IRVINE — Sacred Heart Prep-Atherton overcame several challenges throughout its CIF State Div. IV girls volleyball championship match with Parker-San Diego on Saturday. But the Gators ran out of miracles, losing to the Lancers 25-22, 28-26, 22-25, 22-25, 15-13 at Concordia University. SHP had two game-points in the second set, but couldn't convert as Parker-San Diego (37-2) came back to steal the set after trailing 17-12. The feisty Gators were not daunted by the deficit and began the long climb back.
"Even though we lost, that didn't stop us," said Sacred Heart Prep senior Ellie Shannon, who led the Gators with 17 kills. "It gave us more momentum because we knew we could do it."
"We didn't do anything different after the first two sets," SHP coach Damien Hardy said. "It's all the girls. They're a bunch of fighters."
Sophomore Victoria Garrick added 16 kills for the Gators, while middle blocker Payton Smith contributed 11 with five blocks. Outside hitter Sonia Abuel-Saud had 10 kills.
The Gators, making their eighth state final appearance, finished the year 33-6.
Michaela Dews led Parker to their seventh state title with a match-high 20 kills, while four other Lancer players had double-digit kills.
In Game 5, SHP trailed 5-4 before scoring four points in a row, including two kills from Jillian Geary and a combined block by Geary and Shannon. Tied at 8-all, Shannon notched a kill off the block, then made a great save that led to an Abuel-Saud cross that was returned way long to put SHP up 11-8.
Parker regrouped off a timeout and Grace Forren's next swing put the ball straight down, adding two more kills to to forge at 12-12 tie. A Jenn Wineholt service ace and another Dews kill off the block put Parker up 14-12. A long rally ensued and Smith scored from the middle to keep SHP alive. However, Parker setter Erika Connors turned on the return of a dump to blast the ball for the final point.
"It was incredibly close," Hardy said. "Every match, every point. I think about every point and what I should have done differently."
"We played pretty well," Shannon said. "We're fighters. The last couple of games, we picked up our game. We're a little down because we wanted to win. But we're proud of how we played."
The first 41 points produced 37 sideouts and only four points for the serving team, with neither team leading in Game 1 by more than two points through that span. SHP led 20-19, but couldn't close it out.
In the second set, the Gators broke an 11-11 tie with a 5-1 run to lead 17-12. During that surge, Smith joined with setter Cammie Merten to block Dews, then with Abuel-Saud to stuff Alex Deddeh. Abuel-Saud scored on a roll shot and Smith killed from the middle. Parker rallied back to gain a set point at 24-23, but the Gators responded with a smart push to the deep corner from Abuel-Saud and a service ace from Smith for a 25-24 lead. However, the teeter-totter turned the other way as Grace Forren had two kills to put Parker on the brink of the state title.
The Gators jumped ahead in the third set 11-6, then 15-11. At 22-all, libero Helen Gannon smacked a down ball to the back right corner, where the Lancer defender could only get part of it. Abuel-Saud and Smith combined on a block where the ball went back over the net and fell on the Lancers' floor, just inside the sideline, giving the set to the Gators.
The Gators trailed 22-19 in Game 4, but Parker was unable to claim the state title as SHP won the next six points. Shannon scored on a tip, then blasted a laser to the center back and, after a Parker timeout, Smith tied the score with a bullet down to the floor on a quick set. Shannon and Smith combined on a block for a 23-22 lead and another Parker timeout.
Gannon ripped her trademark serve with a quick drop for an ace as Parker's libero Sarah Benjamin could not react fast enough. The crowd roared and the crafty Gannon mixed it up with a harder, deeper serve that handcuffed Benjamin for a set-ending ace.
"In sets three and four, Sacred Heart Prep's serve-receive game picked up," Parker coach John Landicho said. "They passed well enough to run their offense. They got the ball to 10 (Shannon) and 12 (Smith). Their kids were putting the ball away. They're a competitive bunch. They'll make you make mistakes."

Topic: 18 month check-up-Dr. says "REMISSION"
That's a word I never thought I would hear from our Dr. He's great but I thought he was very pessimistic at first until I began researching and being involved on this site. His statistics were completely correct- but there are still miracles and we think my husband must be one of them. His MRI's came back with no visible tumor once again and bloodwork etc. is normal. He has not had any treatment for a year now other than the "magic" pills I give him. As I wrote under Carol58's post about radiation ,I really wonder if the fact that the Docs left the left portal vein tied off after abandoning their attempt to remove the tumor is what caused his treatment to be so successful. If so, maybe this should be something that is done for patients with klatskin tumors. His left lobe completely dissolved because of the blood supply being shut off and I wonder if that also cut off the blood supply to the tumor and the chemo and radiation nuked it. I know that I have never read of anyone's klatskin tumor "dying" from just radiation and chemo,even with brachytherapy.In fact all that I have read says that it definitely will not happen! I hope that maybe this can benefit others. We know that there is still a good chance of recurrence but right now we are thankful for our good fortune! Best wishes to all. Mary

I was a little disappointed with that album. I like Islands but that album as a whole didn't really do it for me. What do you think of it so far?
Oh and "This Is Not A Song" sounds like a John Mayer's "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room".
Yeah I agree, the second half of the album dragged for me a lot. I was in the car and kind of wanted the album to end so I could listen to something else. Vapours was a lot better, but I probably need to give this album a closer listen. I usually pick up more nuances when I have headphones on as opposed to over the car speakers.

