Ninety-five more city emergency vehicles will be equipped with new mobile computers because of a $456,071 purchase approved Tuesday by the Amarillo City Commission.
Other business
The commission:
Awarded a $77,940 contract to L.A. Fuller & Sons for the construction of a 10-inch sanitary sewer main crossing beneath West Amarillo Boulevard, north of Gem Lake Road.
Approved a $55,100 contract for the Parkhill, Smith & Cooper engineering firm to provide construction-phase engineering for a project to rehabilitate a chlorination/dechlorination system at the Hollywood Road Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The city earmarked $299,754 in the 2009-2010 capital improvement budget for the new Amarillo Emergency Communications Center to pay for Panasonic Toughbook laptops and accessories, according to city information.
The rest of the cost will be covered with $156,317 in state homeland security program grant money.
The computers will be installed in 95 police, fire, animal control and emergency management vehicles so first responders can receive "the quickest, most complete information" from 911 dispatchers while in the field, Deputy City Manager Jarrett Atkinson said.
City Information Technology Manager James Brown called the Toughbooks "the industry standard for public safety today."
"They meet all the military standards," he said. "You just can't hurt them."
The city saved an estimated $69,000 on the purchase by seeking competitive bids rather than going through the Texas Department of Information Resources Cooperative Purchasing Program, Brown said.
The commission approved separate purchases of Microsoft Office software operating licenses for the Toughbooks at a cost of $28,858 and mobile computer mounts for police department vehicles at a cost of $27,075.
Atkinson said the swivel mounts will allow police department personnel to use the computers from either front seat and to push the computers back toward the dashboard when not in use.
The city already had purchased 24 of the Toughbooks for some fire fleet vehicles, Brown said.
"They've been installed since mid-October, and we're having good luck with those," he said.
And, a state homeland security grant expected to come to the city will buy an estimated 35 more laptops, which should complete the rollout to most city emergency vehicles, he said.

The New Jersey Department of Education is pushing ahead with new online assessments for students — whether some districts are ready or not.
By the 2014-15 school year, about 1 million students in grades three to 11 will be expected to take their annual state math and language arts exams using laptops or tablets, reports NJ Spotlight.
The pilot evaluations of the tests — developed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) — are slated for about a dozen districts in Spring 2015, the report said.
PARCC is a consortium of 22 states, including New Jersey, as well as the District of Columbia, that receives federal funding and works together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and math.
While state officials say students should already be using technology daily, several district leaders predict a steep transition from pencils to iPads, according to the NJ Spotlight report.
Teresa Rafferty, Piscataway's interim superintendent, estimates that her district will have to shell out $1.6 million initially for the new testing format.
"We are certainly not up to the technology needed right now, and we have only two years before we need to be," she said.
The education system is already overburdened with testing, Superintendent Charles Sampson of the Freehold Regional High School District said. He questioned whether "our technology dollars would be put to better use for student learning, rather than ensuring we have enough workstations" for online testing.
Last April, Gov. Chris Christie and state Education Commissioner Chris Cerf unveiled a proposal to phase out the state's current graduation tests in favor of multiple tests that are meant to identify lagging students earlier. The multi-series tests are also part of PARCC's effort to match common core standards.
Bari Erlichson, the state DOE's assistant commissioner, noted that the online testing is still in the works but said students should already have the technology at their fingertips.
"These kid of devices should already be part of their instructional technology, Erlichson said. "They should be using these devices in the daily learning."

Recipe Servings
Recipe Cook Time
Pre heat the oven at 200 degrees. Grease the cake mould with 1 tsp butter. Sprinkle a little flour on the tin base to avoid the cake from sticking on the sides.
Sift the flour and baking powder together and keep aside.
In a bowl break 3 eggs and keep beating till the eggs are frothy. Its crucial to whip the eggs nicely for the cake's sponginess. (I used an electric mixer.)
Add the powdered sugar and mix.
Add 1/2 cup softened butter and vanilla essence. Mix.
Add the sifted flour and baking powder. Mix.
Pour the batter into the greased tin and bake at 180 degrees until done.
You can check by inserting a toothpick into the cake, if its done or not. If the toothpick comes out dry, it means the cake is done.
When baked, get the cake out of the tin carefully. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes and cut the cake into symmetrical cubes.
Dip in the chocolate sauce. Roll in grated coconut. Serve.
For The Chocolate Sauce:
Melt the chocolate with the butter in the microwave (20-30 seconds on Medium) or a double boiler (bottom pan with water; chocolate and butter on the upper pan).
Once melted, add milk to make the sauce. Mix them together with a spoon.
Key Ingredients: Egg, all purpose flour, baking powder, butter, vanilla essence, icing sugar, sugar, milk, chocolate, coconut

