It's obvious that Wilson will be running the ball. They didn't draft him just to be a KO returner.
However, he is dynamic and can really provide good, no great, field position for our offense. That is a huge thing.
If he gets hurt and goes out, the Giants are screwed both at RB running the ball and KO Returning.
For this reason, there is no doubt that they will have to deploy someone else with speed to take over KO returns.
Scott and/or JJ are good candidates.
We will need another RB for depth!!!
I'm disappointed that Bradsahw was cut. He is still good and has tread on his tires. He would have been a great 3rd down RB.
He can run, has intensity, can block for Eli, and can catch passes.
I hope they can still bring him back for a reduced salary ??
If we do not get Bradshaw to return at a reduced salary, then with all of the psn needs we have, I can see the Giants drafting another RB.
Lacy would be a nice complementary RB with Wilson
However, it may be more palletable to get another RB via FA.

Tigua Tribal Police granted enforcement power to arrest non-Native Americans
Tribal Police Chief Raul Candelaria says not being able to protect the pueblo made him feel like 2nd class citizens.
EL PASO, Texas - The Tigua tribe's Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo attracts a lot of outside visitors, and is even home to many who aren't Native Americans. Yet tribal police have never been able to arrest, or protect their people from, non-native felony lawbreakers. That all changed Thursday.
Officer Celina Candelaria is training to patrol the streets of the Yselta Del Sur Pueblo.
She will will be the first and only woman in the Tigua Nation Tribal Police Department, and unlike officers before her, she will have the ability to investigate crimes committed by non-natives.
"It makes me feel good to know that now we don't have to just arrest them and release them and just cite them, now we can actually prosecute them and they have to go through a jury," Candelaria said.
Candelaria says that Native American women are raped three times more than any other ethnicity, and the majority of attackers are non-natives who come on the Ysleta reservation. Now she can arrest those men.
"It's a dream of dreams," Chief Raul Candelaria said at the Tigua's ceremony. "It's something that's been on the back burner for years and years."
The U.S. solicitor general granted the Tigua Police Department a special law enforcement commission to apprehend potential felons, where before they would have to rely on Soccorro or El Paso PD to investigate a crime, and and could only hope justice would be served. Tribal Police Chief Raul Candelaria, Celina's uncle, says not being able to protect the Pueblo made him feel like 2nd class citizens.
"El Paso has encroached on the land of the res, and now a lot of the indians living on the pueblo are married to non-indians," said Chief Candelaria. "We also have visitors coming into the reservation that are non-indian and unfortunately we cannot enforce any penalty or law on them."
The new law enforcement recognition though, changes that for the ten officers that make up the tribal police department.
"Now we have the ability to enforce our own laws, tribal laws and US laws," Chief Candelaria said, and for Officers like Celina Candelaria, the power to protect their people.
"Now any crime that's under the felony list, we can actually go ahead and convict them of that," Candelaria said.
Chief Candelaria tells ABC-7 domestic violence, rape, drug abuse and theft are the most common non-native crimes on the reservation, and the ones tribal police will be pursuing.

I started a hive via swarm back in June. Things initially started going along well but early on I found swarm/supercedure cells. I figured they knew best so I just left them. Then, I found more... Patients I though... They now best. I added a super in August but they didn't touch it, even though they had their brood box mostly filled (80-90%).
I September there was little to no brood so I got a little bit worried. Now, over the last couple weeks I started to get a TON of drone cells, basically all my cells were drones, and most cells had between 1-6 eggs, all in the bottom of the cells, not the cell walls. My first though was a laying worker but I found the queen 2 weeks ago and then again today. She was running around the place like an idiot and the other bees just ignored her. My thought is she could be virgin, but if so, she's been this way for a few weeks even though it is plenty warm enough for her to make her flight and I have no shortage of drones.
I have a new colony I started about 3 weeks ago via a fall swarm and they are going gang busters so I stole a barely drawn out comb (about a half a hand size) with eggs, figuring I will give the old hive one more chance to build a new queen, which, I think I'd prefer anyways as this new colony seems a lot more put together and organized.
A few other observations in the old (troubled) hive. About 5 SHB on the underside of the cover, I didn't see any more inside. I removed the super a few weeks ago and they are now at a single large box.
On the new hive there was one bee hatching (very cool) but there were a few more cells that were opened and I could look inside and see some white heads of bee larvae but they were pretty close to full size. Shouldn't they be capped until they crawl out on their own?
Thanks everybody for your help!

WELSH — Residents here will benefit from improved fire protection with the addition of a new fire engine.
The fire engine, which replaces one that has been in service for more than 30 years, will have increased water capacity, making the department better equipped to fight larger fires.
"This should bolster the town's fire protection arsenal and help maintain its Class 4 rating," Mayor Carolyn Louviere said.
The $260,325 vehicle was purchased, in part, with a $39,000 interest-free loan from the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority. The rest of the financing is provided through a bond sale. St. Martin Bank and Trust Company is the primary lender.
The new fire engine is bigger, safer, has more cargo space, and is more user friendly than the old truck, which was refurbished in 1991 and was starting to decline in performance, reliability and usability, Fire Chief John Hall said.
The new truck will carry 500 more gallons of water, allowing the department to deliver water 50 percent longer without connecting to a hydrant. The truck should help the town maintain its fire rating, which benefits all residents and businesses by keeping insurance premiums low, Hall said.
Purchase of a new fire truck has been under consideration for about four years, with size, capacity, seating, horsepower and layout of the hose beds as primary considerations in the design. Through surveys, meetings, vendor demos and dealer input, "we were successful in selecting the perfect truck for our community," Hall said.
"The purchase of a new fire truck means our firefighters are better able to protect the lives and property of the residents of Welsh," Hall said. "In addition, replacing outdated equipment and a 1981-model fire engine that has been out of service gives our firefighters what they need to perform without placing their own lives in jeopardy."
The LPFA Bond Bank Program is a voluntary program established by the LPFA Board of Trustees solely with LPFA funds to help local government entities and reduce their overall borrowing costs.

