All events are free to attend.
On Sunday, Oct. 27, The District will host PurpleLight Las Vegas from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The event will be a part of PurpleLight 2013, which aims to turn the country purple to help raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and kick off November as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. The national movement has been perpetuated by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and The District is proud to host the Southern Nevada portion of the event. PurpleLight Las Vegas will take place on The Green located on the east side of Green Valley Parkway, and will include a vigil of hope to honor survivors and those who have passed of pancreatic cancer.
Four days after the conclusion of the Fall Festival activities, The District will host "the biggest trick or treat party in town." Presented in partnership with Mix 94.1, Halloween at The District will take place on Thursday, Oct. 31 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event will feature Halloween music, trick or treating throughout the retail center and more. The District aims to provide a fun and safe environment for children to experience the Halloween holiday while giving parents the opportunity to experience the recently-revitalized shopping center.
On Friday, Nov. 2, The District will host FARE Walk for Food Allergy, to help support Food Allergy Research & Education. This annual family-friendly event brings together individuals seeking a safe world for those living with food allergies, and the 2013 edition features a 1.5 mile walk around the recently-renovated shopping area. The event begins at 9 a.m., with registration/check-in starting at 8:30 a.m.
The holidays season begins at The District on Friday, Nov. 29, at 6:30 p.m., with the annual Holiday Tree Lighting event. Showcasing the center's impressive Christmas tree and a special fireworks spectacular, the event will once again be hosted by Las Vegas' own actress and best-selling author Cerina Vincent. An exclusive command performance by special guest Frankie Moreno will also take place, along with the arrival of Santa Claus and a cast of holiday characters. Photo opportunities with Santa will be available, and the event is expected to be a fun-filled evening to help patrons wrap up their Black Friday shopping day.
"We're thrilled to host this series of events to reintroduce The District to the community" said Daskas. "The District has always been a neighborhood shopping center, and now that Main Street is re-opening we can offer guests an even greater experience with better convenience, access and visibility to our retail partners."
The District began renovation of its Main Street in the summer of 2013. The primary objective was to recreate a village feel with upgrades, including vehicular access down its primary path and side streets, and additional parking spaces.
In addition to vehicle access, the revitalized area will offer a youth-friendly splash pad, expanded patio seating, additional benches and umbrellas throughout, new landscaping offering added shaded areas, decorative lighting and more.
In addition to the aforementioned events, The District will continue to be home to ongoing events and live performances, with the option to close all or portions of Main Street for special events of all sizes without hindering vehicular traffic.

Random question...I want to work at a gun store but am not sure how to go about doing so. Is it as simple as walking in and saying "I want to fill out an application"?

Random question...I want to work at a gun store but am not sure how to go about doing so. Is it as simple as walking in and saying "I want to fill out an application"?
How do I go about this?
It's kinda like working as a doorman at a topless club...heaven at first, but soon you get real tired of the idiots you have to deal with.
My questions are...
Do you like guns?
do you generally get along with other people you know who like guns?
If the answer to either one is yes, you may want to reconsider.
Hopefully you won't be like an employee at one of the local stores here. He was getting visibly and audibly upset at marked prices not matching what the computer was ringing up, and yelled "g-- d-----" followed by a very sharp "excuse me for just a minute" to the customer he was ringing up. He proceeded to walk to the back of the store, presumably to calm down. I commend him for removing himself from the situation and calming down! but I, and a few other patrons, were (understandably) a bit wary of someone with possible anger management issues carrying. (Open Carry, as were all the store employees)
I think he means that the daily stupidity you will have to deal with will cause you to start to really dislike either, by association.
I thought I liked cars and should get a job an an auto tech..... SSDP
Working at a gun store?
To me that would be the best job in the world for me.....if I could only make the $ per hour I do with my current occupation, I'd already be doing it. Now....if I was working on commission.......that may be a whole different story. Thing is, I'd probably be spending my paycheck before I got it! Okay.......wash that idea.
I worked at one one day a week for a while. It was nice to get the discount. I also just let my hours build up a couple of times and walked away with a new pistol. When I decided to stop working there I had enough built up to clean them out of one particular kind of defensive shotgun ammo and some other odds and ends. it was nice to have a way to feed my firearm habit for a while.
I DO work at a gun store (one of the big box stores). I can't speak for the other stores in the corporation, but our particular store will only hire people for their particular department (firearms, archery, fishing) that are very knowledgable about the product they are to sell. The gun counter mgr knew me for a couple yrs of coming in there and the 2nd Amendment rights movement, prior to hiring me.
The pay is crap, but the people are great. The discount is very nice though. It is SO nice to know that most everyone who comes back to the gun area are like minded individuals. There are very few jobs that have that benefit. I also pick up a ton of students there for my concealed carry classes, which offsets the poor pay.
All in all, I very much enjoy working where I do.
There's an old saying about when you start to do your hobby for a living it becomes WORK.
The best way to get your foot in the door is get to know the management or owners of your favorite store. Demonstrate your knowledge and salesmanship in a low key non annoying way.
But, I have to say, it isnt really all that fun. I worked behind the sales counter to get me through school and it got old real fast. The novelty of it wears of quick.

