Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Santa Fe Chicken Rub
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon packed light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
In a small bowl, combine all the spices and brown sugar. Stir in the olive oil and mix until a crumbly, moist paste forms.
Place the chicken in a single layer in a 9X13-inch or similar size baking pan. Rub the chicken generously with the spice mixture on all sides. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 10 hours.
Grill the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Cut into strips and serve. This chicken is delicious served as-is and is also wonderful served in soft tortillas with taco garnishes.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Coach's Corner Tonight
by Paul on 11/30/13 at 08:05 PM ET
Comments (0)
During tonight's Coach's CornerDon Cherry and Ron MacLean looked at the disallowed Phaneuf goal as compared to the goal by Malkin the other night.
They also reviewed the action between Colton Orr and P.K Subban during the first period of the Toronto/Montreal game.
Then Don said never fight a guy who is in a rage mood and showed the fight between Bieska and Boyle from earlier today.
Next topic was Ovechkin taping his stick.
Cherry also addressed the concussion lawsuit and called it a money grab.
Cherrry says the Rogers deal is great for the players, more money for them.
Don Cherry closed by basically saying to Rogers, don't upset the apple cart, leave good things alone.
I will post the video when available.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- A 30,000-square-foot Chicago area mansion once listed for sale at $25 million sold for $3.1 million in foreclosure, officials say.
The home was sold in November to a bank trust after being on the market since 2009, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
Named the "Villa Taj," the home sat on 3.5 acres in the affluent suburb of Burr Ridge. Completed in 2009, it was notable for its gold Jerusalem limestone exterior and its neo-Byzantine Moorish revival architecture.
The owner, dentist Husam Aldairi, was pushed to sell because of financial difficulties. He dropped the asking price to $13 million in August 2010, but took the house off the market three months later.
The house was vacant in 2011 when pipes burst in second floor bathrooms, flooding the mansion with an estimated 6 million gallons of water and rendering it uninhabitable.
The house was then taken in foreclosure by the lender, which sold the estate to the bank trust.
The identity of the buyer is not known, but Napierville attorney Dennis Lindell confirmed that he represented the family behind the bank trust.

These buckets are great because when they are not in use they are collapsible, and easy to store, and when we do use them, we can carry the Lego toys or any other toys without having to worry about them getting loose. The tops are closed by tightening them, which helps with keeping the contents from falling out. Then with the carry handle, the kids can transport their LEGOs and other toys, very easily. Making the LEGO Cinch Buckets a great gift to put under the tree this holiday season!!
Well to help with that dilemma on taking the LEGOs to go or transporting any toys without having to worry about the kids loosing them, and in style, the wonderful people from LEGO Bags would like to give one of my readers 2 of their own LEGO Cinch Buckets!
Product received, thank you to LEGO Bags and the PR for supplying me with a product for this review, all opinions are my own.

A new policy limiting the weight of homework to 10 percent of a student's grade has been suspended by the Los Angeles schools chief.
Superintendent John Deasy says the homework policy didn't get enough public input and it needs to be revised.
The homework rule, which went into effect July 1 by administrative order, was designed to base most of a student's grade on such things as class assignments, tests and essays.
Deasy says in a news release Wednesday that the rule was well-intentioned, but it lacked input from parents, teachers and the Board of Education.
The Los Angeles Times says the 10 percent cap was designed to ensure student grades were based on knowledge of the subject matter rather than completed homework.

