Shumlin calls for expert to improve Vermont Yankee oversight

(Host) A second water leak at Vermont Yankee has renewed calls for additional oversight of the plant.
Senate President Peter Shumlin wants the Legislature to hire its own expert to make sure plant operators improve maintenance and inspection procedures.
VPR's John Dillon reports:
(Dillon) Last week, water from the Connecticut River was discovered leaking into Yankee's condenser. That's the component that uses a massive piping system to cool steam from the turbine.
Then this week, another water line sprang a leak. This section of pipe is near the intake that brings river water to the plant.
Neither system is leaking radiation into the environment. But Senate President Peter Shumlin - who represents Windham County - says the problems show the need for a new layer of oversight.
(Shumlin) This week's service water leak is really a big deal. It shows a programmatic breakdown in the inspection program at VY and we should all be concerned about that.
(Dillon) Shumlin wants nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen, to work three days a month on Vermont Yankee issues. Gundersen was a member of a public oversight panel that reviewed an audit of the plant's reliability. Shumlin says Gundersen predicted earlier problems at the plant - including the collapse of the cooling towers.
Shumlin said the Legislature needs Gundersen's expertise as it prepares to vote on whether the plant should operate for another 20 years.
(Shumlin) It's my judgment that the Douglas Administration and the governor has lost their objectivity when it comes to Entergy Louisiana. Clearly, as evidenced by the vetoes, they will stand up for Entergy Louisiana stockholders at the expense of Vermont ratepayers and Vermont voters. So the Legislature needs to play an objective and very aggressive role in ensuring that all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed.
(Dillon) The state Department of Public Service is already working with Yankee on a number of reliability issues. And spokesman Steve Wark says if the Legislature needs additional oversight, the department will help.
(Wark) The department has been and will continue to be actively involved in the monitoring and oversight of Vermont Yankee. If the Legislature deems that this is necessary, we're going to work with the Legislature to get them what they need.
(Dillon) Gundersen says the latest leak at Yankee points to a continuing weakness in the plant's inspection program.
(Gundersen) And that's been the problem. Vermont Yankee's towers were inspection-related, the tower failure. And the fire in the transformer was inspection-related. And this is another inspection-related problem. And it seems to me that all the words in the world are not going to make the pipe any stronger. You actually have to get in there and do it. And that doesn't seem to be happening.
(Dillon) Yankee officials are not in favor of the Gundersen's new role. They have said the appointment is unwarranted.

The Censorship Fairness Doctrine has been something near and dear to the hearts of the far left for a long time. With talk radio and the web being the main pillars of the center-right media landscape, effectively neutralizing conservative radio is a fantasy scenario for Bill Moyers and others like him.
That being said, it is becoming more likely that instead of going the congressional route to squelch conservative radio speech, the incoming Obama administration will try an alternate approach through regulatory bodies and the bureaucracy.
Conn Carroll explains:
Obama is too smart to bring back the 'Fairness Doctrine'. You are absolutely not going to see any movement in Congress to pass legislation forcing the FCC to revive the same rule it abandoned in 1987. But as the Center for American Progress points out, Congress does not need to pass any new legislation: "The public obligations inherent in the Fairness Doctrine are still in existence and operative, at least on paper."
Instead you will see a regulatory push at the FCC to intimidate conservative radio stations by shortening their licensing requirements from every eight, to every three years, and forcing them to meet stepped up "public interest" requirements. This new standard would be just as vague and ripe for abuse as the old Fairness Doctrine ever was. [...]
And the way Obama will porbably go about it, bypassing Congress and using a bureacratic out of touch regulatory body, is exactly the route the Obama administration is probably going to take on cap and trade as well.

Rewrite it as

I graphicsl or iterative solution may be necessary, since this is a cubic equation. I suspect that the roots are very close to 1.5 and 1.0
you helped me with this chem ques and you got close to 1 how did u get it please help me?You end up with a cubic equation for x. You may have to solve it graphically. Take the root that is between 0 and 1.
As x -> 1, the term on the left approaches

2/(1-x)^2 = 2.27*10^11
(1-x) = 3*10^-6
x = 0.999997
You are left with 0.500003 moles O2 and
10^-5 moles CO (the limiting reactant). 1.99999 moles of CO2 are formed
This reaction will, however, be very slow at room temperature. The reaction does not proceed kinetically as written, and requires some O or OH as a chain carrier.

Good bye my sweet boy
Well it's been 4weeks as of today and I'm writing this with tears running down my face but I'm hoping writing about this will some how help me, it started on Monday evening Niko was laying outside in his house (he loved his dog house) I opened the door and asked if he was ready for supper he got up and whined and layed back down so I stepped outside(his house was right at our kit cake door) and tried to coax him out but he couldn't step out, I called my husband and he came home from work bout 40 minuits ( I sat there freezing with him the whole time) we rushed him to the vet, once in there he was able to step out of his house ( vet said because of his adrenaline blocking his pain) she diagnosed him with a pinched nerve in his back and sent us home with pain meds and antiamflamitory. He wouldn't eat supper but did eat a couple chicken necks and went and layed on his bed in the living room, as the night went on he started crying in pain and couldn't move hias back legs but we figured the meds just needed to kick in, we'll at about 12:30am we just couldn't take him crying anymore so we rushed him to the er vet (30 minuits)soon as we got there they gave him pain meds and took e-rays that showed a slipped disc in his back that was pushing on his spine ( paralyzing his back legs) to do surgery would have given him a 50/50 chance that he would recover so we made the most difficult decision to let. Him go because he was in so much pain. My husband and I didn't leave his side the whole time and I was hugging him as he left us. It's been 4 weeks and I still can't go a day without crying, I just wish I could hug and kiss his nose one more time but can't.

