Well, Bad things happen to good people never sounded better to say then now for me. Wife told me to get lost a week ago and "I want a divorce!" came from her mouth, because of all things, the fact I have a HANDGUN IN THE HOUSE. Everything was fine with it until we moved closer to her family and in retrospect that was a mistake because it also put us closer to her Ex who hates the fact of "guns and kids" seeing as how she has a son by him. But long story short, she wants a divorce because "she wants to be with HIM not me, and because I apparently CHOSE firearms over her because we argued over the reasons I own both handguns and long guns and the fact that I refuse to put ALL my firearms including my carry/defensive ones in the BASEMENT.. Makes no sense since she LOVED the fact I had them at first, even payed for one for fathers day.... I cannot fight this battle because of the beliefs and the facts involved, and I will unfortunatly be filing the required papers within the week. Worst part is, shes pregnant with my child..
Just figured I'd rant a bit and explain why I was gone for so long.

Casino Could Come to Seneca County
A town near Seneca Falls could host the state's newest casino.
The Tyre Town and Planning Board will be listening to a proposal to develop a casino at the Northeast corner of the Thruway and State Route 414.
"We are listening to a developers proposal; no decisions have been made," says Tyre Town Supervisor Ron McGreevy. "We have not had the opportunity to get a lot of feedback from the community. That's why we are holding the meeting."
The developer wants to build a casino on the nearly 84 acres of farm land near I-90's exit 41. The public meeting will be held at 7:30 at the Magee Fire Department on the corner of Routes 414 and 318.
Seneca County is among the few areas that can host one of the recently allowed private casinos. Under the state's agreement with most of the Indian nations; land west of Route 14 is the exclusive casino territory of the Seneca Indian Nation while land from Cayuga County east to Herkimer County belongs to, Turning Stone owners, the Oneida Indian Nation.
If approved the location, nearly halfway between Rochester and Syracuse, would also be reasonably accessible by the Thruway's exit 42.

There is increasingly clear evidence that human influence has contributed substantially to the large-scale climatic changes that have occurred over the past few decades. Attention is now turning to the physical implications of the emerging anthropogenic signal. Of particular interest is the question of whether current climate models may be over- or under-estimating the amplitude of the climate system's response to external forcing, including anthropogenic. Evidence of a significant error in a model-simulated response amplitude would indicate the existence of amplifying or damping mechanisms that are inadequately represented in the model. The range of uncertainty in the factor by which we can scale model-simulated changes while remaining consistent with observed change provides an estimate of uncertainty in model-based predictions. With any model that displays a realistic level of internal variability, the problem of estimating this factor is complicated by the fact that it represents a ratio between two incompletely known quantities: both observed and simulated responses are subject to sampling uncertainty, primarily due to internal chaotic variability. Sampling uncertainty in the simulated response can be reduced, but not eliminated, through ensemble simulations. Accurate estimation of these scaling factors requires a modification of the standard "optimal fingerprinting" algorithm for climate change detection, drawing on the conventional "total least squares" approach discussed in the statistical literature. Code for both variants of optimal fingerprinting can be found on http://www.climateprediction.net/detection.

Genetic Make-Up Of Children Explains How They Fight Malaria Infection
"Malaria is a major health problem world-wide, with over 3 billion individuals at risk and hundreds of thousands of deaths annually, a majority of which are African children under the age of 5. Why are some children prone to infection, while others are resistant and efficiently fight the disease? These are the questions we sought to answer with our study", Idaghdour says.
However, to succeed where many other studies have failed, the team used an approach different from the classic in vitro one, where the genome is analyzed using cells grown in a laboratory. Instead, they used an in vivo approach, analyzing blood samples of children from the Republic of Benin, West Africa, collected with the help of collaborators in the city of Cotonou and the nearby village of Zinvié. "This approach allowed us to identify how the "environment" engages in an arms race to define the clinical course of the disease, in this case the environment being the number of parasites detected in the child's blood running against the genetic make-up of the infected child", Idaghdour explains.
"We used an innovative combination of technologies that assessed both genetic variation among children and the conditions in which their genes are "expressed". By doing so, we increased the power of our analysis by permitting us not only to detect the mutations, but also to capture their effect depending on how they affect genes being turned "on" or "off" in presence of the parasite", Awadalla explains. "Our approach made us successful, where million-dollar studies have failed in the past. There has never been this many genes associated with malaria discovered in one study."
This major milestone in understanding how the genetic profile affects the ability of children to cope with infection could pave the way to the development of low-cost genetic profiling tests in a not so far future. "Accurate diagnosis of the infectious agent is critical for appropriate treatment, of course. However, determining a patient's genetic predisposition to infection would allow us to be more aggressive in our treatment of patients, whether we are speaking of vaccines or preventive drugs", Awadalla says.

