text: CAYUGA | Ruth D. Mills, of Wheat Street, Cayuga, passed away Dec. 3, 2012, at Auburn Nursing Home, after a brief illness. She was born on Sept. 12, 1924, the daughter of Philip and Gertrude Dawson. She was a graduate of Port Byron Central School and spent much of her life in the Port Byron and Montezuma areas before moving to Cayuga in 1964. Ruth was predeceased by her husband, Orville (Bob) Mills and celebrated 61 years of marriage, prior to his death. She is survived by four sons, Robert (Shaye), of Somers, Conn., Roger (Maria), of Auburn, Russell, of Webster and Ralph (Sharon), of Cayuga; eight grandchildren, Zackary, Tyler, Laura, Lisa, Michael, Christopher, Rebecca and Simon; four great-grandchildren, Max, Elliana, Eva and Matthew; her sister and brother-in-law, Agnes and William Carr; her brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Doris Dawson and several nieces and nephews. She was an avid card player and enjoyed hosting family gatherings that could not end without a few spirited games of pitch and pinochle. She especially liked cooking Saturday lunch when "the boys� would come to discuss the family business and other topics of the day. Grandma's "everything brownies� were always a favorite treat and will be fondly remembered by her family. In retirement, Ruth and Bob spent the winter months as residents of Punta Gorda, Fla. They traveled frequently, visiting many wonderful places with the companionship of Ruth's sister and brother and their spouses. In earlier years, she worked as a home health aide, assisting several elderly families around Cayuga. She was a past member of the Port Byron Methodist Church and current member of the Cayuga Methodist Church. Services will be held on Friday, Dec. 7, 2012, at the Audioun Funeral Home, 218 Main St., Port Byron. Calling hours will be from 2 to 4 p.m., Friday, Dec. 7, with the funeral service to follow. Interment will be in the spring at Pine Hill Cemetery, Throop. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Cayuga Methodist Church or Cayuga Fire Department.

is it possible to mount screen door on this?
inspired by the other thread. i've been digging and can't find a definitive answer to whether i can mount a screen door to the jamb. the clearance appears to be too narrow so i figured i'll post pictures. this is an exposed side door that was built by the previous owners on to a sun room. ideally i want a storm door there but i'm not sure if it is even possible without tearing down the entire deck area. mean goals for this project is to better insulate door area and protect main door for water as there are some rusting already. ideas thoughts? thanks.
It is a standard Brick mold frame. Only problem would be to cut away part of the ledge on the left side.
the storm door if installed will open from the opposite direction as the main door so i'm not too concerned about the ledge. so will the storm door hang out a bit further from the door jamb then? I'm having a hard time visualizing how it can be secured to the frame. additionally is it worth while to install something to shield the door from all the water? here's the picture of the entry way.
199 Attachment(s)
The frame of the storm door mounts to the brick mould itself. It doesnt matter which way you want the door to swing that rail is in the way so youll have to notch it or the frame. You need about an inch clear from the inside edge of the brick mould.
Not sure what you mean by shielding the storm door from the water.

The American, ranked a lowly 81st in the world going into the tournament, won through 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 in a tough battle on the Rod Laver Arena.
The 25-year-old two-time champion needed six match points to finally end the Czech's stubborn resistance.
Saturday's final will be Williams' first Grand Slam final in two years.
She said: ""I'm so excited. I have nothing to lose, I'm having a lot of fun. I'm back in the top 20 and that means so much.
606 DEBATE: Your views on Williams' victory
"She played some incredible points on match points, she reminded me a bit of myself. I just tried to stay focused and calm. It was great."
Vaidisova accelerated into a two-game lead at the start of the first set as Williams struggled to find her range.
But the seven-time Grand Slam winner broke back in the sixth game as unforced errors began to creep into Vaidisova's game.
Williams built a 5-1 lead in the subsequent tie-break, and held on to take the set despite being pegged back by her teenage opponent.
When she roared into a 5-1 lead in the second set, the result seemed a foregone conclusion - only for Vaidisova to rally to 5-4 after saving three match points in the ninth game.
But Williams' experience and superior consistency then saw her home, a heavily-sliced ace and crunching volley at the net sealing her win.

