The Peoria
Rivermen were shutout, for the first time this season, in a 2-0 loss to the
Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday night at Carver Arena in front of 8,901 fans. Jeremy Smith made 33 saves on his way to his
fourth shutout of the season while Jake Allen made 19 saves in a losing effort.
Peoria had
multiple chances to open the scoring in the first period but T.J. Hensick was
stopped on a breakaway at 14:30. The Rivermen outshot the Admirals 9-5 in the first
Latta broke through with the eventual game-winner at 12:50 of the second with the
Admirals on a power play. Following a
faceoff win, Kyle Wilson shot the puck into a pile of players in front of Allen
where it was eventually pulled out and stuffed in by Latta for his 13th
of the season.
Champagne gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead at 11:57 in the third period on a wrist
shot from the top of the left circle.
Rivermen return to action on Sunday to face the Hamilton Bulldogs at 5 p.m. All

One of the dilemmas of many companies that deal in intellectual properties (as opposed to solid goods) is that, thanks to the Internet, a large segment of the public believes those goods should be instantly available - and free.
In our business, of course, there are people who think all our stories should be available for free on our website. The only problem is that our reporters have families to feed and, despite our urging, refuse to work for nothing.
Magazines, other papers and even college research centers see their work show up on websites called aggregators without compensation.
"We'll let you pay to do the research and the writing, then we'll steal it," seems to be their motto. Some companies are now trying to sue these sites, charging copyright infringement. But, thanks, to the vastness of the Internet, it can be hard to locate the sites' countries and determine if they are even affected by a copyright law.
Other entities have similar problems - and on larger scales. Many members of the public feel there is an absolute right to know (for free) everything from the secret formula for Coke to the unedited details of United States intelligence gathering. Some would argue, of course, that the latter shouldn't be for sale at any price.
The point is that while the Internet is steeped with potential, it is also fraught with peril.
While we may lament the swiping of our news stories, a much bigger problem is exposed when unprincipled sites like Wikileaks endanger agents, sources and entire intelligence-gathering operations by just dumping raw data into the public stream. Lives, careers and wars can be lost.
From the private enterprise side, the "everything for free" mindset will destroy the companies who are not paid for their intellectual properties.
From the governmental viewpoint, the "we have a right to know everything" mindset can threaten the security of a country.
The Internet is a twin-edged sword. There is great potential - for good or harm.

Helm busts his ass every second of every shift of every night.
They might not always score, they might not always be the best player, they might not always win - but they will always give their all. They might be playing injured, lacking confidence, not getting the bounces - but they will still try.
Throw Dan Cleary in there as well. Dude plays on busted knees but seemingly doesn't want to cause a fuss so keeps playing through the pain every night and doesn't stop.

Fireplace screen blocks radiant heat.
Why is this? My screen is made from approx. .020" wire with about 1/8" squares of open area. Seems to me there would be some heat blocked by these wires and absorbed into the screen but that does not seem to be the case. The fireplace screen never gets very warm and it blocks quite a bit of the radiant heat from entering the room. I'm assuming the screen reflects it back into the fireplace. Reminds me of a buddy's C band wire mesh sat. dish. The mesh was the right size to reflect the signal. What gives? I'd like to find out that a slight change in mesh size would reduce the amount of heat reflected back into the fire. Sure don't want to use the fireplace without it. I live in a log home.
Standard fireplaces aren't very efficient. They might warm the room but draw heat from the rest of the house. Rember, all the air going up the chimney must enter the house from somewhere. Even if you have vents in the fireplace itself, they often pull air and heat from other rooms. I would put a wood burning stove or insert in the fireplace. They might not be pretty but they slow the burning process down and radiate MUCH more heat into the room.
Heat flows in 3 ways.
Radiation - This is heat energy traveling much like light energy. The grill will block this just like it would block light from a light bulb. Some of the heat is reflected back, most is absorbed by the mesh. However once the grill has absorbed enough heat it will also start to radiate a little as well.
Conduction - This is heat flow through a material such metal or air, but without the material itself moving. For example if I apply heat to one end of a metal bar, it will 'flow' to the other end of the bar, but the molecules of the bar are not actually moving from one end to the other.
Convection - This is heat flow in a material due to movement of the material itself. Such as hot air rising in a cold room.
For your fireplace convection and conduction are not what heats the room. In fact as knifemaker pointed out, the area outside the fireplace is probably losing heat if you consider convection and conduction alone. This is because the fireplace is creating airflow up the chimney by sucking air out of the room. Also because of this airflow (convection) conduction through the air simply isn't fast enough to flow into the room. Conduction in the solid material around the fireplace does provide a little heat transfer though.
So basically the radiant heat is the only thing helping the room get warm, if you can figure out the area of the fireplace opening and then figure out the area of the screen you can get a pretty good idea of how much heat transfer you are losing.
A 1/8" square has a surface area of 0.015625"
If the .02" wire is centered on the edge of the 1/8" square it will reduce the opening by .01" on each side leaving a .105" square opening with an area of 0.011025" so you are losing 0.0046" over the whole 1/8" square.
That is a loss of 29.4%, pretty significant.
Anyone want to double check that?
My flue has four positions closed (), partially closed, mostly open ( / ) and full open ( | ) Once I get the fire going, I set the flue to either the partially closed or mostly open position (unless it is really windy, then full open). This works to provide both convection and radiant heat from the fireplace. We have a ceiling fan in the fireplace room that helps to distribute the heat and make the room more comfortable it also helps get the heat to other parts of the house.
Still remember those big roaring coal fires though from when I was a kid, toasted front, ............ frozen back.
much such radiation reaches it in the first place. It maybe interesting if you
experiment with the shape of the fire...
You wood (pun) be waaaaaay better off with a fireplace insert that kind of converts it into a wood stove.
A fireplace will actually make most of a home colder by forcibly drawing cold air in through every crack to feed the fires draw. This is the reason for those high back chairs with wing sides, so people could sit in front of the fire to catch radiant heat without the draft at their back freezing their butt off.
Most modern wood stoves and inserts allow air flow to the fire to be finely controlled at a much lower level and many actually draw outside air to feed the fire through ducting or the under home crawl space (I own one of these).
We have been using wood only heat for years and get by with about 3-6 chords per winter. With a fireplace it would be more like 12-15 chords!

