Acaba was selected as a mission specialist by NASA in 2004 and completed Astronaut Candidate Training in 2006.
The College of Education at Texas Tech announced a NASA astronaut has been accepted to its doctoral program in education.
Joseph Acaba launched May 14 for a four-month tour of duty aboard the Russian Soyuz TMA-04M spacecraft as part of the team for Mission 31/32 to the International Space Station. He also has been accepted to Texas Tech's new Blended Delivery Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with Specialization in Science Education for the cohort starting this fall.
Follow Acaba's mission via Twitter and a blog both linked to www.nasa.gov/station.
Texas Tech Provost Bob Smith was delighted to learn that the College of Education has successfully recruited a second U.S. astronaut to be a Red Raider.
"When we hired our first Red Raider astronaut, Dean Al Sacco Jr., we underestimated the benefits his appointment would bring to Texas Tech," Smith said. "We understand that Dean Sacco did play a role in recruiting astronaut Acaba to Texas Tech. Also, we know that both astronauts Acaba and Sacco have a passion for education of youth in science, engineering and technology. Our collective hope is that our Red Raider astronauts will be reaching greater numbers of young learners as astronaut Acaba joins us and progresses in his program."
Acaba will take classes online in his own personal time after he returns from the mission, said Walter Smith, Helen DeVitt Jones Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction and advisor for the doctoral program. The nature of the online classes allows for flexibility.
"Joe has outstanding experience as a science teacher and seasoned astronaut," Walter Smith said. "He's joining a cohort of exceptional educators who already possess exemplary science education credentials and will make a difference in the world as a result of their Texas Tech doctorate."
Acaba has a passion for education of youth in science, engineering and technology.
Raised in Anaheim, Calif., Acaba earned a bachelor's in geology from the University of California-Santa Barbara in 1990 and a master's in geology from the University of Arizona in 1992. Acaba was selected as a mission specialist by NASA in 2004 and completed Astronaut Candidate Training in 2006.
Juan Munoz, Texas Tech's vice provost for Undergraduate Education, vice president for Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement has known Acaba for more than 25 years, as a schoolmate, a U.S. Marine, a teacher, and now NASA astronaut.
"In every aspect of his life, Joe has distinguished himself," Munoz said. "I am not surprised that he has carefully selected Texas Tech to begin this new chapter of his life, at one of the country's great public research universities. We are proud to welcome Joe to Texas Tech, and the Red Raider family."
Acaba's space flight experience includes STS-119 Discovery (March 15-28, 2009), the 125th shuttle flight, the 36th flight of Discovery and the 28th shuttle flight to the International Space Station. He accumulated 12 hours and 57 minutes of extravehicular activities in two spacewalks. STS-119 landed at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, having traveled 202 orbits and 5.3 million statute miles.
Acaba is a member of the International Technology Education Association, the Florida Association of Science Teachers, and the Association of Space Explorers.
The College of Education at Texas Tech University offers a full range of programs, including eight doctoral degrees, 12 master's degrees and two bachelor's degrees with numerous specializations leading to careers in public or private education as teachers, professors, administrators, counselors and diagnosticians.
Programs in the college are housed in two departments. The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers undergraduate programs leading to initial teaching certificates and graduate programs in bilingual education, curriculum and instruction, elementary education, language literacy and secondary education.
The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership offers graduate programs in counselor education, educational leadership, educational psychology, higher education, instructional technology and special education.Facebook

Old Skool – MOD4WINDave Schmid | August 31, 2007 | 12:25 PM
I came across my first set of "MOD" files while I was working at Radio Shack back in my high school days. Guess that makes it around 1991 or so… While I could go into more details here about what MOD files are – I'll let you peruse Wikipedia for more information. During those days I learned about what PC computers could do (I had only been using an Apple //e at the time) and did have some "down" time to use our "free" AOL accounts.
It was the time of Demoscenes and files that could only be downloaded with a 2800 baud modem. Life was grand! (I couldn't keep the second phone line tied up for very long since it was our fax and credit card line!) So after spending more than enough time learning the Tandy Sensation! – I had a pretty decent collection of tunes that I'd record to cassette tape (GASP!) and then later to my first audio CDs (thanks to my trusty Zeos p90!! – I can't believe there's even a Wikipedia article for those!! LOL – The Pantera!!) The playback enjoy of choice was… MOD4WIN!
How beautiful. Sure does bring back the memories, doesn't it? Well – it's no longer around as the format has really fallen out of favor and is basically deemed a memory of old. Broadband, MP3 and almost unlimited computing power puts these types of files as pastime of the ages for most. There were a lot of good songs generated back then… The lost art will hopefully still have fans to keep the music alive…
As much for nostalgias sake more than anything – you can still run this application on Windows XP and older systems. Not sure about Vista but I can't think of a reason it shouldn't. While I actually purchased a version of this years and years ago (one of few Shareware programs I thought worthy of my hard-earned High School wage earned dollars) – you can download the last version (2.40 Beta) for free.
Download – MOD4WIN – Version 2.40
Grab it and enjoy a few songs. Now to be fair – development stopped before other MOD formats arrived… So it can't play files like .IT – you'll need some other tracker players to do that… (I still use Winamp for playback since it's so easy…)
If you are new to the format – I've included a few of my favorite tunes for you to enjoy as well (as original module files and easy to digest MP3 formats). Take a few for a spin and then search the remaining sites for more music… (Such as The Mod Archive and The Digital Music Archive)
For a few of my favorite tunes:
!Cube – Scotchman In A Skirt – XM format –Whiskey, bagpipes and a skirt, all that a Scotchman needs…
Purple Motion / Future Crew – When The Heavens Fall – S3M format – One of my all time favorites in a synth laced ambient tune…
Or by MP3 format below:
Best wishes MOD4WIN…
(BTW – I found the old MOD4WIN Web site as well…)