Quick Quotes: Haye-Fury Press Conference
Former world heavyweight champion David Haye and unbeaten contender Tyson Fury held a press conference today to announce their September 28 all-British showdown in Manchester, England.
David Haye: He's claimed he's the best ever, the best that ever will be, which is a bold statement. If you look at his last performances I'd have to question that statement he made, but now he's got an opportunity to shut me up and show the world that he's one of the best on the planet. I'm happy to give him that opportunity and also give him a nice payday. Up until this point he hasn't worked at this level. I believe this will be his last shot at the big time and what better way to congratulate him for getting here than by giving him a nice huge payday to sail off into the sunset.
Tyson Fury: First of all I'd like to address the situation David's just brought up where he's giving me the opportunity for this big payday. Now let's not get things confused David. I'm giving you the chance. You're the dog and I'm chucking you a bone. I'm giving you a chance so you can have your claim to fame to try to beat Tyson Fury. It's not the other way around. I'm the young up-and-comer. I'm the one that's on everyone's tongue. You're just the one who stinks the place out against people and blames it on your little toe.
Fury refused to face off with Haye after the press conference.

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to smooth and firm the skin of the face and neck providing a fresh youthful appearance. Throughout one's life the sun's radiation, stress, gravity, and other factors causes skin to sag and become very loose. Areas of the face and the neck, in particular around the jawline are especially prone to the aging process. Patients come in for a facelift to treat excess skin and fat in the neck, a sagging jaw line, and crease lines along the nose, mouth, and chin. The standard procedure for a facelift commonly involves making small incisions just inside the hairline following the contour in front of the ear and continuing under the earlobe in the back of the ear and into the lower part of the scalp. A facelift may take several hours or longer depending on whether or not other cosmetic surgical procedures are completed at the same time. Immediately after surgery the face is fitted with bandages in order to decrease the recovery time and to reduce swelling. Generally, post operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing and recovery process. The stitches are normally removed within a week. Patients sometimes report some minor pain associated with the surgery. Any discomfort can be treated effectively with oral medication. I let my facelift patients shower after three days and return to work and exercise after just one week. Overall a face lift is a great procedure that is very well-tolerated and it can produce useful results for a good 5 to 10 years. If you have any questions along the way, just hit the contact tab and will be happy to get back to you very quickly.
Facelift Walkthrough and Before and After Photos
Dr. Schreiber discusses what you need to know about facelifts, including what it can treat, incision placement, surgery duration, and recovery pain management.

Biller Bang Sticks
Do I need a Bang Stick?
If you ever wondered why anyone would use a bang stick or if it would be a good idea to carry one then here's your answer.
This 12-14ft. Tiger shark had approached two divers after they had speared two Ulua as well as some other reef fish earlier in the day. One of the divers was brave enough to grab his camera. Thankfully the shark never ran at them but did follow them all the way to shore.
We recommend you read our article on Bang Stick Techniques and Safety Precautions. While useful as a self-defense tool against aggressive marine animals, there are some crucial safety precautions to keep in mind when carrying one.

The next phase: Pre-purification demands as much raw food to be consumed as possible in preparation for the Power phase. This phase you can start to increase the supplements to aid the cleanse and promote a healthy balance of bacteria.
Moving on to the most demanding but rewarding phase - the Power phase. No meals are to be consumed but raw, fresh juices for 3 days. The body gets to have a break from normal food and has a chance to eliminate the toxins absorbed from a modern-day diet. We are reassured that even though this will be a liquid based diet, hunger will stay at bay thanks to the Supercleanse supplement which will aid in making you feel full. It is reccommended to be endured over the weekend, where you will have the opportunity to distract yourself from food temptation.
To finalise is the Maintenance phase where your digestive system has been given a full cleanse and it is time to slowly introduce solid food. Introducing fruit first, then vegetables, taking thing slowly. This is the time where we epect to see the amazing, rewarding results in our commitment to the cleanse - a refreshed mind, clean digestive system and high energy levels.
Some people even claim they have felt 10 years younger!
We're not going to say that it won't be hard, but we can definitely say it will be rewarding.

