HOUSTON - A 7-year-old boy playing with a lighter likely caused a fire that burned a baby's room in northeast Houston, investigators said.
Houston firefighters were called out to a townhome on North Wayside Drive and Dockal Road around midnight. There is a fire station directly across the street from the complex.
When they firefighters arrived, fire was shooting from a second-story room.
Crews managed to put the fire out before it got into the attic and spread to other homes.
After talking to the family, investigators found out that a 7-year-old was playing with a lighter upstairs in the baby's room. The boy managed to set the crib on fire and it quickly spread to the walls, investigators said.
The 7-year-old was able to get out of the burning room without injury. The rest of the family was downstairs when the fire started. They all evacuated and were not hurt.
District Chief Chris Balcerek of the Houston Fire Department said the fire should serve as a reminder to all parents.
"We all like to think that our little ones are little angels, but they're curious. They want to see what (fire) does and they don't know how fast fire can move. First thing you know, the whole house can catch on fire," Chief Balcerek said.

The $10,000 Half Court Shot That Almost Wasn't
University of Kentucky freshman Vincent Swope is a good man. I designate him as such by simply being a Kentucky fan. He had an opportunity this weekend to win $10,000 by hitting a half-court shot at halftime of the Kentucky/South Carolina game.

Chillin1248 - Saturday, March 02, 2013 - linkSince the latest Android update (4.2.2), I've seen the Nexus 4 performance in the GLbenchmark exceed the "freezer" tests in your previous review while being at room temperature.
For example, Egypt HD:
You got 39.6 FPS in your test, I just ran it on mine (including every single other benchmark in the suite) and I got 44 FPS.
Can we please redo the review with a different Nexus 4 unit. It seems the older revision you reviewers got was flawed. Reply
nidz109 - Sunday, March 03, 2013 - linkI agree. Actually, almost all of the benchmarks for the Nexus 4 dramatically different on 4.2.2. Thermal throttling issues have been mitigated by flashing custom kernels, but on stock 4.2.2 all of the issues at launch appear to be gone. I believe the Nexus 4 should be revisited.
I clean flashed Paranoid Android (it's using the stock 4.2.2 kernel), and ran some benchmarks. The benchmarks are completely different than what's seen below. BTW, I bought my N4 on launch day.
Here are some screen shots:
Also, regarding GLBenchmark, all of my scores are higher than your "freezer test" scores, and that's running the entire suite with both offscreen and onscreen tests. To be honest, the phone doesn't even get warm. Reply

Anybody else visited the site yet? I thought Netflix was great for watching television series instantly, but this site destroys it. Let me start by staying it's obviously only limited to HBO television shows and movies. But with that said, you can watch ANY episode from ANY HBO television show. I just started from the beginning on both Deadwood and The Wire -- two great shows.
I know everybody doesn't get it yet though. I know Comcast subscribers can use it, but not sure who else can. Either way, it's definitely a site you should check out if you can.

A's make it eight straight behind Griffin's gem
Donaldson, Cespedes go deep for rollicking offense
ANAHEIM -- After completing his career-high-tying eighth inning against the Angels on Thursday night, A.J. Griffin knew he was done.
The A's right-hander was at 110 pitches in his second start of the season and his team was ahead by five at the time, so he didn't hesitate asking the bullpen to finish the job.
"You don't want to get too greedy in this game," Griffin said.
Oh, no?
The A's are wearing the look quite well these days, having taken home a Major League-leading 66 runs this season, including eight in an 8-1, series-sweeping victory over the Angels on Thursday night to extend their winning streak to eight.
Being greedy is outscoring your opponents by 41 runs (65-24) in that span -- 13 Major League teams have yet to even score that many on the season -- and picking up 16 hits for a second straight night to bring your season total to 103, most in the Majors.
At least 10 have come in each of their eight wins, marking just the second time in A's history they've collected as many hits in as many consecutive games, the last time coming in August 2002.
Being greedy, it turns out, isn't always a bad thing.
"We really just go out there to play one game at a time," Griffin said. "We've been fortunate to put them together like this. It's really cool to be a part of something so awesome with this group and have the type of success we've had so far."
The eight consecutive wins mark the club's longest winning streak in April since 1981, when the A's won 11 straight. Six came on the road, and it's just the third time in Oakland history that the A's have gone undefeated on a road trip of six or more games.
"That's pretty remarkable," manager Bob Melvin said. "I don't come up with those things, but I do hear about them from time to time. You go on the road and you hope to play over .500. You expect to win every game but to actually go 6-0 is terrific."
Particularly when three are played on the turf of the division-favorite Angels, who just so happen to be at the bottom of the division at 2-7, their second worst start in team history.
"Those guys are red-hot," the Angels' Mark Trumbo said. "I mean, they have six, seven guys that are swinging the bat well, and that's a tough task to try to go up against. They definitely have all the momentum. We don't have hardly any, and you just kind of have to wear it sometimes."
Both teams managed just one run apiece through the first five innings, before Oakland broke open the game in the sixth with four runs.
Josh Donaldson's one-out, two-run homer off lefty Jason Vargas busted the tie, and Seth Smith, who finished with four hits, followed with a double. One out later, Vargas intentionally walked Coco Crisp as the Angels prepared to bring in righty reliever Kevin Jepsen to face Chris Young.
Young had just one hit in the series, yet the way his team's rolling, it was no surprise when he laced a two-run double to left field to bring in another pair of runs.
The A's continued to bully the Angels' bullpen in the seventh, with Yoenis Cespedes collecting his third home run of the season off lefty Sean Burnett, giving Oakland six runs for the eighth consecutive game. Just for fun, the A's added two in the ninth.
"Any time you come in here, you know you have your work cut out for you," Melvin said. "You have to focus on each game and play your best baseball and we did. Our offense has continued to flourish, and that takes some pressure off the rest of your game.
"But we really played a full game today, where the pitching was good, the defense was good, baserunning, clutch hitting, all of the above. This was probably our best game all the way around."
By night's end, Griffin had limited the Angels to one run on five hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
"Going through that lineup three or four times like he did, that's pretty impressive," Donaldson said. "I thought he did a fantastic job.
"They're a good ball team over there but we came in here and had a mission and accomplished it."