You need that heat to carry out the gases that you don't want condensing on the inside of the chimney and building up into ....either a need to call the chimney sweep monthly or a big chimney fire down the road
With a good air-tight insert, like a Lopi http://www.lopistoves.com/, You'd be able to heat your entire house with a whole lot less wood.
held the fire and sucked air from the front of the fireplace (at a level
below the level of the fire) which was then heated and returned to the room
shooting out the tubes diagonally upwards under the mantle. It was ugly but
it worked...it interfered with our ability to grill steaks in the living room

Eliza Furnace in PA......
I do have an adjustable flue that will prevent most of the air used for combustion from being drawn from the room. As well as a fresh air vent at the bottom of the fireplace insert that doubles as a clean out door. I agree that a woodstove would do much better but in our house form does not always follow function here. I'm married. The stones from floor to ceiling are quite nice and do hold alot of heat. The insert has a built in heatilator arangement that takes cold air from the lower sides, pushes it through about 6 tubes in the top of the insert and blows out hot and I mean hot air out openings in the stones. I have measured air temps over 400F coming out those holes in the stones! But, that screen does block alot more heat than I think it should. I'm thinking of placing something dark a few feet away and blocking the front 1/2 way with the screen. Take measurements, let cool and repeat with the screen moved to the other side. Oh, well. It sure was nice to come home to a warm wife, a hot meal and a energy wasting fireplace.
As compared to my propane furnace and clothes drier the fireplace doesn't do bad. With the damper set and the cold air coming in through the bottom from outside it will quickly run us out of the house if we keep a fire in it. When the OAT is around freezing 3-4 hours in the AM is all it is used. We do like the colder bedroom though. I will build the fire before bed and light 'er off in the morning when I get up in the AM. I have looked in to the outside wood furnaces but figure the ROA would take me 10 or more years. I have plenty of wood here and with the Emerald Ash Borer headed this way I'll have more than I need. A also have free wood from a pallet shop if I don't feel Paul Bunyonish. Last year I figured we used about $400-500 in propane and about 3 cords of wood. BTW, I've tried using the reason of scrap balsa for kindling to get a new airplane kit! She just smiles and buys the kit for me.

UN Secretary-General Calls for Environmental Protection
3 April 2013: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon addressed sustainable development, climate change and protection of the marine environment in remarks in Monaco, on 3 April 2013, on the occasion of the principality's 20th anniversary of UN membership.
Speaking at the Museum of Oceanography, Ban said he is launching a global call to accelerate action to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the remaining 1,000 days before the 2015 deadline. He also noted the ongoing efforts to develop a post-2015 development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), saying poverty, hunger and disease cannot be ended without addressing the broader challenges of sustainable development. Ban highlighted the environmental dimension, in particular, and said investments in green growth will yield exponential gains for a sustainable future.
Ban also underscored the risk of "runaway climate change," and called for a "universal, legally-binding climate agreement by 2015." He noted the high-level meeting on climate change he will convene in 2014.
Ban recalled that in order to intensify efforts to protect and sustainably manage our oceans and marine resources, he had launched the Oceans Compact in 2012.
Finally, he issued a call to every citizen to "think about what you can do to care for the global environment and promote sustainable development." [Statement of UN Secretary-General] [UN Press Release]

One important information for you: there are two adorable cats (Elsa & Ludwig) living in the apartment. They are very sociable, so if you are not a cat lover, my flat is probably not a good idea.
Here are a few key data from my side: the apartment has about 135 square meters and is located very centrically but not in the actual tourism epicenter. It is orientated to a large courtyard and very quiet. Especially nice is the large sunny terrace. I rent only one of the rooms occasionally to visitors, bathroom and kitchen we share.
In the room, you have, of course, Internet. There is a double bed with fresh linen, a wardrobe, nice smelling towels and I provide as well shower gel & shampoo, if you want.
I will be very happy to give you recommendations for restaurants, bars, events or trips once you are here in Barcelona. Please don´t hesitate to send me any other query you may have.

thanks a lot eva,
m & s
We had a great time staying with Eva. She is lovely, the appartment is great and at a good location, and her cats are very sweet. We definitely enjoyed our stay and can recommend it to everyone.
P.s. The terrace attached to the room is the best one in Barcelona ;)
Apartment is very nice, room is spacious and Eva is cheerful and very helpful.
The area is convenient to the metro and is full of all kinds of shops.
We enjoyed our stay at Eva´s beautiful and very clean apartment a lot. Our room was spacious and connected to the nice terrace, where one could enjoy Barcelona sun along with cup of tea and fresh croissants, which could be bought in one of many bakeries located nearby. The location is very central, but not noisy. It offers everything one could need - tapa bars, fancy restaurants, supermarkets, perfect public transport connections and much more. Eva is very helpful and easygoing person. She gave us many good advises on sightseeing, also outside Barcelona. And last but not least - Ludwig and Elsa have stolen our hearts!
Joining instructions were excellent and Eva was there to welcome me. Really friendly host; very helpful. Lovely apartment.
Eva is a very kind and interesting person, she gave us a lot of cleaver informations about Barcelona. She have a beatifull flat, close to the center of the town, near the ramblas.
It was a great and funny experience of visiting Barcelone, Eva was a very good host!
The room is clean and situated near the city center.
The terrace is really wonderful.
Eva is a kind host and willing to give advice on events and good locations.
Eva is a very nice person. Her apartment is cozy and is situated in a very good location. Thank you for the wonderful time spent in Barcelona. :)
Pawel & Klaudia
Unser Besuch bei Eva in Barcelona war nicht nur ein Trip nach Spanien sondern auch eine kleine Zeitreise. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr gepflegt und man erkennt ganz deutlich Evas Vorliebe für das Design der 70er-Jahre. Wir haben uns total wohl gefühlt. Die Lage der Wohnung ist toll. Zu Fuß gelangt man schnell ins Herzen der Stadt und an den Strand. Auf dem großen Balkon kann man nach den Ausflügen schön ausruhen und entspannen. Eva ist eine sehr sympathische Vermieterin. Sie ist offen und kommunikativ, aber keineswegs aufdringlich.