Gamerscore Milestones
By CharlesAlanRatliff 11 Comments
I was going through old files on my computer and came across some pictures I had taken when I reached a certain number of Gamerscore. This first one was taken when I reached 20,000 Gamerscore on December 21st, 2008. I had played various Xbox Live Arcade titles in an attempt to get the number just right -
It was 246 days later on October 14th, 2011, that I reached 50,000 Gamerscore. I had originally planned to get it with my brother while playing Gears of War 3, but my score reached 49,990 on October 7th, and it wouldn't have been possible to land on 50,000 if we kept playing. I somehow reached 49,995 (I can't figure out how) and tried playing Comix Zone and Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting to get the last of the points, but needed something faster that wouldn't push me over 50,000. I then looked at Game Room's achievements and remembered that I never changed a theme in my arcade for 5 points. My brother disapproved of my method and thought it was cheap, but achievements are achievements, and I needed that perfect string of zeros.
Has anyone else kept track of their Gamerscore? What's your latest milestone? I hope to one day have a thread for 100,000 like Jeff did a couple of years ago. I don't think that will be during this generation, though.

Today is the day!
Ms. Charm's Chic is 3 years old!
Over the last three years, I have been able to connect to so many amazing people within the Baltimore fashion scene.
I am so thankful to have such lovely loyal readers that come back to
read more about the stylish city of Baltimore on Ms. Charm's Chic.
I could not do anything without you all.
Here's a quick message to you all:
I am so thankful for everyone that supports, follows, or just stumbled on to Ms. Charm's Chic. It is so nice to know that there are people out there that love what I write and what I cover.
Over the years, I have been able to attend fashion events, visit local boutiques, meet fashion stars in Baltimore and interview Charm City talent. I am honored that Ms. Charm's Chic is a modern day journal for documenting the Baltimore fashion scene.
Even though, some of my friends call me the "Susan Lucci of Baltimore Fashion Bloggers" (because I have been nominated for a few local awards, but I do not seem to win. However, my friends believe I should have won).
I am going to keep blogging no matter if I win an award or not. I have support from my readers and that's enough of an award for me.
As I enter my third year of blogging , I hope to expand Ms. Charm's Chic in many ways!
Happy Birthday, Ms. Charm's Chic!
Paulette W. (Ms. Charm)

Man recovering from icy Niagara Falls plunge
By Frank Pingue
TORONTO (Reuters) - The man who survived a plunge over Niagara's Horseshoe Falls and spent about 45 minutes naked in the icy waters below is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery, Canadian police said on Thursday.
The man, who was swept over the roaring 51-meter (170-foot) falls on Wednesday after jumping into the Niagara River, was treated for hypothermia, shock and cuts to his forehead.
He is just the second person to live through an unaided, intentional plunge over the cataract.
"The male is conscious and he has been upgraded to a stable condition, and doctors are telling us that he is expected to make a full recovery in the near future," said a spokesman for the Niagara Parks Police.
The spokesman said police have closed their investigation and concluded that the Canadian man -- initially identified as an American tourist -- was attempting suicide and no charges will be pressed.
The man resisted efforts to be rescued and was naked when he was pulled from the frigid waters below the falls in front of hundreds of tourists. Police said the man was dressed when he jumped in the water but that the force of the powerful waterfall is enough to strip the clothes off someone.
Niagara Falls is made up of three waterfalls: the main Horseshoe Falls and American Falls, and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. They span the border between Canada and the United States. The Horseshoe Falls sends about 675,000 gallons of water over the edge every second.
In 2003, a U.S. tourist survived an unaided plunge over the Horseshoe Falls, also in an attempted suicide. He eventually joined the circus as a stunt man. Continued...

At least two featherweight fights will be on Dream's New Year's Eve extravaganza.
Featherweight champion Hiroyuki Takaya vs. former Shooto titleholder Takeshi "Lion" Inoue and Tatsuya "Crusher" Kawajiri vs. Kazuyuki "Little Hercules" Miyata will take place at Dec. 31 in Saitama, Japan, Dream announced Thursday. They're the first two matchups unveiled for the card, which Dream is co-promoting with the Inoki Genome Federation organization of pro wrestling elder statesman Antonio Inoki.
Takaya will attempt his second defense of the title he won in December. He defeated Miyata in July.
That card four months ago also saw Kawajiri submit former champion Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen. The victory for Kawajiri was his first bout at featherweight after several years fighting at 154 or 155 pounds.
Miyata continues to compete for Dream despite his unhappiness with the organization's co-promoter, Fighting and Entertainment Group. A former Olympic wrestler, Miyata recently told MMAFighting.com that he is one of several fighters owed money by FEG.

Newberry Police Department
Last year Newberry City Commissioners offered $137,000 to cover the MSTU fee.  This year, they're willing to pay over $600,000 for an independent law enforcement unit.
City manager Keith Ashby says they're willing to pay the county $616,000 for five Alachua County Sheriff's Deputies to patrol Newberry 24/7. "We need some increased security, so we believe this is the answer."
That answer is about $200,000 more than the MSTU fee... the deputies would work exclusively in Newberry.  Alachua County Manager, Randall Reed, says that sounds fair. "If the sheriff wishes to have this additional number of officers, the five officers, to serve Newberry, Newberry should certainly pay all of that amount."
Sheriff Sadie Darnell was not available to discuss her negotiations with Newberry, but Reed says if an agreement is met, it could be a mutually beneficial situation. "Anything that brings equity to the situation is something that we're interested in seeing happen."
And Ashby says it's definitely a win-win situation... in emergencies, the sheriff's office would have that many more deputies and that much more equipment. "It does give us an independent police department which is ultimately an asset to the county because they will be deputies from the sheriff's department."
Following negotiations with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, the Newberry City Commissioners will have to give their final approval.

