Street flooding widespread after weekend monsoon
Highway 86 closed between Kiowa and I-70
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Flash flooding, dangerous lightning, large hail, and the threat of tornadoes made for a wild weekend of weather in eastern Colorado.
Deep puddles and washed out roads made travel difficult across the region Saturday night. Eastbound I-70 is closed at Tower Road because of heavy rain, and Highway 86 is closed in both directions between I-70 and Kiowa. C-DOT says the closure is due to flooding and road damage. There is no estimate on when either road will re-open.
KRDO NewsChannel 13 viewers in both Colorado Springs and Pueblo were reporting street flooding Saturday night. Drivers are advised to avoid large puddles and running water. StormTracker 13 Chief Meteorologist Matt Meister says the best way to stay safe is to remember the slogan "Turn around, don't drown." The water may not look deep, but looks can be deceiving, and it only takes a little bit of fast moving water to move a car.
From Wyoming to New Mexico and the Front Range to Kansas, it seems no area was spared. Except the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest Fire burn scars where no significant flooding had been reported as of late Saturday night.
Street flooding was widespread across the Colorado Springs and Pueblo areas as storms, at times severe, moved slowly across the two metro areas. Tornado Warnings that were issued northeast of Colorado Springs Saturday evening have been cancelled. There are no reports of any tornadoes having touched down in El Paso County.
The flooding rains were accompanied by baseball sized hail and reports of 6 tornadoes in northeastern Colorado. There are unconfirmed reports that some homes in Weld County had their roofs blown off, according to KMGH.
While Sunday's weather is not expected to be quite as severe, there are thunderstorms in the forecast once again. Click here for your updated StormTracker 13 forecast, Live HD Doppler Radar, and our network of live cameras.

Great tut. What foot were you using? - looked like it rode the edge perfectly.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Great tut. What foot were you using? - looked like it rode the edge perfectly.
I was hoping to see something finished after going through all the posts ....I noticed this thread was started quite awhile ago, what did everyone make with the templates. They look very interesting.
thanks for the tut.
Just passing through!
HEY YOU GUYS!!! Where are the pics!!!!!!!
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.
Thank you so much for this tute and info on where to order. Just placed my order and hope to soon get started on this.
WOW! Just think of all those hexagons that i have been English Paper Piecing....and i still have to layer it and quilt it! I wish i would have seen this. I will definitely show this to my friend that just asked me to show her how to to hexagons like mine. She says, 'do you mean i have to hand stitch them?' She will be pleasantly suprised!
I love grandmother's garden quilts and this looks like a fun way to do a quilt as you go!
that is soooooooooooooooo neat! thanks for sharing!
Grum from N.J.
Wow...This template looks awesome. For those of you that have bought one, did you make a quilt with it? was it as easy as it looks?
Just browsing thru the various links on the board and came across your tute and have a finishing question. How do you join the hexies together, by machine or whipstitch like you do the GFG?
Also would love to see a picture of it finished, what did you make using this method?
Happy Quilting

From what I could tell, the concept drawings for the next Sentra were pretty cool. Of course, there's no guarantee at all that the car will look like that. But if it does, it will be pretty nice.As far as the Versa goes, I wasn't expecting much from the sedan, I'm still awaiting to see what the hatch looks like (they haven't shown that yet, have they?). I still think they should make an SE-R with either the Juke's engine (even detuned slightly, 160hp would be enough). I'd say the 2.5L Sentra SE-R/Altima coupe engine with 175ish hp, but that engine is a little big.

A batch of run-down houses have been bought for the second season of TV3's do-up series The Block, the Weekend Herald can reveal.
The three homes are in a prime location on three sections on Lake Rd, directly opposite Takapuna Grammar School in the suburb of Belmont.
One of the sections will be subdivided and a fourth house moved on to the property.
Since the first season finished in September, hundreds of Auckland real estate agents from "the big five" agencies - L.J. Hooker, Barfoot & Thompson, Harcourts, Bayleys and Ray White - have been battling against each other to find four suitable properties for the show in a bid to win bragging rights.
But they have struggled with the city's lack of supply.
The houses had to be standalone, of similar size, on large sections in a popular suburb, reasonably priced and either next-door or directly opposite from each other.
Bayleys, which marketed the first season's properties, found the houses but Takapuna residential manager Hayden Stanaway said the buyer had asked for confidentiality on the sale.
A source said: "Following the huge success of the show last year, every real estate agent in Auckland wanted a slice of the action to be associated with The Block brand.
"But the scarcity of suitable properties, in conjunction with a highly fuelled Auckland property market, meant that there was nothing around."
Eyeworks production company bought the properties, but its head Julie Christie refused to confirm details when contacted by the Weekend Herald yesterday.
"We've got options to purchase houses all over Auckland," she said.
"Whatever you guys think you know, the only thing I can guarantee is you've probably got no idea. These shows are all about their twists."
Auckland Council records show a resource consent application for the subdivision has been lodged. The sale prices have not yet been registered but the houses are likely to have sold for well-above their outdated council valuations, which ranged from $510,000 to $670,000.
The homes are near the four Anzac St houses that featured in the first series of the show. The winning home - the house that sold for the most - went for $961,000 in a live auction that drew in more than one million viewers. The price was $157,00 above the reserve.
Brother and sister team Ben and Libby Crawford took home the profit made and an $80,000 prize.
TV3 is casting for the next series, in which four teams of two will compete to renovate the run-down houses room by room, week by week.
Ms Christie said several teams had applied, mainly married couples, but producers were after different combinations, such as a father and daughter team or two best friends.


