Simple program but I am unsure how to fix it
I wonder if anyone can see where I'm going wrong? What I am trying to do is get a student name, get their two scores then it works out a grade (Pass,merit,fail) based on the addition of the two scores. Then it must loop 5 times to get 5 student names.
On the first loop everything works fine, but when it gets to the second it will display "Fail" no matter what combination of numbers I put in. Also it will not display the error message if I go over 50 (on the second attempt - works fine on the first)
I'm pretty new to this, so any helpful guidance would be greatly apprieciated :)
#include <stdio.h>
Re: Simple program but I am unsure how to fix it
There are quite a few errors in the program. I am mentioning the one I just saw when I looked at it.
1. scanf for string should be %s instead of %c.
2. score function you are using the variable i which is never initialized.
3. You are taking the input in score1 the scores but comparing with score1[i] where i is never initilaized.
4. Same is the case in score1
5. similar things are observed in grade function as wel.
I think the above points will help you rectify the problem you are facing.

Editor's note: This opinion piece comes from mayors of Henderson, Winchester, Hazard, Pikeville, Hopkinsville, Paducah, Paintsville, Crestview Hills and London who are members of the Kentucky League of Cities.
On April 12, lawmakers will assemble for the last day of the 60-day session. While the General Assembly concluded the bulk of its work before leaving Frankfort last Friday, it left one of the most critical pieces of legislation for our state and communities uncompleted.
Carroll County Fiscal Court agreed to look at developing a new holiday schedule for its employees to reduce confusion for the public.
County Judge-Executive Harold "Shorty" Tomlinson said the county offices and state offices in the courthouse follow different holiday schedules, meaning some may be closed when others are open.
"The public doesn't understand that," he said.
About 60 people formed six teams and participated in The Support Second Base Susan G. Komen softball tournament Saturday at the county park. The event raised about $950, part of the fundraising effort by Brittany Belcher and her family to participate in the 3-Day for the Cure walk this November in San Diego.
Kentucky Press News Service
ORLANDO, Fla. – At the National Prescription Drug Abuse Summit in Orlando Tuesday, Gov. Steve Beshear called for states and the federal government to develop aggressive shared tactics to thwart the devastating scourge of prescription drug abuse.
He also encouraged Kentucky legislators to keep the state on the leading edge of effective anti-drug strategies by passing a broad prescription drug bill on the final day of the legislative session this week.
After a Friday night loss on the road to district foe Gallatin County, the Panthers baseball team split a doubleheader Saturday at Walton-Verona, putting them at 6-6 on the season.
Carroll struggled to put the bat on the ball against the Wildcats, managing just one hit in the game – a bunt single by Chase Osborne.
Head coach Josh Mefford said his team had poor pitch selection against Gallatin pitcher Brady Lawrence, who struck out three and walked three in a complete game.
First reading for city employee raises
Council approved the first reading to amend the fiscal year 2012-13 salary scale to reflect a three percent pay raise across the board for all city employees. The change would take effect July 1. The second reading will be April 23 at the next meeting.
Carports, lowering grass height discussed
City council may be changing its ordinances to include carports and to change the acceptable grass height.
With only one item on the agenda, the six-member Ghent planning and zoning commission elected new officers and then adjourned.
Without elected officers, the commission first voted to allow member Karen Browning to act as moderator for the election. Fellow member Ron Walker presented the following slate of officers: new-member Rusty Whisman as chair, James Walker as vice-chair, Caroline Reisner as secretary and Karen Browning as administrator. Browning's election requires approval from Ghent City Commission, which will meet on April 23 at 5 p.m. at city hall.
Carrollton Police Department arrested an 18-year-old for having consensual sex with a 12-year-old.
Chief Mike Willhoite said Timothy Earl Davis, 18, of 379 Pate Ln., was charged with rape second degree after the mother of the victim discovered the incident and reported it to the police.
Davis admitted to the incident, Willhoite said.
Second degree rape is a Class C felony, punishable by 5-10 years in prison.

We read with interest the article by Rabinak et al1 describing withdrawal symptoms experienced by patients with Parkinson disease after discontinuation of treatment with a dopamine agonist. We have observed this phenomenon in patients with Parkinson disease who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery when dopamine agonists were discontinued before surgery, in accordance with the levodopa equivalent dose.2 Because of the discomfort experienced by our patients owing to the withdrawal syndrome, we have added to our preoperative protocol an apomorphine dose titration adjustment. Since we added this medication to our protocol, 5 patients have had DBS surgery. Three of them experienced withdrawal symptoms that were treated with apomorphine injections; they experienced prompt relief of symptoms. We suggest that, for patients who are undergoing DBS surgery, apomorphine may be helpful.

William H. Jenkins passed away peacefully on Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012, six days before his 73rd birthday, surrounded by his family.
Born Nov. 23, 1939, in Clarksburg, he was the son of the late William and Eva Blanche Jenkins. He was the youngest of nine children; seven brothers preceded him in death. Also gone before him was his son, Jeffrey Jenkins.
He was employed by I.T.S. Inc., but was a big rig owner/operator most of his adult life. He loved bluegrass music and could play many instruments by ear. He had a large collection of humorous T-shirts that helped him explain his position on many views.
Left behind to cherish those memories are his wife of 52 years, Patty Sue (Buck) Jenkins; daughters, Johnna Hurley and her husband, Mike, of Pickerington, Ohio, and Robin Butts and her husband, Tony, of Hedgesville; one son, Jamie Jenkins, of Martinsburg; one sister, Ruby Hobbs of California; eight grandchildren, Aaron, Amber, Ashley Renee, Ashley Nicole, Cody, Kelsey and Brooke, and another arriving next March, to be named Dexter William. He adored his five great-grandsons, and was loved by so many through marriage or acquaintance who called him their "Pepaw."
Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012, at Rosedale Funeral Home, Martinsburg.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012, at Rosedale Funeral Home.
Burial will follow in Rosedale Cemetery.
The family wishes to thank Hospice for their care and guidance.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family to help defray medical costs. The family also recommends you see your doctor for routine check-ups, as most cancers are treatable or curable with early detection.
Condolences may be sent to www.rosedalefuneral.com.

