WPRK's popular radio show "Local Heroes" returns to the airwaves Wednesday, March 12 after a short hiatus. There have been a few changes to the show, but the focus is still on bringing attention to the abundance of talent in Orlando, including local bands. For the first show back they will have Orlando band Violectric as their music guest and comedic group Digital Boobs doing stand-up comedy on the air.
"For season three we're going to keep pushing the boundaries," said show host Daniel Pacchioni. "[We've] added two new co-hosts, Ilene Leiber and George Wallace. Although very different, they're both very respectable in their fields. I think we have great chemistry and bring something different to the table. Our format will stay the same with a slight change and will resemble a late night talk show with less talk and more music. We will have a musical performance every single week, which is unique by itself and great guests at the top of the hour."
The two new co-hosts are well-known in their fields and will bring a varied perspective to the radio show. Ilene Lieber is the owner and publicist at Passion PR Communications Consulting, which represents the area's top brands in entertainment and hospitality. Aside from being a skilled media consultant, she is also a writer and self-professed pop culture junkie. George Wallace is the General Manager of the Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival as well as Vice President of Ivanhoe Village Main Street. He is also attending Rollins College, where WPRK is located.
Real Feel Recording will return for season three and will be running the sound for the live performances during the show. Also returning will be Shauna of East Coast Photography. Joining the team will be videographer Chad Pearce, who will be shooting and editing the live performances.
"Local Heroes" airs on Wednesday's from 5-7 p.m. on Rollins College radio station WPRK 91.5 FM. Fans can keep up with the show on their You Tube channel, Facebook page and Twitter feed. Fans can listen worldwide online at Tune In.

Drywall Paint, Rolled
Painting your drywalled walls can be a fun, but tiring process. Using a roller will expedite the process, and provide more even coverage than if you use a paint brush. There really isn't much to the process, but the following tips should give you a bit of a helping hand.
Preparation: Before beginning any paint job, it is important to properly prepare the area. Begin by masking everything that you do not want paint on, and covering the large surfaces with drop cloths. Make sure your room is well-ventilated, and there are no obstacles to interfere with moving your ladders around. Be sure to wear old clothes, as you will not be able to use them again. Covering your head with a protective scarf is recommended as well because a roller will inevitably splatter paint into your hair.
Application: Work from the ceiling down as the paint from above may drip or splatter onto the surfaces below. It helps to have a long pole attachment on your roller for overhead or elevated work. Using your painting tray, cover the roller with paint, and squeegee off any excess to avoid it dripping into your eyes or onto the floor below. Apply a thin, even coat and allow to dry. It should dry within a couple of hours, and then you can repeat the process. For the second coat, work from the opposite direction to cover any areas you may have missed with the first application. The process is the same for the walls. Work from the top down, and apply a couple of coats. You will need to paint the edges and corners with a brush.
The roller is a great tool. It works more quickly than a brush, and is less messy than a sprayer. You can purchase them very inexpensively, around $5.00 for a handle and tray set, and anyone can use them.

Turkish Airlines acquires CAE 7000 Series Boeing 777-300ER Full Flight Simulator…
Istanbul, February 19, 2010 – Turkish Airlines, a member of Star Alliance, today announced that it has purchased a 7000 Series Full Flight Simulator (FFS) representing the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft from CAE.
The Boeing 777-300ER FFS will be delivered to the Turkish Airlines Flight Training Centre in 2010, along with a CAE Simfinity™ Integrated Procedures Trainer (IPT) for the Boeing 737NG. The contract renews a relationship between Turkish Airlines and CAE which began in 1997.
Dr. Temel Kotil, CEO and Member of Board of Turkish Airlines said there will be more simulator orders to bring Turkish Airlines Flight Training Facility a global brand. CAE's early delivery and competitive offer for such state of the art device was the key factor for selecting CAE as B777-300ER Simulator supplier.
"We are very pleased that Turkish Airlines has selected CAE's new generation flight simulation solutions," said Jeff Roberts, CAE's Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. "CAE has been proud to serve THY's flight training needs for more than a decade, and look forward to being a strong partner as Turkish Airlines continues to grow its global business."
The Boeing 777-300ER FFS is expected to be qualified to JAR Level D, the highest standard for full-flight simulators, by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Turkey and other National Aviation Authorities.
CAE provides simulation and modeling technologies and integrated training solutions for the civil aviation industry and defense forces around the globe. With annual revenues exceeding C$1.6 billion, CAE employs more than 6,500 people at more than 90 sites and training locations in 20 countries.

Thank you for bringing Lola back to Hogtie. She is beautiful, has a terrific body, and her reactions are natural. She is obviously an intelligent gal and she obviously likes to be helpless. She is one of my favorites...! Welcome back lovely Lola.
|May 17, 2005
Sorry, was interrupted by several phone calls. The beautiful model I would like to see you bring back is Veronika Kell. You Matt had a terrific interraction with her, and her reactions, like Harmony's seemed really genuine. Also loved Lola, a first timer who seemed so innocent and genuine. Get Harmony back again. She was truly wonderful, and handled everything with such elan.
|May 17, 2005
Harmony is the beautiful greatest...!!! She's also articulate about what she likes/wants. Fantastic session...! One hope I have is that you will bring back another beauty with whom you had a terrific interaction.
|Mar 1, 2005
You do pretty consistently terrific work on this site, but this series just doesn't do it. It really doesn't capture the interaction between Matt and the models like so many of the other productions do... and it seem so trumped up. Great setting, and there's a lot of potential here, but the series just doesn't measure up. How about bringing Veronika back. I loved the interaction and her reactions. One of your truly beautiful models. I'd also like to see Molly Matthews again in the newer more powerful formats that seem so much more real and natural than the older productions. Thanks for your good work.
|Feb 19, 2004
Wait a minute...! I gave this a 5, and it came out 3. It's a top notch piece... definitely deserving of the top rating...!
|Feb 18, 2004
I loved it... beautiful woman... incredibly flexible, and she obviously enjoys being bound... great ropework... wonderful orgasms. Top notch piece... and I appreciated Maria's comments.