I suffer from hyperhidrosis, and bought a few products that prevent hand perspiration. This product is really amazing because it works okay on both wet and dry hands. The medicinal smell goes away after a few moments, as well as the tackiness. The product does takes the longest for the sticky feeling to go away, but it is well worth the wait.

Ironically, I feel exactly the opposite about Tite Grip. Pole moves make me nervous so my hands get sweaty and this helps me to stick better than anything else I have tried. If you have sweaty hands, Tite Grip is better than Mighty Grip. I don't have a problem with the smell at all. At first it smells like mint, but it oxidizes some on your hands and will have a slight metallic smell. It's not enough to bother me.

Beitar Illit
Beitar Illit is one of the most western towns in the Gush Etzion Block and was established in 1985. It is located about 10 Kilometers south west of Jerusalem. Today with the Blessing of G-d it is a flourishing city. It is surely unique among them. One passing through thought to himself afterwards that this community should have a sign saying, "Holiness to Hashem"
This is an ultra orthodox community. The 32,000 people who live here are dedicated to the Torah and the Traditions of our fathers. They observe the laws of family purity and strictly follow Halacha. The ruins of the ancient Jewish city of Beitar is only a kilometer away.
Those who are like-minded can find a Torah paradise where everything and everyone is Kosher. The town is an object of beauty. Obviously a blessing from HaKodesh Baruch Hu. The town is incredibly secure and crime is almost non-existent. Here Torah is King.
At last count their were 26 schools and Yeshivas. What more can be said about this community. Come and have a look for yourself and say out loud to them, "How Lovely are your tents O' Ya'akov."
As said already every one is religious and about 15 percent of them are English speaking. For the English there is an English speakers support group as well as an English speakers shul. Also Classes for men and women can be found here in English. Here every child goes to religious schools. There are 2 Yeshivas and a girl's high school.
There are health care facilities in the town and of coarse all the food stores sell only Kosher food. Baruch HaShem. One can find an Ashkenazi, Sefaradi and Chassidic Rabbi in the town. This boys Torah Talmud school you see below teaches the ways of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Feel free to direct Tzedakah toward this new emerging school.
Below is a Beit Ya'akov which is a girls high school.
Another sign they have been blessed is that this town has the highest birth rate in the country. So if you Love children this may be your place.
Beitar Illit is an outstanding city which has won awards
for balancing its budget 7 years in a row. It has been recognized for its beautiful
design and won awards for being a clean city. Its a real oasis of goodness for Israel's
Haredi community.
Beitar Illit is an outstanding city which has won awards for balancing its budget 7 years in a row. It has been recognized for its beautiful design and won awards for being a clean city. Its a real oasis of goodness for Israel's Haredi community.
There are excellent places to shop in Beitar Illit! It has groceries stores full of good delicious fresh food grown in Israel.
Beitar Illit is just another nice Israeli City. Who wouldn't want to live here? A safe city with parks.
Today you have seen with your own eyes another excellent city.
So When Are You Coming Home?!
"Those who trust in HaShem are like Mount Zion, which cannot be
moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so HaShem
surrounds His people, from this time forth and forever." Tehillim.125:1-2

Goodbody Family
The Goodbody Family was one of the many prominent families that lived in the Shire. The Goodbodies were connected to the Baggins Family through Bilbo Baggins's great aunt Lily, who married one Togo Goodbody.[1] They were also connected to the Bolger Family; Cora Goodbody married Rudolph Bolger.[2]
Among the family trees in Appendix C to The Lord of the Rings, their descendants are summed up in just two words: 'Various Goodbodies'.[1] Bilbo acknowledged the connection at his famous Farewell Party: we know that at least some of the various Goodbodies were present at that feast.[3]

when do you need to use the octet rule for lewis structures and when does it not apply
i am confused for N2O4
i cant get the rules to work with the structure
My general rule is that one ALWAYS tries to make the octet rule work EXCEPT in a limited number of cases.
i)uneven number of electrons which certainly precludes the octet rule.
ii)elements such as H that can have only two electrons.
iii) elements such as B and Be (many compounds of B have just six electrons and many compounds of Be have just four electrons.) I will try to find an electron dot structure on the web. I shall post it if I can find one.
The number of valence electrons in the entire molecule is 2x5 for the two nitrogen atoms and 4x6 for the four oxygen atoms.
Total # of valence electrons=2x5+4x6=34 electrons or 17 electron pairs. We link the two N's together by a double bond (two shared electron pairs). Each N is linked to two O's by single bonds. So far each N has four electrons pairs around it. If we place three unshared electron pairs on each O, we have used up 34 electrons and all atoms have an octet.
Why doing all this? Because it works: We have used the correct number of valence electrons in linking the six atoms, and every atom is surrounded by an octet. The primary rules are counting the valence electrons correctly, and placing four electron pairs (shared and unshared) around each atom. Exceptions to the Octet Rule are rare. It would take too long to describe and explain them here.
Can I not count? I count 36 that way.

Use the bank building for a museum
We have the Museum of Art. We have the Space and Rocket Center. We have the Train Station, but we do not have a museum that is striictly about Huntsville. Convert this building into a 'Huntsville' museum.
Regarding East Clinton School, it isn't located in a very strategic spot for community wide use. I say sell it to the highest bidder and use the proceeds to improve existing schools. At this point, it's just an old building without any real community wide significance.

