students. It became just how clear just such a club is needed when they were told "no" by school officials.
Hannah said that they "just want the club so that straight and gay kids can get together to talk about the harassment and discrimination against gay kids in an open environment."
Yulee High School officials told the students that their club was not welcome unless they changed the name and removed the word "gay." This wasn't the first time students had been denied access though. School administrators denied a similar club at Yulee Middle School in the 2007-2008 school year.
But this time the students weren't going to back down — they called the ACLU.
As part of his ruling, the judge cited an earlier ACLU of Florida case, Gonzalez v. Sch. Bd. Of Okeechobee Co., where the court rejected the school board's argument that such a club would interfere with "discipline in the operation of the school," noting that the "Defendant's position is not well founded and Plaintiffs have established a substantial likelihood of success on the merits."
Beyond allowing the club to meet on campus, the school cannot force the club to change its name, as the principal had previously demanded in reciprocation for club recognition. The school is also prohibited from interfering with the club's goals of advocating "for tolerance, respect and equality of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people," and forbids any retaliation by the school.
All in all — a great day for LGBT students' rights!
I hope that this will make life better for these kids.

CONGRATULATIONS! I've been following this story. I have to say, as a person who's been fighting for gay rights in a city where a thousand people turned out for a "Traditional Family Values" parade, I am proud of these students for standing up for justice.

Keep up the fight Lisa for real family values that respect all members of society and not just the straights.

In the summer of 1940, when Anne was eleven years old, she fell in love with a boy named Peter Schiff who had recently moved to Amsterdam from Germany. He was three years older than her and they ran around the neighborhood holding hands that summer. A few years later, while in hiding, Anne often thought of him and wrote about him. Later, she died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and he died in Auschwitz concentration camp.
Until Sunday, the public had seen no photo of Peter, but a man in Britain realized that his good friend, when he was a boy in Germany, was Anne's lost love. The man, Ernst Michaelis, donated a nice photo he had of Peter (shown above) to the Anne Frank House. In 1939, Ernst was about to be sent to England for safety by his parents (via the Kindertransport program) while Peter left Berlin for Amsterdam with his parents. As the two friends parted, Peter gave Ernst the photo. The inscription says: "In friendly remembrance of your friend Lutz Peter Schiff." Above, I also put a photo of Anne (from the summer of 1940).

Overall good with one annoying bug
This review is from: ECS CDC-I/D2550 v1.0 Intel Atom D2500 Intel NM10 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Pros: Great little low power motherboard. Bought it to replace mb in my freenas system. Good connectivity and worked well out of the box.
Cons: For some reason it does not support 64 bit instructions. (I know about the window graphic driver problem, this is not that) The cpu: Atom D2550 supports 64bit instructions and it is listed as such in the BIOS. However neither linux nor freebsd will install in 64 bit flavors. I get error messages that 64 bit instructions aren't supported. Not sure if it's a BIOS thing or what? Very annoying as I was expecting this board to support x86-64 based off the cpu.
Other Thoughts: The specs list a 10/100 nic with an optional gigabit controller. The board I received had a gigabit nic built in. Happy about that!
Did you find this review helpful?
Yes, it has the D2550 CPU
This review is from: ECS CDC-I/D2550 v1.0 Intel Atom D2500 Intel NM10 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Pros: Low power consumption. Mine is running at about 30 watts, which in a 24/7 video surveillance application, will pay for itself in energy savings alone in about 10 month over the 7 year old 90 watt system it replaced.
Cons: No HDMI output.
Other Thoughts: Newegg description says D2500 cpu but as the model name implies, it does in fact have the D2550 cpu. This is huge because D2550 supports hyper-threading so it will run 4 concurrent processes. Very cool!