Last year's top 10 sports stories
By Noah Cain
Sports Editor
Welcome to 2013. Often in 2012, I was reminded why I love sports. I saw great individual and team accomplishments, heard inspiring stories of perseverance and courage, and witnessed unexpected rises to greatness.
However, last year,my attention was also drawn to the dark side of sport: detestable stories of greed, unfairness, and tragedy that had me shaking my head in disbelief.
Following is a list of my top 10 stories from the year gone by. It includes the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the inspiring, and the depressing.
10. Olympic Greatness
Once people stopped complaining about the logo from the 2012 London Olympics, they witnessed two of the best on the world's biggest stage. American Michael Phelps and Jamaican Usian Bolt broke major records in their respective sports and cemented their place among the greatest Olympians ever.
Phelps dominated the swimming events, becoming the most decorated Olympian of all time. He won four gold medals and two silver medals in London, bringing his career medal total up to 22 (18golds) and solidifying his place as the greatest Olympic swimmer of all time.
On Twitter,Usian Bolt calls himself "the most naturally gifted athlete the world has ever seen." I don't know about that, but he safely secured the title of fastest man alive after he won gold in both the 100m and 200m races at the 2012 Olympics. He did the same thing in 2008, which is wildly unprecedented: before Bolt, no sprinter had even won back to back gold medals in the 200m race. By winning both races two Olympics' in a row, Bolt became history's most dominant sprinter, and his Twitter page shows he knows it.
9. Replacement Referees
During the off season, the NFL and its referees were unable to renegotiate a new contract, which meant unqualified replacements took over the officiating of the world's most high impact sport.
The officiating bad was so bad that the first month and a bit of the NFL season was as close to being ruined as the NFL ever could be. Coaches were consistently screaming at the replacements from the sidelines, whom had little to no control of games and blew calls consistently.
The controversy came to a head on the final play of a Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks game. Down 12-7 with one play left in the game, the Seahawks tossed a prayer to the endzone. The pass was intercepted by Green Bay defensive back M.D. Jennings which should have resulted in a touch back and a Packers victory. However, Seahawks receiver Golden Tate wrestled the ball from Jennings in the endzone and it was mistakenly ruled a touchdown, directly resulting in an unjust, plain wrong Seahawks victory.
The regular referees were back to work before the next week's Thursday night game and order was restored to the NFL, but not before the league managed to anger its entire fan base and embarrass itself.
8. Concussions
When sports stories are consistently garnering mainstream news attention you know it's a big deal. As players have gotten bigger, stronger and faster, and medical practitioners have become better at understanding and diagnosing them, concussions are one of the biggest water-cooler topics in sports.Concussions are becoming a hot topic for parents as well, who question whether the risk inherent in physical sports is worth the risk.
Early in the year it looked like hockey's biggest star, Sydney Crosby, who was suffering from more than one head injury, might never be the same. Chris Pronger, a notoriously tough player, missed the playoffs due to a concussion, and countless other players missed time with head injuries in both the NFL and NHL.
Life sounds just terrible for people with serious concussions. Unable to handle the stimulation of being out in public or even watching TV and reading, they are sometimes left to lie in darkened rooms as they recover.So far, the only cure is time.
In attempts to make their leagues safer, governing bodies are tightening the rules surrounding contact to the head. Time will tell if the crackdown works and how it will change the nature of the sports themselves.
7.The New Orleans Saints Bounty Program
This spring, the heralded and heroic New Orleans Saints football team, which became a symbol of hope for post-Katrina New Orleans, was embroiled in controversy after reports came out that players were given cash incentives for injuring opposing stars.
The program was started in 2009 by defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams. Turns out, Head Coach Sean Payton also knew about the program and did nothing to stop it.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell came down with a swift and iron fist of punishment. Williams was suspended indefinitely, and Payton for the whole season losing $7 million in salary.
Numerous Saints players were also found to have been involved in the controversy, many of whom were suspended by the league. These players maintained their innocence until former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue was called to investigate the incident. Tagliabue went on to criticise Goodell and the NFL in their handling of the situation and he lifted player suspensions.
6. NFL Rookies
It was the year of the rookie in the NFL. The two garnering the most attention were Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, who went first and second in the draft, respectively. But this rookie class is not just a couple of superstars − there are many elite players and a lot of depth.
This season, there are four teams with rookies for starting quarterbacks in the playoffs, which is super rare. Two of those four (Griffin, Wilson) had at least a 100.0 passer rating, and Andrew Luck led the league with 7 game winning drives. The remaining, Colin Kapernick, led his team to a first round bye − quite a feat.
Running-backs Alfred Morris and Doug Martin are also among the best at their position, despite their youth. Both finished top 5 for rushing, and Morris set a franchise record while Martin rushed for the second most in franchise history.
On the defensive side of the ball, Carolina rookie Luke Kuechly led the NFL in tackles.
5. NFL Tragedies
It's been an especially hard year for the NFL. League legend and highly respected retired linebacker Junior Seau committed suicide in his home in May at the age of 43.
More recently, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend and then himself in front of team personnel.
A few weeks later, Jerry Brown Jr. died in a car accident caused by his teammate Josh Brent who was drunk at the time.
There are tragedies every year in sports, although 2012's seem more violent than any others I can remember.
4. Lance Armstrong
For years, Lance Armstrong has been seen as the one beacon of fairness in a generation of cycling cheaters. He was all natural, proof that the sport wasn't wholly corrupt. That all came to an end when he was found guilty of doping during his time on top of the Tour de France. Armstrong was subsequently stripped of his seven titles.
Worse than having his name stricken from the record books, Armstrong's hugely successful cancer charity Livestrong has been suffering since the news was announced. He also lost his place as one of America's most inspiring and well-liked athletes. The man who fought cancer, won, and then dominated his sport is now the man who cheated and lied about it for years.
3. Lionel Messi: Better than Everybody Else
Lionel Messi is the best soccer player in the world. In 2012, Messi broke the record for most goals scored by a player in a calendar year (league and international play included). He scored an astounding 91 goals in just 69 games, a rate that is almost unheard of in soccer.
Messi's great success has garnered a deserved while entirely unnecessary pay raise. If Messi can lead Argentina to a World Cup victory in 2014, he will be remembered not only as the greatest soccer player of his generation, but as the greatest soccer player of all time.
2. NHL Lockout
The NHL hasn't played any games yet this season and it looks like they never will. The owners and players are deadlocked posturing for position in what is one of the most annoying pissing matches I have ever been witness to.
I'm not going to pretend that I understand the business behind the lockout. So far I've gathered that the players want more than owners are willing to give and neither side is willing to budge. Feelings have been hurt and egos have been bruised and subsequently bolstered.
It sucks being a hockey fan right now. The Winter Classic was supposed to be on New Year's Day and the trade deadline ought to be just around the corner. Follow that with the playoff race and then, the greatest struggle in sports: The Stanley Cup playoffs. I better stop now before I start crying.
1.Jerry Sandusky
The formerly famed and lauded Penn State football program now lives in infamy after it came out that former defensive co-ordinator Jerry Sandusky was using team facilities for the sexual abuse of children. Making matters worse, others in Penn State Football, including legendary coach Joe Paterno, knew about the abuse and failed to report it to authorities.
Sandusky will die in prison and Penn State was hit with some of the harshest punishment ever doled out by the NCAA. Paterno is no longer the winningest coach in NCAA history: they havestricken his name from the books.
This story illuminates the power sports wields − a power that is sometimes corrupted leading to massive moral failure, and thus a power that needs to be safeguarded.