What is in this article?:
This article describes components, highlights applicable codes/standards, notes advantages and disadvantages, and discusses potential commercial applications.
Codes and Standards
It is important to perform a detailed codes and standards search when considering a design utilizing direct gas-fired AHUs. There are two primary equipment standards and two primary codes that provide specific operating and application guidelines for direct gas-fired AHUs:
• ANSI Standard Z83.4, Non-Recirculating Direct Gas-Fired Industrial Air Heaters. ANSI Standard Z83.4 is the primary equipment standard for 100-percent outside-air direct gas-fired AHUs and includes limitations on combustion byproducts (CO less than 5.0 ppm, NO2 less than 0.5 ppm, and CO2 less than 4,000 ppm), gas-ignition control, combustion-air control, and flame safety.
• ANSI Standard Z83.18, Recirculating Direct Gas-Fired Industrial Air Heaters. ANSI Standard Z83.18 is the primary equipment standard for recirculating direct gas-fired AHUs and includes limitations on combustion byproducts (CO less than 25 ppm, NO2 less than 3 ppm, and CO2 less than 5,000 ppm), gas-ignition control, combustion-air control, and flame safety. The standard prescribes a limit on air-temperature rise based on the percentage of recirculated air.
• International Fuel Gas Code. The International Fuel Gas Code has separate sections to address non-recirculating direct-fired AHUs (Section 611) and recirculating direct-fired AHUs (Section 612). Both sections note that direct-fired AHUs cannot supply any area with sleeping quarters, makeup air must come from outside, motorized outside-air dampers/louvers must be proven open prior to burner activation, systems must be controlled properly to prevent building overpressurization, and burner controls need to have a burner purge cycle.
• NFPA Standard 54, National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA Standard 54 has similar requirements as sections 611 and 612 of the International Fuel Gas Code. Its requirements differ depending on whether a direct-fired AHU is listed (Edison, UL) or unlisted. Unlisted direct-fired AHU discharge-air temperature is limited to 150˚F.

Missing Marina Mother's Husband Pleads For Her Safe Return
Police say Carie Leetch was reported missing on Friday
MARINA, Calif. - UPDATE: A helicopter is expected to fly over the entire city of Marina Wednesday for Carie Leetch.
The husband of a woman who vanished from their Marina home three days ago is pleading for her safe return.
Carie Leetch disappeared on Friday morning. She also goes by Carie Munoz, Carie Hufford, and the nickname Lulu.
Shaking and holding back tears, David Hufford showed Central Coast News pictures of his wife and their family.
"I love her and I miss her and I don't know if she's going to come back," he said.
The 29-year-old disappeared Friday morning, leaving all of her belongings, including her cell phone, something Hufford said is unlike her. He said he last saw her at their home before he left for an appointment. She was reported missing around 1:30 p.m.
"She was sick, so she stayed here and when I came back she was gone," he said.
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team and Marina police searched for Leetch on Saturday relatively close to her home near Imjin Parkway and Abrams Drive. Then after a tip came in from a woman who said she saw someone who looked like Leetch, the search resumed Monday in the same area. The woman said the woman she saw was wearing a grey sweater/sweatshirt and pink or purple pants and was barefoot.
As of Monday, Leetch was still missing and there were no leads.
People who live in the quiet community of Carpenter Court said they knew very little about Leetch but said she was a nice woman.
"My granddaughter at times plays with her daughter, her 10-year-old daughter," said Jackie Robinson, a neighbor. "She's friendly when you see her and she speaks. I see her riding bikes sometimes."
"I've seen her around here and there. They're a pretty reserved kind of family. They do come out, friends, family joking around, kids playing and everything," said April Celestino, a neighbor.
Now Hufford said he doesn't know what to do, but wait for Leetch to come home.
"It's hard because I'm used to having her here and she's not here," he said.
Hufford told Central Coast News Leetch worked as a hair stylist on the Monterey Peninsula, but said she hadn't had a client in several months. Police said she worked at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.
Police released this updated description of Leetch: Medium complexion Hispanic/Puerto Rican female, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds with brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a gray sweater/sweatshirt, pink or purple pajama bottoms with an unknown logo printed on them.
Anyone with information on where Leetch could be should contact the Marina Police Department at (831) 384-7575.

