Making a Positive Impact with Mom by My Side
Read Aiden's story about her life with lupus and how she couldn't have gone through this experience without the help from her mom.
In May 2011, Bonnie and Todd Kassel of Crystal Lake, Illinois learned that their 12-year-old daughter Taylor was diagnosed with the cruel mystery lupus nephritis; the previous six months had been a terrifying avalanche of sudden illnesses; doctor after doctor appointment; and endless emergency room visits.
Devastated and afraid, Bonnie relied on her faith, her family and her community to transform her angst into lupus awareness, advocacy and action. Now that she finally knew why her daughter was so sick, what could they do to fight lupus? For the Kassel family, walking is a giant leap forward. For the community of Crystal Lake, including Taylor's softball team the Crystal Lake Comets, it's a chance to show support and put your best foot forward to help save lives.
Since 2012, for the love of their daughter and in honor of all people with lupus, the Kassel family; Bonnie and Todd, Taylor (now 16), Ben (15) and Baylee Rose (12) have been involved (with gusto!) in the Walk to End Lupus Now™ (Chicago), and "Taylor's Team" has raised more than $30,000, for the Lupus Foundation of America. In 2012 Taylor was honored as the Chicago Walk's Ambassador.
Said Bonnie, "Todd and I can't find a cure for lupus on our own, but that doesn't mean we have to sit on the sidelines and do nothing. I can walk and I can encourage my friends and neighbors to do so too. I can help raise money for research. I feel better when I know I am doing something."
Walking is just the first step Bonnie is taking to raise money for and awareness about lupus. On May 10, 2014 she will chair the second annual Lupus Awareness Day event, in front of Benedict's Restaurant, 401 N. Williams Street, Crystal Lake. IL Last year's event raised nearly $8,000. Here are some of Bonnie's suggestions on how to raise funds for her walk team:
Taylor and Bonnie have also been to Washington D.C. twice for lupus advocacy patients' events and have actively been involved with fundraising for lupus and will continue their efforts until we find a cure.
When the Kassels walk, they do so with urgency and commitment to end lupus now. We should follow their example and combine our voices, with foot power, to end lupus now.

According to MSNBC's Tamron Hall on Wednesday, a Catholic priest denying Communion to a lesbian in Maryland is an example of "the very reason so many young people are turned off or are cautious about religion when you see moments like this."
The News Nation program featured a one-sided take on the story, which was given front page play by the liberal Washington Post. Hall interviewed Barbara Johnson, the woman involved and then featured Michael Smerconish to criticize the Priest for only choosing to deny Communion to the gay woman: "What about someone who's in the church who's utilizing contraception, someone who is supportive of the death penalty, someone who is prone toward profanity or maybe even living in sin?"
Hall asked Johnson to simply narrate her story: "Take me back to when you first realized that the priest had an issue with you being a lesbian."
The woman was denied Communion at her mother's funeral. The journalist mentioned this, and the fact that Johnson wants the priest removed. However, she didn't cover the details of the woman's angry letter to Marcel Guarnizo:
"You brought your politics, not your God into that Church yesterday, and you will pay dearly on the day of judgment for judging me," she wrote in a letter to Guarnizo. "I will pray for your soul, but first I will do everything in my power to see that you are removed from parish life so that you will not be permitted to harm any more families."
[Thanks to MRC intern Jeffrey Meyer for the transcript.]
A transcript of the February 29th News Nation segment can be found below:
2:15 p.m.
TAMRON HALL: A woman denied communion at her own mother's funeral is now demanding the priest who turned her away be removed. Barbara Johnson says the Washington D.C. priest told her "I can't give you communion because you live with a woman " According to the Washington Post, family members said the priest left the altar while she delivered the eulogy for her mother and even skipped the burial, leaving the family without a priest. Barbara Johnson joins me by phone and contributor Michael Smerconish will also speak with us about this. Barbara thank you so much for your time.
BARBARA JOHNSON: Thank you for having me.
HALL: Take me back to when you first realized that the priest had an issue with you being a lesbian.
JOHNSON: The first moment that I realized that the priest had an issue was with me being a lesbian was when I was standing in front of him with my hand out to receive communion. And when he said those words that you just spoke and I was shocked. And it took me several seconds before I walked away in disbelief.
HALL: And I would imagine there were others around who maybe perhaps did not hear the priest's words to you but I'm sure saw your reaction to whatever he was saying at the time.
JOHNSON: Yes, several people in the front couple of pews did hear what he said, and the entire church, save for perhaps a few people in the back rows saw what happened. And I was greeted after leaving the church by several people who embraced me and apologized and were very saddened and upset by the event.
HALL: Now, the Archdiocese of Washington has indicated that this is against their policy, they have a statement and it says in part, when questions arise whether or not an individual should present themselves for communion, it is not the policy of the archdiocese of Washington to publicly reprimand the person. Any issue regarding the suitability of an individual to receive communion should be addressed by the priest with that the person in a private pastoral setting. When you walked up to receive your communion, did it ever cross your mind that he would not provide you with this moment at your mother's funeral?
JOHNSON: It never, that, never crossed my mind. There was no reason for me to believe that anything like this would happen.
HALL: As I've understood it and from what I've read, you are heartbroken and you are demanding even with the apology from the Archdiocese, you want this priest gone. Why does that mean so much to you at this point?
JOHNSON: My family would like two things: One is an apology from Father Marcel directly in accordance with scripture. Something like this is between the individuals, in addition to that, we would like him removed from parish life. Not removed from the priesthood per se, but removed from parish life so that no other family has to experience the tragedy that we did on the saddest day of our lives.
HALL: Barbara, our thoughts are with you as you continue this. I greatly appreciate it. I know you are traveling and we appreciate your time in pulling over to talk with us. Let me bring in Michael Smerconish. Michael, I first saw this story actually yesterday. You tweeted this out. This hit home for you, why?
MICHAEL SMERCONISH: Well, I just had a conversation for an hour about this on radio, and I think the common denominator, the consensus here is everybody thinks it was poorly handled, even those who are supportive of church doctrine say there had to have been a more street smart way of handling this so that a woman grieving the loss of her own mother wasn't subject to the emotional harm that she just described for you. The other thing that everybody can agree on is that he should have presided over the burial because Tamron, as you pointed out at the outset, he denied her communion, wouldn't allow her to receive the sacrament and then he disappeared and he didn't participate in the burial service. And that really seems egregious. The defense you'll hear of the priest, however, is one of, well, he didn't write the rule. And to the extent that is the rule or that is the doctrine, he shouldn't be held accountable for it, the church should.
HALL: Yeah and the Archdiocese says they are sorry what should have been a celebration of her mother's life in light of her mother's faith in Jesus Christ, was overshadowed by this lack of sensitivity. And if you can't have a priest or a pastor or a reverend be sensitive, who is in this world? And I say that broadly because this is the very reason so many young people are turned off or are cautious about religion when you see moments like this. This was her mother's funeral. You can't go back and do that.
SMERCONISH: Right. I think there's a disconnect here, a generational disconnect. And another point that it raises Tamron is that Barbara's not the only, and I'm going to use their word, it's not mine. That she's not the only sinner I'm sure who was in the church that day. What about someone who's in the church who's utilizing contraception, someone who is supportive of the death penalty, someone who is prone toward profanity or maybe even living in sin? Should those individuals not be receiving communion and would they be similarly denied. I doubt it.
HALL: And this is obviously the issue of her not getting communion, the church is clear on where they stand on homosexuality, but the Archdiocese separate and apart from that, clearly says their policy is that this should have been handled in private, not there for everyone to see what she was experiencing during her grief. And I think that's what we're hitting home, not the church's stance on how she lives her life. It is though not the policy to humiliate her as she says she was that day. So Michael, thank you so much. I appreciate your time.

