Tonight's Boca Ciega-Lakewood boys basketball game will be played at Eckerd College, Spartans coach Anthony Lawrence said.
The junior varsity game will start at 6:30 p.m., followed by the varsity game.
The game involving neighboring rivals usually is a big draw. Lakewood, the designated home team, does not have a gymnasium big enough to accommodate such large crowds. This is the second time in as many seasons that one of the games between the schools has been played at Eckerd.
"Our gym is too small so we decided to move the game so everybody will have a chance to attend," Lawrence said.
Lawrence said the Spartans' home game against rival Gibbs has been moved to St. Petersburg College on Jan. 31.

New Cars for 2012: Toyota Full Lineup Info
Charting the changes for the 2012 model year.
Camry: A redesigned Camry arrives later this year. Details are scant, but as Toyota has already given it a six-speed autobox, plus the newer 2.5-liter four-cylinder, the redesign will focus on styling. That comes per company president Akio Toyoda's mandate to add verve to Toyota products. While the Camry will not grow—it could even shrink slightly—further emphasis will be on upping interior refinement and improving the spotty (for Toyota) build quality that dogged its predecessor. The Camry hybrid also will debut, with an upsized version of the Prius powertrain and likely more styling differentiation from the regular Camry.
|Land Cruiser: A mild face lift nets a new grille, bumpers, and headlamps. A surround-view system, terrain-selection, and off-road "Turn Assist" help the mud-spattered proceedings. Entune, Toyota's new mobile-app and web interface, is available.
Prius/Prius V: Delayed by Japan's earthquake, the longer, wider, and more commodious Prius V five-door wagon will soon start arriving in quantity, offering up to 67 cubic feet of cargo space to hybrid lovers with stuff to haul. A minor refresh gives the Prius line new head- and taillamps and a resculpted front-bumper fascia. Entune is optional, and equipment-package changes abound.
|Tacoma: Toyota's mid-size pickup gets a visual refresh with a new hood, grille, headlamps, and bumpers, plus numerous interior trim changes.
|Yaris: The five-door Liftback leads the redesign of the Yaris range with a sharp-edged exterior and a revised dash. The platform and engines remain the same. The sedan will limp through 2012 as a fleet-sales-only unit until it gets the new sheetmetal and interior
|4Runner: The base 2.7-liter four has been nixed. Entune becomes optional, as do power running boards.
Minor trim changes: Corolla, RAV4, Sequoia, Tundra, Venza
Unchanged: Avalon, FJ Cruiser, Highlander/hybrid, Matrix, Sienna

Potential Project Description for 2008-09
Title: Natal homing as a factor in sex ratios in freshwater turtle populations
Faculty: Steve Freedberg, Biology
In many animals, sex is determined by the temperature of the nest during incubation, a phenomenon known as environmental sex determination (ESD). Studying the factors affecting maternal nest-site choice under ESD can be critically important in understanding both the evolutionary dynamics of the population sex ratio and the conservation implications of human-induced changes in the environment. Previous field work has revealed that turtles may "transmit" their nest-site location across generations through natal homing, whereby females return to nest at the site from which they were hatched. If ESD species exhibit natal homing, it may cause entire families to inherit similar nesting locations and thus similar offspring sex ratios. This interaction is predicted to impact population sex ratios and the evolutionary dynamics of these species.This study seeks to examine the role of natal homing on the sex ratios of local populations of freshwater turtles. If females are homing to their natal sites, there is an empirical expectation of high genetic relatedness among females nesting in close geographic proximity. Furthermore, because of the influence of local thermal environment on sex ratios, females nesting in close proximity may have positively correlated nest sex ratios. In an ongoing field study, students are using three sets of tools to collect data from nesting snapping turtles in Southern Minnesota; data loggers to track thermal variation throughout incubation, GPS to record nest location, and genetic analysis to determine relatedness among females. These data sets will allow us to construct distance matrices of temperature, geographic location, and genetic distance for the nests throughout our population. While the Mantel test is traditionally used for testing for correlations among two distance matrices, this study presents the interesting mathematical challenge of testing for correlations among three such matrices. While designing an appropriate method to study these relationships may present some interesting challenges, such an analysis will be a crucial first step in addressing these important questions.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
What's Next In San Jose?
by Paul on 02/24/13 at 11:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
from David Pollak of Working the Corners,
... one-third of the way through the season, San Jose continues to be on a downhill slide after elevating expectations by going 7-0-0 out of the chute. Now at 8-5-3, that's the kind of bad sequence of events that can lead to everything from major trades to coaching changes to dismissals in the front office if things continue to go badly.
With Lindy Ruff's firing this week, it's a pretty safe bet that Todd McLellan's name is close to the top of most lists of other NHL coaches on the hot seat.
However, that may have been true before this lockout-shortened season began, considering how things finished up in San Jose last spring. And it didn't help that GM Doug Wilson, while apparently reassuring McLellan privately that his job was safe, refused to do so publicly until eight weeks after the Sharks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the St. Louis Blues.
When he finally did tell the media McLellan would be back, Wilson did nothing to dispel the notion that both he and his coach would be on the hot seat based on the disappointing finish to 2011-12.

