►BALL STATE VERSUS MINNESOTA: Ball State will be making its third trip all-time to Minnesota this weekend, with its last visit coming as part of the 2002 Minnesota Nike Classic (Sept. 13-14, 2002) ... Overall, Minnesota holds a 2-1 edge in the all-time series with Ball State, sweeping both matches on its home court Dec. 1, 1993 (15-6, 15-11, 15-9) and Sept. 14, 2002 (30-17, 30-20, 30-25) ...

►BALL STATE VERSUS DUKE: The Blue Devils hold a 3-1 edge in the all-time series versus the Cardinals ...

Duke won the first three meetings all on its home court.
►BALL STATE VERSUS WESTERN ILLINOIS: The Cardinals hold a 5-3 edge in the all-time series versus the Leathernecks ... However, the two teams have not played since a 3-0 (15-2, 15-1, 15-9) Ball State victory in Worthen Arena Nov. 6, 1993 ... In fact, the teams have only played two times since the 1970's, with WIU picking up a 3-2 (4-15, 15-10, 15-10, 5-15, 15-9) home win Sept. 14, 1990.
►SCOUTING THE CARDINALS: Ball State enters the Diet Coke Classic with a 3-1 record after Wednesday's thrilling 3-2 home victory over IPFW ...

As a team, the Ball State defense has held its opponents to a combined .157 hitting mark, including a .098 mark from IPFW Wednesday.
MINNESOTA enters the weekend with a perfect 4-0 record and ranked fourth in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association Poll ...

Tori Dixon paces the Minnesota attack with a 4.08 kills-per-set average, while the team is hitting a combined .339 ... Minnesota is limiting opponents to a .094 rate of success.
DUKE enters the weekend with a 2-1 record after posting a 2-1 record at last weekend's Campus USA Credit Union Invitational ... The Blue Devils picked up sweeps over LIU Brooklyn and New Orleans before being swept by tournament host and No. 9 Florida ... Emily Sklar leads the Duke offense with a 4.17 kills-per-set average, while the team is hitting a combined .272 ... Opponents are only hitting .154 versus Duke.
WESTERN ILLINOIS enters the weekend with a 2-2 record after suffering a 3-2 setback at Northern Illinois Wednesday ... In the match, Samantha Fournier tallied a season-high 20 kills ... Overall, Ann Miller leads the team with a 4.24 kills-per-set average ... As a team, the Leathernecks are hitting a combined .200 while limiting opponents to a .151 attacking mark.
►IMPRESSIVE OPENING SET: Ball State's 25-7 opening set victory over IPFW Wednesday was the second-most lopsided set win for the Cardinals in the 25-point rally scoring era ... The only better performance came Sept. 3, 2010 in the form of a 25-5 opening-set win over Tennessee State ... Ball State has won six sets by a score of 25-8, most recently in the opening set versus Gardner Webb Aug. 24, 2012.
►MORE ON THE BIG SET WIN: Ball State's offense connected for a .480 (15-3-25) rate of success in Wednesday's opening set versus IPFW, while limiting the Mastodons to two kills and a -.080 (2-4-25) attack percentage ... Senior Mindy Marx led the charge in the frame with seven kills and a .750 (7-1-8) hitting mark.
►GOING FOR 20: With her career-high 24 kills in Wednesday's win over IPFW, Alex Fuelling became the first Ball State player to smash 20-or-more kills in a match this season and the first since Kara Bates tagged 24 at Northern Colorado Sept. 8, 2012 ... Fuelling's 24 kills versus the Mastodons are the second-most in a match the 25-point rally scoring era for the Cardinals, trailing only Kelsey Brandl's 25 kills at Toledo (Oct. 7, 2010) ... Overall, Fuelling is only the sixth BSU player to smash 20-or-more-kills in a match in the 25-point era.
►FUELLING DIGGING IT UP: In addition to her career-high 24 kills, Alex Fuelling collected a career-best 15 digs in the win over IPFW ... Fuelling has been one of BSU's top defenders this season, ranking second on the team with a 3.20 digs-per-set average ... In 32 matches as a freshman at Morehead State, Fuelling only recorded 45 digs for a 0.57 per-set average ... So far this season, Fuelling has 48 digs in four matches.
►TWO MORE CAREER NOTES FROM IPFW: Starting with her seven kills in the first set, Mindy Marx finished Wednesday's win over IPFW with a career-high 15 kills ... Kelly Hopkins added a career-best 11 kills in the contest.
►LEADING THE MAC: With seven more kills and a .333 (7-2-15) hitting mark, Hayley Benson continued her solid 2013 campaign Wednesday versus IPFW ... Benson leads the MAC with a .480 (39-3-75) attack percentage and ranks second on the squad with a 2.60 kills-per-set average ... In 21 matches last season, Benson tallied just 65 kills (1.20) and hit .155.
►GOING FOR 2,000: Catie Fredrich enters the Diet Coke Classic ranked fifth in program history with 1,453 career digs ... She needs just 200 more digs to climb into third in BSU's record book and could become just the third player in program history to reach 2,000 career digs with 547 more this season ... Fredrich, who has collected double-digit digs in all four matches this season, also ranks fourth in career matches with double-digit digs (75), fourth in career digs-per-set average (4.06) and fifth in career matches with 20-or-more digs (22).
►MAC PRESEASON PROGNOSTICATION: Ball State was selected to finish fourth in the Mid-American Conference West Division in the league's annual preseason coaches poll which was released Aug. 28 ... Western Michigan is the favorite to win the division with five first place votes, followed by Northern Illinois (four first-place votes), Central Michigan (three first-place votes), BSU, Eastern Michigan and Toledo ... Bowling Green picked up seven first place votes to lead the MAC East, followed by Ohio (five first-place votes), Miami, Buffalo, Akron and Kent State ...

text: KULLU, the valley's capital since the mid-seventeenth century, became district headquarters after Independence. Despite being the region's main market and transport hub it has been eclipsed as a tourist centre by Manali, 40km north. Kullu is noisy, polluted and worlds away from the tranquil villages that peer down from the surrounding hillsides, even though a bypass now diverts some of the traffic from the centre. Kullu makes a handy transport hub if you're travelling onwards to the Parvati Valley, and there are several temples dotted around town, some of which provide fine valley views. In October, when the entire population of the valley comes to town to celebrate Dussehra, the city takes on a life of its own.

