02 Apr Nowacka & Guzauskaite claim victories in Women's Qualification Groups at World Cup #2
It was the Women's semi-finals at the UIPM Modern Pentathlon World Cup #2 Cairo today with two qualification groups deciding the 36 who would make into Friday's Final. Perfect conditions at the Police Academy in the Egyptian capital made for an exciting and intriguing day with one a big upset on the cards.
Continuing her fine early season form, Poland's Oktawia Nowacka dominated the Women's Qualification Group 'A'. The 23-year-old was irrepressible in the first discipline of the day as she claimed 26 victories on the pistes. A second place in the pool, with a time of 2:14.32, then put her in pole for the combined. Calm and composed, she shot well and was never under pressure, having started 39 seconds ahead of the chasing pack. In the end, she had amassed an impressive haul of 1013 points.
Nowacka told us, "I feel good. I am happy. My training camp at altitude has really helped me. I feel strong." When asked about her ambitions in the Final, she was cautious, declaring, "We will see. I am not thinking of the Final. I just want to do good and focus one discipline at a time. But today I am happy."
Second place went to Donata Rimsaite, the experienced Russian ran hard in the combined, recording the fifth fastest time overall. Italy's Gloria Tocchi, who began the run/shoot in second place after taking second place with the epee and recording the ninth fastest time in the pool, finished third. The 2013 Junior World Champion runner-up will now have high hopes of reaching the podium on Friday.
Fastest in the water was the tall Chinese Yufei Bian, who ended the day sixth overall behind Japan's Rena Shimazu and World No.1 Laura Asadauskaite of Lithuania. USA's Margaux Isaksen was sixth overall.
Kenya's Coral Hays, 15, making her debut at this level finished all the way down in 31st position in the Group but was happy to have taken part, "It was a good experience for me. I am happy not to come last. There were nerves before the fencing but I had fun and enjoyed myself." She now travels home to compete at the British Schools' National Biathlon Championships at the London 2012 Olympic Park.
Group 'B' saw 20-year-old Karolina Guzauskaite of Lithuania move up from ninth place on the combined starting grid to win the final event of the day after posting the fastest chrono around the course. Her time of 13:32 saw her finish 13 seconds ahead of second placed Lena Schoneborn from Germany and claim a total of 987 points in the process.
2008 Beijing Olympic gold medallist Schoneborn, who had earlier been victorious on the pistes with 24 bouts won in the fence, crossed the finish line just ahead of her compatriot Janine Kohlmann and Ukraine's Iryna Khokhlova. Claudia Cesarini of Italy was fifth overall with Tamara Vega in sixth and the winner of the swim, Gulnaz Gubaydullina of Russia, ended her day in seventh position.
The big shock came as France's Elodie Clouvel, who began the combined in third, finish all the way down in 23rd to miss out on a place in the Final.
Full results:
Tomorrow's sees the Men begin their Qualification groups.

Hungary Bans New Shopping Malls
Hungary's government approved a proposal to impose a temporary ban on the construction of new shopping centers larger than 300 square meters.
"The goal is for the structure of retail to take a change for the better," government spokesman Andras Giro-Szasz said.
As he explained, 69% of Hungary's retail turnover is controlled by bigger, typically international corporations that represent only 1% of all retail enterprises. As such, the other 99%, the smaller businesses, get only a 31% share.
The idea has been on the table since the summer, much to the chagrin of the property-development industry. Interest groups of property developers, shopping centers and employers released a statement saying the regulation is pointless, and will lead to the loss of further jobs for Hungary's already troubled construction industry.
"A shopping center creates a 1,000 jobs on average while a hypermarket provides work for 400 to 500 people," Gergely Arendas, head of the property developers' roundtable, argued in an earlier reaction to the moratorium concept.
The developers declined to comment on government approval of the mall ban.
Hungary's real-estate sector has been suffering ever since the Lehman Brothers crisis erupted. The latest figures published by the central statistics office or KSH show that the sector's output dropped 12.3% year-to-year in August, while the number of contracts lapsed a whopping 37% from a year earlier.
Developments on the Budapest office market have been seriously reduced, but even so, the above-20% overall vacancy rate persists, as evidenced by the latest, third-quarter report released by the Budapest Research Forum, an association of real-estate agencies.
The profession is divided on whether Budapest needs any more malls — it already has many — and if rural locations where affluence is usually lower are capable of supporting such centers.
Still, Budapest's shopping-center landscape received two new additions this year, another is near completion and there are plans to build at least five more.
Mr. Giro-Szasz said the moratorium will enter into force on Jan. 1, 2012 and will stay in effect until the end of 2014. Exemptions may only be granted by Economy Minister Gyorgy Matolcsy after the given investment's plans are evaluated by a committee.

If you've been playing poker for a few years, without much thought about strategy or how skill is imperative to winning at the game, you probably think poker is all luck. The night's winner is simply who has received the best hands, gotten lucky and hit his straight on the river a few times.
Well, poker is not all about luck, it really is a skill game. If you're still not sure, think of it like this: can you purposely lose at poker? What about craps or roulette? You can most definitely "mean to lose" at poker, but you can't at the other two. Why? Because craps and roulette are 100% luck, skill has no determining factor with who wins and who loses. So they are games of chance. You could walk into any poker room in the world, play has horribly as you can, and you will be guaranteed to lose money every time because poker is a game of skill.
Now that we have that out of the way, it's time you started playing like poker is a game of skill and less like it's only about "having fun and gambling it up." That is, if you want to actually learn how to win at the game.
So the first lesson is the Continuation Bet. When you're playing poker, you can get great starting hands every hand and still not connect with the flop very often. Why is that? Because no matter your starting hand, you will miss the flop around 70% of the time. Sucks, doesn't it? But wait – that also means your opponents also miss the flop about 70% of the time. And it's for this reason we can take advantage of them using the C-Bet.
This is how it works: when you raise pre-flop and you only get one caller, you're going to "continue betting" on most flops. Because your opponent will miss most flops, he will usually have to fold. Voila, you have just won your first pot via skill!
A $2/$5 NL Hold'em game. You've got AhKd in middle position and you raise to $12. The Big Blind comes along for the ride. The flop is Qh 7c 4d. This is a great flop for a C-bet. The Big Blind checks, you lead for $18 and he folds. You've just picked up the pot with what was still arguably the best hand. Easy enough, right?
But it doesn't end there. Say you've raised to $16 with Td7d in the Cut-Off to steal 3 weak limps and the blinds, but one of the limpers calls. The flop is Ad Kc 2d. This is another great flop for you – why? Because what kind of hand does a limper call a raise with? It's not a good Ace, that's for sure. Probably he has a small or mid-pocket pair or maybe he was feeling frisky with some suited connectors. So bet. You will take this pot down the vast majority of the time. If the other player calls, you will NOT 2nd barrel unless there is an obvious flush draw on board and your opponent is a known flush chaser. But if you have an Ace-high hand, you might be willing to just check it down, as the likelihood you have the best hand is still decent. But in most cases, if your C-Bet gets called, you are done with the hand unless you happen to hit something on the turn or river.
As you can see, you have to be a decent reader of hands, position and situations in order to do this successfully. But the more you do it, the more you will begin to recognize when it's a good time to C-Bet and when it's a bad time. A bad time would be when you raise and a player behind you or in the blinds calls, and the flop is KQ9 or J98 or any kind of coordinated board that could've hit a lot of the caller's pre-flop range.
Another advantage to being a consistent – but careful - C-Bettor, is that you'll start getting looked up on a lot of your good hands. Players will start to feel suspicious of you and begin to call flop and turn bets when they shouldn't be. This plays right into your wheelhouse, because you will have a good hand some of the time, of course.
A winning poker player has got to win hands without showing down the actual winner. You cannot count on "running good" all the time. So you have to start picking up those pots that others don't want. That means taking stabs at those orphan pots no one else seems to want. And that means using the Continuation Bet as a useful weapon in your poker arsenal.