Fears caused by the Ebola outbreak in Liberia may now be responsible for its unchecked spread throughout a Monrovian slum after residents of the nation's capital raided a quarantine center for suspected patients, and ran off with bloody mattresses and sheets as well as other medical equipment. The disease is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids including blood, vomit, urine, sweat and feces. The center was located in a closed primary school originally built by USAID.
According to Liberia's assistant health minister Tolbert Nyenswah, residents of the West Point slum (home to approximately 50,000 people as per a 2012 census survey) became angered over the fact that 30 Ebola patients had been brought to the holding center there from other parts of Monrovia, and began looting the clinic. Many of those patients fled during the attack, 10 of which were reportedly taken away by their families, as armed men ransacked the clinic shouting insults about President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and chanting, "There is no Ebola in Liberia." As a result both patients and their attackers may now be spreading the disease throughout the entire West Point neighborhood located on a stretch of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Montserrado River.
A local resident reported seeing see people "fleeing with looted items, many of which were visibly stained with human waste."
Despite the fact that more than 400 (known) people have died from the virus in Liberia, many people there refuse to believe that the epidemic is anything more than a hoax.
Police have now restored order to the neighborhood, and once the patients are located, officials stated that they would be transferred to the Ebola center at John F. Kennedy Memorial Medical Center, the city's largest hospital.
The Ebola outbreak, which began in Guinea in February, quick spread to neighboring Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria, and is responsible for over 1,145 deaths, including 76 new ones this past week according to the World Health Organization. To date there have been at least 2,127 verified cases.

I asked a somewhat related question recently and then became interested in this one: how many people are required, on average, until 3 share a birthday? More generally, if we have $M$ bins, what is the expected number of balls we must toss before some bin contains exactly 3 balls?
The straightforward techniques used in the question cited above seem hard-to-apply here because the number of ways to obtain configurations with 2-balls-or-fewer is quite a bit messier now.
Question: what is the expected number of balls needed to obtain a bin with 3 balls in it?
To expand a bit on the "messy" comment above: the EGF for the number of ways to toss $n$ balls into $M$ bins with no bin containing more than 2 balls is $$(1+z+z^2/2)^M$$
So, for example, if we have $M=3$ bins, the number of ways for $n$ balls to be arranged (with no bin having more than 2 balls) is found by taking the $n$-th coefficient of $$(1+z+z^2/2)^3 = 1/0! + 3 z/1! + 9z^2/2! + 24z^3/3! + 54z^4/4! + 90z^5/5! + 90z^6/6!$$
So if I want the number of 4-letter words from the alphabet $\{a,b,c\}$ where no letter occurs more than twice, it's the coefficient of ${z^4/4!}$ or 54 according to this formula. We can verify this directly by noticing there are three 4-letter words with all characters the same (aaaa, bbbb, and cccc). For the words with 3 letters the same and one different, there are 4 ways to choose the position of the different letter, then 3 choices of what that letter is, then 2 choices for the three letters that match. The total number of 4-letter words is therefore $3^4=81$, so we have $81-3-4\cdot 3\cdot 2 = 54$. Of course this gets complicated as $M$ increases.
How you get from this EGF to an asymptotic estimate of the expectation is beyond me.
Note: Byron's answer below settles this. For anyone interested, this fully generalizes to "k-wise collisions" using
$$E(M,k) \approx \sqrt[k]{k!}\ \Gamma(1 + 1/k)\ M^{1-1/k}$$
where setting $k=3$ yields the result in Byron's answer below. Of course this is an asymptotic result and gets better as $M$ increases. For $M$=365 this formula yields about 82.87, whereas the correct answer is about 88.73891.

Oscar nominations are such a farce. The trouble is that people take them so seriously. They cheer their favorite winners and become angry about the one's that did not win. Actually, there are serious reasons why the Oscar awards are dangerous.
1. They give the impression that people of competence have made the selections when the truth is that is it a horserace with the horse picking the winners.
2. Many of the awards go to those movies and actors who set a very poor example of honorable and moral living. That would not be so bad if there were not such a profound influence on children.
3. Young and old copy their dress and hairstyle without a thought of their own personality showing through and what really looks good on them.
4. Such a tremendous amount of money is spent on this exercise of vanity that could be put to better use.
5. These awards further boost the idea that Hollywood is an authority about most everything including politics and the mindless public should simply accept what spills from alcoholic lips.
6. It is very difficult for a professional in Hollywood to be a conservative or confess that they are Christians. It is far more tolerant to have someone come out of the closet as a gay than as a Christian.
7. The rating system of Hollywood's movies is also a farce. Some R ratings have no nudity when a G-14 might. There is no way to protect anyone from the socialism and immorality compromised into the thinking of the average person.
8. These awards benefit no one except the horse.
9. Who really cares if such and such an actress is wearing a certain color dress. In fact, it is really a competition to see what woman can show as much skin as possible without being totally naked.
10. There is no monitoring or control mechanism for the preparations or production of the nomination awards so that any type of nonsense and garbage can leak from one's television screen.
OK, after reading this column, no double the next thing to happen is to watch the Oscars. What does that tell about the viewers that know better?

He may be known for tough-guy roles in films such as The Departed, but Ray Winstone says there is too much violence on television.
15:29, UK, Friday 27 December 2013
Ray Winstone says there is too much emphasis on violence and drugs in modern television drama.
The actor has made a career out of playing the hard man, but he seems to have softened for his latest role in Sky1's TV adaptation of the classic children's novel Moonfleet.
The two-part adaptation of John Meade Falkner's 19th Century novel airs this weekend and is a tale of smuggling and adventure.
It sees Winstone's character, Elzevir, lead a band of smugglers in the search for a lost diamond.
"It's about honour and about morals, and a young man trying to find his way in the world," he told Sky News.
"In a way, we don't really write stories about that anymore. Our stories centre on - and I've done enough of them to know - wives being battered and drug dealers in the States.
"But these stories are about honour, about a moral and about a young man coming out of puberty and adolescence and growing up and what the important things in life are."
Winstone, who is best known for playing violent characters in films such as Scum and The Departed, is performing something of a U-turn by appearing in family-friendly Christmas television, but he says the small screen holds just as much magic as the silver screen.
"You are making films for TV. There used to be a terrible snobbery between making films and making TV. It used to be that once you had been in TV you couldn't go back to films.
"But Al Pacino, being the great star he is, went and done it, and it opened the floodgates from there and that's great for us. But I think it's also great for an audience because we need some drama. We're not getting that on TV enough."
Moonfleet also stars Omid Djalili, Ben Chaplin, Martin Trenaman and Aneurin Barnard. and is on Sky1 HD on Saturday December 28 at 8pm.