That came as a surprise to most anyone following the team because Lewis hadn't even secured the starting cornerback job opposite Ike Taylor.
William Gay had just left via free agency, and the "smart money" was on second-year corner Cortez Allen to wrest his old job from the fourth-year vet Lewis.
But the coaches never really gave Allen a chance to win the left cornerback position. It was all Lewis all the time throughout training camp, even though he endured a painful shoulder injury.
Lewis was the starter and Allen was the nickel back, and that's the way it has stayed through 10 games.
The result: The Steelers have the top-ranked defense in the NFL, on the strength of the top-ranked pass defense, on the strength of the top-ranked cornerback in passes defensed, Keenan Lewis.
How about some Pro Bowl talk now?
"I don't want to talk about the Pro Bowl," said Lewis. "I'm just trying to play my game and stay humble."
Lewis has little reason to be humble after his play of late. He's broken up 12 passes in the last five games, the games following a narrow loss at Tennessee that would've been averted had Lewis held on to an interception on the Titans' game-tying drive.
"The Tennessee game, he didn't play bad," said Steelers free safety Ryan Clark."But he had a play he felt hurt the team, when he didn't catch the ball. Ever since then he's taken it upon himself to do things to help us win games. It's become really important to him and it's showing on the field."
Clark said that Lewis and Taylor are, "if you take them as a pair, playing better than any two corners in the league."
Lewis's rise has coincided with Taylor's rejuvenation as the team's shutdown corner. Taylor, for instance, in the Baltimore game, was assigned the task of taking speedster Torrey Smith out of the Ravens' passing game. And he often had safety help over the top.
So QB Joe Flacco picked on Lewis, who allowed Anquan Boldin and Jacoby Jones to catch 8 of the passes thrown at him, but for only 62 yards. Pro Football Focus determined that Lewis gave up only 9 of those 62 yards after the catch.
Lewis is fast, physical and finally playing with confidence.
"He's doing an amazing job," Clark said. "He's really starting to take just every play personal. He's challenging guys, anybody he's facing. He's going out there with confidence."
Clark was asked to pinpoint one play by Lewis that stands out, and what came to mind was the first snap of the win three Sundays ago in New York.
"The way we started the Giants game," Clark said. "Eli (Manning) takes a shot down the middle of the field and Keenan's one-on-one with Hakeem Nicks, a guy we know can go up and get the ball. He makes that play early. If he doesn't make that it changes the course of the game, it changes the way the game flows. He started us off on the right track there and that's a play that kind of stands out to me. But he's made tons of plays all year."
Lewis hasn't completely overcome his shoulder issue, but says "Everyone's sore at this point in the season, so now I'm on an even playing field."
He attributes advice from Taylor for keeping his body strong as the season has wore on. Taylor advised Lewis to force himself to get out of bed Monday mornings after games to lift weights.
"The last couple of years I was like, 'Nah, I'm tore up on Monday. I ain't lifting no weight,'" Lewis said. "But this year it's helping. It's been playing a big role in me staying healthy and strong out there. I take my tips from him."
If Lewis keeps learning from Taylor, he – both of them – might just make a wild spring prediction come true.

Five tips for making your family's balancing act more manageable during the school year.
If you're like me, the beginning of the summer is spent planning how your child's fall schedule will look. If we wait until the very last minute, the dance and gymnastics classes will fill up, the good Little League coach's team will be complete, and the carpools will have already been organized - without us in them. So unless you have taken care of all these things in the spring (and if you have, I envy you!), at least part of the summer is spent planning for the fall. Which brings me to my next thought...how much organized activity is necessary and healthy for kids?
It is definitely important to encourage extra-curricular activities. Too much downtime is inevitably spent watching TV, playing on the computer, and bickering with siblings. In addition, it is important for kids to learn how to balance mandatory activities like homework, chores, religious education, and tooth brushing with elective, fun activities. It is also critical for kids to work on the skill of follow-through. Kids and teens should be exposed to new experiences in order to broaden their horizons. When they learn multiple sports, try different instruments, play in a chess club, they learn that one can stretch both body and brain - and perhaps find a true passion.
While creating a fall schedule for your child that encourages extracurricular exploration, it is also important to keep in mind that for all children, there is a fine line between enough activity and too much. If you follow the five steps below you can be confident that you will strike exactly the right balance:
1. Your child should have only one regular after-school activity on a given day (this includes mandatory activities like religious education). On a weekend day, it's okay to have one mandatory activity (like religious school) and one fun activity (like soccer practice), as long as your child is happy about it.
2. The majority of elementary school age children or younger should not be formally committed to an activity more than two weekdays and one weekend day per week. Even kids who want to participate in an organized activity more often should be discouraged. They don't realize that they are likely to 'burn out' physically and emotionally. It is the rare child will become professional or go to the Olympics!
3. Most kids can use one weekday off from any formal activities - usually Friday is a good day for this - so they have time to play with friends.
4. Younger kids should have activities scheduled right after school, so they aren't tired and already settled in at home.
5. Once signed up for an activity, a child should be strongly encouraged not to miss a practice or session. It is important for kids to learn that they have a commitment to a team, that follow-through is important, and that activities cost money. Therefore, except for truly extenuating circumstances, complaining queries of "I'm tired; can I skip this week?" or "I don't like this; can I quit?" should be met with, "You need to stick it out until the end of the semester, and then we can reconsider."

2013 Men's Soccer Outlook
2014 Rider University Men's Soccer Outlook
With the return of 20 letterwinners, including all but two starters, from the team that won the most games in 13 years, the 2014 Rider University men's soccer team is looking to improve on its 2013 record and qualify for the six-team Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship tournament.
"That's our goal," said head coach Charlie Inverso, now in his fourth year at Rider. "We'd like to beat last year's record and get into the playoffs. Those are our goals for the season and I think we can accomplish both of them. With just four seniors we are still relatively young."
The squad returns a First Team All-MAAC selection, a Second Team All-MAAC pick and a pair of MAAC All-Rookie team members from the team that was 8-9-1 overall, including six wins at home.
Heading the list of returnees are sophomore midfielder Christian Flath, junior defender Sonimi Halliday and sophomore defender Warren Holmes.
A Preseason All-MAAC selection this year, Flath was a First Team All-MAAC pick last year as well as the MAAC Rookie of the Year. Flath ranked second in the MAAC in assists and third in points and led Rider in goals.
Halliday ranked fourth in the MAAC in game-winning goals last year to earn Second Team All-MAAC honors.
Holmes started 17 games last year as a freshman and was third on the team in goals and points.
Other key returnees include senior captain Ryan Walsh, sophomore midfielder Adrien Huss, junior forward Justin Veltri, senior forward Jude Bischoff and sophomore back Rob Nardiello. Walsh and Nardiello each started every game last season, while Huss missed almost half of the season with an injury after earning MAAC Rookie of the Week honors the first week of his collegiate career.
One of the strongest areas on the team will be in goal, where sophomores David Pastuna and Jimmy Quilter return and are joined by Rutgers transfer Ryan Baird.
Quilter started the first three games of last season before an injury sidelined him for all but one more game. In his absence, Pastuna won six games, three by shutout and made 65 saves. "The starting job is wide open," Inverso said. "We feel real good about both of them. Quilter and Pastuna work really hard and bring it every day. Dave might have a slight advantage because of all of the playing time he had last year."
Baird was the Scarlet Knight back-up when Rutgers went to the Sweet 16 (2012) and was a medical red-shirt last year. "We recruited him out of high school," Inverso said of Baird. "He is also very good if he's healthy."
At the other end of the field Rider returns all of its goal scorers from last year and has added Florian Valot of France, Jose Morinigo of Spain and Adil Iich of Sweden. "The addition of these players gives us the flexibility to use different guys in different roles on the field," Inverso said. "Florian can play any one of the attacking positions. Walsh, Veltri and Bischoff also return up front in the center. One of the problems we had last year was scoring from the run of play. We've been working on that area and we feel better about that."
The defense lost Academic All-American Eric Elgin to graduation. "The loss of Elgin is a big one," Inverso said. "Not just his play on the field but his presence. But there are other guys who have learned the leadership roles."
In the back Holmes, senior Justin Gregory, Nardiello, sophomore Matt Fryc, sophomore Aaron Freeman and Halliday will be heading the defense.
"We are physically stronger this year," Inverso said. "Everybody came in in good shape. We have more depth this year. We have a great nucleus of guys who get along. It is a great environment. We're optimistic. The culture on the team is very positive. We have a good group of guys. The chemistry on this team is great and I think it will help us wins some games. Everybody is buying into what we are trying to do."
Rider won six home games last year, but this year the first three contests are on the road. "The positive is that there is something special about winning a game on the road," Inverso said. "It tells a lot about your character, your mettle. When you go on the road and come home with a win, that is how team bonding is formed."
In their first year in the MAAC Monmouth and Quinnipiac tied for first place in the final standings. "Monmouth and Quinnipiac should again be two of the top teams in the MAAC," Inverso said. "Iona and Fairfield should be in the mix as well. And you have to respect what Manhattan and Siena have done, as far as improving. But there is parity in the MAAC. I think anybody can beat anybody on any given day."