NYT's Bill Keller Endorses Obama-Clinton Ticket In 2012
There's been a lot of chatter about this in the old and new media, but on Monday, the former executive editor of the New York Times called for Hillary Clinton to be Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate.
In Bill Keller's view, "it does more to guarantee Obama's re-election than anything else the Democrats can do":
I know the arguments against this scenario, and we'll get to those. But the arguments in favor are as simple as one-two-three. One: it does more to guarantee Obama's re-election than anything else the Democrats can do. Two: it improves the chances that, come next January, he will not be a lame duck with a gridlocked Congress but a rejuvenated president with a mandate and a Congress that may be a little less forbidding. Three: it makes Hillary the party's heir apparent in 2016. If she sits out politics for the next four years, other Democrats (yes, Governor Cuomo, we see your hand up) will fill the void.
She would bring to this year's campaign a missing warmth and some of the voltage that has dissipated as Obama moved from campaigning to governing. What excites is not just the prospect of having a woman a heartbeat — and four years — away from the presidency, although she certainly embodies the aspirations of many women. It's the possibility that the first woman at the top would have qualifications so manifest that her first-ness was a secondary consideration.
As for the machinations of replacing current Vice President Joe Biden:
A political scientist I know proposes the following choreography: In the late winter or early spring, Hillary steps down as secretary of state to rest and write that book. The president assigns Biden — the former chairman of Senate Foreign Relations — to add State to his portfolio, making him the most powerful vice president in history. Come the party convention in September, Obama swallows his considerable pride and invites a refreshed Hillary to join the ticket. Biden keeps State. The musicians play "Happy Days Are Here Again" as if they really mean it.
Of course, this is more exciting if it's a surprise, and now I've spoiled it. Sorry. But not as sorry as I'll be if — as I fear — it's just a fantasy.
Isn't it nice that the former executive editor of the New York Times will do anything to "guarantee Obama's re-election" despite the dismal track record of the current White House resident?
Sadly, Keller is not alone for this is the way most of the mainstream media feel and why they'll do anything - including lie - to accomplish this goal.
Prepare yourself for some of the sleaziest most corrupt behavior by America's press in the next ten months you've ever experienced.

On Tuesday, December 3 at 12.30 pm in Evans Arts & Science building 113B, Fulbright Scholar Dr. Kenneth R. Hall from the Dept. of History at Ball State University will make a presentation at SJC on a document that researchers are using to explore the medieval Indian Ocean world.
The document, according to SJC Associate Professor of History Dr. Ilicia Sprey, "is a copper plate inscription from Kollam, India, which sheds a great deal of light on Indian Ocean maritime trade in the 9th century. It is considered by historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists, and others as the most important epigraphic (inscription) source to come to light in some time."
Dr. Hall, one of the scholars involved in this research project, will speak about the copper plates, a legal document written at the port of Kollam in present-day Kerala in 849 CE. Although the Indian Ocean was among the first maritime spaces of exchange, scholars know surprisingly little about the world before the late 15th century CE when European powers – Portuguese, Spanish, English, Dutch and others – first sailed into this ocean.
A group of international scholars is working on transcribing and translating the copper plates and putting them into historical economic and social context. Their work will be published in a volume in 2014 with Primus press.
The SJC Department of History and the Robinson Memorial Library is sponsoring an international traveling banner exhibit on the Kollam copper plates in the Library.
The exhibit grew out of the international research effort on the project and was put together through grants from the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council by De Montfort University in Leicester, England in collaboration with the British Museum.
"SJC is in very good company in hosting this exhibit," says Dr. Sprey. SJC is the first to have it in the US. After being shown here on campus, the exhibit travels to Ball State University; University of Science, Philadelphia; University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Texas, Austin. In the UK, the exhibit just ended its run at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford University. It will go on to Jesus College, Oxford; the University of York; University of Durham - Oriental Museum and Cambridge University's Library.
In addition to the scholarly book about the inscription that will be published in 2014, the plan is to offer companion material from the National Geographic channel—namely two documentaries—each one-hour long. The first is on Arab ship-building in that time and the second is on sailing the treasure ship made in the first.
Dr. Sprey will find times when these documentaries can be shown for anyone interested. The documentaries can also be used in class.
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.

