I have a function in matlab.For ex,
%function [mean std]=size(data,channel)
i set data's filename=ET1_A(imported to workspace alrdy) and channel=2 (total no.channel=63), to find the mean and std of selected data(ET1_A),and I want to save the statistical feature into .mat form in the workspace as shown in below:
%savefile='ET1_A_stat.mat'; save(savefile,'mean','std')
However,if i choose another data like ET1_B,I need to change my code manually like: %savefile='ET1_B_stat.mat'; save(savefile,'mean','std')
Is there any good idea of using MATLAB's efficient code to change the filename automatically nicely?
Don't use size() for the name of your function or you'll blow away the built in size() function.
savefile=sprintf('%s_Channel%d.mat',data,channel); % savefilename='savefile.mat' % save(savefilename) save(savefile)
let says the matrix ET1_A_l1=[1;2;1;3;1;4],channel=1 i run your code and the save file name is '1_Channel12_Channel13_Channel14.mat',how to make the data can be named to be ET1_A_l1??
DO you have a variable which would have the string 'ET1_A_I1' stored in it at that point? If you are loading files in a loop, then how did you figure out which file to load?

Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced the widespread protests against him as the work of extremists. He said on Monday that he expects they will subside soon, according to Bloomberg.com.
He believes the protests were organized by political rivals, and said the wave of violence is not comparable to the Arab Spring.
Turkish intelligence is looking into possible links between the protests and "foreign powers".
According to Wired, Erdogan claimed social media is largely to blame for the protests.
He said, "There is now a menace which is called Twitter. The best examples of lies can be found there. To me, social media is the worst menace to society."
The violence erupted last Friday, May 31, when police used tear gas against a group protesting redevelopment of a park in Istanbul's Taksim Square.
The protests quickly became a larger anti-government movement. Demonstrators believe Erdogan is trying to take away freedoms, and accuse him of governing in an Islamist-rooted, autocratic manner.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged the Turkish government to use restraint when dealing with protesters, and emphasized America's support for peaceful protests.
BBC reports that protesters remain committed to their cause despite days of alleged police brutality.
Among reports of oppression and intrusion upon freedom of speech and expression come allegations of corruption in the education system.
One 18-year-old student said, "In the exams there are lot of fake points for the supporters of the government. If you support this government, you can pass the exam."
The government and the protesters have at least one thing in common, however. They both say the other side refuses to listen.
The Week describes the crowd of protesters as a diverse and multicultural group:
"Turkish flags bearing the image of founding father Atataturk are not far from Kurdish Party banners; and...the familiar rainbow flag of Gay Pride marching safely and confidently through the middle of a cheering crowd."
The author of the article, Ben Pomeroy, says that this fight is about both large scale issues, like freedom of speech and democracy, and smaller freedoms and pleasures like what kinds of movies Turks can see and the freedom to consume alcohol.
Pomeroy reports the protesters are primarily young people.
The violent nature of the protests has sparked concern around the world. On Monday, Syracuse University prematurely ended it's semester abroad in Istanbul, and urged all 20 of its students enrolled in the program to avoid the protests until they can leave the country.
Do you have any thoughts on the protests in Istanbul? Leave your comments below.

Delicious cured salmon appetiser.
- 450 g middle cut (if possible) fresh salmon
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 2 tblsp chopped parsley and chives, mixed
- 1 tblsp granulated sugar
- 1 tblsp sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 tblsp chopped dill, parsley and chives, mixed
- lemon slices to garnish
- 3 tblsp dark french or german mustard
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 2 tblsp caster sugar
- 4 g (or 5) olive oil
- Split the salmon lengthways and remove all the bones (or ask the fishmonger to do this).
- Mix the two mustards to a paste with the sugar and vinegar. Gradually beat in the oil to make a thick, vinaigrette-type sauce.
- To serve: remove the gravlax from the marinade and herbs, separate the two halves and pat them dry.
- Stir in the chopped herbs and a little of the juices from the gravlax.
- Place skin side down on a board, and garnish with lemon slices.
- Cut the gravlax in thin diagonal slices (as you would for smoked salmon) and serve with the mustard sauce.
- Wipe and dry the fish and place one half, skin side down, in a deep dish.
- Wash the dill and place it on top, then sprinkle over the chopped herbs, the sugar, salt and pepper.
- Place the other half of the salmon on top, skin side up.
- Cover it with foil and another plate then put heavy weights on top and leave it in a cool place for 48 hours.
- During this time, occasionally baste the fish inside and out with the liquid that gathers in the dish.
- If the weather is very hot, marinate the gravlax in the bottom of the refrigerator.

In Depth: NFL Leaders Come From Carroll
Legendary Miami Dolphins coach, Don Shula, is a proud 1951 John Carroll University graduate and has the most wins of any coach in the history of the National Football League.
Since then, more Blue Streaks have been in leadership positions in the National Football League both on and off of the field, including Josh McDaniels '99, Nick Caserio '98, London Fletcher '97, and Greg Roman '95 (just to name a few).
Their road to success in the NFL began by earning a degree at Carroll, and the sports media world is taking notice:

CLEVELAND, Ohio – This week's playlist includes Miranda Lambert's "Platinum," Nicki Minaj's new single "Pills N Potions" and "Mario Kart 8."
Miranda Lambert's new album, "Platinum," finds the country star a little less angry and a little more focused on crafting pop savvy country tunes. Longtime fans shouldn't worry. There's plenty of vintage Lambert ("Little Red Wagon") to go along with catchy songs like "Automatic" and the Carrie Underwood duet "Somethin' Bad." "Platinum" arrives on June 3, but is already streaming at MTV.com.
"Mario Kart 8"
The Wii U system may be a step or two behind its competitors (Xbox One and PlayStation 4), but that could change with "Mario Kart 8" (out May 30). The latest edition of Nintendo's flagship game features all new courses, your favorite characters, enhanced graphics and, most importantly, a revamped online system that makes it a must-own.
"Pills N Potions"
The lead single from Nicki Minaj's forthcoming album "The Pink Print" is an instant classic. "Pills N Potions" features a thumping drumbeat, Minaj's sultry vocals and a catchy hook about a love addiction. The song may not be heavy on Minaj's hard rhymes, but "Pills N Potions" is a great R&B/pop song that ranks as one of Minaj's best singles to date.
The trailer for Denzel Washington's new film "The Equalizer" has hit the web. Washington, still doing intensity better than anyone, reunites with director Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day") for the chilling thriller that arrives in September.
The new album from hardcore punk band F'd Up, "Glass Boys," is streaming over at Pitchfork Advance. The Toronto band remains one of the most compelling acts in rock music, even if most people haven't heard of them.

This error will commonly occur when an update has been released to a game through Steam and the server administrator has not yet updated the dedicated server which you are attempting to connect to.
The best solution would be to connect to advise the server administrator to update the dedicated server (if contact information is available) and connect to another server until the updates have been applied.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Alabama - Authorities have identified a man killed earlier today in a collision with an 18-wheeler on Interstate 65 near Warrior.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Michael Wayne Marsh, 47. Marsh was from Hayden.
The crash happened at 4:15 a.m. on I-65 southbound at Exit 280. An 18-wheeler and another vehicle, Marsh's 1998 Jeep Wrangler, were involved in the accident in the southbound lanes of the interstate just south of Warrior Jasper Road.
Authorities said it appears both vehicles were traveling in the same direction. The 18-wheeler jackknifed, and shut down the on-ramp to I-65 at that exit.
Marsh was pronounced dead on the scene at 4:52 a.m., said Deputy Coroner Phillip Russell. The driver of the 18-wheeler was taken to the hospital. His name and condition haven't been released.
The accident is being investigated by the Alabama State Troopers. Authorities this afternoon said they still don't know specifics of what led to the crash.

A plan to extend a tax break provided last year to the Iowa Speedway at Newton has moved forward in the Iowa House.
The proposal received preliminary approval Wednesday from a House Ways and Means subcommittee. It will now be subject to committee-level review.
The racetrack in Newton receives a state sales tax rebate under current law, but the rebate is limited to sales occurring before January 1, 2016. The proposal seeks to extend the rebate by 10 years to sales occurring before January 1, 2026.
Racetrack officials say the tax break extension is needed not only to grow auto racing in Newton, but also to shine a spotlight on what central Iowa has to offer.
The Iowa Speedway, which opened in 2006, was bought by NASCAR last year.

I don't remember why we had lunch with Saif Gaddafi. The invitation came through an intermediary about five years ago. It was him and a friend and Joe and me. We met at an old hotel in Rome and lunched in the rather formal dining room. He and Joe talked for a couple of hours about economic development and some of the different possibilities for a country like Libya. Nothing too exciting — irrigation and credit, the need to spend money on education, share the oil wealth, create jobs. He invited us to visit and someone from the Qaddafi Development Foundation followed up a few months later.

from The Great Debate:
Does everyone have a price?
On Monday I went to Bloomingdales, the Gap and Starbucks but passed on a visit to Magnolia Bakery. Instead I stopped by the St. Moritz bakery where you can order hot chocolate and sit by a video of a cozy winter fire that overlooks the indoor ski slope and is just around the corner from the largest candy store in the world, which happens to face an aquarium that occupies an entire wall on one side of the world's largest shopping malls. This by the way is opposite of what claims to be the world's largest candystore whose mission statement is to make every day "happier'. Earlier, while exploring the watery depths of the bright Pink Atlantis Hotel (one of the white elephants of the property crash of 2007) I knew it was really the last kingdom because the fish swam around two cracked thrones and other kitschy stone artifacts.

Two second movie reviews
June 25, 2009 - Bennet Goldstein
I'm no Roger Ebert but I have rented my share of movies lately. Here are some quick reviews: DOUBT- Great performances, pretty good story, worth a rent. VALKYRIE - Gripping story, got into after I was able to accept Germans talking English. HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU - Expected better with the star-studded cast but still kept me involved and is barely worth a rent. I've been told by friends I need to see THE HANGOVER. One friend said he's never seen so many people rolling in the aisles with laughter in the theater. Hopefully I can report back on that one, if I ever make it out of the house.

Keystone, (Dillon) Colorado
The Keystone Resort & Conference Center is the site of Pipelines Conference 2010.

Being in a family-friendly resort town, Keystone is the perfect Colorado Vacation for everyone. The street address is 22010 US-6E, Dillon, CO 80435.

Health Tips: The mountains of Colorado are among the most beautiful parts of the United States and we hope you enjoy every minute of your visit. However, some of the very features which make this area so attractive may also cause you problems, unless you are able to recognize the symptoms and know how to prevent them. Many health effects of high altitude can be prevented by doing a few things ahead of time.
Altitude Issues in Keystone
Above 8,000 feet, altitude illness affects 20 to 30 percent of visitors from low elevations to some degree. The first thing most people notice is a shortness of breath, especially when exercising. In addition, the heart is likely to beat faster and one may develop nausea, fatigue, headache, or have difficulty sleeping. If you develop one or more of these symptoms, you may have Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). If these symptoms do not subside within a day or two, consult a doctor.
Weather: Keystone is located in the Colorado Rockies at about 9,000 ft. elevation. The weather can be quite variable. By late August, most of the stormy summer weather is gone and days are typically sunny to partly cloudy with highs in the 60s and 70s. Temperatures drop off quickly after sundown and can get into the 40s and 50s by early evening.

