New London - The Grande Caribe, a 96-passenger cruise ship, stayed overnight at City Pier Monday, bringing just over 75 people into the city during a cruise from Boston to upstate New York.
The Grande Caribe, a 184-foot ship run by Blount Small Ship Adventures, arrived at noon and was scheduled to depart at 6 this morning. It will return to the city Oct. 22 for an eight-hour visit.
It is the first time a cruise ship, albeit a small one, has visited the city since 2010.
Passengers aboard the Grande Caribe were offered a day trip to Mystic Seaport or just relaxed on board. A few visitors were seen strolling through downtown Monday afternoon, the Columbus Day holiday.
The Grande Caribe, which is small enough to sail inland passages and go through locks, allows passengers to bring their own alcohol on board. It provides bike and kayak rentals, guest lecturers, a glass bottom launch and photography workshops.
Last month, George Cassidy, executive director of the Stonington-based Connecticut Cruise Ship Task Force, said cruise line visits to New London were hurt by the nation's economic problems, as well as the high cost of docking rights at State Pier - charges that once were nearly as high as for a stop in Boston. Logistec USA Inc., which runs State Pier, recently lowered its rates, he said.
Princess Cruises' Dawn Princess, with a capacity of nearly 2,000 passengers and a crew of more than 900, is expected to arrive for a port of call in New London in 2014, according to Cassidy.
The first cruise ship to stop in New London in recent times arrived in September 2002. The 612-foot Regal Empress was impressive at the time with its capacity of up to 500 passengers. But it was quickly dwarfed by other ships, including the m/s Maasdam, the m/s Veendam and the m/s Explorer of the Seas. The m/s Royal Princess visited Connecticut five times in 2008. It was a year in which nine cruise ships visited New London.
At the time, officials estimated that the cruise ships pumped $1.2 million into the local economy, based on passengers spending an average of $100.

Yesterday I attempted to install the latest version of WordPress but it would simply not connect to the database. After two hours of battering my head against a brick wall as to why it would not connect I gave up the ghost and reinstalled the previous version.
I dont know if anyone else has had a similar problem but for some reason but just thought i would mention it here as it may be a bug.
Before anyone mentions that the database may have been down, it wasnt. It was functioning correctly and I could conect to it via phpMyAdmin or with a different version of WordPress but not this latest version. Odd indeed.

In my recent trip to Chapelco, I found the ski resort to be poorly run. Its management was misleading, even dishonest, when it came to describing the amount of snow and conditions at the mountain.
I decided to go to Chapelco to ski with my family (after visiting its website daily from June 29th to July 1st to check the amount of snow available, as it was the early season). The website spoke of a "GRAND OPENING" and posted pictures of a mountain full of snow, and only in much finer print did it mention that only 2 lifts were open, without being too specific about which runs were open. Once we arrived at the moutain, we immediately noticed that the pictures posted on the website were completely misleading and most likely taken during a previous season, as the amount of snow on the mountain was not even close to what the website showed and described. The mountain had little to no snow at all.
You could argue that the website has webcams, and that it has no obligation to post recent pictures. However the webcams are placed in such a way that they don't show the runs with patches of dirt on them. Yes, we were naive to assume that the pictures were recent, but if they wanted to be completely honest with its visitors, they would have put a disclaimer on the pictures stating that they were not recent.
They place pictures and state conditions in a way that is misleading. In my opinion it's just false advertising.
On our last day (June 6th), management decided to keep the mountain open, even under dangerous conditions, as there was little to no snow left (above freezing temperatures weren't helping), with huge patches of dirt every few feet. When we asked if we could be somehow compensated (eg: a discount on tickets for another season, or just something small...), they bluntly told us their policies don't allow for any re-imbursement or small little token of appreciation (not even a cup of hot chocolate), under any circumstance at all.
My opinion is that management's only goal is to have people go and pay, without any regard for their possible disapointment later, or even safety.
I heard from locals that the mountain is run by an Asian group that couldn't care less about good service or customer satisfaction / loyalty. Locals are extremely nice and warm, and they are supposedly very upset with the resort's management (apparently I'm not the only unhappy customer).
San Martin de los Andes is beautiful and I would love to come back. However, needless to say, I won't be going back to Cerro Chapelco to ski.

I thought I'd balance out the "what went wrong" threads with my success. I read about Xboxes on this forum for a week, bought a refurb Xbox for $136 shipped (ecost), and an Xbit for $60 shipped (modchipman). Everything shipped quicky, no problems. I used the Xbit instructions along with the Xecuter instructions (to find D0 - which I would have never found using only the Xbit instructions). It took about 20 minutes of fiddling around, and I still wasn't sure it was in, but it's working great. I used X-disk with Slayer's documentation for the software side.
I only ran into 2 problems:
1. USB flashing didn't work with my Nforce2 board. It starts, but locks up quickly. I used a friend's laptop for the flashing.
2. Xbox -> PC FTP is fast (10 MB/s), but PC -> Xbox was slow. I changed to 100 Mbit half duplex, no effect. I switched from FileZilla FTP to the built-in IE FTP (through My Network Connections), and this seems to have fixed the problem.
Overall, very easy. I love all the software provided by X-Disk, and I even managed to crash Avalaunch by FTPing, Qwixing, and looking at the Xbox menus at the same time . Now I'm sending over some Roms and videos. Just thought I'd point out that it is possible for a newbie to learn and install a solderless modchip pretty easily. But dear lord does soldering to that D0 point look hard .