After eating so much yummy farm to table food at Royal Fig's event planner luncheon at their new Harvest Room, I just had to whip up a gorgeous board inspired by farm to table cuisine. Think bright, fresh cherries and strawberries…savory squash and zucchini…mouth-watering chicken and beef…all natural and all delicious.
This inspiration board is for our FOODIE brides and grooms! Every detail in the menu from a craft beer bar to an organic fresh cut arugula and tangerine salad could be a multi-sensory experience…I think they call that a food-gasm (hush your mouth!)
We know quite a few venues in the Austin area that are perfect for this type of wedding…from Barr Mansion (with in-house organic caterers who plan menus by the season) to venues like Inn Above Onion Creek (where The Simplifiers were last weekend for a client wedding!) that work closely with Royal Fig catering, The Simplifiers know the best spots in town that create the perfect backdrop for a farm to table wedding.
The cheery colors of this inspiration board were inspired by Marquee Event Group's Lemon Yellow Polyester, Kelly Green Polyester and Cherry Natural linens.
The Simplifiers are Austin's top event planning and personal concierge firm, offering full service wedding planning for luxurious events, dreamy events, quirky events and everything else in between. For more information, visit www.thesimplifiers.com or give us a jingle at 512.695.7744.

Thread: OBR Toxic Twin Build
OBR Toxic Twin Build
I have been following Maxits thread with great interest of the past few weeks and thought I'd have a go at doing a build thread myself. I bought and built the 5SC kit a few months back, wasn't really interested in it once finish and thought to sell it on eBay to help fund a turbine project I've got sitting in the back of my head.
No takers for the 5SC on eBay so what to do? Saw some options on Twins, with there being both a water cooled version and an air cooled version. Water cooled looked a little complicated and maybe somewhat fragile for bashing so I ordered the air cooled Toxic Twin from TGN last week.
Fedex deliverd on Monday just passed and the fun has begun. I bought the kit which includes all the parts needed to install into the Baja which is good value at approximately $2k delivered including customs duties.
Was somewhat surprised when I opend the box to notice the engine was just thrown in loose with a heap od scrunched up brown paper, no plastic bag, no bubble wrap or any form of additional protection. Thankfully Fedex were careful in this case and no damage done.
There was some tape over the exhaust ports but nothing over the intake and on closer inspection there were large amounts of filings in the clutch housing and around most parts of the engine. I ended up striping the top of the engine down and washing it thoroughly in petrol as I could't be sure the filings hadn't gotten into the crankcase during transport.
That was the first issue, Second issue was there was no instructions and no hardware to mount the exhausts to the chassis but to Sean at OBR's credit he did offer to post the missing hardware kit and answered all question I had very promptly. A trip to Lee Brothers Engineering in Nth Parramata solved the issues with missing screws.
Hoping to finish over the weekend so I can fire it up on Monday cause Wednesday I'm off to Ceduna in S.A and planning to have some fun in the Nullabor with this beast along with my FG Leopard 4WD. No one there to complain about the noise and plenty of space

That looks sick. When you get back from SA why don't you come and join the Baja section at SSME and race your FG. When your a member you can go out to the track when ever you like with no complaints from neighbours.
Krusty mate it looks like the 1/5th hobby had certainly evolved for you mate.
We did see Krusty out at the track a couple of years back with a very powerful and fully blinged Baja.
It would be good to see you back mate, there's another FG leopard racing in 4x4 class, you should give it a crack.

I have seen one of these twins in action and it just powerstands all over the place. My view is that the engine needs to be mid mounted to get some weight forward, then you can mash the throttle and not have an instant backflip. So much power and no weight makes everyone happy. Kind of makes you wanna take an RM 50 motorcycle engine and drop that in, wonder if there is a servo strong enough to change gears

Quick update.....
Mr Baja, bashing is not an issue with the Team Chase roll cage which is in the attached pictures. A bit of Dremel fun getting it to fit but should provide plenty of protection for everything except for what it hits
XR8Ute, was actually out Luddenham way a few open days back observing the action and listening to you tear into a few over zealous drivers inside the container....heheheh. I promise I will get out there sign up eventually but I'd like to be in a position where I can commit the time to both the racing and prep days.
I work mostly nights from home so while I have plenty of time to build I have almost no time or oportunity to actually drive my toys. I do on occasion fire up the blinged up TS beast you saw out Luddenham a couple years back fot some hot laps up and down my front street while the neighbors are at work. I have a good collection of 1/5 scale cars and buggies including, 2 Baja's, the Baja 5SC, FG Leopard 4WD Competition, FG EVO 10 Competition, FG 2010 F1, FG Monster Jeep Competition and various other Tamiya electrics.
Pictures of the roll cage...hoping to fire it up on Monday ready to pack for my trip to S.A on Wednesday. Sorry if they are a bit dark, I'll get better pictures when I can get outside in the sunlight or onto the kitchen table when the wife isn't looking

Lmao ....... Krusty you should have said hello mate.
Classic you caught me getting stuck into Mr.Baja .... Jonny you poor bugger!! He's a good boy really .
When you do get the time K it would be great to have you as a member mate.

What are you gonna do about cooling mate?
these are common for getting super hot! temps above 450*F !!
have you got a temp guage for it?
Imagine this thing at Stockton Beach.
Some more pictures with better light. I'm of similiar opinion about engine temps especially with the body on as the engine will be enclosed and there's not much airflow. I'll probably run it wthout the body anyway for a while and check the temps to see just how hot it gets. I have one of those infrared temp guns so no problems checking just how hot various parts get. Might cut out some holes in the front windscreen on the body and put some fine alloy mesh just to aid cooling if necessary.
Still haven't managed to start it, been flat out at work so I can go on holidays so the first start will be somewhere in far western NSW. Need to pack some spares and tools not to mention paddles I will try to get some video of it in action but I'm travelling alone so might be tough to drive and hold the camera.

