Eyes in a Celestial Blue Night Sky
Daniel rubbed his hands together in a vain attempt to warm his freezing hands. The evening was cold, and his breaths condensed in the air like icy clouds. The sun was going down and the sky was filled with bright orange and pink, reflecting off the white clouds. It looked hot, a stark contrast to the cool air. He stood over a red and white picnic blanket and stuck his hands under his arms. He looked back toward the road where his dark blue pickup truck sat on the side of the road.
She still hadn't come. Where was she?
Daniel decided to go back to the truck and get out the food and plates. He'd planned to set up in front of her, but she'd never arrived. So, Daniel hustled back to the truck and opened the passenger side door with his key. When inside he took out the picnic basket and the red cooler. When he returned to the top of the hill, where he'd laid out the blanket, he parked to cooler and the basket on the corners of the blanket where the wind had started to turn the blankets' edge inward. He got out the plates and the forks and placed them facing each other in the center of the blanket. Then he took out two glasses with solid bottoms and placed one at each plate. Then a napkin and a knife at each setting. He unwrapped the fried chicken and placed the bowl between the plates. The bowls of mashed potatoes and broccoli, he placed around it.
By that time, the sun had completely set and it started turning dark. The orange and pink faded into a dark blue. He set up a camping lantern next to the make shift dinner table by hanging it from the tree branch that laid over the hill. He looked back at the road, but only his truck was parked there.
Did she forget or is she blowing me off. Did I actually have a chance, or... was she just toying with me.
Daniel took one of the chicken drummies and bit off a piece of the juicy meat. It had gotten cold, sitting in the freezing air, and dew had even condensed on the outside. As he chewed he looked up into the sky. The last clouds had started to dissipate and wander off into the sky. Daniel could just begin to see the faint blinks of some stars.
When he'd eaten 3 drummies and she'd still hadn't arrived, he felt exausted and spread himself onto the grass. He looked up into the sky, and dark, cold blue like it was in the winter, speckled with hundreds of white dots. This far from the city lights, most of the stars could be seen. He easily spotted the big dipper, the little dipper, and Orion. Daniel searched around until he found ursa major, then ursa minor. He got lost in the stars, forgetting about the cold and the food beside him. He looked at how the stars' light mixed into each other and how he could make a dozen new constellations out of the stars in the night. The deep, ancient, and cold dark blue sucked him in and he felt he could just reach out and touch it.
"My favorite thing to look at is the milky way. My father showed it to me when I was a kid. He told me, it was formed when god bumped into a glass of milk, and it poured down from heaven."
Daniel was shocked, and fumbled up out of the grass. His pants and shirt were wet from the ground and the dew.
She had arrived.
And so they ate and drank, and right around midnight, when the drummies and the mashed potatoes and the red wine he'd brought specially for that night were gone, and the broccoli sat mostly uneaten as they'd expected it would, Daniel and his date sat under the Celestial blue sky and he pointed out the rest of the constellations to her.
She came at last. Like she said she would. I guess I had nothing to worry about.
Thank You for reading. I'm sorry, it wasn't my best work, but I tried hard. The next color should be Hot Pink, the same color as the sunset.

Poem by: Philip Roberts
Status: Finished
Genre: Horror
The seeker's searching for live prey
Victims to surely bring right down,
He creeps along the dim-lit streets
Within this woeful, nasty town.
The inhuman seeker is looking for
Some unsuspecting prey to kill,
Creeping through dark alleyways
Climbing through a window sill.
The seeker stalks the dreary night
Looking for those without a care,
To bring down in the twilight time
Then add them to his bill-o'-fare.
He hunts the night by smell of blood
Seeking out an injured soul,
To leave their body chalky white
Their flesh a lifeless cold.
The seeker's needing victims
So he can hunt and kill,
To give this fiend his nourishment
And give him such a thrill.
He thrills to kill the innocent
To know they cannot be saved,
He thrills to see their coffins
Being lowered into their graves.
A creature from some twilight world
The seeker rides out again,
He lives to feast upon the living
He lives for inflicting pain.
The evil seeker haunts the night
In a smallish country town,
Seeking out night-time walkers
To grab and cruelly bring them down.