Less is more in 2012 as far as the Westobou Festival is concerned.
Next year's festival will be just five days long, organizers announced at a town hall meeting Tuesday afternoon at the Morris Museum of Art.
The meeting was held for representatives of local arts groups who, for the past four years, have worked with Westobou Festival Inc. to produce the 10-day celebration of visual arts, words, film, music and dance in Augusta.
The shorter festival is just one of the ways Westobou is shifting directions in 2012, said Molly McDowell, Westobou's artistic coordinator.
For the first time, event programming will be solely produced and presented by the Westobou Festival. It's a model based on the success of other arts festivals throughout the region, McDowell said.
"This will create a more cohesive-feeling festival," she said.
In 2008, the Westobou Festival debuted with nearly 200 performances over 10 days. Those were reduced to about 50 in 2011 as the festival focused on quality over quantity.
In 2012, Westobou will present five headlining events – one for each night of the festival – and a few programs throughout the day. The festival is scheduled for Oct. 3-7.
The 2011 festival, which ended Oct. 8, generated an estimated $80,000 in visitor spending, according to the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"2011 was the best festival yet," said Shell Berry, the chairman of the Westobou Festival Board of Directors. "We continue to grow and move into directions that are very exciting."
The changes not only give festival organizers more creative control, but also help Westobou become self-sustaining, Berry said.
The festival was conceived in 2005 by the Trustees of the Academy of Richmond County with funding from the Porter Fleming Foundation. Since 2008, hundreds of thousands of dollars, including more than $200,000 in 2011, have been awarded to arts groups through the Porter Fleming Foundation Westobou Festival Awards.
Those same grants won't be offered in 2012, Berry said.
Arts groups can still apply for other funding through the Porter Fleming Foundation, which accepts applications through Jan. 31. Funding through the foundation, however, no longer implies acceptance into the Westobou Festival.
"The link between the Porter Fleming grant and an event that happens during Westobou is no longer there," Berry said.
A select few arts groups could present festival organizers with ideas for Westobou programming, producing a limited partnership. Arts groups are also welcome to produce events in conjunction with the Westobou schedule, even if they're not sanctioned festival events.
"We hope people do that," McDowell said. "We don't want to alienate anyone."
Cindy O'Brien, the executive director of The Art Factory in Augusta, said she hopes the changes have a positive impact on the festival.
"It's a very interesting concept," she said. "I'm excited. I think the festival could use the focus. We'll have to see what happens."
Lauren Virgo, the executive director of the Arts & Heritage Center of North Augusta, said she hopes organizations like hers find new ways to work with Westobou.
"We want to continue to be part of the festival," she said. "We'd like to see North Augusta still involved. It's a lot to take in, but this seems to have worked for other arts festivals. Hopefully, it'll work for Westobou."

Linux Security Auditing Tool (LSAT) is a post install security auditing tool. It is modular in design, so new features can be added quickly. It checks many system configurations and local network settings on the system for common security/config errors and for packages that are not needed. It has been tested on Linux (Gentoo, Red Hat, Debian, etc.) and Solaris (SunOS 2.x).
Re: Thorough program
Thanks for the input. The securitylinks.txt file has been
updated to reflect this, and also the output of
LSAT has been changed to make note of this. It should also be more careful about system account checks now. Additionally, the httpd checking error should be resolved. These notes apply to lsat-0.6.7.

Hydrocele is a condition where clear fluid accumulates in the scrotum. It is commonly noticed in male infants, though hydrocele may also develop in adult males due to a number of causes including trauma. Physical examination and ultrasound tests are necessary to confirm the diagnosis of hydrocele. In most cases, the condition corrects itself. If it does not, then you have the option of surgery or needle aspiration. Alternatively, you can try ayurveda or other traditional medicine to take care of your hydrocele.
One in ten male infants has hydrocele at the time of their birth. This is a condition where clear fluid accumulates in the scrotum. The testis is covered with a thin membrane called the tunica vaginalis. The testis is formed in the abdomen and then it descends to the scrotum. After the descent is complete, the gap between the abdominal cavity and the testis fuses shut and the excess fluid dries up. However, for babies who have hydrocele, the gap does not close properly and fluid continues to drain to the scrotal area. Even if it does close, the excess fluid is not absorbed. This condition is known as hydrocele.
Tests for hydrocele
In order to determine whether a baby has hydrocele, you need to watch the scrotum area. If it appears full of liquid, then the baby probably has hydrocele. The doctor performs a physical examination to determine whether fluid is present. In some cases, if light is shone on the scrotum, the clear fluid filled sac can be seen. If tissues are also seen, then an ultrasound may be necessary.
Conventional treatments of hydrocele
Before knowing about treatment options, you should know that in case of most infants, hydrocele is a self correcting phenomenon. It goes away by itself by the time the baby is one year old. You should of course consult your doctor as soon as you think you can detect hydrocele. In cases of simple hydrocele, where gap has closed but the fluid has not dried, you will mostly be advised to wait for a year before seeking other treatments.
If the problem persists or if hydrocele is caused in adult males and it does not disappear by itself within six months, the following treatment options can be explored:
- Surgery for hydrocele
If hydrocele persists or begins to cause discomfort, it may have to be removed. In that case, surgery is recommended. An incision is made in the scrotum or in the lower abdomen. The hydrocele is then removed. If you have inguinal hernia or communicating hydrocele or both, hydrocelectomy or surgical removal is the only remedy.
The operation is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia. It is not a major procedure. However, you will have to wear a dressing on the region. In some cases, you may be given a drainage tube for a few days. A scrotal support is recommended for a few days after surgery. You can apply ice pack to the scrotum to reduce swelling and discomfort.
The possible risks include injury to the scrotum, risk of infection and blood clots.
- Needle aspiration for hydrocele
If surgery cannot be performed for any reason, then the other viable option is needle aspiration. The fluid is drained out with the help of a needle. Then, a hardening drug may be injected to prevent the re accumulation of fluid.
Associated risks include pain in the scrotum and risk of infection.
Ayurvedic treatment for hydrocele
There are simple ayurvedic remedies available for most physical conditions and hydrocele is no exception. The advantage is that in most cases hydrocele corrects itself. So, ayurvedic medicines are required only to stimulate this self correction process.
Take equal quantities of dry powder of the following ingredients easily found in most ayurveda store:
- Black myrobylan (haritaki)
- Roasted long pepper
- Rock salt
The mixture should be wetted with little water and made into pea sized globules. One globule half an hour before food, thrice daily for 45 days is the recommended dosage for hydrocele to heal itself.