Deano you bring back memories of when i was in high school of a certain teacher i had, only saw him once a week for 1 period for a stupid class that i cant remember what it was (hence how interested i was in it) and every time i saw him i would get yelled at and get into trouble for something
aahhhhhh im goin to sleep
I found a possible way you could cool the engine:
Belt driven fan connected to fly wheel area.Brushless HPI Savage X
Tamiya TT-01
Team Associated RC10 Vintage
Finally started it today and f$&k me it's loud!!! I thought my TS reed engine with Dominator pipe was loud but it only disturbs the dead, this twin wakes the dead then bitch slaps them back to life...heheheh. Ceduna in S.A used to be a quiet town but not anymore. The Nullabor is about 300km west of here so I'll go for a drive on Monday and play in the sand for the day. I'll upload some pictures when I can figure out how on the iPad.
Should be back in Sydney on the 30th so may get out to luddenham for open day and finally get signed up. Dean if you can pm me the amount I need to pay to join on the 31st I'll get a money order done and bring it with me or I can pay cash.
Going to go fit the poco switch as the engine stop button is buried under the pipe where it's impossible to reach without a stick or burnt fingers.

jeez theres not much clearance between the gear cover and the rear tyre. Im guessing that 5b wheels cant be fitted with these twins?
either way, it looks nuts!!
Took the twin up the sandhills today not far from where I'm staying which was great fun. Count me in for sure on the next Stockton outing as this thing is incredible with paddles. One observation is not to stop or slow down in the softer sand as with the extra weight in the rear end it just bogs in and won't move. Managed to get my friends son to shoot some video with my phone and I'll get it uploaded on my return.
Now the bad part....after some serious thrashing around the sandhills the engines exhaust note changed. I thought possibly it had run out of fuel as I'd been running for 30 or so minutes but not so much above half throttle so it shouldn't have been that low. I stopped to have a look and noticed the insulator manifold where it bolts up to the head on 1 cylinder had come loose and was flapping about with only a few threads stopping it from completely falling off. Now I'll have to strip the motor down for the second time to see if it sucked any sand in to the bore.
First strip down was for loose aluminium filings in and around the intake from where they machined them but I didn't remove the insulator from the head so this latest stuff-up is pure OBR not using threadlock.
I've already fired off a please explain to Sean at OBR asking if they'll warrant any engine damage from sand entering the cylinder due to their poor quality assembly process.
On a positive note to finish, the Twin starts after a few pulls and once warm starts first pull. Throttle response is near instant and with paddles it'll rooster tail sand 15-20 metres.
Pictures and video on my return to Sydney this coming Friday. If the strip down shows no sand in the engine I'll bring it out the the open day at SSME on the 31st

Women's Swimming Jumps Up To No. 16 In Final Mid-Major Poll
April 22, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - The UMass women's swimming and diving team has been ranked No. 16 in the final Collegeswimming.com Mid-Major poll that was released Monday. The women jumped five spots from the pre-conference rankings. Harvard took the No.1 spot, with Princeton and Miami (Ohio) rounding out the top-three.
In all 121 teams from seventy-five schools participated in the season's polling. Now in its 11th year, the Mid-Major Rankings serve to provide an objective point system to compare teams' relative strength in a traditional dual meet lineup. The ranking is available to those institutions that a) are not members of a BCS conference or Mountain West Conference, or b) provide fewer than one-half of the allowable scholarships under the NCAA rules.
The Minutewomen only swam against one opponent in the top-25, however, they also took on 11 teams sitting just outside the top-25.
UMass was the highest representative, who qualified to be in the top-25, from the Atlantic 10. The 2013 A-10 Champ Richmond did not submit their times. Six other A-10 teams were ranked outside the top-25.
The highest ranked opponent for the Minutewomen was No. 20 Dartmouth, who the team faced on January 26 at the Upper Valley Invitational.

Penn State Fayette THON Team raises $93,000 to fight pediatric cancer
The Penn State Fayette THON team—a group of 55 Fayette students—raised a record $93,173.48 for THON 2013. This year, THON teams across Penn State University campuses raised a combined total of $12,374,034.46 in an effort to fight pediatric cancer, topping last year's record $10.6 million.
The Penn State Dance MaraTHON is a yearlong fundraising event contributing to The Four Diamonds Fund, which strives to beat childhood cancer by helping children and their families, treating them at Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey, Pa.
Since the organization of the Fayette campus THON team 16 years ago, the team has raised over $825,000 for the Four Diamonds Fund charity.
Among Penn State's 19 Commonwealth Campuses, the Fayette THON Team has been the No. 1 fundraising campus 12 of the past 16 years; the team placed second in 2005, 2006, 2011, and 2013.
Student dancers, student volunteers, faculty, staff, alumni and family members from throughout the University system packed the Bryce Jordan Center at University Park for the concluding THON weekend Feb. 15–17. Team members from Penn State Fayette traveled to the Byrce Jordan Center in University Part, Pa. to join a crowd of 15,000. Fayette's six allotted dancers completed the exhausting 46 hour no-sitting, no-sleeping event.

About the Library
The Fayetteville Free Library began as a subscription reading room in 1906 when 50 public-minded citizens banded together to share their periodical subscriptions. The original Library, which charged a fifty cent membership fee, was at 114 E. Genesee Street. The Library grew rapidly and soon books, borrowed from the New York State Library, and children's services were added.
In 1911, a permanent charter was received from the Board of Regents. The name was changed from "reading room" to "free library" meaning there was no longer any membership fee.
By 1922, the need for more space had become critical. The Board of Trustees purchased the McViccar home at 111 E. Genesee St. after the passing of Harriet McViccar, one of the Library's early founders and its original librarian.
The Greek Revival house, built in the early 1800s, underwent a major expansion in 1968 and then a reorganization in 1992 in order to offer greater accessibility for all patrons.
In 2003, the Board of Trustees once again responded to the need for more space for the Library's growing collections and programs and for improved parking access. The former Stickley Furniture factory at 300 Orchard Street was purchased and renovated in the first of a multi-phased plan designed to accommodate patrons of all ages with state-of-the-art technology, media collections, and program opportunities.
Since 2003, with support from the local community, businesses, foundations and the State of New York, the FFL has executed three additional phases of facilities development, adding the following:
- A community meeting space with AV and surround sound
- Staff and volunteer work spaces
- Small meeting and tutoring spaces
- A cafe serving coffee and refreshments in our cozy Reading Room
The Library remains true to its mission of providing free and open access to information in a lifelong learning center.