Ping sweep
Does any one know a link for code in c to do a ping sweep in which you could say give the start Ip and end ip on a lan.
for e.g START I/P 10.225.225.1
end I/P 10.225.225.20
The program performs a ping on all the machines and returns with IP of those from which it got a reply.Going through previous posts I can see some one was working on it but no code was there.If any one has a link.
Re: Ping sweep
on which platform windows or linux ??
Re: Ping sweep
Re: Ping sweep
With over 4 billion possible email addresses such a program would take forever to execute. The TCP/IP designers already thought of that; lookup BROADCAST messages.

To compare the stage-stratified survival of Japanese patients treated in Honolulu according to Western techniques with that of Japanese patients treated in Tokyo according to Japanese techniques, thus eliminating race as a potentially confounding variable.
Design and Patients:
Of 312 Honolulu Japanese patients surviving Western-type gastric resection for neoplasm between 1974 and 1985, 279 were identified with invasive gastric adenocarcinoma unassociated with any second malignancy. This Honolulu cohort, treated by Western methods, was retrospectively compared with a similar, previously described cohort of 3176 Tokyo Japanese patients treated according to Japanese methods.
Main Outcome Measures:
American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union Internationale Contre le Cancer criteria for stage-stratified survival.
Despite non-TNM prognostic factors favoring higher survival for the Honolulu Japanese patients, for every TNM stage, we observed higher survival for the Tokyo Japanese patients who were treated according to Japanese techniques. For stage I disease, the survival rates were 86% vs 96%, respectively (P<.001); for stage II, 69% vs 77% (P=.15); for stage III, 21% vs 49% (P<.001); and for stage IV, 4% vs 14% (P<.001).
Because all patients in this study are Japanese, race-related factors or the "different-disease" hypothesis cannot explain these results. Lymphadenectomyrelated stage-migration and/or differing therapeutic efficacy seem more likely explanations.(Arch Surg. 1996;131:170-175)

Congress Passes Zika Funding BillCongress passed and President Obama signed a 10-week continuing resolution, which includes $1.1 billion for Zika virus research.
E. coli is a bacterium; a one-celled organism that is too small to see by the naked eye, and is also sometimes referred to as a microorganism or microbe. E. coli is an abbreviation of the organism's full scientific name: Escherichia coli. Scientists normally use E. coli for short; similar to how we call ourselves humans, rather than using our full scientific name Homo sapiens. E. coli got its first name, Escherichia, from the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who discovered the bacteria in 1885. Its second name, coli, means "from the colon", which is the organism's natural habitat. Most E. coli live and grow harmlessly in the gastrointestinal tract, or gut, of many animals, including humans.
There are many different types of E. coli. Scientists refer to these different types as strains. In a sense, E. coli strains are like dog breeds, all strains of E. coli are the same type of organism but they may have somewhat different traits. Like dog breeds, different E. coli strains can mix with each other to produce new strains with a combination of traits. Scientists sort E. coli into different strains according to the particular set of marker compounds they carry on their surfaces (not unlike dogs' different colors and textures of hair). For example, the E. coli strain responsible for the outbreaks in Germany is named O104:H4. The letter "O" refers to a marker on E. coli's surface that is found in hundreds of different shapes, in this case, shape #104. The "H" describes a different marker that is found on the E. coli's flagellum, a tail-like appendage used by E. coli to swim around. It is not the "H" or "O" molecules themselves that make E. coli lethal. They are simply markers that are easy to detect, allowing us to tell one E. coli strain from another.
Unfortunately, the E. coli strains people are most familiar with are those that cause disease. Perhaps the most infamous strain is O157:H7, which was responsible for the Jack in the Box hamburger outbreak in 1993 and the more recent spinach outbreak in 2006. Rather than existing harmlessly in our gut, disease-causing strains like O157:H7 disrupt body functions, resulting in diarrhea. The most dangerous strains can also affect the kidneys and nervous systems of victims, causing permanent damage and sometimes even resulting in death.
Yet despite all the attention given to their harmful brethren, most E. coli are not harmful to humans, and some are even beneficial. Many of us host a population of E. coli in our gut that aids digestion and protects us from other harmful microbes. Scientists have used strains of E. coli to study fundamental biological processes, contributing to many important scientific breakthroughs and teaching generations of biology students the rudiments of the scientific method. Other E. coli strains are utilized by researchers in industry to produce important compounds we use every day.

Driver hurt in Millcreek Township crash
One person was taken to the hospital for treatment following a crash in Millcreek Township early this morning.
Millcreek police said the crash happened shortly after 2:30 a.m., when the driver of a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado left the roadway while traveling east in the 3700 block of West 26th Street. The vehicle struck two utility poles and a mailbox, police said.
The driver, who was not identified, was taken to UPMC Hamot.
The accident is under investigation.

