School, safety officials learn defensive tactics in event of shooter on campus
"Active shooter" response
Authorities advise school staff and students to follow the acronym ALICE when reacting to campus violence:
Alert: Be aware of your surroundings and follow emergency notifications.
Lockdown: Stay inside, lock the door, silence cell phones and hide behind heavy objects.
Inform: Call 911; leave the line open if you cannot speak.
Counter: As a last resort, throw items, yell and act aggressively toward the assailant.
Escape: Evacuate when safe. Once outside, obey police orders.
A heavily armed gunman slips onto a school campus and mows down students and staff.
Scenes like that have played out repeatedly across the nation, including in this county, over the years. They prompted San Diego State University officials to host a two-day "active shooter" training course this week for school administrators and law enforcement across Southern California.
Officials said the course was scheduled before the Dec. 14 killing of 26 students and staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
One message of the training was that going on lockdown — the policy at many schools for a number of years — might not be the safest option. It could be better to run.
"If somebody is looking to kill, kill, kill, we want to do whatever we can to lower the body count," said Kerry Harris, a safety program instructor with Response Options, a critical-incident-response training company based in Texas.
Harris directed classroom training on Monday for about two dozen participants from SDSU, Vista Unified School District, the University of California San Diego, Cal State Los Angeles and Bakersfield, the University of San Diego, the city of Orange's Police Department and some private security firms.
The students plan to then train their own colleagues on the defensive tactics learned, including escape, confrontation and heeding security announcements.
"Part of the training is to get people to think about these things before they happen," said SDSU police Chief Lamine Secka.
He said there has been a major change in how police handle mass shootings. Years ago, it took hours for officers to set up a perimeter, call in SWAT and methodically sweep each room. Now, he said, the first officer on the scene is expected "to go in and do something about it."
San Diego County has experienced its share of mass shootings at schools. In 1979, Brenda Spencer killed two and wounded nine at a San Carlos elementary school. At SDSU in 1996, graduate student Frederick Davidson fatally shot three professors. In 2001, Charles "Andy" Williams killed two and wounded 13 at Santana High School in Santee, and Jason Hoffman wounded five at Granite Hills High in La Mesa. And in 2010, Brendan O'Rourke wounded two girls at Kelly Elementary in Carlsbad.
On Tuesday, the training participants put their training into action.
In a sort of macabre game of hide-and-seek, they split into groups with walkie-talkies and disappeared into various first-floor rooms of Olmeca residence hall at SDSU. Harris spoke on his radio: "Intruder alert! Gunman in the Olmeca lobby!"
The "gunman," Response Options trainer Bret Bandick, went looking for his targets while armed with an air pistol.
He stalked across the lobby to a lounge and hollered, "Hey, I'm going to kill all of you!" He rattled the doorknob and pushed on the door.
Those inside had shoved tables against the door. They kept low. Bandick shouted, "bang, bang, bang, bang" to simulate firing through the door, then roved other hallways and tried more doors.
Those in the lounge seized the chance to run outside. Finally, two role-playing "police" successfully fired at Bandick with air pistols.
The group repeated several scenarios to practice barricades and escapes.
Afterward, participant Jenna Hazleton, academic coordinator for residential education at SDSU, said the training made her sure she could do her part in an emergency. "I'd be trying to send text messages, get information to the students," Hazleton said.

As Veteran's Day nears, out thoughts of our US military and the legions of those who have served in generations past come to mind. We are reminded of their sacrifice, their loyalty and love for their country. So often our young sons and daughters don helmets and are deployed to far off corners of the planet Earth, embedded in cultures, climates, topography and conditions so foreign to their home.
One thing comforting is their view upwards.
No matter where on this globe they may be, they can look up and see the very same Sun, Moon and stars their loved ones at home see, and at certain times they and their families can connect at the very same moment, looking at the same points in the sky.
The longer nights we are experiencing as we in the Northern Hemisphere move towards winter, offer more of a window to establish that cosmic connection.
Kabul, Afghanistan, for instance, is 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA. For a soldier in Kabul and his or her family in northeastern Pennsylvania to both see sky at night, the soldier would need to perhaps be on guard duty in the wee hours before dawn, and family back home would need to look up in the early evening after dusk.
Around the time of Full Moon, which arrives November 17, the Moon would be low in the west at 5 a.m. in greater Kabul at the same moment it is low in the east at 7:30 p.m. in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The Moon, however, will be significantly shifted in respect to background stars, due to parallax. The Moon is a great deal closer than the stars, so the differing angles these two observers would look to see it would be enough to notice- if both of you were to snap a photo or make a careful sketch. Parallax measurements, by the way, can be used to tell the distance of the Moon or other object.
Likewise you can see the Sun at the same time as your loved one on a far off battlefield. The same golden sunshine can warm your faces at the same moment. Naturally the weather has to cooperate in both locales!
Of course this applies to others besides military on deployment.
If you have family on a far away vacation or work assignment, you could make plans to "look up" at the same time and be comforted with your cosmic connection.
Seeing the same stars at far distant points can be problematic if you are on different sides of the equator- even if you are near the same longitude. From the USA and Argentina, for example, many of the same constellations are in view at the same time, but for one of you they are "upside down." You two can battle it out which one sees them the right way up.
Page 2 of 2 - Someone stationed on the very North Pole and another at the very South Pole, would need to look up around the time of Autumnal or Spring Equinox for both to see any stars. At any other time of year, in one place the Sun is up, and the other, the Sun is down- around the clock. If you both could see stars, you'd each be seeing totally different stars since the northern half and southern half of the sky is split at the equator and you are on the very top (or bottom) of the globe.
First Quarter Moon is on November 10.