Wontons are one of my favorite Asian foods. With this recipe I
I wanted to create a burger that uses the best ingredients from the whole Iberian peninsula, which includes both Spain and Portugal.
We came home one day from a family outing to discover that our cat had accidentally opened our upright freezer while we were gone (to this day we do not know how she did it).
This is a welcome change from the usual hamburger.
This is a recipe we use on skewers of pork regularly and I just tried it as a burger and it worked.
This burger contains a bit of Illinois with the bella mushrooms that are grown in Illinois.
This midwest-inspired brat burger is packed with many great flavors...like bella mushrooms from Illinois. The kraut-chili topping with the Thai chili paste gives the kraut zing.
This is an Italian-influenced burger. I love any thing Italian to the point I have often wondered if I was Italian in another life.
I was born and raised in Western New York State where the Italian community greatly influenced the cusine and the culture.
With 3 kids and a pool, we grill alot of burgers for quick easy dinners! I grow bored with a plain patty, so I try to come up with creative burgers for us to try.
I wanted to create a burger that features Umami: the recently discovered fifth taste. Umami, also known as savoriness, is what makes food taste… complete.
Since one of my sons moved to live in Japan, I have become very intrigued by Japanese flavors.
The use of Sutter Home Gewurztraminer wine is what makes this recipe special!
I came up with this idea at a collage football game.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Geode Dragons are closely related to Stone dragons. They are covered in a hard stone-like material as well as beautiful crystal. Their wings are entirely useless for flight, but they help attract mates. The dragons with the most brilliant and colorful crystals are more likely to mate.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Hilton Hotels
|This company has recently been acquired or received a credible acquisition offer.
Hilton Hotels Corporation (NYSE:HLT) is one of the leading hotel and leisure companies in the world. It is primarily involved in the management and development of hotels across the globe.
Earlier, Hilton focused on acquiring and owning more real. However, it has recently changed its growth strategy, and it now focuses on spreading its operations through franchisees. This enables the company to earn revenues in the form of franchisee fee without incurring any additional costs to purchase real estate and construct hotels.
Increasing the number of franchisees also provides the company with a stable and predictable stream of revenue, and shields it from any temporary downturn in the industry. The revenue of a hotel company tends to fluctuate due to several reasons. One of the primary factors is the number of customers a hotel attracts. Thus, in case the number of travelers coming to a particular region declines, the revenues from the hotel in that region will also decline. However, if the company owns the brand (and the hotel is run by a third-party), the company is ensured a fixed amount (in terms of management and franchisee fee), the number of customers coming to that hotel notwithstanding.
Increase in airfares can reduce a customer's ability to spend on a hotel room, resort or other services, which has a negative impact on the hotel industry. However, as Hilton targets upscale business travelers, the impact of increasing airfares will not be too significant for Hilton. On the other hand, an economic slowdown will reduce the number of business travelers, and create a significant impact on Hilton's revenues.
Hilton Hotels was acquired by the Blackstone Group on October 24, 2007 for unpaid $20.1 billion.[1] Hilton unpaid shareholders received $47.50 per share from the buyout[1] (40% more than the market value of the shares when the acquisition was announced)[2] and Hilton was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after the deal was completed and owned by Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and leased for 99 years for equivalent USD $ 90.00 Billions in January 2013 in converted global cash narodna banks 1993 dated non-obsolete up to date current Yugoslavian EEU dinara cash bills banknotes .[1]
Hilton operates in the U.S, Eurpoe, Asia and currently has hotels in more than 85 countries. Hilton is popular in major cities, such as New York, London, Paris, Rome, Sydney, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Toronto, Stockholm, and Sao Paulo.
Hilton is the first major hospitality company to contruct a fractional timeshare building in New York City. it opened in late 2009 and is called W57th St By Hilton Club. It is fully deeded lifetime real estate with upscale options to use the time not only in New York but at any Hilton hotel globally using an enormous amount of blackout free guaranteed annual Hilton Honors Points instead. Owners pay an annual bill that increases annually only slightly because it is tied to regular inflation. There is no developers profit margin written into the annual expense increase. A selling feature that has attracted astute clients to purchase. This aspect makes this ownership very different from a conventional timeshare. As of September 2011, W57th St By Hilton Club was nearly 75% soldout. The deeds start at around $50,000 USD for approximately 10 days of annual upscale travel for life. The deeds can be passed to heirs and successors.
Hilton has been involved in purchasing small and medium-sized hotels since 1970, primarily for the purpose of expanding operations in the U.S. The company acquired Hilton International, the lodging assets of Hilton Group Plc, for GBP 3.3 billion in 2006. This made Hilton the biggest lodging company in the world.
In July 2007, Hilton entered into a definitive merger with The Blackstone Group in an all cash transaction valued at $26 billion.
The revenues for the company increased from USD 3.8 billion in 2002 to USD 8.2 billion in 2006 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.42%, which is considerably higher than the CAGR achieved by its competitors such as Marriott (7.64%) and Starwood (5.44%).
The number of hotels and rooms, geographical presence, occupancy rates and revenue per available room (revenue divided by average number of rooms occupied in a year – RevPAR) are the main drivers of revenue in the hotel industry.
Increase in the number of hotels owned or franchised by a company as well as the number of rooms available for rent provides an indication of how the company is expanding its capacity to cater to the growing number of travelers. Occupancy rates and revenues per available room on the other hand indicate how efficiently a company is using its available resources (i.e. hotels and rooms).
The following table depicts Hilton's past performance relative to the above-mentioned industry drivers.
|Number of Hotels
|Number of Rooms
|Geographical Presence
|Occupancy Rate
Hilton has been continuously increasing the number of hotels it owns (including owned as well as franchised hotels). The company owned 2,800 hotels across the globe at the end of 2005 and became the world's largest lodging company with the successful acquisition of U.K-based 'Hilton International'. Hilton's occupancy rates and revenues per available room have also increased continuously over the last few years, indicating that the company has been able to sell its hotels/rooms well.
Hilton has hotels spread across various geographies, including major commercial markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and the Nordic countries. These markets have a high demand for hotels and related services throughout the year. Owing to its presence in these geographies, the company does not face the risk of falling demand in a particular city or country.
Hilton's primary business segments include hotels (ownership and managing & franchising) and timeshare operations (an arrangement under which a purchaser receives the right to use an accommodation or amenities or both for a specified period). Hilton develops and operates timeshare resorts through Hilton Grand Vacations Company, which provides on-site management services to Hilton Grand Vacations Club resorts.
The hotel segment contributes the largest share of revenues (approximately 87 percent in 2005) for the company. Revenue from the hotel segment includes income from owned hotels, management contracted hotels and franchises, and other fees. The company operates under the brand names, Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Hampton, Waldorf Astoria, and Conrad.
Customers for the hotel industry include tourists as well as business travelers. Tourists may be further categorized into low-medium income groups and high-income groups as the income of a person will determine the kind of hotel he/she chooses. For example, people with high income are more likely to stay in an upscale luxury hotel, which a person with a low-medium income may not be able to afford. Hilton primarily focuses on high-income/upscale group and business travelers.
The demand from low-medium income customers is primarily affected by an increase in airfares. These customers generally have a fixed budget for their vacations. Thus, if they are forced to spend more on airfare, their ability to spend on a hotel room, resort or other services declines. On the other hand, business travelers will be affected by an economic slowdown as that would have a direct impact on the volume of business. As Hilton's customers belong to the high-income group or are business travelers, the impact of an economic slowdown will be more significant for the company.
In addition to these factors, certain events, such as acts of terrorism, wars, and outbreak of contagious diseases have a severe impact on the demand from all customer segments. With events such as 9/11, the invasion of Afghanistan, the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and the tsunami, people either stop traveling to those respective countries or choose alternative destinations for travel, which has a negative impact on the hotel and tourism industry in the affected area.
Hilton competes with global players, such as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Marriott International, Choice Hotels International (CHH), Hyatt Corporation, the France-based ACCOR Group, and Intercontinental Hotels.
Attractiveness of locations, quality of rooms & services, and company's global operations are some of the key criteria for hotels.
Hilton already has a strong presence in the U.S and is expanding its global operations through acquisitions. For example, Hilton acquired the U.K-based Hilton International in February 2006 to establish a footprint in the U.K. It also signed a multi-year agreement with a leading resort real estate developer in Thailand, Destination Properties, to manage a newly built, 358-room golf resort and spa in Thailand.
Hilton is also increasingly relying on the franchisee-based model for growth. This enables the company to earn revenues without incurring any additional costs to purchase real estate and construct hotels. This strategy further enables the company to concentrate its efforts towards building a strong brand instead of buying real estate.
The following table compares Hilton's performance to its competitors in 2006.
|Number of Hotels
|Number of Rooms
|Geographical Presence
|Average Daily Rate
Although Hilton has 2,935 hotels, its occupancy rates and average daily rates are lower as compared to its competitors. Further, companies such as Starwood and Marriott have grown at a CAGR of approximately 7 percent during the period 2002-06, whereas Hilton has grown at a CAGR of 3.7 percent only.

