Vinod grew up dreaming of being an entrepreneur. He was raised in an Indian Army household with no business or technology connections. When, at age 16, he first heard about Intel, he dreamt of starting his own technology
company. Upon graduating with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, he tried to start a soy milk company to service the many people in India who did not have refrigerators. He then came to
the US and got his Masters in Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University. His startup dreams attracted him to Silicon Valley where he got an MBA at Stanford University in 1980. In 1982, Khosla started Sun Microsystems to build
workstations for software developers. At Sun he pioneered "open systems" and RISC processors. Sun was funded by long time friend and board member John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. In 1986 he switched sides and joined
Kleiner Perkins where he was a general partner. There, he worked with Nexgen/AMD, Juniper, Excite, and many other ventures. In 2004, Khosla formed Khosla Ventures. Khosla Ventures offers venture assistance, strategic advice and capital to
entrepreneurs. The firm helps entrepreneurs extend the potential of their ideas in both traditional venture areas like the Internet, computing, mobile, and silicon technology arenas but also supports breakthrough scientific work in clean
technology areas such as bio-refineries for energy and bioplastics, solar, battery and other environmentally friendly technologies.

End of the Line
It's not illegal to install new asbestos-cement pipe — just impractical. Photos: TT Technologies
The bladed cutter head of a static pipe-bursting machine enters the host pipe at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. More than 8,250 linear feet of 3- through 12-inch asbestos-cement water main was replaced with HDPE. The project was specified as trenchless pipe bursting so the pipe could be replaced without removing it from the ground. The Water Research Foundation is seeking agencies for pilot studies of less than 260 linear feet to help develop a "consolidating mud" that can serve as a lubricant and that conglomerates the soil, mud, and broken fragments into a single material; this mud could make fragments left behind more acceptable because they'd be less likely to be disturbed during subsequent excavation. Contact Jian Zhang at 800-666-0206.
Hot spots
For nearly a century, asbestos-containing products have been an important part of American society as thousands of products — from roofing materials and insulation to tape wraps and pipe — were chosen for their strength, low unit weight, and resistance to heat and corrosion.
Hundreds of thousands of miles of the pipe remain in service. Since much of it's nearing the end of its design life, it's the proverbial elephant in the room that must be dealt with but seems easier to ignore.
Originally marketed as a strong, lightweight, non-corrosive alternative to cast iron and steel, asbestos-cement pipe offered superior flow properties due to its smooth interior walls, exceptional corrosion resistance from the asbestos fibers matrix, and simplified construction due to the low unit weight. By the mid-1940s, four major companies were manufacturing the pipe at more than a dozen U.S. plants.
From the 1940s through the late 1970s, the pipe became the predominant choice for water transmission and distribution systems, storm drains, and sanitary sewer force mains. Vitrified clay remained the more popular choice for gravity sewers, and reinforced concrete was typically used for sewer interceptors.
The pipe's performance, however, has varied. Failure rates are higher than other materials when surrounding soils are acidic or high in sulphates, magnesium salts, or alkaline hydroxides. Performance also suffers when the water supply contains ammonia or is classified as "soft water." In clay soils, the failure rate increases during the summer when the groundwater level reaches the pipe. Absent other factors, rates increase linearly with age.
In 1973 the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) was created by the EPA under the Clean Air Act in response to studies that found that asbestos was a leading contributor to asbestosis and certain forms of cancer. Through NESHAP, the EPA sought to protect the public by controlling exposure to asbestos found in more than 3,000 products.
Regulating so many diverse products proved to be daunting, so in 1979 the EPA announced its intent to ban all materials containing asbestos. A decade later, the Asbestos Ban and Phaseout Rule proposed eliminating all asbestos-containing materials in three stages between 1990 and 1997.
When a large manufacturer sued to block the ban, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that EPA had failed to present a compelling case. It did, however, reinforce the agency's responsibility to regulate the material, and asbestos was banned from new products.
After 1973, asbestos fiber content in pipe was reduced from 15% to 20% down to less than 0.2%. By the 1980s its popularity had waned dramatically due to fears of liability and market conditions, especially the availability of PVC pipe. Manufacturers stopped producing the pipe in the United States, but it is still produced in other countries.
In 2002, an American Water Works Association survey of 337 large utilities serving nearly 60 million customers found that 15.2% — more than 30,000 miles — of distribution systems were composed of asbestos-cement pipe. An informal survey using public information sources on the Internet reveals that much of it is installed in the West (see table).
Substantial portions have been in use for 40 to 60 years — its typical life expectancy. With an estimated 630,000 miles of the pipe in the United States and Canada, a tremendous amount will need attention in the near future.
But replacement won't be easy.
The key to regulation centers is on the word "friable," which the EPA defines as any material containing more than 1% asbestos that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. According to the agency, activities such as cutting, grinding, or crushing render the pipe friable.