Deletes apps and their associated files.
AppDelete is an application for Macs that will delete the application you choose and any associated items (files and folders) that belong to that applicatioAppDelete will delete the application you choose and any associated items (files and folders) that belong to that application. Now you will no longer have to hunt through your system to find these items and delete them manually. Or worse, just let them sit on your Mac forever even though the application is long gone!
To run AppDelete just drag the application or folder containing the application you want to delete onto the AppDelete icon. You can also select from the main menu, right-click an item in the Finder using the AppDelete Automator workflow, or just drop an app in the Trash. An easy way is to keep AppDelete in your dock so you can drag your app or folder containing the app onto the icon in your dock. After doing this AppDelete will search your system to find the associated items. After clicking on "Delete" these items will be moved inside of a folder in the trash named "AppDelete" with the name of the app you dragged onto the icon. You can inspect this folder if you like before emptying the trash.
AppDelete also has a "Undo" feature, the ability to "Log only" for reference, it can search for invisible or "hidden" items, and more! And AppDelete keeps a log of all processing that it does.
Required OS: not specified

Haven't tried CleanApp that several people have mentioned, but I find this program to be much more thorough than AppZapper. And without the annoying "flashiness" either. Just does exactly what I want it to do.
Very handy little tool for pedantic people like me :)
I don't use AppDelete anymore since i got CleanApp, but i can just recommend it for everyone who wants to delete apps without risk =)
Hi this is Reggie the Developer. I just want to let everyone know that the latest version of AppDelete (Version 1.0.2) is available for download. There are a number of improvements and I believe it will address any issues mentioned here in the past. As always feel free to contact me directly through my site if you need to. Thank you for using AppDelete! :D
Note: I see the download link above is still the old link. You can download Version 1.0.2 from my website by clicking on the "Homepage" link above.
Works fine each times for me!...
Hi this is Reggie the Developer. I really appreciate all the feedback being posted here. It helps me to make AppDelete a better product. I want to let you know that I'm looking into this issue posted by ric0la. There is an update to AppDelete due out very soon and any necessary changes will be included in this update. If anyone needs to contact me directly you can do so through the "Homepage" link above. Thank you for using AppDelete!
Reggie Ashworth
You are right, ric0la, this doesn't handle Q.app well at all - then again, neither does AppZapper! CleanApp was the only one of the three to correctly identify the app and its prefs (perhaps due to the new background monitoring feature it has introduced?)
Whenever I use AppDelete, I always check the files it has moved to the trash and use the automatic undo if there are any that shouldn't be there. Fingers crossed that this app (or one of the others!) can be developed to the point of being truly reliable, rather than just an aid as they are now.
This is a nice little find that seems to work every bit as well as the "big players" when it comes to deleting an app and its associated files.
AppDelete has a very simple interface and lacks the extra features offered by AppZapper and CleanApp, such as the ability to browse files by last use, list plug-ins, etc. You simply drop an app onto AppDelete and confirm you want to trash it - it doesn't list the associated files for you as the others do. Instead, a folder is placed in the trash for the deleted app and this in turn contains sub-folders showing where each deleted file was removed from, making it possible to restore any files to their original location. There is also an undo option to put everything back automatically if you want.
Now, in using all three of the apps I have mentioned I have found differences in the files they successfully locate for different apps. It appears that no one app is 100% reliable but one thing I have found to be true - AppDelete is capable of cleaning up files that the others miss. It wasn't the first to the party, nor is it the flashiest but this humble little freeware quietly gets the job it sets out to do done.
Well worth checking out!
Hi this is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. I really appreciate all of the feedback here and thank you for your interest! I do listen to and value all feedback and any problems or complaints I take very seriously. Feel free to contact me through my site if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer. Or if you have any suggestions for improvement. I'm especially interested in the last post by bodytechnician...it would be great if you would email me and let me look into the results that you had so if there needs to be an improvement I can make it! :D Thanks again everyone...
Pro: AppDelete won't delete anything unconnected with the app you select.
Con: It won't find every file created by the app. Some things will be left, and you still have to search for them & delete them yourself. Growl tickets, preference files, etc. are sometimes left behind. If you want to thoroughly clean delete all useless files, don't bother with AppDelete. It's slow to find the files, you can do it quicker yourself. But if you don't care about that, and are happy with partial cleanup, no problem.
To Find All Leftover Files: Open a Finder window. In the sidebar, select Macintosh HD. In the search field at the top of the window, enter the name of the app. Trash lefteovr files. Repeat the search using the developer's name, or the company's name, or their website's name, to find more files. AppDelete only finds the ones using the name of the app itself, and not always all of those.

PARKER - With 10 seconds to go, Huskies coach David Cope took off his jacket and raised his arms in triumph.
And then there were two.
Battle Mountain soccer danced to a 2-1 win against Broomfield on Wednesday night at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker, in its maiden voyage to the state semifinals. The Huskies return to the Front Range for the 4A state final against Palmer Ridge, the No. 1-ranked team in the state and 5-0 winners over Mullen, for the first of two games here at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
"I am so happy," said Roberto Diaz, who had the game-winner in the second half. "It's amazing. First time ever."
"This is pretty sweet," Cope said. "The first thing that has to be mentioned is the fans. They made it a home game again. When there's five minutes left and the guys are digging deep for the last bit of fitness and think about why you're playing, and there are hundreds of kids in the stands, it's just tremendous.
"The boys showed heart. We've got some depth and some determination. I think we've got a little bit of quality, too."
Yes, they do. And it doesn't hurt if Casey Cope eats a Krispy Kreme before the game. That may be a little over the top, but go with it. The Huskies are a stunning 19-0.
"I don't care that I got a goal," said Heivan Garcia, who indeed scored the first of the match. "We worked so hard to go to the finals. As long as we won, it doesn't matter."
As bright as the lights are and as big as the stage is at the 4A Final Four, the Huskies kept it simple. They used the width of the pitch - a healthy 78 yards here; it's 80 back in Edwards - to play their game. Alex Trujillo worked it to the left side of the endline and cut for the Broomfield goal. The junior timed his pass perfectly. Garcia ran through the box and one-timed the feed, crushing it into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead in the 19th minute.
Broomfield did have a golden chance earlier in the half. The Eagles clanked one off the left post and missed the the ensuing open net.
The Eagles finally cracked the seal during the 46th minute on a long throw-in, which Broomfield senior Clay Fiscus dumped into the back of the net.
Though Huskies keeper Christian Espinoza probably wanted that save opportunity back, he made a brilliant save on Broomfield's Connor Metzger just minutes later. That proved to be a momentum shift.
"We had to keep our cool," Garcia said. "We've come back twice in the playoffs. We knew it wasn't over."
Nope. Diaz struck in the 53rd on a corner kick from David Suarez.
"We played as a team," Diaz said. "We did it."
And all this greatly pleased Battle Mountain's faithful. Though Sports Authority Stadium in Parker is a neutral site, the trip here was a lot easier for Eagles fans. Nonetheless, Huskies fans outnumbered their Broomfield counterparts in size and voice in a showing reminiscent of last week's quarterfinals in Evergreen.
"We travel like Notre Dame," Cope joked before the game.

Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg took to Facebook to let friends and others know she, her family and colleagues were booked on the Asiana flight that crashed and burned Saturday at San Francisco International Airport but had switched to a United Airlines flight to get frequent-flyer miles.
"Taking a minute to be thankful and explain what happened," Sandberg posted on her Facebook page. "My family, colleagues Debbie Frost, Charlton Gholson and Kelly Hoffman and I were originally going to take the Asiana flight that just crash-landed. We switched to United so we could use miles for my family's tickets.
"Our flight was scheduled to come in at the same time, but we were early and landed about 20 minutes before the crash. Our friend Dave David Eun was on the Asiana flight, and he is fine.
"Thank you to everyone who is reaching out -- and sorry if we worried anyone," she added. "Serious moment to give thanks."
Sandberg, who wrote the best-selling book "Lean In," her manifesto for women in the workplace, posted photos from South Korea showing women with "Lean In" messages.

In completing this part regarding staffing levels related to FOIA/PA matters, you should be careful to pay full attention to Line 2 as well as Line 1. Line 1 simply asks for the number of personnel who are involved in FOIA/PA matters full-time. Line 2 asks for the number of personnel who have only part-time or occasional FOIA duties (even if merely sporadic), expressed in total numbers of work-years. For example, if your bureau had four employees working full-time on FOIA matters and three employees with part-time FOIA responsibilities, it would simply specify "4" on Line l.
To complete Line 2, however, you would have to determine, and then total, the individual work-year percentages for the three employees working on FOIA matters only part-time. If the first employee devoted an estimated 10 percent of her time to the FOIA, the second employee 30 percent of his time, and the third employee 15 percent of her time, then that would total 55 percent of a work-year. So for Line 2, you would enter ".55 work-years." Your entry for Line 3 would be "4.55 work-years." You will arrive at a figure for Line 3 by adding the number in Line 1 to the number (which could be zero) in Line 2.
In filling out this part, you are asked to provide three figures, based upon your bureau's best ability to calculate the costs of your FOIA activities. Line 1 seeks the total costs of FOIA-processing activities, including appeals. In completing it, you are asked to include the costs of your bureau's staffs "and all resources" that are devoted to these activities. To arrive at a comprehensive figure for this, your bureau must do its best to estimate the costs of these resources -- which may include such items as photocopying, postage, data-processing services, and other items of overhead that are reasonably allocable to your bureau's FOIA operations.
For Line 2, bureaus are likewise asked to provide estimates of the costs of their litigation-related FOIA activities. Such estimates should take into account the full range of the bureau's efforts that are undertaken in support of a FOIA litigation case, including attorney coordination with declarants, additional subject-matter experts, and other bureau program personnel.
Additional resources are needed from the Mint's Office of the Chief Information Officer in order to comply with E-FOIA mandates.
If a continual FOIA backlog exists in your bureau because of a lack of FOIA resources, you are encouraged to include a statement here.

A coloring book is only the beginning of a learning journey a parent should embark on early in their child's life. While most children benefit from art classes in school, learning basic skills like cutting, pasting and coloring inside the lines can and should be taught at home as well. Ask Pat Swearingen, lower school art teacher at Wichita Collegiate School, who has found that children entering her class with at least some prior experience with art skills at home are often able to stay more focused and are more successful in her class.
Young students need to discover on their own how scissors and paper can be tools for creativity. Swearingen encourages parents to ask their young children to describe what they made to them, rather than superimposing their own opinions of what the young student created. Often, children are taught to cut with scissors by simply cutting straight pre-drawn lines, but Swearingen encourages parents to work with their children on creating shapes using a line of symmetry. The holidays are a wonderful time to explore arts and crafts, and create personal gifts for family.
In this video, Swearingen creates jack-o-lanterns in a craft that could be performed for children over the age of four. This simple activity could also be useful for creating round Christmas ornament cut-outs, square presents, and hearts for Valentine's Day.

