I agree with your editorial that "even those who fight in a just cause are implicated in that sinfulness" ("Stop It," [1] March 28). However, I cannot agree with Peter Dula that it would be right and proper to deny Communion for a year to soldiers involved in a war ("Easter in Baghdad," [2] March 28).
Soldiers take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Having sworn to this in good conscience, soldiers are obligated to abide by the decisions of civilian leaders. Not doing so would endanger the security of the republic and fellow citizens by making war a matter of individual, not collective, choice.
In the United States, the military is subordinate to civilian authorities, who are duly elected by the people. Once the decision for war is made by the president and Congress, soldiers represent their fellow citizens in the execution of public policy. Within these restrictions, soldiers are bound by the laws of land warfare, the humanitarian conventions to which our nation is a signatory—the Geneva and Hague Conventions—and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In addition, above and beyond all these legal...

I installed the F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. When I select New Project I expected to see F# Application in the list of Visual F# templates but all I see is F# Library and F# Tutorial.
I say I expected it because I see it referenced in the book Programming F# 3.0 by Chris Smith.
Any suggestions for getting the F# Application template in the list?

June 21, 2012
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State head soccer coach Heather Cairns announced Thursday the addition of three more players for the 2012 season. Junior midifielder Robin Hansen, junior defender Jackie Tillotson and freshman forward Kaitlyn Wilcox will join the Aggies this season. The trio rounds out the 12-member 2012 USU soccer signing class.
Hansen, a Hyde Park, Utah native, played her first two seasons at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa. At IWCC, Hansen was a two-year starter who was an anchor for the Reiver midfield. She scored seven goals and tallied five assists as a Reiver. After graduating early, Hansen transferred to Utah State for the spring semester and has already begun training with the Aggies.
Wilcox, a Tremonton, Utah, native, missed her senior season due to an injury but was still named team captain. During her high school career, she earned all-region and all-state honors. Her junior year, she set the school scoring record with 16 goals. Wilcox has started since her sophomore season and scored 22 career goals.
She has one sister, Amanda who played soccer at Iowa Western, while her father Gene, wrestled at BYU.
Tillotson, who hails from Sandy, Utah, played two seasons at UNLV a future Mountain West Conference rival of Utah State. She played in 16 of the Rebels' 21 matches last season, starting eight. She had one assist and took two shots.
Her father played football at Utah State (1975-79), while sister Bobbi played soccer at BYU (2003-04) and sister Summer played at Utah State (2008-11). Summer earned all-Western Athletic Conference honors twice in her storied career.
Utah State has seven starters and 12 letterwinners returning from last year's historic team that ended the season with a 15-5-2 record. The Aggies recorded a 5-1-1 WAC record en route to their third WAC regular-season title in four years. USU also won its first WAC Tournament title and advanced to its first NCAA Tournament.

Allyson Felix
Allyson Michelle Felix (born November 18, 1985[1]) is an American track and field sprint athlete who competes in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. At 200 meters, she is the 2012 Olympic champion, a 3-time World champion (2005–09), and 2-time Olympic silver medalist (2004–08). In 2015, she became World champion at 400 meters. She has won three additional Olympic gold medals as a member of the United States' women's relay teams; two at 4 x 400 meters (2008–12) and one as part of the 2012 world-record 4 x 100 meters team.
Felix's 200 meters best of 21.69 secs from 2012, ranks her sixth on the all-time list. In 2013, she broke the world best for the rarely contested 150 meters distance, running 16.36 secs. In the 4 x 400 metres relay at the 2015 World Championships, she ran the fastest split ever recorded by an American woman, and third fastest split ever after Jarmila Kratochvilova and Marita Koch, with 47.72. As a participant in the US Anti-Doping Agency's "Project Believe" program, Felix is regularly tested to ensure that her body is free of performance-enhancing drugs.[2] She is coached by Bobby Kersee.