The Possessive Logic of Patriarchal White Sovereignty: The High Court and the Yorta Yorta Decision
Moreton-Robinson, Aileen M. (2007) The Possessive Logic of Patriarchal White Sovereignty: The High Court and the Yorta Yorta Decision. In Riggs, Damien W. (Ed.) Taking up the challenge : critical race and whiteness studies in a postcolonising nation. Crawford House Publishing, Belair, SA, pp. 110-124.
Administrators only
Race is fundamental in shaping the development of Australian law just as it has played its part in other former colonies, such as the United States, where a body of critical race theory has been established on the basis of this premise. Drawing on this theory I argue that the possessive logic of patriarchal white sovereignty works ideologically to naturalise the nation as a white possession by informing and circulating a coherent set of meanings about white possession as part of common sense knowledge and socially produced conventions in the High Court's Yorta Yorta decision.

Hi Folks
Thanks for your fine work. There is just one feature
that i desperately miss:
the completition of variables. We alle now this
feature for php-functions, but i like(d) to use
PHPed for windows, which does that or variables.
i used '$foobar' in the script somewhere. when i type
agsin '$fo' it shows me alle the variables that start
with $fo for selection.
any chance you guys implemet something like that?
Logged In: YES
That is a nice feature. Unfortunately, our development
team (aka Turadg) isn't up to the task. It seems like a
pretty big undertaking to do within Emacs. If you really
like that feature, it's ok to use PHPed. We (aka I) won't
be offended. ;)

None of the American Idol women will have to change rooms as a result of last night's eliminations: Katelyn Epperly and Lilly Scott were roommates. "It was kinda ironic we both got eliminated the same day," Katelyn told reporters during a Friday afternoon conference call.
Katelyn, Lilly and Crystal Bowersox "flocked together," Katelyn said, and the friendships she made during the show were the biggest surprise for Katelyn. For one thing, she said, "I don't typically hang out with girls." For another, she expected "a bunch a divas," and, while she met a few, she said she was surprised by how warm and friendly most people were.
Musically, Katelyn's highlight was "playing The Scientist with that white piano," an experience that she said really put her in her element.
Katelyn said she had to overcome some issues of pride before even auditioning for American Idol. "Talent competitions, that's not necessarily my thing," she said. But she appreciates the fans that she made on the show and hopes that they'll like the original music she makes after she returns to Des Moines, Iowa, as much as they liked her covers. "I hope to build on that fan base."
Katelyn said she wishes well for each member of the Top 12 -- but especially Crystal: "She totally deserves it, and I'm going to be pulling for her all the way."
For the full Q&A with Katelyn, click here.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

Eastern Michigan University to
Host Michigan
One-Room Schoolhouse Conference May 10
YPSILANTI - From one-room school archaeology to preservation and restoration
techniques, a wide variety of topics will be discussed at the Michigan One-Room
Schoolhouse Conference Saturday, May 10, 8:30 a.m.-2:15 p.m., at the Porter
Building on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.
This year's conference, "Back to Our Roots," marks the 10th anniversary
of the Michigan One-Room Schoolhouse Association (MORSA) committee founding
at EMU.
MORSA was founded to further the mission of education about one-room schools,
to document all schools that were and are in existence; and to preserve and
protect the number of existing schools, which is nearly 1,000.
"We're working to preserve the heritage of one-room schoolhouses,"
said Sue Daniel, MORSA membership chairman. "This conference will benefit
those that want to learn more about that heritage."
An array of session subjects will be covered, including: teaching in a one-room
school today; one-room school stories from the Upper Peninsula; and a historical
perspective of the rural school. In addition, two videos will be shown and a
slide show will be presented, documenting the move of the Geddes Townhall School
to EMU's campus.
Conference fee is $35 and is due May 5. Registration forms and other information
can be found on-line at www.one-roomschools.org.

|Re: Help installing 3.2.1
|Wed, 24 Aug 2005 08:57:30 +0200
First off you may want to upgrade to qt 3.3.4 prior to trying to use qt. That will probably save you trouble in the long run. Judging by the compiler messages and qt's docs, you're using an unsupported compiler. Check this page : http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt3/platforms/supported.html
Actually it is supported for Qt 3.
I've removed my copy of Builder but I imagine Borland probably uses <cstring> instead of "string.h" or something to that effect. That could also explain the std:: problems.
Builder certainly has string.h - if not for C++ at least for C. The fact that the compiler doesn't find the header seems to indicate a problem with the compiler installation. Are you able to build simple non-Qt C++ programs using this compiler?
You will probably want to use a supported compiler, either the free microsoft command-line compiler or mingw.
This is Qt 3.2.1 non-commercial and it's supposed to work with the Borland compiler, not with MinGW.
It's a compiler issue, you need to fix it before proceeding further. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the Borland compiler to help fixing it. Maybe some environment variables need to be set?

