The neighborhood of Stapleton was founded in 1836 and named for William J. Staples (1807-1883). Along with Minthorne Tompkins (1807-1881), Staples purchased the land in the northeast corner of Staten Island from the Vanderbilt family. They decided to name the new development Stapleton because Tompkins' name was already preserved in nearby Tompkinsville (named for Minthorne's father Daniel Tompkins (1774-1825), Governor of New York and the sixth Vice President of the United States).

Fox Counters GOP's Economic Case For Reform With Anti-Immigrant Falsehoods
Fox News continues to peddle anti-immigrant myths, such as undocumented immigrants are a drain on the nation's economy, even as Republican leaders recognize the economic benefits of comprehensive immigration reform.
On March 18, the Republican National Committee released a report [1] diagnosing the Republican Party's failures during the 2012 election cycle and offered recommendations to ensure future victories. The report argued for passing comprehensive immigration reform as one way to improve its image among Hispanics, saying:
[A]mong the steps Republicans take in the Hispanic community and beyond, we must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only. We also believe that comprehensive immigration reform is consistent with Republican economic policies that promote job growth and opportunity for all.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) echoed that message, emphasizing in a speech today that immigration reform would help the economy. Paul stated [2], "somewhere along the line Republicans have failed to understand and articulate that immigrants are an asset to America, not a liability." He went on to stress the point that immigrants are synonymous with hard work, adding: "Whether we are discussing hard work, respect for life or the quest for freedom, immigrants bring with them the same values that previous generations of immigrants did."
But the economic message that Fox News is projecting is one that pits immigrants against American citizens and promotes the myth that immigrants have a detrimental effect on the American economy and society. On the March 19 edition of America's Newsroom, host Martha MacCallum brought on Bob Dane, spokesman for Southern Poverty Law Center-labeled hate group [3] the Federation for American Immigration Reform, to criticize Paul and advance these nativist arguments.
First, the myth that immigrants would displace Americans and steal their jobs has been proven time [4] and time [5] again to be false. Second, Dane's assertion that "most illegal aliens are heavily government dependent" is a clear falsehood [6]. Even other anti-immigrant groups such FAIR's sister organization, the Center for Immigration Studies, have said [7] that "preconceived notions about the fiscal impact of illegal households turn out to be inaccurate."
Though Fox News has previously [8] called for a new tone on immigration, the network has continued [9] to allow anti-immigrant voices [10] on its network -- most of whom stoke fears [11] about immigrants -- and let myths and negative images of immigrants dominate its immigration coverage.

Seven years constitute a lifetime for Andrea Walther.
She's been a solid A/B student, a pregnant teenager, a high school dropout, a wife, a mother, a GED recipient, a deli worker, a rat farmhand and a restaurant worker.

Almost a year ago, I wrote about Linux MRTG configuration how-to. However, some user seems to confused with MRTG, most users would like to know – how much traffic actually generated by ADSL/Cable service provider on daily and monthly basis.
MRTG is for network monitoring and it can be use to see how much traffic your server or ADSL router actually generated, however it will not tell you how much megabytes or gigabytes the daily traffic was. For all such home user and people having dedicated single Linux box hosted somewhere remote at IDC/ISP there is a tool called vnStat:
- It is a console-base network traffic monitor for Linux (perfect tool for remote Linux box hosted at ISP)
- It keeps a log of daily and monthly network traffic for the selected network interface(s).
- It collects all data from /proc file system it means normal user can monitor traffic (no need to run vnstat as a root user)
- Easy to setup & configure
- Ease of use
Step # 1: Install vnstat
Debian / Ubuntu Linux user can install vnstat using apt-get command, enter:
# apt-get install vnstat
Step # 2: Enable vnstat
Once installed, you need to create a database with the following command:
# vnstat -u -i eth0
- -u :forces a database update for interface or creates the database if it doesn't exist
- -i eth0 : use to specify interface
Please note that it will start to collect data via cronjob:
0-55/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/vnstat -u
You do not have to install cronjob yourself; it should be automatically configure by apt-get.
Step # 3 View statistics
Display default traffic statistics
$ vnstat

