When you think about landscaping your home, you may think that it's only about planting flowers and trees and making sure the grass is green. But, over the years, landscaping has evolved to be much more than that. What's the point of having a nice lawn if your driveway still looks the same as it did 30 year ago? That's where hardscaping comes in. Hardscaping refers to the addition of stonework, or woodwork, to a landscaping project. We incorporate hardscaping into many of our landscaping projects to give your home a completed look.
What Can You Use Hardscaping For?
Many elements in your landscaping projects can be added through hardscaping. Items such as outdoor kitchens, fire pits and water features all use hardscape elements. Hardscaping is used to tie together all the elements of your landscape project. Home owners often overlook parts of their home such as the sidewalk and driveway, but those are both crucial elements in the curb appeal of your home. In this world of keeping up with the Joneses (or Kardashians), curb appeal is vital. At ONE Specialty, we will help you design the perfect hardscape features for your project. When it comes time to assess your home's value, incorporating unique, handsome, hardscape elements can help increase the value.
ONE Specialty Offers Hardscaping Services for:
- Stone Walls: Our stone walls are built to last. We use the highest-quality stone while building, and we can customize the walls any way that your heart desires.
- Patios: We'll create the patio of your dreams. We can build you a patio area that can house a kitchen, a grill, entertainment center, and even a fire pit for those cold nights.
- Pathways: The pathway to your home will be one of the most-seen parts of your home, along with absorbing the most traffic. We build our pathways to be able to withstand not only foot and automobile traffic, but also the sands of time.
- Fountains: Fountains are a great conversational piece for your landscaping project. Whether it's a large or small fountain, then Zen-like motion and sound can make a great addition to a home. We can also create your fountain and build your outdoor area around it.
- And more: Every homeowner will have specific requests and maybe an idea that has never been done before. No matter what you want, tell us and we'll do our best to make it real.
When you're ready to take your landscaping to the next level – if you're looking for a company to build your dream oasis, equipped with a grotto, a kitchen, and a fireplace to keep you warm – give Once Specialty a call at 817-410-1227. Or, fill out our online form located at the bottom of this page. We'd love to hear your ideas and vision and help bring that to life.

According to a USA Today report, at least 4 friends of Junior Seau say he suffered from insomnia and regularly took the drug Ambien.
One of those friends, Nancy Emsley, who worked out at the same gym as Seau, said that she often stressed to him the importance of getting eight hours of sleep after taking Ambien.
In addition to that, taking Ambien with alcohol, which friends say Seau did at times, can increase the effect, and lists one of the side effects as severe depression.
It appears Seau had been taking Ambien or other sleep aids as far back as 2005. Seau's former Chargers teammate Mark Walczaktold USA Today he saw Seau taking a sleeping pill in 2005.
Walczak: "I know he's had a very difficult time sleeping over the years,"... "I think it's gotten worse and worse. Lack of sleep creates huge anxiety."
The 43-year-old Seau committed suicide at his home on May 2nd.

When a generic crystal vase just won't cut it, reach for an Aalto Vase ($113-180). Aalto, a Finnish word meaning "wave", lives up to it's name. The gentle wave design adds class and elegance to an everyday item that looks great with or without the flowers they were designed to hold. Although available in clear and petrol blue, the white and green seems to complement any arrangement.

