Green Car Convoy rolls through Greeley
The 2013 Statewide Green Car Convoy made a stop Thursday in Greeley. The Colorado Automobile Dealers Association and its nonprofit Clear The Air Foundation presented hybrid and fuel-efficient cars that will be exhibited at the Denver Auto Show Wednesday through March 24 at the Colorado Convention Center.
"The auto industry is in a race not only because customers are looking for fuel efficiency, but also because it is mandated through federal legislation," said the association's president Tim Jackson referring to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards that Congress passed in 2009 and 2011. Under those standards, carmakers are allowed to produce fuel-efficient cars alongside gas guzzlers, as long as their across the board fuel consumption averages 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016 and 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
Two of the featured cars, the Lexus ES 300h and the Ford C-Max make 40 and 47 miles to the gallon respectively. The third feature, a BMW ActiveHybrid 5 only gets 26 miles per gallon, but it is an example of hybrid cars entering the luxury market.
Around 25 energy-efficient cars will be parked outside the state Capitol in Denver today as part of the Green Car Parade. The event is free to the public.

Dr. Brad Lopez and the ACLU!
by Garry Kennedy on Feb.17, 2010, under Professor Lopez, Supernatural Friends
What in the world was going on? It was Monday, February 8 and I was at my mother's apartment complex in their recreation room watching the local newscast. The newscaster was stating that some students at Fresno City College, and the American Civil Liberty Union were claiming that there was this anti-gay professor there pushing his Christianity on to his students and teaching them from the Bible.
The next day in the newspaper the Fresno Bee, the story was on the first page. It read in large letters: ACLU: Fresno professor anti-gay, City College students also say health science class is religion-based. The professor's name was Doctor Brad Lopez. This could not the Brad Lopez that I know and love. Please allow me to share with you my story about Brad Lopez and then you can make up your own mind without a rush to judgment.
When I first published my first book "Why we celebrate Christmas" with the Jesus Tree Decorations, Brad was there encouraging me and offering suggestions. I remember when I first put the Jesus Tree Decorations on my Christmas tree, turning my Christmas tree into a witness for Jesus, how I couldn't wait to show them to someone so I called Brad and he came right over to my house, and shared in my joy. I now offer the decorations to anyone for free to print out at http://www.jesustreedecorations.com .
A few years later when I was working on the first chapters of my novel "The Jesus Tree Ornaments" my wife and I were spending a weekend with Brad and his wife Jan up in the Sierra Mountains of California, at Hume Lake. I was working on the chapter where my main character, Thomas, was about to meet David, the shepherd boy, and the future King of Israel from the Old Testament of the Bible. I was having a hard time trying to find the right word that would best describe David's interaction and involvement with God so I asked Brad what he thought it should be. He said the word should be "relationship". I knew at once he was right and it fit perfectly with what I wanted to express in my book about how we can all have a personal relationship with God.
When I think of my relationship with my friend Brad, I remember him all the way back to Clovis High School during the year of 1965. He played on the basketball team and appeared to me to be a very outgoing and happy young man. I didn't personally know Brad then or his wife Jan, who graduated with me in 1967, however I had a very favorable first impression of him. Brad graduated in 1965 as salutatorian in his class. His grandparents came from Mexico and he had a humble upbringing. He told me his father wouldn't allow them to speak Spanish at home because he wanted his children to prosper in America. His father died when Brad was only twelve. From then on Brad had to be the man of the house and help his mother raise his two younger brothers.
I didn't see Brad again after high school until several decades later. One day he and Jan walked into my Sunday school class at Peoples Church in Fresno, California. I didn't know it but they had been members of Peoples Church longer than my wife and I. It is a big church with several thousand members so it is not unusual to meet at the same place every weekend and not connect with everyone. It was in this class that I finally got to know my future best friend and mentor Dr. Brad Lopez.
I was, and am still astounded by his many accomplishments since high school. It would take too long to list them all here so I will just highlight a few: 1971 Bachelor of Arts, Deans list, Major Zoology, California State University, Fresno. 1972 Associate of Science in Respiratory Care, Loma Linda University, 1973-75 Master of Public Health Program, 1977 Master of Science, Major Health Science, California State University, Fresno, 1977 Community College Instructor Credential, 1979 Community College Supervisor Credential, Doctor of Education, Specialty Educational Leadership, Joint Doctoral Program, University California, Davis, California State University, Fresno. He has taught traditional classes, distance education in live, interactive two-way video conferencing and media streaming online classes over the Internet. Students can actually view online Doctor Lopez's classes online and make their own determination about his supposed anti-gay teachings. Like any father all of this would have made Brad's dad extremely proud of him.
Brad and I connected on many different levels and soon started doing things together. I remember early in our friendship we took ours sons to the movies with us. His son Justin and my son Josh. Later Justin told Brad that out of all of his friends he liked me the best and thought he should hang out with me. I was greatly touched by his comment.
Our Sunday school class went camping together one weekend and while it was nice the facilities at the campsite were substandard. I remember mentioning to Brad that we could do better and he informed me about another campground only a few miles away called "Camp Edison" at Shaver Lake. Together we got everyone to agree that the men would do all the cooking during the weekend and have been doing it now for over ten years. It is a great family weekend spent with other Christian friends in worshipping our God in His great outdoors creation. We have had around one hundred people attending on some of the dates and we are still participating in this event.
I have also worked with Brad and our wives plus others from our church in putting together several couple retreats on the west coast. We have had groups of one hundred couples join with us for weekends of teaching, relaxation, and worship. Brad and Jan have also opened up their cabin in the mountains for men and women from our church to stay at for free while we attend the church's yearly men's and women's retreats. Brad has helped put together a helps team in our Sunday school class that has helped people repair their homes, move, or anything else that we may be able to assist them in. Brad and Jan have been involved in a Tuesday night Bible study for years.
My wife for years has been involved in a women's prison ministry called Kairos. She has been a been a team leader since the start of the ministry at the Chowchilla Prison and has not only served on the Kairos board but has also been a team leader going into the prison for four days at a time. While in the prison talks are given to the inmates about God and how Jesus loves them. We are instructed to listen, listen, love, love. In 2004 her board sent Pamela to Erie Pennsylvania for an International meeting of Kairos ministry. Brad, Jan and I went with Pamela and spent several days at the conference attending training sessions and listening to guest speakers. Brad and I at that time were also part of a men's Kairos team in Fresno, lead by an retired Sheriff and man of God named Odell McCoy. Brad and I went with the team a couple of times on Saturdays to minister to the prisoners at the Atwater Maximum Security Federal Prison in Atwater, California. One time Brad was the guest speaker to the prisoners.
To me, probably the two most important mission projects Brad and I have started together and worked on is our yearly Mexico mission trip to Ensenada and Christ's Warriors.