School of Social Work
Master of Social Work Program (MSW)
Director: Cray Mulder, Ph.D., LMSWOverview
In 2009, the School's mission and its MSW program goals were revised to meet the 2008 Educational Policies and Standards (EPAS) by incorporating measurable and observable professional competencies and professional practice behaviors to create an improved framework for evidenced-based practice. As in many other professions, such as medicine, nursing and psychology, the gold standard in education has become preparing students to provide services that have been grounded by substantial, rigorous research. Future teaching in all school of social work must now focus preparing students to demonstrate the professional skills that have such an evidence base and have been endorsed by CSWE. Students who can demonstrate such skills and behaviors in the MSW program will be prepared for roles in employment and civic engagement.
Foundation Curriculum
The primary purpose of the Foundation Curriculum is to provide the foundational knowledge essential for effective and competent professional social work practice from an Advanced Generalist perspective. The foundation content is consistent with the values and ethics of the social work profession. Human behavior and the social environment content emphasizes the knowledge and skills needed for social work competence with problems that occur in the interface between people and their social environments and institutions, as well as examines client strengths. Moreover, consistent with the Advanced Generalist perspective, each foundation course includes relevant content about the role of social policy, social research, social work practice, human diversity, and populations-at-risk. Advanced Generalist social workers are also concerned with societal conditions in their efforts to improve the quality of life and employ knowledge and skills regarding social policy and service delivery systems to improve social and economic justice.
The foundation curriculum addresses the necessity for the broad range of social work skills needed to strengthen the adaptive capabilities of individuals and to influence social and physical environments to be more responsive to human needs. Students completing the Foundation Curriculum develop the knowledge, values, and skills that transfer from one setting, population-at-risk, geographic area, and social problem to another. The goal of the Foundation Curriculum is to ensure students achievement of the Behavioral Benchmarks associated with each practice behavior.
Courses in the Foundation Curriculum expose students to new advances in practice knowledge through an integrative approach to Generalist social work practice, beginning to build a bridge from the Generalist method to Advanced Generalist approach to social work practice. Assessment and intervention on three levels, individual, environment, and societal, along with skill development in a variety of methods, individual, family, group, organizational, and community, is stressed in each foundation course. This model of social work practice illustrates a multi-level approach to Generalist practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Students learn the general problem-solving method of social work practice, along with acquiring an introduction to Advanced Generalist skills to be further delineated in the concentration curriculum described below.
Advanced Generalist Concentration
As Jones and Pierce (2006) have noted, advanced generalist models such as Grand Valley's are built on a liberal education foundation that promotes the use of critical thinking skills and conscientious application of advanced practice social work knowledge, skills, values and ethics. Here, as in other schools of social work, the advanced generalist serves a dual purpose. First the model integrates the advanced practice skills concentration curriculum to equip graduates to meet the diverse demands presented by unique social service delivery system; second it provides the context (or implicit curriculum) for an effective program students in which the program achieves its goals. The School's advanced generalist concentration is designed to:
- enhance the depth and breadth of practice in a multi-method, multi-level, and theoretically grounded perspective;
- refine and shape advanced practitioners through acquisition of professional competencies to assess, intervene, and evaluate within all systems and within all practice environments;
- affirm that human problems derive from a complex interplay of psychological, social, cultural, economic, political, biological and physical forces;
- prepare students to effectively intervene with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities;
- expand and enhance the foundation of generalist social work core competencies with advanced knowledge and practice behaviors;
- acquire advanced skills in leadership, collaboration, administration, advocacy, assessment, problem solving, intervention, cultural competency, communication, collaboration, community building, program evaluation, organizational management, policy analysis, and scientific inquiry.
The integration of professional practice skills within this curriculum model results in mastery of social work's core competencies and advanced generalist practitioners are proficient in a wide range of interventions, skills, roles, theories, systems and settings.
MSW Study Options
The School of Social Work offers students several options for completing the degree that include:
- Regular admission full-time: curriculum must be completed within 2 years - fall entry only
- Regular admission part-time: curriculum must be completed within 4 years - fall or winter entry only
- Advanced standing full-time: curriculum must be completed within 3 consecutive semesters – summer entry only
- Advanced standing part-time: curriculum must be completed within 6 semesters - fall entry only

Absolutely beautiful blocks this week, I have not even looked at mine yet. Hope to get to them tomorrow. These old bones are tired after my marathon sewing session on the weekend. I have sewn 183 HST for my quilt, only 657 to go
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Absolutely beautiful blocks this week, I have not even looked at mine yet. Hope to get to them tomorrow. These old bones are tired after my marathon sewing session on the weekend. I have sewn 183 HST for my quilt, only 657 to go
Wow, Mirabelle, you started with 3345 so that means you have sewn miles of seams. Very productive. Dudlb, too. This is thee 'best' of the best on QB quilting groups. Enjoying seeing everyone's products they have made.
Well, here is my Railroad Crossing block....I should have used a different shade of blue for the small squares...After seeing it put together I find it too homogenous.....My 4 yr old grandson likes the block...he ventures closer and closer to me when sewing so much that I have no elbow room...He likes the up and down machine...
Love the bright colors and the RR crossing, depot on the fabric...perfect fabric, perfect block one more time. It is amazing what kids remember their lifetime..the four year old may well remember your sewing his whole lifetime...and he may in turn, sew some day. Our gs is four, but I could not keep him by himself...much too active and interrupts adults too much...and is spoiled by his parents who does things his way, not their way.
Just finished my Homeward Bound block...I don't know where this flock of birds gathered from all I know is that they're flying in the same direction.....
Beautiful 'flock' of birds. Love the color and the block.
Thanks for the compliments...I received a package in the mail today...I wonder from who???
It seems we're the only ones around today!!!
Honchey--I like your blocks.I can see why your 4yr grandson would be drawn to this one! The other one has a nice combo of fabrics.
Finally had some sewing time today and got these two finished. With DH home there doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day.
DD's quilt top is finished, DH chose the final border, we were going to go scrappy as in the original but DH decided it would be too much, he has a good eye for color and balance. DD is coming home next weekend and we are going to start piecing my top, I hope to have all the triangles sewn by them only 600 something to do
Beautiful job on half sewn triangles and borders and the blocks down on the floor which my eye cannot really see too well....looks like a bird or two...and love your PC blocks...you continue to amaze me how you make your fabric work in the different patterns...all are very nice and will make a beautiful quilt. A lot of sewing done...especially with interruptions time after time of sitting down at the sewing machine...we ladies might have experienced that ourselves!!