NSBHS 26th Artist Showcase highlights seniors' works
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 2:20 p.m.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH - Forty-three seniors put their best work on display last week for the 26th Annual Young Artist Showcase entitled, "The Power of Exchange," at New Smyrna Beach High School.
The showcase, which highlights the school's top art students, is a serious event for the seniors who may receive scholarship opportunities for their work.
Tina Curry, department chair and photography teacher, works with each teacher in the art program and together they blend to make a cohesive unit where students can express themselves through many different mediums.
Curry explained that teachers mentor each student, encouraging the student artist to submit 8 to 10 of their best work that ties together a theme or statement that best describes their individual inspiration or intent that captures the audience/viewers attention. Each artist had a personal story that went with their work. Being able to articulate their vision to the observer is also important.
The different "disciplines" or "art forms" are taught by Christine Colby is ceramics/sculpture teacher, and Liz Phillips drawing/painting teacher. Several students take advantage of this "mixed media" to express their gifts.
Students are graded at college level and tested the end of the year with their portfolio. At the showcase, students are judged by a group of professional local artists who specialize in photography, 2- and 3-D art.
Dixie Blake, president of Sister Cities of Volusia County, presented the student awards at the end of the showcase.
Best In Show was awarded to Lindsey Narveh for her photograph of "Let the Games Begin." Second place went to Elaine DeMarco for her "Gifts to the World" display; third place to Shanleigh O'dell; fourth place to Sara Gifford for "Cruise to Paradise." Beverly DeMarco received honorable mention for "Beautiful in the City." All the student displays will be exhibited at The HUB on Canal, as well as other venues throughout Volusia County.

We continue to see Stones Throw Records expand their horizons beyond hip-hop, and as usual, they stray far, far left in genres. Bryant K is another example, with his single "Daisies Grow." He's been active on the NYC scene since relocating in the mid-90s from St. Louis, Prague and Berlin, and is known to be the "downtown swinger." He was also the first to broadcast East Village Radio on Monday nights from 6-8 PM with a show called B-sides.
His 7″ single, "Daises Grow" is now on sale as vinyl or MP3, b/w "Stars"

With some of the powerful and popular female-lead TV shows out there now (The Good Wife, New Girl, Revenge), you might think the gender gap is closing when it comes to small-screen gigs. But no.
TV Guide reports that a new study by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film has found that women held only 26 percent of jobs like writer, creator, producer, director and editor on prime-time shows at ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and CW during the 2011–12 season.
So, please, please, network bosses: more Tina Feys, Shonda Rhimes, Mindy Kalings and Amy Sherman-Palladinos, OK?