Ticket #2484 (closed Patches: fixed)
Const-overload needed for bimap associative_container_adaptor::count()
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Boost 1.38.0
|Boost 1.39.0
Would it be possible to include a const-overloaded version of count() for associative containers in boost::bimaps? I had some code like this:
void CMyClass::func(size_t key) const { size_t num_elements=_member_map.count(key); ... }
where _member_map was a std::map, and it worked fine. When I changed _member_map to a bimap, the equivalent code:
void CMyClass::func(size_t key) const { size_t num_elements=_member_map.left.count(key); ... }
gives an error, because count() is non-const (whereas GCC's std::map::count() is const). That's presumably done because the STL documentation declares count() as non-const (not sure why), but it doesn't seem there would be any harm in adding a const-overload so that this kind of code would compile when the underlying type supports it. The attached patch fixes the problem for me.

I think overloading count() is a wrong fix. The right fix is just adding const qualifier.
The C++ standard declare const() member of map, multimap, set and multi set as const [23.3.1, 23.3.2, 23.3.3, 23.3.4]:
size_type count(const key_type& x) const;
Also, the bimap documentation (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/bimap/doc/html/boost_bimap/reference/set_of_reference.html#boost_bimap.reference.set_of_reference.__multi__set_of_views.set_operations) declare count() member of

I personally like my gerber coffin handle bowie with rubber handle.
Printable View
I personally like my gerber coffin handle bowie with rubber handle.
Classic K-bar with stacked leather grip.
I have a Ka-Bar TDI that I like, but I want the smaller one because the large handle is a bit too big for me. I just picked up a SOG Aegis today and am in love with it. Next on the list is the famed Benchmade Griptilian, and maybe a SOG Mini Trident.
All Bowie's. The Bagwell style of blade in particular. I prefer a coffin handle. Other's are okay but the coffin handle make backcuts easier.
Kbar. Simple, functional and classic.
A ~3" to 3.5" blade, drop point, folder, flat/light enough to easily and unobtrusively carry everywhere, yet stout enough to help me when the chips are down. It's nobody's hunting blade, but it'll do as a basic survival tool for the daily grind.
I like my Buck M-9 bayonet :-)
I love my K-bar but the feeling of the Cold Steel Spartan is really nice also.
I carry a stainless Spyderco Mariner every shift at work. When I wear a dress uniform or polo I have a Böker pen-knife in the pen pocket. I wear a Cold Steel push dagger in my work boot (for "rescue"). I keep a Gerber folding filet knife in my bunker pants and sometimes a Glock knife on my airpack.
Off duty I may carry any one of a dozen or so knives depending on my mood. Right now mostly a Rajah III from Cold Steel, occasionally I've been carrying a butterfly knife just because. When I go to the kids' school I carry a Swiss Army knife. Florida has an odd "ordinary pocketknife" law.
My favorite fixed blades are a Cold Steel Bushman bowie amd an old USAF survival knife. Lately I've come to appreciate a $2 folding knife that uses replaceable utility blades for cleanimg game.
I love my Italian stiletto,it's a fully automatic switchblade. It has a nice mother of pearl handle. It's nice and light, it opens solid and is sharp as a razor. If you can legally own one I would recommend getting one for a back up weapon.

Fuel Pressure
I didn`t have much faith left in my fuel pressure gauge, so I ordered a new one, a liquid filled job, I installed it, and set the pressure at the regulator at 4 psi, I set the floats and idle mixture, it ran great, although i didn`t take it down the road, i came in to make some calls, let it cool off, then went outside to check it again, fired it up and let it idle, fuel pressure said 7 psi and it would barely idle, the fuel level in the bowl went to over the top of the glass site, so again, I set the pressure at 4 psi, reset the floats, reset the idle mixture, it ran great again, I took it down the road 2 miles, then came back, it ran fine, got in the driveway and the idle starts to flucuate, up and down, I get out and check the fuel pressure, it was at 2 psi, so again, I set it at 4, reset the floats, and reset the idle, what`s going on with this thing? I can`t get the fuel pressure to stabilize, and it`s causing all this havoc with idle mixture and float levels, it`s been going on a while now, and the new gauge brought to life what the problem was finally, but now I need to figure out how to get past it, I`m running a stock pump with return line, a holley regulator, and a demon carb. if it`s any help I have the carbon canister vapor line left open, should I seal it up so the tank can hold pressure? the gas tank used to always hold pressure, i installed a pump with no return line and the pressure was building up and overcoming the needle after I shut the car off resulting in a major flood. so I installed the pump with return line and left the vapor line open, is this the problem? when the car had the stock engine it always held pressure, do GM cars require this? it`s a 86 cutlass supreme. any help would be appreciated.
DV, I'm going to be of no help on this one, but I know what you are going through because the same exact thing was happening with my brother's 350 (also had a deamon on it). I just kept reseting everything everytime the bowls would flood. The weird thing about it is it hasn't happened in about 5 months. Don't know what was causing it or what fixed it. It just doesn't happen any more. Hope you get some help in here...I'd like to know what people have to say.
I had the same problem on my car and I had to replace the regulator. I believe the Holley regulators are rebuildable, but I just went ahead and put on a new one.
I have always made sure that my tanks were vented and did not build up any pressure or vacuum.
yeah I forgot to add the regulator I just installed a rebuild kit in about 2 weeks ago, I don`t like Holley products, mostly because there lack of quality control, the first regulator I ordered didn`t work, I sent it back and got another, it didn`t work, this one worked until the seal started leaking, and that`s why I got the rebuild kit. if I remove the regulator, the fuel pressure is 14 psi, I`ve been down this road for a long time, the first SBC I ran in the car had no fuel pressure problems at all, I removed it and installed another 350, that`s when all hell broke loose, the fuel pressure hit the roof and the only difference in this engine from the last was the cam, everything else was the same. I swapped pumps, carbs, fuel pump rods, nothing did any good, last thing I did was install a Crane cam in place of the comp cam and added the new demon, it ran fine with no regulator, and no flooding problems, then about a month ago it wouldn`t hold a idle, then I found out the fuel pressure was going hay wire again, so the regulator went back on, and now this, I`ve never had so many fuel pressure problems in my life. I did install a carter electric pump on it, and ran it with the regulator, but I decided it had to go, the constant hum of the pump running drove me nuts. there seems to be no reason why this happens, 2 of my friends have a cutlass with a SBC, neither have this problem. so I`m at just as much a loss on this one as yall are, and to top it off, i`ve spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure it, and there don`t seem to be one.