David Bruce: Save money on school lunches
School starts Aug. 25 for most local students, and one of the questions on parents' minds each morning will be "Pack or buy?"
The cost of school lunches is increasing this year at some schools to around $2.50 a meal for families who don't qualify for assistance.
That equals $12.50 a week for one child, $25 for two.
Packing your children's lunches can be a cost-effective alternative, if you are smart about it.
Otherwise you could be paying more than the cost of a school lunch, or sending your child with a lunch that ends up in the trash.
Here are some tips to cut the costs on your child's school lunch:
Use leftovers. I was a sandwich child, but there's no reason why your child's lunch has to be encased in two pieces of bread.
Pizza has been a longtime leftover favorite, but there are many other options. Shred last night's chicken and put it into a wrap, or even put some leftover ribs in aluminum foil. Just don't forget to add a few extra napkins.
Make your own "Lunchable." These prepackaged lunches have been all the rage among the elementary school children for more than a decade.
But they can be expensive and are often filled with sodium. Make your own using items already in your kitchen.
Take some low-sodium crackers, pair them up with turkey or ham, and add some fruit, cheese chunks and a cookie. Presto, you have a homemade Lunchable.
Avoid individually sized foods. Yes, the single-serving packages of chips, cookies and nuts are convenient, but they are also costly.
Buy these foods in bulk and make your own snack-sized packages. It takes a little more time, but get your child to lend a hand.
To save even more money, ditch the baggies and put these foods in reusable containers.
Freeze those water bottles. Instead of buying ice packs, freeze your child's water bottle or juice box.
It will thaw by the time lunch rolls around and keep the rest of the lunch cold. Remember to reuse those water bottles at least once or twice.
Use different types of breads. If you make sandwiches, you don't have to limit yourself to slices of white or whole wheat.
Use an English muffin or bagel if you have some around the kitchen. Grill a panini and wrap it in foil. Try a pita pocket or a tortilla.

Although bortezomib cannot overcome 1q21 amplification as a single agent, it appears to be able to do so in combination therapy. The combination of bortezomib and Doxil is able to restore renal function. Dr. Ludwig noted that a highly active regimen with a quick response is important in patients with renal dysfunction, and that bortezomib, which has a half-life independent of renal function, may reduce kidney inflammation. Two of three patients on dialysis were able to be taken off as a result of treatment. The combination of thalidomide plus dexamethasone in elderly patients is associated with faster and better response than melphalan plus prednisone, but does not lead to better overall survival due to increased toxicity. The follow-up time of comparing thalidomide plus interferon with interferon alone for maintenance therapy in this trial is too short to see any difference between groups. In this trial, as in others, the TE rate was higher in patients receiving thalidomide plus dexamethasone than in those receiving melphalan plus prednisone.

As it develops its own accounting approach apart for the International Accounting Standards Board for financial instrument impairments, or mark downs, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has reached some new tentative decisions about disclosure requirements it wants to propose.
The FASB parted ways with the IASB in August when it raised concerns about the three-bucket model the boards were developing. Based on feedback from U.S. constituents, FASB said it needed to step back and revise the approach for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The board heard from U.S. stakeholders that the three-bucket credit impairment model would be difficult to understand and put into practice, not to mention difficult to audit.
FASB developed instead a model it calls the current expected credit loss model, still retaining many of the key concepts the boards had both developed and agreed upon earlier. However, FASB's model uses a single-measurement objective, the current estimate of expected credit losses, rather than a dual measurement approach and a transfer system where assets would move in and out of the three buckets originally described.
FASB recently determined that it plans to require disclosure of expected credit loss calculations to include both a discussion of the inputs and assumptions that an entity considers as it estimates its expected credit loss and how the information is developed and used in measuring the expected credit loss. Where inputs and assumptions rely on forecasts, those would need to be described as well.
The board determined that allowance narrative disclosures should include a discussion of the changes in credit loss expectations and the reason for those changes, as well as a description of any changes in estimation techniques that are used and the reasoning behind those changes. Companies would also be explain any significant amount of write-offs.
With respect to the roll forward of financial assets, FASB says companies should provide a good distinction between financial assets that are classified at amortized cost and those that are classified at fair value with changes in value flowing to other comprehensive income rather than net income. The board also would like to see disclosures around where companies use the practical expedient for assets measured at fair value with changes to other comprehensive income. The board also mapped out some specific disclosure ideas related to nonaccrual assets, purchased credit-impaired assets, and collateral disclosures.
FASB tenatively expects to issue a new exposure draft in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Gospel The Birth of John the Baptist Luke 1:57-66
Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58Her neighbours and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. 60But his mother said, 'No; he is to be called John.' 61They said to her, 'None of your relatives has this name.' 62Then they began motioning to his father to find out what name he wanted to give him. 63He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, 'His name is John.' And all of them were amazed. 64Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. 65Fear came over all their neighbours, and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill country of Judea. 66All who heard them pondered them and said, 'What then will this child become?' For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he appeared publicly to Israel.