Advanced Sudoku Solving Strategies
The X-Wing technique, Swordfish and Aligned Pair Exclusion

Sudoku Complex Strategies - The X-wing Technique
Let's now look at some of the more complex strategies individually. Let's start with one of the more well known advanced strategies, X-Wing. Take a look at the board below, which is set up to demonstrate this technique.
You'll often see patterns like these on the more difficult game boards, and they're always arranged in a similar fashion, though they may be spaced much farther apart. The key is that they are aligned along the same rows and columns.
This strategy can be deployed when you see this setup, with one number occupying each of the 4 cells, and when that number MUST occupy 2 of those 4 cells (in this case we have 2 numbers appearing in all 4 cells, but only the 5's actually qualify for the X-Wing treatment).
So how do we identify this pattern? Well we can see on rows 2 and 5 that the 5 must reside in one of the 2 cells in the pattern (unlike the 6, which is not an X-Wing candidate because it can still reside elsewhere on both rows and columns still).
Since we now know that a 5 must reside in each of those columns in one of the two specified cells, we can remove them as candidates from the other cells in those columns.
This is a great help to us in R7C7, where we've now unlocked the 8 as the big number and broken this puzzle open. Without identifying the X-Wing pattern there, this puzzle would have been much more difficult to figure out.
The name X-Wing comes from the fact that we know the number(s) in question must finish diagonally across from each other, since in each position there is a row or column connected to it. So the two possible positions the numbers could end up in makes an X shape between the cells. Look for this pattern when you're stumped on a puzzle.
Swordfish Technique
Next we move onto Swordfish, a technique in the same vein as X-Wing, only this time we're looking at 3 columns and 3 rows, instead of X-Wing's 2.
Check out a sample scenario below.
Swordfish is a little trickier to spot than X-Wing for 2 reasons; firstly is the simple fact that the pattern is larger, with more cells involved. But perhaps even more so is the fact that Swordfish has no definable pattern like X-Wing. Since we're dealing with 3 cells and 3 rows, there's no forced box-like pattern like a 2 X 2 pattern forces.
The main points to remember are that 3 rows or columns have to contain 2 cells that the number in question MUST go in, and that these 3 rows or columns must be connected to each other (the rows must align with the columns or vice versa). This creates what is called a forced loop. An X-Wing is also a forced loop, just a shorter one.
So take a look at our example. We can see that on rows 3, 5, and 8, we have 2 possible cells on each row that could contain the number 2. Also note how these three rows are connected along 3 different columns, which is what creates that closed loop. To see how this technique unfolds, take a look at the next image.
This shows us the only two possible layouts the 2's could finish in. Either they'll all finish in the green cells, or they'll all finish in the yellow cells.
As you can see, in addition to there being a 2 in one of the cells in each of the 3 rows (which we already knew, since that's what started the Swordfish technique in motion), we now know that a 2 will also reside in one of those 2 cells in each column as well.
This helps us out immensely, as we can now eliminate the 2 as a candidate from several cells in those 3 columns.
While Swordfish can be difficult to spot, it's all but necessary to complete difficult Sudoku puzzles. Remember to keep an eye out for places where you can use this technique to bust out of tough spots.
In addition to Swordfish, this technique goes even deeper with a 4 row/column version called Jellyfish. This technique is rarely found or needed in puzzles, but if you're stumped and looking for answers, remember that it functions in the same way as X-Wing and Swordfish.
The only notable difference is that up to 4 cells can be occupied on each row/column, as opposed to 2. Once spotted, the process of deduction is the same, allowing you to remove the candidates from the connected rows/columns.
Aligned Pair Exclusion
Next up is a neat little technique called Aligned Pair Exclusion. Take a look at our partial game board below.
For now take a look at the two cream-colored cells at R2C7 and R2C8.
These cells are the focal point of this technique, as we'll be trying to figure out which combination of numbers is possible in those two cells.
As of right now, the possible combinations are 1-4, 1-6, 4-6, 4-7, and 6-7.
Now check out the cells in blue. These cells are either in the same box or along the same line as the cells we're trying to figure out, and only contain 2 candidates each.
This means that no matter what, our two cream-colored cells cannot contain the same combination of numbers as any of these cells, since that would leave those cells without a candidate.
So out of our 5 previously possible combinations, 3 of them get wiped out, 1-6, 4-7, and 6-7, which are contained in cells connected to these 2 cells.
That leaves the only possible combinations as 1-4, and 4-6. So we now know that R2C7 must be a 4, since 4 has to be in our combination, and R2C8 does not have a 4.
We can also wipe the 7 out as a candidate in R2C8.
When you get down to the end of a difficult puzzle and find you have a lot of cells with just 2 possible combinations, this technique will prove to be extremely handy.
Just remember that only cells with 2 candidates left, and which are connected to both of the cells you're targeting (so it can only be cells either along the column or row, whichever is applicable, but not both, as well as the box), can be used to uncover those cells.

