PARIS – French President Francois Hollande pardoned a woman who was jailed for 10 years for killing her husband after he abused her for decades, the president's office announced Sunday.
"In the face of an exceptional human situation, the president wanted to make it possible for (Jacqueline) Sauvage to return to her family as soon as possible," the presidency said in a statement.
The rare pardon granted by Hollande amounts to a reduction of Sauvage's sentence that will allow the 68-year-old to leave prison in mid-April, her lawyers said. By then, she will have spent more than three years behind bars.
The move came just two days after the president met for the first time with Sauvage's three daughters and her lawyers.
Sauvage's case had become a cause celebre in France, with more than 400,000 people signing a petition demanding her release.
"I'm overwhelmed, happy, grateful, relieved," said Eva Darlan, founder of an advocacy group for Sauvage.
Sauvage was married for 47 years to Norbert Marot, a violent alcoholic who she said had raped and beat her and her three daughters and also abused her son.
On Sept. 10, 2012, the day after her son hanged himself, Sauvage shot her husband three times in the back with a rifle.
She was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison in October 2014, which was upheld on appeal in last December after the state rejected her plea of self-defense.
The group Osez le Feminisme (Dare To Be Feminist) called for the definition of self-defense to be expanded in cases of "female victims of violence."
Sauvage's case has cast a spotlight on the tricky and controversial legal argument known as "battered woman syndrome."
Her lawyer, Nathalie Tomasini, had appealed to the court to "push the limits of self-defense applied to situations of marital violence."
In French law for an act to be considered self-defense it must be seen as proportional and in direct response to an act of aggression.
Killing in response to repeated acts of violence suffered over decades, as in Sauvage's case, did not meet this test.
She was faulted for her passivity faced with the violence and incest carried out by her husband.
"We were afraid of him, he terrified us," one of her daughters told the court.
Another of her daughters, raped at the age of 16, described her father's death as a "relief."
When campaigning for the presidency in 2012, Hollande distanced himself from presidential pardons, describing them as belonging to "a different concept of power."
He has used the power only once, when he freed convicted bank robber Philippe El Shennawy — who had spent 38 years behind bars — in 2014.

Aussie Ian White to head Canadian Wheat Board
By Roberta Rampton
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Ian White, a veteran of Australia's grain trade, will become the next head of the Canadian Wheat Board, one of the world's largest grain exporters, Canada's agriculture minister said on Wednesday.
White, an Australian and chief executive of Queensland Sugar Ltd, joins the agency at a time when government, industry and farmers are bitterly divided over whether the CWB should keep its marketing monopoly on sales of wheat and barley from Western Canada to millers, maltsters and export markets.
White, who spoke to reporters from Brisbane, Australia, said he does not have a position on the CWB's "single desk" and did not want to prejudge the debate.
"It's certainly not my mandate to end the single desk," White said.
"What I would want to be doing is understanding all the issues of value associated with it and try to help the wheat board ... come to the best conclusions about the best ways to keep value for the farmers," he said.
The farmer-controlled CWB, which had $3.5 billion in revenue for the year ended July 31, 2006, has a government-mandated monopoly .
The government tried to end the barley monopoly by regulation last year, but a Federal Court said it had overstepped its authority. An appeal will be heard February 26.
Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said on Tuesday that he wants to introduce legislation in Parliament to end the CWB's barley monopoly. Continued...

EPA Files First Lead Work Rule Violation Case
A Rockland, Maine, renovator is facing penalties for allegedly violating lead safe work practice requirements under the Environmental Protection Agency's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule. The agency reports it is the first time such a case has been filed since the regulations, designed to protect children from exposure to lead-based paint during painting and other renovation activities, went into effect in April 2010.
According to information gathered by inspectors from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration and EPA, two workers employed by Colin Wentworth of Rockland failed to contain dust and debris generated by lead paint removal activities during a repainting project in October 2010. Although Mr. Wentworth had completed the eight-hour course required by the RRP rule, he did not provide the required training or supervision to his employees to ensure that they followed the required work practices prior to their use of high-speed dust-generating power tools to remove lead paint from the building, the EPA states. Wentworth also failed to take steps to obtain the mandatory lead-safe certification for his firm, it is noted.
|A scene from the anonomously-posted YouTube video that tipped off regulators in the Maine case.
The violations were brought to EPA's attention via an anonymous tip linking to a video of the violations, posted on YouTube and taken in October 2010, the agency reports. The video documented workers using power equipment to remove lead paint from an exterior wall of a residential building without using any containment for lead-containing dust and debris. At least six children, one of whom was under six years old, lived in the four-unit building at the time of the project, EPA states.
"In New England we have a high proportion of older houses where lead paint can still be present. It is critically important that all tradespeople understand and follow the RRP requirements so that during renovations, children are not exposed to lead and face serious, life-long health consequences," says Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "Many renovation firms have done the right thing by becoming certified, sending their employees to training and following the appropriate, health-protective work practices. Enforcement of these rules is important to protecting children and the business interests of those contractors who are following the rules."
EPA's investigation found that Wentworth failed to: obtain required certification as a renovation firm from EPA; post warning signs in the work area; cover the ground in the work area with plastic sheeting to collect falling lead paint debris; contain waste from the renovation activities to prevent releases of dust and debris before the waste is removed from the work area for storage or disposal; prohibit use of machines that remove lead-based paint through high-speed operation without HEPA exhaust controls; and establish and maintain records necessary to demonstrate compliance with the RRP rule, it reports.
According to the Bangor Daily News, Wentworth faces fines of at least $150,000 in fines from the federal agency.