Stamps' re-sign defensive lineman Junior Turner
By IAN BUSBY, QMI Agency
CALGARY - Junior Turner will be sticking around to be a senior member of the Calgary Stampeders.
The Canadian defensive lineman signed a long-term contract extension with the team Monday, meaning he will be around the team that drafted him ninth overall in 2011 for a few more years.
"I'm very happy to be staying in Calgary," said Turner in a statement. "I love the city and Stampeders fans are the best in the CFL. We also have a great head coach and staff.
"Last year, we fell short of our ultimate goal, which left a sour taste in our mouths. So I'm excited to start things up again and take another shot at reaching our goal as a team."
Turner is entering his third season in Red and White. He played 11 regular-season games in 2012 plus the three playoff outings, and was in a regular rotation at defensive end.
In 29 career regular-season games, he's recorded 38 defensive tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble.

After I found out that Airpark Auto Service has been operating for nearly 30 years, we decided it was time to go find out for ourselves what exactly made these guys so successful. For my money, I always find it worth the time to walk into these places personally, and get a feel for exactly what is going on.
One of the things that we noticed immediately is the fact that the facility actually has an air that makes you feel welcome. Other business's can tend to forget one of the most simple keys to success, but Airpark Auto has succeeded in created a situation where you needn't question whether or not someone can help you.
But hey, there's another part of this business; knowing for a fact that I'm not going to get jerked around once my car is on the lift is the other bit of knowledge that I simply can't go without. In these situations, I generally feel it necessary to take a quick glance around and find out what these guys are all about. Let's just say, I don't like leaving anything to chance, and here is what I found.
ASE Blue Seal of Excellence – By far one of the most prestigious affiliations in the business. For those of you not familiar, the ASE is responsible for keeping technicians on their toes and up to date in the constantly evolving world of auto repair. This award is not an easy thing to achieve.
BBB Affiliated – The BBB has become synonymous with customer satisfaction. The BBB monitors any complaints raised against a business and requires that an equitable solution be made if the company wishes to remain in good standing. Not only has Airpark Auto Service maintained an A+ rating, but has won the BBB Business Ethics Award
AAA Top Shop Award – The AAA Top shop award is not something that you see every day. Seeing 11 of them in a neat row is a sight to behold. Understanding what this award means is easy; Airpark Auto takes their customers seriously.
AC Delco Service Center – Having quality parts on hand is an absolute must in my book. Best thing about this is that any warranty on parts or labor is a no-nonsense transaction and taken care of quickly.
With all this information, I can safely say that Airpark Auto Service is definitely "walking the walk" and doing it well. Finding an auto service facility that can competently fix your vehicle is often enough for some drivers, but its finding a shop that pays attention to their customers than sets Airpark Auto Service apart from the rest. Sure it's one thing to fix a car, but taking the process seriously, and keeping you in the loop shows a level of excellence which places Airpark Auto Service well above average in the department of customer service.

As an independent shop, we don't work for the insurance company, we work for you. This means that we will work on your behalf to solve any insurance issues that may arise.
Many Arizona drivers are not aware that they have the right to choose their collision repair facility. This is important because many shops out there have no interest in ensuring that your vehicle is restored to pre-accident condition. Don't be misled by suspiciously low quotes for repairs, if the price is too good to be true, you can usually bet that it is.
As a full service collision repair center and body shop, we are able to do more than just body work. Here is a short list of services available when you visit our shop
- Frame Straightening – By using only the most advanced technology and techniques, we are able to repair collision damage to your vehicles frame. Reversing the inertia exacted on your vehicle can be a delicate process and requires exact measurements, know-how and a little patience. Trust the professionals to never cut corners and perform the complete repair every time.
- Dent repair – removing dents and creases from your vehicles body is our specialty. In many cases we can remove the dent without damaging the existing paint or requiring any color sanding. For creased dents which are too deep to be pulled, we can often use a set of specialty tools to work out the dent from behind the panel. Artistry and patience are a prerequisite for dent removal, and we consider this process a chance to show our skills.
- Painting – Few things make your vehicle look better than a fresh coat of paint. Ask about our options for custom painting and you'll soon be the envy of drivers everywhere.
Feel free to contact us by phone if you have any question. Our staff will be pleased to look after you and discuss your specific needs.

