Gymnastics Scores Big at Home on Senior Day
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The No. 2 Florida gymnastics team finished 2014 home action with the nation's season-high for team and all-around totals in its win over West Virginia in front of Stephen C. O'Connell Center crowd of 4,240. Florida's team total of 198.325 is the nation's leader of 2014 and is the third-highest in school history. The Mountaineers turned in their season-high road total of 194.925.
On Senior Night, a pair of Gator seniors set their collegiate all-around best totals as they led a Florida sweep of the event. Alaina Johnson's<http://www.gatorzone.com/guides/gymnastics/pages/season_info/player_bios/johnson_alaina.php> winning total of 39.825 is the nation's 2014 leader and also sets Florida's record. Fellow senior Mackenzie Caquatto<http://www.gatorzone.com/guides/gymnastics/pages/season_info/player_bios/caquatto_mackenzie.php> also turned in a collegiate-best of 39.625 to take second overall.
The third floor exercise 10.0 for junior All-American Kytra Hunter<http://www.gatorzone.com/guides/gymnastics/pages/season_info/player_bios/hunter_kytra.php> ups her season-total of perfect marks to five - a school record. She has turned in a 10.0 in each of Florida's five home meets - three on floor and twice on vault. She also took third in the all-around at 39.575.

Florida finishes home action with a 5-0 record and the three member senior class leaves the O'Connell Center with a 29-0 record in the arena over their careers.
* Johnson wins her sixth career all-around title Friday. The total of 39.825 sets the UF record, which previously was held by Hunter (2013) and Kristen Guise (1996). It is the nation's highest total since Georgia's Courtney Kupets posted a 39.85 in 2009.
* Hunter's five 10.0 in 2014 ups her Florida season record for individual perfect marks. Entering 2014, the previous high of three by Susan Hines<http://www.gatorzone.com/gymnastics/bios.php?year=1999&bio=hines.html> came in the 1998 season.
* The all-around win has gone to a Gator in each of Florida's nine meets this season. Gator sophomore Bridget Sloan<http://www.gatorzone.com/guides/gymnastics/pages/season_info/player_bios/sloan_bridget.php>, who only competed in uneven bars and balance beam Friday, won seven consecutive titles. Hunter won the season opener and shared the third title with Sloan. Johnson becomes the third Gator to win an all-around title this season.
* Johnson set or matched her collegiate-best marks for each of the four events Friday, winning vault (9.95) and bars (9.975) and taking second in the beam (9.95) and floor (9.95) standings.
* Sloan wins her fifth balance beam title of the last six meets. Her mark of 9.975 is just off her 10.0 mark set at Kentucky earlier this season. She is the defending NCAA all-around and balance beam champion.
ATTENDANCE RECORD: Tonight's crowd of 4,240 gives Florida a record home season average attendance of 7,366. The previous record of 6,455 was set in 1989.

Fifteen of the Gators' top 20 crowds have come since Rhonda Faehn took over the Florida program in 2003.

On her all-around performance in her final performance in the O'Connell Center:
"I told myself right before the competition started that I was just going to have the time of my life and go out there and have fun. I know that whenever I have the time of my life and have fun, then that's when I do my best and the results showed. Being out there with such wonderful girls, my teammates- they mean so much to me. They're like my sisters. I'll definitely miss them." - senior All-American Alaina Johnson
On her collegiate-best tying and record setting scores:
"I told myself I was going to leave everything out there. I had nothing to lose; this was my last competition in the O' Dome and I didn't want to regret anything and have a blast. That's what I did." - senior All-American Alaina Johnson
On receiving her fifth 10.0 this season:
"Honestly, no matter what the scores looked like tonight, that was one of the best meets that I've had in a while. I'm really proud of myself, and I'm also extremely proud that I got another 10, but it's just a building block." - junior All-American Kytra Hunter
On the team's performance tonight:
"They just really, from top to bottom, put it together; so much consistency on all four events. It was very well balanced. I still think there are areas we can improve upon, which is the exciting thing- yes, Alaina (Johnson) was lights out, and Macko (Caquatto) did really well, and Kytra (Hunter) got a 10.0 on floor; but, Kytra will tell you that's not the typical vault that she could do.
"But, much improved on beam and bars. The dismounts - we had more stuck landings and there was an opportunity for Bridget (Sloan) to rest on vault and on floor. We know that it's great that the team can see, and that everyone can see, that there is this tremendous talent and performance level but still even greater potential, so that's really exciting. It was perfect for all of our fans that came to support our senior class to see such greatness." - Florida Head Coach Rhonda Faehn
On seeing Macko (Mackenzie Caquatto) and Lauren Rose have great performances tonight:
"I love Macko and Lauren; they're actually my roommates so we get along extremely well and have so much fun together. It's nice to see that they went out there and did very well in all the events they did too. We've all worked extremely hard in the gym so it's nice to see they can go out there and their work has paid off. Lauren's vault was amazing; she's been working extremely hard in the gym. To see her do such a good vault after seeing her hard work means a lot to the team and to me as well." - senior All-American Alaina Johnson
On her senior night:
"This was an incredible Senior Night. I just tried to soak it all in and enjoy every event every step of the way with my teammates and with my family being here. It's kind of bittersweet because we do have a long journey to go in postseason, and we have a lot of things to accomplish so it's not exactly over yet. But, being the last meet in the O'Dome with our fans and just competing out on the floor for the last time was really hard, but it was really great. All the fans that came out and having my family by my side and my sister on the floor competing with me made it a really, really special night for us." - senior All-American Mackenzie Caquatto
On setting her personal collegiate-best all-around score:
"I just tried to go out there and soak it all in and do the best I could for the team. The team told us before the meet that they were competing for us tonight, and that was a really special thing. It was a great night, and we've been working really hard in practice. Obviously, it's been paying off, and the team did awesome. It was really special." - senior All-American Mackenzie Caquatto
Talking about fellow senior Alaina Johnson and herself performing well tonight:
"Alaina (Johnson) and I were just trying to soak it all up together. She's been my roommate since freshman year so it's been a really special experience for us, and I competed with her in Elite too. Tonight we just tried to go out there and just leave everything out on the floor, everything we had. I think we really did that. We've been working hard in practice, and we've been building every meet, and I think this meet it showed what we've been doing in practice, how hard we've been working and that we can only build from here." - senior All-American Mackenzie Caquatto
On the team's performance and season-high score:
"It's always good to contribute to a team win and any team score. In the team meeting before we even warmed up, we said we're not only doing this for the school, like we do every other competition, but we're doing this for the seniors. The seniors have a huge impact on us. They're really close to us. We're all close, but it felt good to have that last meet in the O'Dome for them." - junior All-American Kytra Hunter
The Gators' balance beam total of 49.625 - the nation's 2014 high on the event - set the school record, bettering the 49.60 set versus Minnesota on March 1, 2013…Florida's uneven bars total of 49.625 equals the fourth-highest in school history and is a season-best…it also stands as the nation's second-highest total on the event in 2014…the team total of 198.325 is the third-highest in the program's history and the top two totals came in the last year - 198.425 (3-1-13) and 198.40 (4-6-13)…Johnson takes her first all-around win since March 16, 2012 when she turned in her previous collegiate-best of 39.675..Johnson only competed once as an all-arounder as a junior as a lower back stress reaction/fracture sidelined her for eight meets in 2013…of the nation's top six all-around totals in 2014, 11 of the 16 marks have come from four Gators - 39.825 (Johnson 1x), 39.75 (Sloan 2x), 39.70 (Sloan 3x, Hunter 2x), 39.675 (Sloan 1x), 39.65 (Johnson 1x), 39.625 (MCaquatto 1x)….Florida's floor total of 39.675 is the fourth highest in school history - three of the top five totals on the event have come in 2014.

