Beverly AndersonGraduated 1981Assistant US Attorney, District of Arizona; Tucson, AZ Beverly (Bev) Anderson is a member of a multi-generation Arizona family. Born, raised and educated in Arizona, she has committed her career to the service of the people and institutions of the state. She graduated from Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix in 1977, entering NAU in the fall of the same year. She had an extended major in Police Science Administration, with emphasis in Accountancy. In her senior year, Bev was selected to serve with ASNAU, the student governing body, and was also a member of Mortar Board, an academic service honorary.
She was ultimately awarded the Gold Axe for outstanding academics, leadership, and service to the university. While attending the University of Arizona Law School, Bev worked as a law clerk in the Criminal Division of the Pima County Attorney's Office, and also as a Legal Intern in the Tucson City Attorney's office, doing research in municipal law. She received her Juris Doctorate in May 1985 and was admitted to the Arizona Bar the following year. Her initial assignment as a litigator was with Pima County Criminal division, prosecuting felony offenses.
She also specialized in the prosecution of all vehicular homicides. Bev was named Pima County Prosecutor of the year, 1989-1990. In 1991, she was assigned to the Civil Division, representing several Pima County departments in civil lawsuits including tort, personal injury and civil rights litigation. In 1997, Bev joined the Arizona Attorney General's Office, Liability Management Section, defending the State of Arizona in wrongful death/personal injury lawsuits. Arizona Attorney General, Janet Napolitano, named her the 2000 Litigator of the year.Since 2002, Bev has served as Assistant United States Attorney, United States Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona.

She also sits on the Joint Terrorism Task Force in southern Arizona, coordinating all of the investigations and litigations associated with terrorism that occur from Tucson to the Arizona/Mexico border.
As initially mentioned, Beverly's family has multi-generational ARIZONA roots. He grandfather, Rollin Gridley, was a well known teacher and coach in Tucson. Gridley Middle School in Tucson is named for him. Her father played football at the University of Arizona.
Her nomination for the Dr. Cliff Harkins Distinguished Citizen of the Year award is supported by the plethora of her admirable, unselfish "distinguished service to governmental assignments at the municipal, county, state or federal level." She has served in valued leadership roles at all four governmental entities, city, county, state and national, during her illustrious career. Bev exemplifies and models what a truly outstanding public servant and citizen can be and how one person can make a significant impact upon her community and state.
"Mr. Harkins was a long time educator who devoted his career to public service and I'm honored to receive the award named after him," Bev said. "Being a government lawyer and serving the community in this capacity is both an honor and a tremendous responsibility. To be placed in such a position of trust and responsibility is a privilege I don't take lightly."

A MAN with a bent penis who raped a woman as she lay asleep on a sofa after a drunken night out has been jailed for eight years.
The 23-year-old woman had woken to find naked stranger Paul Lee straddling her in her friend's Gloucester flat.
When she fell asleep she had been fully clothed - but when she woke she found she had nothing on except her knickers, which were inside out and back to front, Gloucester Crown Court was told.
The woman noticed that her nose was bleeding and that she had injuries including bruising to her legs and buttocks.
Lee, 32, of Millers Dyke, Quedgeley, who suffers from the 'bent penis syndrome' Peyronie's disease, denied the woman's allegations categorically and told the jury he had not touched her sexually - and he had not taken her clothes off.
He said he had gone to sleep in an armchair in the same room as the woman and at one stage woke in the night to find she had her hands down his trousers.
He claimed he told her to get off because he was feeling too drunk and sick for sex and that was all that had happened between them.
But on Tuesday, May 13, after a three day trial a jury of six men and six women convicted him of raping the woman on November 18, 2012.
Judge Jamie Tabor QC told Lee he had been 'convicted on the clearest possible evidence of sexually interfering with this highly vulnerable young woman.'
The judge added: "You couldn't resist the temptation for whatever reason to have your way with her. "
He said a victim impact statement from the woman, describing how the offence has affected her, underlined the prolonged psychological damage rape can cause.
In her statement the woman described how she lived with the fear that she might have contracted HIV, Hepatitis B or some other sexually transmitted disease from Lee.
She had to undergo medical tests and did not get the all clear until early last year, she stated.
"This process was horrible, it made me feel sick and dirty. Not knowing if I had caught something was frightening," she added.
"My life has been affected in so many ways.
"The offence has made me very nervous of public places and I am not confident going to the gym. Before the attack I was almost over-confident but now I check everyone in detail and make sure I know a way out of the room in any situation.
"I ended up leaving my job because it was too difficult to face and I felt vulnerable in an all male environment.
"I was not a negative person but now I always imagine the worse and see unknown males as possible attackers."
She also stated that because she did not know Lee before the attack she has felt nervous in public because he might be around.
During the trial the jury heard the woman had been out clubbing with friends in Gloucester and they all returned to her friend's home in the early hours of the morning.
Lee, who had not known any of the group, had tagged along with them and fell asleep in the living room of the flat.
When the others could not rouse him he was left sleeping in an armchair while the woman slept on the sofa fully clothed.
But after the female flat owner had gone to bed Lee stripped off and then took the woman's clothes off and subjected her to some degree of violence before having sex with her as she slept.
When she woke to find him straddling her she went into her friend's bedroom to tell her what had happened. Lee was ordered to leave and when later arrested he refused to answer any questions or allow intimate swabs to be taken.
In evidence, Lee denied any sexual approach to the woman and said he remained fully clothed all night.
He said he never had one night stands with women because he suffers from Peyronie's disease which has caused his penis to be bent.
It bends to the left and is embarassing to show to women until after he has got into a loving relationship with them, he said,
The jury was shown a photograph of his penis.

A NEW health report says more than one in ten people in Swindon suffer from depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now a charity is calling for better working between mental health services after the report, for Swindon Council's Health and Wellbeing Board, revealed between 25,203 and 29,422 of the town's 209,156 residents suffer from disorders including anxiety, depression, phobias and panic attacks.
Another 1,500 to 1,600 are estimated to be living with a severe and enduring mental health condition. Numbers are expected to rise as the population heads to 225,300 by 2016.
The report, for a meeting next Wednesday, says Swindon has the third highest number of prescriptions for anti-depressants in the South West.
The figure is linked to factors including unemployment, benefit cuts, family circumstances, debt, caring responsibilities and domestic violence.
The chairman of mental health charity SUNS, Ann Mooney, urged the council and mental health service to work more closely with other agencies and schools to ensure care and attention was given to the most vulnerable people, especially carers.
"The services need to work together if things are going to change and improve," said Ann, who suffers from mental health problems.
"There is no support for carers who don't attend the carers centre.
"When young people look after a loved one from a very young age, they don't get away without being scared and that can make them feel depressed."
She said very few people perceived anxiety or depression as a mental health issue.
However, the high number anti-depressants prescriptions did not alarm her as medication was beneficial in some cases.
"Some of our users feel that they are sometimes given medication as a quick fix," she said. "But there are also some people, like me, who need to be on medication. If I stopped taking it I would be very ill.
"It's about whether or not it is the right thing for the person and I think what doctors don't always do is sit down with them and a loved one and explain side effects, so they can make a choice. Talking therapies should also be offered."
Swindon Council's senior public health manager, Frances Mayes, said measures had and would be put in place to maximise prevention and ensure residents got the medical and emotional support they needed.
She said: "We are working on creating an advice, advocacy and information hub to have all the agencies working together with the voluntary sector and some statutory services in the same place, to make sure that when people need advice it's easy to access."
A priority would be raising awareness of mental health and encouraging people with depression or carers to come forward for support.