IceHogs Steal Win in Peoria 3/6/13
Third period come-from-behind wins are nothing new for the Rockford IceHogs, but at this time of the season, they seem to be just a little more dramatic. The Hogs battled back from a sluggish start to knock off Peoria 5-4 at Carver Arena.
In the third period, down 4-3, a power play goal evened the score for Rockford. Jimmy Hayes set up Adam Clendening at the right point and the rookie blueliner blasted his seventh goal of the season past Mike McKenna through traffic at 7:28.
That set the stages for another Rostislav Olesz game-winning goal late in the third period. Martin St. Pierre knocked down a clear out attempt by Peoria and fired a shot in on McKenna where Olesz re-directed in his sixth goal of the season and second game-winning goal in as many nights, this one at 17:29 of the final frame.
The IceHogs earned their tenth third period come-from-behind victory of the season, most in the AHL.
It was a rough start for Rockford on Saturday as Peoria scored twice in the first 6:19. Derek Nesbitt put Peoria on the board when he picked up a T.J. Hensick pass on the right wing and fired his team best 25th goal over the shoulder of Henrik Karlsson at 4:23.
Shortly after, Andrew Murray led a rush up ice for the Rivermen and his shot deflected to Yannick Veilleux, and the rookie making his pro debut buried his first professional goal at 6:19 to make it 2-0.
The Hogs responded at 10:25 to make it a 2-1 game. Jeremy Morin found Brandon Pirri in the slot and the center fired his 20th tally of the season five hole past McKenna. But the Rivermen retaliated 47-seconds later to restore their two goal lead when Brett Sonne beat Karlsson under the glove at 11:12.
Olesz remained hot for the Hogs as he made it 3-2 at 13:45 of the opening frame. Olesz picked up a Shawn Lalonde rebound and beat McKenna for his fifth goal of the season.
A loose puck battle in the second period put Peoria up 4-2. Anthony Nigro was able to slip his fifth goal of the season around Karlsson at 11:38 after Jani Hakanpaa's shot was blocked down.
Rockford had three breakaways on McKenna in the second period on Saturday and St. Pierre was the only one to convert. St. Pierre was sprung by Ryan Stanton and beat McKenna over the glove at 14:21 to make it a 4-3 game at the second intermission.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends higher, helped by banks and energy shares
(Adds investor comment, updates prices to close)
* TSX ends up 98.19 points, or 0.75 percent, at 13,150.93
* Seven of the TSX's 10 main groups rise
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index finished modestly higher on Tuesday after surging as much as 3 percent following China's decision to cut interest rates and banks' reserve requirement to kick-start economic growth.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended up 98.19 points, or 0.75 percent, at 13,150.93.
It had risen sharply at the open following Monday's global rout, as the People's Bank of China's 25 basis point cut in key rates and 50 basis points off the reserve requirement rate for large commercial banks helped global markets rebound.
The index's heavyweight financial and energy groups, up 2 percent and 1.5 percent respectively, helped steer it to a positive finish, as the price of oil recovered somewhat.
But jittery investors, knocked around by several sessions of sharp declines, were unwilling to make drastic moves. Continued...

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
This is a very nice, moist crumbcake. It got rave reviews from my husband's co-workers. I think that there was too much topping on the cake, taking away from the cake itself. Next time I wil probably cut back on the topping. Overall, very good and worth the effort.

This cake was very easy to make and very moist. My family loved it. We served it warm with vanilla ice cream.

Jack FM Listeners Get the Bird — Story at 6:36 [VIDEO] [#SAVETHANKSGIVING]
Seriously, it took an intervention from Jack's Sticker Pimps to stop News 4 reporter Bryan Shaw from gobbling up all our turkeys at today's Freebird Stick-up at the Eastern Hills Mall. The last thing we needed was for him to go into a turkey coma during the 6 p.m. newscast (we need all the free press we can get). Thanks to the Coalition to Save Thanksgiving, 50 of our listeners got the bird — a free frozen turkey. The Coalition's mission is SO IMPORTANT that it took News 4 thirty-six minutes to get to it. The mission to save Thanksgiving continues, and Jack FM won't rest until Thanksgiving gets some respect. We promise not to play Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, or until Judas Priest comes out with a Christmas album….

Italian divers pull dozens more bodies from wrecked migrant boat
By Gabriele Pileri
LAMPEDUSA, Italy (Reuters) - Italian divers recovered dozens more bodies from a sunken migrant boat on Monday but struggled to free more corpses trapped inside the hulk before night fell.
Over 300 people are feared drowned after the packed boat caught fire and capsized just 1 kilometer from their destination, the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, last week.
It was one of the worst single incidents involving economic migrants and refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean from Africa in search of a new life in Europe.
Search teams on Monday pulled 38 more bodies from the wreck submerged in more than 40 meters of water, bringing the total number of bodies recovered to 232.
"Some we have found with their arms outstretched. We try not to notice this kind of thing too much, otherwise the task is too difficult," said police diver Riccardo Nobile. "We can see a woman's hair floating out of a broken porthole. But we haven't been able to get to her."
The divers are only able to remain at the sea bed for a few minutes at a time and the work has been slow. All the bodies from around the ship and on deck have now been recovered, police say, leaving dozens still inside the vessel.
"I'm sure that the most difficult part of the operation is starting now," said Coast Guard diver Rocco Pilon. "Technically it will be much more challenging."
Officials said stormy conditions were expected overnight, but authorities still hope to continue the search on Tuesday. Continued...