A Shooter with RPG elements and fun char.By Dylan Moore Score:
Jun 11, 2010 4:47PM PST
In October 2009, FPS centric developer, Gearbox Software, the guys who brought you Brother in Arms and ports of Half Life, released a game that sought to combine two console genres, RPGs and FPSs, and what that game turned out to be, Borderlands, a shooter that has RPG elements, was unsurprisingly for me pretty damn fun.
Borderlands is set on a mainly desert covered world of Pandora. The main setup is that the Dahl weapons corporation heard of the rumors of alien technology being scattered across Pandora and they sought to monopolize on this opportunity so they can compete with Atlas, a rival corporation, which had previously discovered alien technology on another planet. The alien technology also known as Eridian allowed Atlas to advance leaps and bounds above their competitors. There is also the legend of the enigmatic "Vault" that has a vast cache of the alien technology and possible riches as well. This is basically where the thick of the plot ends as it gets pretty thin and veiled from there. What brings this world into interest for me are the quirky and comical inhabitants of Pandora like the blind and lame, TK Baha, the crazy and unlicensed doctor, Dr. Zed, and the slow slip of into insanity of archaeologist, Patricia Tannis. They make the thin plot humorous and light. Also the NPC and character designs with that cell shaded look are a nice reprieve from the grit of the pseudo realistic look in most current gen FPS titles though it would still be nice to get out of the shades of brown.
The possibility of finding this vault is where the player character comes in as a mercenary in search of the riches in the vault. The four playable characters are of a rather standard fair including an ex-Atlas soldier, Roland, who is well-rounded for combat and specializes in assault rifles; a hunter, Mordecai, who apparently looks like a Truxican Wrestler and specializes in ranged, sniper weapons; an elementalist, Lilith, specializing in elemental damage and has the ability to turn invisible with her phase walk talent; and a tank, Brick, who specializes in explosives and close ranged combat. With these characters there is a team dynamic that shows this game is meant to be played multiplayer. I played first as Mordecai and got along just fine but it was when I played with a friend was when it got really fun in which we continued on an all night playing spree. There also seems to be a lot of modes or sides in the game where you can fight against your friends in arena combat much like Thunderdome if that does not say multiplayer then the reviving system and the multi-seated vehicles in the game do. The reviving system is when your health goes to zero you start to "bleed-out" unless one of your teammates comes and heals you if not then you respawn at your last checkpoint at the expense of some of your money.
The combat feels like a standard shooter which does not use dice rolls to determine if a shot from your character hits the enemies, thank goodness. Combat is heavily affected by character development which is based on a Diablo-style abilities tree in which certain abilities like ranged weapon development is on a separate branch of the tree and you can add to this tree every time you level up. So how much damage you do to enemies or how much health you have is predicated on this development tree.
The combat is also oriented around the quoted "bazillion" guns that are in the game but in truth there are base weapon models in which there are almost endless permutations of additions like elemental damage and other stat boosters. This really pushes on the loot-horde aspect of RPGs in which there are tons of chests and containers everywhere that constantly incentivize you with a new, stronger weapon.
Throughout the game you're fighting against roving bands of bandits and alien creatures like skags and the mysterious "Vault" guardians. The Boss fights in this game are some of the most entertaining with boss names like Sledgehammer, a character who does not like you very much and is not your friend, and Mad Mel which is a wink and a nudge to the movie Mad Max who make the world manic and fun and also the strange abundance of bandit midgets that you have to fight throughout.
The downside is that the combat can feel rather repetitive at times after fighting a lot of the same enemy types over and over, it shows. Also some of the bosses seem to be just bullet sponges that require you to empty a lot of clips to beat them. The enemy AI can be vicious but also dumb at the same time e.g. getting stuck in animation loops or getting stuck behind a rock which can be funny to watch a times.
Despite its flaws, Borderlands is all around a really addicting and fun game. I have put in about three and a half days into playing three different characters so it was pretty fun. With the crazy and quirky characters, the vast amounts of weapons, and the character leveling, I kept coming back and playing more without thinking I need to be playing or doing something else. Also I strongly suggest you find a friend to play with because that increases the fun and replay value immensely.
There have also been additions to the game in downloadable content form that starts with the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, who is totally not related to Dr. Zed, and more recently the Secret Armory of General Knoxx. I was excited for each of these add-ons to one of the best games I played last year.
Zombie Island of Dr. Ned first off offers something that I found an amazing addition to setting, trees and greenery. The addition adds on an end of game side story that has Dr. Ned creating zombies that take over a Jacobs' weapons factory that is based there. So the purpose is to find out what happened on the island and stop the nefarious Dr. Ned and his army of zombies. The enemy additions are of course zombies and lots of them. There is also a mission called "Brains" that I implore you seek out first because it requires you to collect zombie brains and I found and did this quest after I finished the main mission and it was brutally boring so if you want the achievement find the mission to spare yourself the boredom. All in all The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is a fine addition which brings about new and varied areas to explore and is worth the price.
Now one of the most disappointing pieces of downloadable content is Mad Moxxi's Underdome. It is basically a string of arena style combat tournaments which throws wave after wave of enemy units at you that are brutal to tackle by yourself as such I suggest play as a team. This basically continues the trope of horde mode from Gears of War that has been circulating in the FPS genre. I have not been able to get through the tournaments because of the individual difficulty but from that I find it frustrating that they put this up as a ten dollar add-on. The only good idea to come out of this is the weapons bank where you can store some of your unused but horde worthy weapons. This was a disappointing use of ten dollars.
*Spoilers ahead if you have not beaten the original game*
Finally the biggest piece of DLC for this game is The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. This add-on brings you to T-Bone Junction that is connected to other areas by a string of highways with all that road to drive there is also the addition of cool new vehicles like the massive four-seated Lancer. I though got really tried of riding up in down the highways because this add-on has no means of fast travel to the different areas so I ended up restarting the game to cash in missions at the hub area. The basis of the story is that after you have "beaten" Atlas' commander Steele and opened up the "Vault," Atlas now wants to take Pandora back and sends the hilariously ambivalent General Knoxx and his Secret Armory full of weaponry to do so. You meet up with an ex-Atlas assassin, Athena, who wants to help you fight back against the Atlas Corporation and General Knoxx. This download adds a lot of new enemy types mainly the elemental oriented Atlas troops to thwart off the repetition of combat. The type of weird humor from the original game is back in this addition with new characters to encounter like Mad Moxxi and the prison keeper, Mr. Shank, who continue to make the world fuller and funnier. I would say this is the most worth while of the add-ons for the game in which it easily adds ten more hours of game play for your Borderlands enjoyment.