text: I did my first cut out a bit ago. I put most of the brood comb and some honey in new frames and added that to the hive. The queen was on one of the brood pieces when I put it in. A few days later I went back to check on it and no bees at all. Apparently they didn't like their new quarters and just left. Why do they do that?

Jul 17, 2012 at 10:17 am #1292076
Tim KlausMember
@wwhermitLocale: So Cal
I'm ready to take the plunge on a tarptent, but am having trouble deciding between the Double Rainbow and the StratoSpire 2.
For those that have one, or have had both, I'd like some input. There are 2 main deciding factors for me.
1) The trekking poles I hike with are not adjustable. They are fixed at 120 cm. This will impact my ability to "tweak" the setup for proper pitch.
2) I'm also looking for which tarptent will give me better rain and wind protection, mainly from wind and rain sneaking in under the fly. For those that have owned either of these, has this been a problem?
Thanks for the input, folks!Jul 17, 2012 at 4:50 pm #1895510

@francoLocale: Tarptent
hi Tim,
It depends a lot on how you perceive space.
The DR is a rather compact double . Having the two doors vestibules allows you to have a pack under each vestibule and not trip over your partner so it isn't all that cramped (if you don't have 2 6'4" 250lbs guys in it…)
nevertheless not that large either.
The SS2 has a lot of space inside the floor as well as very large vestibules.
So particularly on the sides there is a lot of space between the fly and the floor to reduce the chance of wind driven rain hitting the inner.
Set at 120cm it looks like this :
as you can see there is a very small gap at the bottom of the fly.
If you are still worried about wind, you will be able soon (a week or two) to order the "solid' (fabric inner)
Looks like this :
BTW I have used the SS2 in wind driven rain . It did just fine (IE I was dry, others there not so much)
This is the correct position for the guylines (E and W)
(there is a clip of the SS2 on the Net in the wind with those guylines set up in the wrong place…)
(I look after TT in Australia…)Jul 17, 2012 at 7:44 pm #1895558
Dan DurstonBPL Member
@dandydanLocale: Cascadia
I can't speak to the DR, but the fly on the SS2 comes quite close to the ground. It's nice and provides good protection from wind/drafts entering the tent. In terms of rain, both tents use the same materials and should be equally waterproof. In rainy conditions you tend to get more condensation than in dry conditions, so the SS2 would handle this a bit better as it's a full double wall instead of a partial double wall. You can add a liner to the DR to make it essentially a full double wall too.
In terms of standing up to high winds, I consider the SS2 to be adequately sturdy. I'm sure if you had a tent shoot out in 80mph winds on some alpine ridge then the SS2 wouldn't end up the winner, but it's a solid design that's going to be fine pitched anywhere 98% of the time and if you're really in rough conditions then just put a bit of thought into pitching it in a more sheltered spot.
I've never needed to adjust the height of my trekking poles in the night. Even if the fabric did sag a lot, I could just adjust the tension on the ridgeline guyout lines instead. I normally set my poles at 48" (122cm) when I pitch my SS2, so I think 120cm would be just fine.Jul 18, 2012 at 10:13 am #1895694
Tim KlausMember
@wwhermitLocale: So Cal
Great information from both of you, thanks.
Franco, do you have any specs for the SS2 with the partial wall, particularly the weight?Jul 18, 2012 at 11:18 am #1895710
Yes 1000Member
I'm almost on the verge of ordering SS1 and certainly want raised solid wall for cold draftand privacy reason.
However looking at the images on TT's website, I believe TT has raised the partial wall way too much IMO. They should have reduced it by 4-5 inches to keep people inside the tent be aware of what is happening outside and still protected from cold drafts. even with traditional light weight tents we don't see the so little mesh.
Issue with this extended wall is that you can't take a look at outside while laying down, may be this way TT wanted to deny buyers best of both worlds :) and shell out $100 more to get both partial soild and mesh tent and very good business decision by TT.
I emailed TT on customizing the tent and lowering the solid wall but they replied back telling they can't do it. I am now sitting on the fence contemplating what next.Jul 18, 2012 at 3:21 pm #1895769
Franco DarioliBPL Member
@francoLocale: Tarptent
I think that the solid inner is about 2 oz heavier.
The total weight can change a bit with every production run so keep in mind that it is always approximate..