[Article]-Book Review: BackTrack 4: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing
Permanent link: [Article]-Book Review: BackTrack 4: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing
by Jason Haddix
Don't have the cash for a $2000 - 3000 penetration testing course? Don't know which tools are outdated or relevant? Lost in the sea of Backtrack options? You learn better on your own anyway?
No problem!
BackTrack 4: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing (BASPT), authored by Shakeel Ali and Tedi Heriyanto, is a 12-chapter compendium on everyone's favorite hacking distribution, Backtrack 4. Filling the need for a refresher to older titles on abandoned projects like Knoppix or Auditor (see somewhat outdated: Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit, Vol. 2), BASPT gives syntax and usage tips on a plethora of different tools included in the suite and is broken down into the generic pentesting methodology with which most people today are familiar. Not only that, but also the book itself reads like some of those intro to penetration testing classes we have all been to costing many more times the cost of a single book.
Intrigued? Let's take a closer look.
Enjoy this review and be sure to check out Jason Haddix's column by cicking on his name above,

On the afternoon of July 1, 1863, as the tide of gray soldiers pushed forward towards town, a 69 year old defender confidently strode towards the expanding struggle. A veteran of the War of 1812, John Burns could not simply stand idly by as his home became a hotly contested battle ground. Moving in with the somewhat incredulous men of the Iron Brigade, the near 70 year old Burns fought along side men 50 years his junior. With them he would remain until wounded.
Union Lieutenant Frank Haskell, also present for the battle, wrote of his brief contact with Burns. "I saw "John Burns," the only citizen of Gettysburg who fought in the battle, and I asked him what troops he fought with. He said: "O, I pitched in with them Wisconsin fellers." I asked what sort of men they were, and he answered: "They fit terribly. The Rebs couldn't make anything of them fellers."
And so the brave compliment the brave. This man was touched by three bullets from the enemy, but not seriously wounded."

Unfortunately, technological advancements that solve problems sometimes seem to create new ones as a result. As an example, take the Internet and the use of email, instant messaging, social networking web sites, and electronic bulletin boards. These are great tools for disseminating information and enhancing telecommunication.
However, these great tools can also be abused with spam and the spreading of viruses that can take over your PC as well as lies and hateful messages, which can take over someone's life, especially if that someone is a young student.
Nowadays, when school children leave campus, they don't necessarily leave their classmates and their conflicts behind. By using computers, text pagers, and cell phones, students can be in touch with each other at all times and use all this technology to pester, bully, and harm others.
While no security software company has a product that can eliminate cyberbullying from your children's lives, McAfee® SecurityCenter does provide parents with some tools that mitigate the experience for their kids.
McAfee Internet Security and McAfee Total Protection™ products both come with parental controls that, if employed properly, help limit the access your children might have to objectionable material whenever they go online. McAfee Family Protection provides the easiest, most complete way to keep your children safe online. It keeps children of all ages safe from exposure to inappropriate content, social networking risks, strangers, and other online threats. Giving you peace of mind is McAfee's ultimate goal. Here are some suggestions for helping with cyberbullying: (1) limit the child's time online; (2) block access to inappropriate web sites; (3) use keyword filtering; and (4) use image analysis filtering.
One thing that concerns almost all parents is the amount of time children spend online. The less time online, the less time to be bullied or get caught up in cyber-social-warfare. If you want to limit the amount of time your child spends online, you can use the "Internet Time Limits" option within the McAfee SecurityCenter. Here you are able to block out times of the day in which the child cannot use the Internet.
In addition to limiting the amount of time your children spend online, you can also limit the web sites that they visit by using the "Block Web Sites" feature, where you simply type in the web site addresses (also known as URLs). For example: www.myspace.com. Or alternatively, simply list the sites that are safe for your children to visit by using the "Allowed Web Sites" feature.
Parents can also use the "Keywords" feature to filter out unwanted language and rude discourse from email and instant messaging exchanges. Another tool for parents to employ is the image analysis, which will help prevent inappropriate photos being displayed to young people
Of course, these tools have a limited scope regarding the prevention of cyberbullying. Nothing can take the place of an attentive and responsive parent when a child is bullied, either online or offline. Also, be sure that your child is not victimizing other children by bullying them, the same way they are being bullied.

