Starting Pitcher: Marquis 6IP 3H 2R 1ER 2BB 4K
Pitching Dud: Villone (L, 2-4) 1IP 2H 1ER 1K
Hitting Star#1: Whiting 2-4, 2R, 1-2B
Hitting Star#2: Orr 2-4, 1R, 1-2B
Notes: Syracuse began the scoring in the bottom of the 1st with two runs, Scranton came back in the 2nd and 3rd with a run in each inning to tie it back up. Syracuse regained the lead in the bottom of the 3rd and increased it to 4-2 after the 4 innings of play. But Scranton wouldn't give up and once the 7th came around they tied this game back up at 4-4. But they weren't done there as Scranton scored one run in the 8th to take the lead. Syracuse tied it back up in the bottom of the inning, unfortunately Scranton had the last laugh as they were able to sneak one more run in the 9th inning to win this one 6-5. Rehabbing Jason Marquis went six innings giving up three hits, two runs and two walks but got the no-decision.
Harrisburg Senators — OFF DAY
Notes: The Senators are riding a four-game win streak and are now just 3&frac; games out of second place. They head north to Funkytown Binghamton for three games before hosting first-place Altoona this weekend.
Potomac Nationals W, 6-4 (11 inn.) @ Lynchburg
Starting Pitcher: Holder 2⅓ IP 6H 4R 4ER 2BB 0K
Pitching Star: McCoy (W, 2-1) 3IP 1H 0R 0BB 6K
Hitting Star #1: Rhinehart 3-5, 2R, 2-2B,
Hitting Star #2: Lombardozzi 3-6, 2R, 3RBI
Notes: A wild pitch plated Bill Rhinehart as the go-ahead run and sac fly off the bat of Steve Lombardozzi gave the P-Nats some insurance in the top of the 11th as they defeated the Lynchburg Hillcats 6-4. Starter Trevor Holder lasted just 2⅓ innings, but the Potomac bullpen was outstanding as Carlos Martinez (3⅔ innings), newly acquired Joe Testa (2 innings) and Pat McCoy (3 innings) combined to shut down the Hillcats, allowing three hits combined and striking out 11 the rest of the way.
Hagerstown Suns L, 9-4 vs. Lexington
Starting Pitcher: Demny (L, 6-4) 5⅓ IP 7H 5R 5ER 2BB 2K
Pitching Star: Garcia 2IP 2H 0R 1K
Hitting Star#1: Ramirez 1-3, R, HR, BB, 3RBI
Hitting Star#2: Jones 1-2, R, BB
Notes: Lexington scored two runs in the 2nd to start things off and scored one more run in the top of the 3rd. The Suns answered with two runs in bottom of the 3rd to keep things close at 3-2. Lexington started to pull away in the 6th scoring four runs making it 7-2. Hagerstown could only managed to get single runs in each of the 7th and 8th innings, but it wasn't enough as Lexington scored two more in the 9th to win this one going away, 9-4. Starter Paul Demny went 5⅓ innings giving up seven hits, five runs and two walks with the loss.
Vermont Lake Monsters L, 10-1 @ Tri-City
Starting Pitcher: Jordan (L, 1-2) 3IP 7H 7R 7ER 2BB 2K
Pitching Star: Cahill 1⅓ IP 2H 0R 0BB 5K
Hitting Star#1: Moore 2-3, BB
Hitting Star#2: Labrie 2-4, 1RBI
Notes: Vermont didn't have much of a say in this game as their bats were pretty quiet today (six hits total). Tri-City Started their onslaught in the bottom of the 3rd with seven runs and added an additional run in the 4th, making it 8-0 early. In the 7th Tri-City added two more runs to make the score 10-0. On a positive note, the Lake Monsters prevented a shut-out as they were able to obtain one run in the top of the 9th to make this a final of 10-1 for Tri-City. Starter Taylor Jordan was hit hard for his fourth straight start. He went three innings giving up seven hits, seven runs, and three walks while striking out two.
GCL Nationals L, 5-2 vs. GCL Astros
Starting Pitcher: Pedro Encarnacion (L, 2-2) 2⅔ IP 5H 4R 4ER 3BB 1K
Pitching Star: Mitchell Clegg 3IP 2H 0R 2BB 1K
Hitting Star: Randolph Oduber 2-3, BB
Notes: Make that seven of eight, as the GCL Nationals fell again, 5-2, to the GCL Astros. Pedro Encarnacion was lit up for four runs on five hits and three walks over 2⅔ innings. Both Nationals runs were aided by Astros errors, as the offense was held to just three hits. Rehabbing Mitchell Clegg was the pitching star, tossing two-hit ball over three innings with two walks and one strikeout.
DSL Nationals L, 11-4 vs. DSL Mets1
Starting Pitcher: Wirkin Estevez 4IP 8H 5R 4ER 2BB 2K 1HR
Pitching Star: Andy Santana 3IP 0H 0R 2BB 4K
Hitting Star #1: Narciso Mesa 2-4, R, SB
Hitting Star #2: Nelalexfred 2-4, R, RBI
Notes: Not even staff ace Wirkin Estevez could stop the bleeding, as the DSL Nationals dropped their 8th straight game, 11-4 to the DSL Mets1 squad. Four double plays on offense and four errors on defense were also to blame for the futility. Estevez allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over his four innings of work.

Sue, I love me some wins and losses as much as the next guy, but Syracuse is pretty much the Wilson Ramos watch for many Nats fans at this point. Possible to include his line going forward in Syracuse updates? FWIW, 2-4, 1R, 1RBI, 0K, 0BB 1SB against, 1CS for. 2 of his first 3 games have been real encouraging. Get those walks up young man and depose Tony Vega and the band!
Why thank you, it's great to be back 🙂
Nice to see souldrummer so enthused, and unless SYR makes the playoffs I think we'll see Mr. Ramos on a 9/7/10 callup list to the Nationals.
On local news, hoping to catch a couple of P-Nat games on the next homestand; Maybe the Thurs-Fri against LYN & MB.
Next time I'll make sure to check the authors on the articles and not just assume that this is Sue's world and I only live in it.
Haha no worries, Sue is always helping out. Sue responds much faster than I do too 🙂

Most elements emit x-rays when properly bombarded with electrons. Heavier
elements (like tungsten) are best because they emit a higher intensity through
bremsstrahlung, but there are plenty of heavy elements to choose from. The
real issue is engineering: Most electrons that hit the tungsten don't do
anything special at all -- no bremsstrahlung, no K-shell emission. All of the
energy from the electrons' impact then goes into heating the tungsten.
Tungsten is used because it can withstand this bombardment, as it has a high
melting point and can conduct heat away very well.
What would happen if you replaced the tungsten with something else?
The bremsstrahlung pattern looks very similar no matter what element you use.
The K-shell emission spectrum is unique and different for each element.
In bremsstrahlung, why is a range of photons emitted instead of just one
The incoming electron is accelerated and strikes the tungsten at a high speed
and has a lot of energy. Recall that we called it "braking radiation." The
electron might be slowed a little or a lot.
Yes, but there is more. If we represent all of the energy of the electron as a
pie, there are bazillions of different ways of cutting up this pie.
No, there is only one cut-off that corresponds to a minimum wavelength. There
is no limit to a maximum wavelength emitted. Go back to the bremsstrahlung
spectrum and see how it fades gradually to zero for long wavelengths.