$ vnstat -d

Enteral nutrition, also known as tube feeding, is a way of delivering nutrition directly to your stomach or small intestine. Your doctor might recommend tube feeding if you can't eat enough to get the nutrients you need.
When tube feeding occurs outside the hospital, doctors refer to it as home enteral nutrition. A home enteral nutrition care team can teach you how to feed yourself through a tube and provide support when you encounter problems.
Home enteral nutrition might be recommended if you have difficulty eating, but your digestive system works normally. Examples include:
Feeding tubes deliver liquid nutrition directly to your stomach or small intestine. Options may include:
Which tube is best for you will depend on your situation. Discuss your options with your health care provider.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for digestive disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for digestive disorders by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for digestive disorders.
At Mayo Clinic, a specially trained care team works with you to determine the type of enteral nutrition that best meets your needs. Your care team works to help you become self-confident and independent in using home enteral nutrition.
Your care team consists of several experts to guide and support you, including:
Your care team works with you to build the skills you need to prepare, administer and monitor your tube feedings. Your training may include learning about:
Your care team tailors your training to your individual needs. Your training may take a few hours or a few days, depending on your situation. In addition to one-on-one training, you'll receive educational materials that outline your tube feeding program.
Your care team continues to offer support and care beyond your initial training. Expect regular follow-up visits with your doctor and a registered dietitian, who serves as your home enteral nutrition coordinator. Your team stays in touch with you through the phone and online messaging. If any problems occur, your care team is available to help.
Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists are studying ways to reduce the risk of complications and improve the quality of life for people who need tube feeding.

Someone once said the minute that first bucket of dirt gets moved, all your plans go out the window. That's always been the nature of our business. And a costly one at that.
But not anymore. The Internet is changing the way we all do business on almost every level. And we're leading the way in construction with a revolutionary solution called the Trimble® Connected Site®.
Instead of crews standing around waiting for you to hand deliver updates, they'll know instantly when plans change. With Connected Controllers, you're all on the same page.
Your machines are connected, too. So you'll always know where they are, how they're being used and if they're being maintained. Studies have shown that Connected Machines alone can cut fuel costs by as much as 43%.
Back at the office, you'll be able to tell if your machines are taking too much time to warm up, if the asphalt temperature is too low at rolling time and if spots are being missed. With Connected Office, you'll know about mistakes before it's too late and you have to do it all over again.
It's a solution that says if you move dirt, you'll do it faster, more cost effectively and in the right place. That's the competitive advantage you'll have when you put Connected Controllers, Connected Machines and Connected Office solutions under one Connected Site.
Never lose sight of the site.
Nobody can be in two places at once. A Connected Office just makes it seem that way.
You're in your office. But you're monitoring everything that's going on at the site. You're managing your fleet. You're getting real time information on materials used and where it's going. You're seeing compaction data as it happens.
And if changes have to be made, you don't have to hop in the truck and waste hours getting to the site. You're in constant wireless communication with your people and your machines over the Internet.
You can even prepare 3D construction models and send them instantly. All from your office. You're saving time and money. You're eliminating mistakes and costly rework.
You're in control, because with Trimble solutions, you're connected. Some you may already own. Here's the line up.
Your machines have a lot to tell you. They just need to be connected.
They can tell you where they are and what they're doing. They can send you as-built measurements and receive GNSS corrections wirelessly over the Internet. They can check volume measurements so your grade checkers can move on to other work.
The machines can receive 3D designs from the office so operators can grade and move earth faster and more accurately.
Your machines can even tell you if they're being maintained properly. If they're taking too long to warm up, or if they're idling and wasting fuel. Machines never lie.
They already have the capability. They just need to be connected. Here are Trimble products that will do just that.
CCS900 Compaction Control System
Make sure your crews are in the loop with Connected Controller. They'll spend more time working and less time waiting.
When you sync the data between your office and your site, suddenly everyone is on the same page. A grade checker can get the design file, create new measurements and check the results with your office. He'll know instantly if they're good to go.
When designs change, the office can send them over the Internet to the controller. Your foreman doesn't have to stop everything and come see you. Or wait around for you to drive over to the site and show him. He's already got the changes.
Everyone keeps working. Productivity goes up. Schedules are met. And your bottom line stays green.
Here are the Trimble products that will get the job done.
SPS GNSS Receivers
Trimble SPS985 GNSS Smart Antenna
Trimble SPS855 GNSS Modular Receiver
Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software
Supporting Infrastructure
Contact Us. And we'll make sure
you never lose sight of your site.
When you know everything that's going on, fewer mistakes happen. Rework is reduced, if not eliminated. So productivity goes up and costs go down.
That's a powerful argument to adopt the Trimble Connected Site solution.
Just answer a few questions to get started. And never lose site of your site again.