In the 1993 film, "Demolition Man," Sylvester Stallone plays a no-nonsense cop who is cryogenically frozen in 1996 and is awakened in 2032 to deal with an extremely violent criminal from his own time, played perfectly by Wesley Snipes.
I've had never seen this movie until recently, because the promos for it always looked lame. Also, I've never quite recovered from Stallone's "Cobra" ("Crime is a disease. Meet the cure"). I never wanted to run screaming from a theater so badly.
That is, until I saw Barbra Streisand's "Yentyl." But that's a story for another time.
Demolition Man has a good story line and fairly creative writing. It also helps to have a young Sandra Bullock and Rob Schneider hamming it up in their scenes. The cast know that this is a fun movie and don't take themselves too seriously.
Except for Stallone. He is the perfect counterpoint to the tongue-in-cheek mayhem going on around him. Stallone's character, John Spartan, is a rough and tough cop who tends to destroy things in his pursuit of the bad guys — hence the title of the movie.
The world in which Spartan awakens is populated by gentle and politically correct people, all of whom are afraid to say anything that may offend. If one utters a profanity, an alarm sounds, and a fine is immediately levied against the profane speaker.
The cops have all gone soft, depending on handheld computers that coach them through apprehending a criminal. One officer, after having a crook refuse a direct order, was told to firmly repeat the order and conclude it by saying "or else."
Needless to say, a violent criminal would have a field day in such a world. Enter Wesley Snipes' Simon Phoenix, a pathological murderer who stops at nothing to gain what he wants. No one in this age can stop him. Except the Demolition Man.
Unfortunately, we have a real-life equivalent situation in Sacramento right now. Our state Capitol is infested with weak and incapable leaders who seem more interested in political correctness than leading and managing our state.
The strength to say "no" to powerful special-interest groups, public-employee unions and uncontrolled spending simply does not exist. There are a couple of notable exceptions such as Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, R-Santa Clarita, and state Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Moorpark, but they are lonely islands in a sea of wimpiness.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who appeared to be headed on the right track in balancing the state budget, has shown that he is no more than a puppet to the special interests that sent him to the Capitol in the first place.
Unable to cut benefits packages to public-employee unions to balance the budget, Brown has turned to the traditional-and-failed fall-back of all Democratic legislators: raise taxes. Brilliant.
The state of Texas is now coming to California to lure businesses away with tax incentives, packages and promises of a business-friendly climate.
How do the "girly-men" in the Capitol respond? Our legislature is processing legislation restricting the use of polystyrene foam containers for restaurant leftovers. Also, they are pushing a law banning cell phones in prison. Let me repeat that. They have to make a law banning cell phones in prison.
Excuse me, but can't the warden just take them away? And, if the guards are giving them the phones (where else would they come from?), take the phones from them, too. Problem solved.
And I know who the Wesley Snipes character is. David Kieffer is the executive director of the Service Employees International Union, and essentially controls many politicians through the political contributions made by the SEIU.
Regarding the tax extensions proposed by Brown, Kieffer said Californians "would vote the taxes down" and "they don't actually need to be involved in this decision."
All Kieffer needs is a nifty haircut and a blonde dye-job.
Where is our John Spartan? We thought we had the Terminator, but he turned out to be nothing more than a movie actor with latent polygamist tendencies. He turned out to be more of a kindergarten cop.
No, we need someone who can go to Sacramento, blow everything up, save the kids, balance the budget, bring back a positive business climate, lower taxes and control the nanny-state mentality.
We've got three years to come up with a candidate. It's hoped that there will be something left of our state to salvage by then. Anyone for Tom McClintock?
Steve Lunetta is a resident of Santa Clarita and wants his hair just like Wesley Snipes'.