Sheriff's detectives were contacted Monday afternoon by the Office of Probation and Parole after receiving information about a possible meth lab at Christopher Helmke's apartment at 16623 Missionary Ridge, Casey Rayborn Hicks said in a news release. Detectives later found about 100 bottles inside the apartment, Hicks said. The bottles were being used as miniature, "shake-and-bake" style meth labs but were inactive when found, Hicks said. Detectives also found a package of meth that weighed about 12 grams — or about a half ounce, including the package weight, Hicks said. Helmke has been booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on one count each of possession of schedule I narcotics and creation of a clandestine lab, Hicks said. This investigation is ongoing, and more counts may be pending, Hicks said. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

College Hockey:Tuesday Morning Quarterback: Oct. 30
Welcome to Tuesday Morning Quarterback, USCHO.com's freeform debate about the week that was in college hockey. Every Tuesday in this space, Jim Connelly, representing the East, and Scott Brown, representing the West, will discuss the issues of the day, trade barbs, make indefensible claims about their teams and leagues and generally rant about the things that make college hockey great.
Scott: So, Jim, we saw a couple of chinks in the heretofore-unstoppable WCHA's armor over the weekend. Mind you, St. Cloud State beat Bemidji twice and Minnesota did the same to Ohio State — barely — but New Hampshire swept Colorado College, which was coming off a sweep of its own over the Gophers. Just home ice, or are the Hockey East preseason co-favorites as good as they seem like they might be?
Jim: New Hampshire definitely woke a lot of people up this weekend with the sweep of CC. What's important to note is the resilience of the Wildcats, who rallied for the win on Friday and scored in the third to break a tie on Saturday. Couple that with a solid third period a week earlier at Boston University and you have to like the mental toughness of UNH — definitely a good quality come March. Another Eastern team that shined this week, albeit against an Eastern opponent, was RIT in its upset of Cornell. Do you think this could be a down year for the Big Red?
Scott: Cornell has been good — usually very good — for quite a while now, so it's hard to get your arms around the possibility that this could be a tough year for the Big Red. To be fair, in the ECAC it seems like first place and last place are separated by about six points in the standings every season, so there's no reason to panic for Mike Schafer's crew just yet. The loss to the defending regular-season Atlantic Hockey champions won't go in any Cornell fan's highlight reel, but I'm intrigued by the Tigers more than I am concerned for the Big Red. Speaking of expectations, there's Miami, the new No. 1 in this week's USCHO.com/CSTV poll and a team that seems to get better every year. Have the RedHawks entered the rarefied air of powerhouses Michigan and Michigan State in the CCHA? Are we seeing a shakeup in a league pecking order that's been sanctified for as long as I can remember?
Jim: To be honest with you, Brownie, I've thought that Miami has been on the uptick for a couple of years now. Last year, I thought they were a very impressive team when I saw them play in the NCAA tournament, but they ran into a red-hot Boston College team. But I like what Enrico Blasi has done with his team. They have a depth of hard-working, blue-collar players and definitely have come to play this year. The next three weekends — against Northern Michigan, Notre Dame and Michigan State — will definitely separate the men from boys. But there's a part of me that believes that Miami can survive. 4-2-0 in that span is good, but 5-1-0 isn't beyond expectations. I know that would mean beating your beloved Spartans, but that's certainly not out of the realm of possibility, right?
Scott: No, not at all — as a true Spartan, I know what they're capable of, both in a good and bad way. And I've had a soft spot for Miami for some time, especially after meeting Blasi at the Frozen Four a couple of years back after we'd named him our national coach of the year. He was genuine and personable, and when you put that together with the record he's compiled, you've got a very successful and likable ninth-year head coach who's still somehow younger than I am. Changing topics, what more do we know about Boston University after two losses at Michigan?
Jim: Well, 0-4-1 is an ugly start for BU, its worst since 1976. That year, though, the Terriers also made the Frozen Four. Though I don't know if this year's team will come close to the Frozen Four, I firmly believe they're better than their record indicates. Anyone who knows BU, knows that Terrier teams generally peak around the Beanpot, but Terrier fans would hope that the team could get off to a better start than they have. This week should tell us where in Hockey East BU stands. The Terriers face Providence and Massachusetts-Lowell, both of whom were picked to finish in the lower echelon of the league. If BU is still winless come Saturday night, then you can start writing the obituary. Speaking of death, has Wayne State decided to pull the plug on the program before the season is over? I know there's not a lot for these players to play for, but things have been pretty brutal from day one this season for the Warriors.
Scott: Wayne State's start to the season couldn't have been much rougher, with five losses and a tie in six games. I know everyone's saying the right things about playing hard despite the program's impending end, but one has to wonder how much of a psychological toll the news is taking. It can't be easy to concentrate for the players and coaches alike, considering that most of them must feel like they're auditioning for spots with other programs next season. Happier news for the CHA is there in the form of Niagara, at least, which sports a 20-game home unbeaten streak. The Purple Eagles' run kind of sneaked up on me, but since their next four games are on the road, we'll be able to muse this over for a couple more weeks at a minimum. Anything else catch your fancy?
Jim: Niagara is a great team to talk about. The Purple Eagles seem to be playing well and, I'll admit, until you just mentioned it I had no idea about the 20-game home unbeaten streak. Aside from the Purple Eagles, another team that catches my eye hails from another emerging conference: Holy Cross. Its tough to gauge how a team will be this early in the season, but head coach Paul Pearl has to like the fact that his team was able to beat Providence on the road and then earn three points out at Mercyhurst, perennially a tough place to play. We'll see how this weekend turns out, and reconvene next week with more on the agenda.