Debt is Booming Among Baby Boomers
Decades ago, it was assumed that households approaching retirement did so with little or no debt. By the time the AARP membership cards began arriving in the mail, the mortgage was paid off (or very close to it), the kids had grown up, attended college and moved out, and there were no more child rearing expenses.
But that is no longer the case. Demographic and social trends, such as the fact that many adults marry and start families later lowest-price propecia costs us than they did in previous decades, means that many households may still be putting their kids through college or paying down their mortgages during a time when they would normally be socking away savings for retirement. Certainly, job security isn't what it used to be. Moreover, rising housing prices and adjustable rate mortgages may explain some of the debt carryover.
But families also demand larger houses, which may send pre-retirees into their golden years amassed with mortgage debt. In 1950, the average household had 292 square feet or house per resident; by 2006 the number had quadrupled to more than 900 square feet per resident.
These trends, along with the free and easy availability of credit may be hurting families who are soon planning for retirement or are already there. Data from the 2004 Consumer Expenditure Survey reveals:
- Among pre-retirement adults ages 55 to 64, more than three-quarters (76.3 percent) had some type of debt, be it mortgage or other residential property, credit card debt, lines of credit or installment loans – up from 70.8 percent in 1989.
- Among seniors ages 65 to 74, nearly 59 percent have debt, compared to nearly 50 percent in 1989.
- However, among seniors ages 75 and over, 40.3 percent have debt, almost double the percentage of 1989!
More recently, a
pdf">study released by the AARP Public Policy Institute found that Americans age 50 and over have been significantly affected by the current mortgage crisis. For example:
- Americans age 50 and over account for about 28 percent of all foreclosures and delinquencies in the current crisis.
- For all households with loan balances that were greater than their home value (a loan-to-value ratio of more than 100 percent), the foreclosure rate was double the national average among the 50-and-older population.
Finally, the study revealed that 53 percent of all homeowners age 50 and over carried a mortgage, compared to just 34 percent two decades ago. But according to the U.S. Census, the home ownership rate among those 55 and over has remained fairly constant over the past 25 years. Thus, while the ownership rate has not increased dramatically, the rate of currently-held mortgages among this age group has. What gives?
I don't have an immediate answer other than my recollection of how things were when I grew up. As a typical family of four, we lived in a 1,700 square foot house in a freshly built suburban neighborhood in a good school system. Back in the 1960s and 70s, this was considered a quite comfortable standard of living for four people. Dad took out a loan for our house, but he saw to it that it was paid back as soon as possible. The only "luxury" I recall was a Buick Electra my father bought in 1972. (This was at a time when the big technological advancement in vehicles was *gasp* power windows…)
This is not to say we would be better off living in huts and taking a vow of poverty. But while we are talking about the debts of the banking industry, and how they got where they are today, it may not be a bad idea to look at consumer debt in terms of retirement goals, and why we have become such a nation of debtors

Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA—September 2013—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has published an updated version of EP09-A3—Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline—Third Edition. This document provides guidance for one of the most common techniques used by both manufacturers and clinical laboratories to estimate the bias of an in vitro diagnostic measurement procedure relative to a comparator.
This edition of the document addresses the design of measurement procedure comparisons using patient samples and subsequent data analysis techniques used to determine the bias between two in vitro diagnostic measurement procedures. Updates to this latest version of EP09 provide more reasons for comparisons based on patient samples; regression descriptions including weighted options, Deming, and Passing-Bablok techniques; measurement of bias at clinical decision points; and outlier detection using extreme studentized deviate.
Jeffrey R. Budd, PhD, EP09-A3 document Chairholder, of Beckman Coulter, Chaska, Minnesota, USA, emphasized, "the practical nature of this guideline—̲there are almost no equations outside of the appendixes, and the concepts are almost always portrayed visually, as well as in written text." Budd stated: "The document was written with the goal of meeting the needs of all users, from the beginning lab tech to the advanced research scientist."
EP09-A3 describes a stepwise approach to comparing measurement procedures that can be used by manufacturers of in vitro diagnostic reagents, which includes those who create laboratory-developed tests, as well as regulatory bodies and clinical laboratory personnel.
CLSI is a not-for-profit membership organization that brings together the varied perspectives and expertise of the worldwide laboratory community for the advancement of a common cause: to foster excellence in laboratory medicine by developing and implementing clinical laboratory standards and guidelines that help laboratories fulfill their responsibilities with efficiency, effectiveness, and global applicability.

Lower motor mount
How hard is it to put the poly bushings in the old mount bracket ?
Do they need to be pressed in[???:)]
No they do not need to be pressed in, some lubricant and patience will do the job.
I just removed my mount with the poly bushings in it, the shaking was too harsh for me even after 10,000mi just fyi so be prepared for that.
So it makes it to stiff well I guess it's better than my motor flopping around under the hood.
so the lower mount is just for torque right? and the top mounts are for just holding the motor and to keep the car for vibrating apart right?
All 3 mounts work together. as for the Vibrating apart thing. If ANY of the mount wear out it will vibrate. When the mounts get old its recommended to replace all 3 because if you just replace the problem mount (the passenger mount typically goes first) the other 2 weaker mounts can prematurely wear out the new mount.
ok thats sounds right, and from what ive been looking at they're relatively cheap and easy to install...any suggestions for sites to buy new ones
ebay, CFM, massive, top speed, etc.
just my opinion, i think you would be better off to replace the entire mount rather than just the bushings but that is just me.
i have all 3 VF engineering polyurethane motor mounts and i dont think the vibration is bad at all. the only time i notice it is if i drop my idle speed down to under 900rpm then the whole car vibrates but only at idle and very low revs while driving. under 2000 rpm i can feel engine vibration in the steering wheel some. in the winter i will raise my idle to about 1300 so it warms up faster on cold mornings and at that rpm the vibration is undetectable to me.
its a trade off. you sacrifice comfort for longevity and performance. the poly will last longer and stand up way better to spirited driving as well as helping the performance of the car. ive had mine for about 4-5 years and have not had a problem yet. i cannot speak for certain about any poly inserts for stock mounts. i just cannot imagine that ending well.
I used Massive Poly Inserts in my stock mount and seems to do fine there's little to no vibrations just in the cold morning till it warms up after that its just fine. It was kinda a pain to put the inserts in I used a table vise and a soap and water solution to help the inserts slide into place but put something in between the vise teeth and the inserts so they don't get damage