Fast forward two and a half years since the events of A Living Nightmare Of Chaos, Drake, the human, has moved into Canterlot Castle with his Fiance, Princess Celestia and her sister Princess Luna. Everything seems calm, but everypony has been living on borrowed time as the arrival of a time traveling human preaching words of war in Equestria sends ripples through the lands, death will be arriving and has followed Drake from the future.
Princess Luna must decide where her heart lies, the ember of love for her sisters fiance threatens to send her mad with sorrow and jelousy. And with her sisters wedding in just a month, can she contain her feelings or will the events that are unfolding reawaken the spirit of Nightmare Moon inside her?
Sequel to Ray.
Tempest escapes imprisonment and uses Ray's past teachings to turn mad bomber in attempt to kill him and the team responsible for putting him behind bars, under the diversion of radical road gangs fighting for supremacy of the roads and Equestria's new fuel supply.
The Friendship is Epic series as reached it's third season. Flare gains a new tool known as the Blessings of the Night to help him with his friendship adventures, and to defeat the evil Dr. Swinebutt, and other villians that may be contained in here.
In the end, everything falls to chaos. A new mare has escaped her prison in Tartarus, and has kept her grudge against Equestria. With her return, she threatens the very fabric of Time and Space itself. In New Equestria, foes will unite to beat this unbeatable foe... but at what cost?
Cody's day was just going fine, just got done with high school for the rest of the year, listening to music in his room, and soundly asleep. Sound ordinary? Wrong. Ditzy made a wish to have a friend who cared for her and didn't make fun of her eyes. Later on that day, a black, mysterious mist started to cover Cody's body and suddenly he found himself head-face in the ground in front of everyone's favorite blonde and grey mare. The next thing? He was now a Stallion, a pegasus to be specific...
Now, living in Equestria and on Earth at times, our friend is living in an entirely new world, and sure enough, truths will come to be told. Cody himself has a few secrets, but will they all be discovered? Who knows...
I want to say that first, this will be an omage to 'My Little Dashie' and I will put some other elements of games and stuff in here. Also, I'm gonna try and keep away from 'bashing' to many of the characters, just warning everypony. So, yeah, tell me what you guys think of it, and I will make more.
Also, to be warned, humanized ponies at some parts. Won't make sense until later in the story.
My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro, Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Rising belongs to Konami. Team Fortress 2 also belongs to Valve, and Dead Space belongs to Visceral Games.
It's been three months since the Noble Six rescued the Mane Six from Chaos Mountain and even though Flare knows a decent amount about friendship, his adventure is still far from over. Flare has yet to know who the mysterious doctor is because there is somepony out there that wants to ruin Flare's life for good. Who could it be? Meanwhile, Flare's sister Water Gun moves into town.
It started five years ago, near the forest, when Celestia's prodigy played witness to a shadowy conspiracy surrounded the Princess of the Night.
Now the devastation begins, mere weeks before the world watches the royal wedding, perhaps the most terrible possible consequence comes of Luna's rash actions.
Alone in a world seemingly turned against him Shadow Chaser is forced to walk the line of living and dying until the day might come when his past comes to light. The machinations of royalty and magic flow around him without breaking, revealing a current of events the poor colt only has the slightest knowledge of. Through his eyes exists a window into the events of a larger and more fascinating equestria than was ever explored by the classic adventures.
What exactly happened between the seasons?
Do you really want to find out?
Crimson Flare Gun, a red unicorn pony with a bleak past. He moves out of his hometown of Mareami and moves into Ponyville for a fresh new start at life. Not only does he move into a new town filled with ponies that may accept him for who he is, he wants help for improving his comedic ways to help make new friends. On the way, Flare befriends some ponies that shares similar histories. Flare may not be the kindest or most serious pony in Equestria, but with the help of his new friends, he will succeed, or will he? Don't look at me, I'm just a label.
As the war between humans and clockponies waged, Tornadic Wind worked on his latest training simulator. Nicknamed 'The Program', Tornadic entered the video game-like digiverse and began his training, where he would meet an old friend. A friend he hasn't seen since he was a cub on Earth.
When Tornadic stumbled upon a Changeling in Ghastly Gorge, he discovered something about them that could change Equestria forever. So when he brought the topic up during a Royal Hearing, many arguments broke out, ending with Tornadic resigning from his seat of Ruler of Equestria. Now labeled as a traitor, Tornadic takes his weapons and heads off to the Changeling Kingdom. The widow, Princess Twilight, sends forces to the Kingdom with one purpose, to destroy everything in sight. Will Tornadic be able to make alliance so great, peace can fall upon both races, or will he die trying?

Welcome back to another year Coastliners… We hope you had a nice, restful time off with friends and family.
Attention All Coastliners
Please plan to attend the All College Meeting. To kick off the event, a lunch will be served at noon. This will be followed by a number of meetings, including a meeting hosted by the Classified Senate. Classified professionals are encouraged to attend. The All College Meeting will take place at 2:00 pm, and will be followed by department meetings.
Let's enjoy an afternoon of networking and dialogue. See you there.
Coastline Bookstore has expanded their offerings
For the first week of classes for the spring semester, bookstores will now be open at all three locations; Fountain Valley, the Le-Jao Center and the Newport Beach Center. From January 27 – Thursday January 30, all bookstores will be open from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm. In addition to textbooks, the bookstores will also carry clothing, food and school supplies. The bookstores will also be open every Saturday in January.
Students saved money at the Bookstore in 2013
In 2013 the bookstore saved students $190,000 due to rental, digital and used books. Way to go, Coastline students!
A new face at OLIT
Roy Heffelman is joining the Coastline Help Desk and End User Support team. Roy has been a district employee for over 18 years, and previously specialized in telecommunication support. Roy said he is looking forward to meeting and working with the team at OLIT.
A Bittersweet Farewell
With mixed emotions we would like to inform everyone that as of Friday, January 10th, Sohair Zaki will no longer be working with us here at Coastline. While we are happy and excited for Sohair's new opportunity to showcase her teaching and leadership skills as the IT Chair for a local campus of ITT Technical Institute, we are also deeply saddened to see her go as her contributions to the Coastline OLIT team have been immeasurable. We all wish Sohair the best of luck in her future endeavors.
What's new with the Affordable Care Act
Beginning in 2014, the Affordable Care Act includes a mandate for most individuals to have a minimum of healthcare coverage. Minimum coverage is defined as; coverage under certain government-sponsored plans; employer-sponsored plans, with respect to any employee; plans in the individual market; grandfathered health plans; and any other health benefits coverage, such as a state health benefits risk pool, as recognized by HHS Secretary.
Flexible spending carryover
The IRS announced that Health FSAs can have a $500 carryover of unused amounts to the next plan year. This creates an exception to the long-established "Use or Lose Rule". The district amended the agreement with American Fidelity to allow this $500 carryover of unused contributions for the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan.
Online employee access
The District Benefits Office is going green. Starting March 1, 2014, a new Banner feature will be via self-service, and will provide employees with enhanced capabilities such as viewing their medical, dental and vision plan enrollment detail online, anytime, through the campus MY SITE.
In the fall, the Benefits Office will be hosting a paperless open enrollment for active employees. These employees will be able to use Banner to make plan changes, add or delete dependents and review the cost impact of your anticipated plan changes. More information will be coming soon.