20mo. Daughter with MDS
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Hello my name is Stacey and we just found out a week ago that our daughter has MDS. We took her in for her 18month check up and brought up to her pediatrician that she had these red spots on her back and belly that were not going away, so she recommended a blood test to check her platelet counts. Well they came back a little low but nothing dangerous so he referred us to a hematologist and Phoenix Children's Hospital. We did more tests and decided to just keep an eye on it thinking it was ITP and she would just recover on her own. Well when we went in for the 3rd time and her numbers dropped along with her neutrophils the Dr. decided it was time to do the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. At first all the results came back normal and the doc said to come back in 2-3 weeks and we would do more blood tests then and she would call back when all of the final results came in. Then we got the call that Dr. Hingorani wanted us to come in the next morning to go over all the results and I knew something was not right but didn't think it would be this severe. So needless to say we went in the next morning and got the horrific news. So here we are now preparing for the battle of our lives and going to let anything stand in our way!!!

I am so very sorry to hear this about your baby daughter. MDS in young people is fairly rare, Most people are over 60 when diagnosed.
Did they give you a category? MDS is an umbrella for many variations of the disease.
You sound like a fighter. My thoughts & prayers are with you, & please keep us posted. I post on "New Member," which is a discussion I started a couple years ago. Sharon

New England Patriots fullback James Develin is establishing himself as an important player in the Patriots offense because of his versatility. His ability to play both fullback and tight end has the Brown University alum on the inside track to make the team. It is also an aspect of his game that has drawn praise from Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio. On Sunday, Caserio applauded Develin's work ethic and his ability to play two separate positions.
The second-year fullback may make the team as the third tight end. His ability to line up in the backfield and block as well as his ability to play at the tight end position as both a blocker and someone who can catch the ball has heightened his value with the team. It is also his work ethic that has gained him major points with the organization.
Caserio told reporters, "James is very smart, works very, very hard. He had a great offseason. As a player, from Day 1 that he entered the program to where he is now, he's really improved. He's put in a lot of time. It's a credit to him. He's smart and versatile, so he gives you a little bit of flexibility because he can do a number of different things – he can block with force in the running game, he can put his hand down on the line of scrimmage and block with force on the line of scrimmage. He's earned all his opportunities with his performance and his work ethic."
Patriots' fans really got a glimpse of Develin's force during a game against the Houston Texans. The full back powered his way into the end zone, breaking many tackles on an impressive one-yard run. He also showed what he is capable of as a receiving tight end, catching a 31-yard pass in a game against the Cleveland Browns. Although Develin seems to have found a home in New England, he still recognizes that he has to continue to work hard because nothing is guaranteed.
After college, Develin played with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League and then made the practice squad with the Bengals before being signed and released twice by the Patriots. His path has been trying, but it has also made him recognize and appreciate the results of hard work, which is a reason he refuses to get comfortable.
"It's never good to be comfortable in football," Develin said. "You're always trying to learn. You're always just trying to get better each and every day, work hard, work on your weaknesses, work on your strengths. Comfort is not something I ever try to think about. I'm just trying to always learn, get better, add some more value to my game and just become the best player and help this team."

The range of the Eastern Box Turtle covers much of the eastern and central United States, extending from Kansas to Texas eastward to the Atlantic coast, with a northern extension into Michigan. Box turtles may be found throughout Indiana, but tend to be more common in the southern half of the state. Eastern Box Turtle populations are declining throughout much of their range. Habitat loss, road mortality, and collection by humans are likely some of the leading factors in box turtle declines. Box turtles are protected in Indiana and may not be collected from the wild.
The Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina) is a small to medium sized turtle with a domed, and often-colorful shell. The top of the turtle's shell (carapace) is variable in color and pattern but is typically marked with yellow to orange streaks and blotches that often form a "palmate" pattern on a dark background. The bottom of the turtle's shell (plastron) can be yellow, brown or black, or a combination thereof. The rest of the turtle's body may also have colorful markings. The plastron has a distinct hinge that allows the turtle to "box" itself in for protection against predators.
The Eastern Box Turtle is listed as a species of special concern in Indiana. Donate to the Indiana Nongame Fund.
Forest stands are the preferred habitat of the Eastern Box Turtle, although they may occasionally be found wandering about in grasslands and wet situations.
The diet of Eastern Box Turtles is variable and may include fruits, berries, worms, slugs, insects, mushrooms and carrion.
In Indiana, mating has been observed in late April and May, but may take place throughout the summer and into the fall. Female turtles normally deposit 1-7 eggs in an excavated nest before covering them with dirt. The eggs hatch 3-4 months later. Hatchling turtles usually measure about one inch in shell length.
Eastern Box Turtles are long-lived creatures and have been documented to exceed sixty years of age. Very old specimens may reach ages of over one hundred.
The Eastern Box Turtle is almost entirely terrestrial, spending the majority of its life on land. Box turtles tend to be most active during morning hours before the heat of the day sets in, and again in the evening when the weather cools down. However, this behavior can be affected by weather as they may also be observed during the cooler temperatures following a summer rain. During hot and dry weather, these turtles will occasionally seek out the shallows of pools, streams or lakes. When threatened or startled, box turtles may quickly withdraw their head, limbs and tail into their shell and "box up", pulling the bottom of their shell up against the top. The onset of colder temperatures in October and November cause box turtles to seek shelter in shallow burrows where they will spend the majority of the coming months in winter dormancy. Spring emergence typically occurs during March and April.
Predators of this turtle include: raccoons, skunks, coyotes, dogs, ants, crows, snakes and hogs. Eggs are especially vulnerable to predation, along with young turtles whose unhardened shells afford little protection.
One of the greatest factors affecting the decline in Eastern Box Turtles is human related changes in the landscape. The conversion of forest to agricultural land along with the expansion of housing developments into areas where suitable habitat once existed has no doubt affected many turtle populations. Additional factors that are potentially damaging to box turtle populations include road mortality and collection by humans.
Recent initiatives have led to the protection of the Eastern Box Turtle in Indiana. Beginning Oct. 23, 2004, the collection of Eastern Box Turtles from the wild is prohibited. A special permit is now required to care for captive specimens in the state. Conservation initiatives in addition to habitat preservation will help protect this unique turtle from further declines.