Finding George Whitesides is often tricky even for George Whitesides. So he keeps an envelope in his jacket pocket. "I don't actually know where I am in general until I look at it," he says, "and then I find that I'm in Terre Haute, and then the question really is, 'What's next?'" During a recent stretch, the envelope revealed that he was in Boston, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, Delhi, Basel, Geneva, Boston, Copenhagen, Boston, Seattle, Boston, Los Angeles and Boston.
From This Story
Related Content
The reason Boston shows up so frequently, although not as often as his wife prefers, is that Whitesides is a professor of chemistry at Harvard University, and Boston Logan is his home airport. The reason for all the other cities is that Whitesides' contributions to science range into biology, engineering, physiology, materials science, physics and, especially these days, nanotechnology. Other scientists, government leaders, inventors and investors worldwide want to hear from him.
Whitesides' inventions and ideas have spawned more than a dozen companies, including drug giant Genzyme. No Harvard lab comes close to matching the number of patents attached to his name—"approximately 90," he says. The citation "GM Whitesides" shows up more frequently in academic papers than that of nearly any other chemist in history.
So Whitesides is something like the Bono of science, though taller, more wiry and at age 70, less hirsute. A Scottish fisherman's cap almost always covers his head, even in front of an audience. He has a deep voice, with little hint of his native Kentucky. Lately that voice has been introducing audiences to a new nanotechnology project aimed at saving lives in the developing world. "What is the cheapest possible stuff that you could make a diagnostic system out of?" he asks. "Paper."
On a piece of paper no thicker or wider than a postage stamp, Whitesides has built a medical laboratory.
One day this past winter, Whitesides woke up in his own bed. By 9 a.m. he was in his office just off Harvard Yard. He wore his typical outfit: a pinstripe suit, white shirt, no tie. He set his fisherman's cap on a conference table in front of a bookshelf that held The Cell, Microelectronic Materials, Physical Chemistry, Advanced Organic Chemistry and Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
A text not on the shelf was No Small Matter: Science on the Nanoscale, a newly published coffee-table book by Whitesides and the science photographer Felice C. Frankel. It's about truly exotic things that appear to be very large but are exceptionally, absurdly, astoundingly small—nanotubes, quantum dots, self-assembling machines.
Nanotechnology is, simply defined, the science of structures measuring between 1 nanometer, or billionth of a meter, and 100 nanometers. (The prefix "nano" comes from the Greek word for dwarf.) Still, to most people, that definition isn't so simple. Trying to understand nanometers can rapidly induce crossed eyes. The sheet of paper these words are printed on is 100,000 nanometers thick—the diameter of a human hair, roughly the smallest object a person can see with unaided eyes. A bacterium sitting atop this paper is about 1,000 nanometers in diameter—microscopic. To see something only one nanometer in size was impossible until 1981, when two IBM physicists invented the first scanning tunneling microscope. Conventional microscopes use lenses to magnify whatever is in the line of sight. But scanning tunneling microscopes work more like a person reading Braille, moving across the surface of structures by using a tiny stylus. The physicists, who won a Nobel Prize a mere five years later, built a stylus with a tip that was just one atom across (less than one nanometer). As it moves, the stylus detects the material's structure by recording electrical feedback, and then the microscope translates the recordings into images.
Now that really small things—right down to individual atoms—could finally be seen, Whitesides and other chemists got very interested in nanoscale materials. And what they learned amazed them. Materials this small, it turns out, have unexpected properties—we were just clueless until we could see them up close. Molecules with different surfaces—surfaces that don't usually combine well, if at all—can suddenly bind. Glass, normally an insulator of electric currents, can conduct electricity. Materials that could not carry electric charges suddenly become semiconductors. The metal gold, in small enough particles, can appear red or blue.
"One of the fascinations of small things is that they turn out to be so alien, in spite of superficial similarities in shape or function to larger, more familiar relatives," Whitesides writes in his book. "Discovering these differences at the smallest scale is wonderfully engrossing, and using them can change (and has changed) the world."

We had a pleasant stay in the apartment. Very friendly owners and the flat is comfortable and well connected.
The flat is located in a very good position, near Alexandra Park and close to a bus stop from where you can easily reach the city centre. There is a car parking too.
The apartment is well furnished with new appliances.
The only annoying thing was the small sink in the bathroom with the hot water tap difficult to close.
The host John was very nice and accommodating with our check-in and check-out time.
We enjoyed our stay.
The apartment has good views to surrounding trees, it is clean and everything you need you have it. And most important, the host attended all our requests. He is really nice and helpful. Best regards Bruce!
A comfortable, cosy, family friendly flat, equipped with everything we needed during our stay.
Great location, near a park and the bus for the city centre.
Bruce is a very nice and attentive landlord, we'll definitely book again!
Bruce was an absolutely lovely host. He met us whenever it suited for us, check in and check out were as easy as possible and he made everything for us to feel comfortable. The apartment is as described, small but comfortable and one feels at home instantly.
We really appreciated it and I would definitely stay at Bruce's apartments again.
Bruce is a fantastic host, very helpful. the apartment was really great and cery confortable!
Very good. Bruce is a perfect host. The house is confortable and very nice.
Bruce is very kind. The flat is clean and full equipped with every thinkable cooking gear. The area around the flat is ok.
The bus connection (Line 85) to the city centre is really good. During the peak hours there will be a bus up to every 10 minutes.
We were very happy with this property. It was comfortable for us (a family of four) because our kids didn't mind sharing a double bed, and because of high ceilings it was light and airy as well as cosy. Bruce was very helpful and is serious about providing a good experience. The location was quiet but handy, there was no difficulty parking our hire car either behind the property or on the street, and we were especially pleased to find a Co-op supermarket just around the corner. A no-fuss experience, which is just the way we like it.

Dear Svend,
That's really great! Thank you so much for the demenstration of building new id combining the region (or subregion) with firm number. I am learning Stata and you really helped me.

This moment, I don't want to consider the differences of subregions.
So, I want to change the identity number such that I have uniquely
identified observations by the identifier variable a3 and year....
I am not sure what you want. You tell us that two different firms
in two different regions (a1) can have the same id number (a3). You
then consider it a problem that the same firm id occurs in several
times in a given year. From you sample data it seems that this
occurs because the same firm has a record for each year and subregion,
but you don't want to consider subregions.
If the problem is, as you describe, that the same firm id is used for
different firms in different regions, you could combine firm id (a3)
and region id (a1) to get a unique firm id. But first a couple of
1) In your attempts you -replace-d the original firm id by a modified
thus destroying the original information. This is dangerous behaviour.
2) In long id numbers you may get precision problems; use string
to prevent that (see http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/faq/longid.htm).
Here I construct the string variable -newid-; for the first observation
in the sample data it becomes "206141-450":
generate sa1=string(a1,"%03.0f")
generate sa3=string(a3,"%6.0f")
generate newid=sa3 + "-" + sa1
Hope this helps