CHICAGO -- He hasn't had much to say in the last couple months. A statement or two. Maybe there hasn't been a lot of time.
But Penn State acting athletic director David Joyner found time, about 30 minutes worth of it, for the PSU media Friday morning during the Big Ten meetings here.
Joyner, the former Nittany Lions' football All-American and a co-captain on the late Joe Paterno's 1971 team, discussed first-year coach Bill O'Brien's automatic extension in light of the heavy sanctions imposed by the NCAA on PSU's football program.
He admitted the athletic department is revisiting the Lions' controversial STEP ticket program.
He discussed his reaction to the NCAA sanctions.
And, sort of good news here, it looks like Penn State and Wisconsin's annual late-season game will be played for stakes -- a trophy.
Joyner is an orthopedic surgeon. His reaction to the NCAA's ruling of a four-year postseason ban, a reduction of 40 scholarships over four years and a $60 million fine, was cloaked in terms only a doctor could appreciate.
"It's sort of like, you know you've got something going on and you're waiting for the diagnosis and the treatment from, you know, the physician,'' Joyner said.
"And you find out it's a diagnosis and treatment that's, you know, pretty difficult for you to come to grips with. But you know what? Once you know what it is, you've got to move forward and keep going.''
Joyner added: "The bad thing you know is much better than the bad thing you don't know.''
Joyner tip-toed around many questions concerning the NCAA and its power to penalize PSU. But he did say the sooner Penn State found out, the better for the university.
"In the large sense, would you wish for … obviously, you'd like something as easy as you can have it,'' Joyner said.
"However, I think it's very positive that we get this out now. I think probably -- and I can't speak for [NCAA] president [Mark] Emmert -- but I think it's probably fair to say they wanted to get this done.
"So we can get it over with before the season starts. From our standpoint, imagine what this would be like the week that [preseason] practice started [in early August]. So I think there was some, obviously, need for speed.
"I mean, I'm glad it's done. If it had to be fast, I don't think it was careless. I think it was rapid but it wasn't careless.''
The NCAA sanctions triggered an extension for O'Brien, the head coach admitted earlier this week. According to The Centre Daily Times, O'Brien's five-year contract becomes a nine-year deal, with the Lions adding a year for each year of the postseason ban.
Joyner said he wasn't certain but he thought the addendum to O'Brien's contract was the coach's idea.
"I think it was a wise move, both on his part and our part,'' said Joyner, an offensive tackle at PSU. He was also an All-American wrestler in college.
"We didn't' know back in January, end of December, how all this was going to play out,'' Joyner added.
"And so I'm very happy that we did that [addendum] back then, and I'm sure he is. That let's him do what he has to do in these next four years and I think he's the right guy at the right time to do that.''
Penn State's STEP program (Seat Transfer and Equity Plan) might be tweaked, according to Joyner. Many Nittany Lion Club season-ticket holders are unhappy with the plan. To relocate or upgrade seats, a season-ticket holder is expected to make a monetary donation. The better the seat, the more sizable the donation.
Said Joyner: "We've actually talked to some alums and some of them who have ideas about it and we're listening to them. It was our intention to take a very long look at the STEP program. We didn't have enough time this year the way things unfolded.
"It's been my intention to re-look at the STEP program for the next season [2013]. Now will re-look at the STEP program based on what we know the world is right now. So I don't know what we'll do, if anything, but we'll re-look at it.''
Joyner said he is in talks with Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez to award a trophy to the winner of the annual PSU-Badgers contest. This year's game, PSU's final 2012 contest with the bowl ban, is Nov. 24 at Beaver Stadium.
"We're going to have a trophy for that game,'' Joyner said.
"We're very similar backgrounds, you know, blue-collar kind of football schools. There's a lot of commonality.''
And will Joyner ever see the "acting" designation removed from his AD title? Will it become a long-term gig?
"I expect to finish today, God willing,'' Joyner joked.
"I've said it before and I say it again: I'm here at the behest of [Penn State president] Dr. [Rodney] Erickson. As long as he wants me, I'm here.''

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- My marching orders were clear: don't come home without souvenirs.
And not just any souvenirs, but ones bought at the stadium on the day of the game.
So, after taking a deep breath, I plunged into the bedlam inside University of Phoenix Stadium, fought my way to the front of the souvenir stand, waved a credit card, and, trying to make myself heard over the constant bellows of "Let's Go Ducks!" I added $155 to my Visa balance.
Will my youngest son and daughter, my three grandchildren and my wife appreciate this?
Well, my daughter wanted a v-neck sweatshirt, and they didn't have any of those.
So, Courtney, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. I hope you like the t-shirt.
Now, let's get this game going, OK?