Jantel Lavender made 1 of 2 free throws with 6.2 seconds left to break a 66-all tie, then Ohio State (27-5) made two defensive stops to seal the victory.
First two-time Big Ten defensive player of the year Shavelle Little knocked the ball away from Purdue point guard FahKara Malone, resulting in a scrum in front of the Purdue bench that was ruled a jump ball with 1.1 left.
The possession arrow favored the Boilermakers, who inbounded the ball to Brittany Rayburn, whose off-balance shot was far off the mark, and the Buckeyes began their first postseason celebration in three seasons.
Lavender, who was named most outstanding player of the tournament, scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds – both game highs.
The sophomore center and OSU forward Star Allen (13 points) both scored in double figures for the third time in as many games, but this time faced a formidable post duo in Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton and Lakisha Freeman.
That Purdue pair was held scoreless in the first half but combined for 25 in the second, including 15 by Wisdom-Hylton. One or the other seemed to come up with a basket whenever the Boilermakers needed one down the stretch.
Wisdom-Hylton's last basket tied the game at 66 with 1:09 to go, then both teams traded empty possessions.
After Ohio State missed a chance to go ahead when Maria Moeller's three-point attempt was off the mark, the Buckeyes forced a shot clock violation at the other end.
Buckeye head coach Jim Foster called timeout with 12.2 left and called a play for Lavender, the two-time Big Ten player of the year. She got the ball to the right of the lane and put it on the floor, drawing a foul from Wisdom-Hylton as she tried to put up a shot.
"We wanted to get the ball to her," Foster said. "At that point of the game you've got to respect everything so that perimeter has got to come out and guard because you don't want to give up an uncontested shot, and it obviously created the opportunity to get the ball to her."
After missing the first free throw, she made what turned out to be the game winner.
"The first free throw I was letting my tiredness take over, and the second free throw I was like, 'I gotta take my time, take a deep breath,' and I focused more and knocked it down," she said."
"Jantel was poised, especially after she missed the first one," Foster said. "I think a lot of times players will tank the second one after missing the first."
As for the final defensive stands, Foster knew the speed of Malone would allow her to cover enough floor to get her team into position for a good shot, so he instructed Little to give her enough room to prevent her from going by her.
"And I think she did an absolutely terrific job," he said. "And then the ball was exposed and she poked."
"I was supposed to go in the game and give a little cushion because she is fast, but I mean the way that everything was happening, the ball was literally right in front of me," Little said. "She crossed over right in front of me, and it was there, and I didn't want to lunge. I just wanted to tip, and I got a little tip and I thought I was going to come up with it but I got a tie-up."
More than half of the 7,293 fans turned out to root for Purdue, but a vocal contingent from Ohio State watched their Buckeyes earn a triumph that was two years in the making.
The last time they faced the Boilermakers in this game, Purdue jumped out to a 21-0 lead before hanging on for a 64-52 victory in 2007.
That was the first of what would be four consecutive postseason losses for Ohio State over a two-season span. Two weeks later they flopped in the NCAA tournament then last season bowed out in their first appearance at both the league and NCAA tournaments.
They hope to have taken major steps toward erasing the perception they can't win on the biggest stages by blowing away Illinois and Iowa in their first two games of this Big Ten tournament then outlasting Purdue.
"It's a very big deal," said senior Ashlee Trebilcock, who had eight points and three rebounds while gutting out 19 minutes on a bad right knee. "I'm so excited. We're all very excited. To lose in the first round last year and then to have that catastrophe against Purdue two years ago, this is a good feeling, and it was a great game. It came down to the wire, so it was a great game to have."
Rayburn led Purdue (22-10) with 20 points off the bench. The freshman guard was named to the all-tournament team along with Wisdom-Hylton, Lavender, Allen and Jenna Smith of Illinois.
The Buckeyes, who entered the weekend ranked 12th in the nation, earned the Big Ten's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament and will open play March 21 at Nationwide Arena in downtown Columbus. Their opponent will be announced March 16.

Ecological restoration as a strategy for conserving biological diversity

Though the restoration of disturbed ecosystems has so far played a relatively modest role in the effort to conserve biological diversity, there are reasons to suspect that its role will increase and that its contribution to the maintenance of diversity will ultimately prove crucial as techniques are further refined and as pristine areas for preservation become scarcer and more expensive.
It is now possible to restore a number of North American communities with some confidence. However, it should be noted that many current efforts to return degraded lands to productive use, like attempts to reclaim land disturbed by mining, try only for rehabilitation to a socially acceptable condition and fall considerably short of actually restoring a native ecological community.
Possible uses for restoration in the conservation of biodiversity include not only the creation of habitat on derelict sites, but also techniques for enlarging and redesigning existing reserves. Restoration may even make it possible to move reserves entirely in response to long-term events, such as changes in climate. Restoration in the form of reintroduction of single species to preexisting or restored habitat is also a critical link in programs to conserve species ex situ in the expectation of eventually returning them to the wild. And restoration provides opportunities to increase diversity through activities as diverse as management of utility corridors, transportation rights-of-way, and parks.

Objective: To evaluate the response to the QuantiFERON-TB-2 Gold (QFT-2G) test (Cellestis Ltd; Carnegie, VIC, Australia) in elderly patients with active tuberculosis (TB) to determine whether the QFT-2G test might be a feasible method for diagnosing TB infection in this group of patients.
Methods: The subjects were 30 elderly patients with active TB and 100 younger patients with active TB. The QFT-2G test results were analyzed in relation to combined and separate responses to early secretory antigenic target 6-kD (ESAT-6) protein and culture filtrate protein 10 (CFP-10) antigens.
Results: Of the 30 elderly patients with active TB, 27% had a positive tuberculin skin test (TST) result and 77% had a positive QFT-2G test result. Of the 100 younger patients with active TB, 70% had a positive TST result and 87% had a positive QFT-2G test result. Although there was no significant difference between the two patient groups in the positive rate for the QFT-2G test results (p = 0.185), there was a significant difference in the rates of positive TST results between the elderly and younger patients (p = 0.012). The positive test result rate for both ESAT-6 and CFP-10 antigens in the elderly patients (17%) was significantly lower than that in younger patients (37%; p = 0.038). There was an indeterminate result for the QFT-2G test in five elderly patients, and this might have been related to the presence of lymphocytopenia due to underlying disease. A negative result on the QFT-2G test was detected in two elderly patients, and this might have been related to the severity of the active TB.
Conclusion: We confirmed that the QFT-2G test might be a more useful method of diagnosing TB infection than the TST for elderly patients if peripheral lymphocyte counts have been preserved.