Kelly's LUX* Resorts project in Harper's Bazaar!
What a Weekend!
I have been in Mauritius since last week in preparation for a special event to announce the concept for the new project I am working on LUX* Island Resorts. While I've been traveling a lot for my projects and am set to head to China next week the balance between business and pleasure is certainly different on LUX* Resorts…an not just because I'm in Mauritius!
The reason this has been such a passion project for me is that it is so different to anything I've done and anything I have seen in the world of luxury holidays. When CEO Paul Jones, who was instrumental in launching the One&Only brand, and his management team approached me I new instantly that this would be a resort with a real difference. I have been working on this project for a while now but I have been keeping it quite close to my chest because it is so revolutionary.
I think a lot of us have pre-conceived notions about what makes a 'luxury resort' like must-have labels, fussy cuisine and unfortunately stuffy décor. I don't know about you but my idea of luxury does not include any of those things!
You may have seen the images we shared last week or the videos on YouTube which I feel really speak to just how different this brand really is. We talk about 'Island Light' and 'scenes' in the videos and they are central to what makes this project so very different.
LUX* is all about unpretentiously celebrating island life and offering luxury with a light touch but that doesn't scrimp on service. We want to break out of the ordinary and help you get back to really living and celebrating life's moments. That's what the 'scenes' are about…they help spark unexpected moments. From freshly-roasted organic coffee, retro-styled ice-cream parlours, libraries of cool magazines, on-the-beach film screenings, inter-guest games, integrated wellness & spa programmes, art shows, pop-up dining, secret honesty bars, and world-beating sun beds no details is too small or too big to helping create unique moments and special memories. And with a staff of over 3,000 across 5 resorts dedicated to looking at the details you can be certain that these experiences will be nothing short of top notch.
Clear rather than cluttered, free rather than formal, spontaneous rather than predictable, LUX* Island Resorts are simpler and fresher, lightening, brightening and heightening the island resort concept. I'm thrilled to be working with Paul to help rethink what luxury really means.
This weekend marked the simultaneously opening of resorts in Mauritius, Ile de la Reunion and the Maldives. Work will continue into 2012 but I'm thrilled that the project is well underway and we can now share the unique concept of LUX* with everyone.
Stay tuned to my Facebook for a special clip from the party which I'll be sharing this week.
Kelly x
P.S> you might think 'LUX*' is short for luxury but actually it's taken from Latin word for light…bit of an 'unexpected' surprise there right? 😉

One could get whiplash trying to keep up with all of the rumors swirling around me Ciara future break up one thing however it is well known is that the cause of the break up of infidelity on Future's part. First it was reported that Future was cheating with a number of groupies on the road as well as ones on Instagram. This was confirmed when he actually was caught trying to give his number to one said groupie on Instagram and rather than posting it to her privately he actually ended up posting it to his entire fan base following him on Instagram. This is was quickly followed by a rumor that he had actually engaged in sexual liaison with one of his three other baby mamas. However the most damning rumors are those stating that Future was actually cheating with both Keyshia Cole and and well known as long time emesis Rihanna. The infidelity with Rihanna was said to have happened while the two collaborated on their song A"Love Song" as well as most recently when they have been working on her forthcoming album. No one from either side has substantiated any of these rumors the only thing that is true that we known is that they are ending their relationship and the beginning of a custody battle over their 3 month old son. Ciara is seeking full custody of the child. Let's hope that they can reach an amicable agreement for the child's sake.

Le Clos flies through Olympic qualifiers
Swimming sensation Chad le Clos is headed to the London Olympics after swimming qualifying times for four butterfly medal events in Durban.
Rising star Chad le Clos swam four Olympic qualifying times at this week's South African championships to announce himself as a real medal contender for the pool at the London Games in July this year.
The 20-year-old Le Clos, the short course world champion in the 200m butterfly, achieved Olympic times in the 200m fly, 200m and 400m individual medley and 200m freestyle. His only disappointment was on Sunday's final day of the nationals when he missed the Olympic time in the 100m butterfly.
World record holder Cameron van der Burgh qualified in the 100m breaststroke as nine South Africans hit Olympic times at the week-long nationals at the east coast city of Durban.
Multiple Olympic medallist Roland Schoeman went inside the qualifying time in the 50m freestyle.—Sapa-AP.

Alumni Success Story
SIS Alumna Becomes a Party Animal
MA, International Peace and Conflict Resolution, 2005
Sarah Ahmed serves as a Senior Program Assistant for Iraq Programs at the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), based in Washington, DC. She focuses primarily on NDI-Iraq's "Political Party" and "Women's Political Participation" programs. Ahmed has also assisted with the Gulf program's "Women's Political Participation in Kuwait" mission. She has traveled to Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, and Kuwait on NDI business.
Of her choice to attend American University's School of International Service (SIS), Ahmed says, "SIS was my first choice because the program focused more on practical learning via simulations and the integration of real-life situations for analysis, rather than a typically academic or theoretical approach. Many of the professors at SIS also have quite a bit of field experience, and that was important to me as field work is a major facet of my career path."
Ahmed 's advice to current and prospective students? "Take the time to actively get to know and engage with fellow students and professors alike. Students at SIS have amazing backgrounds and offer wonderful experiences to learn from. You'll find yourself making lifelong friends. Also, take advantage of the various events, workshops and institutes/centers at SIS. They are a great place to meet colleagues and receive first-hand information about many of the world's current affairs."