AKRON, Ohio – Former construction company executive Steven Pumper was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in a federal prison, and ordered to pay $2 million in restitution as punishment for a multitude of crimes linked to the Cuyahoga County corruption case.
U.S. District Court Judge Sara Lioi said she considered Pumper's cooperation with federal authorities and his testimony in three other county corruption cases, including the trial of ex-County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora.
But she also took into account Pumper's multiple attempts to obstruct justice, the huge amount of losses linked to his bribery schemes, and the damage to public confidence in county government his corruption caused.
"Sadly, you were living in a community where the government was more than receptive to your conduct in a pay-to-play culture," Lioi told Pumper.
Lioi agreed to recommend Pumper serve his time at the federal prison in Morgantown, W. Va., and that he be allowed to receive treatment for alcohol abuse.
Pumper apologized to his many victims, to the FBI, and his family.
"Everything I have done, it's all my fault," Pumper told the judge. "At the end of the day, I have no one to blame but myself."
Pumper was one of Dimora's most generous corrupters, and one of the first defendants to cooperate with the FBI in what would become the largest public-corruption investigation in county history. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to nine crimes involving bribery, kickbacks, conspiracies and cover-ups.
Pumper, 49, of Broadview Heights, was a young and successful businessman as a part-owner and president of the D-A-S Construction Co. in Garfield Heights. But in his quest for greater wealth, he paid more than $2 million in bribes to government officials and executives at Philips Medical Systems, now known as Philips Health Care, in order to gain an unfair advantage over his business competitors.
At Dimora's racketeering trial last year, Pumper testified that he provided tens of thousands of dollars worth of free and discounted patio work at Dimora's home in Independence.
Pumper also confessed to paying the disgraced former commissioner more than $33,000 in cash, and of buying him meals and drinks. He also paid bribes to school board officials in Parma and Maple Heights.
Pumper also promised to hire Dimora's friend, Michael Gabor, as a sales agent for a start-up company, Green-Source, and to kick back a percentage of Gabor's earnings to Dimora.
Dimora was convicted on racketeering and 30 other charges and sentenced to 28 years in prison. Gabor also was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Pumper also accused Dimora of intervening on his behalf with Common Pleas Judge Bridget McCafferty, who was presiding over a lawsuit filed against D-A-S. McCafferty was convicted of lying to the FBI, and sentenced to a year in prison.
Pumper also testified at the sentencing hearing of friend and work partner Michael Forlani, an electrical contractor sentenced to eight years in prison for racketeering and bribery schemes.
In May 2008, two FBI agents confronted Pumper after they caught him passing a $2,000 bribe to a Cleveland building inspector. He eventually agreed to cooperate, but not before throwing one laptop computer in the garbage, another into Lake Erie, and scheming with his friends to cover up their crimes.
Pumper's assistance helped to launch a five-year federal investigation that has produced convictions against more than 60 government officials, public employees and contractors.
"There was no good reason for what he did," said defense attorney Brian Downey at the hearing. "He made his own bad choices."
Downey said Pumper was influenced by "others who believed this kind of conduct was normal, proper and OK, that it was a way of doing business when it clearly was not."
Pumper is one of the last defendants to be sentenced. Those still awaiting their punishments are:
• J. Kevin Kelley, a former county employee and Parma school board member, who is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 20;
• Daniel Gallagher, consultant and retired chief of staff in the county engineer's office, who is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 18;
• Ex-County Auditor Frank Russo is serving a 22-year sentence in a federal prison in Pennsylvania, but is expected to receive a reduced sentence as a reward for his cooperation with prosecutors and the FBI. His new sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

SUMMIT TOWNSHIP – High school vocational education in Jackson County started at Jackson Community College in 1965 at the urging of the Michigan Legislature, which supported the program – the first of its kind in the state – by giving JCC partial state aid for students in it.
The school districts collected the full state aid for each student enrolled in the program, but JCC received an additional one-half state aid for them. So, the state was paying one-and-one-half state aid for each student enrolled in vocational education.
There were 420 students enrolled in vocational education in 1970 when the state said it would no longer grant aid to JCC for them. The college had anticipated $150,000 from the state, but got a token $50,000 and a directive from the state to phase out its high school vocational education program by the end of the year.
Local educators were in a quandary.
At the time, more than half of the graduating seniors in Jackson County were not going on to college and they needed vocational training to land good jobs right out of high school, local school officials said.
Local schools could only offer vocational training on a piecemeal basis, so the Jackson County Intermediate School District in October 1970, offered up a 1.9-mill ballot issue to build a 1,600-student vocational skills center.
It failed nearly 2-to-1 with only 13 percent of the county's 58,000 registered voters going to the polls. JCC also tried unsuccessfully three times to pass a millage to keep its vocational training program.
Enrollment in vocational education in Jackson County dropped to about 200 students with Jackson High School offering the only real suitable facilities for on-the-job training.
By 1972, Branch, Calhoun, Lenawee and Ingham counties all had vocational skill centers with a job placement of students running at 95 to 100 percent every year.
So, the ISD went back to voters in December 1972 with a 2.5-mill proposal to build, equip and run a skill center that would serve 2,000 students. Every Jackson County school district campaigned for it and it passed by about 300 votes.
The $4 million project also received a State Department of Education also approved a $1.7 million federal grant for construction costs that was administered by the Michigan Department of Education.
The Jackson Area Career Center almost was located at Parnall Road and Lansing Avenue, but the ISD couldn't reach a sale agreement with the Lansing Catholic Diocese. In October 1973, its board accepted an offer from JCC for 47 acres near Browns Lake and Emmons roads.
Site work began in October 1974. Construction started July 1, 1975. And the Career Center opened on Sept. 9, 1976. Three shifts of students attended classes that started at 8:30 a.m., 11:35 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
At first, the 1,100 students enrolled had to bring their own sack lunches, as the cafeteria wasn't ready for a month or two.

text: Yup, new p6 - shoots great, want to customize and make it my own. My front strap grooves are slightly damaged, so I'll be stippling my front strap & trigger guard. I'll also polish out the import mark on the slide. I've allready ordered a stainless guide rod, & wood grips/trijicon nightsights will be installed. - I want best looking, most durable and functional BLACK finish/coating done inside and out. I have done some research and I've decided that I don't want just another exterior spray and bake. From what I can tell, the Roguard outer/Np3 inner is the superior treatment. My concerns are uniform application and the fit of the slide when its all done. If anyone has some insight into finishes or the P6, I'd like to hear it. Thank you - J.T.