TICKET agents have sparked fury by charging a £6 booking fee to Elton John fans who want to see the rock legend at Easter Road this summer.
A sell-out 22,000-strong crowd is expected for the one-off gig at the Hibs ground in June.
Ticket outlets today came under fire for forcing fans to pay a booking charge up to 13 per cent of the ticket price.
Those seeking the most expensive seats are having to pay a greater sum for their ticket to be processed and printed than concert-goers with cheaper tickets.
Online agents such as aloud.com and seetickets.com are charging a 6 booking fee on each ticket costing 60 and 75.
Fans buying the cheapest tickets, priced 35, are being forced to pay an extra 4.50 - a 13 per cent surcharge.
Civil servant Dougie Sinclair expected to pay a booking fee when he phoned Glasgow's SECC box office to secure nine tickets for his friends and family.
But he was stunned when he was told he would have to pay out 37 in booking fees.
The 51-year-old, from Cockenzie, East Lothian, said: "It was a 90-second phone call.
"I couldn't grasp how they can justify charging that much as a handling fee for something that took so little time.
"To rub salt in the wound, they then said it would cost me another 1.40 to pay for postage if the tickets were sent to my house.
"I think the girl on the phone must have realised how ridiculous that seemed and she said she'd waive the postage fee.
"I expected to have to pay a booking fee on the tickets, but I don't understand why it would cost them more to process a 60 ticket than a 40 one. Most people probably don't even realise, they just accept the charge they are given.
"It was only because I said I'd buy tickets for a friend who wanted the 60 ones that I realised the booking fees for her tickets were higher than mine.
"I expected the girl on the phone to say: 'Excuse me, I have to move to a more expensive computer to process these tickets'. How can they justify more expensive tickets being more expensive to process? It's not like they're printed on different paper or anything.
"The prices are really misleading - you don't expect extras to be that much.
"I think for that amount of money we should get to sit on the stage with Elton himself."
A spokeswoman for SECC said the fees were necessary to cover the cost of the box office service and credit card commission, which she said increased relative to the ticket price.
She added: "It is not uncommon for ticket agencies to charge booking fees of ten to 15 per cent and we believe ours to be comparatively low with an average booking fee of around ten per cent for a first-class sales and after-sales service."
No-one from aloud.com or seetickets.com could be contacted for comment.
The concert, on June 25, marks Elton John's first full-scale concert appearance in the Capital for almost 30 years.
The singer last performed in the city in July 2000, when he played hits with his piano at Edinburgh Castle.
But his last performance with a full backing band was in 1976 when he appeared at the Playhouse.

My whole life — and I mean this almost literally, in that I remember conventions from a time when I was in the single-digit-age phase of life — I have wanted to go to a political convention.
The closest I came was four years ago, when the Houston Press reported that I was sent to the conventions. I wasn't. I was here. Nice of them to check, however.
I want to see people with completely insane decorations on their heads and star-shaped cheap sunglasses. I want to see dudes dressed as Uncle Sam — a personage not in much favor these days. Try explaining to a 12-year-old who Uncle Sam is. It's a non-starter.
I want to see zealots and crazies and protesters and people who are just wild about their candidates. I've spent enough of my life — even a tiny slice was enough — around politicians, and I seriously don't care about seeing them. It's the others I'm interested in.
It's getting to look like nobody's ever going to send me to a convention. What happens to a dream deferred? It watches a lot of MSNBC, is what.
The people on MSNBC were unfortunate children. I probably would have gotten along with them. Bill Maher is on right now, explaining that the electorate has, actually, gotten "stupider and stupider" as years go by.
I know Reagan was the Great Communicator, but I thought his speeches sounded like cereal commercials. God knows what people would make, these days, Robert Kennedy quoting of Shakespeare, as I saw this morning.

Juvenile Justice System Structure & Process
Highlights from Chapter 4:
In 37 states and the District of Columbia, the oldest age for original juvenile court jurisdiction in delinquency matters is 17. In 10 states (Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin) it is 16. In the remaining three states (Connecticut, New York, and North Carolina) it is 15. (p. 103)
In 2004, statutes in 14 states open delinquency hearings to the general public. In 21 other states, delinquency hearings are open for some types of cases. In the remaining 16 states, hearings are generally closed or are not presumed open or closed. In 45 states, media can gain access to juvenile offenders' identities in some or all delinquency cases without requesting permission. (p. 108)
In 44 states, school notification laws require that schools be notified when students are involved with law enforcement or courts for committing delinquent acts. In some states notification is only required for serious or violent crimes. (p. 109)
All states allow certain juveniles to be tried in criminal court or otherwise face adult sanctions. (p. 110) The expansion of state transfer laws has slowed considerably in recent years. (p. 113)
Some juvenile offenders are handled by federal rather than state or local authorities. Federal prosecutors may retain certain serious cases involving a "substantial federal interest." Juveniles handled federally may also be "transferred" for criminal (adult) prosecution. (p. 117-118)
From FY 1994 through FY 2001, almost 3,000 youth were committed to the Federal Bureau of Prisons for crimes committed before the age of 18. Just over half (55%) were committed as delinquents rather than as adults. The vast majority of those delinquents were American Indians (82%). American Indians made up a smaller proportion of the youth committed as adults (31%). (p. 118)