College Hockey:Arizona State gains split with Penn State after Saturday exhibition victory
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The Arizona State Sun Devils of the ACHA defeated the Penn State Nittany Lions 3-1 to split a two-game weekend exhibition series at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion.
For the second night in a row, the Sun Devils did not come out intimidated by their NCAA opponent, outshooting the Nittany Lions 16-10 in the first period.
The period ended scoreless only because of the stellar goaltending of Penn State's P.J. Musico and Arizona State's Joe D'Elia.
Penn State had three power-play opportunities, including a five-on-three advantage for 46 seconds. However, the Sun Devils' penalty kill excelled just one night after allowing Penn State goals on all three power-play chances. The Nittany Lions killed off the only Sun Devils' power play in the period.
The Sun Devils rolled their first period ferocity into the middle stanza. Just 38 seconds into the period, after a Nittany Lion turnover, and on a two-on-one rush, Dan Styrna found Faiz Khan on the left-wing side and he backhanded the puck past Musico to make it 1-0.
Penn State has now allowed the first goal of the game in five of their six home contests.
Following the goal, Arizona State tightened up defensively, employing a suffocating neutral-zone trap that only allowed Penn State to register nine total shots in the second period. At the other end, Musico remained stout in keeping the Nittany Lions within one following a scoreless middle frame.
Penn State appeared to be given a momentum shift late in the period when Sun Devils' captain Colin Hekle took a slashing minor at 19:16. However, Arizona State killed the penalty as it carried into the third.
The Sun Devils' continued energies provided an insurance marker early in the third. After a pair of Nittany Lions slid down in the slot area to try to block a pass, Kale Dolinski found the loose disc, spun and beat Musico through the five-hole to make it 2-0 at 2:40.
The Nittany Lions' scuffling attack got a much-needed boost from their penalty killers to cut the lead in half. Tommy Olczyk walked down the right wing side after stealing the puck and slid a soft backhand feed to Curtis Loik, who finished it to make it 2-1 at 6:28.
Moments later, the Nittany Lions appeared to have the game tied.
Dominic Morrone deflected Luke Juha's point shot behind D'Elia. Unfortunately, Morrone used his glove to make the tip and the referees immediately waved the goal off to keep the score 2-1 in favor of the Sun Devils.
The Sun Devils made sure Penn State had no more comebacks in them shortly thereafter.
After a Max Gardiner turnover at the offensive blue line, Dolinski roared past the Penn State forward and beat Musico on a breakaway backhander to make it 3-1 at 13:35.
From there, the Sun Devils' defense held strong and D'Elia's 36 saves, including 17 in the final period, were enough to preserve the win.
After the tough defeat, Penn State head coach Guy Gadowsky pulled no punches in explaining his team's loss.
"[Arizona State] definitely wanted to take advantage of this opportunity," said Gadowsky. "One team really wanted to be here and the other did not."
ASU coach Greg Powers saw a greater focus and intensity level from his squad in the second matchup.
"Last night, we blinked and [Penn State] scored three quick goals," said Powers. "It was going to take 60 minutes of intense focus [to win]."
In the opposing dressing room, Loik's frustrations were evident.
"Any team we play, it should be the same mentality," said Loik. "If we had brought what we had brought against Union, we would have been out of here with a victory."

Salads are well stocked with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and there are always a few hot options like Canadian salmon or ratatouille pot pie.

Java Joe'sThere are indeed "few choices left to get that cool Haight-Ashbury '60s feeling." Don't get the wrong idea though; this neighborhood coffee shop isn't overflowing with hippies. It attracts a diverse crowd of cyclists, artists, musicians, hipsters and grownups just looking for a cuppa joe (albeit one with in-house roasted beans). The food is simple and satisfying, from freshly baked scones to waffles, sandwiches and salads. Warning: The scrambled-egg breakfast burrito may cause you to moan out loud.

The burritos and platters are hefty and will fuel a working man all day long. As the name of the place indicates, this family-operated restaurant got its start producing excellent carne seca (and still does) but has branched out into an efficiently-run New Mexican kitchen. Dishes are served on paper and styrofoam, but the service is polite and attentive, and the quality of the food is always perfecto. The most unusual ingredient in burrito or sandwich form here is the "old fashioned" fried bologna, which is far more delicious than you probably think and served, like everything else, with lots of chile.

But stick with the Middle Eastern stuff. Chicken kabobs are moist and unbelievably tender, served with peas on fluffy rice. There's also chicken salan (stewed in a rich, warm gravy heavy with cardamom and mint, among other aromatic spices) gyros and a number of vegetarian choices that come à la carte or as a meal.

Does grow in body size for about 3 years, while bucks become full-grown in about 5 years. However, body growth is not uniform. It occurs in seasonal bursts interrupted by periods of weight loss, regardless of the food supply. Figure 3 illustrates the growth of a buck from weaning through 4 years of age.
Maximum antler size, as measured by the number of points and the spread, is reached by 4 years of age. Massiveness, as described by beam circumference, continues to increase with age until the deer's teeth break down.
Fawns can attain puberty their first fall, but more commonly do so during their second fall as yearlings. However, they are likely to breed as yearlings only when nutritional conditions are good.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office has charged a Laurel Hill man with two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation, two counts of showing obscene material to a minor, two counts of lewd or lascivious exhibition, and one count of lewd or lascivious conduct.
The charges against 49-year-old William Jeffrey Wright of 7971 Steel Mill Creek Road in Laurel Hill involve three separate victims.
Investigators say the incidents, which include fondling, exposure of sexual organs, and viewing pornographic materials with the minors, occurred during a time span ranging from 1992 to 2004.
Wright was arrested Thursday and taken to the Okaloosa County Jail in Crestview.
The investigation started in December 2005 when the mother of one of the victims filed allegations with an out-of-state agency. Deputies say information received during the investigation indicates Wright may have had access to other children in Okaloosa County, as well as in the Mobile Alabama and Jacksonville areas.
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division at 850-609-2000, or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS.

