This room was clean and has comfortable and nice furniture. In the appartement was enough space for three women and lagguage :) this appartement is also close to the river and ferry. The E-Mail contact to the owner wasn't easy, we wrote her 4 days before the trip started and didn't get an answer. So we called her when we were there and got the keys. After all everything was easy and we had a nice stay.
Mas was very friendly!

Children's Music and Drama Camp
Park Central Baptist Church will hold its annual summer children's music and drama camp the week of August 5-9. The camp is held in the evening from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. A kickoff party on Sunday, August 4 at 5:00 will launch "Everyday Heroes". The children will perform the musical on Sunday, August 11 at 6:00. The camp is open to all children who have completed first grade and not yet entered seventh grade. Drama auditions will be held on Saturday, July 20 from 10:00 am to Noon at the church. For more information, go to www.parkcentralbaptist.org. The church is located at 7777 LBJ Freeway west of Coit Road.
Synopsis of musical: The stories of Gideon, Esther, and Nehemiah have never been told like this before! These three, ordinary Old Testament people were made extraordinary through God's power—a power that can make heroes out of us today.
Through the musical, the children will learn how to be a hero to people around them; it might be in a small way that no one else will even know about or it might be something so big everyone will know that God did it, not them!
Contest: Children are invited to write an essay, "What Makes an Everyday Hero," for a prize.

Jepson Art Institute
Jepson Art Institute, founded in Los Angeles in 1945 by artist Herbert Jepson, was an art school located at 2861 West 7th Street that flourished from 1947 to 1953 - becoming an important center for experimental figure drawing, art theory (aesthetics) and printmaking. Prior to this, Jepson served as an instructor at L.A.'s esteemed Chouinard Art Institute for a dozen years. On the faculty, internationally acclaimed figurative artists Rico Lebrun and Francis de Erdely attracted students who later achieved distinction in their own fields such as sculptor Marisol Escobar ("Marisol"), painters Frederick Hammersley and Delmer J. Yoakum, illustrator David Passalaqua, art director Richard Bousman, and architectural sculptor Malcolm Leland. Show business luminaries of the period such as Vincent Price, Zero Mostel and comedian Fannie Brice (artist/instructor William Brice's mother) often came to the Jepson Art Institute to hear the lectures of Lebrun and to sit in on classes with Jepson, who was known as a consummate figure draughtsman.
The art of serigraphy was pioneered at the Jepson Art Institute by printmaker Guy Maccoy, who was among the first to develop the techniques of silk screen printing as a fine art medium. Jepson was also the founder of the Western Institute of Serigraphy. Other instructors included Hammersley, William Brice, Howard Warshaw, Milly Rocque, Geno Pettit and Roger Hollenbeck. The Institute's Design department included teachers Bill Moore, a well known graphic designer, advertising art director C. Manfred Grove, Gene Allen, and Kip Stewart, who later became a well-known California designer.
The Jepson Art Institute closed in 1954.

Blacksburg, Va. (AP) A sea of people wearing orange and maroon flowed onto Virginia Tech's main campus lawn and listened as the names of the victims of worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history were read.
They gathered Wednesday on the same field where a white candle lit at the stroke of midnight began a day of mourning for the 32 people killed on the Blacksburg campus a year earlier. The university president also spoke to the crowd.
Governor Timothy Kaine ordered state flags flown at half-staff, and a moment of silence at noon was to be followed by the tolling of bells.
Some small, reflective gatherings were to take place during the day, with a candlelight vigil scheduled for Wednesday evening.

Location: Soybean/maize Germplasm, Pathology, and Genetics Research
Project Number: 5012-21000-026-00
Start Date: Mar 01, 2013
End Date: Feb 28, 2018
We will continue to expand the holdings of the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection by acquiring accessions from underrepresented areas of Asia and other relevant accessions through exchange and exploration. We will collect data on descriptive and agronomic traits to facilitate the use of the Collection. High quality seeds will be maintained and distributed. We will use available breeding, genetic, and genomic tools to exploit the diversity of the Collection to increase seed yield and improved disease or pest resistance. Exotic accessions not in the commercially used gene pool will be used to develop high yielding experimental lines and populations to expand the genetic base of soybean production in the U.S. and identify new alleles from exotic germplasm that increase seed yield. Mining of gene expression data will lead to identification of candidate defense-associated genes, and the genes will be isolated by RT-PCR cDNA cloning. Candidate defense genes will be over and under expressed in Arabidopsis and/or soybean, and plants assayed for changes in disease responses.