So much for St. James pulling away.
Port Allen (14-7, 5-2) and Brusly (19-7, 5-2) beat the Wildcats (18-5, 5-2) on Friday and Tuesday, respectively, to quickly erase St. James' two-game lead in the District 7-3A standings.
Donaldsonville (12-11, 5-2) has meanwhile won back-to-back outings to force a four-way tie as the regular season winds down.
"It's an everyday battle," Donaldsonville Coach Barry Whittington said. "Every game is of very big importance. Every game is significant. It's crazy, but the only thing we can worry about is what we can control, and that's playing good basketball and getting W's. We just need to take care of business, and then we'll see what happens."
The message is much the same around the district.
"We knew our district was tough," St. James Coach James Smith said. "The records indicate how tough our district is, and we were fortunate in the first round to do as well as we did, but we knew starting the second round, everyone was going to be jockeying for position and looking at film now and making adjustments … After the first round, we just kind of wiped the slate clean and realized, 'You know what, now we're 0-0, and it's gonna be our second round record that determines where we stand.'
"We only want to focus on what's in front of us — not on what we've accomplished. You can't get distracted by what you've done. You've got to focus on what's up next."
The Panthers narrowly lost Jan. 11 at St. James, 77-74, in the teams' second district contest in a game standout Jay Christophe missed for an official football visit to Howard University.
Brusly Coach Harold Boudreaux, Christophe and company made a point to not let Tuesday's rematch overshadow any opponents in between the two meetings, according to Boudreaux.
"We didn't wanna overlook anybody," Boudreaux said. "We knew we had a five-game home stretch in district, and we were looking forward to that atmosphere and that extra energy, but we were looking forward to St. James just like we were looking forward to St. Charles or Donaldsonville, (Brusly's next two opponents)."
St. James' next two games will be played at home against cellar-dwellers E.D. White (6-16, 1-6) and St. Charles Catholic (2-22, 0-7) before visiting Donaldsonville.
Port Allen heads to Donaldsonville and E.D. White before hosting Brusly.
Donaldsonville faces likely the toughest remaining road to the finals with no remaining matchups against E.D. White or St. Charles.
The Tigers host Port Allen, visit Brusly and host St. James.
"It's really unpredictable," Whittington said. "There's a lot of scenarios that could play out. We could end up having the same talk a week from (Friday) about a four-way tie after district's finished."
DISTRICT 5-5A CLASH: East Ascension (23-3, 5-1) will have an opportunity to avenge its only league loss on Friday when it hosts Dutchtown (20-5, 5-1) in a pivotal 5-5A matchup. The two teams are once again even in the standing after the Griffins faltered against Catholic (9-15, 2-4) last Friday.
St. Amant (18-9, 3-3) could still make some noise in the standings, although back-to-back losses have drastically reduced its room for error.
MADISON PREP TRIO RETURNS: Sophomore Brandon Sampson and senior Dedrick Freeman returned to action Saturday for Madison Prep, and senior Chad Williams followed suit Tuesday.
Coach Jeff Jones said the three starters are still potentially a week or so away from full strength, but said he is excited for their return as the regular season winds down and the Chargers look toward the fast-approaching playoffs.

Liverpool, NY – Liverpool Central School District Board of Education will make a decision tonight on a plan that would redistrict all school boundaries, reconfigure the grades in the district and close an elementary school.
For the past year the board of education has explored changes to the district and set up three sub-committees to look at grade reconfiguration, redistricting and building utilization.
The board of education heard recommendations in May from the building utilization committee, the final of the three sub-committees, which suggested closing an elementary school.
"What we need to do now, as a board, is decide if this plan is fiscally responsible," said board member Don Cook in June. "It's not how we are going to do it, but it is if we can do it in a fiscally responsible manner."
In September 2011, the board voted to move forward with a proposed grade reconfiguration that would move sixth grade to the middle schools, move ninth grade to the high school and eliminate the Liverpool High School Annex, a ninth-grade only building.
In April, the board voted to accept a recommendation by the redistricting committee to redistrict all school boundaries in time for the start of school in September 2013. The board decided in May to forgo that start date.
The board heard recommendations from the building utilization committee May 21, but has yet to vote on them. The board will vote tonight, according to the agenda posted on the district's website.
The building utilization committee was charged with the task of looking at building usage, suggesting a possible closure of an elementary school and exploring the costs of the recommended changes.
The cost of the changes is what has delayed the vote. In June, some board members were concerned that this is the wrong economic time to go forward with the plan.
To fund the project the district would seek a bond from the state in order to receive state aid to reduce the cost of the project. In order to receive the bond, the project would be put up for a public vote.
Parents and community members attending tonight's meeting will also see some changes to the structure of the board meetings. Public communication, the time set aside for members of the community to speak, has been recently changed. There is now only one allotted time for community members to speak and it will be at end of the meeting.
Sharon Yager, a parent in the district, said she was concerned with the change because it will not give community members the chance to address agenda items until after the board votes.
Yager urged the board to reconsider the change.
The board of education meeting is at 7 p.m. tonight at the district office, 195 Blackberry Road, Liverpool.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The state is warning senior citizens to be wary of a telemarketing scam that involves the offer of free "medical alert devices."
The scammers pose as representatives for medical device companies and ask for money and personal information, including social security numbers or credit card information, in exchange for "free" medical alert equipment, the state Division of Consumer Protection warned in an alert issued Monday. "Seniors may also be coerced into believing that their health and well-being is at serious risk without the use of this equipment."
The agency has received dozens of complaints about such solicitations in the past year. Officials offer advice, but it all boils down to realizing this: No reputable company selling medical equipment will request personal information in an unsolicited call.
The agency is not slamming legitimate businesses that sell medical alert products. The maker of one such item, Life Alert ("I've fallen, and I can't get up!") warns of fraudsters on its own website and says it does not make unsolicited calls.
Seniors -- and all consumers -- are urged to guard their personal information. Consumer Protection officials offer the following additional tips:
- If you receive an unsolicited call from someone asking for personal information, hang up.
- If you accept any solicitation calls, be sure to get an address and phone number where you can follow up.
- Only give out information when you initiate the call to a known, reputable company.
- Conduct web research to assist your efforts.
- Get on the state's Do Not Call registry by calling 1-888-382-1222. You can also log onto www.donotcall.gov and file a complaint (at the same website and phone number) if you are registered and receive telemarketing calls.
For more information contact Consumer Protection at (518)-474-8583 or visit dos.ny.gov.