Reflections of the Day
Sandy Wadlington
Pastels, Drawings and Color Woodcuts
September 27 - December 7, 2013
The Chapel Art Center is very pleased to host this exhibition of works by Sandy Wadlington. As a New England-based artist with formidable artistic roots (she is a descendant of the pioneer American landscape painter Alvan Fisher), Wadlington has marked her own path with the hands-on media of pastel, caran d'ache, and color woodcuts.
Her versatility makes for a remarkable range of visual effects. Suffused with light and a quality of naturalism, her works are utterly faithful to the American landscape tradition. Modernist in their patterned simplicity, they also capture the stirring sensations of passing moments. Always gentle and serene, they bear the watchfulness of an artist at home with the vast beauty of her surroundings.
This is the third in a series of landscape exhibitions covering a range of traditions and styles, which has allowed us to explore the enduring traditions as well as the more innovative practices associated with American landscape painting. Reflections of the Day presents a most pleasing selection of purely contemporary scenes, affirming the ever-present appeal of the artist's point of view.
Sandy Wadlington is represented by McGowan Fine Art, Concord, N.H.

Senate Democrat Women Pushing the Minimum Wage Issue
All the Democratic women in the Senate gathered together to help push for an increase in the minimum wage.
With Senate Leader Harry Reid still a few votes short of what he'd need to pass an increase in the minimum wage the Senate's Democratic women say they'll take the lead in pushing the issue, because 2/3 of minimum wage workers are women, many working full time to support children but still living in poverty.
"We must do it for the millions of women who are struggling to make ends meet," said Democrat Barbara Boxer.
Republicans generally oppose raising the minimum wage, saying it would reduce employment.

Father Don Kocher
Father Don was raised in Naperville on a 250 acre dairy farm located at Route 59 and North Aurora Road. He is the eldest of six boys and four girls. Father farmed with his dad for three years after high school. In 1951, since he was about to be drafted, Father Don enlisted in the U.S. Air Force for four years. That tour of duty took him to New York State, Texas, Illinois, California, Greenland and Guam.
Upon his discharge Father attended the University of Illinois--Champaign for two years in the College of Engineering, after which he finally succumbed to a call that had haunted him during his Air Force years. In June of 1957 he began a six year study for the priesthood in the Diocese of Joliet at Conception Abbey in Missouri.
Since his ordination in 1963, Father Don has served in three parishes as Parochial Vicar and in four parishes as Pastor. Now retired, he had been blessed with the chaplaincy for 120 developmentally handicapped men at Good Shepherd Manor in Momence, Illinois for the five years preceding his arrival at St. Joan of Arc as senior priest in residence. Father believes he has now been called to offer the abilities the Lord has given him to the people of St. Joan of Arc parish. He appreciates the warm welcome he has been given and hopes that parishioners will continue to feel the same way throughout whatever time God grants him at the parish. Father Don wants parishioners to know that he will be praying for them each day and asks that they do the same for him.

discretionary and there is a table of payment which I am entitled to 12 weeks full pay with 4 yrs contiuous service which I have 10yrs and no issues and clean record aswell
I have been paid full sick before but only probably a week all for the last year and 1 full week when I had serious illness in 2006 with shingles

Samsung announced its latest flagship phone Galaxy S4 with high end processor, display and host of new features. Since Samsung decided to retain almost the similar design of Galaxy S3 released last year, many first reviews termed the device as non-exciting and lacking the wow factor although it packs the best hardware. Moreover Samsung isn't known for its build quality for high end smartphones with high use of plastics.
HTC had announced it latest flagship phone back in February before the MWC 2013 and will compete directly with Galaxy S4 in the Android segment. Further HTC one has one of the best camera in the form of ultra pixels with amazing low light performance. So does HTC One beat Samsung Galaxy S4? No, there are many areas where Samsung Galaxy S4 really excels, we will have a look at them.
Related Reading: iPhone 5 vs HTC One vs Samsung Galaxy S4- Specs Comparison
5 Features of Galaxy S4 which beat HTC One:
1. Wireless Charging:
Although wireless charging is yet to pick up in full swing in phone with wireless charger being costly, this is one feature of 2013 and HTC One lacks this. When you own a high end phone, you might want to have the best features as well. Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with wireless charging built it, so you can use any Qi compatible charger with S4.

2. Removable Batteries:
This is one really good aspect of smartphones, removable batteries. Since S4 features removable battery, you could carry an extra battery for long trips and replace it with the original battery, which is not possible in HTC One. Along with this S4 also packs a 2600mAh battery, so S4 is a clear winner here in terms of battery.
3. Android:
One of the major concerns about OEM Android phones is the lack of proper updates, it takes long time for OEMs to roll out Android updates, while Nexus devices get it first. S4 comes with the latest OS, 4.2.2 while HTC One comes with 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Although HTC has promised 4.2.2 for One, we are not sure when that happens.
4. Expandable Storage:
This is again one of the important features if you want to have more storage of your phone. HTC One does not support expandable storage, but S4 has support for microSD card support which can be increased by 64GB. So if you want more storage space, then S4 is for you.
5. Speed of Updates Rollout:
When a new Android version is released, Samsung is much more faster than HTC when it comes to releasing updates. So if you want to get the latest Android, then probably Samsung is better than HTC.
So what is your take? Which is better Android smartphone?