The Supreme Court ruled last week that police, when they've arrested someone for a "serious crime," may take a DNA sample of the arrestee and check it against a national database of cold crimes. Defenders of the process say it's no different than taking a picture or the fingerprints of an arrestee; critics say it's invasive enough to violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.
Who is right? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the Red-Blue America columnists, debate the issue.
MATHIS: Want to see something rarer than a solar eclipse? Watch me type this sentence: "Antonin Scalia is right." How often is that going to happen?
But in this case, it's deserved: Scalia joined three liberals who voted against the court's DNA ruling, and wrote the blistering dissent.
The problem with the court's ruling, as Scalia points out, is that there's little to limit it: Yes, the court said DNA should only be collected in the case of "serious" offenses, but it didn't define just how serious those offenses should be.
"The (court majority) repeatedly says that DNA testing, and entry into a national DNA registry, will not befall thee and me, dear reader, but only those arrested for 'serious offense(s),'" Scalia wrote. "I cannot imagine what principle could possibly justify this limitation, and the Court does not attempt to suggest any. If one believes that DNA will 'identify' someone arrested for assault, he must believe that it will 'identify' someone arrested for a traffic offense."
Which is probably what will happen, Scalia wrote. "Make no mistake about it: As an entirely predictable consequence of today's decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason."
If that sounds paranoid, consider this: News broke Wednesday that Verizon has been giving the government data on every single call in its system — the communications information of millions of Americans collected "indiscriminately and in bulk." As the government's power to intrude into your life expands, paranoia may be entirely rational.
Does that sound like the kind of America you want to live in?
"Today's judgment will, to be sure, have the beneficial effect of solving more crimes. ... Perhaps the construction of such a genetic panopticon is wise," Scalia concluded. "But I doubt that the proud men who wrote the charter of our liberties would have been so eager to open their mouths for royal inspection."
BOYCHUK: Scalia is usually right on the Constitution and on the law. And his dissenting opinions are often a glory to behold. When Scalia finds himself with the Supreme Court's liberal bloc on a question, people are right to take notice.
But while much of the commentary about the court's DNA ruling has focused on Scalia's sharp dissent, there hasn't been much clarity about what the five-justice majority actually said.
Contrary to Scalia, the court certainly did not say police could take DNA samples from anyone or for any reason. The justices, in fact, were careful to limit their ruling to the strictures of Maryland's DNA law. Police can only take DNA from people arrested for certain well-defined felonies. Period.
The court has said, for better or worse, that people in police custody have "no reasonable expectation of privacy." What's more, courts have long recognized that police will use information they have to connect the dots to other crimes.
But if you're arrested and — here's the important part — eventually acquitted in Maryland, authorities are required to expunge your DNA file.
Yes, they'll still have your fingerprints and your mug shot. That's true everywhere. Even though, as Scalia notes in his dissent, the court has never addressed the constitutionality of fingerprinting, nobody today would seriously argue that fingerprinting or photographing are "unreasonable" under the Fourth Amendment.
Collecting DNA is hardly unreasonable, either. Fact is, DNA is far more accurate than fingerprints when it comes to identifying criminals — and exonerating the innocent.
Truth is, government is in many respects too big and too powerful to be safe. Could DNA testing be abused? Certainly, just like any other technology.
But nobody should suppose Maryland v. King is the last word on DNA and law enforcement. Legislatures also have a thing or two to say on the question.
Conservatives rightly deplore judges legislating from the bench. Ultimately, how we choose to use DNA to solve crimes or anything else is a political decision. The public, not nine unelected judges, will have the last word.

Everyone knows the tallest mountain in the world. It is Mount Everest. But do we know the highest mountain peak on each continent? These mountains have inspired many mountaineers to conquer some of the most difficult summits. Some of them have several astonishing stories to their credit, while some are secluded from the world, apart from the few enthusiasts who want to climb them. However, there are also people like Erik Weihenmayer, who have conquered all the mountains mentioned below. Let's get to know these beauties then?
Mount Everest (Asia)
Mount Everest stands at a height of 8,848 meters (29,029 ft) above sea level, in the Himalayan Range in Nepal. Mount Everest was first climbed by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay who was a Nepali Sherpa, in the year 1953.
Aconcagua (South America)
Aconcagua is located in the Andes range in Argentina. It stands at 6,961 meters (22,838 ft). Though considered the easiest to climb with respect to severity of route, the climatic conditions are one of the most severe. Battling these remains the biggest challenge for most climbers.
Mount McKinley (North America)
Mount McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America. It looks like a huge mass of snow and can be seen from almost 150 miles away. It stands at 6,194 meters (20,322 ft). It is considered the biggest attraction at Denali National Park and Preserve.
Kilimanjaro (Africa)
Located in Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro actually a massive, extinct volcano. It stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 ft). The summit has a tundra-like atmosphere. It is also the highest free-standing mountain globally.
Mount Elbrus (Europe)
In Europe, Mount Elbrus is the tallest peak. It stands at approximately 5,642 meters (18,510 ft). It is believed to originally be a volcanic mountain, which is now extinct. It is snow-capped throughout the year; you can see numerous glaciers coming down its slopes.
Vinson Massif (Antarctica)
This mountain stands at 4,892 meters (16,050 ft) . It is stretches almost thirteen miles in length and eight miles in width. The weather makes ascent to this mountain very difficult.
Mount Kosciuszko (Australia)
Standing 2,228 meters (7,310 ft) tall, Mount Kosciuszko is the tallest mountain in Australia. Located in the Australian Alps, it has a rocky terrain and receives moderate rainfall and snow during winters.
Fascinatingly tall, aren't they?
Highest Mountain Peaks in Each Continent
Mountains have always fascinated many with their breathtaking beauty. Let us learn more about few of these tallest crowns on earth, known as the Seven Summits.