Just a short note that we changed the way the Sheriffs badge works:
Previously it required the member to report 2 or more cases of copyright infringement. Only – it was hard to track who has reported 2 or more cases.
We came up with the following solution. Every report submitted gets you deputized for 30 days. After that the Sheriff's Badge disappears…unless you made another report, in which case the 30 countdown starts again. So – its easier to get, but you can lose it as well.
We're thinking of adding some other badges but… don't hold your breath.
bye bye my sheriff's badge…
Why can't you just have if the report one once they get a badge, thats surely way easier, and keep that one, because you have helped FlashDen, surely thats your reward, and to get it removed, well its a bit ... Just an idea !
1-5 busted thieves : gray color 5-10 orange 10-50 ... ... 1000-5000 - robocop
why don't use color code for serif badges too?1-5 busted thieves : gray color 5-10 orange 10-50 ... ... 1000-5000 - robocop
good idea wickedpixel. I was thinking the same
We also need a new badge for $50 000 – $100 000 worth of items sold
Go away DigitalScience ! Haha,I'm joking, your files are great, how long have you been working with Flash?
1 Year this month… wow it has been that long
We also need a new badge for $50 000 – $100 000 worth of items soldNo we don't. Once you reach this point, you explode and die. Sorry dude, I liked you

Just joined the forum and thought I would say hello
Hello all, new member and a new owner of the GSD breed. Just wanted to say hello and tell you a bit about my 10 month old GSD Mason. We picked him up 2 days ago and have him settling in. Training has already began and toilet training is getting better.
He is very playful and my partner and I have been teaching him that we are the alphas out of the pack but I am a bit worried that my daughter isn't doing as good. Any tips as to how we can give her the advantage over mason?
Also he is very aggressive towards our cats,as soon as he sees them he starts to growl and bark any tips as to how we can get him to settle around them?
Regards Tom
Hey Tom!!! Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the new GSD!
Not everyone will peek into the introductions thread. You might get better results posting a new thread in the training section. Many great folks here that can give you stellar advice.
Oh and btw - we love pictures here! Can't wait to see your new GSD!!!
Welcome, and congratulations! My boyfriend's name is Mason. :D
Can't wait to see photos!
Welcome to the forum! There are a lot of good tips regarding GSDs and cats. We teach leave the kitty command using treats while looking away from the cat (see above link). At least you got to skip the land shark phase!
Welcome! Don't worry about the alpha thing now, just give your dog some time to settle in. If he is playful work with that to built trust and love, give lots of praise to good behavior. The cats may take a while, hopefully they will stand their ground. For now you can redirect your dog away from the cats, maybe a tab leash will help, calm him down, rub his chest, when he's calm and non reactive try giving a treat.

I would not worry about being alpha with him. Just work on building a good working relationship between him and everyone in the family. I always find this video pretty funny, but it does a good job of showing the difference between "alpha" or "dominance" behaviors that don't translate effectively from human to dog vs. just having a good trusting relationship and clear rules between you and your dog. It's a fun watch :)
Hello! I just joined today as well, mostly in hopes to network and meet fellow owners. I have a 3 year old female, Lucy, who is a joy. Bullheaded as can be but I wouldn't change her for the world. I am hoping to find another breeder in the New England area, any imput or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello again all, thank you very much for replying to my thread. A lot of great info that you guys have shared with me :) just a question I was told that assuring alpha roles was important with older pups than a younger pup? I have been just doing general training like where his zone is and stuff like that ATM. Am I starting to early with training? And I will post a photo of him once I figure out how to post them. :)Thank you again.

Papal vote preparations start in earnest at Vatican
By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Preparations for electing Roman Catholicism's new leader begin in earnest on Monday as the College of Cardinals opens daily talks to sketch an identikit for the next pope and ponder who among them might fit it.
The idea is to have the new pope elected during next week and officially installed several days later so he can preside over the Holy Week ceremonies starting with Palm Sunday on March 24 and culminating in Easter the following Sunday.
The general congregations, closed-door meetings in the interregnum between a papacy and the conclave to choose the next one, will hold morning and afternoon sessions in an apparent effort to discuss as much as possible in a short time.
The list of challenges facing the crisis-hit Church could take weeks to debate, but the Vatican seems keen to have only a week of talks so the 115 cardinal electors -- those under 80 -- can enter the Sistine Chapel for the conclave next week.
High on the agenda will be Church governance after last year's Vatileaks scandal exposed corruption and rivalries in the Vatican's Curia bureaucracy. Cardinals expect to be briefed on a secret report to the pope on the problems it highlighted.
"We should know about some things we don't have enough information about because of our work or the distance (from Rome)," Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga told Italian television.
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston in Texas, noted more than half the cardinal electors had been named since the now retired Pope Benedict was chosen in 2005 and had to find out how this most secretive of elections is conducted.
"Part of this is learning," he told journalists. Cardinals over 80 can attend the general congregations and discuss issues with the electors, but not take part in the conclave itself. Continued...

We come in all colors, but until now nobody thought to document them all in portraits. That's the mammoth task that Brazilian artist and photographer Angelica Dass has taken upon herself with her portrait project Humanae.
Her Humanae project consists of a series of portraits which are taken, analyzed, and arranged using the PANTONE color guide. By analyzing 11×11 pixel pieces of her subjects' faces, she is able to find their exact alphanumeric Pantone color, which she uses to label the photo, and then fills in the background with that same color.
What results is a fascinating chromatic inventory of every skin tone in existence — a scientific way to look at and document "colors beyond our codes."
To find out more about the project check out the Humanae webpage.

A troubling oversight has been found within New York State's sweeping new gun laws.
The ban on having high-capacity magazines, as it's written, would also include law enforcement officers.
Magazines with more than seven rounds will be illegal under the new law when that part takes effect in March.
As the statute is currently written, it does not exempt law enforcement officers.
Nearly every law enforcement agency in the state carries hand guns that have a 15 round capacity.