Ok update. I ran the car some more, everytime I let it cool, restart and check the fuel pressure, it`s never where I left it, I can set the regulator down to where the gauge says zero and rev the hell out of the car and it`ll refill the bowl right back where it was. I can`t set the primary float level either, if the fuel level is at the bottom of the sight window, I can turn the adjustment not even a quarter turn, the fuel level will go over the sight window, so i took the demon apart, but I didn`t see anything in the bowl or anything wrong with the needle and seat, except I believe most needles have a small piece of rubber on the tip to seal it, this one does not appear to have one, so i`m wondering when I had the excessive fuel pressure problem I likely blew the piece of rubber off like I did countless holley`s and Q-jets. so I guess it`s back to the old drawing board, I wanna just set fire to this thing it`s been so many headaches.
Wish I could help on that carb problem, but it's out of my league. I'd have shot it a while back. As far as vapor line is concerned, I've had a cigarette butt in mine since 1972.
Usually when I have a problem like this, I like to go back to the orginal setup or a known setup that works. If it were me, I would ditch the canister and the return line. Then get a bone stock fuel pump with no return or canister vapor line. Also get rid of th regulator.
It seems like you may have several problems to me. If you are getting 14 psi, it is not a stock pump obviously, or it is defective. It is possible that the vent is plugged on the pump or regulator causing one of them not to regulate properly. Also, you should not have to reset the floats at all once they are set. I dont understand why you keep resetting them. If there is no fuel after they are set, they are being starved.
Maybe some of this rambling will trigger something to help you figure it out. It is hard to trouble shoot something I cant see or get my hands on, but I am betting it is something small.
There are aftermarket higher pressure needle jets for what you need to control the fuel pressure, plus their made of a different rubber base material.
This place has a great price on rebuild kits that have them.

Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
I would still bet that your problem is with the regulator, or the pump. The regulator is supposed to "regulate" the fuel pressure so that it remains steady at whatever you set it at right? But what gets me is you have had this problem with more than one regulator.
If the pump isn't putting out a consistent pressure itself, then I'm sure the regulator would not be able to maintain a constant pressure. This could be due to a faulty pump, trash/water in the fuel system, or maybe some wierd tank venting problem. I guess you could even have a problem with the pick-up tube in the tank or some of the rubber lines back at the tank.
You may want to try a new set of viton tip needle and seat assemblies too. I have never seen the tips come off a needle, but it's possible. Keep us posted.
Hey DV what pump are you using anyway? You probably mentioned it in an earlier post but could you refresh our memory?
BSE Racing Engines
I know this is rather elementary, and I'm not sure if I saw it mentioned in your post or not, but have you checked the fuel filter? I would inspect both it and the supply lines for clogs. I guess I'm lucky that the fuel supply on my vette is still a pretty simple process.
The pumps I`ve tried are bone stock pumps. They all came from advance auto parts, the first pump fits a 1979 camaro Z28, I used this pump since I installed the first small block years ago, I used it again on the small block that`s in it now, when this problem came about, I got another pump from a friend, it did the same thing, I went and got a new pump with no return lines, for a 75 chevy truck, I tried it, same problem, any mechanical pump I`ve tried be it new or used, they all do the same thing. I`ve blown the rubber tips off many needle and seat assemblies, 2 Q-jet needles and 1 holley. I`ve spoken to many tech lines, carb shops, all to no avail, no one seems to have the answer to this, and there is no reason why it should be doing this, I left everything the same when I did the engine swap, I didn`t modify the fuel system in any way. as for filters, I`m running 2, and there both new, one by the tank, and one off the fuel pump. If I run the pump without a return line, fuel pressure is controlled decently by the regulator, until I shut it off, then it overcomes the needle and seat, I can watch it rise above the sight plug when i shut the car off, and according to all the tech lines I`ve spoke to about this, they all say it`s not suppose to have pressure after it`s shut off. Believe me, I`ve spent countless hours of time trying to figure this one out, and I`ve spent hundreds of dollars, I`m sure over $1000 by now, just trying to solve this problem. the real kicker is, when I first got the new cam and the new carb, It didn`t have this problem, I thought for sure the lobe on the comp cam was bum, being it was the only part I didn`t reuse during the rebuild. I can start the car and watch the fuel inlet line going to the pump, the line moves everytime it pumps, it`s as if it`s being opened way further than a normal one would be. I had a hunch that maybe the cam bearings are bad, and the cam has too much side load causeing the problem, but the bearings are new, and I checked them when I installed the new cam, there was no slop and no visable wear, so I thought maybe one or two of them maybe out of round, I just don`t know, all I know is, I`m sick of this thing acting the way it does for no reason that I`ve found yet.
could it be something to do with the venting of the fuel tank cap or the vent lines from the fuel tank itself. Perhaps there's pressure building in the tank that is only being released at the carb end. As a test maybe run it without a gas cap to see where the level goes.

I had the same thought. Especially since it builds pressure after killing the engine.
I just swapped back over to the non return line fuel pump, set the pressure at 4 1/2 psi, left the return line and vent line open, I also removed the gas cap. I took it down the road, it ran great, was nice and throttle responsive, idles good, I got back here and got out and checked the pressure, it had dropped to 3 1/2 psi, I left it like that, now letting it cool off to see what the pressure will be when I restart, however, I did notice when I shut the car off, the gauge held 3 1/2 pressure, for about 30 seconds, then slowly sank down to zero, I checked the floats to make sure it didn`t flood the carb, neither level rose at the carb, so i "think" it`s fixed, but next I will buy a new gas cap, and see if it helps any, I`m starting to think I got some stopped up lines somewhere, as I tried to blow thru the vapor line and couldn`t, think i`m gonna check back over them real closely again, as last time I blew thru them with air, they were okay, but not this time. thanks guys.

