The certificate will be presented by Arlington Police Chief Theron Bowman, a member of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The award is a prized recognition of public safety professional excellence and is a voluntary process.
A team of CALEA assessors conducted an on-site assessment of the UTSA Police Department from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1, 2008. The assessors examined the department's policies and procedures, management, operations and support services and determined that the police department meets the commission's high standards for accreditation.
On Dec. 6, Hernandez, Kerry Kennedy (UTSA vice president for business affairs) and UTSAPD accreditation team members traveled to the CALEA conference in Tulsa, Okla., where Hernandez appeared before CALEA commissioners regarding the accreditation. The committee voted to award accredited status, bringing with it the honor of being the only accredited police agency in Bexar County.

I have a question concerning the type of data in my dataset.
I have data about five different bonds, with observations for the
time, the date and other variables, such as the bid and ask prices.
I would like to treat my data both as a time-series (i.e. paying no
attention to the type of bond) and as a panel-data.
However, when I use the command tsset I receive this message:
repeated time values in sample
I think that this is due to the fact that I have the same date for
different times and for different variables,because, for example, I
have at the same date a bid price for a given time, an ask price for
the same data and time and so on.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem both for time-series and panel-date?
It is not very clear to me what you wish to do but given a unit of
time, I assume you will want trading days, you can have only one
observation per panel variable, in this case either bond (bond A
midpoint - average of bid and ask) or bond/quote type (bond A/ask,
bond A/bid, etc.). You may wish to manipulate your data to gather the
last quote bid or ask for each trade day or else the last mid for each
trading day before running tsset. You may also wish to consider
converting your trading dates to an integer variable trading day
number so there are no gaps in your panel for weekends and trading
holidays. If you wish to go the other way toward trading day hours or
trading day minutes, you can keep more observations but your panel
will surely be unbalanced unless this is high frequency data.

On a side note - my wife and I spent several weekends in Oskaloosa when we were in school (she had a room-mate from there). Nice little town. I still remember the HS football team's mascot was a kid in a rocket outfit, and the nosecone kept falling over like it needed viagra or something. Funny how things like that come to mind almost 30 years later!
Glad to have you join our ranks.

At this time I'd like to announce that Bubba Clem aka Bubba The Love Sponge has purchased The Ocala Speedway.
I'm not really sure how to elaborate on my feelings at this point. Nevertheless, the most important thing is a big THANK YOU to our fans, drivers and staff over the years that have helped make The Ocala Speedway a success.
When Angie and I purchased the track my number one goal was to help see the speedway be around another 50 years. The track has never been "listed" for sale, however, I always felt if someone came along that I thought would take the track to another level I would sell it to them, that happened yesterday. Bubba has HUGE plans for the track, fans, staff and drivers.
I wish Bubba more success than I ever had and look forward to watching the oldest track in the state continue to thrive. Thank you again.
Godspeed, Michael Peters

Prostate Cryosurgery
Prostate Cancer: Treatment Options for Early-Stage Cancer
Treatment choices for a man with prostate cancer depend on several things. These include his age and overall health, size and location of the cancer, the results of lab tests, and the stage of the cancer. When prostate cancer is only in the prostate or has only spread to nearby areas, it is called early-stage prostate cancer. It's also called localized or local prostate cancer. Your health care provider may advise 1 or more of these treatments if you have early-stage prostate cancer.
Active surveillance
The goal of active surveillance is to watch a cancer that is growing very slowly and will not likely do any harm for a long time, if ever. Active surveillance is done because the treatments for prostate cancer can cause more harm than living with the disease. This may be a strategy for you if your cancer is only in the prostate, does not cause symptoms, and is not likely to shorten your life. If the cancer is growing or begins to cause symptoms, treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy may be done at that point.
The main goal of surgery is to cure you of prostate cancer by removing the cancer cells. The surgery removes the prostate. Nearby tissues and lymph nodes may also be removed. This surgery is known as a prostatectomy. If the cancer can't be removed with this type of surgery, your health care provider may advise other surgery to ease symptoms. One example is a transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURP.
This treatment is also called cryosurgery. The goal of cryotherapy is to freeze the cancer cells before they have a chance to spread. The health care provider freezes them by making a tiny incision and inserting a probe into the prostate. The probe sends liquid nitrogen into the prostate to freeze the cancer cells. This is not a common first treatment for prostate cancer.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses radioactive beams to kill or shrink cancer cells. There are 2 ways to have radiation therapy. One way sends radiation to the cancer from a source outside your body. For this, a machine sends a beam of radiation to your prostate. This is called external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). The other type of radiation therapy sends radiation to the cancer from a source inside your body. For this, tiny radioactive seeds are placed into your prostate using thin, hollow needles. Internal radiation is also called brachytherapy. Early-stage prostate cancer treatment may include EBRT alone, brachytherapy alone, or the 2 of them together. If your cancer is high-risk and may have spread to areas near the prostate, you may also have hormone therapy along with the radiation.
Making treatment decisions
Your health care provider may advise a specific treatment. Or he or she may offer more than 1, giving you a choice. This can be a hard decision to make. Each type of treatment has different benefits and risks. You may want to learn all you can about your disease and treatment choices so that you can make decisions about your care. You may have many questions. For example, you may want to know if treatment will affect your urinary or sexual function. You may want to know if you'll have to change your normal activities. Talk with your health care provider to get answers to your questions, and take the time to make the best decision for you.

