Lead: In Mexico late each year, festivities, celebrations, Roman Catholic ceremonies, and special masses mark the day of the patron saint, Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts.
Content: On December 12th, thousands of people make a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Guadalupe north of Mexico City to honor, give thanks or ask for miracles from the Lady--also known as the Virgin--of Guadalupe.
This celebration goes back to the sixteenth century, shortly after the Spanish Conquest of Mexico. According to Catholic records and tradition, in December 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared as a young Native American woman to Juan Diego, an indigenous peasant newly converted to Catholicism. While he was walking on Tepeyac Hill to get water for his sick uncle, Mary allegedly appeared to him speaking the indigenous language of Nahuatl. She asked Juan to visit the bishop on her behalf and petition him to build a church on that same hill in her honor. He did so but the bishop was skeptical.
When Juan returned to the hillside a few days later on December 12th, the Virgin Mary told him to go to the top of the hill and gather roses which do not naturally bloom in that area during the cold winter. He reported to have found beautiful roses in full bloom and gathered them in a native cloak called a tilma and, when he laid the wrap in front of the Bishop, the roses fell to the floor and the image of the Virgin Mary on the hillside was imprinted on the tilma. The Bishop was convinced of two miracles and ordered the building of a church on the site.
There remains controversy as to the name of the Virgin. Some say it refers to a town in Spain, others that it was a corruption of a word or words in the Nahuatl language that sounded like Guadalupe. Today the original tilma can be found in the newer of the two basilicas on Tepeyac Hill. The site is visited by millions each year and the saint has served not only as a symbol of the Catholic faith but also the independence of Mexico.

Macaulay Culkin and Ryan Gosling, eat your smug little hearts out. Robert Burt, of Pittsfield, Maine, took self-reference to another level when he wore his own mugshot for his mugshot. The Smoking Gun reported on Monday that when Burt, who had been arrested on a drunk driving charge back in June, reported to Somerset County jail to serve out his two-day sentence, he was outfitted with a t-shirt bearing his own image from the last time he found himself in front of a police booking camera.
It seems that the police were happy to accommodate Burt's self-described "best mugshot ever," even allowing the kid to move his booking slate so as to not obscure the mugshot within a mugshot. Burt served his 48-hour sentence without incident.
Burt's stunt recalls the pop-cultural Möbius strip that was the exchange between Macaulay Culkin and Ryan Gosling back in May of this year, though this may never have crossed Burt's mind. According to accompanying text on the mugshot tee, it was in commemoration of the "Burt Family Reunion," an event celebrated behind bars by Burt and an unnamed relative also serving time for seemingly unrelated crimes. The event, the t-shirt alleged, was sponsored by "Bud Light and the Somerset County Sheriff."
Whether this was a one-shot deal, or whether Burt has another shirt being printed for the event of his future arrest, it goes without saying that it took a bit more commitment than a pair of thespians hitting up the local Los Angeles screen printer. More to the point, it was refreshing to see a citizen take full accountability for his actions and exhibit a bit of levity as he did so. Culkin and Gosling, however, likely have much better lawyers than the Burt clan.
Calls to the Somerset County Sheriff were answered by a fax machine.

Ed Blackwell: Pentahouve
Ed Blackwell
Ed Blackwell (drums)
Ed Blackwell Project, Vol. II: What It Be Like? (Enja 80542)
Ed Blackwell (drums), Carlos Ward (flute), Graham Haynes (cornet), Mark Helias (bass).
Composed by Mark Helias.
Recorded: live at Yoshi's, Oakland, CA, August 8, 1992
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Blackwell rarely got to record as a leader, and the 1992 live recordings at Yoshi's that were released on two CDs—What It Is? and What It Be Like?—came just two months to the day before his death from the kidney ailment that had plagued him for so many years. Given his condition, he is heard in surprisingly good form on the track, "Pentahouve," which is reminiscent in both spirit and sound of his memorable 1969 duets with Don Cherry, Mu First Part and Mu Second Part. Cherry played both pocket trumpet and flute on those albums, and here is represented by Graham Haynes' cornet and Carlos Ward's flute.
"Pentahouve" commences with Mark Helias's bass intoning the darting staccato theme, before first Ward and Blackwell and then Haynes enter the picture. As the horns replay the intricate melody, Blackwell artfully emphasizes its rhythmic contours. As usual, the singular drummer seems to be continually combining a personal statement with reactive commentary. Cornet and flute engage in an extended dialogue, and Haynes' mellow, muted tone blends nicely with Ward's singing, joyful flute. Blackwell's vigorous unacccompanied solo follows, his mallet work imparting an African quality, while also insinuating New Orleans (his hometown) and martial beats. Best known for his essential work with Ornette Coleman and Old and New Dreams, Blackwell never failed, in any grouping or context, both to energize and enhance a performance, as he does on "Pentahouve."

Assigning a User Roles for Specific Asset Groups
By Owen Allen-Oracle on Feb 06, 2014
Ops Center's roles give you, as an administrator, a lot of fine-grained control over what each user can do. I heard a question recently that demonstrates this pretty well:
"Is it possible to set up a user defined Group and have a User Role restricted to only have specific roles for this group only?"
Yep. To do this, you select the user from the list in the Admin section and click Manage User Roles to bring up the wizard.
To assign a role to a specific group, you deselect the "Use the default Role associations" option. Then, when you go on to the next step, it lets you select which groups the role applies to:
In this case, the user will have the Asset Admin role only for the Example group. They'll be able to take all of the Asset Admin actions for the assets in that group.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Is this a possible miscarriage?
I'm not even sure that I was pregnant, but my husband and I had unprotected sex. That was almost four weeks ago and today while using the restroom I passed a small mixture of blood and white stringy tissue. Since then I have had very little bleeding and only a few stomach cramps. I am due to start my period in 5 days but this felt different to me, not like the beginning of my period.

An amazing invention
The following article appeared in The Waterbury American on Sept. 18, 1863.
In October last, Dr. Solomon Andrews, of Perth Amboy, N. J., commenced the construction of a war aerostat, for reconnoitering purposes, on his own personal responsibility, not being able, after submitting his plans to the War Department, to make the honorable Secretary of War "see the utility" of a machine that would go over into secesh and reconnoitre the force and position of the enemy. His plans showed on the face of them, to any one not stupid, that the machine could not do otherwise than go ahead in any direction in which the bow was pointed, and that, too, with an amount of power or force which might be desired, and which greenbacks would readily procure. The power required and the propelling apparatus added but little weight to the aerostat, whether of large or small dimensions — consequently it did not increase the dimensions of the aerostat beyond that of balloons of ordinary construction, much less in size than many that are now made. The machine made by Mr. Andrews would carry up three men in addition to all the fixtures and paraphernalia for its forwarn movement. It contained 26,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas. It carried him, weighing one hundred and seventy-two pounds and two hundred and fifty-six pounds of ballast.