This is a small clip from my project... Hope you guys like it..
This is a small clip from my project... Hope you guys like it..
If being in too big a box demoralizes bees, why do small bait swarms move into big boxes?
Good question. I've had small swarms the size of a softball move into a 10 frame medium. I guess their self esteem was so low they wanted to punish themselves.
Odfrank You would have to ask Don, I am actually starting out myself but from what I understand he has been a beekeeper for quite a long time, quite respected and from what I understand his students do very well... I have seen something similar with top bar hive keepers. There have seen a few video's on youtube where they have said when setting up a top bar hive for the first time to use your divider boards and only provide 5 to 6 frames for the bee's to build on at first and then add more a little at a time.
Charlie, from what I have read from bush and various others is that a Swarm is in a completely different mindset than an already established hive or say if you are splitting one. Also again from what I have read Swarms can draw comb several times faster. So I would assume that would be the difference.
Not trying to argue Naymond, I love the Fat Beeman's videos and I think you're in good hands with him. This is just a new term I've never heard of, "demoralizing"?
Hey Don, explain how/why you came up with this?
Oh I don't think you were arguing. Heheheheh the world would be a boring place without a little humor. I was just saying that was the only difference I could think of. I will definitely ask him tomorrow though because I wondered the same thing, I have a four hour drive to finish up my shot list and make sure I can cover as many subjects as I can think of.
If he doesn't answer soon I will make sure to get him to explain it all on the video. I was hoping to be able to shoot saturday AND sunday but I had forgotten that my daughter has a school band concert on sunday so I will have to just video tape him from morning til night. I know he wants to cover a lot of stuff so it will be interesting to see how it all goes. I am taking a tripod with me this time too.
Well good luck and have fun!


text: From day one I heard that the psycho had in fact left the Ar15 in his car and it was not used in the shooting. I am now sure that this is a fact. The media lied. Period. Why then,is there so much hub-bub about a gun that wasnt even used? We need to inform everyone we meet of this fact. Get the word out. Most folks I see still think he went on his shooting spree with an AR15. The liberal media has pushed this lie from the first reports. If someone has a link please post. I may have missed it here as I been without power for awhile. maybe this will work Investigation is 'very complex' - Video on TODAY.com

Schools Teach for Mastery
In these mission-driven charter secondary schools, students are expected to work hard and learn; there is no social promotion. For their part, teachers are expected to do more than just cover the curriculum and engender student's basic understanding. They are expected to help students gain mastery.
At SEED, middle school students who are unable to meet the ninth-grade "gate" skills are offered an additional "growth" year to continue working on building their skills in middle school. At MATCH, ninth-graders must pass proficiency exams in reading, writing, and math, with four opportunities to pass the exam. If after four tries students still do not pass reading at a 9–10 grade level, math at 90 percent proficiency and writing at 70 percent proficiency, they are retained and additional academic support is provided.
Remediation and acceleration. Supporting students to be successful in academically rigorous studies is the core work for these schools. As one administrator of a four-year high school says of his school, the first two years are focused on remediation and acceleration to bring students who are academically below grade level up to proficiency and also focused on training students to develop study skills and fill in academic skill gaps. The second two years are focused then on preparation for college. At SEED, the middle school program is seen as the place for remediation and acceleration, preparing students to start the high school program performing on grade level. While extensive tutoring is available at all these schools, there is also great awareness among all members of the school community that students need to become independent, self-regulated learners if they are to succeed in higher education.
At these schools, if learning requires more time, more time is provided. All have developed longer school days or school years and some have added summer and weekend academics. MATCH, as an example, requires 100 hours of weekend tutoring for all 10th-graders in math, English, and biology (provided by Boston-area undergraduates). The tutors develop "tutoring plans" that build on their knowledge of their students (in part from regular assessment) and are tied to teachers' weekly lesson plans. A sample weekly schedule for a MATCH sophomore (see fig. 5) illustrates a three-pronged approach to supporting students' academic development: more time in classes (in this case, a 10-and-a-half-hour school day), a doubling up of classes in targeted areas (in this case, algebra and geometry), and regular and frequent tutoring.
Some of the schools have a traditional schedule with 50-minute classes; others use a block schedule with 90- or 100-minute classes; and some use a combination of the two. Like all decisions made at these schools, class scheduling depends on the school mission and focus. For example, MATCH has a school day that includes a two-hour block of time for students to work on their major academic subjects with help from their MATCH tutor, with teacher "walk-arounds" built in to ensure a close connection between the teaching curriculum and tutoring sessions. During this two-hour block, 9th- and 10th-graders work on English and math; 11th-graders work on AP U.S. history and SAT math, reading, and writing; and 12th-graders work on AP calculus, biology, or literature, along with the course work from their classes at Boston University.
Data-driven teaching. In these profiled schools, lessons plans are considered dynamic documents that are open to revision as teachers regularly assess students for understanding (formally and informally) and reteach as needed. North Star has developed a multifaceted data-analysis and instructional-planning process to support teachers in using assessments to understand student needs. Students are assessed against learning standards every six to eight weeks, with the results disaggregated by individual standard and by individual student, but also aggregated by standard for the entire class. The results are given to teachers in an easy-to-read spreadsheet (see fig. 6).
Once the test results are available, North Star's principal meets with each teacher and, together, they analyze the data to identify what students or groups of students did not learn the standard and, therefore, need additional instruction, whether through small group work, tutoring, or acceleration. Then, still working together, they plan how the teacher will differentiate instruction and what other forms of support might be helpful in enabling students to achieve to the standard(s).
Fig. 6: North Star Assessment Report for Data-driven Algebra Instruction (Excerpt With Names Masked to Protect Student Privacy)
These schools are relentless in their efforts to advance student learning and do not rely exclusively on differentiated instruction but also consider the larger context if appropriate. At Preuss, when data showed that students were not achieving well in math, the teachers reexamined the curriculum scope and sequence, lowered the class size to 15, and added two tutors. So now in the eighth-grade algebra class, there are two tutors and one teacher for 15 students, which means each adult can sit with five students at each of the three tables to work closely with them on math concepts.