Following pattern in the media, CNN's King uncritically repeated McCain campaign's false attacks on Democrats
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
On The Situation Room, John King uncritically reported that "[i]n a statement, a McCain spokesman took a shot at the other party, saying, 'Americans can't afford the Democrats' liberal agenda to raise taxes, nationalize health care, cut off trade, and crush the economy under big government.' " Following what has become a pattern in the media, King failed to note the significant falsehoods and misleading claims in McCain's statement and simply read it without challenge.
After discussing Sen. Hillary Clinton's new campaign ad with senior political correspondent Candy Crowley on the April 2 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, guest host John King uncritically reported that "[i]n a statement, a McCain spokesman took a shot at the other party, saying, 'Americans can't afford the Democrats' liberal agenda to raise taxes, nationalize health care, cut off trade, and crush the economy under big government.' " But McCain's statement included significant falsehoods and misleading claims, which McCain has promoted and which the media have frequently reported without challenge. Indeed, King did exactly that, simply reading McCain's claims.
The assertion that Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama would "raise taxes" is misleading. As Media Matters for America has repeatedly noted, despite the claims of McCain and his campaign advisers, Clinton and Obama have, in fact, proposed tax cuts for the poor and the middle class. As The New York Times noted, Obama has proposed "at least $80 billion a year in tax cuts to middle-class workers, homeowners and retirees." Clinton's campaign website says that she would "[l]ower taxes for middle class families by: extending the middle class tax cuts including child tax credit and marriage penalty relief, offering new tax cuts for healthcare, college and retirement, and expanding the EITC [earned income tax credit] and the child care tax credit."
The assertion that the Democrats want to "nationalize health care" is false. As Media Matters noted when Fox News host Sean Hannity suggested Clinton was "gonna nationalize health care," the Clinton plan provides consumers with the option of obtaining government-managed health insurance; the plan does not provide for government-run health care. As Media Matters also noted, Obama's health-care plan does not require the government to manage or fund health insurance for all Americans; rather, his plan allows individuals to keep -- and pay for -- their private health insurance if they so choose, while establishing "a new public insurance program, available to Americans who neither qualify for Medicaid or SCHIP [the State Children's Health Insurance Program] nor have access to insurance through their employers, as well as to small businesses that want to offer insurance to their employees."
The assertion that the Democrats want to "cut off trade" recalls a claim by former Republican vice presidential candidate and Copley News Service columnist Jack Kemp that Clinton and Obama have "call[ed] for a halt to trade with Canada and Mexico." In fact, neither Clinton nor Obama has called for a halt to trade with Canada or Mexico. Rather, both have spoken of "opt[ing] out" of NAFTA if the agreement is not renegotiated. Moreover, Clinton's campaign website says that "[s]he will also ensure that trade policies work for average Americans. Trade policy must raise our standard of living, and they must have strong protections for workers and the environment." Obama's campaign website says that "Obama will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. He will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world and stand firm against agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement that fail to live up to those important benchmarks."
From the April 2 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
KING: Hillary Clinton is unleashing a new TV ad warning about dangers in the middle of the night. This time, she's targeting Republican John McCain and whether he could handle an economic crisis. Listen to this.
[begin video clip]
NARRATOR: There's a phone ringing in the White House. And this time, the crisis is economic: home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering. John McCain just said the government shouldn't take any real action in the housing crisis. He'd let the phone keep ringing.
Hillary Clinton has a plan to protect our homes, create jobs. It's 3 a.m. -- time for a president who's ready.
CLINTON: I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message.
[end video clip]
KING: The economy, of course, Issue One for Americans, including many Democrats still trying to choose between Clinton and Barack Obama.
KING: And, Candy, another 3 a.m. phone-call ad from Senator Clinton, but a different target this time. What's this all about?
CROWLEY: Absolutely. Well, what's -- what's interesting is that the 3 a.m. ad, as you know, against Barack Obama was all about national security. It was seen as a very effective ad by the Clinton campaign. It ran in Texas. She won, at least the primary section of Texas.
So, now they're running it against John McCain. And I think this is -- there's a double message here. First of all, she has been pounding McCain very hard on the campaign trail, as you know, saying, "Listen, he says he doesn't know anything about the economy, and it's sure showing," that sort of thing. So this now puts that ad up there.
But in addition to taking out after John McCain, as you know, it kind of elevates the race for her. She's no longer looking at Barack Obama. She's looking toward the fall, and that sort of sends a message: "Hey, who's the presidential one here? Who can beat John McCain? It's me." So, that's the message of that ad.
KING: And we shall see if it works. Still a little bit of ways to go to Pennsylvania.
Candy Crowley for us. Candy, thanks so much.
And the McCain campaign responded quickly to the new Clinton ad, saying the Republican is ready to lead on the economy, get it back on track by cutting spending and lowering taxes.
In a statement, a McCain spokesman took a shot at the other party, saying, "Americans can't afford the Democrats' liberal agenda to raise taxes, nationalize health care, cut off trade, and crush the economy under big government."
New evidence today that John McCain hasn't been able to patch all the cracks in Republican unity. Christian conservative leader James Dobson is accusing McCain of fracturing the party instead of bringing it together. This as McCain makes a list of possible running mates and presses on with his biography tour.

SAT Inside the Test
Allen High School offers approximately over 28 Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The Advanced Placement Program is directed by the College Board to allow students to take college-level course work while still in high school. The College Board develops the scope and sequence of AP courses and provides training for teachers. The examination for each course is a national standard that is used by colleges to grant college credits to those students that make a high enough score. Most colleges and universities consider students that take AP courses to be better prepared for the rigor of college courses. Over 65% of AISD secondary students participate in one or more advanced course.
Courses designated as "AP" are college-level courses. Students should expect course subject matter and workload at a college level. Students enrolled in an AP course are expected to take the College Board exam at the end of the year.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma program is a rigorous pre-university course of study for the academically talented and highly motivated secondary student. Designed and administered by the home office in Cardiff, Wales, the program encompasses internationally based standards of achievement. The curriculum is designed to provide a broad liberal arts experience for the college bound student. Each student will become proficient in language and mathematical studies and participate in an in-depth exploration of the study of human behavior and the process of educational inquiry. The program is designed to provide the student with a well-rounded, high academic course of study emphasizing the development of the "whole person." Successful completion of the course work and examinations at the junior/senior level may earn students credit or advanced placement at colleges and universities around the world.