Help! UAS Campus Community Emergency Response Team
We are looking for volunteers
We are looking for volunteers for the November 17-19, 2009 CCERT training (3 full days) at the Student Recreation Center.
Why join CCERT? Consider the following fictitious yet plausible scenario:
A community disaster such as a major earthquake strikes Juneau. Buildings are damaged, power is out, people are injured or unaccounted for and emergency help is delayed. When Capital City Fire and Rescue finally arrives at the campus more than two hours after the shaking stops they get a report from the CCERT leader:
Upon initial building evacuation, CCERT members grabbed the emergency backpack they were issued and reported to the muster point to get their assignments.
With green helmets and vests, the CCERT members were easy to identify.
While several team members set up treatment areas for the injured, others were moving from building to building assessing damage and searching for victims.
Additional volunteers were recruited to assist CCERT members with traffic control checkpoints so that once accounted for, bystanders could leave the area.
A small fire was put out with a portable extinguisher and CCERT members cordoned off a building due to a strong chemical smell.
Since Capital City Fire and Rescue had been in early communication with the CCERT leader, they responded with just the equipment and manpower that they needed and were able to focus on the most critical needs right away.
This scenario illustrates how a small group of ordinary employees with just a few days of training can take positive steps to save lives, preserve property and recover from a disaster. When emergency services eventually arrive, they don't have to start working the emergency from scratch.
All staff and faculty are eligible for this training free of charge. Student employees may be accepted into class on a case by case basis. If you are interested in joining the UAS Campus Community Response Team or just have questions, please contact:
Dan Garcia, UAS Health and Safety, 796-6077
Rick Forkel, UAS Emergency Manager, 907-450-8151
Class size is limited so don't wait to call to reserve your place in the class.

Research summary
Environmentally-induced developmental origins of adult abnormalities and epigenetic transgenerational inheritance
Research descriptionMy current research interests are to understand: 1) epigenetic mechanisms underlying environmentally-induced developmental origins of adult diseases, 2) mechanisms of transgenerational inheritance of abnormal phenotype that occurs via germline transmission to subsequent generations, and 3) impact of transgenerational inheritance of abnormal phenotype on a population.
My research focuses on the epigenetic basis of environmentally-induced phenotype evolution. I integrate molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and mathematics to address issues in environmental health using non-human, vertebrate models. If the genome is compared to the hardware in a computer, the epigenome would be the operating system that runs a variety of software on it. Epigenetic signals are chemical modifications that instruct the genome to turn the genes "on" or "off" at exactly the right time. Epigenetic alterations are heritable and often behave similarly to genetic mutations in terms of their stability. Altered epigenetic modifications have been found in cancer and various other diseases. Because of their reversible properties, there is the potential for these alterations to be manipulated therapeutically. Environmental stressors, such as chemicals and nutrition, have been found to alter the epigenetic status of a cell and to cause abnormalities that predispose organisms to diseases such as metabolic disorders and cancer. Environmentally-induced epigenetic alterations in germ cells cause reproductive pathologies in exposed individuals. Additionally, these alterations are transmitted to subsequent generations with adverse health outcomes. It is believed that those environmental effects which are amplified in offspring and subsequently produce a multitude of adverse outcomes may cause a population crash. In the event of such a population crash, those individuals who survive the crash may evolve as a new phenotype with altered characteristics and sensitivity to environmental changes.
Germ line stem cells and other precursor stem cell types that give rise to gametes and hormone producing tissues, respectively, are susceptible to environmental stressors, including chemicals that are used in everyday life. Germ line stem cells, also called primordial germ cells (PGCs) or spermatogonial stem cells, are precursors of eggs and sperm. They undergo epigenetic reprogramming at the time of sex determination. A global erasure of DNA methylation marks gives rise to a stem cell state in PGCs, and de novo methylation initiates a controlled gene expression pattern in a gender-specific manner. Any perturbations of global epigenetic reprogramming events in PGCs may result in reproductive consequences later in life as well as adverse health outcomes in descendants. Epigenetic alterations can be permanently programmed and transmitted to subsequent generations via both sperm and eggs. Environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can influence epigenetic programming of germ cells with adverse outcomes in later generations. Examples of such transgenerational effects are: obesity, early onset of puberty in females, reduced sperm count, polycystic ovaries, prostate disease, kidney disease, various cancers, and behavioral abnormalities. However, information about what epigenetic marks are initially established by environmental chemicals, whether these marks are consistently inherited by subsequent generations, and their direct functional link with disease state is currently lacking.
Current Research Project
It is important to find the very first changes that environmental stressors make in a cell, the germ line stem cell in particular, after exposure. Cascades of events that follow the initial change generate endpoints that are usually measured. Significant damage should already have occurred by the time these endpoints are detectable. Children born from a mother on birth control pills and offspring exposed gestationally to chemicals of plastic origin are likely to develop adult-onset diseases and these abnormalities have been found to be transmitted to subsequent generations. My current research is focused on finding the initial events that are imprinted/established in germline stem cells and carried to subsequent generations via eggs and sperm. I am taking a comparative approach to identify common biomarkers of these environmental estrogenic chemical-induced transgenerational diseases using fish and mice as models. My projects are designed to use high throughput epigenomic and genomic techniques, especially BisulfiteSeq, Histone ChIP-Seq, RNAseq, and bioinformatics. Objectives are: 1) to identify chemical exposure and phenotype-specific epigenetic and transcriptomic biomarkers in germline cells and affected somatic tissues, and 2) to understand the role of the identified alterations in disease onset. The long-term goals of my research are to understand: 1) the impact that the environmental stressor-induced transgenerational inheritance would have on a population, and 2) whether the transgenerational phenotype is able to evolve as a new species adapted to a chemically-polluted environment.