The winter solstice is a time of joy and merriment. It's a time to visit family, renew old friendships, and commune in a spirit of love, brotherhood and sisterhood with our fellow Homo sapiens. It's no wonder, then, that this season has produced some of the most angst-filled music ever heard, and no one knows how to throw down the angst like a geek.
The irony is that, rather than being depressing, these songs can actually cheer you up far more than any saccharine gooey sweetness from Amy Grant or Josh Groban. Listening to these songs I'm thinking, "Hey, at least my life's not as bad as this guy's."
So to help brighten your otherwise tense holidays, I offer these 10 little bittersweet chocolate nuggets.
1. 'Chiron Beta Prime' — Jonathan Coulton
Jonathan Coulton's homage to those "let me catch you up on the family" holiday letters ties an unexpected twist when the family in question has been sequestered to an asteroid by our robot overlords. "Chiron Beta Prime" was originally written around Christmastime 2004 as a "Christmas song with a futuristic theme" for a friend to send out on a CD as a holiday card. It was officially released in 2006 as part of Coulton's famous "Thing a Week" collection, which were all "open source" songs, allowing Mike Spiff Booth to make this nifty video.
2. 'Post Apocalypse Christmas' — Gruff Rhys
"Post Apocalypse Christmas" is part of former Super Furry Animals front man Gruff Rhys' album "Atheist Xmas EP," out this week.

I have written in this blog how the Golden State's largest corporation, Chevron, is facing increasing scrutiny over human rights abuses and the environmental impacts of its operations around the globe. As has been well reported Chevron is facing its biggest liability in Ecuador - where the company is facing a $27 billion lawsuit over its responsibility for billions gallons of toxic waste dumped into the Amazon rainforest.
Documents presented this week at a U.S. federal court detail the systemic pollution from Texaco's oil operations in the area (Chevron acquired Texaco in 2001) and the necessity of a full scale clean up. That's right. While preparing to depart Ecuador after almost three decades of operations, the company commissioned independent audits of the environmental impacts of its operations in the region. Although somewhat technical, you can read the audits here and here.
Here are some highlights from Chevron's (then Texaco) own audits: "[Texaco's] operation included the intentional burning of crude oil from spills and contained in pits. This operation usually created large amounts of black smoke and soot that can potentially impair the environment and human health."
"All twenty-two production stations are currently, or have at some time, discharged oily produced water to the environment and flared excess gas. The stations have produced a total of approximately 1.4 billion barrels of oil, 250 million cubic feet of gas and 375 million barrels of produced water during the period 1964 to 1990."
"The audit identified hydrocarbon contamination requiring remediation at all production facilities and a majority of the drill sites."
"Produced water (which contains carcinogens and toxic heavy metals) is being discharged to the environment in all cases." "Produced waste is then passed through a series of open, unlined pits. The remaining oil emulsion and produced water is discharged into a local creek or river or in some instances directly into the jungle...Produced water has historically not been tested prior to disposal..."
"Contamination of soil and water was observed at well sites, production stations and along roadways, flowlines and secondary pipelines." "Workover, completion wastes, salt solutions and oil/water emulsions have historically been disposed of into well site pits. ... Little maintenance has reportedly been done on any of the pits at the well sites."
These documents say two things. One, if Chevron is genuinely digging for truth, they are only going to find more evidence that shows one thing: they are guilty.
Two, these documents not only illustrate Chevron's liability; they demonstrate the company's knowledge of this liability when they acquired Texaco. Usually, Expert analysis paid for by the liable company does not just slip though the cracks when purchasing that company for $36 billion.
Chevron knew what they where going to be responsible for and they schemed a plan when they purchased Texaco to try to evade that responsibility. So how will Chevron try to deny this round of evidence? They've already used up spy cams, real spies, a dozen PR firms, and faux newscasts. There isn't much left for Chevron to do...except the right thing. Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/rtarbotton/detail?entry_id=71574#ixz... [2]