CONOVER, NC – Saint Leo University men's golfer Nick Brothers turned in a first round scorecard 1-over-73 as he currently sits in 29th place on the opening day of the NCAA Division II South/Southeast Regional at the 7,064 yard, par-72 Jones Course in the Rock Barn Golf & Spa on Monday afternoon.
Competing as one of eight individuals, Brothers is locked in a 12-golfer tie for 29th, but more importantly he currently ranks fourth amongst competing individuals.
Starting on #10 with an early-afternoon tee-time, the Saint Leo junior bogeyed #11 and #13 but made the turn at even-par after birdies at #12 and #16.
Splitting another bogey (#3) and birdie (#6), the most deciding hole was a double bogey that Brothers posted on the 507 yd. #7, the second longest hole on the course. He earned a much-needed birdie to close out his round on #9, finishing the day at +1.
He trails West Georgia's Bryn Powers (1-under-71) by two strokes in the battle of individual competitors. Belmont Abbey's Adam Hedges (even) and Flagler's Greg Mergel (even) also sit in potential advancing positions.
Paired with his same grouping of Hedges and Eric Kennedy (Lincoln Memorial) the trio will start the second round as the last of the morning group from Hole #1. Tee time is scheduled for 8:20 a.m.

Padres rout Cubs with season-high 13 runs
Offense also picks up season-high 17 hits, including three homers
CHICAGO -- There was the rookie second baseman with two hits and two RBIs. The catcher, who hits in the No. 8 spot and was 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position entering the game, went 3-for-5 and hit a tape-measure home run. The sluggers in the heart of the order did their part, and a rookie reliever got to make his Major League debut.
The Padres got a little bit of everything on Tuesday night in a 13-7 rout against the Cubs at Wrigley Field that featured more than a handful of high-water marks.
"We get a combination of power and two-out hits all the way up and down the lineup," said catcher Nick Hundley, who hit a three-run homer beyond the left-center-field seats to cap the scoring at 13. "Everybody got involved, so everybody's driving in runs. It's contagious."
It was the fourth time the Padres scored at least eight runs this season, but the first time they eclipsed nine. Each of those games have been wins, and San Diego improved to 7-2 when scoring more than five runs in a game. The Padres' 17 hits were also a season high.
"Tough night to pitch," manager Bud Black said. "Wind blowing out. Conditions favorable for the offense."
Left fielder Carlos Quentin went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a home run, and second baseman Jedd Gyorko and third baseman Chase Headley each chipped in two hits. By the time Chris Denorfia singled in the seventh, every Padres starter had at least one hit.
The Padres scored in four of the first six innings, jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the second when Yonder Alonso and Mark Kotsay both singled and scored on a Gyorko double. Everth Cabrera walked and scored in the third before a fifth-inning rally that featured 10 batters come to the plate.
The Padres, as a team, hit for the cycle -- Cabrera tripled, Headley and Quentin both doubled and Alonso hit a two-run homer -- before starting pitcher Edinson Volquez drove in the eighth run of the game with a single to center, plating Kotsay. That was the end for Cubs starter Edwin Jackson, who lasted just 4 2/3 innings. He gave up 11 hits and fell to 0-4.
"This may be one of the worst starts I've had in my career," Jackson said. "It's a test of character. Clearly, it hasn't been what I wanted to do. It's a long season. I'll definitely continue to work and get back to where I need to be to finish the season strong."
That fifth-inning sequence would prove vital for Volquez, given the way his night spiraled in the following half-inning. Once he was spotted that 8-0 advantage, he surrendered four extra-base hits in the bottom of the fifth, as a pair of two-run homers from Luis Valbuena and Starlin Castro sliced the lead to 8-4.
"I lost a little bit, I was off a little bit. Everything was good. I just lost it," Volquez said of the wall he hit in the fifth. "But it's not a big deal. I can come back tomorrow and try to fix it and do what I was doing before."
Volquez did extend a streak of consecutive innings without a walk to 13 until the sixth inning, when he walked three batters in that frame alone. It was an 11-pitch walk drawn by Darwin Barney that brought Black out to get Volquez.
Dale Thayer came in to end the threat, and he held the Cubs in check as the three-run Hundley home run in the eighth made it 13-5.
"That was one of the better balls I've hit in my career," Hundley said. "For sure."
Rookie left-hander Robbie Erlin made his big league debut, surrendering three hits -- including a Cody Ransom homer -- in a two-run ninth.
Volquez is now 5-0 with a 2.76 ERA in seven career starts against the Cubs, including a 3-0 mark with a 3.63 ERA in four starts at Wrigley Field -- wind blowing out and all.
"Eddy held the fort," Black said. "We gave him some runs. He never gave back the lead. He outpitched their starter, so good job."

I'm a pretty new to linux, but I'm trying my best. I was using the BT4 Beta Live CD to start learning and using the OS, and every time I logged in I got an error, "No screens found" after typing "startx." I read somewhere to type "fixvesa" and then "startx" and that seemed to work and allow me to boot fine.
I just "installed" BT4 onto a free partition, and on boot after logging in and typing "startx" I get the same/similar error:
Code:(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Sep 27 17:07:49 2009 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf" (EE) NV(0): Failed to determine the amount of available video memory (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xint: No such process (errno 3): Server error
Of course I've tried doing the regular, "fixvesa" that normally worked on the live cd boot, but I get this error:
Anyway, now I'm confused as to how to boot. As far as I can tell it has something to do with the video drivers? Can somebody please refer me to reading material that will assist me with this problem?Code:[*] Copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa to /etc/X11/xorg.conf cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf': Permission denied
Thank you for your help.
I assume what you're asking is if I am using the default username and password?
When I was installing BT4 with the LiveCD installer, it asked me what I want to log in with. I made a username and password at that time.
root/toor does not work to login anymore, however I am able to login with the username and password I was requested to make on install.
Is that bad? Should I have just kept it root? Or are you referring to something completely different?
Thank you for your time.