Did Clinton endorse Obama in 2008? He did indeed, even though his wife Hillary ran against the man for the Democratic nomination. Meanwhile, the last Republican president …
We know who you mean. No need to name him. … is not involved in Mitt Romney's campaign and will be avoiding the Republican get-together.
Because even his own party find him embarrassing? Precisely, whereas Clinton's America had a booming economy and the sort of bijou warlets that any president could be excused for getting into. Also, he has made more friends with the Clinton Foundation.
An exciting new cosmetic that covers any blemish yet leaves your skin feeling shower-fresh? No. It's a charity tackling things such as disaster relief, disease prevention and climate change. Last Friday, Clinton told the International Aids Conference in Washington how his "health access initiative" has saved South Africa $700m on HIV testing and antiretroviral treatment.
If only some of our British politicians were like him. What, brave enough to tackle the world's biggest problems?
No, living in America.
Do say: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's that star of the 1990s …"
Don't say: "… and she's wearing that dress."

Olympia eatery destroyed by fire
Sat., July 20, 2013, midnight
OLYMPIA – A restaurant that calls itself the oldest seafood restaurant in Washington was destroyed early Friday by a two-alarm fire.
A passer-by reported smoke just after midnight at the Oyster House in downtown Olympia, Deputy Fire Chief Greg Wright told the Olympian.
"Crews went inside and on the roof, but weren't able to get the fire out. The fire overwhelmed the building," Wright said. "At about 12:45 we went defensive and started pouring water from the outside."
The restaurant had closed after 10 p.m. Thursday and no one was inside.
The cause of the fire is under investigation and there's nothing to suggest it's suspicious, Wright said.
One firefighter suffered a burned hand and was treated at the scene.
The restaurant says on its website it is the old culling house of the original Olympia Oyster Co., which was formed prior to 1900. The original owners started a small seafood bar in a corner of the building.
The restaurant was established in 1924, and the current owners took over in 1995.
The owner says he'll rebuild.