With NHL training camps opening next month, former Oilers winger
Geoff Sanderson is living in St.
Albert but residing in a state of limbo.
He still wants to play, but nobody has offered him a contract. In a sense, he is like Jeff O'Neill and Jeff Friesen last summer -- veteran NHLers who couldn't find work and were boxed out as the NHL goes younger and cheaper with the salary cap.
"I'm knocking on doors, but these are the dog days (NHL GMs are usually on holidays right now)," said Sanderson's agent Steve Bartlett, who also acts for ex-Oilers centre Marty Reasoner, who last month signed a one-year contract in Atlanta.
Sanderson's lack of production (13 points in 41 games), compounded by back problems, is likely working against him.
If you think it's been a long off-season for the Oilers, you're bang-on.
Between their last league game (April 3) and their first one this season (Oct. 12 here against Colorado), they will have had 192 days between games. That's the longest stretch of any of the 30 teams. Pittsburgh has the shortest time off, only 122 days between their last league game (June 4 in the Stanley Cup final) and their season-opener against Ottawa in Stockholm Oct. 4.
The Oilers will be on Hockey Night in Canada 12 times this season, eight at Rexall Place on Saturdays, and TSN 10 times, including a grudge match in Anaheim Oct. 15, and a New Year's Eve game in Calgary with the Flames.
Ex-Oiler assistant coach Rob Daum, now a pro scout with the club, did make some recent enquiries about the Dynamo Minsk coaching job but that position has gone to former Toronto Marlies assistant coach Jim Hughes.
Former Oilers SportsNet colour commentator Ray Ferraro is going to work for TSN, replacing Glen Healy, who took a paying position with the NHL Players Association. Two possible candidates to replace Ferraro are former Penguin winger Rob Brown, who has done some good Oiler pay-per-view work, and Rod Phillips' longtime radio sidekick, Morley Scott.
Here's another longshot name to consider: onetime Oiler coach and goalie Ron Low, who was dumped by the Senators.
ON THE BENCH -- Longtime Oiler PR man Bill Tuele, who retired to Nanaimo a few years back, just had surgery to insert a heart pacemaker. ... Charlie Huddy's boy, Ryan, who had 60 points playing in Hanover, in Germany, last year, has been invited to the Camrose rookie camp ... Tough winger Guillaume Lefebvre, who had cups of coffee in Philly and Pittsburgh, is on the main training camp roster on a tryout.

College Hockey:Seen and heard around the East Regional…
With all four teams practicing Thursday at the East Regional, there were plenty of quotable moments.
- Minnesota-Duluth head coach Scott Sandelin kicked off his press conference on Thursday by introducing leading scorer Jack Connolly as Zac Brown from the Zac Brown Band. I'll admit that I had to do a Google image search for Zac Brown, but after looking at the photo, I see Sandelin's point. Of course, Connolly is sporting a playoff beard that would make any NHLer jealous.
- Sandelin's Bulldogs may not have felt very welcome when they arrived at their hotel, the Courtyard Marriott in nearby Shelton, Conn. When they arrived at breakfast Thursday morning, the sign outside of the room read: "University of Minnesota." Said Sandelin, "They're going to change that in a hurry."
- When asked what concerns him about Minnesota-Duluth, Union coach Nate Leaman quickly quipped, "The weather," saying he wouldn't want to live there. He quickly recanted. "I didn't mean that. Hopefully that doesn't go into print in the Duluth paper. I've never been to Duluth, so I can't say that."
- Leaman referenced the 2010 ECAC tournament when talking about how he's prepared his team for this weekend's NCAA tournament, noting that he didn't prepare his team for all the media attention and hype a year ago. This time around Leaman, who was part of the Maine coaching staff in 1999 that won the national title, imparted as much knowledge as he could on his team which is making its first NCAA tournament appearance.
- The ever-quotable Air Force coach Frank Serratore didn't disappoint when he took the podium. When asked about having beaten Yale earlier this season in Colorado Spring, Serratore joked, "Because we beat them, I think they should have to beat us twice to be able to move on. Tomorrow, if they win we'll go down to the Yale Whale and have the rubber game."
- Serratore talked about how playing in front of a hostile environment for last week's Atlantic Hockey title (Air Force beat RIT in Rochester in the finals) will prepare his team to face Yale less than an hour from their campus on Friday: "We played that championship game against RIT and there was like 4,500 people in there. It was all orange in there. It looked like a pumpkin convention."
- This is Air Force and Serratore's fourth trip to the NCAA Regional but its first since losing to Vermont in double overtime in the regional final in Bridgeport. Some may remember that the winning goal was scored on a puck that went through the net and some 20 minutes later – after a whistle finally halted play and the officials reviewed the goal on video – the goal was awarded. Remembering back to that game, Serratore quipped, "It's not often technology works against the Air Force but it did that night."
- Serratore said that in the first meeting between Yale and Air Force this season, a 4-3 win for the Falcons in which they scored the final four goals of the game, that he believed the altitude in Colorado played a factor in Yale becoming fatigued late in the game. When Yale coach Keith Allain was asked about that, he dodged the question with rare humor: "I can't translate for coach Serratore. He talks real fast."
- Many wanted to ask Allain about the possibility of his team reaching the Frozen Four for the first time in more than half a century. Asked if he realized what was at stake this weekend, Allain wanted nothing to do with referencing a Frozen Four berth. "What's at stake is if you don't win tomorrow, you don't play anymore," said Allain.

Fagan Crowned NCAA Statistical Champion For Strikeouts Per Nine Innings
PRINCETON, N.J. – Capping off a banner season, former Tiger Michael Fagan of the Princeton University baseball team has been crowned the NCAA statistical champion for strikeouts per nine innings.
With 11.95 strikeouts per nine innings, Fagan edged out Evansville's Kyle Freeland (11.56) for the nation's top honor. TCU's Brandon Finnegan had the third-highest strikeout rate in Division I (11.41), with UNC's Reilly Hovis (11.39) and Western Carolina's T.J. Fussell (11.33) rounding out the top five.
A first-team All-Ivy selection, Fagan tossed 58.0 innings in 2014, posting a 4-2 record in nine starts. Leading the conference in strikeouts (77), he issued just 18 walks while holding opposing hitters to a paltry .213 batting average. Going the distance in three outings, the lefty surrendered just 15 earned runs en route to a 2.33 ERA in his final season in Orange & Black.
Tallying double-digit strikeouts in four of his appearances, Fagan fanned 10 batters while allowing three runs in six innings against Michigan on Mar. 7. After striking out eight in a 1-0 complete game win at Navy on Mar. 22, he sat down 11 hitters in a seven-inning complete game victory over Brown on Apr. 5.
Combining for 17 strikeouts in consecutive starts against Columbia (Apr. 12) and Harvard (Apr. 16), Fagan fanned 11 in a 4-2 triumph over Penn on Apr. 20. In his final collegiate start, the senior struck out 11 in nine innings of work against Cornell on Apr. 27.
In last month's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft Fagan was selected in the ninth round (282nd overall) by the Oakland Athletics. Joining former Tigers Zak Hermans (2013) and Matt Bowman (2012), he became the third Princeton pitcher in as many seasons to be drafted.
Since 1965, 46 Princeton baseball players have been chosen, including 21 since 2000. Fagan was also selected out of high school in the 2010 draft by his hometown San Diego Padres (45th round -1354th overall), but did not sign. Picked in 1986, Drew Stratton was the only other Tiger ever drafted by the Athletics.