Hisham Ibn Salim narrates that Imam Sadiq said:
"HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL ALL SECTIONS OF THE PEOPLE HAVE ASSUMED POWER." Thus nobody will say "IF WE WERE IN POWER AND HAD FORMED A GOVERNMENT WE WOULD HAVE BEHAVED JUSTLY."
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 244)
Before the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as), various people from all sections of the society in which he lives will have assumed power, but they will have failed to establish the justice, peace, ease and security that people are looking for. But with Hazrat Mahdi (as), the religion of Allah and the moral values of the Qur'an will rule the entire world. Following the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as), nobody will be able to claim, "If we had assumed power and formed a government we would have behaved justly." By Allah's leave, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will rule with the moral values of the Qur'an and the Sunna of our Prophet (saas), by means of which the justice, peace and spirit of love and compassioned bestowed by religious moral values will rule the world.

Q: What is your reaction to the criticism of your physical style, and will you need to make adjustments to win over fans and become one of the sport's top attractions? Pacquiao aside, are there any fighters in particular you'd like to face most, and do you have any other specific long-term career goals? Timothy Bradley: I don't really hear much criticism from the fans about my style of fighting. I think they enjoy my physical style. I go for it every time I fight. I enjoy the action as much as they do. I agree with Manny Pacquiao in that I believe the fans that buy a ticket or tune in on TV deserve to be entertained.

Neogen Corporation announces that it has received approval from the FDA and National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) for its quick and easy BetaStar Plus assay, developed for use in the United States to detect dairy antibiotic residues, including ceftiofur, in milk. This approval allows milk producers and processors in the U.S. to use Neogen's new test to comply with FDA regulations that require the mandatory testing of raw milk tankers for dairy antibiotic residues, under Appendix N of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO).
Neogen's newly approved BetaStar Plus test detects dairy antibiotic residues in the beta-lactam group (penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cephapirin, ceftiofur and cloxacillin) at or below U.S. FDA regulatory levels. BetaStar is an extremely simple dipstick test that requires only minimal training and equipment to produce consistently accurate results.