It's perhaps no surprise that cities that historically have shared the same families, feared the same natural disasters and fought the same enemies would be spoken of as sisters.
Charleston, Savannah comparisons
The following facts and figures for the Charleston and Savannah areas are from the 2010 U.S. Census and 2011 Army Corps of Engineers Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center.
Population: Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester: 664,607; Bryan, Chatham and Effingham: 347,611
Median household income: Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester: $52,034; Bryan, Chatham and Effingham: $56,524
Square miles: Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester: 2,592; Bryan, Chatham and Effingham: 1,362
Total port trade in tons: Charleston: 17,916,618; Savannah: 35,459,297
That once was the case with Charleston and Savannah, but things have changed.
No one seems to know why they are not referred to as sisters anymore. Nor can they put a finger on the last time they heard them spoken of that way.
To be sure, the two cities, scarcely 100 miles apart, have never had identical interests. A glaring example, that perhaps stretches back to the days of King Cotton, is each one's desire to have its port be the preferred one.
But surely there must be more to it than that.
Historic ties
The two cities have co-existed for nearly 300 years, Hugh Golson, a Savannah historian and educator said. It was with South Carolina's help that Savannah and Georgia got their start. That's why major streets in downtown Savannah are named for South Carolinians.
Johnson Square is named for S.C. Gov. Robert Johnson. Col. William Bull, South Carolina lieutenant governor, acting governor, and a trained surveyor, helped Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe, Georgia's founder, to lay out the Savannah plan and Bull Street is named for him.
Oglethorpe already had the now-famous model with its green squares, but when it came to putting it in place, Bull provided significant assistance.
"The St. Julians and Bryans and others mostly sent teams of trained slaves," Golson said. "They were sawyers and carpenters sent to make cabins and gates. This was during the 17 years when Savannah could not have slaves.
"They were quite helpful, but it wasn't all charity. It was to Carolina's advantage to put some English folk between them and hostile Spain (in Florida). That was where the threats to Charleston were coming from.
"Of course, Charleston was the older sister giving advice and expertise," he said. "Sometimes it scolded. I think we still look to each other for advice and counsel."
Appeal, preservation
There has long been different opinions among diverse groups as to which city is more visually appealing, Golson said.
"The subject would make for an interesting contest."
Both cities have suffered losses of valuable features, Golson said. Savannah lost almost 50 percent of its downtown area to automobile traffic and Charleston suffered a major fire and regular bombardment during the Civil War.
Evan Thompson, executive director of the Preservation Society of Charleston, said Savannah has lost a lot more buildings to fires than Charleston, but he compares the cities in other terms.
"One is not more attractive than the other. They are more interesting as a contrast," Thompson said.
"Charleston is very much a low-lying city, whereas Savannah sits up on a bluff, and its position is much more inland. Charleston looks more out onto the ocean. Savannah was laid out on very neat grids with the squares at regular intervals as open green parks. The entire city reads as an open grid."
Charleston's earliest walled city was a grid, but later streets followed the terrain more and were laid out at different angles, Thompson said. Savannah's streets are wider with service alleys behind major thoroughfares.
"Charleston planned for protection because it was not naturally protected as Savannah was," he said.
It's more challenging to see the impact of historic preservation in Savannah because the city is so spread out.
"One important thing to note is that the Savannah College of Art and Design has been a been a major catalyst for preservation in Savannah and has taken a creative approach to adaptive use of old buildings," Thompson said.
SCAD is a decentralized school that has put its imprint around the town. One example is the railway building art gallery. The college's Museum of Art is in an 1856 Greek Revival structure that once was home to the Central of Georgia Railway headquarters.
"Savannah has done well in tourism across the recent recessions," Golson said. "People keep coming back with new and innovative start-up ideas," such as the town's pedal bars, in which six to eight people sit at a rolling bar, complete with a designated driver.
The tourism industry is always looking to see how it can be more unique and developing more niche tours.
"The Davenport House (a museum operated by the Historic Savannah Foundation) does sunrise tours. You might catch a tour before you go to work."
Some things, such as the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" have had rejection and acceptance, said Walter J. Fraser, who wrote "Charleston! Charleston! The History of a Southern City," and is currently writing "Savannah in the New South."
"I don't think the old Savannahians like that book at all," he said of John Berendt's novel. "They just refer to it as 'the book.' But the Realtors really embraced it because it brought in a large number of people who began to rehabilitate properties."
Thompson said people who come to Charleston are drawn here simply because they want to see the beautiful city.
After "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and "Forrest Gump," that was not the case for Savannah.
"Savannah had this whole persona as a mysterious city of odd people sort of wandering the streets. Either they came looking for it (that image of Savannah) and not finding it or the city had to make an effort to show the city was more than that."
Thompson applauds Savannah's decision to stop considering whether to host cruise ships. He said the controversy surrounding Charleston's cruise industry is partly responsible for Savannah's decision.
"They don't want to be completely consumed by it," Thompson said.
Most livable
As a hometown, Thompson said, Charleston offers its residents more amenities.
"The compactness of the city makes it so much more accessible. They can bike and walk relatively short distances. Broughton Street (Savannah's answer to King Street) is coming along. Both cities have busy markets."
Resident attitudes
"I think each wants to stand out by themselves," Fraser said. "There is a ditty about Savannah. When you meet someone in Savannah, allegedly they say, 'Well, nice to know you. What do you drink?' In Charleston, they probably say: 'Who are your people?' "
As for Charleston being thought of as the 'Holy City' and Savannah the 'party town,' " Golson responded:
"Holy City? I thought that was Savannah," he said. People who make Savannah out to be a party town focus on one small part of the population, he said.
"That is not the general theme of Savannah. It got that reputation because of a few books."
Charleston has always been its older sister, giving advice. But long after Savannah's founding, when it got a sizeable German community, it copied its organization from Charleston's German Friendly Society. It was the same with the Hibernians.
When Savannah became alarmed about losing all of its old buildings, it looked to Charleston, Golson said.
"Historic Savannah grew out of Historic Charleston. Charleston always seemed to be our model.
"We even followed Charleston's mistake," Golson added. "We planted Chinaberry trees."

More than 70 percent of reported chlamydia infections and almost 60 percent of gonorrhea cases in 2006 were reported among those ages 15 to 24. A steady number of infections were to preteens, some as young as 10, according to the Cleveland Department of Public Health, which compiles numbers for the county.
The statistics show:
• Double digit rate increases for the infections in the suburbs in the past few years.
• Females represent a majority of the cases, likely because they more often get tested, health officials said.
• Black youth have the highest infection rates.
Health officials worry about the rising infection rates not only because they happened during a period where teen pregnancy was dropping, but because the infections -- easily treated with antibiotics -- leave youth more susceptible to more serious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS.
The cases of HIV/AIDS among those ages 15 to 24 more than doubled to 80 cases in 2006-2007, according to David Bruckman, health department biostatistician.
|How to get help
Testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections cost about $10 or less clinics. Teens, ages 13 and older, can get the confidential testing and treatment without parental notification.
|J. Glen Smith Health Center
11100 St. Clair Ave.
(216) 249-4100
|Thomas F. McCafferty Health Center