[Article]-Microsoft Office Space: A SQL With Flair - Answers and Winners
Permanent link: [Article]-Microsoft Office Space: A SQL With Flair - Answers and Winners
Thanks again to Tom, Ed and the folks at Intelguardians. Tom has plowed through all of the entries and has picked out the best technical and the best creative answer. And as always the fancy coin toss has produced yet another lucky random winner. All three will get signed copipes of Ed and Tom's book, Counter Hack Reloaded.
Tom, never one to be predictable, has a new way of presenting the answers. As fans of our Skillz Challenges know, the author usually presents his answers and then reveals the winners. In fact, the last time Tom revealed answers, he did it all in rhyme (Netcat in the Hat)! But this time, we had such a thoroughly great answer submitted by the creative winner, that Tom felt it was better than anything he could put together. Read on using the permanent link above to see just how good this one is.

Non-profit needs volunteers to build shed
ABINGDON, Va. - Appalachian Sustainable Development (ASD) has purchased a shed kit to hold garden supplies and materials, but they don't have anyone to build the shed.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact Sylvia Crum at ASD:
Office: (276) 623-1121
The mission of Appalachian Sustainable Development is to create, promote and expand economically viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible opportunities to help improve the lives and the health of our local communities and ecosystems.
ASD works to educate, advocate and share lessons learned on sustainable development locally, regionally and nationally to advance local and regional food systems.
ASD plans to use the shed to store garden tools, soils, gloves, wheel barrows and more. It will include all the things ASD needs to sow, grow and harvest food for our neighbors in need.
The shed will be ASD's supply building to hold all the materials for the group's "Grow your Own" garden project 2013.
"Last year in Washington County VA, we had a "Grow your Own" pilot project and 23 families grew an amazing 8,371 pounds of fresh, healthy produce to feed themselves and a neighbor!" said ASD Communications and Development Director Sylvia Crum. "And the needs are growing. This year we plan to work with 30 families, so we gotta get cracking."
The shed will be located at Ecumenical Faith in Action in Abingdon, where a few thousand families stop on Mondays and Tuesdays to pick up their food from the food pantry there.
This is also where ASD has their "Grow your Own" training garden.
"We have found that many of the families that are food bank/pantry recipients are also excellent candidates for our "Grow your Own" program," said Crum. "These folks just need a little encouragement and empowerment to provide for themselves. So families come to get their food and also participate in garden training, tech support classes, as well as pick up their supplies and materials."
ASD is looking for 10-15 people over a 2-3 day period. No experience is necessary. Please bring your own tools if you have them.

A general 'howdy!'
Since all of the questions I had about my 'security roadmap' are already answered plenty elsewhere, I figured I might aswell just introduce myself.
This seems an appropriate place, as some other fresh peeps did the same here :-)
I came in contact with EHN while Googling for OSCP reviews, and I found the one by Ryan Linn quite perfect - cheers Ryan! I'm saving up some Euro's and going to give it a try as soon as possible!
A bit about myself:
Security has been a fascination for me since I was about 13, and I've been reading up about it ever since. It's also the reason why I went for IT engineer in college. My knowledge of security and hacking is mostly theoretical though, and I'm anxious to get my hands dirty.
I'm in my early 20's now and recently joined the working population of Belgium. Trying to gain as much experience and knowledge as I can at the moment as a Software Engineer, working on network monitoring and traffic generation. Seriously interesting stuff, I hope it gives me a good foundation for a career in network- and/or software security.
Anyway, apoligies for the elaborate intro :-) Thanks for the knowledge I gathered from your articles arlready, I hope I can make an appropriate contribution back to the EHN community.
Blog: https://synquell.wordpress.com (not much there yet)
The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.

@toddarcher: Tony Romo's new cap # this year - $11.818m. Saves $5m of space this year
Now they got enough space to sign their draft picks. His cap hit over the next couple years will probably be about 25 million a year.. LMAO
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
The tone of this thread seems strange. I mean, based on reports he was free to walk in 2014, and I much would have preferred that. He can't win the big one? So what? He's made us look stupid, and I'd prefer playing Kyle Orton than risk losses that could impact our playoff chances.
Will it impact their cap? Sure. But I'd still sooner he go elsewhere. Sure, some people prefer the tougher road, but these last two season have taught every win and loss matters. I'd rather have easier wins.
i wonder how much my spit is worth in dallas?