Mapping Communications Strategies to Resonate with the New Buyer
One piece of content is not all encompassing for the vast and complex audience that makes up your target consumer base. Each stage of the buyer's journey is comprised of unique personas and levels of expertise that are in search of information catered to their specific needs. For example, if your products are geared toward B2B customers, the CEO of a company might not find the same value in the introductory information that a junior level staffer might need to advance their skill set. For B2C companies, the gap is even wider if you think about the mix of demographics that your products or services might be relevant to. Would a college student doing laundry for the first time respond the same way to an ad for detergent that was geared towards new parents?
Consider that each persona will also be in search of information relevant to where they are in the buyer's journey. Most of us rely on peer recommendations and online reviews to give us an honest critique of what to expect in a product or service, but not everyone who is researching information is ready to make a purchase. For the product researchers who might be skeptical or simply curious, your content needs to persuade that potential customer to take the next logical step towards a purchase.
Our free on-demand webinar "Mapping Communications Strategies to Resonate with the New Buyer" delves into how content marketers can plan and create content to meet the specific needs of their target audiences. Presentations by Adam B. Needles, chief strategy officer and principal at Annuitas, and Ken Wincko, senior vice president of marketing at PR Newswire, cover topics including:
- How to influence behavior through authentic and transparent content
- The evolution of earned media, and how to harness it
- The role of distribution as the missing link to any content plan

Tennessee coaches asked receiver Da'Rick Rogers one question when Justin Hunter got hurt at Florida two weeks ago: Was he ready for the spotlight?
Question answered.
Rogers exploded for 180 yards receiving and two touchdowns Saturday as the Vols beat Buffalo 41-10 at Neyland Stadium. It was a career day for Rogers, but most of all he was excited about answering the call from the offensive coaching staff.
"Really, the coaches had been telling me all week that a lot of plays would be coming my way, and when they would come, what would I do," Rogers said. "With Justin going down, I felt like I had to come back strong for the team."
He did. Saturday's game turned into a "how can I top this" afternoon for Rogers.
The sophomore quickly became quarterback Tyler Bray's go-to target. Rogers caught a 7-yard pass at the corner of the end zone for Tennessee's second score of the game to make it 14-0 in the first quarter.
On the first play of Tennessee's next offensive possession from its own 27, Bray found Rogers again. The connection went for 56 yards and flipped the field for the Vols, taking them to the Buffalo 17. The Vols ended up kicking a field goal to make it 17-7.
His biggest show came in the second quarter.
With Tennessee pinned at its own 3-yard line and facing a second-and-19, Tauren Poole rushed for 5 yards to give the Vols some breathing room. Then Bray went for the dagger.
Rogers was executing a crossing route when Bray found him open across midfield. Rogers hauled in the ball and turned up the sideline. He looked to be tackled by two Bulls in hot pursuit, but fellow receiver Zach Rogers intervened and laid a huge block to knock both Buffalo defenders out of the way.
Da'Rick Rogers continued on for a 58-yard gain to put the Vols on the 34.
"I was running across the field and I saw Zach inching up there to hit him. I was like, `He's going to kill him,' " Rogers said. "And he did."
The catch secured a career-high in receiving yards for Rogers.
Five plays later, Bray found Rogers once again for a 12-yard touchdown and a 24-7 lead.
Rogers knew the receiving spotlight would shift toward him Saturday. Hunter garnered most of the attention in Tennessee's first two games, but his season-ending knee injury at Florida shoved Rogers out front as the Vols' top receiver. Rogers is OK with that, and Bray is, too.
"He's a hard guy to cover," Bray said. "He's a big, physical receiver. And you can't just worry about him."
Bray had 342 passing yards and spread it around. Tight end Mychal Rivera caught three passes for 38 yards, and freshman receiver DeAnthony Arnett also caught three for 27 yards and two touchdowns. Zach Rogers caught two passes for 24 yards.
However, UT head coach Derek Dooley wants that supporting cast to elevate its performance like Rogers did.
"If Da'Rick doesn't catch for 180, somebody's going to have to make up for it," Dooley said. "We've got to get these yards. But 342 passing is a big number. I'd probably expect more out of Zach. But when a guy catches for 180, what are you going to do?"
The performance was Rogers' third 100-yard performance in four games this season.
"Da'Rick had a real good game," Dooley said. "We need him to have big games like that."

1. "The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going to a fight . . . I'd choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic bomb instead."
2. "The two most important rules in a gunfight are: always cheat and always win."
3. "Every time I teach a class, I discover I don't know something."
4. "Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
5. "Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. I may get Killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death with it, 'cause it's going to be empty."
6. "If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin', you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."
7. "When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket. If you light yourself up, you'll look Like an angel or the tooth fairy . . . and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."
8. "Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."
9. "Nothing adds a little class to a sniper course like a babe in a Ghilliesuit."
10. "Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available."
11. "If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous! If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for."
12. "Don't shoot fast, shoot good."
13. "You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language."
14. "You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it."
15. "You cannot save the planet. You may be able to save yourself and your family."