So far, Jenelle has managed to not have to give up the baby to Child Protective Services or her mother, but I wonder how long that will last. Sure, there will be a nice little happy phase where things are good between her and her most recent baby daddy. Heck, they might even get married. That won't last though. She was boozing while pregnant, so you know she will be back on the booze and drug train before too long and she will be doing press for Teen Mom 2 and her mom will be taking care of Kaiser more and the next thing you know Jenelle will probably get arrested again and I just don't think she is ready to be a parent. She wasn't ready the first time, and unlike many of her former cast mates, it doesn't look like she has really done anything to prove she is capable now.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Excellant location within walking distance of city centre and main shopping street. Room allocated had old and damaged furniture and fittings. It also overlooked a roof at the back with the added inconvenience of hearing the water pump of neighbouring rooms whenever their bathrooms were used.
nice staff terrrible beds
The location of it is good. Since English is not very popular in Poland and the public transportation system is not that easy to foreigners to access, the location for international travelers is relatively important. This hotel locates just in front of the railway station. And that is the best part of it.
I stayed there before and found it convenient
Location, food, service Smoking in lobby allowed... view from room weak... room small but good
The city is very niceand this hotel is very close to the city center.
very friendly staff, clean rooms no
great location, relatively quiet, free cable internet in the rooms just one lift for a big, multistorey building
Attractive internal architecture in public parts of the hotel. proximity to centre of town Poorly prepared and presented food in restaurant. The schitzel was particularly poor. On checking out my credit card was debited with the amount of the bill before I had seen the bill, which I had to ask to see. There is no lift from reception to the floor with bedrooms nor was their any offer of help with heavy luggage. There are no baths in any bedrooms.
Very nice location and nice room.
Everything - from undergound parking and pretty good room to hotel's cuisine. Prefect for 3* hotel.
Perfect location in the centre of town, clean room, free internet. No elevator at the front of the building, while all rooms are on the second or third floor. Access to the rooms is actually easier through the parking because it is in the back. There was no minibar in the room. The rooms are quite small.
The Hotel was lovely and very friendly. Nothing I did not like about the hotel. The only problem was we where charged more then your website quoted us. we where quoted €159.00 but where charged €178.00.
Confortable beds, clean, modern, italian speaking reception girl, centrally located.
The hotel staff was very friendly and spoke perfect english. The room was comfortable and the hotel is new.
the hotel is to reach in 15 min on foot from the station (pkp Opole Glowny), very modern rooms, very clean, nice bathroom, also the food you can eat in the restaurant are price-quality-quantity good, the breakfast is varieted.
I would pick up restaurant for qood meals offered - lots to choose from and tasty, although pricey. Its the value for money that suffers most in this hotel. I know the SPA makes it expensive, but the rest of the offer is slightly below average. I know better 2- or 3-star hotels for 2/3rds of the price...
nice swimming pool
Very friendly staff. Nice breakfast buffet. Parking facilities in front of the hotel.
Being able to see the castle from my room, Not being able to book in till after 3pm when the train arrived at 1pm, though I did find someone out the back who reluctantly let us in.
waiting area, breakfast room, single rooms,which is box size. ,old carpets,poor quality mattresses,beds may be risk to spine ,uncomfortable sleep due to overrsize pillows..Heating isnot good -needs more blankets at cold nights.Swimming pool local peopple do not maintain hygene standards,water was not warm in jacuzzi,no soap in shower room,local user drink and spit, use at your health risk.location is out of town and no facilities near by for dining out.hotel restaurant do not provide lunch or dinner in evening-

Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century by Peter Graham
In June 1954, one New Zealand teenage girl decides to help the other murder her mother, exposing a complicated story of love, delusion, and family secrets. New Zealand lawyer Graham's (Vile Crimes: The Timaru Poisonings) well-researched book on the case that inspired filmmaker Peter Jackson's 1994 movie Heavenly Creatures is a readable and eye-opening story of 1950s Christchurch and the complicated family dynamics that produced one of New Zealand's most famous murder cases. The book explores not only the murder itself but the backgrounds of the two girls, Pauline Parker/Rieper and Juliet Hulme (now well-known mystery writer Anne Perry); their forbidden and rumored lesbian relationship; and their troubled family lives, as well as what happened after the young women were released from prison after serving "at Her Majesty's pleasure."

Some of My Best Friends Are Black by Tanner Colby
Colby (The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts, 2008) turns his attention to one of the most vexing and violent topics in American social history. With depressing persuasiveness, the author argues that we haven't achieved racial integration, because, well, we don't really want to. He looks at several social institutions--schools, real estate, advertising, churches--and finds just one faint glimmer of hope in a Catholic parish in Louisiana, a place where the separate black and white congregations, after decades of debate and nastiness, eventually merged. There is a personal dimension to most of the narrative…. Recommended reading for anyone who still thinks we live in a post-racial America.