One Hall County commissioner has indicated to me that he plans to "modify the tax bill to allow for people to donate to the programs that were cut." Here is my reaction to that commissioner's statement:
I donate to church, the Northeast Georgia Medical Center Foundation, Meals on Wheels, the American Cancer Society and the GOP ($500 to John McCain). I don't make donations for governmental functions. I make tax payments for governmental functions.
Please note that the GOP may soon get dropped from my donation list due to the hysterical actions of the Hall County commissioners Thursday night.
As a conservative Christian and second-generation American, I support wholeheartedly this thing in America called "civil government" wherein people of different races, religions, and nationalities work together for the common good of all people on the basis of shared human values of universal validity. It is ironic that the county commissioners acted so irresponsibly so close to the Fourth of July.
The fabric of Hall County is weaker, much weaker because of what the county commissioners did last week.

Grayslake Wedding In May
"Stan, the manager, was a little gruff, but otherwise, this was the perfect location for our wedding. We got so many compliments on the barn, and the price was right for Chicago area locations."
Grayslake Wedding In May
"The barn is beautiful, and a wonderful place to get married (or just have your reception) as long as you're up to the task of coming up with a plan and executing it on the day of. The vendors that work with the barn (Just Press Play, the iPod DJ; O'Tarpey Rentals; Nancy Rolison, the florist, who is Stan's assistant; the Doubletree Hotel, etc.) are great. As long as you're okay with taking on the job, it's a great value for such a beautiful venue. Anyone whose visited the barn has met Stan, the coordinator, and everyone has an opinion about him...he knows everything there is to know about the barn, and obviously cares a great deal about preserving its qualities. I did find it annoying that he doesn't do any email, but more or less, he returned phone calls quickly when I left a message (about half the time, he is available and answers the call, though), and during the planning process, he was okay to deal with. Don't be offended if, up until the last 6 weeks before your wedding, he doesn't remember you by name- I think he can only keep track of so much, and prior to those 6 weeks or so, whenever you call him, you're going to have to tell him your name and when your event is. He has a lot of good ideas and for the most part knows what is feasible and not feasible, but don't be afraid to have your own ideas, and as long as it's not destructive to the barn, it's usually okay. I can definitely see where Stan would rub some people the wrong way- he has a very dry sense of humor, and has some strong opinions about how to set up the barn, but I think most of it comes from being so familiar with the barn and from seeing what hasn't worked well with other weddings in the past. Do make sure- *double-check* that your date is on his calendar, and that all meeting dates that you set up with Stan or other vendors to meet at the barn are on Stan's calendar, and there's no conflicts. We were scheduled to meet our florist there one weekday evening to go over ideas for floral arrangements. Our florist was Stan's assistant and she set up the with Stan and was told no one was using the barn that evening. We all got there and someone was using it for a fundraising event, so we had to haul all the flower samples back to the florist's house and do the meeting there. One thing to make sure of with the barn itself- if you use the loft for guest seating, make sure they've fixed or replaced the shade that was on the window up there. They had one, but it broke and my guests upstairs were very warm, even with the air conditioning on. Our only other issue was that it was nearly two weeks after the wedding before Stan deposited the check. You pay a security deposit when you sign the contract to hold the date. Then, I think 10 days before the event, you're supposed to pay the fee. Once that check clears and the event is over and there's no damage or clean-up required at the barn, he sends back your security deposit. It wasn't a big deal, just a little weird since we could have stopped payment on the check and they'd have no real recourse. Anyway, to sum up- great place to get married, Stan is okay to work with as long as you follow the rules of the barn, and double-confirm things with him."
Wendy and Jon 's Wedding
"It is such a beautiful building. In order to feature the natural beauty of the wood, we only used simple decorations. Stan, who manages the barn, gave us several good ideas during the planning process. He also knew when to let us just go with what we wanted. It was a pleasure working with him."
Grayslake Wedding In August
"Good price. Beautiful space. Stan (the event planner at the building) is a little rough."
Christina and Geoff's Wedding
Amy and Rino's Wedding
"Byron Colby Barn. Very affordable and in a very nice neighborhood. Very willing to accomodate. I'm into horses and this was a beautiful location. Upscale Barn atmosphere. Beautiful Gazebo for Ceremony and you can have a Horse and Carriage! I did not prefer to use the chairs provide at this location. They only have 40 wooden chairs and the rest are black platic folding chairs. I chose to rent all new ballroom wooden chairs. My catering company helped organize the delivery and setup of the chairs."

Capsule hotels are a form of accommodation that originated in Japan. They are popular because of the cheap fee and the unique capsule space reminiscent of the cockpit of a spaceship.
Capsule hotels were born in Osaka in the late 1970s
The first capsule hotel was born in Osaka in the late 1970s. In those days, the people who missed the last train after drinking often stayed at a sauna which is open late at night until the next morning. Seeing this, the manager of a sauna came up with the idea of a capsule hotel.
The lodging fee is cheap, from 2000 yen to 4000 yen.
The features of the capsule hotel are as follows. Many of them close to stations in the metropolitan area, such as Tokyo and Osaka. The lodging fee is around 2,000 to 4,000 yen. Most of them are only for men. They have bath, sauna, and shower rooms. The amenities are minimal, such as a gown, towel and a toothbrush. Recently the number of capsule hotels for women is increasing.
More and more foreign travelers are using them
Capsule Value Kanda is in front of Kanda Station in Tokyo. 30% of its users are foreigners from 30-40 countries. Many of them are in their 20s and 30s. This capsule hotel has thorough cleaning and security patrol. Users support it because it is clean and safe. It also has a business lounge with free computers and WiFi.
You don't have to worry if you make a reservation in advance.
You can stay at a capsule hotel without a reservation if there is a vacant room. Recently, however, it is wise to make a reservation because it can be reserved even from an overseas hotel reservation site. In the case of Capsule Value Kanda, 90% of foreign travelers make a reservation in advance.
It is useful for lodging for events
Many capsule hotels are by a station in the center of the metropolitan area, so they are useful for sightseeing in the city center. They are perfect for foreigners who come to Japan for a particular event such as a sports World Championship, but want to save money for other things as much as possible.