16. The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
17. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Call it a complete and total disaster.
If this had been opening night for a Broadway show, the reviews would have been terrible and the production might have faced cancellation.
College football is a bit more forgiving – but not much.
Unless Connecticut athletic director Warde Manuel calls Paul Pasqualoni into his office Friday morning and fires the third-year UConn coach, there's nothing equal to that comparison. Such a harsh decision is unlikely – despite public sentiment in Husky Nation after a 33-18 loss to Towson Thursday night at Rentschler Field.
It was, without a doubt, the worst loss in the Pasqualoni years at UConn. This has to be rock bottom, doesn't it?
Junior running back Terrance West rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns and backup Sterlin Phifer scored two touchdowns as Towson claimed its first-ever win over an FBS opponent. Towson, ranked No. 11 in the FCS preseason poll, intercepted Huskies quarterback Chandler Whitmer once and sacked him five times as UConn lost its season opener for the first time since 2010.
Rob Ambrose, in his fifth season as Towson coach, enjoyed a triumphant return to Connecticut, where he was an assistant coach under current Maryland coach Randy Edsall for seven seasons at a time when the Huskies made the transition from I-AA to FBS. Towson was 0-6 against FBS schools since 2008.
"I'm sure in the eyes of some it will be considered very, very big," Ambrose said. "We've played big competition before. We've played well but we couldn't get a win. In the history of this, I suppose one day, people will look back at this as a very large thing.
But the family that's in this locker room right now, we care about each other and we have goals. It didn't really matter who we played tonight. For us to reach our goals, we had to win."
All UConn can do right now is go back to work and prepare for Edsall's arrival at The Rent on Sept. 14, when Maryland visits and the Huskies will be desperate for a victory.
Pasqualoni, coming off 5-7 records in his first two seasons at UConn, was already on the hot seat. With upcoming games against Maryland and Michigan, the pressure on Pasqualoni will increase dramatically. UConn's last loss to a team at the FCS or I-AA level had been a defeat to Eastern Washington in 2001, when the Huskies were making the transition to the big time.
A home crowd of 30,689 booed the Huskies throughout the game Thursday and many fans left after the third quarter. There simply wasn't anything for UConn to feel good about.
"It's disappointing," Pasqualoni said. "One of our strengths of our team over the past couple seasons has been our run defense and West by himself had 156 yards."
Towson quarterback Peter Athens scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 7:35 left in the third quarter, capping a 13-play, 95-yard drive to give the Tigers a 19-10 lead. A 6-yard run by West with 6:02 left in the fourth increased the lead to 26-10.
UConn wide receiver Shakim Phillips caught his second TD pass from Whitmer with 3:29 left in the game. Whitmer then passed to Spencer Parker for the two-point conversion to make it 26-18. The UConn defense forced Towson to punt with 3:04 remaining, but freshman Brian Lemelle fumbled the return and Tanner Vallely recovered at the UConn 30. West completed the scoring with a 5-yard run with 16 seconds remaining.
"It's devastating," UConn safety Obi Melifonwu said. "We have to come back next week and prepare. We just didn't play as hard as we could."
Towson, 7-4 last season, led 13-10 at halftime, taking advantage of an interception at the UConn 29 as well as the Huskies' inability to score a touchdown with a first-and-goal on the Towson 1 late in the second quarter.
Towson defensive tackle Jon Desir tipped a Chandler Whitmer pass but held on to the ball as it dropped between his legs for the interception that gave the Tigers possession at the UConn 29. Towson needed only two plays to score. Phifer ran around right end for 24 yards, then picked up 5 yards to the left for his second touchdown of the game with 7:04 left in the half. D.J. Soven's point-after attempt was wide right and the Tigers led 13-7.
"We work to get our hands up on the quick passes," Desir said. "I was able to tip it. I looked up and it was right in front of my face. It almost hit the ground. I reached for it and had to catch it between my legs. I knew I had it."
Whitmer bounced back with completions of 20 and 22 yards to wide receiver Geremy Davis on UConn's drive. A 22-yard run by tailback Lyle McCombs came up 1-yard short of the end zone but gave the Huskies a first down. A 1-yard loss by McCombs and an illegal substitution pushed UConn back to the 5. After an incomplete pass intended for Deshon Foxx, the Huskies settled for a 22-yard field goal from Chad Christen to make it 13-10.
"The kids are pretty resilient," Pasqualoni said. "I think they know it is one game and we didn't play well as a team in any area."
Whitmer, UConn's starting quarterback for the second straight season, got off to a rocky start. He was 16 of 28 for 206 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He was sacked five times. It will be interesting to see if Pasqualoni stays with Chandler or makes a change.
"They were getting a good pass rush," Whitmer said. "Maybe I could have gotten the ball out quicker."
Pasqualoni said he believes Whitmer is having trouble seeing over the pass rush. Whitmer denied that. Whitmer also doesn't think Pasqualoni will shake up the starting lineup just to light a fire under the Huskies.
"No, not at all," Whitmer said. "We've just got to keep working and keep going."

Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett Set for A Tribute to Johnny Cash
Fri, 10 May 2013 14:13:37
Johnny Cash Photos
There are few cooler than one Johnny Cash and his life and work is celebrated every year. We just found out that outlaw country and Father's Day weekend just got a little more rock 'n' roll. The latest addition to Ventura's recurring celebration of Johnny Cash's life and career welcomes legendary rock band Foo Fighters' lead guitarist, Chris Shiflett, and his rockin' alt-country project, The Dead Peasants, as its special guests on Saturday, June 15. Between the beachfront breezes, renowned musicians, and the show's sexy pin-up pageant, it's no mystery why the festival has become such a highly anticipated summer time event.
An additional spotlight guest includes Johnny Cash's former publicist, fill-in tour drummer and family-friend, Hugh Waddell- who is returning to fill his annual role as the event's emcee. Waddell says, "In this current world, I am thrilled to know that once again, real people, real love-n-guts Americans, all diverse, eclectic and beautiful people, will converge to pay loving tribute to a man who never once did believe in 'flying pigs and exploding bales of hay' - Cash's own descriptive words for puffed up hype."
One of the largest tribute concerts on the west coast, Roadshow Revival: A Tribute to the Music of Johnny Cash takes over the Ventura County Fairgrounds every year on the Saturday before Father's Day. Commemorating the 10-year observance of the passing of John R. Cash in September 2003, numerous individuals will share their personal accounts of "The Man in Black"; explaining how a sharecropper's son from Arkansas changed a musical landscape and influenced countless lives. The fifth annual festival will also feature the return of the Noble Fabrication "Drive On" Car & Bike Show, Johnny Cash memorabilia, and vendors offering food, beverages, and collectibles.
What is your favorite Johnny Cash track? Get more event info on the Roadshow Revival website.

Knee Replacement
Frequently Asked Questions
8. Which type of surgery and prosthesis will I have?
You will likely need a total knee replacement if you have damage to several parts of your knee. You may be able to have a partial knee replacement if only one section of your knee is damaged. However, when one part is replaced, there is a chance that another part will develop arthritis, requiring further surgery.