Posted 24 February 2004 - 01:37 PM
It's a whopping 1.0 .
Posted 29 February 2004 - 11:06 AM
Well, i got my xbit saturday and installed it in less then an hour. Easy as hell ( i have never installed a mod before and it was my first time opening the xbox), no problems what so ever.
My tips (wich you can find all over the place )
1. Scrape the d0 and the lpc's
2. throw out the spacer (or atleast put it away )
3. use the screw that comes with the xbox
works like a charm
and www.modchipman.com rewls
(4 days from it was shipped to i had it in my hands)

yes I can atest to that the nforce2 motherboards DO NOT work for flashing I have an nforce2 aswell and tried it yesterday it can make some progress but it will constantly freeze at random, I assumed it was interference but after reading, sauroneru's post I realize it must be the mobo itself. Also sauroneru are you using xp on that board i am but i doubt that would be the cause. Lucky for me i didn't junk out my old hp computer and scrape all of it for parts for my custom built computer =)

I haven't been using my HD2 in quite awhile & when I went to use it last the touch screen stopped responding. I use to have this app you install on Windows where you would run the app & it would connect to your phone. Can anyone please tell me what that is called? There are a ton of people that use it I just can't recall what it was. I want to download it again so that I can connect my phone to it & get my pics & stuff off it. I wish I could give you a better description but all I can remember is it had tons of features to it. It is a windows program you install on your computer so that you can connect your phone & see everything on your computer. I think you could do debugging, move folders, install stuff to certain locations, maybe it even had a emulator with it but I am not sure on that 1. It would be very useful so that I can get this stuff. Thanks for any help.
It is not the Android SDK but I think it may have had Android in the name.

They werent bad, but I was very unimpressed. Most of their songs sound the same. They ARE good songs, very nice music overall, it just all sounds the same to me. Oh well, not complaining, jsut saying.