The Lake Tahoe Basin is a wonderland of experiences. It is always in motion, always looking to be the best. Summer is filled with a lake full of activities.
Connie Anderson, of the Abbi Agency, sent out a press release that puts the spotlight on Stand Up Paddle Boarding, SUP for short.
SUP is one of the fastest growing water sports across the United States. Not surprisingly, SUP has a history at Lake Tahoe. Along with kayaks, canoes, all kinds of powered motor boats, sail boats and a few stern wheelers, SUP was simply a natural on the beautiful blue waters of Tahoe.
According to Anderson, Hawaii and Lake Tahoe are where the sport originated. Come August and September, Tahoe will host two SUP events.
August 15th through the 17th will see Ta-Hoe Nalu, which, said Anderson, is the "...longest running and largest SUP and Paddleboard race event in the United States." It's billed as family friendly and will encompass distance events and beginner races. A live concert, sand castle contests, and prizes, including cash, of more than $10,000 will be won. Kings Beach is the location for this event.
There will be workshops and a full dining and beverage court for those who attend. In keeping with the Hawaii connection, the opening of the races will feature the Polynesian music and dance of Halau Hula 'O Leilani, at 7:30 a.m. Registration follows at 2:00 p.m.
The racing events launch at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, with a five mile race hitting the water at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. The event will close at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.
The Tahoe Fall Classic will take to the water on September 13th and 14th. This is the third and final race in The Tahoe Cup race series. It is presented by O'Neill and the Lake Tahoe Paddleboard Association is the host.
The race is a prone paddleboard race, point to point, and 22 miles in the lake. Starting at El Dorado Beach in South Lake Tahoe, paddlers will make their way to Kings Beach State Beach.
Here is what Anderson said about this race: "It is the longest inland distance paddleboard race in the world and is expected to draw hundreds of competitors from near and far. SUP demos are provided throughout the weekend compliments of SURFTECH and lunch is provided by Men Wielding Fire."
Register now at www.tahoecup.org. The first paddler to hit the beach at the end of the 22 miles earns $300. There are other awards for the different divisions of the race, including the $20,000 cash purse for whoever takes the Elite Series race. Not bad for a day on the water.
Not content with water events, there will be a first ever North Lake Tahoe Ukulele Festival, at the North Tahoe Event Center at Kings Beach. Take a workshop, or an into to the ukulele during the festival.
"Enjoy the sounds of jazz and blues artist Michael Powers, who has shared the stage with Ray Charles, Diane Schuur, Herbie Hancock and Gladys Knight, among others, along with Steven Espaniola, the 2006 Hawaiian Music Awards New Artist of the Year. In addition, Sunday evening invites fans to enjoy a Uke-Party-On-The-Sand as the top paddlers cross the finish line in the Tahoe Fall Classic. Tickets are on sale now and are available for concerts only, workshops only, or the entire weekend.", according to Anderson.
Book a room and spend the weekend to catch all the action at either event. It's looking like a full, fun, autumn at the Lake.

Historical sword information and identification research:
Unfortunately, we are not in position to provide identification research.
Even if your sword has the WKC mark on the blade, we are unable to assist with identification and historical research. WKC has been in business since 1883, but, due to the intensive Allied bombing of Solingen during WWII and the looting that occurred in the late stages of the war and soon thereafter, there are no WKC records prior to WWII.
However, you will find below some advice to begin your research.
Most research into the history of a sword begins with trying to identify the sword maker. You may first consider that not all swords handcrafted in
All WKC swords are produce with the following mark on the blade.
If you want to learn more about your antique sword, this is what we recommend:
You'll likely find other swords that are similar to yours listed on a variety of web sites and might be able to discern some of your sword's history and value by such searching.

House on the Moor #1
by Gay Pogue
Fiber with beads, paper, acrylic paint
20 x 18.5 inches
In an unfortunate sentimental moment, the Angel Snake Jason had promised his dying grandmother to visit his cousins at least twice a year and take them a gift. The cousins were a morose, stingy lot who lived in some ancient warrens east of his snug cottage on the moor. This time, he proudly bore a single earring he found a fortnight ago near the lane. He was sure they had nothing so fine in all their tunnels.
When Jason arrived at their dwelling, his smile and gift were met with stony stares. They just turned and entered their dark maze. He followed and remained in their public room the requisite hours. Lunch was but a few blades of withered grass and several drops of brackish water. Long pauses punctuated the dull attempts at conversation. Perhaps he should have brought food or wine instead.
As they emerged from the gloom for the customary postprandial bask on the rock above their home, they saw dark clouds to the west. Jason snatched the opportunity to bid a hasty farewell. As he flew, the whole sky turned dark purple and furiously pelted him with rain, sleet, hail, and lightening. Fearing for his life, he pushed himself to the very limits of his physical abilities.
The aroma of his favorite stew steaming on the fire met him as he finally scooted under the eves of his cottage. All was well.

Commercial tree production
Tree production for commercial purposes in the UK is largely focused in large scale forestry operations involving softwoods such as spruce and pine. Major forests in upland areas of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are managed by the Forestry Commission and commercial woodland management companies on behalf of landowners and investors.
Silviculture techniques, enhanced with satellite imagery, are used to optimise the timber yield of forests and plantations and the trees are harvested using specialised equipment such as mechanical cutters, winches and chippers.
Other commercial tree production includes:
- Deciduous trees such as oak and beech for furniture manufacture and for specialist building requirements;
- The propogation of nursery trees for large scale planting and to supply the domestic user market, including the sale of Christmas trees;
The Openfields library holds materials related to tree propagation and forest management for productivity.

College Hockey:Migliore Ends Marathon For Rensselaer
Engineers Slip Past Quinnipiac In Double OT
TROY, N.Y. — The second game of the 51st Rensselaer/HSBC Holiday Hockey Tournament turned into the 12th-longest in NCAA history before Rensselaer's Chris Migliore beat his hometown team with a goal at 10:20 of the second overtime.
Migliore, a native of Hamden, Conn., went high on a stickless Justin Eddy to give Rensselaer a 5-4 victory over Quinnipiac.
"I was going across and I thought the puck was going to come to me and I was going to give it back to Shields because we work on that in practice," said Migliore. "But I didn't even know he didn't have a stick — I perhaps should have shot it low then. I guess I hit the crossbar and it went down; we've been hitting pipes all night.
"He's a butterfly goalie and as I came across he went down and I got a lucky break off a pipe. It's a great thing to beat my hometown team. I get to razz them a little when I go home."
"Chris Migliore's individual effort was unbelievable, and it was only fitting that he beats a team from his own hometown," said Engineer head coach Dan Fridgen.
Migliore replaced John Carter in scoring the goal to end the longest Engineer game ever.
The Engineers did have to come back from a deficit to tie matters after opening up a 2-0 lead in the first 5:15 of the game. C.J. Hanafin scored his first collegiate goal before Andrew McPherson tipped a Scott Basiuk shot past Eddy on the power play to give the Engineers a 2-0 lead.
But Quinnipiac rallied to tie it up, starting with one in the first on a Ryan Olson power-play goal as he tipped a point shot between Nathan Marsters' legs. In the second, Ryan Morton stole a puck from behind Marsters and tucked it past him shorthanded to tie the game.
The Engineers retook the lead when Jim Vickers floated a power-play shot past Eddy, but Quinnipiac claimed the advantage with the next two goals when Olson and Morton each connected for the second time on the evening.
The game was again tied after Carson Butterwick scored the Engineers' third power-play goal of the evening late in the second period.
"With the exception of the second period, we played a pretty solid game," said Fridgen. "We did a good job of rallying and taking it into overtime, and we started to dictate and initiate from that point on."
"I'm not happy with the outcome, but I am happy with the way we played," said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold. "We pushed RPI to the limit. The emotions in the third period and the overtime was extremely high, and I was trying to keep the guys contained. We were trying to bear down on every little play."
Quinnipiac (7-7-1) will take on Niagara in the consolation game Saturday afternoon.
"Our character's going to be tested tomorrow," said Pecknold. "Niagara is rested and our kids are spent. We have some kids cramping up and we're in trouble right now. I think in the long run though, this will help our building process and our team will get better."
The Engineers (6-5-1), who played the longest game in their history, will play the Minutemen of UMass-Amherst in the championship game.
"I thought we had some real good individual efforts there," said Fridgen. "As we shortened the bench there and worked more guys through the lineup we had some energy — I started it midway through the third period and continued to do it. It was nice to see Hanafin get his first goal. We would have liked to have ended the game earlier, but I am sure that UMass doesn't mind."