Using a dedicated AC or car charger
I wanted to report the results of measurements I made with a breadboarded charging circuit - in case this might be relevant to others who may be having problems.
But first, a quick reminder. When connected to an AC or car charger, the Clip behaves normally, meaning that the screen goes dark after 15 seconds, and you can play songs, etc., just as if it wasn't plugged it. However, the Clip does actually have to be turned ON to charge. So, you need to turn Auto Power and Sleep OFF when charging. Otherwise, the Clip will shut down at the end of the Auto Power or Sleep period, and charging will stop.
Anyway, in March, 2007, a new USB standard was issued for charging through a USB port. The standard says that a "dedicated charger", which is just a non-intelligent power source provided through a USB socket, should have its Data lines shorted together. The Data lines are the two middle pins of the socket. A connecting device, upon detecting that these two pins are shorted together, will know it need not try to negotiate a formal connection, and can just proceed to draw current. Older chargers, and possibly newer proprietary USB chargers for other devices, may not have the Data lines shorted.
My 1 GB Clip with .20A firmware, turned ON but with audio playback paused and the screen allowed to go dark, and with the Data pins of the charger shorted together, draws 154 ma. from a 5VDC supply. After charging has completed, current drops to 62 ma. It looks like the net charging current is therefore 92 ma.
With the Data lines in any other configuration - either unconnected, or tied high or low through a number of different resistor values - the total current is only 114 ma. Since the new standard requires the downstream device to negotiate permission to draw more than 100 ma., perhaps the Clip refuses to draw more than that from what *might* be a normal USB port.
In any case, it appears the net charging current drops from 92 ma. to 52 ma. if the Data lines are not shorted, which would roughly double the time required to charge the batteries. But even a non-compliant charger would still charge the Clip overnight. So if someone gets no significant charging at all through a USB charger, it may well be because Auto Power or Sleep is turning charging off after 10 minutes, or whatever the setting is.
Hope this is helpful.

Great information, Peabody.
This sounds like an issue that can be resolved with a firmware update.
I actually have a question about this. I've been trying to find a charger with a shorted data line. The one I got gave me the same amount of charge time when I plug it into the computer.
So, the question is, how do I know if the charger has a shorted data line?
But seriously, if you have, or have access to, a multimeter, you would set it to measure resistance/ohms, unplug the charger from the wall, and measure the resistance between the two middle pins of the USB socket. If shorted together the reading will be close to zero ohms. The spec actually just says it must be less than 200 ohms.
If you can't actually measure it that way, you would need to contact the charger's manufacturer and ask.
But you know, if you get the same charge time on the charger as you do plugged into your computer, which would be about four hours from a low-charge state, then that charger is probably compliant with the new spec, and I wouldn't worry about it.

About Fuel Cells
Fuel cells operate on the same principle as batteries. Whereas batteries consume their reactants and must be recharged, fuel cells operate as long as there is fuel. They use the hydrogen and oxygen extracted from the fuel and the atmosphere to create electricity, heat and water vapor. The key to the reaction is the specialized materials called electrolytes in which ionized atoms are soluble, but electrons are not, which creates the electricity.
William Grove produced the first fuel cell in 1839. Fuel cells were used to power all onboard electronics in the US Apollo rocket program in the 1960's, clocking over 10,000 hours without incident. Since then, various fuel cell chemistries have been developed and have resulted in products that each suitable for a range of applications. The table below lists various fuel cell approaches:
Fuel cells are more efficient than traditional engines because there are no energy losses to mechanics. Most power generators are 25 to 35 percent electrically efficient compared to a fuel cell that is typically 40 to 60 percent efficient. Fuel cells' chemical reaction converts directly to energy:
Traditional generator:
Reaction » mechanical motion » electricity
Fuel Cell:
Reaction » electricity
The typical fuel cell involves the flow of hydrogen and air on either side of the specialized material. With the help of a catalyst, the hydrogen is ionized and migrates through the material to combine with the oxygen. The electrons that the hydrogen gives up are collected in an external circuit --and electricity is made.
In a tubular solid oxide fuel cell, the hydrogen flows through a tube that serves as the anode. In this case oxygen molecules from the air are ionized and produce electrons to generate electricity. The ions pass through a solid zirconia electrolyte that is more rugged than traditional molten salts or polymer membranes. In fact, this electrolyte has a similar construction as oxygen sensors that have performed reliably in automobiles for many years.
Not all fuel cells require hydrogen. Solid oxide fuel cells have very stable ceramics that operate at high temperature and can operate on traditional hydrocarbons like natural gas, methane, biofuels and liquid fuels. While this still produces carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas), it produces significantly less carbon dioxide (CO2) in inverse proportion to the efficiency of our fuel cells vs. traditional generators. Typically our fuel cell will produce one half the CO2 that a small combustion engine would. Most importantly, since fuel cells produce electricity through a chemical process, there are virtually no nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions and the added efficiency means less fuel is needed to produce power.