JTG Daugherty Racing (formerly ST Motorsports and JTG Racing) is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team owned by former advertising executive Tad Geschickter and his wife Jodi, along with current ESPN analyst Brad Daugherty. The team formerly had alliances with Wood Brothers Racing, then Michael Waltrip Racing, and currently has a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.[1] The team currently fields the No. 47 Clorox/Bush's/Scott Products Chevrolet SS driven by A. J. Allmendinger in the Sprint Cup Series.
Sprint Cup Series[edit]
Car No. 47 History[edit]
JTG Daugherty attempted to make their Cup Series debut in the third race of 2007 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with Ken Schrader behind the wheel of the Ore-Ida Ford, a second car to the Wood Brothers' No. 21, but the team failed to qualify for the race. Jon Wood attempted to qualify the No. 47 in the season's 29th race at Kansas Speedway but also failed to qualify the Little Debbie/Nutty Bars car into the field.
With the new ownership at JTG Daugherty Racing in 2008, the team attempted to qualify for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard with Marcos Ambrose at the wheel and he qualified into the race in 24th position. Ambrose finished in the 22nd position. Ambrose finished 3rd in the No. 21 Ford Fusion of Wood Brothers Racing at the Centurion Boats at the Glen at Watkins Glen International. On October 1, JTG Daugherty signed a deal to enter into a technical alliance with Michael Waltrip Racing for the remainder of 2008 and the 2009 Sprint Cup season. During this technical alliance in 2008 and 2009, the No. 47 ran a Toyota Camry as the third car on the Michael Waltrip Racing team. For the rest of the 2008 season, the 47 switched to Toyota and leased the owner point's for MWR's No. 00 entry. Ambrose ran four races for the rest of the season and had a best finish of eighteenth. The 47 became a full-time entry in 2009, running with sponsorship mostly from Little Debbie and the Clorox Company. He had seven top-ten finishes, including a second at Watkins Glen, and finished eighteenth in points. The alliance continued for 2010, with Ambrose again running as the third car for MWR.
For 2011, however, Ambrose left JTG Daugherty Racing in the Sprint Cup Series to drive for Richard Petty Motorsports although he drove for JTG in a one race deal for Watkins Glen in the Nationwide Series. He was replaced by former series champion Bobby Labonte. Labonte proved a good replacement by scoring 4th in the Daytona 500 and pushing Trevor Bayne to the lead on the final lap. However, the 500 remained their sole high point, and they struggled throughout the season to a 29th-place points finish. As a result, crew chief Frankie Kerr was moved to the shop foreman position, and JTG hired former Richard Childress Racing crew chief Todd Berrier as their new crew chief and general manager. To improve the team's performance beyond MWR, JTG moved back into the Geischeckter's old race shop it shared with the Wood Brothers. However, the team had very few good runs in 2012. For 2013, Labonte and JTG would have a best finish of 15th at Daytona before he was replaced at Kentucky by A. J. Allmendinger. Allmendinger would score a top 10 at Watkins Glen. On August 29, 2013, Sporting News reported that Allmendinger will be the full-time driver for JTG Daugherty Racing in 2014. The team will also be switching to Chevrolet and form a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.
Allmendinger started 2014 slowly, but got hot with back to back top-10 finishes in May. He also raced his way into the Sprint All-Star Race. Allmendinger had the strongest car at Sonoma in June but was involved in an incident that left him a disappointing 37th. However he got redemption at Watkins Glen by winning the race, beating fellow road course ace Marcos Ambrose for the team's first Sprint Cup win. The win was also the first Chase birth for JTG. Ironically, Ambrose himself had nearly scored the team's first win in 2010.
Nationwide Series[edit]
Car No. 47 History[edit]
The second team in the JTG Daugherty stable made its debut in 1996 at the All Pro Bumper To Bumper 300. The car was No. 46, sponsored by Stanley Tools and driven to a 22nd-place finish by Larry Pearson. Pearson drove two more races for the team that year, each one getting regressively worse. ST would not run a second car again until 2004, when they fielded the No. 47 Ford Taurus driven by Robert Pressley. Pressley had two top ten finishes that year, and finished 15th in points. He was replaced by rookie Jon Wood in 2005. Wood posted six top-ten finishes and finished 15th in overall championship points. He was to continue to drive the 47 car in 2007, before medical problems forced him to exit the ride. Former American Speed Association champion Kelly Bires took his place for most of the year, garnering two top-ten finishes. Andy Lally took his place on road courses, finishing tenth at Watkins Glen International. Bires drove full-time in 2008.
In 2009, Michael McDowell started the season with sponsorship from Tom's Snacks where he had three top-ten finishes, but left the team midway through the season after Tom's Snacks left the team. The team became a start and park team, listing ConstructionJobs.com as the sponsor (the sponsorship only funded practice and qualifying). Kelly Bires returned for three races followed by Coleman Pressley at Iowa. Marcos Ambrose ran full races with STP sponsorship the two road course events at Watkins Glen and Montreal, and would go on to win the event at Watkins Glen. Pressley and Chase Miller finished out the season. The team was suspended at the end of the year, and its owners points were sold to Penske Racing. In 2010, the team returned with Ambrose driving two road course races; at Watkins Glen, where he won the race, and at Montreal where he did not finish the race, due to electrical problems.
Car No. 59 History[edit]
JTG Daugherty Racing (then known as ST Motorsports and owned by Tad Geschickter and crew chief Steve Plattenberger[2]) made its debut at the 1995 Goody's 300. Jeff Fuller drove the Sunoco-sponsored Chevrolet to an eleventh-place finish. Fuller ran the full season with ST, and had six top-ten finishes en route to a tenth-place finish in points. He was named Rookie of the Year for the Busch Series that year. Fuller returned again in 1996. While he dropped seven points in the standings due to missing two races, he had four top-ten finishes and won from the pole at the Food City 250. Fuller was 18th in points after the 1997 GM Goodwrench/Delco Batteries 200, when he was released from the ride and replaced by Robert Pressley. Pressley had two-top fives and finished 32nd in points despite missing half the season. Pressley could only run half of the season in the newly renumbered No. 59 due to Winston Cup commitments with Jasper Motorsports. He ran 18 races and had two pole positions, finishing 31st in points with sponsorship from Kingsford. Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Lepage, Ron Hornaday and Rich Bickle filled in when Pressley was unavailable. Adam Petty drove a second car for the team, the No. 22 Spree Chevy in three races during the season and his best finish was 27th (twice).
For 1999, ST hired Mike Dillon as its new driver. Dillon had a seventh-place finish at the Lysol 200 and finished 16th in points that year. Dillon left for Richard Childress Racing after the season was over and ST replaced him with Phil Parsons. Parsons qualified for all 32 races, had two top-tens and finished 12th in points. In 2001, he was replaced by Bickle again. However, Bickle struggled in the ride and was replaced by Mark Green and Jeff Purvis after the MBNA.com 200.
In 2002, ST hired Stacy Compton to drive the No. 59, and he drove until the end of the 2006 season. His best finish being 9th. The only major change from 2002 until 2007 was the team's switch to the Ford Motor Company in 2004. Australian driver Marcos Ambrose was hired to compete in the No. 59 during the 2007 season, finishing in the top-ten six times and ending the year sixth in points.
Ambrose won the team's first race in 2008 running an STP-sponsored No. 59 at Watkins Glen. For the 2009 Nationwide Series, the No. 59 team ceased operations, running only the No. 47 entry for numerous drivers, and the owner points going to the No. 12 Penske Dodge driven by Justin Allgaier.
Craftsman Truck Series[edit]
The No. 20 truck debuted in 2006 at the GM Flex Fuel 250 as the No. 20 truck. Jon Wood drove the truck for two races, due to Marcos Ambrose not being cleared to run the first two races due to limited experience. Bobby East ran the event at Atlanta. Ambrose finally took over the ride at Martinsville, winning one pole and posting two third-place finishes during the season. In 2007, the truck switched numbers to No. 09. Joey Clanton brought Zaxby's as a sponsor and would share the ride with ex-Busch Series veteran Stacy Compton. Clanton, despite running a partial schedule, was third in the Rookie of the Year standings. Clanton would take both the No. 09 and Zaxby's with him to Roush Fenway Racing for 2008, allowing JTG Daugherty to switch back to the No. 20 and hire Scott Lagasse, Jr. as their new driver. After eight races, JTG Daugherty closed its Truck team due to a lack of funding.
JTG Daugherty Racing has maintained long-term relationships with sponsors Clorox and Kingsford and their associated companies since their time in the Busch series, and the two often appear on the decklid of the car even in races they are not the primary sponsor. The team has also maintained good relations with Bush's Baked Beans and more recent partners Kroger, Kimberly-Clark (Kleenex, Scott Products, Viva) and Charter Communications through several driver and manufacturer changes, and have been able to attract new sponsors every season.