Anaheim Ducks Tickets
Worry-Free Guarantee for Playoff Tickets
: We'll provide a full refund (less shipping) for games not played.
The Anaheim Ducks ended last season first in the Pacific and battled it out in the first round of playoffs, only to lose in seven games to the Predators. This was more impressive due to an early slump that led to Bruce Boudreau making some mid-season tactical changes that provided the much-needed boost. The team will look to go strong from the get-go in the 2016-2017 season and make it past the first round of playoffs. There have been few additions to the team, but Jonathan Bernier and Randy Carlyle will don the jersey this year. You can get your tickets on Razorgator now so that you do not miss out on what is sure to be a great season for the Ducks.
Aww, Man.
We currently don't have any tickets available.
Anaheim Ducks News
After completing a memorable season in which they won the Pacific Division of the Western Conference with a 46-23-13 record, the Anaheim Ducks bowed out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, falling to the upstart Nashville Predators 4-2 in the best-of-seven series. Anaheim's season came to a close on May 22 with a 6-3 loss on the road to Nashville. This followed a 3-1 home loss two days earlier. In game 6, Thought Anaheim scored a pair of goals in the third and final period, it also gave up four goals during that stretch to Nashville. The Ducks were third in the NHL in goals allowed per game.
… more
However, in the Western Conference Finals, the Ducks struggled to keep Nashville out of the net.
The Anaheim Ducks were in a seasonlong battle with Edmonton for the race to win the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. The Ducks ultimately edged the Oilers by two points to claim the title. So it shouldn't be a surprise that the Western Conference semifinal round came down to two teams. Anaheim outlasted Edmonton 4-3 in the series, overcoming a 2-0 deficit in which it lost the first two games at home. But Anaheim then won three in a row and beat the Oilers in the decisive game 7 by the count of 2-1 at home on May 10. As a reward, the Ducks reached the Western Conference Finals. Anaheim lost game 1 3-2 in overtime and bounced back to win game 2 by the score of 5-3.
In the beginning, the Anaheim Ducks appeared to not have a chance to advance to the next round of playoffs. After the first two games in the series against the Oilers, the Ducks were behind 2-0. Then, they came out in Game 3 to get a win. They battled it out with the Oilers in Game 4 and 5 to win in overtime in both. The two teams faced each other in Game 7 with the Ducks ahead 3-2. However, they were only able to score one goal and allowed the Oilers to get 7 and tie up the series. It all comes down to Game 7 on May 10. You can still get your tickets, for prices starting at $114.
Round 2 of the NHL playoffs started out a bit rocky for the Ducks. In Game 1, the Ducks fell 5-3 against the Oilers, thanks to some late goals by the Oilers. In Game 2, the Ducks lost by just one goal. They found their momentum on the ice in Game 3 to win 6-3. In the first period, Rickard Rakell, Jakob Silfverberg and Ryan Getzlaf scored, but the Oilers equalized by the start of the third period. Chris Wagner, Silfverberg and Ryan Kesler scored three more to ensure the victory. The two teams play again on May 3 and May 5, and will play Game 6 and 7 if needed. You can still get your tickets for prices starting at $56.
Fans of the Anaheim Ducks were left utterly stunned last night. After sweeping the Calgary Flames in the first round of the NHL Playoffs, the Ducks went down in flames against the visiting Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The match was tied 1-1 at the end of the second period. Then, the Oilers came alive to score an astounding four goals in the third period. Anaheim, struggling with penalty kills, simply could not keep up and lost the clash 5-3. Both teams will be back in action on Friday night for Game 2 at Honda Center. Tickets are available for prices as low as $64.
After winning the final four games in the regular season, the Anaheim Ducks have kept their winning streak going. They beat the Flames in the first three games of the first round of playoffs. The latest game was exciting, going into overtime to decide the victor. The Flames were leading 4-2 heading into the third period. Then, Nate Thomas and Shea Theodore scored to tie the game, sending it into overtime. Corey Perry scored in the overtime period to ensure the victory for the Ducks. The Ducks just need to win one more game to advance in the playoffs. There is still a chance to get your tickets to catch the excitement in person, with prices starting at $73.
The Anaheim Ducks looked all but unstoppable in the final games of regular season, closing things out on top of the Pacific Division. They won four games in a row, including back-to-back victories over the Calgary Flames. This is an exciting fact for fans, as the Ducks will have an extended rematch with the Flames in the Western Conference Quarterfinals and official kickoff of postseason. Find out if Anaheim has what it takes to go all the way starting Thursday, April 13, at Honda Center. Tickets are still on sale in limited quantities. Prices currently start as low as $36, which is a steal to catch the start of the NHL Playoffs.
It's one of the longest streaks in NHL history, and after Tuesday's contest with Calgary, the Anaheim Ducks have kept the streak alive. The Flames haven't won at the Honda Center since 2004, or 25 games. Despite the victory, things weren't all rosy for the Ducks. Defenseman Cam Fowler was knocked out of the game with a bad-looking lower body injury after contact with Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano. Although the extent of Fowler's injury is not known, the potential loss could be devastating for the Ducks as they head into the postseason next week. Come support the Anaheim Ducks in their final game of the regular season this Sunday, April 9, against the Kings. Tickets are available now starting at $44.
The Anaheim Ducks are soaring to new heights as the regular season comes to a close. They have now won their last four games in a row, including noteworthy victories over the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, and New York Rangers. Their wallop over the Rangers was particularly impressive, as the game was tied at the end of the second period 3-3. Then, the Ducks went on a tear and scored three unanswered goals in the final period, winning the contest decisively 6-3. Anaheim has just three home games left in the season, starting with the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, April 4. Tickets are currently on sale and available for $15.
The Anaheim Ducks are currently sitting in second place in the Atlantic division, but they could quickly move down in the rankings if they continue on their losing streak. The Ducks have lost their last three games in a row and took an exceptional blow when they lost 1-4 against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. Michael Grabner for the Rangers was unstoppable as he sunk two goals into the back of the net during the game. See if the Ducks can come back from all of the losses as they hit the road until February 17. To catch them at home, buy tickets for their game against the Florida Panthers on February 17. Tickets are still up for grabs.
After an unusual loss at home against the St. Louis Blues last weekend, the Anaheim Ducks seem to have rebounded just fine. They have won their last two games in a row, the most recent of which happened on Thursday night. The Ducks hosted the struggling Colorado Avalanche, who actually gave the home team a scare with an unanswered goal in the first period. In fact, it wasn't until the third period that Anaheim came surging back with two goals of their own. They ultimately won the match 2-1. The Ducks will now flock to Minnesota and Manitoba before returning home on January 25 to host the Oilers. Tickets are $12.
Things are getting competitive in the NHL's Pacific Division, but the Anaheim Ducks are doing their best to keep themselves at the top of the pack. Although they've been just average on the road, Anaheim won three of four matches at home in the month of December. Things also got off to a great start in 2017 with the Ducks' 4-3 shootout victory over Philly on New Year's Day. If they can continue to perform well at home, this will be a good month for Anaheim, who is set to play ten of 14 matches at the Honda Center in January. We have great seats for Friday's game (Jan. 6) against Arizona available for $21 and up.
The December 19 game between the Anaheim Ducks and Toronto Maple Leafs came down to an exciting third period in which the Ducks managed to score the decisive goal with less than seven minutes left. Anaheim opened the final period with an early score that put the team up 2-1 before allowing Toronto to bounce the puck off a Ducks' defensemen and tie the game. Shortly thereafter, Cam Fowler put a slap shot into the back of the net to secure a thrilling road victory for an Anaheim team that's starting to pick up steam. The Ducks host the divisional rival San Jose Sharks on December 27 and tickets for that game start as low as $34.
The Anaheim Ducks were relieved to return home yesterday after two brutal losses on the road. On Sunday, they blew it against the Calgary Flames, allowing the home team to score an absurd eight goals to their three. Last night, however, they put on an impressive display against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. The visitors were leading at the end of the second period, but Anaheim came roaring back to force the game into a shootout. They ultimately took home the hard-fought victory 6-5. This Sunday, December 11, the Ducks host the Ottawa Senators. Tickets are currently on sale and available for purchase starting at prices as low as just $24.
Yesterday marked the second time in a row that the Anaheim Ducks lost in a devastating 2 - 3 result at home. Last night, they hosted the New York Islanders. The visitors took the early lead with two goals scored in the first period. It seemed like the home team was going to make a comeback for the win, however, when they tied the game and sent it into a shootout. Unfortunately, the Islanders outscored the Ducks 5 - 4 in the shootout contest to win the game. Anaheim will now rest until after the Thanksgiving holiday, returning to the ice on Friday, November 25 to host the Chicago Blackhawks. Tickets are $48 and up.
It's been more than a decade since the Anaheim Ducks lost a home game against the Calgary Flames, and that streak was never in question during the Ducks' victory over the Flames on November 6. After the first period ended in a 1-1 tie, Anaheim went on to score three unanswered goals and win the game by a final of 4-1. Ryan Kesler was able to net goals during two power plays, helping to put the game out of reach. The Ducks are now heading back to Anaheim for a lengthy home stand, starting with a game against the Edmonton Oilers on November 15. Tickets for that showdown start as low as $11.
The Anaheim Ducks went into the Shark Tank hoping to steal a win from the rival San Jose Sharks. For three periods, it was anybody's game, but it ended up being the Sharks that scored the decisive goal in overtime. The game showed that the two teams are evenly matched, and the Ducks can at least be happy that they earned a point in this road game against one of last year's Stanley Cup contenders. Anaheim will face the other team that played in the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals when the Pittsburgh Penguins come to Southern California on November 2. Tickets for that game are available starting as low as $21.
The Anaheim Ducks start the 2016-2017 NHL season with a string of away games that begin on October 13 with a game in Dallas against the Stars. The Ducks ended the preseason with a win against the Sharks on October 9. The Sharks led 2-0 until late in the second period when Jakob Silferberg scored. He got another one in the third period to tie the game and send it into overtime. Corey Perry scored in overtime to give the Ducks the victory. The Ducks will hope to carry this momentum as they start the season. The Ducks will finally head home to host the Canucks on October 23. You can still get tickets for all the games, with prices for the home opener starting at $12.
The start of the 2016-2017 season is a month away, and the Anaheim Ducks are preparing their team for a solid season. Last season did not see them get passed the first round of the playoffs, and they will want to do better than that this year. The Ducks recently signed a two-year contract with veteran forward Antoine Vermette, who most recently played for the Coyotes. He will help the team out while Nate Thompson is out due to a torn Achilles tendon. It remains uncertain what will happen with Hampus Lindholm and Rickard Rakell, who have yet to sign a contract. The Ducks' first preseason game will be at home on September 27 against the Coyotes, and you can already get your tickets for just $10.

Davis police are reporting two robberies -- one involving Craigslist -- occurring in the same general part of town on the same day last weekend.
Both incidents occurred on Sunday, Dec. 16, the first early in the morning and the second later in the evening. The robberies appear to be unrelated, according to Davis Lt. Glenn Glasgow.
The first robbery happened at around 2:30 a.m. at East Eighth Street and Pole Line Road. A man was walking there when he was approached by several male suspects who attacked him and took his personal property, Glasgow said.
The robbers were three or four in number, police said. No description of them was available.
The second robbery happened at around 7:30 p.m. at Slide Hill Park, a public park about a half-mile north of the first location. In that incident, the robber and his victim connected via the "for sale" section of Craigslist, with the robber claiming to sell electronic equipment. The robber and two accomplices met the victim in the park, but "when the seller arrived and the victim removed cash from his pocket, the seller grabbed the money from the victim and pushed the victim to the ground," Glasgow said.
The robber and his accomplices then fled in a dark-colored sedan. He is described as an African American man, approximately 20 years old, 5 foot 10 inches tall and wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. One accomplice was described as Latino, also about 20 years old and 5 foot 10 inches tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. No description of the other accomplice was available.
Anyone with information on either of these robberies is asked to the call Davis police at 747-5400.