Tying the KnotProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
There are 6 strings clustered together. One end of each string is at point B (the top), and the other at point A (the bottom). First, two of the ends at point A (randomly) are tied together. Then the two more are tied together, and then the last two. Next, two ends at point B are tied together. Then the two more are tied together, and then the last two.
What is the possibility that all the strings will be tied together in one large loop?
Note: Simplify the answer.
HintThere are three possible combinations of loop sizes that the strings can form.
AnswerThe possibility that the strings will form one large loop is 8 in 15 times, or 8/15.
You determined the probability of each situation by finding out the probability of many events. You only had to deal with the bottom knots, because if you left out the top knots, you will just be simplifying the problem a little bit. Then you figure out all the possibilities for the first knot (of the bottom) that could be tied. Then, using those, you found out the three possibilities for each basic diagram, having only the first knot. That gives you 45 possible knot combinations, which is every combination for the bottom half. Then you simply count out the different groups (1 loop, 2 loops or 3 loops) and simplified it. There are 24/45 for 1 loop, 18/45 for 2 loops, and 3/45 for 3 loops. Simplified that is:
**1 Loop: 8/15**
2 Loops: 6/15
3 Loops: 1/15

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/11/2012 (1743 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
'WITHIN you, the answers are," is how Yoda might say it. "Do or do not. There is no try."
And for those of us who do not have a wise and compassionate Jedi master to guide us down the road to self-discovery and self-empowerment with a Zen-infused mix of motivation and tough love, there's another option: life coach.
Martin Itzkow won't take you into a cave to face your dark side, but he will meet you at a coffee shop and ask you some tough questions to get you looking inward and thinking about what it is you want. What you really, really want.
"That's the most important question in this process," says the longtime Winnipeg leadership and change consultant who has worked extensively with the public and private sectors. He started his Defying Gravity organizational life coaching practice about 18 months ago (www.defygrvcoaching.com).
"Once you start that exploration, it becomes about what is your real purpose, what gives you life in terms of your work and outside of work, and what are the baby steps you can take to make the change," says Itzkow.
His job, he says, is to help people tap the inner resources and tools they've accumulated through life experience and develop a strategy for moving toward their goals.
People have long sought motivational guidance from professionals, so life coaching is hardly a new phenomenon. In a New York Times article earlier this year, Janet Harvey, president of the International Coach Federation (ICF), traced its development to the Human Potential Movement of the 1970s, which formed around the concept that people have an inner reservoir of extraordinary but largely untapped capabilities.
What is rather phenomenal is just how popular and diversified coaching has become. It's reportedly the second-fastest growing profession in the world, rivalled only by information technology.
Do a Google search for life coach and you'll get nearly 10 million hits. According to the ICF, the world's largest and oldest coaching organization, there are 47,500 professional coaches worldwide, up from 30,000 in 2007. A third of those are in North America, where 89 per cent of coaches in a recent survey said they had an average of 11 active clients each.
The ICF, which is working to standardize accreditation, also reports that its membership grew from around 11,000 in 2006 to more than 19,000 by the end of 2011, in spite of the 2008 global recession.
So either we're having a collective existential crisis or it has become hip to ask for help -- in every niche of your existence, from work and career to weight loss, wellness, dating and finances.
"It's like having a personal trainer for every area of your life," says Joyce Odidison, an ICF certified coach who runs a coach training certification program in Winnipeg. Her institute has trained 25 coaches since 2008. The program, based on her own Interpersonal Wellness System (IWS) model, takes 10 to 12 months to complete.
According to the website, IWS coaching "embraces a wide range of perspectives, such as biology, positive psychology, neuroscience, conflict management, transformational learning, energy psychology, wellness and system thinking."
It's all about helping clients to see the big picture, and then developing and improving their skills so they can become "self-aware, self-correcting and self-directing," says Odidison, who has degrees in conflict resolution and conflict analysis.
She credits the popularity of lifestyle-based reality TV shows in recent years, as well as Oprah's trademark "live your best life" boosterism, for raising coaching's profile.
Former Winnipegger Benita Stafford-Smith, whose services include personal, business and career coaching and image consulting, says the profession has "matured" since she started her coaching practice in 2001. At least in the Western world.
"In the Eastern world, coaching is still fairly new," Stafford-Smith, who now lives in Oman, an Arab state in southwest Asia, writes in an email. "Most people here aren't aware of coaching and how to utilize it in their lives."
All three of the life coaches were unequivocally clear about what coaching is not: therapy.
"Generally, people hire a counsellor because there is something wrong," says Stafford-Smith. "Generally, they hire a coach because they want to improve an area of their life."
Don't hire Itzkow if you're hoping to dig around in your past for clues as to how your life got stalled or derailed. Although he uses a coaching model based on the principles of Milton Erickson -- an American psychiatrist, psychologist and hypnotist who believed that the unconscious mind was creative and could generate its own solutions to problems -- Itzkow is all about the future.
"I'm not into the healing game," he says. "If someone wants help with the past, I can't do it. What I will do is I'll say, 'OK, you had that past and maybe it wasn't so good but what did you learn and how can you use that to help you move forward?'"
Not that your typical coaching client's life is all smooth, upward sailing. "Most of my work is around people being overwhelmed -- by modern life and modern business," says Itzkow, who's coached 25 clients over the past year. "They're seeking clarity and they're looking to be transformed in some way."
Another key difference between seeing a life coach and a counsellor is the former usually requires a great deal of self-motivation and commitment -- if you want to get your money's worth. The going rate for a certified coach in Winnipeg is between $150 and $350 an hour, according to Odidison, who has colleagues in the U.S. who charge $500 an hour.
Itzkow, who charges $200 an hour, requires a minimum commitment of four months, with at least three one-hour sessions each month. He doesn't have an office and works mostly out of coffee shops. He also does sessions by phone and by Skype.
One of Itzkow's clients, Janine LeGal, credits life coaching for helping her secure a better job, get her finances in shape and achieve a more harmonious work-life balance.
"Some of the questions and the assignments were tough because they required me to look deeply within, and sometimes that was painful," says the communications co-ordinator. "But now everything seems clearer and more aligned as a result. Life coaching is definitely the best gift I've ever given myself."