Demo for Fan-Made My Little Pony Investigations has been released
Randomly surfing the net (instead of getting work done), I came across My Little Pony Investigations. Ironically it became something I could write about for GamingAngels! My Little Pony Investigations is a fan created game featuring the characters from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The gameplay is much like a Phoenix Wright game where gamers play as Twilight Sparkle who is attempting to solve a crime that took place in Equestria. In the game, Twilight can press for more information or present evidence to help make an accusation. It's pretty amazing that this is a fan made project. The quality is pretty high for it being a labor of love. Much higher than I expected. The full version of the game will be released for any OS that supports JAVA and will be released for free. That's right, they just want you to enjoy and have fun. The graphicsRead more →By GamingAngel in PC No comments yet
Avengers big weekend
After having a huge international opening, Marvel's The Avengers had a big opening weekend domestically as well. Walt Disney Studios announced that The Avengers posted an estimated $200.3 million just for May 4-6. For the first 12 days of release, The Avengers have made an estimated $641.8 million. Which of course breaks many opening weekend records. I can't recommend that you see the Avengers for yourself enough. The cast plays incredibly well together and with Joss Whedon's writing and directing skills, the entire movie is a treat. Just make sure not to drink a coke during the movie. I think the Avengers clocks at 2 hours and 40 minutes. Which becomes an insanely long time when you have to pee. I saw the movie once with others from work. But on Sunday I saw the Avengers again in full Real 3D glory and in D-Box seats. What are D-Box seats?Read more →By GamingAngel in Movies 2 Comments »

FAU to Present Anton Chekhov's 'The Cherry Orchard'
BOCA RATON, Fla. (September 17, 2013) – The Department of Theatre and Dance within Florida Atlantic University's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters presents "The Cherry Orchard," a classic tragicomedy by Anton Chekhov. The play runs from Friday, Oct. 4 through Sunday, Oct. 13 in the Studio One Theatre, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.
"The Cherry Orchard," directed by Des Galant, is about an aristocratic Russian woman and her family as they return to the family's estate right before it is about to be auctioned to pay the mortgage. The family's desire to hang on to life as they know it clashes with the socio-economic work forces in Russia during the turn of the 20th century and the rise of the middle class.
Shows are on Fridays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays at 1 and 7 p.m.; and Sundays at 1 p.m. General admission tickets are $20; students, faculty, staff, alumni and children under age 12 may purchase tickets for $12; and group prices are available. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-800-564-9539 or at www.fauevents.com.

BOGOTA, Colombia - Pastor Guillermo Parra challenges the notion that Colombia is only about coffee, drug lords, and violent kidnappings.
"If you have a small vision, your God is very small. If you have a great vision, your eyes will be the eyes of God," he says.
For decades, Colombia's farm people have fled from leftist rebel groups who took their lands by force.
Many have lost everything: homes, family, parents, children. Some end up in a place like Ciudad Bolivar - the southside of Bogota.
From the Dust of the Earth
Parra was born here, in one of the poorest neighborhoods. The bare earth served as the floor to his dwelling - which he shared with his parents and five other sibliings.
"I was born in one of those poor houses, we were very poor, my family had great needs," he said.
But early in his ministry, the young pastor was challenged to believe God for greater things, to believe that God could create something incredible out of his nothing.
The reality that so many of Colombia's children were suffering weighed on his soul. God was directing him to feed them - body, mind, and spirit.
"I thought I was going crazy. Every night I started to have dreams about the kids that were hungry." he said. "I told the Lord, 'This is impossible, I do not have the money to do this.'"
Hundreds of thousands of poverty-stricken children live in south Bogota. Card board, tin shacks dot the hillsides, a stark visual of the destitution here. Most houses here have no running water, unless you count the rain water running through the dirt floors.
Faith for the Impossible
As a pastor, Parra also had very little, even for his own family. But as God challenged his faith, he in turn challenged his church - which barely mustered $200 a month total at the time.
"It was difficult because we got 400 kids who came hungry and came to study," he said. "It looked like Africa, too much need, too much hunger."
At first, the members of his congregation thought he was crazy when he told them what he wanted to do. But as he believed God, their hearts began to change. And the resources began to come in.
"We started to talk about faith, plans, and our vision, that God would bring supernatural things to us," he said.
One day, a lady who Parra had met volunteered to help build a center for these children. She had been looking for three years for a place to build a children's home.
Growing in Faith
Today, Parra oversees ten projects, or centers, that care for more than a thousand children once stuck in a cycle and mindset of poverty.
"We want those children to be men and women of a future, that they overcome, to understand that God has called them to be blessed," he said.
More than 70 volunteers now help care for these children. All volunteers, including pastors and leaders from churches he helped start in this same area, also live by faith for their provision.
"The leaders and pastors who are helping are people who have been born in this community," he said. "They thought they were nobody, but God molded them and believed in them. Now they are men and women with a great vision."
Parra encourages each of them to dream big. He now plans to build an orphanage and a hospital on a nearby piece of land his church is praying to purchase.
"We dream with power from the Holy spirit that there will be revival, that we will see entire towns worshipping God," he said.
Feeding Bogota; Changing the World
Parra no longer just pastors a small church. He pastors the entire community. While their vision is to "feed the 5,000," their hopes now extend far beyond Colombia's borders.
"Colombia, with the drugs, have been accused of being a bad place. But we, as children of God are believing that He will bring something supernatural," he said. "That there will be a powerful revival in this country and great blessings to this area."
Parra's church continues to pray for Colombia's complete freedom from drugs, addictions, and guerrilla groups. And through their faith, that is happening, one child at a time.
"When God provides for a child, and provides for a family, that family stands up thankfully and becomes a blessing to others," he said. "That's the power of the Gospel to change people and lives."