Early life[edit]
Born and raised in California, Felix is a devout Christian and the daughter of Paul, an ordained minister and professor of New Testament at The Master's Seminary in Santa Clarita Valley, California,[3] and Marlean who is an elementary school teacher at Balboa Magnet Elementary.[1] Her older brother Wes Felix is also a sprinter. Also running the 200 m, he was the USA Junior Champion in 2002[4] and the Pac-10 champion in 2003 and 2004 while running for USC. Wes now acts as the agent for his sister.[5] Felix describes her running ability as a gift from God, "For me, my faith is the reason I run. I definitely feel I have this amazing gift that God has blessed me with, and it's all about using it to the best of my ability." [6]
High school[edit]
Allyson Felix attended Los Angeles Baptist High School in North Hills, California, where she was nicknamed "Chicken Legs" by her teammates, because the five-foot-six, 125-pound sprinter's body had skinny legs despite her strength.[1] But Felix's slightness was at seeming odds with her speed on the track and strength in the gym, where, while still in high school, she deadlifted at least 270 pounds.[7] She credits much of her success to her coach, Samson Young.
Felix began to discover her athletic talents after she tried out for track in the ninth grade. Just ten weeks after that first tryout, she finished ninth in the 200m at the CIF California State Meet. In the coming seasons, she became a five-time winner at the meet.[8][9] In 2003 she was named the national girls' "High School Athlete of the Year" by Track and Field News.[10] As a senior, Felix finished second in the 200m at the US Indoor Track & Field Championships. A few months later, in front of 50,000 fans in Mexico City, she ran 22.11 seconds, the fastest in history for a high school girl (though it could not count as a World Junior record because there was no drug testing at the meet[1]).[11]
Felix graduated in 2003, making headlines by forgoing college eligibility to sign a professional contract with Adidas. Adidas paid her an undisclosed sum and picked up her college tuition at the University of Southern California.[12] She has since graduated with a degree in elementary education.[13]
Early career[edit]
At just 18, Felix finished as silver medalist in the 200 meters at the 2004 Summer Olympics, behind Veronica Campbell of Jamaica; in doing so, she set a World Junior record over 200 meters with her time of 22.18.[1]
Felix became the youngest-ever gold medalist sprinter in the 200 meters at the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005 and then successfully defended her title at Osaka two years later. At Osaka, Felix caught Jamaican Veronica Campbell on the bend and surged down the straight to finish in 21.81 seconds, lowering her own season-leading time by a massive 0.37 seconds. After the final she stated that "I feel so good, I am so excited. I have been waiting for so long to run such a time, to run under 22 seconds. it has not been an easy road, but finally I managed," said Felix. At that time, she addressed her future, saying, "My next goal is not the world record, but a gold in Beijing. I want to take it step by step. I might consider to do both – the 200 and the 400 meters – there." Felix became only the second female athlete; after Marita Koch in 1983 to win three gold medals at a single IAAF World Championships in Athletics.[1][14]
Felix qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games during the 2008 Olympic trials in the 200 meters, but just missed qualifying for the 100 meter. However, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, despite running her season's best time in the 200 meters at 21.93, Felix again finished second to Campbell, who ran 21.74, the best time in the decade,[15] to clinch the gold medal. Felix also ran the 4x400 meters relay as a member of the U.S. women's team. The team finished first, giving Felix her first Olympic gold medal.
In the build-up to the 2009 World Championships in Athletics Felix was part of a United States 4 x 100 m relay team that ran the fastest women's sprint relay in twelve years. Lauryn Williams, Felix, Muna Lee and Carmelita Jeter finished with a time of 41.58 seconds, bringing them to eighth on the all-time list.[16] In 2009 aged just 23, Felix proceeded to claim her third 200-meter World Championships gold medal, an unprecedented accomplishment in women's sprinting.[17] Felix clocked 22.02sec to comfortably beat Jamaica's Olympic 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown.
Afterwards she said, "It's really special to win a third world title. I wanted to do it in this stadium, represent my country and make Jesse Owens proud." But Felix admitted that she would rather have the one gold medal that she was missing. "I would love to trade my three world championships for your gold," Felix jokingly said to Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica at the medalists' news conference. She referred to the 2008 Olympic gold medal in the 200m, a race Felix was heavily favored to win. She was distressed over finishing second to Campbell-Brown when it happened in Beijing and still obsessed about it a year later. "I don't think I ever want to get over it," Felix said. "I never want to be satisfied with losing." At the same time she also commented, "I'm just grateful to have had success quickly, and sometimes I do have to pinch myself and realize all this has happened in not that much time."
In 2010, Felix focused on running more 400 m races. Running the 200 m and the 400 m, she became the first person ever to win two IAAF Diamond League trophies in the same year. She continued her dominance by winning 21 races out of 22 starts, only losing to Veronica Campbell-Brown in New York. Incidentally, it was there that Brown set the WL time of 21.98 seconds. In 2011, Felix attended the 'Great City Games' held in the streets of Manchester on 15 May. It was there that she set the world leading time in the 200m, which was 22.12. She also ran a 10.89 in the second 100m of the race.
At the 2011 World Championships in Athletics, Felix participated in the 200 and 400 meter events, as well as the 4×100 and 4×400 meter relays. First up was the 400 meter event, where Felix was placed in lane 3 in the final and finished second in a time of 49.59, 0.03 behind winner Amantle Montsho, who she had beaten throughout the season. In the 200 meter final, running also in lane 3, Felix finished third in an under-par time of 22.42 due to fatigue. Veronica Campbell-Brown won the gold and Carmelita Jeter won silver. In the relay events, Felix ran the second leg in both the 4x100m and 4x400m. Team USA won both events and attained world-leading times in both finals as Felix added two World Championship gold medals to her collection.