Box Score
UCLA Softball on Twitter | UCLA Softball on Facebook
2013 UCLA Softball Media Guide
TUCSON, Ariz. - The 18th-ranked Bruins posted their first mercy-rule win against #22 Arizona since 2005 and their first in Tucson since 1999, as UCLA took this weekend's Pac-12 series with a 9-1, six-inning triumph on Saturday at Hillenbrand Stadium. Sophomore Stephany LaRosa and freshman Mysha Sataraka homered, freshman Allexis Bennett had two hits and sophomore Ally Carda struck out five in the circle.
Carda earned her 20th victory of the season, as UCLA improved to 30-15 overall and 7-11 in Pac-12 play. The sophomore had 1-2-3 innings in the first and third and fanned a batter in every frame but the first. She allowed just one run, five hits and one walk in six innings of work.
After scoring 13 on Friday against the Wildcats, the 22 runs over the last two games are the most scored in back-to-back contests versus Arizona. Seven different Bruins had hits, as they had eight as a team.
The Wildcats (28-19, 5-10) got on the board in the bottom of the second. With one out, Lauren Young walked, moved to second on a bloop single to left off the bat of Brigette Del Ponte and scored on a single up the middle by Mandie Perez to make it 1-0. Arizona still had runners at the corners with one out, but Carda struck out Gabby Sandstedt and induced Alex Lavine into a ground out to second to end the threat.
The Bruins came back with three in the top of the third. Bennett led off with a single just inside the left-field foul line and LaRosa hit her 11th homer of the season to left-center to put the visitors up 2-1. Two outs later, Sataraka drew a walk and freshman Brittany Moeai reached on an infield single to the 5-6 hole to put a pair on base. Senior Devon Lindvall then tapped a comebacker to Shelby Babcock in the circle, but the Arizona hurler threw wide to first, allowing Sataraka to score all the way from second to make it 3-1.
UCLA only had one hit in the fourth, an infield single, but scored three times. Sophomore Gracie Goulder led off with a walk, Bennett beat out a chip shot to short for an infield hit and LaRosa walked to load the bases for senior B.B. Bates, who was hit by a pitch to force home Goulder to make it 4-1. One out later, Sataraka grounded one to short, but Del Ponte's throw to the plate was high, allowing not only Bennett to score, but also LaRosa from second to increase the advantage to 6-1.
The Bruins scored three more times in the sixth. Bates led off the inning with a single up the middle and was pinch-run for by sophomore Kaelin Sprawls, who moved to third on a double to right by Carda. Both then came home on Sataraka's laser home run over the wall in left-center, her fifth of the season, to make it 9-1 UCLA.
The Bruins play four times at Easton Stadium next week, starting with a 3 p.m. tilt against UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday. Gametracker will be available at UCLABruins.com, as well as live updates at twitter.com/uclasoftball.

The Judiciary committee has postponed its scheduled April 8 markup of the patent reform bill.
In it's executive business meeting last week, Senator Leahy indicated they were shooting for April 8 to markup the bill. But the action was postponed. And significantly, no executive manager's meeting was held at all. It had been anticipated that if legislators hit a snag, they would at least talk about progress in such a meeting today. The lack of a meeting could be a sign either that there is significant contention in the committee, or it may mean they are too busy hammering out the final details to take the time. It is hoped that markup may be scheduled for Thursday, April 8.
There are indications that the two sides - those wanting substantial reform and those only wanting a limited measure - are having trouble coming together on a compromise. Not surprisingly, the most effective measure, fee-shifting, is the one that is causing most of the trouble.
Another effective measure, covered business method expansion, was killed off at just this point in the legislative process on the House side - right before markup. Many in Silicon Valley and on Main Street are watching closely to see if the same fate befalls fee-shifting. Just last week, in a Google hangout, Senator Schumer stated that reform advocates should make sure their Senators knew how they felt in order to "not let the usual political B.S. get in the way..."

text: This wide sandy beach stretches farther than the eye can see, lined with fancy condominiums and sprawling resort hotels. Many folks who stay here on holiday , most of them on package tours, are so happy with this wide sandy beach and everything else about this planned resort and residential community that they don't feel the need to venture elsewhere. So that's a pretty good recommendation. Quiet and peaceful, this area offers a wealth of diversions when sun and sand pale, including golf on three professional courses, a water park, yacht club, marinas, shopping at a huge air-conditioned mall and dining at some really good restaurants, most of which are fairly new, as is this entire area.