Good Neighborhood is not always a Safe OneMany people think that living in a good neighborhood is all they need for home security. While you may know your neighbors and even like some of them, it isn't usually your neighbors that are the problem. But, it could be the people they know. Their relatives, friends or their children's friends, if they are teenagers. The people who visit your neighbors could notice your coming and going. They could take note of the times when you are not home. They could target your home for burglary. And so, believing you live in a safe neighborhood with neighbors that you trust can be a false sense of security. This is even worse in cities, where people often don't even know their neighbors and people are use to strangers coming and going at all hours. This is why it's important to find the best home security company that you can and to at least begin with a basic home security system. If you are looking for peace of mind and you have children, then a good home security system is vital. There are security systems that can notify you when your children arrive or depart. They can also notify you with alerts on you Android or Iphone and even remind you to arm your security system. Don't expect burglars to look like suspicious strangers hanging around the neighborhood. They are very good at fitting in and blending into the background. You will probably never know when a burglar is "casing" your house. They are opportunists so you should do what you can to deter burglary. Such as always locking your doors, leaving your lights on and doing what you can to give the impression that someone is home when you are on vacation or will be away for some time. When you practice security behavior and combine it with a good security system, your safety level greatly improves. … Keep reading
Tips to Choosing a Security CompanyWhat to look for in a home security company. Here are some tips of what to look for when choosing a home security company. Each company is unique and offers services in different ways. Those services are tailored to certain needs. You should pick the home security company that best fits your needs. Here are questions that you should ask: 1. Do they have good customer service? Are they willing to answer your questions precisely? What are the reviews of their customer service on the Internet? If possible, speak to other people who have service contracts with that company to determine if they are satisfied. … Keep reading
Avoidance is Essential in Home SecurityOne of the best ways to avoid problems with your home and to hold onto your peace of mind is to be creative when it comes to home security. A good start to this goal is installing home security systems that have unique features. Unique Prevention The instinct when it comes to home security can often be to fight off intruders yourself. But this is often not a good way to go because most thieves aren't looking to interact with you at all. The only time they will offer you violence is if you offer it first. Instead, what you want is one of the new and creative home alarm systems. Avoidance and deterrence is often way more effective after all, especially since what a thief is really worried about in the end is getting caught. … Keep reading
Home Security Systems for the ElderlyBurglar Alarm Systems Seniors are often targeted for burglaries because they may seem frail and easy to overpower. An home security system is essential for the safety and security of seniors who live alone. A home security system can protect seniors and their homes from intruders. Burglar alarms systems can detect glass breaking and the opening of a window or door. Once an intrusion is detected, the alarm will sound. If the alarm is not immediately disabled by the homeowner, the police will be summoned. Home security systems can also be programmed to call a list of numbers provided by the home owner in case an intrusion is detected. In some cities and towns, a burglar alarm permit is required. Municipal fees for false alarms may also apply. Medical Alert Systems Most seniors prefer to remain in their own home. In case of a fall or serious illness, the senior can communicate with family and emergency personnel using a medical alert system. Most medical alert transmitters are worn of the person's neck, wrist, belt or wheelchair. The senior can contact the emergency response center by pressing the alert button on the device. The emergency response operator will summon emergency medical personnel as well as the senior's family members or friends. … Keep reading
Caring for Your Elderly ParentsIf you have elderly family members that you need to take care of, investing in home security systems can be a really good idea. Having a home security monitoring system around to look after them can insure that there is always someone standing by in the event of any emergency situation. Sometimes you cannot always be there and when you can't it's great to have a home security camera and home security monitoring system that enables you to watch over your loved ones and property when you are away from the home. When you are looking at different home security systems, it's important to take into consideration the special needs of your own home. You want to get the right home alarm systems option that is going to work best for you and the family. Choose the right home security camera for optimal home security monitoring and more. When it comes to the security of your family, you don't want to leave it up to chance and the risk that you won't be victimized. Be sure that your family is in safe hands with a top quality home security monitoring system that will respond to any threat immediately. … Keep reading

Fully recharge your computer battery and start this script.
It will create or clean the file named battery.txt, print a start on it and every minute it will append a time stamp to it.
Batteries last few hours, and each hour will have 60 lines of time stamping. Really good for assuring the system was tested in real life with no surprises.
The last time stamp inside the battery.txt file is of interest. It is the time the computer went off, as the battery was dead!
Turn on your computer after that, on AC power of course, and open battery.txt. Read the first and last time stamps and now you really know if you can trust your computer sensors.
If you want a simple line of text inside the battery.txt file, use this:
watch -n 60 'date > battery.txt'

You can display, save and restore the value of $IFS using conventional Bash commands, but these functions, which you can add to your ~/.bashrc file make it really easy.
To display $IFS use the function ifs shown above. In the sample output, you can see that it displays the characters and their hexadecimal equivalent.
This function saves it in a variable called $saveIFS:
sifs () { saveIFS=$IFS; }
Use this function to restore it
rifs () { IFS=$saveIFS; }
Add this line in your ~/.bashrc file to save a readonly copy of $IFS:
declare -r roIFS=$IFS
Use this function to restore that one to $IFS
rrifs () { IFS=$roIFS; }
Makes use of $RANDOM environment variable.
Using the standard numeric comparison but suppressing the STDERR output acts as the simplest way to check a value is numeric. See sample output for some examples.
Lists crontab for all users on system that have crontabs.
Very useful for interactive scripts where you would like to return the terminal contents to its original state before the script was run. This would be similar to how vi exits and returns you to your original terminal screen.
Save and clear the terminal contents with:
tput smcup
Execute some commands, then restore the saved terminal contents with:
tput rmcup
This is how I list the crontab for all the users on a given system that actually have a crontab.
You could wrap it with a function block and place it in your .profile or .bashrc for quick access.
There's prolly a simpler way to do this. Discuss.

The IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist (STAR) Program was developed to address the growing concern that, at a young age, girls are discouraged from careers in mathematics, science, and engineering.
This educational outreach program promotes involvement of IEEE members with local junior high and high schools in order to create a positive image of engineering careers.
Through a one-to-one interaction between society volunteers and a Student-Teacher Team, STAR's aim is to create a technical support network for teachers and a mentoring program for students.
The goal is to create consistent reporting for WIE groups, as well as our WIE members conducting outreach. WIE must report and communicate consistently in order for our reporting to be accurate and clearly understood.
Therefore, the redefinition of our current "STAR" program will include the following reportable pre-university outreach:
The best way to get started is to identify a school or group (such as a Girl Scout Troop) to work with. Some suggestions include:
Call the principal or headmaster at your school of choice and introduce yourself. Ask the principal to recommend an energetic science teacher who would be interested in this program. Contact the teacher to set up a meeting.
Next, visit the school to speak and meet with the teacher. Be prepared to discuss a curriculum or plan for the mentoring activities. Some suggested activities are as follows.
If you are interested in participating in the STAR Program, please contact WIE.
Please donate to the IEEE Women in Engineering fund.

Short power outage in Columbia
Power outage prompts question whether more outages can happen in the summer
COLUMBIA, Mo. - About 450 people in central Columbia were without power for about 30 minutes Friday. Columbia Water and Light officials tell ABC 17 News a line clamp failed.
They say it was an older line and believe the clamp had been damaged by weather.
With the first stretch of hot weather on the horizon, ABC 17 News wanted to know if the city is expecting more outages like this.
City officials say as the temperatures rise they know there's going to be more strain put on the system. But they're not really worried about the heat.
Water and Light officials tell us outages in the summer months are mainly caused by weather, but they say heat isn't the biggest culprit.
"We're able to balance that from circuit to circuit quite readily with out field switches out on the distribution system itself," Columbia Water and Light Assistant Director Ryan Williams said.
What officials are most concerned about are rapidly changing winds. It's particularly concerning to them because they're predicting a record setting year for electricity usage.
In 2011, they received the highest peak the city has ever seen at 277 megawatts. Last summer got close but didn't break records. This summer, city leaders estimate the city will hit 285 megawatts.
Water and Light officials say they've taken lessons from previous hot summers. They tell us they can now manage the load factors better.
Electric officials tell us if there is an outage, there are systems in place to that can pinpoint where the fault is and lessen the total amount of time there is an outage. But they have to constantly watch the levels.
"Loads on the different feeders may pick up at different rates and we may actively switch those around to balance the load out that if an outage does occur it impacts the least amount of folks as possible," Williams said.
Unfortunately, Water and Light officials can't predict when or where an outage will happen, but they do believe they have done all they can to prevent these outages from happening.

