Dr. Harriett Romo receives 2005 ATHENA Award
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Associate Director of Public Affairs
(Nov. 9, 2005)--The 2005 San Antonio ATHENA International Award recently was presented to Harriett Romo, UTSA associate professor of sociology, at the 16th annual Enterprising Women's Conference hosted by the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. The award was sponsored by Cingular Wireless.
Romo was selected from 14 nominees for the award, which recognizes an outstanding San Antonio leader who has provided development opportunities for women.

According to Yolanda Delgado, 2005 ATHENA Enterprising Women's Conference Committee chair, Romo was chosen for this year's award because of her work in education and early childhood development, and for mentoring women.
"Dr. Harriett Romo is an inspiration and a role model to women at all levels, not only here in San Antonio but nationwide because she touches people wherever she goes," said Delgado. "She was very unselfish in her interview. She never talked about herself, but instead spoke of how proud she is of her students and the work they are doing to make San Antonio a better place."
The ATHENA Foundation has been nationally recognized since 1982, and most recently internationally, providing opportunities for growth and development of leaders in the communities served. The San Antonio ATHENA Award recognizes individuals from the local area for their professional achievements, community service and generosity in assisting women in attaining professional excellence and leadership skills. Both men and women are eligible to receive the award.
The 2004 ATHENA Award recipient was Mary Pat Moyer, CEO and chief science officer of Incell Corporation and CEO of TEKSA Innovations Corp. Previous recipients include Susan Blackwood, executive director of the San Antonio Sports Foundation; Cyndi Taylor Krier, former Bexar County judge and current USAA vice president for Texas government relations; and Christine Prescott, CEO, Corporate Travel Planners.

I didn't watch and only saw still photos of Brian Joubert, but the new costume is vastly preferable to the old one (not that it was so hard to accomplish that ). Surely the skate gods will wish to reward such a positive development!
I just wish Brian and Evan Lysacek will someday figure out that it is possible to wear something other than black (or black and gold, in Brian's case).
schiele, I completely agree that Jeremy is better than Lysacek, just less consistent, and better than the current edition of Johnny Weir, too. Weir at the top of his game was better IMO than Abbott.
Was it really necessary to give Takahashi the highest PCS out of all the men?
Ok I agree, Weir at his absolute best is better than all of the current US skaters. But it's been a while since I saw him at that level. Nevertheless I fully appreciate fighters (Weir, Rochette etc) or risk takers (Joubert, Verner etc).
Just woke up from my nap to discover Johnny skated well and still didn't break 80. Great, that'll do wonders for his confidence.
Excellent job Jeremy. I wish Johnny had done better.
Yes, I want an explanation on that one too.. Is it cool to pretend to be a "feathery" Jonny Cash? Well, my bf had a wonderful take on Weir's costume when he saw him for the first time this year in COR (yes I forced him into FS this year, hehe), but I think I cannot pronounce his comments here.. It was pretty much similar to what he said about Joubert's old SP costume (the black leathery thingy with the holes and everything..)
Rewatched Brian. He looked especially French and delicious today.
This is an amazing field, because at the end of the day I don't really care who takes this home. I love all the guys who have a chance to win this, they are all awesome in their own way.
But I hope that Johnny goes clean and at least snatches a medal, that would mean a lot in this field - plus, his LP seems to have potential and I would love to see it clean.
Is Brian going to wear ALL Maxim Staviskis' costumes?
Seriously, I love Maxim, but his costumes are often just ...horrible.
Anyway, so glad Brian is back! (I hope he is really back this time and will skate great LP tomorrow). Still haven't seen Abott. It seems he was awsome...

Missed it all this morning, so watched the top 5 on youtube.
Brian: an excellent 4+3, sold the program so well, the girls in the arena loved him and his skating. Still, no single pcs broke 8s. Very well deserved 1st place, congrats! Another lesson to learn - never underestimate monsieur Joubert!
Jeremy: the pigs were flying today! I'm not a huge fan of that particular music selection/ grandpa's style of costume, but Jeremy demonstrated once again that he can skate. And he isn't far away from Brian points-wise, even though he only landed a 3+3, but that was a good solid triple-triple combo.
Johnny: I think he skated very well for an ill man, did his best, landed all his jumps, fought till the end. And it brought him a whole of 78.35. Well, Takahiko Kozuka got less for a clean intricate SP, in CoR. Although we aren't supposed to compare scores of different panels from different competitions.
Daisuke: not bad, although those sudden falls scare the hell out of me, every time. Says will try to quad tomorrow.
Takahiko: when was the last time he fell on his 3A, I mean, before today? C'mon, Takahiko!