Why is it those who have no knowledge of the British scene feel compelled to spew their shit over the forums?
Brook & Cleverly don't compare.
Brook isn't holding a title ransom against bums, he's working his way up to obtaining a title in a legitimate manner. I really wasn't surprised with the result and how the fight played out but they're obviously going to hype off it as it was an IBF eliminator too.
So, you didn't learn anything last night about Brook, cool. Just educate yourself in the future before you make stupid threads.

text: Explore Singapore What to see When to go Getting there Arrival Transport Accommodation Eating Drinking and nightlife Entertainment Shopping Festivals Kids' Singapore The media Travel essentials Share The range of Chinese cooking available in Singapore represents a mouthwatering sweep through China's southeastern seaboard, reflecting the historical pattern of emigration from Fujian, Guangzhou and Hainan Island provinces. Frankly there aren't clear-cut differences between each province's style; it's more that each has its signature dishes (including some that were actually created by hawkers in Singapore and have subsequently become local standards). You'll also come across food from further afield in China, notably northern Beijing (or Peking) and western Sichuan cuisines. It's good to retain a sense of adventure when exploring menus: the Chinese eat all parts of an animal, from its lips to its entrails. One popular feature of some Singapore Chinese kopitiams and restaurants is what's termed zichar – which basically means that their food has a home-cooked, less formal slant, with more flexibility to order dishes that don't correspond exactly to what's on the menu. Cantonese Cantonese food dominates in formal restaurants, reflecting that cuisine's pre-eminence in Chinese cooking. It's noted for its subtleties of flavour and memorable sauces, most famously sweet-and-sour. Fish and seafood weigh in heavily, either fried or steamed, and other specialities include pigeon, roast meats and frogs' legs. Dim sum is also a classic Cantonese meal: literally translated as "to touch the heart", it's a blanket term for an array of dumplings, cakes and tidbits steamed in bamboo baskets. Though you do occasionally see it on lunch menus, traditionally dim sum is eaten for breakfast, with one basket (of three or four pieces) costing as little as $3. Hainanese Hainanese cuisine in Singapore is synonymous with chicken rice, a simple but tasty platter featuring, predictably enough, slices of chicken laid on rice that has been cooked in chicken stock, with a chilli and ginger dip. Historically, though, the Hainanese were chefs to the British and kept their colonial employers happy with a range of fusion dishes such as pork chops, still found on menus. Hokkien The Hokkien chef relies heavily upon sauces and broths to cook his meat and (primarily) seafood. Without doubt, the cuisine's most popular dish in Singapore is Hokkien mee, though confusingly it comes in two styles. The classic hawker version doesn't consist of just mee – yellow noodles – but also features white vermicelli, the combination fried with prawns and pork for flavour. In restaurants, however, Hokkien noodles are braised in a savoury brownish sauce. Teochew Chaozhou (Teochew in dialect) is a city in Fujian province where steaming is the most commonly used form of cooking, producing light but flavourful dishes such as fish steamed with sour plums. Other Teochew classics are braised goose, steamed crayfish and, at hawker stalls, mee pok – a spicy dish of flat noodles with round fishball dumplings. Beijing The sumptuous presentation of Beijing cuisine reflects that city's opulent past as the seat of emperors. Meat dominates, typically flavoured with garlic and spring onions, though the dish for which Beijing is most famous is roast duck, served in three courses: the skin is eaten in a pancake filled with spring onion and radish, and smeared with plum sauce. Sichuan Sichuan (or Szechuan) food is famously spicy and greasy, with chilli, pepper, garlic and ginger conspiring to piquant effect in classic dishes such as camphor-and-tea-smoked duck and chicken with dried chilli. One of the most common offerings in this vein in Singapore is the hotpot, akin to a fondue; you order raw ingredients, such as slices of meat and fish, and cook them at your table in a pot of boiling stock.

Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock Spray SPF 50 Reviews
Surprisingly effectiveI have been a die hard fan of Neutrogena's sunblocks for years. They first impressed me with their "dry touch" lotion, but over the years I have really fallen in love with the sprays. These are so much easier to use and apply evenly, in my opinion, than a lotion in a squeeze tube. This one for use on wet skin is truly the best. My husband and I packed several cans of this to use on our honeymoon i...read moren Punta Cana. We are both fair skinned and knew we'd be spending a lot of time at the beach and next to the pool so we needed something reliable and you know what? Neither of us got a sunburn in the entire week and a half we were there. I was skeptical of the SPF 50 because I usually prefer 75 or higher (I've read the research but I like to play it safe) but this truly was just as effective as any higher SPF sunscreen I've ever used, if not more. It's just so handy! We would apply to dry skin before we left the room, but we could also reapply on wet skin after a dip in the pool or the ocean--either way it protected us perfectly every time. I highly recommend this and will always, always buy it. — 1 year, 6 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

LoveLove this sunscreen as well as their other sunscreens. I won't even look for another sunscreen. I too am a diehard fan of their products. For sunscreen that is for sure. I don't have to worry about being dry when I apply. I even spray on my hands then wipe on my neck, back of neck and face. Never runs into eyes to sting and is effective. — 8 months, 1 week agocapecorona | 127 reviews