School of hard knocks: How concussions hurt student athletes
BRISTOL, Tenn. - As student athletes return to the field and court this fall, attention turns from preseason polls and summer vacation to fall practice and dreams of championships.
As players sweat, parents and coaches try to make sure their athletes are staying healthy and avoiding head injuries. "We try and keep a watchful eye on them. You can usually tell [if they have a head injury]. You can see it in their eyes. Either they're in love, or they've had a concussion," says Dobyns-Bennett head football coach Graham Clark.
Clark says they're not just relying on observation. High schools and colleges, including Dobyns-Bennett, are using computers to test baseline cognitive function in the hopes of detecting a concussion when it happens. "I'm sure we've had guys that hide them. If you get dinged a little bit, you're getting checked," said Clark. "If they have a concussion, they have to go back and pass the test on the computer and you have to have a doctor's approval before you can come back, which is a good thing."
But concussions can't be prevented; that's something Tennessee High Viking Briggs Evans learned last year after take a hit during preseason practice. "I don't really remember most of it, but they were saying I was acting weird," said Evans.
Coaches called his parents. "As soon as I got there, I knew there was something wrong," said his step-dad Matthew Williams. "It was pretty scary actually. Something was majorly wrong and we didn't know what it was."
A trip to the hospital confirmed he had a concussion, which took plenty of time to heal. "I had headaches. Light was irritating. Noise was irritating, but I got over it in about a month. It took about a month to calm down," said the junior wide receiver.
Briggs returned to the field and is playing again this season, but he doesn't think football should be singled out when it comes to head injury prevention. "You could hit your head in a basketball game, you could get hit in the head by a baseball," he told us. "It's just part of playing sports."
Doctors say the damage from a head injury caused by a concussion can have a long-lasting impact. "Patients can have trouble with cognitive abilities, trouble returning to work. We've had patients that have had difficulty with doing things they would normally do every day. Working on the computer seems to bother a lot of people with head injury from concussions," said Dr. Tiffany Lasky, an emergency department trauma physician with Holston Valley Medical Center.
Dr. Lasky has seen her fair share of head injuries and says they get worse with frequency. "Any time you've been hit in the head, and it happens again in a short period of time, the stakes are higher. The chance of a head injury goes up, and especially the chance of concussions," said Lasky.
Lasky says that is why the healing process is so important especially for students.
East Tennessee State University is making sure student-athletes and their professors are prepared. "We educate them on the effects of concussions and how it can affect academics. When our kids do sustain a concussion, it's been very positive. Our faculty has been very understanding in allowing students to heal," said ETSU assistant athletic director for sports medicine Brian Johnston.

text: Lol all jokes aside, Judging people's lives based on past events which happened many years ago is pretty low, and has nothing to do with giants football. i could never judge someone i dont know especially if i have never met them. Thats just not me. But i am curious. what do you guys consider good off of the field? What types of things should a person do off of the field to be considered a good person? Who are some good off of the field players?

Centennial community banding together after shooting
CENTENNIAL, Colo. - People in Centennial were shocked when they heard there was a shooting at Arapahoe High School, but they feel this tragedy will make the community stronger.
People who live around Arapahoe High School say they drove by the high school when the shooting occurred, and they knew something was wrong when they saw law enforcement drive toward the school.
"I ran to the neighbor's house and one of the girls was home alone, she had been home sick and very scared. She came and sat with us (at our house because) her brother was in the library," said Pat Nearman, who lives near Arapahoe High School.
The shooting was shocking because Centennial is normally a quiet town.
"We have always felt safe; things like this happen somewhere else, but not here, not literally in our backyard," said Mark Masters whose children graduated from Arapahoe High School.
But Nearman wants to know what drives a person to shoot somebody.
"What really bothers me is this poor boy and his family, what was he going through and when is it going to end?" Nearman said.
And Kathy Masters feels the community will follow the school's motto.
"Proud to be a Warrior, we take care of each other," Masters said.
A community gathering will be at Valor Christian High School's main gym, 3775 Grace Blvd., in Highlands Ranch on Dec. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m.