Stewards Of Our Natural Resources
The DNR would like every hunter in the state to be a steward of our natural resources. They would like every sportsman to pitch in and do their share toward helping to manage our resources in a sound and scientific manner.
That is all fine, great and wonderful, as far as it goes. Many hunters would love to help, and many have suggested ways they could help, but the DNR isn't paying much attention these days. They need all the free help they can get in this day of early retirements, a continuing loss of manpower, and many hunters are willing to.
The DNR says they don't have the manpower and such plans wouldn't work. It's my guess that having a mandatory deer check-in process would produce far more accurate figures on total deer kill, buck-to-doe kill ratios, and possible early warning signs for Bovine tuberculosis, Chronic Wasting Disease and Equine encephalitis than what they have going now. Their claims of it not working is unsubstantiated. The DNR would never know if it would work until they give this concept a chance.
Many hunters have volunteered to promote and staff mandatory check-ins, and many would man a check-in station. The DNR isn't interested, and furthermore, many biologists act as if the public is trying to tell them how to do their job. Well, if one longtime method doesn't seem to be working well and the DNR gradually continues to lose the confidence of the hunting public, than the thing is broke and it needs fixing.
Do we have to wait until the wheels fall off the Michigan deer herd management program completely before someone does something about it?
Such check-in stations could be made to work. I've spoke with hundreds of hunters who say they would volunteer a morning or evening to work a check station. They would take hunter information about where the buck, doe or fawn was killed, date of kill, hunter's name and address, check the kill tag, and whether it was a bow or firearm kill plus other possible questions. This information, over the 90-day hunting season, would deliver more accurate deer kill data than counting deer at the Mackinac Bridge, highway check stations (which are not mandatory), and standing on overpasses and counting deer passing below on cars and trucks.
Hunters want accurate deer figures and not estimates derived from computer models at the Lansing DNR headquarters. Gone would be the combo license, and in would come greater knowledge and the public would be playing a very important role in deer herd management. Hunters would have three business days to bring in their buck, doe or fawn and have it documented.
The area wildlife biologist could choose some key people in each area to put the word out, and I'd bet that hunters would cooperate with enthusiasm. A two-hour instruction period would teach people which questions to ask, what to look for, and how to fill out individual reports. These reports from each check station could be mailed or hand delivered to various DNR offices on a weekly basis.
Granted, this would cause a bit more work for the area biologist but why couldn't they ask for volunteer help to collate information? I believe many people would be happy to help, and it would benefit our deer herd and help the DNR build a better rapport with hunters.
As it stands now, when someone makes a suggestion, those suggestions often are rejected out of hand. I have the greatest respect for the men and women of the DNR, but they can be bullheaded. I haven't figured out whether they feel sportsmen are trying to tell them what to do or if they just do not want to work with civilians. Whatever the reason, the DNR is not doing a very good job of working with the public. It's little wonder the public feels alienated.
I would hope it's not a case of them not wanting to work with civilians. Be obnoxious or tease a timid dog long enough, and that mutt might bite the hand that feeds it. The DNR needs help; volunteers can work for free, and this could help cement a solid relationship between this state agency and the people who help pay their wages.
And, in the long run, our wildlife would benefit. This could be a win-win situation, but the DNR must make the first move. The hunters have spoken, and agreed to help. It's time for a friendlier DNR Wildlife Division, and the only way to get along is to get along.
This is not, and should not be, an adversarial situation. Hunters want to help, and they want something closer to real-life figures than what they've been getting for many years. The DNR must do something to build their image among sportsmen and other citizens of this state.