MOJAVE, Calif. and ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- XCOR Aerospace announced today that it has issued the initial phase of a two-phase contract to ATK's Aerospace Structures Division (NYSE: ATK) for the detailed design and manufacture of the Lynx Mark I suborbital reusable launch vehicle (RLV) wings and control surfaces. This announcement represents a critical milestone in the march toward assembly, test and entry into commercial service of the Lynx.

"This partnership with XCOR will provide unique insights and innovations," said Andrew Jackson, vice president of ATK's Aerospace Structures Division Launch Segment. "ATK is honored to continue our heritage in creating composite manufacturing solutions for spaceflight and excited to engage in this commercial environment with XCOR."
"As an established industry leader it is only natural that XCOR sought to work with ATK as a key collaborator in the development of Lynx wings," said XCOR Chief Executive Officer Jeff Greason. "Our engagements with ATK impressed me from the start, not only due to their position as a leader in the industry, but through their immediate grasp of the unique challenges we face in the construction of Lynx wings. The story of Lynx is the story of sound design and reliable engineering. We could not be more thrilled to work with ATK."
XCOR Chief Operating Officer Andrew Nelson added that "until recently NewSpace companies and established aerospace primes like ATK often had minimal interaction with companies like XCOR as the subcontractor. With this effort we are establishing a model of how smaller NewSpace companies may utilize established government primes as our suppliers; ATK has demonstrated they are nimble, cost effective and can leverage deep experience from prior larger projects."
The initial wing and control surface design has been developed by XCOR to rigorous design standards to enable the craft to perform tens of thousands of flights to and from suborbital altitudes exceeding 100 kilometers. ATK will create a detailed design ready for manufacture, working with structural and flutter analysis experts from Quartus Engineering in San Diego, Ca. The wings will be installed on the Lynx Mark I, which is the prototype of the Lynx family of suborbital RLVs from XCOR; the production models are called Lynx Mark II.
About XCOR Aerospace: XCOR Aerospace is based in Mojave, California. It is currently starting the process to create a new Research and Development Center in Midland, Texas. XCOR builds safe, reliable and reusable rocket-powered vehicles, propulsion systems, advanced non-flammable composites and rocket piston pumps. XCOR works with aerospace prime contractors and government customers on major propulsion systems, while also building Lynx. Lynx is a piloted, two-seat, fully reusable liquid rocket-powered vehicle that takes-off and lands horizontally. The Lynx-family of vehicles serves three primary missions depending on their specific type including: research & scientific missions, private spaceflight, and micro satellite launch (only on the Lynx Mark III). Lynx production models (designated Lynx Mark II) are designed to be robust, multi-mission (research / scientific or private spaceflight) commercial vehicles capable of flying to 100+ km in altitude up to four times per day. Lynx vehicles are available to customers in the free world on a wet lease basis. (www.xcor.com).

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - A man charged with abducting a woman at a health clinic in Deerfield Beach made his first appearance in bond court on Tuesday.
Vinson Rattray, 32, was arrested late Monday. He was charged with kidnapping, displaying a firearm during a felony, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, wearing a mask while committing a third-degree felony, and aggravated stalking.
You can say stalking her. There were phone calls, emails ,and get her number changed," said Veda Coleman-Wright with the Broward Sheriff's Office.
According to BSO, Rattray forced Latonya Peak into a vehicle at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Amadeo Trinchitella Clinic, or Deerfield Beach High School Health Center, on Monday afternoon.
"When he first took her, he threatened to kill her," said Tisha Newton, Peak's cousin..
About an hour later and 12 miles away, investigators found the getaway car, a silver Dodge Charger, parked across the street from Coral Springs Medical Center at the Greenacres Apartments.
"I knew there had been a kidnapping," said Barbara Babinec. "And, all of a sudden, I saw police going past my back window with the rifles."
Seven hours after the abduction, police said Rattray peacefully surrendered to police after they surrounded an apartment he was in.
Peak was reunited with her family afterwards. She wasn't injured.
"She is doing good, well to be expected for all she went through," said Newton. "He didn't touch her physically."
Police released 911 calls Tuesday afternoon.
LISTEN: 911 calls
"All you know is that there's a man with a gun on the school?" asked the 911 operator.
"Yeah," said the caller.
Coworkers said Rattray harassed and threatened Peak for months. But Rattray's sister Octavia denied that.
"It's a lot of misunderstanding, a lot of miscommunication, a lot of everything," said Octavia Rattray. "Now, my brother, he did what he did, you can't take that from him, but just a lot of lies."
Octavia Rattray added that her brother was a patient at the Amadeo Trinchitella Clinic, where he was undergoing treatment for a heart condition.
Rattray was previously convicted on drug charges.

Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
I like that they are keeping Ben.
Any chance we see Ben in the D-League? Seems like it wouldn't be a bad move for him to get consistent playing time.
so Hill's out for the opener then
If he is, then someone should be fired for letting him play in the FanJam scrimmage.....
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "

We dont use the d-league
i am happy for hans making the team hopefully this sends a message to Tyler about hardwork.
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
A better player for the Pacers to send to the D-League is Orlando Johnson. They signed him for 3 years, so they have something vested in him, and there's a good chance he won't get regular PT unless there's injuries. Send him to the D-League to get him 30 minutes a night.
As a Piston fan, I feel the same way about Khris Middleton, who may be in the same situation as Johnson.
They signed OJ for 3 years?
I would have much rather given Ben Hansbrough's spot to Terrence Williams or Flynn
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
those dude's suck and have been bouncing around on the NBA with the word POTENTIAL.
sadly none of them will ever use it
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
According to shamsports, it's 3 (last year non-guaranteed). Semantics, I know.
IMO, that's the smartest move if you value a 2nd round draft pick, and more and more teams are doing it. If it works out, you get cheap value, plus the player becomes a restricted free agent with full bird rights, so the team can match any offer. The players that got 4 years (Blair, Budinger, Parsons, Stephenson, etc.) are unrestricted free agents and can go anywhere without their team being able to match.
I wish more people would understand the value of developing young talent like Orlando, rather than setting him on the bench for 82 games. Now, the D-League isn't perfect, but it makes more sense for a guy that you're locked into paying for 2 years and you clearly think has some potential then it does for a guy like Psycho B that likely won't be an important part of any team, although he could definitely prove me wrong.
Oh, and I don't see Orlando getting any PT, even with injuries. He's behind Hill/Augustin/Hansbrough(B)/Stephenson/George/Green in the rotation, and was a total black-hole in the Summer League/Preseason.
However questioning what he chooses to work on certainly is worth questioning.
I know it goes against almost every thing I believe in but in Tyler's case he needs to stay out of the weight room & work instead with a shooting coach a foot movement coach & a low post coach.
I'm not sure if it would work for them.
This is a glorified towel waver position & I would be stunned if he dressed for more than 5 games this year (barring injury) & he will be fine with that because he knows that he would not be in the NBA otherwise.
I'm not sure either of them would be happy in that role & would be more than likely a locker room distraction.
I find it remarkable how much smaller Ben is in comparison with Tyler. They do have the same dad or not?
Look at the Plumlee brothers and how they all have almost the exact same height.
I'm glad for the little bro that he is now in the same place as his big brother and I already wonder who will last the longest.
If you are that much smaller than your brother, you must have developed a tough and hardworking attitude.
And for all the talk about Tyler being exactly like that, he doesn't seem to have gained much confidence in his jump shot nor significantly improved overall so far in the NBA.
Don't like they kept Ben.
I'd rather the Pacers wait till all the other teams have dropped players (especially pgs) and see if there was anything worth picking up. Of course they still can since Ben's deal is nonguaranteed.
Juan Johnson would be nice, but there's no room. Damn you Pendergraph for having a guaranteed deal!! What a dumb contract that was, but at least it was a dumb cheap contract. If he signs somewhere, I do hope the Pacers give him a look next season once Hans and Pends are off the books.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Off the top of my head, I don't know how much Portland used the D-League under Pritch, but they did in at least one case to good effect (McRoberts.) I believe Vogel has voiced his opposition (a la Jimmy), but it infuriates me to no end that we've had this potentially very valuable resource for 5 years now and not come close to using it.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Talent-wise, sure, but the team has a good group and at least in the case of TWill it seems silly to risk an attitude rocking the boat. I hate to be saying that, but that appears to be a legit concern with him. He's a top notch passer, but he really needs to be playing more of a point forward position with a shoot-first PG on the court. With Paul, Danny and Green here (and now Young) it seems excessive. TWill is a better passer, rebounder and defender than Sam, but he's not the scorer and is lacking in stability, something that seems to be a strong suit with Sam.
Ben isn't going to play anywhere the minutes of Price as far as I can see.
But I also don't think this is on behalf of Tyler or anything. In fact Tyler seems totally unaffected by Ben being on the squad. I think they should be judged independently, and Ben was a guy coming out of the draft that I liked as a 2nd round pick due to gamesmanship and a knack for handling tough spots. He seems like a player that can be better than his skill level in certain moments, which works well with a 4th string type of player.
Orlando 100% should go to the D-league. He's a scorer and needs to keep working on scoring moves and staying fresh. Practice with the Pacers might challenge his defense a little (due to better athletes) but I don't think it will provide him enough scoring reps at game speed.
I LOVE SAM YOUNG. He's not a starter, but barring continued shooting woes from last year he could be a nice contributor off the bench. I love when the team gets to at least look at players I wanted them to steal later in the draft the first time around.