In 2012, Felix returned to the Olympic Trials, the schedule of events virtually requiring she choose between attempting to qualify in the 100m or 400m as her secondary event behind the 200m. She chose the 100m and advanced to the final, the top 3 finishers were to go on to the 2012 Summer Olympics as part of the 100m team. In the final, she ran 11.01, good enough for 3rd,[18] but not without controversy. Officials ruled the race a tie after initially declaring the inexperienced Jeneba Tarmoh the winner. There was to be a run off for the 3rd spot between Tarmoh and Felix, but Tarmoh pulled out of the 100-meter runoff scheduled for Monday July 2, 2012, thus conceding the final 100m spot to Felix.[19]
In the 200m final at the Olympic Trials, Felix ran a personal best and a meet record of 21.69, the third fastest time an American has ever run and the fourth fastest ever. Carmelita Jeter and Sanya Richards-Ross placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
At the 2012 Summer Olympics Felix competed in four events: The 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, and 4x400m relay, placing 5th in the 100m and winning gold in the other three, thus becoming the first American woman to win three golds in athletics at an Olympics since Florence Griffith-Joyner at the 1988 Summer Olympics. In her first final, the 100m, she placed 5th, running a personal best time of 10.89 seconds. In the 200m final; a race she lost at the 2008 Summer Olympics and 2004 Summer Olympics to Jamaican rival, Veronica Campbell-Brown, it proved third time lucky as she beat Campbell-Brown, and also the 2012 100m Olympic Gold medallist, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who finished second. American compatriot Carmelita Jeter took the bronze.
Felix took to the track again on August 10, 2012 as part of the women's 4x100m relay team with Tianna Madison, Bianca Knight, and Carmelita Jeter. The foursome went on to smash the long held world record of 41.37, set by East Germany in October 1985. This record was set before Allyson Felix, Bianca Knight, or Tianna Madison were even born.
On the final night of athletics August 11, 2012, Felix ran the 2nd leg of the women's 4 x 400m (in a leg time of 48.20), with DeeDee Trotter, Francena McCorory, and Sanya Richards-Ross, with the winning time being 3:16.87, the 3rd fastest time in Olympic history behind the Soviet Union and United States at the 1988 Summer Olympics, and the 5th fastest time overall.[20]
Following the Olympics, Felix was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on August 17, 2012.[21] Felix also visited the set of ABC show Scandal, where she took photos with the cast and her Olympic medals.[22] She had revealed she spent some of the time in her London hotel room watching Scandal when an NBC broadcaster talked to her after her 200m qualifier race on August 7.[23]
In the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Felix entered the 200 m and was expected to also appear in the relay finals, but pulled up in the 200 m final with a hamstring injury and was carried from the track. The race was won by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.[24]
After a nine-month layoff because of a hamstring injury, Felix resumed competition in the 400m at the Shanghai Diamond League meet in May 2014 which she finished fifth with a time of 50.81. She later competed in the Eugene Diamond League meet for 200m and finished third with a season's best of 22.44. She got back into form short after and in the Oslo Diamond League meet she finished first in the 200m for her first win of the season with a time of 22.73. Later she also took part in the Paris and Glasgow Diamond League meetings.
In Paris, she ran her season's best again (22.34) only behind Blessing Okagbare from Nigeria, who ran a time of 22.32. In Glasgow, she lost to Dafne Schippers from the Netherlands, a hepthalon athlete, which set a national record of 22.34. Felix was just 0.01 second behind her. Felix later took part in the Stockholm Diamond league, where she won the race with a time of 22.85, what became her second win of the season. In a result she took the lead in the Diamond Race standings of 200m. In the last Diamond League meeting of the season, in Brussels, Belgium, she won the race with a world leading time of 22.02, and also won the Diamond Race.
As the winner of the 2014 IAAF Diamond League 200 meter title, Felix received a bye into the 2015 World Championships in Athletics. Obligated to enter the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships but not needing to run the 200, she chose the 400 metres. She won the event in 50.19 for her 10th U.S. Championship, coming from 4th place with 100 metres to go to pass Natasha Hastings before the finish.[25] The National Championships also saw then World #1ranked Francena McCorory and #2 Sanya Richards-Ross not qualify for the World Championships should Felix choose to run 400 meters.
The schedule for the World Championships had the 400 meter final occur just over an hour after the 200 meter semi-finals, making it virtually impossible to perform to world championship level in both events.[26] As of July 1, she had the fastest seed time in both the 400 (.11 over the fastest competitor) and 200 (.22 over the fastest competitor). This left Felix with a difficult choice as to which event she would put her effort into at the World Championships.
Eventually, Felix chose to focus on the 400 metres, going on to win her first gold medal in the event with a personal best of 49.26 in the final. In doing so, Felix became the first woman to win World titles in the 200m and the 400m; additionally, she has now won the most World gold medals, and most World medals total, out of any American.[27] Later on, she won silver medals in both the 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay. In the latter race, Felix received a baton while having a huge deficit to leading Jamaica. She then ran her leg in time of 47.72 and regained the lead for the USA before the final handoff. Running the final leg Francena McCorory was not able to hold on the lead and was overtaken by Novlene Williams-Mills in the final meters.[28]
Allyson Felix is a four-time recipient of the Jesse Owens Award from USATF signifying the Athlete of the Year. She won the award for the first time in 2005, and then again in 2007, 2010 and 2012.[29][30] She is only the second woman (after Marion Jones) to win the award three times. Felix also won the IAAF female athlete of the year in 2012.