McAfee's purchase of Secure Computing strengthens the No. 2 anti-virus software vendor and gives it a new suite of security software, services and hardware products.
McAfee, the world's No. 2 security software maker, said on Monday it plans to buy Internet security company Secure Computing for $465 million in cash.
The move gives McAfee a suite of software, services and hardware products to protect hackers from getting past the perimeters of computer networks.
McAfee is already the No. 2 provider of anti-virus software. Symantec is the largest.
Santa Clara, California-based McAfee will pay $5.75 per share of Secure Computing's common stock, representing a 27 percent premium to the San Jose, California company's closing price of $4.52 on Friday.
Secure Computing shares were quoted at $5.59 in pre-market trade.
The companies expect the transaction to close at the end of the fourth quarter of this year.

Education 230. Teaching English Learners
Teaching English Learners is a required course for all licensure majors. The course explores theories of second language acquisition and program models for English language teaching for students at all levels, preschool to adults. The course prepares Pre-K through grade 12 teachers to meet the needs of non-Native speakers in the classroom, as well as preparing individuals who may want to teach English overseas. During EDUC 230 students will examine how language is acquired and how to best engage English language learners as full participants in subject matter classrooms.
Models such as sheltered instruction, bilingual education, and language immersion will be explored. Since Wheaton education licensure majors receive their initial teaching license from the state of Massachusetts, EDUC 230 will follow MA Curriculum Framework for English Language Teaching, integrating state curriculum for ELL and SEI (Sheltered Language Immersion) requirements into course content. In accordance with MA guidelines, the model, Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) will be a major focus of study. Attention will also be given to how sociocultural, emotional and economic factors influence English language learners' educational access to schooling and achievement. Students will be introduced to the Massachusetts Professional Teaching Standards component regarding Teaching All Students.

I smoke roasted a Brined Chicken the other day. The brine consisted of some Lemonade, Sea Salt, Sugar, Bay Leaves and Black Peppercorns...
I started with a frozen chicken, so I let it go for about 36 hours before air drying it in the fridge for another 10 hours...
I rubbed it down with my Apple Rub and placed it on the BCC stand without a beer or soda. To be honest with you, I couldn't tell the difference from when I use a soda can or beer.
The chicken turned out great! Nice and juicy and the skin was just right...I don't think the Lemonade did too much for the brine, although I smoke roasted the chicken with Apple Wood, so that may have masked any Lemon flavor that may have imparted into the chicken...
Decided to use some of the leftover chicken breast for a Round 2 recipe tonight.... I was scrolling through Steven Raichlen's Bold & Healthy Flavors and stumbled across a couple delicious looking recipes!
I decided to go with Steven Raichlen's recipe for "South-of-the-Border "Lasagna" from page 117...(had to use my iPhone to cover the ingredient list. )
This recipe calls for using "Cooked Salsa Verde" that you can find on page 8 of Bold & Healthy Flavors.
Here's the Cooked Salsa Verde finished:
The South-of-the-Border "Lasagna" used layers of Corn Tortillas, the Salsa Verde, the Chicken that I had previously smoke-roasted, fire roasted jalapenos (SR used poblanos which I couldn't find at Food Lion ), Sour Cream and Cheese... You use a Spring Form pan, so I wasn't about to ask my wife for permission to use that on the grill. So I placed it in the oven this time....still counts though since I smoke-roasted the chicken.
This recipe was absolutely delicious!!! The Salsa Verde was incredible, and the added smokiness of the Chicken put it over the top!
Pretty healthy too.... We ate the portion that serves 4 people, but we also only used 9 tortillas instead of 12, so I imagine we saved quite a few calories doing that. This was one delicious recipe. I highly recommend this book for those of you who wish to shed a few pounds without sacrificing on flavor.

Plenty of movie stars have offices. But Jessica Alba might be the only one who works from a fuchsia desk...in the middle of an open-plan work space. "I have my hands in everything," she says, of her role as founder of The Honest Company. "From product to design to marketing, even some tech. Being confined to an office and expecting my team to constantly check in just doesn't work for me as well."