But right now he's almost helpless with the ball underneath, his only out being a possible foul call.
Of course as I've said about him and about many other players/people, you can't realistically expect people to drastically change their games. A guy like Hibbert is pushing the limit IMO, his change is what I'd consider dramatic, and he still looks sort of like the awkward, not-always-confident Georgetown player who seemed probable to not hang in the NBA due to coordination and quickness.
Just the fact that he's gotten smoother (but not quite smooth) and tougher (but still sometimes gets in his own head) is a testament to the enormous work he's put in to change his game. You can't expect guys to develop smooth lefty hooks, etc on a regular basis.
For Tyler to find a West-like post game this late in his career it would take an incredible change in how his brain and body react to the game, something he just spent 15-20 years developing.

8-Channel, 1 MSPS, 10-Bit ADC with Sequencer in 20-Lead TSSOP
Features and Benefits
- Fast throughput rate: 1 MSPS
- Specified for AVDD of 2.7 V to 5.25 V
- Low Power:
6.0 mW max at 1 MSPS with 3 V supply
13.5 mW max at 1 MSPS with 5 V supply
- Eight (single-ended) inputs with sequencer
- Wide input bandwidth: AD7928, 70 dB min SINAD at 50 kHz input frequency
- Flexible power/serial clock speed management
- No pipeline delays
- High speed serial interface SPI®/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™/DSP compatible
Product Categories
A/D Converters
Product Details
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using CS and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CS and conversion is also initiated at this point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.
The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 use advanced design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation at maximum throughput rates. At maximum throughput rates, the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 consume 2 mA maximum with 3 V supplies; with 5 V supplies, the current consumption is 2.7 mA maximum.
Through the configuration of the control register, the analog input range for the part can be selected as 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN, with either straight binary or twos complement output coding. The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 each feature eight single-ended analog inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a preprogrammed selection of channels to be converted sequentially.
The conversion time for the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is determined by the SCLK frequency, which is also used as the master clock to control the conversion.
Product Highlights
- High Throughput with Low Power Consumption. The AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 offer up to 1 MSPS throughput rates. At the maximum throughput rate with 3 V supplies, the AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 dissipate just 6 mW of power maximum.
- Eight Single-Ended Inputs with a Channel Sequencer. A sequence of channels can be selected, through which the ADC cycles and converts on.
- Single-Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function. The AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply. The VDRIVE function allows the serial interface to connect directly to either 3 V or 5 V processor systems independent of AVDD.
- Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management. The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock speed increase. The parts also feature various shutdown modes to maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates. Current consumption is 0.5 μA max when in full shutdown.
- No Pipeline Delay. The parts feature a standard successive approximation ADC with accurate control of the sampling instant via a CS input and once off conversion control.

The 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles insurrection is being observed this week in L.A., and to a lesser extent, elsewhere. I was living in another state when the insurrection occurred 20 years ago, but felt tied to the events through a relative living close to the action and through a sense of connection to my hometown. This week, I decided to relive the events by following @RealTimeLARiots on Twitter.
@RealTimeLARiots is published by the local NBC station in Los Angeles. According to the announcement on the NBC-LA page, "Each @RealTimeLARiots tweet corresponds to the actual date and time (sometimes down to the minute) of each major event as it unfolded back in 1992." This reminded me of a similar effort I noted a few weeks previous, the History channel's live-tweeting of the Titanic Voyage at @TitanicRealTime on the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking.
Both the History Channel and NBC-LA used the term "live-tweeting" to describe their efforts, but it's not really an accurate description of either account. What they're doing is more like a dramatic reconstruction in real-time. The spontaneity of a live event is missing, since the events on which individual tweets are based have already occurred.
Although missing the live component, the serial dramas presented in @RealTimeLARiots and @TitanicRealTime nonetheless have the power to spark new emotions as people on Twitter remember, learn about and share the events of the past. In the case of @TitanicRealTime, some younger Followers discovered for the first time that the story of the Titanic was real, rather than fictional. I haven't seen any confirmed instances of people confusing @RealTimeLARiots with the present-day, although that could emerge still.
To kick off @RealTimeLARiots, NBC-LA asked, "What if Twitter existed in 1992? How would social media help tell the story of Rodney King and the Los Angeles Riots?" Which gets it exactly wrong, because although @RealTimeLARiots can reconstruct the events of 20 years ago, the one thing it cannot do is tell the events of yesteryear as if Twitter existed back then. Reading the recreation of events presented on @RealTimeLARiots is in a way similar to watching an old movie on Blu-ray. The events are being remastered, not remade.
The news experience on Twitter is cacophonous, and never more so than when news is breaking. No one can say how Twitter's chorus of voices might have shaped the L.A. insurrection, even as it narrated its progress. Much has been written about how Twitter enables activism; it is also proving to be a capable tool during emergencies. The hashtag #SMEM, which stands for Social Media for Emergency Management, tracks some of the new uses of Twitter during emergency situations.
The L.A. insurrection might have unfolded differently, as participants shared information online; it also might have been managed differently, with citizens, first responders, law enforcement and military using Twitter to navigate the crisis.
Despite their limitations, @RealTimeLARiots and @TitanicRealTime are successful examples of new media serial entertainment or edutainment. Only time will tell if their popularity or the technology that supports them will last.