In November 2014, Felix traveled to Brazil as a SportsUnited Sports Envoy for the U.S. Department of State. In this function, she worked with Josh George to conduct clinics, speeches and other events for 510 youth, many of whom had disabilities or came from marginalized communities. The program was designed to remove barriers and create activities that benefit audiences with and without disabilities, whilst speaking with a young, at-risk public about important life and sports values, such as respect, discipline and overcoming adversity.[35]

LETTER: UA disrespected Florida in Gainesville
Published: Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 7, 2011 at 11:09 p.m.
Dear Editor: I was at the Alabama versus University of Florida game on Saturday, Oct. 1. I believe that the band from the University of Alabama owes the fans of UF an apology. I also believe that the University of Alabama band owes their fans an apology for poorly representing the Alabama fans. In all of the contests I have attended, the fans of Alabama have been polite and respectful of the opposing teams fans. I respect them for representing their University and alma mater with pride and integrity.
At the third quarter break, UF fans have a tradition of singing "We are the Boys of Old Florida." The Alabama band began playing a loud and brassy song during this tradition. This was disrespectful of the tradition and reflects poorly on the band and University. That was a very unfortunate choice by the band
director/drum major.

Thorogood Boots: Men's 804-4655 Composite Toe USA Made EH Wedge Work Boots
Out on the rig, you need the safest, most comfortable work boots you can find. These Thorogood Men's 804-4655 Brown American-Made Composite Toe 6 Inch EH Wedge Work Boots give you all the protective features you require in one package, that also offers comfort.
The uppers of these Thorogood boots are made of tobacco oil-tanned leather, so these composite toe boots look great all year. The leather is a rich brown that won't show stains or dirt as much as other colors. And since the leather is naturally resistant to oil, abrasions, and water, these safety toe boots are perfect for wear at various job sites. Their low, 6-inch height provides your ankles with reinforcement, while still allowing for flexibility.
Comfortable, breathable safety American-Made boots that support your feet, legs, and back should be a part of your work uniform. These Thorogood boots have cotton drill vamp lining that wicks away moisture. Beneath your feet, a removable insole with dual-density ultimate shock absorption footbed cushions your steps and dissipates the impact of walking. Your feet can breathe easier in more ways than one!
These wedge shoes have composite safety toes, built to protect your toes from objects that may fall from above or roll past you. This type of safety toe won't conduct heat, cold, or electricity, so you can wear these in all types of weather conditions. They're ANSI/ASTM I75 and C75 approved.
Engineered composite shanks are located inside the outsoles of these men's boots. Shanks are rectangles of hard material that are placed in the soles of work shoes in such a way that they force the shoes to give ever so carefully, so your steps are flexible and pleasant. Shanks are great features added to these USA-Made boots; you'll rely on them when you're on your feet all day.
The reliable soles are attached with tough leather uppers using Goodyear Welt construction. This gives you durability, while the Goodyear storm welts keeps your wedge boots in better shape and your socks cleaner.
This men's footwear is also electrical hazard (EH) rated, so the non-conductive soles and heels are shock-resistant. The EH rating means that these composite toe shoes supply you with a secondary source of protection, in case you have incidental contact with electrical currents. The work boots have been tested and meet CAN/CSA-Z195 18,000 volts electrical shock standards. Additionally, the soles features a gripping ability to help create reliable, slip-resistant boots for you to wear to work. So don't be shocked - in one place, you're protected from strong voltage AND falling down.
Rely on the respected name of Thorogood, and trust that you're getting the best footwear for the job. Buy a pair of Thorogood Men's Brown 6 Inch Composite Toe American-Made EH Boots today.

Customer Reviews For Thorogood Boots: Men's 804-4655 Composite Toe USA Made EH Wedge Work Boots
That said...
My sneaker size is a 10.5-11. Most work boots I comfortably fit into a 10.5. I've never had to wear more than a D(M) width. After reading a bunch of reviews on Thorogood boots, the consensus seemed to be to downsize. So I ordered a 10D(M). It felt cavernous. If I shoved my foot all the way forward I still had ~3/4" space at the heel. With a thin pair of socks on, the boot widthwise, was quite snug. If it were a shorter boot I was trying on, I'm not sure my foot would have fit because of the toe taper. If I felt like gambling I would have exchanged these for a size 9EE. However I've no luck gambling and no patience playing the return game. I'm exchanging them for a pair of Size 10 Keens (these also tend to run long).
Thank you very much for your notification that you have received my return and status of my new order. Because of your commitment to customer satisfaction and prompt follow up on customer concerns, I recommend your store to my associates with utmost confidence."

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the leaves of transgenic tobacco plants with betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) gene was about 36% higher than that in the control plants (parent plants), activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (Cat) increased by about 62% and 88% respectively. Activities of ascorbate peroxidase (AsSPOD), dehydroascorbate redutase (DAsAR) and glutathione reductase (GR) in ascorbate-glutothion pathway located at chloroplasts increased by 67.7%, 47.9% and 38.8% respectively. These results indicated that the H2O2 produced by SOD catalyzing superoxide anion radicals (O2 −) could be fully decomposed, and could not derive to form the strongest toxicant radicals · OH. This is the first report to elucidate quantitatively that the activities of two kinds of antioxidative enzymes decomposed radicals and active oxygen were matched. Photoinhibition tolerant capacity of the transgenic tobacco plants was 35% higher than that in the parent plants. Increment of photoinhibition tolerant capacity in the transgenic tobacco plants might be due to increment of antioxidative enzymes activities, in turn being able to more effectively scavenge active oxygen and radicals, protect organization and function of chloroplasts. These results showed that the increment of antioxidative enzymes activities in the transgenic tobacco might be one of the reasons for the increment of resistance in the transgenic tobacco.