Yet Another Galactic Transmission about the Way Things Are
Have we gotten your attention yet? It's not so easy, you know. You are busy with a lot of other information at the moment. If you would, take your attention away from the messages of impending doom, catastrophic change, and world intertribal tensions and listen, just for a really short time. There is something we'd like to share, and it's the best thing we can do right now, to put this information in your ears and eyes, and let you let us share. We are just a simple band of intergalactic brothers and sisters, but that's the path many of you wish to take, so we thought we'd tell you a little bit about our understanding of what's happening on the planet before the story comes out on the news. It is heading in that direction, but it's always good to have an inside scoop if you can get one.
Your leaders are cooking up a really juicy plot to take you into the outside world with big fat bellies full of nonsense. You are for the most part aware of this, but things are getting more and more interstellar in scope, if you know what we mean. You have been clamoring for something to be revealed, but the truth is something that cannot be hidden forever and sooner or later reveals itself. The time for its unveiling is getting closer, if the time can be measured for such a reality to be born. It can't really, but the attempt to pinpoint it is a noble one, and doesn't have any really dire consequences, apart from personal disappointments for those who count on them to be the truth that they're looking for. In actuality, the time for disclosure, the time of ascension, all that cannot be targeted without your participation in the whole activity. Ironically, there is little that the individual has to do, other than to take care of what's coming into view for them. Worrying about the bigger picture is well and good, but the real change will happen when the nit-picky little details of individual perfection are dealt with in a soul-satisfying way. In a nutshell, that means taking a seriously honest look at the person who you are in the world, and comparing it to the person who you want to believe you are in the best of all possible worlds. The truth follows such noble deeds, when it can't move forward during the heat of a controversy with unresolved origins. Get over the things that the news says you should be concerned about, acknowledge, and work on what you can do in relation to the activity of creating a perfect world and directing the flow of your presence toward its birth. It is enough, and the bigger issues of the day, whatever they become tomorrow, will sort themselves out. Hear the voice within and don't get distracted by the noise of the next big adventure in the works. Your heart is in the know of what the truth has to show you, and it beams information to you constantly. Bring your attention to it and trust the truth to reveal itself through the internal conduit that feeds the soul of humanity everywhere. It is a survival means for the now.
It isn't our intention to tell you what to do. It's up to you to find the high modulation that's there for your individual ascendance, and come together in conscious streams of finding a strength as one people. It is our intention, rather, to be present, to share perspective with those of you who are entrained to our vibration of frequency through these communications and inner awareness, and to be of service when and where we best are able. Beyond this, spiritual endeavor cannot be taken up by another on the path of another, unless there is agreement and a need. You are powerful and no one needs to order you into any other understanding than that you are, indeed, able to pull this off, to change your world, to become great big powerful high-vibrating beings of new standing on your own terms. We are here to be beside you as family, as friends, and as supporters for the birth of the new reality you are shaping. We are your fans, and we love you beyond words. Be brave, dear souls, and know we breathe blessings to the whole planet.

Epidural anesthesia involves putting a sterile guide needle and a small
tube (epidural catheter) into the space between the spinal cord and outer
membrane of the spinal cord (epidural space). The epidural catheter is placed
at or below the waist.
The guide needle is inserted and removed,
while the catheter remains in place. The catheter is taped in place up the
center of your back and at the top of your shoulder.
An anesthetic
medicine is injected into the catheter to numb your body below the insertion
site. The amount of discomfort or pain that you have depends on the amount of
anesthetic used. Less anesthetic (often called a light epidural) will allow you
to be more active in your labor and feel enough to push effectively. With
higher levels of anesthetic, you will feel little or no pain from your
contractions. You may be required to remain in bed when an epidural is

Last Modified: Sunday, February 2, 2014 at 12:20 a.m.
The No. 2 Florida men's swimming and diving team completed a perfect dual meet season for the third consecutive year with a 179-121 win over No. 18 Tennessee on Senior Day for the Volunteers.
The eighth-ranked Florida women (5-3, 3-2 SEC) dropped a nail biter to No. 12 Tennessee (8-1, 4-1 SEC).
The UF men's team (8-0, 5-0 SEC) dominated the meet with wins in 10 of the 16 events. The Gators were led by senior Brad deBorde, who swept the sprint events and led off the first-place 400 freestyle relay.
Women's tennis
Senior Alexandra Cercone became the 26th UF player to win 100 career singles matches as she also provided Florida's clinching dual match victory in a 7-0 decision against No. 19 Baylor at the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center on Saturday.
The second-ranked Gators took control from the start of the doubles matches, winning on courts one and two to secure a quick 1-0 lead before sweeping the match.
Men's tennis

The Gators will face the host Trojans today at 4 p.m..
Florida (3-1) fell behind UCLA (4-0) in doubles early and also struggled in singles play as Spencer Newman, UF's No. 1, had to retire due to an injury midway through the first set.

I've done this before with pork chops but this time I used a couple of nice pork steaks that I found in the freezer.
After salting the steaks I put some mustard sauce on each side and put them into the fridge overnight.
I seared each side and then moved them to indirect heat to finish, and since they weren't exceptionally thick they didn't take all that long to cook.
Just right! Pork steaks can sometimes be pretty fatty (which makes them all that much better, IMO) and I've found that a more tart/vinegary sauce does a better balancing act than a sweet tomato sauce. My apologies for the scratch on the right side.

Where in this Clean Email preg_match is it saying no empty value?
// Clean Email
if (!preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i",$email)) {
header( "Location: $errorurl" );
exit ;
I already use this statement to clean empty values so I would like to remove it from the above statement. Do you know how?
// Clean All
if (empty($name) || empty($email) ||empty($comments)) {
header( "Location: $errorurl" );
exit ;
Let's break apart your regex
^ means, what follows should be at the beginning of the string provided[A-Z0-9._%-]+ means to find 1 or more occurrences of letters, numbers, ., _, %, or -@ means to find the @ symbol after you find one or more of the occurrences of the line above.[A-Z0-9.-]+ means to find 1 or more occurrences of letters, numbers, ., or - following the @ symbol\. means to find a . after the line above[A-Z]{2,4}$ lastly, find 2 to 4 characters that are after the . and are at the end of the string
So you can deduce by the above explanation, that you won't get a match for "" because it fails to find 1 or more characters at the beginning of a string that are letters, numbers, ., _, %, or -. Plus it fails to have the @ in after find those said beginning letters and it fails to have the required . before the suffix of the domain (which also must exist as the end of the string)
Uhmmm... Ok... So how should it be rewritten to say if empty ignore all - and if value entered clean as usual?
// Clean Email
if (!empty($email) && !preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i",$email)) { // verify the email is not empty, check if it passes the regex
header( "Location: $errorurl" );
exit ;
If I'm reading this wrong please tell me, but I need it to do NOTHING if empty and then CLEAN as usual if a value is entered?
The code states, only if there is a value in $email, run it against the preg_match expression, otherwise, continue on with the script execution.
Ahhh ok I'm good to go then! Thank you very much for your help.