NPR. A short blurb. If there had been a big turnout the story would have been much longer.
Given the source, the turnout was probably actually less than that.:neener:
May 9, 2004, 05:32 PM
One of rh SAFER folks walked over to the MMM site and said it was about 6-700 people there around 1 PM. He said kids out numbered the 'mommies' 2/1. FWIW
May 9, 2004, 05:50 PM
They need to change their name to A FMS, A Few Mom's Strolling... hehe

So only two thousand showed up.
Whens the last time two thousand or even just one thousand gun owners rallied in DC to support RKBA?

The "Million" in Million Mom March is in name only. Somehow they're only 998,000 off their mark.
May 9, 2004, 06:09 PM
Sisco's got it, though. Last time there were tens of thousands (or more) of them, and a few thousand of us. This time a couple thousand of them and a couple hundred of us. Even granting them having their way paid, being in a liberal area, etc..they still outnumber us most days.
May 9, 2004, 06:26 PM
(Reference Art's post, below.)
May 9, 2004, 06:47 PM
Who says there's no bias in the media. Do a google search on million moms and then second amendment sisters or second amendment for all and compare.
We are not getting the message out, there coming for them guys.

With all due respect (well, none actually) I find the "modified" MMM button extremely distasteful and counterproductive.

No offense, RadikalRednek, but one of the deals here is to consider the fence-sitters. Not much can be done about full-fledged Antis, but there's no point to us supporting the Antis' propaganda-notion that we're a bunch of uncaring Neanderthals.
Just part of "Promote RKBA". You don't "promote" by turning people off to your message...

I just checked in to THR to find out if what I heard on the radio was correct. I heard them say that there were only 168 people in one area and most of them were organizers.
Apparently, most soccer moms have something else to worry about.:D
May 9, 2004, 08:40 PM
I don't get to public demonstrations much.
For one thing, I live in the SoCal area, so a quick jaunt to Washington DC is not on my schedule.
For another thing, I have a full time job, and I need to stick around and take care of business.
I think this is the primary difference between conservative and liberal "activists". Conservatives have jobs and responsibilities.

I think this is the primary difference between conservative and liberal "activists". Conservatives have jobs and responsibilities.
That's about what I was going to say. Right now I can't afford to take off of work, I am trying to be responsible and pay off my debts.
That's not to say that I don't do other things like calling legislators, sending letters, emails(weekly), faxes,etc. I also make donations to gun rights organizations whenever I have some leftover cash at the end of the month.
To those who went,
Thank you.

I'm amazed that ABC radio news pointed out that the turnout for the anti-moms was "modest" and they reported on The Second Amendment Sister's counter demonstration. They didn't even denigrate the Sister's gathering. One of the Sisters made it clear that they had a right to defend themselves ...ON ABC RADIO.. Wow.. I couldn't believe it.
Don't know how many at the counter rally, but I'm sure it will be posted:

I'd gladly send my stay-at-home wife out to an RKBA rally. :D
May 9, 2004, 10:29 PM
Sisco's got it, though. Last time there were tens of thousands (or more) of them, and a few thousand of us. This time a couple thousand of them and a couple hundred of us. Even granting them having their way paid, being in a liberal area, etc..they still outnumber us most days.
I think the problem is that most of the PRO-RKBA types have JOBS and even those that can get away for a demonstration are good enough parents to NOT drag their kids to the cesspool that is Washington DC.
May 9, 2004, 10:45 PM
I'm not going back to DC for demostrations or whatever.
I stay out of the Basement of outhouses too.

I know one of the key players in MMM in the deep south. She is the never-worked-for-40 years wife of a millionaire. She is involved in lots of other really deep intellectually stimulating activities like the women's auxillary at their country club. She seems to enjoy media attention, seems to show up at Mardi Gras events and sports events and other places where she can get her name in the papers. She is a bona fide parasite.

there is a certain twisted logic here. gun control good, 2000 equals 1,000,000. to them it adds up.:neener: must be the new math.craig

tonights new math question
In 2000, the MMM claimed to have 750,000 supporters in DC
They actually had 120,000 people at the rally
In 2004, they claimed to have 2000 supporters in DC
How many people were actually there?
On the TV tonight, they said the 2000 number was important because the attendies were activists
May 10, 2004, 09:23 AM
I'm unclear; does the 2000 include the kids? If so, how many adults were there. Also, did they include the pro-gun demonstrators?
May 10, 2004, 09:38 AM
Two interesting points:
1. The anti "talking points" are very consistent. You can't hear an anti talking about the AWB expiring without hearing about "Uzi's and AK-47's." It's always "Uzi's and AK-47's." Not AR-15's (unless it's part of a specific reference to the Bushie XM-15 the DC snipers used), or FAL's, or anything else. It's like they're all actually reading from the same piece of paper. "Always mention the Uzi and AK-47, as this invokes the most fear..."
2. This guy Nick Wilcox is mentioned in both the ABC and AP reports. They're shoving this guy to the front of the line pretty often, and when you hear his story, his daughter was killed with a 9mm handgun with a 30 round mag. And, I'm betting she wasn't killed with rounds 29 and 30. Not only are they reaching for "applicable stories" for the AWB, but if I had my way, all bad guys would be required to use 30 rnd POS mags in their handguns, as most jam after the first few rounds anyway.
BTW, they didn't reach a million in the first march, either, but then you can call yourself anything you want in this country, I guess.
May 10, 2004, 10:56 AM
shep - I was at the SAS event. We were nowhere near the Mommies' rally for John Kerry, except for small groups who wandered over to eyeball 'em. So, their 2000 number didn't include the pro-gunners.
They had 2000 total, including kids in strollers. Activists? I'd bet on a few dozen at most.
Given that the AWB sunsets eighteen weeks from today, and the fact that they probably spent millions on this (I'm trying to run down a hard number), a turnout of 2000 is abysimal for them.
May 10, 2004, 11:07 AM
She told the crowd that she doesn't want to march again on Mother's Day in calling for the ban to be made permanent. Good for her. Next year she can stay home and take care of her son.

But again, how many turned out at the SAS outing, and how many news groupd actually covered it?:(

Just part of "Promote RKBA". You don't "promote" by turning people off to your message...