In 2009, College of the Ozarks began the Patriotic Education Travel Program, designed to provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences for students and veterans from World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The program pairs College of the Ozarks students with the veterans, taking them back to the battlefields where they fought. This program honors veterans and helps educate the younger generation, instilling an appreciation for the sacrifices of American soldiers.
The College recognizes these trips as a powerful opportunity to reinforce one of the five goals of the College: patriotic education. The rich educational journey provides a life-changing experience for College of the Ozarks students, who not only learn volumes of history from the firsthand participants but grow to love and appreciate them as well. Participating students return with renewed respect for veterans and a dramatically increased love for their country.
Travel destinations have included England, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Germany to visit sites from D-Day, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, and Berlin, as well as Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, Hiroshima, Iwo Jima, and Tokyo, the Philippines, Guadalcanal, and the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Theatre. A special Holocaust trip took students, veterans, and Holocaust survivors to Germany, Poland, Austria, the Slovak Republic, and the Czech Republic. Other trips include China, focusing on the Cold War; Korea; and, most recently, Vietnam.
Students are selected from a pool of applicants who submit essays describing their desire to learn from the veterans. The highly competitive process has produced student-veteran pairings who share not only experiences, but more importantly, a bond between two very different generations that is cherished by both.
The Patriotic Education Travel Program is funded completely by College of the Ozarks and generous donors, allowing students and veterans to travel at no personal cost. For more information about participation or support of the Patriotic Education Travel Program, please contact the Character Education Office at (417) 690-2242.
A special orientation prior to the beginning of each semester called Character Camp introduces all new students to character development and how vital it is to their success at College of the Ozarks and after college. Two upperclassmen serve as "Mom and Pop" to each small group of incoming students. They spend ten days with their "family" teaching them about the expectations of the College, locating buildings, how to use services on-campus, and visiting their work stations.
In 1987, Sir John Templeton initiated the Laws of Life Essay Contest in his hometown of Winchester, Tennessee. Through the contest, students are encouraged to search deep within themselves and write about their own "laws of life." Organizations concerned with the moral ideals of youth may sponsor a contest, and College of the Ozarks is proud to do so. Each semester, entering freshmen participate in the contest during Character Camp. The student authors of the winning essays receive book scholarships from the College and the John Templeton Foundation.
As an enrichment of the classroom experience, students have the opportunity to study in other cultures. They can experience first-hand how good citizenship impacts our world. The program aims to provide students with an awareness of the world while fostering an appreciation of America and what it represents.
It was the philanthropic desire of the late H.N. and Frances C. Berger to help young men and women, and the foundation continues to operate under this philosophy, as evidenced through its generous contribution to the Citizens Abroad Program. The goal is to give as many students as possible the opportunity to have a travel abroad experience. Recent trips abroad have included Rwanda, London and Oxford, Spain, China, France, and The Netherlands.

Rosemary has been berating herself for being forgetful. Yesterday she left her house without a letter, which was why she had left the house. To post it. But why berate herself? She is quite normal. In my bath I forget which bits of myself I have washed. Sometimes I wash them again, in case. Sometimes I don't wash them at all. At least Rosemary has a strict routine and always washes everything in the same order. Which is admirable, but being over 70, she, like everyone else, blames her age.
Rubbish. Age is nothing to do with it. I blame the news. Every day a new horror. This week the massacre by a deranged gunman in Cumbria, much too close to my cousin's home. Was she safe indoors? Yes. I rang to check. Last week it was possible body parts in a river and America is still drowning in oil. Our minds must be completely stuffed with terrifying thoughts: of sudden death on a sunny day, poor, dead women and seas and countries clogged in never-ending brown grease. There's no room for remembering letters and which bit you've washed. And then along came the Flotilla. And Israel.
As most of the world thinks Israeli equals Jewish, and the Jews weren't wildly popular to start with, this really doesn't do the rest of us much good. We were already having rows about who is and isn't self-hating. Meanwhile Gaza is going to hell in a handcart, the Turks are furious, and I'm imagining the worst. Are we on the brink of World War Three? I always thought it would start in the Middle East. And how soon will the oil slick take to cross the Atlantic and come oozing up the Channel?
"I can't be fiddled with all that," says Rosemary, ruining my theory. I think the world is doomed; she thinks it will see us out. And so she worries about smaller things, such as the slugs that turn up in her kitchen. "They come indoors after 11, while I'm in my bath. Isn't that odd? Then I accidentally squelch them while I'm getting my bedtime drink. And I worry about whether I'm forgetting things."
"You told me that." "Did I?"

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
I was at the local bookstore the other day, and remembered something most people probably hate:
Now, I know the importance of reading... but that's pretty pricey!
After all... what do you do with a book when you're done? Maybe you resell it, pack it up somewhere, or place it on your bookshelf as decoration.
That's a LOT of money for something most people will only "use" once!
But there's a ton of books out there that everyone simply MUST read! The classics, the greats, the ones that even in 200 years everyone will still be talking about.
Even better: what if I just showed you?
I can't show them all here - because there's 3000 of them!
It's UNBELIEVABLE!
It's got EVERYTHING! From the classic Greek epics to those written by our Founding Fathers: this is like a flash drive filled with treasure!
That's LESS than one hardcover book! And WAY less than 3000 $1 books! It's not even a competition!
Here's a SMALL peak at what's inside!
|A Tale of Two Cities
|The Adventures of Huck Finn
|Pride and Prejudice
|Sherlock Holmes
|Moby Dick
|The War of the Worlds
|The Iliad
|The Complete Works of Shakespeare
|War and Peace
That's 9 down... only 2991 to go!
Tons of Options - Make It Look How YOU Want!
You don't just get awesome books. You get a complete reading utility that lets you control how you read them!
And now that you're reading text that looks EXACTLY how you want it: you can bookmark pages too!
This is one PERSONALIZED experience!
Finding Your Favorites Is EASY!
Unless you're REALLY dilligent, a regular bookshelf eventually always ends up being a GIGANTIC mess!
All those books placed somewhere with no rhyme or reason. Trying to find the book you want shouldn't be a 15 minute endeavor!
There's even a side-bar where you can go through authors alphabetically! YES!!
So you've got a small library worth of classics, the easiest software to use 'em with... and TONS of cash still in your pocket because it's only $26.97!
You'd be crazier than Crazy Bob not to grab this deal... and they call him "CRAZY Bob!" (that's pretty crazy.)