You dip biscuits in your tea, are counting down the days 'til you'll be glued to the TV for the games, and spend way too much time perfecting your shepherd's pie recipe. In short: London's calling, and it's time to go home—or at least pay a visit and see a show.
Make it happen with this week's Escape from Premium Tours: a five-day, four-night stay on Fridays to Tuesdays for two ($1,298) in the heart of one of the world's most fascinating cities, named one of the best places to visit in 2012 by National Geographic Traveler.
You and your mate will shack up in style at the mod-luxe, five-star Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, situated in a prime, central location near the famed Tower of London. Besides plush beds you'll want to sink right into, you'll find a gorgeous spa, indoor infinity pool, fully appointed health club, and free Wi-Fi.
At night, you'll have two top-price tickets for your pick of a hit musical—"Chicago," "Billy Elliot," "Phantom of the Opera," "We Will Rock You," "Mamma Mia!," or "Wicked"—in the starry West End.
Wake up each morning to a continental breakfast, then see the sights—including Westminster Abbey, where kings and queens have been coronated for centuries and where recently, Wills and Kate tied the knot—in style atop a vintage, open-top double-decker bus.
You'll refuel over fish and chips and a pint or two at renowned Knightsbridge pub the Tea Clipper. Take a cruise down the River Thames and check out the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace accompanied by the illuminating commentary of a professional guide.
You'll also have plenty of time to hit the town on your own, whether it's stocking up on high-street accessories at Topshop; strolling the halls of the Tate Modern; sipping Pimm's Cup cocktails; or getting a taste of nose-to-tail guru Fergus Henderson's St. John Bar & Restaurant, which serves delicacies like braised lamb neck and lamb sweetbreads in addition to gastropub standards like gooey Welsh rarebit.
With more included than a certain British nanny could fit in her bottomless bag, the possibilities are endless—making this one British invasion you won't want to miss.

text: Ok, I am new to this site and feel like I am a chicken running around with his head cut off lol. Alright, from my last day of research on these boards, I have just been trying to figure out the difference in the Boba Fett costumes. It seems to me that the prefered costume is the ROTJ SE. Correct me if I am wrong but this seems to be an ESB helmet with everything else of the Fett consisting of ROTJ parts. I am really interested in trying to make the best possible Fett for my garrison and I feel from everyone this is the best way to go. Any advice would be great. I was looking at FettPride helmets and this looks amazing. I would rather spend the money on the premium helmet and was wondering if the premium would work for an ESB helmet or a ROTJ. I really do not know the difference between the ROTJ helmet and ESB helmet. I know I sound like a noob but I am really wanting to better our garrison with a great quality Fett and I want to start out on the right foot without heading in the wrong direction with this. Thank you all for your support here on the TDH and future thanks for the help that i know you all will provide me.

Hello All -
I am a backyard beekeeper and have been giving my honey away to family, friends and clients for years. I am growing my beeyard from 3-20 hives this year and plan on getting serious on selling it.
What exactly is required from a legal standpoint for me to sell my honey on shelves in stores or in local restaurants? I have heard that the requirements are a bit more stringent if I am selling at stores versus farmers markets. I live in California and just set up an LLC for this operation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Calculating Simple Interest
How do banks calculate the amount of interest paid on a loan? In this lesson, students will view a Livescribe Pencast to learn how to find the dollar amount in interest that is due at maturity. This lesson uses different time periods such as days, months, and years in the calculation as well as varying interest rates.
Interest, Interest Rate, Principal, Simple Interest
- Calculate simple interest on small loans.
- Convert the interest rate expressed in percent to a decimal.
- Express time as a ratio when time is expressed in days and months.
- Find the total amount due in dollars when the loan matures.
Suppose you want to get a loan to buy a car? What would you want to know about the loan? Would you want to know the amount of your monthly payments? Would you want to know how much you would have to repay including interest? In this lesson, students will learn how to calculate simple interest.
When banks use simple interest, they consider the principal, the interest rate, and the length of time of the loan. Students will learn how banks calculate the amount in dollars to be repaid, when money is borrowed.
So, how do banks calculate the amount of interest paid on a loan? In this lesson, students will view a Livescribe Pencast and/or Youtube Video to learn how to find the dollar amount in interest that is due at maturity. This lesson uses different time periods such as days, months, and years in the calculation as well as varying interest rates.
Simple Interest: Watch a Youtube video on how to calculate simple interest (if your school allows it).
Simple Interest video from Simplifying Math: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2yLEbR8XSE
Simple Interest Worksheet: This activity is to be completed during step four of the Process section of the lesson.
Teacher Key
1.Show students how to calculate simple interest using the formula: I=PRT. Explain that "P" is the Principal and is the amount you borrow; "R" is the Rate in percent; "T" is the Time in years.
2. Perform several problems with your students using various interest rates and time periods.
3. As a supplementary resource, show students this Simple Interest YouTube Video or view the Livescribe Pencast on the right (by clicking the "play" button) that contains the instruction the students will need to perform the calculations.
4. Assign the Worksheet.
5. (Optional): Ask the students to complete the extension activity.
Evaluate the Simple Interest Worksheet based on the number correct.
In this lesson, your students have learned how to calculate simple interest. This knowledge will help them make informed financial decisions when using credit.
As your class has seen, the higher the interest rate or the longer the time period of the loan, the higher the interest in dollars. Students will find it wise to shop around for the best rate that will allow them to use the principal but make repayment easier.
1. Have the students check the answers to the worksheet using the interest calculated on the EconEdLink website: Interest Calculator. (Note: Students will enter 6 months as ".5" since the time on the calculator is in years. They will have to make similar entries for days.)
2. Have the students inquire at their bank what the interest rate is on a home with a 30-year mortgage and have them report it to the class. Also, have the students inquire at their bank what the interest rate is on an automobile loan for three years and report it to the class. Make sure the students take in the proper mortgage and automobile loan situations to their bank, and have them record these rates on something that they can bring back to class.
"This lesson is on calculating simple interest. The video is easy to understand and students can refer to it if they need to. The worksheet is challenging enough for middle school with lots of experience on fractions. I recommend it."