Rugby may be a gentleman's game, but Summit High's ladies were being far from lady-like on the field during Saturday's state championship bout with Castle Rock.
But, that's what it takes to take a fifth straight state title home from Glendale's Infinity Park to Summit County - and fourth straight win over Castle Rock in the finals.
The Tigers won, 30-5, but not before enduring being slammed onto the field in a hard-fought game.
Summit was expecting a physical game, and the team dealt one right back to the Rockets, who wanted the upset - badly. After losing to Summit in two shutouts in the regular season, and points against totaling 91, they didn't want the Tigers to score, much less win.
The Rockets allowed the Tigers to lead the possession game in the first half, but largely stopped them at the middle of the field. They shut down senior Maddy Hunt-Snyder, who was frustrated in her attempts to take off for the try.
"She was frustrated, but it was cool to see her lead and set up opportunities and Hailey (Wyatt) and Becca (Rosco) took over," head coach Karl Barth said.
The Rockets couldn't cover the whole field, though, and by halftime, freshman Rosco had beaten two defenders to the outside endzone - twice - and Morgan Courtney found another hole, diving in to touch the ball down for a try, making the score 15-0. None of the extra points were converted.
As players on both sides began to lose steam midway through the game, Castle Rock put Summit's defense on its heels for a try that also went unconverted. Senior Katy Peoples responded not long after by grabbing the ball from the ruck, stiff-arming her defense on the run and passing to Rosco, who managed to get the ball off, moving the ball to where Wyatt waited, wide open and ready to use her speed to outrun defenders to touch the ball down just outside the uprights from the right wing.
Castle Rock fought for possession in the last minutes of the game, making drives at the Tiger endzone, only to be stopped when entering Summit's defending third of the field.
A breakaway later in the game put Chelsea Christianson in the position of kicking the ball downfield, chasing it as she went, eventually kicking it into the end zone to be chased by Lilly Weldon for the touch. Before Weldon could reach the ball, the Rockets played Courtney and not the ball, forcing the referees to award a penalty try to the Tigers.
Later, Wyatt sealed the win with a pass from Rachel Fitch and took off down the field, looking over her shoulder to make sure her two defenders were fading away before cutting inside for the touch down and better field position for the kick (though again unsuccessful).
Summit ran its trophy around the field, celebrating to Queen's "We are the Champions" playing on the stadium's sound system.
"(Castle Rock) upped their ante for this game," Barth said. "They came out here with nothing to lose and they fired it up."
In the pre-game awards session, Summit had 14 players named all-state, Peoples was awarded Student Athlete of the Year by the Colorado Rugby Board and Hunt-Snyder was voted Player of the Year by the league's coaches. The junior varsity team earned the sportsmanship award, and a handful of players received all-state status.

PC Magazine Posts A Very Positive Review of Sun Fire X4150 Server
By chhandomay on Feb 27, 2008
|PC Magazine
has posted a very positive review
on the Sun Fire X4150
server as side
bar to a round up review of other SMB-focused x64 servers.
The review praises the powerful features and functions that are included in such a small box -- stating that "Sun has kept its new Sun Fire in a 1U enclosure but has sacrificed absolutely nothing in the way of hardware or management features, building a box capable of competing with servers twice its size."
The review wraps up mentioning "... the Sun box would have blown the doors off anything else here" and Sun "deserves kudos for managing all this in a box this small."
PS: Had we known this opportunity in time, we would have sent a similarly configured and priced Sun Fire X4150 server that would have blown the doors off others anyway.
PPS: If you don't believe it, try it out free for 60 days via our Try & Buy program. You pick the configuation (and price range, we're sure you're going to buy it once you try... )

News 12 was at Aiken's Wal-Mart when your donations went to help a family from New Orleans.
It's not how Sherri Stewart expected to meet her New Orleans neighbors, at the Red Cross in Aiken.
Sherri, Spencer and Blake Stewart are living in Aiken with family after Hurricane Katrina took Spencer's job and their house.
"It's terrible. It's like we've been erased," Sherri said.
The Stewarts came to the Red Cross tent at Aiken's Wal-Mart for help Friday.
"You can't not help these people," said Kelly Swart, Red Cross.
Immediately the Atlanta Bread Company gave them lunch and offered Spencer a temporary job. The Red Cross took them to their Aiken headquarters to get supply money today.
Thanks to so many donations from you, it's a start for a family trusting God for their future.
"We know God's in control and he'll make us much better people through this," Spencer said.
"We got good people here. We got good people all over," Kelly Swart said.
Spencer worked as the computer programmer for a hotel in the French Quarter. If you know of a computer programmer job, please call the Aiken Red Cross at 803-641-4152.

Anybody else seriously bummed by this latest stock market run-up? Because I am.
Remember when we could enjoy a good market ride into the stratosphere, the days when we were confident there was no place to go but up? But now, after living through the dot-com bust and the Wall Street shenanigans that destroyed our economy, we know that the only thing a soaring market means is trouble.
Speaking for myself, I can't say the market disasters of the 2000s have left me more sophisticated. They have, however, left me a lot more wary. So when I look at all the excitement over the Dow closing at record highs seven times in a row and notching its most consecutive positive sessions (nine) since 1996, I don't feel butterflies in my stomach. I feel a pit.
First, let's consider why the market is shooting up like Mentos-infused Diet Coke. One reason is that companies are doing great. They are hauling in money hand over fist. Many are sitting on piles of cash that would make Scrooge McDuck blush. When companies look good, their stocks look good.
Second, with interest rates scraping bottom, there are few places to invest money for any sort of potential return. So, hey, how about a few shares of Cisco (CSCO)?
And up the Dow goes, soaring past 14,000, to heights never reached (well, if you don't fool with adjusting for inflation and such). But happy days aren't here again -- not for most of us. Unemployment, while improving, remains troublingly high. Workers' wages remain stalled, while corporate profits continue to rise radically.
It's no wonder this run-up feels nothing like the irrational exuberance of the late 1990s, says Josh Bevins, research and policy director of the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank that studies the needs of low- and middle-income workers. In the 1990s, even workers who didn't own stock were energized by rising indexes.
"I think people felt, even if I don't own a lot of stock -- and most people don't own a lot of stock -- they heard the stock market was going up every day," he says. "They felt pretty secure in their jobs, and they were actually seeing some wage increases. This time, it's going up while wages are stagnant and employment feels very precarious."
So this time, instead of being filled with the wonder that we are on some sort of economic power run, looking at Dow 14,000-plus has me thinking again about what a bunch of chumps most of us are.
We do the work that powers corporate profits. In fact, U.S. productivity continues to increase, meaning American workers are getting more done than ever before. That's one reason companies don't have to hire anyone, which is one reason unemployment is barely budging.
And even though we're the ones who are stoking the boiler of the corporate profit gravy train, we're not sharing in the rewards. The New York Times reports that corporate profits make up a bigger slice of national income than they have since 1950. And workers' pay? It's at its lowest percentage of national income since 1966.
"It is clearly the case that corporate profits, as a share of the overall economy are either very high, or the highest ever, depending on how you measure it," Bevins says.
Sure, our stock portfolios should be getting fatter with all this froth -- well, if we had stock portfolios. It turns out, Gallup says, only about half of American households are stock owners, including through 401(k)s and the like.
Dow 14,000 to me is a taunt; it's a reminder that most Americans are working harder (or more efficiently) for essentially no more money, while the companies they work for prosper wildly (without sharing or hiring) and while investors in those companies watch their wealth balloon.
All the while, the plight of the American worker is treated as little more than a political piñata. The right says the problem is that the left requires companies to pay taxes to do business in the country. If only taxes could go away or be reduced, companies would start hiring madly and peace and prosperity would wash over the land.
The left says the problem is that the right is strangling government spending, restricting rivers of cash that would flow out of Washington, efficiently sweeping up the unemployed and depositing them into productive well-paying jobs.
Perhaps I exaggerate, but you get the point. We're left to look either to big business and the free market, or to big government and fiscal stimulus for our survival.
Not much of a choice when you consider that in the past big business has taken tax breaks meant to spur hiring (American Jobs Creation Act of 2004) and used them to pad profits and reward shareholders. And big government? It is the outfit that just decided to disregard the thinking of, well, everyone, and blindly cut federal spending across the board. The move, known as sequestration, could cost the country as many as 700,000 jobs.
In the end, then, the choice between big business and big government appears to be the choice between the untrustworthy and the incompetent.
And you wonder why I'm bummed.