The rapid advance in near-infrared (NIR) detector technology in the past decade has lead to a number of high-resolution astronomical spectrometers that are either in operation or in the planning stages. Precision wavelength calibration techniques traditionally used in the optical (e.g., thorium-argon lamps) are not as useful in the NIR due to lower line densities and fewer usable bright lines. The problem becomes particularly acute when using a small NIR array to observe a highly dispersed spectrum, or when attempting to achieve very high radial velocity precision with a calibration lamp. We present here an atlas of high resolution (R~ 50 000) spectra in the NIR of a uranium-neon (U/Ne) hollow cathode lamp. The large line density of stable uranium emission lines can mitigate many of the calibration challenges in the NIR. This spectral atlas was created with the Pennsylvania State University Pathfinder fiber-fed testbed instrument during a commissioning run at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. We simultaneously observed both a U/Ne lamp and an H-band laser frequency comb through adjacent fibers, enabling us to independently wavelength-calibrate the U/Ne spectrum and compare the measured wavelengths with those from a recently-published uranium line list (derived from much higher- precision Fourier transform spectrometer measurements). This atlas of U/Ne spectra in the H band highlights the density of lines and the utility of hollow cathode lamps and laser frequency combs as calibration sources for precision NIR spectroscopy.

Shelton takes top gong at CMA awards
By Chris Talbott ,AP Saturday, November 3, 2012, 12:03 am TWN
NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Winning the Country Music Association Awards' entertainer of the year is a top honor and always counted as a career high point. But for Blake Shelton it wasn't even the most memorable moment of an amazing Thursday night.
"The Voice" star took home three trophies, including his third straight male vocalist victory, but nothing compared to sharing song of the year with wife Miranda Lambert. The pair wrote "Over You," about the death of Shelton's brother Richie in a car wreck 15 years ago. He said that trophy will always have a special place in their Oklahoma home.
Shelton's entertainer win was the biggest surprise of a night full of them. Even he couldn't believe he'd won the award in a field that included Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley.
The reality, though, is Shelton capped one of the most impressive career reboots in country music history with the win. About three years ago, he was searching for a hit or a gimmick that might return him to the top of the charts, without much luck. He scored a novelty hit with Trace Adkins called "Hillbilly Bone," began a run of hits and then joined "The Voice" in a move that made him an instant celebrity outside the country world.
He hasn't sold as many records as Swift, whose "Red" just moved 1.2 million copies in its first week, or as many concert tickets as Chesney or Aldean. But his leading-man looks, wicked sense of humor, Twitter presence and mellow baritone have made him one of country's top stars.
While Shelton didn't give himself much of a shot, Lambert — who also won her third straight female vocalist of the year award — thought he fit the definition of entertainer of the year after doing a little research.
Shelton's victory was just one of many surprises during the awards. Quartet Little Big Town joined Lambert with two wins apiece, taking home vocal group and single of the year for "Pontoon." And Thompson Square's Shawna and Keifer Thompson won vocal duo of the year, ending Sugarland's five-year run in that category.
Like fellow outsiders LBT, Eric Church felt the love from the CMA's voters for the first time. He won the prestigious album of the year for his breakthrough record "Chief," signaling the North Carolina native's complete acceptance by the country music community.
The awards went off-script early, and not just for Little Big Town. Thompson Square won in a category that's been locked up by either Sugarland or Brooks & Dunn 19 of the last 20 years.
Hunter Hayes won new artist of the year, while Chesney and Tim McGraw won musical event of the year for "Party Like a Rock Star" and Toby Keith won video of the year for "Red Solo Cup."
Church helped kick off the show by combining forces with Aldean and Luke Bryan. Playing with a large American flag behind them, the trio of performers teamed up on Aldean's new single "The Only Way I Know" from his new album "Night Train" and earned a standing ovation. Each returned later to play singles, showing how large a market share they now own in country music.
Most of country's top stars were on hand at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for the celebration, with many slated to perform. Swift performed her somber new single "Begin Again" on a set with a picture of the Eiffel Tower and falling leaves in the background. She received an ovation of her own.

What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is based upon the fact that the entire body is controlled via nervous system input starting from signals in the brain cascading downward via the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. On some occasions, the spinal bones (vertebra) which protectively surround the spinal cord can misalign or subluxate creating increased pressure upon the nerve roots that pass between openings in the vertebrae. This increased pressure whether from inflammation, irritation or direct pressure may "pinch" nerve roots, thus decreasing the impulses to end organs. Prolonged pressure on these nerves causes condition states to develop and manifest, whether it be muscular or internal and may be a reason why if you are in pain in one particular location that may not be the original location. With those instances we have to look above those areas to ascertain whether there is dysfunction. This is typically corrected via spinal manual manipulation/adjustments. Spinal adjustments are high speed, low force and amplitude procedures that restore the spinal bones into their correct alignment, thus relieving stress upon the spinal nerves. Once the stress has been relieved upon the nerves, the body can naturally be restored to 100% of its healing capacity.

PITTSBURGH - The University of Pittsburgh baseball team will begin its home season this weekend by hosting the first of two Panther Classics at Charles L. Cost Field at the Petersen Sports Complex on Saturday, March 9 and Sunday, March 10.
The teams - Pitt (5-4), Youngstown State (3-11) and Manhattan (1-6) - were scheduled to begin play with a double-header on Friday, March 8, but will now start on Saturday, March 9, with triple-headers being played on Saturday and Sunday. A complete schedule of games can be found below.
The Panthers enter the weekend under the offensive leadership of Sam Parente (SR/Pittston, Pa.). Parente leads the team with a .436 batting average and 17 hits. He also ranks among the leaders in RBIs (6), runs-scored (6), and doubles (2). Also producing on the offensive end for the Panthers are Eric Hess (SO, Erie, Pa.) and Casey Roche (JR/Downingtown, Pa.). Hess falls second in batting average (.406) and slugging percentage (.656). He also leads the team in doubles (5) on the season. Roche leads the team in runs-scored (14), hits (14) and is joined by Stephen Vranka (JR/Monroeville, Pa.) to lead the team in walks (7).
Pitt is scheduled to take on the Youngstown State on Saturday, March 9, at 1:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 10, at 4:30 p.m. The Panthers own a 19-7-1 series record against Youngstown State and have won eight consecutive contests against the Penguins. Last season, Pitt outscored Youngstown State 14-1 in two victories.
The Penguins, 1-1 in neutral-site competition this season, are coming off of a 10-7 win against Morehead State that snapped their eight-game losing streak. Kris Moules (.354 batting average, two doubles, seven RBI) and Drew Dosch (.340 batting average, .459 on-base percentage, .620 slugging percentage, two home runs, eight RBI, 11 runs, 10 walks) lead Youngstown State at the plate as cornerstones to its offense.
The Panthers will play the Manhattan on Saturday, March 9, at 4:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 10, at 1:30 p.m. Pitt, 1-0 all-time against Manhattan, last played the Jaspers in 2004 and won 15-10.
Manhattan is coming off of a close series against Florida Gulf Coast that featured losses by scores of 1-0 and 3-0 and a win, 6-5. Despite their .180 team batting average, the Jaspers hold six players with one or more home runs on their roster.
Getting the nod for the first home game of the season will be Ethan Mildren (JR/Hopwood, Pa.). He leads the Panthers with 17 strikeouts and is entering the weekend with a 1-1 record and 4.50 ERA on the season. In his last start he pitched 5.0 innings and gave up six runs.
Finishing off the usual rotation will be Matt Wotherspoon (JR/Mountain Top, Pa.) and Rhys Aldenhoven (JR/Victoria, Australia). Wotherspoon will take on Manhattan on Saturday, March 9 with a 1-1 record and a 4.66 ERA and Aldenhoven will return to the mound against Manhattan on Sunday, March 10 with a 1-0 record and a 4.24 ERA.