It's red everywhere: red paints dripping on the floor, red color splashed on the wall, red dust in the air. This is China's "Christmas village" in the southern town of Yiwu, Zhejiang province, thousands of miles away from the North Pole.
The current meme of reinventing red propaganda posters is part of this sub-culture of retro arts.
While most beggars beg to survive, some entrepreneurial beggars in China have turned panhandling into a low-cost, high-yield business.
Today, welcoming slogans targeted at freshmen go extremely personal
Posing after movie and TV show posters, students from Shandong University (SDU) put on a show for a wider audience.
While its meaning is open for interpretation, the original pose was actually from a 2010 group dance performance titled "The Vow" by dancing students from China's Hunan University.
iFeng.com, website of Phoenix TV, a pro-Beijing TV broadcaster based in Hong Kong, featured a total of 6 comic strips of Xi Jingping: Uncle Xi's Cartoon.
Most of the posts on his Weibo pages consist of a picture of some real-life scene, in which a hand-drawn girl with specially designed outfits and gestures catered to each scene is photoshopped in.
The song is said to be "simple and low key" and "full of passion and positivity." Enjoy the music video!
Earlier this week, an eager Chinese mom bought a whole page of ad on Chinese Melbourne Daily to post a letter to her oversea son, calling him to go home.

When Sir Bradley Wiggins won last year's Tour de France, and Sir Chris Hoy secured his sixth Olympic gold medal, Great Britain's elite cyclists won a permanent place in the nation's heart. But it's not just these outstanding athletes who can excel at – and enjoy – riding a bike; people of any age, ability and location can embrace the sport.
Creating a range of ways to get people on their bikes, Sky Ride is a collaboration between Sky and British Cycling. From organising big, traffic-free events in towns and cities to offering an easy-to-use website for people to make contact with other local cyclists, Sky Ride offers something for everyone. So far, the programme has encouraged more than a million people to cycle regularly, and Sky and British Cycling are committed to getting even more people on their bikes, supporting cycling from the grassroots up.
"I've been involved since Sky Ride first started," says Sir Chris Hoy, the most successful Olympian Britain has ever produced.
"As long as you can ride a bike, Sky Rides are suitable for all ages and abilities. If you're riding in groups you ride with different people and get a chance to chat with them along the way, and it's a great thing for families."
British professional track and road racing cyclist – and London Olympic Games silver medalist – Lizzie Armitstead agrees that cycling is a sport for all: "This is about people of all abilities just enjoying cycling. It's not always about competing. And I have met so many people through cycling at all levels."
Hoy and Armitstead agree that summer is the perfect time to start cycling. "You can get out when the days are longer so you don't need to worry about lights on your bike," says Hoy. There are four fantastic options available through Sky Ride to get you started.
Sky Ride City events are large, organised, traffic-free rides. "There's a good sense of community," says blogger Paul Hooker (imwellconfused.me.uk), who took part in Sky Ride Milton Keynes. "If anyone had an issue we would stop and help. The level of respect for others on the route was amazing." The Sky Ride gave him a new perspective on Milton Keynes: "I discovered the City Park and many other great areas away from the usual visitor spots."
If you're looking for a small-scale route into cycling, Sky Ride Local rides are led by British Cycling ride leaders. Abbie Orton, a project manager at the University of Plymouth, is a qualified ride leader. "We have everyone from kids with stabilisers to riders who are coming back after ill health or injury. It's a friendly bunch," she says.
Orton fell in love with BMX biking as a child, and qualifying as a Sky Ride leader has given her a new appreciation for the sport. "I love motivating people and introducing children to cycling. If people don't feel confident at first, we can support them, and we split the group according to ability so you can ride at a comfortable pace."
If meeting new people is your motivation, join or create your own social cycling group. Janet Saville runs Quest Adventure, an independent bike shop in Worthing, West Sussex. She started a group with Sky Ride to reach more cyclists in her area. "It's easy to use," she explains. "Register, then complete an online form with the details of your cycle ride. Then you can make contact with potential 'buddies' who have an interest in rides in your area. We also post details of our rides on the Sky Ride Facebook page and tweet details using the hashtag #ridesocial."
And female cyclists who prefer to ride with other women can join the Breeze initiative. "Lack of confidence can be a big thing for women," says Breeze champion Michele Radant, who works as a cycling officer for Torbay council. "Just to go out on a bike alone can seem like a scary thing to some women and childcare issues can also be a barrier.
"Breeze champions are qualified British Cycling ride leaders who provide a supportive environment for women. Nobody is ever left behind and it's an amazing way of networking and forming new friendships. We also promote female-friendly bike shops so women are able to go into a bike shop without feeling intimidated. They just want good, clear advice; lots of local, independent bike shops are brilliant at this."

Our research interests center on understanding fundamental structure/function relationships pertaining to the photophysics that govern the properties and behavior of organic dyes. We use this knowledge to develop improved chromophores for use in biophysical, biological and medical applications such as single molecule detection, fluorescent reporting and photodynamic therapy. Our approach encompasses nearly every aspect that is essential to such an undertaking including computer-aided design, chemical synthesis and photophysical characterization of target dyes.