The Dog Lived (and So Will I) by Teresa Rhyne
The #1 New York Times bestseller
The #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller
The USA Today bestseller
The tale of a dog who wouldn't let go and the woman who followed his lead.
Teresa Rhyne vowed to get things right this time around: new boyfriend, new house, new dog, maybe even new job. But shortly after she adopted Seamus, a totally incorrigible beagle, vets told Teresa that he had a malignant tumor and less than a year to live. The diagnosis devastated her, but she decided to fight it, learning everything she could about the best treatment for Seamus. Teresa couldn't possibly have known then that she was preparing herself for life's next hurdle — a cancer diagnosis of her own.
She forged ahead with survival, battling a deadly disease, fighting for doctors she needed, and baring her heart for a seemingly star–crossed relationship. The Dog Lived (and so Will I) is an uplifting and heartwarming story about how dogs steal our hearts, show us how to live, and teach us how to love.

No Biking in the House Without a Helmet by Melissa Fay Greene
Greene (Praying for Sheetrock, 1991) has written what has to be termed a truly heartfelt memoir about the foreign adoption of five children during the past decade. It was not a casual decision for Greene and her husband to add siblings to their four biological children, but the onset of empty nest syndrome and a long-ingrained delight in a full house prompted them to look outward. Her detailed descriptions of traveling to foreign countries, making awkward first adoption contact, and later discovering and embracing her children's still-living family members makes for one touching reunion after another. She resists the urge to be cloying, however, infusing each chapter with a strong dose of humor and not shying away from the difficulties presented by adopting older children. The struggle to break through sometimes stoic demeanors is tempered by the delight of her new Ethiopian children in dominating sports in a way their American siblings never could (many funny moments here). It's all one big, happy family but also a very real one. Call them the twenty-first-century Waltons, and revel in the joy they have found and brought home for keeps.

Signs and Symptoms
In most people, high blood pressure rarely causes any signs or symptoms. It's possible to have it for many years without realizing it. Often, it only becomes apparent during a routine health checkup. Rarely, even when levels are life-threatening, high blood pressure may cause only a few symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, or frequent nosebleeds.
For this reason, hypertension is known as the "silent killer," quietly increasing the risk of developing stroke, heart disease, heart attack, kidney damage, and blindness. The greater the blood pressure for extended periods, the greater the potential for damage. That is why it is important for people to have their blood pressure checked on a regular basis.

Cassie Will Now Make You Smile
"We did a big session in a studio where I built a dark set, and we started at midnight. Back then, they would rent all these sorts of big mansions. For this, they had rented one in Bel Air.
"Again, I'm just hanging out with Mick and with Keith, and we're kind of chatting. Mick just plunked himself on the couch, and I thought, 'That looks great.' They just spontaneously and naturally fell into that place.
"They might sound like they're crazy and all over the place, but the truth is the genuine artists that survive are amazingly disciplined and incredibly hardworking. Mick particularly was the go-to guy to talk to about organization. When it came to working, the guys put out 100-percent. And once we started working, they were totally present, totally cooperative. Mick is a straight shooter. Keith is a good guy to hang with, although he's less organized. He's just, 'Hey, grab the bottle of booze, party on.' But he doesn't flake. He's always there."
"We never intended to have a sexual innuendo. Carly just happens to be one of the sexier women in the world.
"That was an ongoing sequence of hundreds of shots, all in that particular outfit. The album cover was published in Time and Newsweek as one of the sexiest ones of all time, but in fact Carly was doing a bunch of yoga stretches. You can see the sequences of images leading up to that shot.
"Carly, who had anxiety going up on stage, had no anxiety in the photo session. She's very free, and she has this extraordinary confidence in herself and just loves to have fun. Sometimes I have to work on an artist to loosen them up because they're not natural performers. Not her."