I was watching Investigation Discovery and I came across this very interesting, somewhat pathetic and truly tragic story. It was a story of a Mandingo Party gone wrong. You all know about my theories about mandingo parties, swinger parties. If you havent' read my other posts on this subject, please do so I've always thought that going to a perfect strangers house and sleeping with someone's wife or allowing another man to sleep with your wife right in front of you was asking for trouble. I had assumed that if it hadn't happened already sooner or later someone would end up dead.
Anyway, that is exactly what happened in the story of Joan Shannon. Joan Shannon was a housewife who was married to a military man named Dave Shannon who raised her four children in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She and her husband, outwardly, appeared normal. However, when Joan goes to a "Swinger party," and meets a Black man named Jeffrey, things take a turn for the worst. Joan's husband, had arranged for his wife to meet up with the Black man Jeffrey at a swinger party because well…Joan had a thing for Black men or what they sadly call in the swinger community BBC…and no that doesn't stand for Brtish Broadcasting corporation. We all know here on this blog how Black men's penis have been made into a fetish for white folks at Mandingo Parties. So anyway, Joan has sex with Jeffrey at the Swinger party. Her husband watches the escapade and soon the sexual encounter progresses to gang sex…3 or 4 guys sleeping with Joan, while her husband watches. Joan's husband is okay with this as long as there is no emotional attachment and Joan doesn't go behind her husband's back. He even video tapes her sexual escapades and keeps them for his own "use."
But, soon unpredictably …(sarcasm intended) Joan starts seeing Jeffrey behind her husbands back and they begin having sex 3-4 times a week without her husband's knowledge and soon the sexual relationship (for Joan) becomes emotional. She no longer has interest in her husband and even refuses to have sex with him at all. When Joan stays out all night, without her husband's knowledge, he begins to suspect that she is seeing Jeff behind his back and tells his wife to end not only the relationship with Jeff, but to STOP the swinger life, which he had originally encouraged, altogether.
Joan Shannon refuses to stop and begins to resent her husband for standing inbetween her and her supposed "lover." So long story short, Joan Shannon, who had become so wrapped up in her sex addiction/swinger lifestyle that she ignored her children, coerces her 15 year old daughter to murder her husband. The 15-year old shoots the father, while he sleeps beside Joan in bed one night. It was a desperate attempt to gain the affection and love of her mother, who had ignored the teen all her life.
When the police are called to the scene, JOan puts on an act of a distraught wife who claims that her husband was shot by a burglar…but there is one problem. There is no sign of forced entry and no blood on Joan at all. Finally, Joan seemed unemotional even apathetic when she was questioned about her husband's murder by the police. Soon the police discover pornographic tapes of Joan and her many many men from the swinger parties, including Jeffrey. When Jeffrey is questioned, he tells the police that he had no love for Joan, he was only in the relationship for sex, he had no intention of leaving his own wife and children and that he had nothing to do with the murder.
His alibi is that he was at work that night, which he was and he checks out. Soon it's discovered that Joan orchestrated the whole murder and she is sentenced to life in prison.
The moral of the story is…don't go around sleeping with married men and women and think you're going to get away with it, you'll pay for it someday somehow.
The next moral of the story is this, white men who like to be cuckolded be careful what you wish for, don't encourage your wife to go around sleeping with other men under the false sense of security that she'll never fall in love and be unwaveringly loyal to you.
Don't murder your husband just so you can have an affair when the man doesn't even really like you. Just divorce your husband and hold your own if you want to screw around with Black men so badly. Why torment your family and spouse…just leave.
Black men, don't be stupid and allow yourselves to be pawns in a dysfunctional relationship…well actually you're probably dysfunctional too if you're consenting to being a part of that environment…so nevermind.
It's a tragic story all around.
Basically the story is of Joan Shannon, the mother of the year who sent her own daughter to prison for her own narcisstic, sex-addicted, dumb self. She is now rotting in prison for life. Was it really worth it, boo boo? All that just to fufill some racist-erotic fantasy…ruined so many lives…
hmmmph. just sad

Finebaum shows true colors
I find Paul Finebaum's musings usually interesting and at times provocative. However, his column on Urban Meyer was simply mean-spirited. Shame on you, Paul.
Finebaum not consistent
I see where Finebaum doesn't believe anything Urban Meyer says. I wonder if three years ago he believed Nick Saban when he said he wasn't going to be the next coach at Alabama, since Saban is his hero after all.
More things to life than Saban
Can't the Press-Register talk about anyone else other than Nick Saban? I so sick of hearing about Nick Saban. He is not by far the best coach that ever coached. He won a national championship. Big deal.
Finebaum scared of Meyer
I know why Paul Finebaum is calling Urban Meyer Flipper and doesn't trust him any more. It's because he's scared that Urban and his soon-to-be No.1 recruiting class will take the national title away from his beloved Nick Saban and the Tide. As long as Urban is there, there is always someone to beat them.
Auburn fans full of envy
As an Alabama fan, I want to tell you Auburn fans that I have one word for you -- envious. That word fits you to a T. You're just envious of Alabama's football program. You're envious of our coach's success. Every comment you make is laced with envy.
You might be a redneck if ...
Now that the Tide has won the national championship, and if the Saints win the Super Bowl, all we'll need is Junior to win the NASCAR Cup Series and we'll have a redneck trifecta.
Congrats to Saints
To quote Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints: Who Dat? Everyone is very proud of the Saints. Now they need to focus on not just being in the Super Bowl, focus on winning the Super Bowl. God bless you on a job well done.
Scouts have been wrong
I would like to ask a question. Are all these alleged professional coaches and scouts and others who are evaluating Tim Tebow, saying he won't make it in the NFL, the same experts who said JaMarcus Russell was a sure thing?
Favre threw the game?
To all these people who are upset about the way the game was called Sunday night when the Saints played the Vikings: Do any one of you realize that Brett Favre grew up in Mississippi, 40 miles from where the New Orleans Saints play their home games? He's a Saints fan. Look at it this way. Maybe Brett threw the game.

I've totally got a new favorite band, but I'll get to that later!
While departing from Atlanta, Niki and I realized that we had been swindled. After we went for a swim in the pool, we left our wet clothes outside to let them dry. Unfortunately, our pool clothes were stolen in the night. So, if you see a sneak-thief wearing a Social Distortion t-shirt and/or women's shorts and underwear, feel free to destroy their very being! Go forward, SF Army.
The drive to Indiana was about 6 hours, and I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. The cliffs that shouldered the freeways, the fallen boulders, and the green mountain ranges were as abundant as in Northern California. If you've ever driven through that part of the country, you'd understand why there are so many environmentalists there. Who wouldn't want to preserve that landscape?
Also, why can't Houston have mountains? Damn.
After arriving at the venue and meeting Be My Doppelganger, we enjoyed our first, actual meal of the day. Bear in mind that it was already 6 p.m. I was excited to finally meet Matt of BMD because he and I have been working together to release the next Something Fierce 7″ in October. He runs the label, Bitchin' Riffage Records, and jumped at the idea of doing a vinyl with us after I met him on Myspace. Once again, I found him through Myspace to help book the tour dates, and look at the outcome! He's releasing a 7″ for us. Myspace can be useful.
Now, let me go on record and say that Be My Doppelganger are some of the coolest people I've ever met. They are down to earth, hilarious, talented people, and although the show was on a Tuesday night and one of the bands dropped off last night, WE HAD A BLAST. I can't even explain how happy I am to know that we'll have another date with them in Memphis.
The night finally ended with a trip to Wal-Mart, due to our recently stolen clothes, the already famous "Wal-Mart Ice Cream Giveaway," and a lot of hanging out and good conversation. These are the nights that keep us going.

The British Fleet Air Arm in World War IIby Stephen Walsh Mark Barber
This is a concise history of the Royal Navy's air arm during World War II (1939-1945), from the Arctic convoys, to the battle for Malta, to the last raids on Japan. The contribution of British Naval aviation to the ultimate Allied victory cannot be underestimated. Amazingly the Admiralty only had 406 operational pilots and 8 carriers when war broke out, but a mere 6 years later there were over 3,000 operational pilots and 53 aircraft carriers patrolling the seas in every theater of the war. The author charts the rapid evolution of the Fleet Air Arm during the war years as air power took over the cutting edge of naval warfare from surface battleships. The carriers were in action from the first with actions by HMS Ark Royal and Courageous in September 1939 to the major actions of the carrier force off Japan in the closing days of the war. This book offers a complete overview from recruitment and training to the thrilling accounts of operational successes and failures. Discover some of the most dramatic actions of the war as Royal Navy aces battled against Axis forces scoring both the first and last kills of the war.