If you made a Kentucky Derby future bet on a speed horse, don't worry if you misplaced the ticket. By sundown on May 6, it almost surely will be worthless. With an inordinate number of front-runners in the likely field, chances are they'll all become pace casualties and set up an exacta combining a closer with a midpack runner.
Besides Blue Grass Stakes winner Sinister Minister, whom his trainer, Bob Baffert, calls "a run-off" and "a runaway train", Santa Anita Derby winner Brother Derek, Arkansas Derby winner Lawyer Ron and Florida Derby winner Barbaro all prefer to run on or near the lead. So do Illinois Derby winner Sweetnorthernsaint and Florida Derby runner-up Sharp Humor.
Even with need-to-lead types First Samurai and Like Now withdrawn from the 132nd Derby, the pace projects as potentially insane. It could be reminiscent of last year, when 70-1 shot Spanish Chestnut blazed through absurd fractions of :22.28, :45.38 and 1:09.39 to pave the way for 50-1 Giacomo, one of the flukiest and least talented Derby winners ever. That was only his second career victory, and he hasn't won since. Deep closers Monarchos (2001) and Grindstone (1996) also capitalized on ridiculous fractions to get the roses, and neither was a major horse, either.
So who will be the hero of America's Race this year? I'll give you my educated guess next week, but for now here are my takes (in alphabetical order) on the 3-year-olds headed for Churchill Downs.
Has the pedigree (by A.P. Indy) and the 2-year-old foundation, but he's lost ground in the final furlong in his last four races, a very bad omen for success in the Derby. Figures aren't great, and his price might be less than it should be because his trainer, John Shirreffs, pulled off the miracle with Giacomo.
It's hard to knock an unbeaten horse, but he's run on a fast track only once, and the Derby will be only his second race in three months. Looks like distance shouldn't be a problem, but he's never been farther back than second at any point in any of his five races. Has the makings of a turf champion, and I think that will be where he does his best work. May be too close to a fast pace, run a good one and be praised despite finishing fourth or fifth. A major talent, but I suspect May 6 won't be his day.
I'm willing to throw out the Blue Grass, usually a fluky race, but he's never beaten a top 3-year-old. Todd Pletcher has spotted him well, and he has talent. He'll be a big price, and he's shown the ability to stalk. Has a decent closing punch and might be worth throwing into exactas, even after running fourth by 21 3/4 lengths at Keeneland.
Has excellent bloodlines (by Seeking the Gold from a Deputy Minister mare), the ability to stalk and fire, and the right connections (Baffert and stakes demon Garrett Gomez). Winning the Wood in the slop in essentially a two-horse race may not be as good as it seems, particularly with the crawling 14-second final furlong. He's a legitimate contender and has run some big closing fractions.
Likely post-time favorite enters unknown territory here. He's been getting his own way while loose on the lead in small fields. Now he'll face intense pace pressure in a wild rodeo to the first turn. My gut feeling is that he's a play-against because of his running style. Still not convinced he's as good as he looks on paper.
Northern California colt hasn't beaten much, and he bombed in the Illinois Derby. Made his money and reputation beating up on weak fields. Doesn't need to be near the pace and usually is gaining at the finish. Not impossible for underneath in the exotics, but a win seems out of the question.
His uninspiring fourth on Saturday in the Derby Trial should convince his owners not to bother with the Derby.
Hasn't done anything except at Tampa Bay Downs, which is a weak Derby resume. He's another that needs to be up on the pace to do his best work, so logically he doesn't fit at all.
Is 1-for-9 lifetime, including 0-for-3 this year, and 0-for-4 in graded stakes. Wasn't beaten by a lot in the Fountain of Youth or the Florida Derby, but never looked like a winner at any point. Stay in the barn.
Passed an exhausted Keyed Entry in the final yards to be a late-running second in the muddy Wood. Still eligible for preliminary allowance conditions, so I'm not real impressed. Race shape should aid his move from far back, but I don't see him as the second coming of Giacomo.
Not sure why he's in the Derby, because he looks more like a miler with a need-to-lead style. Can't recommend, as they say in the Racing Form selections.
Showed he didn't have to go wire-to-wire in the Rebel and the Arkansas Derby, and he's 7-for-7 on fast tracks. I fear him more than Brother Derek because this guy is more versatile. His 14 races are the most in the field, so I wonder if racing since last year with only one five-week winter break will catch up to him. Maybe he's an iron horse. His figs are good but not great, and I wonder if 4-1 or so will be a fair price. Still, one of the top ones.
He's 0-for-5 this year, 1-for-10 lifetime. Running fifth, beaten by 12? lengths, in the Illinois Derby isn't exactly the ideal prep for the first Saturday in May. Forget it.
Would be a pace casualty, at best, in the Derby. Speed type tried a different style in the Derby Trial, but rating and making a late move was only good enough for a non-threatening third. Wait for a much easier spot.
He was up the track in the Arkansas Derby after being second and third at huge odds to stablemate Lawyer Ron in his previous two. Doesn't class up and should stay away from the big boys.
Baffert said he probably will be the wise guy horse of his three runners, and I agree. Looks like an improving colt, and he doesn't have to be near the front. Has a terrific distance pedigree (by Point Given out of a Broad Brush mare) and should relish 1 1/4 miles. Had only one 2-year-old race, which is a concern, and only two wins overall. He could be my pick, but I won't be super confident.
Looks like he was overrated off a few good 2-year-old runs. Showed very little in two races in Arkansas, and trying to win the Derby off only two 3-year-old preps isn't the way to go.
His career highlight was finishing less than two lengths behind Brother Derek when second in the Santa Catalina in March. Wiped himself out when he nearly fell at the start of the Santa Anita Derby. Not without talent, but only win in six starts came by DQ. Pass.
Canada-based colt was lost in the Blue Grass, plodding in more than 30 lengths behind wire-to-wire Sinister Minister. Ran second in a very weak Lane's End Stakes at Turfway, which was his only decent effort this year. Don't bother.
Put up a great battle with Barbaro in the Florida Derby. Unfortunately, he's among the many need-to-lead types. New York-bred appears to have a big future at 1 1/8 miles or shorter, but I can't see him hitting the board in Louisville.
This guy is undefeated (3-for-3) and unquestionably has a lot of talent. His problem is lack of experience, having not made his racing debut until Feb. 11. He showed a new dimension by coming from behind to win the Lexington at Keeneland. If he stays healthy, he should win a lot of races, but the Derby looks like way too much too soon.
He'll probably be in front the first time under the wire, but definitely not the second time. He could set Derby records for fastest fractions up to a mile, then backpedal. Won't win but should have a major impact on how the race shapes up. Could take a lot of good horses down with him.
Figs are so-so, but closing style gives him a chance to slip into the superfecta in third or fourth. Needs a pace meltdown and a clean run through the stretch, and he could be a poor man's Giacomo, getting up for third at 28-1 or so.
He ran a decent third to Barbaro in the Florida Derby after never getting into the race after being steadied into the first turn. Has a ton of upside but is still eligible for NW-2 allowances, so the Derby looks like a reach. Look for him to run well for Todd Pletcher at Belmont and Saratoga.
Ran like a demon in the Illinois Derby, and he might not be bet as heavily as he should be. His final figs and last two closing numbers are outstanding, and maybe he can join War Emblem and hit the Illinois Derby-Kentucky Derby double. Has a legit chance to win as an overlay.
Kentucky Derby television coverage begins Saturday, May 6 at 5 p.m. ET on NBC Sports.

Conocer a cada uno de sus estudiantes, no por esto me refiero a tener un relación personal con los participantes; conocerlos significa, el ritmo de aprendizaje que cada uno de ellos posee y su manera particular de aprender. Si un docente lograr desarrollar estás habilidades, puede tener un porcentaje alto de éxito en el desarrollo de su curso virtual.

- Musical Training Influences Education
Michael Manzano
Graduation Year: 2014
Music has been a part of the Western educational tradition since ancient times. The value of musical training has been recognized by scholars of the Classical, Medieval and Renaissance periods over hundreds of years. It was one of the Seven Liberal Arts which made up the components of a Classical Education and, in that tradition, it was closely linked with mathematics.
Numerous studies have been conducted over the years which link musical training to higher verbal and mathematical performance. Other studies demonstrate its positive impact on brain development.
A survey of the most recent literature shows more evidence of music's strong impact on brain development, academic performance, critical thinking, and even adult health.
Michael Manzano plans to obtain a position as a secondary level Social Studies teacher after graduation in 2014.

Skin Cancer Treatments Directory
The first step with skin cancer is to do a biopsy to be sure the skin problem is actually cancer. Once confirmed, many skin cancers can be surgically removed, frozen, or killed with radiation. Immunotherapy and chemotherapy are sometimes also used. Drugs such as interferon may help with advanced melanoma. Alternative treatments may help in alleviating treatment side effects, but they do not cure skin cancer. Dietary complementary treatments are being tested for effectiveness.