BOULDER, Colo. -- Now, after 10 losses in 11 games, things get especially tough for the Cal football team.
Fifth-ranked Stanford and the 116th Big Game loom next Saturday.
"We're going to go in there with a nothing-to-lose mentality," Cal freshman quarterback Jared Goff said. "It's the Big Game. Everyone's going to be excited for it.
"We're going get better this week and we're going to come in ready to go."
Cal coach Sonny Dykes, asked how he could remedy the Bears' tackling woes in four more practices before facing one of the nation's most physical running games, groped for the right words.
"We'll try, we'll try," he said. "We're going to take every opportunity to get better."
Backup quarterback Zach Kline, who played two second-half series, said a win over Colorado would have provided a huge confidence lift entering Big Game week.
"It's disappointing," he said, "but it puts some logs on the fire going into the Big Game to finish up the season on a high note."
Bigelow rushed 15 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns to become the first Cal back to crack 100 yards this season. He entered play Saturday averaging 29.7 yards per game and without a touchdown.
"I've struggled during the season, and I've been constantly just working every week and trying to get better at the things that we need to get better at," Bigelow told a pool reporter after the game. "It's great that I'm able to finally click, contribute to the team and try to help them."
Bigelow said he tried to be patient and read his blocks. "I couldn't have done it without my line. It really helped me get a tug and everything. I owe it to those guys."
Goff said the Bears welcomed Bigelow's breakout performance.
"That was encouraging," Goff said. "He's had a little bit of a down year, but he had the no-quit mentality there at the end. It was good to see that."
And then he was back on the sideline.
"Obviously, me being a guy that wants to be a starter, whenever you get put in and get pulled it is pretty disappointing," Kline said. "But you have to trust what the coach is doing even though you might disagree.
"I wasn't going to let any frustration show to my teammates. That's a time when you've got to pull together as a team and fight to win."

Functional Literacy – The Language of Empowerment
By focusing on financial and legal literacy, UNDP has empowered poor and marginalized to strengthen their asset base, secure justice and expand the range of choices available to them.
30 year old Rita Devi from Rampur village in Jaunpur district of eastern Uttar Pradesh is the mother of five young children. In 2009 she participated in a pilot financial literacy programme supported by UNDP. She learnt how to open and operate a bank account. Her husband who works in a printing press in Mumbai now easily sends money home every month to support the family. She bought an insurance policy some time ago and recently secured a loan from her local self-help group to start a livestock based livelihoods unit.
- UNDP's efforts in promoting functional literacy has helped empower the most marginalized social groups, especially women to access financial services and secure justice
- In partnership with NABARD and the Indian School of Microfinance for Women, UNDP has enabled greater access of the most marginalized to financial products and services
- UNDP's engagement with the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana has resulted in more than 700,000 households from marginalized social groups enrolled into the insurance scheme
- Legal literacy imparted through collaboration with the Department of Justice since 2008 has reached out to over two million people across 62 districts access justice
Over 800 kms away, Duku Majhi from Bhejiguda village in Odisha's Kalahandi district filed an application under the Right to Information Act (RTI) with the District Rural Development Agency requesting information on why his house did not have an electricity connection. Within days of his application, electricity was provided through solar panels installed in his house and in all the other non-electrified houses in the village. He learnt about the Act and his right to information through the Land and RTI clinic set up as part of a joint UNDP-Department of Justice partnership that aims to empower marginalized communities to secure justice.
Both Rita Devi and Duku Majhi represent the importance of literacy in different ways. Rita Devi has used financial literacy to secure her family's future and access the world of financial services, and Duku used legal literacy to demand the right to secure information crucial to improving the quality of life. UNDP invests in functional literacy as a way of expanding the capabilities and choices of people.
Since 2009, UNDP in partnership with NABARD and the Indian School of Microfinance for Women has equipped thousands of women like Rita Devi with financial literacy skills critical to meeting the objectives of financial inclusion in India. Less than 60 percent of the adult population in rural areas has access to basic banking services. Much of the success of efforts to deepen financial inclusion will depend on the effectiveness of business correspondents to take the message of financial inclusion to far flung areas. UNDP with NABARD has strengthened the technical capacities of business correspondents in four states –Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. As part of its policy advocacy efforts, UNDP has convened stakeholders across 7 UN focus states Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh in charting out the strategy for achieving financial literacy.
The learnings from the field tested models to train trainers and build the capabilities of banking correspondents to effectively meet the needs of rural customers are now being upscaled nationally using resources from the Financial Inclusion Fund of NABARD. The success of UNDP initiatives have revealed that effectively designed financial literacy training programmes can facilitate effective integration of socially disadvantaged groups into the formal financial sector. UNDP's engagement with the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) in 15 of the most disadvantaged districts of India has resulted in more than 700,000 households from tribal and other marginalized social groups enrolled into the insurance scheme and empowered to improve their health outcomes at the household level.
The UNDP-Department of Justice partnership to enable poor and marginalized communities access to justice has reached out to over two million people across 62 districts in 7 states since 2008. Using a two-pronged approach the programme has focused on improving institutional capacity of key justice service providers to enable them to effectively serve marginalized communities. It also seeks to directly empower these communities to seek and demand quality justice services. The programme has supported and partnered with national, state and local justice institutions including the judiciary, national legal services authorities (NALSA), civil society organizations, professional bodies and academic institutions.
Legal literacy is now part of the government's flagship adult literacy programme, the Sakshar Bharat and 12 booklets on simplified laws will soon be used by adult educators to make people aware about their basic rights and entitlements under the Programme.
Through a two-pronged approach –financial and legal literacy for the poorest, most marginalized today, Duku and Rita echo the same hope for the future. "I am confident that my fifteen-year-old son Jogeswar, who has just entered class ten, will now get better marks in the exams as he can now read at night as well and that my twelve- year-old daughter, who had earlier dropped out of school, will be motivated to rejoin it to pursue higher education," said Duku. For Rita Devi, being financially literate now means "I can now save towards the education of my young children."
Projects and Initiatives
Financial Inclusion (2009-2012)
In partnership with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, the project aims to increase financial inclusion of the poor by developing appropriate financial products for them and increasing awareness on available financial services and strengthening financial literacy, particularly amongst women.
Increasing Access to Justice for Marginalized People (September 2008 - December 2017)
In partnership with the Department of Justice, Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India, the project focuses on strengthening access to justice for the poor by developing strategies that address barriers to accessing justice in legal, social, economic and political domains.