"My save the date cards came out perfect! I sent in a special request to have the right side have 2 smaller pics instead of just 1 pic on the ride side and the design team did an awesome job! I was very impressed at the quality. I cannot be more pleased!"
"My fiancé and I love this product. We had to swap out a photo, and the communication with WPD was easy! There were other places that would print our save-the-date postcards at a lower cost, but we were so pleased with the quality of the cards that it was worth the little bit of extra funding!"
"thank you weddng divas for timely and easy save the date and wedding invitations! You made everything simple and effortless!"
"I loved my saved the dates. I did the professional review and they were very prompt and even reviewed it a second time when I changed my mind on the picture. The colors look really good in person ...very crisp. All of my friends and family had nothing but good things to say when they received their save the date in the mail. Definitely recommend."
"The card was everything it looks to be, great quality, and that staff was very helpful with getting back to me about questions and changes I wanted to make. Overall, really great experience!"

FUNDRAISERS are getting ready to run, walk, hop, skip or jump their way through the Mad March Hare event in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer on Sunday.
But as well as the fundraisers, volunteers will be out in force to guide participants on to the next leg of their journey.
Stan and Dawn Pajak have marshalled at the event since its first year in 2008, and will once again be lining the route .
Stan, 59, from Old Town, said: "It's another way you can be a part of the event without having to walk or run around the route, and it's another way to help raise money for Breakthrough.
"This is like a local version of the MoonWalk and we are proud that we have something like it in Swindon."
The annual event was set up after Irene Hare, a member of Swindon Twin Peaks Power Walking group, lost her battle with breast cancer in 2006.
A group of friends and supporters took the opportunity to start an event to inspire others to keep active while raising money for Breakthrough.
Margaret Nicholson, the chairman of the Mad March Hare team, said: "The event is really as much about the volunteers as about the participants, and we're always keen to hear from more people who want to get involved.
"We're very proud of the Mad March Hare; we are all volunteers who work really hard all year round to make the Mad March Hare the successful and fun event it is.
"It is now the seventh year that the event has taken place."
One of the newest members of the volunteering team is Lyn Jacobs, from Freshbrook.
The 62-year-old said: "I am retired now so this was just something I thought I could do to give something back. "I think if you do someone a good turn maybe someone will give you a good turn back."
From 11am hundreds of people will head off from Lydiard Park Academy in either a 5km or 10km event.
All participants will begin the Mad March Hare with a zumba warm-up session with Muevete Fitness.
While participants make their way around the route children will also be able to take part, with a special quiz trail available and a tasty prize for every youngster who finishes.
There may still be time to take part in the Mad March Hare event. For more information or to get involved, call the team on 0845 680 8064, email info@ madmarchhare.org.uk or visit www.madmarchhare.org.uk.

Gas prices hold steady in Florida
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
The average price of a gallon of gasoline remained stable in Florida since last Monday and increased slightly nationwide, according to AAA.
Average price for a gallon of regular gasoline
Monday: $3.349
A week earlier: $3.305
A month earlier: $3.289
Monday: $3.422
A week earlier: $3.419
A month earlier: $3.352
Source: AAA
The auto club reported an average price in Florida of $3.422 for a gallon of regular gasoline, which was about the same as it was a week earlier. Nationwide, the average price increased 4 cents to $3.349.
Oil prices increased last week because of optimism that European and U.S. economies are improving and will have higher demand, according to an analysis by AAA.
"Oil prices are on an upswing right now and gas prices are starting to follow suit," AAA spokeswoman Jessica Brady said in a prepared statement. "Although motorists shouldn't see too much fluctuation in gas prices at the moment, prices are sure to rise in March. So far this year, we have not seen record-breaking pump prices and the cost for a gallon of gas remains below year-ago levels."
In Gainesville recent gas prices ranged from $3.41 to $3.69, according to www.gasbuddy.com.
In Ocala recent gas prices ranged from $3.11 to $3.61, according to www.gasbuddy.com.

Topic: Ca19-9 steadily rising
I haven't written on here in a while so here's he update on my husband. Since December his tumor marker has been on a steady rise. December it was 70 now it's at 339. Not sure what to make of it. His doctor today rechecked it and we have to wait until Monday for results. She's hoping to see a decline if not I guess some tests will have to be done because she's thinking that maybe something is going on then. Other wise he has been doing great. Week on week off with his gemzar and xeloda(which they have him taking 6 morning and night). He's doing amazingly well in tolerating it so far. The oncologist from U of M would like to see 9 morning and night but the doctor here thinks its going to be too much. I'm trying to take things day by day. Sometimes I still find myself in denial with everything then it hits me like a ton of bricks. Just having a hard time excepting this is happening. Well that's it for now.

Martinsville Speedway has not always been one of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s most successful race tracks. In fact in his first race, he hit everything around him including an ambulance.
"Yeah, the ambulance wouldn't move," said Earnhardt about the incident. "I had to give him a bit of the bumper."
Earnhardt recalls that his father was not too pleased with his son's driving style that day making the ride home a little testy.
"I remember I was taking a helicopter ride with my dad and Michael Waltrip," continued NASCAR's most popular driver. "I ran over everything and finally Dad was like, man, tell that kid to park it."
He's come a long way since that first race and now Earnhardt Jr. is considered one of the best when it come to competing on the historic Martinsville track.
"It took me a few trips to really learn to be more patient, to let the race sort of come to me," explained Junior on his improvement. "You don't do all your work in the first 100 laps, and you've sort of got to wait out the competition and let your crew make good choices and good strategy that keeps you in the thick of things and then have an opportunity at the end."
Having patience is hard when there are other drivers fighting for every inch of race track that they can find on each lap. Yet Earnhardt maintains that a cool head is the key to success.
"The racing there is nothing what you imagine," continued Earnhardt. "It's just really tough and hard racing, and you've got to pick your battles. But it's a long race and you can really just take yourself out of it early if you're not careful."
Not only do you have to keep your emotions in check, you also have to constantly seek for ways to keep your race car fast for the entire 500 miles.
"You've got to be flexible and open-minded to where your car wants to be and where it wants to run," Earnhardt said. "When you do find what works, you've got to be able to repeat it over and over without getting too greedy. It is about repetition, finding things that work on entry, through the middle and off the corner that work lap after lap as the track changes."
Earnhardt admits that to him, the racing at Martinsville hasn't changed over the years and the history of the place is one reason that he enjoys coming her so much.
"You park your car in the driveway of the first house on the corner," said Earnhardt on the historic look of the track. "That house has been there for I don't know how many years and your first impressions bring you back to the mid-'70s. The only thing that really reminds you of where you're at and what decade you're in is the model of the cars in the parking lot."
It's been an experience for Earnhardt to get from running into ambulances to winning races at Martinsville. However, now he feels that he has things well under control and knows what it takes to be successful. If he keeps his cool this weekend, there could be another Earnhardt name etched into that Grand Father Clock trophy this weekend.