Rihanna Tweets Shirtless Photo of Chris Brown in Bed
After meeting Chris Brown in Berlin to spend Thanksgiving with him on his Carpe Diem tour, Rihanna shared a photo of the rapper lying in bed shirtless on Saturday (November 24).
The controversial pair may indeed be "on again" as the 24-year-old singer hinted on Wednesday, "All alone in my big ole jet!!! See u soon lover."
After the holiday, Rih-Rih tweeted, "Dis n---a....... #BartObsessed" with a photo of Chris face down and shirtless among Bart Simpson clothing on the bed.
It seems she may be correct, as the 23-year-old star recently posted a photo of himself in a jacket featuring Bart Simpson in hip-hop attire on the back.

Hey all, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask…..ive got 4 themes on themeforet which i'm seriously considering buying, i've played with the demos and like it, BUT i'd like to know something with regards to the checkout page, when the customer has to put thier address details they've got fill in a whole bunch of fields, is there a plugin or something that will just allow them to put in their postcode and house number and then click find and bring up the address automatically?
I want to ask how much you will charge to do a banner for me for my ebay template. I would like something similar to the top banner shown here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/F8N619CWC00-Belkin-Smooth-Folio-iPad-2-case-fo-/130602613069?pt=UK_Collectables_Advertising_ET&hash=item1e6885b94d I do not need all the links written at the top though.
Also i would like like side boxes/banners for free delivery, contact us details etc etc. How much you charge for the side banners/boxes each?
I would like all all of them in vector format please.
no replies guys? everyone on holiday?
Hey all,
Once again i haven't found what i'm looking for and i never rcieved much of a response on my last post so here goes…... I want a wordpress site done for me, it will need to be ecommerce setup to take paypal and google checkout.
The site must be SEO friendly as i wasnt to get it into google top listings….. eventualy!
I basically sell alot of dvds on ebay and at times when the competition hots up you're working for pennies so instead of feeding ebay/paypal i need to start getting people onto my own site. Every now and then i have massive promotions on products to keep ahead of the competition so what i want my store to do INITIALLY is only promote 1-3 products at a time!
So say for instance this coming week i am ahving a toystory 3 promotion. I will only have 3 products for sale for that week, Toystory 1 2 3. So when people visit the site i want the background theme to be toystory BUT REMEMBER that i MUST be able to change that background theme to whatever i need when promoting something else!!
Maybe something like this seen here http://deals.spotshoppingguide.com/wp-content/uploads/best-buy-deal-of-the-day.jpg
I must say i do very much like this current theme available here http://themeforest.net/item/creativeinn-shopping-store/full_screen_preview/119622 I mainly like the top left of the site wher it shows New Trends etc etc etc.
Also i would want a video player say just below the above mentioned where by when you visit the page a trailer of the product can start playing…. i've seen a video player here http://videohive.net/item/make-it-last/132920 I don't know if this particualr video player can be used in wordpress but you get the idea!
Also i want to be able to have a LOCATOR service which will be linked to a different site so say for interest i am am promoting gym membership. I want a box with a map or something saying something like locate your nearest gym and then they enter their postcode and and automatically it will somehow send that information to the gym website and then send back the results to my site….... or if its to complicated maybe the gyms website should pop in a new window…...
Also forgot to mention i will also need a rotatting banner at the top so ican show future upcoming specials show messages etc etc…...
Any questions just ask. Also please don't give me the usual freelancer reply…. look here at my portfolio or we can do this etc etc be more specific please and also indicate how much you'd be looking for….
if only i could figure out how to!! I know i can send messages on themeforest and get pm's…..
hey guys, i wanted to ask if someone here can do a logo/design for me for my website. I don't have a a big budget to spend as i'm just getting off the ground! Basically i've seen something i like and wanted something like it done for myself, i have tried to do it myself from the tutorial but since i'm useless in photoshop i just failed!! The link is here with the end product at the bottom of the tutorial http://abduzeedo.com/creating-crazy-cool-logo I really really like the colours involved there and they catch the eye. Basically i'm going to be using using it for my ebay template header. My writing should spell the name d v d s t o p ,c o ,u k obviously without the spaces! Also i don't know wether or not i should use a logo or not? I was thinking if i needed a logo how about something like an american interstate sign http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-2978603/stock-vector-american-interstate-and-highway-signs-illustration.html or maybe something you may think of?
i have email you both, please check and reply.

Having employees handle their own pay and benefits administration is the Holy Grail of comp and benefits pros. So-called self-service means an entire organization of workers independently sourcing forms and finding answers to payroll and benefits questions online. That means fewer calls to HR seeking basic information.
But old habits die hard. Merely offering self-serve online resources to employees won't automatically make them self-sufficient.
To create new employee behaviors and greater HR efficiencies, initiate a long-term, multimedia strategy using techniques that encourage employees to help themselves.
Spread the word
Experts claim it takes 30 days to create new habits, but HR pros who have achieved high adoption rates for self-service offerings often find it takes 12 months of communication to make self-service stick. Among the techniques they use: including links to self-service web sites in monthly newsle...(register to read more)

Updated - Gonzi: 'Committed to reducing W&E bills' - Muscat reacts
Updated - Adds Joseph Muscat's reaction
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi insisted today that the government was committed to reducing water and electricity bills.
Asked whether the PN was committed to reducing water and electricity bills through its eventual conversion of the power station to gas, Dr Gonzi said: "We have been saying this. We are proposing to have a gas pipeline to deliver gas to our power station, funded partly be the EU and partly through private investment. Labour has now chosen a different alternative and I would like to know why."
In his comments, made to journalists in Berlin, where he met Chancellor Angela Merkel, Dr Gonzi said he was "flabbergasted" by the fact that Labour's energy proposals were dependent on two government projects which Labour had been criticising for the past five years: the interconnecter and the Delimara power station extension.
He said the Nationalist Party would be giving its detailed reactions on Labour's proposals during a press conference tomorrow.
He said the PN had long said Labour's plans would create a financial hole and the proposals for a gas terminal showed that they would increase dramatically.
"This means they will have ships coming in and out instead of a fixed pipeline," he said.
He said it was also interesting that Labour was refusing to publish all its reports and details and failing to say which investors it had met, when the meetings were held and what was agreed formally or informally.
The PN, he said, would publish its own reports and details in the coming days.
(Hear Dr Gonzi's comments here Prime Minister's comments (.mp3 file))
In a reaction, Labour leader Joseph Muscat, speaking in Mqabba, said the Nationalist Party was panicking.
"First they told us it is impossible to lower utility bills, then they told us our proposal is a gimmick and now they are saying they will do they same," Dr Muscat said.