Bachmann: Gardasil causes "mental retardation"
posted at 10:45 am on September 13, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
Earlier today, I noted that Michele Bachmann finally scored points on Rick Perry by hitting him on his ties to Merck and linking that to the Gardasil mandate Perry imposed through executive order in Texas. This is a fair point on Perry's record, even given his apology for pursuing the mandate through EO instead of through the legislature, and it's not surprising that Bachmann was the candidate to first take advantage of the opening. (Mitt Romney passed a mandate on health insurance for all citizens of Massachusetts, which pretty much puts this issue out of reach for him.) However, Bachmann took a winning argument about the method and the wisdom of mandating a vaccination for a limited-spread virus and turned it into an anti-vaccination argument, especially in this post-debate argument on Fox with Greta van Susteren (via The Right Scoop):
There's a woman who came up crying to me tonight after the debate. She said her daughter was given that vaccine. She told me her daughter suffered mental retardation as a result of that vaccine.
Huh? "Mental retardation" typically takes place in a pre- or neo-natal event. Autism becomes apparent in the first couple of years of life — and primarily affects boys. Gardasil vaccinations take place among girls between 9-12 years of age. Even assuming that this anecdote is arguably true, it wouldn't be either "mental retardation" or autism, but brain damage.
The FDA has received no reports of brain damage as a result of HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix. Among the reports that correlate seriously adverse reactions to either, the FDA lists blood clots, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and 68 deaths during the entire run of the drugs. The FDA found no causal connection to any of these serious adverse events and found plenty of contributing factors to all — and all of the events are exceedingly rare.
The "mental retardation" argument is a rehash of the thoroughly discredited notion that vaccines containing thimerasol caused a rapid increase in diagnosed autism cases. That started with a badly-botched report in Lancet that allowed one researcher to manipulate a ridiculously small sample of twelve cases in order to reach far-sweeping conclusions about thimerasol. That preservative hasn't been included in vaccines for years, at least not in the US, and the rate of autism diagnoses remain unchanged.
The most charitable analysis that can be offered in this case for Bachmann is that she got duped into repeating a vaccine-scare urban legend on national television. It looks more like Bachmann sensed that she had won a point and wanted to go in for the kill, didn't bother to check the facts, and didn't care that she was stoking an anti-vaccination paranoid conspiracy theory, either. Neither shines a particularly favorable light on Bachmann.
Rick Santorum took the correct position on the Gardasil issue. We mandate certain vaccines in children because we mandate children be gathered for educational purposes for many years (in private or public schools), and certain diseases are easily communicable in those settings. By mandating vaccinations against whooping cough, measles, and mumps, we are protecting children who would otherwise get exposed without any action on their part except compliance with the law. That's not true with HPV, and parents should decide for themselves whether to inoculate their sons and daughters with Gardasil or Cervarix. If Perry wanted to make those inoculations more accessible, he could have crafted an opt-in system rather than forcing parents to opt out.
Update: Politico's Ben Smith notes that Bachmann's statement is getting some pushback in the health sector:
The alleged link between vaccination and mental disabilities — autism is the one frequently cited — has been repeatedly debunked, with the key research on the issue in a British journal withdrawn years ago. But the theory has lived on, and contributed to declining vaccine rates and — advocates for autistic children say — scientific distraction.
"Congresswoman Bachmann's decision to spread fear of vaccines is dangerous and irresponsible," said Evan Siegfried, a spokesman for the Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership. "There is zero credible scientific evidence that vaccines cause mental retardation or autism. She should cease trying to foment fear in order to advance her political agenda."
"Irresponsible" is correct, and a bad tactical error, too. Instead of highlighting Perry's faulty actions in Texas, she made herself and (at best) her ignorance on the matter the story.

Daddy Mojo and Playboy.com's Cigar Box Guitar Giveaway
Playboy.com and Daddy Mojo joined forces to create a custom cigar box guitar for one lucky winner. Enter to win now.
Daddy Mojo, maker of handmade cigar box guitars, and Playboy.com have teamed up to bring one lucky winner a one-of-a-kind custom guitar with the Playboy magazine May 1964 cover on the front.
To enter, simply tweet @Playboydotcom the artist you would like to hear playing this guitar using #Mojogiveaway.
Yes, it's just that easy.
Check out the rules and regulations here.
Daddy Mojo co-founders, Luca "Tripydee" Tripaldi and Lenny Piroth-Robert, have been in the guitar business for over seven years and have grabbed the attention of some of the best musicians in the business, including The Edge from U2, Jack White from White Stripes, Band of Horses, Jeff Tweedy from Wilco and the Counting Crows.
We sat down with Lenny Piroth-Robert to find out how he got into the business and to get a sneak peek into his workshop.
Make sure to check out the video of Piroth-Robert playing the guitar.
Playboy.com: When I think about cigar box guitars, I immediately associate them with Bo Diddley. What cigar box blues artist means the most to you?
Piroth-Robert: Actually, Bo Diddley's instrument apparently was made out of recycled wood from an old door.
Blind Willie Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins and Big Bill Broonzy would be some of my favorite musicians who've used or made themselves a cigar box guitar at some point in their career.
Playboy.com: What's the major difference between the sound of a Stratocaster and one of your guitars?
Piroth-Robert: Well, factory-made guitars nowadays are made on the assembly line. Fender guitars were once made by hand…in the 1950s. A great heritage indeed, but an entirely different process than ours.
My background is in visual arts, and Luca (my coworker) studied animation and interdisciplinary art, and we are both huge guitar aficionados with very eclectic musical tastes. As a result, each guitar we make is handmade, hand-tooled…an individual functional work of art of sorts.
Playboy.com: Who has been the most interesting artist to work with in terms of creating a piece? Why?
Piroth-Robert: We get the opportunity to collaborate with incredible musicians on a regular basis. Right now we are working on a banjo for a local Montreal musician which is made from his mother's old steel lunch box. The object has been in his family for years. When his mom passed away he brought it to our shop and asked us to make an instrument he could play onstage and record with. These opportunities are humbling, to say the least. We've worked on an interesting Guembri/cigar box hybrid for Andrew Whiteman of the band Broken Social Scene; we've also made a custom guitar for Kat Von D's High Voltage Tattoo shop in L.A. When U2 was in town last summer they also picked up one of our custom relic instruments which was hand-painted by Luca. That was really cool.
Playboy.com: What has been the most unique order you've received?
Piroth-Robert: We made an instrument that served as a giveaway raffle present for a big biker gang in Florida. The guitar was motorcycle inspired, of course. They even got us to silk-screen their logo on the soundboard. We also made one guitar where the body was a fully functional humidor.
Playboy.com: How are you integrating new technology into such a longstanding craft?
Piroth-Robert: The point of many of the early CBGs wasn't necessarily to be well crafted. Traditionally, these instruments were quite rudimentary, made from a discarded cigar box, a broomstick and some wire. What really mattered was getting a sound and a groove going. We've kept the original vibe and coolness of these guitars but have adapted them for the 21st century player. Things that are important to us are sound, intonation and playability. We've somewhat adapted modern lutherie techniques to this age-old way of building guitars.
Playboy.com: What's your biggest challenge with creating your pieces?
Piroth-Robert: Probably getting the instrument to sound bigger than what you would imagine coming out of a relatively small sound box. We've been experimenting with small six-inch aluminum resonator cones and integrating them to the guitar bodies by creating a sound well to this effect…A Dobro/resonator cigar box guitar of sorts.
Playboy.com: What song do you think sounds best played on a cigar box guitar?
Piroth-Robert: The four- and five-string models are great for roots and blues music in open tuning with a bottleneck slide. The six-string models are more versatile. We've had a wide and eclectic range of musicians playing our instruments, from roots to indie to experimental avant-garde and noise. In the end it all comes down to wherever you want to take it.
Playboy.com: Is this kind of guitar your preferred instrument?
Piroth-Robert: Our guitars are like our children and we love them all.
Playboy.com: If someone's looking to purchase a custom guitar, what are three things they should always ask the luthier?
Piroth-Robert: If the builder will appoint the instrument's dimensions to the client's request, the types of woods that are available for the instrument and the time frame and price range for an instrument to be completed.
Playboy.com: What's your first memory of Playboy? Why did you want to collaborate?
Piroth-Robert: Playboy was the first publication to take notice of us when we started this company, and we certainly noticed Playboy at a time when we were too young to do so. We are very proud to be working together yet again.
Playboy.com: What inspires you to keep creating your pieces? What's on the horizon for you?
Piroth-Robert: Talking and sharing ideas with clients, musicians and friends. We are presently working on releasing a line of full-fledged solid body and hollow body electric guitars. A 15-watt tube guitar amplifier as well as a very cool and vintage-inspired guitar pedal are also in the works.