Over ten years ago Brad and I went to visit our missionary friends in Ensenada Mexico, Tim and Kathy Johnston. They had been in our Sunday school class when they had taken a short-term mission trip to Mexico and fell in love with the people. Tim and Kathy sold most of their possessions and moved to Mexico to share Jesus. They became associated with a group called "Youth Unlimited Gospel Outreach" (YUGO). While there I discussed with Kathy how our Sunday school class might be able to come back and help them minister to the local Indians. Once back at the church I asked Brad what he felt the Lord would have us do and he said he would decide by the giving of the class. We were doing a study at that time called "Experiencing God" and I asked the class if they would like to take on a God sized project in Mexico. They agreed, and donated $1,800 that day to get us started. Brad was convinced God was in this large undertaking and has been both a leader in our yearly trips to Mexico and a great mentor to me. We have built several houses for families at no cost to them, and had both women and men ministries. Brad has been our lead in the men's ministry. At our first gathering with the men at the local church Brad shared how he had lost two sons in their youth. His first son Brad Jr. at the age of thirteen, and his youngest son Justin at age nineteen. Then the pastor of the church stood up and shared how he had lost a young daughter just that past year. It was an awesome moment to see these two men instantly bond together and I will never forget the anointing of the Holy Spirit as he fell upon all the men that night. You can visit the website for YUGO at http://www.eocyugo.org/. Over a thousand homes have now been built in the surrounding area of Ensenada by the ministry started by Tim and Kathy Johnston.
As mentioned before I knew Brad's son Justin, but I never met his first son Brad Junior. I can't image the pain that Brad, Jan and their one remaining son Ted, have suffered by the loss of their sons and Ted's brothers. I remember going to the funeral of Justin and when I embraced Brad he said to me, "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy." To my knowledge Brad has no enemies but I knew what he meant. He shared with me sometime later that when he was at the bottom of the pit of despair, he cried out to God for an answer. He immediately sensed the presence of God's Holy Spirit descend upon him and felt the presence of his son speaking to him and stating, "Dad I'm okay." From that moment on Brad has continued on with his recovery and in the sharing of faith. He has told me that it is a day-by-day process that you never fully recover from. Nevertheless he and Jan have turned it into a powerful witness to minister to others with.
Some years ago I started going to our church's Wednesday night men's Bible study. Jeremy Brown and Craig Eischen facilitated the study. The guys did a great job but attendance at the study was always very low at around four to fifteen men. You just never knew how many guys would show up. Nevertheless Jeremy predicted, but he didn't know when or how, that something big was going to happened to our men's group. I remember asking him what he thought that might be but he couldn't give me an answer. He didn't know, he just felt God was going to move big in our group. This really started to bother me. It was like God had planted a seed in me to seek out what Jeremy was talking about. I questioned God that didn't I already have enough to do? Like that did a lot of good. I remember going to a Bible store one day and while waiting for my wife, two books caught my attention. One book entitled "Total Truth" by Nancy Pearcey looked interesting but the cover didn't do anything for me. Inside it looked like a textbook. However, I felt led by God to purchase it and was I happy that I did. The book covers a lot of the America church and it's history. I gave the book to Brad for him to read and he loved it too. Ms. Nancy Pearcey had put into print what I have always felt and wanted to express but didn't know how. Check out the book at http://www.crossway.org/sites/total.truth/ . Sometime also during this period Brad and I were spending a weekend at the men's retreat at Hume Lake. We were taking our usual walk around the lake and I was sharing with him this strong urging by the Lord on how to reach the men by teaching them the fundamentals of Christianity, however I was having a hard time putting into words what I wanted to do in practice. Brad said, "Oh, you're talking about a curriculum." I thought, I am? Shortly after that I was introduced to a DVD series "The Truth Project" by Family Focus, and Brad and I both attended the viewings at our church. Brad and I then presented the Truth Project and Christian apologics to our men's group. You can check out the Truth Project trailer at http://www.thetruthproject.org/ . Then in January of 2009, along with Pastor Pete Gavrilis of the men's group we started a new group called "Christ's Warriors." Christ's Warriors is a men's discipleship group that is meant to help men put on the Full Armor of God. Ephesians 6: 11-18. It is of the men, by the men, and for the men of Peoples Church. We video record all the messages put on by the men of Peoples Church and then upload them with lessons plans onto the internet for anyone to learn from and enjoy. You can view them all at www.pcwarriors.org . There are great lessons on the Trinity, Water Baptism, The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Spiritual Gifts, Forgiveness, Prayer, Grace, Church and Community, plus many others. Brad's and my hope is to someday share this discipleship training with men all over the world. Another resource that we have used at our meetings are the DVDs from author Lee Strobel based on his books "The Case for Faith, The Case for Christ, and The Case for a Creator". Lee Stroble was an atheist until he wife became a Christian and he started to investigate the claims of Christianity. You can visit his website at http://www.leestrobel.com/ for more information.
I've recently been made aware that Focus on the Family has produced another DVD series for teens and college students. If you have a child going off to college soon or one already there you should check out TrueU at http://www.mytruthproject.org/truthproject/trueu/home.html . I haven't reviewed the series yet but the trailers look first class and the information life saving.
Fellow Christians, in closing I would like to ask you to hold up our Christian brother Brad Lopez in prayer. Living here in the center of California I know that the Hollywood elite and the San Francisco liberals do not hold valley people in high regard. Most of them think we are just stupid Bible thumpers and country bumpkins in dire need of their immoral thinking and lifestyles. No thanks.
Professor Brad Lopez is just trying to teach his students to do some critical thinking. My wife took his class and informed me that he does not teach from the Bible or assign any homework from the Bible to the students. Anyway, these students are supposed to be adults not children. If they don't like the teacher take another class. If your feelings are hurt get over it. There is supposed to be a thing called academic freedom at the college level.
From watching the local news it appears only one girl in the class was offended and she was offended for her homosexual friends. I surmise she is straight. I heard she got an A in the class. Good reason to be upset. I am suspicious of the gentlemen in the same newscast with her. I have not heard any evidence that he was even a student in Professor Lopez's class. Is it possible that he isn't even at student at Fresno City College? If not, what agenda is he pushing and whom does he represent? Don't expect the news to rush on this one. They are about selling papers and being political correct. What does it matter if a Christian is scarified in the process.
I suspect Professor Brad Lopez will stand tall and not walk away small in this ridiculous situation they have put him in. After all, it really isn't Professor Brad Lopez they are after. Jesus said "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." John 15:18. They want God completely out of all the schools, even at the college level. Why? Because they don't want a relationship with Him or his followers. They want to be in control. They don't want the Truth to be known because Jesus is the Truth, and the Truth is always extreme to those who don't believe in Him. The battle is the Lord's!
A relationship can only survive if it is based upon the truth. The shepherd is the truth! Do you share this truth with your family? Do they really know who you are, or are you lying to them about you too?" asked the king.
Guilt washed over Thomas. He lied to Sara and Isaac all the time. But, he rationalized that he only told them little white lies because he did not believe they could handle knowing the whole truth about him. But had his little white lies now become big dark lies, or was a lie always absent of any color and size, nothing more than a deception about the truth?