Inslee gets blockbuster endorsement in governor's race - from Obama
Democratic candidate Jay Inslee has picked up the biggest endorsement in his campaign for governor of Washington — from President Barack Obama.
Inslee's campaign announced the endorsement Monday, Sept. 10. Campaign officials said it was President Obama's first gubernatorial endorsement of the 2012 campaign.
"I want to thank President Obama for his endorsement, and I look forward to working with him to strengthen Washington's economy," Inslee said. "This election couldn't be more important for the future of our middle class."
Inslee's campaign released the endorsement from President Obama: "Jay Inslee is the type of authentic, independent leader that Washington needs now, more than ever. His leadership on the emerging clean energy economy has the potential to make Washington the hub of an innovative, job-creating industry that serves as the foundation for long-lasting economic growth in every corner of the state."
"I am happy to give Jay Inslee my endorsement today. I am confident the people of Washington will give him their endorsement this November," Obama said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Carol Danko, communications director for Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn), has left Grimm's staff.
Ms. Danko, whose last day was Thursday, will be vice president of public affairs for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Danko has been Grimm's only spokeswoman since he went to the House in 2011. She was also Grimm's policy adviser on Hurricane Sandy.
She called the past three years of service "unforgettable."
"It was a sincere pleasure serving the people of Staten Island and Brooklyn, and I am honored to have met so many remarkable people in the district," she said, "particularly those impacted by Sandy and the members of the community who came to their aid and continue to help rebuild."
Ms. Danko went to work for Grimm after spending five years on the staff of Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.). She also worked for Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.).
"We are losing a good part of the team in Carol Danko," Grimm said. "She is a consummate professional."
He lauded the work she did during Sandy, saying Ms. Danko was a force on the ground and often worked around the clock.
"She really stepped up to the plate during Sandy," he said. "Her dedication to the people of Staten Island and Brooklyn is beyond appreciated, and will be sorely missed."
While sad to see her go, Grimm said he was excited to see Ms. Danko move on to her new position.
"I'm really proud and excited for her," he said. "She is going to have a tremendously successful career."
Grimm said his office was in search of a replacement for Ms. Danko.
Grimm's District Director Nick Curran will handle Sandy-related matters. Press inquiries will be handled by Nick Iacono until a replacement for Ms. Danko is found.

Another week, another OS: Setting up Ubuntu on the Eee-PC 901
Windows XP was slowish, and I didn't want to deal with virus scanner updates, etc. XEPC was great, but in simple mode it wasn't quite a real operating system, whereas in full desktop mode it didn't work so well. So I decided to try Ubuntu. To me, Ubuntu's Netbook Remix seems like the ideal user interface to run on netbooks, but for starters I decided to give 'Ubuntu Eee" a try. Here's how I went about it.
The only thing that's really difficult about setting up Ubuntu on the 901 is the amount of (often conflicting) info you'll find when googling. I spent days reading installation tutorials, fixes, etc before finally coming to the conclusion that there's really only very little you need to know.
Here's what I did:
- Get Ubuntu Eee here. (there's also a competing eeebuntu distro, but it seems this one is maintained more actively).
- You'll need Netbootin to create a bootable usb stick (1GB or bigger). Use it to put the downloaded iso file on the stick.
- Insert the usb stick into your 901, press ESC during boot, and choose to to boot off of it.
- Choose 'Install Ubuntu' and follow the instructions.
- Choose manual partitioning, remove the existing partitions from both SSD drives.
- Create new ext2-formatted partitions on both disks. I created two on the 8GB drive, a small one for swap, the rest for my data.
- Set the mount point for the 4GB SSD to '/', the data partition 8GB (or 16GB) one will be '/home'. This will put your files on the larger disk, and leave more room on the system disk.
- Finish the install
- Your 901 will boot into Ubuntu quite nicely, but with no working wifi or ethernet.
- This is where the custom kernel from array.org comes in. Follow these instructions to the letter.
That's it. Ubuntu runs great on my 901, even with the 'advanced desktop effects' (a.k.a. Compiz Fusion). I needed to re-enable the webcam in the BIOS, but after that all major functions worked.
My only remaining issue is that some keyboard functions do not work. There's an on-screen equivalent for all of them, but I'll look into tweaks to get them working. Array.org has some I might try.

ITHACA — A 36-year-old Pompeii woman remains in the Gratiot County Jail, awaiting a Dec. 12 pre-trial conference in connection with the hit-and-run death of a 14-year-old Sumner boy.
Brandie L. Malek would face up to five years in prison if convicted of failing to stop at the scene of an accident resulting in serious impairment or death.
Police allege Malek drove a GMC Yukon sport-utility vehicle that struck Brandon Rummer about 11:14 p.m. on July 21 as the youth rode a bicycle east on West Center near Jerome in Ithaca.
The victim later was pronounced dead at MidMichigan Medical Center-Gratiot.
Officers allege Malek, also driving east, struck the bicycle from behind but fled the scene. Malek came forward July 24 and, police allege, "gave statements to Ithaca police officers as to her involvement" in the hit-and-run fatality.
Gratiot County District Judge Stewart McDonald set bond at $150,000 bond for Malek, who hasn't posted bond and remains in jail.
A jury trial is scheduled for Jan. 18.
Police said Brandon had left a friend's house in the country and was riding into Ithaca at the time of the incident.
Brandon had completed eighth grade at Pavlik Middle School in Alma, and was the son of Rodney and Darci Rummer.