He's either hungry or he's not. The kid is undoubtly talented. The only thing that will stop him is himself. We will see, but if he doesn't get it together this season, I dont expect he ever will.

The U18 Rush Pikes Peak Nike Boys saw off Storm Copa in a thrilling match for the Colorado State Cup Championship on Sunday. With only 5 minutes left in the second period of extra time, a corner from Owen Brailey found Alex Tilberry flying in at the near post to head in the game-winner.
The game was edged by Rush in the first half but although they were dominant in the shots on goal category, the game was tied 0-0 at the half way point. 15 minutes into the second half a scuffle resulted In a player from each team being sent off leaving each team a man down. With about 12 minutes left in the half another corner found its way to Nestor Hernandez, who rifled the ball in the top corner to put Rush up 1-0 (Nestor would earn game MVP honors for his efforts on the day).
Unfortunately the lead lasted less than 5 minutes and another set piece saw Storm draw level.
As the game moved into extra time, there were many tired legs and players cramping, and with 5 minutes gone in the first half of extra time Storm had another player sent off for a second yellow card. This proved too much to overcome for Storm and with 5 minutes remaining Alex got the winner.
The boys now head off to Honolulu to represent Colorado at the Regional Championships in June.
Congratulations to the whole team – Head Coach Nik Penn, Assistant Coach/Ball Boy Brek Foulk, Erich Frey, Jacob Calhoun, Seth Edick, Andrew Bell, Alex Tilberry, Justin Glivar, Eric Cano, Nestor Hernandez, Evan Young, Christian Ramirez, Austin Linkous, Schyuler Vandersluis, Brandon Toves, Aaron Archer, Jared Foulk, Jonah Hady and Owen Brailey.
The win marks the return of Rush Pikes Peak to Far West Regionals. The current 18 boys were last at Regionals as U15's in Albuquerque in 2010. They will look to improve on a 1-2 record in the opening round when they arrive in Honolulu in just over a month.

Students at Virginia Intermont concerned about future
BRISTOL, Va. - It is a place with a great history of excellence, perhaps best known for its award-winning equine program.
Virginia Intermont College also has a recent history of money problems, including current financial issues.
The school has been put on probation by its accreditation agency and we wanted to know how serious the money issues are.
Some students at the small private college say they're having the same problem and tonight, they are worried about the future.
"VI has been struggling with finances for several years. This is nothing new. Nothing that's come up over the past 6 months, it's something that's been happening," said Ronda Gentry, Vice President of Institutional Advancement.
Gentry has heard concerns about the school's financial standing. Concerns from those on and off campus. We asked about the money situation, specifically what are the current issues: "What is the hardest thing you are dealing with, with your finances," Megan Brantley asked. "Well, finances are hard," said Gentry.
The only thing she would say was it stemmed from years of struggling and the after-effects of the bad economy. Some students told me there's been the same lack of information when they inquire too. "Um.. it makes me really nervous," said Aaron Bradley, Junior at Virginia Intertmont.
"They think they're being open with us and I guess they are, but they're saying it in such lawyer-like terms and such ways that I don't understand what they're talking about," said Rachel Eppard, Senior at Virginia Intermont.
Eppard says the two things she does know is the school is in trouble financially and so is their accreditation. "If the school doesn't have enough money then obviously it's going to close down," said Eppard.
While she wouldn't give me specifics on the financial problems, Gentry did say VI has no intentions of closing. "We've been around for 100 years, I fully expect us to be around for 100 more. Closing is not an option for us. It's not something we want to do or expect to do," said Gentry.
She says they're working to rebuild and change. "We're creating and building a strong foundation, cleaning up our practices so we are better accountable to the way we handle funds," said Gentry.
Gentry says it will take time to fix the financial woes.
"This isn't something you cure overnight, Dr. Phillips and the administration have been working on it for 2-3 years and it's going to take a few more years to make sure we do it well," said Gentry.
Now we asked to see financial records, but Virginia Intermont would not disclose this year's finances.
When we asked about talking to students on campus, VI officials promptly escorted us out of the building and watched us drive away.