Greenfield, MA: Scale Model Town in His Backyard
In 1962 Waine Morse decided to build a make-believe store beside his vegetable garden in Greenfield, MA, to house his burgeoning collection of Americana. He couldn't stop.
Excerpt from "'The Man Who Build a Town in His Backyard," Yankee Magazine, December 1989.
It didn't start out to be like this, a whole village, a toy town that he built, one enterprise at a time. Waine Morse doesn't know what it started out to be. He remembers that germ of it, a trip that he and his wife, just then his bride, took to a general store behind the Yankee Pedlar inn and restaurant in Holyoke.
Both schoolteachers, they had been married only a couple of months when in February of 1962 they took a trip during school vacation. It was raining, not a great day for an excursion, but when he saw this place, filled as it was with nostalgic reminders of the decades before — the coffee grinder and the penny candy and the old lanterns and the big potbelly stove — it struck him that that was what he would like to have. A store, a place to put reminders of times past.
He was 28 at the time, and he and Margaret had their whole lives together ahead of them. He had already built a small house for them on land that had belonged to his mother since the 1920s. This was just outside of Greenfield, Massachusetts, where the Mohawk Trail begins to climb west. Though it was modest from the outside –shallow-roofed and single-story — the inside gradually accumulated such Victorian treats as paneled walls and parquet floors, velvet couches and ancestral portraits. "It evolved," he says. That's the way Waine Morse works.
He started on the store, weekends and nights, building it like an old Cape, and roofing it with slate, taking the design out of his head. When he wasn't building, he was collecting. "The first thing I got was a coffee grinder for $16," he says.
Amazing that he can recall, since now the store is stocked to its rafters, floor to ceiling, with washboards, boxes of crackers, butter churns, sacks of flour, coffee cans, biscuit boxes, cakes of Ivory soap, shovels, suspenders, crocks, apple peelers, racks of postcards –an endless inventory of stores past. It might justly be called the collection of a lifetime, except that there is so much else.
Waine Morse is 56 now, his gray hair is thinning, but there is still plenty of bounce in his step. He does not even call this a village. He has no name for this flourishing manifestation of the past, housed in what appears to be a group of sheds, sided in rough pine, the roofs like chicken barns.
It's what's inside that matters. Whatever it is, it now surrounds his house, hidden among trees and continuing up the steep hill above. There are weeds high around the foundations and the dirt paths are obscured by the overgrowth. Beside the vegetable garden, an old steam pumper is covered in plastic. Farther down is an old wooden milk wagon, badly in need of buttressing.
Next to the store is the pharmacy, which he built in 1969. "There was a drug store on the way to Sturbridge, in West Warren. I noticed one day that they were going out of business," he says. He bought the counters and the glass cabinets, as well as the 14-foot-long wall that separated the pharmacist's work area from his customers — a big, old-fashioned affair that includes mirrors framed by dark-stained wood pillars.
He took it down and brought it back to Greenfield, piece by piece. He reassembled it inside his new building. He worked alone — he did then and does now. From that old drug store and from others, and from items bought at flea markets and yard sales, he began to stock the shelves.
Like the general store, there is not a hairline left for expansion. Crammed into the cases and up on the shelves, Waine has lined up hundreds of packets of herbs (frostwort, blessed thistle, horehound, ignatia) and assortments of salves and medical assists — King's Kidney Plaster, Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap, Corn Cure, Tuttle's Family Elixir, Carter's Little Pills, Dr. Blue Jay Corn Plasters, Kantleek hot water bottles, Red Raven Splits of "Laxative Water." There they are, their labels still bright, the wrappers still sealed, full to the top with the old remedies.
Waine Morse has never tried any of them. "I just like to come in here and look," he says. In the windows sunlight shines through big blue and amber apothecary jars. Other jars and bottles crowd in, shoulder to shoulder.

The duty pistol of the USAF was a S&W Model 15 Combat Masterpiece,,,Quote:
During my term in A.F. we carried smith n wesson with 4 inch barrel in 38 sp w/ball ammo.
The main difference in that and this gun was a ramp front sight and adjustable rear sights.
I know exactly what the OP's revolver is,,,
I'm looking at a picture of it in one of my S&W books.
But his response to Holly's nice post was rude and socially unacceptable,,,
He can now do his own danged research as far as I am concerned.
Model 10. I will buy it! PM me

So my dd has very long beautiful light yellow almost white blonde hair. She has always had a ton of hair, born with hair, grows fast...her first hair cut was at 1, then one at 2, and now she had 4" cut off at 3 because it was so long that it was going into the toilet when she was potty training, and looking down! It was over 2 feet long from top of head to ends. Now it's about half way down her back or a little more.
So now I don't know if I should cut it again-short-like shoulder length, or just let it grow. I guess since my husband and I both have dark hair, we know she won't have blonde hair forever, and you can already see where the ends are all light, and the roots are more ashy streaks and darker. I know that sounds dumb, but I love her hair, it's so pretty and every one comments on it! Plus it's just me, holding onto her last bit of baby:) !
Here is the delema-it's hard to brush a 3yr old's hair daily, and wash it. Bath's before bed won't dry before she is ready to sleep, she gets food in it, and she is constandly using her fingers to get the hair out of her face-it doesn't matter if she has dirt from the playground or sticky lollipop on her hands-it will always end up in her hair! Her hair is straight, so the wispy ends around her face (where it is damaged from the food and knots) are much shorter than the back of her hair that is healthy and see's less dinner in it!
SO-if you have a little one with very long blonde hair-what have you decided to do? I asked every one that knows her in person on FB, and they all say "Don't cut it!" But they are not the ones caring for it!
Also I feel like a short hair cut looks cute and young on a 3 yr old, and her hair as it is, gives her a much more mature older child look.