RAF Fighter Command Pilotby Graham Turner Mark Barber
The recent 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, combined with the threat of significant cuts to the current RAF, have highlighted the importance of Fighter Command in the early days of World War II once more. The role of the "few", as described by Churchill, during the Battle of Britain has been the subject of much mythologizing both at the time and in the years since.This title will put Fighter Command in context; describing the lack of funding and attention which it received during the interwar period, until it was almost too late. The myth of the fighter pilot will be humanized, with first-hand accounts quoted which put nervous but brave human beings from all walks of life in the cockpit, not the fearless, arrogant public school boys who appear in popular fiction. Although the Battle of Britain may not have in itself been the decisive encounter that it has historically been portrayed as, the moral victory won by the RAF, the victory that proved that Germany could be defeated, was just as important as a military-strategic victory.Other aspects of these early days of Fighter Command will also be given a more detailed exploration - the obsolete but tenacious Gladiators over Norway, the Hurricanes in support of the BEF and air cover over Dunkirk. Thus giving a rounded picture of the early years and development of Fighter Command and its pilots.
Royal Naval Air Service Pilot 1914-18by Adam Hook Mark Barber
Osprey's survey of the Royal Naval Air Service pilot during World War I (1914-1918). In 1914 the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps was subsumed into the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). With the bulk of the Royal Flying Corps engaged in France, the aircraft and seaplane pilots of the RNAS protected Britain from the deadly and terrifying Zeppelin menace. In 1915 the RNAS sent aircraft to support the operations in the Dardanelles, and also gave increasing support to the Royal Flying Corps units engaged on the Western Front, conducting reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and artillery spotting, bombing raids, and aerial combat with German pilots. This book explores all of these fascinating areas, and charts the pioneering role of the RNAS in military aviation.
Using Intensive Interaction with a Person with a Social or Communicative Impairmentby Mark Barber Graham Firth
Intensive Interaction is a highly effective approach for communicating and developing social interaction and engagement with difficult-to-reach individuals. This easy-to-use guide steers readers through the practical application of the approach, showing how positive results can best be achieved. The authors explain clearly how to prepare for, carry out and reflect on the use of Intensive Interaction with a client or family member. A multitude of key questions are addressed, including finding the right setting, evaluating progress and disengaging effectively at the end of a session. In the final section they consider some of the wider implications of the approach, such as developing confidence as a practitioner and incorporating Intensive Interaction into long-term care or educational planning. This practical and accessible book is a useful resource for speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, special school or further education teachers, social care professionals and anyone else caring for or working with people with social or communicative impairments.

on August 31, 2012 - 11:26 AM
TAMPA, Fla. - Mitt Romney claimed the Republican nomination for president Thursday, introducing himself to millions of Americans as a can-do executive and warm-hearted family man who's all set to make Barack Obama a one-term president.
"If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore . America, to lift our eyes to a better future," Romney said before a cheering crowd of excited Republicans at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
"That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it. And with your help we will deliver it. Let us begin that future together tonight."
In what is widely viewed as the most important address of his career, the former Massachusetts governor made the case for a smaller and more conservative government that will encourage job creation and reduction of the federal deficit.
"What America needs is jobs," Romney said. "Lots of jobs."
To that end, Romney outlined a five-point economic plan that stressed energy independence, job training and education, free and fair trade, a tight federal budget and the elimination of regulations that hamper small business.
The speech was short on details of Romney's economic plan, but the nominee said he would be able to create 12 million new jobs.
"I am running for president to help create a better future - a future where everyone who wants a job can find one, where no senior fears for the security of their retirement, an America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon," he said.
The speech kicks off what most see as an epic campaign against Obama, who will be formally renominated at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte next week.
And in his speech, Romney wasn't shy about taking the fight directly to the sitting president. "To the majority of Americans who now believe that the future will not be better than the past, I can guarantee you this: if Barack Obama is re-elected, you will be right," he said.
Acknowleding that four years ago, "hope and change had a powerful appeal," he added: "If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama? You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him."
Romney also tried to counter Democratic arguments that, in the words of former GOP chairman Haley Barbour, Romney is "a wealthy plutocrat who's married to a known equestrian."
In the Romney view of Romney, the GOP nominee is someone who succeeded in business through hard work.
"That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story," he said of the private equity firm he started, Bain Capital. "Some of the companies we helped start are names you know," he said, citing Staples and the Sports Authority.
Romney also used the speech to show the more personal side of a candidate who is often criticized for stiffness on the campaign trail and who, polls show, strikes voters as far less likable than Obama.
To counter that impression, Romney described the home he and his wife found in the Mormon church as a young couple. "We had remarkably vibrant and diverse congregations of all walks of life and many who were new to America," he said. "We prayed together, our kids played together and we always stood ready to help each other out in different ways."
Romney's speech capped a truncated three-day convention that aims to give Republicans a boost in a tight presidential race.
Before Romney took the stage, the candidate turned to a "surprise guest" to energize the crowd: tough guy actor Clint Eastwood, who delivered an unscripted routine with an empty chair supposedly occupied by the president.
Eastwood pretended to quiz Obama on a series of unfulfilled promises. "You're getting as bad as [Vice President] Biden," he said, "the intellect of the Democratic Party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it."
While Eastwood whipped up the crowd with his trademark "make my day" mantra, he received his loudest response by suggesting the current occupant of the White House should be replaced. "When someone does not do the job," he said, "you gotta let him go."
Thursday's grand convention finale did not mark the candidate's first foray into the convention hall. Romney joined his wife, Ann, on Tuesday following her delivery of a speech that received widespread acclaim, and he quietly walked onto the podium Thursday at 4:15 p.m., dressed in a dark suit and familiarizing himself with the Teleprompter as hundreds of surprised conventioneers already in the arena snapped pictures.
Speakers at the Thursday session appeared chosen according to their ability to achieve strategists' goal of introducing their candidate.
The founder of Staples praised Romney from the podium, as did other executives whose companies thrived with Bain Capital's help.
Several former Massachusetts officials who served in Romney's administration, including former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, praised him.
Healey discussed much of Romney's economic plan while governor of Massachusetts. But she also warmly described her former boss in another attempt to positively define him.
"Mitt is a good and honorable man, committed to public service and his country," she said. "On the morning he took the oath of office, his first act was to focus public attention on those in need. We served breakfast to homeless veterans, encouraging volunteerism and acknowledging the special debt we owe to those who sacrifice for our country."
Meanwhile, U.S. Olympians including 1980 champion hockey captain Mike Eruzione stressed Romney's experience as president of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002.
Stars of the Republican Party who also delivered remarks included former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (joined by his wife, Callista), a bitter rival for the GOP presidential nod just a few months ago.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush - an extremely popular political figure in this swing state - delivered a highly anticipated speech in which he veered from the script to defend his brother, Obama's predecessor, President George W. Bush.
"He is a man of integrity, courage and honor and during incredibly challenging times, he kept us safe," he said. "So Mr. President, it is about time to stop blaming your predecessor for your failed economic policies. .?.?. In the fourth year of your presidency, a real leader would accept responsibility for his actions, and you haven't done it."
Another Floridian, Sen. Marco Rubio, introduced Romney for the central address of the evening in another gesture to the Sunshine State.
Rubio devoted much of his remarks to criticizing Obama as a "bad president," quipping that "hope and change" has become "divide and conquer." He said Romney offers a profound change. "Mitt Romney believes that if we succeed in changing the direction of our country, our children and grandchildren will be the most prosperous generation ever, and their achievements will astonish the world," he said.
After the traditional acknowledgement to the crowd by the nominees and their wives amid a cascade of balloons and confetti, the convention ended, and Romney planned to set out on a day of campaigning in Florida and Ohio today.