"The Wizard of Waukesha: The Life and Legacy of Les Paul" will celebrate the gifted musician and inventor with an ear for the future
CLEVELAND (September 2, 2008) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Case Western Reserve University and Gibson Guitar will celebrate the extraordinary legacy of musician and inventor Les Paul at the 13th Annual American Music Masters® series in Cleveland this November. The weeklong event begins on Monday, November 10, and will feature panels, films and educational programs. On Saturday, November 15, an all-day exploration of Les Paul's impact on popular music Rock and Roll Retrospective: the Les Paul Phenomenon will be held at Case Western Reserve University. Paul is only the second living American Music Master® to be honored with this award; Jerry Lee Lewis was the first in 2007.
A tribute concert will take place on Saturday November 15, at 8 pm at PlayhouseSquare's State Theater. Participating artists will be announced in the coming months. Tickets for the tribute concert are $30, $40 and $50. Tickets for the tribute concert go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, September 24 through playhousesquare.org and at the PlayhouseSquare ticket office (216) 241-6000. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum members will be able to purchase tickets beginning Monday, September 8, at 10 a.m., by calling (216) 515-1939.
"Les Paul's contribution to the history of rock and roll is beyond compare," said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum President and CEO Terry Stewart. "His history as a musician is unparalleled. He has played with everyone from the Andrews Sisters to Eric Clapton and Eddie Van Halen. Those who have witnessed him performing live can testify to his melodic genius and soulful phrasing. His innovations - the solid-body electric guitar, sound-on-sound recording and close miking - helped usher in a new era in recording. The Museum's exhibit, showcasing his innovative instrument design and masterful performance technique, is a cornerstone of our permanent collection."
"Les Paul is a preeminent musical master so it is fitting for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to pay tribute to such an exceptional man," said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO, Gibson Guitars. "There is no greater influence on music than the legendary Les Paul, whom I have the good luck of calling a close and personal friend. All of us at Gibson continue to applaud his many contributions to the world of music and look forward to experiencing the 13th Annual American Music Masters Series that will honor him."
As a player, inventor and recording artist, Les Paul has been an innovator from the early years of his life. Born Lester William Polfus in 1915 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the first instrument he learned to play was actually the harmonica at age eight. After brief experimentation with the piano, Paul picked up the guitar, not knowing he would one day shape the sound of songs composed by countless musicians around the world. By age 13 he was performing semi-professionally as a country-music guitarist and working diligently on sound-related inventions. With his newfound talent, Paul formed a trio and moved to New York. All the while he busied himself as a bandleader who could play both jazz and country music. After moving to Los Angeles, Paul and his trio backed Bing Crosby, and with Crosby's encouragement, Paul built his first studio in his L.A. garage in 1945.
His career as a musician, however, nearly came to an end in 1948, when a near-fatal car accident shattered his right arm and elbow. Nevertheless, he instructed the surgeons to set his arm at an angle that would allow him to cradle and pick the guitar. Paul subsequently made his mark as a jazz-pop musician extraordinaire, recording as a duo with his wife, singer Colleen Summers (a.k.a. Mary Ford). Their biggest hits included "How High the Moon" (1951) and "Vaya Con Dios" (1953), both reaching #1.
Over the years, Paul had become frustrated that the audiences were not able to hear his guitar, so he set out to build one that they could. In 1941, he built "the Log," his first attempt at creating a solid-body electric guitar. He continued to make refinements to this prototype throughout the decade. In 1952, his dream became a reality when Gibson introduced the solid-body guitar that bears Paul's name. Because of his pioneering work, Paul is often called the "Father of the Electric Guitar." The Les Paul guitar has become a staple instrument among discerning rock guitarists. This list of musicians associated with the Gibson Les Paul includes Duane Allman, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Page.
In 1956, Les Paul introduced yet another technological innovation: the first eight-track tape recorder (designed by Paul and marketed by Ampex). Over the ensuing decades, Paul himself has remained active, cutting a Grammy-winning album of instrumental duets with Chet Atkins, Chester and Lester, and still indulges his inventor's curiosity in a basement workshop at his home in Mahwah, New Jersey. In celebration of his 90th birthday, a staggering number of musicians came together to record Les Paul & Friends: American Made and World Played.
Les Paul was inducted into the Early Influence category of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Today, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has a permanent exhibit "The New Sound: Les Paul and the Electric Guitar" on the Museum's second floor in the "The Architects of Rock and Roll" room. The exhibit highlights items loaned by Paul, including the first guitar he ever owned, a 1927 Sears Troubador acoustic guitar and many experimental guitars, including a reproduction of "The Rail" made out of a 2 1/2 -foot length of steel rail with a string held down by a screw at each end.
At 93 years old, Les Paul is still a weekly performer at the Iridium Jazz club in New York City. Paul McCartney, Keith Richards and Tony Bennett are just a few of the stars that have played on stage with this living legend. It's his perpetual love of music that keeps Les Paul rocking.
About the American Music Masters® Series