None taken. Didn't mean to offend anyone either. My sincere apologies.

Bubbles, you get a big "ATTA GIRL" for making the effort to go to DC and make a stand!
However, I wouldn't put it past the media to use a little "editorial license" and go with a simple count, no matter which side you're on.
May 10, 2004, 04:56 PM
armoredman; But again, how many turned out at the SAS outing, and how many news groupd actually covered it
I was there also. The Washington Post, in the three paragraphs they deveted to the SAS rally, in their 2K MMM story estimated ~65.
I'm not good at estimating crowds, but we certainly had over 100, perhaps closer to 200. I have no idea who most of the people were but:
There were at lleast 12 SAS state coordinators and other 'officials'
At least a dozen speakers including Ms. teen New Mexico
I knew another 16 people from MD groups
I met another 8 THR members (including families)
That's 49 including myself and there were a lot more than 16 people that I didn't know.
Local ABC and CBS mentioned both on the 6:00 and 11:00 news yesterday. CBS devoted about 90% of the segment to the 2K moms. ABC was more balanced - 60/40 maybe. I didn't time them.
I mentioned the washington post article today. Sadly, The Washington Times didn't even mention the SAS rally in their 2K mom article.
Not a great turnout for either side. This could have been a great opportunity for us to outnumber them.
May 10, 2004, 06:38 PM
I was at the SAS gathering, brought two women and a child with me! (Can't accuse me of not bein' there.)
I would guess we saw less than 200 folks there the entire time. There were plenty of news crews wandering around doing interviews, but I have yet to see anything about it.
Later in the day I wandered over to the West Capitol Lawn, where the MMM thing was going on. If there were 2k people there, I'd be shocked. Maybe 1500, but the event was BIG. They had cordoned off a large area, and had all sorts of people speaking. When I wandered up, it was Doug E. Fresh talking about the love and hiphop and stoppin' the violence.
The MMM seemed much more racially diverse, which I found darkly humorous. Given the fact that the first gun control legislation in this country was started to keep guns out of the hands of blacks and immigrants, it seems odd that they'd line up for more today. (Somebody done sold them up the river.)
Sorry more of you guys weren't out there. I know it was DC and DC stinks, but a bigger turnout would've been nice. Ted Neugent's wife spoke, as did many of the SAS coordinators. I did see the president of the VCDL, as well as at least one other competitive shooter. (I forget the guy's name, he's light years better than I am. I think he's a pro.)
I think the big reason for the disparity is that it is easy to get wrapped up emotionally in something and do no research. Most anti-gunners don't know much about their chosen issue.
Most pro-gunners however, know a good bit of info, and some are practically quasi-lawyers. (Got to be to stay legal in this quagmire of legislation.) So given the fact that the price of admission to "legal gun owner" is by necessity higher, you won't see as many of us. :(

Attendance Down for Anti-Gun Million Mom March
By Robert B. Bluey
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
May 10, 2004
Washington (CNSNews.com) - It was business as usual in the nation's capital on Sunday despite the presence of the anti-gun Million Mom March, which drew only 2,000 people, a fraction of the number expected to attend.
The rally was billed as the kickoff to the "Halt the Assault" tour, a nationwide campaign to renew the so-called "assault weapons" ban, which expires in September.
The Million Mom March, which merged with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in 2001, had expected as many as 5,000 people at its Capitol Hill gathering. About 2,000 attended, according to the Associated Press.
As the event got under way Sunday, the crowd was more likely in the hundreds rather than the thousands. It was nowhere near the 500,000-750,000 people who reportedly attended the first anti-gun rally on Mother's Day in 2000.
Several blocks away, several hundred supporters of the Second Amendment Sisters gathered for their own rally. Speakers stressed the need to guard their Second Amendment rights, especially during an election year.
The race between President Bush and presumptive Democrat nominee John Kerry was a topic at both events. Volunteers from the Kerry campaign canvassed the Million Mom March looking for supporters. Many attendees donned "Women for Kerry" stickers.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson was one of several political figures to attend the event. His address touched on anti-war themes and the need to dump Bush, in addition to restricting gun use.
"In four years since we first met here, we've lost 120,000 lives, more than 500,000 injured, at the cost of $100 billion. It's time to change the policy, and down the street change the leadership. It's time for a change," he said to a roaring ovation.
At the Second Amendment Sisters rally, those figures and others from the anti-gun crowd were questioned. The event's featured speaker, Shemane Nugent, wife of rock musician Ted Nugent, said many of the anti-gun activists simply don't understand the issues.
"A lot of the women at the Million Mom March don't really want all guns to be banned," Nugent told CNSNews.com. "They just are misguided."
"I probably would have been a member of the Million Mom March," she added, "because it is an emotional issue and nobody wants more violence. But the only way you can see the truth is to experience it. We need to reach out to these people ... we've got to go talk to them."
The gun-rights rally featured Nugent, as well as Miss New Mexico Junior Teen Sarah Rouse, Congress of Racial Equality national spokesman Niger Innis, the Rev. Joyce Smith and Coalition for a Fair Judiciary President Kay Daly among other speakers.
Meanwhile, the Million Mom March touted politicians, celebrities and crime victims. After the rally, the contingent marched through the streets of Washington to the White House.
Missing from the rally was Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who with her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, played a role in the 2000 event. Calls to Clinton's office weren't returned.
While organizers of the Million Mom March said the crowd numbers alone shouldn't be used to judge the importance of their campaign, critics thought otherwise.
John Michael Snyder, public affairs director of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said voters sent politicians a strong message after Congress enacted the 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms. He said that has played a role in the debate.
"When the Democratic party in congressional elections later that year lost control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first times in 60 years, President Clinton, the most anti-gun chief executive in the history of the United States, admitted publicly that enactment of the ban was one of the major reasons for the astounding political defeat."
May 11, 2004, 01:36 PM
There was a pic here in the Taiwanese newspaper :D
And to avoid the embarrassing pic of the turnout, they just showed a black man with a poster of what guns he thought should be banned.