The first order of business is simple: to become a better basketball team.
Such improvement starts on the defensive end and requires an intense commitment. And the players have strengthened that commitment each day during preseason conditioning.
"The guys have done a great job in doing the necessary things to get better," said Arizona head coach Lute Olson. "I feel very good about things right now. Theyˇ?ve been working very hard and itˇ?s very positive now."
The focus is now one of continued improvement, especially when it comes to stopping people.
Last season, Arizona allowed opponents to shoot 35.0 percent from three-point range, allowing 260 treys on the season (8.4 per game) ?C the most in school history. Additionally, UA forced fewer turnovers than it committed for the first time in five seasons, which led to a 20-11 finish to the season.
The reasons were many: inexperience, hardship, injury. Whatever the reason, there wasnˇ?t much bite to go with the Wildcatsˇ? growl.
"One of the biggest problems we had last year was that we were starting two freshmen and a sophomore," explained Olson. "Kirk (Walters) was unavailable because of mononucleosis, which was a real problem, and Jawann McClellanˇ?s knees were a concern. Those were two guys that we were counting on who didnˇ?t really deliver the expected contributions."
Relying on such youth can lead to some ups and downs. In UAˇ?s 20 wins last season, opponents averaged less than 69 points per game. Opponents averaged nearly 79 points per game in the 11 defeats.
"Any time you deal with a young team, you are going to deal with defensive problems," said Olson. "Last year it was a case of our inexperience and the loss, essentially, of two starters, that forced us to zone a lot to try to hide the defensive weaknesses. This year we donˇ?t feel we need to do that."
Olson and his staff return 10 letterwinners from a year ago and add six talented newcomers to the mix. The rigors of last season will benefit the 2007-08 Wildcats having created a solid veteran core, while the rookies add to the overall depth.
"Weˇ?ll have much better depth to demand what needs to be done defensively and to be able to count on that depth to have an impact defensively," said Olson. "We should get more intensity from each guy and have individuals playing less minutes.
"This year we have more experience," he continued. "Jordan (Hill) and Chase (Budinger) ended up being starters last year, now they are included in that group of veterans with Jawann, whoˇ?s knees appear to be in the kind of condition where heˇ?s really going to be able to contribute. We have a much better balance between experience and the rookies."
If the defensive intensity is there, it will serve two purposes. Obviously, it will stop the opposition from scoring. Should the pressure be effective, it will also jump-start the offense. That would be a definite positive for a program that has averaged 80.9 points per game over the last seven seasons combined.
"Defense has always been a key part of our offensive game," said the head coach now in his 50th season in the profession. "In terms of steals, breakaways and generating easy buckets, defense does so much to trigger our attack."
Three players with starting experience anchor the veterans, and each has considerable starting experience.
McClellan, a 6-foot-4, 204-pound senior guard from Houston, Texas, averaged 9.6 points per game and led the team with a 37.8 three-point field goal percentage (37-of-98).
McClellan is also in better shape physically, having dropped 10 pounds, which should help his knee problems. Last year, those recurring knee issues limited him to less than 20 minutes per game in the second half of the season.
"Jawann is in as good of shape as heˇ?s even been," said Olson. "I expect him to be available to us in every game, and not every other game as was the case during league play last year. His experience and perimeter ability will be crucial for us."
Budinger, a 6-foot-7, 203-pound forward from Encinitas, Calif., returns after a stellar freshman campaign in 2006-07 that saw him average 15.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He led the club in three-point field goals (50) and ranked second in steals and third in field goal percentage. For his efforts, Budinger was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year.
Not resting on his laurels, Budinger put in a lot of work on his skills and his conditioning in the offseason. The results are evident to his coach.
"Chase worked harder on his game this summer than probably he ever has," Olson said. "Heˇ?s much more physical. Heˇ?s tougher mentally. He was a key guy for us offensively, but this year we feel like he has made great strides defensively."
Hill, a 6-foot-10, 226-pound forward from Atlanta, Ga., was the surprise of the freshman class last season, coming out of nowhere to start the last 12 games. Over his last 10 games, Hill averaged 7.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocked shots, while shooting 67.3 percent (33-of-49) from the floor.
Though still learning the game, Hill has shown the ability to develop quickly since his arrival in Tucson.
"Jordan has worked very hard on his offensive skills," said the UA mentor. "Heˇ?s always run the floor well and rebounded, but this year he will have to be guarded out to 17 feet."
Two freshmen, Jerryd Bayless and Jamelle Horne, will be counted on for immediate contributions. Both join the program as highly accomplished prep performers.
Bayless, a 6-foot-3, 199-pound guard from Phoenix, Ariz., was a four-time first team all-state selection at St. Maryˇ?s High School and was a McDonaldˇ?s All-American. He averaged better than 30 points per game in each of his last two seasons, including 33.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.1 assists in leading his team to a runner-up finish at the state tournament. He earned player-of-the-year honors from both the Arizona Republic and the East Valley Tribune, and his 28.3 ppg average was the highest career scoring average in state history.
Like former Wildcat Jason Gardner, Bayless has the ability to play either the point or the shooting guard position. Regardless of position, the ball will go through Baylessˇ? hands.
"The big thing about Jerryd is that he is a basketball player," Olson said. "With our motion offense, he is going to be in a number of positions for us. Jerryd is a scorer who makes good decisions. He can easily play either guard position."
Horne, a 6-foot-6, 204-pound forward from San Diego, Calif., was an all-state, all-county and all-city pick after averaging 20.9 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game as a senior. A superb athlete and great defender, Horne compares favorably to former Wildcat Richard Jefferson.
"We believe that Jamelle was the best wingman coming out of the West," said Olson. "He has a great ability to affect the game at both ends of the floor."
Quickness certainly is the forte of this quintet and that will lead to an attacking mindset on offense. "From an offensive standpoint, we are going to open the court up to allow for more penetration," said Olson. "Chase, Jawann and Jerryd are all good at getting the ball to the basket. It will be one of our focuses offensively. We have good quickness and we have guys that can put it on the floor and get to the basket."
Additionally, Bayless gives the Cats another weapon on the perimeter if necessary, which would help Budnger and McClellan, who combined for 87 treys in 2006-07.
"Jerryd, Chase and Jawann are very consistent perimeter shooters and we are going to make sure that we get a good percentage of our shots from those guys," the head coach said.
Four more returning players figure into the top rotation, as seniors Bret Brielmaier, Daniel Dillon, Walters and sophomore Nic Wise should see quality minutes this season.
Brielmaier, a 6-foot-7, 237-pound senior forward from Mankato, Minn., saw action in 22 games last season, averaging 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds. Had it not been for a knee injury in January, Brielmaier would have set career highs in most categories. Still, he averaged a career-best 10.7 minutes per game and shot 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from the floor. Even so, itˇ?s the little things that keep him in the rotation.
"Bret probably has the best work ethic on the team," said Olson. "He understands the game and knows his role. You know heˇ?ll do good things when he is out there."
Dillon, a 6-foot-3, 197-pound senior guard from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, should fill the role as a defensive stopper on the perimeter. He averaged 1.9 points per game last season and connected on 34.6 percent of his three-point attempts and was named Best Defensive Player by his teammates.
"Daniel has shown the ability to be productive at both ends," said Olson. "With his experience, he will help settle things in the backcourt."
Walters, a 6-foot-11, 247-pound center from Grand Rapids, Mich., returns for his fifth year of eligibility after playing a scant three minutes last year while dealing with the aftereffects of mononucleosis. In his 80-game career, the senior has averaged 3.4 points, and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 54.8 percent (103-of-188) and registering 71 blocked shots. His presence will help the Wildcat frontcourt.
"Having Kirk back is going to help us because he is a veteran performer in the post," Olson said. "His shot blocking and rebounding will be a key for us defensively."
Wise, a 5-foot-10, 178-pound, sophomore guard from Houston, Texas, could see a much greater role than the one last year that saw him average just 8.2 minutes per game. Heˇ?s dropped more than 20 pounds since the end of last season and regained much of the quickness that was lacking last season.
"From the end of last year to the start of this year, Nic is easily our most improved sophomore," Olson commented. "Heˇ?s dropped 20 pounds and is much quicker. He still has the attributes of getting the ball ahead, finding the open man, and he can shoot the ball. Now he has the ability to affect the game with his defense."
Adding Wiseˇ?s rediscovered quickness to an already explosive backcourt will help at both ends. Olson mentioned above that Wise will be stronger defensively, but it will allow the Cats to run a two-pronged offensive attack.
"For example, if he and Jerryd are together, whoever gets the outlet pass is going to bring it," explained Olson. "Really, they both are point guards who can play together, and love to play together. Nic and Jerryd on the court together make us a much quicker team."
A trio of juniors will bolster the Wildcat depth in a number of places.
Fendi Onobun, a 6-foot-6, 235-pound forward shot 55 percent from the field in 14 appearances a year ago, averaging 1.9 points and 1.1 rebounds. Look to the glass and in a defensive stance to find the primary contributions from this Houston, Texas, native.
"Fendi has really worked hard," said Olson. "What we need out of Fendi is defense and rebounding. Whatever offense he can give us through his offensive rebounding will be very beneficial."
Mohamed Tangara, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward from Bamako, Mali, saw action in 12 games last season. Said Olson, "Mohamed continues to develop. I believe he can he can be a force on the boards for us."
David Bagga, a 6-foot-5, 182-pound guard from Foothill Ranch, Calif., is the scout team leader. He made the most of his seven appearances last year, knocking down both field goal attempts.
"David is a good guy to have around because he does everything he can to help make us better," Olson said. "Heˇ?s a team guy."
Besides the aforementioned Bayless and Horne, Olson expects big things from the newcomers. Alex Jacobson, Zane Johnson and Laval Lucas-Perry each bring needed skills to the roster. Walk-on Lucas Spencer will aid in practice situations as well.
Jacobson, a 6-foot-11, 243-pound center from Santa Ana, Calif., averaged 13.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game last year in helping Mater Dei High School to the California Division II state title. Since joining the program, Jacobson has impressed the staff with his work ethic.
Johnson, a 6-foot-5, 199-pound guard from Phoenix, Ariz., is an outstanding shooter who connected on 44 percent of his three-point attempts and averaged 23.6 points and 7.8 rebounds at Thunderbird High School. He was an all-state honoree last year.
Lucas-Perry, a 6-foot-3, 189-pound guard form Grand Blanc, Mich., enters the program as an all-state performer in both football and basketball. He averaged 21.0 points and 8.0 rebounds as a senior and was the most valuable player in the Michigan High School All-Star Game.
"We will definitely get help from the freshman class," said Olson. "Laval was an all-state two-sport star who brings a lot of toughness. Zane is best known for his shooting touch. Alex has been here most of the summer and has worked very hard on conditioning and fundamentals and is probably the most pleasant surprise of the class."
Spencer, a 6-foot-5, 187-pound junior guard from Yuma, Ariz., joins the program as a walk-on after spending the previous two seasons at Grayson County College in Denison, Texas. Like Bagga, he will make most of his contributions in practice situations.
"If" is always a big word in the preseason. And if the variables fall together like Olson envisions, then the 2007-08 campaign should prove to be an entertaining and successful one. But it wonˇ?t be without hurdles.
This yearˇ?s non-conference schedule includes road games with Kansas, Illinois, UNLV, Memphis and Houston. Virginia, Texas A&M and San Diego State highlight the home portion of the slate before the Wildcats jump into the always-challenging Pac-10 double round robin.
"There is no question this team will be challenged by this schedule," said Olson. "But I believe that this team will be up to that challenge. They will be ready to get after it."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The 15th-ranked women's tennis team (10-2, 4-0 SEC) will host No. 23 Vanderbilt (11-5, 3-1 SEC) Friday in Tuscaloosa before traveling to Lexington to take on Kentucky (8-7, 0-4 SEC) on Sunday. First serve is set for 3 p.m. CT and 11 a.m. CT, respectively.
"We're looking forward to hosting Vanderbilt at home Friday afternoon," said Alabama head coach Jenny Mainz. "We're hoping to get a lot of fans out for some exciting tennis. We always have quality matches with the Commodores."
Last time out, the Crimson Tide posted a 5-2 victory over TCU. Alabama battled back to sweep the three doubles matches, two of which were 9-7 victories, and won four of the six singles contests to take the team victory. Alabama remains perfect in doubles with a 10-0 record in doubles points. In fact, the Tide has only lost one doubles match all season and has only had one match left undecided. Senior Courtney McLaneclinched the won for Alabama over the Horned Frogs as she posted a 6-4, 6-4 victory at the No. 3 position.
The Commodores split their last two matches, falling 6-1 to No. 2 Florida in Gainesville before defeating South Carolina 5-2 in Columbia. Vanderbilt has three players in the latest national rankings in No. 28 Jackie Wu, No. 80 Lauren Mira and No. 81 Marie Casares. They also boast three doubles combinations in No. 24 Wu and Mira, No. 40 Alex Leatu and Wu and No. 71 Ashleigh Antal and Casares.
Alabama is 15-21 all-time against Vanderbilt, with the last match going to the Commodores in a 4-3 win in the 2011 SEC Tournament.
The Wildcats have lost six straight matches with their most recent defeats coming at South Carolina, 6-1, and at No. 2 Florida, 7-0.
Kentucky leads the series against Alabama 25-10 with the Tide taking the last two meetings, posting a 6-1 home victory in 2011 and 4-3 win in 2010 in Lexington.
"Our team has done an excellent job of handling one match at a time," added Mainz. "Nothing is different with this home match or our away match at Kentucky. We are focused on getting a good start and being ready to go from the first ball."
Live scoring will be available for both matches. Friday's scores can be found by clicking here, and Sunday's scores can be found by clicking here.