Six locations in Cleveland
"We believe it should be as easy as possible for youth to access testing and treatment," Butler said.
She said youngsters need to be taught how to protect themselves and be assured that they won't be stigmatized for it.
One of the ways Cleveland is doing that is to send a mobile clinic to recreation centers and other areas where teens congregate, she said.
Efforts have been made to get more comprehensive sex education programs -- like the ones in Cleveland -- in the suburbs through the Cuyahoga County Teen Wellness Initiative.
But some health educators say they still meet resistance to talking about sexually transmitted diseases and testing in suburban schools.
A Centers for Disease Control study in March concluded that 1 in 4 teen girls between the ages of 14 and 19 has at least one sexually transmitted disease.
Another CDC study released last month showed for the first time in a decade that condom use may be declining but the number of sexually active teens is not.
Tonya Block, who oversees county efforts to educate kids about health lifestyles, said recently that she believed some teen girls may have stopped using condoms when birth control methods like the patch or shot became available. She said the county needs to emphasize the need for pregnancy and infection prevention at the same time.
Teens say one main obstacle to reversing the trend may be adults attitudes about teens and sex.
"I think teens are afraid to get tested because they are afraid to be judged by adults," Roselyn Muniz, a teen educator said.
The 17-year-old has talked to her peers for the past four years in schools, in libraries and on a mobile health clinic about sex and the responsibilities and consequences that go along with it through Teens Talking to Teens program.
Muniz also talks to parents about teens and sex. She tells them that many young people just want their questions answered, she said, regardless of whether they are having sex. It's best if parents do the talking. But if they can't or won't, she or one of two dozen other trained teen educators will.
They use peer pressure in a positive way. "The best thing about what we do is that it is teen to teen," Muniz said. "It's not adults so the teens can be more relaxed and more comfortable."
Priscilla Rivera, 16, another teen educator, said she understands why many parents have a hard line about abstinence with their children. But, she says, "if they don't do what you want them to do, don't you still want them to be safe?"
The group of teens work to dispel myths.
Such as: You can't get an infection if you only have oral sex.
Not true, infections can be spread though, vaginal, oral and anal sex.
They preach that the biggest symptom of an infection is no symptom at all and recommend getting tested once every six months or anytime they have a new sexual partner.
The educators also demonstrate a potato-chip-bag trick to teach teens about condom use. Many teens hide condoms from their parents, jamming them in wallets and glove boxes -- often rendering the protection ineffective.
Before using a condom, they tell teens to check the expiration date and to squeeze the package to make sure it has air in it (just like the chip bag). If it doesn't, it shouldn't be used.
The teen educators often ride on the city health department's mobile teen clinic to make it less daunting for their peers to come aboard.
Kelly Faciana, who oversees the teen educators and directs educational programs for Planned Parenthood, said her crew can often talk teens into getting tested.
Faciana said that about 200 kids from ages 13 to 19 are tested a month and 12 percent have an infection.
Kalia Johnson, who educates patients at The Free Clinic's teen clinic, said they test about 10 teens -- mostly girls -- each day. Johnson said teens from as far away as Solon come to the clinic and they need information about sexually transmitted infections, whether their parents believe it or not.
"I'm having a hard time getting into suburban schools," Johnson said.
Faciana said that suburban communities are more difficult to work in because they are smaller and often more secretive. She said boys are also harder to reach.
The Cleveland schools in the past few years have instituted a comprehensive sex education program and the Cuyahoga County Teen Wellness Initiative is also working to spread the education.
|About Chlamydia
Caused by a bacteria, treated with antibiotics.
Detected by a swab or urine sample. Many times no symptoms occur Can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility if untreated Mothers can pass it on to infants, causing complications.
|About Gonorrhea
Caused by a bacteria, treated with antibiotics.
Detected by a swab or urine sample. In males can cause painful discharge and swollen testicles. Some women show no symptoms, others have painful urination and discharge. Many infected mothers pass it on to infants, who can go blind or suffer other complications.

Guys have been moving in with their girlfriends for centuries. And so what if a guy's pad is a grand 19th-century mansion? He's still going to fight over the remote, and he's still going to have to tell his mum—in this case, the Queen of England.
Her Majesty was apparently not too bent out of shape by the news that Prince Charles, 54, his sons William and Harry, plus his longtime soulmate Camilla Parker Bowles, 56, will be moving in together at Clarence House, the
former residence of the late Queen Mum that has been freshened up with a $10 million renovation. Royal watchers are all aquiver wondering if the move is a prelude to the long-anticipated wedding bells. Opinion polls have shown a growing acceptance of Camilla, and a Palace source says she has a "perfectly civil and amicable" relationship with Princes William, 21, and Harry, 18. Camilla has been careful not to behave like a bossy stepmother or even to be seen with them in public. "There is a logical decision not to push it," says her biographer Christopher Wilson, "and so there is no warmth or friendship between them."
Perhaps that will change at Clarence House. Charles and Camilla have adjoining suites on the second floor; the boys have bedrooms one floor up (they share a sitting room they can "trash," a Palace official says). More rooms on the fourth floor are for servants and the princes' crashing pals (five ground-floor rooms are open for public tours at $8 a pop). Can four endlessly scrutinized Brits find happiness in a sprawling mansion? Hey, it works for the Osbournes.

NIAGARA FALLS – An Eighth Street man said a gun was pointed at his head and three men forced their way into his home in the 1600 block of Eighth Street just after 5 a.m. Tuesday.
The 35-year-old victim said the men all had handguns and demanded he hand over pills. He said one man hit him in the head twice with a pistol and two other men kicked in a bathroom door where his wife was hiding and when she screamed he said they her in on the side of her face with a pistol four times, then took her purse.
The victim told police he had taken a cab ride earlier that night to a 7-Eleven and believes that he recognized one of the man who had a tattoo under his eye. He said the man had been in the cab with him and asked him questions about drugs.