The Buffalo Bills opened training camp yesterday, and already first-rounder Sammy Watkins is impressing fans and teammates with his ability, including second-year QB E.J. Manuel . "I don't know if you saw him out there, on a slant, stop on a dime," Manuel said after the workout. "The kid is special. I have thought that way since 2010." Watkins was widely considered the top receiving prospect in the 2014 draft following the combine, where he displayed 4.43 speed and a 34-inch vertical.
Fantasy Analysis:
It's good to hear this much confidence from Manuel early on. Watkins' fantasy owners will want the two players to develop rapport as quickly as possible, and it would seem that the process is underway already. It looks as though Watkins is one of the rookies best positioned to make a fantasy impact in 2014. He'll get playing time right away, by virtue of his presence on a Bills offense lacking in big-play threats. Still, fantasy players should be careful not to over-draft Watkins based on glowing reports from camp, especially given the depth at the WR position around the NFL this year. Watkins is currently ranked 39th out of all WRs, but is being taken 21st among WRs in drafts, .

TOP STORY >>County jail a hot issue as voters go to polls
Leader staff writer
North Pulaski County voters have only two contested local races Nov. 7, plus the statewide constitutional offices and a nominal challenge to the congressional incumbent. In Pulaski County, voters will choose between First Dist. Cong. Vic Snyder, D-Little Rock, and Andy Mayberry, a Republican. (The district also includes Beebe.) Snyder, a lawyer, physician and Vietnam-era Marine, was a state representative before going to Congress in 1996. In the Jacksonville area he is known for helping grow Little Rock Air Force Base and for his support of the community/Air Force base education Center. He serves on the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and house armed services committee. Mayberry, who has never held elected office, is a state employee related to Gov. Mike Huckabee.
County Judge Buddy Villines, a Democrat, is seeking his ninth term at the head of county government. His challenger, Buddy York, a Republican, is a North Little Rock bail bondsman. The biggest issue is the county jail and money to run it. York says bail bondsmen are the key to operating the jail efficiently. Bondsmen are losing business because so many people arrested know theres no room for them in the jail, thus no need to post bond. Previously, Villines, a lawyer, was Little Rock mayor. He worked hard in September in a failed effort to get a dedicated quarter-cent sales tax approved to expand and run the county lockup.
Democrat Doc Holladay and DeWayne Graham, a Republican, face off in a contest to re-place Sheriff Randy Johnson, who is retiring. Again, expanding and running the jail is the biggest issue, with media-savvy Grahama former television reporterbringing a controversial Arizona sheriff to endorse him and setting up a tent across from the Pulaski County Detention Center to call attention to his campaign. Graham says hell house non-violent inmates in large tents, he says.
Holladay, a long-time Little Rock Police Department information officer, has worked in the professional-standards unit of the Pulaski County Sheriffs Department since June 2004.
MayorAlderman Dan Steadman is running against Mike Presson, a restaurant owner, to succeed Bill Harmon, retiring after 15 years as mayor. City Clerk/Treasurer Virginia Hillman, who has served in that position since 2001, faces a challenge from Sharon McMinn. In Ward I, Position 1, Robert Wallace, a firefighter, is challenging incumbent Becky Vassar.
Greg Chastain and Charlie Harmon seek the Ward I, Position 2 aldermanic seat being vacated by Steadman.
Chastain, who lost a bid for a council seat two years ago, cut his political teeth on the successful grassroots effort to prevent the North Belt Freeway from cutting through several Sherwood subdivisions. Harmon, the son of the current mayor, is a lawyer in the Dillards real estate division.
There are no contested Jacksonville races.
Four candidates square off in the first gubernatorial race without an incumbent in many years. In order of appearance on the Pulaski County ballot, they are Asa Hutchinson, Rob Bryan, Atty. Gen. Mike Beebe and Jim Lindall. Hutchinson, the Republican, is former deputy director of Homeland Security and as an Arkansas congressman, was the prosecutor when Congress impeached President Bill Clinton.
Bryan, an independent, works in a restaurant, commutes by bicycle and is a musician. Beebe, a Democrat, was a state representative and a state senator before election to his current office. Lindall, the bearded Mr. Natural-look-alike, having served four terms as a state representative, keeps on truckin. Lindall works as a nurse practitioner and introduced legislation several times to repeal the grocery taxan idea all four candidates now embrace.
