NEW BEDFORD — A man suspected of beating and robbing a 39-year-old New Bedford man was arrested Thursday night in the South End, police said.
New Bedford police arrested Steven Morales, 38, of 592 South First St., Apartment 3W, for unarmed robbery and assault and battery last night when a narcotics unit detective on patrol observed Morales walking near the intersection of County and Winsor Streets at 11 p.m., according to Detective Capt. Steven Vicente.
Morales was the suspect in an unarmed robbery in the early morning hours of January 28 on Delano Street. The victim was punched in the face several times and the suspect stole his wallet, cash and cell phone. He was transported to St. Luke's Hospital, where he was treated for facial injuries and later released.
An investigation was conducted by Det. Scott Brown that led to an arrest warrant being obtained for the suspect and Morales was taken into custody by Det. Jonathan Lagoa of the department's narcotics unit, Vicente said.

About STEP
Portland State University is a great place to study transportation planning and engineering. Portland, Oregon is famous for its multimodal transportation system. Portland is a hub for advanced transportation research conducted at Portland State University in close partnership with renowned transportation agencies and firms. We have vibrant undergraduate, Master's and Ph.D. programs with full funding (tuition plus a stipend) available for top students, energetic and committed faculty, more than 25 specialized transportation courses, we are part of the new Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium, have beautiful new classroom buildings, laboratories and a wonderful downtown Portland location!
Travel Reimbursement Criteria
STEP, through a grant from OTREC, offers a limited number of travel reimbursements for students traveling to and participating in conferences. The reimbursement amount depends on a number of criteria, including: 1) The total amount of funding available for a particular conference, 2) The number of students attending a particular conference, 3) The student's participation in the conference (i.e., is the student presenting work?), and 4) The student's participation in STEP activities. Reimbursements are available on a tiered basis. The final levels of support will depend on the number of students presenting/applying for each event. Students presenting work at the conference will always receive the highest reimbursement tier. Regarding STEP participation, a student who does not participate in any STEP events throughout the year will receive the lowest reimbursement tier (if any). STEP should not be treated as a simple source of funding; it is an academic student group and asks for participation from each of its members. Students wishing for reimbursement will need to fill out a Travel Authorization Form before the conference and a Travel Reimbursement Form after the conference (remember to keep all receipts/emails for your expenses!). STEP's officers will send an email or post on the website to make the deadline for filing forms clear both before and after a particular conference. To ensure that the highest numbers of students are able to participate in conferences, it is expected that students with family/friends near the conference do not request reimbursement for lodging expenses (if free accommodation is close and convenient).
For the Transportation Research Board 90th Annual Meeting (2011) funding criteria, click here.

History of STEP
STEP serves as Portland State University's ITE chapter. PSU has had a student chapter of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) since 1981. The chapter actively arranges for speakers to visit campus and combines visits to "the field" with class activities. The ITE student group has a tradition of attending pre-opening tours of Portland's newest Light Rail facilities. Recent previews have included Portland's newest light rail extension, the Interstate MAX Yellow Line. The chapter has also toured the MAX Airport Red Line and the new Portland streetcar extension to Riverplace. STEP student members also participate in an annual, region-wide Transportation "Jeopardy-style" contest, which is organized to enhance awareness of the transportation field amongst Civil Engineering students. The PSU team earned a first place finish in 2003, and finished a close second in 2004. Students have attended and presented at the 2003 ITE International Annual Meeting in Seattle, the 2004 District 6 meeting in Sacramento, the 2004 Quad Conference in Portland, Oregon, the 2005 Quad Conference in Vancouver B.C. and the 2005 Transportation Research Board Conference in Washington D.C. Sutti Tantiyanugulchai, a graduate research assistant, received the ITE District 6 Annual Meeting Best Paper Award during the August 2003 meeting in Seattle, Washington, for his paper entitled, "Analysis of a Transit Bus as a Probe Vehicle for Arterial Performance Measurement." The transportation engineering community in Portland, represented by the Oregon Section of ITE, is also strongly behind the PSU chapter, recognizing that it is the most active chapter in the state. Professor Robert Bertini was named most outstanding individual by the Oregon Section of ITE for his influence and contribution to the transportation community in Oregon. Professor Kent Lall, a former chapter advisor, was given an award from the Oregon Section for his years of service to the student chapter. The Oregon Section has contributed approximately $400 in 2005, $150 in 2004, and $300 in 2003 to the chapter for its activities. The section has also enlisted the chapter's help in promoting the 2007 District 6 meeting in Portland and will allow students to keep all proceeds from a silent auction at this year's annual meeting.