Hello Everything
by Squarepusher
- Record Label: Warp
- Release Date: Oct 17, 2006
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
This is a promising album, one which refines prior approaches and shows what Jenkinson has learned and incorporated into his arsenal in the last few years, presented in a careful, focused package.
For the most part, this is Squarepusher on full beam and Hello Everything is a thing of unbridled joy.
It's certainly not a perfect album, but Hello Everything represents the pinnacle of performance from electronic music's most thoroughly developed mind.
The sheer size of Hello Everything's scope dictates it's a bit of a sprawling beast, more a collection of moments than a cohesive record. Nonetheless, it's a consistently enthralling listen.
Despite the inconsistencies, Hello Everything is one of the best things that Jenkinson has done in some time.
Under The RadarModern compositions that sometimes defy logic and sound. [#15]
Once again this is a thought provoking and stimulating listen from Squarepusher, continually developing his style and surprising in his lightness of touch and inclusion of Latin and funk influences.
The new set goes just far enough beyond the call of duty to warrant repeat listens.
Q MagazineThe sheer speed can be exhilarating, but changes of pace... are disappointingly few and far between. [Nov 2006, p.149]
New Musical Express (NME)There's still signs of the nutso techno loony who prompted NME to invent the term 'drill'n'bass' back in the mid-'90s. [14 Oct 2006, p.35]
If you haven't encountered Jenkinson's strange world of jazz-fusion-hardcore before, this is a decent starting point, and if you're more into the jazz funk than the digital hardcore, this is one of his less abrasive outings.
Paste MagazineHello Everything is short on revelations but not quality. [Dec 2006, p.97]
UrbWhile Hello Everything is everything you'd expect a Squarepusher LP to be, therein lies the problem: It's exactly everything you'd expect a Squarepusher album to be. [Oct 2006, p.130]
UncutThere's a self-indulgence at play when can become aggravating. [Nov 2006, p.128]
Alternative PressThe songs sound more like a collection of B-sides than a new album. [Dec 2006, p.206]

TimCDec 24, 2006An altogether solid album with at least a couple amazing tracks. It's one of the better albums of the year.
AlexADec 2, 2006Interesting but soulless stuff. "Ultravisitor" was far much better.
RMOct 25, 2006For some reason this Squarepusher album gets a lot of criticism for not being original. But to be honest I cannot think of any other For some reason this Squarepusher album gets a lot of criticism for not being original. But to be honest I cannot think of any other Squarepusher release that sounds like this (no tracks like Hello Meow, Vacuum Garden for instance). Obviously there are a few things which make Squarepusher Squarepusher, but it seems that a lot of the ranting is about how accessible this album is. And yet when he does release an experimental album like Ultravisitor, that received criticism from some for being too experimental. I think it was the right decision to make a friendly album after mainly experimenting from 1998's Music Is Rotted One Note (I won't mention the poor Selection Sixteen) because, as much as I have enjoyed his work, it is important I think to remind people why we liked Squarepusher in the first place. As for the album itself, I think all of the tracks are of a pretty high standard, with some better than others depending on perosnal preference. It is actually a consistent album and it is a pity that it is criticised because of its concept rather than content. He can do something new on his next album - give him a break and just enjoy the album (I like the Guardians attitude).… Full Review »

"Any last words, Lachance?" Arquen asked, smugly brandishing a sharp blade. She grinned wickedly as the other members of the Black Hand closed in, rounding about him like a pack of hungry wolves.
While it would have been expected of him to speak once more on behalf of the Night Mother, Lachance remained still and silent.
Walk always in the Shadow of Sithis, child.
There will never be a time when this is not heartbreaking to me.

Canadian High School certainly benefited from a drop from Class 2A to Class 1A this past school year. The Wildcats rolled to the Class 1A Division I state championship in football after having won it all in 2007 in Class 2A.
Then over the weekend, Canadian won the belated 1A state track title in Austin. The meet was postponed three weeks after the swine flu concerns delayed UIL activities in early May.
The twin titles was something that hasn't been done by a Texas Panhandle boys team in 38 years.

Sonic was giving away root beer floats from 8 p.m.-12 a.m. Wednesday night. If you want to attract a crowd, give away something for free.
I intended to stop in last night for a freebie, or at least check out the mob scene. My short term memory being what it is, I forgot. Talking to those who did see how busy Sonic was, well, just say it was reeeal busy. If you wanted free root beer and ice cream, better be prepared to wait a while.

Putting my money where my keyboard is, I got my hair cut (insert your own joke) this afternoon at 118 Classics at 118 SW Sixth Ave. This is the second time I've been there since writing about this new African-American-owned barbershop in April.
The first time I went, on tax day, April 15, Pat Valliere did the honors. This afternoon it was Taiwan Harper. It takes a little bit longer than at most places, but the reason is they are careful and want to get it right. And they do.

It's a rather curious and somewhat surprising decision that the Amarillo ISD announced in Wednesday's Globe-News the search for a new athletic director has been postponed until the end of the year.
Athletic director Tex Nolan, who has been in the position for the last 13 years, announced his retirement last month effective June 30. Now he will remain through the end of the year as interim athletic director.
"The timing isn't right," AISD superintendent Rod Schroder told the G-N sports department. "...We don't want to rush into this decision."

It must take a lot to get locked up these days. For the second time in less than six weeks, an Amarillo murder is leading police on the search of a man with a troubled past.
David Anaya, 30, an ex-convict, is being sought in the Sunday drive-by shooting death of Eric Mireles, 18. Anaya is the man who allegedly shot Mireles.

The only plausible explanation I have is great minds think alike.
Sitting down in church Sunday morning, I perused the bulletin (that's Baptist talk for "program") and saw that First Baptist Church pastor Dr. Howard Batson had a "reflections" devotional titled "Thank you notes." This is kind of an introduction early in the service to the sermon.
In an odd quirk, I wrote sort of tongue-in-cheek on thank you notes on Sunday. We do not call each other during the week to compare notes mainly because he would use words I don't understand.