Resource Workforce Center opens in Henrico
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 10/08/12
Community leaders and elected officials from across the region gathered in eastern Henrico Sept. 24 to celebrate the opening of a new resource center for job-seekers that is the first of its kind in Central Virginia.
The Resource Workforce Center, located just off Nine Mile Road at 121 Cedar Fork Road, is the first such center inthe area to serve both adults and older youth.
Members of the federally funded Resource Workforce Investment Board, which works to increase private sector employment opportunities, joined in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening and followed up with tours and information sessions led by center staff and community partners such as the Community College Workforce Alliance, Job Corps, Virginia Employment Commission, and Senior Connections.
"It's such a beautiful day," exulted James Holland of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, chairman of the resource consortium of local elected officials, as he prepared to cut the ribbon at the entrance to the center. "We're having class outside!"
In addition to serving as a one-stop job-shopping resource for the unemployed, disadvantaged adults and older youth, said Holland, the center will also assist the underemployed. "You may have a job," he noted. "But do you have a career?"
The center will help entrepreneurs as well, through a program known as resource business solutions that asks the leadership from various companies, "What do you need to expand?" Among the companies that have expressed interest in such assistance are a growing food supply company and a railroad company losing workers to retirement.
But "first and foremost," said Holland, "[the center] will offer those who come a friendly face."
Deborah Wickham, chairman of the Resource Workforce Investment Board, noted that a great deal of research has gone into locating centers where they can best serve the more than one million citizens in the area's member jurisdictions, which include the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan as well as the City of Richmond. One of three area workforce centers (the others are in Chesterfield County and South Richmond, with a fourth opening soon near downtown Richmond), the 20,000 square-foot center replaces one less than half its size on Williamsburg Road.
"Eastern Richmond and Henrico contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty in our region," Holland pointed out, "and so we are opening this center where it is most needed."
Representatives of various organizations began their tours in the reception area, which features kiosks for easy registration and space for one or more police officers on site. Among features of the dedicated space for youth are computer labs and stations for resume writing, as well as facilities housing the Resource Youth Network's out-of-school program, the GOALS Institute.
The converted building, formerly a Verizon call center, also boasts a large conference room, a resource room that can be used to access the internet for job searches, and access to printers and faxes for submitting job applications and resumes. Center staff offer job seeker services such as resume reviews, skills assessment, career counseling, mock interviews, and for individuals who qualify, intensive training that may include free tuition to local educational institutions.
"It's all about connecting people with partnerships and working together," said Holland. "It will come to fruition."
Frank Thornton of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, whose Fairfield District includes the new center, described similar visions for the site as he prepared for the ribbon-cutting. "This will be a venue of collegiality," Thornton said. "Of service to our people."
"You've heard of no wine before its time?" he asked. "Our time has arrived."
Snipping the ribbon, Holland added emphasis with a flourish and triumphantly held the scissors aloft.
"It's open!" announced Holland. "Go forth and prosper!"

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated December 13th, 2011
ADNAN OKTAR: Mistress Ceylan, you go ahead.
Ms. CEYLAN: Insha'Allah Master. Master, we have spoken about the Heaven yesterday while you were not here as you already know insha'Allah. The fact that people will have many bodies there is a great blessing as well Master, that just came to my mind.
ADNAN OKTAR: Now for instance one would want to talk to our Prophet (saas) and he would want to eat and be with his spouse as well. He would want to be with the other manifestations of his spouse as well. He would want to wander around the Heaven. He would want to run in the gardens of Heaven. He would want to drive the cars of the Heaven. Now with one body, that wouldn't be possible. Almighty Allah does not restrict his body, it would be as much as one wants; he would have as much body as he likes. And he would be wherever he likes. That is because Allah says "everything that you would ever want." There is only one soul and that soul reigns thousands of bodies. I mean it is just like our soul reigning over our two arms. For instance we feel with this arm individually and we feel with this arm as well. But one soul feels these two arms individually. For instance we perceive what we see and we do so with one single soul. That is the same with hearing. For instance the same soul perceives what we hear with our right ear and also what hear with our left ear. The same soul perceives what we see with our right and left eye. There, [in the Heaven] a person will have thousands of eyes, thousands of ears. Yet only one soul will perceive it. Masha'Allah.
Ms.AYLIN: Masha'Allah
ADNAN OKTAR : Mistress Aylin, you go on, I am listening to you.
Ms. AYLIN: Insha'Allah, and Master you have also said that people of the Heaven will be together with all the Prophets there, as one of the greatest blessings.
ADNAN OKTAR: Now, the Messenger of Allah (saas) is the sweetest of the world, first of all he is the most beloved one of the Heaven. The Messenger of Allah (saas) will be in everyone's conversation in everyone's table. That is why our Prophet (saas) will have many many bodies. He will have as many bodies as necessary to suffice the whole ummah. The Messenger of Allah (saas) will be the same in everywhere. People would love to converse with the Prophet Joseph (pbuh), his bodies will be together with the whole Muslims as well. The Prophet Noah (pbuh) as well, because everyone would love to hear his story from him, hear all those incidents. They would like to see him. There are so many things to talk about, people would want to hear Dhulkarneyn(pbuh), the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) all separately. That is because there are many many things to talk about. These are the actual matters in the Heaven. People would not be interested in newspaper items, not the news items on the television but those will be very much enjoyed. It would also be possible to see the images of these incidents in the Heaven. For instance one would like to see how they built that palace and Allah will show him. When they want to see the people of Hell, they will see the people of Hell. Or if he likes to see an act he did while he was in the world, he would be seeing that as well.