PA WRX cruise
All scooby owners, i am looking to do a Subaru cruise. Now before setting a date and figuring out the rest of the details such as roads and highways, i wanna see how many people would be up for it. If enough people are in for the cruise than a date will be chosen. Tell me what you guys think.
I'd be up for it depending what part of PA it is in and what month it is in.
I can give it a whirl, it doens't really matter where in PA just so long as it is on a weekend. Keep us up to date.
Later, Keith
I may be up for it depending on when and where.
Im down as long as its on a weekend. Anywhere is ok.
PA cruise

Yep, another wrx available on a weekend. how about a d.d stop for coffee and doughnuts somewhere. chester,mongomery or burkes co. prefered :D

Ok guys, im convinced that it should be on a weekend, so we'll do it on a weekend. I am thinking definately spring because some decent weather is needed. Early spring or late spring im not sure about yet, it will alll depend on the weather. I will keep everybody updated though, so check back every now and then for new updates. As for a meeting spot, id like to get some more comments and come up with a middle point so we can make it as less of an inconvenience for everybody as we can. As for the d.d stop... im down.

Possibly. My girlfriend is in the process of buying a Forester XT right now, so we might be in that. Have to wait and see. She can't drive a MT, so we don't want to be up there with a car only one of us can drive. If I teach her before then I might bring mine.

How to Keep Your Name and Photo Out of Facebook's Social Ads
Facebook has rolled out its Social Ads feature, which allows your name and profile photo to be used in advertisements targeted at your friends, and vice versa. The company says that this is a way to make ads more relevant and interesting to you. While you won't see your face on a national campaign (since the Social Ads can only be seen by your friends), it's still kinda creepy. Here, I'll tell you how to opt out of these targeted Social Ads and keep your name and face private.

Not convinced the ladies are cut out to use tools? Well then talk to this one – she's been at it since 1942.
Elinor Otto is a 93-year old assembly worker at the Boeing plant in Long Beach, Calif. She got her start in 1942 as one of the original Rosie the Riveters, women who went to work in defense plants during WWII because most of the country's able-bodied men were in the military.
At the end of the war she was laid off (like most of the other women who worked in defense plants). For a time she worked at other jobs, including office work, which she hated. As soon as the opportunity arose she went back to building planes, working for Ryan Aeronautical, Douglas, McDonald Douglas, and now Boeing.
When I first heard about Elinor I was prepared to feel sorry for her working so long past normal retirement age. But having seen her in the video below and read about her in an article from the LA Times I kind of envy her for getting to spend 70 years doing something she enjoys and is good at.

Billy Vernon Carpenter
A funeral service is scheduled for 11 a.m., Tuesday, June 12, 2012, at Tabernacle Baptist Church for Billy Vernon Carpenter, 82, who passed away Thursday, June 7, 2012, surrounded by the love of his family. The Rev. Jerry Beaver of Tabernacle Baptist Church will be officiating with the Rev. Onsy Whicker assisting. Burial will follow in South Park Cemetery. A viewing will be held on Monday, June 11, 2012, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at Tabernacle Baptist Church.
Billy Vernon Carpenter was born in Paducah, Texas, on July 30, 1929, to Chester and Lorene (Barton) Carpenter, and was one of nine children.
He served in the Navy for a short time beginning in 1946 and then joined the Army in 1954. He began his law enforcement career in 1952 with the Amarillo Police Department. In 1956, he joined the Roswell Police Department and then in 1960, the Artesia Police Department. In 1968, he was appointed chief of police in Artesia. In 1970, he returned to Roswell and the Roswell Police Department. Then in 1973, he began working for the [auth] Chaves County Sheriff's Department, where he worked with his brother Leroy Carpenter. He was elected sheriff of Chaves County in 1979 and served two terms. He was instrumental in establishing the first set of jail standards through the New Mexico Legislature. In 1983, he was elected magistrate judge and served one term. Then he was elected magistrate judge in 1991, and served two terms. He retired in 1998 after his third term as magistrate judge.
In 1954, he married Nona Lorraine Graves in Roswell, who survives him at the family residence. He is also survived by his four children, Dennis Dees (Debbie), of Lubbock, Eddy Carpenter (Laura), Kimberly Webb (Tim), and Allyson McClain (Jim), all of Roswell. His grandchildren are Sonya LoCascio (Jason), Cheryl Sanford (Rion), of Lubbock, Brandy Carpenter of California, Billie Dewey (Roy), of Artesia, Eddy Mac Carpenter (Jodie), of Colorado Springs, Colo., Blake Carpenter (Joann), of Denver City, Texas, Ashley Lucero (Adrian), Michael McClain (Cassie) and Hobie McClain, Cody Carpenter, Nigel Carpenter and Tony Carpenter, all of Roswell; numerous great-grandchildren; his brother C.A. Carpenter (Janice), of Hobbs; his sisters, Savannah Derrick, of Artesia, Bonnie Derrick (Verl), Idell Burnett (Paul), of Titusville, Pa., and Day Hodge, of Carlsbad; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Billy was preceded in death by his parents; and his brothers, Leroy, Elwood and Dan.
Billy was a faithful member of Tabernacle Baptist Church. He served in many ministries at the church including janitorial, the bus ministry, Sunday school teacher, Board of Trustees. He cooked the Men's Prayer Breakfast for many years, and sang in the choir. He and Nona ran the concession stand for youth camp for several years, and worked diligently wherever needed. He also assisted the church treasurer and the church clerk at every service.
His favorite scripture was Isaiah 12:2, "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also has become my salvation."
Billy was an avid fisherman and went fishing whenever possible with his fishing buddies. There were always "fish" tales when they got home about the big one that got away. One of his favorite sayings was, "If a story is worth telling, it's worth enhancing." He loved going deer hunting when he could. His favorite pastime was spending time with his family. No one could make him smile like his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank Bill Davis, Doil McCreary, Tom Moody, Merle Reynolds and Mel Young for their support and assistance. We would also like to thank Vista Care Hospice for their wonderful care of our father. We are truly thankful for the staff at Lovelace Regional Hospital and Dr. Badine, Dr. Scally and Dr. Jewell.
Those to serve as pallbearers will be the Chaves County Sheriffs' Honor Guard and honorary pallbearers will be Doil McCreary, Bill Davis, Merle Reynolds, Hawk Boardman, Tom Allen, Larry, Jerry, Perry and Preston McCreary and Don Jones.
The family requests that memorial contributions be made to Tabernacle Baptist Church Building Fund, 115 W. 11th St., Roswell, NM 88201.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory. An online registry can be accessed at ballardfuneralhome.com.