Bottlenecks cause huge problems in any business. Finding a way to release the flow reduces pressure and stress at all levels of the organization. The problem occurs when one person, or group hold up processes, projects, or even decisions that have a rippling effect down the organization ladder. Here are some of my suggestions to removing bottlenecks and streamlining your business.
Know Who To Really Go To
The problem with most meetings of manager is just that meeting of managers. There is almost no representative of employees on the front lines that directly talk to customers and clients. The people that have most communication with the clients have the least input on streamlining the process, which when you think about it is backwards. The people in the trenches that go in day in and day out, they know what the customer complaints are, they know what's hold up production, they have better rapport with customers than some manager believe.
Identify The Bottlenecks
Have a company wide meeting that has one agenda. Ask employees, managers, etc to all put input on what they see is holding up process, sales, etc. Where are the bottlenecks they see? Some employees might state some profound realization on what they feel is going on and their frustrations. Everyone can give insight to what can be better and what is wrong. One thing you have to do is make sure it doesn't turn into a pointing fingers situation. Explain to group that everyone will have a turn to put their input and state problems they see, and how it can be fixed. Remind everyone that everyone in the company is in it together. What someone does on one end affects the outcome on the other.
Remove The Bottlenecks
If a process or method is not working, completely remove it and design it from the ground up by having employees and managers work together to find an efficient way. With many brains working together others can see problems that can occur or input solutions that can save headaches down the road. Create a process and test it out for a week or month and come back as a group and find out what were the results and did it improve productivity as a whole. Make sure that everyone is allowed to have an input if they have one, this important!
Employees need to understand what they are saying is not falling on deaf ears, so giving them the same power of level of respect as managers and executives will help get better response from them.
One of these company wide meetings may not be enough. I suggest having a meeting once a week or at least once a month to discuss productivity and allow everyone to he heard creates an environment that is constantly moving towards more efficiency.

75gr ? 77gr (part 1 of 2) - 223 / 5.56 / 9mm reload central database
since the infamous 262 load is not generally on the market many have opted to roll their own versions with the 75gr bullet.
the GI version was more than a bit on the "warm" side. i do recall seeing a few flat primers from time to time.
the 75gr bullet is mostly OK in a 1-9" barrel generally speaking.
though longer is better i have used it with good results from a 1-9" DPMS 11.5" at the closer distances your likely to shoot such a short barrel. just don't expect to reach way out with it.
a general rule though is the shorter the barrel the quicker the twist rate for the 75-77gr.
from what i can gather a 14.5"-16" is generally about 110 fps slower than a 20"
my loads generate about 2750fps from a 20" --so my homerolled 262 is closer to the hornady steel match than the real 262 it is plenty strong enough and gives a little safety margin. it shows to have outstanding energy out to about 500m --about as far as i am ever gonna shoot a 223 anyways.
the heavy 75s and 77s have a reputation for being spotty in accuracy with the 1-9" barrels so far i haven't seen many problems though i did have a few flyers till i got the primers and powder charges leveled off.
my experience is nearly the same as the re-loader on the link.
the extra length and mass of the 75gr is helpful in the 223/5.56 as long as you don't give up too much speed or go overpressure.
the 75gr from a 20" is about my favorite all around shooter in the ar-15.

Risk is the season
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 3:32 p.m.
Editor: The state of North Carolina is in the midst of a small scale War to prevent the release of Natural gas by fracturing the bedrock that contains these pockets of gas. Why? The short answer is risk. The gas is forced out of the ground with a mix of chemicals and in a lot of cases waste water. The questions that are largely left unanswered are what will this do to our ground water, our wells, springs and underground water aquifers. In the case of contamination, (the industry likes to say accidental) what means will be employed to correct this? There has been no way discussed or shown to reverse these adverse effects on our water. This in turn will affect the food chain for animals as well as man as the main source of fresh water is polluted.
Then we have to look at the air contamination. These carcinogenic chemicals that the industry refuses to identify even in a medical emergency, also release toxic gas into the breathable air. Not to mention the possible release of uncontrolled methane and propane gas. So far the prospects of drilling and fracturing for this gas is riding rough shod over environmental concerns. All for the sake of a few dollars.
No one has yet released any positive proof that there is enough of this much desired gas to make all this expense and potential destruction worth the risk. There is that word again. Risk. Are the people of this state aware of the risk facing them to let this drilling and fracking occur? Do they realize that the common man stands to gain little or nothing from these procedures. Even if there were a glut of this gas made available, the prices are fixed by the industry. Just because there is more of this gas, doesn't mean the price will go down as it should. It only allows more profits for an industry that seems immune to any controls by our government. We have seen what happens when artificial shortages of gasoline are allowed to be the storyline. The trouble is there is never a reverse, never an over abundance, as gas prices go ever higher. Why would anyone believe that the natural gas industry will be any different? When the board that North Carolina has set up to over see the permits for companies to do this fracking is loaded with people from this same industry, how can this be a fair and unbiased board. When we had at least one qualified member who might actually speak the truth he was removed. Show the public the fair and unbiased members who will be responsible when it comes time to issue permits. There are none. This group needs to scrapped and a neutral board put in its place. One that will not be back scratching when it comes time for the permits to be assigned.