Pinole's Mary Horton is calling it a career after almost two decades on the City Council.
"You might ask why, especially when I have a little over a year on my term," she said. "I just feel like the time is ripe for me to move on."
Horton, who first was elected in 1990, said a recent two-month hiatus from her job as an employment counselor for the Alameda County Vocational Program in Oakland while she recovered from shoulder surgery gave her a new perspective.
The council has 30 days to appoint someone to serve the remainder of Horton's term or call an election.
Horton became mayor late last year as part of the normal council rotation, but she stepped down in April, citing the demands of her job. Virginia Fujita, then mayor pro tem, became mayor two weeks later.
Horton's resignation from the council, which she announced near the end of Tuesday's meeting shortly before midnight, appeared to catch her fellow council members by surprise.
"I'm kind of shocked, Mary," Fujita said.
"We're all speechless," said Councilwoman Debbie Long, who was elected to the council along with Fujita and Roy Swearingen in 2008; Swearingen had been off the council for 18 years after completing his first term in 1990.
Pete Murray, who served on the council with Horton continuously since 1992, said, "You've walked to your own drummer. You have left a legacy here."
Horton's tenure on the council was sometimes collegial, sometimes not. She and former Councilwoman Maria Alegria became bitter opponents when Horton backed Laura Canciamilla in the 2006 Democratic primary campaign for state Assembly while Alegria backed Mark DeSaulnier, the eventual winner.
In the 2006 council race, Alegria backed newcomer Stephen Tilton over Horton, who barely held on to her seat, finishing third behind Tilton in a four-candidate race for three seats.
Horton supported the recall of Alegria and Tilton in 2008 over their friendship with a restaurateur who owed the city money, among other issues.
After Tuesday's meeting, Horton noted that she and her husband, Will, both lost a father last year and that other family members died recently.
"I was just ready to move on," she said. "I'm a young 52, and I have the rest of my life ahead of me."
She said she would pursue personal projects such as writing, noting she had been a journalism major and also is an artist. She said she might write children's books.
Horton said she is proud of the city's accomplishments during her tenure. She cited the Youth Center, the new City Hall, Pinole Grove Senior Housing, the Pinole Senior Village, Pinole Valley fire station, Pinole Vista Crossing and Pinole Valley shopping centers, a reduction in crime and the solution of the Amber Swartz kidnapping.
Her finest moment of all, she said, was seeing "the shine on the young people's faces when they spoke to save their school," a reference to the successful drive earlier this year to persuade the West Contra Costa school district to keep Shannon School open, at least through next school year.

Regions: Financial Winner
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Regions Financial (RF) was the winner among the largest U.S. financial names on Tuesday, with shares rising over 2% to close at $6.61.
The broad indexes ended mixed, after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned about the "fiscal cliff," which is the set of tax increases and federal spending cuts mandated for 2013 under the August 2011 deal between President Obama and the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives, without further action from the President and Congress.
Speaking at the New York Economic Club, Bernanke warned that "the automatic tax increases and spending cuts that make up the fiscal cliff, absent offsetting changes, would pose a substantial threat to the recovery--indeed, by the reckoning of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and that of many outside observers, a fiscal shock of that size would send the economy toppling back into recession." Bernanke also said that early next year "it will be necessary to approve an increase in the federal debt limit to avoid any possibility of a catastrophic default on the nation's Treasury securities and other obligations."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was dragged into the red by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) , with shares dropping 12% to close at $11.71, after the computer hardware giant reported a net loss of $6.9 billion, or $3.49 a share for its fiscal fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, which included an $8.8 billion write-down of goodwill, related to former H-P CEO Leo Apotheker's disastrous decision in August 2011 to purchase Autonomy for $11 billion.
After taking over as CEO in in September 2010, Apotheker oversaw saw HP's launch of its new TouchPad, which featured WebOS, the operating system acquired by HP in July 2010, as part of its acquisition of Palm. After launching the TouchPad on July 1, 2011, HP just seven weeks later on Aug. 18, 2011 announced that HP would cancel the TouchPad and all other WebOS products, including smart phones, while considering a spin-off of the company's core PC business, in order to "sharpen HP's focus on its strategic priorities of cloud, solutions and software with an emphasis on enterprise, commercial and government markets."
That new focus for the company included the expensive acquisition of Autonomy.
Apotheker was dismissed one month later on Sept. 22, 2011, with Meg Whitman taking over as new CEO. After a complete review of HP's businesses and strategy, Whitman and the board of directors decided not to spin-off the PC business, underscoring just how dysfunctional the company's board was, before Whitman took over. HP announced the completion of the Autonomy acquisition on Oct. 3, 2011.
HP on Tuesday said that most of the $8.8 billion "impairment charge is linked to serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy Corporation plc that occurred prior to HP's acquisition of Autonomy and the associated impact of those improprieties, failures and misrepresentations on the expected future financial performance of the Autonomy business over the long-term," and that "the balance of the impairment charge is linked to the recent trading value of HP stock."