A New Jersey police officer is accused of firebombing a police captain's home where the captain was inside with his wife, two children and elderly mother, prosecutors said.
Officer Michael A. Dotro, 36, was arrested at his home in Manalapan Thursday. He faces charges of attempted murder and aggravated arson.
Prosecutors said Dotro, who worked with Captain Mark Anderko in the Edison Police Department, intentionally set fire to Anderko's home in Monroe Township at about 4 a.m. Monday. The blaze was extinguished within about 15 minutes but heavily damaged the two-story colonial.
Anderko was inside the house at the time with his wife, two children and 92-year-old mother, prosecutors said. The children's bedrooms were in front of the house, their windows inches away from where the aluminum siding melted from the heat of the flames.
Neighbor Haarika Reddy said the smoke detector couldn't pick up on the fire immediately, but the family dog sensed the flames and woke Anderko's wife, who in turn alerted the rest of the family.
No one was hurt.
Dotro, who has been an Edison police officer for nine years, was suspended from his job with pay. Bail has been set at $5 million.
Lawrence Bitterman, the attorney for Dotro, told NBC 4 New York it was "completely incomprehensible that Mike would be capable of something like this."
Officials did not disclose a motive.
Anderko, who has been on the Edison police force for 24 years, is one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed by another captain in the department, which has been embroiled in controversy for decades and internal lawsuits for the last several years.
The Star-Ledger reported in December that the Edison Police Department's internal affairs unit is accused of failing to pursue officers accused of brutality, and had collected information on civilians and politicians. Dotro, according to the Star-Ledger, was the subject of some brutality complaints.
Both the Middlesex County prosecutor's office and the state attorney general's office, who have been investigating the Edison Police Department, are looking into the arson.
Capt. Bruce Polkowitz, the president of the local police union, said Wednesday he was stunned by the attack on Anderko's home.
"It's unprecedented. I've never heard of anything like this, an attack on a police officer," he said. "Mark is a genuinely good person, a great family man. This whole police department, from a union point of view, we're doing whatever we can to help him out. I spoke to him yesterday, he's as good as can be expected. Our hearts go out to him."

The Spaniard was neck and neck with training partner Richard Murray heading into the final 100 metres of the five-kilometre sprint.
But it was Mola who dug deepest to hold off the South African and claim the win in a time of 49 minutes and 46 seconds.
Joao Pereira completed the podium, the Portuguese collecting his first World Triathlon Series medal by outsprinting two-time world champion Alastair Brownlee, who finished fourth ahead of brother Jonathan and series leader Javier Gomez, who were fifth and sixth.
Mola had been back in the pack during the swim and on the bike, but he came to the front as part on an eight-man group, which included Alistair Brownlee and Gomez, at the start of the run.
Alistair Brownlee and Gomez then formed a group that tried to break from the field.
Murray was the first to claw back the leaders, but it was Mola who executed his gameplan to perfection, and in doing so became the first man outside of Alistair Brownlee or Gomez to win a World Triathlon Series race in London.
For Gomez, his sixth-placed finish sees the best winning run in the Series' history come to an end, but he still maintains the lead at the top of the rankings.
In the women's race, Gwen Jorgensen headed an American one-two ahead of Sarah Groff, and now moves ahead of Britain's Jodie Stimpson in the overall rankings.
Jorgensen finished 28 seconds ahead of her compatriot in a dominant display, which comes just two weeks after her win in Yokohama, while she also erased painful memories of 2013 where a crash on the bike at the same venue ended her hopes of claiming the World Championship title.
Australia's Emma Jackson was third, while Stimpson finished a disappointing 11th.