GPS USB connector to VHF
I want to connect a GPS with a USB connector to a Raymarine 55 VHF. The manual for the Ray55 just shows a NMEA bare two wire connection for input and a two wire NMEA output connection. How do you interface the VHF with a GPS that has a cable with a USB connector ?
I have a Garmin Map76Cx. Can this gps display position data for a received DSC call if the 2 NMEA out wires are connected to the GPS ?
I would really like to just connect a puck type of GPS with this radio what is available ? any I have seen have a USB connector. Would a MS streets&trips GPS work ?
You can't connect a USB based GPS to an NMEA 0183 device like a Ray55 VHF. NMEA 0183 is based on either a RS-422 or RS-232 serial protocol, with a data rate of 4800 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and No parity. USB is a high speed serial protocol and is not compatible with either RS-422 or RS-232.
However, the GPSMap 76Cx has an NMEA 0183 four-pin serial/power port on the back and can be connected to the radio for DSC position data to the VHF. However, I don't believe it supports NMEA 0183 input to display the position of INCOMING DSC CALLS.
Yes, but those devices go from an RS-232 DEVICE TO USB HOST, which is not what is required in this situation—which is USB DEVICE to RS-232 HOST. Also, I'd point out that those devices require a DEVICE DRIVER to be recognized by the computer properly.... something which isn't an option with either the VHF or the GPS.
thanks for the information
I also have my old Map76, it has a cable with an small connector on the end, DB9 (?). What you are saying is this cable should plug into the the Map76Cx and provide the signal required for the VHF.
It is too bad someone does not produce a GPS puck for this application, it could sit near the VHF and be a dedicated GPS just for this purpose.
thanks again, Bob
I'd point out that Garmin, Raymarine, and several other vendors make standalone GPS antenna that output NMEA 0183 data. The Garmin GPS17 is one of them. The Raymarine RayStar 125 is another.
Yes, the NMEA IN + wire from the VHF should connect to one pin (3 IIRC) and the NMEA OUT + wire from the VHF should connect to pin 2. The NMEA IN - and OUT - wires should connect to Pin 5.
thanks !
I like the idea of the standalone Garmin GPS17. I see this model is discontinued but new ones are still available on Ebay for $175. It is more than the USB "puck" types but it is a much better more reliable unit I guess. It would work as a backup GPS system as well.

An Intern's Take
By the time you read this, New Yorkers will have made their choices on who they will choose to elect for Mayor, Comptroller, Borough President and a few City Council seats. That being said, I hope everyone came out and exercised their right to vote. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all you who take timeout of your busy schedules to read these lines I share with you each week. I am still wet behind the ears so please forgive me if some of my material and subjects are not to your liking.
Being a father, I look at these opportunities as a time to share some of the wisdom that has been given me. I have always been a pretty good listener. If you want to understand what someone is saying you must really listen to, not just what is being said, but where and when it takes place. The recent killing of the 16 month old child in a stroller really hit home. I read a story in one of the city's daily publications where a reporter took some time to interview the shooter who appeared to show some remorse. I choose to speak on this subject because simply, enough is enough. This is not a movie, or a video game. What did he think was going to happen when he fired a high caliber weapon in the vicinity of a man with a baby stroller?
As a community it is time for some real action. It's time that we take a stance against violence as never before. It's time for our so called leaders and public officials to put their money where their mouths are and put the resources where they need to be.
There needs to be a change in the culture. The only way that we can bring about change is with action. That's why I salute OG Will and the rest of the brothers and sisters who have put together the Stop the Violence Softball games that are officially kicking off this Sunday at the field in back of the Redfern Houses.
It started with a few individuals who wanted to keep the Stop the Violence movement alive. They have grown this into a community event bringing out players from across the peninsula. They have added two female teams that have really made it a family affair.
So if you are not busy on Sunday afternoon, after church or in between the football games come out and support the movement.
Let me know what you think, send your comment or suggestions to email@example.com. And don't forget to read The Wave.

Very cool. I'm attempting to make a map specifically for this gamemode, which I've spoken to Trotskygrad about. If you want to contribute or stop me, I threw you a request LEETN00B.