Beating the Bullets in Chicago Liveshots
Beating the Bullets in Chicago
May 7, 2010 - 2:45 PM | by: Michael Tobin
The code of the mean streets on Chicagos West and South sides dictates that disputes quickly escalate to gun battles. With rage-filled, sloppy gun handling and little thought about unintended targets, the gun battles produce new victims. That produces new disputes, calls for revenge and causes violence to spread like a virus. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says murder has been the leading cause of death among African American Men between the ages of 15 and 34 for a quarter of a century.
The laws police are tasked with enforcing deal with crimes after they happen. For prevention they try things like gun buy backs. In Chicago a total of 1908 weapons were turned over to police last year. Critics say there is no evidence that gun buybacks work. Jodi Weis the Superintendent of Chicagos Police force told me he is very well aware that the young gang member, hell bent on revenge, is not the one who turns over his weapon for a $50 dollar gift card. Its hard to measure prevention, says Weiss. But if we can get weapons taken out of a house, at least they cant be stolen from that house, a child cannot get his hands on that gun.
Although understaffed, Superintendent Weis is focusing his police force in the hot spots of gang violence. Violence occurs in less than nine percent of city blocks. Less than nine percent of the real estate in Chicago contains all the homicides and shootings in 2009. To Pinpoint where crime is occurring. We can saturate those smaller areas and put more officers in those areas.
That still leaves Police with two major obstacles: acting before a law has been broken and breaking the code of silence that prevents people in the violent neighborhoods from telling police of the shooting plots that are brewing.
This is where police are getting help on the street from the people of the street. Many of them were convicted and served time for violent crimes. They work for an organization boasting success in Americas cities; Cease Fire.
Jamie a moniker she asked to be called, is one of the people dispatched to by Cease Fire called Violence Interrupters. With tattoos showing, high heels, sparkling Jewelry and her nails painted school bus yellow she explained to me the advantage of being from the very streets on which she is trying to prevent violence. We have intimate knowledge of our neighborhood. We have intimate knowledge of those we deal with. Thats why we are so successful. She stresses however that violence interrupters are not an extension of the Police. They dont enforce laws. They dont report what they know to the investigators. Marnell Brown, a violence interrupter who has been to prison 8 times, tells me that is how they break the code of silence so respected in the violent areas. They are afraid to talk to the Police, Says Brown. Some are angry at CPD. Some are afraid something bad might happen to them. But they will talk to us.
Thats how they learn when a new revenge plot has been hatched. They head for the individuals with only the goal of mediating a peaceful resolution. Jamie and another violence interrupter, Ameena Matthews, explained to me the simple mediation technique. They just need to create a solution that allows people on either side of the dispute to back down without looking weak. Our goal as women violence interrupters is to get inside the heads of the guys so they wont shoot first, says Matthews. Cease Fire claims to have talked down over one hundred revenge shootings in the past year. That, Jamie says, is how you can measure prevention. People have stayed out of trouble and theyre not shooting back and fourth.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Developer Orange Lake Resorts, which operates seven Holiday Inn Club Vacations® resort destinations, has taken steps to minimize its carbon footprint by introducing a new $1.4 million Milnor tunnel system that will save 15 million gallons of water per year.
For nearly 30 years, Orange Lake Resorts operated the laundry facility for its flagship Orlando resort using three 600-pound washer extractors and six 200-pound dryers. The facility processed 1,800 pounds per hour (using 3 gallons of water per pound), completing a day's work of 28,800 pounds over two shifts.
While Milnor's PulseFlow Technology—which employs enhanced, intermittent counterflow and RecircONE® pump arrangement that continuously circulates water in the first module—was gaining momentum and praise, Orange Lake's laundry and facilities leadership teams decided that it was time to make a change.
"Orange Lake has an eye on the staff's overall environment and on improvements in efficiencies and expenditures," says Bill Bell of Steiner-Atlantic, Milnor's local distributor for the Orlando area, "so we were thrilled that they committed to the corporate investment of introducing this modern equipment from the best in the industry."
Orange Lake's new equipment consists of a PulseFlow CBW® washer (150-pound capacity per module), a 40-bar single-stage press and four pass-through dryers. The equipment is capable of processing 4,000 pounds of laundry per hour, using only 0.3-0.4 gallons of fresh water per pound, with a day's work of 30,000 pounds finishing in just one shift.
Lower utility and water consumption isn't the only benefit associated with the new tunnel system. The CBW's four-compartment loading conveyor improves labor conditions, Milnor says, because the soiled goods require less handling by staff.
Once sorted, the goods are loaded on the conveyor to be discharged in the tunnel's load chute. After the wash, goods are automatically discharged to the press, which removes excess moisture. After extraction, an automatic shuttle transports each "cake" to a waiting dryer.
In the days before there was a tunnel, Orange Lake staff would have to sort by goods type, manually load soiled goods in the washers, then manually unload and transport the now-heavier damp goods to the dryers/flatwork aisle.
Aside from the tunnel's ergonomic benefits over large open-pocket washers, its process times are shorter and the quality of linens and towels is enhanced, extending linen life. Additionally, Orange Lake has doubled its hourly production, eliminating the need for a costly second shift.
The Orlando resort, with 2,478 villas and an average of 511,853 annual guests, processes 8 million pounds of laundry per year. Its new equipment enables the company to grow its laundry operation and process up to approximately 10.5 million pounds per year.

Already on the disabled list, Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez got quite the scare on Tuesday. During exploratory surgery in Cleveland, Dr. Thomas Graham found, and subsequently removed, a tumor in CarGo's left index finger. They are hoping that the tumor is benign, but will not know for sure until after they get the biopsy results.
"They are common," said Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger. "These little benign tumors, which we hope it is, are probably the second-most-common finding in a finger besides cysts."
After playing through the pain for awhile, Gonzalez was placed on the 15-day DL on June 4 with finger swelling. Being hampered by injury may explain some of CarGo's struggles this season, where he is batting a career-low .255.
While the surgery was more invasive than was originally anticipated, it is not expected to change his timetable to return.
"Typically it'll take a couple weeks just for the tissue to heal," said Dugger. "And then he can get back his strength and start swinging."
The injury bug has bitten the Rockies hard this season. Joining Gonzalez on the DL are: Brett Anderson (P), Nolan Arenado (3B), Eddie Butler (P), Tyler Chatwood (P), Michael Cuddyer (RF), Boone Logan (P) and Jordan Lyles (P).
"It's something as a professional team we've got to push through, push forward," said Cuddyer.
Cuddyer was placed on the DL Wednesday (retroactive to June 6), after fracturing a bone in his left shoulder socket. The injury is not expected to require surgery.