Barnsley's under 21 development side went down 3-2 to an impressive Birmingham City outfit at the Oakwell academy on Monday afternoon.
City took the lead in spectacular fashion through Callum Reilly, who blasted in a 35-yard screamer which gave Lukas Lidakevicius no chance after 22 minutes.
The Reds equalised on the stroke of half-time as Danny Rose latched onto an Erico Sousa pass to slot home.
After the break, Birmingham regained their advantage when the strong Akwasi Asante broke through and blasted the ball past Lidakevicius.
But brave Barnsley again battled back into the game, equalising for a second time through young full-back Matty Steade, who headed in a Rose cross.
With the game seemingly heading for a draw, it was City who stole the points with ten minutes to spare as the impressive Akwasi beat two defenders and blasted in at the near post.
Barnsley went close through Noble-Lazarus and substitute Rhys Oates but visiting 'keeper Nick Townsend ensured City were victorious.

A propane shortage doesn't just mean you'll have a tough time filling your backyard grill tank, the propane shortage has folks who heat their homes with propane facing a state of emergency. According to the Christian Science Monitor on Jan. 21, the cold weather and heavy snows has caused a propane shortage in the Midwest, with Ohio hit extremely hard.
Rural residents that use propane to heat their home are finding the prices sky rocketing and supplies dwindling as the cold weather persists. The shortage of the propane has caused a state of emergency for the state of Ohio today.
Even when the trucks fill up and journey out to the rural residents, the roads are a mess with snow and the drivers are finding it hard to make the deliveries.
A recent Ohio census data shows that about six percent of Ohio residents heat with propane. In the rural counties of Ohio about 20 percent heat with propane gas. If they can't get the gas, or get the trucks out to the rural homes, folks are in danger in the sub-freezing temperatures predicted to continue.
The shortage is linked to last year's fall season and the finger is pointed at an "unlikely culprit," corn, according to the CSM today. A late corn harvest in 2013 and the early cold weather led to the use of the massive heaters to dry the corn.
These heaters are fueled by propane gas. This started the shortage and it perpetuated with the on-going cold weather and the overwhelming need for the gas to heat homes.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Golden Hawks can't wait to see what Jill Munchick will do for an encore.
The 1994 Cloverleaf graduate took over for Matt Clifton as Holly Springs' softball coach after a six-year stint at Smithfield-Selma and promptly sent the Hawks to a place they'd never been before.
"I knew I inherited a team that was talented," said Munchick, who teaches health and physical education at Holly Springs. "We were 18-3 last year, but we just weren't able to get past that third round (in Ohio it would be the round of 16).
"I was trying to challenge them to be better players and create more personal discipline. They worked extremely hard to get there. It kind of paid off and we came together."
Munchick is being modest.
The public school made history by reaching the 4-A State semifinals — Ohio's version of Division I — behind solid players like Erica Nunn and top hitters Cianna Burt, Jenna Firestein and Kristen Krebs, eventually finishing the season 23-3.
The team went on winning streaks of 13 and 10 games, losing in the regular season to only returning state semifinalist Fuquay-Varina in the regular season.
Ironically, it was that 2-1 loss that pushed the Hawks to new heights.
"About midway through the season, it started to come together," Munchick said. "Our pitcher (Nunn) was phenomenal. If we could score three runs a game, we had a chance.
"About halfway through, we were taking care of business. The loss to Fuquay-Varina woke us up. They've always been a powerhouse."
What followed was a stretch run for the ages as Holly Springs continued to knock off teams en route to their voyage to Raleigh to play at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex.
A 1-0 win over Clayton gave the Hawks the Eastern Regional title and a shot at Alexander Central and North Carolina State recruit Chelsea Wilkinson.
Holly Springs went nine innings with the eventual state champions — ranked eighth in the nation by ESPN Rise — before falling 3-0.
North Carolina runs a double-elimination tournament once there are four teams remaining and the Hawks lost 4-0 to defending state champion North Davidson the next day to fall out of the running.
It was the most runs the squad had allowed all season.
"They exceeded my expectations," Munchick said. "For many of us, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. But to play in the state tournament and have another chance next year, they're even more driven to get there and take care of business."
That's the golden nugget in all of this as Holly Springs will have 12 letterwinners back next season, including Nunn, Burt, Firestein and Krebs.
"That's all they talk about," Munchick said. "They can't wait to work this summer and get better. I'm high energy. They thought I was crazy at the beginning of the year, but by the end of the season they were excited. What we did, built a tremendous amount of confidence in our players for next year."

We introduce a family of random locations called "intrinsic location functionals". This family contains and extends far beyond many commonly used locations, such as the loca-tion of the path supremum in a compact interval, the first/last hitting time, etc. On one hand, we prove that under stationarity, the distributions of these random locations must satisfy a group of very specific conditions, including absolute continuity, certain constraints on the total variation of the density functions, among others. On the other hand, this group of conditions actually fully characterizes stationarity, in the sense that a stochastic process is stationary if and only if the conditions hold for all intrinsic location functionals. This provides a new approach to understand stationarity from the perspective of random locations. We further develop structural results for the set of all possible distributions for intrinsic location functionals under stationarity, and derived related optimal inequalities for the expectations of functions of random locations. This is a joint work with Gennady Samorodnitsky.