I'm living in a house that will soon not be mine. Two handymen come daily and change things, repaint rooms a dull neutral color. I stopped using the master bathroom because the landlords decided to knock down walls, reposition the toilet and retile the floor.
When I leased this Victorian two years ago, I imagined someday buying it. But after getting to know the place intimately, I decided it would not be a good marriage. The floor plan is choppy, not meant for socializing. The kitchen is far from the dining room, and each of the two "parlors" can accommodate one person and a cat as long as neither is overweight.
As soon as my lease was up, the landlords informed me they were going to sell. I couldn't afford to move right then, so I made a deal. They could revamp the house while I was still in it; I'd stay and even put up with showings when it went on the market. Since I've decorated the place nicely, they would enjoy the benefit of "staging" without having to pay for it. And I could delay the inevitable move. This is how I came to experience the strange emotional detachment of residing in a house that no longer feels like home.
The other day I was weeding the garden, and one of the handymen asked me why I bothered. I told him, "I don't want to leave it choked with weeds."
We both went back to work, and I thought about what happens when we move on. It's so easy to think, I won't be living here anymore, so who cares how I leave the place? But what remains after we settle elsewhere reveals much about us. It shows how caring we are or how careless. Those who leave weeds and rubble in their wake probably do the same in relationships.
Long ago, in another house I moved into, I unlocked the door to find mouse droppings in the kitchen, a bathroom that had apparently not been cleaned for months and windows so dirty, I could barely see out. I was casually acquainted with the couple who had preceded me, and from then on, whenever I ran into them, all I could think of was the dirt they had left for me to clean up. I began to notice their behavior with each other, certain that I saw messiness and neglect beneath the absence of affection between them.
As Rickie Lee Jones sang, "You never know when you're making a memory."
Maybe that's why I prune the bushes and plant blue lobelia in a garden that soon won't be mine. Lobelia can sprout unexpectedly. After a season or two, it just appears, like a gift. What we plant takes root, produces seeds, and blooms not just for us but also for whoever comes after us.
Ideally, that's how we should live our lives—as if each moment has roots and will grow long after we have moved on.
I sit in this garden at end of day, after the handymen have gone and quiet descends. I listen to birds perched high in trees that someone else planted. I spent months transforming this garden, thinking I'd stay forever. I put in lavender, daylilies and jasmine. It's May and all are blooming.
A few friends have told me I made a bad deal with my landlords. And in a way they're right. But I'm learning a precious lesson in these inconvenient months. I'm learning how, at age 60, to become the person I want to leave behind on this earth.