Tim Tremlett, director of cricket at Hampshire, spoke of his pleasure after son Chris was selected in England's 12-man squad for the first Ashes Test.
"I'm very proud of Chris and delighted for him," said Tim, who also played first-class cricket for Hampshire.
"I am also a little surprised as he wasn't England's first-choice back-up seamer in the one-dayers this summer.
"But he acquitted himself well and didn't let himself down, and clearly the selectors see that."
The 48-year-old Tremlett realises his son will probably not make the starting XI against Australia at Lord's.
"I don't expect that he will play unless there is an injury to one of the frontline pacemen," he added.
"But his selection in the squad really speaks for the future and Chris has done very well."
Chris Tremlett, whose grandfather Maurice played three Tests for England in 1948, took five wickets at 22.2 in three one-day appearances this summer.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Have you serviced the transmission in the last 20-30,000 miles(fluid & filter).If not this is a good place to start.Inspect the pan for any metal debris.Look at the color of the fluid & smell of it,it should be bright red & NOT smell burned.Scan the powertrain control system to check for any failure codes.This is an electronically controlled transmission.
I am sending a couple of repair flow charts to help.Maybe these will help you.I believe you probably have some internal problems(clutches slipping,pump fault).Your p1404 is the EGR.
DTC P0733 Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, input speed sensor (ISS) and output speed sensor (OSS) to determine engine speed, input shaft speed and output shaft speed. These sensor readings are used to determine the current gear ratio and RPM slip across the torque converter. The PCM uses this information from the sensors to determine if the commanded gear matches the actual gear. During normal driving conditions, the PCM will adapt main line pressure via the pressure control (PC) solenoid to prevent slipping and harsh shifts. Shift solenoid 3 is used to apply or release third gear clutch. The PCM controls 3rd gear by controlling the ground for shift solenoid 3. The PCM will turn the solenoid OFF, open the driver circuit, when 3rd gear is commanded On to apply 3rd clutch. Shift solenoid 3 is supplied ignition voltage from the fuel pump relay whenever the PCM commands the fuel pump relay ON. DTC P0733 sets when 3rd clutch still slips after the PCM has commanded high main line pressure.
DTC Parameters
DTC P0733 will set if the PCM detects an incorrect actual 3rd gear ratio when 3rd gear is commanded On when:
DTC P0733 diagnostic runs continuously once the above conditions have been met.
DTC P0733 is a type A DTC for 2000, type B for 2001.*
*Applicable to vehicles built after June 2000.
Diagnostic Aids
Important: If DTCs P0745, P0746, P0756, P0758, P0761, P0763, P0766, P0768 or P0789 is set, diagnose that DTC first. A diagnosed PC solenoid, shift solenoid 2, 3 or 4 low/high circuit fault DTC may have caused DTC P0733 to set.
Important: If a shift solenoid performance DTC P0783, 4th gear stuck ON, is set, diagnose that DTC first. A 4th gear stuck ON may cause no 3rd gear, no 2nd gear, or TCC stuck Off.
Refer to Pressure Ports - Air Check and Parts Description for pressure apply points and for component/location description.
Possible causes of no 3rd gear are listed in the flowchart on the succeeding page.
Verify TRANSMISSION ISS and TRANSMISSION OSS read correctly on Scan tool.
Make sure the pressure control, shift 2, shift 3 and shift 4 solenoids are not intermittently sticking. A sticking shift solenoid 4 may cause 4th gear to be applied from an initial start resulting in no 3rd gear. Audible sound should be similar for all solenoids. A muffled tone indicates the need for replacement.
Circuit Description
The pressure control (PC) solenoid is used to control main line pressure to the transaxle hydraulic system. The powertrain control module (PCM) pulse width modulates (PWM) the PC solenoid whenever the engine is running. The PCM controls the PC solenoid by pulse width modulating an internal driver that pulls the solenoid circuit to ground. When the PC solenoid is commanded Off, main line pressure is highest. During normal shift operation, the PCM will only turn ON or OFF the 2, 3 or 4 shift solenoids and PWM the PC solenoid to prevent clutch slip and harsh shifts. The PC solenoid circuit is monitored for low and high voltage faults. The PCM also monitors main line pressure for low pressure. The PCM calculates main line pressure based on shift time and clutch slip. DTC P0745 sets when the PCM has set all forward no gear DTCs indicating all clutch packs are slipping resulting from low main line pressure.
DTC P0745 will set if the PCM has set DTC P0731, P0732, P0733 and P0734 indicating low main line pressure.
Since DTCs P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734 are set, no forward gear ratios are correct and most likely no forward gears are available.
DTC P0745 diagnostic runs continuously when the above conditions have been met.
DTC P0745 is a type D DTC.
Important: If DTC P0746 or P0747 is set, diagnose that DTC first. A diagnosed PC solenoid circuit DTC may have caused DTC P0745 to set.
Refer to Part Description and Pressure Ports Air Check for component location/description and main line pressure specifications and test procedures.
Ensure that the PC solenoid is not intermittently sticking. Audible sound should be similar for all solenoids. A muffled tone indicates the need for replacement.
An intermittent short to ground on circuit 1530 will cause low main line pressure. Use scan tool to command TRANS. SOLENOID POWER ON, while monitoring the PC SOLENOID - LOW VOLT or PC SOLENOID - OPEN test. Wiggling wires while monitoring the test may locate a problem.
PC solenoid resistance: 3.8-7.2 ohms
Nominal value: 4.5 ohms at 68°F
OK, 1 switch is the VSS it sends a square wave signal to the PCM at a speed modulated frequency.You will need a good Fluke meter to check this.If you can describe the other switch I will try & help you.
The smaller switch is a TFT(transmission fluid temperature sensor).
The transaxle fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor that varies resistance according to changes in transaxle fluid temperature. The PCM supplies a five volt reference through a pull-up resistor to the sensor, which is connected to ground. When the sensor is cold it has high resistance (high signal voltage at PCM). As the sensor temperature increases, its resistance decreases (lower signal voltage at PCM). The PCM uses the signal voltage to determine transaxle fluid temperature.
The other is the input speed sensor(ISS)
The input speed sensor (ISS) is threaded into the transaxle case located near the transaxle fluid filter. The ISS produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency depending on the velocity of the input shaft. The ISS uses 8 total machined notches off the 2nd gear clutch to produce different AC voltage signals. This ISS signal is sent to the PCM, which is used to determine the velocity of the input shaft. A readable input occurs when the input shaft speed is greater than 250 RPM.
The PCM uses the ISS to monitor the speed of the input shaft. In conjunction with the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, the PCM can determine the slip across the torque converter. In conjunction with the output speed sensor (OSS), the PCM can determine the slip across the commanded gear clutch pack. The PCM can use this information to determine the torque converter slippage, clutch gear slippage, actual gear ratio or lack of main line hydraulic pressure.