General Course Requirements
- Hour Requirements
- Reporting Hours and Activities
- Learning Contracts or Clinical Evaluation Forms
- Grading
The Clinical Education Program offers 18 law clinics and externship courses. Course requirements vary based on the course or placement.
Hours Requirements
Each student is required to spend a certain number of hours per credit hour at the clinical placement each week during the semester. For law clinics taught by faculty members, this number is 3.5 hours per credit hour per week. For externships this number is 4 hours per credit hour per week. The hours stated are minimum requirements for the semester and must be attained before credit will be given for the course. The expected number of hours is as follows:
|Law Clinics*
|Credit hours
|Hours per week
|Required hours per semester
(13 weeks)
|Credit hours
|Hours per week
|Required hours per semester
(13 weeks)
In some weeks you will work more than your required number of hours, and in some weeks you may have conflicts that cause you to work less than the required number. If you work more, you may credit the additional hours against future shortages based on unforeseen or unusual circumstances. However, over the course of the semester you must work at least the required number of hours to receive credit for the course. In any event, competent, ethical lawyering involves balancing obligations and serving as a reliable member of the team. It is vitally important that your supervising attorneys/faculty members, legislators, and judges know they can count on you. This means you must anticipate potential problems and conflicts in your schedule, and plan ahead.
* These include: These include: Appellate; Children and Family Advocacy; Civil Rights; Community Justice & Mediation; Criminal Justice; Entrepreneurship and Intellectual Property; and Interdisciplinary Environmental; Juvenile Law and Justice; Low Income Taxpayer and Prosecution law clinics.
** These include: Congressional & Administrative Law Externship; Corporate Judicial Externship; Government Lawyering Externship; International Justice & Conflict Resolution Externship; Judicial Clerkship Externship; Lawyering Practice Externship; New York City Regulatory and Business Externship; Patent Law Externship; and Semester-in-Practice Externship. Each additional credit hour requires an additional 52 hours of work at your placement, and the total number of credit hours you will receive upon successful completion of your placement is determined at the time of registration.
Summer Session Hours Requirements
Summer clinical placements require the same total number of hours as clinical placements during the academic year. However, the summer session is only 10 weeks whereas a semester during the academic year is 13 weeks. Accordingly, summer clinical placements require a higher number of hours per credit hour per week:
|Summer Session Externships
|Credit hours
|Hours per week
|Required hours for summer
(10 weeks)
Reporting Hours and Activities
Your faculty instructor will explain where to record your clinical hours and how to report them, e.g., in 1/10th hour or 1/4th hour segments. Keep your time records current as you go through each working day. By doing so, you will not have to rely on your memory and you will not be faced with accumulated past-due forms.
Learning Contracts or Clinical Evaluation Forms
The clinics/externships utilize a variety of written materials to enhance communication, establish learning goals, and gain feedback. These materials include learning contracts, self-evaluation forms, placement-feedback forms, journaling and other reflective assignments, and course syllabi or memoranda identifying the objectives, assignments, expectations, and requirements for the course. Check with your faculty instructor for specific details regarding your clinic.
Direct- and close-supervision clinics are graded on a modified pass/fail basis (high pass/pass/low pass/fail). Externships, as well as supervised practica and research, are graded pass/fail.

2005 ESRB Investigation Conclusion
GTAGaming.com - Rockstar/Take2 News | @ 02:39 PM MDT | By rappo
After the heavy investigation of Rockstar's hidden scenes, brought in the game by the "Hot Coffee Mod," the conclusion has finally been announced, and, unfortunately, it's not looking bright for Rockstar or the Grand Theft Auto series.
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) announced today that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has changed the rating of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on all platforms from "Mature 17+" (M) to "Adults Only 18+" (AO) because of the so-called "hot coffee mod," an unauthorized third party modification that alters the retail version of the game. Take-Two cooperated fully with the ESRB's investigation.
As a result of the re-rating of the game, Take-Two is lowering guidance for the third fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2005 to $160 to $170 million in net sales and a net loss per share of $(0.40) to $(0.45) to provide reserves for the value of the title's current North American retail inventory. Accordingly, guidance for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2005 is also being lowered to $1.26 to $1.31 billion in net sales and $1.05 to $1.12 in diluted earnings per share.
The Take 2 Games announcement also states that "Rockstar Games to cease manufacture of current version of title and offer a downloadable patch to prevent modification of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC."
Although plenty of copies of the game have already been sold, this will definitely be a blow to the future sales of San Andreas and maybe even the mod community.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the affects have already hit...
It didn't take long for the effects of the rating to be felt. Late Wednesday, Target, and Best Buy issued press releases they were pulling all versions of San Andreas from shelve.
Unconfirmed reports had GameStop following suit, and Wal-Mart told CNN/Money that it had issued orders to all stores to stop selling the game. "We do not sell games that are rated AO," Wal-Mart spokesperson Karen Burk told the site.
UPDATE #2: Green18fan has brought to our attention a new article by Maddox, the famous ranter of the internet, that touches on the Hot Coffee contreversy. It's a hilarious article, and definitely worth a read. You can view that here.

Fashion & Basics
School Uniforms
When it comes to school uniforms, it's important to shop smart if you want to outfit your child for success. Look for durable, well constructed pieces that will resist tough stains and stand up to work and play throughout the school year. Double-layered knees and double stitching make pieces more durable, and wrinkle-resistant and no-iron fabrics make it easier for you to keep your child looking good. Scotchguard helps prevent stains from setting and makes them easier to remove. To keep your child comfortable throughout the day, you may also want to look for tagless uniforms with adjustable waists or collars.
To get the most out of your child's uniforms, it's also important to care for them properly. Read and follow care labels carefully. Spot-treat stains with laundry pretreater as soon as possible, and wash with cold water when possible to protect colors. Using a lower temperature setting on your dryer will help keep fabrics looking newer. It's also a good idea to change your child into play clothes and hang up their uniform as soon as they get home from school.
With a great selection of quality uniforms and other children's clothing at Every Day Low Prices, Walmart has your back-to-school needs covered. Save money. Live better.

What I did
Muir Woods National Monument
Today, Muir Woods is the only old-growth coastal redwood forest in the San Francisco Bay area and one of the last on the planet. The trees that grow under these giants are called understory plants and they must adjust to the low light conditions in order to survive. Some trees adapt by growing big leaves to try to catch the sunlight, while others bend and twist towards any available light source.