Ten years and change ago, I made a decision I do not regret.
20 years ago: November 21, 1989 - Manteca High got its girls basketball season under way at Winter Gym Tuesday by defeating Stockton's Stagg High 29-21 in a game filled with errors, turnovers and missed shots. Maci Buck led all MHS scorers with eight points and Jennifer Harvey grabbed seven rebounds.
The cold mornings are finally making anglers wonder where fall went.
My typical post-half or full-length marathon lines are generic.
Jimmy Elam isn't just making up for lost time. He's improving it.
There's a good chance that Jordan Kron is not going to be the typical freshman baseball player trying out for the East Union High squad.
The Jowell Griggs Manteca Unified Student Trust All-Star Classic flag-football game took place Thursday at East Union High's Dino Cunial Field.
When I think about fishing during the month of November, the first thing that comes to mind is the fog.
Trends work on cycles. The 80s have come and gone, then kinda came and went again; sideburns, mohawks, big hair, dyed hair, skater hair, all of it has trendy worth within a context. One thing that has not really made it back since its heyday in the mid 1800s, is the neck beard.
After every tough day of fishing the Delta I usually question my decision as to why I choose to fish there over other local bodies of water.
The Falcons won the second straight MUST title by edging Neil Hafley in a three-game thriller - 25-18, 18-25, 15-12.
The last time I went night fishing it wasn't completely dark, and I wasn't completely fishing.
Duck season opens this weekend, and this is the time of year where anglers have to be extra careful when venturing into the many flooded islands found throughout the Delta. I've learned over the years that it's easier to just leave certain areas to the hunters.

"This embosser added a wonderful touch to our homemade wedding invitations. It looks exactly like the picture. The design is lovely, the embosser is easy to use, and the hardware is very good quality. We will be keeping this embosser to use for our thank you cards, Christmas cards, and for general stationary in the future. I highly recommend!"
"Very easy to use and really lovely results! . I will definitely buy again as a special gift. I love tiny prints quality, I have yet to be disappointed."
"This si the best embosser I could ever wanted! The quality is very good. The embossed papers look very stylish. I tried to emboss paper and cardstock ranging 80 gsm to 300 gsm, it worked perfectly on the ones up to 260 gms, and on the 300 gsm it required a little more pressing power (I am a woman, so that shouldn't be a problem). All the letters are embossed in full, and the fleur-de-lis is so beautiful, gives everything a classy note. I needed this embosser for my very small handmade jewelry business, and all my customers were amazed by the embossed cards, they loved the idea of the embossed effect and they were basically mesmerized by it (they kept touching it cause they liked how it felt)."
"I am delighted with this embosser and love the design! It just dresses up my envelopes beautifully..I'm very happy with my purchase and plan to buy one as a birthday gift for my daughter in law.. I know she'll love it!.. Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"The embosser works great and looks so beautiful! It adds a nice personal touch when sending letters. It will be so useful when we send out our wedding thank you cards! Great product!"

Submitted to: PLoS One
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/2/2013
Publication Date: 6/4/2013
Publication URL: http://DOI:101371/JOURNAL.PONE.0065615
Citation: Yuan, L., Qi, Y., Zhu, Y., Yin, X., Banuelos, G.S. 2013. A novel selenocystine-accumulating plant in selenium-mine seepage area of Yutangba, China. PLoS One. 8(6):e65615. Interpretive Summary: Yutangba is the only selenium (Se) mine in the world with Se content as high as 8500 mg/kg. Human activities, such as coal-mining, coal-burning and lime application to soil, have played an important role in the distribution and transportation of Se within the soil. Consequently, the Se-mine seepage areas contain high levels of bioavailable Se, and it is likely that Se-accumulating plants exist there. In this study, we are trying to identify Se-hyperaccumulating plants that could be useful for Se-phytoremediation strategies. After potential Se-accumulating plant species have been identified, Se speciation analysis was performed on the plant tissue to determine the forms of Se contained within these plant species. The results showed a plant species in the sunflower family accumulated a high amounts of Se that would allow this plant to be considered as a secondary Se-accumulating plant species. Importantly, over 99% of the total plant Se was identified as selenocystine, which has been reported to have potential anti-carcinogenic properties. Future research will be conducted to evaluate both the plants ability to grow on a field scale and phytomanage Se from Se-contaminated soils.
Technical Abstract: Yutangba, located in the northwestern Hubei province, China, is the only selenium (Se) mine in the world with Se content as high as 8500 mg/kg. High Se concentrations in water and soil can be collected from certain restricted areas near abandoned stone coal spoils. In the seepage areas of Se mines, on-site plants (i.e., Adenocaulon himalaicum-Asteraceae) were collected that appeared to be thriving under such soil conditions. They were analyzed for Se content and Se speciation analysis were also performed. The results showed that the Asteraceae accumulated more than 1000 mg Se/kg DW. This kind of secondary Se-accumulating plant extracted Se from the underlying sediments with bio-concentration factors more than 10, which is higher than other plant species. Moreover, up to 99% of the total plant Se was identified as selenocystine (SeCys). This form of Se is likely the result of a unique Se-metabolism pathway that has helped the plant survive in extreme Se growing conditions. This newly-identified plant may provide a beneficial source of Se for Se-biofortification purposes, since SeCys has been reported to have potential anti-carcinogenic properties, and be useful for phytomanaging Se from Se-laden soils.