Woodinville church makes an impact
by Ellen Curtis
A small band of members at Woodinville Community United Methodist Church is heartwarming proof that big numbers and lots of dollars aren't needed to meet a community's needs--but a caring attitude and a commitment of time and effort are.
Four creative programs at the church use as few as six volunteers each and are making a big difference among prisoners at Monroe State Reformatory, the displaced on the streets of Capitol Hill, neighbor-to-neighbor in Bothell, Woodinville, and surrounding communities, and among Chinese immigrant women.
Ten men and women visit inmates regularly at Monroe's special offenders unit, the honor farm, and maximum security to offer encouragement and build friendships. The prison outreach began 16 years ago when Woodinville Methodist learned that there were three or four inmate suicides a year. Members make a special effort during the holidays. Several evenings in December, Santa Claus and his friends come bearing gifts of cookies, candy, and books to share with the inmates. Ron Wayman, former wrestling coach at Bothell High School, heads up the ministry to the prison.
Six church volunteers make up the Fishermen's Club and hit the streets of Capitol Hill each Friday night, pushing a shopping cart loaded with sandwiches and practical gifts stocked by Union Gospel Mission that the homeless can readily use. Walking up and down the streets, volunteers strike up conversations and offer sandwiches to those in need. They ask for any prayer requests and, after returning to the church, pray for the homeless by their first names to protect their anonymity.
Another program designed to meet needs neighbor-to-neighbor is LOVE, I.N.C. (Love In The Name of Christ). Eleven churches work in concert, with the office located at Woodinville Methodist.
The University Presbyterian English School, held at University Presbyterian Church in the University District, reaches out to Chinese immigrant women who want to learn English. Woodinville Methodist volunteer teachers give lessons in English each Friday night, using stories from the Bible as their aids. The Chinese students particularly related to their lessons from the book of Ruth, for like the young widow Ruth and her widowed mother-in-law Naomi, they had suffered many losses and deaths in their country and had been uprooted.

Leading IT solutions consultancy, ramsac has conducted a full audit and is providing on-going IT planning support for medical specialist Idis, ensuring its systems meet current and future needs. The appointment follows a detailed assessment of Idis' systems and includes an on-going advisory role in the evolution of its IT provision.
Idis Group Finance Director Richard Holmes commented, "We needed to be sure that our vital IT infrastructure is secure and suitable for our needs now and in the future. Having already discussed the importance of IT with ramsac, we felt the company was the ideal team to conduct an independent review of our IT infrastructure and it immediately got to work on a thorough investigation for us."
Idis was founded in the UK in 1987, pioneering the development of access routes for patients with needs for vital medicines that were unavailable, for whatever reason, in the country where they live. As a business, Idis seeks perfection in everything it does; helping pharmaceutical and biotech companies, pharmacists and physicians connect with patients around the world with unmet medical needs. To help achieve these goals, Idis needs to easily share information, understanding its own needs and those of its clients, to deliver a quality service. The integrity of Idis' brand lies in its reputation to successfully and promptly handle access requests for medicines – something which inevitably relies upon the use of excellent IT communications.
Whilst Idis already had a successful, well-respected, in-house IT support team, (In 2009 the corporate headquarters in Weybridge was recognised as Best Place to Work in IT), the decision to request a Strategic-level Audit was seen as a critical one. ramsac's Managing Director, Robert May, who was part of the team that undertook the review, commented, "Idis was looking for guidance at a top level as to how its IT systems and processes meet its needs and where longer-term planning could offer possible cost saving and increased performance from its investments. Whilst ramsac is an IT specialist, we are equally concerned that our clients have the right business-led solutions for their long-term as well as immediate needs – so a review is essential in fully assessing the best ways to plan for future requirements."
Idis has revised its long-term, strategic IT plan with direct input from ramsac, which constantly ensures this is relevant to its evolving needs. ramsac's firm understanding of business needs, as well as its vast IT knowledge was key to achieving this, Richard Homes concludes, "We would have no hesitation in recommending ramsac's services. The team are very switched on and knowledgeable of how strategic IT can work at the heart of a business, offering innovative ideas on how our systems can perform better and offering advice on a business level as well. We have an excellent working relationship with people who don't just rely upon jargon but understand the needs we have as a business."
About ramsac
Founded in 1991, ramsac offers a 'menu' of outsourced stress-free IT services that allows clients to match their individual needs. For some clients it may simply be support at the end of the phone, for others a part-time network manager, for many businesses its help in developing a longer term overall IT strategy. Whatever the requirement clients are guaranteed impartial, jargon-free advice.
This enables those businesses and organisations for which a dedicated in-house IT department may not be practical, to outsource all or part of their IT needs. In return they benefit from properly planned cutting edge IT solutions and support without any of the headaches often associated with managing technology. The end result is that any business can now get top level joined-up grown up IT advice for a fraction of the cost.
ramsac is committed to providing excellence in customer service and is proud to maintain a 97% client retention rate. The company won the 2011 Toast of Surrey Award for the 'Companies with a turnover of up to £5m' category and sponsored and judged the same award in 2013. ramsac is also an ISO 9001 Quality Approved firm, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, a Citrix Silver Partner and an accredited Investor in People.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A federal agency has told the owner of an offshore oil platform where a deadly explosion and fire happened last week to take immediate steps to improve safety at its offshore operations.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said Wednesday that Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations has been cited numerous times for incidents in which it failed to comply with regulations.
Those include Friday's fire and an October 2011 incident where use of an acid-based chemical resulted in the hospitalization of six workers.
In an email statement, a Black Elk spokeswoman said the company "appreciates the perspective" of the federal agency and it would work with local and federal agencies to understand what happened on the platform.