Ever feel like you just aren't hitting the nail on the head when you try to look fashionable in Chicagoland? Well, you're not the only one. If you think your entire wardrobe needs beefing up and can't seem to find a fashionable look, take a look at some of the actresses and actors and the way they look. When they don't have someone to help them create just the right wardrobe when they are acting in a movie or on TV, look at the credits to check and see whether there is anyone listed that is assigned the task of wardrobe or costume design, even if it's just for a TV show or movie. If the credits are well done, don't be surprised to find at least one person that helps them with that.
Have you noticed how The Goodwife, created for a Chicagoland setting, shows how striking and expensive clothes can create a remarkable look with a moderately large budget and classic yet innovative fashions. Jewelry can enhance the fashionable clothes and make a stunning yet subtle regional chic and simple ensemble for acting that keeps the look memorable. Their budget for clothes, both for men and women, is achieved by careful shopping and use of designer creations that lend themselves to a high class courtroom and behind the scenes air of professionalism. In so doing this, they are convincing examples of actresses and actors portraying successful attorneys in an amazingly remarkable law firm.
Don't be surprised to find that a professional look for work and play can be created without spending a fortune, and dressing for success doesn't mean redoing your whole wardrobe unless you really need to convert your look from at home casual to dressy business creations, as you can see when contrasting your work in your home office with your downtown Chicago serious and doable chic fashion. Take another look at the TV and movie ensembles created for the Midwest and you'll find manageable yet classy looks.

Apalachicola- After 28 years working at Leaven's Seafood, Darren Guillotte said he had unloaded more oysters in his career than he could count... until now. Now, finding an oyster has become almost as precious as finding a pearl inside.
"We got in 40 bags" Guillotte said, weighing each bag as it came in off the boat. "Not bad, but that's off of 8 boats," he added shaking his head.
"The oil spill started a spiral effect, Franklin County Native, Sandy Williams said, "and the water wars do not help."
The community's livelihood has long centered around Apalachicola oysters, but as the population has diminished from a lack of fresh water- many feared the local population would begin to diminish as well.
"Whether they want to go to Louisiana- Texas, and process oysters that way, or find other forms of work. It is dangerous out there on the water. To make that amount of money with overhead and costs and everything, some of it's not advantageous for a fisherman going out there working" Guillotte said.
Williams added, "if we can not earn a living to pay our bills, we'll have to go elsewhere to look for work. Face it, we're a seafood industry and tourism. There's not a lot of work here. And, a lot of people who work on the bay are not able to do anything [else], that's all they've ever done all their life."
Many said they were just taking the situation day-by-day, moving forward toward an uncertain future.
"They're going to have to do a lot of shelling" Guillotte said. "The bars itself needs a lot of shells on it and we need a lot of fresh water. I mean, between the two with the shells and water- get this bay kind of reproducing itself. And if that takes shutting it down, you know that's a possibility too."
Williams told us the community needed, "more money to do more shelling and more training. Teach people how to work off the bay because, we may not fully recover. It's not a promise."

Yes. A weighted total score involves calculating the percentage of the points possible for the item in relation to the total possible points the student has earned. For example, you can grant students a certain percentage of increase of their total course grade as extra credit for completing a particular task or set of tasks. Here is one possible solution to assigned extra credit while weighting grades.
Create an item in the Grade Center that has a "points possible" value of 1. Then, weight the item or the "Extra Credit" category so that it is worth 1 percentage point of the total grade. Give all students 1 point in the extra credit item for simply being in the course, thus avoiding any complaints that only 99% was possible without the available extra credit. Then, give students deserving of extra credit additional points in the extra credit item corresponding to the number of percentage points increase that you desire to award.
To remove weighting from the Grade Center, simply delete the Weighted Total column and use the Total column. Note that the Weighted Total column cannot be deleted if it set to be the External Grade; in this case, first set the Total column to be the External Grade by clicking the Action Link in the Total column and selecting Set as External Grade.
If the Total column has already been deleted, a new one can be created.
Proportional vs. Equal weighting is a setting when you weight by category. It only makes a difference if you have columns with different points possible in the same category (e.g. a Discussion category with columns worth 5 points and columns worth 10 points). If all of the columns in the category are equal, both settings work the same way.
When you have categories of differing values, Equal Weighting converts the columns to percentages and averages the percentages to get the category composite grade. It essentially gives each item equal weight when determining the composite grade. Proportional weighting calculates a category composite grade by adding the raw scores and dividing by the total points possible. It retains the proportional weight of each item, so items with a larger value have more effect on the composite grade.
For example, consider two assignments in a category, one worth 5 points and the other worth 10 points. Assume the student gets 5 points on each assignment.
Equal weighting: 5/5 and 5/10 = (100% + 50%) / 2 = 75% (or you can think of converting it to equal Points Possible: 10/10 and 5/10 = 15/20)
Proportional weighting: 5/5 and 5/10 = 10/15 = 66.7%
The category composite grade is then weighted according to the percentage you indicated for the entire category and combined with the other columns or categories you have included in the Weighted Total.