Following last week's news that Lil Wayne had been hospitalized due to a seizure-like incident on a plane, a rep for the Rapper said that Weezy was merely dehydrated. In a statement to MTV News, Lil Wayne's rep said, "Lil Wayne was successfully released from the hospital after being treated for a severe migraine and dehydration. He is at home on doctor-mandated rest and will return to work soon. He appreciates all of his fans for their support and love." On Saturday, Wayne tweeted, "Thanx for all the prayers! I am good.
Eminem plans to release a new album in 2013...according to a hat the Rapper is selling online. A new ballcap being sold on Eminem's website lists a series of dates on the side of it, "dedicated to the landmark Eminem solo albums. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Marshall Mathers Foundation." The years listed correspond with Em's album releases over the years, but 2013 is listed as well.
Bullet For My Valentine will release Temper Temper, the band's fourth album, on February 12, 2013. The NME reports the title track will be released as a single in November and the band will tour the UK in March.
Rockers Buckcherry will release a new album, Confessions, in early 2013 via Century Media Records. "The time has come to finally announce the release of our sixth LP, Confessions," says Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd. "This is our coolest album yet and I think a lot of people will relate, if you love BC you are going to get a chance to be part of a great story - join the revolution and let's rock!"
Morrissey has postponed his entire U.S tour, as the British singer's mother is in the hospital back in England. Moz had previously postponed a handful of dates. "All remaining dates on the current U.S. Tour have been postponed -- but not canceled -- as Morrissey has returned to England where his mother has been hospitalized and is unwell," reads a statement from his management. "Due to issues with his mother's health, Morrissey will need to remain by her side during this difficult period."
R&B singer/actress Natina Reed passed away over the weekend, after being struck by a car in Atlanta. Reed was a member of the group Blaque and appeared in the film Bring It On. Sunday would have been her 33rd birthday.

Townsend Allala: City Manager must resign; City Rep. calls allegations bizarre, false
EL PASO, Texas - (Nov. 2012 story)
The defacto leader of groups opposing the bonds and baseball stadium, Stephanie Townsend Allala, during Sunday night's ABC-7 xtra program, alleged the city government "is corrupt" and called for the resignation of City Manager Joyce Wilson. Her accusations are based on misinformation and inaccuracies, said City Rep. Steve Ortega on Monday.
"I don't take this lightly. Based on the emails I've seen and based on all of this horrendous boondoggle, that they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes, I think Joyce Wilson needs to resign immediately. El Paso deserves better," Allala said Sunday night, during a discussion with Rick Horrow, the consultant for the Political Action Committee trying to pass the bonds. Allala pointed to more than 7,000 emails she obtained from the city through an open records request. She believes the email spell out criminal behavior.
"I have an email from Steve Ortega to Joyce Wilson dated Friday, April 20, 2012. It's Steve telling Joyce he needs significant slush funds in the bonds to buy downtown properties. Now that's not what they're saying in the bonds," she said Sunday. Allala was referring to an email in which Ortega wrote :"I am asking for a significant (amount) set aside in the bond for property acquisition." Ortega said early on, when city leaders were determining which projects to add to the bond, they were considering using bond money to buy blighted properties downtown that property owners have refused to fix. "One of the strategies that was being debated was getting money in the bond election in order to bring those buildings back into active use and to do justice to their place in downtown, our community's history, it's heritage.... the words slush funds were never used and will never be used," Ortega said. The plan was never adopted and is not part of the bond.
Allala also claimed Wilson's communication with MountainStar Sports Group investor Paul Foster was "shameful." "Joyce Wilson (was) giving Paul Foster tips on how to negotiate with the Mayor for the Luther building," she said. In the email, dated June 12, 2012, Wilson wrote to a person who appears to be Foster. The email of the receiver was redacted by the city. Wilson's email begins with "FYI... in event Mayor calls. He wants to follow up on you donating the Plaza to city for new city hall in light of b-ball activity. I told him I didn't know what your intentions were but that we were asking a lot for an outright donation. Anyway, he doesn't agree."
In the email, Wilson proposed an alternative. "One thought might be for us to be a tenant for a portion of building, pay for the improvements directly, amortize them over life of improvements and then at the end we either negotiate a lease, purchase or move."
There is no indication the email was illegal, said city officials on Monday. ABC-7 asked, even if it's not illegal, if it was appropriate for the city manager to offer the city pay rent and improvements, when the Mayor was trying to acquire the building through a donation. "The mayor felt like he could get the plaza donated for free. If you talk to Paul Foster, he'll probably tell you that was not on the table and so the city manager was trying to do the next best thing," said Ortega.
Wilson refused comment for this story. A City Spokeswoman said the city manager is reserving comment until after the criminal complaint investigation against her is complete. Opponents of the proposed baseball stadium filed a complaint, requesting the District Attorney to investigate her for allegedly using public funds for political advertising related to the planned Downtown baseball stadium.
The city manager, who is in charge of being the executor of the city council's decisions and vision, has gained significant criticism for the leaked emails. In one correspondence with City Rep. Cortney Niland, Wilson calls baseball opponents "crazies" and wrote she "bets" they'll kill the baseball deal. She also wrote she hopes the city can stall their efforts. Allala calls that "voter suppression and manipulation."
"It's disgraceful, it's illogical. We cannot trust her or anyone on the 10th floor with my half a billion dollars," Allala said on Sunday, referring to the $473 million in projects proposed in the bond.
Ortega admitted Wilson's words were not wise. "Joyce could have probably used more artful and tactful language but the reality is some of the tactics that have been used are really of out of the main and cross boundaries." He said Allala crossed those boundaries when she made "false accusations" of criminal wrongdoing without supporting evidence. "That was Joyce Wilson's opinion in terms of the process and carrying out the will of the council, which was to build the ballpark here in town. That was Joyce's opinion but certainly doesn't rise to the level of voter suppression." Ortega said.
Allala, on Sunday, also said Cohen Stadium could still be a possibility for a AAA baseball team. "I think that what could happen. It's not that I'm against the baseball stadium but one thing is for sure that the MountainStar Sports Group is already looking at Cohen Stadium again because they can see the writing on the wall."
Ortega contends that's inaccurate. "She is 1,000 percent wrong about that." He pointed to a recent news conference in which Pacific Coast League Branch Rickey spoke about why a downtown baseball stadium was the right choice. "Cohen doesn't make sense. It's not on the table. It's not acceptable to AAA," Ortega said.