From the name, you would expect (and we feared) that Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream contains a significant amount of citrus extracts. There is certainly a variety present, but the primary concern is the amount of lemon peel oil, which is present at a level that makes this moisturizer one to avoid.
All forms of citrus have the potential to be potent skin irritants, and many varieties of citrus essential oils also present a risk of a phototoxic reaction when the skin is exposed to UV light (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). See More Info for the details on fragrance in skin care.
Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream does contain a few beneficial ingredients for dry skin; specifically, non-fragrant, soothing plant oils and fatty acids. This would be a good option for dry skin, except for the fragrance and the jar packaging. Moisturizers in jars are money pits for a few reasons, but the most significant reason for skipping them is the breakdown of antioxidants with exposure to air. We discuss details on jar packaging in the More Info section.
If Aesop had left out the citrus extracts and opted for a tube or pump-style package, this would be a great moisturizer for dry to very dry skin not prone to breakouts. As is, Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream shouldn't be on your shopping list. You will find far better choices with skin-friendly ingredients on our list of Best Moisturizers (Daytime and Nighttime).
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin. What is perhaps most shocking is that all of these damaging responses can be taking place underneath the skin and you won't even notice it on the surface. The clearest example of this is the significant and carcinogenic effect of the sun's "silent" UVA rays. You don't feel the penetration of these mutagenic rays, but they are taking a toll on your skin nonetheless (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
Jar Packaging: The fact that this product is packaged in a jar means the beneficial ingredients won't remain stable once it is opened. All plant extracts, vitamins, antioxidants, and most other state-of-the-art ingredients break down in the presence of air, so once a jar is opened and lets the air in these important ingredients begin to deteriorate. Jars also present a hygiene issue because even if you wash your hands or use a spatula to remove the product, you're introducing bacteria that cause further breakdown (Sources: Free Radical Biology and Medicine, September 2007, pages 818-829; Ageing Research Reviews, December 2007, pages 271-288; Dermatologic Therapy, September-October 2007, pages 314-321; International Journal of Pharmaceutics, June 12, 2005, pages 197-203; Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, January 2002, pages 1-32; International Society for Horticultural Science, www.actahort.org/members/showpdf?booknrarnr=778_5; Beautypackaging.com, and www.beautypackaging.com/articles/2007/03/airless-packaging.php).
This rapidly absorbed cream's citrus-derived ingredients cool, tone and balance the skin, delivering superb hydrating replenishment.
Water (Aqua), Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Glyceryl Stearate, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Disodium EDTA, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Beta-Carotene, d-Limonene, Citral, Linalool.
Strengths: Some products are packaged to keep their light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable.
Weaknesses:Multiple fragrant ingredients are present in each product reviewed, and this poses a strong risk of irritation; no effective options for treating concerns like acne, brown spots, or rosacea; jar packaging for some of the moisturizers won't keep the beneficial ingredients stable; overpriced.
Australian brand Aesop bears the same name as the famous Greek storyteller, and their skin-care products certainly emulate the art of storytelling with their formulas and marketing. The question is whether or not you can believe Aesop and their natural-themed skin-care stories, or if it's mostly fable.
From Aesop's stripped-down, utilitarian packaging, "earthy" product descriptions, and overall design aesthetic, it's easy to see why those interested in natural-oriented products are attracted to the Aesop brand. How could skin-care products that seem to be so pure and natural be bad, right? We certainly understand the emotional pull natural products have on many people, but the truth is there are good and bad natural ingredients (snake venom and poison ivy are both natural ingredients, but you wouldn't want them on your face), just as there are good and bad synthetic ingredients. Going natural without knowing the details of what you're buying is a recipe for skin problems, not a guarantee of better products.
Refreshingly, compared to many natural-themed lines, Aesop doesn't rely on scare tactics or outlandish claims. Therefore, you won't read anything about "toxins" or about made-up claims that all chemicals are bad (because everything is composed of chemicals). Instead, Aesop prefers to rest on the quality of their formulas and oeuvre to do the real selling. Judging by the number of requests we've had to review this brand, their less sensationalized approach is working!
With that promising start, it's disappointing that Aesop chose to include such a generous amount of fragrance and plant-based irritants in many of their products. In fact, there wasn't a single fragrance-free option in any of the products that we reviewed. (In fact, the box they were shipped in was saturated with fragrance just from the shipping process.) There were a few products with lower amounts of added fragrance—these instances are noted (where applicable)—but there usually were other compelling reasons to avoid any given product in this brand, or at least to consider it cautiously.
Also noteworthy: You will find that much of Aesop's line, from their cleansers, toners, and moisturizers to their masks and eye treatments, have high-end price tags. While we tend to leave it up to the reader to determine what is or isn't expensive, there were a few instances where the formulas were so basic that we had to mention the disconnect with the cost—these were truly simple blends of ingredients that in no way justified their cost.
All of the above is a prelude to the most critical downfall of the Aesop products: There are no options that can successfully (and without potential irritation) address the needs of various skin types or skin concerns of many people. Whether you're struggling with acne, wrinkles, both, or numerous other concerns, from sensitive skin to conditions like rosacea or eczema, you won't find brilliant products to treat them here. Overall, that means assembling a great skin-care routine with Aesop products just isn't possible.
Aesop is sold primarily in department stores like Barney's New York, online, as well as freestanding Aesop stores throughout the United States. Despite their growing distribution, we cannot stress enough how much this line's products disappoint. Aesop has natural ingredients aplenty—but what good is that when so many of the natural ingredients they chose are of little to no benefit for skin, or are potentially problematic?