Silver Linings Playbook Movie Reviews
Silver Linings Playbook
Release Date: Nov 21, 2012
Genre: Comedy
Rating: (R)
User reviews on Silver Linings Playbook
SIlver Linings Playbook was a most interesting movie. I never really go bored watching this. The filmmakers handled the subject matter with respect, while injecting some humor and music (I mean a real dance number!) throughout. It is no wonder that the movie received the recognition it did. Good job all around.
"Silver Linings Playbook" is smart and sympathetic and (spoiler) romantic. The performances of the leads and supporting casts are composed, sympathetic, vulnerable, powerful and perfect.
The direction is a bit too tight.
4 out of 5 Smiling Maqz's.
For a complete review
This movie has been out for over two months and I am ashamed to say I waited that long to see it at the theatre. The cast was great and it was one of those movies that each actor/actress fits the role they were cast for perfectly. Another great piece of writing of how we get to see mental illness in a different light than what we had seen it before in movies.
The the Deadskins fan, could try to right something a little more detailed next time? LOL And Don't leave anything out!
I'm from Dallas and grew up watching Skins, Eagles, and Giants be Cowboy's bi-tches its ok, we all have a past.
Thanks for the tip on the movie, i trust a bra' if he said he likes a chick looking movie like this, it must be decent.
BTW, we don't mind loaning you some Texans --RG3, Orakpo, etc… so Deadskins can win too, LOLOLOL
You would think I couldn't like a romantic comedy that celebrates the Philadelphia Eagles and has dancing. That's a bad combination for me. I grew up in the Washington D.C. area and spent over half my life in the area watching and rooting for the Redskins through the 1980's and on winning three super bowls with great players like Gary Clark, Monte Coleman, Art Monk, Darrell Green, Charles Mann, Brian Mitchell, Mark Rypien and Ricky Sanders. I along with our family grew up hating the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants. It's ingrained on our brains, and to be honest they suck. Any way it makes it harder for me to enjoy films that revolve around these teams, and then the romantic comedy factor. I'm not a big fan of the genre. Sure I've enjoyed some like Wimbledon, The Princess Bride, Pretty Woman and Sweet Home Alabama, but in general the genre sucks. I know the films are primarily made for women, but in most there is no chemistry between the leads, which makes the romance unbelievable. There is also usually the lack of character growth or predictable characters and in general the predictability of the genre. You know how it's going to end so the journey is the most important thing and if it isn't believable or the characters aren't likeable, compelling or you have a reason to root for the film fails. You would think with these two things going against Silver Linings that I wouldn't like it, but I did. I truly loved the Silver Linings Playbook.
First off of course the film is predictable. You know how it's most likely going to end from the trailer, but it's the journey getting there is what truly makes this film so good. The film is adapted from novel with the same name and by the author Matthew Quick. The story follows Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) who's in a mental health institution in Baltimore after he loses everything in his life. His wife Nikki cheats on him with a fellow cheater from his school and he nearly beats the man to death. Pat loses his job, home, has a restraining order taken out by his wife, finds out that he is bipolar and ends up in a mental institution. The emotionally unstable Pat is taken out by his mother Dolores Solitano (Jacki Weaver) and brought home to Philadelphia where he'll live with his die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan and bookie Pat Solitano Sr. (Robert De Niro). Arriving home Pat stops taking his pills and is determined to better his life, because he believes that if he does so Nikki will take him back even though his family and friends doubt that will happen. Hopping to get in contact with Nikki he goes to dinner with his friends Ronnie (John Ortiz) and Veronica (Julia Stiles) home where he meets Veronica's sister Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) who recently lost her husband and had a break down as well going into deep depression. Almost instantly the two form a connection though Pat doesn't want to see it. The two scarred and emotionally unstable characters deal with their deep issues, their families as they form a bond helping each other and find a silver lining in their screwed up lives. I think that's all I'll talk about plot wise. As for the two main characters their believable and genuine and I had empathy and understood some of what they are going through. About twelve years ago I was put in a mental hospital for a short period of time and suffered from deep depression resulting in me taking pills. In fact I still suffer from occasional depression that that I take a pills for along with pills for blood pressure and I know what they can do to you and finding a silver lining in my at the time in my screwed up life. It can be anything or anyone like finding a friend or just dancing like Pat and Veronica do in the film as long as you find something that gives you hope. The characters are believable and real chemistry and as the film goes on you become invested in these characters and truly root from them to get together. The story and film even brought some tears to my eyes and I'm guy, and that rarely happens especially in romantic comedies, but this film is moving. Now as for the comedy is more muted and not over the top nor is it forced. It's believable and you actually think the characters would say what they do and it really works as I wouldn't even call it a comedy. I think it has more in common with a romantic drama that has humorous moments.
The small role Chris Tucker has in the film as Danny a friend of Pat's from the mental institution is Tucker's best acting performance to date. Sure he's not a great actor mainly doing comedy, but here he's not comedic side kick and actually shows more of his dramatic acting ability with his toned down comedy. Robert De Niro hasn't been at the top of his game over the last decade with performances in Killer Elite, Hide and Seek, Righteous Kill and Godsend, but he is still a good and capable actor. Is Pat Sr. the best character he's played no or is the character a little lacking yes, but De Niro brings the character to life and the emotional weight as Pat Sr. tries to connect to his son that he hasn't always been there for. John Ortiz does a good job as Ronnie, Pats good friend who tries to help Pat even though he's slowly suffocating in his own life. Obviously the film belongs to Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. I'm not the biggest fan of Bradley Cooper or his acting ability. The only film I truly liked him in was Limitless. He showed off his acting ability which he puts on display in Silver Linings. He brings emotional depth to Pat and his struggles with accepting his Bipolar, deals with family issues and falls in love with Tiffany. For me Jennifer Lawrence is the star. I first noticed Jennifer, and her beauty in her supporting role in X-Men: First Class. I fell in love with her and her acting ability after seeing the Winter's Bone and The Hunger Games showing she could hold a film basically all by herself. She embodies Tiffany and truly brings the character to life showing of her acting range and ability. Jennifer should be nominator for an Oscar for her roles in The Hunger Games and Silver Linings. To be honest I think she should be nominated twice though that is by love and bias for the young actress. The only actress and character who I thought didn't work or was missed cast was Julia Stiles as Veronica. Julia just didn't look like she was emotionally there throughout her scenes in the film. Thank fully she was a sub-supporting actress and had only a limited number of scenes that didn't affect the film.
I sure did love the film Three Kings. It's a great and underrated war film about post war Iraq after the first Gulf War with a really good story and good performances by George Clooney, Ice Cube and Mark Wahlberg. Until I saw Silver Linings Playbook, Three Kings was my favorite David O. Russell film. Though to be honest it's the only film of his I've seen. No I still haven't seen The Fighter and don't know when I will. In Silver Linings he again shows his ability as a writer and director bringing together the moving story and actors to make one of the best films of the year and the best romantic comedy I've seen. I'm not a big fan of Danny Elfman who performed the score with many of his scores sounding the same never bringing live to the films he does scores for, but he does a good job with the different moods and tones of the film helping to bring to the film to life.
I survived a genre I don't really like and film that surrounds itself with a team I hate and came out loving the film. Silver Lining is a nearly perfect film with great chemistry between the lead characters and actors with a believable story, great directing, music and it's only small flaw is with a few of its supporting cast. I know some people may have a different opinion and may not like it as much as I do, but in my opinion Silver Linings Playbook is one of the best films of the year and the best romantic comedy I've ever seen. The film deserves all the Oscar praise it's been getting and I hope it gets at very least nominations for best director, actor and actress. I loved the film and highly recommend it.
This is a drama/comedy about two people who form a bond in unusual circ**stances. The idea of this film is not the best but I still loved this film and highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film was very charming, warm, and just naturally likable and I had a wonderful time watching it. I truly think it is this year's best comedy and Lawrence and Cooper definitely made that happen. The characters in the film are crazy and I still loved them and I could relate to them and that made this film crazy good. I also found this film to be very funny and romantic.
This was a really great comedy and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. At a first glance this film seems to have a very generic plot about two good looking people that have some problems but you know that they will end up together in the end. However, writer/director David O. Russell made this film stand out and i think it is mainly due to a very sharp script, great dialogue and really great performances from Lawrence and Cooper. The film is charming, very emotional and really funny which was a nice surprise. I liked that the film was realistic and relatable and that he characters had unusual problems for a romantic comedy characters. Overall, i was really impressed with this film and I think it is worth seeing in the theaters.