There's no better time to be an area prep sports fan than right now.
The only slight bummer for me personally, which happens every year at this time, is I rarely get to see an opening round prep football playoff game. That's because the state volleyball tournament falls on the same weekend and I'm swamped with taking care of all-state ballots and watching a lot of talented ladies trying to figure out a way to get through three matches and hoist up a state championship.
Of course, not only do we have some great football games on tap, but the boys from Parkersburg High School are going after yet another state soccer championship.
As far as I know when it comes to volleyball, this is the first time in Wood County history that PHS, Parkersburg South, Williamstown and Parkersburg Catholic all made the state tournament. On top of that, Ritchie County qualified as did Magnolia and Little Kanawha Conference champion Tyler Consolidated.
Thankfully, the "blind draw" by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission worked out pretty well this year for volleyball.
Although I know better than to even think about counting out either Magnolia or Parkersburg Catholic, which eliminated defending Class A state champion Wirt County in the sectionals, it's safe to say in my opinion the favorites to play for the small school crown are Williamstown and Tyler Consolidated.
Via the "blind draw" option, it was entirely possible TCHS and the Yellowjackets could've met in the semifinals on Friday night.
Wrestling fans have seen this play out countless times over the years where the Saturday night championship match actually took place on Friday night because the best two grapplers in a respective weight class are in the same bracket.
Even though a lot of smart wrestling coaches, like former Parkersburg South head man Paul Jackson, will admit to anyone who listens it's entirely possible to seed the state wrestling tournament, it's never going to happen. It appears the status quo is just a lot easier to keep going than trying to do something which might make things a little more fair for the wrestlers. In fact, I'm sure there are numerous instances throughout the years where the state runner-up doesn't even own a win against the wrestler who finished third.
Several years ago, West Virginia started seeding the postseason in basketball. For the most part, this has been a positive step forward even though there have been instances across the state where some coaches intentionally ranked teams lower or higher than they should've been in order to try and circumvent the process and in turn attempt to get an easier matchup.
While we've been in the 21st century for a good while now, it just befuddles me why a "blind draw" is necessary for the state volleyball tournament.
Every coach I've talked to agrees it's not rocket science to seed eight teams per class once they reach the state net tournament in Charleston.
Just don't look for it to happen anytime soon.

Divorce In Nebraska
How to Get a Nebraska Divorce
Divorce in Nebraska: Divorce is the legal separation of a married couple, and must be done through the District Courts in the county where either party lives.
For either party to file a complaint for divorce, they must have been a resident of the state for at least one year prior to filing.
Nebraska is a "no fault" state, meaning that the only reason a couple will be granted a divorce is if the marriage is found to be irretrievably broken.
If all of these requirements are met either an individual or a couple can seek the divorce process.