how to find 'interesting' malware samples?
I've recently put a Nepenthes server into production. There were several reasons for this, from trying to get a better view of what's out there, training resources and just 'for fun' (yes I'm a bit strange).
Unfortunately, the server is being too successful and is providing more samples than I can analyse in the timeframe available. Can anyone provide tips so that I can quickly identify and focus on the 'interesting' samples rather than spend time and resources investigating 'garden variety' malware?
Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.

States with the best business climates
Original post made by liberalism is a disease, Birdland, on Feb 8, 2013
From the summary of the article: 'Right-to-work states dominate the top of the list, with Utah ranking first for a third straight year, while strong union states populate the bottom.'
While this comes as no surprise to most of us who work for national or multi-national firms, it seemed prudent to post this revelation for the deniers that post claims (with no credible sources) that our state is somehow rebounding in spite of a dem majority that espouses high taxes and excessive regulations.

No one in their right mind would want to live in most of those states. North Dakota? Indiana? Nebraska? Are you kidding me. Also, New York not being No. 1 is nuts.
And what kinds of business are they talking about? Gas staions? Walmart? I've been to these states to visit relatives and...I'm sorry, but I don't see much real business. Certainly not innovative futures with real jobs.
Want to shovel snow? Boston is a great place for it as we speak.

Good news is still good news, no matter what spin you attempt to put on it. Yes some companies are leaving Silicon Valley, but as reported there are more moving in than leaving, including those from Texas- Dell continues to expand in CA adding more jobs.

One of my favorite places with wonderful climate is Hawaii! Not to mention the magical beaches and tasty food!
Now that I'm retired, I don't care where businesses locate. As long as they pay their fair share of taxes and pay their employees a decent wage and offer medical care and other benefits.

on Feb 8, 2013 at 6:22 pm
Cholo, I have to agree with you about Hawaii, especially Kauai, but its very expensive to live there.
As far as businesses, they no longer have incentive to offer the medical benefits they previously did, since obamacare either makes the plans prohibitive for employers to offer, or business are incented to steer their employees toward the governments subpar coverage. I understand what you are advocating for, but unfortunately, those days are now gone.

California is not rebounding from a jobs standpoint. This state continues to have the third highest unemployment rate in the nation. When the state improves to the 10th worst or 20th worst unemployment rate in the nation, then we will be making some progress.