Earlier this afternoon, while conducting a training exercise a Navy FA-18E Super Hornet crashed off the coast of Virginia Beach, Va.
According to local news reports the pilot ejected and was picked up approximately 45 miles off shore by an unnamed fishing vessel.
Based out of NAS Oceania, the FA-18E is part of Carrier Wing 7 which is currently assigned to the USS Eisenhower.
Local news reporter, Lauren Compton of WAVY-TV, said she observed what was thought to be the fighter jet's pilot being taken from a Navy helicopter. He appeared to be alert.
Although the U.S. Coast Guard was nearby, the investigation will be conducted by the Navy.
This crash comes just one week after a Navy MH-53E crashed approximately 18 miles off shore. Two sailors died in that incident.

Final Stats
Final Box: EMU 3, NIU 1
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois volleyball team was denied in its pursuit of a 2-0 start in the Mid-American Conference as Eastern Michigan won in four sets on Saturday night at Victor E. Court. The loss snapped a four-match winning streak for the Huskies (12-4, 1-1 MAC) and helped the Eagles (13-3, 1-1 MAC) avoid a 0-2 start in league play.
"Every match is going to be difficult [in league play]," said NIU head coach Ray Gooden. "Eastern was angry from their performance last night at Western and made up for it. Our team, for the first time, got pushed and we didn't get ourselves back to doing the things that we normally do. They really challenged us and knocked us out of whack. I give credit to Kim [Berringer] and her squad because they took it to us."
With NIU out of its comfort zone, the Eagles managed to hold the Huskies to a .159 hitting percentage, the second worst performance of the year for NIU. Meanwhile, EMU, who entered the match with a sub-.200 hitting percentage, hit at a .241 clip and took advantage of the Huskies' season-high 32 hitting errors.
The first two sets went back and forth and resulted in a split going into the break. In the opening stanza, Allison McGlaughlin erased an EMU set point chance with a kill, tying the score at 24. Then Sarah Angelos notched a kill to give NIU a chance to grab the set. Back-to-back kills by EMU flipped the table again, but Angelos answered with another putaway to tie the score at 26. However, the Eagles fired back with two more kills to take an important advantage in the match and keep the Huskies on their heels with a 28-26 win.
Down 15-10 at one point during the second set, NIU rallied back to knot the score at 18 and take a 19-18 lead after consecutive kills by Lauren Wicinski. A few plays later, a Mary Kurisch kill broke a 23-23 tie and gave NIU a chance at set point. However, two straight kills by the Eagles gave EMU an opportunity to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the match. After Angelos came up big again with a kill, the teams exchanged points to create another tie, 26-26. Then Wicinski's putaway and an EMU error gave NIU a 28-26 win.
Feeling momentum slipping away, the Eagles countered strongly in the third set by grabbing a 3-0 lead. The Eagles then continued to score while NIU was unable to keep pace, resulting in a 25-15 win for EMU.
In the fourth set, EMU got off to an even better start as the Eagles jumped out to a 6-0 lead. NIU gradually chipped away at the deficit and got as close as one point after two straight Wicinski kills made the score 15-14, but the hole was too deep to dig out of. Following an EMU timeout, the Eagles regained the momentum by taking a 20-16 lead. That push was good enough to help the Eagles close out the match 25-20 and end a six-match losing streak against the Huskies.
"They had big runs in the beginnings of the third and fourth sets that we just couldn't recover from," Gooden said. "We just couldn't turn the right points. Eastern turned those points. We had a chance but just couldn't get points when we needed to get to that fifth set."
Wicinski led NIU with a season-high 27 kills and added 11 digs for her eighth double-double of the season. McGlaughlin (17 digs, 10 kills) and Kristin Hoffman (49 assists, 10 digs) also tallied double-doubles. Angelos turned in a season-high in kills as well with 13, hitting .500 to boot.
Defensively, Amber Walker (26) and Justine Schepler (16) both totaled career highs in digs.
Next up for the Huskies is their first MAC road swing as they take on Ball State on Friday, Sept. 30, at 6:00 p.m. CT and Toledo on Saturday, Oct. 1, at 4:00 p.m.