Running for lieutenant governor are state Sen. Jim Holt, a Republican, and Bill Halter, a Democrat. Holt was the lone state senator to vote against raising the minimum wage, calling it Soviet-style communism. He served one term in the Arkansas House of Representatives and one in the state Senate. He worked for the National Security Agency, according to his Website, which doesnt list any employment for the father of eight.
Halter was a deputy director of Social Security under President Clinton. He owns several high-tech businesses. He dropped out of the race for governor to seek this position.
Incumbent Charlie Daniels, a Democrat, faces Republican Jim LaGrone and Green Party Candidate Ralph Marty Scully.
LaGrone has attacked Daniels for hiring his son and daughter-in-law, but Daniels said his son worked in the secretary of states office for years before he was elected, and his daughter-in-law worked elsewhere in state government.
LaGrone, a Baptist preacher and evangelist, served on the Bryant School Board. Scully, a 59-year-old retiree from Consolidated Freightways, lives in Mountain Home. He is a lifelong labor supporter and was a member of the Teamsters for 30 years.
Gunner DeLay, Rebekah Kennedy and state Rep. Dustin McDaniel are competing for the job being vacated by Mike Beebe, who hopes to be governor come January. Delay, a Republican, has served two terms as a state representative and one as a state senator. He lost a special election in 2001 to John Boozman to fill the 3rd Congressional District seat Hutchinson left to work for the Drug Enforcement Agency. Kennedy, the Green Party candidate, is a 27-year-old Fort Smith attorney. McDaniel, a state Representative and a lawyer, is a former Jonesboro patrolman. Hell work to lower prescription drug prices, he says.
Martha A. Shoffner, a Democrat from Newport, Brock Carpenter of the Green Party, and Chris Morris, a Republican, seek the position currently held by Gus Wingfield. Shoffner, a three-term state representative, served as chairman of the State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee. She is a real estate agent. Carpenter is a Hendrix student.
Morris is an aide to Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Green Party Candidate Joseph Bolzenius is the only challenger against state Auditor Jim Wood. Wood, a Democrat, is a farmer with 16 years service in the state General Assembly. He has served as auditor since January 2003. Bolzenius, 27, is currently completing work on his degree in political science and history at UALR and works in classified advertising for a local newspaper.
Green Party candidate R. David Lewis, a Little Rock attorney, is challenging Democrat Mark Wilcox, the incumbent. Wilcox has served since January 2003. Prior to that, he served as justice of the peace and tax collector in Faulkner County.
Voters will decide whether or not to issue $250 million in general-obligation bonds with the money earmarked for institutions of higher learning and whether or not to amend the state Constitution to allow certain nonprofit organizations to conduct lotteries and bingo.
Both Referred Question No. 1 and Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 1 were referred to the people by the General Assembly. Referred Question No. 1, with the popular name Arkansas Higher Education Technology and Facility Improvement Act of 2005, would allow the state to issue the bonds to finance developing technology and facility projects for state institutions of higher education. The constitutional amendment requires that the organizations must have been in existence for five years and the proceeds must be used for charitable or philanthropic purposes.

West Coast forward Mark Nicoski will miss the rest of the AFL season after re-injuring his hamstring at training on Monday.
Nicoski underwent two rounds of hamstring surgery earlier this year after first suffering the injury during the pre-season grand final.
The 28-year-old was on track to resume playing in about six weeks, but Monday's setback ended any hopes of returning this year.
Nicoski booted 41 goals last season, and his absence along with fellow small forward Mark LeCras (knee) left a gaping hole in West Coast's attack.
But the arrival of former Bulldogs goalsneak Josh Hill, who has kicked 25.16 this season, and the continued improvement of Ashton Hams have gone some way to filling the void.
However, West Coast is desperate to regain the services of power forward Josh Kennedy, who is racing the clock to be fit in time for the club's finals campaign.
Kennedy injured his ankle in the club's round-five win over Richmond, and hopes to resume playing in about seven weeks.
Nicoski turned to Twitter to reveal his latest injury setback.
"The club and I have chosen to avoid forcing a return this season," Nicoski tweeted.
"It gives me the opportunity to rest it adequately and ensure 2013 is a successful one for myself and WCE.
"Cheers for all the support on here from fans, you've been amazing. Let's get behind the team for finals!"
Third-placed West Coast take on the in-form Kangaroos in Tasmania on Saturday.