Former CMU trustee pleads not guilty to laundering drug cartel money
A former Carnegie Mellon University trustee pleaded not guilty on Thursday to conspiring to launder $600 million for a Mexican drug cartel during a federal court hearing in El Paso.
As Marco Antonio Delgado returned to the El Paso County Jail to await a detention hearing that U.S. Magistrate Judge Norbert Garney scheduled for Nov. 14, questions arose about the professional business and political connections he led CMU and others to believe he had.
Delgado's lawyers, Ray Velarde and Jose Montes, did not return calls for comment. He is suspected of laundering $600 million between July 2007 and December 2008. The indictment does not specify which cartel was involved, but an ABC affiliate in El Paso identified it as the Milenio cartel. If convicted, Delgado could get 20 years in prison.
Until recently Delgado, 46, an El Paso lawyer who earned a master's degree at CMU in 1990, was featured on the university's website as a member of the Dean's Advisory Council at the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management. A biography on the website portrayed Delgado as the CEO of a multi-national energy corporation and the chairman of an investment partnership who was a member of the transition team for Mexico's President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto.
Eduardo Sanchez, a spokesman for the transition team, said it had never heard of Delgado and pointed to the group's website, which doesn't list Delgado as a member.
"Clearly this person is not part of the team," Sanchez said.
Sanchez ruled out the possibility that Delgado could have served as an adviser to Pena Nieto or worked on or raised money for his campaign. As to why Delgado provided such information to the university, Sanchez speculated that in general, "Criminals normally say things that are not true."
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review found that neither Delgado's purported investment partnership — The Baalbek Group LP — nor his supposed energy corporation is registered with the Texas Department of State. And the only mention of the energy company on a national database of corporations is an entry with the name Power Solutions of North American LLC that was reserved in October 2004 and expired in January 2005.
CMU spokesman Ken Walters said only that Delgado provided the information in the biography. "I wish it was someone else," he said.
The university named a graduate fellowship for Hispanic students in public policy for Delgado and pledged $250,000 in matching funds to it after Delgado gave CMU $250,000 in 2003.

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
Movember is for everyone! Men and women!
Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men's health.
At the end of Movember, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Parties held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

Topic: my mother, my best friend
As I read so many of your messages I realize that we are not in this alone, although sometimes I feel we are the only family effected with this horrible disease. Here is my story:
My mom is a very healthy, fit, and an active 79 year old woman who has never had any medical problems. My mom's first sign of what we now know is cholangiocarcinoma, was constipation and bloating. She complained about this for a few weeks, I gave her over the counter meds and told her that as we get older our system changes. She was very concerned because she has never had these problems before. After unsuccessful attempts to correct her problem she went to her doctor. She has been going to the same doctor for over 25 years, and it was her doctor who had the foresight to run blood work on mom, she ran a CA125 for ovarian cancer. This came back very high, which began a series of test. Even thought my mom's cancer spread and was not found until it was stage 4, if it were not for her doctor to run this initial blood work she would have been jaundice before we knew anything. To this I owe my mom's life to this doctor.
Within a few weeks my mom diagnoses was confirmed by a series of CT scans, biopsies and PET scans. Her cancer originated in the bile duct, and spread to her liver (klatskin tumor 4.7 cm) left hepatic lobe. There are over 15 other areas that it spread to within her stomach lining. Stage 4 and it is inoperable. She has now gone through 11 chemo treatments, 2 weeks on 1 week off with Gemzar and cisplatin. The first CT scan after a few months showed little shrinkage but some, the second CT scan a few months after the first showed better shrinkage of all cancer cells in her stomach, but not in her liver. We are having problems with her blood levels because the chemo is so strong, she had to get a blood transfusion last month.
She is so amazing and strong. She is handling everything so well and has the most positive attitude. She is holding me and my three sisters together; we are getting our strength from her so that we can be strong for her and support her thru this.
My question is at what point I start going to other hospitals that specialize in this particular cancer, consider alternative medicine, check into clinical studies etc. The doctor she is seeing in the Fort Lauderdale area is great, and right now we are seeing a decrease in her cancer. I am just not sure how much more to do now, I keep hearing the words "quality of life". But I want my mom to live even if her quality of life for the short term is to save her life and to do whatever it takes. I also wonder if anyone has had any good response to certain types of food and nutrition that help keep blood levels high. She is also losing too much weight; she weighed 127lbs now she is down to 114. Any suggestions on weight gain.

Entering the Body Worlds exhibit is not as creepy as you may have feared. In fact, you have to keep reminding yourself that what you're seeing was once a living human being and not a plastic replica.
You see human bodies stripped of clothing, hair and skin. The figures are posed to expose their muscles, nerves and organs.
The exhibit is possible by using a technique called plastination. It was developed by Dr. Gunther von Hagens a German scientist. The process replaces water and fat in the bodies with fluid plastics that harden. This allows the bodies to be fixed in poses and to be seen in three dimensions. Dr. von Hagens, dressed in a black leather vest and his trademark black fedora hat, is in St. Paul for Body Worlds.
Von Hagens says, "on the average one body takes about 1,500 working hours. It takes about one year. One to two years."
He says about 350 workers worldwide help him prepare the donated bodies. He says the exhibit stresses a respect for the human form and has a memorial to the unnamed people who donated their bodies for this medical display.
"And those bodies are posed in lifelike positions. To avoid a ghoulish feeling. To close the gap between death and life. This is the message of Body Worlds," according to von Hagen.
The Body Worlds exhibit was first mounted in Japan in 1995. It was incredibly popular and since then about 20 million people have seen it. It came to North America in 2004 for shows in Los Angeles and Chicago. Science Museum President, Dr. Eric Jolly, saw Body Worlds in Chicago says he's "thrilled" it's in St. Paul.
"This is an astounding exhibit, unlike anything I'd ever seen before. When I first saw this in Chicago I was struck by how inspiring it is for my own health care. How it could bring others to have aspirations to work in health and allied health fields. And how awesome the human body is in its architecture."
There is a pre-natal section of Body Worlds. It's curtained off and visitors can easily pass by if they don't wish to view it. Human fetuses in various stages of development are displayed. A pregnant woman who was killed in an accident is shown; her muscles are visible as is the fetus she was carrying.
Body Worlds includes many glass cases filled with preserved human organs. Visitors can see the clean lungs of a non-smoker and compare them with the blacked lungs of a smoker. They can also view a healthy liver next to the damaged organ of a drinker. Hearts with pacemakers and broken bones with embedded hardware help visitors see the connection between technology and the body.
Mike Day, a Science Museum of Minnesota senior vice president, is expecting about 400,000 people will visit Body Worlds. He's seen it five times in various cities and says he's amazed at people's reactions.
"The view that you have of human bodies in this show is a view that only doctors or medical students have had before. You watch people move through this exhibit and they are very reverent about it. You can tell they are showing a great deal of respect for those who have donated their bodies for this exhibit. I'm not speaking in hyperbole when I say this is a once in a lifetime experience," Day said.
Dr. Gunther von Hagens says he knows Body Worlds is seen by some as controversial. He calls it "anatomy art" and says most people find it uplifting. But he admits some of the media coverage has been critical. Von Hagens says there was also an incident when Body Worlds was on display in 2003 in London.
"In England one person hit a specimen and tumbled it down. One person attacked a plastinate out of 20 million," he said.
Science Museum officials say they've consulted with religious leaders and experts in medical ethics to make sure the exhibit is done with respect.
Dr. Von Hagens says 6,800 people have donated their bodies to his research; including 200 Americans. The bodies on display are anonymous and there is almost no specific information about how they died. Dr. von Hagens calls these people his "partners" and says one day he plans to join them and have his body undergo plastination.