Whispers in his Sleep
(Oneshot, Kataang)
Rated K+ cause it was short and simple.
Disclaimer: Soooo, I own many things. But I do not own two things I want; Avatar, and a cookie from a reader for this oneshot. Yet.
The moon was glowing tonight. A shining coin lost by a loner in the clouds, now hanging onto the dark, blue-black sky. The color it usually gave after a long yet comforting thunder storm. Stars speckled the sky with mystery, a secret held inside each one. Each more interesting and tempting then the next. Surely Sherlock would die to get a hold on one of those secrets.
Everyone was asleep. Between Aang's soft breaths, Sokka's loud snores, and Toph's even louder snores, you could tell each one's personality. Although, on this very night, one sleeping notion was missing; Katara's normal hoarse breaths.
Katara was watching over them, praying to whoever would listen. She asked for help, asked for guidance. Although she knew that her brother and Aang could protect her, she somehow needed her mother for this kind of help.
"Mother, Yeu, whoever is listening...I need help. How can you tell if you're in love? Is it a sign that tells, or time?" Katara took a deep breath and laid back into his covers, inhaling the slightlest trace of the Water Tribe.
Katara looked over at Aang. He was still asleep, his pale face soaked in moonlight, his remarkable arrow guarding his bald head. Katara smiled. Aang was the master of all elements, the most powerful thing in the world...yet at night, when he was asleep, he was as innocent as Katara had been at the South Pole water tribe. Unguarded, unprotected.
"Sleep well, Aang," Katara whispered. Just as she was about to drift into uncertain sleep, Aang started rambling.
"No! Don't hurt her! Katara- please don't die," the once calm and quite boy was now tossing and turning, swet glistening his once pale face. His cheeks were red, and his eyes were squeezed shut.
Katara rushed over, passing a cloth over Aang's face. What would she do? He seemed to be dreaming about her- a nightmare at that.
"It's OK, Aang. I'm here. He won't hurt you, or me, relax..." Katara couldn't help herself. She gracefully passed her hand slowly down his now less red face. His eyes relaxed, and his eyebrows went back to their normal position. Katara smiled slightly, but he started up again.
"Ozai! No!" Fire Lord Ozai? Poor Aang. Katara rubbed his forehead.
"Aang, listen to me," Katara whispered. "I'm right here. You'll be OK. You're the most powerful being in the world, and well, I honestly think you're the most sweetest, loving boy as well," Aang's face went blank, then resumed it's normal structure. Aang was now smiling, but it wasn't forced or calm. It was dreamy, pure happiness.
"Katara..." he said, apparently still dreaming. Katara turned to look at him. "I love you..." Katara's heart stopped, but she whispered it back anyways, and she truly did mean it,
"I love you too, Aang." Katara went back to her blankets, falling asleep automatically. Aang sat up the second her breaths were present. Getting up, he walked over to Katara, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling happily.
Then, something that only Yeu could explain happened. Aang bent over and gave Katara a soft kiss on the lips, before turning to his sleeping bag.
Neither of them got much sleep that night. Between Aang's kiss and their secret confession, who could have? But one thing was for certain; these two were in love, and even their dreams couldn't harbor that secret anymore. The secret Aang and Katara had hoped to leave in the shadows of the moon.
Author's Note
How did you like that oneshot? I loved it. I was just watching an eposiode of Avatar, and it came to me like...yeah. Simply easy. I loved this one. Short and Sweet!
R&R please! No flames!
Your favorite Vail of Misfortune,
Poisoned Moonshine

|Terms with negative boost should not contribute to coord()
|Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:37:35 GMT
I am firing a query having terms- each associated with a boost factor. Some of the terms are having negative boost also (for negative boost I am using values between 0 and 1). The behaviour is that a document which has got more number of term matches, scores high, the coord() factor contributes to the scoring substantially. This happens even when terms with negative boosts are matched. I am trying to implement a behaviour where the coord factor should only consider the terms with positive boost. How should I proceed?. I would like some pointers regarding from where should I start. I was just wondering whether this should be the default behaviour- that terms with negative boost should not contribute to coord factor. Removing the terms with negative boost from the query gives good results upto some extent; but for searches where terms with positive boost are totally absent in documents, no results are returned. Thanks in advance Chandrakant K. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Terms-with-negative-boost-should-not-contribute-to-coord%28%29-tp24477758p24477758.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Background: Eosinophils contain granule proteins such as eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) that have proinflammatory effects on airways. ECP may be released on activation of eosinophils into the plasma and is widely used as a marker of bronchial hyperreactivity and allergic inflammation. Environmental factors as well as intense physical exertion may influence eosinophil-related bronchial hyperreactivity.
Study objectives: To investigate the effect of endurance exercise at moderate altitude on levels of circulating eosinophils, serum ECP, serum osmolality (sOS), and dynamic pulmonary function parameters in healthy mountaineers.
Setting: Alpine field study performed in the Alps of Upper Styria in Austria.
Type of exercise: Ascent of a mountain at maximal speed.
Participants: Thirty healthy male volunteers from a troop of military mountaineers.
Results: Mean ECP concentration increased by 66% at the summit checkpoint (H2) and remained at 63% above baseline (base checkpoint [H0]) after descent (H4), while the blood eosinophil count decreased concomitantly from 250/μL at H0 (preexercise) to 118/μL (53%) at H2 and to 22/μL (81%) at H4. The total serum ECP concentration adjusted to sOS correlated negatively with blood eosinophil count (r = − 0.37; p < 0.0001) and Pao2 (r = − 0.34; p < 0.001), but positively with the peak expiratory flow (PEF) [r = 0.45; p < 0.0001]. Although sOS correlated with serum ECP at H2 (r = 0.47; p = 0.02) and at 12 h after the start of the experiment (H12) [r = 0.57; p = 0.003], the relationship between total ECP and sOS (r = 0.19; p = 0.034) was less pronounced. FEV1 in percentage of FVC (%FEV1/FVC) [the Tiffenau test], forced expiratory flow rate at 25% of vital capacity, and PEF were significantly higher at H2 than at H0 and H4. %FEV1/FVC decreased to 88% (p < 0.01) and 83% (p < 0.001) predicted at H12 and 24 h after start of the experiment, respectively.
Conclusion: Results provide strong evidence for nonspecific activation of blood eosinophils during prolonged intense aerobic exercise at moderate altitude, modifying both eosinophil dynamics and regulation of ECP release in healthy subjects.