|First Appearance
|Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1
Psyphon used to be Vilgax's servant and right-hand man. He is and will always be extremely loyal to Vilgax[1]. He used to follow his will completely. He has a skeletal appearance and helps Vilgax drain all the powers of the heroes of the 10 worlds he had conquered (one of these worlds being his own home planet). Still, nothing much is known about Psyphon except for the fact that he appears devoted to Vilgax and he also shows sign of arrogance towards humans.
He runs his own operations in Omniverse.
Psyphon has a resemblance to a To'kustar. He has a skeletal appearance. His body is white with black markings and he wears a black robe with red marks in the middle.
In Omniverse his fin has became round like a spike also its mostly black with one white strip. He has spikes on his left and right hands and has a mark on his chin. His eyes have a short black line.
Powers and Abilities
Psyphon possesses no natural powers, but has advanced technology far beyond Earth standards.
During the episode Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1 when the police attack him, Psyphon stops the attack by pressing a button on his wrist and a force field appears. He then throws a grenade at the police and detonates it, destroying everything within its large blast radius.
In the Vilgax Attacks game, his abilities range from orbital lasers to force fields to energy attacks and grenades. He was also able to bring a Mr. Smoothie drawing to life with a laser and make it into the boss in the level.
In Reflected Glory, Psyphon claimed after Vilgax was blown up, he "wouldn't let all that power go to waste", exhibiting levitation, and enhanced strength, being stronger than Ultimate Spidermonkey and the ability to shoot powerful beams of energy from his hands and create shields from them. He also reveals he has a massive amount of R.E.Ds.
In Omniverse, Psyphon has regained some of his Ultimate Alien powers through unknown means, plus some new ones. He exhibited flight, enhanced strength, eye beams, some durability, plus he now has several kinds of beams from wrist devices which can burn objects, cause nervous system damage and many more unseen ones.
When he charged his suit with Dwarf Star he gained the ability to create a more powerful blast and strong force field along with teleportation.
Ben 10: Alien Force
He appears in Vengeance of Vilgax helping Vilgax absorb Ultimos' powers with his power-absorbing machine and coming to Earth with Vilgax so he could challenge Ben to a fight. He fended off some police officers with a button on his watch and placing a bomb if Ben would not show up. Ben even asked if Psyphon will work for him if he won.
Psyphon also appeared briefly at the beginning of Primus, and made a non-speaking cameo at the end of The Secret of Chromastone, handing a tissue to Vilgax, having caught Ben's cold. According to Dwayne McDuffie, during the Final Battle, he was tending to Vilgax's empire.
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
His first appearance in the series is Reflected Glory, where he is the main villain and wants to avenge his master's defeat by destroying Cash and J.T. He then realizes they were not the brains behind Ben so he goes and battles Ben. He is now stronger than in the Alien Force series, he took some of Vilgax's equipment and he has now almost indestructible assassination droids called R.E.D.s. He also managed to defeat Ultimate Spidermonkey, marking him the first villain to defeat an ultimate form, something not even his master could do. In the end he was defeated by Cash and JT when they shot an energy decoupler at him, weakening him, allowing Ultimate Spidermonkey to knock him out with a single punch.
In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 1, Psyphon arrived near the end of the episode with the machine used to take the powers of Vilgax's enemies and insert them into Vilgax. Then, as he prepares to fight Ben and his team, Diagon is released.
In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2, Psyphon uses the machine to absorb Diagon and transfers it to Vilgax.
Ben 10: Omniverse
Psyphon reappeared in The More Things Change: Part 2. He now runs his own operations like a protection racket on alien markets in Bellwood and Undertown, threatening to blow them up with bombs and accepting only Taydenite as payment. He plots to expand the protection racket to the human stores in Bellwood and since they lack the Taydenite to pay him will result in dozens of bombs going off in Bellwood which is his intent.
During the battle with Ben he demonstrated a device designed overload alien nervous systems thus causing them to lose control of their powers. Psyphon and Ben were separated by Buglizard and instead fought Ben's new partner, a Revonnahgander named Rook Blonko. During the resulting fight with Rook Psyphon developed a lustfull craving for Rook's Proto-Tech Armor, wanting it's technology.
He and his gang are arrested by the Plumbers at the end of the episode and imprisoned inside the Plumber's base underneath Max's store.
He later appears in Outbreak, where after Dr. Psychobos steals a vital stabilizer chip from the Omnitrix he is transformed into a half Pyronite creature and members of his gang Liam, Fistina and Bubble Helmet into half a Vaxasaurian, a half Galvanic Mechamorph and a half Gimlinopithecus respectively.
He devised a plan to escape from the Plumber's prison first he allowed his three super powered minions to attempt a direct escape buying him time to hack the base's Null Void gate and commit the full power of the base to it thus threatening to suck Bellwood into the Null Void. He knew that the Plumber's would shut down the gate and in doing so they also deactivated the secondary security field that was trapping him and his minions in the base. Luckily, Blukic and Driba were able to fix Ben's Omnitrix returning those affected by it back to normal, much to Psyphon's charging, and causing him and his minions to be reimprisoned in the base.
In Special Delivery, he wanted to auction a package that contained Dwarf-Star in a containment sphere. He attached it to his own suit and defeated Ben as Humungousaur, but Ben defeated him as Toepick.