Well, truth be told, were I, say, an unskilled part-time bartender, with no realistic job prospects and living off my wife's earnings, and doing nothing but writing posts here under many names that alternately were found hilarious or repugnant by readers, I'd be happy too to be pumping gas somewhere in North Dakota for $3 bucks an hour.
Hey, Doug, I have a brother-in-law job creating hero in Texas who'll hire you off the street and pay up to $5 an hour to toss hay in his barns. You'll get to smell the mixture of manure and oil in the air all day and night, and at that wage you'll always be eligible for food stamps. Might this be your calling?

Doug Miller,
Did you see my follow up question on AIG suing the government for not getting favorable bailout conditions? It is related to the business climate/government regulation question, so if it you're welcome to answer it on this thread.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Feb 9, 2013 at 8:44 am
Doug- the unemployment rates in the Bay Area are well below the national average.
As we have a home in another, rural part of the state, I'm aware that people in these areas are struggling to find work. Maybe they are the ones that should think about moving to Nebraska to work retail in the many chain restaurants (as there is nothing to do in these 'boom' states besides eat - going out to dinner is the main form of entertainment).

If you don't believe that we have an extremely dysfunctional anti-business government in Sacramento, you are not paying attention -- or, have never experienced trying to own a business here.
I suspect that Rick Perry will be fairly successful in his campaign to entice business owners to relocate to Texas. If you manufacture a product in California and ship nationwide, why not flee this over-regulated bureaucratic mess?

The City of Austin likely appeals to you because it is the closest in Texas to what you like about California. However, Austin has some negatives and warts - just like other cities in Texas and California.
Rick Perry's visit and the surrounding publicity will kindle a thought process within the business community -- "Why in the heck are we still trying to survive in California when we could easily move to another state; and the savings would more than offset the cost of the move."
I have a friend who is in the Moving business here in California. Despite a fleet of trucks, they don't have enough available to fill the orders for those leaving for Texas and the surrounding states. They also have to charge extra to get their trucks back to California, because the outgoing dramatically exceeds the incoming.
The exodus is underway.

Property taxes in texas are high and homes are assessed annually to market value (not a prop 13 1%) so if property values increase, so do taxes. It something to think about if you are retiring or saving for your childrens' college education. You may think you're buying your dream home and find out after 15 years that you're not affording it as easily as you once thought you would. And then you will not be able to come back to California because, no matter how you look at it, this state will always be in demand and the housing prices will not be lateral.
And, speaking of education, there are only 2 really good schools in Texas: UT Austin and Rice - both require basically a 4.0. So make sure your kids do very well in school.
Can you tell I love Califonia? We have friends in Texas and we lived there in the military. The friends come to Califonia every summer to escape the heat. The air conditioning is on 6 months out of the year and electricity is not cheap.

2009 GTA teaches a 6-year-old to drive
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 04:58 PM MDT | By zombienm
Normally when the GTA franchise makes national news, it's for its violence and how it 'inspires' kids to commit violent crimes. That's not the case here, however.
A 6-year-old boy from Virginia says the game taught him how to drive. Determined to make it to school after missing the bus, the young boy stole the keys to his parents Ford Taurus and drove himself. He made it over six miles before finally crashing into a utility pole. He suffered only minor injuries.

Final Fight 03: Jurkovic vs. Catinas on April 19th
- Written by Dave Walsh
This one absolutely came out of nowhere, as Final Fight, the promotion of Orsat Zovko, best know for the recent K-1 World Grand Prix Finals that went down in Zagreb, Croatia as well as last year's Final Fight event featuring Mirko Cro Cop vs. Ray Sefo is back and back quickly. One would think that they would take a break after the same team worked hard at the K-1 World Grand Prix Finals, but on April 19th they'll put on Final Fight 3: Jurkovic vs. Catinas in Split, Croatia.
Now, while we may have been critical of how some of the K-1 event went down, Zovko and Final Fight put on top notch events and are definitely must-watch for Kickboxing fans. The fight card is as follows:
KB HW: Igor Jurković (CRO) vs. Raul Catinas (ROM)
KB HW: Pavel Zhuravlev (UKR) vs. Luca Panto (ITA)
MMA HW: Ante Delija (CRO) vs. Michail Laprakis (GRE)
KB -95kg: Agron Preteni (CRO) vs. Mamadu Keta (BEL)
MMA -93kg: Christian Golčić (SWE-CRO) vs. Tomislav Spahović (BiH)
KB -90 kg: Toni Milanović (CRO) vs. Ibrahim El Bouni (MAR)
MMA -77kg: Dejan Milošević (CRO) vs. Bojan Kosendar (SLO)
KB HW: Mladen Kujundžić (CRO) vs. Rok Štrucl (SLO)
KB -81kg: Zlatko Bajić (CRO) vs. Spanias Vaggelis (GRE)
MMA -93kg: Teo Radnić (CRO) vs. TBA