Biomod/2011/TeamJapan/Sendai/Computational design/Simulation
From OpenWetWare
3D simulation movie
About simulation
We did 3D simulation of the molecular rolling robot over the DNA origami field using molecular dynamics. In this simulation, the robot is represented as mass points and moves by following the Langevin equation. Hybridizing between robot legs and substrates on the field, and cleaving the substrates by legs, are described by a potential shift.
The program code was written entirely in C and OpenGL.
Model and Methods
In this simulation, we described the system as a coarse-grained model(1). In a coarse-grained model, representative points of the structures are extracted. In our case, these representative points were connected by springs and strings, and their potentials associated with them.
For example, see Fig.1, which represents extraction of corresponding points from the molecular spider, and a scheme of potential to maintain structure. Streptavidine structures were maintained by a spring-type potential which keeps length among points and weakly affect angles among points. Deoxyrybozyme legs were connected with a string-type potential, which is taken into consideration when points go beyond the determined length. On the spider simulation, blue points, green points, and yellow lines, represent mass points of the structure, top of spider legs, lines represents bonds, respectively.
Each mass point is moving under influence of energy V. The energy V is sum of potential energy for maintaining structure, and that for binding substrates on field. The potential of substrates is zero when legs are out of the effective area (as cut-off), and changes by distance between legs and substrates when legs enter effective area. The force from differentiation of the substrate potential is proportional to the distance.
The motion of each mass point is described by the Langevin Equation(2). In this equation, acceleration is determined by sum of force F from the differentiation of energy V, viscosity resistance -βv , and white Gaussian random force η(t). White Gaussian random force was obtained by the box-muller methods(3). Distribution of the obtained random force is shown in Fig.2.
Langevin Equation
Spider simulation
In order to deduce parameters, we simulated movements of DNA spider robot in the DNA spider article (Lund et al. 2010)(4). Red points and blue points represent uncleaved substrates and cleaved substrates, respectively. See the above movie, in which spider goes toward goal with cleaving substrates.
Simulation data
Fig.4 describes how many spiders reached the goal and how many did not at a certain time. We tuned simulation parameters to be consistence with the result in figure 2G of Lund et al. (Nature, 2010)(4). In our simulation, the time for reaching the goal substrate was about 20 times longer than the time that DNAzyme cleaved substrate. The result matched very well to the time in the article (about 21 times longer).
Simulation of the triangular prism robot
We simulated whether our triangular prism robot can reach the goal of the field. The video in the left shows that our robot has high probability to reach the goal. We supposed that the triangular prism robot could reach the goal by only rotary motion. However, our simulation result indicated that the triangular prism moves forward by combination of, both, rotary motion and walking motion. This combined motion did not impede the robot efficiency for moving forward. Anyway, this design is satisfying our initial racing condition of reaching the goal.
Comparison between the spider and triangular prism robot
In order to examine which of the robots (our triangular prism or DNA spider) is the fastest in reaching the goal, a simulation was carried out. Locations of the substrates for the molecular spider were determined by following the design of the substrates in the original DNA spider paper, those positions are seen in the video. Locations of the substrate for our triangular prism robot were considered to be the same as our field design. Since the body of the triangular prism robot is bigger than the spider body, we could reduce the number of substrates for the prism on the field. It can be seen from this video that the triangular prism robot reaches the goal faster than the DNA spider.
Data of triangular prism simulation
To check the effect of the number of leg-types over the time to reach the goal, speeds of triangular prism with 3 types of legs and with 1 type of legs were calculated by our simulation. The right part of Fig.6 shows the results. The goal time of both cases are very similar, but the percentage of the triangle prism was different. 1 leg type robot has a higher goal probability. Thus, we concluded that the 1 leg type robot could be better.
Other data
Cleavage rate and spider speed
To verify effects of cleavage rates of DNAzyme, simulation of the molecular spider was done by changing cleavage time. Fig.7 is the result from our simulation. Increase of cleaving rate facilitated speed in reaching the goal, but percentage of spiders which reached goal reduced. Therefore, there is a trade-off between increasing the cleaving rate and the percentage of robots that reaches the goal.
Field design and spider speed
Fig.8 shows design of fields and moving data of spider over each field. Designs of these fields were based on the field used in the molecular spider article (figure 1d in Lund et al. Nature 2010))(4). Substrates in the field (a), (b), (c) are removed in a different pattern.
The results by the simulation are shown in the right figure. Less substrates gained speed to reach goal, and decreased probability of goal. But the goal probability depends on not only the number of substrates but also on the location of the substrates.
These suggested that it is better to reduce substrates on the field as much as possible to gain robot's speed.
Body size and leg size
In this section, both robots, triangular prism and a modified molecular spider, were chased in silico on the same field. On this simulation, spider robot has longer legs, while design of triangular prism was the same as the one we used above. Right figure shows moving data of each robot. As a result, the molecular spider with long legs was slower than our robots, although it had more goal probability. It might be due to difference in the body size, leg length and the number of legs. Longer leg increases the probability to reach the goal, making more molecular spiders reach goal. And if the structure has more legs, it can cleave more substrates in the same time. Therefore, when the design of the fields is the same, robots with many legs are fast. This notion explained why the triangular prism was faster when comparing with the molecular spider.