This is the oringal recipe from Golden Grahams cereal, but we double everything for a 13x9-inch pan. Except for the marshmallow, instead of doubling to 3 cups, we increase it to 6 cups (we like our marshmallows!). With the extra marshmallows, the mixture fills a 13x9-in cake pan to the top, press into the pan with waxed paper. I like my smores best kept in the fridge, the chocolate-covered Golden Grahams have a nice crispness.
Good! Easy to make. I had to let the bars sit longer than an hour.
Yummy and quick to make! I've made the bar version of these Golden Grahams Smores snacks several times and really enjoyed these tasty little nuggets. Dangerous, though, since it's tempting to keep popping them in your mouth. I chilled a bit to get them to set up faster. These snacks don't store very well..so eat up! Thanks, Faith, for sharing the recipe!
We made these for a get together-they were sooo good. Thanks!
I make these bars all the time - the only thing I do different is I don't melt the chocolate chips into the corn syrup mixture. Instead I add the chocolate chips and some more marshmallows in after it cools a bit (so there are chips and marshmallows speckled about) only thing is you have to work fast before it sets. Very good - always gets rave reviews!
Yum! But as another reviewer said--these do NOT hold well. Here in the humid south, they lost their crisp after a day. Hubby and I didn't like them much stale..... However, my son said they tasted like chocolate bubble gum and polished them off!
super easy and really good- I added some peanut butter since that is how I like my S'more. I did all of this in a microwave for a one dish type of thing- worked out great. Thanks for the great "no cook" recipe.

Don Williams
This is a relatively rare sighting of "Gentle Giant" Don Williams, whose laid-back baritone repeatedly carried him to the top of the country charts throughout the 1970s and '80s. Williams's twangy croon on a succession of ballads epitomized the crossover countrypolitan nature of the era, racking up hits like "I'm Just a Country Boy," "I Believe in You," and "Tulsa Time," the last covered later by Eric Clapton. At the height of his popularity Williams started acting as well, mostly in the films of buddy Burt Reynolds. Williams had apparently retired several times, in part due to lingering back problems. But he continues to resurface, here with a full band, undoubtedly to revisit his lengthy string of nuggets. With Trailer Trash.

In reply to:
kelvinjay: Those sample images really do a good job at showing how poorly the camera can perform. Maybe another photographer would have been able to get better results, but those are just shocking.
The one of the girl laying down holding the Nikon is just full of blown highlights and has no detail in the brighter areas of her jacket. The girl in the back of the cab has her nose blown out too. These aren't just insignificant parts of the compositions.
I'm glad you like it, but if you're the same Jaapv from the Leica forums, you would defend Leica if they blew up your house, stole all your possessions and replaced all your Leicas with Holgas.