By Gen. George W. Casey Jr.February 24, 2010
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Senator McCain, members of the Committee. As the chairman said, I would like just to begin by introducing four representative members of this great army that we have.
First, I'd introduce Mrs. Donna Engeman. Donna's husband, John, was killed in Iraq four years ago, and she currently runs our Survivor Outreach Services programs. It's a program we put in place about two years ago to increase what we were doing for surviving family members. Her son, Patrick, is on his second tour in Iraq.
... Thank you, Donna.
Next to her is Staff Sergeant Christian Hughes. He was wounded in Afghanistan in October. He's recovering from his wounds in Walter Reed, and he looks forward to rejoining his unit as soon as he can.
Thank you.
Next is Sergeant First Class Shana Tinsely. Her husband, Arthur, is a master sergeant. He leaves for Afghanistan on Thursday, I think. And she will be here with her children, working here with us in the Pentagon.
And lastly, Sergeant First Class Jeff Lawson. He has recently completed a program at the University of Pennsylvania that qualifies him to be a Master Resilience Trainer. And this is an important part of our Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program that I will talk about a bit later. He's got three tours in Iraq himself.
So thank you all very much for coming out ...
Now, if I could, Mr. Chairman, as you noted I've been saying for the past three years that the Army is out of balance, that we're so weighed down by our current commitments that we can't do the things we know we need to do to sustain this All-Volunteer Force and to prepare to do other things. I can tell you that with the help of the Committee we've made progress over the last year to get back in balance, but we're not quite out of the woods yet.
That said, this 2011 budget completes the procurement funding to finish our conversion to modular organizations that we began in 2004 and the growth that we began in 2007. It also contains the military construction funding to complete the base realignment and closure [BRAC] moves of 2005. So your continued support will allow us to meet the goals we set six years ago to build an Army that is both relevant to 21st Century challenges and back in balance.
This plan that we put in place to get ourselves back in balance was centered on four imperatives. We had to sustain our Soldiers and Families -- the heart and soul of the force. We had to continue to prepare our Soldiers for success in the current conflict. We had to reset them effectively when they returned. And then we had to continue to transform for an uncertain future. Let me just give you a short progress report on where we are.
Our first objective was to finish our growth, and you'll recall the Administration in January of 2007 directed that we increase the size of the Army by 74,000. Originally, we were going to do that by 2012. With Secretary Gates' and your support, we completed it last spring. When that did not prove to be sufficient, we were granted a temporary increase of 22,000 Soldiers. And we will evaluate later this year whether we need that entire amount.
This growth -- coupled with the drawdown in Iraq -- has allowed us to meet the need for additional forces in Afghanistan without returning to 15-month deployments and without going back on Stop Loss.
Our second key objective was to increase the time our Soldiers spent at home. And I will tell you after almost three years on the job, I'm more convinced than ever that this is the most important element of putting ourselves back in balance, and for several reasons:
One, our Soldiers need time to recover from repeated combat deployments. What we continue to see across the forces are the cumulative effects of these deployments. And we recently completed a study that demonstrates what we intuitively knew -- that it takes two to three years to recover from a one-year combat deployment.
That's why it's so important for us to meet our near-term objective of two years at home between deployments for the active force, and four years at home between deployments for our Reserve Components. As demand decreases, we plan to move to more sustainable goals of three and five years, respectively, between deployments.
More time at home also gives us more stable preparation time for the next mission and more time to prepare to do other things. When you're only home for a year, you barely have time to finish your leave before you have to begin preparing to go back.
I recently visited units that had 18 months home, and the difference between 18 months at home and 12 months at home at the pace ... the optempo that they're on ... is significant.
Additionally, as time at home increases, we'll be able to see more units training for the full spectrum of operations, and we will gradually rekindle some of the skills that have atrophied over the past several years.
Our third objective was to move away from our Cold War formations to organizations that are more relevant for the challenges we'll face in the 21st Century. In 2004, we set out to convert all 300-plus brigades in our Army to modular organizations. Today we're almost 90 percent complete, and these formations are demonstrating their versatility and their value in Iraq and Afghanistan every day.
We also set out to rebalance the skills resident in these formations. These involved converting, retraining and equipping around 150,000 Soldiers from all components to new jobs.
By way of example, in the last six years, we have stood down around 200 tank companies, artillery batteries and air defense batteries, and we've stood up a corresponding number of military police, engineers, civil affairs and Special Forces companies. This has paid tremendous benefits in the current operations.