Stock Market Risk
Stock market risk is the risk that an investor assumes when investing in securities that trade on the stock market and that are issued by public corporations (companies that have many shareholders). Stock market risk can come in many forms. Rising interest rates and a rising inflation rate can increase stock market risk. A recession and economic contraction, where corporations will make less money, is another stock market risk. And, of course, there is individual public corporation stock market risk, where the individual company in question is not operating in good faith (an example would be Enron).

Teen Accused of Killing Elderly Davis Couple Pleads Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity
The teen accused of torturing and killing an elderly Davis couple has made his first court appearance.
Daniel William Marsh, 17, is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.
Marsh is facing two counts of murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait and torture.
In his first court appearance yesterday, video of Marsh's interview with detectives shows the teenager, 16 years old at the time, describing what happened the night Oliver Northup and Claudia Maupin were stabbed and killed while in their sleep back in April of 2013.
Prosecutors say Marsh roamed the streets in black clothing with a hunting knife, checking as many as 50 doors in south Davis before entering the couple's condominium.
Marsh's attorney says his behavior was fueled by the drugs doctors had prescribed for his depression and rage.

No. 7 Penn State rallies by Harvard
Nittany Lions overcome two-set deficit to capture 28th EIVA title
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Seventh-ranked Penn State (20-3, 13-0 EIVA) clinched its 28th EIVA title with a come-from-behind 3-2 (20-25, 21-25, 25-13, 25-21, 15-10) victory against Harvard on Saturday afternoon.
Joe Sunder was the Mike Anderson Penn State Player of the Game after tallying 17 kills .481 hitting with a team-best 11 digs. Nick Goodell led the Lions with 22 kills, while Nick Turko posted 10. Edgardo Goas paced Penn State with 59 assists, while Turko recorded three aces. Connor Curry and Peter Russell tied for second on the team with nine digs apiece. Aaron Russell led the Nittany Lions in blocking with three.
The Nittany Lions registered a .319 hitting percentage, while posting 67 kills, seven aces, 44 digs and 5.0 total team blocks. Harvard hit .221 against Penn State and totaled 45 kills, three aces, 41 digs and 7.5 team blocks.
The first set started out close, but Penn State grabbed a 6-3 lead after three consecutive Harvard errors. Despite two kills from Harvard's Nick Madden, three Penn State kills and a Turko stuff had the Nittany Lions leading 10-5. After a Harvard timeout, the Crimson embarked on a 7-3 run to close the gap to 13-12, and force the Nittany Lions to take a timeout of their own.
Harvard followed with a 4-0 run to take a 16-13 lead and send Penn State back to the bench. The Nittany Lions fought to within 17-16, but was unable to take control. Harvard used a 6-1 run to reach set point at 24-18. A Goodell kill and a Crimson error prolonged the set momentarily until a PSU service error ended the set in Harvard's favor 25-20.
Neither team was able to take control early in the second frame until midway through when a 4-1 run by Harvard had the Crimson leading 14-11. After a Penn State timeout, the Nittany Lions continued to trail by at least two points until a 3-0 run had the Lions within 21-20. Harvard called a timeout and slowed the Nittany Lions enough to allow them just one final point. The Crimson closed out the set with a 4-0 run for a 25-21 win.
The Nittany Lions jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the third frame. The Crimson managed to stay within four at 10-6, but a Turko kill and a Harvard error moved Penn State ahead 12-6. A PSU error and a Harvard ace closed the Crimson deficit to 13-9.
Penn State used an 8-2 run, which included a yellow card issued to a Harvard player, to take a commanding 21-11 lead. The run came to an end on a service error by the Nittany Lions, but three consecutive Harvard errors had Penn State at set point, 24-12. The Crimson grabbed final point off a PSU service error before an attack error by Harvard gave Penn State a convincing 25-13 third-set victory.
Penn State took a 4-1 lead to begin the fourth stanza. Two kills from Harvard's Matt Jones moved the Crimson to within 5-3, but a Goodell kill and joint block by Turko and Sunder pushed Penn State ahead 7-3. Harvard closed the gap to 12-9, but soon after a 4-1 Nittany Lion run had Penn State with a six-point advantage at 17-11.
Three consecutive points by Harvard had the Crimson back within three at 17-14. Penn State called a timeout and continued to lead, although Harvard closed the gap to 22-20. Matt Jones tallied Harvard's final point before a Sunder putdown and a Crimson error gave Penn State a 25-21 win.
The Nittany Lions took a 3-1 lead, but the Crimson tied it up at 4-4 with a 3-0 run. Penn State answered with a 3-0 run of its own for a 7-4 lead to force a Harvard timeout. Turko pounded a kill to make it 8-5 and send the teams to the opposite side of the net.
The Crimson came within two twice with two Goodell kills moving Penn State back ahead by a 10-7 margin. After a furious rally Goodell spiked a huge kill to give the Lions an 11-7 lead. Harvard called a timeout and capitalized on a PSU error and a Madden kill to move within 11-9. The Nittany Lions used a timeout and closed out the set on a 4-1 run for a 15-10 win.