Among students of metabolism it is an axiom that food materials or therapeutic substances are not effectively in the body until they have passed from the gastro-intestinal tract into the blood or lymph. Many factors ordinarily exert an influence on materials in the intestinal tract, and absorption and subsequent utilization are to a great extent dependent on them. The action of the digestive enzymes is, in the main, looked on as a sine qua non to normal nutrition; yet hydrolysis by the proteases frustrates the oral administration of insulin. In the presence of acid the absorption of calcium is favored, whereas an alkaline reaction in the intestine tends to precipitate calcium not only as the phosphate but also as insoluble soaps of the fatty acids of the food, thus doubly robbing the body of dietary essentials. In the opinion of certain students of the subject, the hypothesis that beriberi is

The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenmentby J. B. Shank
Nothing is considered more natural than the connection between Isaac Newton's science and the modernity that came into being during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Terms like "Newtonianism" are routinely taken as synonyms for "Enlightenment" and "modern" thought, yet the particular conjunction of these terms has a history full of accidents and contingencies. Modern physics, for example, was not the determined result of the rational unfolding of Newton's scientific work in the eighteenth century, nor was the Enlightenment the natural and inevitable consequence of Newton's eighteenth-century reception. Each of these outcomes, in fact, was a contingent event produced by the particular historical developments of the early eighteenth century. A comprehensive study of public culture,The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenmentdigsbelow the surface of the commonplace narratives that link Newton with Enlightenment thought to examine the actual historical changes that brought them together in eighteenth-century time and space. Drawing on the full range of early modern scientific sources, from studied scientific treatises and academic papers to book reviews, commentaries, and private correspondence, J. B. Shank challenges the widely accepted claim that Isaac Newton's solitary genius is the reason for his iconic status as the father of modern physics and the philosophemovement.