The Future of Time and Attendance: Seven Trends to Look For
The American Payroll Association (APA) and Replicon are pleased to invite you to a special eLearning webinar. There is no cost to view.
As the pace of business increases and organizations become more complex, time and attendance processes need to evolve in order to keep up with business' changing requirements.

Mexicue Expanding; Tacombi's Trucks Getting Close
It's a veritable rainbow of taco trucks.
Taco truck fans: Your moment is now. Mexicue sends word that it's not only opening that second brick-and-mortar location (on Forsythe between Broome and Grand, September 8), but it's also rolling out another tangerine-orange truck "later this summer." Expect that to possibly roam "Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Columbia University, NYU, and lower Manhattan" (notice they don't say midtown), and maybe even your birthday-etc.-party-whatever — i.e., it's available for events. (See fun video of how those dudes roll over on The Feast.) Evidently, both Mexicue trucks need christening: If you have ideas for names, post 'em on Facebook, tweet them with the hashtag #mexicuenames, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. And speaking of brightly colored taco trucks, we checked in with Fonda Nolita owner Dario Wolos about the fleet of Tacombi vans he's planning. Wolos tells us he just got his third VW in from Mexico; the second two are yellow and green, and before it gets cold he's hoping to install one of them at a permanent space in the Flatiron and one in Williamsburg.

I want to know how many bytes per second can I write to the disk and read from it.
How can I do that on linux machine?
Use a benchmark tool like bonnie(++). It's easy to install on about every distribution, and since it measures different aspects, you get quite a good picture how the system performs in a given situation.
If you just want to use basic tools, you could use dd:
For write speed:
(The product of bs and count should be at least twice your RAM size)
For read speed:
Remember that this is a very rough estimate and measures a situation that is unlikely to occur in normal operations.
I would just use hdparm to measure the read speeds of the drives:
you can test read speeds on formatted drives with data on it but be careful with writing as if wrongly used can corrupt data.
Hope that helps, RayQUang
Iozone, bonnie++, nmon (realtime) - they all work.
Josh Berkus gave a pretty detailed talk at pgCon 2009 on performance tuning; the first half or so is just dedicated to measuring disk I/O and solutions. It's big and long, but you only need to watch it once to get an idea of what sorts of things to think about.
Also take a look at the benchmarking video, which covers much of the same content.
iometer has also been around for a while.

this gun is truly amazing, i purchased 11/14/2011 with side rail and aftermath 4x32 tactical scope this gun is very acurate and powerful for field combat.
Pros:the gun is very realistic in weight and materials used to build
Cons:the first time i went to adjust hop up discovered sliding bar missing i am sure just an oversight, also rear cover for battery in butt stock had loose screw attachment fixable with wood glue. both items really did not bother me gun overall is worth every penny.