Kansas State Roughed Up by No. 1/1 Baylor
Kansas State Roughed Up by No. 1/1 Baylor
March 9, 2013
Final Stats | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
DALLAS, Texas – Playing its fourth game in seven days with just seven healthy players, Kansas State was unable to keep up with No. 1 Baylor on Saturday afternoon, losing 80-47 in the quarterfinals of the 2013 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championships at the American Airlines Center. This was the second meeting between the teams in the last six days.
K-State (15-17) was paced by Brittany Chambers with a game-high 21 points and while pulling in seven rebounds. In the two Big 12 tournament games, Chambers registered 41 points and 16 rebounds.
This was Chambers' 30th game this season in double figures and the 104th of her career. Chambers improved her school record for points in a senior season with 648 and ranks second in school history for points in a season for all classes. Chambers improved her career point total to 2,026 career points.
The effort was her 36th career game of 20 or more points and her 18th this season. The 18 games with 20 or more points are the most by a Wildcat in the Deb Patterson era.
Baylor (30-1) featured a balanced attack and was led by 2013 Big 12 Player of the Year Brittney Griner. Griner finished with 19 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists and three blocks. Joining Griner in double digits were Destiny Williams with 20 points and seven rebounds off the bench and Odyssey Sims with 10 points and seven assists.
The Lady Bears raced out to a 37-9 first half lead with under six minutes to play. The Wildcats called four timeouts during the early run by Baylor. K-State connected on three 3-point field goals, but were 0-of-7 from inside the arc.
K-State would score nine points in the remaining six minutes of the opening stanza to trail Baylor, 45-18, at the half. The Wildcats shot .208 (5-of-24) from the field in opening half, which was its lowest output since shooting .185 from the field against Iowa State on Feb. 23. Baylor shot .677 (21-of-31) from the floor and held a 30-0 edge in points in the paint in the first frame.
Baylor would keep the Wildcats at bay for the second half, carding a field goal percentage of .484 and never letting the lead creep below 25 points.
For the game, K-State shot .355 from the floor and were forced into 13 turnovers. Baylor outscored K-State 54-8 in the paint and capitalized on the K-State turnovers with an 18-3 edge in points off turnovers. The Lady Bears dished out 29 assists on 36-of-62 shooting (.581).
For the afternoon, K-State was 12-of-36 from beyond the 3-point line. The Wildcats have now made five or more three-point field goals in a game 30 times this season, including a current streak of 26 straight games. The 12 made three-point field goals improved the school record for three-point field goals made in a season with 279. The mark ranks fourth in Big 12 history.
Kansas State will now wait on the selections for the 2013 Postseason WNIT. The field for the Postseason WNIT will be announced on Monday, March 18, following the announcement of the 2013 NCAA Tournament field.

Hybrids produced new species, according to a report in New Scientist, 16 August 2003, p12. A team of scientists led by Loren Rieseberg of Indiana University, Bloomington USA studied the genes of five species of sunflower and came to the conclusion that three of them were hybrids descended from the other two. The "hybrid" species grew in harsh dry climates in salty soil and appeared to have features that the parents did not have, such as more succulent leaves and decreased salt uptake.
To test the theory that hybridisation produced the different characteristics scientists crossed the parent species and then backcrossed the resulting hybrids with the parent species twice. The resulting offspring showed many characteristics of the wild species that grew in harsh environments. Evolutionary scientist Michael Arnold of the University of Georgia commented "It is a very significant finding. It tells us that hybridisation can lead to new ecological forms."
Editorial Comment: The genes for decreased salt uptake and the ability to make more succulent leaves already existed amongst sunflowers. Natural cross pollination (Hybridisation) simply redistributed genes so that some plants received a combination that allowed them to grow in a harsher environment. As some of the hybrids were fertile they could then reproduce and survive in this environment where the others could not, so they are technically a new species. However, two points need to be made:
1. They are still Sunflowers - a point most evolutionists miss! 2. Often the conflict between creation and evolution comes from the definitions, not the facts. The evolutionist 'defines' evolution in this case as that which turns sunflowers into sunflowers without any change in the genes definition.
This study better fits the concept of Genesis "kind", i.e. the named species of sunflower were originally all one kind, but have been subdivided and naturally selected by highly variable climates without any change in the total genetic information for Sunflowers. (Ref. hybrid, sunflower, Genesis kind)

The photos were shot by Danny Clinch in the Salisbury House museum in Des Moines, Iowa.
It was then that the counselors broke open a huge can of something called Salisbury steak and heated it over an open fire.
That's what happened when the couple stood as they listened to the National Anthem today in Salisbury.
There's an ancient joke about a young MP who, late in the 19th century, posed a question to the aged Marquess of Salisbury.
In November 1661 he became member of parliament for Salisbury.
The site of this old city was not easily to be found on Salisbury Plain.
At Salisbury we drilled in mud and water that was at times waist deep, caused by the continuous rains and floods.
Then we may not see you again before we start for Salisbury?
It is on the south side of the city, immediately in front of Salisbury Crags.
I only came here to see Mr. Ireson, and now I go to Salisbury.