Reader Essay My friends Sami, Rena and I were sitting around the kitchen last May over coffee discussing our children's summer plans.
"I'm doing the JCC Day Camp again this year. How 'bout you, Sam?" Rena asked.
"Yeah, me too. I also want to sign them up for ballet and T-ball after camp," Sami replied.
I looked at the floor. "I'm keeping the kids home this summer," I said in as confident a voice as I could muster.
"WHAT?" they screamed in unison.
Yes. I had decided to keep my three children home from camp. What happened to the good old days of playing in the sprinkler all day? Making art projects and baking cookies with Mom? Or taking day trips to local museums? I had decided not to over-schedule my children that summer. Boy, was I in for a ride.
This idea hatched in early May as I was filling out forms for the day camp where my kids have spent the last three summers. I was signing my name on all the dotted lines when I came to the "amount due" section.
I didn't want to spend nearly $2,000 for my kids to do something they never much enjoyed anyway. My son hated the swim program. My daughter couldn't stand her counselor from the summer before. Both complained regularly that there was never enough time to play. Between school, homework, soccer practice, ballet, games and play dates, there wasn't time to just be.
How hard could it be?
My husband and I discussed the idea of my keeping the kids home all day, every day, for the whole summer. Hey, I reasoned, how hard could it be?
Then I explained to my children that we'd be spending some quality, and much quantity, time together developing our own camp—Camp Kutliroff. We would import one counselor for assistance (their aunt, my teenage sister, from New York). We decided to come up with a schedule, camp T-shirts, field trips and projects, all of our own choosing. Much to my surprise, my children not only agreed, but were excited about the idea.
Later that evening, I had a whopping headache as the idea of my children being home for 10 weeks—without a moment to myself—moved from my idealistic heart into my now panic-stricken brain. My husband assured me at least 100 times before and during Camp Kutliroff that I could do this and promised to give me extra time in the evenings for myself.
I spent the first few weeks of June researching camp ideas on the Internet. I was overwhelmed by the number of options in the Chicago area. My sister and I chose some of the best and most affordable ones. We planned a schedule of circle time, outdoor play and a different trip every day, interspersed with science, art and a few surprises.
Surprising success
Camp Kutliroff began as a huge success. We discovered many new things about our city. We visited the Skokie pool at least twice a week. We bought a pass to the Chicago Children's Museum. All the money we were saving allowed us to do a few fancier trips, such as making a camp mascot at the Build-A-Bear Workshop and becoming actors in a movie at the Museum of Science and Industry.
We even developed our own Web page, thanks to my computer-literate sister. We learned science from books checked out at the library. We made a backyard carnival complete with dollar-store prizes and Svetlana the clown (who looked a whole lot like Mommy in some funny clothes).
My kids were having a ball, we were saving a bundle of money and I was getting the opportunity to see my children in a whole new light. Instead of fighting with each other, my 8-year-old and 5-year-old were playing. Instead of ignoring the baby, they watched her take her first steps and walk to each of them. The looks of awe on their faces were priceless. Camp took on a life of its own as the kids came up with idea after idea.
As for time for myself, well, there just wasn't any. I would try to catch a few minutes here or there while the baby napped or my sister was outside with the older two. My husband made good on his promise to help. When he got home from work, he would send my sister and me out to the movies, shopping, dinner or just driving around town for some free time.
On a particularly hard day toward the end of the summer, I was ready to throw in the towel. I had no time to do laundry or clean my house—one of the few downsides to Camp Kutliroff. My kids were all in a funky mood this particular day. The baby wouldn't stop emptying the trash onto the floor. We had just come back from a long trip and I hadn't yet begun to think about dinner. I was ready to quit Camp Kutliroff and excused myself to my room.
With long faces, my kids followed me in and sat down. My daughter hugged me and said, "Mommy, I don't ever want to go to day camp again. Camp Kutliroff is the best camp on earth!"
My son agreed and asked if he could sign up a friend or two. He had mentioned camp to them and they were really interested in joining. Somehow that gave us all the strength to get through the rest of the day and enjoy what was left of our summer.
One of our last camp activities was a treasure hunt at a nearby park. My daughter was searching for the treasures when she jokingly said, "Mommy, look, I found our family." What she didn't realize is that she had pointed out the biggest treasure of all.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Princeton women's team continued its dominance at the Ivy League Round-Robins by claiming a third consecutive Ivy League Championship with an unbeaten record of 6-0.
Freshman foil Ambika Singh went 17-1 lead the Tigers to the title while claiming the Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie awards as voted on by the League's head coaches.
Sunday began with the fifth round, which proved pivotal as Columbia carried a 3-0 record into a showdown with Harvard. After the teams were tied at 9-9, the Lions sabre trio of Sammy Roberts and Loweye and Essane Diedro won three straight to stake Columbia to a 12-9 lead it would not relinquish en route to a 14-13 win. All told, the Lions again capitalized in sabre, besting Harvard 7-2 in the weapon. Harvard's two wins came as Caroline Vloka swept the Diedro twins (5-3 vs. Loweye and 5-2 vs. Essane). Roberts then downed Vloka, 5-2.
Also in round five, Princeton defeated Yale, 25-2, to move to 3-0 and Penn bested Cornell, 17-10.
The round five wins by Columbia and Princeton set up a showdown between the two 3-0 teams in round six. The teams were tied at 6-6 and then the Tigers rattled off five wins in a row to take the lead, 11-6. In epee, Columbia junior Lydia Kopecky came up with a win over Princeton junior Hannah Safford, 5-4, to move the score to 11-7. But back-to-back sabre wins by Joanna Cichomski and Diamond Wheeler moved the Tigers to within one win of the overall victory in the match. As it turned out, junior foilist Brianna Martin turned in the clinching win with a 5-2 victory over Columbia's Abby Caparros-Janto.
Also in round six, Harvard used a distinct 7-2 advantage in epee to beat Brown, 18-9, and Penn defeated Yale, 20-7, with 7-2 scores in sabre and foil.
The day ended with Princeton claiming the title in outright fashion thanks to a 23-4 win over Brown. Columbia downed Yale, 22-5, to take second and Harvard bested Cornell, 18-9, to finish third.