Tomball Branch Ends a Chapter
Many of you will remember when the Tomball branch of Harris County Public Library (HCPL) joined with Lone Star College Tomball's academic library and opened a combined library building in 2005. At that time, Wendy Schneider, who had been a branch librarian at the Fairbanks and Kingwood branches, became the library's co-director. Schneider has served the public library since then, liaising with the people of Tomball through membership in the Chamber of Commerce, outreach to schools, community groups, and retirement centers, and through ever-expanding library services and programs.
On Thursday, April 26th, Schneider retired, ending a seven year relationship with Tomball branch and a nineteen year career with HCPL.
At her retirement party, HCPL Director, Rhoda Goldberg, noted that a hallmark of Schneider's career had been moving the library into the 21st century. Schneider expanded the technological services of the library by adding computers, electronic collections, and online services. When the economic downturn of 2009 created mass unemployment in the Tomball area, Schneider expanded the library's computer skills courses to get workers back into the job market. Responding to the changing demographics of Tomball, Schneider also expanded the library's Spanish language signage, services, programs, and English as a Second Language opportunities. Tomball branch staff particularly remember Schneider for her high standards of professionalism and customer service.
We will miss Wendy and we wish her well in her new life adventures.
Wendy, My family and I will
Wendy, My family and I will miss seeing you at the library. I want to thank you for making us feel so welcome, for being interested in our day to day lives, and for always having a smile and a kind word. You will be missed and we wish you the best in what the future has to offer. The Jackson Family

See the image for the table structure I have created:
The hierarchy is like this (from top to bottom):
dumped_order_carrier doesn't have an auto-increment id, it has a primary key spanning 3 columns - I have made it so because the 3-column value sets will always be unique. Next I wanted to add another table which would hold multiple options assigned to dumped_order_carrier and so in order to reference the parent table I have to again use the 3-column PK.
I wonder if it would be a better idea to add an auto-increment id to dumped_order_carrier and change the current 3-column PK to a unique key. This way I wouldn't have to repeat the 3-column PK in dumped_order_carrier_option - I could simply reference the parent table (dumped_order_carrier) by its auto-increment id.
I know both approaches would work, I'm interested in what would be the more logical/elegant practice. The current setup looks logical to me but I'm concerned a bit about repeating all the columns.
more logical and elegant -- use multi-column PKs/FKs
if you used an auto_increment, you would still, like you said, have to repeat the multi columns anyway, ans well as adding an additional index to ensure uniqueness, which means the auto_increment would be pretty much useless (e.g. would you ever search a child table by its auto_increment value? nope)
Well, the auto_increment would be useless in the parent table but it would be useful in the child table because I could reference the parent table by 1 column instead of 3. I was also thinking about scaling - if, in the future I add other child tables to dumped_order_carrier or dumped_order_carrier_option then I will have to repeat all the 3 columns in each one. If I need to extend the PK to span 4 or more columns instead of 3, then I'll have to update all foreign keys in the child tables. Possibly, I'd also have to update a few queries and other logic in my application. With the additional auto-increment all that work wouldn't be necessary.
(e.g. would you ever search a child table by its auto_increment value? nope)
No but I will search the child table by its foreign key value. In this case the FK spans 3 columns so I have to search by all of them. With the additional auto-increment I could have a single column FK, which would be easier to manage.
I agree with you that it's more logical and elegant to use multi-column keys. It only seems more work in case of any future changes. I'll leave it now as it is and see how it works out.

In the FIFA World Ranking, Mexico is 15th and the USA trails at No. 20. El Tri's corps of European-based players includes two Barcelona players and two who won titles last season in the Netherlands and Germany. The majority of the crowd in Houston on Wednesday will be Mexico supporters. So why will it be foolish to bet on Mexico when it faces the USA (TV; ESPN2 and Univision, live, 9 pm ET)?
For however impressive and celebrated the migration of U.S. players to European clubs has been, Mexican players have lately been more successful abroad.
Rafael Marquez often marshals the central defense (or more recently plays in front of the backline) for Barcelona in Spain's La Liga, the world's best league top to bottom. Marquez has won two La Liga titles and a Champions League crown. Last Sunday, Barcelona earned a crucial 1-0 win over Osasuna on a Xavi goal set up by some clever moves from 18-year-old Mexican Giovani dos Santos. Starting for Osasuna was another Mexican teen, Carlos Vela.
Defensive midfielder Pavel Pardo helped VfB Stuttgart win last season's German Bundesliga crown. (His Stuttgart teammate Ricardo Osorio isn't in the squad for the Houston game.) Outside back Carlos Salcido helped PSV Eindhoven win the Dutch title last season, and it currently enjoys a commanding league lead this season.
Americans Michael Bradley in the Netherlands, Oguchi Onyewu in Belgium and Tim Howard in England are near the top of the standings with their clubs. But Mexican players in the recent past have impressed more that the U.S. players abroad.
Giovani, for example, sees Champions League time for Barcelona, while Freddy Adu can't get a start in the Portuguese league and Benny Feilhaber sits on the bench at Derby.
But often in the past, Americans who were struggling abroad -- for example, Frankie Hejduk and Eddie Lewis at the 2002 World Cup -- shone when they returned to the comfort of their national team.
For sure, one of the most intriguing aspects of Wednesday's game is that it can provide an opportunity to compare American youngsters Bradley, Adu and Jozy Altidore to Vela and Giovanni.
Both teams' squads have roughly the same proportion of domestic and foreign-based players. On that front, the edge would seem to be Mexico's, because the Mexican League is underway while MLS is in its offseason.
If one relies on France Football's 2007 ranking of CONCACAF teams, favorite status goes to the USA. France Football's annual classifications, ranked by Soccer America's Paul Kennedy since 1991, rely more heavily head-to-head results -- a 2-0 friendly victory one year ago and a 2-1 win in the Gold Cup final last summer -- than the FIFA World Ranking. It marked the fifth time in the last eight years the USA was ranked No. 1 in CONCACAF.
That Mexico rated ahead of the USA in the FIFA rankings is due to its Copa America performance in Venezuela.
The USA at the Copa America, without key regulars, lost all three games, to (Argentina, 4-1), Paraguay (3-1) and Colombia (1-0).
Mexico notched victories over eventual title winner Brazil (2-0), Ecuador (2-1) and Paraguay (6-0), and tied Chile (0-0) before falling to Argentina (3-0) in the semis. It beat Uruguay, 3-1, in third-place game.
But for all the reasons why Mexico should feel confident when it hits the field at Reliant Stadium on Wednesday there remains the fact that El Tri has forgotten how to win in the USA against the Americans.
No doubt, games in the USA are home matches for El Tri, which in 2007 played more games (11) north of the border than in its own country (4). Yet in the last nine clashes when the USA hosted since 2000, the USA has won eight and tied once.
Instead of being boosted by the Mexican-American fan support, Mexico's players seem to fold under the pressure. That makes the USA, a team that must cope with feeling like visitors in their own country, the favorite.