MEAT destined for the region's school children is being tested for horse DNA as local authorities seek assurances from suppliers over the continuing scandal.
North Yorkshire County Council has carried out spot tests of beef purchased from its main meat supplier and served in its schools.
The tests comes as local authorities across the region demand reassurances from suppliers that they are buying beef products which do not contain horsemeat.
Loading article content
Don McLure, Durham County Council's corporate director of resources, said: "We have sought and received assurances from all of our suppliers that there is no cause for concern regarding the products they provide."
Many councils and other public bodies in the North-East obtain their meat through the North East Purchasing Organisation (NEPO).
Nobody from NEPO was available to comment last night, however Hartlepool Borough Council said NEPO had confirmed that its proactive checks had not found any horse DNA in products bought for the authority.
Other councils, including Darlington and Stockton, said they had been reassured by their suppliers that their meat products were horse-free.
North Yorkshire County Council said all meat supplied for its in-house food service was purchased from Gilmoors in Harrogate.
A recent audit of Gilmoors included an inspection of meat traceability records and the examination of raw meat stocks.
"The audit was satisfactory and showed that everything was in good order, " a council spokesman said.
The authority is awaiting the results of tests of beef supplied to schools by Gilmoors, as well as processed meat products purchased on an ad hoc basis by a small number of schools.
NHS organisations have also held talks with their meat suppliers.
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT), which runs Darlington and Bishop Auckland hospitals, said it had received assurances from all of its nominated suppliers that products were traceable.
A spokesman added: "All of our suppliers are currently testing either the raw material or finished products, and to date no products within the trust have been affected."
South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it had also received assurances from its suppliers.
Meanwhile, Paragon Quality Foods, based in Armthorpe, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, which supplies Whitbread with burgers has said it is investigating after horse DNA was detected in one of its products.
Nestlé, the world's biggest food company, said it had removed several beef pasta ready meals from sale in Italy and Spain after finding traces of horse DNA.
The company later confirmed that tests on all of its processed beef products sold in the UK and Ireland had confirmed no presence of horsemeat.
The boss of frozen foods supermarket chain Iceland apologised after suggesting that DNA testing for horse meat on behalf of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) had been carried out in unaccredited labs.

Moving force identification using an existing prestressed concrete bridge
Chan, Tommy H.T., Law, S.S., & Yung, T.H. (2000) Moving force identification using an existing prestressed concrete bridge. Engineering Structures, 22(10), pp. 1261-1270.
Field measurements were carried out for a moving force identification study using an existing prestressed concrete bridge. A two-axle heavy vehicle was hired for the calibration test of the field measurements. The dynamic bending moments of the test bridge deck brought about by both hired and in-service vehicles were acquired. Dynamic axle forces were identified by means of the time-domain method. Results show that the axle forces can be identified with acceptable results for both hired and in-service vehicles. Therefore the method is valid for identifying dynamic axle forces. Gross weights were obtained by summing up the equivalent axle load of each axle. The fundamental frequencies of the vehicles were obtained by converting the corresponding axle loads identified in the time domain to the frequency domain by using fast Fourier transformation.

U.S. Senator David Vitter today thanked Gov. Bobby Jindal for signing into law a solution to the legacy lawsuit issue. Legacy lawsuits have been a contentious issue for the state legislature, but both the Senate and House of Representatives passed this solution. Throughout the debate, Vitter argued that the stalemate over the legacy lawsuit issue favored one side: the trial attorneys who seek millions in damages.
"I want to thank the state legislature for passing this strong solution to the legacy lawsuit issue which Governor Jindal signed into law today. It will help clean up real contamination and shut down the trial lawyer bonanza, which has been hurting job creation in our energy sector. And it happened for one reason -- legislators did their job, faced a tough issue and voted the right way in the House, and in the Senate," Vitter said.
"LOGA would like to give particular praise to U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) for his leadership as a driving force that resulted in this much-needed solution to these frivolous Legacy Lawsuits. While this was not a Capitol Hill battle, Sen. Vitter made his voice heard in our home state of Louisiana. These two pieces of legislation successfully passing out of the state legislature would not have been possible without his willingness to speak out on behalf of the industry and keep the issue on the forefront of the public debate," said Don Briggs, President of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association.
Vitter highlighted a few key components that he had been fighting for and were part of the solution on legacy lawsuits:
* Allows operators to accept responsibility for cleaning up sites by mandating open and transparent process before trial.
* Calls for a pretrial public hearing
* Makes sure the clean-up plan is publicly available and admissible in court.
The term "legacy lawsuits" is used in reference to lawsuits where a landowner claims old oil and gas operations contaminated their property. These lawsuits are often filed against every operator who has ever worked that property.
Vitter worked closely with and credited Dan Juneau, President of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry and Don Briggs, President of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association for the legacy lawsuit victory.

Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ) made the following statement Tuesday after attending President Obama's State of the Union Address:
"It is clear the president has no interest in bipartisanship.
"Tonight, we saw President Obama finish the same standard left-winged speech he started giving at the inauguration.
"We did not see a leader willing to work together to solve our economic crisis -- we saw wedge politics at its best.
"This Administration's policies are creating poverty, dependency on government, high unemployment, and exploding debt and energy costs.
"The president reaffirmed his misguided belief that more government is the solution to everything. Unfortunately, it is a policy that will lead to more spending and more debt that American taxpayers cannot afford.
"Instead of pushing for more government, the president should focus on how we can reduce the size and cost of a federal government that continues to stifle the economic growth we need to ensure our nation's prosperity."

The actions of a former Tennessee assistant football coach could have the school in more trouble with the NCAA.
According to a story by Yahoo! Sports, Willie Mack Garza wired $1,500 to Will Lyles as reimbursement for an unofficial visit made by former recruit Lache Seastrunk and his mother in 2009 when Lane Kiffin was coach.
Lyles is currently involved in NCAA investigations of Oregon and LSU and potential rules violations surrounding the scouting services he provided the schools.
Both natives of Texas, Lyles developed a relationship with Seastrunk, who eventually signed with Oregon in Feb. 2010. Seastrunk did not play last season and transferred to Baylor last month.
Garza became an assistant at USC after Kiffin left the Volunteers to coach the Trojans after the 2009 season. Garza resigned last month citing "some personal issues unrelated to USC that I need to address." According to Yahoo! Sports, the resignation came after Lyles spoke with the NCAA about the payment.
Lyles said he paid approximately $1,500 for plane tickets for the Seastrunks to fly from Waco, Texas to Knoxville, Tenn., in June of 2009. He produced a MoneyGram receipt showing a $1,500 payment from Garza in July of that year.
Evelyn Seastrunk confirmed she and her son made the trip to Knoxville.
"I'm so sick and tired of this 'Willie Lyles said this and Willie Lyles said that,'" she added to Yahoo! Sports. "I don't care what Willie Lyles says. I don't care as long as my son is OK.
"Whatever undercover dirty stuff that they're doing, I'm pretty sure that Willie Lyles is not the only person. He's just the only one that's been caught. This is something that they've been doing forever."
Tennessee confirmed its knowledge of the allegation, but disputed being found guilty would make the school a repeat violator with the NCAA. The school was put on probation last month for rules violations by its football and men's basketball programs.
"We are aware of the situation as is the conference office," associate athletic director for communications Jimmy Stanton said in a statement. "We've been verbally contacted by the NCAA enforcement staff regarding a recruiting issue in 2009 related to the former coaching staff and a student-athlete who never attended Tennessee."
"We believe, as does the conference office, that this matter is not subject to the repeat offender provision."
Garza, USC sports information director Tim Tessalone and the NCAA declined comment on the case when contacted by Yahoo! Sports.