Should a tire on your 97-2001 Corvette ever pick up a nail on a dark, stormy night, youll greatly appreciate the use of Extended Mobility Tires. Youll have much more flexibility in choosing where youll get that nail removed and the tire fixed.
With a typical tire, when the air is gone, the fun is over. To cue you that a tire has low air pressure, GM engineers put sensors on the wheels that constantly inform the computer of the air pressure inside the tire. If that pressure falls below a safe level, the computer will alert the driver to the situation through the Drivers Information Console (DIC).
Great technology, if it works right. For any number of reasons, the sensors communication with the computer can become corrupted, and that can lead to the wrong tire being represented in the DIC, or to a complete loss of communication between the computer and the sensors. On the surface, this seems to be an involved, lengthy process, to be tinkered with only by people with thick-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors. This is not the case. We at Corvette Fever , under the direction of Chris Petris of the Corvette Clinic, will show you just how simple it really is to teach your wheels a thing or two.

Estee Lauder High Gloss Reviews
Still my "mama's" make-up!But I love it anyway! Whenever I think of Estee Lauder I think of my mom and grandma. Every time my mom buys the gift with purchase, she always gives me the lip glosses and these are just fabulous. Admittedly, I would never buy them myself; I am a frugalista if there ever was one! Surprisingly, these glosses are not what I would typically like. They tend to be a little thicker (longer staying powe...read morer!), a tad sticky if too much is applied, and as the editor commented, perfumey. But I still love them. They are shiny and can last a few hours, rather than a few minutes. And for whatever reason, the taste and smell of them doesn't bother me a bit. In fact, strangely enough, I like it. The shades are so flattering there truly is a color for everyone. I would definitely recommend. — 5 years, 3 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews

EHI received a few of them as samples in a raffle from my friend's job. I'm not a very big fan of lip gloss, but they were free so its not like I wasted my money. Okay, I think they start out a bit sticky. Its doesn't glide on smoothly. I like that it has a little bit of shimmer, its not too much which is cool, but the scent IS a bit much.

I agree with the Total Beauty editorBlush is a lovely color and is very shiny, so I hope I can find something similar in another brand. This gloss is just too flavorful/perfumed and too short-lived for me to consider repurchasing. I do, however, like the slim tube and smooth formula. — 8 years, 7 months agoteshie | 396 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

This is an excellent thread, thanks to all who have given info.
Since there was mention of using a towel, I dug up this video from 08. I shot it at a clinic that was put on a day before a tournament. Dave Feldberg was the main presenter and used a towel to make a couple of points. This video is of Barry Schultz using it. It's short, but has a nice snap!

If you are interested in adding Charlotte to your family, please go to www.hcwdogrescue.com and complete an application.
*Adoption Fee*
$200.00 includes the following: neuter/spay, parasite free, rabies vaccination, DHLPP vaccination, Bordetella vaccination, microchip, heartworm negative and current on prevention.
Thanks for choosing adoption!!!!
January of 2012 we opened our "Lodge"(we call it that cause we DO NOT like the shelter word and we try not to even say it around our dogs). It's amazing, we try to make our dogs feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Because after all we are preparing them for their furever home.
We are a small rescue and we are so proud of all of the lives we have saved and are going to save....this is only the beginning. Also, we are helping our community become educated about pet care, spay and neuter, and what a shelter life can be for an animal.
Last but not least I have to brag about our volunteers, without them we could not exist. They are truly the backbone, they foster, help with fundraisers, network our dogs, and most of all have the same passion we do.
We are strictly a non-profit rescue located in a small southern Kentucky town. We survive off of fundraiser and donations. We decided early on that we wanted to keep all of our pups on a consistent diet all the time.
If you want to help this is a great way to help because the second largest expense we have is dog food. We feed Pedigree adult food, Purina puppy chow and who could forget about the Milk Bones!! Everyone needs to be rewarded right.
There are all kinds of ways you can help: Help network our pets for adoption, donate to the day to day use items such as:paper towels, bleach, Pedigree dog food, Milk Bones, dish washing detergent, laundry detergent, dog toy, collars, leashes, blankets, kundra beds, foster, ect.
Please call 270.847.9544 if you would like to schedule an appointment.
Thank You!

NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply.

A taco featuring a mushroom and ground beef blend won first place for the Mushroom Council in the Chef Demo Challenge at the Produce Marketing Association Foodservice Conference.
Culinary Institute of America chef Doug Goettsch cooked the tacos at the annual competition July 21 in Monterey, Calif., whose theme this year was healthy and flavorful children's menus.
The San Jose-based council's recipe used an equal mix of white mushrooms and 80% lean ground beef in the blend, according to a news release.
The week before the Monterey event, School Nutrition Association annual conference attendees in Denver sampled the blend in a meatball recipe from the National Food Service Management Institute.
The Mushroom Council is touting the concept of swapping some meat content for mushrooms as a way to help meet U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition standards requiring schools to serve vegetables daily at lunch and reduce sodium and calories.
"If we are to meet PMA's goal to increase produce usage in foodservice by 2020 as well as the new school nutrition meal pattern, we need to not just deliver nutrition, but provide simple, tasty alternatives," Bart Minor, council president, said in the release.