This is a great place to stay for a lot of reasons, but there also some aspects of this property—and Snowshoe as a whole that you need to be aware of.
We took a three bedroom, two bathroom condo in the Soaring Eagle complex. It was very nicely furnished, and eight of us were quite comfortable. There are three outdoor jacuzzis attached to the property, which is nice after a day of skiing. There is also the great room near the front desk to hang out in. It is 3-4 stories high, paneled in wood, with a large wood-burning fireplace, flat screen tv, and a wine bar that opens after 5.
The location can't be beat. It is right at the top of the mountain, so you can literally ski out from the complex. You don't even have to take the lift. You are at the top of the mountain, so you just put on your skis and GO. We had advanced and beginning skiers in our group, and this was fine for everyone. There is a black run going straight down the hill, but there is also a green run traversing the hill. So everyone's happy. The rental facilities are directly across from the complex, and rental equipment can be returned at any location on the mountain. There is night skiing in the Silver Creek area until 9 pm. You would need to take a (free) shuttle to get there.
When you stay at the Soaring Eagle, you park your car in the underground *locked* complex. In fact, the whole idea of the Soaring Eagle is security, capital S. You are given card keys to use, and you will need them to access:
--the door into the property
--the elevator
--your hallway, if you are on the ground floor
--the locker room area
--your room
--the Jacuzzis
In other words, you'll be using these keys all the time. And for whatever reason, these cards are constantly malfunctioning. I recommend that when you check in, you get one for each member of your party, and then a few extras. We had members of our party out skiing whose cards stopped working, so they couldn't get back into the condo at lunch. Well, why didn't they just use their cell phones? Glad you asked!!!
Snowshoe is in a National Quiet Zone, because it contains the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. There is *no* cell phone reception—not even with AT & T (other posters have mentioned this, but it isn't true—eight of us had AT & T and no one got reception. I got a glimmer once and sent a text, but it failed to send.)
I recommend that if you have a group that you want to stay in contact with, you use walkie talkies.
That means there is also no wi-fi. Now, personally, I see this as a positive. If I take my darling children skiing, the last thing I want them to be doing is texting friends and staring at screens. A break from the internet is a good and healthy thing. Be aware though, that you can request cables from the front desk (free) and hook up your computer for internet if you need it. Sigh.
A word about the staff. They were incredibly helpful. There was literally not enough they could do for us. Extra keys? No problem! You haven't checked in? Let me open up the garage—I'll run right down. We asked for extra towels and trash bags, and a hefty bag full of them were delivered to our door within the hour. We also asked for a potholder, as there wasn't one in the condo, and it was there very quickly. The staff are responsive, quick, and helpful.
A word about groceries. Soaring Eagle no longer has a grocery (this is as of 2012). They used to, but the restaurant changed ownership, and they closed the grocery. The closest place to buy groceries is 30 minutes away. And they don't sell wine or beer there. So, BYOB.
All in all a good stay—one I would repeat.

text: Receptor tyrosine kinases have the N-terminal domain exposed outside of the cell, a single trans membrane domain and a C-terminal domain having tyrosine kinase activity. When a particular hormone or ligand binds to its extracellular N-terminal domain, it induces a conformational change in the intracellular domain. This leads to the dimerization of the receptors. The receptors then cross phosphorylate each other on the OH group of specific tyrosine residues on the C-terminal domains. This auto phosphorylation thus activates the phosphotyrosine kinases which in turn phosphorylates other protein substrates and amplifies the hormonal signal.