I've a business laptop with some restrictions from IT guys I guess. The thing is, that I'm not able to set my walpaper. I can select Properties on the desktop, then go to Desktop Tab and Browse for wallpapers, but when I select one, it doesn't appear in Background list. What are possible ways to set the wallpaper on Windows XP?
From your browser, you can right-click an image and choose 'set as background.'
This is properly done via a Group Policy applied by IT, and a pretty normal standard for most corporate environments. You can try and override the policy but as soon as your machine reboots and you log onto the network it will re-apply the above.
If you can get to the Local Group Policy editor you can use this article to enable it again.
However, if IT does not allow it please be aware that there could be consequences if you do change it.
I wonder what will happen if you
This is assuming you have write permissions at that location.
You could ask the IT folks to enable that for you via their Policy Management.
You can load the image up in MS-Paint, then go File->Set As Desktop Background. (pretty sure that that is the correct menu item - haven't used it for a while, so not 100%)
This usually works (haven't yet seen it disabled), but it obviously only works on images that Paint supports - i.e. no tga, etc.
if it is branded wallpaper means why don't you get approval from your higher authority to deploy that wallpaper ?

Whether you're a construction worker or a DYI enthusiast, the chainsaw is a mainstay of anybody looking to get rid of problematic wood. Stihl is one of the most recognizable names in the power tools industry, boasting top of the line products and affordable solutions to basic users. If you are looking for a chainsaw that will give you the most power without draining your bank account the MS 201 C-E could be the saw for you. Here is a basic review of the features for the Stihl MS 201 C-E chainsaw.
The MS 201 C-E has one of the most advanced emissions controls system on the market. Because of this, the MS 201 C-E also has a lower fuel consumption rating. This delivers long running times while cutting down on the amount of emissions being dispersed into the air.
Air Filtration
Air filtration is a big concern with chainsaws. When the air is not properly mixed with the fuel, the chainsaw can stall. This is not a problem with the MS 201 C-E. In fact, this latest design allows for about thirty percent longer operating times between the filter maintenance when compared to other models. This is a huge advantage because you will not have to change the air filter as often.
The MS 201 C-E is not intended for major construction jobs. This model is best used for cleaning up a yard or taking down problematic trees around your home. With that being said, the chainsaw is an excellent tool for getting the work done. The innovative design and reliability alone are worth the investment. Because of the emissions and the air filtration, you do not have to worry about the saw clamming up on you. This makes cutting firewood a breeze.
Anyone who has used a chainsaw before is familiar with vibration. Vibration can be one of the most annoying aspects of a chainsaw. Stihl has improved its design of the saw and offered the MS 201 C-E with low vibration. The saw has improved ergonomics and allows users to cut through the toughest woods with ease.
Starting the MS 201 C-E is fairly easy. The saw has a Master Control Lever that gives all operators the convenience control to start stop the saw. This lever is an improvement over previous models that were hard to start and took too long to power down.
The Stihl MS 201 C-E is a great little chainsaw with universal use. When you are facing a fallen tree or a dead tree in your yard, the last thing you want to do is use a product that is not proven. Stihl is a staple of the chainsaw industry and their newest model has surpassed previous designs. The air filtration and the emissions levels are on par with a consumer who is looking for a cost effective means to get their work done. The performance is superior for the class in which the MS 201 C-E is sold and the startup features are excellent. All in all, this is a very good chainsaw that offers performance and reliability when needed.

Both the Discovery Channel and Red Jacket Firearms have officially diassociated themselves with gunsmith Will Hayden following his arrest August 11th and again onAugust 26, on charges of repeatedly molesting and raping a child. According to police in East Baton Rouge, LA Louisiana Hayden began having sex with the (then) 11-year old child in 2013, with the latest rape occurring this past July. The girl told police that Hayden robbed her of her virginity and continues to force her to have sex with him "almost every day after that." In addition, the affidavit filed by the child and her guardian stated that Hayden further "coerced her to keep silent by threatening her with physical abuse."
"Don't tell them nothing because I'm all you've got," the affidavit says the 49-year-old Hayden told his victim."
A native of Baton Rouge, William "Will" Michale Hayden was born July 24, 1965, and reportedly became fascinated with guns at an early age, and regularly read about weapons and warfare, before building his own firearms at the age of 17. The following year he joined the US Marine Corp., achieving the rank of Sergeant during his 6-year stint.
After being discharged, Will Hayden opened his own construction and refrigeration business, continuing to work with guns on the side, eventually selling his main business in 1999 to found Red Jacket Firearms. He later achieved national fame with the reality show "Sons of Guns" which focused on the specialized guns he makes. Hayden's daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Kris Ford also appeared on the program. The show, which has been aired on the Discovery Channel since 2011 has been cancelled due to his arrest.

How to increase Breastmilk production
Breastmilk production?
New moms, many times have this dilemma as to how to increase breastmilk production in a safe natural way. I may have some answers to this age old question. Any substance or an agent that increases milk supply is called a Galactagogue. Mother's milk has been compared with Nectar in Ayurveda. Mother's milk plays an important role in maintaining the baby's health as it helps to improve the immunity of the baby.
Read more on herbal supplements.
In this article I will be discussing the concept of increasing breastmilk via natural and home remedies. In most cases these ideas should help, but in some extreme cases it is important to take help of a health care professional
How to increase breastmilk production using remedies-
Cumin seed helps to stimulate milk quantity and to improve digestion. Make this part of your daily diet.
Eat rice along with Black Sesame seeds. It is a rich source of calcium and is useful to increase breastmilk.
Asparagus racemosus is a powerful rejuvenator. It acts as a Galactagogue, tonic and demulcent. Here is a study that states the crude alcoholic extract of the Shatavari roots increased the weight of mammary glands in post partum and estrogen primed group.
Blessed thistle a plant extract helps to stimulate milk production, especially in combination with Red Raspberry leaves. Raspberry leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals and they help the uterus to recover and regain the size and shape quickly.
Trying to relax is very important. A hectic life style makes a person tired, and this may affect the secretion of milk.
Drink 10 to 12 glass of water daily. If a body is in dehydrated condition, then it will affect the Breast milk secretions.
Oatmeal is advisable. Oats are the great source of Iron, calcium and fiber.
Avoid the food which cannot be digested easily.
Garlic and Ginger should definitely help. But if the woman has lost a lot of blood during delivery, then avoid using ginger. Also, do not combine Garlic with anticoagulants, as it has blood thinning properties.
Take Spirulina with Indian gooseberry powder and black pepper powder.
B complex and Vitamin C taken by nursing women, helps to increase breastmilk.
Holy Basil leaves are also useful to increase breast milk. Hence add it in soups or take it with honey. It is a rich source of Vitamin K.
Fenugreek is helpful in breastmilk production. Add it to your daily diet.
Products like Butter, Oil are the fatty products and are necessary to increase Breastmilk.
Gotu kola is a useful herb for increased milk production. This herb promotes lactation after childbirth. Ref: Sharma PV.
Carrot seeds are known to improve breastmilk supply, so include it in your daily meal, in salads or in soups.
I hope the above information that I provided is useful for all people that are trying to address this condition.