After a UN poverty summit featuring 140 world leaders, three days of speeches, and thousands of news articles, critics had only one thing left to add: cold water.
No sooner had US President Barack Obama urged fresh energy in the campaign to haul the planet's so-called "bottom billion" out of extreme poverty by 2015, than aid groups demanded a reality check.
"In the time that President Obama stood at the podium to deliver his UN address, 30 women died in childbirth, and 66 children will have died from malaria," Ray Offenheiser, spokesman with the charity Oxfam, said.
"Those numbers will repeat every hour upon hour until the president's words are turned into action."
The eight Millennium Development Goals, launched in 2000, are an unprecedented attempt at global cooperation to slash child mortality rates, the number of people living on less than a dollar a day, AIDS, and other aspects of extreme hardship.
But with only five years to go until the deadline, the 140 heads of state and government at the UN summit in New York admitted they need to play catch-up.
UN officials estimate that at least $US120 billion ($A125.56 billion) will have to be found over the next five years to reach the eight ambitious markers. Some believe the real figure is far higher.
Nothing like that much crossed the horizon this week.
European leaders grabbed headlines with a pledge of $US1.3 billion ($A1.36 billion), while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced a $US40 billion ($A41.85 billion) health drive in aid of women and children.
But Oxfam called that $US40 million pledge a sleight of hand.
"It's clear that rich countries are putting old promises with a seemingly big price tag in a new shiny UN wrapper, rather than announcing anything new for the world's poorest people," Oxfam spokeswoman Emma Seery said. "Almost half of the cash has already been pledged elsewhere."
At ActionAid, an NGO combating hunger, chief executive Joanna Kerr dismissed the three-day UN summit as "an expensive side show" and "an avalanche of warm sentiment (that) cleverly concealed the fact that no fully funded plans of action for tackling poverty were actually announced."
Others asked whether governments at the root of misery in the world were the right institutions to implement the Millennium goals, which involve everything from improving health to infrastructure and protecting the environment.
Often the lack of basic services like electricity is caused by "discrimination and other human rights violations," Amnesty International's secretary general, Salil Shetty, said.
"In effect, world leaders are asking us to trust them, an incredible demand when we see the gap between what they are required to do and what they have delivered."
Mo Ibrahim, an entrepreneur turned anti-corruption crusader, said that crooked governments and private businesses pose the biggest threat to chances of successfully reaching the Millennium goals.
"We talk about governance in leaders but we also need to talk about governance in the private sector. That is very important," he said.
Ibrahim noted that the global financial crisis - which has driven a huge hole in funding efforts for the Millennium goals - was largely the fault of the private sector.
"The financial crisis here which affected everybody everywhere was the result of bad governance in the private sector," he said. "That's the big elephant in the word."

Undergraduate Athletic Training Admissions and Retention Requirements
Admission Requirements (effective Fall 2015)
Admissions Note
Athletic Training Education is moving to master's level, meaning that individuals wishing to become a certified athletic trainer and sit for the National Board of Certification examination must graduate from an accredited professional Masters program.
Due to the elimination of undergraduate athletic training programs nation-wide, the Spring 2018 Semester will be the last semester that applications will be accepted. Students wishing to graduate with a major in athletic training must be admitted via the selection process outlined below and provided an athletic training cohort code no later than the Spring 2018 semester and must begin the professional phase of the program no later than the Fall of 2018; no deferred applicants will be considered.
Students who plan to become Certified Athletic Trainers and can not meet the above deadlines should plan to apply to an Athletic Training Masters program, WSU offers a program(http://www.weber.edu/athletictraining/graduateprograms.html). Students should elect to major in Athletic Therapy and will be eligible to apply to WSU's Masters of Science in Athletic Training program.
|Note: After formal admission to the Athletic Training program, students are required to complete an FBI background check and drug test. The expenses, approximately $75, will be paid for by the student.
Selection Process
- All applicants will be ranked using a numerical scale on the following criteria:
- Cumulative Overall GPA
[0-4 weight in selection formula = 20%]
- AT 1500 - Introduction to Athletic Training (First Semester) grade
[0-4 weight in selection formula = 20%]
- AT 3300 Evaluation and Care of Musculoskeletal Injuries: Lower Extremities grade [0-4 weight in selection formula = 20%]
- Letter of Application [0-4 weight in selection formula = 15%]
- Strength of athletic training student's commitment as reflected in interview responses. [0-4 weight in selection formula = 25%]
- Cumulative Overall GPA
- Students receiving the highest scores in the rating process will be invited to enter the athletic training major. The selection committee is comprised of the AT Program faculty and Weber State University AT students and/or preceptors. Approximately twenty students can be chosen to enter the major each year, in compliance with accreditation guidelines concerning preceptor-to-student ratios. Selection into the AT Program is competitive and satisfaction of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
- Applicants not invited to enter the athletic training program may reapply the following year. All applicants who eventually re-apply must meet all requirements in effect at the time of application. Students are encouraged to contact the AT Program Director for current admission requirements.
- All students selected for athletic training program must provide evidence of being able to meet the Technical Standards for Admission of the program. Only those students who verify that they can meet those technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodations, will be allowed to enter the program.
Summary of Program Fees
Retention Requirements
- After students are selected into the Athletic Training Major, retention in the program will be based on the following criteria:
- Grade 'B-" or better in all athletic training major courses (includes clinical application courses).
- Grade "C" or better in all the professional knowledge and support courses.
- Students must maintain an overall Weber State University GPA of 2.7.
- Students must maintain a semester GPA of 3.0.
- Adhere to Athletic Training Policies and Procedures.
- Adhere to AT Program AT Student Handbook Policies.
- Students who fail to meet the retention criteria will be placed on probation in the Athletic Training major for one semester. If standards are not met by the end of the probationary period, the student may be dismissed from the major at the discretion of the program director. Students who receive any grade below a "B-" in an athletic training major course, or below a "C" in any professional knowledge course, and/or support course must repeat that course and receive the minimum grade or higher to remain in the major. Failure to repeat the course (when offered) will result in dismissal from the program. Athletic Training Policies and Procedures are available in the athletic training student handbook.
- Students who fail to earn a minimum grade of "B-" or higher in any clinical application or major required course will not be allowed to progress in the AT Program until they repeat the course and receive a grade of "B-" or higher. Students may only repeat a class once; failure to earn the minimum grade on the second attempt will result in dismissal from the program.
- Athletic Training Majors may NOT enroll in the on-line offerings of the athletic training courses. Students WILL NOT receive credit towards the major requirements for on-line AT courses (those which begin with notation "AT"). If a student has taken any on-line AT courses, prior to or following secondary admission to the AT Program, the student must retake those courses in the traditional face-to-face classroom setting. The hands-on skills taught in these classes are vital to the education of athletic training students.