I will endeavor to make this short, quick and painless as possible. I am a Traditionalist Roman Catholic. Always have been. Two years ago, I started reading several authors on the subject of the "true church", each asserting that their brand was correct, and that the others wer the opposite. This, of course, piqued my interest. I researched church history starting with Christ himself, and the hierarchal order that was established following his ascension. Of course, solo scriptura is not my aim, as I realize that the traditions of the fathers played an important role in shaping our faith, and that without them, we cannot begin to understand the scripture. Long story short, as I researched the different branches, and their claims, as well as basic church history, I began to notice that my own personal views and beliefs aligned so much closer with that of the Orthodox faith than that of my own. I got in trouble often as a child for arguing with my priest over the very topics that I see highlighted in the differences between the Orthodox and Catholic churches. As this is the case, I have delved deeply into orthodox theology, beliefs, traditions and writings to get a better understanding, and to see if this is the way that I feel that I am being led. I believe, without any doubts, that I was led to read about all of the different "Brands" of Christianity, to lead me to this point. So my question is, simply put, how do I start? There are two Orthodox churches within 45 minutes, and I have visited them both. Having witnessed the tradition and liturgy first hand, I want more! Where do I go from here?
But it had not been in Tess's power - nor is it in anybody's power - to feel the whole truth of golden opinions while it is possible to profit by them. She - and how many more - might have ironically said to God with Saint Augustine, "Thou hast counselled a better course than thou hast permitted."
I have slipped into St. George Orthodox Cathedral in Wichita several times and had one good talk with Father James. I have read close to twenty books thus far, and I am pretty much convinced. The truth shines like a light!!!