Don't play on ZFCGaming as their admins are incredibly abusive.
Don't live in Canada. The government is corrupt.
Understand where this is going?
(no one plays seriously at that time of day anyways, best games happen around noon usually, or in the early afternoon)
Bahaha. Your complaining about the 2 times we were just messing around. Are you serious? You need to take a chill pill. Im actually still laughing at the fact you registered just to post that.
Second of all, Your both from havoc gamers judging from your tag and his link on profile. So yeah trying to team up and make zfcgaming.com look bad.
But I am adding a "ghost mode" - you can play spooky sounds and push props around.
>playing video games
The Ragdolling ok. But we just messing around. Having a little fun from hours of serious gameplay isn't exactly abuse. Nocliping? Not sure who was nocliping or why this was even included. Guess it was one of the 'fp admins' so yea don't pin that on zfc. Trot was actually testing karma banning. Go whine somewhere else please.
all the other maps I used legit strategies and tactics, albeit without a sense of levity at times.
Also, I only used the csay command on my griefing karmaban spree. Me as a player != me as an admin.
Just played this for the first time.
I like it, though it did take me a while to get used to.
Are you going to be adding a spectator option?
As there are times you do need to go AFK for a few minutes (and a new round might start by then)
Or you might just want to join your server to see how the new map you added plays, or watch a player that a few players on your server have been complaining about.
Downloading to learn more about lua, I assume this code is clean and easy to read?! Right?
Just kidding.
Yeah, the code's easy to read.
By the way, I've released 1.0.3.
+ Added 10 new convars to control stamina drain/regen rates. The changes are instant, no map restarts needed. (check the readme for the convars)
+ Added 4 new convars to control health regen. The changes are instant, no map restarts needed. (check the readme for the convars)
+ Added 2 convars to control the ability to pick props up with the use key. The changes are instant, no map restarts needed. (check the readme for the convars)
+ Added a convar which enables or disables damage from props (to disable prop-kills by picking up props with the use key and throwing them at players, disabled by default)
+ Added 3 new tips
+ Added buyable Walkie-talkies. These are radios that allow the use of quick pre-made radio command usage.
+ Added a new weapon - Dart gun. Fires out poison darts that make a player lose 100 health in 20 seconds. Available to Agents only.
+ Added a new item - Antidote. Cures the poison status received from a poison dart. Availabel to everyone.
+ Added Ghost Mode for spectators/killed players - they can now play spooky sounds (SECONDARY ATTACK KEY) and push props around (PRIMARY ATTACK KEY)
+ Added 4 more player models for the gamemode to choose from
/\ Changed the role of the chat and the voice chat:
* The default chat now has a range, the range is the same range from which you can see a player's nickname, his health, status, etc. from
* The team chat is now the radio chat. If people have Walkie-talkies and are on the same channel, then they will be able to see the text from anywhere
* The voice chat is still ranged, but if people have Walkie-talkies and are on the same channel, then they will be able to hear a player use his microphone from anywhere
* The range of the voice chat can now be tweaked using a convar
* The range of the default chat can be tweaked using a convar
/\ From now on the player role data will be sent to the player every second until the player sends back the confirmation of receival
/\ Fixed the firemode indicator clipping with the text that indicates the keys to drop/conceal weapon (weird, I thought I fixed that while this was still in development)
/\ Fixed weapon shadows being drawn even if a player has his weapon concealed
/\ Fixed opening 2 menus at the same time resulting in a bug that would not let you close the second menu.
/\ Now examining a player that was previously marked as dangerous, but does not have any weapons anymore, will become trusted
/\ Reduced additional required weight for the player to be marked as "Dangerous" upon examination from 15 to 10
/\ Admins won't get banned for having a karma that's too low
/\ When the VIP wins the round, every living Civilian will gain 5 points of karma now
/\ Changed the model of SMG ammo in the buy menu
/\ As per community request, the karma indication is now in percentage, instead of words
/\ Slight server-side optimizations
I realized what was wrong.
I'll fix it in 1.0.4, I made a stupid mistake in one place.
Excellent, I cannot wait to play on 1.0.3. That looks like alot of new things there so I guess it's going to be epic.
Anyhow I was wondering about a Disguise Case for the Agents only, what do you think about that LEETNOOB?
Basiclly it would disguise you as one of the Civillians who are Alive, if the Civillian you have disguised examines you, they will see you marked as an Agent in their Status. Also if this was added for 1.0.4 or any other update then it would be in the "Other" section.
Change the help text so I actually know how to unload weapons and other things.
wow, looks like this thing is kicking off, nice job LEET
Bug :
If you use the poison gun once. Then try and switch back to a normal gun. Your guns wont fire. No matter what you do.
Here's a quick bug-fix update.
/\ Fixed the 1 hour ban system not working
/\ Fixed non-Agents being able to buy Dart gun ammo
/\ Fixed players joining after a round has already started resulting in unusable Ghost Powers
Karma ban works.
Code:Player Kokki Moki left the game (Kicked by Console : Karma too low - 1 hour ban.) Dropped "Kokki Moki" from server<STEAM_0:0:22669053>
Ive been meaning to play this, havent gotten around to it, though. May try it today, looks really fun!
also found another server running this gamemode
this shit is popular
didn't even know that one existed until I tried to find the ZFC alt.
guys, how many more servers do we NEED
dat yuri kalashnikovi person made his own server D:
This makes me sad though
I used to run such a successful green shift server. :) That was fun
Good to see one of LEETNOOB's gamemodes really taking off, though. :D
Taking off because it doesn't need half a gig of DLs, I bet.
I'm just waiting for this to turn into PERP2+, where apparently the biggest version number means you're the best.

Northern School of Music
The Northern School of Music (NSM) started life (1920) as Manchester's branch of the Matthay School of Music. In 1943 it was properly incorporated as the Northern School of Music.[1][2] In its later years it was accommodated in a building on Oxford Road (near Sidney Street), which later became the site of the students' union of Manchester Polytechnic.
For most of the early years of its existence it focused on training music teachers but gradually performance came to play an increasing role. This was thanks to Ida Carroll.[1][2]
In 1955 Hilda Collens, the School's founder and principal met the principal of the Royal Manchester College of Music, Frederic Cox, and talks about merging the schools were held. These talks were to last many years and finally in 1972 led to the establishment of the Royal Northern College of Music.[1][2]

Department of Biological Sciences receives NSF grant to establish Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site
The Department of Biological Sciences has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site. Beginning in late May, ten rising juniors and seniors will spend ten weeks at Carnegie Mellon participating in a program called "Mentored, Cutting Edge Research Experiences in Molecular Biosciences." Students selected for the program will include undergraduates from small colleges and universities that lack extensive research programs, with an emphasis on groups underrepresented in the sciences. Participants will conduct intensive, mentored research projects in the following fields: molecular biology and genetics, cell and developmental biology, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, neuroscience, and computational biology and bioinformatics.
In addition to conducting their own high-quality research projects, REU students will attend faculty research talks, student-led discussions of articles from the scientific literature, and presentations on career options and scientific ethics. At a concluding symposium, all students will give formal talks about their research.
Directed by David Hackney, professor of biological sciences, and Brooke McCartney, assistant professor of biological sciences and a 1991 alumna of Carnegie Mellon's NSF REU program, the REU will run concurrently with the department's Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). Former SURP and REU students have been accepted into top graduate programs and have won prestigious awards such as Goldwater and Rhodes scholarships.

He has many friends scattered throughout the country and has had the opportunity to play golf at the best courses in the US. He retired from Coca-Cola in sales and marketing after 35 years and went over to Winter Garden Citrus Co-Op. Upon re-retiring, he had time to focus on his true talent, cooking, along with being an avid outdoorsman. Fishing was his passion. He passed this love down to his grandkids where he taught them to fish on the Suwannee River. Every summer, he lived, entertained, and played golf at the Springdale Country Club in Cruso. Donald was a member of the American Legion, K.C.B.S. BBQ Association as a Judge and the Zellwood United Methodist Church.

Heron Sunrise
Great blue herons are very large birds. They're four feet tall with a six-foot wingspan and weigh over five pounds, yet they nest in rookeries high in the trees.
The nest is the focus of their family life. Because they are seasonally monogamous, their first order of business when they return in the spring is to attract and court a mate. They do this at the nest with elaborate courtship displays initiated by the male.
Before he has a mate he circles the rookery in exaggerated, laborious flight, then lands with his head and neck plumes erect and croaks his Landing Call. On the nest he does the Stretch Display, extending his neck and raising his bill to show off his beautiful throat plumes, then lowering his head and moaning.
He preens his wing. He fluffs his neck. He raises his crest. He grabs a twig on the tree and gives it a shake.
He does his utmost to get noticed!
When a female heron agrees to be his mate their displays become elaborate duets.
In the Greeting Ceremony a heron returning to the nest where his mate is waiting will give the Landing Call while his mate does the Stretch Display.
The Stick Transfer ceremony is an exaggerated drama of nest building. The male arrives with a stick for the nest. The female does the Stretch Display and takes the stick while he rapidly claps the tip of his bill at her. Then she places the stick on the nest. Ta dah!
They even have a ceremony for Nest Relief. The arriving heron gives the Landing Call, his mate on the nest does a Stretch Display, then they both clap the tips of their bills and sometimes preen.
If you watch at a heron rookery you're most likely to see these displays at dawn or dusk because the females leave the area during the middle of the day.
So plan your next adventure for early morning and have a heron sunrise.