Re: Equitable?
Niadh Feathers
Good question. I think the dynamic is because she is female, just from my observations. This also is a student that has other dynamic issues which often come to the for front during practice. I am not trying to psycoanylis this (and I did not take your pst as such) but simply to find responses from women on such. See if others had similar experiences. I know that we as a society often have subconcious reactions to (specifiy gender) in (given role).
The things you mention are possibilities, but there may also be the simple issue the one instructor is not as good as the other one. In most dojo's where multiple teachers share the teaching, some of the teachers' classes are good and some are often pretty mediocre. It's not uncommon for people to do the obvious and simply not want to attend the classes that are not as good. I know of many cases where people won't attend a certain female instructor's class simply because she's not very good ... and they're not interested in the social BS of attending so that it looks like they're not sexist. No one questions the "sexism" when students avoid a male instructor's classes for the same reasons of mediocrity, so maybe too much is being read into the motives of people not attending females' classes, seminars, etc. Male or female, the demonstrably good instructors will draw students; the not-as-good instructors won't draw the students equally. It's the way things work.

to especially suit the D100. You may read and memorize this chart for entertainment while you are waiting for your backorderd/pre-ordered D100 to arrive. This chart is also suitable for digital printing from acanned 35 mm film at a printer output of 240 dpi at sizes up to 10x15 (approximately A3). The circle of confusion (COC) for these calculations is 0.016 mm (16 um) which is 2 D100 pixels--each effective D100 pixel is 8 um square. (For printing digital files from scanned 35 mm film, this COC corresponds to two pixels at 240 dpi at 10x15 print size--too small to be noticed by the naked eye, even fairly close.) Hyperfocal distances set using this COC should be essentially indistinguishable from pin-sharp. For real sticklers, you can use distances for a COC of 8 um by doubling the tabulated hyperfocal distances. The D100 can't resolve anyghing smaller than that.Cheers.

So for those of us that own a D100, and have no clue what you said what is it in plain english?
#5. "The hyperfocal distance..." | In response to Reply # 4
...is the distance to which you focus your lens manually to get maximum depth of field that extends to infinity. The image will be sharply focused (to a resolution defined by the "circle of confusion") from 1/2 the hyperfocal distance to infinity. Hyperfocal focusing is most often used in landscapes. The circle of confusion I chose for the D100 corresponds to two pixel elements in the final image at highest resolution--that is, acceptable focus is defined as a point being focused to no more than two pixels wide on the D100, which should be perceived as quite sharp in the final image. If you want the ultimate in sharpness, double the hyperfocal distances to focus a single point on a single D100 pixel element. Can't get any sharper than that with a digital sensor.Hope that helps.Cheers.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The University of Pikeville football team has landed a signing class that totals some 66 and introduced them at a ceremony on campus Wednesday in an event at the Hoops Athletics Facility.
The National Signing Day event saw the Bears unveil 43 high-school signees, 20 mid-year signees and the return of three players who had left the program.
Coach Dudley Hilton, who is entering his third season as head coach of the Bears, was proud of the class and what it represents. "Our staff has not stopped working on this recruiting class and I think it has been proven today," he said. "We're very happy with the players we've been able to bring in here and those who will be joining us at the University of Pikeville.
"It's a great day for us."
Included in the list are six transfers from NCAA Div. I schools. They are:
• Nu'keese Richardson, a wide receiver from the University of Tennessee
• Jatavious Miller, a linebacker from West Virginia University and Hampton University
• Morgan Alexander, a running back from North Carolina State; and
• Quarterback Dominique Blackmon, linebacker Jeremiah Walters and safety Joshua Walters, all from the University of Idaho.
Coach Allan Holland Jr., associate head coach and offensive coordinator, said the work isn't over. "We aren't finished yet," he said. "There's a lot of talent out there and we will continue working to fill our needs. We're proud of what we've accomplished as a staff, but we know there's more work to do."
The entire recruiting class is listed below, broken down into the three categories:

Wandawega Lake Resort, Part 2: Camp History
Camp Wandawega co-owner David Hernandez provides a brief history of the resort and shares stories of his times as a youth at this rustic camp.
So this place has a really kind of interesting and colorful history. I think it was originally built during Prohibition specifically to be a Speakeasy. So it started out kind of below the radar, and it stayed that way for a long time. During the Prohibition era, in addition to having a speakeasy, they also started running a brothel here. After Prohibition was repealed, the brothel stayed in business, so to speak, all the way to 1951, when the property was bought by a Polish family from Chicago, and thatâs when it became a legitimate lake resort for 10 years, from 1951 to 1961. In 1961, it was bought by the Catholic Church, and it was run by an order of priests called the Latvian Marian Fathers, and thatâs how my family connection came to be with this place. My momâs side of the family were all refugees from Latvia. They all fled during World War II, and this was a place where the Latvian refugees could come together and enjoy their kind of traditional Latvian folk songs, and they would wear traditional Latvian clothes and have big bonfires up on the hill and sing folk songs and things like that. Weâd start every day by raising the flags, and we would sing the Latvian national anthem and the American national anthem, and then we would do calisthenics on the basketball court. During the day, we would do traditional camp projects up on the hill and then just basically run around all day and be kids: fishing and boating and camping, playing flashlight tag and things like that. There could have been maybe 20 or 30 of us little Latvian kids running aroundâa lot of my cousins and a lot of my friends. In the early 2000s, Tereasa and I started renting the bedroom in the top floor of the hotel from Father Baginskis, I think maybe for two seasons. We just had our own room here again, and we started getting reconnected with the community and reconnected with the place. We ended up telling Father Baginskis, âHey, if you ever have to sell this place, do us a favor and just let us know before you put it on the market.â One day we got the call from him, and he said he got the call from the Vatican and they wanted him to sell the place and come back to Latvia. Before we bought the placeâwhen we were rentingâthere was probably five or six families that were all in some way either Latvian families or somehow connected to the Latvian community. But part of the deal was that you had to support the place in terms of labor and gardening and landscaping and making repairs, and that goes back to the history of this place originally with my family going back to the 1960s. A lot of the things that you see around hereâthe church pews for Mass in the grass, all the picnic tables up on the hill, the terraces over the beachâmy dad and all of his buddies built all that stuff originally back in the 60s and 70s. So now, weâre kind of repairing the things that my dad and his friends originally built. My daughter now, Charlie, whoâs about 21 months, sheâs the fifth generation of my family to be able to enjoy this place. Weâre hoping that when she grows up, she cares about this place as much as we do and will want to keep it in the family for another generation or two.

The humbling of financial capitalism will usher a new era where people are valued for what they contribute to society rather than their ability to dissemble.
With men bearing the brunt of the economic contraction, "the US recession has opened up the biggest gap between male and female unemployment rates since records began in 1948," says a report in the London Financial Times. Men have lost almost 80% of the 5.1 million jobs lost in the US since the onset of the recession pushing male unemployment to 8.8% as against the female jobless rate of 7%.

Mater Dei has proved to be everything they are with their preseason hype. Yet who is the number 2 team in the land? Many teams can argue.. Findlay Prep???
After beating South Atlanta last night and having one of best players in the country i think Le Flore has a shot lil penny.
Oak Hill is number 2, findley number 3. Findley is the Oak Hill of the west, which means they arent as good. Oak hill plays the hardest schedule in the nation and they are still undefeated. They are number two and would love to see an oak hill-mater dei game.
Legend Status
I would love to see Oak Hill Mater Dei. When was the last time a team got more press than Oak Hill? I agree with your point abt Findlay Prep too bc they do travel everywhere by their schedule but do not play the quality teams Oak Hill plays against
I wish we could, although we might see Findley vs. oak Hill in the Nike tourny at the end of the year. i think all of the best teams who dont play for a state title are going to play.
Yea the Nike natl tourny will really seperate the men from the boys. Mater Dei plays for a state title so they might be out of contention then.
Oak Hill vs Mater Dei would be matchup for national championship. I think Mater Dei's starting five is too strong but then again Oak Hill is Oak Hill
Oak hill is like the Yankees of High School basketball, or better yet like the Salisbury Seagulls of high school basketball. It doesnt matter who is wearing the jersey, or the players they have. They are always tough to beat. I would say oak hill would win, they play a harder schedule.
Probably like the Yankess i never heard of Salisbury...weird