Updated 2:52 p.m. ET
President Obama today telephoned the Georgetown University law student who was called a "slut" and "prostitute" by Rush Limbaugh, who is getting hit from all sides.
Obama called to express his "disappointmnent" that Sandra Fluke has been subjected to "inappropriate personal attacks," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
The president found Limbaugh's comments "reprehensible" and "crude," Carney said.
Limbaugh took fire from Republicans as well: House Speaker John Boehner said the comments are "inappropriate." Ex-Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, a former Senate candidate, said the words were "insulting" and "incendiary." Democrats want an apology.
And two advertisers have pulled their commercials from Limbaugh's radio show.
Limbaugh spoke about Fluke, who gained notoriety because Republicans blocked her from testifying at a hearing on Obama's rule on contraceptives, during his syndicated show Wednesday. She later testified about the benefits of contraceptives on women's health at a hearing called by Democrats.
Here's what Limbaugh said:
The reaction that they are having to what I said yesterday about Susan Fluke -- or Sandra Fluke, whatever her name is -- the Georgetown student who went before a congressional committee and said she's having so much sex, she's going broke buying contraceptives and wants us to buy them. I said, 'Well, what would you call someone who wants us to pay for her to have sex? What would you call that woman? You'd call 'em a slut, a prostitute or whatever.
Carney said Obama thanked Fluke for speaking out on issues. "He felt the kinds of personal attacks that have been directed at her are inappropriate," Carney said.
On MSNBC today, Fluke said she appreciated Obama's call. "What was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud," she said.
The Obama rule requires most employers to offer health insurance that includes coverage for contraceptives without any co-payment. It was amended after heavy criticism from Catholic groups. Now, religious schools, hospitals and charities can avoid paying for contraceptives as long as their insurance carriers do.
The reaction to Limbaugh's comments has been fierce.
"The speaker obviously believes the use of those words was inappropriate, as is trying to raise money off the situation," said Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner.
John DiGioia, president of Georgetown University, said in an open letter to the university's community that Fluke has been "respectful, sincere" and that she "spoke with conviction" on Capitol Hill. Criticism directed at her from Limbaugh and others, however, "can only be described as misogynistic, vitriolic and a misrepresentation of the position of our student."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out an e-mail titled "Rush is reading this," seeking 250,000 signatures on a petition asking House GOP leaders to denounce Limbaugh's remarks.
The Sleep Train Mattress company announced on its Twitter account today that it would pull advertising from Limbaugh's show because "we don't condone negative comments directed toward any group." Select Comfort, which makes the Sleep Number bed, is also suspending its advertising.
Fiorina made her comments during an interview on CBS News.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona women's soccer team went into Sunday's morning match against Weber State with an undefeated Big Sky Conference record. Like Friday night's match against Idaho State, the Lumberjacks were again trailing going into the second half and came back to tie the game but eventually dropped their first Big Sky loss to the Wildcats 2-1.
"We looked fatigued throughout the entire game," said head coach Andre Luciano. "We may have been emotionally drained from Friday night's win and the discipline has to be there to mentally prepare for the next game."
The Wildcats were able to score first off a goal from Abbey Kennedy in the 32nd minute of the first half. Despite Weber State's goal, there was very little offense in the first half with both teams combining for four shots on goal. However, Weber State was able to posses the ball for most of the first and the Wildcats were able to capitalize on its opportunities to take the early lead.
Once again, the Lumberjacks responded with a goal in the 62nd minute with a goal from sophomore Emily Wadell off a throw-in from Mary Harrah. Harrah's throw-in was initially to Cierra Gamble, who was able to get a shot on goal. Gamble's shot bounced off the Weber State goalkeeper's hands and Wadell was able to get the rebound and put it in the back of the net to tie the game.
"Coach told me to fill in the back post, so then I was able to get my foot on the ball," said Wadell on her first career goal as a Lumberjack. "I was in the right place at the right time and I'm glad I was able to tie the game up."
Weber State was able to retake the lead in less than 10 minutes with a goal from Chansi Crompton to give the Wildcats the 2-1 lead.
The Lumberjacks were never able to get in a rhythm as Weber State was able to control the ball most of the game and applied heavy pressure on the Lumberjacks putting up 13 shots with 10 of them being on goal. Northern Arizona was only able to put five shots on goal in a physical match with 14 total fouls between both teams.
This is the fifth straight game the Lumberjacks have trailed in a match and have had to come back from behind, which Luciano would like to see change in the future.
"We have to stop playing from behind," said Luciano. "We have had to play from behind every game since Colorado State and eventually the well runs dry. It takes a lot of effort to play from behind and we need to start getting in front of the game."
The Lumberjacks will now regroup before they head out on the road for their first two-game Big Sky Conference road trip of the season to face Sacramento State and Portland State beginning on Oct. 11 at Sacramento State.

King Kong is a giant ape who became a very big movie star with his 1933 film, followed by a handful of sequels and remakes including a Japanese movie called King Kong vs. Godzilla where King Kong fights Godzilla.
He has been spoofed in numerous Muppet productions, his iconic climb up the Empire State Building being a frequent target of parody.
- In the Jim Henson Hour special "Miss Piggy's Hollywood", Miss Piggy and Gonzo encounter an audio-animatronic Kong on the Universal Studios tour. He sings a line of the musical number "That's Entertainment" (voiced by Jerry Nelson).
- The same theme park incarnation of Kong was featured in Muppet Magazine issue 21, in a feature where Miss Piggy tours Universal Studios.
Creature Shop
- Jim Henson's Creature Shop created two different animatronic versions of King Kong in 1993, one for a UK Weetabix ad and another for an Energizer Batteries spot, co-starring the Energizer Bunny.
- The Gorilla Detector from the Muppet Labs sketch in episode 116 of The Muppet Show, is based on the head of MechaniKong from the 1966 King Kong animated series and the 1967 Japanese film King Kong Escapes.
- When Piggy tries to move a paralyzed Link Hogthrob at the beginning of the Pigs in Space sketch in episode 307 of The Muppet Show, she comments of his weight, "he's like King Kong."
- In The Muppet Movie, during "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along," Kermit sings "She made a monkey out of old King Kong."
- During the theme for Sesame English, as Tingo's plane arrives in New York, a gorilla is seen clinging to the Empire State Building.
- In the "Kermit, P.I." segment seen in the Little Muppet Monsters episode "Space Cowboys," Kermit and Fozzie are on a mission to find a gorilla who has escaped from the zoo, eventually figuring that gorillas like pretty blondes on the Empire State Building.
- A poster of this movie is seen in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
- Baby Fozzie tells a joke about King Kong in the Muppet Babies episode, "The Muppet of Invention."
- In Around the Nursery in 80 Days, Baby Animal imagines King Kong as the ideal babysitter as he is "hairy and smelly", perfect for Animal's type. The other Babies are terrified of Kong, but Gonzo tries to offer King Kong a seat, who takes it in his hands and crumples it into sawdust.
- King Kong also appeared in Baby Gonzo's imagination of him owning a board game hotel, the "Saint Gonzo Hotel", where King Kong is much more behaved, working as room service by climbing up the building. After making a delivery, Gonzo places a banana is his hand saying "Your tip, sir".
- Carl Banas voiced Professor Bond and others in The King Kong Show (TV, 1966)
- Corbin Bernsen played a reporter in King Kong (1976)
- Jack Black played Carl Denham in King Kong (2005)
- Peter Cullen provided the ape vocals in King Kong (1976)
- Peter Elliott played the title role in King Kong Lives (1986)
- Charles Grodin played Fred Wilson in King Kong (1976)
- Dudley Moore voiced C. B. Denham in The Mighty Kong (1998)
- Andy Serkis served as the motion capture model for the title ape (and also played Lumpy the cook) in King Kong (2005)
- Naomi Watts played Ann Darrow in King Kong (2005)