Right now, good news is in short supply for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) . Investors haven't been enthused with the announcement of iOS 7, and shares are down almost 24% since the beginning of the year.
But the latest sting to Apple comes from Europe, where the company's iPhone is falling behind Android's ongoing dominance.
Tapping out in Europe
According to IDC, Western European smartphone sales have been slowed by the sluggish economic growth in countries such as Great Britain, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. But even though Western Europe is experiencing the lowest smartphone growth rate since 2004, the Android OS made some big gains -- while Apple fell back.
Android accounted for 70% of smartphone sales in Western Europe in the first quarter of this year, up about 10% from a year ago. Meanwhile, Apple took about 17.8% of smartphone sales over the same time period.
The iPhone's problem in Europe may have more to do with the economy than with features or specs. In April, the CEO of France Telecom SA, Stephane Richard, told Bloomberg that Europeans weren't buying iPhones because the phones are too expensive. "Selling a phone for $600 is getting more and more difficult," he said.
This leads us to the bigger question of whether a cheaper iPhone could be a game-changer in Europe. The rumored device has been viewed as a key component for Apple's success in developing markets, but it appears the company may need it for established markets as well.
The smartphone operating systems that are making the most gains are the ones being sold on more inexpensive devices. According to Kantar Worldpanel data, Windows Phone increased its market share by more than 100% in the U.K. in part because of low-cost Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) phones such as the 520, 620 and 720. At the same time, Nokia also lost some market share in Italy over the same period because lower-cost Android phones from Sony and LG came to the market.
In developing markets, Nokia will battle cheap Androids with its new Asha line, but it's evident that Android's dominance is hitting both low- and high-end markets. The little green droid takes up 90% of India's smartphone market share, and Europe seems to be moving in the same direction.
Battling on every side
Aside from poor economic conditions and cheap Android phones, Apple is also dealing with archrival Samsung in Europe. According to Kantar, the South Korean company sold 50% of smartphones in Europe during the first quarter of this year. With smartphone penetration nearing critical mass in Europe, it's high time Apple changed its strategy in the region.
This Fool thinks a cheaper iPhone is the best way to gain back some of the lost market share in Europe and start fighting the uphill battle against Android and Samsung. Apple has enjoyed selling millions of iPhones worldwide, but if European smartphone consumers continue moving in the direction they're going now, you can expect Apple to be pushed out even more.
Not finished yet
Though the iPhone may be losing European market share, Apple isn't likely to take the walloping lying down. The new iOS 7 may held turn the tide for the iPhone once it comes out this fall, and an updated iPhone may help push Android back as well.
But what could really change the game for Apple's stock right now is if it releases a completely new product all together. The company has a history of cranking out revolutionary products ... and then creatively destroying them with something better. In the latest Motley Fool report, "Apple Will Destroy Its Greatest Product," you'll learn whether Apple could really disrupt its own iPhones and iPads. Click here now to find out.

text: I have an application running on a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 device that establishes an internet connection via a GSM modem connected via SerialPort using port COM5. However if my application crashes and/or the device is turned off without properly disconnecting the GSM connection, I am unable to connect again when I turn the device back on, I get the error "Port unavailable, it may be in use by another program." The only way to solve this is too physically unplug the modem and cut the power, then plug everything back in and it works. However when we deploy these devices they will be installed in vehicles, and the modem cables etc will not be accessible to the driver to do this. So I need to be able to "free" the port and tell the device that it really isn't in use when this happens so that the GSM connection can be re-established. Is there anyway to do this? Are there any commands I can write to the serial port that will do this, or anything?

Nevada Union graduate and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo football standout Cole Stanford is heading to Green Bay, Wisc. today to start his NFL journey and try to catch on with Packers.
"I was a little disappointed on draft day when nothing came around," Stanford said in a phone interview. "But I'm headed to Green Bay and I'm going to make the best of it and see what happens."
After not getting drafted last weekend, Stanford's agent shopped his client around and got interest from the San Diego Chargers and the Green Bay Packers; Stanford decided to head north.
"I was told I need to be versatile," Stanford said. "I'm bigger and faster than a lot of the guys, but I may not have the defensive technique they have."
Stanford who played slot receiver for the Mustangs said he's expected to contend for a spot as a wide receiver or possibly safety.
At Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the 6-foot, 2-inch, 225 pound Stanford redshirted his freshman year, played linebacker the following year, was a standout on special teams his sophomore season, moved to offense his junior season as a slotback (241 yards rushing, 486 yards receiving, four touchdowns), and wrapped up his senior year with 354 yards receiving and four touchdowns to lead all Mustang receivers.
Stanford said he flies out to Green Bay today and will return Sunday to finish up his senior year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he is set to earn a degree in business with an emphasis in marketing.
He expects to hear back on whether he will get an invite to training camp in the next couple of weeks, he said.
"Hopefully when I graduate in three weeks I can head back to Green Bay and start my NFL career."
Stanford added that the time he spent at NU was critical to his ability to be successful on and off the field in college and singled out coaches Dave Humphers, John Keith and Brad Dal Bon for helping him get to this point.
Stanford was originally a walk-on player for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, but by his senior year had earned a scholarship and was named a team captain.
While at NU, Stanford played defensive back and wide receiver, amassing 40 receptions, 694 yards and five touchdowns in two years of varsity football.

|This character exists primarily within the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog continuity.
Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
Katella is an intergalactic huntress who goes from planet to planet kidnapping rare animals to sell to zoos for a lot of money.
She came to Mobius for that reason and Dr. Robotnik decided to cash in on it. When she saw Robotnik, she fell in love right away. Robotnik asked her to catch Sonic for him. After succeeding, she forced Robotnik to marry her, but the ceremony was interrupted by the very irrate Mama Robotnik. After a fight between the two evil women, Katella decided that she no longer wanted to marry Robotnik because she can't stand his mother, much to Robotnik's relief. She then left Mobius with the intent to find "a planet that really appreciates me."[1]
- Katella is by far the most realistic-drawn character in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series, unlike other characters that are much more cartoonish.