There have been some interesting decisions surrounding promising young goaltenders in the Eastern Conference early on in these playoffs, the kinds of decisions that could have far-reaching ramifications for players and coaches alike.
Atlanta coach Bob Hartley yanked franchise netminder Kari Lehtonen after his first playoff game didn't go as planned and the Thrashers lost 4-3 at home to the New York Rangers. Backup Johan Hedberg was sensational in Game 2, stopping 37 of 39 shots; although he allowed a freaky goal to Sean Avery and the Thrashers lost 2-1 to go down 0-2 in the team's first visit to the postseason.
Hartley, who has never curried favor among the hockey intelligentsia, will no doubt be criticized for having gone to the bullpen too early. Still, some people forget he's been through the playoff wars, and if Hartley thought Lehtonen wasn't ready to go back between the pipes, then he wasn't ready.
And, in Atlanta, the view is short term to be sure.
The Thrashers need to make an impact to foster improved relationships with their fans and corporate sponsors. That means win now at all cost, even if there is a potential long-term impact on Lehtonen's psyche given the Thrashers expect to have him around for years to come. Lehtonen is a confident, mentally strong athlete, but he's still just 23 years old. He's not made of porcelain. If he cracks because he got yanked in his first playoff game, maybe he's not the kid you want to lead you long term, anyway.
Everyone remembers when Patrick Roy, Hartley's netminder in Colorado, burst onto the scene in Montreal in 1986, backstopping the Canadiens to a surprise championship as an untested rookie. Yet, the next spring, it was Brian Hayward between the pipes as the Habs advanced to the Eastern Conference finals against Philadelphia. That didn't seem to scar Roy too much as he went on to win three more Stanley Cups and is generally regarded as the greatest goaltender of all time.
In the end, goaltending's not the bugaboo plaguing the Thrashers, but rather the fact offensive stars Ilya Kovalchuk, Keith Tkachuk, Slava Kozlov and Marian Hossa, who combined for 314 regular-season points, have combined for one goal and two assists through two postseason games.
Over in Pittsburgh, Marc-Andre Fleury, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2003, also looked a little jittery in his first playoff outing against Ottawa in Game 1, a 6-3 Senators victory.
Penguins coach Michel Therrien went right back to Fleury in Game 2 and he was terrific, making a number of key stops to preserve the Penguins' come-from-behind, 4-3 win that evened the series at 1. He stopped 34 of 37 Ottawa shots.
Therrien could have gone to veteran Jocelyn Thibault, who was surprisingly solid in the last half of the season. But it appears the view in Pittsburgh is that this is Fleury's team, and they will sink or swim with him, at least for now.
Whether these respective decisions ultimately pay off for their respective teams or come back to haunt them will be made clearer in the coming days, but they reflect an interestingly divergent take on how to handle young netminders.

The thing is that I can't add, edit , or do any other operation. I tried all 3 types of compiling (Step through statements, excecute all statements ,Excecute current statement), but it doesn't help. Exactly the same code I compile perfectly on TOAD. I tried to look at Tora help section, but couldn't find it. If you can spend a couple of secs to answer my question, I would appriciate it.

I'm porting a few larger video codecs to Renderscript. I have just manage to port libx264 and have it encode to a raw H.264 stream. I did that by merging the library using CIL and making globals static, as well as porting Androids own libc string and some stdio functions (merging) and a heap allocation function that use a preallocated buffer.
Now I want to port libvpx. This library uses variable arguments to more central functions than libx264 did (basically the only part I needed to comment out in libx264 was the logging the rest is just configured correct and a few macro definitions to replace things).
So my question is has anyone any tip of how to use variable argument lists for static functions in Renderscript? Google state that Renderscript is C99 compliant so it must be possible in some manner. If anyone have a suggestion for a hack for this let me know if it is not currently supported.