RIM's earnings beat expectations despite $235m loss
Shares in the Blackberry maker leap 18 percent
BLACKBERRY MAKER Research in Motion (RIM) has impressed investors with its fiscal second quarter earnings, despite posting a £235m loss.
Announced on Thursday, RIM's quarterly earnings saw the firm's shares leap by 18 percent, even though the company posted its lowest smartphone shipments since 2008. It announced that it shifted 7.4 million smartphones during the quarter as well as 130,000 Playbook tablets, probably thanks to retailers' discounts.
While these were RIM's lowest sales figures for a while, they were above what analysts had been expecting.
RIM reported a net loss of $235m (around £145m), compared with a profit of $329m for the same quarter last year. However, RIM increased its cash reserve to around £2.3bn, up from $2.2bn in the first quarter.
Thorsten Heins, president and CEO of RIM, understandably seemed pleased by the results. "Despite the significant changes we are implementing across the organization, our second quarter results demonstrate that RIM is progressing on its financial and operational commitments during this major transition," said Heins.
"Subscribers grew to approximately 80 million global users, revenue grew sequentially from the first quarter, cash, cash equivalents, short-term and longterm investments increased by approximately $100 million to $2.3 billion, and carriers and developers are responding well to previews of our upcoming Blackberry 10 platform.
"Make no mistake about it, we understand that we have much more work to do, but we are making the organizational changes to drive improvements across the company, our employees are committed and motivated, and BlackBerry 10 is on track to launch in the first calendar quarter of 2013."
Heins also revealed that the company will be bringing mid-range and top-end Blackberry 10 devices to market by next Autumn, with low-end devices coming later in the year. µ

UK: LG Optimus 4X HD now just £299.99
Little more than one month has passed since the LG Optimus 4X HD first became available in the UK in SIM-free and unlocked form, after a few delays here and there. Yet now it's already cheaper than it's ever been.
In fact, you can get an Optimus 4X HD from Expansys right now for just £299.99, with free shipping even. That's exactly £100 cheaper than what the same retailer was asking for the same device just 30 days ago. Furthermore, it's almost £150 less than what other outlets have priced it at.
So a good deal, undoubtedly. The great pricing only applies to the black model, though, and you'll get an EU plug with an included UK adapter. Those are all the caveats, by the way.
The LG Optimus 4X HD has a 4.7-inch 720p HD touchscreen, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 1.3 MP front-facing camera, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of built-in storage, microSD slot, all the usual connectivity options, and a 2,150 mAh battery. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Are there perceptions of yourself that you recall "learning" from your parents? Hopefully they are all positive and re-affirming. Of course that's not always the case. A large part of it stems from the words parents use to convey ordinary frustrations or reprimands.
Here are just some of the many ideas you can use to control dialogue with kids and stay away from cementing their feet into a role they might think they will play forever. Remember, no advice column can substitute for significant guidance. County Health Programs of Illinois are an excellent resource providing referrals, counseling, accepting benefits or accepting payment on sliding scales.
Never say "Never" or "Always", as in: "You're always the last person ready". Or "You never pick up your towels". If you say it, it will become fact. Kids will think of themselves as "a person who is incapable of ______", instead of as a learning, growing work in progress. Try FAKE MAD.
- -Say "Oh, have you got another good one?" (story, anecdote, deep thought) – Listen without interrupting, except for laughs, or "You're kidding!" etc.. - Kids who begin to assume they have something to contribute have self-respect. Active Listening.
- - Say "Don't do that. Do this. That wasn't safe" ( or too loud, unacceptable etc..) – always insert an alternative behavior and very short phrase (stick with the same words) why they can't.
- -Use the I-message to leave their developing skills out of it. It's about what you're about to teach them (sigh, again), not about what they fail to perfect.
- -Don't relate too many of your own recollections, or older siblings experiences unless they validate in a normalizing way.
- -Don't say "NO!", especially with the little ones. Bet you can already guess why! You'll be eating full meals of "NO" right back at you! Swap that one out with "Don't do that…".
- -Don't use more than those three very short phrases to discipline. Again, you're inviting a dialogue when it's not welcome or productive. And any more than that and things get vague and potentially frustrating.
YOU write, direct and star in your own production. Take ideas and use what works best for you with them. Again, YOUR goals are on the mark. Stick to your script in conflict and at the very least you'll bore them to the point they'll rue repeat offending!

A recently rescued dog, who ran away during a transport, is still on the run in the Chicago, Ill., area after slipping from her harness at the MidWay Airport on Friday.
The dog, a Doberman mix named "Madison," bolted during a potty break at the airport; she was in the midst of a transport between Texas and her destination in Elkhorn, Wis.
The Illinois Doberman Rescue is heading up the local search effort - keeping searchers apprised of developments on their Facebook page and posting fliers in the area.
On Monday, the rescue agency shared the following update:
No word overnight. Volunteers went to the neighborhoods and industrial areas around MDW to post more fliers and talk to people. The large train/truck yard near where she was last seen was covered, and everyone working there was alerted over the radios to keep an eye out. We checked all of the pavilions at Chicago Animal Control just in case. Still no sightings. People are offering to get a trap or a tracker, but we can't use those until we have another sighting.
Anyone who sees Madison is advised not to chase her as she is frightened and will run. Instead, please call and report any potential sightings to 847-277-1082.
Updates about the search effort here.