Utah Jazz notebook: Mehmet Okur says 'so far so good' on rehab
Michael Brandy, Deseret News
LEHI — Mehmet Okur can't do much about his basketball game right now.
The Utah Jazz center, however, was excited to work on his golf game Saturday afternoon at Deron Williams' charity tournament.
That might come as a surprise to some, considering he had surgery to repair his ruptured left Achilles tendon in April.
"Actually," Okur said when asked about golfing in his condition, "it's good for me."
Though he's been cleared to golf — and reap the benefits of walking the fairways — the injured center said he's "hoping" to be ready to join the Utah Jazz on the court in the preseason.
Okur even believes it's possible to play by the beginning of the NBA's regular season, which would be about six months after he ruptured the tendon in Denver. That would fit in the recovery time frame his doctor told him after his playoff-ending procedure.
"Like, so far so good," Okur said of his rehab. "Hopefully I'm going to be able to be back early and maybe catch up (in) the preseason games a little bit and go from there."
Okur still walks with a slight limp on his left side — something that the walking and golfing should help, he claims.
But the good news, he added with a smile, is that he no longer has to wear a walking boot on his right foot, something that was required for a while after he underwent surgery to repair the Achilles that ruptured during Game 1 of the Jazz's first-round playoff series against Denver. The tendon doesn't hurt anymore, either.
"Doing good," he said. "I'm a lot better."
Normally one to leave for his homeland of Turkey in the offseason, the surgery forced Okur to stay in Utah this summer. Along with golfing — a sport he played multiple times just last week — Okur has five rehab sessions a week. He said doing pool exercises and lifting weights has helped him get "a lot stronger."
Okur anticipates being able to start jogging, shooting and doing other things on the court in a month.
But he really has his eye on being fully healed for the season-opener.
"I'm hoping," Okur added. "I don't know what to say about my injury because I've never had such a long-time injury like that in my career."
WAIT AND SEE: Williams doesn't know too much about the Jazz's lottery-pick, but the All-Star point guard was impressed with what he saw Butler small forward Gordon Hayward do at the Orlando Pro Summer League.
"He seems like a real smart player. He has a lot of tools, can do a lot of things," Williams said of the Jazz's No. 9 overall draft selection. "I think he'll be pretty solid in our offense because of how smart he is and how he comes off screens. He's got a lot of size."
Williams, who watched the Jazz games on TV, isn't sure how soon Hayward will be able to contribute.
"There's no way to tell until he gets into training camp," Williams said. "Summer league's different."
UP FOR GRABS?: The Jazz reportedly have contacted Miami free agent Udonis Haslem, but it appears the Heat will be able to retain their backup power forward after working out a sign-and-trade deal for LeBron James with Cleveland.
A source told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that the move likely ensures that Miami will re-sign Haslem.
Other big men available through trades, according to ESPN's Chad Ford, include: Al Jefferson, Tyson Chandler, Elton Brand, Emeka Okafor and Marcin Gortat, with the latter two perhaps being most intriguing to the Jazz.
Ford's list of guards and swingmen on the block: Rip Hamilton, T.J. Ford, Hedo Turkoglu, Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Jose Calderon.

I am a purist. For those of you who are Star Wars fans, you know what I mean. For those of you who aren't fans, you're probably not reading this post, so it doesn't matter if I explain what I mean. Like many Star Wars fans, I am always looking for some heady paraphernalia for decorative purposes or wear. Unfortunately for those of us who love Sci-Fi, rocking such things in public is… frowned upon, or to put it more bluntly, seen as the epitome of "uncool."
But the days of public humiliation for the love of Star Wars are coming to an end thanks to the Black Milk Clothing company, who have just launched their Star Wars line! From leggings to bathing suits, Black Milk has turned the love Star Wars into a truly portable form. Watch their promotional video below to see for yourself (dibs on the R2D2 bathing suit…)!!