Acres Wild is an award-winning garden design practice run by Debbie Roberts and Ian Smith. They enjoy creating bold structures softened with naturalistic planting. Their portfolio is varied, ranging from windswept gardens to lush oases. And here are three of their most stunning designs.
1. Views and vistas
The brief: Provide an appropriate 'contemporary country' setting for this new barn conversion in Hampshire. The design needed to enhance the views of the South Downs while also protecting the site from exposure. The owners wanted plenty of space for outdoor living and entertaining in a bold, simple, robust and easy to maintain garden. The garden was divided into six distinct but interconnected garden spaces, including a drive and courtyard, a private garden between the kitchen and granary, an orchard, a games lawn and party terrace, an avenue garden and a 50m-long pond.
The materials: Indian sandstone with brick detailing for general surfaces complimented the local architecture. A deck over the pond was crafted from western red cedar for a natural, warm look.
The plants: Box, beech and holly for hedging and division, holm oaks for evergreen screening with cherries, rowans, and whitebeams for avenues, border and feature trees. Each area has its own palette of plants to compliment its individual character. Lavender and barley 'field' provide summer interest to the south of the house, while willows and dogwoods create winter effect behind the pond with swathes of ornamental grasses and tall perennials providing contrasting colour, texture and movement throughout the year.
2. Lush and luxuriant
The brief: The owners of this property in East Sussex wanted a total transformation for their garden. Previously, the site had consisted of a few beds dotted around the lawn, but Acres Wild were commissioned to create a lush, tropical garden around the house, with more naturalistic woodland planting blending the edges of the site.
The materials: Ian and Debbie created a large pond with a deck overhanging it, which was designed to blend in amongst the lush-leaved planting, rather than be a feature in itself.
The plants: We're talking big-leaved, dramatic, exotic plants here, such as Phormium tenax, Gunnera tinctora, Trachycarpus fortunei, Paulownia tormentosa and Cercis canadensis 'Tormentosa'.
3. Wild and windswept
The brief: The owners of this windswept South Downs garden needed encouraging to venture onto their plot. They wanted a 'wild' garden of informal walks, focal points and sheltered places to sit. Oh, and they wanted a low-maintenance garden too.
The materials: An oak-framed gazebo provides the focal point for the design, and its shape reflects those of the house and a Norman church in the village below. Hard landscaping was kept to a minimum, and remained robust, natural and local to enhance the elemental character of the site. Acres Wild used Cotswold chippings for the paths, Sussex brick pavers, and random Purbeck paving for surfaces.
The plants: The designers stuck to a shimmering, sea-washed and windswept theme for the garden. For shelter, they planted Whitebeam (Sorbus aria), fastigiate Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus fastigiata), Irish Yew (Taxus baccata fastigiata) and sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides). For structure and colour, Buddleia, Caryopteris, Senecio, Phlomis, Hebe, Rosemary, and Russian sage (Perovskia). The coastal theme was highlighted by grasses such as Cordateria 'Gold Band' and Stipa gigantea, S.arundinacea and S.tenuissima, and fennel, sage, sea hollies (Eryngium), white valerian and sea campion.
These designs are truly marvellous, and if you want to find out more about this fabulous design practice, visit the Acres Wild website.

San Francisco Symphony Cancels Carnegie Hall Dates as Strike Continues
The San Francisco Symphony's east coast tour, which was to include a two-night stand at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday and Thursday, has been canceled as a result of its five-day-old strike.
The orchestra announced shortly before 8 pm ET Sunday that the two sides had been unable to reach an accord, and remain far apart on issues of pay and benefits.
Along with its Wednesday and Thursday concerts at Carnegie, the orchestra was set to travel to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark on Friday and the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on Saturday, all with Michael Tilson Thomas at the helm.
The Wednesday concert was to be broadcast nationally by WQXR. In its place, the station will present a 2012 Carnegie Hall Live performance by the Berlin Philharmonic.
The negotiations broke off Sunday after a federal mediator who was overseeing the process proposed a 60-day "cooling off period" that would have allowed the tour to go forward while the talks continued.
The sticking points are largely over pay. Management demanded wage freezes for the first year of a contract, as well as health and pension plan changes. Musicians that say that the orchestra enjoys a healthy endowment of $239 million and its executive director, Brent Assink, has seen substantial pay increases and bonuses. Management contends that San Francisco is among the top three highest paid orchestras in the country.
"We feel we have done everything we could to work with the Administration to reach a deal that would have allowed the tour to proceed," said a musicians' statement. It added that "we deeply regret that this dispute has resulted in cancelled concerts for both our local audiences and on the East Coast."
Assink issued a statement that read, in part, "We are deeply disappointed that the musicians have continued to reject proposals for a new agreement and that the musicians will not proceed with our planned East Coast tour. We have negotiated in good faith since September, have shared volumes of financial information, and have offered many different proposals that we had hoped would lead to a new agreement by this time."
The musicians walked off the job on Wednesday, shortly before that evening's subscription concert, which was abruptly canceled. The strike became the latest in a series of labor disputes among big-city American orchestras.
The San Francisco Symphony won the Grammy Award for best orchestral performance of 2012 on February 10. Less than two weeks later, the orchestra's oboist died after collapsing on stage during a concert.