Week 2 and have some questions
15 Attachment(s)
So I've upgraded my lights to a dual light Nova Extreme T5HO unit and my plants look like they are getting worse. Can you guys verify for me or am I just alittle impatient. Thanks!
56G High
30" T5HO lights
Wet/Dry Filter
Florish 2X weekly
Which Flourish product(s) are you using?
Are you using any substrate fertilizers?
Any source of carbon?
Take off the damaged sword plant leaves. Those were grown in air and don't last long underwater. You are lucky not to see real crypt meltdowns. The leaves turn to goo which would be purple goo for yours. Bet much of this is plants transitioning to underwater life. Many plants we grow are actually plants that spend much of the year growing in air, not water and that is how the nursery grows them.
I believe the plant in picture #11, image 0190, may be planted to deep?

Family Found Car in Lake, Called for Help
Published June 16th, 2009
Loading Video...
A family of eight were on an afternoon driver when they spotted a car in Newnan's Lake.
They called 9-1-1 for help.
With the help of a boater, an Alachua County Sheriff's deputy found 52-year-old Anna Brown trapped inside the car.
The deputy pulled her out of the car. Joey Alston and his family watched the rescue.
Turns out, Alston and Brown grew up in the same neighborhood. The Alstons say they're glad they were able to help.

Lighting and glass covers
I am lighting a 55 gal with a Corallife 2 tube t5ho 48in fixture (6500k bulbs) for 11 hours a day. To keep the evaporation down am using glass covers. Does anyone know what effect the covers would have on the effectiveness of the lamps?
The glass will slightly reduce the amount of light that reaches the aquarium.
On another note, 11 hours is a bit long for a photoperiod; perhaps you can try reducing it to 8 hours?
Glass Cover Effects
The effect will be minimal, if at all, if you clean the canopy regularly. If not, the minerals in the water will build up on the glass and make it a bit hazy. I've noticed a build up on my tank canopy if I don't clean it weekly.
Thanks guys,
I will reduce the time the lights are on although the plants are going great. The glass covers that I am using have a black plastic hinge in the middle that I am sure does not help.
Don't worry too much about it though.
Just make sure the glass is cleaned regularly. Residue that builds and dries up will block a noticable amount of light.

Hello there, I am Dave Carter, Marketing Manager at Talk (www.talksense.com), and I just found this site and would like to put my head above the parapit and post a few general comments in light of the reviews here [better late than never]. If readers could just suspend the choruses of "he would say that wouldn't he", I would like to address a few of the comments made here in as helpful, objective and honest way as I can. Firstly, any Talk customers with queries, gripes or otherwise should contact our Customer Service team straight away. You won't be stuck in endless "hold" and "press one for this.." queues and we have knowledgable, fully trained advisors to help you. Secondly, everyone can save money with Talk, but it suits people with moderate to high phone bills best. As a guide, people spending £120 per quarter and above (inc. line rental) will benefit most from the service. If you only make the odd international call then Talk is probably not for you. At the last count, our customers were saving an average of 55% compared to BT standard rates - and many are saving significantly more. How much you will save depends on your call profile. Check out the rates on our website www.talksense.com The essence of Talk is that the product seemlessly uses multiple carriers to deliver the lowest call rates. This also means that if a network fails or is congested we can switch the call to another route with ease, I am not aware of any other residntial service that offers this. Cheap rates are worthless if you can't complete the call. Finally, in nearly all cases we don't set call rates, we track the lowest rates of the market leaders and match them. Yes we have a 3p routing charge on each call to run the service but this is levied per call and accounts for a very small percentage of the total phone bill. In our opinion Talk clearly remains the easiest and best
way to cut high residential phone bills. (I would say that wouldn't I) Thanks for reading.
I was one of their first customers - initially attracted by their innovative pricing - guranteed cheapest rates from a range of resellers - and no minimum call charge or setup charge. However the service has become more expensive as Talk have levied a 3p surcharge on all calls and also a £1 per month billing charge (£2 by credit card). Talksense provides an innovative service as it routes over the cheapest provider for every call. This gives the cheapest call costs from about 15 different providers. This has advantages over other Least Cost routers (such as Alpha Telecom and One.tel) if you ring different international destinations. However Talksense now levy a 3 pence surcharge to every call. This means short calls can be as expensive as BT's Standard tariff (Talk guarantee no call will be more expensive). Therefore short local and national calls can be more expensive than BT Together packages. The box is also quite expensive at £25 and there is a £1 per month surcharge. However it is worth noting that you can over-ride the box by using Carriers 1xxx codes. This is useful to guarentee connection where if the default carrier doesn't connect the call (alternative option to using BT). Talksense advise against this but you will still billed at the cheapest rates by them. Customer Services - generally knowledgeable and helpful. They are also fairly innovative adopters of email and internet based billing (you can view your bills online). However I have been overbilled a few times - calls have been tagged as "international mobile" and surcharged at 17 pence per minute. The credits for these calls have been slow in coming. Online bills are also only uploaded to their website after a few months and therefore are only useful as records. In summary I would recommend this if you make a lot of international calls to different countries or don't want to spend time shopping around to find the cheapest rates. Howe
ver the cost savings are less than they used to be (due to the 3p surcharge) _________________________________________________ MAY 2003 UPDATE I have now cancelled my account with Talksense as I am dialling internationally less often and hence my savings over BT are minimal, due to the routing charge of 3p meaning that UK calls are more expensive than other providers. Talksense have also implemented a 4p minimum call charge in addition to the routing charge. Some reviewers asked about call quality. Generally I have found this good internationally and since Talk "signs" you up to a range of Indirect Access providers you can always override the Talksense box routing by prefixing your call with an alternative 1xxx IDA number before the call. A list can be found on Oftel's website at http://www.oftel.gov.uk/ind_info/numbering/s10.xls . Note that Talksense only use a limited range of providers and therefore some experimentation with different is required to route the call. Therefore I would still recommend Talksense, but only if you spend more than £20 per month calling different international destinations. If you only call one destination, e.g. USA, you are better off shopping around for a provider who does not impose a minimum call or routing (setup) charges.
I was initially attracted by talks excellent rates for local & internatonal calls for BT customers. They supply you with a talk box which connects to the existing phone and you can make your calls as normal from the particular phone. The talk box works out at about £25 including p&p your calls are routed through the box & not charged by BT although you can still use 1471 & 141 but beware when you dial 141 before your call it would be going through BT & not Talk & therfore pay BT charges for the particular call as I found out. You recieve 2 bills one from BT for the line rental & one from Talk for the call charges plus £1 added each month to the call charges if you pay by direct debit the charge is slightly higher for credit cards, I'm sure these are the only 2 ways to make payment or cheapest ways I think. They've had a special offer for about 6 months(still there), which results in your talk unit being free all you have to do is spend £30 or more in one month on calls & they refund £10 that month & then once again when your call charges reach £10. But my own experience with Talk was a strange one although I was being charged less for all the calls I was making more of them which I did find out when I recieved the phone bill it was about twice as much as BT with me making international calls & local calls thinking I could talk for longer as it was cheaper & having friends around who wanted to make a "quick international call" as i'd bragged about how cheap my international calls were. I still thought i'd stick with them & try an be careful which was easier said then done but the final straw came when I made an international call from a phone not connected to my talk unit & recieved a hefty bill from BT for the call charges as the calls made from any other phone in the house not connected to the talk unit sends calls via BT (the talk unit only connects one phone.) So I could either
buy 2 talk units which I was'nt going to as only the first unit comes free or leave so thats what I did back to good old BT. Now when I want to make an international call I go out & buy a card I know it's a hassle but it's saved me alot of money, & for local calls BT rates arent that bad.
Talk... promises users call charges of up to 50% cheaper than BT by means of a 'magic box' which you plug between your telephone and existing BT socket. According to their literature, the Talk... box finds the lowest rate for every call you make. I signed up for a free box during a special offer, though normally they cost £25. After initial teething problems (making local calls), the system is fairly transparent. You can faintly hear the number you dial being redialled which puts around 3 seconds onto the connection time, but that is the only drawback. The bill you receive (supposedly monthly, though I have only had one since signing up in July) compares the Talk... charge to that which BT would have charged. And, if their comparisons are accurate, most calls turn out cheaper, in particular National and International. The one exception is (what a surprise) 0845 (ISP) numbers, which appear to have a negligible reduction at weekends only. Unless your ISP still provides geographical local connections, I would not recommend signing up purely to reduce your internet call charges. Another gripe is that as from 1st October 2000, Talk... have introduced a minimum call charge of 2p. One of the reasons I subscribed was that there was orignally no minimum call charge. With BT, every time you dial a local number and talk for just two seconds, you are still charged about 5p for the privilege. Initially with Talksense, such calls were costing me just 0.6 of a penny - saving nearly 5p for every "almost but not quite" dial-up connection to the internet. The new 2p charge nips this in the bud. However, it is still under half the price of the BT minimum charge. Another minor complaint is not being able to view my bill online at Talksense.com as suggested on the site and in their publicity. The website simply will not recognise my account details. E-mails to customer support on this matter have not produc
ed any replies. But you can't really lose. You have to spend at least the minimum charge of five pounds a month which would only be a restriction to the telepathic among us. And there is a certain pleasure to paying money to an enterprise other than BT for phone calls. Just don't expect 0845 numbers to be much cheaper and recklessly spend weekday hours online like I did... Oops!