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (AP) - A gunman stood up during a church service Sunday and repeatedly shot a man with whom he had been feuding, killing him in front of his two children. At least seven people were injured trying to flee the building, some by leaping out windows, authorities said.
The priest at St. Paul's Albanian Church was preparing to distribute the sacrament when the attacker stood up, yelled, "Yes, I am here" and shot the victim in the back of the head and several more times after that, said witness Luigi Gjokaj, 42. He then fired into the air and yelled, "I done what I was supposed to do."
Some of the approximately 1,000 churchgoers fled after the shots, most running for the doors while a few leapt through windows, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. The suspect was wrestled to the ground by nearby worshippers, one of whom was injured as he sought to subdue him.
The shooter was in custody Sunday evening, but had not yet been charged, police said. His identity was not released.
"I first thought it was a terrorist attack," said Gjokaj, 42. "It's a really tragic event for us in the Albanian community. I never thought in my life something would happen like this."
Both authorities and witnesses said the shooting was the result of a six-year vendetta. Gjokaj, who said he knew both the suspect and the victim, said one had once been best man at the other's wedding, but that they since have been feuding.
Neither man was a member of the church, and it was unclear whether the shooting resulted from a chance encounter or whether it was premeditated.
Police did not identify the victim Sunday pending notification of his family. Bouchard said he was accompanied at the service by his two children, a boy and a girl, their ages about 10 to 15, respectively.
Bouchard said at least eight shell casings were recovered by the crime scene unit and that the shooter had a spare magazine in his pocket. He also said the victim was struck by a couple of bullets through the back of the pew. Two handguns also were recovered.
At least seven churchgoers were treated for minor injuries on the scene and at least four were being transported to area hospitals, Bouchard said. He said most of the injuries - primarily cuts and bruises - appeared to have been sustained when people tried to flee.
"It's sad that someone would do this anywhere," Bouchard said. "But to have it happen in a church makes it worse."

If you live in an unattended building - which is the norm for most in Hoboken - this time of year often means packages from deliverymen have to be left in the vestibule. Thieves know that too, and unfortunately some of those packages will disappear before their rightful owners arrive home.
Yesterday around 12:30 p.m., Detective Sgt. Sam Williams saw 39-year-old Walter Pizarro walking in and out of building vestibules on Madison Street. Williams, who was off duty at the time, called plainclothes detectives to check it out. The detectives said they saw Pizarro go into a vestibule and put a package in a shopping bag; they then identified themselves and stopped him.
Inside the bag, cops found a Perfect Pushup wrapped in bubblewrap, and an opened, empty box nearby.
Cops arrested him and charged him with theft.

The P-3 airplane allows scientists to fly right into a storm, to learn more about its intensity than they could by just relying on satellites. The scientists use onboard instruments to measure the storm's wind strength and turbulence as well as conditions on the ocean's surface. Some of the instrumentation includes nose, belly, and tail radar (look at precipitation), microwave (ocean surface conditions), and expendable probes (dropsondes for measuring the atmosphere and AXBTs for measuring the ocean's top surface layer).
Dropsondes are released from the airplane to gather real-time data from right inside the storm. The dropsondes fall through the storm on a parachute, sending back data about pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind speed and direction.

This conference aims to take stock of the numerous factors which can impact on the different forms of citizen participation, will explore how political, sociological and psychological factors inter-relate, and will draw out implications for policies which have as their goal the enhancement of levels of political and civic participation.
The conference also aims to examine the factors and processes which impact on levels of participation among marginalised groups that are at risk of political disengagement due to age, gender, ethnicity or migration. For this reason, papers focusing on either young people, women, ethnic minorities or migrants are especially encouraged.
In addition to individual papers and posters, we also encourage the submission of proposals for convened symposia.

A Hot Night in the Old Town
This was the scene, on a recent hot Thursday night, of a performance by an unprecedented quartetthe brainchild of Scott Robinson, a multi-instrumentalist whose talent and imagination know no bounds. I am talking about three bass saxophones plus percussion. Scott himself, of course, is on one of the huge horns, joined by J.D. Parran and Vinny Golia, and master percussionist Warren Smith.
Quite a sight, quite a sound. Though dwarfed by the contrabass sax Scott has in his vast instrumentarium, the three tubular monsters were not exactly lookalikes. The leader's was the shiniest, Golia's the most venerable looking. When we chatted afterwards, Vinny told me the horn was a rental, since it would have cost a bundle to bring his own on the flight from California. Warren, whom I hadn't seen in too long, presided over an array of instruments, drum kit among them. He did the opening honors, setting the stage evocatively for the first of two compositions by Scott.
There were scored passages but plenty room for improvisation, and each of the three proved himself an accomplished handler of a horn with a surprising range aside from overblowing, of which there was just enoughand producing sounds of great warmth. (Remember Adrian Rollini and, on occasion, Ernie Caceres?). The two pieces were consistently interesting, not least thanks to Smith's underpinnings. The music was recorded live and will be released on Scott's own label, as will be the evening's second set, not attended by your correspondent, which featured the reedmen on alto clarinets. If you're a Joe Lovano fan, you'll have heard the dark and reedy sound of this rare horn.
From The Stone we went across town to 183 West 10th Street and the comparatively elegant dungeon Smalls, to catch our man Vince Gardner, last heard soon after his return from an extended tour abroad with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. We had caught him at Birdland with David Ostwald's Louis Armstrong Centennial Band. But here was Vince at the helm of his own group, with his younger brother Derrick on trumpet, Sherman Irby on alto, Aaron Goldberg, piano, Carlos Henriquez, bass, and Ali Jackson, drums. A really tight front line and a fine rhythm section scored on an up-tempo romp, "Up From Down," from Vincent's Jesse B. Semple Suite, composed last year for Jazz at Lincoln Center.
A contrasting mood was established by the trombonist on a ballad feature, "For Heaven's Sake." J. J. Johnson did that one, and us old timers recall that it was put on the map by singer Fran Warren, with Claude Thornhill's band. Vincent is one of the best young trombones around, convincingly handling any musical situation. With the Ostwald band he also does some engaging singing, a-la Trummy Young. Vince was about to announce a prominent visitor, who waved him offbut a spy had told me it was Wynton Marsalis. How nice to see him hanging out here. A good hot jazz summer night in Manhattan.
Another such night, a few weeks later, saw us at a new Friday night venue for jazz. At the Palio Bar in the upscale restaurant Piano Due, l51 West 51st Street, there is no piano, but Sandro Chia's extravagant mural of a centuries-old horse race, said to have cost millions, is lyrical in its own way. And Chef Michael Cetrullo serenades guests with his Italian delicacies.
We caught those estimable tenor saxophone partners, Harry Allen and Joe Cohn, ably supported by Joel Forbes, a bassist who eschews solos. Harry and Joe have developed an almost sixth sense for interplay; both are masters of changes and of their instruments, and they swing at any tempo, including some downright daring ones. They recently did a South Pacific CD for Arbors, so "People Will Say We're in Love" was no surprise, though the tempo was. From the Ellington-Strayhorn book came "I'm Checkin' Out, Goombye"a happy tune handled with appropriate touches of humor. Good acoustics and a friendly audience.
We'll be back, but we had another new midtown spot to check out, a boisterous bistro with Thursday as music night. Rue 57, at 60 West 57th, is a Parisian brasserie with a sushi bar booked by the same agency, and thus it also spots Harry Allen and Joe Cohn, along with a pair of other good tenormen, Grant Stewart and Jerry Weldon, and a singer named Sarah Hayes, still new to us.