College Hockey:Morris Files Suit Against Clarkson
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Former Clarkson head coach Mark Morris filed two lawsuits on Friday against Clarkson University over his firing earlier this season.
Morris was fired in November for incidents that took place during a morning practice involving Golden Knights forward Zach Schwan. Morris was accused of getting into a physical confrontation Schwan. The school fired Morris after a 10-day investigation.
Morris is now fighting back by filing one lawsuit seeking in excess of $10 million in damages based on lost future earnings. He is also asking to be reinstated as head coach at Clarkson, and that the current job search for a head coach cease and desist immediately.
He also filed another lawsuit for $1 million in damages for breach of contract.
The Watertown Daily Times reports that Mr. John A. Piasecki filed the lawsuits on Morris' behalf, and that Morris maintains he didn't do anything to warrant his firing and that Clarkson took advantage of the confrontation with Schwan to fire him.
"We think the decision was made somewhere along the line and that the incident served as a quicksilver event that allowed the university to put its plan into action," said Piasecki.
The school had a cautious reaction.
"The university has not been served the paper yet, so we have not had an opportunity to review the allegations made in the lawsuit," said Anne Sibler, public relations director for Clarkson. "Generally, we don't comment on university matters that are in litigation. It should be settled in court."
According to the complaint, Morris met with athletic director Sean Frazier on Nov. 4 and gave his account of the confrontation. He then met the next day with school vice president Gary Kelly. At the conclusion of meeting with Kelly, Morris was told that the university would not support him, that he was to be suspended on the spot and that "the end result would be his termination."
The other complaint, for future compensation damages, was filed asking for Morris' reinstatement and the suspension of the current head coaching job search.
"The search process, in and of itself, has and is causing irreparable harm to Mr. Morris," said the complaint.
Morris, when reached by the Daily Times, would not offer a comment.
"I am going to refrain from commenting, but hopefully things will work out," said Morris.

Soothing and Tranquil Garden Ponds
While water covers approximately 75 percent of the Earth's surface, it seems we humans just can't get enough. Many people find the sight and sound of water to have a very soothing effect and fountains and ponds have become popular choices for garden features.
Favorite Features
The first thing you need to do before adding a water feature to your garden is decide what type of feature you desire. Your pond could be for fish, plants - or both - or neither, but determining what it is you want in your pond will govern the size and possibly the location of your pond.
Location, Location, Location
Ponds that will contain plants should be located in partial to full sunlight, while fish-only ponds or ponds with just a fountain or other inanimate objects can be either sunny or shady. Either way, be sure to locate your pond close enough to your home that you can enjoy it year round, but far enough from runoff, trees, and other falling debris in order to keep harmful chemicals and debris from damaging the pond's lining and life forms.
How Deep Is Your Pond?
One common mistake people make when adding a pond to their garden is in making it too small. The size of the pond should be large enough for the features you'll be adding to it. Koi fish can become quite large despite the size of the pond they live in. Likewise the plants you put into your pond will grow larger. Ironically, the larger and deeper the pond, the easier it is to maintain. Any pond containing fish should be at least two feet deep, but ponds in regions with harsh winters should be deeper to keep from completely freezing over, which will devastate your fish and plants.
A good rule of thumb to remember is that ponds typically turn out to be about 30 percent smaller than you visualized, so go ahead and make it a bit bigger than you want it.
While the shape of your pond can be anything you dare to imagine, the inner structure is important. The inside of a properly dug pond will resemble a stadium with circular tiered seating. The center of the pond will be the depth you desire, the next tier should slant outward slightly and the top tier should form a shelf about a foot down from the ground's surface and at least a foot wide.
Ask a Professional
Professional help is your best move for properly digging and finishing your pond. The experts will make sure that your garden pond is just right for what you plan to make at home there, but planning its location and shape may be something you want to do yourself.
Once the pond has been dug and skimmers, filters, liners, and pumps have been installed, ask your professional about any chemicals or bacteria that you may need to introduce to your pond in order to keep the water levels appropriate for your plants, fish, or fountain.
Water plants should be installed immediately, but fish should be introduced a few at a time every couple of weeks while the healthy bacteria builds up.
One plant you'll definitely want in your pond is the Anacharis, which uses up the nutrients that would generally go to algae. So, essentially the presence of the Anacharis will keep your algae problem to a minimum.
With the installation of your garden pond, hopefully the serenity that you've added to your yard will help to keep all of your problems to a minimum.

Google's plans to map the human body maybe an audacious move or a naïve undertaking but nevertheless, reports NBC News yesterday, that is exactly what Google is planning to do with the human body in search of good health planning.
Mapping the streets, the underwater ways of the oceans and providing Google Glass and Google autonomous cars, it can be noted that Google leads into unmapped territories. Google wants to establish biomarkers for human health through mapping the body. Each body is different and requires a different view from health and medical matters.
The logic behind its goal of setting biomarkers is to predict disease before it strikes. Google's press release has taken on a formidable task of defining what it is to be healthy at molecular and cellular level so a baseline is established at every age. Its press release terms it, "what it means to be healthy."
Kedar Mate, M.D., the vice president of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, a Massachusetts-based not-for-profit, told NBC News that genes are about 15 to 40 percent a factor. Behavioral patterns comprise 30-40 percent and socioeconomic factors account for 20-30 percent. According to Mate that despite using a "wonderful genetic model" it is not the total picture for health.
Mapping human body and relating the data of health information contains many variables and some human decision making to sift through the data. Since a baseline has never been done before it leads to some reserve on the part of medical and scientific genomics' experts despite the magnitude of Google's computational computer ability.
The team of one hundred at Google in the Baseline Project is led by molecular biologist, Andrew Conrad. The wide range covered by the team includes biochemistry, physiology, imaging technology, anatomy and molecular biology. No small injection of knowledge to put together the baseline of human health.
Insurance companies cannot buy into Google's information from the project but Stanford and Duke will eventually be the recipients of the information and models. The discrimination to make determinations as to why a person is healthy will be a hurdle for the team to develop within the models. Personal care for dental hygiene may be a factor in healthy teeth and not the genetics involved in the baseline.