Body Composition Methodologies
During a body composition visit, many methodologies are employed to obtain data on various functions and characteristics comprising the "body composition" of our participants. Below is a brief description of the types of samples taken and outcomes observed in the numerous methodologies involved during such a body composition visit. All methodologies are performed on a pre-determined schedule for those Fels Longitudinal Study participants consenting to participate in that portion of the testing. For a more detailed description of any of the methodologies described below, follow the appropriate link.
Anthropometry, the measurement of body parts, is completed on all participants at a variety of ages and growth ranges. Circumferences, bone breadths, lengths, weights and skinfolds are measured and recorded for various regions on each individual. Techniques in anthropometry and anthropometry for the elderly have been an area of interest for the Lifespan Health Research Center's staff.
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is performed on participants who fit the height and weight parameters of the Lunar densitometer. By scanning different anatomical regions, total body as well as segmented determinations may be made for, among other variables, bone mineral content, bone mineral density, muscle mass and percent of body fat.
Leanness, or specifically the amount of fat free mass, as well as total body fat and percent body fat is measured through the use of underwater weighing. In order to precisely calculate the amount of fat free mass, the lung residual volume is calculated to determine the volume of trapped air at maximal expiration. The amount of trapped air in the lungs adds more "float" to the individual, simulating increased body fat.
Bioelectrical impedance testing is performed in order to determine the amount of various body fluids as well as a measure for leanness. Electrodes are placed upon hands and feet and a small electrical current is passed through the body.
Measurements for subcutaneous fat is made through the use of ultrasound. Ultrasound is performed and measured on participants at 5 key sites on the body. Subcutaneous fat is also measured through the anthropometry portion of the testing.
Total body water is determined by the method of deuterium oxide (D2O) dilution. Deuterium is a non-radioactive naturally occurring molecule of water. The hydrogen atoms in deuterium are heavier than those that normally combine with oxygen to form water. Saliva samples are collected before other testing begins to establish a baseline measure of deuterium in the saliva. An amount of pure D2O is weighed, measured, and added to de-ionized water which is given to participants to drink. After a two hour fast and no urine eliminations, another saliva sample is taken and the amount of D2O remaining in the saliva is measured.
Fasting blood samples are collected on participants by a venous draw. From these samples levels of glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the apolipoproteins A1, A2, and B are observed. Samples are also taken to determine the levels of the hormones DHEA SO4, estradiol, free testosterone, total testosterone, and insulin within participants between the ages of 8 and 18 and in females over 40. Since estradiol levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, we attempt to collect estradiol samples on day 21 ± 3 of the menstrual cycle in those not taking oral contraceptives and on day 14 ± 3 of the cycle of those taking oral contraceptives.
Blood pressure is monitored and recorded on all participants. Grip strength on both hands is recorded.
Hand radiographs of the participants from age 8 through 18 are also taken. These radiographs are assessed to determine the skeletal ages of the individual and are scored through various established skeletal maturation assessment procedures.
Other data is also gathered through the use of questionnaires. Surveys are filled out by the participants to find out medical history, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol use, sexual maturity, and for females, menstrual history. For each visit, the participant fills out the relevant forms, updating us on this information.

They come in many forms. Can you spot the Goddess here?
Sylvia Comic: Unlikely Goddesses
I am safe. I have no goddesses……..just one God.
My Goddess is of French Press Coffee, and she appears every morning.
You mean, there are cats who aren't goddesses? Aside from the obvious 50 per cent?
Love the beret. Chats Chapeaux, another fine line of Sylvia products.
I live by one major rule in my household. Never question the deity of the cat. We're all happier when I adhere to it.
Wasn't there a lovely story . . . (Chinese, maybe?) — about a wise man who cut the sleeve off of his robe rather than disturb the cat who was asleep on it?
That's the way to treat cats in the household.

Several manufacturers found room on their show stand for some of their greatest hits from the past.
Tucked in behind the new SL63 AMG, Mercedes had a 1980 450SL. This blast from the past was painted a perfectly period malaise-era tobacco brown with a tan interior and the optional hard top. The list of specs is a sign of just how far the SL has come: 4.5-liter V-8, 160 hp, 230 lb-ft, 3-speed automatic, 3615 lbs, 112 mph, and 0-60 in 11.5 seconds.
Considering how BMW is trying to pitch its new 1-series as the spiritual reincarnation of the 2002, it's no surprise that the company had a classic 2002 on display at New York. The pristine 1972 2002, in orange, is the high-performance tii model, and is owned by racing legend Bobby Rahal.
Porsche won the unofficial contest for the coolest vintage car. To coincide with the U.S. debut of its RS 60 Boxster, the company showed the car's racing namesake, a 1960 Porsche RS-60. The car has an air-cooled, 1.7-liter flat 4 that makes 170 hp (at 7800 rpm), which was enough to win the 1960 Targa Florio.