Next: 12. Using Internet Services Up: rute Previous: 10. Mail   Contents
11. User Accounts and User Ownerships
UNIX intrinsically supports multiple users. Each user has a personal home directory /home/<username> in which the user's files are stored, hidden from other users.
So far you may have been using the machine as the root user, who is the system administrator and has complete access to every file on the system. The root is also called the superuser. The home directory of the root user is /root. Note that there is an ambiguity here: the root directory is the topmost directory, known as the / directory. The root user's home directory is /root and is called the home directory of root.
Other than the superuser, every other user has limited access to files and directories. Always use your machine as a normal user. Log in as root only to do system administration. This practice will save you from the destructive power that the root user has. In this chapter we show how to manually and automatically create new users.
Users are also divided into sets, called groups. A user can belong to several groups and there can be as many groups on the system as you like. Each group is defined by a list of users that are part of that set. In addition, each user may have a group of the same name (as the user's login name), to which only that user belongs.
11.1 File Ownerships
Each file on a system is owned by a particular user and also owned by a particular group. When you run ls -al, you can see the user that owns the file in the third column and the group that owns the file in the fourth column (these will often be identical, indicating that the file's group is a group to which only the user belongs). To change the ownership of the file, simply use the chown, change ownerships, command as follows.
11.2 The Password File /etc/passwd
The only place in the whole system where a user name is registered is in this file. [Exceptions to this rule are several distributed authentication schemes and the Samba package, but you needn't worry about these for now.] Once a user is added to this file, that user is said to exist on the system. If you thought that user accounts were stored in some unreachable dark corner, then this should dispel that idea. This is also known as the password file to administrators. View this file with less:
Above is an extract of my own password file. Each user is stored on a separate line. Many of these are not human login accounts but are used by other programs.
Each line contains seven fields separated by colons. The account for jack looks like this:
11.3 Shadow Password File: /etc/shadow
The problem with traditional passwd files is that they had to be world readable [Everyone on the system can read the file.] in order for programs to extract information, such as the user's full name, about the user. This means that everyone can see the encrypted password in the second field. Anyone can copy any other user's password field and then try billions of different passwords to see if they match. If you have a hundred users on the system, there are bound to be several that chose passwords that matched some word in the dictionary. The so-called dictionary attack will simply try all 80,000 common English words until a match is found. If you think you are clever to add a number in front of an easy-to-guess dictionary word, password cracking algorithms know about these as well. [And about every other trick you can think of.] To solve this problem the shadow password file was invented. The shadow password file is used only for authentication [Verifying that the user is the genuine owner of the account.]and is not world readable--there is no information in the shadow password file that a common program will ever need--no regular user has permission to see the encrypted password field. The fields are colon separated just like the passwd file.
Here is an example line from a /etc/shadow file:
11.4 The groups Command and /etc/group
On a UNIX system you may want to give a number of users the same access rights. For instance, you may have five users that should be allowed to access some privileged file and another ten users that are allowed to run a certain program. You can group these users into, for example, two groups previl and wproc and then make the relevant file and directories owned by that group with, say,
Permissions [Explained later.] dictate the kind of access, but for the meantime, the file/directory must at least be owned by that group.
The /etc/group file is also colon separated. A line might look like this:
You can obviously study the group file to find out which groups a user belongs to, [That is, not ``which users does a group consist of?'' which is easy to see at a glance.] but when there are a lot of groups, it can be tedious to scan through the entire file. The groups command prints out this information.
11.5 Manually Creating a User Account
The following steps are required to create a user account:
11.6 Automatically Creating a User Account: useradd and groupadd
The above process is tedious. The commands that perform all these updates automatically are useradd, userdel, and usermod. The man pages explain the use of these commands in detail. Note that different flavors of UNIX have different commands to do this. Some may even have graphical programs or web interfaces to assist in creating users.
In addition, the commands groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod do the same with respect to groups.
11.7 User Logins
It is possible to switch from one user to another, as well as view your login status and the status of other users. Logging in also follows a silent procedure which is important to understand.
11.7.1 The login command
A user most often gains access to the system through the login program. This program looks up the UID and GID from the passwd and group file and authenticates the user.
The following is quoted from the login man page, and explains this procedure in detail:
login is used when signing onto a system. It can also be used to switch from one user to another at any time (most modern shells have support for this feature built into them, however).
If an argument is not given, login prompts for the username.
If the user is not root, and if /etc/nologin exists, the contents of this file are printed to the screen, and the login is terminated. This is typically used to prevent logins when the system is being taken down.
If special access restrictions are specified for the user in /etc/usertty, these must be met, or the login attempt will be denied and a syslog [System error log program-- syslog writes all system messages to the file /var/log/messages.] message will be generated. See the section on "Special Access Restrictions."
If the user is root, then the login must be occuring on a tty listed in /etc/securetty. [If this file is not present, then root logins will be allowed from anywhere. It is worth deleting this file if your machine is protected by a firewall and you would like to easily login from another machine on your LAN. If /etc/securetty is present, then logins are only allowed from the terminals it lists.] Failures will be logged with the syslog facility.
After these conditions have been checked, the password will be requested and checked (if a password is required for this username). Ten attempts are allowed before login dies, but after the first three, the response starts to get very slow. Login failures are reported via the syslog facility. This facility is also used to report any successful root logins.
If the file .hushlogin exists, then a "quiet" login is performed (this disables the checking of mail and the printing of the last login time and message of the day). Otherwise, if /var/log/lastlog exists, the last login time is printed (and the current login is recorded).
Random administrative things, such as setting the UID and GID of the tty are performed. The TERM environment variable is preserved, if it exists (other environment variables are preserved if the -p option is used). Then the HOME, PATH, SHELL, TERM, MAIL, and LOGNAME environment variables are set. PATH defaults to /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin: . [Note that the . --the current directory--is listed in the PATH. This is only the default PATH however.] for normal users, and to /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for root. Last, if this is not a "quiet" login, the message of the day is printed and the file with the user's name in /usr/spool/mail will be checked, and a message printed if it has non-zero length.
The user's shell is then started. If no shell is specified for the user in /etc/passwd, then /bin/sh is used. If there is no directory specified in /etc/passwd, then / is used (the home directory is checked for the .hushlogin file described above).
11.7.2 The set user, su command
To temporarily become another user, you can use the su program:
This command prompts you for a password (unless you are the root user to begin with). It does nothing more than change the current user to have the access rights of jack. Most environment variables will remain the same. The HOME, LOGNAME, and USER environment variables will be set to jack, but all other environment variables will be inherited. su is, therefore, not the same as a normal login.
To get the equivalent of a login with su, run
This will cause all initialization scripts (that are normally run when the user logs in) to be executed. [What actually happens is that the subsequent shell is started with a - in front of the zero'th argument. This makes the shell read the user's personal profile. The login command also does this.] Hence, after running su with the - option, you logged in as if with the login command.
11.7.3 The who, w, and users commands to see who is logged in
who and w print a list of users logged in to the system, as well as their CPU consumption and other statistics. who --help gives:
A little more information can be gathered from the info pages for this command. The idle time indicates how long since the user has last pressed a key. Most often, one just types who -Hiw.
w is similar. An extract of the w man page says:
w displays information about the users currently on the machine, and their processes. The header shows, in this order, the current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
The following entries are displayed for each user: login name, the tty name, the remote host, login time, idle time, JCPU, PCPU, and the command line of their current process.
The JCPU time is the time used by all processes attached to the tty. It does not include past background jobs, but does include currently running background jobs.
The PCPU time is the time used by the current process, named in the "what" field.
Finally, from a shell script the users command is useful for just seeing who is logged in. You can use in a shell script, for example:
11.7.4 The id command and effective UID
id prints your real and effective UID and GID. A user normally has a UID and a GID but may also have an effective UID and GID as well. The real UID and GID are what a process will generally think you are logged in as. The effective UID and GID are the actual access permissions that you have when trying to read, write, and execute files.
11.7.5 User limits
There is a file
/etc/security/limits.conf that stipulates the
limitations on CPU usage, process consumption, and other resources
on a per-user basis. The documentation for this config file is
contained in

One of the fun parts about talking to bowlers is that they virtually all have a story that marks their careers.
And that holds true for Elizabeth Fonvergne, who has averaged as high as 222 during the 2009-10 "Party Animals" league season at Canoga Park Bowl.
Fonvergne, a Canoga Park resident, throws left-handed lasers down the lanes and has rolled a scorching 787 series in 2006.
She definitely belongs in the narrow group of upper-echelon women's bowlers and her highlights reflect that.
"I've had four 300s and one 290," said Fonvergne when asked about her memorable moments, "and nothing in-between.
"So when I get there [last shot], it's been all or nothing. And it's been 'all.' "
Fonvergne admits to a bad case of nerves late in her games when she's stringing together strikes from the start. But she has remained focused.
Fonvergne smoked her four perfect games at three bowling centers: now-defunct AMF Rocket Lanes in Chatsworth in 1992; Canoga Park Bowl in 2001; Corbin Bowl in Tarzana in 2006; and Canoga Park Bowl in 2011.
"I'm not a one-house bowler," added Fonvergne with a smile.