I am looking for stuff to do to my car so that I get some more power out of the engine. I know that turbo engines are much easier to add power to and short of turbo/supercharging a NA engine, getting more power is tough.
So my car is the 325i coupe (1993). The power output quoted at the flywheel 18 years ago was 192, from what I've read around in the net, most cars only produced 160-70hp at the wheel. My question is, to what extent is that accurate?
In addition to that I've been looking at ways to increase the power of my car.
Till now I've been told the following:
ECU Remap was quoted (by the tuner's shop i asked in Cyprus) to 20hp increase
Furthermore, Ive been told to look at an exhaust manifold, however I have no idea what that will give.
In addition, i have read that new, more efficient and lighter under drive pulleys may give more power to the wheels i.e. increase the efficiency of the system so that more power actually goes to the wheels. Is that true?
I also thought about a CAI but i'm getting pretty mixed reactions to that, I've read people say the standard air box is as good as it gets while others recommended a conical K&N filter with heat shield (In this case I would love to know if anyone can recommend a system that is known to have worked.)
What else can be done? It's impossible to find anything to do to the thing i mean i have friends with hatchbacks who have millions of thing to do to them and gain quite some performance.
What i basically want is as much power as possible to the wheel, getting closer to the 200 area is what i basically want.
Any help is welcome thanks

Something trivial and maybe insignificant, but I was on a trip with a friend to a farm a while ago. She bought a couple of gourds and squashes, and I asked her what she was going to cook with them. She replied , "No, they're for decoration." For an instant, I was confused. My mind instantly associated the gourd decor with Halloween.But Alhamdulillah, I had a window of understanding opened, and a bit of stereotyping removed.I went to another farm a couple of weeks later, and on leaving, th … [Read more...]

GrowMama Roundup Part II: Easing the Heartache of the Newtown School Shooting
The country is still reeling in the wake of the Newtown, CT. shooting. The killer has been identified; he started the day by shooting his mother and ended the day by turning the gun on himself. In between, he shot and murdered twenty schoolchildren, all between the ages of six and seven-years-old. He also killed six women who worked at the elementary school, those that taught, nurtured, loved, and in the end protected the children, paying the price with their own lives.Grow Mama readers … [Read more...]

I once attended a gathering where a gentle sheik was speaking. A women raised her hand and asked, "In North America there are not many Muslims, should we move back to our home country to raise our children?" The Sheik paused for a moment and replied in a soft, kind voice, "You are not alone here, sister. Look outside; do you see the trees, plants, flowers, and all the nature? They are all souls of Allah SWT. In fact, you are the majority in this land, not the minority." To this day, his words sti … [Read more...]

There are people who are rushed into an ambulance due to a heart attack and raced through a city while sirens wail away who feel comfortable with the prospect other cars are darting away in order to allow their vehicle to swiftly reach a hospital. But, a hospital in Jutland, Sweden, discovered many heart attack victims were upset and wanted changes in ambulances. "Patients informed us that wailing sirens, engine noise, rattling sounds and noise from electronic equipment were the main stressors" in their lives. The hospital has decided that making noise on the way to doctors is simply not the best policy for these patients. Instead, they will offer heart attack patients a quiet peaceful ride with soft music as the only noise.
Personally, give me a wailing siren because it's not the noise that concerns me, it is quickly getting to the damn hospital. Quiet music is great for those who are alive, the dead know only the sound of silence.

thanks everybody. i talked to a big giant brain at the local hot rod muffler shop over the weekend who told me that I can't beat tri Y headers. they are supposed to be even better than 4 equal tube headers for torque because the cylindar that's off will help scavange the others. He recommended i stay away from flow-tech's brand due to poor quality control, and only get the doug Thorleys, which is the same thing i've heard for what to get for my 326 pontiac. Until I get $350 for the Thorleys, I will stick with the 2" Rams Horns, because the shop said it would only be $60 to change over my coming new exhaust once i buy and install the headers. Besides, I have had my old motor (same mill /different cam) up to 6300 with my rams horns and my new cam stops at 5000. I need to get a new exhaust on both car and truck and was recommended to go 2 and a half inches to the muffler (flowmaster) and then 3 inches out the back of the car. cost $450-$500!! OUUUUCHHH! Can i have a reach around with that???
thanks again for everybodies input.