I really like the idea of having two options to choose from based on
a single variable (the time it takes to produce the resource). It might
seem overly simplified, but it actually encapsulates the problem well.
In fact, with one extra level of abstraction stating that "cache is just
another place to get the same thing", this could be further simplified
to something like:
Source soc = new SourceOfChoice(Source a, Source b);
Here, SourceOfChoice (or SoC, if you will ;) is only responsible of
tracking the time it takes to finish certain operation, such as the
retrieval of some resource, performing the load balancing calculations,
and delegating the requests accordingly. This design enforces SoC (in
its real meaning) and allows SourceOfChoice to focus on a very small
problem. ('Source' here, of course, isn't referring to Cocoon or TrAX
In complex applications this could result in a tree that automatically
optimizes the lookup paths (on a node level). I really don't know Cocoon
that well, but for 'some server application' the structure might look
something like:
/ \
[completely cached] [dynamic]
/ \
/ \
[cached] [dynamic]
/ \
Of course, the cost of making the must be justified by the
overall performance gain from adaptibility. The idea might also be
better applied to more complex applications (can't think of many,
though ;)
> But we don't stop here: we also have a way to measure the efficiency of

I've used an extremely simple, but quite powerful adaptive cache
implementation that periodically adjusts its size according to the
number of cache hits and misses. It supports pluggable capacity
adjustment algorithms and the default one works as follows:
if cacheMisses > maxMisses and currentCapacity < maxCapacity
increase capacity by cacheMisses / maxMisses * capacityIncrement
else if cacheMisses < minMisses and currentCapacity > minCapacity
decrease capacity by capacityDecrement
This simple approach is quite effective as it allows the capacity to
grow rapidly under high load conditions. I'm not sure if any of this is
really useful for Cocoon, but you never know ;)

Proximity to Victoria line was very good, but every time I entered the building there were semi-dressed people smoking at the front door. It wasn't a good look. The door of my room (14) squeaked so loudly that it woke everybody up. Every single time somebody use it. This was the most disappointing breakfast I've ever had. A bowl of crunchy sugar with skim milk, and two small rolls of dirty white bread. No butter! No juice! No water jug! No fruit! No brown bread! Shame on you!

Small B.C. community in mourning after four found dead in rural home
ASHCROFT, B.C. — A remote community in British Columbia's Interior is in mourning after police found four people dead in a home.
NEW GLASGOW – The next time you eat at a fast-food restaurant in Pictou County, you may be asked to leave your tray and trash at the table.
Since a new waste management program created by Pictou County Solid Waste came into effect on Jan. 1, the staff of fast-food restaurants will be handling the organic, recycling and trash themselves.
This means the familiar routine of trying to decide where your food waste goes at the end of a meal is coming to an end.
Carol MacKenzie, manager of the waste diversion program at Pictou County Solid Waste, said the new routine was implemented when a waste audit came back with some unsurprising news. "It found there were a lot of customers who were not sorting their waste properly."
The Department of the Environment has a mandate for municipalities to reduce all waste in Nova Scotia by 25 per cent by 2015, which translates into about 300 kg per person.
Jim Shaw, owner of the Tim Hortons/Wendy's franchise in Pictou County, says all fast food restaurants will be affected in the county.
"We are responsible for the waste we create," he said. "The solid waste coming from our restaurants was too mixed and too contaminated."
For Tim Hortons/Wendy's, customers are asked to leave their waste on the tables to allow employees to sort it, similar to a full service restaurant.
The two restaurants have cards on their tables informing customers of the changes. Stickers covering the openings for trash cans prevent people from throwing it out themselves.
MacKenzie says response from the business community has been positive. Staff at Solid Waste have taken photos of the materials thrown out in fast food restaurants and provided directions indicating what type of waste goes where.
Any public building that has a cafeteria, such as a school, will also be affected by the program.
"Pictou is the only county so far to take these measures to bring down the amount of waste we produce. We have the potential to be a model for the province."

htdig doesn't accept .cgi or /cgi-bin/ by default only because these
strings are in the default setting of exclude_urls. Just change that
parameter in your htdig.conf, and your off to the races. Be careful,
though, because if your site contains any CGIs that generate an infinite
virtual web tree, htdig will get stuck in that tree unless you prune it
somehow with exclude_urls patterns.