Grid'5000 experiment
end-to-end (node-to-node, over the backbone) 10 Gbps data transfer (Networking)
Conducted byLucas Nussbaum
DescriptionThe goal of this experiment was to check whether it would be possible to make use of the 10 Gbps backbone directly from nodes.
I used two sites:
- Lyon, where some machines from the RESO team are connected to the Grid'5000 network using 10 GbE. (Myrinet 10G cards, connected to a Fujitsu 10G switch)
- Rennes, where the Myrinet 10G network (running in "Myrinet", not "Ethernet" mode) is connected to the site's main router via a Ethernet/Myrinet bridge (ref: 10G-SW16LC-6C2ER). So I used IP over ethernet, emulated over MX from the node to the Myrinet switch, then 10 GbE from the switch to Rennes' router.
I used the routable IP addresses in the 10. class to configure NICs at both ends. In Lyon, the myri10ge driver was used, while in Rennes, the proprietary Myrinet driver was used.
- the proprietary Myrinet driver has a bug that causes frames coming from the ethernet bridge to be broadcasted to all nodes. Fixed in driver version 1.2.8.
- TCP buffers need to be tuned.
The achieved bandwidth was a bit disappointing.
Rennes->Lyon: 3.2 Gbps max
Lyon->Rennes: 4.7 Gbps max
Possible bottlenecks (not investigated yet):
- ethernet emulation over MX -- unlikely, because node-node bandwith is much higher - measured 8.9 Gbps
- ethernet/myrinet bridge -- we would need to stress it using local nodes
- backbone network
- TCP tuning. I configured the buffer sizes to 64M to be on the safe side, but didn't play with the various TCP congestion control algorithms.The nodes in Lyon were not deployable, and kernel version 2.6.18 was used. After installing a 2.6.26 kernel, max bandwidth was about the same, but results were more reproducible.
The results were not very reproducible (only the max bandwidth is given above): the bandwidth sometimes stayed stable at a much lower rate, so the most likely suspect is a problem with TCP tuning.
I did the following experiment:
A single Myrinet node sends data through the Myrinet/Ethernet bridge to an increasing number of Ethernet nodes in Rennes. The expected result was to reach a 10 Gbps outgoing bandwidth. The bandwidth stopped increasing after three target nodes were added, at around 3 Gbps. This clearly points to the bridge as the bottleneck.
- Nodes involved: 1
- Sites involved: 2
- Minimum walltime: 1h
- Batch mode: yes
- Use kadeploy: yes
- CPU bound: yes
- Memory bound: yes
- Storage bound: no
- Network bound: yes
- Interlink bound: yes
Tools usediperf, and a custom-made bandwidth measurement tool.
Results"it works."

Mark Sanchez Is Day-To-Day
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is listed as day to day with an injured right shoulder, the team announced Sunday -- but his availability for the season opener remains in doubt, according to sources.
The Jets provided no other details except to say that Sanchez won't play Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles in the final preseason game. But he wasn't expected to play anyway, as coach Rex Ryan never uses his starters in the finale.
Sanchez underwent an MRI exam Sunday, and has a bruised right shoulder joint, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The source said the team will not know how long Sanchez will be sidelined until he resumes throwing.

Baseball's Terry Blocker Finds a Teammate's Alleged Killer
What Blocker ended up doing was tracking down the man police say was the killer. Just hours after the murder on March 24, the 35-year-old outfielder and former Pentecostal deacon from Stone Mountain, Ga., descended into a seamy part of West Palm and—with help from a pair of unlikely accomplices—came up with the street name of a career criminal with a string of arrests for crimes ranging from kidnapping to cocaine possession. "He went into some very rough areas of our town," says admiring West Palm Beach police sergeant John English. "At times it got a little scary," admitted Blocker to the Palm Beach Post, "but I overcame that. I knew I had to do what I was doing. I fear God, but I don't fear man."
Blocker—who, like Shotkoski, had knocked around baseball's minor leagues for years—knew West Palm from 1988 and 1989 stints with the Braves. During that time he had given $100 to a local man who, he says, "was a little down on his luck." After the murder, Blocker contacted the man and asked for his help. At 10 p.m., just 4 hours after the killing, the pair ventured into a part of town misnamed Pleasant City. "We pretty much figured the guy [killer] was from there," says Blocker. "That's where all the crime and drugs are." For several hours they hung out on street corners and endured the taunts of local thugs, one of whom threatened to steal Blocker's gold watch and the championship ring he had earned with the Triple-A Mets. "I was a new face—they wanted to know where I was coming from," Blocker says. "I got cussed out, but I just stood there and smiled."
Growing up in Columbia, S.C., Blocker got used to life on the wild side. "I carried a gun and talked the talk," he says. "I'm lucky I got out of that world before I got killed or killed somebody myself." His luck almost ran out that night in Pleasant City, though, when he was confronted by a would-be gangsta calling himself—after the well-known rapper—Dr. Dre. "This guy got up in my face, blew smoke from his crack pipe three or four times," says Blocker. "He wanted to fight, make me look like a chump for his friends standing there. But I wouldn't let him."
Ultimately, it was this man who led Blocker to the alleged killer. When the Braves game was canceled the next day in memory of Shotkoski, Blocker went back to Pleasant City under the pretext of doing his laundry and ran into Dr. Dre again. "This time we talked like normal people," says Blocker. "I told him I was a Christian, not out to hurt anybody, just looking for information about the murder of a friend. He apologized for scaring me and said he'd help out if he heard anything."
The next day, Dr. Dre phoned Blocker's friend at 4:30 a.m. to tell him a man known as 1000 had been "bragging all over the place" that he had killed the Atlanta Braves pitcher. Blocker promptly shared the tip with the West Palm police and discovered that they were quite familiar with "1000," Neal Douglas Evans, 30, who had a rap sheet "seven feet long." Evans, it turned out, had been given early release from prison because of overcrowding, but he had violated his parole. Police arrested him that night.
Blocker was offered a share of the $10,000 reward put up by the Braves and West Palm police, but he declined it. "That was not my motivation," he says. "I was looking for satisfaction of a different kind." Instead, he suggested that police give the money to Shotkoski's widow, Felicia, 29, who lives in North Aurora, Ill., with Alexis, the couple's 9-month-old daughter.
Felicia could certainly use the money. She and Dave, a supervisor at a Coca-Cola plant, had just bought a new house and a new car for her to drive to her United Airlines job in Chicago. But money is not Felicia's primary concern right now. "I am lost, completely," she says. "My heart is ripped in two." Of Terry Blocker, she says, "I was proud of him. I was proud my husband had a chance to know him—he's a good man."
Ironically, the Braves had decided before the murder to keep Shotkoski on their replacement roster and release Blocker. It no longer matters, with the baseball strike over and the replacement teams disbanded. Blocker, a former TV cable company technician, took his dismissal hard at first, even though the Braves found him a spot on a Mexican team. "I was feeling bitter about it those first few days—the fact they didn't appreciate me," he admits.
But once he got home to Stone Mountain and saw his wife, LaFrancine, 34, his son Terry Jr., 11, and daughter LaTerrica, 5, Blocker began feeling differently. "I realized that everything was happening for a reason," he says. "God sent me there not to play baseball but to show people that we need to care about each other."