Wall Street was mixed as concerns about the US debt ceiling, and the potential impact on the economy, moved to the fore.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned that failure to lift the US$16.4 trillion debt limit by early March would "impose severe economic hardship."
Fitch Ratings on Tuesday said it expects that Congress will raise the debt ceiling and that the risk of a US sovereign default "remains extremely low".
However, failure to do so "in a timely manner will prompt a formal review of the US sovereign ratings," the ratings agency said in a statement.
Federal Reserve Bank of New York's general economic index fell to minus 7.8 in January from a revised minus 7.3 in December, signalling the sixth straight month of contraction for the region's manufacturing.
"The manufacturing sector in general has been stuck in neutral for several months now," Thomas Simons, an economist with Jefferies Group in New York, who had forecast an improvement in the Empire index to minus 2, told Bloomberg News. "It still hasn't shown any progress. We're still stuck in the mud here."
At least there was some relief from retail sales, which climbed a better-than-expected 0.5 per cent last month after gaining 0.4 per cent in November, according to Commerce Department data.
"Consumers continue to provide underlying support for the economy," Eric Green, chief economist at TD Securities in New York, told Reuters.
The report also helped underpin retail stocks including JC Penney, last up 1.9 per cent.
In afternoon trading in New York, The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.02 per cent lower, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index slipped 0.01 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.24 per cent.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index finished the session with a decline of less than 0.1 per cent from the previous close. The FTSE 100 managed a 0.2 per cent gain, though France's CAC 40 slid 0.3 per cent and Germany's DAX sank 0.7 per cent.
The German economy probably contracted about 0.5 per cent in the last three months of 2012, compared to the previous quarter, according to Federal Statistical Office data. For the whole of 2012, Europe's largest economy still grew, albeit at the slowest pace in three years.
Spain drew solid demand for its bond auction today, selling 5.75 billion euros of bills.
Italy is selling 6 billion euros of 15-year bonds via banks today, to be priced to yield 30 basis points more than the rate on the current benchmark, Bloomberg News reported, citing information from a person familiar with the offering, who asked not to be identified because terms aren't established. The security will be set against the 4.5 per cent bond due March 2026.

Contact Pacific Southwest Waste Program
Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Saving Trees One Piece of Paper at a Time
EPA estimates that approximately 44 million tons - or 48% –- of the paper generated in this country ends up in landfills. In an effort to save trees and keep waste out of the landfills, the EPA is working to encourage paper recycling through voluntary partnerships and economic incentives.
Through the Resource Conservation Challenge (now ended), the EPA identifies flexible yet protective ways to conserve natural resources and energy.
For instance, the Recycled Products Cooperative (RPC) , started through an EPA grant, is a self-sustaining program to encourage paper recycling. The RPC uses group purchasing power to offer quality recycled content paper at competitive prices.
Joining the RPC is free to anyone. Buying small quantities of paper can be expensive – and the bottom line for companies and individuals is often the price. Since RPC buys in bulk, its members can purchase recycled paper at a lower cost that meets – or even beats – regular paper prices.
Through the efforts of the RPC, 500 organizations and more than 120 businesses and universities have started using recycled paper. Between January and June of 2005, the RPC sold 7,527 tons of postconsumer recycled paper.
RPC has led to savings of:
- 60,668 forty-foot tall trees
- 71 Olympic sized swimming pools full of water (17,702,050 gallons)
- 151,329 pounds of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other pollutants
- 10 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
Buying small quantities of paper can be expensive - and the bottom line for companies and individuals is often the price. Since RPC buys in bulk, its members can purchase recycled paper at a lower cost.
Useful Terms:
- Postconsumer recycled paper: Manufactured from material that has been discarded by the consumer. The majority of postconsumer paper is made up of recycled office waste.
- Virgin fiber paper:
Manufactured from trees without the use of any alternative fibers.
- Processed chlorine free:
Recycled paper whose content is bleached without chlorine or chlorine derivatives. Paper pulp bleached with chlorine forms toxic compounds (dioxins and furans) that can cause health problems.
RPC partnerships:
- City of San Diego
- Sea World
- UC San Diego
- JFK University
- Harvard University
- Aveda Corporation
- Whole Foods Markets
- Eileen Fisher