Kauffman Report: It Takes Decades to Build a Startup Hub
The Kauffman Foundation caused a stir in economic-development circles last month with a report showing that high-tech startups are more evenly spread across the United States than many people assume.
When researcher Ian Hathaway, an economic advisor with the advocacy group Engine, ranked metropolitan areas in terms of their per-capita density of high-tech startups, his top-25 list included a number of seemingly surprising names like Boulder, Fort Collins, Loveland, Colorado Springs, and Grand Junction in Colorado; Cheyenne in Wyoming; Corvallis and Bend in Oregon; Huntsville in Alabama; and Provo and Orem in Utah. (See map, above right.)
Blogs and newspapers in cities from Burlington to Cheyenne to Dover to Sioux Falls trumpeted the findings as proof that traditional high-tech hubs like Silicon Valley, Boston, and Seattle don't have a lock on startup activity, and that it's possible for smaller cities to come from behind and build their own thriving startup ecosystems.
Not so fast, says a second report from the Kauffman Foundation.
Dane Stangler, director of research and policy at the Kansas City, MO-based foundation, says that when he dug deeper into the data in the appendices of his colleague's paper, he found that most of the cities being portrayed in news reports as novel startup hubs actually have a long history of high-tech industrial activity and a strong culture of entrepreneurship. The foundation released his follow-up article on the subject, "Path-Dependent Startup Hubs," last week.
"Some of the coverage of Ian's paper really annoyed me," Stangler tells Xconomy. "Ian's paper was a really good starting point, but one thing it didn't show was a comparison over time between cities, and by size class. If you look at these 'new' startup places, a lot of them were already there in 1990."
In particular, many commentators marveled over Hathaway's data on Boulder, which boasts the nation's highest per-capita density of high-tech startups. It's 6.3 times greater than the national average, outpacing even the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metropolitan area (aka Silicon Valley), where startup density is only 2.6 times the national average.
Most media reports attribute Boulder's prominence as a startup hub to the arrival of venture firm Foundry Group and the creation of Techstars, a startup boot camp, both in 2006. But when Stangler compared regional high-tech rankings from 1990 and 2010, the lists were strikingly similar. Among small- to mid-sized metropolitan areas, Boulder was already ranked first in the nation in 1990, likely thanks to the presence of high-tech institutions like the University of Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and the National Institute of Standards & Technology, as well as the legacy of 1970s-era anchor companies like IBM and StorageTek.
"What you never hear people says is, 'Yes, Boulder's great, but it was also great 25 years ago,'" Stangler says.
In fact, it's not Techstars that's boosting Boulder, Stangler suggests—it's probably the other way around. The presence of startup accelerators and other entrepreneurship programs "is less a cause of startup activity than an indication of the underlying strength of the region and a base of talent that these regions can build on," Stangler wrote in the paper.
Overall, Stangler found that all of the large cities that ranked among the top 10 startup hubs in 2010 were already among the top 20 in 1990. And only one city that was in the top 10 in 1990 had dropped off the top-20 list by 2010 (Houston). "The biggest observation that jumps out," Stangler wrote, "is how much persistence there is across time—at least over this two-decade period."
It's easy to make too much of data that ranks regions by per-capita startup density, Stangler goes on to argue. One difficulty is simply that smaller cities simply have smaller populations—the denominators in density calculations. That means that if just a few new startups come to town, it can change the numerator and create the appearance of a dramatic increase in regional startup density.
Among large metropolitan areas, Stangler points out, the city showing the biggest increase in startup density between 1990 and 2010 was the Kauffman Foundation's hometown, Kansas City. The area showing the biggest decrease was (perhaps surprisingly) Silicon Valley. But in absolute terms, Kansas City still has few tech startups compared to Silicon Valley, and the two cities are unlikely to trade places on the economic stage anytime soon.
Comparing places like Kansas City, Corvallis, OR, or Ames, IA, to San Jose "is kind of like apples and oranges," Stangler says.
The other subtlety obscured by the startup density rankings is what Stangler calls "path dependence." Put plainly, historical accidents count for a lot, and it's hard to build something from nothing.
The seemingly permanent boomtown that is Silicon Valley, for example, was actually more than a century in the making, and might never have coalesced where it did if not for three unrelated facts: 1) Railroad magnate and politician Leland Stanford owned a country estate in Santa Clara County. It became the setting for Stanford University, which was transformed during and after World War II into one of the world's most effective engines for university-industry collaboration. 2) In 1931, the U.S. Navy decided to build a major airfield adjacent to Mountain View and Sunnyvale, providing a nucleation point for dozens of aerospace and defense companies. 3) William Shockley, who co-invented the transistor at Bell Labs in New Jersey, decided to open Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View so that he could live closer to his aging mother in Palo Alto. Shockley's firm was the progenitor of Fairchild Semiconductor, which in turn gave birth to Intel and most of the other companies that put the silicon in Silicon Valley.
Any region hoping to build an analogous high-tech ecosystem faces a chicken-and-egg problem, as Xconomy documented recently in an in-depth series on the startup scene in Santa Cruz, CA. In short: you can't build fast-growing companies without a local talent pool, and it's hard to attract talent without an existing base of high-tech employers.
"Most entrepreneurs, especially in the tech sector, have left an existing high-tech job," Stangler says. "None of these places woke up and said 'We suddenly have a technology sector.' There was always some sort of internal dynamic they were able to capitalize on."
Corvallis, for example, had Nike down the road in Beaverton, OR, and was a short drive from outposts of Intel and Hewlett-Packard. Boise, ID, had Micron. Santa Cruz had Borland Software.
When Stangler plumbed Hathaway's data for common characteristics that might explain how regions achieve high startup densities, he didn't come up with much. Some startup-rich areas have diverse and highly educated populations; others don't. Some regions boast a lot of socioeconomic mobility; others don't. Some are home to top research universities or federal facilities like national laboratories or military bases; others aren't.
The only common thread seems to be what Stangler calls "entrepreneurial genealogy"—a tradition of established companies that train future entrepreneurs and spawn spinoffs.
But he also suspects that policy quirks play a role: Does the local university have a well-oiled technology transfer office? Do local laws allow large companies to enforce non-compete agreements, which are often used to deter former employees from starting companies in related sectors?
"There are so many things that are invisible but important," Stangler says. "It's like the 'dark matter' of the regional economy."