BEAVER CREEK - American Ted Ligety is hoping his fourth-place finish in Saturday's super-G isn't the beginning of a new trend.
Ligety finished fourth in Lake Louise last weekend in super-G, too, and both finishes were within such close reach of a podium position.
"I have probably more fourth-places than many other World Cup guys that are top guys," Ligety said. "That's a bummer, especially a lot of the time only by a couple of hundredths, so it'd be nice to be a couple hundredths faster here and a couple hundredths faster in Lake Louise - then I'd have 60 more (World Cup) points right now."
Ligety's specialty is giant slalom, and he knows he's the favorite in today's final race at Beaver Creek. He's used to the pressure of being a favorite, he said - it's something he deals with all the time.
There could be new pressure on Ligety this season, though. Aksel Lund Svindal, of Norway, who is leading in overall points right now, said Ligety is right up there with the top contenders for the globe this year.
"He obviously worked more on his super-G," Svindal said after Saturday's race. "He's a good skier, and good skiers tend to also be able to ski fast in all events."
Svindal added that while the Birds of Prey course is great for technical giant slalom skiers, Lake Louise should have favored downhill skiers, yet Ligety was fast there, too.
Both Ligety and Svindal, who are on the same equipment this season, attribute a lot of the success to that equipment.
"I think it's mostly my ski set-up," Ligety said. "We have new boots in speed - those have definitely helped a lot. They made (Kjetill) Jansrud from being a nobody in speed to being one of the top couple guys in speed. And then the skis this year definitely suit me, as well."
While Ligety was the top American Saturday and certainly one of the top American stories to follow this season, some young Americans showed a lot of promise as they raced down one of the most challenging super-G courses on the World Cup calendar.
Thomas Biesemeyer, 23, got his best World Cup finish ever Saturday when he tied two other skiers for 18th place, scoring World Cup points.
He said the courses suited his style because he's good at turning and skiing smart.
"I was pretty nervous just because I knew you had to ditch speed in places and that's not that comforting to know that," Biesemeyer said. "It's like that's the hard part - what's the fine line of too much and what's too little. So today I skied tactically smart and I skied aggressive and I skied loose and athletic, and that's my goal always into any race I do because I have the speed and I'm confident and it felt good."
He heard reports from his teammates that the course was in great shape and to stick to the plan. He said the report was to ski loose, but also to get after it.
Brennan Rubie and Jared Goldberg are two more young Americans who scored World Cup points Saturday. In Rubie's first World Cup race ever, he skied clean and fast enough for a 27th-place finish.
"I was super surprised that I could get in the points in my first race. This is the coolest thing I've ever experienced," Rubie said. "I was up top and I heard my teammate Jared Goldberg had a great run and that pumped me up. I was like, 'OK, guys I ski with everyday are putting it in there,' and so I knew that I could, too."
Goldberg made the cut for points with a 30th-place finish in his second-ever World Cup race weekend. He already sounded like an old professional after the race, too, at the whopping age of 21.
"It's a lot better my second time because I wasn't quite as nervous as I was up in Lake Louise last week and I was really calm," Goldberg said. "I know it's pretty intimidating looking out at the start with how steep and icy it is and bumpy, but we had a plan - we got course reports from other guys, we had a plan on what to do and how to keep from getting late in certain gates."
Goldberg said teammate Marco Sullivan's podium at Lake Louise has given the American speed racers "a lot more fire."
American teammate Andrew Weibrecht skied off-course Saturday and did not finish the race. Weibrecht had finished 10th in the same race last year and was considered among the favorites for the Americans. Americans Travis Ganong and Ryan Cochran-Siegle also skied off-course and didn't finish Saturday.