Hi All,
My theme Meditation got rejected a few days ago and I have no clue why. Here is the feedback I received from ThemeForest:
Unfortunately your submission Meditation – Clean & Minimalist isn't quite ready for ThemeForest and requires significant improvements and changes before it can be resubmitted and reconsidered.
Additionally, we have some extra feedback for you:
Unfortunately your submission doesn't meet our current minimum quality requirements for the category it was submitted to. Please consider taking some time to familiarize yourself with our current library and quality levels of popular items before resubmitting.
We appreciate your submission and look forward to seeing your future submissions.
As you can see, it's pretty hard to value such minimalist feedback… I was expecting something more constructive and helpful.Therefore, I appeal to you to help me find out why my theme was rejected:
- Do you think it would fit better in another category? (currently submitted to "Creative")
- Can you help me point out the design "mistakes"?
- Is there enough features? Should I add more page templates (such as Portfolio)?
Any helpful comment would be greatly appreciated.
Moved to Item Discussion
I think this is good at the old style .. looks quite outdated compare to new themes.

The closest I can come is Ila McAvoy, who plays the mother in the scene. Hmmm...

DD is 52 ish inches tall and about 55 pounds dripping wet. The size eight shirt fits (although I haven't washed it yet), and the size 8 vest is a bit big, but doesn't look funny. When we bought it, eight was the largest size available. DD is thrilled. She will have some growing room, and had been begging for a vest for a while. I don't think I would have been happy with the size 7, as I think it might have been a bit short. DD is well proportioned/average, just small. Her size eight slim pants usually require that we crank the elastic down around the waist so they will stay up.HTH!

A CHEESEBURGER and democracy to go? Not quite, but politically active Californians have been able to cast election ballots from the comfort of their cars at a one-off drive-through voting booth.
The drive-through voting system has opened in Santa Ana, south-east of Los Angeles, as part of a push to encourage Californian voters to register and vote ahead of the November 4 US presidential polls.
"We want to do everything we can to take the stress off at the voting precincts on election day," Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley said.
The booth was set up at the registrar's offices in Santa Ana, with voters directed into lanes before casting their ballots at eight voting machines. The machines used were designed to meet disability requirements, making them also compatible with vehicles, Mr Kelley said.
Californian election officials are forecasting a record turn-out across the state for this year's polls. Mr Kelley said the number of people registering to vote by postal ballots had soared from about 330,000 in 2004 to 600,000 this year.

The 'Hart of Dixie' star and her director husband post a photo of their new baby's fingers on Instagram.
After eight long years of being together as a couple, actress Jaime King and her husband, director Kyle Newman welcomed their first child together. The baby was due for a delivery date sometime between October and November but as the couple revealed in a photo of the new baby's tiny fingers on Newman's Instagram account, their bundle of joy already arrived a little earlier than expected, ending their long wait.
"Nice to meet you! #FATHER #IMADAD #BABYTIME @jaime_king is doing amazing! The most incredible feeling," Newman captioned the photo. King previoulsy said she wanted to have at least three kids with the "Fanboys" director whom she met on the set of the 2009 comedy flick where she became a part of the cast ensemble.
The birth of their baby came in less than two months after they hosted a "Star Wars"-themed baby shower at Soho House in Los Angeles. Attending the star-studded event and bringing special gifts for the then forthcoming baby were such Hollywood celebrities as Jessica Alba, Selma Blair and Ashley Madekwe, plus King's "Hart of Dixie co-stars Rachel Bilson, Wilson Bethel and Claudia Lee.
King and Newman have been married since November 2007. Erlier this year, in May, they happily announced that they were finally expecting their first child. Prior to their wedding, the couple had already been living together for two years after just three months of dating, after they first met while working on their "Star Wars"-inspired comedy movie.

I had my Smart Lipo MPX done 4days ago for my upper and lower tummy, love handles, and arms. It took 5 hours for the procedure. It didn't really hurt me at the beginning but towards the end, I think because of the numbing medication wearing off, it hurt me a lot, especially when the fiber (part of the fat) got vaccumed out.
My doctors were really nice, there were 2 doctors and 1 assistant in the room to do my procedure. They stopped my procedure because they thought I couldn't handle the pain any longer.
I started weighing 190lbs and as of today i Weigh 185lbs. I didn't have any desire to eat for 3 days. I'm burising and swelling a lot and It's still hard for me to walk. When I stand up or sit down too much, it hurts the tummy muscle and I get nausea.
Tomorrow, I will have another surgery to continue the procedure, hopefully it will be better. So far my lower tummy has gotten flatter than before the surgery. My arms are okay, not really suprised with the result. Tomorrow they will do my upper tummy.
On a second thought, i think everybody has different pain tolerance, because today my mom also got a smart lipo for her tummy and she is doing totallly fine. She didnt feel pain as much as I did and she thinks I'm just being a baby!
Hopefully this will give you a better understanding before doing the surgery.

Loss gives Mountain school incentive to rebound at OFSAA

 By Mark Newman, News Staff

 With both teams guaranteed a spot at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) AAA/AAAA championships later this month, Wednesday afternoon's Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference (GHAC) boys hockey final did not have the atmosphere of urgency or season-ending elimination of previous years.

And the St. Jean de Brebeuf Braves played like it.

"We played our worst game of the season," said Braves head coach Mark Fama after his troops were thumped 8-1 by Halton champion Abbey Park Eagles from Oakville at the Morgan Firestone Arena in Ancaster. "They were flat and it showed right from the first period onward."

Matt Hogan scored the Braves only goal of the game in the second period.

Chris Boushy and Foster Cuomo scored two goals each for Abbey Park, while Evan Herniak, Cam McKenzie, Alex Cox and Alex Harshaw scored one goal each.

"I think the guys had OFSAA on their minds," said Braves forward Jake Morrison.

The 18-year-old fifth year student said the one-sided loss does not reflect the team's ability and it will serve as an incentive for the Braves to pick up their game at the provincial tournament in Oakville March 18-21.