CHICO — A dramatic change to the city's structure was proposed Tuesday at the end of a two-meeting goal-setting study session.
City Manager Brian Nakamura presented the City Council with a recommendation to restructure the city from 12 department heads to five. The change will cause a reduction in staff and associated cost-savings, he said, though he did not provide specifics.
The five new lead departments would be police, fire, public works, community development and administrative services. It is Nakamura's goal that the cost savings will help the city invest in necessary improvements, including meeting its public safety needs.
"This was not something that was easy to put together," Nakamura said. "It took a lot of time and energy but it has to be considered with where we take the organization."
City department heads sat hushed as they watched the restructuring plan outlined, a few taking pictures with cellphones. Members of the public listened intently as the council gave reactions.
Councilor Scott Gruendl became teary as he said he thought the council was turning a corner with the city manager's proposal.
"People have given us a hard time because we brought somebody in from the outside, and that's very inconsistent with the history of this organization," he said. "This is one of those moments when I am really proud because it represents a significant shift ... that we as a board of this corporation recognize that we have a problem and recognize that we have a way to get out of that problem."
Councilors Sean Morgan and Mark Sorensen echoed their support.
"I have felt for a couple years that it's needed to occur," Sorensen said. "I've been very uncomfortable in seeing the depleting of the reserves and all the ways we have borrowed funds. I appreciate Brian coming in and doing the heavy lifting."
Any restructuring must be approved by the City Council.
Nakamura wants to have the changes in place this fiscal year, which means by July 1. He said he hopes to have cost-saving estimates to present at Tuesday's regular council meeting.
Mayor Mary Goloff acknowledged a change will be difficult.
"But I also believe that change provides opportunities. If we were never to challenge ourselves and never to question if the way we are currently doing business is the best, we'd never find out by doing things differently if we can do things better," she said. "I feel we are acting in the best interest of the community."
Councilors Tami Ritter and Randall Stone both said they would like to take the priorities of each department into consideration along with the proposed restructuring.
"I'm supportive of the broad strokes but I need some more details before I can do much pom-poms," Stone said.
Councilor Ann Schwab questioned how the shifts in responsibility would work.
"I assure you, it will work," Nakamura said. "It will be more effective, more functional."
The restructuring plan should not be a surprise, Nakamura said. He has been talking about the need to "right-size" the organization from his first day on the job.
"I got hired to run an organization," he said, noting he left his prior city with $13 million in reserves after downsizing the organization by half. Such an approach is not necessarily what Chico needs, but it does need restructuring, Nakamura said.
For some city staff, Tuesday night was likely the first time they saw the formal plan, Gruendl said.
"For some, it's a monumental letdown," he said. "You don't see them eliminated from the diagram but you see them subservient to other department heads ... And as these folks move, so will their salaries."
It could be a life-changing decision for some staff and one that influences their thoughts about a future with the city, Gruendl said.
"But unfortunately, we are too big for today's reality," he said, adding that if not all, a significant majority of the City Council supports this transition.

Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets Recalled for Containing 'Diseased and Unsound Animals' – Time to Rank My Favorite Hot Pockets
It was announced yesterday that Nestle USA, makers of my go to breakfast as a child, is recalling 238,000 cases of Hot Pockets because they contain "diseased and unsound animals". This is sad for 2 reasons: there are animals on Earth that are now 'unsound', and my favorite meal as a child is under fire. I think it's time to rank 'em. Here are my top 5 favorite Hot Pockets:

Children, cherries and cheese are prominent in the 2013 marketing strategy for Chelan Fresh Marketing, company officials say.
A co-marketing venture with The Laughing Cow cheese products has begun, said a news release from the Chelan, Wash.-based marketer of Washington tree fruit.
For that promotion, 3- and 5-pound bags of apples from Chelan Fresh have oversized Kwik Loks printed with $1-off coupons for The Laughing Cow cheese.
Marketing director Mac Riggan said in the release the cheese coupons are on all of Chelan's poly bags and some mesh bags.
The program is planned to run through April, with the goal of moving 1 million bags of apples with the cheese coupons.
For the Fuel Up to Play 60 campaign, initiated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the NFL and the National Dairy Council, Chelan Fresh Marketing is encouraging children to consume fresh fruits and vegetables so they will have energy for at least one hour of active play every day.
Chelan's 3-pound bags of apples and anjou pears are marked with the Fuel Up logo, details and Web links. The special packaging is scheduled to continue through February, the Chelan release said.
For the 2013 cherry season, Chelan Fresh plans heavy promotions of its white-fleshed Orondo Ruby variety, the news release said.
Riggan expects to move 40,000 packs of the variety this year, double the volume from 2012.
Shipments of the Orondo Ruby cherries are expected to begin the third week of June, the release said.