Poor AxesLabel position in ListPlot3D
Hi, I'm running version 6.0.1 for Mac OS X, and ListPlot3D doesn't
seem to be doing a very good job placing axis labels in many cases.
For example:
ListPlot3D[{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4, 5}}, AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]
The y-axis label collides with one of the tick marks. This problem is
occuring with greater severity in some plots of large datasets I'm
working on. Is anyone else having this problem as well? Is there a
workaround / am I overlooking something obvious? Thanks for any help!

Ashton Kutcher among CTIA 2013 Keynote Speakers
CTIA 2013, a leading wireless tech conference, will be held May 20-23 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Representing a growing $1 trillion global marketplace, CTIA 2013 will explore the trends shaping the vast mobile ecosystem as well as the impact of mobility on other vertical markets, such as health care, retail, education and government. Presented by CTIA–The Wireless Association, an authority leading the mobile movement since 1984, CTIA 2013 will continue to illuminate the future by showcasing the leaders, ideas and experiences transforming the dynamic wireless industry.
Keynote speakers include:
- Mary Dillon, 2013 Chairperson of CTIA's Board of Directors and U.S. Cellular President and CEO;
- Ashton Kutcher, actor and technology venture capitalist;
- José María Álvarez-Pallete López, Chief Operating Officer, Telefónica S.A.;
- Michael Chasen, CEO of Social Radar and Co-founder and former CEO of Blackboard Inc.;
- Dr. Thomas Kiessling, Chief Product and Innovation Officer, Deutsche Telekom AG;
- Gibu Thomas, Global Head of Mobile for Walmart;
- and MicroStrategy CEO and bestselling author of The Mobile Wave Michael Saylor.
"CTIA 2013 keynote speakers are the thought leaders, the innovators and the influencers shaping the wireless story. These individuals have been at the forefront at disrupting the status quo by making consumers' lives better via wireless technology," said CTIA Vice President and Show Director Robert Mesirow.
Ashton Kutcher is described in CTIA press materials as a "passionate champion of new and emerging technologies, award-winning actor and technology investor. He has been on the bleeding edge of digital social media from its earliest days. His race with CNN to be the first to one million Twitter followers became a worldwide news story and cemented Ashton's status as a new media superstar. His unparalleled relationships with the tech industry's best and brightest leaders keep his VC firm Katalyst far ahead of this fast-moving frontier. Kutcher also stars as Steve Jobs in the upcoming film jOBS, slated to hit theaters April 19."
Also speaking is Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy Founder, chairman, president and CEO and the author of bestselling book, The Mobile Wave: How Mobile Intelligence Will Change Everything.

Senator Lindsay Graham is upset. Senator Graham wants to know what was happening in the American government on September 11, 2012 when four Americans were killed in Libya. "Weknow nothing about what the president did on the night of September 11 during a time of national crisis and the American people need to know what their commander in chief did, if anything, durin the attack." Apparently, Senator Graham is not interested in what leaders of the American government did during the night of September 11, 2001 when 2,900 Americans died.
I assume President Obama each night focuses on what is happening at the 240 embassies throughout the world. Is he interested if a Marine guard is having sex with a local woman? Is he interested if the ambassador is drinking alcohol during a time of national crisis?
Then again, we demand to know what Lindsay Graham was doing on the night of September 11, 2012!

Picanté Fresh Mexican Grill opened last Fall in Downtown Stamford. Yeah, there's a lot of places in town where you can get great tacos, but Picanté has a menu featuring vegetarian, lo-carb and low-fat options.
Our favorites:
- The Original Sin Taco – made with either grilled chicken or all natural ground beef, shredded lettuce and Cotija cheese.
- Rosarita Taco with homemade refried beans, pickled onions, stuffed with your choice of protein, shredded lettuce and Cotija cheese.
- Picanté Fish Taco with either oven-roasted fish or shrimp, shredded green cabbage and your choice of fish or shrimp.
- The Long Life Quesadilla is made with a whole wheat tortilla with your choice of protein, refried beans and melted soy cheese.
|The Original Sin Taco
One of the things we like about the menu: you can choose what type tortilla you want. So mix and match – they're all great. We were hesitant to try the whole wheat tortilla, but it was a great choice.
|Picante Fish Taco and Rosarita Taco
Overall, great food at great prices. The staff are friendly here, and so is the manager, Anshu. You can dine in – and savor a glass of sangria – or take it to go, or get the food delivered. We're big fans of this restaurant.