Our group focuses on discovering and understanding fundamental relationships between molecular structure and photophysical behavior. Because of their remarkable versatility, we are particularly interested in establishing these correlations for archetype donor-acceptor dyes and their analogs. We use these findings to develop improved chromophores for use in biophysical, biological and medical applications such as single molecule detection, fluorescent reporting and photodynamic therapy. Our approach encompasses nearly every aspect that is essential to such an undertaking including computer-aided design, chemical synthesis, photophysical characterization and in-vivo application of the resulting dyes.
Over the years post doctoral fellows and other scientists have contributed to the our labs endeavors. Please see our group pages for a listing of these fellows. We have participated in collaborative research with many outstanding intramural and extramural colleagues. We particularly enjoy sharing our expertise and knowledge of dye chemistry with researchers inexperienced in that field.
Primary brain tumors account for 2-3% of all diagnosed cancers each year in the United States and are the sixth leading cause of cancer induced mortality in the adult population. Gliomas, the most common type of malignant brain tumor, are aggressive infiltrative tumors that damage the brain by disruptive local effects. There are no known treatments that are curative for this disease. Diagnosis of grade 4 glioblastoma invariably leads to death with a survival time of less than one year; methods that are palliative or which extend life by several months are considered successful. Many in the medical community believe that patients could realize significant benefit if complete tumor resection could be achieved. This objective remains a daunting challenge because the tumor infiltrates the surrounding normal brain tissue with small tendrilous colonies of neoplastic cells which are extremely difficult to detect; this problem is exacerbated by the constraint that healthy brain tissue cannot be indiscriminately resected at these tumor margins for fear of causing harm or death to the patient.
Because of the obvious importance of the problem, a variety of approaches for improving tumor demarcation are currently being investigated. In light of the great sensitivity possible with fluorescence techniques, there have been surprisingly few reports of the use of endogenous chromophores and exogenous fluorescent agents as tumor margin contrast markers; furthermore, the exogenous dyes that have been investigated for this purpose, with few exceptions, have been developed as photodynamic agents and, as a consequence, have the potential to damage normal brain tissue. With this in mind we participated in a collaborative effort with Dr. Demetrios Nikas and Dr. Peter Black, colleagues at Harvard Medical School (Children's and Brigham and Women's Hospitals), with the goal of developing fluorescent, non-photosensitizing dyes as selective tumor stains to aid the surgeon in the real time demarcation of tumor margins during resection. The successful results of that study using an intracranial glioma in a murine model were recently reported in "Lasers in Surgery and Medicine" 29:11-17 (2001).

Our primary objective in this area has been the rational development of drugs for the treatment of solid tumors and for the eradication of pathogens in whole blood. When we entered the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT), there were few systematic efforts to develop drugs from classes of compounds other than those belonging to the porphyrin family. This remains true today. Our research is based on the premise that any effort to extend and/or improve the applicability of PDT would require the use of photosensitizers that have inherently different physicochemical and pharmacological properties from the porphyrins. We chose to study the benzophenoxazine family of dyes because they possess many of the properties that characterize a good PDT agent. For example, they preferentially localize in neoplastic cells, are relatively non-toxic in the dark, absorb red light efficiently and are rapidly eliminated from the body. A key finding is that some of the novel photosensitizers we have developed inactivate tumors via a different mechanism than is operative with the porphyrins: benzophenothiazine PDT drugs, such as EtNBS, mediate the destruction of neoplasia by directly damaging intracellular organelles whereas porphyrin derivatives act by shutting down the vasculature that support tumor tissue. Thus the two approaches are complimentary and, when used simultaneously, synergistic.
In collaboration with physicians from Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine we recently demonstrated the effectiveness of the benzophenothiazine dye EtNBS against spontaneous tumors in pet cats and dogs (Clinical Cancer Research 4: 2207-2218 (1998). Below we present pre- and post-treatment photographs of Blaze, one of the successes of this study.

Many seminal advances in modern molecular biology and medicine are possible because of the availability of sophisticated fluorescent reporter compounds that, with exquisite selectivity and sensitivity, provide the means to observe structure-function relationships in biological systems. Although this use of organic fluorophore reporters is not new, it remains a dynamic and growing technology that continues to be used to solve important new problems. Currently there is considerable interest in employing this methodology in single molecule detection to study individual events in biochemicals. As is the case with any technology, the use of fluorescent probes has limitations that may frustrate the experimentalist from taking full advantage of the promise of the method. One of the most severe is the constraint related to fluorophore photodecomposition (bleaching) which sets strict limits both on the time that chromophores can be monitored and on the illumination intensity that can be used to interrogate the sample. As a consequence, researchers are often precluded from exploiting one of the most powerful tenets of fluorescence spectroscopy which teaches that the signal strength observed for a fluorophore (within limits) increases linearly with the intensity of the excitation.
Renewed demands for dyes better suited for fluorescence reporting has stimulated us to initiate a research program in collaboration with our Rowland colleague Dr. Amit Meller, a biophysicist with expertise in single molecule detection, with the goal of developing a series of improved fluorophores having much better light- and dark-stabilities, more ideal photophysical characteristics (i.e. high quantum yields that are invariant with temperature or environment) and which collectively have absorption and emission bands that span the visible and near-infrared spectral regions.

I can't get her to run, but i can get her to fire for about half a second every once in a while. I have cleaned out the carb and same problem. I can put some has down the cylinder and it does sometimes do either a loud backfire or a half second fire. I can't even push start her, and i have tryed about 3 times for 200ft at a time. Does anyone know what i could do?

Tweets turned into flood maps that could help save lives
By Megan Rowling
BARCELONA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Spontaneous tweets about major floods are being turned into a mapping tool that could be used by emergency services and disaster response teams to save lives and provide aid, Dutch researchers said.
When a crisis strikes, people increasingly find out about it from social media, as individuals and groups take to the internet to spread the word.
After the Indonesian capital Jakarta was hit by floods this February, related tweets peaked at almost 900 a minute, with a significant number including information about location and water depth, according to a joint study by two Dutch organizations, Deltares and Floodtags.
The team then analyzed the thousands of tweets - and others from similar flooding a year earlier - to derive a method for creating real-time flood maps based on Twitter messages, statistics and data on land elevation and water motion.
"This method is really fast," Deltares flood expert Dirk Eilander told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. "It can produce a map within around a minute of messages being posted."
Jakarta has some gauges that measure water levels, but there is no network that can give an overview of flooding street by street. Many tweets, on the other hand, contained detailed information about how many centimeters deep the water was at particular spots, Eilander said.
Because observations by ordinary people tend to be rough estimates, the data need to be filtered, enriched, validated and transformed into easily interpretable maps that can be used by disaster managers.
When the researchers compared their results with photographs of the Jakarta floods at more than 100 points, they found they had modeled the floods correctly in around two thirds of them and in three quarters of districts. Continued...