If Marmite Christmas lights and the buzz of Oxford Street leave you cold, this alternative Christmas destination could be just the thing. Centred around the piazza but also taking in some of the streets radiating from it, Covent Garden Christmas offers a wide range of festive treats, all of them beginning on November 7 when the lights were switched on to the accompaniment of the Gay Men's Choir (who will also sing every Saturday from Nov 24 until Christmas). A range of other activities includes the opening of a Lego advent calendar window every day, reindeer petting every Saturday (every Saturday November 10 to December 15, noon-4pm), a food market (every Thursday 11am-7pm until December 20) and a topiary reindeer. The lights remain on display until the first week of January.

This procedure describes the process for students with disabilities who are seeking an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) Degree to request a course substitution.
"For purposes of the Oregon AAOT degree, no student with a disability shall be denied the degree or the benefits flowing therefrom with respect to admission and matriculation at a state university because the student has been granted an academic adjustment or program modification in any course required for the AAOT degree. This provision includes course substitutions when granted as a disability accommodation in the manner prescribed by the student's community college. This provision may not necessarily apply to major specific course requirements or prerequisites." (Joint Boards Articulation Committee - Oregon)
The following procedure has been developed by the Center for Accessible Resources (CAR) for Course Substitution requests from students with disabilities who are attempting to complete an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) Degree.
Lane Community College's Center for Accessible Resources (CAR) will consider a course substitution request on a case-by-case basis, based on the student's disability, as determined by documentation, as long as there is no substantial change to the course learning outcomes. A review will be conducted to determine eligibility and to reasonably accommodate qualified students with alternative course work that will fulfill the appropriate degree/certificate requirement.
Since a course substitution may have the effect of fundamentally altering the nature of the degree, a course that is deemed essential to the degree may not be appropriate for substitution. Please note that this procedure pertains to course substitutions only; course waivers are not considered.
Basic Process to Request a Course Substitution
- The student must request a disability-related course substitution through the Center for Accessibility Resources (CAR) and provide appropriate documentation.
- CAR will analyze the student's disability documentation in terms of type, severity and relevance to the requested substitution. Note: A course substitution will not automatically be made simply because the student has documentation of a disability impacting a particular area of academics.
- CAR will review the avenues that have been pursued in an attempt to successfully complete the course/s for which a substitution is sought.
- CAR will contact the appropriate Division Dean to determine whether the substitution course would result in a substantial change in the course learning outcomes.
- Courses proposed as a substitution must be relevant and consistent for the purpose of the degree requirements and must be approved by appropriate administrators.
- If the substitution would result in a substantial change in the course learning outcomes, the substitution will be denied.
- If the substitution does not result in a substantial change in the course learning outcomes, it will be approved.
When a student seeking an AAOT degree requests a Course Substitution, CAR will perform the following steps:
STEP 1: Review and Analysis
- CAR will review the types of accessible technology, tutoring, and other reasonable accommodations that have been utilized in an effort to enable the student to succeed in standard course work.
- CAR will clarify whether the student has worked closely with the academic division. If not, CAR will refer the student to the appropriate Division Dean.
- CAR will review the student's transcript to determine whether the student has attempted and not passed the course/s in question, despite having used appropriate accommodations and other college resources. (This is not a requirement for approving a course substitution, but may be a factor.)
CAR will confirm that the student is "otherwise qualified" according to the ADA to participate in the degree program, as specified in the AAOT program requirements.
STEP 2: Explore Options
- If pertinent, CAR will explore alternatives to a program substitution with the student (such as other degrees or other courses), without violating the student's right to obtain the preferred degree.
- CAR will notify the student that s/he needs to work with the planned transfer university to make sure the requested course substitution will not impact the university's degree requirements.
STEP 3: Consultation
- CAR will consult with the Executive Dean for Academic Transfer in order to consider the appropriateness of a course substitution.
STEP 4: Determination of Appropriate Course to Substitute
- If a course substitution is a viable option, CAR will consult with the program Division Dean, and the Executive Dean for Academic Transfer to determine potential courses that could be approved as course substitutions, taking into consideration courses the student has already completed.
- CAR Staff will notify the student of the determination regarding a course substitution.
STEP 5: Finalizing Course Substitution
- The CAR Associate Dean will send a memo to the Dean of Enrollment Management Systems that provides a specific recommendation related to the course substitution request, as well as the legal risks if the College chooses not to approve the request.
- The memo will include the course substitution recommendations from STEP 4.
- The memo will request confirmation about the final decision for that student's request.
For questions about this process, contact Center for Accessible Resources: Voice: (541) 463-5150, TTY: 711, FAX: (541) 463-4739, or email@example.com

Torres, 31, played three seasons for the Crew (2001-03) in between stints in his native Costa Rica with Deportivo Saprissa, then in 2005 he moved to Scandinavia, where he played for Tromso IL (Norway) and Bodens BK (Sweden). RSL signed him in 2006, and he played two seasons before heading back overseas to join Byrne BK of the Norwegian Second Division during the 2008 season.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Torres (5-foot-8, 160 pounds) is playing for Costa Rica at the UNCAF Nations Cup in Honduras, which concludes Sunday, and will be eligible to play for FC Dallas once his P-1 work visa is issued. (Foreign players who have left MLS must re-apply for work visas upon their return.)
Torres played 38 regular-season and playoff games for the Crew at left back, midfield and central defense in his three seasons in Columbus. He played 26 games for RSL in 2006 and 2007. In his 64 MLS games he has one assist and no goals.
The 23-year-old Purdy (6-foot-4, 190 pounds) played four years (2003-06) at Cal Berkeley and signed with German Second Division club 1860 Munich rather than report to the Galaxy, which selected him in the 2007 Supplemental Draft. The Galaxy's claim to rights expired at the end of 2008.