Save the typ file (To do this, don't forget, before saving your modified typ file, to increase the size of the header to 174 bytes (using the combobox "Header size"))
When I said that you can add a polyline, I was talking about typ file: adding a polyline in a typ file is not the same than adding a polyline in the map.
Topo France v3 allows active routing, but the colors and the look of the polylines are the same for every activity ( change activity in Basecamp, no polyline changes...)
You can modify that by adding polylines attached to an activity in the TYP file: this can be done using TYPViewer. So , some polylines can change , depending the activity you choose. But those polylines already existed in the map.
If this GR is in the wrong place, a typ file cannot fix that.
As Mapperoni said, to fix that either you save the track of the right GR in a gpx file, either you created your own transparent map with a polyline created with this track...

Beer after work at the bar: a U.S. tradition is getting stale
By Brendan O'Brien
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - A tattooed man with a goatee shakes five dice in a black cup, slams it down on the bar and watches as they come to rest among half-full beer bottles and empty shot glasses.
"Nothin," he says in disgust as he quickly slaps down a $20 bill to buy another round of drinks, in a U.S. ritual of beer drinking after work that is undergoing a gradual decline.
"I used to get the third-shift Allen Bradley guys in the morning, but they have cut and cut jobs," said Terry Zadra, owner of the 177-year-old Zad's Roadhouse on the south side of Milwaukee.
The bar is just blocks from an industrial plant owned by Rockwell Automation, which bought Allen Bradley, a factory equipment company, in 1985.
One result of the 2008-2009 recession that reduced manufacturing jobs in places such as Milwaukee has been slower traffic at some bars, and sluggish beer sales nationwide over the past four years, according to industry analysts.
"Contrary to the myth that people go out and drown their sorrows, the truth is that beer drinkers are pretty responsible people and when they have to cut back, they're cutting back on their pleasures," said Chris Thorne, vice president of communications at the Beer Institute, a Washington-based trade group.
According to the institute, beer drinkers last year in the United States drank 203.4 million barrels, about 5 percent less than in 2008.
More concern about healthy living, stiffer drunk-driving laws and measures that ban smoking in places such as taverns have hit beer sales during the last couple of decades in Milwaukee and throughout the country. Continued...

Discover The Drouillard House in Dickson, TN
A Victorian-style mansion with four modern cabins, totaling 12 bedrooms in all
If you're looking for an impressive place to hold a meeting or a corporate retreat, consider heading over to Cumberland Furnace.
Drouillard House Event Space
The tiny Dickson County community is home to the long-standing Drouillard House Retreat and Conference Center, which features a Victorian-style mansion and four modern cabins that have a total of 12 bedrooms. The spacious property on Old Highway 48 North is an ideal setting for workshops, training sessions, company seminars or organizational retreats.
Peace & Tranquility
The tranquil setting and comfortable accommodations are inviting for groups of up to 43 people for overnight stays; the facility can accommodate up to 50 guests for meetings and seminars. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared each day in the historic mansion, and every meal is served buffet-style on the porch, if the weather permits.
The house sits peacefully in the midst of an abundance of oak and fir trees, and the property's amenities include shuttered windows, a widow's walk and a spacious wrap-around porch. The mansion has five guest rooms, and each is furnished in an authentic Victorian design.
Drouillard House has been a mainstay in Cumberland Furnace for nearly two centuries, but the refurbished mansion has only been in operation as a guest retreat and conference center since 1997. During that time, thousands of visitors have stayed overnight, and nearly 100 special corporate retreats, day meetings and company seminars have been booked in the luxurious house.

89 GM TBI 350 - Quit Running...Where to Start?
I just wanted to throw out some symptoms and get some ideas on what to look at before spending a bunch of money.
Bought C30 Step Van Nov 06 - has had history of starting ok but after 15-30 seconds the fast idle would "kick-off" and I'd have to feather the gas until warm.
I lived with it but now that its for sale and I had a potential buyer with me the other day it decided to quit on me 2 miles from my house and had to have it towed back - needless to say I lost the sale
Symptom is cranking over - would start only if foot on gas -(which shouldn't ever be needed with this type of system) and would idle once it cleaned out (was flooded at this point) but as soon as I dropped the truck in gear and try to give it gas it falls on its face and dies
Anyway, while I was waiting for the tow truck - I pulled the air cleaner and cranked the motor over - a lot of fuel was being poured down the throttle body by the 2 injectors.
With the air cleaner off I could get it running as described in above but same thing when dropping into gear it would die but I still noted fuel was still being pushed down the TB - so fuel alone is obviously not my issue...the amount and regulation must be!
Just for fun I pulled the nearest injector wiring-plug so that only 1 injector was active - then the truck started right up and idled as it should, without applying the pedal - but it would still fall on its face when putting into gear and trying to give it gas.
So - this thing is old enough the new readers don't work on them and I need to start troubleshooting. Any ideas?

PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh women's swimming and diving team finished second overall in the Pitt Invitational held at Trees Pool on Sunday. The Panthers finished the three-day event with 770 points, second behind Ohio State (1,313).
"It was rewarding to see our women fight through the final day of the competition," head coach Chuck Knoles said. "We pulled ahead of West Virginia at the end of the meet, which is a good indication of what we are capable of at a championship meet this season."
Sophomore Veronica Lee shaved two seconds off her previous season best to place second in the 200 breast at 2:16.42. Swimming alongside Lee in the finals was freshman Cam Dixon, who placed seventh overall. Freshman Sarah Zetlmeisl claimed 14th in the consolation finals of the 200 breast.
Freshman Emily Bolek was the lone Panther in the finals of the 200 fly and placed sixth overall with a season best 2:03.63. In the consolation heat, Lee placed 13 and sophomore Lauren Matevish was 14th overall.
Swimming in the 1650 free for the first time this season, Pitt claimed fifth through ninth. Junior Kelsey Herbst was the first Panther to finish, touching the wall at 17:04.07 for fifth. She was followed by sophomore Julie Harrison, Matevish and sophomore Kate Dunseith.
Freshman Dani des Tombe won the consolation finals of the 100 free with a team season-best of 51.43. Additionally, freshman Jessica Nederlanden rounded out the top 16.
Later, four Panthers competed in the consolation finals of the 200 back. Freshman Renee Deschenes won the race with a team season-low of 2:00.33. Finishing second in the consolation heat was junior Joanna Budzis (2:00.49), while freshmen Kelsey Williams and Tatyanna Sarjeant were 12th and 15th overall.
In the final swimming event of the night, Pitt's 400 free relay team finished third overall with a time of 3:26.24. The squad was made up of des Tombe, Budzis, Dixon and Sarjeant.
In diving, sophomore Leigh Waltz finished fifth on the platform board with 168.95 points. Freshman Ali Swafford claimed seventh overall with a score of 159.20.
Up next, the Panthers will host their annual Christmas Meet at Trees Pool Dec. 16-18.