Shares in Domino's Pizza have been in demand recently following an upbeat trading statement and a move from Aim to the main market. But today they are under pressure on talk of a big placing of around 10% of the company.
Traders pointed out that entrepreneur Nigel Wray was the only investor with more than 10% of the company - Wray owns around 22%. The story has sent the company's shares 33p lower to 183p, a 15% decline.
Overall the market is still in negative territory, with the FTSE 100 down 74.5 points at 5592.7. A wild rumour went round earlier that Iran's nuclear installations were under attack but this has been denied. Still, it shows the febrile mood of the market at the moment.
More prosaically, poor mortgage lending figures have put yet more pressure on the housebuilders, with Barratt Developments down another 7%.
The news has not helped mortgage banks either. HBOS has lost an early gain and is now down 3.25p at 267p, below its 275p rights issue price.
But Bradford & Bingley has defied the trend, up 10% after yesterday's news of a plan by insurer Resolution to inject £400m of cash into the business.
Retailers are also unwanted after disappointing trading news from Comet owner Kesa. It fell 7.5%, and dragged down DSG International, down 3.25p at 43.25p ahead of Thursday's final results.
And the London Stock Exchange fell 50p to 819p after it missed out on a partnership deal in Qatar. The government there has agreed to sell a 25% stake in the Doha Securities market to LSE rival NYSE Euronext.

A year and a half ago, the town council allowed citizens to take a survey and one of the questions was, "Should elections be held in May or November?"
The majority replied November and that is the answer town leaders were hoping for, but it's going to take a lot of work and time to make that change.
"Whenever you switch from a May election to a November election or vice-versa, somebody is going to lose or gain some of their term. In other words, shortened term or lengthened," said Town Attorney, Douglas Napier.
The area has had a history of low voter turnout and they are hoping a new election date will improve that.
"Traditionally, there's more elections in November and it's thought that if people are going to go out and vote in November anyway, they may be more likely to vote in November for town council," adds Napier.
With the presidential election coming up, council members believe this change may overshadow contests for the town council.
"It would also be important for the town to make sure that our citizens are made aware of our elections so that they can focus not only on either the national or state level elections that would be going on but focus again on local elections," says Town Manager, Steve Burke.
If the election month is changed, people who are currently in office will serve an additional six months.
The decision on whether this change can be implemented will be discussed at the next town council meeting on October 9th.

Indian village suffers for lack of women
By Vivek Prakash
SIYANI, India (Reuters) - Nearly two dozen men building a temple in this remote farming village lay down their tools at midday and walk through the dusty streets to a shed where they are joined by another group of men -- and start eating a meal cooked by a man.
They live, eat and sleep together, sharing mattresses on the bare floor of an empty room the way a married couple usually would. All but a handful are unmarried -- a living example of India's rapidly worsening gender imbalance.
Census data released earlier this year revealed there are 914 girls for every 1,000 boys born - a sharp fall since 2001 when the ratio was 933 girls for every 1000 boys.
"I have been looking to marry since I was 15," said Vinodbhai Mehtaliya, a 23-year-old Siyani farmer.
A decades-old Indian preference for male children, who are seen as breadwinners, has led to the skewed ratio, aided by cheap ultrasound tests that assist in sex-selective abortions and female infanticide.
Siyani, in the western state of Gujarat, shows the decline. Here, some 350 men over the age of 35 are simply unable to get married -- out of a total population of roughly 8,000.
"I'm lucky I got married 20 years ago" said 42-year-old Laljibhai Makwana, who works as a diamond polisher in one of the village's small workshops. "If I was young here today I would never get married."
The absence of women is obvious in the village's bumpy, tiny lanes, where cows wander freely, especially in the evenings. Continued...

Paul Deacon is set to finish his career with Bradford after agreeing a two year contract extension. The Great Britain scrum-half has rejected overtures from other Super League clubs to stay with the Bulls until 2010, by which time he will be 32 and will have been there for 13 years.
"It was an easy decision for me, because this is home from home," said Deacon. "There were a couple of other club interested, but if Bradford wanted me I always wanted to stay here."
Deacon will miss the Bulls' Challenge Cup tie against Toulouse on Saturday as he is recovering from minor knee surgery.
Tame Tupou is poised to make his comeback in the match after recovering from a knee injury of his own. The former Brisbane Broncos wingman came safely through an outing with the reserve team last weekend.
Four teenagers are in line to make their debuts for Leeds in the Challenge Cup tie against the Celtic Crusaders tomorrow night.
Danny Allen, Ben Jones-Bishop and Joe Chandler are all 19, whilst Kallum Watkins, a centre who could turn out to be the most exciting prospect of the lot, is still only 17.
The Rhinos are delving deep into their reserves despite having Danny McGuire and Simon Worrall fit to return after injuries.
Castleford will decide at the end of next week whether to extend Dwain Chambers' trial period with the club.
The Tigers have denied reports that they are ready to part company with him now, but there is no prospect of him playing during his initial month's registration.
"When his trial period expires at the end of next week, the coaching staff and Dwain will make a decision on his future," said the club's football manager, Mick Robinson.
Warrington's prop, Paul Wood, has been told that he needs another four weeks' rehabilitation on his shoulder before playing again. The Great Britain forward needed a second operation on the shoulder after trying to make his comeback in March.