A separate in-wall oven and electric cooktop setup expands the cooking options in any kitchen. This dual-appliance arrangement is perfect for households where more than one person needs to cook at once, or for those that cook multiple dishes at once and don't want to stand in front of a hot oven while they use the stove top.
Electric cooktops come in a few different styles. The type many are most familiar with is the electric radiant cooktop with exposed heating coils. These can be difficult to keep clean, so a popular option is the smoothtop cooktop, which has the burners hidden under a seamless glass surface. One of the newest options for an electric stove top is the induction cooktop. Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat the pan itself, providing a very even level of heating and keeping the actual cooktop from getting hot.
Shop at Abt and find manufacturers like GE, Jenn-Air, and Bosch. Please don't hesitate to contact one of our kitchen sales specialists with any questions before your purchase.
Put your kitchen island to good use with a new electric cooktop. By pairing an electric stove top with an in-wall oven, you can maximize the space of your main countertop areas and have plenty of room for food preparation.

A truly fantastic app! Didn't know I needed it until I tried it, now I use it everyday.
I love the interface, i love the little menubar icone that is really clear, but i don't get why, when i upload a screenshot and i want to post it on a forum with the right code, it always put a broken image (like as if there was no image linked). And i have put all my picture public, am lost!
Simply brilliant.
This is great. Extremely convenient screenshot sharing. It's replaced Jing for me.
Attention! Clipboard upload is enabled by default, and anyone can try to guess your screenshot URL (as of April 2010, three-digit only)
Really easy to use, I just installed it. I'll have to see on the long term if it works well!
@brh , yeah that would be just terrible. Horrible even that people might come here because they want to try a new app. That must really annoy you to no end.

Two brothers ragging about in the woods on their matching Genesis Alpitudes. It's a lovely little edit, it sums up exactly what Alpitude is about and I for one have a massive urge now to get out riding this weekend.
Sunny woodland floor, long shadows, loamy turns, hoppy jumps, flat pedals, off road riding at its most fun.
Many thanks to Gaetan Ray for the video and for getting in touch.
Happy riding.

Topic: Buddist Wisdom Quote
Isn't it a shame? If all humans could only understand this one basic sense of universal responsibility quoted below:
As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions
such as anger and attachment, fear and suspicion.
While love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility are the
source of peace and happiness.
Dalai Lama
Love and compassion to you all ! We can all interpet the effects of this quote so much differently and deeper. Maybe less pollution, stress, and disease; health for all.

Willows Inn Chef Blaine Wetzel Wows Aspen Food & Wine Classic Crowd
Blaine Wetzel, the wunderkind chef from Willows Inn on Lummi Island, was named one of the nation's Best New Chefs by Food & Wine Magazine, his increasingly famous face featured on the cover of the July issue.
One of the perks of this recognition is an invitation to the Aspen Food & Wine Festival, a slightly overwhelming – in a good way – event held this weekend.
During the three days of seminars, demos and Grand Tastings, the lineup of best new chefs showed off their cooking skills by feeding hungry crowds of consumers. Chefs Wetzel and Madison Park Conservatory's Cormac Mahoney appeared Friday and Saturday afternoons, respectively.
Wetzel used venison from British Columbia to create a tartare garnished in juniper. A nod to his tenure at NOMA in Copenhagen perhaps? Well, maybe, but he pointed out that he collected the delicate juniper clippings from his backyard.
Consumers were asked to vote for their favorite bites by texting selections to Twitter. Then again, all the chefs making a splash at this star-studded event were winners.

With the introduction of metadata locking in MySQL 5.5, it is much more
common to see queries stuck in the "Waiting for table metadata
lock" state.
If you see a query stuck in the "Waiting for table metadata lock" state, waiting for a MyISAM table, then it is because this table has been included as part of some uncommitted transaction (whether intentionally or not).
In fact, it could be as simple as issuing SET AUTOCOMMIT=0 followed by a SELECT against a MyISAM table (a transaction can be started 3 ways: START TRANSACTION, BEGIN, and SET AUTOCOMMIT=0). After …

When Hus and I first met, we clicked rather quickly. We just seemed to mesh well together. And, like many relationships, for about a year after beginning to date, I thought that Hus and our relationship were absolutely perfect. We loved everything about one another, we hardly ever fought, and to top it all off, we were one of those mushy couples. You know, the ones you gag at in public? We were one of those couples. Everything was great and no one could have told us differently.
Then, about a year into our courtship, we started to notice all of the little things about one another that we didn't like, found to be annoying, and could have even been deal-breakers. When we moved in together, they became even more noticeable. Over the years, these irritants have caused many arguments and a good deal of conflict in our relationship. I wanted to change Hus and he wanted to change me. We both wanted one another to mold into these perfect, idealized people. What a mistake. What a HUGE mistake.
It is completely unrealistic to think that anyone is perfect or has the potential to be perfect. It's additionally impractical to believe that you somehow have the ability to create the perfect partner. Recognizing your partner's flaws (everyone has them) and accepting your mate for who he or she is (good and bad) is major component of healthy relationships. You cannot change your mate. If by chance the behavior, personality trait, or habit that irks you is beyond your acceptance, you may need to seriously reevaluate your partnership.
When Hus and I finally came to the realization that we could not change one another, we grew closer as a couple. I love him for who he is and he loves me for who I am, regardless of the fact that he is consistently late and I am habitually bossy.