diatom if it won't rub off?
1 Attachment(s)
I've had this tank up since mid November - and have read about diatom in new tanks. However, everything I read says it will rub off - and this won't. I just did a water change yesterday, and clipped off an affected leaf. I took a scratcher used on inside tank glass to it, and it will not come off. It looks like it is seriously affecting the plant leaves.
I am wondering if it is not diatom, can it be very hard water, PH 8, or that there is to much light?
Here are my stats - tried to include everything.
Thanks for any advice!
startup November 2012 - 15 gallon - no CO2
24" T5 HO - 2 bulbs: Stock 6000k and swapped the 650nm stock bulb for a 10,000k full spectrum. Lights are 12" from substrate.
AquaClear 20 with sponge, Biomax, carbon and a second AquaClear 20 with sponge, Biomax and Purigen. Both set on low flow setting.
Deep Blue Heat Stik 100 watt - temp steady at 77 degrees
Substrate 2/3 Eco Complete, 1/3 black gravel
Flourish, Flourish Trace, twice a week at bottle recommended rates. Just got Flourish potassium so it's only been dosed once. Flourish Excel at half the bottle rate twice a week
using well water. PH 8.0, hard to very hard - 26 drops to get color change on API kit (not sure how to convert drops to KH/GH
I use API Freshwater test kit, and numbers have been very steady. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 -10 nitrate.
Been doing approx. 40-50% water change every week to 10 days.
Hornwort, Cryptocoryne wendtii sp 'Green Gecko', Java Fern, Anubias Nana, Windelov Java Fern, Hygrophila 'Sunset', Brazilian Pennywort, Hygrophila difformis, Bacopa australis, Creeping Jenny, Italian Leopard Vals, Egeria najas, narrow leaf Egeria, Hygrophila sp 'Bold', Hygrophila sp 'Tiger', Aponogeton Crispus, Crypt Wendtii Bronze, phyllanthrus fluitans - red root floater, Lobelia Cardinalis, Lindernia Rotundafolia varigated, nymphoides sp. Taiwan, Slavinia minima, Dwarf Water lettuce
6 neon tetras, 2 male Endlers, 4 pygmy cory, several cherry shrimp, some pond snails and 2 red onion nerite snails.
1) Nerites & Otos
2) Try reducing photoperiod for 6-8hrs.
T5HO lights that are only 12" substrate is probably way too close for these plants without additional CO2, raise them another 6inches or lower photoperiod.
I did get 2 nerites a couple weeks ago. I've heard Otos won't do well in a new tank, so held off on them.
So you think this is some form of algae?
I added 15 ottos to my tank that was only 3 weeks old... That was a couple weeks ago...I would think it would be fine as long as your tank is cycled
When I first set up tank, I was doing 10 hours a day.
10 days ago approx. I went to 8 hours.
\ I had a before and after nerites post of my 10 gallon when it was first cycling. I had diatoms and algea on my plants and apple snail. My nerites ate (cleaned) the algea right off the apple/mystery snail 2!
I know, I had the same issue. "OMG it doesn't wipe off, this isn't diatoms. These people on TPT don't understand this is different". It's diatoms. Give it time
I am using some window screen to cut back the amount of light, and cut back the hours. I got a timer so that will help.
I did notice that my 5 gallon betta tank, a Fluval Spec V, does not have this issue at all. Same water, same care as far as water changes, same fertilizers, but different light. The stock light is LED and not nearly as bright. I usually leave those lights on 12 hours. Have seen zero algae. Plants rarely loose leaves.
I am hoping time, the two nerites and cutting back the light will bring the tank back to green and thriving.
Having no luck finding Otos in the area.
I had an issue with what I assume was diatoms on a few on my leaves in my 8 month old tank. Some of it would wipe off and some wouldn't. I added a few otos......wiped clean in less than 48 hours. It was nowhere nearly as bad as your pics BTW but your setup is only a couple of months old.
I also had the same problem. Put 3 otos to work and they cleaned it up nicely. I was also a fairly new tank (2months old, maybe less) I just did the drip accumulation and all was fine..
Just wanted to get back to everyone and thank them for the suggestion of Otos. I was able to locate some Friday and brought 4 home. This morning, Monday, the over all "cast" to the plants in the tank is no longer brown - it is green. I have to search and search for the Otos when the lights are on - but at night, if I look in with a flashlight, they are all sitting on plant leaves. I thought 2 or 3 would be best for my tank size, but have read they die easily when put in a newer tank - so I got 4. So far, all are alive!
I bought some Omega One Veggie Rounds to feed them after they eat all the algae. I already have blanched veggies in the freezer for my nerite snails and cherry shrimp, so I am set there.

4. Poland
61% America-loving
Despite decades of official anti-American propaganda during Poland's communist era, the U.S. and Poland have been great trading partners since the late '80s. In the communist aftermath, the U.S. eliminated significant foreign debt, provided economic aid and lowered trade barriers in order to help Poland's transition to free enterprise. Since 1989, Poland has supported every American military operation, including the coalition in Iraq. In other words, after a period of Soviet-era anti-Americanism, Poland has jumped on the U.S. economic bandwagon and become an America-loving country.

THR vs FHO
Our 1 yr old Shep. was just x-rayed yesterday, we took her to a specialist today and have a few questions based on anyone's experience......She has severe hip dysplasia in her left hip where the ball is not even in the socket. The surgeon there said he would be open to trying a total hip replacement on her, or we had the option of doing a FHO.....anyone have any experiences with either one of these or both?
Hello, sorry about your dog's situation. I know how heartbreaking that is. My 1 year old male had bi-lateral FHO at 6 months old. He's doing really good. He was running around and chasing his tail in less than a month. Check out this thread if you haven't already. http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...o-surgery.html I'll try to post some video of him this weekend so you can get an idea.

At the same time that the masses were paying 35 cents a round for steel cased Berdan primed 7.62x39, I paid 51 cents per round for brass cased, Boxer primed, soft-point 7.62x39 hunting ammo from Midway. :nanabang:
The second loading of those cases will use home-cast bullets and surplus powder. So if I paid 16 cents difference for the reloadable case, I will have a total of about 27 cents per round in the first set of reloads. If the cases last more than one reloading (which they certainly should), the second set of reloads will be under 20 cents per round.