I know I'm usually known as the there are... guy around here, but today 2013 Detroit Catholic Central DE/DT Wyatt Shallman got his first offer, and it was from MIchigan. This is interesting that Hoke and Co. are starting already to recruit the '13 class already. Also being around the Catholic League area I think Shallman will probably project as a 4 star prospect next year. It will be interesting to see if Godin commits to Michigan that his younger teammate will follow in his footsteps. Today he seemed very excited at his first offer, and hopefully the in-state dominance will go on into 2013.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Let's just put this right out there: If anyone in the Twin Cities knows more about jazz--and how to present it to listeners--than Tom Surowicz does, he should get his own radio show. But until that unlikely font of wisdom emerges, we're sticking with Surowicz's Monday Evening Jazz on Monday nights from 8:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. If anything, the breadth and depth of this perennial category winner have only improved in the past year, with Surowicz equally likely to spin the Bad Plus as the Brad Mehldau Trio. And he'll gladly dig up an obscure arrangement of "Danny Boy" or play a Louis Armstrong chestnut just because a longtime fan wants to hear it. Combine this agreeably broad range with Surowicz's cozy, informational but never pedantic style and head full of stories, and you've got some of the best nighttime radio in the state.
There are actors who disappear inside their characters and actors who always remain their charismatic, unmistakable selves. Theatre de la Jeune Lune's Steven Epp does both. His stage-filling but not scene-chewing style deserves its own adjective (Eppian). Yet his highly physical, idiosyncratic interpretations are always logical and wise character studies, whether he's creating a new role or re-inventing one of the classics (such as Tartuffe or Hamlet). Epp's antic wit was on display in Jeune Lune's recent revival of The Ballroom, but his finest performance of late came in The Seagull. Here, he gave the successful writer Trigórin a brooding intensity that expertly illuminated Chekhov's thoughts on the elusiveness of artistic inspiration and the corrupting influence of fame.
Is it possible that the local theater performance of 2004 will come from an actress who spoke only a handful of lines in a seven-minute play? Well, yes, of course, or we wouldn't have brought it up. Charity Jones has done outstanding work for the Jungle, Eye of the Storm, and other outfits. But she may have topped herself in Jane Martin/Jon Jory's "The Billet," a short play that was part of Mixed Blood Theatre's Bill of W(Rights). A brilliant cautionary tale about the Patriot Act, the play cast Jones as Winifred, an affluent woman whose home is suddenly invaded by a couple of monstrous, acid-tongued soldiers. This pair proves they mean business by unceremoniously killing Winifred's husband. Jones began the scene poised and refined. Then, in a virtuoso display of physical, facial, and vocal expression, she progressed through anxiety, terror, rage, and shock. By necessity, these were quick transitions, but they never felt abrupt or calculated. In a few gripping minutes, Jones let the audience experience all the terror and pity of classical tragedy.
We had a moment of sheer panic back on a Friday night in late January when we dialed in KSTP-AM (1500) shortly before 10:00 p.m. to catch the end of The Mischke Broadcast. There, to our horror, we discovered the ravings of some Neanderthal named Chris Krok. Our initial fear was that Mischke's battle with depression had permanently sidelined the renegade radio host. And then, panicking, we theorized that the station's brass had replaced him with yet another conservative evangelist to placate the right-wing radio faithful. But our fears were assuaged a few minutes later when the oddly calming voice of Mischke came over the airwaves announcing another two hours of singing drunks, skewed news stories, and peculiar interviews--the station had merely pushed back his daily shift. When a frequent caller named Luke belted out a truly angelic a capella version of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" during the opening segment of the show, Krok's bilious residue was instantly wiped away. And after a couple of months of adjustment we've concluded that Mischke is actually better suited to the 10:00 p.m. to midnight time slot anyway. His oddball parallel universe makes more sense with the moon high in the sky. Our only regret: no more kamikaze broadcasts from Midway Stadium.
In what can only be described as an act of God, an obscure documentary ode to Christian activist/theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer drew 10,000 faithful over the course of two months last summer. This miracle booking not only helped U Film to resurrect itself commercially, but to find its religion--in nonfiction. Indeed, the Bell has nearly become the site of a year-round documentary film festival, having played host to some of the most genuine art cinema in years, including the Brooklyn-set family epic Love & Diane, the Brazilian reality nail-biter Bus 174, the Chinese Cultural Revolution doc Morning Sun, the French primary school heart-warmer To Be and to Have, and the aging-hippie portrait The Same River Twice. Though U Film's 35mm equipment has certainly seen better days, a spiffy new video projector has been installed just in time for us to witness the rebirths of both the Bell and the populist art film in sharp focus.
See if you can follow this: Bar owner and ex-Marine starts a punk rock label, puts his logo on a Zippo, sells a bunch, starts putting underground artists' work on Zippos, sells a bunch more. Next, he converts the garage in the back of one of his bars into a gallery and hires the publisher of a hip-hop and graffiti magazine to manage it. That, in a nutshell, is the story of Ox-Op, one of the Twin Cities' least likely fantastic art spaces. Since opening a year ago, the smallish gallery--founded by Tom Hazelmeyer, the godfather of the Grumpy's/Amphetamine Reptile/FlameRite Lighters empire; and run by Wes Winship of Life Sucks Die magazine--has exhibited a veritable who's who of the art and design underground. There have been big names, like the insanely prolific Gary Baseman, Shep "Andre's Got a Posse" Fairey, and former Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh. And there have been shows by underrated local design treasures like CSA and Aesthetic Apparatus. Ox-Op's "Rated XX" exhibit, a group exhibit of all-female work, expands the gallery's horizons a bit while continuing to hew to the apparent mission of displaying outwardly innocent but slightly sinister work. And in lieu of $8 Walker After Hours martinis of the month, at Ox-Op you can find on-tap Grain Belt a few steps away.

Last night I was working on copying old files off it onto my new computer, however, somehow, it crashed my computer about halfway into copying 58gb of data (approx).
Now when I plug it in, my computer recognises it, but doesn't let me open it. It shows up as Local Disk (F:) like normal, but with no data bar below it, like my main internal HDD.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it's device driver and trying it on different computers, but to no avail.

Scion tC
MSRP from$22,285 to $23,585 CHECK LOCAL PRICING
- 2016
- Scion
- tC
For 2016, the tC remains unchanged from last year. The sports coupe shows off a sporty look to go with sporty handling. Its more assertive styling starts from the front with distinctive headlamps and a hood that extends lower toward a pronounced grille with an embedded tC logo. The upper- and lower-grille treatments are bordered by LED accent lighting. Beneath the rear bumper, a blackout valance features an FR-S style lower-centre trim piece and lower perimeter reflectors; LED tail lamps complete the picture.
The 2016 tC's 2.5-litre four-cylinder delivers 180 horsepower and is available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. The automatic features Dynamic Rev Management technology, adopted from the FR-S, which quickly blips the engine to match its revs to gear ratios on downshifts, limiting driveline shock.
Convenience features for tC include air conditioning, Bluetooth compatibility and steering wheel-mounted controls, auto-off headlamps and an auto-up and down driver's window.