Coach of the Year
John Vuong, Campolindo
When Scott Bishop, who won two state titles, resigned as coach of the Campolindo High girls volleyball team last year, finding the right replacement was not going to be an easy task. It's safe to say the school couldn't have done better when it hired John Vuong, who lived up to the enormous expectations. Vuong led the Cougars to the co-championship of the Diablo Foothill Athletic League, the North Coast Section and Northern California Division III titles and a 30-5 record.
ANNIE SHURTZ, Campolindo, H, Sr. -- The Diablo Foothill Athletic League MVP led the Cougars to the North Coast Section and Northern California Division III title. She finished with 500 kills, 54 blocks and 49 aces.
SABRINA CLAYTON, California, H, Sr. -- The Santa Clara-bound Clayton helped the Grizzlies to an East Bay Athletic League title and their first NCS championship in 30 years. She had 583 kills, 259 digs, 57 aces and 44 blocks and was named the EBAL's MVP.
MICHELLE LAWRENCE, Northgate, H, Sr. -- The Colorado State-Bound Lawrence led the Broncos to a 30-9 season and finished the year with 457 kills, 227 digs, 35 blocks and 31 aces. She was the Diablo Valley Athletic League's MVP.
KYRA HOLT, Albany, H, Sr. -- Holt, who is bound for Washington State, was the MVP of the Tri-County Athletic League's Rock Division and led the Cougars to a 34-5 record and the semifinals of the NCS Division III playoffs. She finished with 438 kills and 55 aces.
EMILY REDER, San Ramon Valley, H, Sr. -- A four-year standout on the varsity level, Reder earned first team All-EBAL honors in 2012 with 589 kills, 479 digs, 63 aces and 31 blocks.
SOPHIE SEIBERTH, Campolindo, S, Sr. -- Seiberth finished her third season as Campolindo's setter with 920 assists, 65 digs and 42 aces. She was first team All-DFAL.
SOPHIA MAR, Bishop O'Dowd, S, Jr. -- The ever-improving Mar was the West Alameda County Conference's MVP and finished the season with an 1,026 assists in 38 matches.
KYLE CARSON, Bishop O'Dowd, L, Jr. -- Carson continued the tradition of outstanding liberos at Bishop O'Dowd. She was first-team All-WACC and had 722 digs for the season.
Brianna Karsseboom, Bishop O'Dowd, H, Sophomore -- Had 646 kills and was first team All-WACC.
Phoebe Grunt, St. Joseph Notre Dame, H, Sr. -- Was first-team All-TCAL and had 414 kills, 137 blocks, 92 digs, 89 aces.

Roger in third in Toronto
Roger advanced to the third round in Toronto with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-0 win over Dmitry Tursunov of Russia. He will now face Xavier Malisse of Belgium, who defeated Thomas Johansson of Sweden 7-6 (7), 6-3.
Roger rolled his right ankle in a hard fall against Tursunov but said he was uninjured. "It was definitely a tough match against a guy who has become confident," Roger said. "I was happy the way I closed out the third set because it was really getting tough in the second."
Roger has not met Xavier Malisse for four years. Before that period they played each other a total of seven times, Roger winning six of the matches. Malisse has reached two tournament finals this year (Adelaide and Delray Beach) and qualified for the semi-finals in Indianapolis.

Sapphire HD5770 Crossfire Review
Published: 29th March 2010 | Source: Sapphire | Price: £249.96 |
Wow. That almost left us breathless.
Back at the start we wondered if the speed to which the community latched on to the performance that a HD4770 Crossfire setup had, would ATI deliberately detune the HD5770 so that the HD5870 still was the weapon of choice for extreme framerates.
Clearly, and comprehensively, they didn't.
Sapphire have produced a card that gave us enough headroom for a 110MHz core and 200MHz GDDR5 overclock. Probably the most surprising aspect is that the little HD5770 easily kept up with its bigger brothers even in standard trim. Once they were run in an overclocked state it sprang into the lead and, barring one test, never relinquished it.
Given the relative performance levels of the £350 HD5870 and £250 HD5850 in our HD5000 series roundup, we expected that two HD5770s, costing around £250 for the pair, would give us around HD5850 performance or maybe a little more. How foolish preconceptions can appear in hindsight.
So at the start we set out to see if a good value choice was still a HD5850 or if a pair of HD5770s in Crossfire could soothe your gaming ache without upsetting your significant other. And the answer has to be neither. HD5770s in Crossfire aren't merely a good value choice, they are a great performance choice regardless of budget.
Sure if you've won the lottery, are the Chairmen of a bank or maybe even Bernie Ecclestone then for bleeding edge performance you still have to splash the cash on a couple of HD5870s.
For us mere mortals we can get 5870 performance, for 5850 money. And that definitely is good value, in the best meaning of the term and for this reason we have no qualms about giving it our Editors Choice award.
Many thanks to Sapphire for providing the HD5770s for todays review. Discuss in our forums.

If funds weren't too much of an issue would it still be recommended to go with a 5870 instead?Quote
If you plan on purchasing a setup and sticking with it until some future release, go 5770.Quote
And another question (more relating to my setup) - are two 8x PCI-E lanes sufficient? Would a better chipset than P45 be worth investing in to make the most from these cards?Quote
do you have stats on that? how does the dual 5770 compare?
So much for driving round a track. Can we shoot people in the head now?