So, I got some vintage train transformers, all are putting out 18V or more. I wired my frames and then tried to use them to embed the wire.
No luck. The wire doesnt even get warm. I left them clipped on there for 5 minutes. No dice. How are you guys using train transformers to embed wire? There is current passing through the wire, but its not enough to warm it up. Ended up just using a spur embedder for the first one.
Kind of disappointed because I read that these would work.

Central Station Selection Guide
Nine leading wholesale monitoring providers are spotlighted with details about their specialties, unique qualities and service offerings. Top executives describe the business advantages their third-party central stations bring to their security dealer customers.
By Scott Goldfine · October 23, 2013
For good reason, generating more recurring monthly revenue has become an obsession for most installing electronic security company managers. Stabilizing cash flow, services diversification, new technology implementation and customer retention are just some of the many virtues of building a large base of RMR-based accounts. Given the principal method to create that business is through monitored services, if (like most) your firm does not have that competency in-house then it is critical to strike a partnership with a top-flight third-party central station.
There are a lot of key factors to consider when making that wholesale monitoring choice. They include customer service, portfolio of technologies and services, technical training and support, signal transmission formats, certifications, alarm management techniques, pricing, account purchasing programs, and dealer program-type administrative, sales and marketing, and financial assistance. The right provider can help an installing company exploit new opportunities in alarm communications, video and access control monitoring, home controls and energy management, PERS, weather alerts, and interactive and mobile-enabled services.
To assist in the selection process, nine of the industry's foremost third-party central stations make their cases to be your monitoring partner.

Temporary grade of incomplete
A student who has suffered serious personal illness or other emergency circumstances during the academic term should notify the dean of students as soon as possible for assistance or accommodations. Students who have suffered such circumstances and are therefore unable to complete all assignments by the end of the quarter may request a grade of incomplete through the appropriate school dean before the end of the quarter, explaining the reason and including documentation of the illness or emergency circumstance. The dean's decision is final.
A student who is assigned a temporary grade of incomplete is required to complete the remainder of the unfinished work in a satisfactory manner by midterm of the following quarter. A temporary grade of incomplete automatically changes to an F if the required work is not completed satisfactorily by midterm of the following quarter. A student may not withdraw from a course after receiving a grade of incomplete.
A student who has missed more than four class sessions, 20 percent of classes in a quarter, is not eligible for a grade of incomplete.

Take a look—a careful look—and figure out what you are seeing. I am delighted to once again present a winning image from the Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored by the journal Science and the U. S. National Science Foundation, where for the fourth year I am privileged to be a judge. The moment this image came on the screen, we all sighed with wonder. We're seeing the head region of a 2,000-year-old mummy of an Egyptian child (notice the head within the cartonnage?) from the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California. The detail is part of a larger three-dimensional image reconstructed from 60,000 exceptionally high-resolution two-dimensional scans, made without disturbing the fragile mummy-case. The team was led by endodontist W. Paul Brown of the Stanford-NASA National Biocomputation Center, working with physicist Rebecca Fahrig in the Department of Radiology and other colleagues at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
F. F. Paul, tell us how your team created the final image.
W. P. B. A team of physicists and radiologists at Stanford used a Siemens AXIOM C-arm CT scanner to generate 2-D slices about 200 microns thick, considerably thinner than the 750-micron slices used to create the 3-D visualization of King Tut's mummy. Robert Cheng, Eric Herbranson, Christof Reinhart, Juel Herbranson, Kevin Montgomery, Afshad Mistri and Amy Ladd used Volume Graphics' real-time ray-tracing technology to render and visualize the data set on a Silicon Graphics Prism workstation for the creation of the 3-D models.
F. F. What sort of information about the mummy did you discover?
W. P. B. From a series of detailed studies, we arrived at the following conclusions: The mummy was a female, between the ages of four and five years old, who probably died from a common intestinal illness or other disease, since we found no signs of injury (half of all Egyptian children died before their fifth year). Her family was probably wealthy—a scented resin was applied on the golden face mask.
F. F. The CT scans are grayscale, but the final image is colored.
W. P. B. Yes, we colored the image based on tissue density, thus making the teeth white (high calcium/highest density) and the bones a light sort of bone color, and finally applying reddish tints to the soft tissue.
F. F. Can you tell us how the ray-tracing software was used?
W. P. B. To make a cutaway that has depth information, you need to cast a virtual light on the interior structures to create shadows and contrasts. This would be the job of the Volume Graphics package.
F. F. Can you imagine how these sorts of efforts might advance our understanding of those of us who have not yet been mummified?
W. P. B. Well, I would say that advances in high-resolution scanning and visualization technology are already transforming educational programs and medical procedures. As a dentist, I certainly see a change in orthodontic, endodontic and implant studies. I think the ability to interact with virtual anatomical information without invasive procedures can only enhance our efforts in understanding our own anatomy and will help to guide nonsurgical medical interventions.