As some of you old timers may remember, I grew up in Kansas City, home of lots of great barbecue!
Since I was smoking four briskets (for no real particular reason ) I decided to make some burnt ends since it's been forever ago I made them last.
Used a little more rub to give them some extra flavor and a touch of Gates BBQ Sauce for that "back home" authentic flavor. My family gets this for me whenever they come down or I go up for a visit.

Flight to AC Airport Struck by Lightning, No Injuries
No injuries were reported when a Spirit Airlines plane flying to Atlantic City was struck by lightning Thursday night.
The Press of Atlantic City has reported that "a flight bound for Orlando from the Atlantic City International Airport was delayed Thursday evening because the plane was struck by a bolt of lightning while flying to Atlantic City."
Maggie Espin of Spirit Airlines told the Press of AC that Flight 262's scheduled flight "will be delayed two hours or more while the airline performs an inspection."
As a result of the incident and subsequent delays, passengers on that flight will be offered accommodations on the next flight available to their destination. They can also request refunds or book another flight, according to the Press of AC.

As an educator you are most likely aware of many of Adobe's great products, our super teacher resources like Adobe TV for professional development and the explosive growth of the Adobe Education Exchange. But what about those students of yours, especially students in underserved communities from around the world who could be empowered with some help from Adobe? Adobe Youth Voices (part of the Adobe Foundation Philanthropy Program) aims to help youth and educators who teach to them in these underserved communities from all over the world.
I recently had the honor of attending the 2011 Adobe Youth Voices summit in San Jose, CA where eighty educators chaperoned two youth from their schools and programs spending five days with them learning about Adobe products, technologies and teaching methodologies. But for me (who was on hand at the Summit doing some training) the high point was seeing what the educators along with their students created; outstanding short five minute movies covering subject like: Human Rights, Relationships, Communication, the Environment and other important topics. Using basic video & sound capturing hardware gear and primarily Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements to edit their videos the attendees broke into several teams and over the course of five sleepless days and nights produced amazing videos in record time.
Check out examples of some of the great Adobe Youth Voices videos in the Youth Media Gallery link here as well as more general information about the program here.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2013 (1650 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Evander KANE'S protests regarding racism are important and legitimate, but to twist his words and paint a picture of Winnipeg as a backwater where people of colour cannot work and enjoy life is unfair and an ill-conceived notion.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Winnipeg Goldeyes have long employed athletes of colour and they've been able to navigate their way through our city for decades.
"I grew up in South Carolina, so I've heard the worst of the worst when it comes to racism," said Blue Bombers defensive back and black professional athlete Jonathan Hefney, when reached on the phone Thursday.
"Winnipeg isn't Atlanta, Georgia, in terms of culture, but it's a great place to live. I smile at people and everyone smiles back at me. I've never heard anything racial in Winnipeg."
Hefney got into hot water on Twitter two off-seasons ago for questioning some moves made by management.
"People got on me, but none of it was racial," he said.
Kane had a good day Thursday drawing attention to the pitfalls of social media and bigotry in our society. We can't have enough of that kind of activism. So good for Evander.
Winnipeg is like any other city. It has its racists and its idiots, but Kane says no one in Winnipeg has ever approached him with a racial slur.
It all comes via Twitter or on message boards, and the boundaries of those mediums are certainly not restricted to the corners of Charleswood, Transcona, St. Boniface and River Heights. Those slurs can come from anywhere.
Kane made his original comment for an upcoming article when asked if he would face the same type of criticism he currently endures if he were white.
"I think a good portion of it is because I'm black, and I'm not afraid to say that," Kane told The Hockey News. "A lot of people pretend. People try to be politically correct, but you can see through that. But here's the thing, though: I don't feel like a victim and I don't want to be perceived as one. But do I think that's true? Absolutely."
Kane was greeted Thursday by a large media contingent by Winnipeg standards and was asked about his recent comments regarding race.
"In terms of that quote, I'm definitely referring to social media and that sort of stuff," Kane said.
"Nobody has ever, and I don't think anybody will ever come up to my face and say anything negative. It's more so on that (social media). Anybody can go on and have a look for themselves.
"Twitter, anything. I don't have a lot of the social media. I have a Twitter account, but that's pretty much it.
"Just different things that people can hide behind a computer and say what they want."
Blue Bombers legend Milt Stegall says he and other black athletes do feel a culture shock when they first get to Winnipeg.
"I won't say Winnipeg is a bad fit for a black athlete, but I will say a lot of guys, especially when they come up from the South, they experience some culture shock. They're so used to being able to see African-Americans and do certain things," Stegall said. "But when they're in Winnipeg, it's just not the case.
"But you have to come to understand that you're there to do a job and no one is forcing you to be there. You're getting paid to be there, so you adjust. Most guys realize people there love them and they're there to play football. Guys, whether they're in Winnipeg for a day or a year, say they loved it, were glad for the experience."
Stegall played in this city for more than a decade.
"I never faced racism there. There's been racism towards me, but it was on the Internet when I was kidding around and said hockey isn't a sport. My comment got put on YouTube and there were some bad racist comments," he said. "They were on the Internet. Were those people from Winnipeg? I have no idea. Some of those comments were truly shocking."
Kane has been slurred for things such as his haircut, choices in music and his style of dress. He was asked if such attention would be paid to him if he lived in a larger U.S. city such as Chicago, New York or Boston.
"Probably not. They have bigger things to talk about in New York," Kane said with a smile. "(Winnipeg) is a fishbowl and it's part of the job description and part of the territory.
"With the positive attention comes negative, and I try not to pay too much attention to the positive or the negative. I remember my junior coach told me today's news is tomorrow's ass-wipe. So that's the way I look at things."
Evander Kane shouldn't face racism. No one should. Not on Twitter or in person. It's abhorrent and needs to be battled. That's why Kane's story is an important one.
But to hang it on Winnipeg as a city more racist than the next is simply wrong. Not that Winnipeg can't learn or is above introspection.
We should all be willing to look inside ourselves and Kane has done us the favour of providing a reminder.