Riders board a Route 2 bus in the late morning at a popular bus stop at Queen Anne Avenue North and West Mercer Street. Photo by Meg Franklin
On Sept. 21, the King County Department of Transportation released a statement detailing more than 40 bus routes to and from areas in the North Seattle region that would face changes starting Sept. 29.
The changes, spawned by budget cuts, were aimed at eliminating low-ridership routes, moving some buses to serve more people, and launching new bus service. Routes 15, 17, 18, 45, 46 and 81 were discontinued, and more than a dozen other routes faced significant scheduling changes as a result of these cuts.
In a press release, Metro Transit general manager Kevin Desmond explained, "Together, these changes will make Metro's transit service work better and serve more customers. In the North End, they'll especially enjoy the new RapidRide D Line (serving Crown to downtown via Interbay and Seattle Center) and new routes with more frequent and convenient service."
Notable changes
Among several changes in Queen Anne (listed below), some routes were deleted (Route 45 Express, Route 17 Local), while others were combined and extended. One notable extension was Route 2 Express, a popular transit route, which was expanded to Ballard and renamed Route 29, according to Jeff Switzer, public affairs coordinator for the King County Department of Transportation.
While most public response has focused on routes that were cut or eliminated, some routes have actually added service times during peak periods, such as the Route 1, which was improved to run every 15 minutes, according to Switzer.
New Route 62 was implemented, which provides "reverse peak" (northbound during the mornings; southbound in the afternoons) service between Downtown Seattle and Ballard via Nickerson Street and Seattle Pacific University.
Route 17 local was deleted, with Routes 29, 31, 32 and 62 providing replacement service along West Nickerson Street.
Service levels on Route 1 were improved to every 15 minutes during peak periods, but reduced to every 30 minutes during off-peak periods.
Route 3/4 service to the Raye Street loop on North Queen Anne was eliminated early Saturday morning, late Saturday evening and all day on Sunday.
Routes 15 and 18 (local/non-express variants) were converted to RapidRide D Line, and additional northbound morning trips were added on Oct. 8 on the D Line to address crowding issues.
Route 45 Express (Uptown/Seattle Center to University District via upper Queen Anne and Wallingford) was deleted due to poor performance.
The new Route 32 (Uptown/Seattle Center to University District via Interbay, Fremont) replaced Route 30 between Uptown/Seattle Center and University District
Extra peak-period trips were added to Route 31, and Routes 31 and 32 were combined to provide frequent service on West Nickerson Street and interlined with Routes 65 and 75 to provide frequent service between 15th Avenue West and West Nickerson Street (Interbay) and University Village.
Switzer explained that the most notable change for Magnolia riders was the discontinuation of Route 24 night service (after 9:30 p.m.), as well as the peak-period trips that were added on Route 31, which provides service from Magnolia to the University District via Wallingford.
Several community members have complained about the route changes, which Metro Transit hopes to address during subsequent revisions and route modifications.
"We continue to hear some complaints about the late-night service reduction on the Route 24," Switzer explained, "and we are working on that issue as we prepare for the next round of transit changes in February."
A matter of timing
In conjunction with several route changes and cutbacks, Metro Transit also implemented a pay-on-entry system while eliminating the Ride Free Area in Downtown Seattle, which has been a staple of Seattle public transportation since it began in 1973, according to the agency's website. The changes were aimed at standardizing the boarding procedure.
However, a primary complaint that many riders vocalized is that buses have become overcrowded, thus, leading to an arduous boarding and de-boarding process.
"There is a lot more people at bus stops now," explained Queen Anne resident Jason Matthews. "[The buses] are overcrowded and less frequent. It has affected a lot of people."
Despite being occasionally inconvenienced or crowded, most riders still have been able to use Metro Transit to commute in Seattle. Steven Washington, who lives in Queen Anne and commutes to Downtown Seattle by bus has noticed a change in his commute since the implementation of new routes.
"My biggest complaint, I would say, is that [the bus times] used to be every five minutes, and now it comes like every 10 minutes," he said. "I take either the [Routes] 13, 2 or 19. Only one bus really goes up to where we live."
The large undertaking has limited many riders in their commute times, but Metro Transit has been working to address the concerns of riders in a timely and efficient way.
"We have focused in recent weeks on concerns about RapidRide C Line (serving West Seattle to downtown) overloads and gaps in service from West Seattle residents," Switzer said.
Other changes possible
So what changes can commuters in Queen Anne and Magnolia expect to see resulting from these concerns?
"It's still too early to see data on ridership trends since the service change," Switzer said. "We hope that the improved network and connections are helping riders get where they need to go and continue to ask riders to let us know when they aren't satisfied with Metro's service."
Riders are encouraged to vocalize specific questions and concerns via community groups or individual inquiries through the Metro Transit's website (metro.kingcounty.gov).
"Depending on the issue, sometimes we can make changes within the tight budgets we're working with," Switzer said.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated December 10th, 2011
ADNAN OKTAR: Surat ar-Rum, verse 42, Almighty Allah decrees.. I seek refuge with Allah from the satan; "Say: 'Travel about the earth.." How do we travel about the earth now? Through internet or through the remote control of the television. We press a button and travel from here to there. That is a form of travelling as well. Or we are researching on the internet and that is a form of travelling as well. "Say: 'Travel about the earth.." That is also included in the travelling mentioned in the provision of this verse. Of course, that is because there you press a button and you go to another country, you click a button and go to another country or another channel, you travel about. ".. and see the final fate of those before." Even an hour before, a week before will do as well, it might as well be a month before, or may be 10 minutes before. ".. and see the final fate of those before. " Allah tells us to see how Allah gave their reward, how He disgraced them, how He humiliated them, how He made them nothing, how He revealed all their indecency, immorality, ignobility, filthiness. [Allah says] "I am showing you these to see My Power, so that you see."
"Most of them were mushrikun." What does mushrikun mean? Those who do not abide by the command of Allah, but by the superstitions. They have their idols, they have ascribed this and that as their idols and they abide by that idol. You tell them to abide by the Qur'an, and they say; "We abide by this idol." They are idolaters. Allah says "see how I gave them their troubles." "So set your face firmly towards the True Religion, before a Day comes from Allah which cannot be turned back." That is the day Allah will act on it, ".. before a Day comes from Allah which cannot be turned back, set your face firmly towards the True Religion." What is the True Religion? Islam. What is Islam? The Qur'an. Allah says; " On that Day they will be split up."
They will be split up; idolaters, hypocrites, unbeliever men and women, hypocrite men and women, Muslim men and women will all be split up.
"Those who were disbelievers will find that their disbelief was against themselves." They get themselves into trouble, they collapse spiritually, they collapse materially. They collapse as the country, economic crisis occurs, they are disgraced. "Those who did right.." those who act sincerely, ".. were making the way easy for themselves" Almighty Allah says that they are making their way, they are making their places in the Heaven. All the beautiful manners they adopt, all the good deeds they do, all the deeds they gain, are being prepared for them as a blessing in the Heaven, says Allah. For instance beds in the Heaven are being prepared as they do good deeds. As they do good deeds, their couches are being prepared, the women of Paradise are being prepared, the food of the Heaven is being prepared. They constantly are preparing their place says Almighty Allah. The preparation in the Heaven will continue as they do good deeds He says. Almighty Allah says "I will prepare the Heaven for them".
".. so that He(Allah) can repay with His bounty those who had faith and did right actions." It is to repay those who do sincere deeds, says Allah. "He certainly does not love the disbelievers," says Allah. What does He do when He doesn't love? He crushes their heads. Does Allah love the hypocrites? Almighty Allah hates them, and He crushes their heads as well, insha'Allah. The hatred of Almighty Allah is of course not like that of ours, insha'Allah.
"Before you We sent other Messengers to their people.. " meaning I have sent Mahdis, guides, prophets, ".. and they too brought them the Clear Signs." Clean signs meaning they clearly and openly bring the explanations of our Prophet (saas), the clarifications of the explanations of the Qur'an. They prove them and explain them. "We took revenge on those who did evil." Now the commands are explained and even though these are all explained they disgracefully deny, they ignobly resist. And Allah says that He took revenge because they resisted even after being informed. That is because they acted disgracefully. "We took revenge on those who did evil; and it is Our duty to help the believers. " Believers; meaning Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students. Those who abide by Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) for instance the Turkish Nation, the Islamic World, insha'Allah.
I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. Almighty Allah says in the 51st verse; "But if We send a wind, and they see it turning yellow, still they persist after that in being disbeliever." They see it turning yellow, for instance instead of thanking Allah, instead of being thankful, they are acting unthankfully, they are acting disgracefully. For instance Allah gives them blessings, Allah creates the portents of the End Times, Allah creates miracles, He creates wonders, but the man denies to see them, acts unthankfully. "You will not make dead men hear." Allah says that these men are dead. Their heads are dead, their brains are dead, their souls are dead. The man has the mind of an idolater, of a hypocrite. He is insane, meaning he is crazy, he has lost his mind. We call this dead. Allah calls them dead. ".. you will not make deaf men hear the call, when they turn their backs in flight." Explain as much as you like to the idolater, the idolater would still go after that filthy smell of the idolater. Just like a pig, he follows the idolater. You know the leaders in the pig herds and the other never leave their lead, right? That one eats filth, so this one eats as well in the pig herds, right? The pigs have their babies. The animal goes and eats filth, and they go and eat the same filth with them. Even if you explain they wouldn't understand that it is filth. You say that you are in filth, but that one is used to it. He raises his nose and his face is all covered with filth and still goes on doing the same filth. You tell them not to ascribe partners to Allah, and this one is in that idolater's system. You tell him not to be a hypocrite and he still is after hypocrisy. "You will not guide blind men from their misguidance." What does misguidance mean? They are misguided in their idolater mind, they are misguided, "You will not guide blind men from their misguidance." Explain as much as you like, they will not be guided to the right path says Allah. Allah does not let them. "You will not make anyone hear except for those who have faith in Our Signs .." That means the students of the Qur'an, those who abide by the Qur'an.. You can make those who have respect for the Qur'an, hear says Allah. ".. and so are the Muslims." Allah calls only those who abide by the Qur'an and says "so [they] are the Muslims," if they abide by the Qur'an. If they do not abide by the Qur'an Allah says that then they wouldn't be Muslims.