Structure and
Membranous Organelles
Andrew Staehelin
Eldon H. Newcomb
Cells, the basic units of life, require membranes
for their existence. Foremost among these is the
plasma membrane, which defines each cell's boundary
and helps create and maintain electrochemically
distinct environments within and outside the cell.
Other membranes enclose eukaryotic organelles
such as the nucleus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.
Membranes also form internal compartments, such
as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the cytoplasm
and thylakoids in the chloroplast (Fig. 1.1).
The principal function
of membranes is to serve as a barrier to the diffusion
of most water-soluble molecules. These barriers
delimit compartments wherein the chemical composition
can differ from the surroundings and can be optimized
for a particular activity. Membranes also serve
as scaffolding for certain proteins. As membrane
components, proteins perform a wide array of functions:
transporting molecules and transmitting signals
across the membrane, processing lipids enzymatically,
assembling glycoproteins and polysaccharides,
and providing mechanical links between cytosolic
and cell wall compounds.
This chapter is
divided into two parts. The first is devoted to
the general features and molecular organization
of membranes. The second provides an introduction
to the architecture and functions of the different
membranous organelles of plant cells. Many later
chapters of this text focus on metabolic events
that involve these organelles.

Love, honor, respect: Palestine arts delegation report 4
Here is one wall of five we painted in Romana, near Jenin. How sad that the elders who arranged for us to paint in the pre-school had to ask us to tell North Americans that they teach their children to love life, to honor guests, to respect each other. They do not train their children to be terrorists, they said.
We have loved working with the children, teachers, and families of Romana. They have been so appreciative of our contribution to their pre-school. We asked the children to offer their hands, which we drew and turned into birds, trees, and flowers. When they saw the mural they kept saying, Wow wow wow!
Each time we paint, we're asked to do more and more! It is a true sign of success. We love the curious, playful, slightly mischievous and loving children. I hope we can organize another trip to this village in the near future.

Background: Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-7 is protective in different animal models of acute and chronic kidney
disease. Its role in human kidneys, and in particular hypertensive nephrosclerosis, has thus far not been described.
Methods: BMP-7 mRNA was quantified using real-time PCR and localised by immunostaining in tissue samples
from normal and nephrosclerotic human kidneys. The impact of angiotensin (AT)-II and the AT-II receptor
antagonist telmisartan on BMP-7 mRNA levels and phosphorylated Smad 1/5/8 (pSmad 1/5/8) expression was
quantified in proximal tubular cells (HK-2). Functional characteristics of BMP-7 were evaluated by testing its
influence on TGF-b induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), expression of TGF-b receptor type I
(TGF-bRI) and phosphorylated Smad 2 (pSmad 2) as well as on TNF-a induced apoptosis of proximal tubular cells.
Results: BMP-7 was predominantly found in the epithelia of the distal tubule and the collecting duct and was less
abundant in proximal tubular cells. In sclerotic kidneys, BMP-7 was significantly decreased as demonstrated by
real-time PCR and immunostaining. AT-II stimulation in HK-2 cells led to a significant decrease of BMP-7 and
pSmad 1/5/8, which was partially ameliorated upon co-incubation with telmisartan. Only high concentrations of
BMP-7 (100 ng/ml) were able to reverse TNF-a-induced apoptosis and TGF-b-induced EMT in human proximal
tubule cells possibly due to a decreased expression of TGF-bRI. In addition, BMP-7 was able to reverse
TGF-b-induced phosphorylation of Smad 2.
Conclusions: The findings suggest a protective role for BMP-7 by counteracting the TGF-b and TNF-a-induced
negative effects. The reduced expression of BMP-7 in patients with hypertensive nephrosclerosis may imply loss of
protection and regenerative potential necessary to counter the disease.