It is extremely easy to determine if you are looking at an Apple iPhone 5 or an Apple iPhone 5S thanks to the inclusion of a dual LED flash on the new model. This leaves a pill or lozenge shaped cut-out to the side of the camera lens as opposed to the rounder cut-out on the iPhone 5. Additionally, the small opening for the microphone has a new round shape on the iPhone 5S compared to the oval shape on the current version of the device.
While most of the casing, or shell if you prefer, of the gold iPhone 5S matches the casing for the Apple iPhone 5, there is one small change with the font of the printing on the lower back. As we've pointed out before with the Apple iPhone 5C casing, the iPhone name is done up with a thinner font presumably to match the new UI on iOS 7.
The video closes with a comparison of the Apple iPhone 5S and the Apple iPhone 5C shells. The latter is expected to be the budget priced version using a thicker plastic shell. With this phone, we expect to see five different color options (hence the 5 C name). As for the Apple iPhone 5S, we should see black, white, gold and possibly a granite or gun-metal color. All should be revealed on September 10th.

The veteran keeper, who has signed a one-year deal, spent two seasons in the top flight with Reading before they were relegated a year ago. And Hahnemann knows the importance of coming to terms with the difference in quality between the two divisions as quickly as possible.
"The speed of the players has a huge influence on how you play the game in the Premier League," said the 37-year-old. "There are times that you come for a through ball, and you won't get anywhere near it because the guys you are up against are so fast."
He added: "Players in the Premiership tend to be bigger, stronger and faster than those in the Championship and the skill level increases as well.
"It's a huge jump that is almost hard to explain. That first game is like a little wake-up call and it will happen to us this season.
"Hopefully, we won't be too shocked by it and can adjust and come to grips with it quickly because we are going to need to."
Hahnemann, who celebrated his 37th birthday this week, is relishing the competition for places alongside Wayne Hennessey, Carl Ikeme and Matt Murray.
He said: "Competition for places is always good. There are some very good keepers.
"Hopefully, with my experience, we can be very strong in that position and we won't have any worries this season."

Hi everyone,
Recently Lilac Reviews website has been down. I'm not entirely geeky enough to explain it. Evidently some type of hacker/malware was piggy backing off our site to somehow advertise drug companies in Mexico or something. Anyway the site looked fine, but our processing power was being ramped up so high from what they were running in the background that the hosting company (Blue Host) was 'throttling' the site and not letting our legitimate data through to the web so it didn't hang up everyone else's speed.
I had to load some FTP software (File Transfer Protocol, I learned) to go back to a previous backup of the website from December to overwrite or clean out the bad programming. I couldn't use the C-Panel and the backup/restore component there because it kept hanging up (the processing issue effected that too). I didn't know how to find it to erase just the bad code. I found the drug references in the error code log- but didn't have anywhere near the geekiness to figure out how they were doing it to surgically get just those bad files.
BTW, I was on the phone with Blue Host on 3 separate occasions for more than an hour. One time I waited 36 minutes for the tech person to get on chat with me- then spent 2 hours on the chat going back and forth. I was not impressed. Ultimately I had to figure out what to do myself. Because evidently what is in my files and stuff is my responsibility and not theirs. They kept telling me I was using too much processing, but blamed my site and said I needed to 'optimize' it. I insisted I didn't have any fancy footwork going on. Book covers and text. I don't have a shopping cart or any other fancy shenanigans. I only use standard widgets and plugins like Jetpack. They wanted me to strip all the widgets and plugins and add them back one by one to see which caused the site to fail. Isn't that time consuming and it wasn't even the right thing to do. They stripped every last one off and the site was still throttling.
I tell you all this to let you know why there has been an absence of posts for the past three weeks. I now see that the book covers are not showing on all of the posts. Weirdly, the older ones are and not the newer ones even though they were before my backup date. So it may take me a while to go through things and get everything 100% again. I was almost ready to throw in the towel on this. You can guess for yourself if I'm going to renew with Blue Host when my current term expires.
So bloggers out there, and authors too if you have a self-hosted website (not a free one), DO backup your sites!! I could have lost 300+ posts, 2 and a half years worth of work over this. One of the other things I learned is that they are not required to back up- although I swear I read something that it was included in my package.

KC was adopted yesterday! I was a "foster-failure" and decided to keep him. It makes me unable to foster anymore Siberian Huskies for a while, but KC is just too neat of a dog to let go. KC now has a permanent home and a permanent place to lay his head at night...even if it is right next to mine on the pillow!
KC graduated from Obeidence I a couple weeks ago and has now moved on to Obedience II. KC still has the most crooked butt in the class when he is healing and ever time we stop, I have to correct his position to sit right next to me instead of off to the side looking at me. But, he now understands that when I tell him to Stay that he is supposed to stay put even if I walk away. In addition, he picked up the hand signals for Sit and Down with out a hitch.
Hedgehog is still alive. But, he's missing some hair and a paw.
Well guys, the chicken got its beak ripped off. I wonder who could have done that. KC gets his raw hide bones confused with the stuffed squeaky toys sometimes and tears them to pieces. Chicken is still alive, but in intensive care at the Stuffed Toy Animal Hospital waiting to be sewed back together. Since KC seems to LOVE his stuffed squeaky animals, he got a new one. This time we got one with out a beak....It's a Hedgehog! Everyone at doggie day care was so surprised that KC tore up his chicken. But, they say he loves on his Hedgehog just as much as he loved on his chicken. Sometimes, KC gets so excited to play with his Hedgehog (I only let him play with it if he won't tear it up) that he starts to "hump" when I give him the Hedgehog.
As far as Basic Obedience I, KC is doing great! He is learning to heal great! Still working on getting "down" without a treat...but it happens. KC will graduate on the 6th of January. The class took a holiday break and will have our test and graduate on January 6th.
Keep your fingers (and paws) crossed that KC finds his forever home!
We found out this week in Obedience (Basic I) that KC does not have to straighten up his "crooked butt" when he is healing until Basic Obedience II. That's a whole 6 weeks or so away! Whew! KC was thinking that was going to be a hard thing to implement a straight butt in this new thing called "Heal" so quickly.