Ignoring polls, Matthews claimed only "irregular Republicans" support Minuteman patrols
Research ››› ››› JOE BROWN
On MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews suggested that only "irregular Republicans" support patrols of the U.S.-Mexico border by the Minuteman Project, a group determined to stop what it calls "[t]he human flood breaching our Homeland Defense." But public-opinion polls suggest significant Republican support for the Minutemen and their activities.
On the June 6 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews suggested that only "irregular Republicans" support patrols of the U.S.-Mexico border by the Minuteman Project, a group determined to stop what it calls "[t]he human flood breaching our Homeland Defense." But public-opinion polls suggest significant Republican support for the Minutemen and their activities.
In a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll conducted May 16-18 -- the only recent national poll on the subject -- 57 percent of Republicans said that they viewed the Minutemen as "concerned citizens doing what the government is not doing," while 28 percent said the Minutemen were "vigilantes who should leave patrolling to professional law enforcement." (Seven percent said they "haven't heard" of the Minutemen, and another 7 percent said they "don't know.")
Older polls on the issue showed a similar trend. An October 2005 CBS News poll showed Republicans split on the issue, and a contemporaneous poll conducted by a Republican polling firm and a September 2005 poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports showed majority support for the Minutemen. The questions in those polls were worded differently, but each poll showed significant support among Republicans for the Minutemen.
In the CBS News survey, conducted October 3-5, 2005, respondents were asked whether "citizen volunteers" such as the Minutemen should be allowed to patrol the border or whether border patrols should be left to government law enforcement. Fifty percent of Republicans said volunteers should be allowed to patrol the border, while 48 percent said they should not.
However, the survey administered by the GOP polling firm, the Tarrance Group, found majority support for the Minutemen among Republicans. That poll, which was commissioned by the conservative Manhattan Institute and conducted among "likely Republican voters" from October 2-5, 2005, found that 59 percent of respondents said they "approve" of the Minuteman Project and its "efforts," while 21 percent said they disapproved, and 20 percent said they were "unsure" or refused to answer.
Similarly, the Rasmussen Reports poll, conducted September 20-21, 2005, found that "[t]he Minutemen volunteers are viewed favorably by 65% of Republicans," and that "Republicans, by a 59% to 29% margin, say that the federal government should encourage citizen patrols along the entire [U.S.-Mexico] border."
Matthews made his comments during a conversation with MSNBC political analyst Ron Reagan and Republican strategist and former Rep. Vin Weber (R-MN). When Reagan suggested that President Bush's "conservative base" disagreed with him on the issue of illegal immigration, because they support the Minutemen's patrols of the U.S.-Mexico border, Weber responded that the Minutemen are "not the Republican base." Matthews then asserted: "OK, the irregular Republicans want to send Minutemen [to the border]."
From the June 6 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: Ron, is there a middle on this one?
REAGAN: There doesn't seem to be. Or you could argue that the president has actually struck the middle path here in this. He seems to be trying to do some version of the right thing. Unfortunately, his conservative base doesn't seem to agree with him on this. They want to build walls. They want to put, you know, vigilantes on the border and all that sort of thing. And he's trying to court his conservative base.
MATTHEWS: Who wants to put vigilantes on the border?
REAGAN: Well, you know, the -- those guys that go down there, not the National Guard, of course --
MATTHEWS: The Minutemen.
REAGAN: The Minutemen, exactly, the Minutemen people.
WEBER: Ron, excuse me, could I just -- those are not the Republican base. I mean, they may be vigilantes --
REAGAN: Well, they're somebody's base.
WEBER: They're not the Republican base.
REAGAN: I'm not so sure about that, Vin.
MATTHEWS: OK, the irregular Republicans want to send Minutemen.

Algebra 2 word problem
posted by Paige .
just checking to see if i have this problem correct
Sammy can cut wood twice as fast as Joe. When they both work together, it takes them 4 hrs. how long would it take them to do the job alone?
4/x +4/x+2 = x^2+2
4x+4x+8= x^2+2
8x+8= x^2+2
x=4 x=-2 since i can't use a -2 i have to put in a 4
Sammy =6 hours
Joe = 12 hours
Joe's rate ---- 1/2x
Sammy's rate --- 1/x
combined rate = 1/x + 1/2x = 3/(2x)
time to do job with combined rate = 1/(3/(2x)) = 2x/3
but we know that is 4 hrs
2x/3 = 4
x = 6 and then 2x = 12
So Sammy could do it 6 hours
and Joe would take 12 hours.
BTW, I won't even begin to point out all the errors in your solution.
Your opening equation makes no sense, and has no relation to the question.
the 2nd line does not follow from the 1st line
your "solution" of x=4 does not even satisfy your opening equation , as it should.
It looks like you knew what the answer was supposed to be, and simply formed some expression that contain that answer.

Born to Study the Bronx
Here's a way to get to know your city: Ask the borough historian. All this summer, we've been catching up with the five men in charge of preserving and studying New York neighborhoods. This week, WNYC's Kathleen Horan takes us to the Bronx.
Bronx historian Lloyd Ultan says he basically came out of the womb wondering about the past. "Even as a toddler, I was always asking what happened before I was born, and when I was old enough to get a library card from the New York Public Library, the first book I ever took out was a history book!"
In the time since he checked out his first book, he's written nine of his own about the Bronx. He's surrounded by them sitting at his desk at the Bronx Historical Society. He looks formal in his white buttoned-down shirt and tie. The-72-year-old's most distinctive feature is his wild grey eyebrows hovering over his glasses. They raise higher when he considers all the information New Yorkers have yet to learn:
"Most people don't know that the statue of Lincoln and the Lincoln memorial was actually sculpted in the Bronx by Italian immigrants who assembled it in place in Washington, D.C."
"Most people don't know the American bison, the buffalo, was saved from extinction in the Bronx in the zoo."
"Most people don't know that puffed wheat and puffed rice were developed in the Bronx in the New York Botanical Garden..."
It appears that Ultan could keep reciting this list without the help of notes...for hours. When he does have the occasional question, he simply walks down the creaky halls of the office and starts digging.
He says he's found there are still too many people with misconceptions about his borough. "They think that the Bronx is filled with people who live a very feral life, they're ready to pounce on any unwary person and bop 'em on the head and rob them and make all sorts of mayhem. This is, of course, a complete canard that has been perpetuated ever since 1977, when Jimmy Carter walked the plains of Charlotte Street and there were block after block of rubble."
Ultan teaches at Lehman College and Fairleigh Dickinson University in addition to performing his duties as the official borough historian.
Former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer says that he's never met anyone with Lloyd's grasp and appreciation of Bronx history, which is why he didn't consider anyone else for the job when he appointed him. That was 14 years ago (Ultan has been reappointed twice), making him the longest serving borough historian of the pack.
Ultan continues to publish -- but he doesn't use the Internet for research. "My problem is that the state of the Internet hasn't reached the stage I want it to," he says.
Neither has cell phone technology or email...although he's made an exception to answer listener questions online this week.