I am a philosophy student taking a Logic II class and I am scared. I have encountered the following question and I am bewildered about where to start or what to do.
Design a Turing machine to compute the following function: $$\text{equality}(x,y) = \begin{cases}1 \; \text{if} \; x=y \\ 0 \; \text{if} \; x \neq y \end{cases}$$ where $x,y \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$. The machine need not be classical (you can write more than just 0 or 1 on the tape).
The scanner starts on the first digit of $x$, which is written in binary from left to right. After the binary expansion of $x$, there is a symbol $B$ representing a blank. After that, $y$ is written in its binary expansion. On either side of the entire expression there are infinitely many blanks.
Please help!

Secrets of Success
Knowledge Is Power!
Sunday, April 01, 2012
It has been a lot of hard work I must say but the rewards are incredible!! I have reached my second goal I had set since returning to Spark. I have lost another 2 pounds and now weigh 178.50 pounds!! I feel so wonderful about this I could jump up and down. In fact after weighing yesterday I did! The other benefits are: I am feeling so much better both in health and in mind. My self esteem is returning, I think since I haven't had any for so long, my blood pressure is much better, my blood sugars are great, my joints don't hurt as much, and just overall I feel pretty good. All of the hard work from exercising to planning ahead nutrition is paying off in so many ways. I just wish there was some way I could encourage everyone to stick with your plan and don't give up. I found giving up is the easy way out. No one likes to really give up on themselves but sometimes the hard work to be healthy when you have been overweight for so long and accepting that you have no control over it is the easy way out. I, too, for so long felt this way. I would over eat most of the day and then be so angry with myself for doing it that I would just eat more for comfort. My old friend, food!! It had always been there for me when things went wrong, it was there for me when things went great! It never entered, or at least I would not let it, my mind that it was really killing me early. I suppose like any other drug you become addicted to food was always the answer for how I was feeling. Well, I have now and will continue the fight with food I suppose for the rest of my life but this is a fight I am determined to win! I want this to be an obituary of sort to my eating past. I want to tell that part of my life for using food to feel good goodbye. I want to bury it but not forget it. If I forget it I might be tempted to return to it. I want my relationship with food to be a healthy one for the rest of my life. So, I am telling my unhealthy eating habits goodbye today! I am not saying that the struggle won't continue but now before it happens I know to use other skills I have learned here to deal with it. To think before I eat, to talk a walk if stress happens and weigh the situation out without reaching for food. To plan my nutrition in advance and if I might need to change something I have learned better choices to make. Power is knowledge I have heard. To me there has never been a truer statement.

Google Redeems Itself With Google Universal Analytics

However, it's now available to the rest of us since last Friday and this post will be about why you should be roaring to implement it. The Universal Analytics platform is simply better than the old Analytics, especially if you're a mobile company, or have a mobile version or app for your site. ... Continue reading

The Glass Menagerie Duty Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Scene.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a big long monologue.
Quote #19
"GO, then! Go to the moon—you selfish dreamer!" (7.320, Amanda).
Amanda views even the small pleasure of going out at night as a selfish endeavor.
Quote #20
"Then all at once my sister touches my shoulder. I turn around and look into her eyes. Oh, Laura, Laura, I tried to leave you behind me, but I am more faithful than I intended to be! I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street, I run into the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I speak to the nearest anything-anything that can blow your candles out! For nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles, Laura-and so, goodbye… (7.321, Tom).
Although he tries to escape his responsibility to his family through geographical distance, Tom never escapes the chains of family obligation.

Series: Will You Be Counted

Numbers 22-25
Balaam is mentioned five other times in the Old Testament. He is mentioned three times in the New Testament, Second Peter 2, verses 15 and 16; Jude verse 11; and Revelation 2, verse 14.
Balaam is one of those strange, mysterious characters in the Bible. Some characters are clear and crystal, easy to see and easy to understand. On the other hand there are characters in the Bible who seem to walk in the shadows. For instance, Saul was a character like that. Samson was like that. Judas is one of those enigmatic characters. Balaam falls into this category.
The Bible tells us that Balaam was a prophet. We are told that in the New Testament in one of the three verses I have referred to. But it becomes very obvious that he was not a true prophet. He was a false prophet. He was a phony. We are going to see a rather amazing story unfold as we consider the life of this man Balaam.
Four entire chapters in the Word of God are devoted to this man named Balaam, and three references are made in the New Testament to him, which says to us that there is an important lesson for us to learn in this man's career. He serves as a warning to the people of God.
Keep in mind that the children of Israel were on their way to the Promised Land. The old generation is dying out. The new generation is getting ready to enter into the land. As they move, they are conquering their enemies. You will find that in chapter 21.
Now in chapter 22 they are going to encounter a different kind of enemy. They are going to find an enemy of the mountain, and they are not even aware that that enemy is there. In fact, there is no evidence that they really know what's going on behind the scenes here.
The Bible says that sometimes Satan comes as a roaring lion to devour, I Peter 5, verse 8. But on other occasions the Bible teaches that Satan comes as a serpent with subtlety and trickery, II Corinthians 11, verse 3. It is very important for the people of God to understand spiritual warfare. Do not let the extremes taught by some in the area of spiritual warfare cause you to miss the fact that the Bible says in Ephesians 6, verse 12, ''For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.'' God' people need to be aware of what's going on.
I. God's Plan.
I want us to look first of all in chapter 22, verses 1 through 35. I want to talk to you first of all about God's plan.
The verses I have read let you know that the children of Israel are on the way, and Balak, who is the king of Moab, hears about them. He has seen what they have done. The Bible says that it scared him to death. He was frightened of them.
There was no need for him to be frightened because we are told in Deuteronomy 2 that the Lord commanded the children of Israel to pass on by them ...

I need to access a serial device in my VirtualBox guest (Windows XP). My host system is ArchLinux 64-bit. I configured the VirtualBox serial port as follows:
- Port: COM1
- I/O Port: 0x3F8
- Port Path:
Now, I am pretty certain it is
/dev/ttyS0 as when I do a
cat or
echo to/from the device, I get nothing. Whereas, with the other paths, I get input/output errors.
I don't believe it is a permissions issue as I belong to the uucp group which is the owning group of the device.
Any ideas what I can try?