The author, John Shuff, and his wife, Margaret Mary.
I recently spent five days in the Boca Raton Regional Hospital in an attempt to quell an episode with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), my first in 19 years. No one knows how to cure this chronic and progressive disease, so my stays are dedicated to stopping its inexorable advance. After a few days in the hospital, I have to say the support of the hospital's personnel was just what the doctor ordered. I experienced the same treatment at the University of Utah hospital in 2000 when I underwent an operation for a spinal fusion.
Recounting a personal health crisis can be tedious for the average reader; after all, not many people have MS, and not many have had to negotiate the slow decline I have experienced. But that's not the case with caregivers. Everyone can be a caregiver, and most of us will be cast in that role before it's all over.
Chronic illness is tough on everyone, but the real comfort and strength we need to survive each day must come from our spouse, partner, friend—the person who ministers to our daily needs. They are the ones who help us do the things we would normally do for ourselves. Illness is not normal. Illness can rob you of your independence, your strength and your ability to take care of yourself. Illness demands that we swallow our pride and accept the help we need from others, whether it be bathing, getting dressed, any number of personal needs.
Over the years, I've listened to a lot of talks, tapes and sermons on suffering. I've read the books and talked to priests. Most messages are generic, with empty panaceas, devolving into well-meaning suggestions on how to cope. But no one addresses the angst and strain on the caregiver who deals with the sick or disabled.
There are moments I feel trapped by my disease. I feel lonely, marginalized, like I'm no longer in the hunt. That is how it is now, that is my reality. But I have to focus on that other world beyond mine, the one where my caregiver lives, the one inhabited by my family and my friends. I have to understand the emotions and concerns of my caregiver, my wife, Margaret Mary, the one whose world was turned upside down more than 37 years ago when I called from the Mayo Clinic to tell her I had just been diagnosed with MS. From that day in June 1975, it has had a profound effect on her life.
I know how much my illness has limited my wife's life. I don't feel guilt, and I don't look back on what could have been. I mostly agonize for a woman who never signed on for this, who has been rocked by a rabbit punch that has transformed our lives forever.
For those who suffer from an illness, ask God for the comfort and strength to cope each day. Every day I ask Him to constantly remind me to be sensitive to Margaret Mary's emotions, to be optimistic, to be cheerful. To make her life easier.
It's the least I can do.

The truckloads of volunteers that once filled Staten Island streets after Hurricane Sandy struck have dwindled to a halt. But while memories of Hurricane Sandy's devastation have faded for many, the reality remains stark for Staten Island homeowners still struggling to rebuild.
Fortunately, day laborers have not forgotten.
Better known for their predawn gatherings on street corners as they seek work in gardening and construction, these men and women without legal documentation continue to make the nearly five-hour round trip commute from Yonkers to Staten Island to provide for free their skills and expertise. They tear out five-feet-tall weeds suffocating once-green lawns, repair boilers and strip out mold-laden walls.
Last week, men from Obreros Unidos de Yonkers, a group of day laborers in the Yonkers area served by Catholic Charities, accompanied Catholic Charities staff to install sheetrock for a homeowner in Staten Island's Midland Beach.
Catholic Charities has an ongoing involvement with Obreros Unidos De Yonkers, a group of approximately 300 day laborers in the Yonkers area. Through this program, Catholic Charities educates workers on employment rights and responsibilities in order to prevent exploitation and abuse. Catholic Charities also assists in the collection of unpaid wages, helps workers get access to healthcare services, provides emergency food, and offers English language and computer skills instruction.
Please join us in helping Sandy survivors rebuild.
Volunteers are needed to work with us on Columbus Day to replace damaged chain link fencing at a homeowner's yard in the Midland Beach section of Staten Island. We also need folks to help us bundle up the damaged fence and stretch and hang a new one.
All tools and equipment will be provided as well as transportation from Manhattan to the site in Staten Island and back. All we ask is that you bring some muscle and your lunch.