Another Supreme Court battle on Obamacare?
As I write this, we're still awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the contraception mandate, which is expected some Monday or Thursday before the end of the month.
It's important for reasons that, at this point, I don't think you need me to spell out, and it will mark the second time the judicial nine have weighed in on Obamacare. The first, as you'll recall, was in June 2012 and established both the law's constitutionality and the "You can't force states to expand Medicaid" situation that is proving particularly pivotal in Pennsylvania.
(It also, you may recall, plunged me headlong into health care reporting my first week at the Business Journal. In retrospect, it was a pretty good introduction to the wild ride that has been covering Obamacare.)
I mention those two decisions because Joe Carlson thinks a third may be coming. He's a writer at Modern Healthcare, and his article, "Obamacare legal battle threatens subsidies for millions," is why I'm blogging about this today.
If you haven't been paying close attention, Carlson's story may strike you as a bit of a bolt from the blue. "What," you may think, "a big threat to Obamacare and I've never heard of it?"
Actually, you have, because I've mentioned it a number of times. Here are a few of them:
• I'm a little surprised that 48 economists thought Halbig v. Sebelius — the case to decide whether subsidies can be offered on exchanges not directly established by states — important enough to merit filing this friend-of-the-court brief.
• This issue hasn't been getting much attention lately, but it hasn't gone away yet, either: Judge declines to halt 'Obamacare' insurance subsidies, and Indiana school districts sue over Obamacare.
• One significant undercurrent in the issue, explained well here, is the issue of whether subsidies will indeed be available for federally run exchanges. The official word is that of course they will be, but opponents of the PPACA have not all entirely abandoned hope that the courts will hold with their reading of the law, which is that it authorizes subsidies only for state-run exchanges. In that scenario, the argument goes, a federally run exchange could mean no subsidies and, in turn, possibly no employer or individual mandates.
In short, the issue hasn't been a headliner because, well, it had appeared to be a really, really long shot. Carlson, however, makes it significantly closer. And I quote: "Experts say the issue is probably headed to the Supreme Court, which is likely to rule no sooner than the spring of 2015."
What do you think: Does this thing stand a good chance of hitting our highest court? Or are Carlson and his experts a little overwrought?
I'm venturing no pronouncements on that, but I will say this: It would certainly set up a paradigm shift on state marketplace decisions. If you recollect, the feds tried really hard to get states to set up their own, and on the disastrous federal launch it looked as if states like Pennsylvania should have maybe taken the money to run the marketplace themselves.
But then the federal site got better, and a bunch of the state sites were still terrible, and now some states are scrapping their sites and jumping into the federal pool. Oh, and Sebelius successor Sylvia Mathews Burwell has made noises to the effect that states with failed sites may have to pay back the federal funds spent on them.
So, Pennsylvania's decision to go federal has been looking better lately -- but if the Supreme Court ruled that it means Pennsylvania enrollees are ineligible for subsidies, it would flip the perspective again. Unless you're an opponent of the law, in which case the opposite. And now I'm getting dizzy.

When a truck ploughed into the Acton tunnel last October, 20 kilometres of Australian companies records shook, and records of the great shearers' and maritime workers' strikes of the 1890s shuddered.
Maggie Shapley was on holiday, but trembled too. The ANU archivist feels overwhelmed each time she turns the lights on in the cool bunker that curves the same as the Parkes Way tunnel on which it sits.
Ms Shapley was relieved dog-eared volumes going back to the early 1800s, and thousands of boxes of files, each placed in a freezer for two weeks to kill any silverfish before they were stowed, had escaped harm in the crash.
The bunker holds the Noel Butlin Archives Centre comprising records of Australian companies and trade unions, two collections on the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Register and minute books of pre-Federation trade unions. ANU archives are there too, including papers of former vice-chancellors, famous scientists and academics from Fenner to Oliphant.
Files from Australia's response to HIV AIDS stand among the records.
When Parkes Way planners took their road through ANU's boundary, they put land on top as a trade off. What was meant to be a car park on the land has been used for archives, which sit under Livesidge Street, and bring researchers, biographers, family history sleuths and academics from around Australia and overseas.
"It is a gold mine for researchers," Ms Shapley says. "Records are created for one purpose, but people find lots of other ways to use them, to do what they are doing," she said.
Records of the old Tooth and Co, which once owned hotels throughout NSW, lure heritage architects, local historians and people converting pubs into homes to rifle through plans and photos.
No law compels organisations to use the archives, yet trade unions are among the most enthusiastic storers.
"You are fairly confident you haven't got any skeletons in the closet," Ms Shapley said. "There often is a correlation between who is willing to deposit and who absolutely won't," Ms Shapley says. "A very strong correlation between accountability and record keeping."
Ms Shapley says it would be almost impossible to digitise the entire collection. "There is over 20 kilometres of records, just thinking if that were all on A4 pages that could fit through a feeder on a photocopier which could be scanned and run continuously, my calculation is it would take 2000 years for a person to copy the records."
Records are continually growing, handled by six archivists, all fit from lifting, carrying and retrieving, and conscious of the weight accumulating above the cars and trucks beneath them. "It is forbidden under pain of extreme sanctions to load records on top of stacks," says a sign on each of the stacks, in case these keepers of history forget.

UPLAND farmers are to get an extra £26 per hectare in Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments from next year, the Government has announced.
Hundreds of farmers in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales will be among those to benefit from the reform, which will see payments rise to around £56 per hectare from January 1, 2015.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said: "Moorland farmers play a vital role in managing some our most treasured landscapes. This payment increase will help farmers maintain our moorlands and deliver a significant boost for tourism and the rural economy in these areas."
Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron, who chairs the the All Party Parliamentary Group on Hill Farming, said: "This is good news and has shown that our lobbying has paid off. This funding will help support upland farmers who tend our landscape.
"I will keep fighting for our farmers and doing all I can to support them."
Penrith and the Border MP Rory Stewart said: "Our farmers operating within the moorland line and working some of the toughest land in the country perform an incredible role not only in producing food, but continuing their age-old function of managing our habitat and maintaining the landscape that is so central to this part of the country.
"By transferring funds from Entry Level Stewardship schemes to Single Farm Payments there will, however, be less money for commoning farmers, so we need to ensure that active commoners continue to be properly rewarded for the work they do, too."