So together, the rebalancing and the modular conversions represent the largest organizational transformation of the Army since World War II, and we will have done this while fighting two wars.
Fourth, we are moving to put the whole Army on a rotational readiness model much like the Navy and Marine Corps have been on for many years. This model will allow us to more efficiently and effectively provide a sustained flow of land forces that are trained for the full spectrum of operations to our Combatant Commanders.
It will also allow us to have forces available to hedge against the unexpected contingencies that you spoke of. And it will also allow us to do this in a way that is predictable and sustainable for this All-Volunteer Force.
Our fifth objective was to complete our re-stationing, and we're just over halfway through these efforts. We are on track to complete the 2005 BRAC by the end of 2011. This will affect over 380,000 Soldiers, Family members and Civilians. And while it's a lot of turbulence, the construction on these new installations will significantly improve the quality of life for our Soldiers and Families.
So the bottom line, Mr. Chairman, is we've made progress, but we still face challenges as we work to restore balance and set the conditions for the future.
Now, I'd like to conclude my remarks with comments on three areas that are very important to us, and I would hope also important for this Committee.
First of all, sustaining our people. This budget contains money for housing, barracks, child care, youth centers, Warrior Transition Units and surviving spouse programs -- all critically important to sustaining our Soldiers, Civilians and Families through a period in which our country is asking so much of them. In general, we're strengthening our programs to build resiliency into the force to help them deal, not only with the challenges of the past, but with the challenges of the future.
We've all seen the manifestations of the stresses of eight and-a-half years at war. Elevated suicide rates, increased demand for behavioral health counseling and drug and alcohol counseling, increased divorce rates, increased numbers of Soldiers temporarily non-deployable from nagging injuries from previous deployments. And we've been moving aggressively to give our Soldiers and Families the skills they need to deal with these challenges.
In October, we began a program that we had been working on for more than 18 months with some of the best [psychology] experts in the country. The program is called Comprehensive Soldier Fitness. I've spoken about it here before.
And it's designed to give mental fitness the same level of effort that we give to physical fitness. We intended to provide our force the resiliency skills that they need to succeed in an era of persistent conflict. This program consists of four components: an online self-assessment to identify resiliency strengths. This assessment has already been taken by over 250,000 Soldiers.
Next, online self-help modules; third, Master Resilience Trainers like Sergeant Lawson. And these are designed to conduct resiliency training down to the unit level. We've trained over 600 Sergeant Lawsons at University of Pennsylvania already.
And finally, there will be resiliency training at every Army leader development school. This program shows great promise, and I'd be happy to discuss it further in the questions and answers.
Second, the reset of our equipment will be increasingly important as we complete the drawdown in Iraq over the next two years and for two-to-three years after the conclusion of combat operations. It's important to note that our reset efforts have been a key factor in maintaining the high operational readiness rates for ground and air systems in Iraq and Afghanistan. This budget provides almost $11 billion to reset our equipment. And sustained funding for reset will be essential to the long-term health of the force.
Finally, this budget, as you mentioned, Chairman [Levin], contains a significant adjustment to our modernization strategy. I believe that we are in a period of continuous and fundamental change and that we must continually adapt to deal with evolving threats. So in conjunction with the Secretary of Defense, we have transitioned away from the Future Combat Systems program to what we believe is an achievable, affordable modernization program for our brigade combat teams.
This program leverages the lessons that we've learned at war and the lessons that we learned from the Future Combat Systems program itself. It contains four elements: first of all, incrementally modernizing our networks over time to take advantage of rapid advances in technology; second, incrementally fielding capability packages to put the best equipment into the hands of our Soldiers as rapidly as it is available; third, incorporating MRAPs into our force; and then lastly, rapidly developing and fielding a new ground combat vehicle that meets the requirements of a 21st Century Army.
We intend to make this program a model for the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act. And we look forward to working with the committee on it.
In closing, I'd like to reiterate how proud I am of what the men and women of this great Army continue to accomplish at home and around the world. We've made progress in restoring balance, but we still face a tough road ahead. And we could not have done it without the Committee's support.
Thank you very much. And the Secretary [John McHugh] and I look forward to your questions.