UConn (1-1) lost its second straight road opener despite the defense sacking Larry Smith seven times and forcing two turnovers. The Huskies had one last chance to try and tie the game, but Rob Lohr sacked McEntee on third down. McEntee overthrew Isiah Moore on fourth down, giving the ball back to Vandy to run out the clock and start celebrating a rare winning start.
Franklin surprised his Commodores with black helmets after pregame warm-ups, putting them in all black. The Commodores hadn't used black helmets since 1990, and they came out fired up in what turned into a defensive slugfest with 12 combined sacks, two returns for TDs and a blocked punt for a TD.
UConn took the opening kickoff and rotated three players at quarterback. Lyle McCombs picked up where he left off last week, when he rushed for 141 yards, but he couldn't do it all. He ran 10 times for 74 yards in the first quarter only to finish with 118 yards on 27 carries.
Dave Teggert kicked two field goals, and Byron Jones blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for a TD. Huskies linebacker Sio Moore had 3 1/2 sacks and forced a fumble that Yawin Smallwood picked up and returned 64 yards for a touchdown that put UConn up 21-14 after McEntee found Ryan Griffin for the 2-point conversion with 10:34 left.
UConn hit Smith repeatedly and even knocked him out of the game briefly. But the senior kept returning, and he threw for 140 yards and one TD. He also had only two turnovers as Vandy outgained UConn 259-193 in total offense.
Safety Kenny Ladler set up Vandy's first TD, diving in front of Kashif Moore to pick off a pass by McEntee at the Huskies 42. Vanderbilt went for the end zone on the next play with Smith finding Chris Boyd in stride for a 42-yard TD pass down the left sideline for a 7-3 lead with 5:54 left.
The Commodores drove 80 yards on their next drive with Smith connecting with John Cole for a 31-yard completion on third-and-11 at the Vandy 19. Freshman Jerron Seymour capped the drive running 40 yards for a TD even as UConn was flagged for having a 12th man on the field in a substitution penalty for a 14-3 lead at halftime.
UConn's best chance to score came in the third when Vandy linebacker Chris Marve knocked a McEntee pass away from Griffin at the back of the end zone.
The Huskies seemed to turn the game in the second half as they hit Smith so hard he left the game for a few plays, replaced by Jordan Rodgers. That helped back Vanderbilt up near its own goal line, and Jones blocked Richard Kent's punt and recovered it in the end zone for the touchdown that pulled UConn within 14-13 midway through the third quarter. It was the first blocked punt for a TD by the Huskies since 2002.

UPDATE 2-Ethiopia says Eritrea-trained gunmen killed tourists
* Addis Ababa says gunmen trained, armed by foe Eritrea
* German nationals among those killed - diplomat says
* Afar known as a haunt for rebels, bandits (Adds Ethiopian government spokesman, details, background)
By Aaron Maasho
ADDIS ABABA, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Gunmen have killed five foreign tourists in Ethiopia's remote northern Afar region, after crossing into the Horn of Africa country from neighbouring Eritrea which trained and armed the attackers, an Ethiopian official said on Tuesday.
A Western diplomat told Reuters German nationals were among those killed in the shooting which happened late on Monday. He did not confirm the total number of dead.
Afar is known to be a haunt of Ethiopian rebels who regularly cross over the border with Eritrea, Ethiopia's bitter foe, Addis Ababa says. Eritrean rebels and bandits are also in the area at times.
"The group of foreign tourists was attacked by gunmen late on Monday, by members of a group that was trained and armed by the Eritrean government. It's the usual terrorist activity by the regime," Bereket Simon, Ethiopia's government spokesman, told Reuters.
There was no immediate comment from the Eritrean authorities. The Red Sea state often says Ethiopia "fabricates" lies to tarnish its image. Continued...

Wrong! Check out how well Liberal/progressive/democrats are doing for my pathetic birthstate, California! Texas, thanks to Gov. Perry, has a balanced budget, out-of-stater's flocking to Texas due to incentives for businesses to thrive; small and large, agriculture is stable and not dictated to by EPA nutter's and their obsession with salamanders and owls and power grabs like water control - thus destroying profitable farms in the San Joaquin valley. And...wait for it, Texas Housing Market! It's the best in the US and growing!!Bend over and grab your ankles.
Trouble is with idealogs like you is you never lift your head from the garbage you're fed from the liberal media; papers/magazine's/or
cable news. You just swallow it down never questioning its lies and omissions. Do you actually think the road we're on now doesn't coincide with those same roads European cities are drowning in right now? The 'dense-ness' baffles me!
Thank you, Gov. Perry...I'm here in Texas because you gave me a state I can safely grow in!

Posted Monday December 24, 2012 9:16 PM GMT
They make quite the picture-perfect family, and Sunday (December 23) Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie showed up at the grocery store with their adorable son, Luca.
Picking up plenty of holiday food supplies, the "So Yesterday" songstress and her hunky hockey hubby browsed the goodies at Bristol Farms before returning to their car, while their little guy smiled brightly.
Ms. Duff showed plenty of affection for Luca as she carried him through the parking lot, showering him with kisses all the way.
Meanwhile, the day before Hilary hit up The Farm in Beverly Hills for a pre-Christmas lunch with her sister Haylie, father Robert, and of course Luca.
Enjoy the pictures of Hilary Duff out in Beverly Hills (December 23).