I'll give it a shot
Big possibility I'm wrong:
Plushenko standing, Yagudin sit (but I guess these you knew already... )
The girl with the cap looks like Naomi Nari Nam and the girl in Yagudin's lap looks like that other korean lady... aaarrghh can't remember her name right now...
I thought it was Yu-Na at first, but she looks different, perhaps her age is the reason...
Could that one be Na-Young? But I think that's Yu Na now...
OOPS....should have clarified. I meant the girl to OUR right, not to the "technical" right in the pic.
I can confirm that the lady on the left (that is, OUR left) is YuNa. I found it on HER facebook site. However, I don't know who the girl on the right (OUR right) is, and that's where I need you guys' help...
Like beep_beep said, I think it's Naomi Nari Nam. I think it was taken during an ice show in Korea. I remember Brian (Orser), Naomi, and Yu-Na performed a piece together.
Following Beep-beep and Gourry's suggestion, here is a picture of Naomi Nari Nam, taken not long after she competed in tyhe 2006 Nyundai Card Suoer Match with Plushenko, Yagudin, Yu-na Kim, Slutskaya, Oksana Baiul, etc.

Randolph County, located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, was formed in 1779 from Guilford County and named for Peyton Randolph, the first president of the Continental Congress. Early inhabitants of the area included the Saponi, Keyauwee, and other Siouan Indians, followed by German, Scotch-Irish, and English settlers. Quakers and Moravians also migrated to the area in the eighteenth century. Asheboro, the county seat, was incorporated in 1796 and named for Samuel Ashe, a former governor of North Carolina. It is the location of the North Carolina Zoological Park, which attracts thousands of visitors each year and has spurred a great deal of growth in the town and county. Other Randolph County communities include Archdale, Ramseur, Liberty, Seagrove, Franklinville, Coleridge, Whynot, Trinity, and Worthville. Randolph County is covered in part by the Uwharrie National Forest. Other notable physical features of the county include the Uwharrie River, Purgatory Mountain, Squirrel Creek, the Little River, and Needhams Mountain.
Several important participants in the War of the Regulation (1764-71) lived in what is now Randolph County. Trinity College, established in 1838, moved to Durham in 1892 and became Duke University. Randolph County is home to a number of historic sites and landmarks, such as the Sunset Theatre, built in 1929; the Asheboro City Cemetery, in use since 1827; and Skeen's Mill Covered Bridge, built in the 1890s. Cultural institutions include the Museum of North Carolina Traditional Pottery, the American Classic Motorcycle Museum, the Richard Petty Museum, and the North Carolina Pottery Center. The Seagrove region is a very important center of North Carolina pottery production. The county hosts festivals and annual events that include the Spring Kiln Opening in Seagrove, Festival of the Dogs in Franklinville, and Christmas parades in several towns.
Randolph County produces agricultural goods such as eggs, tobacco, corn, soybeans, hay, vegetables, fruit, and poultry. Manufactured products include furniture, dry batteries, hospital supplies, cushions and pillows, shoes, fabrics, apparel, and industrial components. The county's estimated population in 2004 was 135,800.