70 Watt 13000K Metal Halide Bulb - Aqualine AB, Double Ended
We offer a wide variety of Metal Halide bulb choices to suit your aquarium lighting needs.
A Metal Halide Lamp is a high-intensity discharge light source in which the light is produced by the radiation from mercury, plus halides of metals such as sodium, scandium, indium, and dysprosium. The K at the end of color rating for each bulb stands for Kelvin. This is a measurement of the color temperature. The higher the Kelvin rating, the cooler (bluer) the color of light given off by the bulb. In general, the color given off by the 10,000K German is interpreted as being a perfect white color.
There are two main considerations to decide upon when chosing Metal Halide bulbs and systems: wattage and color temperature.
There are generally two considerations when planning wattage, tank depth and the requirements of various types of corals. Tanks 18" and shorter will, typically, use 175 or 250 watt MH bulbs. Typically, tanks 24" and over will use 400 watt MH bulbs. I have found most soft and large-polyped-stony corals to do just fine within 5-15 inches from a 175 watt bulb and 10-24 inches from a 400 watt bulb. Most small-polyped-stony corals survive within 5-10 inches from a 175 watt but appear to thrive within 5-15 inches of 250 and 400 watt bulbs. These are all just general statements to assist in going the correct route with chosing wattage. They are not absolute truths.
Color temperature is a hotly debated topic where there is no one recommendation that will fit everybody. Lower Kelvin temperatures are yellower and greener colors while higher Kelvin temperatures are whiter and bluer colors. There are two factors that determine most hobbysts choice of bulb colors, par rating and aesthetics. The 6500K Iwasaki bulb is generally regarded as an excellent PAR rated bulb. However, it`s green tinged yellowish color makes for what is considered by many as poor aesthetics. This is not the say the much bluer 20,000K German bulb is aesthetically ideal. Many hobbyists complain this bulb is too blue. By far, the bulbs most popularly purchased are the 13,000K German and the 12,000K Sunburst bulbs. The majority of hobbyists choose aesthetics as the determining factor of chosing color temperature for the primary reason that the appearance of our aquariums is of utmost importance. Due to the subjective nature of color preference, we refrain from making suggestions on which color temperature is right for you. Instead, we have a visual bulb comparison of the popular bulbs on the market.
As a general rule of thumb, use one metal halide bulb for 24" of tank length. Most of the Metal Halide bulbs in the same wattage format can be interchanged. However, please contact us to make sure. Metal Halide bulbs are one the most difficult aspects of the hobby to recommend. Most of the information here is general.
Common questions/problems concerning metal halide lamps:
Metal halide lamps of the same kind are different colors?
Metal halide lamps operate by passing an electric arc through an arc tube that excites particles in the arc tube. When the metal particles reach an excited state they emit energy in the form of visible light. It takes 100 hours of operation before the metal particles stabilize and become a consistent color. All metal halides require 100 hours of operation before color and light output stabilize. All metal halides inherently have a slight color variation between individual lamps.
The metal halide lamp fires and then either burns dull or the arc extinguishes?
Usually the ballast and lamp are not receiving enough power. Metal halides pull a high current. Usually the problem is either there is too great a load on the circuit or the extension cords are of a small wire size and can`t handle the power needed by the ballast. Use only heavy duty extension cords and try running a ballast off a circuit from another part of the house.
Do I need a cover shield between the lamp and the aquarium?
Metal halide lamps produce a large amount of UV and also have a potential of exploding. The single ended metal halide lamps have an outer jacket which eliminates most of the UV. However, they have an inherent risk of exploding and UL requires metal halide lamps to be enclosed. On double ended lamps there is no UV shield. Double ended lamps must have a glass shield or major eye injuries including blindness may occur.
Can I operate a ballast and lamp together which are designed for different wattages?
Each wattage lamp and ballast are designed together for optimal performance and safety. If you over drive the lamp it may explode and shorten the life of the ballast and lamps. If you under drive the lamp it will also shorten the life of both components and also may explode. Do not mix different type wattages of lamps and ballasts.
NOTE: Double ended bulbs should always be used with the UV shield (supplied). Your corals can suffer from excess UV radiation otherwise. The bulb should be handled carefully as well since it has no outer glass casing. Using soft gloves is a good idea to keep finger prints off bulb. This is during installation and replacement.

Amazing bulb - supeb growth
7/14/2012 from WESTBOROUGH, MA UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
Loved this bulb. Perfect color. Very similar to a phoenix 14K bulb. Was able to get about 18 months before I noticed growth starting to slow. Very expensive though, not sure I would buy again simply due to the price.

As our president keeps meddling in our daily lives we keep listening to his lies and don't hold him accountable. We are told how much better our lives will be under the Affordable Care Act, health care will cost less, everything will be the same — same doctors, same hospitals, same services. The people bought it hook, line and sinker.
While many are out there praising this health care nightmare because it hasn't affected them yet or because they can keep their adult children on their plan, I hope they are holding their breath that they don't get a cancellation notice before the next election.
For those who are walking on eggshells over this, just wait until your hours are reduced to part-time, your health care gets canceled and you have to get Obamacare.
Then you might find out you make too much for government help and have to pay the full load. Then tell us how good it is.
Now the president is changing the immigration laws by executive order with no regard to the implications and how many more people will be allowed in this country, good or bad!