All Rise...
Appellate Judge James A. Stewart says this movie about Clouseau doppelgangers isn't just Chief Inspector Dreyfus's nightmare.
The Charge
"You don't look like a detective, do you?"—Weaver
Opening Statement
The detective that Alan Arkin (Freebie and the Bean) is trying hard to resemble is Peter Sellers's classic creation, Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Sellers and Clouseau creator Blake Edwards dropped out of their Surete spoofing series after two entries (The Pink Panther and A Shot in the Dark), but its success (the two modest movies took in more than $10 million each) spawned this second sequel, helmed by Bud Yorkin (Come Blow Your Horn).
Facts of the Case
Inspector Clouseau begins with a sign of The Times—literally, since it's plastered on a truck for the famed London daily. It says "Tension at No. 10." The truck passes No. 10 Downing Street just as a government figure leaves, besieged by reporters after a tense meeting with the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, Inspector Clouseau disembarks from a plane just landed in London. He's on a secret mission and, despite the advice of his English counterparts, goes through customs to maintain his cover, which is blown by all the weaponry the officials find on him. Seems there's been a 2.5 million pound train robbery and Scotland Yard can't get very far because of a leak, so they've brought in an outsider. The theory is that the bad guys are planning a larger crime with the capital from the train job.
The Evidence
Alan Arkin's first scene as Clouseau is a promising start, with the detective realizing that he's left his shoes on the plane and returning to get them (it's not that simple, of course). The pantomime scene shows Clouseau in classic hapless but determined form.
After that, the movie kind of wanders, since it doesn't know exactly what to do with its hero without Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers on hand to do the steering. You get some spy spoof gags like a laser cigarette lighter, some mild sex-farce shenanigans about Clouseau trying to evade the attentions of Weaver's wife while trying to get time alone with the man's comely maid, a doppelganger plot twist straight out of The Avengers, and a caper that seems vaguely reminiscent of Diabolik.
There are some good scenes, like a car chase in which both Clouseau and his quarry are stumped by roadside obstacles, but there's little of the inventiveness that Sellers and Edwards brought to the character. Instead, Inspector Clouseau becomes a Sixties pastiche. By the 1990s, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery could bring in a breath of fresh air by replaying these familiar images, but this movie doesn't have the ironic underscore of changing times behind it.
Alan Arkin's Clouseau seems childish—he finds himself arguing with British counterpart Weaver (Frank Finlay, The Three Musketeers) over a game of jacks—and arrogant as he boasts about crime-solving abilities that quickly appear dubious. His fake French accent seems too much like an imitation of Sellers's voice, rather than a new interpretation, underscoring the derivative nature of the movie. Instead of trying to roll with and cover for disasters, he seems oblivious to them. This makes for an interesting scene late in the movie as the weight of Clouseau's bumbling hits his consciousness at once, but keeps him from becoming a likeable striver as in Sellers movies. Still, Arkin fares better in later scenes, when it's clear even to Clouseau that the baddies have the upper hand and he gets a chance to play the underdog.
The movie doesn't do much with its supporting players, a roster that includes Anthony Ainley, Patrick Cargill, and Barry Foster. Actress Beryl Reid (The Killing of Sister George) is merely the butt of jokes as Weaver's Scottish wife, and leading lady Delia Boccardo (The Assisi Underground) is attractive, but bland.
The picture isn't bad, since care was taken to remaster the sixties Technicolor. The sound is adequate, but it seems that even composer Henry Mancini ditched Inspector Clouseau. As for extras, forget it; not even a Pink Panther cartoon.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
If you're curious enough to check this movie out, you'll find that it's not a complete disaster, just redundant and derivative. Even so, it probably had a decent lifespan as a two-hour filler flick on independent stations in the pre-Fox days.
Closing Statement
I didn't hate Inspector Clouseau. I even got a few smiles, since I liked most of the movies and TV shows it cribs from. Still, if you're curious about Alan Arkin's antics, rent it or wait for it to turn up as an Inspector Closeout in the bargain bin.
The Verdict
Guilty. Peter Sellers might have won this copycat caper an acquittal, but Alan Arkin couldn't clear it of the charge of mediocrity.

Hutson Participates in Sports for Community Summit
Hutson participates in Sports for Community Summit
Justin Hutson enters his third season of his second stint at San Diego State after returning to Montezuma Mesa following a two-year stay at UNLV where he was the associate head coach. This year is his eighth overall at SDSU (2006-11, 2013-present).
When Hutson returned in April of 2013, he reunited with Fisher, Brian Dutcher, Mark Fisher, David Velasquez and Matt Soria, a group with which he spent five seasons. During their tenure, the Aztecs went to the postseason five times and averaged 25.4 wins per year, which included six postseason victories. In 2009, SDSU advanced to the NIT semifinals and reached the 2011 NCAA Sweet 16 en route to a 34-3 record and a No. 6/11 (AP/Coaches) final ranking. At the Mountain West level, the Aztecs won the 2010 and 2011 tournament titles and the 2011 regular season.
Hutson was part of a staff that set numerous school records and in the last three years of his first tenure, Hutson took on the role of defensive coordinator and helped SDSU lead the MW in scoring defense in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Upon his return, Hutson helped the 2013-14 team to a 31-5 record, an MW regular-season title, an appearance in the Sweet 16 and a final national ranking of No. 13/12. Last year, he coached SDSU to a 27-9 mark, another MW regular-season crown and a spot in the NCAA third round.
Defensively, the Aztecs have been one of the best in the nation, finishing second in scoring defense the last two years and posting top-10 efforts in field-goal percentage defense (8th in 2014, 7th in 2015). San Diego State also produced the fifth-best three-point percentage defense in 2014 and the 16th-best effort in 2015.
In both of his stints, Hutson has played a pivotal part in San Diego State's recruiting efforts as the team's recruiting coordinator. He was instrumental in securing a pair of nationally recognized recruiting classes, including the No. 15 class leading into the 2009-10 campaign, which included 2011 NBA first-round draft pick Kawhi Leonard and four-year starter Chase Tapley. That class was also rated the top group among non-automatic qualifying BCS schools by a pair of recruiting sites. Joining that class was Washington State transfer Xavier Thames, who ended up being a 2014 NBA draft pick and MW Player of the Year. Hutson also recruited Jamaal Franklin, a two-time All-American, and 2013 NBA draft pick of the Memphis Grizzlies. The 2014-15 incoming class, his first of his second stint at SDSU, meanwhile, was regarded as a top-15 class and this year, he helped secure a pair of four-star players.
In a poll among Division I coaches conducted by ESPN's Jeff Goodman in the summer of 2013, Hutson was considered the eighth-best recruiting assistant nationally and the best on the West Coast. More recently, ESPN's Adam Finkelstein listed Hutson as a top up-and-coming recruiter (May 2014) and Miles Simon placed him on his west region ultimate coaching staff (May 2014).
Prior to his decision to return to San Diego State, Hutson helped UNLV to a pair of 25-plus-win seasons and two NCAA tournament appearances. He played a key role in helping the Rebels bring in a highly regarded recruiting class in 2012-13, which included the 2013 No. 1 overall NBA draft selection, Anthony Bennett, a player he recruited.
Before arriving at SDSU in July 2006, Hutson served as an assistant coach at Cal Poly.
The Mustangs went 10-19 in 2005-06, doubling their previous season's win total. He was responsible for recruiting the 2006 Big West Freshman of the Year and landing two freshmen on the Big West all-freshmen team, along with bringing two first-team all-Big West selections and the defensive player of the year to San Luis Obispo in 2006-07.
Prior to his stint at Cal Poly, Hutson served as the head varsity coach at Bakersfield High where he led the Drillers to a CIF Central Section title and four appearances in the playoffs in four seasons. His 2004 team was ranked as high as No. 22 in the nation and fourth in California, while his 2003 squad finished the season with a 25-5 record and won the section title. Prior to entering the high school ranks, he was an assistant coach at his alma mater CSU Bakersfield for two seasons (1999-00).
As a collegiate player, Hutson enjoyed a storied career, winning two NCAA Division II championships at CSU Bakersfield. In the 1993 championship season, the Roadrunners were undefeated with a 33-0 record and followed that up with a 27-6 record during the 1994 season.
A native of Bakersfield, Hutson earned his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1994 and a teaching credential in 1995 from CSU Bakersfield. He also received his master of arts in education from CSU Bakersfield in 2009.