Miley Cyrus says she is ready to get out of the hospital, but she may have to remain hospitalized for up to three weeks. According to a statement from her publicist, Miley's reaction to the antibiotics she was taking can last anywhere from 5 to 27 days. The statement also implied that her shows scheduled for next week in Nashville; Louisville, Kentucky; Philadelphia; Uniondale, New York; and Connecticut — would be canceled. The official line is that Miley was suffering from the flu and doctors prescribed Cephalexin which she suffered a severe allergic reaction to.
Miley Tweeted out a copy of the statement along with a message for people to stop scaring her family and friends and fans. She said it a little more rudely. All I can say from looking at the above photos is they must have let her bring in her own sheets and pillows and blankets.

Get your travel planner out for our fifty-fourth flight over the Bible from 30,000 Feet! On this flight, we will take a look at the young church in Colosse, and how they became the target of a heretical attack. The main theme in the book of Colossians is the complete adequacy of Christ as contrasted with the emptiness of mere human philosophy. The key chapters to review are Colossians 1-4.
DESTINATION: Colossians
The church at Colosse was a young church that had become the target of heretical attack. The "Colossian Heresy," which this book was written to counteract, included ceremonialism, asceticism, angel worship, the depreciation of Christ, secret knowledge, and the reliance on human wisdom and tradition. These elements seem to fall into two categories, Jewish and Gnostic. It is likely, therefore, that the Colossian heresy was a mixture of an extreme form of Judaism and an early stage of Gnosticism.
c. 60 A.D.
Writing of Colossians
The theme of Colossians is the complete adequacy of Christ as contrasted with the emptiness of mere human philosophy. Paul's purpose is to refute the Colossian heresy. To accomplish this goal, he exalts Christ as the very image of God, the Creator, the preexistent sustainer of all things, the head of the church, the first to be resurrected, the fullness of deity in bodily form, and the reconciler. Thus Christ is completely adequate. We "have been given fullness in Christ." On the other hand, the Colossian heresy was altogether inadequate. It was a hollow and deceptive philosophy, lacking any ability to restrain the old sinful nature.
Colosse -- City of Asia Minor where a church was founded,
Laodicea and Hierapolis -- Two cities nearby to Colosse. Laodicea is mentioned by Christ in Revelation 3.
Timothy -- One of Paul's most constant companions on his missionary journeys; he was with Paul when Paul wrote to the Colossians from prison in Rome.
Epaphras -- A teacher in the church at Colosse, whom Paul calls a "bondservant for Christ."
Aristarchus -- A missionary along with Paul, and a fellow prisoner with him in Rome.
Tychicus -- Paul's emissary to Colosse, and a traveling companion on his third missionary journey.
Onesimus -- A former runaway slave who was saved by Christ and then became a messenger for Paul.
Located on a great east-west trade route, Colosse had once been a leading city in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey). By the first century A.D., it was a second-rate market town.
Colossians was probably written in the same year as Ephesians and Philemon.
The Prison Letters (Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians and Philemon) are so called because Paul wrote them from jail in Rome.