Reyes suspended until May 31 for domestic violence
(Reuters) - Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes has accepted a suspension without pay through May 31 for violating the Major League Baseball (MLB) domestic violence policy, the league announced on Friday.
The unpaid suspension of Reyes is retroactive to Feb. 23, 2016, when he was placed on leave pending resolution of criminal proceedings in Hawaii on a charge of domestic violence, which were dropped after his wife refused to talk with authorities.
The Hawaii News Now reported that Reyes, who was arrested on Oct. 31, grabbed his wife by the throat and shoved her into a sliding glass door at their hotel room, resulting in injuries.
"I want to apologize for everything that has happened. I am sorry to the Rockies organization, my teammates, all the fans and most of all my family," Reyes, a 32-year-old four-time All-Star from the Dominican Republic, said in a statement.
"I am happy to put this all in the past and get back to doing what I love the most, playing baseball.
"My wife Katherine has remained by my side throughout everything and for that I will be forever grateful."
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said Reyes cooperated fully with MLB's investigation.
"Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Reyes violated the Policy and should be subject to discipline in the form of an unpaid suspension that will expire on May 31st," Manfred said in a statement.
"I am encouraged by Mr. Reyes' commitment to the treatment provisions of the Policy in order to ensure that such an incident does not occur in the future." Continued...

Friends Don't Let Friends
Use Internet Explorer
Is Internet Explorer the toilet paper stuck to the back of your pants as you walk into the meeting?
It's one of those things that eventually one finds themselves pulled aside by their friend and the truth gets shared…
When it comes to safety, web standard support, non-proprietary development, and feature-rich toolset… the verdict is not in favor of Internet Explorer.
Security does not mean that you can not get infected if you click things you should not but rather helps prevent stealth infections and hijacking of your browser that would put you at infection risk even if you "played safe".
Monday, Microsoft was again forced to issue an announcement of a CRITICAL security flaw in Internet Explorer, and experts again were asking why we have not managed to get the word out far enough that it's just not a good browser!
Hi Kimberly,
Saw your post on your other page about a more secure browser. This is one of those things I *should* know how to do but in the effort to not royally screw it up, could you help me out?
What should I be using and how do I get that?
Yours truly,
An Awesome Just Ask Kim Reader
Great question!
Internet explorer is known for repeated huge security holes (and has a lot to do with the high rate of infections by viruses and malware out there although it is by no means the only reason).
Selecting a secure browser is an important step in protecting your PC from infections and exploits.
You have two other high quality options to try out:
Firefox http://getfirefox.com/ This one is my favorite due to the amount of add-ons and tools available that make marketers lives easier, however Chrome is very quickly maturing so many now disagree. Firefox has a very stable development base and pays attention to security and Chrome is probably six months to a year out from having quite as many features … however, Chrome is often faster. Firefox out of the fast and stable but often its blessing (its ability to run so many addons and gain so many features) is also its curse in that these (like plugins on WordPress) slow it down.
Chrome http://chrome.google.com/ is Google's recent arrival to the browser options and is fast, lightweight and many really like it. There's some tools Firefox has that it does not yet have but that is changing rapidly. Again can suffer under its own blessing of add-ons, but likewise these are important for our business. (I really dislike the lack of integrated RSS page in Chrome that makes it appear as though an RSS link is broken rather than letting a reader easily subscribe.)
It's worth noting that both browsers have been plagued by some problems with the flash player add-on the last couple weeks which appears to not be their fault but has made both seem rather crash-happy at times.
I'd try them both and see which you prefer after a couple weeks… and then let that one become the default browser, so that nothing accidentally opens with Internet Explorer.
This simple change alone will drastically decrease the amount of "nasties" you pick up around the internet and keep your pc and data safer.
Two Honorable Mentions:
There is also Opera http://www.opera.com/ which some people love and there is some reasons to like, but at the same time its missing so many of the "toys" that can make the lives of those of us working in social media easier. Because of this many eventually put it aside in favor of one of the other two. Opera is also loved by those on slow internet connects (for its turbo mode) and those on bandwidth limited connections for certain tools it has to help limit its bandwidth consumption. I've switched to Opera twice and returned from it twice, I need the "bells and whistles" (addons/extensions) that one of the prior two options provide.
Another honorable mention for the Mac folks would be Safari http://www.apple.com/safari/although I've not at all be a fan of its quirks when it comes to web standards and I do not personally feel it is as feature rich as Firefox and Chrome. Many people feel that its native development on the Mac makes it one of the most stable choices for Mac fans. I do *not* have enough experience researching this browser to say how much attention has been paid to security concerns such as cross-site scripting attacks etc (which are browser/web issues). I run Firefox on my Mac laptop as well.
So there you have it in a nutshell. While staying mostly out of the "browser wars", a look at alternatives available to business owners wishing to protect themselves and their computers.
When it comes to the big two, you really can't go "wrong" as any deficiencies are quickly being made up for with add-ons and extensions. Firefox currently has a richer feature set and Chrome currently has speed and lithe going for it yet they are essentially "neck and neck" in this race.
Which ever one you pick, it IS important to get away from Internet Explorer as much as possible and these choices make that move easy.
Happy Blogging!

Research has shown that, in chronic users, marijuana's adverse impact on learning and memory can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear off. As a result, someone who smokes marijuana every day may be functioning at a suboptimal intellectual level all of the time."Cocaine Use Is Decreasing According to the January to June 2012 DTI oral fluid data, the cocaine positivity rate was down 14.6% compared to 2011, continuing a downward trend from previous years; cocaine oral fluid positives in 2011 were down 10.9% compared to 2010. According to SAMHSA, in 2011, there were an estimated 1.4 million current cocaine users aged 12 or older, comprising 0.5% of the population. Amphetamines Use Continues Five-Year Upward Trend The 2012 DTI urine data further reports that amphetamines positives continue a five-year upward trend. In urine drug testing in the U.S. general workforce, the amphetamines positivity rate increased 11.7%, from 0.77% in 2011 to 0.86% from January to June 2012. In the federally mandated, safety-sensitive workforce, amphetamines positives increased 6.8%, from 0.44% in 2011 to 0.47% in the first half of 2012. The new DTI report is based on an analysis of more than 3.4 million urine and 340 thousand oral fluid drug tests performed at Quest Diagnostics laboratories between January and June 2012. About the Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index The Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index is published as a public service for government, media and industry and has been considered a benchmark for national trends since its inception in 1988. It examines positivity rates - the proportion of positive results for each drug to all such drug tests performed - among three major testing populations: federally mandated, safety-sensitive workers; the general workforce; and the combined U.S. workforce.