ARLINGTON -- Ervin Santana worked seven innings and Mike Napoli homered as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Rangers 7-4 in Texas.
Santana settled down after the Rangers scored three times in the
first to take a 3-2 lead. Santana pitched shutout ball over the
next six frames and improved to 2-and-0.
Napoli tied the game with a leadoff blast in the fifth before
Vladimir Guerrero added an RBI double and Garret Anderson followed
with a run-scoring single later in the inning.
Casey Kotchman drove in two runs for the Angels, who had lost
seven of their previous eight meetings with the Rangers.
Hank Blalock hit a two-run homer for Texas.
Francisco Rodriguez threw just seven pitches to post a
one-inning save.
Jason Jennings is 0-and-3 with an 8.79 ERA after yielding six
earned runs and seven hits in only four and two-thirds.

When using Google Chrome extension alarms, the alarm will go off if it was set and Chrome is closed and reopened after the time expires for the alarm.
How can I stop this?
Here is a small code sample to explain what I mean.
If we perform Browser Action to create alarm, then
close the browser, wait about 2 minutes for the alarm to expire
and then reopen the browser, the alarm will go off and the DoSomething
function will get called twice, once by the onStartup event and once
by the onAlarm event.
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
chrome.alarms.create('myAlarm', {
delayInMinutes : 2.0
chrome.alarms.onAlarm.addListener(function (alarm) {
console.log('Fired alarm!');
if (alarm.name == 'myAlarm') {
chrome.runtime.onStartup.addListener(function () {
console.log('Extension started up...');
function DoSomething() {
alert('Function executed!');
So if you will read the comment at the top of my code sample you will see what happens.
What I want though, is for the alarm to get cleared if the browser is closed as I want the DoSomething function to get executed only by the onStartup event if the browser is just started, and let the alarm execute the DoSomething function only after the browser is started and my code creates a new alarm.
I never want an alarm to stay around after the browser is closed and then execute onAlarm when the browser is reopened.
How can achieve this?

I want to use a conditional like: if is the parent category pages show the sidebar "parent", if is children category pages show the sidebar "children".
I have trouble to create the conditional for this. Should I make two different templates one for parent and one for children, the issue is always how to call them?

|Called the Icons Series, it's a one-off set of officially licensed tees illustrated by artist Mitch, known by many for his work in the music industry -- Amp Fiddler, Bugz in the Attic, Incognito, The Bees, and Howie B are just a few of the musicians he's worked with.
As seen here, for the Star Wars Icons Series, the artist's signature style accurately captures the essence of Boba Fett--not surprising, since the artist counts Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie among his earliest influences (see the artist profile below). And like fine art, the t-shirts come packaged in an illustrated custom box -- no cheap metal hangers here.

Smackdown Winner: Holeman & Finch
Holeman & Finch takes the prize with a charcuterie plate that is simply without fault, and delightfully Southern to boot. It is a plate that manages to be elegant and down-home, delicate and powerful, inviting and intoxicating. It is simply most excellent among a field of many excellent contenders.
Runners-up: Empire State South, Pura Vida
Not far behind, and I mean just a hair behind our winner, are two more great choices for charcuterie in Atlanta. The plates at both of these contenders brilliantly evoke the ethos of their respective restaurants. Empire State South shows a firm willingness to take risks and expand upon the traditional Southern charcuterie plate. Pura Vida's charcuterie is bold and uniquely influenced by Hector Santiago's Puerto Rican heritage and playful Latin cuisine.
Second runner-up: Abattoir
At Abattoir, where the name itself almost demands a good charcuterie program, it's a unique artistry with spice and fruit that transports you beyond the basic notion of sliced meat on the plate. We loved the country pâté, and the head cheese was a paragon of nuance and flavor, although one judge found it a tad salty.
Heading up the rear: Local Three
Now we must address the contender who fell well short of the rest. Local Three's charcuterie is frequently the subject of rave reviews from that restaurant's devoted fans. The Polish sausage certainly warrants praise, and the violet mustard is a small but smart key element to the plate. But when the competition is this tough, faults in texture or flavor are very tough to overcome, and Local Three fell short in several respects — a bland ham, an unappealing terrine, a greasy messy cotechino.
The Wrap
Atlanta is fortunate to have such a strong burgeoning charcuterie scene, from these restaurants that invest heavily in their programs to chefs that are trying out one or two things at a time. A year or two from now, we may have a whole slew of new competitors fighting for the crown of best charcuterie plate. Until then, we can all reap the rewards of having so many chefs in town who care about charcuterie and proudly wear the "made in house" badge.