The state where I now live, Virginia, has its presidential primary on Tuesday, joining nine other states in a delegate extravaganza that constitutes Super Tuesday. As I've complained earlier, the only candidates to get their act together so as to come up with enough names on petitions to get on the ballot here in the state that has provided more presidents than any other are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.
Now I wasn't going to vote at all, since, as I have also complained, the state Republican party was going to try to keep Democrats from voting in this open primary by requiring a loyalty oath, making voters promise to cast their ballot for the Republican nominee in the general election no matter what. I oppose that on principle. But, I'm happy to report, the loyalty oath will not be required after all. So I feel my patriotic duty to cast my vote.
But for whom? Another of my numerous complaints has been with the Republican field as a whole. I'm uncertain anyway, but now I only have two choices. Write-ins are forbidden by law and will not be counted. So should I vote for Romney or Paul? The Mormon or the Libertarian? Which is the lesser of two evils or the greater of two goods?
I am very much open to persuasion and I will take your recommendations very seriously. Who knows? A number of these primary elections have been ridiculously close, and my vote may tip the balance to one candidate or another, which in turn may have national implications!
So who shall it be? Mitt Romney or Ron Paul?

One of the best parts of a good video game is the quality of the graphics. Unfortunately, older devices simply arent as capable as newer devices are at rendering graphics beautifully.
On the iOS platform, Infinity Blade is one of the App Stores top hit games, and it's pretty graphics-intensive. Whether youre playing Infinity Blade I, II, or III, you might notice that the game runs sluggishly on older devices. With a new free jailbreak tweak called IB Graphics Selector by iOS developer PoomSmart, you can have more control over how Infinity Blade runs on certain devices by changing the game's graphics settings depending on your device.
IB Graphics Selector adds a preferences pane to your Settings application where you can enable and disable the tweak on demand, and choose the device type that you want the graphics to run for:
IB Graphics Selector has graphics presets for:
- Default
- iPhone 3GS (non-retina)
- A4 iPad
- A5 iPad
- A5X iPad
- A6 iPad
- A7 iPad
Now just because the preset says "A7," this doesn't mean that you have to have an A7 chip to run the graphics in this preset mode. In fact, the developer notes that even if you have an A5 device, you can select this option to run Infinity Blade 3 at 60+ frames per second (FPS).
With these presets, you can have more manual control between quality and performance when playing Infinity Blade I, II, or III on whatever device you may be using.
If you want to give IB Graphics Selector a try, you can grab it for free from Cydia's BigBoss repository. You can only use this tweak with Infinity Blade games, as the tweak is not intended for any other game that runs on iOS.
Name: IB Graphics Selector
Price: FREE
Version: 1.0-1
Requirements: Infinity Blade I, II, or III must be installed
Repo: BigBoss
Developer: PoomSmart

Workplace screening of mine employees using the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) and alcohol breathalyzation
Lennings, Christopher J., Feeney, Gerald F., Sheehan, Mary C., Young, Ross McD., McPherson, Annie, & Tucker, Jane (1997) Workplace screening of mine employees using the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) and alcohol breathalyzation. Drug and Alcohol Review, 16(4), pp. 357-363.
Although public health campaigns focussing on alcohol use in the workplace are gaining increased publicity little evidence on the use of screening in the workplace. In this studying 152 mining personnel completed an alcohol screening test (the AUDIT). 133 of those that completed the AUDIT consented to a breathalyser test. The study found substantial evidence of hazardous alcohol use amongst participants, especially among younger males.

Trojans Score Twice In Ninth For 2-1 Comeback Win Over Cal
April 6, 2012
LOS ANGELES - The USC baseball team mounted a two-run comeback in the ninth inning to defeat Cal 2-1 after Andrew Triggs allowed just one run while striking out eight in a complete game effort Friday night at Dedeaux Field. The Trojans improve to 18-10 (4-6) while the Bears fall to 17-11 (2-6).
It was a pitcher's duel form the start as each team's starter was sharp and effective.
Triggs (3-3) retired the Bears in order to start the game striking out Mitch Delfino and Tony Renda.
Cruising until the fourth inning, Triggs found himself in a tight spot with runners on the corners but managed to fan Chad Bunting to get out of the jam and keep the game scoreless.
USC's first hit of the game didn't come until the fifth inning when Matt Foat ended Matt Flemer's no-hit bid with a double to right field. The Trojans weren't able to convert the run and the game remained scoreless.
The Bears struck first when Vince Bruno scored from third on a sac-fly to center by Chadd Krist in the sixth to go up 1-0.
USC had their chance in the sixth when Alex Sherrod doubled off the right field wall to start the inning. The Trojans would load the bases but Flemer was able to get Foat to pop out to short and caught Dante Flores on strikes to preserve the lead.
As the offense sputtered for the next two innings, Triggs kept USC in the game and finished with authority retiring the Bears in order in the ninth to give Trojans one more shot in the bottom of the frame.
Foat led off the inning with a rocket up the middle off Logan Scott (0-1) to get the Trojans rolling. Omar Cotto Lozada entered to run for Foat and bring some speed to the base paths. Flores laid down a sac-bunt to move Cotto to second putting the tying run in scoring position. Kevin Swick was then hit by a pitch and the winning run was aboard. Brandon Garcia advanced Cotto to third with a fly out to center and Swick then stole second base. Garret Houts entered to run for Swick and the table was set for James Roberts with runners on second and third. With the game on his shoulders, Roberts grounded though the left side to score Cotto and a hustling Houts who beat the throw to the plate to seal the comeback win for the Trojans.
Sean Spear and Foat both had two hits for the USC while Roberts supplied the two RBI's.
The Trojans return to action tomorrow at 1 p.m. in the rubber match of the series with Cal at Dedeaux Field.