It's been several years since Brett Dennen played in Atlanta but on Friday night at a full Variety Playhouse he made up for his prolonged absence by performing material from his entire catalog for an hour and a half of material to a genuinely appreciative crowd.
The latest tour supports "Smoke and Mirrors", Dennen's most recent release that he believes recaptures and re-emphasizes some of his earliest musical influences. While he played a considerable amount from his latest release there was a perfect blend of older, better-known music mixed in. What was equally refreshing was the reliance upon the abilities of the musicians rather than the smoke and mirrors of over-production.
Backed by a four-piece band, Dennen and the band were full of energy and enthusiasm that the audience loved. From a musical standpoint and critically important was the fact that the sound was mixed perfectly as his guitar and distinctive voice were never overpowered by his band. The acoustics of the Variety Playhouse also meant that the music was crisp and clean, critically important for Dennen's vocal style.
The set continued at a good pace with Dennen providing a great blend of faster, upbeat songs and slower ballads. For the most part Dennen focused on playing music but did briefly break to encourage people to sign up as bone marrow donors through Love Hope Strength.
Highlights of the evening included live versions of his most popular hits, "She's Mine", and "Darlin, Do Not Fear". Some great music from his latest release demonstrated that Dennen's return to earlier musical influences is paying dividends; particularly good were "Not Too Late," "Wild Child and "When We Were Young."
The overwhelmingly refreshing thing about Brett Dennen's music is the sincerity with which it's presented. There is no "going through the motions" and that perspective rubs off on the audience.
For example, the first two songs of his encore were just him and his acoustic guitar and, as he sang "Desert Sunrise" and "Don't Mess with Karma", the audience were completely silent, aware of the fact that, the appeal of his music is in its soft and subtle delivery.
It's great to be able to listen music without having to do so while people around you are shouting to each other, over the music, about anything and everything except the music they paid to listen to!
The final encore brought the rest of the band back on stage for a wonderful version of "Blessed."
It was a great evening and the Variety Playhouse was a perfect venue for Brett Dennen's live music.
Jeremy Messersmith was the perfect opening act for Brett Dennen. Messersmith played a set of about forty minutes accompanied only by his acoustic guitar. His "unplugged" set was refreshingly clean and showcased the full range of his voice and lyrical ability. Singing a large selection of material from his recent release "Heart Murmurs" he demonstrated why he is considered to be one of the brightest musical artists of 2014.
Fans of Brett Dennen will not have to wait another six years to see him again in Atlanta as he is scheduled to appear at the Masquerade Music Park in August this year.

Genre: Horror, Suspense/Thriller
Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 40min
After being the only survivor of the crash of Flight 180, Clear Rivers has locked herself away in the perceived safety of a psychiatric hospital, where she lives in constant terror that Death is coming to claim her, as it did all her friends. Clear may be considered crazy, but she's not wrong. Death is moving toward suburban Route 23, heading south. En route to a weekend getaway with her friends, Kimberly Corman watches helplessly as a logging truck careens out of control and loses its deadly payload, setting off a horrifying chain reaction that leaves twisted metal and dead bodies in its wake--including her own. A moment later, Kimberley finds herself still stuck in on-ramp traffic, with a line of commuters she saw die moments before. It was only a vision, but was it a warning? Shocked into action, Kimberly blocks the cars from joining the traffic on Route 23. The commuters begin to honk and complain--until Kimberly's premonition comes true. Death tears up the highway in a massive pile-up, with those left on the on-ramp narrowly escaping with their lives. But Kimberly knows it s not over. Death will not be cheated so easily for this random group of strangers who must join Kimberly in a race against time to do what all but one of the survivors of Flight 180 couldn't--stay alive.

I began learning French in junior high school. Unfortunately my studies stopped when I was in high school, due to a bad teacher. But when I got into graduate school, I had to be able to read competently in a second language and I took up French again. I began with the very first French class and worked my way up into graduate-level French classes.
I have several fond memories of learning and using French. One time, I read a novel in French that I had read in English. Because I already knew the plot, I had a wonderful experience reading it fluently in French.
Also, in Paris, I was able to order train tickets completely in French without having to switch to English (the trick is to use a more advanced verb form--I used the conditional).
Finally, I have played in a Cajun band and learned about Cajun French.
Learning any language is challenging. French is easier to learn than, say, Chinese, because there are a lot of French words that are cognates for English (remember--the French conquered England in 1066 and all French learners since then have been grateful). I used a flash card program on my computer and made thousands of flash cards to help me memorize vocabulary and grammatical construction. I highly recommend that people learn French--it is a beautiful language with wonderful literature.

June 10, 1999
Three members of the Washington baseball team earned mention on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Assocations All-America teams, which were announced today.
Pitcher Jeff Heaverlo and catcher Dominic Woody were named to the All-America third team while outfielder Bryan Williamson earned honorable mention. All three were named to the All-Pac-10 first team last month.
Heaverlo, a junior from Ephrata, Wash., is the UW's all-time leader for strikeouts in a season and in a career. This spring, he posted a 10-4 record and fanned 131 batters in 108.2 innings. Heaverlo was drafted by the Seattle Mariners with the 33rd pick in the draft last week.
Woody, a junior from Richland, Wash., broke the Husky single-season home runs record with 19 this season, while also tying the RBI mark of 73. He was drafted in the fourth round by Florida.
Williamson, a senior from Kennewick, Wash., led Washington with his .392 batting average. He also tallied 10 home runs and 46 RBI and ranks in numerous UW career top 10s, including batting, runs, RBI, doubles and home runs. He was the Minnesota Twins' 43rd-round draft pick.

Flying ? Block
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Flying ? Blocks are ? Blocks with wings. They are one of the many blocks in the Mario series. These blocks fly around from left to right or from up and down. They also appear in different colors. Some colors include red and yellow.
Super Mario World[edit]
Flying ? Blocks first debut in Super Mario World. They appear in a few levels.
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
These flying blocks reappear in New Super Mario Bros.. This time, red ones fly around the map to a level. If Mario selects any levels they are on, he can obtain a Fire Flower, 1-Up Mushroom, Mini Mushroom, Mega Mushroom, or a Blue Shell from the blocks. The yellow Flying ? Blocks also appear throughout levels, too.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Flying ? Blocks make another appearance. This time, they function the same way as in New Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Flying ? Blocks make chirping noises similar to a real-world bird, and neither they nor their immobile counterparts can be Ground Pounded. Additionally, if Flying ? Blocks are hit, they will vanish right away, instead of turning into a normal Block.
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
They later return in Super Mario 3D Land, and are found in several levels. This game also introduces Flying Coin Blocks, which do not lose their wings until they are emptied. In certain levels, it is required to ride on them to get a Star Medal.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
They appear again in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Now, they can appear as regular ? Blocks, and get wings to fly when are hit. They will fly forward in the level a bit before stopping and rising up in the sky. In certain levels, riding these kinds of Blocks can lead to secret areas.
New Super Mario Bros. U[edit]
This blocks also appear in New Super Mario Bros. U with with the same functions as in previous games.
Mario Party 9[edit]
A flying ? Block in Mario Party 9 has the ability to spin the middle of it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – Vitamin K is needed by our bodies for blood clotting and it's one of the first shots offered to newborns. More parents are choosing to skip shots and not vaccinate their children, believing it's unhealthy and unnecessary. Now the CDC is reporting as surge of cases of life-threatening brain bleeds in babies who weren't vaccinated.
When the Shaker family had their twins, they decided against immunizations.
Melissa Shaker told Ivanhoe, "Immunizations don't seem very natural. So I just wanted to stay away from them at least for a year."
But two months after bringing the boys home, baby Silas turned very pale.
"Like he looked like he was dying white. It was scary," Melissa Shaker told Ivanhoe.
Father of baby Silas, Mark Shaker told Ivanhoe, "One of the first questions that was asked of her in the hospital was did you get the vitamin K shot?"
The Shakers hadn't. Silas had vitamin K deficiency and suffered multiple brain bleeds.
Typically the blood clotting disorder only affects 1 in 100,000 babies. But Silas is 1 of 7 cases Vanderbilt doctors have seen in the last year.
Mark Shaker said, "Had we known some of these things, we could have made smarter decisions."
Pediatric Hematologist, Robert Sidonio, Jr. MD, Msc. of Vanderbilt University told Ivanhoe, "Thankfully he was one of the cases that we'd seen after we'd already seen a couple of cases and so we gave vitamin K immediately to this child."
Doctor Sidonio believes the numbers could surge in the future because of the trend of parents refusing immunizations.
Sidonio told Ivanhoe, "Probably somewhere in the range of 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 kids will develop this."
While doctors were able to stop the bleeding in Silas, he has to take medications for seizures and he's in physical therapy to retrain his left side.
Mark Shaker told Ivanhoe, "Only time will tell. You know, will he respond to therapy? Will there be any other residual side effects of this?"
To be safe, Silas' twin Abel was also treated and is doing fine.
Doctor Sidonio says many parents have declined the vitamin K shot because of a single study circulated on the internet linking it to leukemia. But he says at least 10 studies since then have shown there is absolutely no link.