The Water Gas and Light Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of a plot of land at the west end of Kensington Ct. in Northwest Albany.
The land was purchased for just over $45,000 and will be the future location of a new water tower.
This tower will allow the fire department to provide better fire protection.
Assistant General Manager of Operations, Keith Goodin, said it will also help with water pressure in the area; "the new water tower is needed to have the pressure in Northwest Albany where it should be. The pressure gets lower as things get built, because there's more water usage."
There's no set schedule on when construction will begin but it's expected to be started by next September.

Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene)
Hazard Summary-Created in April 1992; Revised in December 2012
Tetrachloroethylene is widely used for dry-cleaning fabrics and metal degreasing operations. Effects resulting from acute (short term) high-level inhalation exposure of humans to tetrachloroethylene include irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, kidney dysfunction, and neurological effects such as reversible mood and behavioral changes, impairment of coordination, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, and unconsciousness. The primary effects from chronic (long term) inhalation exposure are neurological, including impaired cognitive and motor neurobehavioral performance. Tetrachloroethylene exposure may also cause adverse effects in the kidney, liver, immune system and hematologic system, and on development and reproduction. Studies of people exposed in the workplace have found associations with several types of cancer including bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma. EPA has classified tetrachloroethylene as likely to be carcinogenic to humans.
Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (2), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity and the RfC, oral chronic toxicity and the RfD, and the carcinogenic effects of tetrachloroethylene; and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR's) Toxicological Profile for Tetrachloroethylene. (1)
- Tetrachloroethylene is used for dry cleaning and textile processing, as a chemical intermediate, and for vapor degreasing in metal-cleaning operations. (1)
Sources and Potential Exposure
- Over the past few decades, concentrations of tetrachloroethylene detected in ambient air have declined with reductions in the use of tetrachloroethylene. (2)
- Tetrachloroethylene has also been detected in drinking water supplies from contaminated groundwater sources. (2)
- Occupational exposure to tetrachloroethylene primarily occurs in industries using the chemical (e.g., many dry cleaning facilities) and at industries manufacturing the chemical. New dry cleaning technologies and practices introduced over the past couple of decades result in substantially reduced occupational exposure (1, 2)
Assessing Personal Exposure
- Tetrachloroethylene can be measured in the breath, and breakdown products of tetrachloroethylene can be measured in the blood and urine. (1)
Health Hazard Information
Acute Effects:
- Effects resulting from acute, inhalation exposure of humans to tetrachloroethylene vapors include irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, kidney dysfunction, and at lower concentrations, neurological effects, such as reversible mood and behavioral changes, impairment of coordination, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, and unconciousness. (1, 2)
- Animal studies have reported effects on the liver, kidney, and central nervous system (CNS) from acute inhalation exposure to high levels of tetrachloroethylene. (1, 2)
- Acute animal tests in mice have shown tetrachloroethylene to have low toxicity from inhalation and oral exposure. (1)
Chronic Effects (Noncancer):
- The major effects from chronic inhalation exposure to tetrachloroethylene in humans are neurological effects, including sensory symptoms such as headaches, impairments in cognititve and motor neurobehavioral functioning and color vision decrements. Other effects noted in humans, generally at higher exposures, include liver damage, kidney effects, immune and hematologic effects, and on development and reproduction. (1, 2)
- Animal studies have reported effects on the liver, kidney, and CNS from chronic inhalation exposure to tetrachloroethylene. (1, 2)
- EPA has calculated a Reference Concentration (RfC) of 0.04 milligrams per cubic meter (0.04 mg/m3) based on neurotoxicity in occupationally-exposed adults. The RfC is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a continuous inhalation to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without appreciable risk of deleterious noncancer effects during a lifetime. It is not an estimator of risk but rather a reference point to gauge the potential for effects. At exposures increasingly greater than the RfC, the potential for adverse health effects increases. Lifetime exposure above the RfC does not imply that an adverse effect would necessarily occur. (2)
- The Reference Dose (RfD) for tetrachloroethylene is 0.006 milligrams per kilogram body weight per day (mg/kg/d) based on neurotoxicity in occupationally-exposed adults. The RfD is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily oral exposure to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without appreciable risk of deleterious noncancer effects during a lifetime. It is not a direct estimator of risk, but rather a reference point to gauge the potential for effects. At exposures increasingly greater than the RfD, the potential for adverse health effects increases. Lifetime exposure above the RfD does not imply that an adverse health effect would necessarily occur. (2)
- EPA has medium confidence in both the RfC and RfD values overall. Although EPA's confidence in the evidence of neurotoxicological hazard is high, EPA has medium rather than high confidence in the study estimates they were based on because they were derived from a LOAEL rather than a NOAEL and data were insufficient for dose-response modeling; additionally, the studies focus on occupational subjects and lack data to characterize potential susceptibility and variability across humans. EPA has medium confidence in the database due to limitations in both the available human and animal database (4)
Reproductive/Developmental Effects:
- Some adverse reproductive effects, such as menstrual disorders, altered sperm structure, and reduced fertility, have been reported in studies of workers occupationally exposed to tetrachloroethylene. However, the evidence is inconclusive. (2)
- Some studies of residents exposed to drinking water contaminated with tetrachloroethylene and other solvents during pregnancy suggest an association of tetrachloroethylene exposure with birth defects, however firm conclusions cannot be drawn due to several limitations of these studies. (2)
- Increased fetal resorptions and effects to the fetus have been reported in animals exposed to high levels of tetrachloroethylene by inhalation. (2)
Cancer Risk:
- Studies of dry cleaning workers exposed to tetrachloroethylene have shown associations between exposure to tetrachloroethylene and several types of cancer, specifically bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma. There is also limited evidence suggestive of associations with esophageal, kidney, cervical and breast cancer. (2)
- Animal studies have reported an increased incidence of liver tumors in mice, from inhalation and gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach) exposure, and kidney and mononuclear cell leukemias in rats, via inhalation exposure. (1,2)
- EPA has classified tetrachloroethylene as likely to be carcinogenic to humans by all routes of exposure based on suggestive evidence in epidemiological studies and conclusive evidence in rats (mononuclear cell leukemia) and mice (increased incidence of liver tumors). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified tetrachloroethylene as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).
- EPA uses mathematical models, based on animal or human studies, to estimate the probability of a person developing cancer from breathing air containing a specified concentration of a chemical. EPA calculated an inhalation unit risk estimate of 2.6 × 10-7 (µg/m3)-1. EPA estimates that, if an individual were to continuously breathe air containing tetrachloroethylene at an average of 4 ug/m3 (4 x 10-3 mg/m3) over his or her entire lifetime, that person would theoretically have no more than a one-in-a-million increased chance of developing cancer as a direct result of breathing air containing this chemical. Similarly, EPA estimates that continuously breathing air containing 40 µg/m3 (4 x 10-2 mg/m3) would result in not greater than a one-in-a-hundred thousand increased chance of developing cancer, and air containing 400 µg/m3 (4 x 10-1 mg/m3) would result in not greater than a one-in-ten thousand increased chance of developing cancer. For a detailed discussion of confidence in the potency estimates, please see IRIS.
- EPA calculated an oral cancer slope factor of 0.0021 (mg/kg/d)-1 based on extrapolation from inhalation dose-response data. (2)
Physical Properties
- Tetrachloroethylene is a nonflammable colorless liquid with a sharp sweet odor; the odor threshold is 1 ppm. (1)
- The chemical formula for tetrachloroethylene is C2Cl4, and the molecular weight is 165.83 g/mol. (1)
- The vapor pressure for tetrachloroethylene is 18.47 mm Hg at 25 °C, and it has a log octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow) of 3.40. (1)
Conversion Factors:
To convert concentrations in air (at 25 °C) from ppm to mg/m3: mg/m3 = (ppm) × (molecular weight of the compound)/(24.45). For tetrachloroethylene: 1 ppm = 6.78 mg/m3. To convert concentrations in air from µg/m3 to mg/m3: mg/m3 = (µg/m3) × (1 mg/1,000 µg).
Health Data from Inhalation Exposure
AIHA ERPG - American Industrial Hygiene Association's emergency response planning guidelines. ERPG 1 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed nearly all individuals could be exposed up to one hour without experiencing other than mild transient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined objectionable odor; ERPG 2 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed nearly all individuals could be exposed up to one hour without experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health effects that could impair their abilities to take protective action.
ACGIH TLV - American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists' threshold limit value expressed as a time-weighted average; the concentration of a substance to which most workers can be exposed without adverse effects.
LC50 (Lethal Concentration50) - A calculated concentration of a chemical in air to which exposure for a specific length of time is expected to cause death in 50% of a defined experimental animal population.
LOAEL - Lowest-observed-adverse-effect level.
NIOSH IDLH - National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's immediately dangerous to life or health concentration; NIOSH recommended exposure limit to ensure that a worker can escape from an exposure condition that is likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse health effects or prevent escape from the environment.
ACGIH STEL - American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists' recommended short-term exposure limit; a 15-minute TWA exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a workday.
OSHA PEL - Occupational Safety and Health Administration's permissible exposure limit expressed as a time-weighted average; the concentration of a substance to which most workers can be exposed without adverse effect averaged over a normal 8-h workday or a 40-h workweek.
The health and regulatory values cited in this factsheet were obtained in 2012.
a Health numbers are toxicological numbers from human studies, animal testing or risk assessment values developed by EPA.
b Regulatory numbers are values that have been incorporated in Government regulations, while advisory numbers are nonregulatory values provided by the Government or other groups as advice. OSHA numbers are regulatory, whereas NIOSH, ACGIH, and AIHA numbers are advisory.
c The LOAELs for neurological effects are from the two principal studies on which the RfC is based.

Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins, Mike Green of the Washington Capitals and Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit Red Wings are finalists for the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman.
The league announced the finalists Thursday and the winner will be revealed June 18. Lidstrom is seeking his seventh Norris and fourth in a row.
The 6'9″ defenseman finished with 19 goals and 31 assists for 50 points this season for the B's.
Reaction: It would be great if Chara could grab the award, but it will be hard to unseat Lidstrom. I think it's a nice honor for Chara to be considered, but at this point they might as well rename the award to the "Lidstrom Trophy." Come on Zdeno!

Candidates who find that they will not be able to receive their degree in the semester for which their application was approved must remove their name from the degree list by May 1 for spring graduation, August 1 for summer graduation and December 1 for fall graduation.
Students must be registered during the semester in which they plan to graduate. Before completing the application for the degree, students should check their transcripts for errors, as errors will not be corrected after a degree has been conferred. Please follow the steps below, following the deadline for the desired term of graduation. Please also note that the following are standard requirements and procedures for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Individual departments may maintain additional requirements and procedures.
Step One: Degree Application in SIS
Students must apply for their degrees online in SIS by the deadline for the term in which they plan to graduate:
- Fall - September 30
- Spring- January 31
- Summer - June 30
Doctoral Students applying for a master's degree en route MUST submit the PhD Continuation form to the Enrolled Students Office prior to the degree application due date. GSAS will adjust their records in SIS accordingly.
Step Two: Verify Requirements and UVa Transcripts
Students must verify in SIS that the academic requirements and milestones for their program have been fulfilled. Students are also responsible for verifying the accuracy of their University of Virginia transcripts before degree conferral. Errors identified after graduation will not be corrected.
Step Three: Dissertation Title
Fall - Doctoral students who are graduating in the fall term must submit the title of their dissertation with the final exam form.
Spring - Doctoral students who are graduating in the spring term must submit the titles of their dissertations to their departments by March 15.
Summer - Doctoral students who are graduating in the summer term must submit the title of their dissertation with the final exam form.
Step Four: Final Examination Form
Doctoral and master's students whose degree requires the submission of a thesis must obtain a signed final examination form at the conclusion of their defense, submit this form to their departmental graduate administrator, and proceed with the steps below.
Master's students for whom a thesis is not required must obtain a signed final examination form and submit this form to their departmental graduate administrator or to the GSAS Registrar. No further steps are required for the degree application.
Step Five: Survey of Earned Doctorates
Doctoral students must complete the Survey of Earned Doctorates online in advance of submitting the dissertation.
Step Six: Upload Thesis to Digital Repository
Doctoral and master's students whose degree requires the submission of a thesis must upload the final, approved version of the thesis to the University Library's digital repository, also known as LIBRA, by the following deadlines:
- Fall - November 30
- Spring - April 30
- Summer - July 31
Information regarding the repository, the submission process and copyright law is available through the LIBRA web site. Please note the following:
- The title page of the dissertation should be formatted according to the template approved by GSAS. Signatures of the dissertation committee members should appear only on the final examination form. These signatures should not appear on the title page of the document that is uploaded to LIBRA.
- Students are responsible for ensuring that they upload the final, approved version of their thesis. Documents submitted to LIBRA cannot be deleted or corrected.
- The thesis title submitted to the department in step four above will appear in the LIBRA upload interface. If the title listed in LIBRA does not match the final title of the thesis, the student must stop the upload process and inform his or her departmental graduate administrator of the correct title. The thesis title listed in SIS, LIBRA and the student's transcript should be identical.
LIBRA will accept the thesis as a single PDF document up to 100MB. Students also have the option to upload supplemental files. There are no formatting requirements or restrictions; however, students should adhere to traditional physical standards if they wish to purchase bound copies from Printing and Copying Services.