Can CY recover next year? Certainly they wont go below 8$
I listened to the CES conf yesterday. Essentially, end demand tapered off the last two weeks of the year. This was due to lack of orders from end customers. Since CY doesn't recognize sales revenue until the stuff leaves the distributor, the impact to top line was immediate.
Some semi's recognize revenue when stuff is sent to the distributors. CY doesn't.
Note also that 4th qtr earnings has some Ramtron acquisition charges in it that won't repeat; as well as inventory writedowns.
Note the timing; last two weeks of 2012; during the over hyped Fiscal Cliff fiasco.
As to the Conference Call you listened to recently----last year, probably in the middle of year---two people in the Audience questioned Mr. Brad Buss and pointed out to Mr. Buss that he was spending the most time on the 20% of the business that was doing good and the 80% that was not doing good he just touched on.
jbartram-I don't know your financial education--but that is what is known as "deception." Some of the statements you make about CY is deception that you read about and pass on to this Board.
Mr. Bosse that just posted on this "thread" is correct----Mr. Buss told us that Q1 2012 was the "trough." If the CEO and the CFO did not know that the "macro" Economic Conditions were already here in 2012 and getting worse--they should be fired by the BOD! C'mon--. Get real!
The Village Idiot Mayor-CBS/cbs
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I think if you look back to last yrs comments in Q1 you will see Buss said Q1(2012) was the bottom.
Wouldn't put much faith in what he says anymore.
lettucecometogether--During the Tech Bubble Burst in the late 1990's early 2000's CY went from $58/share to $3+ per share in pretty short order. Some of the same CY Lovers that are on this Board as lately as 2 days ago took a huge loss---and have still not learned that when a CEO says "I'm holding" it is a good sign.
As to can CY recover next year---I would point out that the leader of Germany, Ms. Merkel, states every day in the News media that Germany and the rest of the Euro Zone are in dire straits! China, Japan and the Middle East too! As I write the Fed Reserve of the USA is dumping 40 Billion Dollars a month into the Economy; and, the Fed Funds Rate is 0%---that figure alone should tell you that there is no growth to amount to anything expected by the Fed Reserve.
Now is not a good time for investors to be "butting their heads" against the Wall and fighting the trend.
Good luck to you--I hope you make billions of dollars.
Your Village Idiot Mayor---in his mustang_Pee 51

Good Morning. I do not want to change themes as I've put many hours into this nice theme- just upgrade it.
If I download a .zip WP theme file that is the "Pro" version for WordPress.org, do you think it would merely overlay on the same existing theme "Lite" version without disturbing any of the existing post or page work I've done?
I don't know a lot but I can follow directions ! I'm hoping to go through the WordPress dashboard (appearance->themes->install themes->upload)hosted by Dreamhost and find step by step directions with the upgrade.
Thanks so very much.

Achievement Roadmap
This Roadmap is only for Xbox360achievements.org and may not be copied or anything else. (it's mine and not yours)
Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10
Estimated time for 1000: 15/20 hours.
Minimum playthroughs: 1
Missable achievements: The 9 DAHM achievements (105http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg)
glitched achievements: so far none.
offline: 42
online: 0
cheats disable achievements: no
difficulty affects achievements: no
This is an easy game to complete but it's a pain in the ass to complete because of the ammount of bugs and the out-date graphics. the achievements are only single player so you won't need a friend to play with you.
First you need the Maps to check all the items you find because it is really hard to find that only one after completion (believe me). You'll find also the DAHM places on these maps. if you somehow still manage to mis some collectables, try destroying houses because there might be one between them.
When you are playing the story, try to find as many collectables in a map. You can travel back to places you've been before but it is faster. Also complete the odd jobs, challenges and activate all the landing zones.
When you kill a human you will get DNA. you will probably get your first of 3 DNA achievements in Paradiso witch is Biologist 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg by getting an total of 10000 DNA, the 2nd one in Shen Long Biochemist 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg , and the last one around game completion Brain Surgeon 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg .
There are 4 hand weapon achievements and 2 saucer achievements. just shock (zap-o-matic), probe (anal probe), bounce (superballer) and feed (venus human trap) 100 humans for: Shock Trooper 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg , Proctologist 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg , Horticulturist 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg and Furoball Dribbler 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg . For the saucer you must liquify 100 buildings with the death ray and take 100 airborne enemies with the seeker drones for: Furon in the Sky 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg and Flyswatter 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg .
by activating all the landingzones you get Sacred Son of Arkvoodle 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg . if you have completed half of all the odd jobs you'll get Pox's Apprentice 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg and by completing them all you get the emperor's Agent 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg.
Los paradiso
after a couple minutes of gameplay you'll get your first achievement when you've killed 15 mobsters: Sleeps with the Fishes 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. When you complete all the story quests in Las Paradiso you will get High Roller 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg.