By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY
When a mammogram detected a lump in Barbara Laufer's breast, the fear was paralyzing.
"You think you're going to die," says Laufer, 40, of Burbank, Calif.
Laufer was diagnosed with a perplexing condition called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, a growth of malignant cells inside the milk ducts of the breast. Though some doctors describe the condition to patients as a very early breast cancer, others compare it to a precancer.
LIVING WITH CANCER: Share your stories in our forum
Although the disease is almost never life-threatening, Laufer says the diagnosis put her life on hold.
She has had three surgeries, including two lumpectomies that disfigured her right breast. She spent seven weeks in daily radiation treatment. And she has had to delay trying to have children for five years while she takes a hormonal treatment called tamoxifen, which can cause birth defects.
"The huge effect from DCIS is that my life has to stop," says Laufer, who was diagnosed at 37 and recently began taking the drug. "I can't have babies. I'm going to have to wait until I'm 44½ until I can even find out if I can. It's just really poor timing for me."
The advent of mammograms
More than 60,000 American women are diagnosed with DCIS each year. Doctors would like to spare these women from the rigors of cancer therapy, says breast oncologist Patricia Ganz, a professor at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. But doctors today don't know enough about DCIS to tell a harmless tumor from one that could turn lethal. As a result, they tend to treat all women the same, regardless of the tumor's size.
"We're asking women to make decisions that are crucial to their lives, without a lot of hard evidence," says Susan Reed, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, who served on an expert panel on DCIS last month at the National Institutes of Health. "We're giving them a lot of uncertainty."
If doctors know so little, it's partly because DCIS is so new.
"When I started my career, this disease did not exist," says Ganz, who has been in practice for 30 years.
The incidence of DCIS has grown seven-fold since the early '70s, when doctors began using mammograms, says the University of Florida's Carmen Allegra, a cancer specialist and chairman of the NIH panel.
Mammograms, which take X-rays of the breast, can find tumors that are too small to be felt by hand.
Doctors, who had never seen such tiny tumors, assumed that they should treat them like the large, lethal masses they were used to finding. They piled on additional treatments over the years as studies showed that radiation and hormonal therapies further reduced the risk of relapse.
After so much therapy, the cure rate is now strikingly high. After 10 to 15 years, only about 10% of women with "low-grade" lesions — the least aggressive kind — have relapses. And these relapses are usually curable. Ninety-six percent to 98% of women are alive 10 years later, Ganz says.
"We don't need more effective treatments," says Eric Winer of Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. "We need to talk about eliminating some of these treatments for women who might do well without them. The real question is, who could do well with less?"
Doctors need to answer these questions with more research, says Barbara Brenner of Breast Cancer Action, an advocacy group.
But because virtually all women get aggressive therapy, doctors don't know what would happen if women opted to scale back, say H. Gilbert Welch, Lisa Schwartz and Steve Woloshin of Dartmouth Medical School, who published an editorial on the subject last year.
"It's time to figure out whether they really need surgery or whether all they really need is repeat mammography" or an MRI, they wrote in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. "Should they be treated for breast cancer or should they be managed as individuals with an elevated risk?"
A study presented last week may begin to offer some guidance about which women are at greatest risk from DCIS. In a study of 8,203 women, researchers at the 2009 Breast Cancer Symposium in San Francisco said they found that patients 45 to 50 had half the risk of relapse after having surgery and radiation, compared with those 44 and under.
'Waiting for other shoe to drop'
Yet few women are comfortable living with DCIS — or opting to watch and wait, Ganz says.
"They told me I had a precancer, and that it could lead to cancer, but I thought, 'Let's just get rid of this,' " Laufer says. "At the same time, you also think, 'My life is going so well, why do I need to stop for something that I may not need to be treated for until later, if at all?' "
Sharon Ezersky, 49, opted for an even more aggressive approach.
When Ezersky had her first screening mammogram, at age 40, doctors found a 3-millimeter tumor. Although it was similar in size to DCIS and had begun in the ducts, the cancer had just begun to push its way out of the ducts to invade the rest of the breast.
"They said I was a poster child for mammograms because it picked up such a tiny tumor," Ezersky says.
At the time, she opted for a lumpectomy, radiation and hormonal therapy. But that didn't ease her anxiety.
"You're always waiting for the other shoe to drop," Ezersky says.
Seven years later, a mammogram detected DCIS. This time, she opted for a double mastectomy.
"I almost felt grateful to get it a second time, so I could just be done with it, to have the mastectomy and be finished," Ezersky says. "I didn't want to worry anymore."

News Release
Roving DUI Checkpoints
Department: Sheriff
Release Date: Sep 11, 2013
Larimer County Sheriff's Office
John Schulz, Public Information Officer
The Larimer County Sheriff's Office and the Larimer County DUI Task Force will be conducting roving DUI checkpoints this Friday, September 13.
The checkpoints are part of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Checkpoint Colorado campaign and The Heat is On. The time and location of checkpoints are not released in advance.
The goals of the checkpoints are to decrease the number of impaired drivers on Colorado roadways, educate the public regarding the dangers of drinking and driving, and to prevent alcohol related traffic fatalities. According to CDOT, each year more than 26,000 people are arrested for DUI and nearly 150 people are killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes – representing more than one-third of Colorado's total motor vehicle fatalities. Drug impaired driving is also a serious problem, with 16% of fatalities (2006-2010) involving drivers who tested positive for drugs.
If you plan on drinking or using drugs, please make alternate plans for transportation. Remember, if you drink and drive or take drugs and drive, you will be arrested.