Have scoring levels increased big-time over the years, or what?
Four decades ago -- in the 1973-74 season -- Erv Raines had the top series at 728, and there were only two other 700-plus series in the Sarasota-Manatee County Bowling Association from September to May.
That same season, Jerry Klawitter was the first player in eight years to post a perfect game in the area, and there were only 12 other games of 275 or better throughout 1973-74. And in the previous season, John Bancs' 279 was the highest score rolled at any SMCBA center.
Fast-forward to this week, and compare the numbers. This weekend's Examiner.com high-score report from the seven area houses is headlined by Dave Grether's perfect game at Sarasota Lanes and Mike Aleshire's 806 series at Treasure Lanes.
Not only that, there were games of 299 and 297, a pair of 290s, four games in the 280s, ten 279s, ten other games from 270-278, plus 34 series between 700 and 799.
Competing in the La Malinche Restaurant League, Grether had finished his previous week's 781 series with a 299, being stymied by a final-ball 9-pin, but he opened the next session with a 300, before following with games of 216 and 214 for a 730 series that upped his average to 211.
Aleshire pounded out games of 259, 279 and 268 en route to his big series in the Kays-Ponger-Uselton Men's League, where he now carries a blistering 240 average.
A final-ball 10-pin kept Jim Sella from perfection in the same KPU Men's League. He opened with scores of 183 and 210 before the 299 completed a 692 series.
Sam Steiner began his series in the Yoder's Restaurant League at Sarasota Lanes with 11 consecutive strikes before settling for a 118-over-average 297 when a tugged Brooklyn hit resulted in a 5-6-10 split. He finished with a 643 series.
Mike Janosik blasted a 290 game in the middle of a 759 series in the Beef O'Brady's/Parquette Insurance Mixed League at Treasure Lanes, and he also posted 279-704 numbers in the Aero Sol Men's League in the same center. Also in the Aero Sol League, Ryan Williams fired a 290 game as part of 709 series.
Two area females topped the 700 series mark. Mickeal Paige rolled games of 227, 256 and 221 for a 704 set in the Thursday Mixed League at Bowland Port Charlotte, where she carries a 206 average. And Renae Gross posted a 703 set on games of 221, 225 and 257 in the Beef O'Brady's/Parquette Insurance League at Treasure Lanes to up her average to 214.
Eric Knepp fired a 103-over-average 275 game to complete a 667 series in the Yoder's Restaurant League at Sarasota Lanes, and Steve Dodge had a 182-over 731 series on games of 258, 238 and 235 on the final session of the season in the Sun-N-Fun League at the same center.
The following players also rolled far-over-average series: Christian Toepfer, a 172-over 730 in the Friday Mixed League at Bowland; Bill Meyers, a 158-over 728 that began with a 273 game in the After Hours Bail Bonds/Frank Stagg League at AMF Venice; and Emmanuel Rigas, a 150-over 711 in the Environmental A/C League at AMF Gulf Gate.
Also in the After Hours Bail Bonds/Frank Stagg League, Jim Rundell rolled three consecutive 200 scores for a triplicate series of 600. In other high-score reports from area centers:
- TREASURE LANES: Gary Toma 289-705, Gene Bussard 279, Corey Cyr 279, Joe Murray 277-753, Bob Pazur 277, Wayne Carr 270, Jim Aleshire 268-716, David Bird 268, Ed Burlison 267-706, Dave Jodoin 724, Tim Thompson 718, Billy Seymour 714, Robb Hessler 706, D.J.

As HTC released its flagship, the HTC One M8, to carrier stores nation wide, Amazon is offering a deal to hopefully elicit more sales of the device from its own website. Customers who visit Amazon looking for an M8 with Sprint, and Verizon will get the device for $150 with a new two-year contract.
AT&T has chosen to separate itself from the deal, and those purchasing an HTC One M8 on a new two-year contract will still pay the full $199 price tag. To make up for this Amazon says that those who purchase the AT&T version of the M8 today will receive their phone by tomorrow, with Sprint and Verizon customers not receiving their phones until next week sometime.

Lens Flare - From The NorthSPC054 - September 21st, 2009
At the very edge of summer, Estonian producer Rene Pais lights the upcoming dark months with another Lens Flare production. 'From The North' is the bass-driven sequal to Rene's previous track, 'Back In Resort'. Staying close to his roots, Rene hits the exact right spot with a banging but melodic outline, mood-changing, swinging break and a strong feel for cutting-edge progressive.
Remixes come from the hand of fellow Estonian producer Muute and Dutch collective Vast Vision. While Muute took the long road in his rousing, deep-house interfacing progressive remix, Vast Vision went ahead and sped things up a bit with their uplifting, guitar-oriented trance remix.

In this question I asked if there was an analogue of connectedness which applied to dense orders which were not required to be complete. Between them, Noah and Joel showed that every (infinite) topological space is the continuous image of some dense order. But a couple of new questions arose:
As Noah suggests, what happens if we restrain the continuous map f to be injective? It seems to me it's sufficient to restrict f not to be locally constant at any point.
Is there some sort of local property P, stronger than continuity, which applies to the map, in the sense that every x in the dense order X must have a neighbourhood U such that f(U) has property P? For example, in Noah and Joel's construction the map is locally constant, so that a local form of connectedness still holds.

So many times up here
I've cast my arrow down
Upon the hearts of the lonely
So that they may find love.
Eyes, brimmed with tears,
Find each other in the crowd,
Their throbbing red hearts
Scream with desire.
The whole world disappears
As they are taken over by
Childish ,
A glow emanates from their intertwined hands
And their helpless souls drown in each other's embrace.
Their hearts inflamed
And their eyes misty,
They are cloaked and held in the very light of Heaven.
Indifferent to all the perils of the world,
For the fire cannot touch them now.
For even if it does,
They shall hold each other
In an eternal embrace,
Their love conquering all.
But, if love conquers all,
Then why am I so powerless?
Why must I be so close to love,
Only to have it dangle just out of reach?
I shall never know the warmth,
The passion
Which inflames the heart,
Blinding it from all other outside forces.
If only I was blind,
So I didn't have to bear
Seeing one more happy pair
On Valentine's Day.

I don't like Valentine's Day. Probably because I am eternally single.
For the Valentine's contest over at PixieDust-Inc