A weekend away in the beautiful Lake District
16 Sep 2016A weekend away in the beautiful Lake District
The North West of England offers such a variety of accessible experiences and is home to some of the country's most stunning countryside – the Lake District. The beautiful National Park – which serves as the setting of the latest film adaptation of the classic children's novel, Swallows and Amazons, starring Sherlock's Andrew Scott and comedian Harry Enfield – is ideal for a weekend away.
Here are some of our favourite things to do in and around the Lake District, including heading out on a scenic drive adventure, enjoying a play on a riverbank and travelling along the coast in a steam train.
Lake District Scenic Drive
As England's largest National Park and with so much beautiful scenery, a drive through the Lake District is a great way to start a weekend and feel like you're embarking on an adventure like the Walker children of Swallows and Amazons. The route featured in the Rough Guide to Accessible Britain starts at its most northerly point in the pretty market town of Cockermouth. Heading south to the impressive Buttermere, you can take the smooth, accessible footpath from the village car park to the idyllic Lake Buttermere.
Further south the scenery gets wilder and steep, craggy hillsides make for some dramatic vistas. The driving route also takes in Grasmere, a picturesque village that was once home to William Wordsworth, Ambleside, a busy little town that offers some great lunch spots, and ends at the Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre to enjoy the wonderful gardens and accessible footpaths by the shore of Lake Windermere. While some elements of the drive can be steep and windy, bravery is rewarded with the stunning landscape views.
Theatre by the Lake
The very apt host of the Swallows and Amazons film premiere, in our opinion this is one of the most picturesque settings for a theatre that we've experienced. Set on the banks of Derwentwater – a location that is pivotal in the film – Theatre by the Lake also offers a relaxed atmosphere and a programme offering that means visitors to the area can enjoy a number of different plays in one weekend or indulge in film and literature festivals.
The recent addition of the Café by the Lake is a new must visit, the large windows mean that while enjoying a lovely meal or snack visitors can also take in the views across Derwentwater, mountains such as Cat Bells and beyond. There's a large car park next to the theatre which includes around a dozen spaces for Blue Badge holders.
Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway
Vintage steam trains with the classic whistle and plumes of smoke were in their heyday and feature in the late 1920s-set Swallows and Amazons. Travel back to the golden age of locomotives with a journey which winds through seven scenic miles of stunning countryside from Ravenglass, the only coastal village in the National Park. Known locally at the Ratty Railway, this was apparently one of Wainwright's favourite journeys, a return trip takes one hour and 40 minutes and all four of the trains have accessible carriages with ramped access on and off.

It was time. Time to confess. Time to let them know what really happened that night at the subway. Time...it seems that there was precious little of it after all, and we had wasted enough already.
I had to tell them what I knew.
I took a deep breath, steadied my voice, and dried my tears. I looked up at Jade, who was crying with me, pearly tears running silently down her transparent face and fading before they hit the ground. I was so grateful to her, for all she had done. We were in this together. We were the same.
She saw my glance, and knew what I was thinking. She nodded. "You have to tell them, Ethan. Tell them everything."
"I know," I whispered, and the thought brought the sting of fresh tears to my eyes. I let them fall. Jade stretched her hand out and caught one. She smiled and pushed the hair back from my face. "I will always be here for you, Ethan," she whispered. "Remember that. When you are lost, you will find me here." She laid a cold finger over my heart, smiled one last sad smile, and faded from sight.
It was time.

Proper throttle spring placement
Here is a topic I think needs some discussion. I see a lot of throttle springs on engines in hot rods that are hooked up incorrectly. Most are done so the throttle shaft hole will wear out very quickly, ruining the carb. Many are like the 'Bad' drawing shown below. By hooking the throttle actuator in the top hole and the spring to the bottom hole on the throttle lever, there is a net force on the drilled hole in the carb base equal to twice the spring tension! Forces are shown as arrows on the drawings. Next up the food chain is my 'Poor' method which is slightly better by hooking the spring to the same hole as the throttle actuator but since they are not directly in line as in the 'Better' drawing, the forces partly cancel each other but there is still a downward force on the shaft that will prematurly wear out the hole. The 'Better' drawing would be a good situation if the spring and shaft could be kept in constant alignment but as the throttle is opend and closed, they assume different angles and there is wear. The 'Best' case as shown is how yours should be hooked up. The throttle actuator and spring are both hooked to a separate bellcrank that has ball bearings or nylon bushings that can stand any force that the spring can impose on it. Then there is a separate rod that goes from the bellcrank to the carb lever thus there is virtually no extra forces on the throttle shaft hole. Remember these throttle shafts usually go through soft aluminum or pot metal and are not lubricated.