I was watching this today, around 7pm, quite a few males circling the rookery, and croaking quite loudly…..the red tailed got tired of the display and took flight to a new by perch, this only lead to much louder sound! Very entertaining show this evening.
# Anne Curtison 24 Mar 2010 at 11:34 pm
WOW! What a photo!
Kudos to you as always, Kate, for your insightful commentaries. My husband thinks I know much more than I do about birds, but I always tell him I'm paraphrasing what I learn here.
Major kudos also to the guys/gals who take these marvelous pictures and allow you to share them with us! This picture is now my screen saver, if that's ok with the photographer?
# Nancyon 25 Mar 2010 at 11:15 am
Hi Kate,
This doesn't relate to the herons but to Tasha2 at the Gulf Tower. Everytime I have checked in the last week, the eggs have been there but no adults. I know the adults do come and go a bit but I'm getting worried. Has the nest been abandoned?
# Kate St. Johnon 25 Mar 2010 at 11:17 am
The nest has not been abandoned. More news is coming today.

Auckland Airport is forecasting another jump in underlying profit in the current year after its net profit after tax soared 25 per cent to $177.9 million in the past 12 months.
Chief executive Adrian Littlewood said despite challenges in some source markets from slowing growth the company saw the aviation market solidifying recent gains and he was optimistic about the 2014 financial year.
He said he expected 2014 underlying profit after tax (excluding any fair value changes and other one-off items) to be between $160 million and $170 million.
Underlying profit for the year to June 30 2013 was $153 million, an improvement on the previous period of 10.6 per cent.
The board declared a final dividend of 6.25 cents per share taking the annual payment to 12 cents per share.
See the company's latest investor presentation here.
"As always, this guidance is subject to any adverse events, one-off items, non-cash fair value adjustments, deterioration in global market conditions or other unforeseeable circumstances," he said.
Littlewood said recent announcements supported the view that the aviation market is strengthening after the loss of Qantas Auckland-Los Angeles services and Aerolineas Argentinas flying through Auckland to Sydney.
Emirates will upgrade to a third A380 in October, and Malaysian Airlines, China Southern, China Airlines, Qantas and Air Tahiti Nui are all increasing seasonal services over summer.
International passenger numbers in the first six weeks of the current financial year had been "very strong" with growth of close to 9 per cent on last year.
Revenue in the year to June increased 5.1 per cent to $448.458 million. Within that airfield income increased 5.5 per cent to $81.5 million while property income increased 12.5 per cent of $41 million.
Car park income leaped 10.2 per cent to $40.3 million.
Littlewood said this was due to increased passenger numbers and better occupancy levels. The airport had also added 350 car parks in May and during the current financial year would incrementally add new space.
Expenses increased 9.4 per cent to $117.624 million. Key expenses contributing to this higher growth include 16.4 per cent growth in staff costs to just on $40 million, primarily due to the significant increase in the accrual of long-term incentive provisions and chief executive recruitment.
New route development and continued marketing initiatives also contributed to 15.8 per cent growth in marketing and promotional expenses to $14.1 million.
International passengers (excluding transits) grew 1.7 per cent to 7.3 million.
Following growth of 26.5 per cent in the year to just on 200,000, China has now surpassed Britain to be Auckland's second-largest source of international passengers after Australia.
Littlewood said Chinese visitors spent two and half times more than the average passenger at retail outlets at the airport.
Growth was also achieved in the domestic market with passenger numbers reaching 6.7 million, an increase of 8.4 per cent, fuelled by more capacity from Air New Zealand and Jetstar and a range of competitive airfares.
Total share of profit from associates totalled $9.921 million, comprising North Queensland Airports' $6.996 million, Queenstown Airport's $1.319 million and Novotel Hotel's $1.606 million.
Littlewood said the Ibis Budget hotel, which the airport controls, had a strong year with occupancy up from 60 per cent to 83 per cent and the airport was in the planning stages of increasing the number of rooms from 125 to 198, an investment of $8 million.

Gainesville's One Stop Homeless Center
By Gavin Johnson, WCJB TV20 News
Gainesville City Commissioners are once again looking for another location for the one stop homeless center. Commissioners were considering a site on Northwest 53rd Avenue but a buyer bought it last week.
Monday night city commissioners voted to keep the north main terrace site as an option and to extend their lease for the building for another four to six months. The Association for businesses and citizens of north main are against commissioners putting the one stop homeless center there, so they're helping city staffers find an alternative site. City officials say its been a real challenge to find a site without other buyers rushing in to buy it first.
By the time the four to six months lease is up on the North Main Terrace site, there will be two new city commissioners, elected in January. So the dynamics could change on the commission by the time a final location is voted on.

Does anybody have any suggestions on stopping a cat from sucking. She is 3 yrs old. If she sits on my lap, she sucks on me, if she comes to bed with me, she sucks on the sheets. It has gotten to the point it is annoying.

Best Answer
If this is something that just started, then I would be tempted to visit the vet to make sure she's not deficient in her diet or have some other health concern. If she's been doing it for 3 years, then she was probably separated from her mother too early. When she does this tap her (lightly!!) on the nose and say a firm "No!". You can also squirt her (but not directly in the face) with a spray bottle of water. But understand that squirting her is insulting to her and may injure her bond with you. You can try distracting her with playtimes with you. You can get a liquid called "Bitter Apple" and spray that on anything she sucks on. It doesn't taste good. You can also try getting her some cat chew toys such as "Greenies" and give those to her when she starts. If she refuses to stop, try substituting a stuffed animal and praise her when she sucks on that instead of on you or other things.

|Although gene duplications occur at a high rate, only a small fraction of these are retained. The position of a gene's encoded product in the protein–protein interaction network has recently emerged as a determining factor of gene duplicability. However, the direction of the relationship between network centrality and duplicability is not universal: in Escherichia coli, yeast, fly and worm, duplicated genes more often act at the periphery of the network, whereas in humans such genes tend to occupy the most central positions. Here, we have inferred duplication events that took place in the different branches of the primate phylogeny. In agreement with previous observations, we found that duplications generally affected the most central network genes, which presumably is the process that has most influenced the trend in humans. However, the opposite trend, i.e. duplication being more common in genes whose encoded products are peripheral in the network, is observed for three recent branches, including, quite counter-intuitively, the external branch leading to humans. This indicates a shift in the relationship between centrality and duplicability during primate evolution. Furthermore, we found that genes encoding interacting proteins exhibit phylogenetic tree topologies that are more similar than expected for random pairs, and that genes duplicated in a given branch of the phylogeny tend to interact with those that duplicated in the same lineage. These results indicate that duplication of a gene increases the likelihood of duplication of its interacting partners. Our observations indicate that the structure of the primate protein–protein interaction network affects gene duplicability in previously unrecognized ways.