NY restaurants favor white, male workers: report
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While New York is a melting pot of races and cultures, racial and gender discrimination is still prevalent in the city's restaurant industry, according to a study released on Tuesday.
City restaurants hire and promote white men more often than women and nonwhite workers, the study by The Restaurant Opportunities Group said.
The nonprofit group sent pairs of workers, one white and one nonwhite, to apply for wait staff positions at 138 unidentified fine dining restaurants in Manhattan over a year.
Although all the phony applicants were U.S. citizens and had the same credentials, nonwhite workers were half as likely to receive a job offer than white workers, the study found.
Researchers also examined census data, conducted worker and employer interviews, and analyzed wages from information provided in questionnaires.
Some nonwhites were subjected to racial stereotyping and some women faced sexual harassment, Rekha Eanni Rodriguez, an attorney for the group, said in an interview.
"This report shows that workers of color and women face obstacles in getting equal opportunities through all stages of restaurant work, from hiring to moving up once they are in the workplace," Eanni said.
The restaurant industry is the largest employer of immigrants in the nation, representing 17.5 percent of the industry's 8 million employees nationwide, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data cited in the report. Continued...

tool box drawer liner?
This may seem like a stupid question, but here goes....
I have had a small craftsman tool box since I was a kid. The drawers are really badly beat up inside and the tools rattle all the time.
I bought a much larger craftsman box and have not used it yet. My tools are scattered all over the garage. I want to organize them and get them all put away where I know where they are. :sweat:
Is there some sort of foam (or something) [that is relatively inexpensive] that I can buy and cut to size to line the drawers to keep from damaging them and stop all the rattling around?
If so, where can I buy this stuff?
Thanks all,
yeah- I think I always see this stuff when I'm not looking for it- but you may want to check any of the huge discount stores IE:Target or Walmart. They sell rolls thin foam pads. They come in various colors, usually blue or tan though. They look like - like miniature formed foam (carpet pad). It's often marketed as a non-slip pad for drawers.
Hmm...blue that should work. Not sure about tan though. It would show grease pretty quickly.
The only thing I could think of was that white packing foam pad stuff they sell on a roll in office supply stores. No way would white work for very long. :nono:
I will take a look the next time I am out near walmart. No target around here. I am pretty rural.
I have those nonslip deals in most of my drawers. One tip I can offer up is that when that stuff slides a bit when drawers are "slammed" shut, use some tape-on velcro squares to hold the offending corners down. It works fine for me now.
In a while, Chet.
It's sold in auto stores also, but at double the cost... look in Walmart in the Kitchen section, there sold as non skid pads for sinks and stuff. you can get it in almost any color you want really cheap
I used the stuff walmart sells in the housewares dept.,its a non skid rubber like foam stuff for kitchen drawers. Comes in colors and differant size rolls. Has been in my tool boxes for 3 years and still working great.
There's a product that is sold to put under floor mats to keep them from sliding around that like a thick rubber net. It's cheap and works well.
I've been using the Wally World kitchen stuff for years - it's a lot cheaper the the so-called tool store drawer liner and from what I can see, identical. There's a couple of kinds - the expanded foam and the solid rubber backed which I have on a couple of roll cab tops. This stuff wipes down fairly easily as well
Am I the only one in the world who does not know about this stuff? :confused:
Thanks guys. I will definitely look the next time I drive out to that end of town.
I've found the drawer liner stuff at Harbor Freight for a decent price. I use it in drawers full of wood lathe tools, and it's held up well. I like Chet's Velcro idea, though.
Well guys. I had to go by walmart today anyway. I picked up two rolls of the stuff. I have more than one box that needs it. ;)
There were a lot of colors available, but I grabbed black.
Just how many tans do women need in the kitchen? :confused: I was not aware that there was more than one. :rolleyes:
Thanks all,
Slightly off topic, but....
...Wow, I must've married a great one. My wife put black and white checkerboard contact paper over the shelving in our kitchen. No tans, cremes, or frilly pastel flower prints even made it into the selection process. Of course, she did paint the livingroom pink.....
In a while, Chet.

Well I re did Some of mine with vinyl flooring.
You can get it @ any flooring shop I got mine for free because it was left overs. :thumbup:
Its extremely tough & I chose white because it show s the dirt & if you drop something small into a open draw its easy to find what you lost
Its super thick so it does not require any glue & it does not slide around.

To remove or not to remove tar paper, that is the question
I have an exterior wall that is about to become an interior wall, due to my efforts to enclose an entryway area. The top part of this exterior (soon-to-be interior) wall is adjacent to a small attic area. I temporarily removed the siding that covers this attic so that I could add some insulation. There's tar paper behind this section of siding, and I was wondering whether I should leave it or remove it---the tar paper, that is.
If I leave the tar paper (which would be slightly easier) then I'd have attic, insulation, tar paper, T1-11 siding, drywall, new foyer/entryway, in that order. Given this scenario, is the tar paper a) a good thing, b) a bad thing, or c) something that only an anal-retentive DIYer would worry about?
Doesn't this connect the two attics so you would remove it for access? Be safe, G
Will the tarpaper be on the warm in winter side of the insualtion or on the cold side? If on the cold side of the insulation, remove it. If on the warm side, it won't hurt to leave it, as the heat from the structure will keep it above dew point and prevent any condensation.