Giants' Andre Brown can run, but he can't block
Excerpt: "The Giants planned that running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown would split the snaps, and carries, at about 50/50 last week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
But Bradshaw played 58 of the 68 offensive snaps. Brown was in on just nine and had five carries for 14 yards.
On Thursday, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride gave the simple answer: The Giants don't trust Brown enough in pass protection, and they had been forced to throw more than they had planned.
Brown knows that's the case and is looking to improve as a pass blocker." Read more..
Kenny Phillips, Rocky Bernard, Ramses Barden ruled out for Browns' game
Excerpt: "The Giants will be without two starting defensive players -- DT Rocky Bernard (quadricep) and S Kenny Phillips (knee) -- as well as WR Ramses Barden (concussion) for this week's game against the Browns.
Receiver Hakeem Nicks had already been ruled out with foot and knee injuries. CB Jayron Hosley (hamstring) is also out." Read more...
Giants waiting to see if Trent Richardson can back up talk
Excerpt: "The 71-word answer had already circulated through the Giants defense less than 24 hours after Browns rookie running back spewed it Thursday.
"Oh yeah," was how Richardson began his response when asked if the Browns could find success on the ground around the edge against the Giants defense Sunday on a conference call with reporters.
Richardson, based on the Giants' performance last week against LeSean McCoy and the Eagles, may have good reason to be confident.
The Giants are waiting to see if he'll back it up." Read more...
Like the Giants, the Browns may have to rely on a rookie wide receiver on Sunday
Excerpt: "The Giants are hampered with injuries and need rookie Rueben Randle to step up Sunday. Well, the Browns are in a similar predicament. With Mohamed Massaquoi and Travis Benjamin likely out against the Giants, Cleveland will lean on rookie Josh Gordon.
A second-round pick in the supplemental draft out of Baylor, Gordon has just seven catches for 93 yards on the season. But the 21-year-old "had the best practice of his professional career," according to offensive coordinator Brad Childress, via Jodie Valade of The Plain Dealer." Read more...
Eagles' loss "10 times more difficult" to move on from at this point in Tom Coughlin's career
Excerpt: "Tom Coughlin is in his 17th season as an NFL head coach. That doesn't make losses like Sunday's 19-17 defeat to the Eagles any easier.
In fact, Coughlin said his experience makes such close calls even harder to move on from.
"It's 10 times more difficult," the Giants coach said in his weekly interview with the team's official website.
"Losing, it kills you," he continued. "For whatever reason, whether there's somewhere in your mind back down the road about having success…you just think, particularly based on our experiences, that when we're in that position, we're going to win." Read more...
Giants get several players back on practice field before Browns' game
Excerpt: "The Giants got a handful of key players back on the practice field today, two days before facing the Browns at home.
Notably, RG Chris Snee (hip), S Antrel Rolle (knee) and CB Corey Webster (hand/hamstring) were participating in the portion of practice open to the media after sitting out yesterday. C David Baas (hand) and CB Michael Coe (hamstring) were also working after practicing fully yesterday." Read more...
Browns' Trent Richardson sees room to run around edge of Giants' defense
Excerpt: "Last week was not a banner week for the Giants in defending the run. In their loss to the Eagles, they bled away 191 rushing yards. And 132 yards of those yards were recorded as runs around the right or left end.Browns running back Trent Richardson took note of that trend while preparing for this week's game, and the rookie says he sees space to pick up yards on the edge against the Giants.
"Oh yeah," Richardson said on a conference call with the New York media today. "If we put a hat on a number, just cover them up, I think we can get yards on 'em. But at the same time, I know they're going to throw everything they can at us. I'm pretty sure they're going to game plan on our running game, and so we've got to make sure we open up the passing game so we can get some good runs in." Read more...
Giants' defensive ends aren't having much fun
Excerpt: "The Giants are 2-2. The defense has generated just eight sacks through the quarter pole of the season and the defensive end trio of Jason Pierre-Paul (1.5 sacks), Osi Umenyiora (2) and Justin Tuck (0) have combined for just 3.5 of them. It's been a frustrating start.
There have been a variety of reasons. A lack of discipline up front. A reluctance to blitz due to a decimated secondary. Offenses' focus on throwing the ball quickly.
And the defensive ends, quite simply, aren't having much fun." Read more...
Practice Notes: Barden still MIA
Excerpt: "Ramses Barden hasn't practiced all week, thanks to the late-game concussion he sustained in Philadelphia. And that didn't change on Friday.
The big wide receiver was nowhere to be found at practice, and it's starting to seem likely that he won't play on Sunday." Read more...
Giants' wary of Browns' rookies
Excerpt: "There are no such things as breathers in the NFL, particularly if you're the defending Super Bowl champions like the Giants.
The natural inclination would be to look at a young team such as Cleveland, winless in its first four games, starting a rookie at quarterback and a rookie at running back, and think that you can slip one past the Browns. And after facing two mobile, strong-armed quarterbacks with the ability to beat you with their arms and legs (Cam Newton and Michael Vick), you could think about relaxing against the Browns at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon. That would be foolish for the Giants.
There is an opportunity here for the Giants — a chance to solidify their defense, which hasn't had the consistent pop you'd expect from a unit that was rock-solid in last season's playoff run.
The deficiencies have been especially noticeable in stopping the run and in the pass rush.
If there is a game on the schedule for the Giants defense to bare its fangs, this is it — even if the defense is a little banged up. The Giants haven't been as aggressive up front as they would like because they're missing valuable pieces in the secondary such as safety Kenny Phillips.
"There are certain things you can't do against Vick and Cam Newton that you can do with other quarterbacks without a trailer like Kenny Phillips back there," said Giants defensive end Justin Tuck. "We'll see on Sunday." Read more...
Giants' lack of sacks no fun for JPP, Giants
Excerpt: "When Jason Pierre-Paul was at his best, he felt like a big kid on the football field. Everything came easily. Everything seemed fun.SITE LINK
He isn't having fun anymore.
That, as much as anything, explains why the once dominant Giants defensive end has just 1½ sacks through the first quarter of the season, and why the once-powerful Giants pass rush has been so ineffective this season. Pierre-Paul said he has struggled under the weight of incredibly high expectations, which has helped take some of the joy out of his game.
"I'm not having that fun I'm used to," the 23-year-old said on Thursday. "I've just got to go out there and run around like a little kid — just be happy that you're out there and make plays. Have that energy that I had last year.
"And that'll go for the other guys, too. You could see it in their eyes that they're not having fun with the game. They've got to find themselves and I've got to find myself." Read more...
Giants; Coughlin: At this age, losing kills you
Excerpt: "The older he gets, the more the losses hurt and stay with him.
"It's 10 times more difficult,'' at this stage of his career, Tom Coughlin admitted in an interview with Giants.com.
Coughlin, 66, and the Giants are coming off a 19-17 loss to the Eagles and Coughlin has reviewed the last minute of that game in his mind countless times, figuring what he could have done differently. "It's not healthy,'' Coughlin says but yet it's what he does.
"Losing, it kills you,'' Coughlin said. "We had a minute and something left. We're going to win the game. Now, to be honest with you, we always have our timeouts preserved and if we had one timeout in our pocket, I believe we're going to win the game.' Read more...
Giants' defense set for Funday
Excerpt: "Jason Pierre-Paul took a good, hard look in the mirror this week and didn't like what he saw staring back at him.
He didn't see the happy-go-lucky face of the Monster of the Meadowlands, the giant among Giants who was destined to strike fear into the hearts of quarterbacks around the league and arrive in Canton on roller skates. He saw a young man in the prime of his NFL life who was no longer having the fun he so often did his first two seasons in the league.
Someone who has learned the same cruel lessons of NFL life they all learn, unless your name is Lawrence Taylor: You don't just show up in Superman's cape and wait for the enemy to swoon at your feet." Read more...
Giants' secondary having trouble staying on the field
Excerpt: "There are times, many of them, when Justin Tuck doesn't know who is on the field with him. Doesn't know exactly who is in and who is out in the secondary.
"Do I always know who's back there? No, I don't,'' Tuck said yesterday. "There were some times [against the Eagles] I looked up and saw Will Hill back there. I didn't know Will Hill started until halfway through the game. So, no, I don't.''
Tuck can be pardoned for scratching his head and wondering what the heck is going on along the back end. It's been a turnstile leading to the defensive backfield, with players coming, going, in, out, up and down. The same starting group hasn't been together for a single game and this week is no exception. There were five defensive starters sitting out yesterday's practice and three of them — cornerback Corey Webster and safeties Antrel Rolle and Kenny Phillips — reside in the defensive backfield. Another player who has started this season, rookie cornerback Jayron Hosley, also sat out." Read more...
Giants' JPP: "I'm not having that fun I used to"
Excerpt: "The much-hyped Giants defensive line is falling far short of expectations and as a result, the enjoyment this season isn't nearly what it's supposed to be.
"I won't say it's not fun, I'll just say I'm not having that fun I used to,'' Jason Pierre-Paul said on Thursday. "I just got to go out there and run around like a little kid, just be happy you're out there and have to make plays and stuff.''
All that reckless abandon Pierre-Paul displayed en route to his breakout 2011 season hasn't been seen in full-effect this season. He has only 1 1/2 sacks and the other pass-rushing defensive ends haven't fared much better. Osi Umenyiora has two sacks and Justin Tuck is still looking for his first one.
"That goes for the other guys too … you can see it in their eyes they're not having fun with the game,'' Pierre-Paul said. "They got to find themselves and I got to find myself. I'm doing something to find myself.'' Read more...
Eli an equal opportunity teacher, teammate for Giants
Excerpt: "Before he was Eli Manning, two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback, before he was one-time Super Bowl MVP, back when he was a famous player but not nearly a great one, back when there was every reason to wonder what legacy he would leave behind, Manning shared.
It is one of his most underrated assets. As he mastered his position, he quickly realized it would do him no good if those around him, even the roster bottom-feeders, did not know what he knew.
"I came from Denver, my first day of practice, know none of the plays,'' receiver Domenik Hixon said yesterday, recalling a day in October of 2007. "I ran a route and Eli came, pulled me to the side and said 'This is what I'm expecting.' I kind of was like 'Wow.' I'm the last guy on the depth chart at receiver but just in case I ought to know what to do." Read more...
Vinny DiTrani's NFL picks
Excerpt: "After two subpar weeks we try a technique Bill Parcells used to get out of a funk: take a ride down the shore. There's something about waves loudly crashing onto the beach and the pungent aroma of dead sea matter that can clear the brain. With greetings from the Jersey Shore, here are this weekend's selections. Hopefully they will turn the tide.
Browns over *Giants, getting 9 — The Giants usually manage to keep this type of game closer than it should be.
And this one is sandwiched between Philly and Frisco." Read more...
The Coughlin Corner: Set for Browns
Excerpt: "The Coughlin Corner, Giants.com's exclusive weekly interview with head coach Tom Coughlin
Q: When you've been an NFL coach for 17 years, you're inevitably going to have disappointing games like the 19-17 loss last week in Philadelphia, but you have the next game. At this stage of your career, is it harder or easier to move on from those games?
Coughlin: "It's 10 times more difficult."
Q: Is it really?
Coughlin: "Losing, it kills you. For whatever reason, whether there's somewhere in your mind back down the road about having success…you just think, particularly based on our experiences, that when we're in that position, we're going to win. We had a minute and something left. We're going to win the game. Now, to be honest with you, we always have our timeouts preserved and if we had one timeout in our pocket, I believe we're going to win the game.Lawrence Tynes
"Everybody wants to know about (the last) 15 seconds. Well, let me just tell you about the 15 seconds. With no timeouts, the ball cannot go inside. You're not going to get another play off. We practice what we call 'cobra' all the time and 'cobra' means the guy who catches the ball gives himself up and declares himself down. You run up on the ball, but when we do it on the practice field, there's no umpire. There's nobody that has to put the ball down. There's nobody waiting for the signal. Eighteen seconds – maybe you can do it. Maybe 15 seconds. I don't care if it's a five-yard gain, that's the last play of the game.
"Over all the years of experience that I've had in this league, if you get to one play - I tell this to our defensive coordinator - you get to one play and the team has no timeouts, you're going to have people stacked along the sideline. Now does that mean you don't try it? No, of course it doesn't mean you don't try it, but what it means is the chances…there are two or three things that can go wrong. One is a pick if you're forcing it. Two is if you don't get out of bounds and three – you're taking a chance. We're right on the cusp of what his (kicker) distance was. You're taking a chance on anything happening. Of course, if you're sacked, the game is over. If it's a tip-ball interception, the game is over. Whatever it is. They know where the ball is going. You have to go to the sideline. So there's risk involved in that, too.
"The third variable that people don't think about is you're on the road. If there's anything in terms of management or anything like that type of a thing, it just doesn't factor in the way you want to operate. My number one thing was we were going to kick a field goal to win the game. I was not going to put our team in a situation where we walk off the field, saying, 'Well, we never really had a chance to kick it.' Were we able to react well after the ( offensive pass interference) penalty? No. Obviously, we didn't. That would have been the time for, and we almost did get it out of bounds when he scrambled and threw it up and it was right off (Domenik) Hixon's fingertips, but those are the kinds of things that happen in a game like this.
"When we're in that position, we believe we're going to win. The other factor you have to understand is that if you normally send somebody out to kick a field goal on third down, the other guy is a little hesitant about what you're up to. Which means there is a chance you may not get the rush they normally would have. Now, that's not what happened. They came with everything they had, but there are people that will play that in a more conservative role because it's third down.
"To your original question, which I didn't spend any time answering, the losses are much more difficult to get over the further you are in your career. They're killers. You don't sleep. I went on that couch right there at 3 o'clock in the morning and I could not get to sleep because, to be honest with you, I kept going over, over and over saying, 'How could I have helped our team when it was 15 seconds left?' Of course, I've got all the scenarios the next morning. Sure, it's easy. But who's telling you a 44-yarder is an easy field goal? We had made two yards on a run and they know we're throwing the ball." Read more..