I have been alerted to another dataset put onto Ancestry.co.uk website. This time it in the Tyler Collection which is held by the in Canterbury, Kent.
Knowing nothing about this collection I read up about it on the ancestry site. It seems that Frank Watt Tyler compiled 3,240 books which contained transcripts of parish registers, monumental inscriptions and wills. His area of interest was East Kent and the records run from 1538 – 1874.
This sounds like one of those little know resources that are now available to be used by a much wider audience. So anyone with East Kent families this could be worth a search.

Will update with more later.
The NHL suspended Andre Deveaux for three games for his elbow to the head of Florida's Tomas Fleischmann Wednesday in Sunrise.
That sounds about right. The Rangers were anticipating the suspension, so either Carl Hagelin or John Mitchell — both called up Thursday — will play in Deveaux's spot this afternoon in D.C. Maybe both will play.
Here's Brendan Shanahan's video explanation of the disciplinary action.
And here is the NHL's announcement:
NEW YORK (November 25, 2011) — New York Rangers forward Andre
Deveaux has been suspended, without pay, for three games for delivering an
illegal check to the head of Florida forward Tomas Fleischmann during NHL
Game #307 Wednesday night in Sunrise, Fla., the National Hockey League's
Department of Player Safety announced today.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and
based on his average annual salary, Deveaux will forfeit $8,513.52. The
money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
At 10:59 of the second period, Deveaux delivered a blow with
his elbow to Fleischmann's head. Fleischmann was injured on the play and
taken to the lockerroom but returned later in the period. Officials
assessed a match penalty to Deveaux under Rule 48.5 for an illegal check to
the head that caused injury.
Deveaux will miss games this afternoon at Washington, Nov. 26
vs. Philadelphia and Nov. 29 vs. Pittsburgh. He will be eligible to return
Dec. 1 at Carolina.

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. - As his time with the Nassau County Sheriff's Office winds down, Sheriff Tommy Seagraves says it has been an honor for him to be an employee of the organization for the last 30 years and a privilege to serve as sheriff for the last eight.
"When I came to work, there was 18 people in jail, we had about 65 employees, and we only had four deputies working the entire county," Seagraves said.
The bittersweet end for the sheriff has given him a lot of time to reflect on his career with the Sheriff's Office. He points to being on America's Most Wanted in 1994 when he was a detective trying to arrest serial killer Gary Ray Bowles as his most memorable case. But the thing he is most proud of is leaving the Sheriff's Office with no unsolved homicide cases.
"I think it sends a message. I've heard it from surrounding counties that people who would come up here to commit crimes say they wouldn't do it in Nassau, they don't play, they will put you in jail," Seagraves said.
For the last three years, the FBI has been investigating Seagraves and the organization for alleged misuse of funds. Seagraves has said from the beginning neither he nor the Sheriff's Office have done anything wrong, and as he leaves office, he still maintains that.
"We're going to cooperate with them," he said. "As far as where it's at, three years later, I'm still sitting here and we're still here cooperating and open. I feel confident that we are doing what we are supposed to be doing."
Seagraves' time with the Sheriff's Office officially ends at midnight Monday. That's when Sheriff-elect Bill Leeper, a retired lieutenant with the Florida Highway Patrol, will take over.

I have an image and some text in a bordered box. The site is Responsive, so the width of the box varies over a pretty wide range.
The site is built with Twitter Bootstrap, which handles all the responsive features very well. But this text wrapping problem has me stumped. I look at the rules with Firebug, but can not figure out why the min-width doesn't work? Any help or ideas are appreciated....:)
A page with this problem is live here: http://easydigging.com/Garden_Tool/hoeing_weeding.html
Near the bottom of page are two article excerpts, each with a picture. They are in boxes with green borders and radiused corners. Remember that the site is responsive - the boxes will be different widths on different devices. The easist way to see the problem is to use a desktop monitor and pull the screen width down from wide to narrow. (In tablet width range and in small phone width range, there is no float:left on the image - there just isn't enough room for it)
Here is the HTML for the articles:

"Built like a large hoe with flat tines instead of a single blade,
the cultivating fork works like a muscle-powered rototiller. With
this tool in hand, I can quickly plow through the soil, dislodging
weeds, breaking up compacted surface soil, loosening, mixing, and
generally getting a bed ready for planting."

*excerpt from the article

Essential Tools for Working the Soil
by Joe Queirolo in Fine Gardening magazine.

"For really tough jobs such as breaking up soil for a new bed,
Easy Digging offers a pointed or ridging hoe made by Bellotto
that has a beefy, two-pound, eight inch, triangular, forged steel
blade that digs through rocks and gravel as well as soil. It is
also terrific for mounding soil around potatoes."

*excerpt from the article

Selecting the Right Hoe
by Rita Pelczaro in The American Gardener magazine.