Lima — The head of the Colombian paramilitary group Los Urabeños was captured in a joint operation between Colombian and Peruvian police forces, officials said.
Jacinto Nicolas Fuentes, also known as Don Leo, was arrested in the seaside Lima district of Miraflores Wednesday. According to Gen. Raul Salazar, director of Peru's National Police (PNP), Fuentes had entered Peru illegally last month.
Fuentes was one of two men who assumed control of Los Urabeños after the previous leader, Henry de Jesus Lopez Londoño — also known as "Mi Sangre (My Blood)" — was arrested in October. Colombian police believe Fuentes is the link between Los Urabeños and the 33rd front of the rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Los Urabeños, which is based in western Colombia is considered to be the most powerful neo-paramilitary group in the country, with a membership of 1,200 in the inner circle of the organization. Their primary source of income is drug trafficking.
Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos commended the Colombian and Peruvian police who captured Fuentes on Twitter Thursday night. His tweet translates to, "Congratulations to the Colombian Police for the capture in Lima, with the help of Peruvian authorities, of Don Leo, boss of Los Urabeños in Bajo Cauca."
Santos was named one of TIME's most influential people last year in recognition of his Cero a Siempre(Zero to Forever) campaign, which aimed to double the number of children under the age of 5 who received early education from 600,000 to 1.2 million.
Felicitaciones @policiacolombia por captura en Lima, con ayuda de autoridades peruanas, de "Don Leo", jefe de Los Urabeños en el bajo Cauca.
— Juan Manuel Santos (@JuanManSantos) February 7, 2013
Authorities in South American countries have been cracking down on drug cartels recently. Because Colombia is bordered by five different countries, members of the cartels are often captured elsewhere, such as Venezuela or, in the case of Fuentes, Peru. Last September, drug kingpin Daniel Barrera — also known as "Crazy Barrera" — and 36 members of his gang were arrested in Venezuela. The previous November, drug lord Maximilian Bonilla Orozco was also captured in Venezuela.

US STOCKS-Wall St ends slightly lower; Chipotle rises late
* Netflix and Chipotle both rise after-hours on results
* Yum Brands, McDonald's shares down on China food safety
* EMC jumps on report of activist investor stake
* Dow off 0.3 pct; S&P 500 down 0.2 pct; Nasdaq off 0.2 pct (Updates to close, adds results from Netflix and Chipotle)
By Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks slipped on Monday as investors remained cautious about instability in Ukraine and Gaza, though the three major indexes ended well off their lows, a sign that some appetite for riskier assets remained.
The S&P 500 fell as much as 0.6 percent, though it recovered most of those losses and closed right above its 14-day moving average, suggesting buyers were using weakness to come back into the market. Still, the day's losses were broad, and nine of the 10 primary S&P 500 sector indexes fell. The S&P energy sector index represented the only positive group, up 0.2 percent. U.S. crude oil for August delivery shot up 1.4 percent to settle at $104.59 ahead of Tuesday's contract expiry.
Violence escalated in the Gaza Strip despite growing international calls for a cease-fire. The Palestinian death toll rose above 500 while Israel's losses also mounted. While the impact to the U.S. economy is seen as minimal, investors are concerned about the fallout from an extended period of increased violence as well as the prospect that it could spread to other parts of the Middle East.
Market participants also kept watch on the uncertain situation in Ukraine, where fighting flared in the city of Donetsk. Last week a Malaysian Airlines jet was shot down over Ukraine, adding to an already tense situation between the country and Russia. Continuación...

Boiler Troubles *I Need Help Please*
:( Hi, Purchased a 2000sqft house with 10 radiators. The house originally had a 150,000 Btu boiler. I recent allowed the contractor who renovated the house to have a new boiler installed the guy changed the boiler to a 95000 BTU boiler. I have not rented out the house yet and the Thermostat has been set constantly on 51 degrees the bill at that house is $500.00 for this month ONLY for 22 . For only 10 days last month the bill was $200.00 for gas service.. Does any one have any ideas of Why this bill is sooooo high??? Is the boiler to small and being over worked? The Gas man has checked there are no leaks.
I have myself since had 3 Plumbers check the house they Estimate the boiler size at 105,000-125,000 Btus. What should I do?? How should I approach this situation. Please help!
Do a heat loss/gain calc, and find out how much heat it really needs.
Problem could be several things.
What temp is the thermostat set to.
What temp is the boiler set to.
What circulator is being used.
Is it a monoflo system.
Is the boiler able to maintain thermostat set temp.
Have you checked with the gas company, to see how the gas bills were for the previous owners.
You are very deep and have WAyyyyyyy more knowledge then me in this area.:eek: I only ubnderstood a couple of the things that you asked me. I have had the theromstat set on Only 51 degrees that is why I am so concerned about how high the bill is. The gas company feels that the bill is high for only having the thermostat set at 51 degrees. Yes the bolier can maintain and shut down at the 51 degree temperature, but I do not know how long it take for it to reach it. I do not live there yet. !
Thanks for your great insight!
Is this a steam or water system? It could be a piping issue or water temp issue. If you have glass in the windows the boiler size is not over sized. 2000 sq ft should not take over 95,000 btu's unless you live in Fairbanks Alaska with no insulation.
How did he size the boiler. The only way is a heat loss.
Do you have pictures.
Also bear in mind an empty house always uses more fuel than a lived in home and our winter (thanks to global warming) is colder than average, will add to the fuel usage.
Boiler gas guzzler
Hi, I thought about the fact that the house being empty as maybe part of the problem, but there are Drape and blinds up at the windows helping retain some heat. The thermostat is only set on 51 though a $500.00 bill is a lot for those circumstances. I suppose I will measure all rooms and radiators and call the plumbing supply heat specialist tomorrow. Hopely he is not to hung over from the STEELERS VICTORY later today after all we are in Pittsburgh. Thanks and enjoy the super bowl!

Christmas comes to life at San Anton School
The Christmas Market at San Anton School is in full swing, proving to be a festive fun day out for families.
Hundreds of visitors are visiting the various stalls which have on offer traditional decorations, gift-wrapping, home accessories. giftware, jewellery, wooden toys, advent calendars, plants, chocolates, children's gifts, toys, gourmet foods, spices, festive treats, home-made jams and chutneys.
While parents shop, children are meeting Santa at his Grotto. But the main attraction is a live crib complete with a purposely built wooden stable at the school picnic area under a large carob tree.
With the support of local farmers, the stable also is housing live animals to transform the area into a typical nativity scene.
Children visiting the Christmas Market are encouraged to dress up in nativity costumes.
Activities for children include storytelling, letter writing to Santa, arts and crafts, baking and games.
The Stagecoach Christmas Choir and the cast of The Wizard of Oz – MADC's Traditional Christmas Panto are also visiting the market, which is a San Anton School fundraising event.