Sheriff's investigators said a Volusia County man was passed out when he was supposed to be watching a 3-year-old boy, and the child was found outside near the street.
Joshua Funke, 27, is charged with child neglect.
A neighbor saw the child alone and went into the house near Orange City to try to wake Funke, deputies said.
Responding deputies couldn't roust him at first either. According to deputies, Funke told them he drank two bottles of vodka and took one or more pills for anxiety.
The child might have been unsupervised for two hours, deputies said.

2009 seems destined to go down as the year of the military sandbox shooter simulation. Well, that and the year of the fighting game. And the year of the triple-A delay. Ah screw it. Let's just say that by the end of 2009 we'll have seen two milisims, as they're called, released. Bohemia Interactive's Arma 2 is already out, and jolly good it is too. Now it's Codemasters' turn with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Here, in an interview with senior game designer Tim Browne and art director Mike Smith, we learn why it's the thinking man's shooter and what the team really think of Bohemia's game.
VideoGamer.com: The game seems unashamedly hardcore at a time when most first-person shooters aren't.
Tim Browne: I know my demonstration was, unfortunately, I did die few too many times!
Mike Smith: You were crap!
TB: Yeah!
VideoGamer.com: I don't know if you were crap. The game looks pretty hard.
TB: One of the things about the game, and it's something that we've been focusing on over the last two months, is balancing and the AI. Everything else, other than a bit of polish on the graphics, is there, and for the last two months we've been working on it and we're getting very close now. That build you just saw was about a week old, so things are even better now.
Now, it's very difficult to talk and show off things at the same time as playing. Like I said I was trying to show more of the mission in a short space of time. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is definitely your thinking man's shooter. It's got lots of action in, it's got loads of explosions, loads of weapons and loads of vehicles, but it's more about the tactical side than just being John Rambo.
Unfortunately as you saw a couple of times I didn't really wait to check certain places were clear of enemies and ran into a hail of bullets. But we're very proud of keeping the whole one bullet can kill you ethos. Unfortunately I didn't get to show you the damage system. The damage system allows for you to take wounds where you're just bleeding, or just light wounds as if the bullet has grazed you, so you're very slightly wounded and it only affects you slightly.
MS: Tim got shot in the head from quite close range because he wasn't paying attention to what was going on during his presentation. But the way generally people play the game is they first run in expecting it to be like other shooters and stuff, and then they get shot in the head quite quickly. You kind of go, right, I get this. It takes a little while sometimes, like a couple of play-throughs where you die a few times. It kind of twigs. People think about it a little more. They use binoculars to see where the enemy are. As Tim said it's the thinking man's game. It's got much more depth than a lot of other first-person shooters, especially around at the moment.
We think that people are crying out for that. There's been so many games where, come down this way we'll show you a big scripted sequence, come round this corner. This really opens up. You've got this massive island. You can go pretty much anywhere you want. It's going to click. People are going to think, my objective's there – I could go completely all the way around and get a different take on it. I don't have to follow this prescribed route.
But, for people who are so into their tunnel shooters we hold their hands quite a bit. We've got an RV system – you might have seen those little yellow flags? They're basically a visual aid to take you through a route through the mission. So people who are like, oh I'm a bit lost, there's all this world, I'm not sure where to go, playing on normal difficulty, which is our easy mode, we hold your hand and say, go here, go here and go here. We hope we've got enough accessibility in there and we've spent a lot of time recently on this to make sure that we introduce people to it and they get it and then give them enough time to get comfortable with the game.
TB: One of the things is we do allow the player to turn off the RV system at any time. It's not on on hardcore. It is on on normal and experienced, but you can turn it off. Like I said, not everyone is au fait with military tactics, so we're giving players an idea of where to go. Because this game is a sandbox tactical shooter, you can attack an objective from 360 degrees. We let the player choose how to attack. We give them tools to do it, like an anti-tank javelin missile, but they can choose to use it early on in the mission or later on. You don't know what's going to turn up.
The other thing is, our missions aren't linear. It's almost like a puzzle game at times. There are multiple different tactics you can use. Some will work brilliantly, some won't work brilliantly, and some will just fail. We don't tell the player what they are because, really, we don't know exactly what they are. The AI decides where to go.
MS: I think that's a very important aspect actually. The AI plays out differently depending on what you do each time. We don't have scripted moments. We don't trigger an event when the player gets to a certain area or anything like that. It's the AI deciding what to do all the time. There's a huge amount of replayability. You could take a different route. You could act in a different way and the AI might just fall back because you scare them. There's so much complexity in there that I think when people go back to playing a standard tunnel FPS, they're going to feel hemmed in. They're like, what? I want to go around that hedge! It really opens your eyes. Once you've been playing this for a while and you play something else, it's like, wow!