For the 2nd Rundown I bring you a revolution! He is coming. The end begins tonight. Here he is, making his Rundown debut:
He is….
No. You know what, before I introduce him, watch his theme & tron to get you excited at this link:
Ok, you've probably guessed by now (I mean come on, who doesn't recognize that theme?!), but here he is:
"?"! (Question Mark. Queschy for short). He is the newest member of the reactions, and he barely made the cut. Now there are the posits (+), negs (-) and queschies (?). The queschies will be used for segments I think are important but I do not have a decisive opinion on (yet or at all)
+ Ziggler vs. Punk was a great match, and I really liked the finish with Laurinaitis. Good timing on all parties' part. I don't mind the finish as we'll probably get a good, 20-30 minute match at the Rumble.
+ Laurinaitis as a character is really growing on me. In my eyes he should become The Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, and the PERMANENT RAW general manager.
+ Punk's animal cruelty line. I'm adopting that one.
+Santino. Aahhh, Santino… Barrett Baggage had me ROFLing, and the Santino Choo Choo only made the ROFLing bigger
? Y2J's return. While I think Jericho was brilliant in the way he trolled the audience, it WAS for a full 10 minutes and we still have to see where it goes from here. 5 minutes would have still worked, and made Rhodes vs. Bryan a bit less of a train wreck (see below)
? R-Truth's face gimmick works. So far. I would still rather see him with Miz as a dominating Tag Team, but we'll see how he fares moving forward.
-I am shocked no women's rights group has sued WWE yet. The way they are treating their female employees is disgusting. And where oh where were your Divas champion and her best friend (who is buried like crazy, by the way)?
-Bryan vs. Rhodes – This match should not have happened. And if it did, it shouldn't have had a clean finish. And if it did, it needed to last over 5 minutes, at LEAST 15. But no, all of these mistakes were made. Both men defend their titles on Smackdown, and neither one should come off weak prior to it. Well, both men came off weak. Bryan did for getting a roll-up victory and not a decisive one against the IC champion, and Rhodes did for losing in 5 minutes. Horrible booking, especially since this is WH vs. IC – champion vs. champion. To open a weekly show. In a 5 minute match. I'd rather see a tag between champions and challengers – Booker betrays Cody which leads to Show knocking him out and Bryan getting a blind tag off of Show and picks up the victory. Both matches get much more buildup that way – AND NEITHER CHAMPION LOOKS WEAK IN THE PROCESS. Also, this solves the following neg,
-Why is Kane (even in theory) tagging WITH Henry AGAINST Big Show?! Henry took him out – after he fought him FOR TAKING OUT HIS FRIEND BIG SHOW. No sense in this whatsoever.
– And WHY was Kane taken out of the match? Give a concrete and logical reasoning, please!
– Also, placing this match on the card after Y2J's return was a bad decision, Y2J (deliberately) killed the crowd and should have ended the show – even if there was a hole in the ring during his return, it wouldn't have mattered much with the way it was handled. And if they wanted Kane to end RAW for shock value, they should've delayed his attempted homicide via inferno of Ryder for next week's show, as the crowd was too exhausted to care. They already had a main event for this week, there was no need for another one.
– The follow up from the powerful ending of last week's RAW was too anti-climactic. I know Cena is not going to turn or change his behavior over night, but there had to be a better way to handle it than they did.
+ Great choice to make the IC title match the opener (in theory – see the first neg for a metaphorical picture of me backpedaling). Gets the crowd hot and they won't be burned out by the time of the WHC main event. Also great that Booker comes out first. The champion used to always come out last, now they do it when they please. I would not be surprised if both this and Cody kicking out of the scissors kick were Booker's ideas to put him over. Way to go, Book! Now Cody is going to seamlessly move on to Goldustin Rhodes, and he is on the verge of being elevated to main event status.
+ You know the AJ-Bryan coupling is a golden idea when Bryan kissing her on the forehead (!) gets a big pop. I, like The Choice, am very jealous of Bryan. What I wouldn't give to kiss AJ on the forehead…
+ Hunico vs. Dibiase… Both men are great wrestlers and it showed. Now please change the first's gimmick and the latter's music and send them to the upper midcard. When Rhodes is scheduled to drop the IC title, I want it to be to Dibiase (or McIntyre… But I always want McIntyre to win gold of any kind).
+ Sheamus vs. Barrett feud – pretty please/finally! Sheamus' wisetale storyteller gimmick is interesting. I am undecided on it just yet.
+ Cole on Santino become assistant to the SD! General Manager: "We'll go the way of WCW with these two running the show!". Normally I'm against such jabs, but this time it was actually funny.
+ Bryan's deluded cockiness is so good! And he plays it off wonderfully, he's really having fun with it. The more I think about it, the more I want Bryan to turn heel. If the ratings are dropping because he doesn't look the part – make that part of his heel gimmick, make that a reason people hate his guts. He isn't a Superstar, and he's damn proud of it.
+ Henry at ringside for the main event was great. "SHUT UP!" and "What kind of dumb question is that?!" are among the jewels he said to Cole and Josh, which fit his character perfectly.
+ That main event was played off wonderfully. Bryan is the king of in-ring nuances – He is careful, but less than when he was facing Henry because he's cockier now. And it's working – he had the upper hand for more of the match than you'd expect. And only Bryan could find a logical, believable way to get a LeBell Lock on Big Show and have everyone think Show is going to tap. He got himself intentionally disqualified in a subtle way and overall I like where this is going. Bryan going on the barricade is becoming staple, and with the thumbs down and boos it's going to get more and more annoying – and I love it! "YES! YES! YES!"
? Having Barrett give the announcement is as far fetched as it is effective to have him gain heat. I'd have Long deliver it with Wade interfering and saying whatever he wants to say, including Orton being finished – and THEN have Sheamus come out, etc.
? Santino as assistant could be a good position for him – good skits are bound to come out of this. Just please don't make Aksana "cobra" jokes a habit. The one tonight was predictable (I actually wrote the last sentence before the segment ended – I predicted it would go in that direction), though funny. Just don't make them a habit and next week Santino as assistant could become a posit.
? So Slater is now in the Hornswoggle fodder position like Chavo Guerrero and Jamie Noble? Doesn't WWE realize that whoever is in that position is going to be buried, have nothing left for them and subsequently released? Release Hornswoggle instead, I doubt he's much of a draw in comparison to the Superstars he makes obselete. I really hope this was 1 time and Slater is moving on to a renewed feud with Gabriel.
– Booker's pacing was a bit off in his match. Normally such a thing would not a neg make, but pacing is extremely important in the opener. It sets the pace for the show and fires up the crowd, and the few second duds Booker had were momentum killers at times. Also, is it just me or were there WAY too many irish whips in that match? They changed the finish to the match on the fly – I guess something went wrong with the original finish when Booker tried for an awkward scissors kick before Cody whispered in Booker's ear the new finish. My guess is Cody should've countered that 10th arm wrench into Cross Rhodes, but they mistimed it – that would explain the excess arm wrenches and Irish whips as part of the overall story. Either that or Booker's ring rust made those his go-tos. Ring rust can do that to you. It was a good match, don't get me wrong – but it could've been that much better.
– This Aksana thing isn't going anywhere. It is very much useless, and is time well wasted that could go to better things.
– HuniCamacho are killing me here with their gimmick. And a gimmick should do many things, but killing the viewer isn't one of them (although I see how WWE got confused with a person named Homicide using this gimmick)/ Not only is Camacho not really Mexican (he's Samoan – The son of Haku) and his fake accent is HORRIBLE and really comes off as racist when you know he isn't for realsies, but the whole idea of a held back minority stereotype is outright horrible in today's world. And the bike… Sorry, the LOWRIDER bike. It seems to be legit, unfortunately handing the whole fiasco (NOT a fiesta) a neg, especially with the ridiculous way Camacho rides it to the ring. The bad rep Americans get for being ignorant about how the rest of the world operates is only encouraged with gimmicks like these.
– Mahal getting pushed ahead of DiBiase is a bad idea in my eyes. He isn't nearly over or qualified enough as of right now to carry the position he was given in that segment. Also – Sheamus vs. Mahal means no Sheamus vs. Barrett, and that makes me a sad panda.
– "NO! NO NO NO!" was my reaction when I heard McIntyre's music was shortened. His whole poise was based on that awesome wait and slow walk to the ring. Even if they're turning him face (which according to Cole's announcing against him when he walked to the ring they are) this is not the way.
– Why are they pushing Tamina over Nattie (who got the jobber entrance) – and where in the world is the Divas champion?! We haven't seen her in weeks!