Suppose (purely hypothetically) that I was going on a vacation to the Island of Guadeloupe and I wanted to do a vacation-style AO40 satellite operation while I was there. I could bring along my FT-847. For antennas, I could use a G3RUH dish (or homebrew umbrella antenna) and an Arrow antenna (7 elements on 435 MHz) mounted on a camera tripod. Add other essential items such as coax cables, short crossboom, Heil headset, CW key, and that is a lot of stuff. And that doesn't even include a laptop computer. One way to minimize the total amount of "stuff" would be to use a very compact 12V switching power supply. My FT-847 draws about 11 Amps at max. power on 435 MHz, so I would need a switching power supply that can supply about 12 Amps peak, and would work with 110V or 220V input. I would probably need to tweak the output voltage up to 14.5V so it could power the FT-847 and the TranSystem downconverter. Can anybody recommend a particular model of switching power supply tha! ! t is extremely compact, but can supply 10-12A from 110V or 220V input? A final question. I have a very old Palm Pilot which has 500kB of memory. Is that enough to run the Palm tracking program that tracks high-orbit satellites? I forget the name of the program.

I have a laptop running Vista Home Premium. I repartitioned and installed Windows 7. I want to keep Windows 7 which is installed on Drive D and format Vista which is on Drive C. Will I still be able to boot if I format the Vista Partition?
migrated from serverfault.com Aug 6 '09 at 6:48
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
Since Vista was installed first the boot files will likely be located on C:.
If you want to format C: win 7 won't let you from inside Windows since it will cause boot problems. Easiest way to perform the format is to boot from your Windows 7 media and then start the install. At the harddrive selection screen you can format C: and then cancel the setup.
After you have done this Windows 7 will not boot. To fix the issue you boot from the Windows 7 media again and instead of Install now you select repair at the bottom left corner. At the repair menu you select automatic startup repair and let it finish. This should restore your boot files and give you a working system again.
Yes you can format the partition that Vista is on. Label the drives, right click and name each drive Win7 and Vista as appropriate. Now with a partition manager like Partition magic, or others I am sure there are free ones out there. Format the Vista partition. Make sure you have backed up anything you might need, and make sure even if you don't think you will ever need Vista again that you back it up anyway when Windows 7 is finally released you want to make sure you can upgrade a cheaply as possible which might require something off the partition you want to delete.

The 2014 election season has arrived in Oklahoma. In late 2013 it appeared the controversy over both Common Core and the A-F grading system would make the State Superintendent of Public Instruction race the hottest fire burning. With the resignation of Senator Tom Coburn two years before the end of his term, throw everything you thought you knew out the window. Here are some of the bigger races and who is potentially on deck:
Governor: Mary Fallin, incumbent (OKC area, former State House Representative, Lieutenant Governor, Congresswoman from 5th District)
Randy Brogdon, challenger and former State Senator from the Tulsa area (Owasso), as well as Mayor of Owasso. Lost to Fallin in 2010 by less than 38,000 votes.
State Superintendent: Janet Barressi, incumbent (Edmond area)
Joy Hofmeister, challenger (Tulsa area)
At least one other candidate is rumored to be considering this race.
Lieutenant Governor, Labor Commissioner, Attorney General, State Auditor and Inspector, Treasurer, Corporation Commissioner and Insurance Commissioner – no well known or funded challengers at this time, however if Congressman Bridenstine runs for Senate, this may change.
US Senate #1: James "Jim" Inhofe, incumbent
No known challengers in primary.
US Senate #2: James Lankford, announced and currently Congressman from the 5th Congressional District (center of the state, including most of Oklahoma County and all of Seminole and Pottawatomie Counties).
T.W. Shannon, expected to announce next week, currently Speaker of the House, represents the Lawton area (5th largest city in the state).
Jim Bridenstine, widely expected to announce soon, currently Congressman from the 1st Congressional District (Tulsa, Washington, and Wagoner Counties, part of Creek County).
Congressional District #1: At least five potential serious, potentially well funded candidates are waiting to see what Congressman Bridenstine decides.
Congressional District #2: Markwayne Mullin, incumbent
No known challengers in primary.
Congressional District #3: Frank Lucas, incumbent
Robert Hubbard, challenger, current Chairman of the Canadian County Republican Party
Congressional District #4: Tom Cole, incumbent
No known challengers in primary.
Congressional District #5: Patrice Douglas, current Corporation Commissioner (appointed by Governor Fallin 2011, elected without opposition 2012, up for re-election 2014) and former Mayor of Edmond (elected).
Clark Jolley, current State Senator from Edmond area and Chair of State Senate Appropriations Committee (District 41).
Steve Russell, former State Senator from south central Oklahoma City to more area (one term, District 45).
Shane Jett, former State House member from Shawnee (Pottawatomie County, District 27)
New candidate #5 – expect another well funded candidate next week. I am not at liberty to announce for them, but they will be well funded from day one.
For each statewide officeholder, State Senator or State House member that runs for something else, expect a further scramble to fill the "open" seat. Perhaps the biggest impact will be the dilution of available funds and the overwhelming flood of advertising that is about to be unleashed. How many television and radio ads before the public decides to ignore the message? Will anyone be dumb enough to use robo-calling in an attempt to gain voters? Does anyone read the Daily Oklahoman any more (or the Tulsa World)? Will mailboxes be full of literature every day from 10 campaigns?
The 2014 GOP Primary candidates will spend more money with less impact than ever before. The challenge will be to break through the noise.
At the State Senate, State House, and County levels, personal contact will trump all. The funding (unless self funded) is most likely not going to be available to compete with the millions that will be spent at the Congressional and Statewide levels. Any candidate for State House or Senate is wasting their time if they are not going to knock on doors – a LOT of doors. This creates an opportunity for "grassroots" candidates like never before, especially in the State Senate. Twenty-four of the forty-eight State Senate seats are up for election this year, with three term limited and at least one declining to run for re-election. Of course, all of the State House is up for re-election, and in addition to those who are term limited a number of current members are expected to run for other offices.