Baskent TV, 13 February 2009
Adnan Oktar: Our Prophet was an Arab. Arabs are our dearest friends, sons of Ishmael. They are the descent of the Prophet Ishmael (as). They are a sacred lineage. We can't think the other way. Arabs do have an admiration for the Turks. All Arab countries now know that Turkey is the leader. This is destiny. There are hadiths of our Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) entrusted the whole Muslim community to the Turks. There are many hadiths. Our Prophet (saas) says that there will be red flags at first and these are Turkish flags. He says that they will unite with the green flags. The flags of Islam community, and we will establish the Turkish-Islamic Union with the red and green flags insha'Allah. Our Prophet (saas) says, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will unite the scattered Turkish flags. Look it is very clear, it says in the hadith that he will unite the scattered Turkish states and establish this union. I'm broadly telling the meaning of the hadith. This is an inevitable destiny. Arabs, Iranians, Pakistanis, Egyptians, no matter who, Armenians, Georgia, Lithuanian, they are all in the Turkish-Islamic Union, our dearest, our soul, our brothers. We will embrace all of them with affection, guarantee their life and property, we will make all of them rich, bring them peace both materially and spiritually. This is destiny… The Turkish-Islamic Union will bring light and prosperity to the whole world. These are the things that will be seen, not much, within the following days and years. For example, I mentioned the Turkish-Islamic Union, and there were headlines in both foreign and local newspapers like "A new Ottoman? The Turkish-Islamic Union is coming." I have been holding this subject on agenda for only two months, and it is everywhere now. Now go to Palestine and ask which country should be leader, any individual could go and ask. There is only one answer: Turkey.
There is the experience of centuries and the last couple of years and this is also information given in the hadiths, so the entire Muslim world knows that Turks will establish the Turkish-Islamic Union. This is definite in the hadiths. For example, the whole Muslim world knows that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will emerge from Istanbul. They all know that the Turks will become leader. This is the result of knowledge and training and Allah inspires this into their souls. This is the most important of all, this is what really matters.
Haber 7, June-7-2010
President Bashir al-Assad: the Turkish blood and Arab blood are the same
In the press conference organized after the Asian Security Summit, President Bashir al-Assad stated these:
"Our feelings for the Turkish martyrs are the same as our feelings towards losing a Syrian, Palestinian or any Arab citizen." …. "We, in Syria, are not supporters of speeches or statements…" He added that Syria is ready to go on with no hesitation for any measures taken by Turkey's leadership… "My Brother Prime Minister Erdogan has said in one of his speeches recently that Jerusalem is the same as Istanbul and what happens in the Palestinian territories happens on Turkish lands, and I say to him that the Arab blood and the Turkish blood are the same. … This is well known, so we are talking about one blood throughout history"...

If you're someone who wrestles with the ultimate dessert decision at McDonald's—Oreo or M&M McFlurry?—I have the answer for you: Pralines & Cream. The newest flavor (a limited-time, seasonal offering) features candied pecan pieces and hot caramel topping blended with vanilla soft serve. It's available in two sizes: snack ($1.99) and regular ($2.79).
Blending the warm caramel topping with the soft serve gives the McFlurry a different, and all-together delicious, texture. The topping doesn't stay warm once it's mixed in, but it does affect the surrounding soft serve, making most of the ice cream a few noticeable degrees more melty.
The sweet caramel combined with the pecan pralines (which have a similar flavor profile: sweet and buttery) may seem like an overkill, but it absolutely works. In fact, it works so well that I'm deeming this the next-level caramel sundae. Two of the three ingredients are the same (soft serve and warm caramel topping), but by blending it up and adding those small bits of crunchy, candy-coated pecan pieces (instead of the standard-issue peanuts, which I've always found strangely waxy), McDonald's has created an outstanding new McFlurry flavor. You should try it.

He is the last person they should have at the pier of all places. The only place with a quicker rip is the jetty, but luckily that is a surfing area, the pier isn't. Also, what is with the flippers? They never used to use those.
Only thing missing was him reading his lifeguarding 101 manual:
1) Grab torp and flippers
2) Run to water's edge
3) Put flippers on.
You get the gist.
That guy was gassed by the time he got a mouthful of the sandbar.
Putting flippers on? Forward jump/walking in flippers? Man alive. That was pure awful.
I bet he plays a mean defensive middie though. Must look pretty good showing the tan guns off in a lax penny when he hits the keg party after work.
LOL..That dude would DIE here in So Cal. So would all the kooks in the water needing to be rescued!
Can I get my tax money back.....
Hey at least he didn't run anyone over in his truck to get there.... oh wait that was Sandbridge.
Not in much of a hurry. Pretty red and yellow swim fins, for all the good they did him.

HOUSTON - Our Summer of Safety campaign is designed to help keep you and your family safe this summer.
While you may not be at work following the July 4th holiday, many of you may have yard work on your to-do list. We found some key information when it comes to keeping your children safe while they help out.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommendations about lawn mower safety. The group said children younger than 16 should not be allowed to use riding lawn mowers. The group said children younger than 12 should not use push mowers.
If you have hills or slopes on your property, the Academy advised you mow them up and down, not across. That will help keep your mower from rolling over.
Finally, anyone outside while yard work is being done should wear protective goggles.