Looking for a strong female singer in the midst of auto-tune and pop music traps can be a difficult task. There are very few female singers that do not rely on computerization to enhance their voices and those who don't are few and far between. If you look in the right place, you can find genuine female singers and one of those is rising stars is Sarah Jaffe.
Raised in Texas, Sarah Jaffe self-released her EP Even Born Again in 2008 to rave reviews and a growing fan base. Quickly after, she was signed to Kirtland Records and released her debut full-length album Suburban Nature in May of 2010 to even more acclaim. Her brutal honesty about life and everything we have to deal with it makes her album almost impossible to turn off. You find yourself relating to her words and the way her voice delivers them to you will break your heart and lift you up at the same time.
With another album, The Way Sound Leaves a Room EP, to be released this year, Sarah Jaffe will be playing the Bluebird Theater on May 26 and May 27, 2011 with fellow Texas band the Old 97's. The May 26 show starts at 9:00 pm and the May 27 show starts at 10:00 pm. Both shows are 16+ and cost $24.
If Sarah Jaffe can sound breathtaking on her albums, you should probably go see what she can do live.
Visit the Bluebird Theater and Sarah Jaffe for more information.

A 1-year-old was taken to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock while his 6-year-old sister was taken into Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) custody Sunday.
Stuttgart Police Department Ptl. Jessica McSwain was dispatched to Baptist Health Medical Center-Stuttgart after nurses at the hospital contacted the SPD about alleged child abuse.
"The entire left side of his face was bruised…had bruises on his legs, his torso, his genitals and his lips and mouth were bleeding," McSwain wrote in her SPD incident report that was released Monday. "The nurses advised me that he was also dehydrated."
The Humphrey child was medflighted to Arkansas Children's Hospital due to alleged internal bleeding "in his head that had also caused his right pupil to blow."
The parents, a 24-year-old white male and 23-year-old white female, both of Humphrey, were both at the hospital. McSwain asked what happened to the child when the father stated, "he just fell off of the bed."
SPD Criminal Investigation Division Lt. Mark Duke contacted Phyllis Newton, with the Arkansas State Police, for further investigation.
The child's sibling was taken into DHS custody until further notice, according to the report.
Due to the age of the victim and the ongoing investigation, names are not being released. According to the SPD incident report, a possible charge could include second-degree battery of a person over 80 years old or 12 and younger, which is a felony charge.

Private Sellers
In today's real estate market, the inventory of available properties is soaring. Real estate brokerage signs dot the landscape like never before. Bank foreclosures are at an all time high and the news media is telling potential buyers that "deals" are everywhere.
What does this mean to you? Well, if you are either trying to sell, or thinking of selling your home, you need your home to catch the attention of the buyer pool. You need your home to rise above the clutter. You need enthusiastic buyers ready to take a close look at your property in order to fall in love with what it has to offer.
Our "Parallel" marketing plan, which combines the best of the traditional "listing" method of marketing with the sense of urgency developed by an accelerated or "pre-auction" marketing plan, can do just that. It is designed to create the necessary awareness of your property in the marketplace by creating a synergistic effect caused by the complimentary relationship of the two distinctly different marketing strategies.
The question you need to answer is: do you simply WANT to sell your home? Or, do you actually NEED to sell your home? Our "Parallel" marketing plan can actually help both groups.
Those that WANT to sell and have relatively strong equity position in the property may be an ideal candidate for an auction. An example would be:
- A Seller who has an offer accepted on their dream property with a "home sale contingency".
- A Seller who has an opportunity to invest the proceeds of investment property into another investment that produces a greater rate or return, or presents a lesser degree of risk.
In the above situations, the seller needs to look at the transaction of buying and selling as a whole, realizing the NET benefits derived from both sides collectively, rather than micro-analyzing each side of the transaction independently. In other words, taking a little less on the sale of a property is OK if the financial or other gains are proportionate on the purchase side of the next transaction.
Conversely, those that NEED to sell will also find the "auction" method of sales as a bona-fide alternative to what is currently available to them in the marketplace. Ideal candidates include those who are facing:
- Relocation
- Divorce
- An Estate settlement
- Financial hardship — job loss, health issues, etc.
- Pre-foreclosure action
If you are facing one of these challenges, please understand that we are sensitive to your situation. We also know that the sale of your home is one of the biggest keys to working your way out of the situation you may be in. We will focus on your individual situation and develop a strategy that will make the most of these difficult times.
For a free, confidential analysis of your property contact us at 1(888) 662-1020.
We will determine quickly whether we feel our real estate services could benefit you and your unique situation.