HOLYOKE -- Democrats Christopher Hopewell and Patrick T. Leahy will debate Monday in their quest to be the party nominee to compete for the 2nd Hampden-Hampshire state Senate seat.
The debate will be held 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Holyoke Public Library, 250 Chestnut St.
Hopewell, 55, chairman of the city Fire Commission, and Leahy, 36, a Holyoke police officer, will be on the ballot in the Sept. 9 primary election.
The winner in the primary election will face incumbent Sen. Donald R. Humason, R-Westfield, on Election Day Nov. 4.
Humason, 47, has held the seat since winning a special election in November. He defeated Democrat David K. Bartley, a Holyoke city councilor.
Humason was a state representative for 11 years before that. He also worked as an aide to Michael R. Knapik, a Westfield Republican, who had held the state Senate seat for 20 years before resigning in August for a job with Westfield State University.
Anthony Soto, Holyoke city councilor for Ward 2, said the debate is being sponsored by the Massachusetts Democratic Latino Caucus, Holyoke Democratic Committee and Westfield Democratic Committee.
The district consists of, in Hampden County, Holyoke, Westfield, Agawam, Granville, Montgomery, Russell, Southwick, Tolland and Chicopee's Ward 7, Ward 8A and Ward 9A, and in Hampshire County, Easthampton and Southampton.
Hopewell is coordinator of emergency medical services at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton where he oversees 17 ambulance services for cities and towns in the region. He is married to Laurie Cabana and they have four grown children.
Leahy, the brother of City Councilor at Large James M. Leahy, has been a police officer since 2003. He also is a Realtor. He and wife Melissa Leahy had their first child, a daughter, in July.

PINSON, Alabama -- Prior to his sophomore season, Pinson Valley point guard Marcus Merriweather almost lost the game.
While playing in an AAU tournament he sustained such a severe dislocated right elbow that one doctor told him he may not be able to use his right arm again, much less play basketball.
"It was bad," the 6-foot, 175-pound senior said in a telephone interview with AL.com. "When I looked down my arm was in two different places. I thought it was over."
It wasn't.
Merriweather recently recorded his 1,000th career point and has been Pinson Valley's undisputed leader on the court this season. He's averaging a team-best 18.8 points per game from the point.
"Everybody I talk to says he's the best point guard they've played against, and that's a credit to Marcus' ability that everybody talks about how good his as the point guard," Pinson Valley coach Clint Argo said. "And to me he's probably not a true point guard, but he plays the position so well it's hard for me to not play him there."
It took a long time for Merriweather to get back on the court. After three different doctors said they could not put his elbow back together, Merriweather went to Dr. James Andrews, who successfully repaired his elbow through surgery.
That was the tip-off of his comeback. The hand exercises came first, followed by the work to build strength back into the arm. Then it was time to relearn how to shoot.
"I had to reteach myself how to shoot again," Merriweather said. "I had to start from scratch."
And, as it turns out, think outside the box. When things weren't going right, Merriweather went left.
"At one point my dad said 'Well, if you're not going to be able to use your right arm, I might as well teach you how to shoot with your left hand,.' Merriweather said. "I literally developed a left-handed jump shot and that still surprises people that I can shoot with my left hand."
Merriweather made it back onto the court his sophomore year, then playing at John Carroll Catholic and appearing in 11 games. He transferred to Pinson Valley (15-11) for his junior year and took over point guard duties in an offense built around 6-8 center Cody Farley.
"Cody was the man last year and I was alright with that," Merriweather said. "But coach came to me at the end of the season and said that next year I was going to have to be the guy to carry the load. So I'm still trying to make sure my teammates get involved but when things start going awry I have to do what I have to do to make sure we're okay at the end of the game."
But he's been conscious of what his role on the point needs to be.
"Coach always says there's a fine line between being a scorer and being a ball hog, and you have to find that fine line," Merriweather said. "I always tell him that I don't want people to think that I'm being a ball hog when I'm taking shots or if I do something and people ask why did I do that. You always want your teammates to play for you and not just think "OK, he's taking every shot, why should I play hard because he's shooting everything.'
"I've been watching that. I have a ratio, if I make three passes I'll take a shot or if I shoot twice I'll make a pass just to make sure I don't do too much shooting."
Merriweather eclipsed the 1,000 point mark for his career with 16 points in a 53-49 loss to Center Point on Jan. 24. He's gone for more than 20 points in three of his past four games, including 29 in a 76-70 loss top Mountain Brook on Friday and 28 in a 78-68 win over Clay-Chalkville on Jan. 29. That surgically revived career total currently sat at 1,139 career points at the time of publication.
"I give him a lot of leeway," Argo said. "He's not one of those guys that is going to make a lot of mistakes and do things that you disagree with. He's got a lot of freedom and if he's creating something that's working I'm not going to tell him to stop doing it, that's for sure."

I love tea. Ok, I'm addicted. I gave up my Coke habit and switched to this beverage. Pre-money saving mode, I would buy premade tea at the store. Not the store brand either. The $2.34 a gallon Red Diamond Sweet Tea. Multiply that by a conservative average of 6 gallons a week and I was spending $14.04(at least). That's $56.16 a month or $673.92 a year. Yikes!
As you can tell, I never figured up the price I was spending. That's insane!
Since I have been home, I have faithfully made my own tea, whether it's 1 gallon or sometimes 2 a day. I never really figured the price I was paying but some recent sales on tea bags got me wondering which one the better deal.
I had some Lipton tea bags that cost $2.68 for 100 or $0.0268 a piece. Then I had some coupons for the Luzianne tea bags. I paid $0.96 for a box of 24 or $0.04 each. I bought sugar on sale for $1.69 for 4 lbs with says it contains 454 teaspoons.
Ok, here was my problem. I use cup fulls, not teaspoon fulls to make tea. Grrr. Plus I am not a math person. Numbers give me a migraine. I did a google search and found a site with this handy dandy calculator.
According to the calculator, I can get 9.45 cups of sugar out of that bag. So that means 1 cup of sugar costs me approx $0.18.
So here are my calculations (I just figure tea bag price and sugar)
.0268x6(number of bags)= .1608
.18x1.5(amount of sugar in cups I use)=.27
total for sugar and tea bags =0.4308 per gallon
.04x3(they are the larger tea bags)= .12
total = .39 per gallon
I thought the Luzianne would be more per gallon to make, but obviously not. Of course, the price will fluctuate according to the price of sugar and the tea bags(normally I just use GV brand for the tea and sugar but these were bought on sale) Overall, it is way better than the $2.34 a gallon I was happily forking over before.