Mitch Petrus would likely start for Giants if Chris Snee is unable to play
Excerpt: "Only a month ago, offensive lineman Mitch Petrus was without a job. TheNew York Giants had waived their 2010 fifth-round pick in favor of D.J. Jones, who was awarded to the team off of waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles, but Petrus was immediately brought back after Jones failed his physical. Now, as Big Blue enters a crucial week five game with the Cleveland Browns, Petrus not only has his job, but may actually start for the defending Super Bowl champions.
"Next guy. Probably be Mitch Petrus," offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said when asked who would start for Chris Snee if he was unable to play on Sunday." Read more...
Giants' Justin Tuck says he sucks while Jason Pierre-Paul "not having fun"
Excerpt: "The New York Giants are 2-2 going into week five of the NFL regular season, but given the fan reaction, media coverage and player statements you'd think they were about to be contracted. That negativity continued on Thursday as another eight players missed practice, while the defensive line was uncharacteristically open about their current predicament.
"I'm not having that fun I'm used to," Jason Pierre-Paul said. "I don't have that energy like I had last year. And that goes for the other guys, too. You can see it in their eyes that they're not having fun with the game. They got to find [themselves] and I got to find myself so I'm just looking to find myself."
Defensive captain and fellow defensive end Justin Tuck echoed his teammate's statements about not having fun, but took it a step further. As he did a year ago, Tuck criticized his own play … bluntly. And for the second time in as many seasons, the veteran says he "sucks." Read more...
Tom Coughlin's Thursday press conference notes
Excerpt: "Here are some of the highlights from the Thursday afternoon meeting with reporters held by New York Giants' coach Tom Coughlin.
Injury stuff
-- Antrel Rolle did not practice due to swelling in his left knee, but Coughlin said he is "hoping and feeling" Rolle will play Sunday vs. the Cleveland Browns.
-- Coughlin said he is confident cornerback Michael Coe will play, but did not say the same for Jayron Hosley." Read more...
Perry Fewell knows Giants' defensive ends are frustrated
NExcerpt: " York Giants' defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said Thursday he knows that teams are game-planning to combat the Giants' plethora of pass-rushing defensive ends.Here is a little more from Fewell's Thursday press conference." Read more...
"Oh yeah, people are doing some different things to try and protect against us, they're getting the ball out quick, but you know, no matter what, you have to play the game," Fewell said. "When teams counter and do something to take you out of your game, you're going to be a little frustrated, but it's a long season. The thing we have to make sure is that we play within the framework of our defense, we play within the framework of the team. We're not selfish, we go out and play how we're supposed to play."
Giants' special teams are special - really!
Excerpt: "For most of the past few years, adequate special teams play has seemingly been good enough for the New York Giants. as long as the special teams groups did not hurt the Giants -- which they sometimes did -- that seemed to be acceptable.
This season, though, the Giants' special teams have truly been special." Read more...
Giants vs. Browns: Five questions with "Dawgs By Nature
Excerpt: "There are a lot of terrific football writers on the SB Nation Network who I rarely get the opportunity to interact with. Chris Pokorny of SB Nation'sCleveland Browns web site, 'Dawgs By Nature,' is one of those. With theGiants hosting the Browns this week I swapped some questions with Chris about Sunday's game.
Below, 'Five questions with Dawgs By Nature.'