practicly the same as in Los Paradiso. Kill 15 Lunarian Thugs and you'll earn: THQ 1138 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. for the DAHM achievements: Destroy SUNNY in the Sunnywood sign for The 'Wood 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. Destroy several humans within 3 seconds with the globe to unlock Globeclotter 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. And throw an civilian through the donut hole to get Donut Holed 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. After completion of the story quest you get A-Lister 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. And when all collectables are collected you will have earned: Sunnywood Seeker 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg.
Shen Long:
Also the same as above besides the DAHM ones. Throw a lot of crates from the shipyard in to the air to get Definitely Not in Kansas for 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. Use the bowling ball to bowl over at least 3 monk. use Temporal Fist to aim. then you'll have Monkish Bowling 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. you'll have Fist of Furon 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Zen Master 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg and Shen Long Scout 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg by completion.

"A city among volcanoes" Top 5 Page for this destination Quito by toonsarah
Quito Travel Guide: 1,138 reviews and 3,192 photos
We spent four nights here at the start of our trip to Ecuador, a couple more between tours to various places in the north, and two more at the end of the trip. I grew to really like the city, and especially the contrast between its traffic-filled, somewhat manic newer areas and the colonial quarter at its heart.
The old colonial quarter is near Quito?s centre, at the foot of the small hill known as El Panecillo , from where the Virgin of Quito watches over the city. The modern city stretches both north and south from here, with the northern part being more affluent and containing the museums, shops, hotels, bars and restaurants most likely to attract visitors. Most choose to stay here, but we opted for a hotel in the colonial old town, which, though lacking the vibrant nightlife of the Mariscal district to its north, had a charm that appealed to us much more.
We spent most of our time here in the city?s colonial heart, which was one of the first two places in the world to be listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site (the other was Krakow in Poland). We visited many of its churches, people-watched in its attractive plazas, wandered its streets and ate in its restaurants at night.
But we did venture further afield at times. We were lucky enough to have friends in the city, or rather, the parents of a London friend, who had offered to spend time with us and introduce us to some parts of the city that they especially thought we would like. So with Betty and Marcello we enjoyed the views from El Panecillo, visited the Basilica and the Fundacion Guayasamin, shopped in the market and toured some of the outlying districts.
We also had some tours outside the city including a day trip to Otavalo, famous for its market and to the Mitad del Mundo monument which marks the line of the Equator; an overnight tour to Cotapaxi and Quilotoa, and another overnight stay at the lovely Termes de Papallacta.
But each time when we returned to our base in Quito, we felt we were coming home, and that for me is a sign of the city?s warm personality and rather special character. A place I am very glad to have visited.
I have linked these tips in an order that made sense to me (!), loosely based on moving in concentric circles out from the colonial heart of the city to its newer parts and beyond. So please start your tour with me with an overview of the city.

Hello, Sarah! I enjoyed reading this page about your experience in Quito...It seems as if I have paid a visit to this interesting city...Thanks for enlightening us on this amazing destination!
My trip will be here really soon, a little more than 2 weeks! I thought I should get on reading up on Quito :-)
Loved the flow of the page with breaks to eat in between the sightseeing. Great idea. Nice to finally see some of what you did in Ecuador. I remember talking about it what seems not so long ago but I can see that it really was now. Great stuff.
What a wonderful tour I've had! Love the Churches you saw, the architecture in this city, the views and the markets. Good food and Restaurants too! Sounds like you had a great time!
Thank you dear Sarah for a fascinating morning read :-)) I understand why you liked Quito so much. So colourful, so "Latin" :-)) I am extremely hungry now and would not mind to have a freshly squeezed fruit juice :-))
Another great page!
well worth the wait mrs toon! some really helpful info, and some points duly noted. i really do love the old colonial districts that most of south america's cities have. i definitely wont be missing quito's old town either! x
Wonderful page about Quito, and lovely view from your hotel. I love Quito and I'm happy I will visit again this year.
A great new page about Quito!
Wow, you have been busy, Sarah :) I think you are adding more tips as I read them. Chris has become quite the VT-model :) Fantastic page!

Attack on Kansas Jewish centers: Should you care?
Racism and anti-Semitism are two parts of the same "divide and conquer" strategy that the American right wing is using in an attempt to maintain political and economic control.
We remember Rubin Hurricane Carter

The war that won't go away

Released: Feb 27th, 2008
Running Time: 136 Min
Director: Vincent Voss
Company: Metro Distributors
Cast: Savannah Stern, Tabatha Tucker, Brad Hardy, Keeani Lei, Trent Soluri, Kylee Reese, Tricia Oaks, Christian X, Eva Angelina, John West, Joe Rock, Alex Sanders, Marco Banderas, Cassandra Cruz, Jenner, Van Damage
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Competition is good, especially oral competition. Tricia Oaks is the first to demo her talents. Interesting woman: When she talks, her lips never touch, yet when she begins her oral, she has the guy deep-throated in mere moments. She gets to a 28-count of holding it buried in her mouth before her eyes start to glaze over and subsequently nearly gag.
They all have different techniques and quirks. Kylee Reese is a bit unusual. When she takes it deep, her eyes tend to roll upwards and cross. Some do it sans hands, other use everything available. And Eva Angelina is very energetic and sloppy.
Eventually, this turns into a mass blow job orgy. Good stuff.
Retailing: Fans of blow jobs, gagging, deep throat and the like will be extremely pleased.