|Men's tennis reaches WAC final
DENVER – The Idaho men's tennis team earned a spot in the Western Athletic Conference finals for the second consecutive season with a 4-2 win over UTSA in Saturday's semifinal.
The second-seeded Vandals got the early lead with an 8-5 doubles win at No. 1 from Marius Cirstea and Abid Akbar and an 8-5 win at No. 3 from Dmitry Perevoshchikov and Cesar Torres. Jose Bendeck and Cristobal Ramos Salazar fell 8-5 at No. 2 doubles.
Ramos Salazar, however, put Idaho ahead 2-0 with a quick 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 6 singles. UTSA's came back to tie the match with wins at No. 3 and No. 1 singles, but Bendeck and Torres won their singles matches at Nos. 4 and 5 to seal the victory for Idaho.
The Vandals improve to 21-6 on the season with the win. Idaho will face the either top-seeded Denver or No. 4 New Mexico State in Sunday's championship match, which begins at 9 a.m. (PT). Idaho beat NMSU 5-2 earlier this season, and had its match against Denver suspended when it was tied 3-3. Idaho will be seeking its first men's tennis conference championship since winning the Big Sky in 1978.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by WantAZebra lovely! Beautiful, sturdy, comfortable, and a great value! February 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SuvS Very nice product at a very nice price My wife has been dreaming about such a chair for long but we have always balked at the price (~$500) at which these chairs usually come at. This one was a great bargain! January 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kelseym Beautiful! I fell in love with this chair when I saw it in store. It's worth the price and more! Very comfortable, soft, the fabric/pattern is very pretty. It's my new favorite reading chair! January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gatermite Great Addition for the Price I have been THRILLED with this chair. Not only is it attractive,but it is comfortable and well built. The fabric has met all of my expectations. The only "assembly" required was to screw on the legs - WARNING, the legs come encased in a zippered area under the chair and are not readily recognizable making us think initally that we didn't receive them in our box! September 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dovey The Nouveau Floral Charlotte Chair, is a nice pop of"eggplant" color. Its a small chair and fits well in the corner of a bed room. It adds a great touch of style. Its not a chair I would recommend for a highly used room, it's more if a decorative piece made for occasional or light use. My elderly mother wanted a reading chair in her Violet bedroom, this works perfectly. The arms are nice as they giver her support when she sits down and gets up. For the price it's a great value and has great style. August 29, 2013

Total project management
Below: Population growth and the demolition of a 30-year-old process treatment unit prompted the city of Lake Jackson, Texas, to commission Carter & Burgess to design a facility expansion from 3.15 to 5.85 mgd. The firm currently is providing construction phase engineering and construction management services for Lake Jackson. Photos: Carter & Burgess
Right: In Missouri City, Texas, Independence Park got a new boat ramp and dock. Carter & Burgess designed them, based on a total project management contract.
Carter & Burgess performed the master planning and design for the development of a new 2 mgd wastewater treatment plant for the Pearland, Texas, Southwest Environmental Center. This project included the development of a master plan for improving the wastewater treatment system in the southwest quadrant of the city.
Building a major municipal infrastructure project is a challenging task for any community. For smaller cities, building something as complicated as a water treatment and distribution plant, a wastewater treatment plant, or another large public works facility can be downright overwhelming.
Few small communities have staff trained in siting, planning, designing, and constructing such facilities. That puts those cities at a disadvantage because those projects require expertise in many disciplines including finance, grant writing, water resource planning, engineering, environmental compliance, and construction management. For those small communities—and often even for larger ones—hiring consultants to provide expertise in these areas is a must.
Historically, on major infrastructure projects, most communities have separated the design contract from the construction management contract and hired different consulting firms to take on these tasks. But for some communities, the benefits of contracting with one firm to manage the entire project from start to finish—a concept called total project management (TPM)—outweigh any concerns that city officials and the public may have.
The argument against the single-consultant approach—and in favor of hiring different firms for the design and construction management contracts—holds that two or more firms provide more scrutiny of the project's design, cost, construction quality, and schedule, In addition, this reasoning goes, if only one firm is involved in design and construction, it is less likely to blow the whistle on any snafus that arise during construction—the "fox-guarding-the-henhouse" principle.
That attitude may be due for revision, though, some local officials say, as they have found the one-consultant, TPM approach to be very successful. "I think (the stigma) is more paranoia than fact," said Lee Dorger, director of public works for Missouri City, Texas.
Dorger, whose city is now engaged in its third TPM contract with Carter & Burgess, Houston, said that having one firm perform both the design and construction management functions improves coordination and communication between engineers and construction personnel. It also greatly reduces the potential for acrimony to develop between the design team and the construction management team. Missouri City has used the two-consultant approach on other projects, he added, and has experienced problems on some of those projects when the design firm and the construction management firm were at odds.
Craig Nisbett, director of public works for Lake Jackson, Texas, agreed. On many projects, a construction snag can lead to rounds of finger-pointing. "When you have different firms, you might have a situation where the construction management team blames the design, and the design team blames the construction management team," said Nisbett.
But when the same firm is responsible for design and construction, the potential for a blame game developing is next to nil. Not only that, when the same firm provides both design and construction management, it is likely to have construction professionals advise designers on the design, and that will increase the odds that designers and construction managers are in sync, thereby preventing problems from developing later on the jobsite.
The TPM approach is most common in two situations: "When you either have to do the project very fast, or when it outstrips the management capacity of the entity (that commissions it)," said David Yeager, an engineer in the project management division of the Texas Water Development Board based in Austin.
When the timeframe for getting the project built is urgent, TPM offers several areas of potential time savings. By using the same firm for two large pieces of the project, municipal officials may review fewer proposals and deal with fewer firms, and thereby significantly reduce the time it takes to scrutinize designs, check references, negotiate prices, and grant the contract.