Saying No to the Colombia Free Trade Agreement
On July 11th, over 200 people converged in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House. All were there to raise their voices to President Obama to say "NO" to the proposed U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (CFTA). With all of the budget and debt negotiations on Capitol Hill, including a deadlock on approving the TAA, President Obama is yet to send the CFTA to Congress.
At the urging of our international church partners and with the underpinning of our Presbyterian Church (USA) polity, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship (PPF) has been helping lead the way for people of faith to not only speak out against the CFTA but also offering to them concrete ways to oppose it while remaining nonviolent and inviting others to the movement of solidarity:
- A national call-in day to the White House and President Obama to urge him not to send the flawed and dangerous CFTA to Congress. We also strategized using social media.
- A week long Ramadan-style fast of resistance to the CFTA in both the United States and in Colombia. Over 50 people participated in the fast in the United States, with over 100 in Colombia. During the week-long fast, PPF held nightly phone check-in calls where we shared stories, discussed how our day was going, built solidarity with each other, and prayed. Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb of the Shomer Shalom Network for Jewish Nonviolence offered to us a video presentation about fasting. Stories about the fast were featured in national church publications, and our spirit of nonviolence reached out into many congregations in the United States and in Colombia. Many fasters wore signs to explain why they were fasting, others invited their home congregations to pray for them at the beginning and end of the fast in Sunday worship, and still others held nightly meals in their homes as they broke the fast, inviting friends and family to join them as they told the story about the CFTA and Colombia. One faster organized nightly events in her home congregation throughout the week of fasting, building solidarity and teaching others about the human rights situation in Colombia. As one faster said at the end of the week, "I am no longer hungry for food, but hungry for justice."
- Offering through our anti-CFTA website numerous resources and links to information about the CFTA and other ways to take action, including partner links and resources.
As the CFTA resistance enters the legislative recess in August and then Congress's return to session in the fall, PPF is preparing to extend our actions to encourage engagement of Congressional representatives in their home districts. Stay tuned to PPF for more information, or sign onto our advocacy e-news to keep up-to-date. We'll be rolling out more information about direct ways to participate in the next few days.
July 2011 White House CFTA protestGetting back to Lafayette Park in DC … we knew we had to be a part of a large-scale public action, and take our voices directly to the White House. PPF helped to co-organize the rally along with a host of other groups. We heard from union leaders who have been threatened with death in Colombia, who continue to risk it all to speak out courageously for justice in their home country. We heard from environmental leaders, union leaders in the United States, and from Rick Ufford-Chase who led the PPF delegation. After the rally, four members of PPF: Rick Ufford-Chase, Rev. Sally Juarez, Katie Rains, and Kevin Moran were arrested in front of the White House.
These are some of the words of those who came to DC and offered us their voices of solidarity:
At the PC(USA) General Assembly in Richmond in 2004, I heard the head of the Presbyterian Church in Colombia speak — he talked of the courage and risks that the peace community in Colombia has. He talked of the actions our government makes that contribute to the risks. As a member of PPF, I'm aware of the accompaniment program and hear of the persecution of our brothers and sisters in Colombia that is made greater by the U.S. government's actions. In trying to live out the commandment to 'do unto others', I do my very little bit to stand in solidarity with the people in Colombia as I would want them to do for me (but my little bit doesn't go very far). Peace and blessings for your work in this area — Sandy Irving (Sandy and three others traveled by Greyhound bus to D.C. to be with us)
I heard John Dear speak at the Wild Goose Festival on the Nonviolent Jesus and I decided I want to live a more nonviolent lifestyle. I also heard several speakers (Jim Wallis, William Barber, and others) speak on the importance of being part of a movement. Movements are the force that change political reality and make the politically impossible possible. I also heard Jim Forbes preach on how budgets are moral documents and how God has an attitude regarding our budget. Well, along the same lines, I believe trade agreements are moral documents too and God has an attitude about our trade agreements. If I want to live a more nonviolent lifestyle and avoid death in all its forms, then I want to ensure my nation enters into moral trade agreements and I want to be part of the movement that is working to make that happen. By choosing not to participate in this action, I would be choosing to participate in a trade agreement that brings death to my brothers and sisters in Colombia. — Joette Steger
At the Presbyterian Peacemaking Fellowship Convocation in April, I was fortunate to meet with representatives of the Presbyterian Church of Colombia (IPC). Their faith stories of courageous commitment to millions of forcibly displaced, impoverished people who have endured generations of violet armed conflict opened my eyes to the meaning of the believer's calling. I realized I had much to learn from their faithful witness. I was inspired to join the PPF Accompaniment Program to spend a month with the Presbyterian faithful in Colombia later this year. In June I participated in a PPF inspired public fast in solidarity with the Presbyterian Church of Colombia to end the violation of Colombian human rights that are assured if the US/Colombia Free Trade Agreement becomes law. While working with the Presbyterian Washington Office and my Congressman Hank Johnson to urge President Obama not to submit the US/Colombia Free Trade Agreement to congress I felt called to direct action. After prayerful discernment and obtaining the loving support of my wife I have chosen to engage in a nonviolent direct action of civil disobedience in front of the White House. I have concluded this action is an appropriate response to remedy an unjust situation. — Kevin Moran (Kevin was one of the four PPF members arrested on July 11th in an act of civil disobedience against the CFTA.)
I am protesting, and prepared to engage in non-violent civil disobedience, because the Colombia Free Trade Agreement is wrong. We need fair trade, not "free" trade. Given the long history of exploitative trade relations with the South and Central America, we need to be extremely careful in our relations going forward. American jobs are not an excuse for selling cheap goods to Colombians. Rather we need to help Colombia develop their own industries and jobs, with fair labor and environmental practices. We need to help our brothers and sisters in Christ, with what they say they need, rather than what we think they need. — Jim Hayes
July 2011 DC CFTA signPPF also produced a video of Katie Rains who participated in the civil disobedience who tells of her journey (and hesitations) towards becoming a peacemaker and an activist, and her own life story of time in Peru and engagement with fair trade that led her to her prayerful action on July 11th at the White House on behalf of the people of Colombia. This video was produced to help tell the story of civil disobedience and nonviolence to those who want to understand more behind why a person of faith would participate in such an action.
For me personally, I have been moved to tears numerous times these last few months as I have thought about the terrible effects the CFTA would have on my beloved Colombia, or as I meditate on the things in Colombia I have already seen and heard during my travels or from my family. But even more than this, I have been moved to tears of joy these last few months as have watched others take bold and prophetic steps, living into their call as the nonviolent followers of Jesus Christ in solidarity with the people of Colombia. Being a part of movement building is not just an honor or a privilege, but it is a labor of love. It has become spiritual energy, borne out of love that comes from the relationships with our sisters and brothers in Colombia that PPF has continued to be so privileged to be a part of. Movement building offers us the opportunity to participate in life, rather than death.
On behalf of PPF: I invite all people of good will to join us in these critical last few weeks in this struggle for justice. Paz.
Rev. Shannan Vance-Ocampo serves at pastor of the Watchung Avenue Presbyterian Church in North Plainfield, New Jersey, and director of Colombia Programs for the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship where she has been helping lead the anti-CFTA effort along with a team from PPF, the Iglesia Presbiteriana de Colombia, and the PC(USA). Her husband, Juan Gabriel, is a native of Bogotá, Colombia, and together they are raising a budding eight-year old activist, Sofia Elena. Sofia accompanied her mom to the DC action, proudly wearing her PPF "Kid's Corps" t-shirt. Right now, Sofia is most concerned about the rainforests of Colombia and her family when she thinks about the CFTA.
PPF is leading a delegation to Colombia in 2012.

Vocals/Guitar: D'arey
Drums: Jared
Bass: Steve
D'arey October is a female-fronted power trio who writes songs flooded with teenage energy and emotion. The group formed three years ago and has been a highlight of the local music scene ever since. The three members of D'arey October began playing at a very young age, preforming in local clubs when the oldest was fifteen, the youngest only twelve. Now, three years later, the talents of the three high school students have swelled, and they have started quite a buzz in the Reading, Philadelphia, and Lancaster area. The music of the group varies as greatly as the member's personalities. Their first CD, Fighting the Moon, flows from soft acoustic ballads, to alternative pop, to angst driven punk. The band draws from many different influences, including the power rock of the eighties and many of the alternative bands of today. Lead singer and guitar player, D'arey October, brings deep, personal lyrics as well as melodic guitar lines, while the bass and drums provide the drive and energy which completes the group's sound. Their live preformances are full of energy and create an emotional connection with the crowd. As their first CD continues to sell, the band's popularity has grown tremendously. D'arey October is currently seeking major label support and strives to take the next step in the music industry. This group is definitely one to look out for in 2000 and beyond.