NFL Week 5 predictions: Mikey's crustal ball
Excerpt: "Wow. Mikey's Crystal Ball was looking great at 10-3 before Lawrence Tynesdropped a near impossible boot 2 yards short and became Tony Romo again. But 10-5 is better than 4-12 any day. With that, let's have a look at Week 5.....
Cleveland at NY Giants-If you are not nervous, you are not paying attention. I want Tom Coughlin to convince the Giants that this is the Super Bowl, because otherwise they will start looking ahead to San Francisco, and I want them to remember that beat down suffered in Cleveland four years ago on Monday night, that I think was also in Week 5. There was Week 5's home loss to the Seahawks last year. Then there is the obvious-you absolutely cannot lose to an 0-4 team. Giants 27, Browns 13" Read more...
Giants' Osi Umenyiora challenges Brown's RB Trent Richardson
Excerpt: " New York Giants veteran defensive end Osi Umenyiora issued a challenge to confident Cleveland Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson.
"If (Trent) looks on tape and he thinks he sees some candy, come try and get it," Umenyiora said Friday.
Umenyiora's challenge came in response to comments Richardson made earlier in the week."I think that if we cover the edges and run hard, no doing all this juking and that, one move and go, I think we can have success in the running game," Richardson said.The Giants rank 22nd in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing 118.3 yards per game.Last Sunday night, Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy rushed for 123 yards against them on 23 carries, an average of 5.3 yards per attempt. As a team, the Eagles ran for 191 yards on 36 carries." Read more...
Richardson, 21, Cleveland's first-rounder out of Alabama, has rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on 64 carries.
Giants' Hakeem Nicks to miss 3rd straight game
Excerpt: " New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks will miss his third straight game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, coach Tom Coughlin announced Thursday.
Nicks is still bothered by his surgically repaired foot, which he had operated on back in May. He also is suffering from pain in his knee.
"It's a combination," Coughlin said.Coughlin said the plan right now is just to rest Nicks until he is able to get back on the field. Nicks' status beyond this week is undetermined.A four-year veteran, Nicks had 14 catches for 237 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' first two games of the year. He has had more than 1,000 yards receiving in each of the past two seasons." Read more...
Giants' depth will be on display against Browns on Sunday
Excerpt: "Michael Boley believes that one of the main reasons the New York Giants won the Super Bowl last season - and remain a solid contender this year in their eyes - is their depth straight across the board.Look no further than on the defensive line.
''You have guys who are willing to step up and fill in,'' said Boley, a linebacker who remains on the Giants' injury report with a hip problem. ''We have a lot of athletes on this team that can step up and play at any time. It shows the team's character. It shows that guys are always prepared.
''We have guys who know that this week could be their turn.''Marvin Austin and Markus Kuhn are two players who realize that Sunday might be their chance to shine along the defensive line. And playing a young and winless team - Cleveland (0-4) - might be a good starting off point." Read more...
PFF Pick 'EM: Week 5
Excerpt: "Week 4 was one of those weeks where a blindfolded dart-tosser could have collected. So many picks that made sense and so many of them coming through. The entire staff (well, sorry Steve, almost the entire staff) posted great cards and, yes, my 12-2 led the way. Included in my pair of misses was a particularly stinging one where the faith I had in Oakland to actually show up in Denver was not repaid. I will not be picking the Raiders this week.
We are now a combined 21-4 when agreeing across the board and you'll find another six such selections from the team this week. Our lone wolf record took a hit thanks to that Raider loss and now stands at 10-2 on the year. The Colts, Redskins, Chiefs, and Chargers are each backed by a solitary PFF-er this time.How's your card look?" Read more...SITE LINK

Jamie At Home - recipe updateHello everyone, it's Lindsey here, Jamie's book editor.
I've been reading all the recent posts about the Jamie at Home recipes not being available at the moment and thought I should jump in to say hi and also to let you know how the book is coming along! Jamie has been working hard on it for the last eight or nine months and we're now in the final stages of getting it all designed and checked so it's ready for you to all to enjoy when it comes out later this year in the UK, Australia, Holland, South Africa and Germany.
The book follows the television series, in that there are chapters devoted to seasonal ingredients (potatoes, leeks, rhubarb, strawberries, that kind of thing) and other things from the world of cooking that Jamie loves to do (barbecuing, preserving, making pastry) and the recipes are looking (and tasting!) fantastic.
Jamie and I are really thrilled to see so many of you enthusing about the show and the recipes. I also know how frustrating it must be not to have access to the written recipes just yet (I've often found myself scribbling notes from TV shows and not quite getting everything down in time – very annoying!). However, as much as we would love to be able to post some recipes up for you right now, I'm afraid we can't. The main reason is that the book isn't finished yet and we are unable to release material as there are embargos set by Jamie's publishers so that all the books go out at the same time.
Normally the TV show and the book would be released at the same time, and that's how we like it to happen, but the publishers and broadcasters do have final say on when they choose to publish or air material. The TV show has been filmed as two parts. The first half of the series has now been finished but Jamie is still filming for the second part. The book will therefore be released when the whole thing is finished.
As far as posting recipes that have been noted down from watching the programmes go, we're not trying to be forum police. It's just that sometimes what you see on the programme could well have been edited down to fit the show, so you might not get the complete quantities of ingredients and method to make the recipes work as Jamie would want them to be done. The last thing we want is for you to spend money on ingredients and then the recipe not work!
Do post back if you have any questions for me – Bob or I will try to answer as quickly as possible, in between checking the final page proofs of the book! You should see my desk – it's piled high with A3 pages…
All the best
Lindsey x

My customers frequently run into granulation issues. I tell them to eat the honey faster!
Most want to warm it up and tell me stories of stove-top warm water baths and microwaves. Lately I've been suggesting wrapping the jars up in a heating pad, the kind of pads you buy for achy joints and sore muscles. This seems to work fairly well and is still a pretty low heat source.
Any other ideas I can give my customers so they can warm their honey at home? None of them are willing to build a box with light bulbs.

Saw this on ESPN post. Look for confirmation!
Saw this on ESPN post. Look for confirmation!
i still think they pull out a win. they can run the ball on anyone.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
i think they lose. how can u say that gumby when their option is the main ingredient to their success. we r gonna see washington/cousins run a more traditional offense, and in that regard i actually think theyre less talented then cleveland. defensively cleveland is way superior.
i bet rg3 is still active tho. i could see cousins struggling and washington bring in rg3 late to try some heroics, and he hurts himself worse.
woah wait what time is washingtons game tmrw btw? this could be a psychological trick. why would they release this news tonight and not wait until tmrw gametime??? i think they know the giants would hear about this, and maybe it takes some of our focus/need for a win away or something...still dont know if this is what theyre gonna actually do
Browns won three in a row. I think the Browns can win even if rg3 starting. The redskins have trouble again afc teams
Browns need to stack the box & force the Skins to beat em thru the air. If Skins can run effectively, they will win the game. Browns gotta force Cousins to beat em.
That ain't MS's style. What do ya think his name is Bill Belicheat?
Browns are a very good team, they are young and putting it together. Don't know who's going to win but the Browns chances are now that much better!