A St. Martinville woman was killed Wednesday afternoon in St. Martin Parish when the rear of her 1991 Chevrolet van was clipped by an Amtrak passenger train at a railroad crossing, causing the van to burst into flames, State Police said. The collision occurred at the intersection of La. 92 and La. 182 in Cade when the van driven by Cassandra Papillion, 51, stopped behind another northbound vehicle with the rear portion of her vehicle on a set of train tracks at a traffic light, Troop I spokesman Stephen Hammons said. Hammons said the accident occurred at 12:20 p.m. when a westbound train approached the intersection and struck Papillion's vehicle. After impact, Papillion's vehicle struck a stopped southbound 2000 Nissan truck driven by Russ Romero, 34, of New Iberia, Hammons said. Papillion's vehicle came to rest west of the intersection and caught fire, Hammon said. Troopers indicated the active warning devices at the intersection (flashing red lights, bells and gates) were functioning properly, he said. Hammons said the railroad crossing guard arms came down on the rear of the van as the train approached. But Papillion, who was the lone occupant in the vehicle, did not move the van in time, Hammons said. Papillion, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Martin Parish coroner. Romero, who was also wearing a seat belt, sustained minor injuries. It is unknown whether impairment was a factor in the crash; however, routine toxicology samples were obtained and will be submitted to the State Police Crime Lab in Baton Rouge for analysis. Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said none of the 125 passengers aboard the train were injured in the crash, which occurred just after noon. Magliari said a crew member apparently suffered a knee injury while getting off the train after the collision. The train, which had departed New Orleans around 9 a.m. and was bound for Los Angeles, was expected to be delayed for several hours while officials inspected it for damage and awaited a replacement crew. It had two locomotives and nine rail cars, Magliari said.
Im sorry to say, but there are no unsafe train intersections. If you get hit by a train you are an idiot. No discussion, no questions.

Why is the fact that the train is an Amtrak train make a difference?

Amtraks are much smaller, but then I guess a suicidal person wouldn't be aware of the situation.
They also travel a lot faster.
You ever stood by the tracks when one of those big bastards rolls up? They're more than adequate enough to do the job.
Plenty of times. They're very fast.
Plenty of times. They're very fast.
I have no idea how this even happens anymore. Aside from stupidity, what could possibly lead to this anymore?
I have seen the California Zephyr reach up to 80 mph while going through Palisade, CO.
Officials said the train suffered some engine damage, but not enough damage to cancel the trip.

The Luxurious Side of Fayetteville
Pratt Place Inn • Fayetteville, AR
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in the Redbud Room ($360)
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in The Sassafras or Chinquapin Room ($440)

The Destination
At the foot of the sandstone- and shale-capped Boston Mountains in the shady cushion of the Ozark plateau sits the sweetly humming beauty known as Fayetteville, Arkansas—but you can call her "Fay." A 2012 Forbes's choice for "Best Places For Business And Careers," Fayetteville is home to more than 70,000 rabid Razorback fans, ardent arborists smitten with fall's fiery foliage, and smart arts appreciators—not to mention 71 public parks and manifold hiking and biking trails. The sense of tradition that accompanies the 60-plus listings in the National Register of Historic Places and the 200 days of sunshine each year are sure to making warming up to this Ozarks gem easy indeed.
The Digs
Crack open the French Walnut doors to the luxury and modern amenities of Pratt Place Inn, equally loved for its fine silver, linen napkins, teatime china and its barn weddings. Your room's high-end charm—French armoires, Qing dynasty wedding chests, and Persian rugs—may seem foreign at first, but you'll quickly feel at home among the hardwood floors, marble baths, and whirlpool tubs, counting sheep beneath the 600-thread-count cotton linens of your pillowtop king bed. Take breakfast in the stately dining room or don a terrycloth robe and nibble honey-drizzled fruit and lemon scones as you look out on 140 graceful acres from your private veranda, birds flitting from tree to tree.
"Pratt Place Inn is the perfect home away from home. It's elegant with country charm and every comfort you can ask for. If I could, I would live at Pratt Place Inn and write a million novels; the land definitely clears your mind."-- TripAdvisor

text: Hello all. I'm glad I found this site. I'll be reaching out as I continue to mod and improve my 06 Suburban. Right now I'm close to stock Next on the list is new wheels(18s most likely) and tires(probly BF Goodrich TA KOs). By the way does anyone know where to find a new grill that completely replaces the old one(to include the wrap around part in the middle). I want to get rid of the front bowtie in favor of a smooth subtle one of none at all.