Fukushima Watch: Power Companies Face the Shareholders
Japan's two biggest power companies shrugged off proposals submitted by their largest shareholders at annual meetings Wednesday.

At Tokyo Electric Power Co., operator of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the company's No. 1 shareholder, the district of Tokyo, asked for greater transparency in electricity-rate setting to be written into the corporate charter.
In western Japan, Kansai Electric Power Co.'s biggest shareholder, the city of Osaka, proposed the utility exit from nuclear power completely. JRT readers know Kansai as the operator of the Oi nuclear plant whose reactors are slated for immanent restart. Before last year's accident at Fukushima Daiichi effectively put the brakes on nuclear-power generation in Japan, the utility depended on reactors for about half its electricity supply.
"We will never exit from nuclear power," said Makoto Yagi, president of Kansai Electric, in response to Osaka's proposal.
Tepco and Kansai Electric both said those proposals were defeated — though they didn't say by how big a margin.
Those shareholder proposals likely didn't have much of a chance to begin with. Though Tokyo and Osaka are the largest single shareholders of Tepco and Kansai Electric, respectively, their holdings are still far lower than the combined stakes of the Japanese life insurers and banks that are the utilities' main institutional investors.
Those financial companies tend to vote with management of the companies whose shares they hold. And they're often creditors as well, which makes it unlikely they'd support a proposal that would hurt the profitability of their borrowers, like decommissioning nuclear plants would.
Meanwhile, Tepco's annual meeting was the last official appearance of Tsunehisa Katsumata, the utility's powerful chairman and former president, who led negotiations over last month's government bailout of the utility.
"As someone who has served as president and chairman during the last 10 years, I have a major responsibility (for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident). I'd like to offer my sincere apology," Mr. Katsumata said before the 4,471 shareholders who attended the meeting.
Mr. Katsumata was formally replaced as chairman by Kazuhiko Shimokobe, a government-appointed bankruptcy lawyer and corporate turnaround specialist. He will become a "corporate friend," an honorific bestowed by the company to former presidents or chairmen.
Mr. Katsumata will also remain an external director of Japan Atomic Power Co., a utility of which Tepco is the top shareholder.
Mr. Katsumata was so influential within Tepco — he was dubbed the utility's "shadow shogun" — that some shareholders voiced concern he might continue to exert influence even after his official exit.
Nonfiction-writer-turned-deputy-Tokyo governor Naoki Inose showed up to the meeting to make that point.
"This is a time of rebirth for Tepco. But you may become an obstacle to that goal," Mr. Inose told Mr. Katsumata during the meeting. "If you really wish for your company's rebirth, you, as a member of the old regime, should sever all ties with the company."
Mr. Katsumata's reply: "I will never poke my nose into the management of the company."