Stop Minnesota Insurance Exchange
While peaceful demonstrators stood on the steps of our state capitol on Tuesday, Jan. 22, in solidarity over the sanctity of life, a very different story was happening under their noses as lawmakers met to discuss the Minnesota Insurance Exchange (part of Obamacare).
Attending that meeting I noted a certain frenzy to pass the "data" section out of committee by the Democrat members — without any legal guidelines for the appeals process for eligibility and determination or any money available to maintain it.
The money for the exchange would come from withholding up to 3.5 percent of our insurance premiums and as for any appeals, we were told to just trust the government.
There was confusion as to what private information would be required. However, that confusion doesn't really matter because last May section HHS 153.340 dealing with Obamacare went into effect. Medical record databases will be developed to implement what policy experts call "risk adjustment methodologies," under the guise that health risk factors be distributed across the insurance pool.
The state, or HHS, will be collecting our medical records. Where did doctor patient confidentiality go? Where's HIPAA? The type of information to be confiscated include individual diagnoses, the type of care provided, the names of the health-care providers seen, dollars paid, out-of-pocket liabilities, demographic data and encrypted Social Security number.
HHS claims our records will be de-identified and researchers will be allowed access. I question what the intent of the research is.
Allowing such a database to be created could be a back door to greater government control. Collection of our medical records has nothing to do with insuring the uninsured.
Our state leaders need to take a close look at what is good for Minnesotans. The folks in St. Paul need to stop the Minnesota Insurance Exchange in its tracks.

text: Hey guys!!! Next weekend I am going to be insalling a 1.5" body lift on my 07 NBS Silverado. I was considering doing a write-up on the installation. I also was considering making a video of the insall. Would anybody want to see that? Would anybody rather have a write-up or a video? I have done a lot of searching to see how people have handled moving the brush guard up with the 1.5" kit but I havent found anything out on the web, so I thought it might be helpful to show how to do that. Also include before and after shots in the video. This will be my first write-up/video so any suggestion of what you guys would be looking for would be helpful. Oh yea, I can't wait to show off all my mods I havent shown you guys yet. Ive added tow mirrors, ranch hand brush guard and grey fender flares that match the two tone and the rims!!! Again let me know what you think about a write-up. I'm really excited to do it!1

Locked-in mind becomes a butterfly
Original post made by MovieGoer, Portola Valley: Ladera, on Jan 1, 2008
I just saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and I'm sure it will haunt me for some time. It's based on a true story about a 40-something French magazine superstar who has a stroke that leaves him in "locked-in syndrome" -- paralyzed completely except for the ability to blink one eye, but completely sound of mind. He wrote a memoir (with lots of help from an assistant) using a system in which he communicated by blinking his eye. But rather than being a bleak film about a horrifically disabled man, this movie is all about the power of the imagination, and the director, the painter Julian Schnabel, creates a film of high art that taps deep emotion. There's also a wicked wittiness that I didn't expect in such a potentially depressing film. Funny thing is, this film wasn't the least bit depressing.
I'm eager to hear others' thoughts about this extraordinary film. Also, does anyone have any other Oscar-quality recommendations for films showing now? I'm really curious about Orphanage and No Country for Old Men. Any comments about these or others?

I see "No Country for Old Men" as being in a category by itself. It's a deeply cynical commentary on a drug-infested border town in which the cops are tokens, life is cheap, depravity is just around the corner, and the good guys never win.
It's not a movie. The plot is so thin as to almost not be there. It's a day-in-the-life rant that has nothing redeeming to offer. The acting is great and you can't look away and it stays with you for weeks, like the stink that comes after a long physical ordeal in which there is no opportunity to bathe.
I left this "performance" and couldn't wait to go to a movie with a plot so as to wash "No Country" out of my mind. The Coen brothers have an affinity for depraved and mindless violence for the sake of being depraved and mindless.
It deserves to be ignored for the main Oscar categories. There are too many other good movies out there, including ones that showcase unreasonably violent behavior: "There will be Blood," "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," and "Michael Clayton," and "The Valley of Elah."