Learning styles explained simply to assist students in completing their learning plans
Filed Under Engaging Assignments and Activities for Students, Evaluation, Graphic Organizers, Learning Strategies, motivating students, Organization, positive climate, Special Education, Study Skills, The way I see it, underachieving students, Useful Handouts
When I have students complete the their learning plans to prepare for evaluations, I review learning styles because I want them to be efficient in preparing for their evaluations. Many students are visual learners so the following chart would be helpful in reminding students what strategies to use for each learning style. I encourage students to use all learning styles and to continue to develop their less preferred learning styles. I tell my students learning styles are pathways to the brain so the more pathways you use, the better the results.

This is great but I think you are probably developing additional learning modalities as it seems that learning styles themselves are myths

Thanks for sharing the link to the video that points out learning styles might be a myth. I encourage students to learn things by seeing, hearing and doing. My students will tell me they feel they learn better by seeing, hearing or doing things. Maybe there's a placebo effect. If I think I can learn by seeing, hearing or doing things then I can. I find it useful to incorporate seeing, hearing and doing into my lessons as appropriate. I'd love to see the data that lead to the conclusions in the video.

Latest child poverty figures reveal hot spots in Norfolk and Waveney
00:01 10 January 2012
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2011
Worst five areas in the region for child poverty by local authorities
Norwich – 30pc
Great Yarmouth – 25pc
Waveney – 22pc
King's Lynn and West Norfolk – 19pc
North Norfolk – 17pc
A new child poverty report exposing the UK's most stricken areas has revealed parts of Norfolk has almost half of its children living in financial hardship.
The latest report from The Campaign to End Child Poverty, out today, named Norwich as the local authority worst affected in the region, with more than a quarter (30pc) of children affected.
And one area in Norfolk - Nelson in Great Yarmouth - is just 1pc away of half of its children living in poverty (49pc).
Great Yarmouth MP Brandon Lewis, said more needs to be done to stop the numbers increasing.
He said: "I think [the figures] are a real testament to the legacy the last Government left us. They are also a really strong reminder of the work we have to do to improve these figures.
"In Great Yarmouth there is a wide range of figures in the different wards but we must make sure that these improve over the next few years.
"It will take time as industry standards will have to change. We need to get the work ethic rebuilt and improve people's work skills - we must make sure we keep our foot on the pedal."
Areas among the worst in the county for child poverty include Norwich's Wensum (40pc), Mile Cross (39pc), Mancroft (37pc), University (36pc), Bowthorpe (35pc), Lakenham (34pc) and Crome (32pc).
Other places affected include Yarmouth's Claydon (36pc), Southtown and Cobholm (33pc), Magdalen (33pc), Central and Northgate (32pc) and Yarmouth North (31pc), as well as Thetford-Abbey (31pc) and King's Lynn's North Lynn (41pc), South and West Lynn (33pc) and Fairstead (32pc).
Waveney's Normanston (36pc) and Habour (36pc) wards also showed up as prominent areas of child deprivation.
Alison Thomas, cabinet member for children's services at Norfolk County Council, said: "We know that living in poverty can hamper children and young people's chances to achieve their potential, which is why we are working closely with our partners across the public and voluntary sector to identify families in need as early as possible and provide them with support and advice.
"As part of this work we continue to investing heavily in children's centres to support parents at the earliest opportunity. The centres are focused on supporting the most vulnerable and that includes children who are living in poverty either financially, or through the opportunities available to them. Advice includes access to training, advice on parenting, employment and childcare.
"We have developed our own child poverty needs assessment and are focused on working alongside other agencies to tackle the range of social and economic issues that can affect children living in these circumstances.
"Schools also play an important part in raising the aspirations and achievements of pupils living in poverty and helping to break the cycle."
The report used tax credit data to examine the proportion of children living in low income homes, also taking into account recent unemployment to estimate changes in the number of children who are sinking into poverty because their parents have lost their jobs.
Children were classed as in poverty if their family's income fell below 60pc of the median average income.
At below 60pc of the average, families struggle to meet basic needs like food, heating, transport, clothing, school equipment and trips.
The report said: "The poverty line means that, after housing costs, all the household bills and family's spending needs will need to be met by around £12 or less per family member per day."

Prove that the class of all cycle-free graphs can not be defined by a finite set of formulas.
I don't understand what definiability means in this context. Does it just mean that I could represent all cycle-free graphs with finitely many formulas? In that case, I think since each formla can only represent graphs with finitely many vertices, there is a limit to how many graphs a finite number of formulas could define. Therefore a finite set of formula can not define the class of all cycle-free graphs. Is this on the right track? If so, how should I make this argument more rigorous?

Headache Hygiene - What is it?
Headache hygiene is the practice of taking care of yourself in a way that will reduce the likelihood, frequency, intensity, and severity of headaches. One surely wonders if this is possible? Indeed it is! Many lifestyle factors influence migraine and other headache conditions. Therefore, taking care of these lifestyle factors may help reduce the risk of severe attacks. These include two simple steps:
Lifestyle changes
Trigger avoidance
1. Lifestyle Changes
Migraine is not a predictable disorder for all people. Simple things like changes to a normal routine can lead to a severely disabling migraine attack. Understanding how lifestyle affects the severity and frequency of attacks can be a large part of successful migraine prevention.
It is an unrealistic to expect anyone to completely change a certain life style. However, certain things are relatively easy to do. For example:
Maintain regular sleep patterns. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day.
Exercise regularly. For example, aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes three times a week will help reduce frequency or severity of migraine.
Eat regular meals, do not skip meals, and eat a good, healthy breakfast.
Reduce stress. Limit stress by avoiding conflicts and resolving disputes calmly. Some people find it helpful to take a daily "stress break."
Avoiding known triggers (see table on Common Triggers)
Establishing daily routines that help reduce migraine attacks is important for long-term migraine prevention. For example:
Schedule a relaxation period that includes relaxation strategies such as:
Take slow, deep breaths
Focus the mind on a relaxing image or scene
Try soft relaxing lighting and sounds
Exercise on a regular basis, even if your daily routine changes (such as when traveling, when you have house guests, or when your workload increases).
Maintain the medication treatment plan designed by you and your physician. Early intervention may help prevent the migraine from progressing into a severe, disabling attack.
2. Trigger avoidance
Triggers are specific factors that may increase your risk of having a migraine attack. The migraine sufferer has inherited a sensitive nervous system that under certain circumstances, can lead to migraine. Triggers do not "cause" migraine. Instead, they are thought to activate processes that cause migraine in people who are prone to the condition. A certain trigger will not induce a migraine in every person; and, in a single migraine sufferer, a trigger may not cause a migraine every time. By keeping a headache diary, you will be able to identify some triggers for your particular headaches. Once you have identified triggers, it will be easier for you to avoid them and reduce your chances of having a migraine attack.
Common Triggers
Skipping meals/fasting
Food Items
Aged cheese
Alcohol/red wine
Chemicals [eg. MSG (monosodium glutamate)]
Caffeine withdrawal
Processed meats (containing nitrates)
Change in sleep patterns
Too little sleep
Weather changes
Extreme heat or cold
Bright lights
Sun without eye shades
Smog, perfumes, chemicals
Flashing lights or screens
Estrogen level changes (rapid fluctuations in estrogen levels)
Hormone replacement therapies
Birth control pills
Unrealistic timeliness
Financial issues
Job changes / moving
Childbirth / marriage
Stress Letdown
Discontinuation of work
Weekends / vacations
Ending a project or stressful task (such as a presentation)
Head trauma
Exercising when out of shape or in heat