Ryder Cup fever will take over the Pheasant Trails Golf Course in Dumas beginning Friday.
No, it's not the famed matches between the United States and Europe. Rather, it's a similar format of matches between the towns of Dumas and Dalhart.
Competitors from the towns will play for the fifth time in what has become a weekend of not only fierce competition on the links, but one of fellowship and camaraderie.
"It's a highly competitive atmosphere," said Dumas Ryder Cup captain Larry Riseling. "But as much as anything, it is a time for good fellowship. Players on the teams have become great friends over the years."
In the four previous matches, Dumas has won and tied on its home layout. Dalhart has won each time it has been held there. In all, 24 players compete over three days in matches patterned after the more famous one between the U.S. and its European counterparts.
There is a Ryder Cup team consisting of 12 players representing each city, and a Challenge Cup team featuring the same number of players.
The Friday morning matches feature an alternate shot format, while in the afternoon the format is best ball. They are repeated Saturday before the Sunday conclusion of all singles matches.
Just like the more famous international matches, it takes 1412 points for a team to retain the traveling trophy. A dinner for the players and their spouses is held Saturday at the respective course.
"That has become a real focal point of the weekend," Riseling said. "There is a lot of good-natured kidding that goes on back and forth."
Riseling said the idea for the matches came about six years ago.
"Louis Dubuque, who lives in Dumas, approached me with the idea," he said. "It sounded great, and something that might work. There were a number of people in Dalhart that were clients of ours, so I put it together with Bob Langhorn."
Dumas selects its team each year through a series of challenge matches prior to the actual competition.
"With 24 people involved, we just switch the teams after each year," Riseling said.
"In other words, the 12 players that are on the Ryder Cup team this year will go to the Challenge Team for next year. The main criteria is they have to be members of the Men's Golf Association in Dumas.
"Anyone can challenge anyone else for his particular spot.
"The challenge is a regular 18-hole match between the two. Each challenge match costs $5, and we use that money to pay for shirts, the dinner and supplement the other team's fees at the course."
During the actual matches, 24 players compete during the three days.
There can be a different winner of each, between the Ryder Cup team and the Challenge Team.
"It's something that has become a lot of fun for everyone involved," Riseling said.
As of this week, 12 teams have signed up to play in the 18-hole qualifier for the 52nd Budweiser Partnership on July 17.
Josh Duckworth and Brent Bullard, the tournament's defending champions, are expected to take the No. 1 seed and will not have to qualify.
Two-time winner Kyle Kelting (with Rod Moody in 1998 and 1999) and Codie Scott, who won the Michelob Light Men's City Championship a month ago, are among the early entrants for the qualifier.
Also signed up is Memphis High boys basketball coach Ricky Guy and recent graduate Bobby Hutcherson, who has signed with Midland College.
According to host pro Sherwin Cox, Cameron University again will send three teams to this year's event.
Recent Tascosa High graduate Kent Neal will continue his playing career at McMurry University in Abilene, according to Indians' coach Russ Evans.
Neal was a four-year letterman for the Rebels, and this year qualified for the Class 5A regional tournament.
He was his team's most valuable player the last two seasons.
An honor graduate at Tascosa, Neal plans to study pre-dentistry at McMurry.