It's so pleasing to see these reviews, after buying these cards 4 months ago, only because we can't find a 5850 at a reasonable price...Quote

Here is a shot with everything maxed on one card in the menu.
And the same menu about twenty minutes later with the second card fitted.
I had a gap between getting one card and the other because the second was an RMA exchange for my dead 280GTXQuote

I too have a board that shares the bandwidth into 2 x 8xPCIE. I read for about a week before deciding that it would be fine. In my 3dvantage I scored 14,400 or so on 3dmarks. The test system used for the review here probably cost 2-3 times what mine did. My motherboard was £30 and my CPU will not touch an I7 (Phenom 2 940).
So yes, the particular set up used here scored 3000 more 3dmarks than mine did and it probably allowed the 5770s to stretch their legs more but 14,400 is still a very respectable score for a system like mine.
I did read somewhere that putting the same system into a motherboard with twin 16X PCIE slots gained about 1000 points more than the system with 2 x 8X PCIE slots.
Also consider that your 280 will score about what mine did in Vantage - about 9000 3dmarks. So to sum it up if you already have a system with 2 x 8x PCIE slots then it would be financial suicide for the levels of performance you will gain (hardly any tbh).Quote
GPU @ 875 (XXX speed, now you can see why paying £35 for this paltry OC is brainless) and ram at 1350 (XFX XXX @ 1300).
I'm not going to push them any harder as I don't need them going wrong. It's also doing a Nelly (getting hot in here) and I don't fancy taking off all my clothes.Quote

Grimms' Fairy Tales
by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Grimms' Fairy Tales Marriage Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Tale.Page)
Quote #1
Now it happened that a prince came to the forest one day, and when he arrived at the dwarfs' cottage, he decided to spend the night. Then he went to the mountain and saw the coffin with beautiful Snow White inside. […] he said to the dwarfs, "Let me have the coffin, and I'll pay whatever you want." (Snow White.188)
We're not sure which is more disturbing, the fact that he's basically trying to buy a bride, or the fact that he's attracted to a dead chick. Still, let's roll with it.
Quote #2
The king then went over to the tree and saw the beautiful princess with the gold star on her forehead. He was so enraptured by her beauty that he called up to her and asked her if she would be his wife. She did not respond but nodded a little with her head. (The Twelve Brothers.35)
Because marrying someone you just met who can't even give verbal consent is awesome. Oh wait, that's not right.

Bedroom tax protestors joining 'benefit justice summit'
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government
Savers get a helping hand with loan shark's profits
Tenants protesting against the bedroom tax and other welfare cuts are to join a 'benefit justice summit'.
The summit will see residents come together with trade unions, disabled people and other campaigners against the Government's forthcoming raft of benefit changes.
The protestors are to meet at the University of London Union on March 9.
Over 70 Facebook pages have now been set up to protest the bedroom tax.
The pages have titles as diverse as 'Your pets and the bedroom tax' and 'Midlothian against the shocking unfair bedroom tax'.
Commenting on a page called 'Bedroom tax revolt', Facebook member Rick Campbell wrote: "The bedroom tax is an insidious piece of government programming (in my opinion). There are many different aspects of it and welfare reform in general.
"People could put their homes at risk and the future of those homes and the communities in jeopardy for generations to come."
The Government has defended its imminent policy, which will see social housing tenants with spare bedrooms losing up to 25 percent of their housing benefit unless they downgrade their homes.
The work and pensions secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, has said that the bedroom tax is not about "punishing" tenants and is urgently needed to reduce property waiting lists.

GM to Give Ignition Switch Financial Fallout Estimate In August
General Motors Co. Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra said it likely won't be until August before the company can provide an estimate on the financial fallout from the ignition switch recall.
Ms. Barra said an outlook will be given when compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg begins rolling out a compensation program for victims injured or killed in ignition switch related accidents. The company will begin accepting claims on Aug. 1.
"At that point we will make an estimate," Ms. Barra said before the start of the company's annual meeting at its Detroit headquarters
Estimates for the price GM could pay to compensate victims, legal fees and any settlements or judgments range from less than $5 billion to as much as $7 billion.
Ms. Barra also declined to say if the company will increase the charges it has taken to this point to pay cover the costs associated with a variety of recalls. GM has already taken a charge of $1.7 billion for recalling and repairing 2.6 million vehicles equipped with potentially defective ignition switches along with other vehicles for other potential safety problems.
Shareholders were gathering in Detroit for both an overall business update and any details on how the ignition switch recall, fines and investigations will impact the auto maker's balance sheet.
The company released an internal report Thursday which cleared Ms. Barra and her executive team of any wrongdoing but criticized the company for a corporate culture built on shirking responsibility and management inaction. The company dismissed 15 people and disciplined five others.
"We feel we have taken the appropriate action as it relates to the ignition switch recall," Ms. Barra said when asked if more action will be taken against employees.