Solidarity protest with young left activist Deniz in NurembergNews Nürnberg, Germany - 01 May 2012
A solidarity protest for the young left activist Deniz, who is imprisoned for violence against police, was organized on May 1st, 2012, in Nuremberg.
The protest went from "Gostenhof", after a few speeches, at about 14:00h to the city center of Nuremberg and the same way back.
Deniz is a young (17 years) left activist who got arrested because of violence against police officers at a protest in April in Nuremberg. In fact, none of the officers was injured but Deniz is still in arrest in Nuremberg. Because of this situation he may loose his oppurtunity for a job and apprenticeship. The protest of May 1st takes place every year but this year it was also a solidarity protest with Deniz.

Evaluating Clarkdale vs AMD offerings
new posts
FWIW I'm using a i5-650 I bought for $120 at Microcenters.
I can stably overclock it to 4.5Ghz (I did so for 24hrs), but since low power is my goal I have it top at 4Ghz - this make <1W diff at idle. With an GB H57M..USB3 bd two sata disks, dvd & 4GB dram, 2 fans it idles at 50-51 watts. I think the Asus offering may be slightly better.
Things to consider -
A/ Among the Clarksdales the features on the chips vary. For example the i5-661 lacks TXT(Intel trusted execution) and lacks Directed I/O (VT-d) which is very important for high performance virtualization. Read the Intel site carefully before selecting.
B/ the i5-661 has a slightly faster GPU (23% faster), and has a 14W higher TPD. I think that's a bad performance/power trade-off. A 23% boost in that GPU is like putting a turbocharger in a Yaris. A faster mediocre GPU.
C/ You can overclock the H*** out of the clarksdales. So I wouldn't worry much about the nominal clock rate. My (nominal 3.2Ghz) i5-650 has been clocked at 5Ghz for a benchmark. The GPU locks up, but the CPU works fine. Olny at 5.2Ghz it chokes.
D/ Sadly for AMD that have nothing with both good performance and low power consumption. Power implies more fans & noise and heat and a basically unpleasant PC.
So yes AMD is marginally cheaper in purchase price. You'll lose that savings to the power company over the life of the machine. AMD certainly wins some specific benchmarks solidly over intel. Read the AandNtech comparisons. If you do loads of vid encoding the AMD is a solid choice. If you can really use 4 CPUs and need this at high performance then choose AMD (the Intel comp is way too expensive).

"It will be many years before there is another player that emerges to beat his record," said Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos of Raul. "The team scores the goals but Raul has had a great career over many years and deserves all the praise that comes his way."
Raul, who is still only 31, has scored 216 goals in La Liga, 18 in the Copa del Rey and 64 in the UEFA Champions League. The other 11 goals were scored in other tournaments.
Samuel Eto'o scored both Barca goals, increasing his La Liga lead to 23, as Barcelona rallied to extend its unbeaten streak to 22 games. The tie ended a 10-game winning streak, however.
"We are a bit closer after cutting Barcelona's lead by two points but it is still going to be difficult," added Ramos. "It is not in our hands after all."

Daily Forecast for Crosses: January 14
EURJPY Forecast
The EURJPY made a significant technical move yesterday by convincingly break above the trend line resistance as you can see on my h4 chart below. This fact suggests a bearish failure and a beginning of a new bullish phase targeting 111.60 in nearest term. Immediate support at 109.50. Clear break below that area could lead us to neutral zone in nearest term and activate my wait and see mode as direction would become unclear.
GBPJPY Forecast
The GBPJPY was volatile but indecisive yesterday. The bias is neutral in nearest term but still within the context of a bullish reversal scenario with nearest target around 133.00 especially if price able to make another strong breakout above 131.40 resistance area. Immediate support at 130.00. Clear break below that area could trigger further bearish pullback but as long as price stays above 129.30 I still prefer a bullish scenario at this phase.
AUDUSD Forecast
The AUDUSD was volatile but indecisive yesterday. Overall we are still in potential big downside correction scenario after hit the all time high, but broad Dollar weakness this week and the double bottom formation may suggest some upside pullback for now and my bearish mode will be re-activated by a movement below the double bottom around 0.9800. The bias is neutral in nearest term. Immediate resistance at 1.0020. Clear break above that area would give the double top bullish scenario further validation re-testing 1.0182. Immediate support at 0.9885. Break below that area could trigger further bearish pressure testing the double bottom formation around 0.9800.

Putin To Consider 2012 Presidential Run
In a four-hour solo performance on live television, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said he will think about whether to reclaim the presidency - one of the strongest signals yet that he may run again for Russia's top office in 2012.
Putin, who also vowed that Russia would step up its efforts against terrorism, spoke during a question-and-answer show on television and radio that highlighted his dominance of Russia's political scene, according to a report from the Associated Press.
"I will think about it, there is still enough time," Putin said when asked whether he will run in the next election.
"Don't hold your breath," Putin told another person who asked whether he was planning to leave politics.
Putin added he wants to focus on his job as premier. He said he wants the freedom to make unpopular decisions without having to take electoral considerations into account.
Putin had to shift into the premier's seat in 2008 following two consecutive terms in office. Since the presidential term has been extended to six years, Putin is eligible to run again in 2012.