And here is the CSS that pertains:
.articles-1 {
padding: 15px;
border: solid 2px;
border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
border-color: #C9D77B;
/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.articles-1 { min-height: 280px; }
.articles-1 img { float: left; height: 280px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; } }
/* Normal desktop */
@media (min-width: 980px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
.articles-1 { min-height: 260px; }
.articles-1 img { float: left; height: 260px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; } }
/* Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {
.articles-1 { min-height: 220px; }
.articles-1 img { height: 220px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; } }
/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
@media (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 767px) {
.articles-1 { min-height: 280px; }
.articles-1 img { float: left; height: 260px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; } }
/* Landscape phones and down */
@media (max-width: 480px) {
.articles-1 { min-height: 280px; }
.articles-1 img { height: 280px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; } }
The images are square, so I set the min-width of the first paragraph in each article just a little narrower than the photo width. That should make it easier to notice that the first paragraph often gets quite skinny right before the screen width narrows enough to trigger the next CSS media rule. Let me know if I need to post any other info...
It does indeed work. It stops squeezing down once it gets to a width of 250px. The real question is, what behavior do you actually want? I don't think min-width is what you are looking for here.
I'm guessing that at a certain width, you want the
 to sit under the image? It's probably best to look at media queries for this. Anyhow, please first describe what you do want to see.
Ralph asked:
I want there to be a REASONABLE amount of text to the side of the image. Once it starts getting unreasonable, then I want ALL the text to move under the image. As an example, the following would be OK: (switching to text on the left and image on the right to make the typing easier...)
The red pig was obstinateabout what types of foodhe would devour. He didnot like truffles or tunafish.
The following would not be good (and this is what I am seeing happen, at least on Firefox..._
Theredpigwasobstinate about what types of food he would devour. He did notlike truffles or tuna fish.
What would be perfect would be able to specify that each line of text next to the image have at least 20 characters in it, and when that can no longer happen then all the text goes under the image. Since that's not possible, I was assuming that I had to specify a minimum paragraph width in pixels? What I am afraid is happening is that as soon as there is at least one line of text under the image, the paragraph width becomes equal to the width of the bordered box :mad:
Ralph said:
It does indeed work. It stops squeezing down once it gets to a width of 250px.
Really? I don't see that using Firefox. In any screen width, the image is always around 270px and I see the text to the right get squeezes down to around 180px.
I'm going to try to attach an image of a screenshot showing the width narrowed down until just before it switches to the smallest phone CSS settings...
Once the
 hits the min width, I see this in all my browsers:
Is that what you want?
Hi Ralph,
I guess we are having a mis-communication
How do you measure the
 to know that it is 250px or more wide?
As an experiment, I opened the page in a different browser (Chrome) and temporarily added the the rule float:left; to the image for the smallest screen width: (you won't be able to replicate this extreme case because I removed the float immediately after getting the screen shot)
/* Landscape phones and down */
@media (max-width: 480px) {
.articles-1 { min-height: 280px; }
.articles-1 img { [U][B]float: left;[/B][/U] height: 280px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; }
And that lets text stay to the right of the image until it stacks up to say like this:
"Builtlike alargehoewithflattines
which I'm pretty sure is not 250px wide
Here's a picture of it:
Ah sorry, I didn't actually measure the width of the
 when it was falling. The reason it suddenly drops is because the float is removed from the image at that point, so the
 is forced to sit underneath.
Whew! Glad we cleared that up
I was starting to think maybe my computer was malfunctioning.
So any ideas on how to fix the very skinny text stack problem?
In my browsers you have solved it, by removing the float on the image once the container gets to a certain width. In what browser are you getting that skinny text?
Oh, I didn't explain that well enough... I need to know how to fix it in a general sense. The example page I linked to works well enough because I spent too much time setting image widths and even re-writing the text to work reasonably well in this one case.
Now I am working on a different page that has a similar "image+text in a box" and I don't want to have to tweak every single page that has a "image+text in a box".
That's why I want to know how to keep the text from doing silly things like having just one word per line next to the image...
The advantage of CSS is that you create a style that applies to the same situation on any page. Currently, you have a rule that any image in a box with class "article-1" will be floated at certain screen widths and not floated at others—no matter what page it appears on. E.g.
@media (max-width: 1199px) and (min-width: 980px)
.articles-1 img {
float: left;
height: 260px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
So the trick is to wrap any image you want to behave like this in a div with class="article-1". If that's not a very intuaitive class name, or if there are other styles on article-1 that you don't want to apply in all situations, then choose a class specifically for this behavior, such as "img":
<div class="articles-1 img">

@media (max-width: 1199px) and (min-width: 980px)
.img img {
float: left;
I agree that will work. Actually I already created classes article-1, article-2, and article-3 trying to do it this way for different pages. But it seems to be a never ending cycle. I really don't want to still be doing it all the way up to article-49 :rolleyes:
I found this article that seems to have a cool solution to exactly this problem:http://css-tricks.com/minimum-paragraph-widths/
but I don't understand how the psuedo element works, and how to have it show up only in the "image+text in boxes" I create. Does the linked article make any sense to anybody that can translate it into how I would use it in my case?
Unless you have flueid images, you don't need that solution anyway.
I really don't want to still be doing it all the way up to article-49
The idea is that you use the articles-1 class on every page, not create a different class for every page.
Or instead, as I mentioned, create a special class just for boxes that contain an image that will need to behave like this, such as the .img class I mentioned above.
Let's agree to just give the name Method 1 to the idea of avoiding the problem by using CSS media queries to turn the float on and off.- It's the method I've been using and it's the method that Ralph has mentioned above. It works well if you can keep your box width and image width combination in a narrow range. But when that combination changes much, then you need a new set of media queries to keep things looking nice. It is sort of a brute force method and requires that you really pay attention to your widths and CSS.
So let's ignore Method 1 and try something new. :lol:
What we REALLY want is a new Method 2 :eek:- This would be a method that does not require paying much attention to your image widths and your box widths. And that means it works better for responsive design where it is nicer to just let the image width be some percentage of the box width.
I'm working on adapting the idea from the article mentioned above and will post it soon...

Multi award winning Ocean Rafting visits the "Wild Side" of the Whitsunday Islands, the uninhabited islands with beautiful natural scenery brimming with marine, bird and animal life. There are two exciting tour options, the Northern Exposure and Southern Lights. Each Ocean Rafting day offers three days in one, including an exhilarating ride to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, pristine snorkelling reefs and guided Whitsunday Island National Parks walks. Ocean Rafting offers the ultimate access to the stunning and iconic Hill Inlet beach and special snorkel sites at Hook Island and Border Island ensure a memorable underwater experience, with special permits allowing the vessels to visit protected areas in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
The semi rigid inflatable vessels are super fast allowing guests to experience a fun ride, adventure and education amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays. 32 passengers at most allows for personal snorkelling lessons and the pleasure of a small group. An optional buffet style lunch is served at the beach with plenty of time to swim in the turquoise ocean or just relax on the silica white sand.
Tours depart from Abell Point Marina North and courtesy coach pickups are included.
The Southern Lights tours visits both the northern and southern ends of Whitehaven Beach. Enjoy at least two hours relaxing on the world famous white silica sand, walk to the Southern Whitehaven lookout with breathtaking views of Pentecost Island and the tropical waters of the Whitsundays, and join the guided walk to the stunning Hill Inlet lookout. Snorkel for over an hour at Border Island, Dumbell Island or one of their "secret" snorkel spots and enjoy the amazing hard and soft corals of the fringing reefs. The main difference between the two tours is that the Southern Lights has more beach time and the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time.
The Northern Exposure eco adventure is a favourite amongst avid snorkellers because it is the only Whitsunday adventure which includes two different snorkel destinations. Not only that, but it includes a visit to the stunning beach at Hill Inlet, north end of Whitehaven Beach, and a guided National Park walk to the lookout above the silica sand of Whitehaven. Explore the restricted area of beautiful Hill Inlet at Whitehaven Beach. The main difference between the two tours is that the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time and the Southern Lights has more beach time.