That's right...my 1996-2011 Pokemon life has been stolen.
The person(s) stole these games:
Red, Blue, Yellow, Pokemon Pinball (GB), Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Pokemon Pinball (GBA), Fire Red, Leaf Green, Diamond, Pearl, and Heart Gold.
Wow...I'm speechless and honestly do not know what to do or say...I guess I just have to deal with it. Getting authorities (police) involved would not be good since nothing can really be done about it...
-Deep sigh- Guess I should re-buy all of them and re-play them all :/
Nah, 'cause then the games I would buy aren't the original Versions that my parents and I bought...
Wow. What a day ruiner...oh well, my day was going bad anyway since my girlfriend that I've been dating for 6 months and 3 days just dumped me.

I want to build a Thompson using the dutigaf tutorial. As I have posted, I am confused as to what the problems are with the law in using the existing parts from 1928 and M1 kits and an 80% receiver. I don't care about possibly wrecking a part. I just don't need the bs from the government bureaucrats.
The tutorials are great. the plan is there. Any advice or encouragement would be appreciated.

Ace shared a two and a half-acre lot off the Silver Summit U.S. 40 exit with Chip, a miniature donkey, and Miss Billy, a buffalo.
"The kids come during the summer months right up to the fence. We have a little bit of grain they can feed them. The kids love them," owner Dave Belcher said.
Belcher believes Ace could have fallen sick after eating too many of the leaves raked up in the pasture. "The other animals were eating it and he might have eaten too much," Belcher said.
While out of town for a couple days, Belcher, who owns Parks City Towing, and his wife Raette, owner of Southwest Indian Traders on Main Street, received a call from a girl caring for the animals just before they returned.
"He was fine that morning but late that afternoon he got sick like he had the flu," Belcher said. "He just fell over and we couldn't get him up. We tried to get the vet, and the vet couldn't get over there in time. But the vet said he probably couldn't have saved him."
Belcher and Raette both come from small farms with wild animals, he said.
They first purchased goats to keep the weeds down. "They were entertaining. So we thought, let's get a miniature donkey. If you feed one, it doesn't matter if you feed six.
Before long, a friend said he knew of someone who had a baby buffalo. So they purchased the five-month-old baby animal and bottle-fed it for two years.
Shortly afterward, they were told where they could purchase a zebra. So they brought Ace home at four-months-old.
Belcher said, as herd animals, the trio had become very good friends over the years. "They were really buddies."
With Ace gone, the Belchers plan to purchase another zebra.
"With all the neighborhood kids that come by, we thought, we'll just have to get another one," he said.

Kobe Bryant took some, well, let's just say interesting photos for the L.A. Times Magazine recently wearing all white outfits.
Many have searched for just the right words to describe one particular look where Kobe Bryant wore a white hat and headband, but TNT host Kenny Smith found just the right words.
"A combination of Tupac and Liberace," Kenny Smith said.
I'm missing the Tupuc resemblence, but there is definitely a flair of Liberace going here. The L.A. Times decided to ask the stylist James Valeri to explain the thought behind the Kobe Bryant "white hot" images.
"The scarf picture and the hat picture were more to create an iconic image. When you do a portrait, you do think of the styling in how they're going to be different and how they're going to stand out. In 10 years time, or five years time, there has to be something particular or strange or different that will stand out. That image will stay in your mind. That's how it's going to become iconic. … A lot of people aren't used to that, so when iconic pictures come out, they're disturbing, insulting, fascinating, it has a strong feeling attached to it, good or bad," James Valeri said.
So what are your thoughts on Kobe Bryant's photos?