Like its ailing economy, racing in Japan is slumping. The Japan Racing Association reported a third consecutive year of declines in 2000 in both on-track attendance and total handle. With government-sanctioned wagering on soccer set to begin in Japan this year, 2001 promises to be a major challenge for the JRA.Compared to American racing statistics, the numbers remain mind-boggling: average daily on-track attendance of 38,300 for the JRA's 288 days of racing, and average combined daily handle of 11.9 billion yen That converts to approximately $104 million each racing day, a figure that has been exceeded only one time in the United States, when $107 million was wagered on the 2000 Breeders' Cup program. The JRA was down 4.3% in average daily attendance from 1999, and average handle declined by 7.1%. Since 1997, when the JRA achieved all-time highs in the two key areas, daily average attendance has fallen by an aggregate 15.2% and wagering has dropped 14.5%.More worrisome to JRA president Masayuki Takahashi is the larger drop in business on major racing days. On all but one of the racing programs when a grade I race was run, declines in betting handle exceeded 10%. Handle on the popular year-end race, the Arima Kinen (Jpn-I), the JRA's biggest day of the year, was down 19.0% from 1999 and 27.2% from 1998.Barbara Bayer, Japan correspondent for The Blood-Horse, interviewed Takahashi for an article in the Japan Racing Journal, quoting him as saying the JRA's prime concern in the coming year will be the fans. "We plan to give the fans the best possible service we can," Takahashi said. He also stressed the importance of marketing the JRA's biggest races. "We look at these races because we believe this is where the newcomer to racing gets his or her start," he said. "A 'casual fan' will give it a go and place a bet because it's a big race. This is where the new blood comes from and these are the fans we want to cultivate."Takahashi said the JRA will market racing to areas of the country that have no racetracks or off-track wagering outlets. He is hoping potential fans in those areas will want to sign up for telephone wagering accounts or bet via computer on the JRA's Personal Access Terminal system. Also, Takahashi said, the JRA is planning a new wagering system using the Internet and wireless communications. The JRA marketing strategy, which in 2000 invited fans to vote for their favorite horses of the century, will shift. "This year we have 'Go JRA Jockey,' which will spotlight the riders, and will familiarize people with the jockeys and bring them closer to them," Takahashi said.Racing in Japan is also conducted on the local level at 30 tracks through the National Association of Racing, and it, too, suffered in comparison to previous years. Average daily attendance for the 2,283 racing days at NAR tracks was 4,203, a decline of 7.6% from 1999. Daily average wagering of 245 million yen ($2.1 million) was down 6.3%.

On this page we have some of the coolest purple girls bedroom ideas and cute, purple bedding sets for girls in their tweens and teens. Older teenage girls might find some decorating ideas here, but it's unlikely that adults decorating a master bedroom will find these funky photos appealing.
TEENAGE GIRLS DORM BEDROOM IDEASPreference in purple dorm bedding runs toward stripes. Yes, dear readers, collegiate stripes once limited to shades of boring blue have broadened their reach to include shades of purple.
Dorm mothers that purple bedrooms are "the" color of choice in the sorority house.
PURPLE MASTER BEDROOMSPurple master bedrooms rarely display the bright colors intended to electrify and stimulate that teenage girls virtually adore. Adults have moved beyond the mind blowing color palette of their youth to embrace subtle bedroom designs. Grownups lean toward a purple bedroom design that is calming rather than a calamity of pattern. Bright colors and bold prints are cheerful and very desirable for purple girls bedrooms. But this bouncy look is just not ideal for use in the creation of an oasis of peace where a couple can unwind at the end of the day.
PURPLE TODDLER BEDROOMSThe ideal color scheme for toddler girls' purple bedroom designs is pink and purple. This transitional design and other ideas for purple girls bedrooms may be instrumental in gradually weaning mom from her attachment to her purple baby bedding before moving onto bigger prints and bolder purple bedding sets for girls in zebra print bedding or comforters with bright floral fabrics with patterns in bright orange, teal and yellow.
By the time that most moms are ready to wave the white flag and surrender, the girl's off to the college dorm.
Please visit us again soon to find the latest in purple bedroom decorating ideas and tips on finding the best comforter sets for cheap prices.