24 hour 7-11 coming to corner of Vineyard and 1st St
Original post made by Dan, Valley View Elementary School, on Dec 3, 2012
From a concerned resident nearby:
" Can you please take a few moments to send an email to the planning commission: firstname.lastname@example.com State your name, as well as where you live in relation to the building site AND why you oppose the 7-11 being built. Some possible concerns to mention: increase in traffic, potential increase in crime, detriment to local businesses such as Cole Market and Meadowlark Dairy who both sell convenience items, potential increase in noise/loitering, increase in littering.
There is a deadline for correspondence of end of business day Wednesday, December 5th. "

I for one will be emailing in support of a 7-11. Great convenience when one has the midnight munchies for a pint of HaagenDas. They've recently had a series of hot food upgrades as well. Cheese-filled hotdogs on a bun. And their large freshly baked pizzas sell for only $5.99 (or a dollar per slice). Great value. It's only a little grocery store!

I, too, hope the planning commission thinks twice and does not approve this project. There are several 24 hour stores in the area with another 7-11 less than a miles and a half away. Why not create a deli and market that attracts local families and the many cycling groups who ride by almost daily? Extend the parking lot and landscaped path behind "Pleasanton Plaza" to encourage more visitors to come downtown and have access to stores in the plaza, as well as our downtown shops.

Debbie, perhaps the cyclist families can start a business there by creating a deli and market as well as extend the parking lot and landscaped path. I am sure the property owner would offer you the same lease rate as 7-11.

From future discussion section of Planning Commission agenda. Web Link
There are two 24-hour Safeway stores within a mile (Santa Rita) or two (Bernal), one which will soon also sell gas (not to mention the station across the way with a convenience store and Jack in the Box). I don't know whether a 7-11 would have success on this corner given the competition. Is there an unmet need?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Dec 4, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Need? There's always an unmet need when you have munchies. Face it. The 7-11 has every legal right to be there. Better than to have overgrown weeds. By the time I'm done parking at the mall, I've lost time and gas money. 7-11 convenience stores save me time and money. It'll sure meet my needs! Try their large $5.99 pizzas. Really good!

What weeds? It's a gas station. I wouldn't go to the mall for munchies--plenty places to shop that are more convenient, including the two Safeways. Yes, they will have a legal right if it gets through the city's process.

What's the status on the 7-11 application at Old Santa Rita/Santa Rita and Las Positas? Glad we have an ex-planning commissioner on council now. Measuring ones ability to share thought provoking information within our Community, because one has been on a city commission will be tested. My best to Councilmember Karla Brown and Jerry Pentin.

on Dec 4, 2012 at 2:19 pm
You people are all union tools and sock puppets. Just because 7-11 doesn't employ unionized labor doesn't mean it deserves to have a union-financed vendetta waged against it.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Dec 4, 2012 at 2:33 pm
How about when it's 3 am and the kids are crying for milk, you want some hot baked pizza, and the little wife is hollering about freshly cooked smoked hot dogs with cheese fillings? And you need gas! And you don't want to have to drive into a parking lot, park, walk all the way to a Safeway, then walk all the way down an aisle just to get a carton of milk? And then have to walk through a dangerous parking lot at that time of the morning? No, you people are too much. I imagine most of you are being paid $.40 a word by the Safeway unionista thugs. You'd rather see an old unused gas station overgrown with weeds than anything that might take away from your precious union. You people are soooo selfish!

How is this about the unions, Allen?
a resident of Birdland
on Dec 4, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Actually, this site would probably do well. There is a lot of morning and evening commute traffic along Stanley/First/Sunol Blvd. These people don't travel across town to the Safeway or other convenience stores. From Livermore to 680/Sunol Blvd. I don't believe there are really any convenience stores unless you head off on the side streets. Irby's has been gone for a long time :^).
The 76 location would get mostly morning traffic heading towards San Jose. They will sell a lot of coffee, donuts, and smokes. Yum! There is very little margin in gasoline retail; the real money is in the convenience store.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Dec 4, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Let's stop being dumb or playing dumb. We all know Safeway's union has its mitts on everything that goes on in this city. They've bribed the pols and the cops. Even people who post here are either union lowlifes or have recently been bought off at $.40 per word. Every pit stop made at a 7-11 is lost earnings for Safeway which jeopardizes union strong armed dominance. Duh!
A 7-11 wants in. It's legal. It's better than having the site sit vacant as it will if the cashiers and bag boy thugs at Safeway get their way. It'll save me money and time. It's only a convenience store. It will create jobs. What's not to like?

First, Allen, it's difficult to take you seriously. But just in case you are serious, I would be the last person supporting union leadership. However, I don't think Safeway union leadership has bribed "pols and the cops" (and to what end?). The 7-11, if built, would hardly put a dent in Safeway or union dominance. There are convenience stores a stone's throw from both Pleasanton locations already. It's legal when it gets approval. The site isn't vacant. It might create a job (there are employees there now).
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Dec 4, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Yes, I know you've presented yourself as a real union hater, Kathleen. But here's the rub. Who's more likely to be bought off and support a union cause in this case? Was the $.40 per word just too tempting for you? Why are you involved in this cause when, as any reasonable person would realize, it is a free market matter. Either the demand will be there or it won't be. I'm sorry to hear that you've sullied your reputation as a respectable hater of unions, now becoming a turncoat for the union thug opposition. It just shows how far the communist unions are willing to go in their effort to thwart free market capitalism.

Allen, If anyone is getting paid at any rate, I'm unaware of it. I'm also unaware of union opposition to a 7-11. Hardly seems worth their time. It is a free market matter; and a neighborhood matter; and a matter for city planners. I asked about the need; can't say I see one. I don't get to decide. We'll see what happens.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Dec 4, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Oh, you're a real kidder, Kathleen. Certainly you're not placing community (collectivist) interests and (bought off) city planners on the same level as the free market? Are you? But of course you are. You see, that's where it's obvious you're now on the union pay roll, just like Crook Kaillo and the other hippy communist loonies. Yes, and I mean communist. Because unions are liberals, which means socialists, and then it's only a matter of time before we are all enslaved under communism. Read your history!

And you're amusing, if not paranoid.

And now you resort to a typical union tactic which is calling people they disagree with names in an effort like any good union supported communist to suppress the constitutional right to free speech. I am not amused.

Okay, Allen, you post a link that shows Safeway unions are against this proposal.
I'm not opposed to convenience stores, but I do not personally see a need for a store at this particular location. I don't buy my gas there now, so I can continue to drive by no matter what gets approved.

Typical lazy deadbeat turncoat's union antics, asking others to do the work one should be doing themselves. I'll not do your work for you. Ask some of your comrades among the Safeway unionistas for assistance.

My homework? I didn't make the claim. Good luck with your next discussion, "Allen."