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:41 pm on June 2, 2014 by Allahpundit
A Pentagon investigation concluded in 2010 that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl walked away from his unit, and after an initial flurry of searching the military decided not to exert extraordinary efforts to rescue him, according to a former senior defense official who was involved in the matter…
Questions persisted, too, about the circumstances of Bergdahl's 2009 capture. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel declined to comment on earlier reports that the sergeant had walked away from his unit, disillusioned with the war. Such matters "will be dealt with later," Hagel said…
Hagel, visiting troops in Afghanistan, was met with silence when he told a group of them in a Bagram Air Field hangar: "This is a happy day. We got one of our own back."
At a private Army promotion ceremony in Washington in late 2012, a general discussed how he and a subordinate officer had helped lead search efforts in eastern Afghanistan with an infantry battalion at the time Bergdahl disappeared. "He left our organization and went over to the other side," the general told the small audience at the closed reception, which was attended by an ABC News reporter…
A former senior military Special Forces advisor who was in Afghanistan and directly involved in efforts to mount a rescue mission for Bergdahl told ABC News there was anger and frustration after Bergdahl's capture because soldiers were being asked to risk their lives to save a man who allegedly "was disillusioned and walked off base."…
The Special Forces operator who spoke to ABC News said his team near Kabul was sent to the decrepit outpost near Ghazni to "stir up intel" on Bergdahl's whereabouts.
"When he left he had his knife, his compass, his bottle of water. That's what the 25th Infantry Division guys said to us," the Special Forces operator told ABC News Sunday. "We were all pissed off. We were going to go out there and search every building to find this kid."
Republican lawmakers angered by a White House deal to swap five Taliban prisoners for a captured U.S. soldier in Afghanistan on Monday demanded hearings over why the Obama administration reached the agreement without consulting Congress…
Texas Representative Mac Thornberry, vice chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, said: "The president violated a provision of law in not giving Congress advanced notice. And while you can always argue that, 'well, this was an emergency, he needed to act quickly,' this pattern of violating the law is also a danger to national security."…
A source close to Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai's palace in Kabul said Karzai was angry at being kept in the dark about the deal. "The president is now even more distrustful of U.S. intentions in the country," said the source, who declined to be identified.
Mullah Mohammad Fazl, the Taliban's deputy defense minister, is so senior in the Taliban hierarchy that he once threatened the Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Omar. Fazl has "operational associations with significant al-Qaida and other extremist personnel," and "If released, [Fazl] would likely rejoin the Taliban and establish ties with anti-Coalition militias (ACM) participating in hostilities against US and Coalition forces in Afghanistan."…
Mullah Khirullah Said Wali Khairkhwa, once the Taliban's interior minister, was "directly associated to Usama Bin Laden (UBL) and Taliban Supreme Commander Mullah Muhammad Omar" and was "trusted and respected by both." After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he "represented the Taliban during meetings with Iranian officials seeking to support hostilities against US and Coalition forces" and "attended a meeting at the direction of UBL, reportedly accompanied by members of HAMAS." He is "one of the premier opium drug lords in Western Afghanistan" and was likely "associated with a militant training camp in Herat operated by deceased al-Qaida commander (in Iraq) Abu Musab al-Zarqawi."…
These Taliban leaders are supposed to remain in Qatar, subject to security measures, including a one-year travel ban. Assuming that they abide by the terms of their release, they will be free to return to Afghanistan and take up arms against the United States on June 1, 2015. They will be welcomed back to the battlefield as jihadist heroes, and their reemergence after more than a decade in captivity will be a massive boost in morale for America's enemies.
The argument will be made that he wasn't worth saving, especially given what we had to give up. Hastings cites "White House sources" as telling him that Marc Grossman, Richard Holbrooke's successor as AfPak coordinator, "was given a direct warning by the president's opponents in Congress about trading Bowe for five Taliban prisoners during an election year. 'They keep telling me it's going to be Obama's Willie Horton moment,' Grossman warned the White House."
Can Republicans make this resonate outside their base? Hard to say. I think to most Americans, this is a feel-good story. We value a life, one American life. Bibi Netanyahu traded one captive Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, not for five Palestinian prisoners. He traded Shalit for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners. And there was broad agreement across the spectrum of Israeli politics that bringing Shalit to safety, even at that price, was the right thing to do.
But of course, that doesn't matter to the right. No one outside their base cares much about Benghazi, but that hasn't stopped them. They'll keep pursuing Benghazi mostly to see if they can pin anything on Hillary, but when it comes to wet impeachment dreams, Benghazi may have just been pushed to the back seat. The crazy never stops.
"It gets really hurtful when I think, this guy was worth my son's life? My son who was patriotic? Who was a true soldier? Who defended his country with his life?" Andrews told Army Times via phone on Monday. "That guy was worth that? I don't think so."
Andrews also was upset to hear the U.S. government agreed to release five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bergdahl's freedom.
"I bet you anything there were soldiers killed or wounded capturing those five guys," she said. "So what does that do for their sacrifice? They sacrificed for nothing, because they turned right around and let them go."

Pulaski Technical College, several local organizations and new homeowners Karen Baker and Kenya Waller recently celebrated the opening of two homes on Schaer Street in downtown North Little Rock that were constructed by students in the Pulaski Tech Construction Management Technology and YouthBuild programs.
Construction of the homes was financed with a grant from Metropolitan National Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. Other partners included Argenta Community Development Corporation, City of North Little Rock, North Little Rock Community Development Agency and the North Little Rock Housing Authority.
Dr. Dan F. Bakke, college president, said Pulaski Tech established the YouthBuild program two years ago in conjunction with the college's Construction Technology program to provide students with an opportunity to give back to the community and to offer hands-on training in a variety of construction fields.
In YouthBuild, unemployed and undereducated young people ages 16-24 work toward their GED or high school diploma while learning construction skills by building affordable housing for homeless and low-income people. Strong emphasis is placed on leadership development, community service and the creation of a positive mini-community of adults and youth committed to success.
"The college is not in the real estate business," Bakke said, "so we partner with community organizations such as Argenta Community Development Corporation and the North Little Rock Housing Authority to find families to purchase the homes at an affordable price."
Students also have completed two single-family homes on Alpha Street in Rose City and 16th Street in the Baring Cross neighborhood.

Did you notice yesterday that Canty, Boley, and Bradshaw had nothing but nice things to say about the GIANTS after they were let go?
Meanwhile every jet that leaves, even some coaches, cannot not stop talking about how bad the locker room was or how bad Tebow was?
We have a winning environment in our organization and handle everything the right way and treat everyone with respect, and make sure everyone understands that the team is what matters.
I am so glad we have people like Coughlin and Reese running the show for the Mara's and Tisch's.
I know we came up short this year, but Canty Boley and Bradshaw enforced what we knew to be good about the GIANTS.

Helping hands
Charitable campaign extended to Sept. 30
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Associate Director of Public Affairs
(Sept. 23, 2005)--Albert Carrisalez, UTSA's 2005 State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) chair, conducted an SECC President's Advisory Committee meeting Wednesday, Sept. 21 to update members on the success of the campaign to date. At that time, 23 UTSA departments could boast 100-percent participation in the campaign -- which means everyone in the participating departments contributed something to SECC.
With an extended deadline of 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, Carrisalez encourages all UTSA employees who have not yet donated to SECC to consider giving to help boost the UTSA participation rate. Higher participation means more people will be helped. Additionally, SECC donations are a great way to help hurricane victims.