Baseball International's
16th Annual Spring Training Tournament
January 21-24, 2016
City of Palms Spring Training Complex
Fort Myers, Florida
Former Boston Red Sox Spring Training Complex
Imagine having your own spring training at a major league spring training baseball complex each year complete with clubhouse access and between doubleheader lunches. You'll be playing on the same fields as the Pros have (in this case the Red Sox) , play daily doubleheaders to tune your skills, enjoy catered lunches by the same people used by the Pros, and soak in sunny 80 degrees days. Beats the frozen north in January!
We are proud to announce our 16th Annual Baseball International Goodwill Tournament is now open for registration. Our Thursday through Sunday tournament will consist of players from all over the country (and hopefully a few from around the world) traveling to a major league spring training complex stadium for a long weekend of games, sun, and family fun. The 2016 tournament is a wood bat only event just like major league baseball.
Come as a player or as a group wanting to experience international baseball camaraderie. You'll also have the chance to enter baseball immortality by leading your team to victory in Sunday's championship game at City of Palms Stadium. Or at least that's what you will tell your friends.
In 2016, we'll be playing at the City of Palms Baseball Stadium and the Player Development Complex located in beautiful Fort Myers, Florida. The former spring training home of the Boston Red Sox, the City of Palms will be ours for a baseball filled weekend. Each team will play 7 games over 4 days leading up to the championship game on Sunday morning.
Our Spring Training Tournaments use international goodwill rules (no passed balls or stolen bases). If enough teams are interested, we may form a full rules division giving teams the option of playing the full rules baseball as long as both managers agree before the game starts (else goodwill rules will apply). Pool players are welcome and will play goodwill rules unless they ask for full rules AND are selected by a full rules team.
What's included in the tournament registration?
Enjoy Spacious Locker Room Comradery Knowing That Professional Trainers Available All Day Long.
Teams will be dressed in an all star format with each player bringing his favorite uniform from his home country. Each team will consist of around 13/14 players mixed to achieve a competitive balance. Players are responsible for bringing their own uniforms, gloves, and bats.
Our goal again this year is to have two divisions, one for organized teams and the other for full goodwill rules teams. Our tournament schedules will be as follows:

The man who kidnapped a 14-year-old Mount Pleasant girl is in custody and the girl has been found safe, according to Titus County authorities.
At approximately 3:00 p.m. Monday, a little over twenty-four hours after the kidnapping of a young teenager girl. the suspect and victim were found deep in the woods in Titus county. Workers at the Luminant mine company spotted a male and female walking on the railroad tracks on the mine's property Monday at around noon. This location is about one mile from the location of the wrecked stolen vehicle used during the kidnapping which was found on County Road 2500, about eight miles west of Mount Pleasant.
Titus County Sheriff Tim Ingram's Office received the call and immediately set up a perimeter of the area with regional resources. After the area was locked down search teams walked through the woods looking for the suspect and victim. During the search both were found deep in the woods.
Suspect Jesus Ramirez was taken into custody without incident. Victim Ruby Zavala was transported to Titus County Regional Medical Center for severe dehydration and other non-life-threatening injuries.
The family is thankful for the safe return of Ruby, they say.
Around 1:00 p.m. Sunday, a mother and two children were taken by knife point by 23-year-old Jesus Ramires in a church parking lot, according to law enforcement. The suspect then took the three victims by vehicle to a county residence. The mother and one of the children were then released. Ramires kept 14-year-old Ruby Zavala.
Ramires' records show that he has multiple assault charges and a sexual assault charge, as recently as March 27, 2013.