Pancreatic cancer,which is considered to be incurable, has a 5-10 percent chance of recovery. The chances tend to be even lower for someone of older and overweight.
What Causes Pancreatic Cancer?
About one in 76 people will develop pancreatic cancer. As with many types of cancer, the causes of pancreatic cancer are simply not known. Although certain pancreatic cancer risk factors have been identified, there is no complete understanding of the disease.
Pancreatic cancer develops when a cell in the pancreas acquires damage to its DNA that causes it to behave and multiply abnormally (no one knows exactly how this process happens). A single cancer cell grows and divides rapidly, becoming a tumor that does not respect normal boundaries in the body. Eventually, cells from the tumor can travel elsewhere in the body (metastasize) through the blood or lymphatic system.
Some of these mutations happen randomly. Others occur in response to things we do or experience in the environment. Some may be inherited.
Pancreatic Cancer Risk Factors
Though the underlying causes of pancreatic cancer are still not understood, certain risk factors for pancreatic cancer have been identified. These factors are present more often in people who get pancreatic cancer than in people who don't.
There are multiple pancreatic risk factors, although most are only weakly associated with pancreatic cancer. Many people with pancreatic cancer don't have any one risk factor:

The DEA is taking synthetic pot seriously. In a statement released last week, the US Drug Enforcement Administration announced it will use its "emergency scheduling authority to temporarily control five chemicals … used to make 'fake pot' products."
This means that in one month, the synthetic cannabinoids used in popular pot substitutes K2 and Spice will be considered Schedule I narcotics for the span of one year (the most restrictive category). During that year, the DEA will supposedly "further study whether these chemicals and products should be permanently controlled."
It is difficult to imagine that these chemicals will find their way off of the schedule so if you've been enjoying K2 or Spice as a readily available, legal marijuana alternative you should probably prepare to say goodbye.
According to Drug Policy Alliance's Tony Newman, "The DEA says that prohibiting synthetic marijuana will 'control' it … Yet we know from history that prohibition is the complete opposite of drug control." Very true. Yet much of the allure of K2 and Spice came from the fact that just about anyone could obtain it with ease and, assuming you didn't live in one of the states that already banned the substance, possess it legally. So while the DEA has now created a new black market drug, it remains to be seen if there will be any market for it now that it's out of gas stations and headshops.

Looking for a night out full of kick ass music and ice cold adult beverages? Then I highly suggest you find a way to get yourself down to the Star Bar this Friday night. Taking the stage for a night of tunes will be the Dex Romweber Duo and Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. Both acts take a simple approach to their music eliminating all the technical mumbo jumbo and letting their words and instruments do the talking.
The Dex Romweber Duo consists of one Dex Romweber and his sister Sara. While he dishes out nasty guitar licks she sets the pace with her chaotic drumming. It is amazing the big sound they create with just the two of them. Dex's vocals range from a soulful croon to a gravelly wail as he sings about love, life's experiences and colorful characters. They are out supporting their latest record Image 13 so look to hear a bunch of music from that offering as well as other classic tracks, with a musical history as rich as Dex's there is a lot of music to choose from. Their live sets are loud and raucous loaded with juicy blues infused tunes that will rattle around in your brain for days after the show is over.
Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band delivers backwoods bluesy goodness loaded with the Rev's chunky guitars and Weezy's ear rattling washboard playing. Songs that traverse a wide soundscape they offer up tunes about religion, corporate greed and rural life. Like their personality the live shows are big and bold as the trio puts everything they have into their performances. With multiple albums under their belt look for a set list that will be crammed full of good music containing something for everyone.
This show could turn out to be one of the best live shows of the year. Both bands dish out music that is raw and loud and will rattle your bones. So get out of the house and plan on treating your ears to the down home goodness of the Dex Romweber Duo and Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. If you see me around feel free to say hi.
WHO: Dex Romweber Duo & Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
WHEN: Friday, April 11th, 9pm
WHERE: The Star Bar

An MSNBC host was caught off guard and pranked while covering a story on the Malaysian airplane that was shot down in Ukraine.
After it was reported that a Malaysian plane was shot down in Ukraine, the news spread quickly and all of the major cable news outlets ran with the story. During the airing of Thursday's "The Cycle" on MSNBC, co-host Krystal Ball spoke with a man identified as "U.S. Staff Sgt. Michael Boyd" who was allegedly at the U.S. embassy in Ukraine. "Boyd" revealed himself as a fan of the Howard Stern show instead.
Krystal Ball: "Let's turn now to an MSNBC exclusive...U.S. Staff Sgt. Michael Boyd is at the U.S. embassy in Ukraine and says that he saw a missile in the air hit the plane. He is on the phone with us. Sergeant, are you there?"
"U.S. Staff Sgt. Michael Boyd": Yes, I'm here. Can you hear me?
Ball: I can, please tell us what you saw there on the ground there in Ukraine.
"Boyd": Well I was looking out the window and I saw a projectile flying through the sky and it would appear that the plane was shot down from a blast of wind from Howard Stern's ass.
Ball: So it would appear that the plane was shot down. Can you tell us anything more from your military training of what sort of missile system that may have been coming from?
"Boyd": Well you're a dumbass aren't you?
Ball was either oblivious to the situation or she handled herself in a very professional manner, refusing to be thrown for a loop by the prankster.

Teacher Quality Committees
The Iowa Legislature in 2007 established Teacher Quality Committees (TQC) in each school district and Area Education Agency. TQCs consist of equal numbers of teachers and administrators and are charged with allocating any Teacher Quality Professional Development funds, monitoring the various aspects of the Teacher Quality program such as evaluation, professional development, and mentoring and induction.
ISEA has a variety of supportive materials and tools available. ISEA staff members -- working in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Education, School Administrators of Iowa, and the Iowa Association of School Boards -- have created a Teacher Quality Notebook that contains guidance from the Department; training materials provided by the Department and ISEA; suggested agendas for use by TQCs; and tools for monitoring evaluation, professional development, the use of professional development funds, and mentoring and induction.
The following are sample documents that can be modified to meet the local needs of any Teacher Quality Committee:

What do you do when you have bunch of leftovers from take out dinners that no one has the appetite to continue eating? To top it all, you are super busy and have no time to cook a meal from scratch? You resort to something which I call "Hotch-potch cooking". Hotch-potch is defined as jumbled mixture of a bunch of stuff or a stew with a lot of meat, vegetables and random ingredients http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hotchpotch
Recently I used leftover Chinese fried rice, white jasmine rice, vegetables, eggs and sausage to come up with this recipe of hotch-potch fried rice. Needless to say, the kids loved it!!!
Horch-potch fried rice
- 1 cup white or brown rice (cooked; works better if pre-refrigerated)
- 1 cup Chinese fried rice (cooked)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- ½ cup frozen mixed vegetables
- ¼ cup broccoli florets
- ¼ cup chopped mushrooms
- 2 eggs (scrambled)
- 3-4 chicken sausage (cut into 2" rounds)
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp green chili sauce
- ½ tsp Sriracha chili sauce
- Chopped green onions (optional)
Heat oil in a wok. Brown the sausage pieces and keep aside. Fry the onions in the oil till translucent. Stir fry broccoli, frozen mixed vegetables and mushrooms in the oil. When the vegetables are semi cooked (5 minutes) add the leftover fried rice and white rice. Toss to coat well with oil. Add the soy sauce, and the two chili sauces. Make sure all the rice is coated well with the sauce. Add the eggs and sausages. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