Investment under market and climate policy uncertainty
Climate change is considered as one of the major systematic risks for global society in the 21st century. Yet, serious efforts to slow the accumulation of emissions are still in their primordial stage and policy makers fail to give proper long-term signals to emitters. These days, investors do not only face uncertainty from volatile prices in the traditional markets, but also from the less conceivable uncertainty of stricter climate change policy. This paper investigates the impact of learning about the commitment of government to a climate policy regime in a real options framework. Two types of uncertainty are distinguished: market-driven price volatility around a mean price and bifurcating price trajectories mimicking uncertainty about changing policy regimes. One of the findings is that the producer facing market uncertainty about CO2 prices invests into carbon-saving technology earlier than if the actual price path had been known on beforehand. This is not a typical real options outcome, but the result of optimizing under imperfect information, which leads to decisions that are different from the optimal strategies under full information. On the other hand, policy uncertainty induces the producer to wait and see whether the government will further commit to climate policy. This waiting is a real options effect. In other words, if learning about government commitment is more valuable than investing into mitigation technologies immediately, the option value exceeds the value of the technology and investment will be postponed. This might lead to supply shortages and limited diffusion of less carbon-intensive technology.

Griffin McDonnell, a freshman member of the Desert Vista varsity golf team, won the 13-14 age group at the Southern Arizona Junior Golf Championship last weekend at Santa Rita Golf Course.
Battling terrible wind and course conditions, McDonnell held on to win by five strokes in the 36-hole event by shooting a 31-over par 175.
He started the second day in a three-way tie and McDonnell was down by two strokes after three holes, but battled back to grab a three-stroke lead after nine holes.
That lead evaporated after 13 holes with five tough into-the-wind holes remaining. His conservative approach paid off in the difficult conditions as he cruised to a five-shot victory.
Over the two-day tournament, McDonnell had two birdies and seven pars.

Shock open training camp
The Spokane Shock opened training camp Saturday and here's my article that will run in Sunday's S-R.
Some other items from the first day: Ex-Shock DB Nygel Rogers, who played for Chicago last year, signed with the Shock, but he isn't in camp. Coach Rob Keefe said it's a paperwork issue and that he isn't sure when it'll be resolved.
"We'll keep the lines of communication open," Keefe said. "We're not expecting him immediately."
Kicker Taylor Rowan and WR Dudley Guice have been put on the refused-to-report list. Rowan is back home in Florida and will be in camp at some point. The Shock know he'll be their kicker. Guice is expected to arrive soon. He apparently had flight issues.
Keefe has it set up so that there will be groups of 2-3 players coming in three days, five days, etc., so he can look at various players.

I used no sodium tomatoes and low sodium beans, added 1 cup of vegetable broth in place of 1 cup of water and it turned out really good. Pretty spicy- and I love spicy food. Would be good with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top.
Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili
From EatingWell: January/February 2011
Make a double batch of this quick vegetarian chili, full of black beans and sweet potatoes, and eat it for lunch the next day or freeze the extras for another night. We love the smoky heat from the ground chipotle, but omit it if you prefer a mild chili. Serve with tortilla chips or cornbread and coleslaw.
67 Reviews for Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili
I love the idea but after making it I felt it was a little bland. I don't think you should cook your sweet potatoes until they are soft because I had a lot of liquid left over so my potatoes got really soft after the water had reduced.
I added corn, mushrooms, kidney beans and used a full teaspoon of the chipotle chili instead of only half.. Has to be one of my favorite meals now
I made this with ground pork and uses a whole chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and I can't even begin to describe how awesome this was.
The chipotle pepper is definitely what made the flavor pop - try it. It has become my secret ingredient!
The ground pork added a bit of flavor too - but would just fine without it.
I'd highly recommend this as a meatless entree which will make everyone happy. You can adjust the heat to your taste. The sweet potatoes and beans make it very filling. This is in my regular rotation!

Times are tough, and IT budgets are feeling the pressure. Just don't expect CIOs to run away scared.
The last three months have been particularly stressful, our just-completed InformationWeek survey about IT spending finds. Of more than 600 business technology executives who responded to our most recent survey, 40% say they decreased IT spending this past quarter relative to their original 2008 budgets; for companies with annual revenue of more than $500 million, it's 50%.
Still, there are plenty of business technology executives going forward with big projects, even adding to their IT workloads--and budgets--with new projects, backed by managements that see a chance to invest in technology-driven efforts to leap ahead of weakened competitors. CIOs are protecting customer-facing projects--they're about half as likely to be cut as ones that don't touch customers. Not only that, smart CIOs are looking for ways to use the IT tools at their disposal to cut costs in their organizations and in other parts of their companies.
These are difficult times, no doubt. Any chief worth his or her BlackBerry is putting together the Plan B list--the projects/efforts/areas that can be deferred or eliminated if things get worse. Now's the time to take inventory: Where exactly is the IT budget being spent, which projects are critical, which have tactical short-term benefits, and which can be put on hold?
General Motors CIO Ralph Szygenda declines to discuss any specific IT spending changes at GM, where the company's facing a multibillion-dollar cost-cutting campaign amid slumping SUV and truck sales and dramatic steps to conserve cash, but he says new application development and deployment "will be maintained as much as possible." In the economy overall, he expects business IT spending to decline, with "key tactical projects" and those in emerging markets staying on track. "Executives do not want to cut key business transformation projects," Szygenda says via e-mail, "but scrutiny is increasing."