- Photos capture beauty of Yorkshire Dales
Country, Land and Business Association (CLA) president Henry Robinson said: "This is a victory for the CLA and its upland members. Analysis has shown that farm business incomes in moorland areas will increase significantly if there is an uplift in payments under the implementation of Common Agricultural Policy reform.
"The uplift will improve the fortunes of farmers in moorland areas and boost farm business incomes across a great number of upland farms."
Mr Robinson said the impact of taking 'a few pounds' per hectare from lowland farmers to provide additional support in the uplands would 'make a huge difference to the viability of farms and businesses in the most challenging landscapes'.
He added: "Farms in moorland areas have significant environmental, economic and social value and this analysis underlines the need for support to be given to them. We welcome the Environment Secretary's decision. Now farmers in upland areas will have more certainty about the incomes post-2015."

what is avi?
AVI, the abbreviation of Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), is a multimedia container format containing both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. Even though AVI video compression algorithm uses lossy compression (support 256 colors and RLE compression) that is not good in video quality compared by lossless compression, it is still widely used in the area of multimedia storage, like DV, camcorder, broadcast wave, film post-production, etc.

AVI is well-known since its first introduced preinstalled in windows 3.1 by Microsoft in November 1992,
header: contains metadata about the video, such as its width, height and frame rate
chunks:An AVI file may carry audio/visual data inside the chunks in virtually any compression scheme, including Full Frame (Uncompressed), Intel Real Time (Indeo), Cinepak, Motion JPEG, Editable MPEG, VDOWave, ClearVideo / RealVideo, QPEG, and MPEG-4 Video.
index: indexes the offsets of the data chunks within the file.
• 4 bytes: an ASCII identifier for this chunk (examples are "fmt " and "data"; note the space in "fmt ").
• 4 bytes: an unsigned, little-endian 32-bit integer with the length of this chunk (except this field itself and the chunk identifier).
• variable-sized field: the chunk data itself, of the size given in the previous field.
• a pad byte, if the chunk's length is not even.
As Audio and video are individual stored in AVI file, we can merge the audio from an avi file into another avi video file. AVI has a closer relationship with WAV which is the audio signal source of AVI video. The audio parameters of AVI equals to WAV audio parameters, besides, AVI file also contains other parameters related to audio.
Using the method of synchronization to control parameters, AVI can apply to replay circumstance through self-adjustment. if the process ability of MPC is not high enough, and the avi data ratio is a little big, when playing avi in windows, video player can achieve the effect of audio-video synchronization by the way of abandon some certain frames and adjusting actual playing data ratio.
when playing an avi file. This method can significantly enhance system working efficiency, and at the same time realize quick loading avi and quick launching playing program to reduce the waiting time of playing avi.
AVI file structure not only resolve the audio-video synchronization problem, but also has universal and open features. It can work under any windows environment, and has extensive environment function. User can develop his own AVI video file and call it at any time in windows.
AVI adapts lossy compression, which can be re-edited and processed by the use of general video editing software, Adobe premiere, MediaStudio, etc.
1. H.264/MPEG-4AVC VideoFormat(*.avi): An extending video format of MPEG-4, has higher compression ratio.
2. AVI —Audio-Video.lnterleaved(*.avi):Format synchronized with audio

A long train ride or sitting in traffic for hours each day can no doubt take its toll on your stress level and your health, but a recent study says it can also put a strain on your relationship -- especially when one spouse commutes long distances every day and the other one doesn't. Researchers at Umea University in Sweden surveyed 2 million households and found that when one partner has an extended commute, a couple's chance of divorce increases by 40 percent.
"One of the long-term risks with commuting is that it can sustain gender-based stereotypes both at home and in the labour market," Erika Sandow, who authored the study, told The Local, an English language news website in Sweden. When a husband is required to commute, she found, his wife is more likely to take a lower-paying job close to home and to take on even more of the household and childrearing responsibilities than she might otherwise.
There are plenty of one-commuter households in the U.S., too, and we're guessing that the problems commuting can cause in a marriage aren't exclusively Swedish. If you or your spouse has a long commute, there are ways to decrease the strain it can place on your marriage. Try these steps offered by Dr. Judith Coche, a clinical psychologist and couples counselor in Philadelphia, and Rachel Sussman, a licensed clinical social worker and New York City couples therapist:
1. Identify The Real Problem
"It's not the commuting per se" that keeps a relationship from working, says Coche. "It's about the distance between the people."
That means the two of you should schedule a time to sit down and talk about the various issues caused by the commute and get to the root of what's upsetting you. If you've been complaining about how much of the housework becomes your responsibility when your partner spends so much time in transit, ask yourself if your resentment is actually about career opportunities you're missing because you need to be home more. If you're the commuter, maybe you're looking for recognition of how hard you work and feel underappreciated when you come home to criticism.
2. Implement Solutions
"Make a plan to try to improve things in the relationship that are lacking," says Sussman. "If you're not spending enough time with the children or helping enough around the house, see if there are other ways that can be accomplished."
Perhaps it's time to pay for some extra help around the house, or the commuting spouse might need to commit extra time on the weekends. Moving or switching jobs is probably not an option -- if it were, you probably wouldn't be in this situation in the first place -- so focus on solving the problems that are within in your control.
3. Phone Home
If you drive to and from work, resist making work-related calls the whole time. If you carpool or take the train, don't dive right back into that spreadsheet as soon as you leave work. Take a few minutes to phone your spouse -– preferably at the same time every day. And try to make the conversation enjoyable, Sussman suggests. Don't "just give each other a to-do list."
4. Demystify The Commute
Does the same weird guy sit next to you every day on the bus? Does one exit on the highway back up at the exact same time every morning without fail? You might be tired of thinking about either by the time you get home, but if it's part of your day, you should be talking about it.
The commuting spouse "begins to have another world that they go out in to," says Coche. "Everyone thinks of this as a nonevent, but it really is an event."
So make the commute part of your daily conversation: it's a psychological strategy to decrease the effects of the physical distance. If you really want to know what your partner's mornings are like, Coche suggests you tag along one day.
"Make the commute something that the partner understands," she emphasizes.
5. Find Things To Do Together -- While You're Apart
"If you are going to be spending time apart, read the same book or article, do the same hobby, whether you're playing solitaire online or Scrabble," says Sussman. "When you get together you can discuss it."
Do you drive several hours per day? Try listening to a book on tape while your spouse reads the print or ebook version. Remember, you're trying to minimize the mental and emotional distance between you in whatever ways you can.