Fashionistas no longer need to follow strict fashion guidelines slavishly. Because of the proliferation of clothes - both cheap and pricey - consumers are faced with endless choices, designs, cuts, lengths, colours, textures and ensembles, 24/7.
The hard-and-fast rules of tailoring and matching your lipstick to your handbag have all but vanished, and you can be a different person every day of the week, if you so desire.
Fashion magazines, shows and blogs don't make the choices easier, either. Whereas one mag can tell you that minimalism is all the craze right now, another will rave about the beauty of pastels and the importance of matching your pants to your shoes. Embellishments, prints, 1950s, '60s and '80s fashions are all in, as are pastel colours, tussled hair and bright lipsticks.
Most importantly, today's fashion is all about defining the essential styles and mixing them up according to who you want to portray to the outside world. So, we have compiled a list of some items that will suit any fashion trend - no matter how exotic - any time, anywhere.
White business shirt
There is nothing more stylish than a crisp, white shirt. Chic, simple and flattering for every skin tone, the white shirt can be paired with any type of jean - dark wash is universally flattering, but light-coloured, high-waisted denim looks amazing with the white shirt tucked in - a pencil skirt of any shape, or tucked into work trousers. Getting one in cotton is a start, but silk or satin can make anyone feel like a princess.
The it bag
Yes, yes, the phrase may be completely overused by 15-minute celebrities but, honestly, that one amazing bag can really change an entire outfit. Big and shiny or small and slung across your chest, just find one that makes you want to die rather than go without. Chances are, it will have the same effect on others.
An evening dress
Preferably make it sparkly, sleek and below the knees, and you'll fit in anywhere. There is no point in giving more advice than that: the fashion market is absolutely saturated with party dresses, and particularly before the Christmas period. So, go crazy.
Tailored blazer
A tailored blazer is possibly the most versatile item of clothing in the world. It will take you from work to play, and can be used to cover an evening dress, or as part of a two-piece power suit. Usually, playing with the texture (velvet, satin or anything in between), colour (such as silver, white or black), or even the length (such as cropped, three-quarters or longer and tuxedo-like), can change your look. Either way, keep it structured and you can't go wrong.
That perfect pair of jeans
As a general rule, dark-coloured, heavy fabric jeans are more flattering than their lighter counterparts, and should definitely find their way into every woman's wardrobe. However, if you entertain a weakness for light-coloured denim, go for it: the only requirement is that you feel good and comfortable in what you wear. And, really, denim is denim; it will go with anything.
Man's watch
Chunky and classic, a man's watch on a woman's slender wrist is the epitome of chic. Today, even men's watches have variations in size, so if you are truly tiny wristed, go for a smaller make. Still, keep it masculine for that cool appeal.
An evening coat
A light-weight - preferably in silk or satin - full-length coat can go a long way when dressing up for an evening out. If you want something safe, go for silver, black or gold, otherwise, play with colours and textures to stand out. For those who live in colder countries - or states - consider faux-fur for that touch of evening luxury.
Pencil skirt
Never underestimate the allure of this slim-fit, womanly creation. Today's pencil skirts come in so many prints, colours, textures and lengths, it is easy to find one for every woman's shape and height. For the adventurers, why not try something more out there, such as digital prints featuring landscapes and photographs, or eastern influences, such as CUE's pencil skirt in "Mandarin fan".
For those who like a bit of edge, this season's penchant for asymmetrical styles certainly brings a modern edge to the classically cut pencil skirt. Get one in satin or leather, and just watch the street cred come rolling in. Or, if sexy is what you're looking for, why not go with a lingerie-inspired pencil skirt, such as the one featured by the Wheels and Dollbaby collection? Made from luxurious fabrics with panels of lace, velvet bows and silk, the mint-green pencil skirt is extravagant and just amazingly … roar.
Denim shirt
Cut out, patterned, knotted at the midriff or spiked, a denim shirt can be worn tucked into a mini-leather skirt, as a jacket over a white T-shirt or buttoned by to the top flowing over white three-quarter jeans. Of course, there are many more ways to wear denim, but a jean shirt is just universally flattering and needs to be in every woman's - and man's - closet.
Black pump
Preferably in leather - or faux-leather for those more environmentally conscious - the black pump has withstood the test of time as a great pair of heels for both work and play. A great-looking and professional addition to a work outfit - whether it be a skirt suit, pant suit or a pencil skirt and silky blouse - you really can't go wrong with the black pump. Whether they are pointy or round, patent leather, suede or just plain leather, have fun with heel heights and sizes to achieve the perfect look for you.

Woman Found Dead On Cold Monday Morning In Opelousas
Fifty-one-year-old Frances Cunha was found dead behind a fire station by Opelousas Police.
"They observed her lying near the fence line. She was deceased upon the police's arrival," says OPD Sergeant Jody White.
He says a firefighter spotted the deceased homeless woman, who apparently spent Sunday night into Monday morning in sub-freezing temps.
"Apparently, she had been out there through the night, through the cold temperatures and, of course, you know, her body couldn't sustain the cold temperature," White said.
A local funeral home has Cunha's body as they search for one of her relatives.