Chester Gould was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma. His father didn't support his artistic ambitions, and sent him to law school. While studying however, Gould started his career drawing sport cartoons for the City Daily Oklahomian between 1921 and 1923. For the Hearst papers, he did 'The Radio Lanes' and later 'Fillum Fables', which replaced Edgar Wheelan's 'Minute Movies'.
Fillum Fables (1928)
In 1931, Chester Gould's career got a boost when he sold his comic strip idea about the hard-nosed plain-clothes detective Dick Tracy to the Chicago Tribune and the New York Daily News. After 1931, he devoted his life to writing and drawing the daily 'Dick Tracy' comic. Between 1956 and 1964, the 'Dick Tracy' strip was accompanied by the funny animal topper, 'The Gravies'.
Gould's 'Dick Tracy' comic was unique for it's clever mix of suspense, grotesque villains, explicit violence, melodrama and well-documented use of scientific research methods, that were relatively new at the time. Gould also introduced innovative anti-criminal aids for policemen in his stories, such as security cameras, handheld video cameras, and most notably the two-way wrist video camera, which was developed at that moment by Gould's friend Al Gross.
Gould's work has inspired a lot of other cartoonists, like Milton Caniff and Alex Raymond. He also received the Reuben award, one of the most important awards in the comics drawing field. Gould retired in 1977, and Rick Fletcher and Alan Collins took over 'Dick Tracy'. In 1981, Gould wanted his name removed from the 'Dick Tracy' motion picture credits because he was dissatisfied with the direction the movie had taken.

Make a mighty pretty Milli sandwich with cream cheese, strawberries and bananas.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Using the rim of a glass or large round cookie cutter, cut the bread slices into a 3-inch and a 4-inch circle. Spread the softened cream cheese on one side of the smaller circle, then spread the strawberry jam on one side of the larger circle.
Arrange three of the banana slices on the lower edge of the sliced bread with jam and sprinkle the pink flower decorations on top. Add the bread slice with cream cheese on top of the bananas, cream cheese side down, the bread slice will be slightly askew in order to see the jam layer.
Cut the strawberry in quarters lengthwise. Add the raisins as eyes on top of the bread. Pipe eyebrows with the chocolate frosting. Arrange the strawberries as Milli's bangs and mouth.

A lawmaker's use of a hashtag on Twitter prompted an apology on the House floor.
Freshman Rep. Jessica Haak sent a tweet on the social media site during a Wednesday recess that said she'd been told by Rep. Al Carlson not to tweet when the chamber was in session. Haak ended her tweet with hashtag "Nazi."
Haak, a Democrat from Jamestown, met with state party leaders after the House adjourned. She also met with Carlson. On Thursday, she read a statement that apologized for her conduct without referencing the tweet directly.
Carlson, a Fargo Republican, tells the Bismarck Tribune that he accepts the apology.
North Dakota State University professor Ann Burnett tells Valley News Live that the kneejerk nature of social media can translate to less respect in the Legislature.

Afternoon clouds, dark and heavy with the promise of rain, continue to roll into Summit County this week, bringing the first splash of monsoon moisture to the region, but forecasters say it's not enough.
Forecasts show 30-50 percent chances of precipitation and thunderstorms every day through the end of the week, the first signs of the monsoons that were uncertain to reach Colorado.
Long-range predictions, however, are less clear when it comes to moisture, projecting only the possibility of normal conditions, according to the National Weather Service.
"It's getting going already," meteorologist Kyle Fredin said. "We see some moisture over the area for the next five to seven days. Past that, it starts turning toward seasonal normals. They don't expect too much in the way of extreme dry or extreme wetness."
Seasonal normals in Summit County call for 1.36 inches of precipitation in June and 2.21 inches in July, but last month saw less than .2 inches of moisture.
While the storms predicted for the coming week will help, boosting stream flows - currently in the 25th percentile - by 200 or 300 cubic feet per second, those increases are short-lived.
Experts say the region needs weeks of soaking rains to begin to recover from extreme drought conditions.
"The best scenario to hope for is that you'd have a prolonged period, maybe a month or more, of getting some rain at least every couple days," Colorado River Basin Forecast Center hydrologist Greg Smith said, noting that the evening sprinkles Summit has seen recently aren't nearly enough. "It's hard to say if something like that is going to happen."
It would be monsoonal flow winds that would bring the moisture if it did eventually arrive. The winds help move moisture in from the eastern Pacific Ocean and, to some degree, from the Gulf of Mexico into the Southwestern states.
Current predictions show just a chance for the Western Slope to see that above-average rainfall this month. The above-average temperatures that have shattered records across the state over the last month remain in the forecast as well, according to the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center.
Ultimately, forecasters say, relief may not be possible this summer.
Summer weather patterns, with their isolated and short-lived thunderstorms, do not tend to provide the kind of sustained moisture Colorado needs to recover from current drought conditions, experts said.
"It's really something that you're unlikely to see during summer thunderstorm activity," Smith said. "It's not basin-wide like big (snow) storms. ... It doesn't really soak in, and it runs off pretty quickly."
The real moisture tends to arrive in the winter and spring with longer snowstorms spanning larger areas.
Current El Nino patterns indicate the coming winter may fall to the dry side of normal west of the Continental Divide.
The Vail Daily's Scott Miller contributed to the reporting of this story.

When the bladder fills with urine, sensory nerves send impulses to the brain indicating that the bladder is full. The sensory nerves connect with other nerves in the spinal cord to relay this information. In turn, the brain sends impulses back to the bladder instructing the bladder to empty its contents.

Wet weather on the way, and when it rains, Judge James Blanchard says it pours a problem into his 9th floor courtroom.
"You see the situation as it is, we have to be extremely careful when it rains to make sure we move all the books and electronics equipment out of the way," the judge says.
Its a problem that's flowing all around the municipal building. In the law library, water from a leaking roof is causing walls to bulge and bubble. In several offices, rusted pipes leak water into mop buckets. An antique portrait of former Georgia Supreme Court Justice William Montgomery is also damaged.
"The entire roof system should be replaced," says Rob Munger, the city's capital improvements manager.
He says the roof was supposed to be replaced several years ago with the money from SPLOST.
Munger says, "The builder on that particular time, was the same guy that had done the LEC roof and we'd had some problems with that roof and we didn't feel comfortable going with that particular vendor."
Since then, the water damage has even left a mark in the main courtroom where caution tape blocks off rows of seats under a hole in the ceiling. Munger says the city will seek bids from companies at the first of the year. Once the repairs start, the city estimates it will take about two months to complete.