Fans rush to buy pieces of Olympic history

London 2012 medallists mugged at knifepoint in Rio
Two Olympic silver medallists were left fearing for their lives after being mugged at knifepoint in Rio de Janeiro.
Sailing duo Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, who came second in the women's 470 class at London 2012, were robbed as they walked back to their training base.
The former world champions have been in Brazil ahead of the Rio Olympics, due to take place in the summer of 2016.
Writing on their Facebook page, 470 Girls, they said:
Back in Rio for 2 weeks training. Top News Today: We've been mugged.
Our delightful walk back from the sailing club to the hotel turned fairly nasty when two guys wielding 7inch knives ran at us, pushed us around and grabbed everything we had.
Along with the things that were actually worth something, the most annoying thing right now is our lycra we were sailing in got taken. Unbelievable!!
Anyway, we made it back to the hotel slightly shaken but all okay.
Sprinter Tyson Gay suspended for one year for doping
American sprinter Tyson Gay has been suspended for one year after a positive drugs test, the US Anti-Doping Agency said.
Gay, 31, has had to return a silver medal won in the 4x100m relay at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Post mortem confirms man died by hanging
Post mortem examinations revealed the cause of death of the man as suspension caused by hanging. Compression of the neck was the cause of death for the woman.
While formal identification is awaited, officers said they were confident of the identities of both people.
The man is known as Sanjeev Kumar, 36, also known as Satbir Singh; the woman is called Poonam, 35. Poonam's family have informed officers that she does not have a family name.
Metropolitan Police said their next of kin have been informed.
Death of woman being treated as murder
The Met police said at this stage, officers are treating the death of the woman in Southwall, West London as murder. The death of the man is not being treated as suspicious.
Officers from the Homicide and Major Crime Command are investigating and no one else is being sought in connection with this incident at this time.
Bodies of married couple found in West London
Police have launched an investigation after the bodies of a woman and her husband were found at an address in Southall.
Officers were called at around 3.10pm on Friday, 29 November to an address in Priory Way, Western Road, Southall following concerns for the welfare of residents there.
Police attended and discovered the bodies of a man and a woman, both aged in their 30s. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, Met Police said.
'Countries are following Britain's lead' after Games
The successful staging of the London 2012 Olympics has led to other countries turning to Britain to help deliver their own events, according to a government official.
Reacting to news that the UK had met its four-year target of raising £11 billion worth of economic benefit from the Games in 12 months, Trade and Investment Minister Lord Green said:
"The delivery of London 2012 on time and on budget led to hosting nations turning to the UK to help deliver their own events with supply opportunities running into the billions.
"UK Trade & Investment has played a key role in helping British companies maximise these opportunities and the result is a £11.06 billion boost to the UK economy from the Games, reaching our four-year target in just over a year."
London 2012 Olympics £11 billion target met
A four-year target of raising £11 billion worth of economic benefit from the London Olympics has been met in 12 months, the Government has announced.
The country has benefited from new foreign investment, additional sales and firms winning contracts since last summer's events, according to a report.
The total includes £130 million of contracts won by UK companies for next year's soccer World Cup in Brazil, and the next Olympic Games, in Rio in 2016.
Boris jokes he 'delivered' on London 2012 baby boom
Boris Johnson reminded Tory conference delegates of his prediction that last year's London Olympics and Paralympics would spur a baby boom.
He told the Conservative Party conference: "I prophesied that the athletes had moved the people of this country to such paroxysms of excitement on the sofas of Britain that they had not only inspired a generation, but probably helped to create one as well."
"Like all my predictions and promises, I have delivered, in that GLA demographics say live births in London will be 136,942, which is more than in any year since 1966 when England won the World Cup."
'High level' of bad teeth among athletes at London 2012
Despite the beaming smiles of gold medal winners at London 2012, a study at last year's Games has found "high levels" of bad teeth among competing athletes.
Using data from 278 athletes from 25 sports, researchers found 55% had tooth decay or cavities, 45% had dental erosion and 76% had gingivitis. More than 40% were "bothered" by their oral health.
The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, concluded: "The oral health of athletes attending the dental clinic of the London 2012 Games was poor with a resulting substantial negative impact on well-being, training and performance."
Boyle tribute to 'brilliant' stuntman and wine smuggler
Danny Boyle has said everyone who was part of the London 2012 opening ceremony was "honoured" to work with the "wonderful" stuntman Mark Sutton.
The event's creative director said Mr Sutton had formed "a brilliant partnership with Gary Connery" to make crowd inside "the (Olympic Stadium) gasp" and leave them with "indelible memories" in parachuting in as James Bond and the Queen.
Mr Boyle also paid joking tribute to Mr Sutton for helping to smuggle in treats for the Olympic team in the hard slog towards planning the global show, saying:
Courtesy of loading the helicopter in Essex, and thereby avoiding the official security ban on alcohol in the park during rehearsal, he and Gary also smuggled with them an excellent bottle of wine for the crew each evening and before we all went home we would often drink their health.
They of course, as top stuntmen, never touched a drop but they sensed our need of occasional fortification!

I've got a Debian VPS set up with a LAMP-stack. My apache2 instance runs on the user account 'www-data'.
In addition to the root account and the service accounts I have several user accounts belonging to friends, family and myself that includes FTP-access. This is to allow the users to drop files to the root of their domain which is located in their home folder.
I am having issues with setting the correct permissions so that Apache is able to serve the content ("403 Forbidden"). I could just do a 'chmod -R 755 *' on the entire www-directory for each domain, but from what I gather that's not a good idea.
Here's an example of the structure:
apache2 is run by 'www-data'
User 'john' has this home folder structure
How can I keep things safe while still allowing users to upload content via FTP, and allow for file-uploads in lets say Wordpress?