KAI RYSSDAL: Think about this for a second as you consider the joys of the US Tax Code. Despite the up and down year that was Wall Street in 2007, mutual fund investors are going to be paying more in capital gains taxes tomorrow. How come? Investors see the market fall. They sell out of their funds to stop the bleeding, which is fine, but then they have to pay taxes on whatever gains they managed to hold onto.
The tax code hasn't gotten much attention in the presidential debate so far, but commentator and business historian John Steele Gordon says proposals to raise capital gains taxes might not be so smart.
JOHN STEELE GORDON: Both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have called for an increase in the capital gains tax rate. It's currently at 15 percent, and they'd like to see 20 or even 25 percent. Have they really thought this through? Consider four things.
First, the capital gains tax is usually thought of as a "rich man's tax." After all, only capitalists have capital gains, right? That was mostly true in the 1930s, when capital gains were first treated differently from other kinds of income. It's not true today, when over half of American households own financial securities. The vast majority of capital gains taxpayers today are solidly middle class. In 2005, 47 percent of households paying capital gains taxes had incomes below $50,000, and 79 percent, almost four out of five, had incomes under $100,000.
Second, both senators have said an increase in capital gains taxes would increase federal revenues, but when the tax was raised in 1986, from 20 to 28 percent, tax receipts went down, not up. People just stopped realizing capital gains. When Bill Clinton signed a reduction in the tax rate into law in 1997, however, receipts soared. They soared again after 2003, when the tax was further cut to 15 percent. Capital gains tax receipts actually doubled in the next three years.
Third, stock prices are determined by the market's best guess as to future earnings. If you raise the capital gains tax you inescapably lower the possible future earnings on all stocks. So what happens? The market goes down. A capital gains tax hike is a perfect way to cause a bear market, or make one worse.
Fourth, in a globalized economy, a capital gains tax increase would discourage investment in the US from abroad, where capital gains taxes are often lower.
Raising the capital gains tax is a classic example of what George Orwell called, "an idea so stupid only an intellectual could have conceived it."
RYSSDAL: Business historian John Steele Gordon's most recent book is called "An Empire of Wealth."


text: I have a 97 Eldorado, 72,000 miles. The car wouldn't start, took it a friend's Honda dealership. They couldn't find anything wrong and after recharging battery (which is 3 mos old) since I ran it down, it started up and ran for 2 weeks. The problem of no start again. The car turns but would not fire up. Towed it back, the Honda people cleared computer codes and it magically started, ran for 1 week and wouldn't start again. The message readout both times said "Service Fuel System". The first time they said maybe fuel pump was bad, but it checked out ok the first and second time at Honda. Now it wouldn't start again, same problem. I had it towed to Cadillac Dealer 40miles away, which I don't trust! They say the fuel pump IS bad. If the pump is electric, if it goes bad, doesn't it just quit? Or will it work off and on for periods of time? Can there be another reason gas isn't getting to engine? The Cadillac dealer here has such a bad reputation, but the other nearest one is 100 miles away. I feel stuck with them. Can they show me codes or something from my car diagnostic to verify the pump needs replacing. I hate to pay them $740.00 for something that's not broke! Thanks for any suggestions.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DisappointedSteamfitter from DISAPPOINTING I'm ashamed that I was sent a useless torpedo level.... I immediately checked the squareness which was fine but my main reason on purchasing it was the laser.... I immediately noticed the dot of the laser not being square with the centerline of the laser off of a Bridgeport mill table!!! I'm thoroughly disappointed in ridgid. I'm a third generation steamfitter and have ridgid tools passed down to me from my grandfather that are in great working condition because they were built to last but this level is GARBAGE!!!! WASTE OF $106.00

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rigger from extremely handy I recently purchased the 800 LMI. In my line of work I do a lot of machinery alignment. The laser feature is what sold me on this. It works extremely well and makes the job easy. Whether aligning the faces of several different peices, or using it as a plumb bob, It works well. The accuracy for a small level is great and its compact size lets me store it just about anywhere. The aluminum body is tough and I have little worries about it getting damaged. The magnets allow it be attached to anything securely and without worry of it moving. For my application, the five vials seems to be a bit much, I'm good with 0, 90 and 45. But in more of a construction application, I can see where the others may come in handy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SprinklerGuy from 5 Vial Laser Level I believe I paid roughly $100 and that was about a year ago and the vertical/horizontal vials are still plumb (I very rarely have to use the angled vials). I am especially fond of the horizontal plumb vial as it actually has a fall/foot measurement in 1/8" increments which is fantastic for those trades that require slope. The laser feature only beams parallel to the length of the level (it would be great if there was an attachment that could also beam perpendicular to the length of the level but as far as I know there isn't) which I've truthfully only found useful for getting rod measurements when the ceiling is has uneven elevations. The laser requires 3AAA batteries and it does last a very long time, however to turn the laser feature on, theres a little brass plug on the end of the laser with a thread on it which you have to thread IN to turn on, and to turn off you have to back the plug off which I'm not entirely fond of as ive accidentally left the laser feature on all day from time to time and killed the battery.

Rated 5 out of 5 by theohinohio from Great for any handyman or professional contractor! My husband loves his laser level! He has had it for about 3 months and the light is still going strong! It's perfect for when he is installing basements. The magnets help the level adhere to his metal brackets, which helps free up his hands! It's also perfect for when I just him to install a few pictures around the home!

What is the laser used for?
I've also used it for getting rod measurements when the ceiling changes in elevation. I've also used it to line up swing joints in tight ceilings. I usually keep a short gunner piece of pipe on me with a thread to attach my level to. There's nothing worse than trying to catch those long pieces of pipe by yourself in an already congested ceiling space and having to constantly move back and forth wrenching in/out a fitting so that you can finally get that long piece of pipe caught. I must admit this level has saved me this aggravation on many of occasions.

What is the maximum visibility of the laser beam of the 800LMI
With fresh batteries I've been able to see the laser clearly at 100' even on a well lit job site. Its a great laser pointer when your trying to explain something to someone from the ground and easier to manipulate than stretching your tape measure 10 feet in the air trying to point at something.