ORANGEBURG, SC---It was an uncharacteristic, three loss regular season for Blackville-Hilda but when the playoffs came around, the Hawks turned it back on with four straight wins including today's class A, division II state title game against Great Falls, 14 to 7. The Hawks used their opunishing running game to beat up on the Red Devils in front of a good crowd at SC State's Oliver C. Dawson stadium.
Great Falls got on the board first with a long touchdown pass from Gaither Baumgardner to Terrell Hutchinson on their first possesion. The Hawks would answer in the second quarter when senior Darrell White took the snap and run up the middle for a 75 yard touchdown. After the extra point was blocked, it was a 7 to 6 ballgame. Neither team could move the ball much until the first play of the fourth quarter. That was when Blackville broke another big run up the middle with senior Desmond Brown getting free for a 45 yard touchdown. After the two point conversion the Hawks had a 14 to 7 lead.
Blackville-Hilda's defense then came up big the rest of the quarter with Erick Bradley intercepting Great Falls last ditch effort to seal the win. Something that may have seemed out of reach after Great Falls took an early lead and it took some motivation from the head coach to get the Hawks back in it.
"We just tried to make them understand they had to keep their head in the ball game," says coach David Berry. " We made a little adjustment heere and there, you know, on defense and we said just don't play out of control; helter skelter. You've got to play under control, keep your composure and we're fortunate enough to come out on top."
Senior Darrell White also helped calm his teammates down. "Coach said keep your head up and we can come back and win this one," says White. "He said keep your head up. I told our players 'We win as a team and die as individuals.' We sat in their(the locker room), we prayed and got our head together and came out and played hawk football."

2. Always log off when you are done or are leaving your work area for an extended period of time.
3. Create an "uncrackable/unguessable" password. A non-word with one or more numbers inserted in the middle (not on the ends) is the best choice. To make a memorable and secure password use the letters from a phrase/song, add digits, and use upper and lower case letter (I Love Paris In The Spring – ILp1TS4 – inserted number one for the I). Detailed information on creating secure passwords can be found here:
4. Do not give your password to anyone for any reason or type your password when someone is watching. Don't write down your password, include it in automated scripts, store it on your hard drive/PDA, and don't ask the system to remember your id and password. Employees should never log on with their user id/password and let someone else use their access.
5. Never send confidential or personal information (e.g., password, credit card or account information, social security number, driver's license number, etc.) through the network. E-mail, chat, instant messaging, Internet Relay Chat (IRC – Internet version of CB radio that lets people all over the world have real time conversations) and talk are all equally unsafe.
6. To protect your computer against viruses and other security exploits install and routinely run anti-virus software. Update your anti-virus software regularly to ensure new virus signatures will be detected.
7. Update your operating system on a regular basis with the latest security patches, updates and drivers. This will ensure that your computer is up-to-date and will help prevent against viruses and other security breaches.
8. Never make or use illegal duplicates/copies of software, manuals, images, music, video, etc.
9. Dispose of personal or confidential information in a secure manner (e.g., shred, wipe, incinerate).
10. Make sure your data and applications are properly backed up. Store backups in a location away form the original source of the data (e.g., hard drive).
11. Make sure you protect your computer with surge protectors, by not eating or drinking near it, and by keeping your work area clean.
12. Maintain the confidentiality of all data, keeping in mind the privacy of all individuals.
You are the first defense stronghold in the fight to keep your computer free of spam, spyware and viruses. Downloading software or opening an email attachment can infect your computer with spyware or a computer virus.

text: This is a must read. This is the REAL "war on women" — this is not to say that things are perfect here in the USA and perfect for everyone, but it does put things in perspective. It tells you what is going on in other parts of the world and I sure wish those who are busy talking about the "war on women" would include talk about what is happening to women in some other countries. And to think this article below, which will stun many, is just the tip of the iceberg. Want something to think about? Try this: a 14 year girl in Pakistan got shot in the head by the Taliban for daring to go to school.