Speaking at his office after two months in rehad, Mayor Rob Ford says he is "resolved" to the stay in the mayoral race.
In a speech that lasted about 15 minutes, Ford emotionally apologized for his "poor judgment" and said he takes full responsibility for his actions.
"I am ashamed, embarassed, and humiliated," he said of his "mistakes," his actions while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Ford says this will be a long road to recovery.
"I will keep battling this disease for the rest of my life."
The mayor says he will continue to seek help for his substance abuse problems.
"And with your support, I'm also resolved to continue to work harder than ever for the taxpayers of this great city."
He has spent the last two months at a rehab facility in the Muskoka area. While there, it looks likes mayor Ford lost some weight.
Newstalk 1010 psychology expert Dr Oren Amitay says the mayor's stay at the treatment centre is just the first step in his recovery and it is unclear at this time whether two months was enough for him.
"It really depends on what he did in rehab, how much work he really put into it," Dr Amitay says. "[You] have to be in that state of mind to say, 'I'm truly ready to change.' "
Dr Amitay says the mayor's success out of rehab also depends on what kind of support he has once he is back at work.
"Will he have the wherewithal to make sure that he gets rid of the kinds of people who were harming him before or who were allowing him to harm himself? Or is he going to fall back on old patterns? That's really the question."
Ford has also sent out invitations for city councillors to meet with him in is office after his statement.
Many councillors say they won't be there, among them John Parker who was on Newstalk 1010's Moore in the Morning saying there isn't much point "being the backdrop for what is probably another Rob Ford publicity stunt."
Here is mayor Ford's full statement:
I stand before you today having completed two months of intensive rehab therapy at GreenStone residential addiction facility.
For a long time I resisted the idea of getting help.
Like a lot of people dealing with substance abuse, I was in complete denial.
I had convinced myself that I did not have a problem.
But it soon became obvious that my alcohol and drug use was having a serious impact on my family, on my health, and on my job as Mayor.
After experiencing some of the darkest moments in my life, I decided that enough was enough.
I had become my own worst enemy.
I knew it was time to take action. It was time to get help.
This is a decision that will change my life forever.
At GreenStone, I worked with a professional team of dedicated doctors, nurses, counsellors and trainers.
I underwent hundreds of hours of intensive therapy.
I now know that the staff at GreenStone saved my life.
They forced me to confront my personal demons.
I learned about things like triggers and what happens when you have cravings.
I learned that my addiction is really a disease, a chronic medical condition that will require treatment for the rest of my life.
And I also learned that I'm not alone.
That this disease touches many lives.
It affects people from all walks of life. And we all know someone who has suffered from this terrible disease.
At GreenStone, I met others, who like me, have struggled with the impacts of their substance abuse.
Listening to their stories gave me strength and helped me deal with my own mistakes.
Thanks to my treatment, I can proudly say today that I have begun the process of taking back control of my life.
But it is a long road to recovery.
And no matter what I do, I will never be able to change the mistakes I have made.
When I look back on some of the things I have said, some of the things I did under the influence, I'm ashamed, embarrassed and humiliated.
I was wrong, and I have no one to blame but myself.
I want to apologize, not just to the people of Toronto but to everyone who was hurt by my words and my actions.
It was never my intention to embarrass the city or offend my fellow members of council.
I deeply regret some of the personal choices I have made.
I now realize that I was blind to the dangers of some of the company I kept. And those associations have ended.
My commitment to living clean is now unwavering.
To the people of this great city, I want to offer a public apology.
I used poor judgment, and I take full responsibility for my actions.
At GreenStone I accepted that in my position, I am held to a higher standard.
To my family and to all those who stood by me during these extremely difficult times…thank you for giving me another chance.
To my fellow councillors, and especially to Karen Stintz, for my hurtful and degrading remarks, I offer a deep felt apology for my behaviour.
To the media, I want to thank you for giving me and the residents at GreenStone the privacy we needed.
But I am not asking you for forgiveness.
I accept full responsibility for what I have done.
Thankfully, we live in a civilized society.
A society that realizes that people make mistakes.
That some people need help, and those who seek out that help can be given another chance.
Substance abuse is a very difficult thing to overcome, but I will keep battling this disease for the rest of my life.
I will continue to receive ongoing professional treatment for my substance abuse problem.
I am determined to make myself the best person I can be, for my family and for the people of Toronto.
And with your support, I am also resolved to continue to work harder than ever for the taxpayers of this great City.
While I know it's just the beginning of my personal journey, my resolve as your Mayor has not changed.
We've accomplished a lot together.
When I was first elected in 2010, I promised to stop the gravy train.
And that's exactly what I have done.
We've moved away from the tax and spend ways of the past and changed the culture at City Hall.
We have reduced the size and cost of government.
And we have saved the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
The days of transit strikes and garbage strikes are now over.
We've made the TTC an essential service.
And we have contracted out garbage collection, saving you 80 million dollars, while improving service delivery.
I am keeping the City of Toronto accountable to you, the taxpayer.
They said I couldn't work with the unions…
Well, I proved them wrong by achieving historic labour deals.
Deals that are fair to the taxpayer and to our frontline workers.
And most importantly, we have brought all three levels of government together to build new subways to Scarborough.
We have come a long way, and despite my personal struggles, I am extremely proud of my public record.
Toronto's economy is booming, we are creating jobs, and building our City.
We have a beautiful, clean safe city that is one of the greatest places in the world to live and do business.
But there's still much more to accomplish.
I plan to continue fighting for the taxpayers of Toronto.
But over the coming months my top priority will be rebuilding trust with the public and my fellow members of Council.
Again, I want to thank the amazing staff at GreenStone for giving me the power to change my life.
And I want to thank the people of Toronto for their understanding and continued support during this very difficult time.
I look forward to serving you for many years to come.

HOUSTON (AP) - As part of a review initiated after an independent audit uncovered widespread problems at the Houston police lab, the Harris County district attorney's office has identified 20 more cases in which DNA evidence will be retested.
Friday's list includes the death penalty case of Kerry DiMart Allen, convicted of the 2000 rape and murder of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter. It also includes evidence used to convict Ray Lee Gilstrap of shooting two Houston police officers, for which he is serving 50 years.
That brings the total number of cases prosecutors have identified to 62, including 17 death row inmates, the Houston Chronicle reports in its Saturday editions.
A two-day audit conducted in December exposed deficiencies, including improper technique, poorly trained personnel and low-grade facilities that could create prompt evidence contamination. The department has since shut down the lab and is expected to announce its long-term plans for the facility before the end of the month.
To date, retesting has been completed on only one case, that of Josiah Sutton. He was released from prison March 12 after a new DNA test found that he could not have committed a 1998 rape.

What is a cloak
Some IRC networks like freenode provide users with a cloak. A cloak is a fake host. The primary goal is to hide your real host from normal users. To get one, register your nickname and ask for a cloak in the #freenode IRC channel. Then, at each reconnection to freenode, identify yourself to NickServ to apply the cloak.
The problem
There is a big flaw, you must be succesfully identified before a user issue the /whois command. Otherwise he will see your real host.
The solution
To fix this problem, you can use SASL to identify to service before being viewable by others.
Some IRC network provide username registration and cloak but do not provide SASL. This is the case of the Undernet IRC network. In such case, you will have to script something.
Here is my way on Undernet :
- Automatically change your nickname to a random one at each start and disconnection of the client.
- Automatically change your ident to a random one at each start and disconnection of the client.
- Only join channel when you receive the message : yourid.users.undernet.org is now your hidden host
Now the users can't /whois yournick or /who *yourident*. However they can /who *yourhost* before the server give you the mode +i. However nobody has seen your host yet so it should be ok.
Other way to hide your host than cloak
You can also use tor on some IRC network, But those are rares. You can use a proxy or an IRC bouncer. Or use a combination of tmux/irssi or tmux/weechat on a remote host.
Enjoy !

Greetings, LBV! I'm not sure if it's precisely what they're bottling now - I bought it a year or eighteen months ago, from a discounter. But I bought it new then, so it's definitely not one of the two major earlier versions.

Re DSH Tubereuse: wonder if that slightly-uncomfortable topnote that you're reading as "gasoline" is what I'm reading as "the Tang Dust in the back of the throat Effect"?

Hey, Mals! Freaky, isn't it? They're jelly babies, the favorite snack of Dr. Who. I had no idea that they were so, well, disturbing looking.
Hmmm. Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if they're the same thing. Except I _like_ the gasoline, and the Tang dust doesn't sound pleasant?