Aug. 18, 2012
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The UAB football team held its annual football media opportunity Saturday morning in what was a busy day for the Blazers.
The 2012 squad began the day by taking posed individual shots, pictures with their position groups and a team photo while dodging early morning showers, which passed through the Birmingham area.
Following the photo session, head coach Garrick McGee joined 10 football players--CB Cornelius Richards, WR Nick Adams, WR Jackie Williams, WR Patrick Hearn, RB Greg Franklin, DT Connor Boyette, RB Darrin Reaves, LB Marvin Burdette, K Ty Long, and S Jake Ganus--to discuss the upcoming season with the local media.
The Blazers will conclude the afternoon with their second scrimmage of the fall camp, which is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. CT at the UAB practice field.
UAB begins the 2012 season on Saturday, Sept. 1 hosting Troy at Legion Field, with kickoff scheduled for 11 a.m. CT. The game will be broadcast by Fox College Sports.
Below are a few quotes from McGee's press conference:
Head Coach Garrick McGee
Thoughts on training camp...
"I think we have a lot of confidence and we have come a long way. We still have 14 days to prepare for our first game and we have to maximize every day."
Areas that surprise you...
"We have more talent than I thought that we had when I took the job. When you are coming into a program that hasn't had much success, as a matter of fact, hasn't had a winning season in the last five years, and none of our kids have experienced a winning season in a UAB uniform. So as you take the job, you think that there is not much talent and it's going to take a few years to recruit personnel and get really good players in place. What I've been impressed with is we have a lot of talent - size, speed and ability - we have that."
On being so close to the first game...
"You are always concentrating, but your intensity level really does raise your focus as the head coach. Your commitment to getting things to come around and your patience starts to go away a little bit because we are not in camp. It's time to start doing things right, time to start getting ourselves ready to play well on game day."
On four tough games to start the season...
"We're committed to being the best that we can possibly be on a daily basis. If that's your commitment and that's what you are focused on it doesn't matter who you are playing, it doesn't matter where you're playing, it doesn't matter if it's a practice session, a workout, a walk through, a meeting - none of that matters when you are committed to being the best that you can be on a daily basis."
Senior Linebacker Marvin Burdette
On how camp has gone under head coach Garrick McGee...
"It's been a good experience, I think for everybody. One of my biggest memories (so far) was one of the first days of camp during break. We were grinding and all of sudden coach called a break and we had all these big fans and tents and popsicles and I had never been exposed to anything like that in the past. Usually it was just water and Gatorade and back on the field. So Coach McGee truly meant what he said about having a different mindset as a small time program to a big time program. I think he has really treated us like that and I thank him for that."
"It is very important because it makes it feel like the coach is standing behind you and doing everything he can for you and it makes you lay everything on the line for him. It makes you feel good that a coach is doing so much for you and it plays a big part."
Sophomore Running Back Darrin Reaves
On the competition between running backs...
"We (the running backs) come out and compete everyday, every practice, every snap. We have to bring our A-game because if you mess up you have another guy waiting to take your job."
Junior Defensive Tackle Connor Boyett
On the improvement of the defensive line...
"The (defensive line) has definitely shown an improvement. Coach Jimmy Williams has helped us fix a whole bunch of things technique wise and has helped us understand how to play better and faster and I think you'll see a lot more production from the defensive line as a whole."

Can see that my website is looking kind of how I want it to look on mobile when I go to http://juiceandsmoothierecipes.com/?am_force_theme_layout=mobile
However, when I try to see it on my mobile, it hasn't changed. I refreshed, deleted cache and waited a few hours. Still no change.
What am I doing incorrectly?
Also, how do I get the homepage panes to show up on mobile. They aren't showing even on the above link.

Ice scraper scratching windshield??
Has anyone here experienced this? I had to use an icescraper to get heavy frost off my window yesterday morning, today being a sunny day I noticed scratches all over my windshield. I've been scraping windows every winter for the past 20 years on all types of vehicles, and have never seen this. What is Ford putting on / or not putting on their windshields now? I don't want to have to buy a new windshield every spring, and I know insurance won't cover it. Maybe we need to have winter windshields and summer windshields, and just swap them out seasonally with our tires? I don't think it is acceptable to have to wait for the window to defrost on its own!
Oh man that sucks, thanks for the warning!
Did your scraper have something hard stuck to it like some dirt? I don't know if it wil help you but when i used a product like rainx on my older cars windshields a side effect was that most of the small pit marks would get filled in and seem to dissapear from the drivers perspective. Of course it wears off eventually but if helps hide the scratches...
You may want to try giving your windshield a really good cleaning with some alcohol as maybe what you see is some residue left on the windshield from the scraper?
Yes, I am hoping they are just scuff marks. I use a plastic scraper, and it's clean. I will get the car into the shop this weekend hopefully and see if they are just scuffs, not scratches.. but at this point and with just some minor rubbing. I am pretty sure they are scratches. I do have some rain-x that a buddy brought back from SEMA for me, but it has been too cold to apply. So that's my goal for this Saturday I guess. Clean and rain-x my windshield!
I would swear the windows ALL have some sort of plastic coating on them.. inside and out.
They just do not have the 'feel' of normal glass.
The op's experience makes me more certain of this.
if you look at a hardness scale glass is up there.... i don't see why a plastic scraper would do anything. Theoretically you can run a bucket of nails down your windshield and now have an issue with scratch's... maybe you have a diamond edged ice scraper ;)
I think the dealers are putting a coat of sealer or something on the car exteriors, the water beaded and ran off my windshield in a rain storm before I ever washed or waxed it myself. It could be just marks in the wax/sealer that they put on. I highly doubt your plastic scraper could mar glass.
Maybe those scratches are just leftover frost? I've had frost on my windshield lots, but had only used a scraper on my focus once and didn't leave any marks. What I usually do is use the windshield wiper fluid that's for -45C and just spray it whenever there's frost. Melts away almost instantly. Maybe you can give that a try?
Windscreens Scratch easy.
I Once used a Brillo Pad to clean Birdsh!it off the windscreen (not on the Focus)and it got damaged.Went scratched and milky. You could see the damage from the inside.
Had to be replaced {School Fees}.
Sponge with Car Wash Soap and water should melt that snow.

After obliterating the Angels, the Red Sox faced their biggest rivals Friday night and suffered one of their worst losses of the season. Josh Beckett had complete command of his fastball and off-speed pitches through the first 3.2 innings, striking out seven batters. After giving up a three-run homer to Nick Swisher, Beckett lost control of his whole arsenal of pitches and the game.
Beckett completely fell apart in the sixth inning. He loaded up the bases and could not find a way to get out of the mess even with the weakest park of the Yankees lineup at the plate. He proceeded to then walk catcher Fransisco Cervelli, give up a hit to Randy Winn, plunk Derek Jeter in the back, surrender an infield hit to Marcus Thames, and allow the ice-cold Mark Teixeira to line an RBI single to right.
Finally, Francona pulled the plug and brought in Hideki Okajima, who got out of the inning after an Alex Rodriguez sac fly. The damage was done, however, and the Yankees beat the Sox 10-3.
Drew was 2-3 and scored 2 of the Sox' only 3 runs. His batting average has skyrocketed from .133 on April 21 to .264 after Friday night. In his last eight games, he is 14-30.
In just 5.1 innings, Beckett's line was 9 hits, 9 runs, 3 BBs and 8 Ks. He's now 1-1 on the season with a 7.46 ERA. This is pretty routine for him, however, as he was 2-2 with a 7.22 ERA last April. It seemed like not only was he finally getting his act together, but without a doubt, the No. 21 was ringing through the heads of Sox fans after three innings.
W: Phil Hughes (4-0)
L: Josh Beckett (1-1)