Add some extra personality to drinks and cupcakes for your upcoming celebration or party! Wrap these flags around skewers to make drink stirrers or around toothpicks to make cupcake flags. Not only is this a cheap DIY that you can easily create in no time at all, but you can use any picture that best fits theme of your party like I did for a recent Housewarming Party. If it's for a holiday such as Halloween, use a festive image. If it's someone's birthday, use their head shot. If you're watching a football game, use your team's logo! Continue reading for the steps on how you can add these whimsical touches to your event.
-Wooden Skewers or toothpicks (available at craft stores, cooking, or party supply stores)
-Avery white labels (I used template 5160, but you can find any size at office supply stores)
Step 1: Copy picture or logo onto label template and resize so that two images fit on each label.
Step 2: Print your label sheets.
Step 3: Peel and fold each label onto skewer or toothpick.

Yup, that's exactly what it's doing. What you want to do is add a
rule to allow established and related connections. Just before the
REJECT rule, add:
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
This assumes that your kernel has been compiled with connection
tracking and state matching. In addition, some protocols (like IRC
and FTP) require special helper kernel modules (ip_conntrack_irc.o and
ip_conntrack_ftp.o) to be loaded to completely support tracking them
in this manner.

Medjool Date Truffles
Back to Recipes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yields 24 truffles
pin it
3 cups Natural Delights Medjool Dates, pitted and chopped (about 30 dates)
2 shots espresso, brewed with 12 ounces water or one 12-ounce cup of strongly brewed coffee
1 cup pecans, chopped finely
1/2 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. finely grated orange or lemon zest
1/2 cup or more unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Soften dates by soaking them for 3 to 5 minutes in 12-ounces of warm (not hot) espresso or coffee. Drain dates and discard liquid. Mash dates on a cutting board with a fork to form a paste.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in pecans, coconut, cinnamon and zest Mix well and shape into 1-inch balls.
Place cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll truffles in cocoa powder to coat.
If you do not like the taste of coffee, use plain water to soften the dates.
You may substitute the pecans with another nut; walnuts work well too.
For a sweeter, firmer coating than the cocoa powder, melt 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler and dip truffles to coat. Allow truffles to cool for 30 minutes to harden.

GIMP 2.4.0 Released
Improvements to the free graphics program Gimp include a refreshed look, color management and enhanced selection tools.
A whole new default icon theme has been created for 2.4. The icons comply with the Tango style guidelines so GIMP doesn't feel out of place on any of the supported platforms. Additionally the icons also have enhanced usability on dark widget themes, which is
a common setting among digital artists. For artists preferring more desaturated color theme for their icons, an alternative icon theme is available for download.
New icons, new functions and new dialogs: Gimp has been through major changes.
GIMP now provides full support for color profiles allowing precise color modification throughout the whole 'digital darkroom' process.
The learning curve for the tools has been flattened as the key functionality is available without obscure shortcuts that confused GIMP beginners. Most of the existing shortcuts still work, but the functionality is either available through the tool options or made obsolete due to the interactive move and resize on canvas. While the tools have been redesigned to make them easier to understand for the newbies, all the former functionality is there.
The tool options now include a brush size slider that affects both the parametric and bitmap brushes. This has been an oft-requested feature from both digital painters and photo editors.
Printing has been largely improved. GIMP makes use of the advancements in the gtk+ printing API so that users can control all aspects of the printout with an easy to understand interface and immediate preview.
For more information on Gimp and explanatory videos on the improvements and new features, see the Release Notes. Gimp 2.4 will be available for Linux/Unix, Mac OSX and Windows shortly; the source code is available from the download archive. Not all mirror servers currently have the new version.

Engine CFD simulations are quite challenging in nature. One of the most important challenges is to create a CFD model ready for simulation.
ANSYS has developed a customized Workbench-based Analysis System (ICE system) to prepare CFD models for in-cylinder simulations. This system reduces the turnaround time for in-cylinder CFD model preparation to less than a couple of hours.
This webinar will focus on demonstrating this new IC system, its scope, how it can be used and the new planned features in this system in the future versions.
Join us for this free one-hour webinar and see how our users are benefiting from the insight that computer simulation offers.