[quote user="weeds123"][quote user="TroyArcher"][quote user="weeds123"]I have. Without the benefit of a milking machine too. Can probably still hit a barn cat from 20 feet...I've shoveled a lot of manure also which prepares me for responding to your post. Be careful, junior, I'm not your run-of-the-mill huckleberry.
Why do you guys wear Cheese on your head? It seems kind of silly to me.[/quote]
As gawd herself is my witness Troy, that is one spot-on question. The rationale behind the whole danged thing is that "Cheesehead" is a derisive term that F.I.B.'s use when referring to a Wisconsin resident. (An F.I.B. is a "F---in' Illinois Bas**rd). There isn't much love lost between the two states. We in Wisconsin however know that the only thing separating a Cheesehead from a d**khead, is ... the state line.
In any event, some guy in the southern part of the state devised this 'cheesehead' thing and made a small fortune doing so. More power to him, I love the free enterprise system -- after all, he's a "job creator". So, the damned things are heavy and when worn inside the stadium block lines of sight ... and mess up hair. The network cameras however eat that kitschy crap up ... and that's what hit the airwaves. Sorta like how they always manage to put the cameras on the scantily clad cheerleaders...
Yeah, I've never, nor will I EVER find the 'cheesehead' acceptable enough to wear ... even in the stadium. Has NOTHING to do with the game and therefore, I'm not interested -- I also believe that "cheerleaders" should not be allowed in an NFL stadium -- hell, they're actually professional dancers looking to be discovered... there's my rant.
You're up.
Look Weeds, the bottom line is this.....
15-2 is still a really good record. Something to be proud of..
I am sure those boys from LSU are proud of that NCAA Best 13-1 Record and that SEC Title they won.
Next week when you are talking Draft Picks you can hang your Hat on the fact that you guys were the last team to be undefeated this season (just like LSU) and won your div title going Away (hey, like LSU again!!!) and clinched the best record and HomeField throughout the playoffs. Those are some great accomplishments and nothing to be ashamed of.
It happens...like (LSU beat Bama by 3pts during season) the Tigers the team already beat by 3points in regular season is just a bad matchup for you. Of all the teams to draw in your first game you get a bunch of guys hell bent are proving to the world that the first game was actually won by NY ( bad thing for LSU was Bama felt they won that first game as well) and will stop at nothing to show who the better team is this time around. (I think Bama proved its point, as matter of fact LSUs team is still stuck in NewOrleans. Someone painted a 50yard line in front of their Buses and they just can't seem to Cross it)
Would have been better if you met falcons, Lions or Saints...sorry. Look on the bright side. No matter who wins the SB they still won't have better record then 15-2.. And that is something to sing about round the camp fire, HEAR.....lol
Giants by 21 been saying it all week..

I am in my first year (2months) of beekeeping; the hive is doing well with two brood chambers and a very active queen. I am thinking of adding a third brood chamber in the hopes of splitting next spring and adding honey supers on top of that.
When should I use a queen excluder? I recently read a piece in one of the catalogs suggesting that a queen excluder is optional equipment, my plans don't include a large honey harvest. Do I need one? Also can these be made or do they have to be purchased.
Thanks for in advance for any help or suggestions.

Protest at the Chevron Station at Market and Castro, SF
Andy Bichlbaum and other Corporate Chieftains, protected by SurvivaBalls [4] (an advanced new technology that will keep corporate managers safe even when climate change makes life as we know it impossible - see CNN coverage [5] of the launch of the SurvivaBalls in New York with CNN anchor Jeanne Moos), and flanked by colorful visuals and hundreds of ruckus protesters, will roll up the streets of SF for a Yes Men style response to Chevron's role at the forefront of climate destruction, human rights and public health abuse, environmental devastation, economic strangulation, and wars for oil (long version of lengthy list of Chevron's corporate crimes [6]) (short version of lengthy list of Chevron's corporate crimes [7]).
THE YES MEN [8] (currently being sued by The U.S. Chamber of Commerce [9]) are Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bananno. They have an unusual hobby: posing as top executives of corporations they hate. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits, the Yes Men lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate targets in ever more extreme ways - basically doing everything that they can to wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world. Their new documentary, The Yes Men Fix The World, debuts in SF Friday, October 30. Described as:
"Outrageously entertaining....This movie is glorious testimony to the moral power of satire." - New York Magazine [10]
"Great fun! It takes some nerve, not to mention diabolical intelligence... to pull off the elaborate pranks devised by the Yes Men." - New York Times [11]
Antonia Juhasz [12] is the Director of The Chevron Program [2] at Global Exchange. The Chevron Program links communities across California, the U.S. and the world to expose the true cost of Chevron and reign in the entire oil industry. Global Exchange [13] is a 20-year-old human rights organization based in SF. Antonia is lead author and editor of, The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report [6] and author of The Tyranny of Oil: the Worlds Most Powerful Industry--And What We Must Do To Stop It.