Replacement of 22 year old implants.
A Satisfied Patient - Baltimore, MD
Replacement of 22 year old implants.
I was looking for a Plastic surgeon to have my breasts augmented. This was not my first time for this procedure, I had it done in 1989. The implants were silicon and placed behind the muscle. I spoke with one of my physicians and he referred me to Dr. Ronald Schuster. I was able to obtain an appointment rather quickly, the office personnel were very helpful answering my questions. Upon meeting Dr. Schuster, I immediately felt comfortable talking with him. We talked about the different types of implants and sizes. We also talked about what to expect, as it had been 22 years since my last surgery. He spoke with me about the surgery, the healing time and when I could expect to return to my activity at the gym. Dr. Schuster's nurse, Royce was always with us and also was helpful with my questions. There were pictures of before and after breast implants for me to view to help my decision. I was and still am able to e-mail Dr. Schuster and he does answer me in a reasonable time frame. My surgery went very well with no complications. It goes without saying that I am extremely happy with the results. Without a doubt Dr. Schuster will be my doctor of choice should I have another procedure. The office is not limited to augmentation, there are many other procedures performed. I have also used the services of the esthetician in the office. I have referred several of my friends to Dr. Schuster, I am sure they will just as pleased as I am A very happy and satisfied patient

text: Posted November 10, 2013 I wish my choice was clear, but there seem to be pros and cons to each. I'm having a real hard time deciding what to buy. I've had each of these solutions in my shopping cart and was unable to pull the trigger. I'm a relative newbie to FSX.. coming up on a year since I began. I'm partial to fighters, though I do fly a variety of aircraft (see the profile for details) so I really want a general purpose solution. I started with a low end Thrustmaster T-flight HOTAS mated with Saitek pedals. The HOTAS has served me well enough, but I want to move up to something more serious. I've poured over the reviews and forum remarks and it appears that the short list is: Saitek x52 Pro - $145 CH Products Fighterstick & Pro Throttle - $285 Thrustmaster Warthog - $530 (prices are best I could find currently and delivered into my Canadian hands) Notably, each step represents a approximate doubling in cost. And although cost is not a huge issue, I like to realize value when I can. If the Saitek x52 pro could satisfy my needs, I'd happily save a bundle in the process. It looks quite slick, feature rich and has a lot of fans. However, there are many conflicting reports regarding quality and longevity of this product. Apparently it lacks precision and 'needs' a warranty violating magnet mod to be a contender. The software (drivers and configuration tools) and support from Madcatz also get's badly knocked by some (and are these concerns applicable to FSX?). The Warthog is clearly the 'no compromise' solution. Quality and feel, support etc. are there. Probably my main concern with this product is that is so darn specific to the A10 with the aircraft specific switches and labels that I wonder how well it will serve as a general purpose controller in FSX. My only other concern is the stiffness of the springs.. not everybody digs that. So, I'm currently leaning to the CH Products solution, but CH gets knocked to the 'plain-jane' appearance and dated features. I think that's a fair trade for reputation the reputation of quality they've secured. However, I have a few concerns and would appreciate any comments in this regard (or arguments for other choices). The throw on the throttle is linear and looks pretty short - how does it work in practice and can it be configured to provide a satisfactory reverse-thrust? I can live with no detentes, but is there enough throw for satisfactory idle and afterburner zones for fighters? OTOH, the fighterstick has a very long throw on the X and Y axis, and by all reports is very lightly sprung. Some have suggested that this is not well suited for modern aircraft (in general and jet fighters in particular). So... please help me decide! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ASTM Issues Non-Destructive Argon Test Standard
ASTM International has issued a new standard designed to provide a method for evaluating gas concentration inside IG units without destroying or altering the edge seal. The new standard, ASTM E2649, Test Method for Determining Argon Concentration in Sealed Insulating Glass Units Using Spark Emission Spectroscopy, was developed by E06.22 subcommittee on Durability Performance of Building Constructions, part of ASTM's Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings.
"Until now, there was no nondestructive test method to sample gas concentrations in IG units," says Jeffery Haberer, technical services engineer, Cardinal Glass Industries, and E06.22.05 task group chair. "Previously, IG units were either altered with a septum for gas sampling or the edge seal of the IG was destructively broken in order to sample the gas content."
Haberer expects the new standard will be used by certification groups and researchers to show the compliance of an IG unit to hold gas at a minimum accepted level.