Oklahoma health experts discuss obesity during NewsOK Live Hangout
Reporter Jaclyn Cosgrove hosted a Google Hangout Wednesday to discuss obesity in Oklahoma with health experts. Above is a replay video of the hangout. You can also read the entire comment thread below.
2:23 p.m. In regard to morbidly obese minors, what is your opinion as to how educators, state workers, or local leaders should approach parents of these children in order to help their child to become healthy again?
3:50 p.m. @jaclyncosgrove @NewsOK why is it so much cheaper to eat unhealthy? Seems to be way of perpetuating obesity.
3:51 p.m. Here's a question from a reader on Facebook:
How do you help friends who appear to be addicted to food?
How do you help friends who appear to be addicted to food?
3:54 p.m. In regard to morbidly obese minors, what is your opinion as to how educators, state workers, or local leaders should approach parents of these children in order to help their child to become healthy again? (Didn't put my name earlier!)
4:06 p.m. Do you think tackling obesity should be handled state by state or at the federal level?
4:07 p.m. Why are Oklahomans so susceptible to obesity?
4:07 p.m. $1,069 per person! Wow! And future estimates in 2018 are looking at over $5,000 per person? Just unfathomable.Definitely a reason to get a handle on our youth now.
4:12 p.m. What current studies are being done around obesity in Oklahoma?
4:13 p.m. Food - processed foods are designed for profit and convenience - not health. We have to use the same marketing tactics as Fast Food brands for helthy fod promotions - where are coupons for fruits and vegetables?
4:14 p.m. "healthy food' sorry about spelling
4:16 p.m. What is the State of Oklahoma doing currently to help tackle the childhood obesity epidemic?
4:17 p.m. Sidenote: OrganicGirl offers coupons for their veggies!
4:17 p.m. Do not shame the kids about their weight - it doesn't work.
4:20 p.m. What are the commentator's opinions on punitive actions like a "fat tax" that charges a tax on the obese due do their excessive strain on the health care system?
4:20 p.m. GREAT question, Justin!
4:24 p.m. How much research have the panelists done in health gaming for kids? Kids live in 2 different worlds right now - the "school' world and the real world where they are 'connected' with games andentertanment.
4:25 p.m. Thanks for all of your questions. Keep them coming :)
4:25 p.m. You're rocking it, Jaclyn. :D
4:26 p.m. Kierston, to answer your question as to what's being done in Oklahoma to help tackle to childhood obesity epidemic - you should check out the Fit Kids website fitkidsok.org and see how they change policies to make the healthy choice the easy choice for Oklahomans
4:26 p.m. The statement about schools opening their facilities to recreational use sparked a question. Since most gyms don't allow children under 16 or so, what resources do our overweight youth have to start implementing a workout regimine?
4:28 p.m. How are you planning to educate the children? What media and format? Again, what are the best practices you are holding up from elsewhere?
4:28 p.m. Do our experts have any favorite tools or smart phone apps that help people track or monitor calorie intake?
4:29 p.m. My girlfriend is a vegetarian. She is still overweight. For cryin' out loud, how does this happen?
4:30 p.m. RE Guest: You might try MyFitnessPal. My friends use that app.
4:31 p.m. We know physical activity and quality nutrition is important but aren't there some direct connections to societal issues - poverty, abuse and other traumas.
4:31 p.m. Lots of vegetarian food is loaded with calories, for instance, vegan peanut butter fudge brownies from Natural Grocers!
4:31 p.m. This is really interesting. I came in late, so this may have been covered already, but can the panelists discuss how much exercise a busy person should try to fit in? I go to a workout class a couple of times a week, but I have a desk job and feel like I'm not moving not enough. Le sigh.
4:31 p.m. I use it as well and love it! It wanted the conversation to share tools for anyone listening.
4:33 p.m. Its going to take new design - if we want to help our kids, we need to ASK them. They can help as much as anyone with this issue.
4:34 p.m. We're happy to met and share the work we are involved with as well.
4:34 p.m. Blood work results at a health fair at work got my attention. It's now a priority.
4:34 p.m. meet
4:35 p.m. MyLifeCheck.org is a fantastic tool, I'd heard of it before but never used it. I will now!
4:35 p.m. thanks this was cool
4:35 p.m. Thanks for doing this NEWSOK - and Jaclyn!
4:35 p.m. Will there be an archive?
4:36 p.m. Awesome job, Jaclyn! Thanks so much to all of the panelists!
4:37 p.m. hey runhers, the Fit Kids is trying to start Youth Advisory Council again. keep up with them on Twitter @OKfitkids and on Facebook and check out the website fitkidsok.com
4:37 p.m. Hi guys, this is Amber England from the fit kids coalition and if you guys have specific questions for the Fit Kids Coalition I'd be happy to answer them now.
4:37 p.m. RE Guest 2: Yes, we archive all of our hangouts here: http://newsok.com/live/archives
4:40 p.m. Do many OK schools have fast food choices at their schools?
4:40 p.m. Id like to throw this website out there as a great resource for what's being done in Oklahoma around the issue of obesity. There are tools on how to get Oklahoma communities, schools and businesses certified as "healthy" as well as information for individuals on how to take steps to become healthy. That website is shapeyourfutureok.com
4:42 p.m. Most every school in Oklahoma have some sort of "fast food" option in their linch rooms. but recent changes to the federal child nutrition act have actually helped to make school lunches more healthy. There wasn't enough funding tied to the new requirements and that is having an effect on how much of these changes are actually being implemented by our schools.
4:43 p.m. "lunch" room not "linch" room. SORRY!
4:43 p.m. Any other questions for Amber or other panelists? You can also email Jaclyn at firstname.lastname@example.com.
4:45 p.m. Information about the recetn changes to school lunches can be found here: http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/legislation/nutritionstandards.htm
4:48 p.m. Any last questions or comments? We're going to wrap this up soon.
4:48 p.m. Thanks again to those who joined us this afternoon. We learned a lot and hope you did too.

CHAPIN, S.C. – Dr. James E. Wheless, Sr. passed away on May 4, 2009, at 82 years of age. Dr. Wheless came from very humble beginnings, growing up on a tobacco farm in Justice, NC. He served our country in World War II in the 6th Ranger Infantry Battalion in the Pacific area. He became a primary care physician and devoted his life to the pursuit of helping and healing others in Roanoke, VA. He served his community for 34 years and gained the love and respect of his patients. At age 66 he retired and enjoyed being a devoted husband, father, and grandparent. Because of a chronic medical condition, he moved to South Carolina to be near his daughter and grandchildren.
He is predeceased by his father, Ernest Jordan Wheless, and his mother, Mozelle McGregor Wheless. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Carolyn (Cammy); his two children, Dr. James E.