A Kenyan man was recently caught in Nairobi with his manhood stuck inside another man's wife.
Apparently, the two had been having an affair for a while. The woman's husband who got to know about the ongoing affair used black magic (charms) on her in order to expose their evil act.
YouTube link.
The woman's husband had suspected she was cheating on him, so he visited a witchdoctor who applied black magic on the wife, causing the cheating man to get stuck inside her during the act. Police could not rescue the man from the black magic, and the husband refused to be persuaded to remove the spell.
A large crowd swelled outside to witness the drama, as police ran out of options on how to help the two. Eventually the cheating man finally agreed to pay the husband, who is seen in the video wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, Sh20,000 (£150, $240) in compensation. Then a local pastor was called in to pray and the two were finally separated.

Before purchase I requested a sample which was received promptly. I was impressed by the detail in both the fabric and construction of the valance. The price was discounted which made this an even better value.
Valances look the same when I received them as they did on line love the fabric
I love the valances I purchased. They definetly exceeded by expectations. Would recommend them to anyone.

My Scary Mommy MomentLauren Hartmann
No matter how hard we as parents try to do things perfectly, it is inevitable that we are all going to experience some type of failure or another at some point. In the 18+ years we will spend caring for our children, there are bound to be some moments that are less than ideal, challenging or even downright scary.
I had always heard about parents having moments like this, but had been lucky enough to not experience one myself. It felt like I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop … until the other day that is, when I had my first scary moment as a mom.
It happened while Fern and I were playing in the living room. We were on the couch — I was sitting and she was laying in front of me — playing a game. It was almost nap time, so I thought I would grab some books and read to her before she went to sleep. We have a little bookshelf filled with baby books literally two feet from the couch, so I got up to grab a few. My back was turned for no more than a few seconds when I heard a THUNK and then a piercing wail. I flew into a panic, dropped the books, and found Fern lying on the floor. Turning my back on her for just a moment had given her enough time to roll off the couch, narrowly missing our coffee table (the one with cast iron corners) on her descent.
I picked her up and quickly nursed her for comfort as I shook like a leaf with tears in my eyes. My heart was racing at a million miles per minute. I felt like such an awful mom. In less than a minute, Fern stopped crying and all was well in her world again, though I was more than a little bit shaken up. I definitely learned my lesson about leaving babies unattended on elevated surfaces that day. A scary mommy moment indeed.
Have any of you had scary mommy moments?
How did you react?

administrator of that remote system to find out why it is doing this.
It could possibly be a problem with the user name and password used.
Some strange systems return success during authentication, and check

At a guess, you're not invoking pppd directly, but instead are using
some sort of script that starts up PPTP and that starts up pppd.

Now is the time for wheat producers to be in the field fertilizing and controlling winter annual weeds.
Producers need to apply top-dressed nitrogen prior to wheat jointing, which is usually around March 15 in the High Plains and South Plains, said Brent Bean, AgriLife Extension agronomist.
"Jointing may be earlier this year because of the warm February we've had," Bean said.
Bean said he typically recommends 1.5 pounds of nitrogen per bushel of anticipated yield, so 60-bushel wheat would require 90 pounds of nitrogen.
The winter weed crop may be bad this year, so applying herbicide while putting on fertilizer might be a good idea.

Starred in 1963 comedy 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'
Dorothy Provine, who starred alongside Milton Berle and Ethel Merman in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World," died April 25 of emphysema near Bremerton, Wash. She was 75.
Provine more than held her own as the only character disinterested in the hidden treasure in the star-studded 1963 comedy directed by Stanley Kramer. Or as Variety's review put it, "The comic competition is so keen that it is impossible to single out any one participant as outstanding."
Born in Deadwood., S.D., the leggy blonde studied theater at the U. of Washington. According to legend, three days after landing in Hollywood, Provine got the part of the bank robber in 1958's "The Bonnie Parker Story."
After a series of forgettable roles, she migrated to TV as flapper Pinky Pinkam in the Alphabet's "The Roaring '20s" from 1960-62. She also appeared on such shows as "77 Sunset Strip," "Hawaiian Eye," "Sugarfoot," "Wagon Train" and "Mike Hammer."
Other laffers she appeared in include "Good Neighbor Sam" opposite Jack Lemmon, "The Great Race," "That Darn Cat!" and "Never a Dull Moment" in 1968.
The following year she married helmer Robert Day and left showbiz.
"She was so beautiful," Day told the Associated Press.
Besides her husband of 43 years, survivors include a son, and two sisters.
(The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