Mission Statement Lyrics[Intro]
Cut the check man (woh) x2
[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen (gentlemen)
Consider this moment the Genesis (Genesis)
This is the part where you flip the fuck out
As you feel the adrenaline (feel the adrenaline)
I'm only here to give-
I'm only here to give you the experience (oh what an experience)
Oh what an experience
They probably should've prescribed me with Ritalin (yea)
But fuck it
Rumor has it A.D.H.D wasn't real, it was just an experiment
All of these years I was taught to be ignorant (what)
Tryin' to figure out why I'm so dif-ferent
Modern day life is set up like a pyramid (what)
I was sleep, man I woke from the ignorance (ha)
Wake up now, tryna' sell me a membership
Shittin' on niggas so much that I'm hemorrhaging
Your bitch on my couch auditioning
She wants me to buy her some booty shots
But I can't fix a flat , I'm not Michelin
My mind's overflowing with images
So many thoughts I can never remember them (ha)
But I never forget to go straight to the source
I learned to cut out all the middle man
I got no patience for your basics
Time is windiling, you just ain't interesting
No strangers inside of the organization
That shit is strictly prohibited (what)
The music industry is sickening (what)
But no one will ever admit this shit (oh no)
These niggas ain't making the numbers they make
Shit and half of these niggas pretending
Yo, fuck a hater, fuck a genre (fuck it)
No genre (no)
You can't box it in
They try to box me in but they couldn't box me in
They try to describe me but they just still can't describe me to this day
You'll never be able to describe me
No genre (no genre) x3
The label
[Verse 2]
Why do I bother? (why do I bother)
Spending time gathering thoughts up
(?) go a little bit harder (little bit harder)
I'm like Jesus on the microphone
I make vodka from water (shots x3)
Kinda' like Jimmy Carter
Just a little bit darker (just a little bit darker?)
The rap game just got a little bit smaller
I just lay down the facts
So lay down and stay down
Or stay off my sac (ok)
Niggas say I ain't dope, need to lay off the crack
Bustin' like a motherfuckin' AR with lasers
Drop a fuckin' bomb on the radar like Adolph was back
I blow a (?) straight off the map
Hundred round ricochet, when them stray rounds come back
Got to go and get this paper, I can't hang out to chat
Where the- where the- where the playas at?
Bring the paper back
Running through the racks like a motherfuckin' pyromaniac
I need a lady that ain't a basic rat, with a crazy gat
With a decent booty hanging out her back
Give that thing a smack like a angry black (pow)
But before I smash gotta' wear a safety hat
Bobby where the mac? x2
Man Eastside got the flow, had to bring it back
Now motherfuckers acting conscious and shit (ha)
Just cause you're dressed like a hippie
Attending the culture like concerts and shit (?)
Don't make you no different than me
Cause I happen to like making money and shit
I'm just being honest, I never make promises
I just pay homage and shit

WAILUKU - The state Campaign Spending Commission has fined Don Couch $375 for exceeding the cap on nonresident campaign contributions in his 2008 County Council campaign.
The commission imposed the fine Jan. 13 at its monthly meeting in Honolulu, eight months after it determined he exceeded the limit for one of the 2008 election's campaign spending reporting periods. Couch said two donors he had believed to be Maui residents were found by the commission to be Mainland residents.
On Wednesday, Couch said he accepted the commission's decision and would be more careful accepting donations in the future. He said his 2008 campaign had a policy to ask donors if they were Hawaii residents, but he didn't ask some donors if he knew them personally.

"We'll just be more careful," he said. "If we have the slightest question, we'll certainly ask."
Couch stressed that he had cooperated fully with the commission's investigation.
"We worked very closely with the Campaign Spending Commission," he said. "The biggest thing is we were always open and transparent. Our stuff was out there all the time, and we want to make sure it always is."
Pukalani resident Sean Lester, who filed the initial complaint against Couch, said that he was gratified by the commission's decision.
"Hopefully this will help Mr. Couch be more clear about where he's taking his money from in the future, and will help our process work a little better," he said.
Lester has previously said he filed the complaint because he was concerned about the influence of large corporations and nonresidents on Hawaii elections.
Couch lost in 2008 to Wayne Nishiki in the race for the County Council's South Maui residency seat.
Commission Executive Director Barbara Wong said Wednesday that it was "absolutely" true that Couch's campaign had been cooperative with the investigation.
"They were very cooperative," she said. "The treasurer
provided us with everything we asked for immediately, and she even provided information they didn't have to provide."
Under state law, no more than 20 percent of the political contributions a candidate receives in each reporting period may come from non-Hawaii residents.
The commission found last year that two donors Couch had reported as being Hawaii residents were actually Mainland residents. The donors were Stephen Goodfellow, who gave $1,000; and Kay Lloyd, who gave $500.
Couch said at the time he was surprised by the finding because he knew both Goodfellow and Lloyd personally, knew their community involvement and had been to their homes, and had believed they were Hawaii residents.
Regardless of the mailing address provided by a political donor, the Campaign Spending Commission uses the same criteria used to determine if a person is eligible to vote in Hawaii to determine if they are counted as a resident.
Lester said he remained concerned about the impact of a court ruling last year that overturned a separate limit on the total amount that corporations could contribute to political candidates.
In June, the Intermediate Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that individuals and corporations can contribute up to $4,000 to a candidate campaigning for a four-year county office, without having to register with the commission as a political action committee.
Mayor Charmaine Tavares filed the 2007 lawsuit that resulted in the decision.
Lester said the ruling made it more difficult for the Campaign Spending Commission to scrutinize political donations in cases like Couch's.
"We now have a breed of candidate that knows how to 'work the system' based on the Tavares ruling," he said.
Wong said the commission decided last year not to appeal the court's decision, and that the deadline to appeal has passed.
The court's decision dealt with a separate area of campaign spending law and "had no bearing at all" on Couch's case, she added.