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Madness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"He [Marlow's white companion] was very anxious for me to kill somebody, but there wasn't the shadow of a carrier near. I remembered the old doctor—'It would be interesting for science to watch the mental changes of individuals, on the spot.' I felt I was becoming scientifically interesting." (1.50)
Both Marlow's companion and Marlow himself find themselves going mad because the white friend has obviously been attacked. He wants Marlow to kill the assaulters, but there is nobody around. Marlow jokes that because his world no longer makes sense, he is becoming "scientifically interesting."
Quote #11
"I went to work the next day, turning, so to speak, my back on that station. In that way only it seemed to me I could keep my hold on the redeeming facts of life. Still, one must look about sometimes; and then I saw this station, these men strolling aimlessly about in the sunshine of the yard. I asked myself sometimes what it all meant. They wandered here and there with their absurd long staves in their hands, like a lot of faithless pilgrims bewitched inside a rotten fence […] I've never seen anything so unreal in my life." (1.54)
Marlow convinces himself that the only way he can remain sane is to work by himself, obsessing about fixing the steamboat. However, he finds himself sneaking peeks at his fellow men and discovering that everything is as absurd as he'd feared. The men are so aimless that Marlow compares them to pilgrims who have lost their faith or been bewitched. He seems to hate their aimlessness because it contradicts so sharply with his keen sense of purpose.
Quote #12
"I was smoking my pipe quietly by my dismantled steamer, and saw them all cutting capers in the light, with their arms lifted high, when the stout man with moustaches came tearing down to the river, a tin pail in his hand, assured me that everybody was 'behaving splendidly, splendidly,' dipped about a quart of water and tore back again. I noticed there was a hole in the bottom of his pail." (1.55)
A man with a broken pail is trying to put out the fire: yep, we're thinking this is symbolic. He's the only one who seems to care about the fire, but—in the context of this scene—trying to put it out seems insane.

World Wide Open by Love and Theft
Given the hyperactive pace of this trio's debut single, "Runaway," World Wide Open is surprisingly subdued—the sound of three young men with energy to spare but plenty of questions to fill the quieter moments.
The slow-rolling title cut opens the album in the latter mode: Roads / Which one will I take in this world wide open? Love and Theft's easily shifting lead vocals and three-part harmonies bespeak a band that knows there's no "I" in team, although it would be nice to get more of a feel for the individual personalities here.
Nonetheless, World Wide Open is as full of promise as its title.

Status: alive
Born in Matagorda County in 1872 and later moving to Houston, the Honorable Hortense Sparks Ward was at the forefront of the women's rights movement in Texas. She was the first woman to pass the Bar Examination in Texas, the first woman attorney in Houston, the first woman to register to vote in Harris County, and became a Special Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. She continued to practice law until the death of her husband in 1939 when she retired. She died in 1944 and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, where a Historical Marker and this letterbox honor her life.
From I45 north of downtown, take the N. Main exit, cross N. Main, then immediately turn right into Hollywood Cemetery. Go straight about 0.2 mile, then turn left on gravel road and park by Historical Marker for Hortense Ward.
From her grave walk south back to the main road and go right toward the cemetery entrance about 75 yards to a stone bench on left with the name KACAL. From the bench, go south 22 steps to a large stump at the fence. Microbox is in a crevice at left base under rocks. Please be discreet and replace as described.

Upcoming Programs
Treasuring the Season and its Stories
The days right after Christmas always bring back for me those wonderful childhood memories of unwrapped presents, new toys, and the time off from school to enjoy the gifts. I can especially remember the pleasure of reading the new books which were always a part of my collection of Christmas presents.
While the world moves on from the feasts we've just celebrated—through New Year's with its parties and bowl games, the Church still lingers in the Christmas season, and tells more of the stories surrounding the birth of Jesus and celebrates the saints associated with this time of year.
In the same spirit, I suggest that you treat these liturgical days of Christmas which remain as a time to savor the stories of Christmas. Perhaps you've not had a chance during the rush of the season to sit down with the Scriptures which tell the stories of Jesus' birth and the events which Matthew and Luke describe so poetically. At our Web site, AmericanCatholic.org, we've been offering short video selections which discuss these "infancy narratives." You can still find them daily through January 11
American Catholic Radio
also continues a look at the Christmas story through the eyes of St. Francis, with our interview with Franciscan Sister Kathy Warren, in the first program of 2010.
At the conclusion of his stories about Jesus' birth and the events following, Luke tells us that Mary "treasured all these things in her heart." Let's imitate her and use these days after Christmas to do the same.