Samsung's new Wi-Fi enabled compact camera
The soon-to-be-released SH100 Wi-Fi-enabled compact from Samsung comes with a better lens than its predecessor, and can wirelessly pair with a smartphone to allow frame previewing and shot composition, as well as remote shutter release, away from the camera itself. It'll also be capable of streaming content using DNLA technology to a high definition television and automatically backing up photos and videos to a computer, whether it's switched on or not.
Of course, Samsung's new compact camera is not the first Wi-Fi-enabled digital camera we've seen, nor is it the only one – Kodak, Ricoh and others have also gone down similar routes. But that doesn't take anything away from some very useful new features.
The SH100 is the successor to the ST80 and retains many of the features - such as the 14.2 megapixel sensor, the 3-inch touchscreen display, the mobile hotspot account with Boingo (which is now said to have over 200,000 Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the globe) and the facility to record high definition video. The company's AllShare DNLA technology is also carried over, which allows wireless streaming to a HDTV.
Set to become the company's flagship fully-connected compact camera, the new model gets a lens upgrade, now sporting a f4.7-23.5mm (26-130mm equivalent) Samsung lens with 5x optical zoom. Users are promised ease-of-use via the new Smart Access user interface and some useful new features such as the PC Auto Back-up function. Samsung says that pressing just a couple of buttons will wirelessly back up images to a suitably connected PC, the system also being compatible with the Wake-on-LAN system to allow upload even if the PC is turned off.
A useful addition is the ability to wirelessly link to a compatible smartphone (such as the Galaxy S) to compose a frame. While this might not be particularly important for scenic holiday snapping, if you want to include yourself in the shot then you can just pop the camera onto a nearby wall and do all of the frame tweaking remotely on the phone. It also caters for geo-tagging information from the phone's GPS to be included in images.
So long as you're within range of a wireless home router or a Wi-Fi hotspot then the built-in 802.11b/g/n connectivity should enable you to painlessly upload photos and videos to social networking sites without loading them onto a computer first. Of course 3G connectivity would be a useful addition so that users wouldn't have to rely on mobile hotspots or home networks but you can't have everything, can you?
The new SH100 will be available in March 2011 for a penny short of US$200.

DETROIT, MI- The first retail production 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is set to hit the auction block this weekend, and MLive.com wants to know, how much would you be willing to pay?
The vehicle -- with the Vehicle Identification Number 0001 -- will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale collector car auction this weekend. Proceeds will benefit the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, renowned for its automotive design program.
The sale is scheduled for Saturday evening. Bids can be submitted in person at the auction or online at www.barrett-jackson.com. Four other unique Chevy vehicles (see slideshow below) will also be auctioned off this weekend with the Stingray.
GM has not released pricing of the vehicle, but the No. 1 production vehicle should fetch more than the current top-of-the-line 2013 Corvette ZR1, which starts at $112,600.
The Stingray, or "Sting Ray" from 1963-67, has only been used on two other generations of production Corvettes in the vehicle's 60-year history.
Stingray was last used four generations ago on the Detroit-based automaker's generation 3 Corvette from 1968-82. The name was first used on the 1959 racing car and again for the second-generation Corvette from 1963-67.
The vehicle features an all-new small-block,LT1 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers an estimated 450-horsepower and achieve 0-60 in less than four seconds.
The 2014 Stingray has been the Belle of the Ball at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and media kits (yes, media kits) from the private unveiling Sunday night are selling on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
So, if you had the funds, how much would you be willing to pay for the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray #0001?

During her first visit to Hamilton, Ianna Recco '16 experienced a sense of excitement and comfort that she hadn't felt on any other campus. "I visited a class, went on a tour, had an Opus cookie … and realized that one day of this was not nearly enough." But this wasn't the only factor that led Ianna, a native of Hoosick, N.Y., to choose Hamilton. "I immediately noticed, and continue to notice, that everyone you pass smiles at you." Her first year on College Hill has led her to realize that she is part of a community "where people support one another and want their peers to succeed."
An aspiring double major in art history and classical studies, Ianna hopes to someday do curatorial work in a museum and possibly pursue graduate studies in art history. The writing-intensive courses she has taken have allowed her to polish her communication skills and have positioned her for success on the Hill and beyond. She strived to make the most of her first year by challenging herself academically. When she is not studying Latin or Greek, Ianna serves as a peer advocate, a role that is affiliated with the Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Board, and a member of the Hamilton College Democrats. She also volunteers at a museum close to her hometown and enjoys contributing to the culture of the area where she grew up.
The ultimate deciding factor in Ianna's choice of college was financial aid. When she received a generous package from Hamilton, her top-choice school, the dream became a reality. "Every day I attend enriching classes, inspiring professors teach me, I use beautiful facilities, and I meet incredibly interesting people." She believes that the quality education she is receiving is preparing her for successful life after graduation, making her "forever grateful to Hamilton's donors who have made this a reality."