Why We're All Living in Nellyville
Around 3PM on Friday, March 14, San Francisco radio station Latino Mix, 105.7 started playing the 2002 Nelly hit "Hot in Herre." It has now been playing for around 69 hours, with the station pausing only for station IDs and ads.
This is basically just a publicity stunt in the lead-up to a format change from "Latino Mix" to "Hot 105.7," whatever that format may be. Get it? Hot in Herre? This isn't even the first time this kind of thing has happened. What makes it interesting is the how the internet amplified it and how the world chose to react.
First of all, it was nice to see anyone paying attention a radio station. Hot in Herre is not hard to find on the internet, or iTunes, or Spotify or YouTube. It was really just the fact that a terrestrial radio station, this thing we see as static and non-interactive was behaving like your computer's playlist.
Second, everyone has weird stories about this kind of thing happening in their home town -- a DJ going hilariously off message, a song with incredible profanity that somehow managed to slip through to the air. It's because of the internet that it became a phenomenon.
And lastly, this is one of the rare occasions where I feel like robbing something of context actually gives you a a better appreciation of something. On its own, 69 hours (and counting) of "Hot in Herre" is fun and ludicrous and feels out of time. It doesn't even really need to be understood. It can just be enjoyed. I myself am not much of a Nelly fan, but I have found myself tuning into to 105.7 four or five times since Saturday morning. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Well what do you want it to do? Do you want it to have the ability to run diagnostics? Or just bumb up the power? Is money an issue, or would your friends rather pay a higher price for a better product? What do they want the HP bumped for? Normal everday use or pulls, drags, etc...?
post #3 of 26 (permalink) Old 01-19-2006, 12:21 AM
ya if it is a bit of hp he is after any cheap box will do, if he would like gauges with it the edge is positive and offers some more protection, now if he wants more than 120hp, he will need a trany upgrade done first

If he gets a chip/tuner for his Duramax, make sure he gets a Exhaust Temp Guage too. That is very important guage for "better than stock" diesels. If temps get too high (1100°-1300°) too often, start looking for a 4 or 5" turbo down pipe back exhaust.

A lot depends on intended use. Many people get caught up in the big HP craze and end up with more power than they need or can use.
post #6 of 26 (permalink) Old 01-20-2006, 12:19 PM Thread Starter
I am not sure what all he is going to be using it for other than to play around with, isn't that what everyone likes to do with these things. I am already aware he needs gauges and everything else, I am just wondering who makes the best programmer/tuner for a Duramax

At Seattle Public Schools we recognize that when families are engaged in their children's education they achieve higher grades, have better attendance and behavior, complete more homework, and demonstrate a more positive attitude toward education.
We are proud of the diversity of our students and their families. We believe that building meaningful, authentic and culturally-inclusive partnerships with our families and their communities is the best way to ensure our students' success in school, careers, and life.
School-Family Partnership Advisory Committee to the Superintendent (SFPAC) Invitation Letter 2015-2015
School-Family Partnership Advisory Committee Description and Charge 2015-16
School-Family Partnership Advisory Committee (SFPAC) Nomination Form 2015-16
Our Excellence for All Strategic Plan states that "SPS, like all urban school districts, must be creative and relentless in its commitment to engage all families. We have a strong, research-based model for family engagement in the School-Family Partnership Plan, which we plan to implement district-wide." (Excellence for All, p.39)
Family engagement in education is defined as the active participation of parents, family members or other caring adults in the education of children through: academic support, advocacy, and partnerships in the school system. The ultimate goal of family engagement is to effectively contribute to preparing students to graduate ready for college, careers and life.
Researchers and educators have long acknowledged a strong link between family engagement and children's success in school. Studies have shown that school-family-community partnership programs enjoy improved student achievement, attendance, and fewer discipline problems.
"The evidence is consistent, positive, and convincing: many forms of family and community involvement influence student achievement at all ages. Programs and interventions that engage families in supporting their children's learning at home are linked to improved student achievement."
(Epstein, Simon & Salinas [1997], Jordan, Snow & Porche [2000], Starkey & Klein [2000]) in A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family and Community Connections on Student Achievement by Anne T. Henderson & Karen L. Mapp, published by Southwest Education Development Laboratory (SEDL), 2002
"Family and community involvement that is linked to student learning has a greater effect on achievement than more general forms of involvement."
(Invernizzi, Rosemary, Richards & Richards [1997], Dryfoos [2000], Clark [2002])
Seattle Public Schools is a district where every family is an active partner in supporting their children's learning and academic achievement. Schools have systems and practices in place that value and engage families and their communities in essential and meaningful ways.
Collaborate with and build on the strengths of schools, families and communities in order to implement and institutionalize family and community engagement research-based best practices, tailored to meet the needs of each school community.
The Seattle Public Schools' Board of Directors established the Family Engagement Policy 4129 and Procedures 4129 in 2004. It also adopted the School Family Partnerships Plan, based on the framework of Epstein's Six Types of Involvement, adapted to the needs and characteristics of Seattle's students and families.
These Six Types of Family Engagement are critical to the goal of maximizing student academic achievement:
Create a home that gets your child ready to learn:
Homework Tips and Family Literacy & Math Toolkits
Support your child's job as a student and learn some things yourself:
Inform the school of your child's needs and listen to the information the school has about your child:
Spend time at school helping out if possible, or find a creative way to help from home.
Get informed and get involved in making your school work:
Play a role in building partnerships between schools and other groups.