A print that is new to our collection got me thinking about buildings that have been moved, about things worth keeping, and exile, and all sorts of serious things. Single-pointed focus is not my strong point, and so the faithful reader--if you are still there, thank you--will just have to put up with reading several posts melded into one.
This print shows the Brighton Beach Hotel being moved back from the beach to terra firma in 1888, after erosion brought the ocean to the very foundations of the building. No small structure, the hotel was dragged backwards 555 feet by eight or ten locomotives on specially constructed tracks. In a city obsessed with knocking down perfectly good structures and replacing them with inferior ones, why were a few buildings deemed good enough to move?
The Montauk Theater was moved and turned an eighth of an inch at a time, to accommodate the creation of the Flatbush Avenue Extension. Investors discovered it would be far cheaper to move the building than to create a new one. When the Perry Mansion was moved across the Street in Bay Ridge, who knows what combination of sentiment and economics combined to create an extraordinary feat of engineering. And then there was the Lefferts Homestead.
The Lefferts Homestead was moved by the firm of Thatcher and Sons in 1917. From its original position at the corner of Maple St and Flatbush Avenue, it was pulled across the Botanic Gardens and then across Flatbush Avenue to its current position. To their eternal credit, the citizens of Flatbush raised $6000 to move the house, bucking the tide of demolition that destoyed so many colonial houses through the course of the 20th century. Apparently they thought they had something worth keeping, even if it meant sending the homestead out of the heart of Flatbush and into a little exile in Prospect Park.
The picture here from Brooklyn Public Library's Thatcher Collection, shows the house en route through the Botanic Gardens. John Thatcher, founder of the firm, was a Welshman who came to America in 1868 at the age of 17. He lived for some time in Chicago, where he worked as a plasterer, then moved back to Brooklyn to found his own plastering and building firm. Thatcher knew all about creating buildings worth keeping. He built the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, the Dime Savings Bank on Fulton Street, Erasmus Hall High School, the Greenwood Mortuary Chapel, the residence of Jonathan Bulkeley, Grace Church Parish House and other significant buildings. As a contractor rather than an architect, Thatcher's name is not often connected with some of these buildings, and yet he is clearly a man who made an enormous impact on his home borough.
Thatcher was long gone when the firm bearing his name, taken over by his son Edwin, moved the Lefferts house. Appointed Superintendent of Buildings after serving under Borough President Swanstrom as Superintendent of Sewers, John Thatcher died in 1912 investigating a violation at a building site near Snediker Ave in East New York. A scaffold broke, plunging him fifty feet to the ground. A young man on the scaffold with him survived, but Thatcher fell head first and died within a few hours of the accident. The outpouring of grief from colleagues and friends is recorded in a series of letters and newspaper articles preserved in the Collection alongside a portfolio of photographs showing the construction company's fine work. Thatcher lies buried in Green-wood cemetery in a vault built to last by his employees--another exile like Axel Hedman, who embraced Brooklyn as his home and quietly left a solid legacy of buildings worth keeping that has lasted into its second century.
April 3rd, 1888 was when they commenced moving the hotel.
* The New York Times April 4 review:
* Brooklyn Daily Eagle's commentary on the matter appeared in the April 4 1888 paper: page six, column eight.
Both are 'gee-whiz' articles: geeks fascinated with the engines, the machinery, the wonder of it all. No indication of who thought it was a good idea and why. Apparently it was fine entertainment, though, that fine Spring day, even if it was a bit chilly. Take care. -- Garry

African-American Actress Launches Family Friendly Vegan Cooking Show
Hollywood, CA (April 16, 2012) – Broadway & Film actress Christine Horn launches a new family friendly vegan cooking show: "Wings to Weeds" on YouTube.
Christine Horn is an American actress of the stage and screen that splits her time between Los Angeles and Atlanta. She has appeared in a lengthy list of regional theatre and feature films, including the Broadway, Las Vegas and national tours of Disney's "The Lion King". Christine is also a noted singer/songwriter who has released two CDs on iTunes and is currently working on a new project. She believes in creating her own opportunities.
"I love watching cooking shows but I noticed that major networks were missing a show dedicated to the vegan lifestyle. I felt an obligation to fill that void."
Christine created her blog Wingstoweeds.com in 2011 to share her passion for food and her journey into to a vegan diet. The website offers an honest and open look into her transition and offers tips for vegan recipes, cookbooks and helpful videos. With Wingstoweeds.com, Christine isn't attempting to turn you into a vegan, but rather, she's providing you with pertinent information of living and eating healthy.
"My goal is to help people add more vegetables to their plates and more years onto their lives," Horn says. "My sole purpose isn't to convert everyone to veganism. However, I want to squash the misconception that all things healthy are flavorless and boring."
Christine is also fully aware with the health problems in the African-American community, and she seeks to give back through providing them with information of proper nutrition and dieting.
"With obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer and diabetes affecting African-Americans at an all-time high, I feel obligated to share what I've learned about the benefits of incorporating more plant-based foods in our diets." She says. "Yes, some of our health issues are genetic, but most of them can be cured with proper diet, exercise and nutrition."
"Wings to Weeds" currently airs on http://www.wingstoweeds.com and on the YouTube channel wingtoweeds. Several episodes are posted each week.

You need to determine your overall ROI. If very few people buy the program, and your KW costs are high, you could be losing a lot of money. On the other hand, if you sell quite a few of them or its really expensive, then you could be making a lot of money.

These are very estimated numbers, but it's a starting point. When a company has no idea about what conversion rate to expect, and has a paid product, then 2-3% is a 'usual' estimate for products under $100.
As the product price goes up, the conversion rates go down. Also, when there are more than two steps to buy a product (i.e. download, register later. Partial free subscription, full paid subscription) the conversions rates go down as as well.
The inmeasurable number associated with trial and full versions is branding. While someone may dl your program for free, if they liked it - used it, they may recomend it to others who will buy the product, but because they didn't come through PPC - the PPC will not get credit for the conversion, but in reality, that sale was directly influenced by the PPC.
8-9% download of a product I think it a pretty healthy number. If 25% of the trial products were later registered, then you'd run around a 2% conversion rate.
Hope this helps a little.