Federalism and the Death Penalty
I thought I would flag an interesting issue from U.S. v. Fell, 571 F.3d 264 (2d Cir. 2009) (denial of rehearing in banc). Two people commit three murders and cross state lines in the process. Federal prosecutors in Vermont (the state that is deemed to be the proper venue for trial) decline to seek the death penalty in part because Vermont does not have the death penalty. The DOJ overrules this decision and orders that the death penalty be pursued. A Vermont jury convicts and sentences the defendants to death.
What are the federalism implications of this case? One thought is that if a state bars capital punishment, federal prosecutors should take that into account when deciding what sentence to seek. They would not, however, be bound to reject capital punishment just because the state does not have it. Another is that the application of the death penalty in a state that does not have it is "unusual" and raises a valid Eighth Amendment claim for anyone who receives that federal sentence. A third idea is that obtaining a "death qualified" jury in a state that opposes capital punishment requires the dismissal of so many jurors that it creates a Sixth Amendment claim. Finally, one might say that all three of these questions depend on the nature of the offense. If somebody assassinates the President or sets off a dirty bomb in a state that lacks capital punishment, few would be troubled if the feds superseded state law. A crime that looks like a garden-variety murder, however, might be a different story.

Five-year study to examine genetic factors in dengue susceptibility
A Canadian research team is launching a 5-year, $10 million study to look for genetic influences on susceptibility to dengue fever, according to a news release from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. The study, financed by the US National Institutes of Health, will be led by Dr. Mark Loeb, professor of pathology and molecular medicine at McMaster. He and his team plan to obtain and analyze 9,000 blood samples from Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Columbia, Thailand, India, and Vietnam, the release says. They will look for any genetic differences between people who had dengue fever, those who had dengue hemorrhagic fever (the more severe form of the disease), and those who had asymptomatic dengue infections. "We will get a blood sample from people who have been infected with dengue and compare them to milder cases, looking for genetic variants—such as vitamin D receptors—which have previously been described as important factors," Loeb said in the release. The statement said dengue is endemic in more than 100 countries and causes an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 deaths per year.

Scientists report developing 'malaria-proof' mosquito
University of Arizona researchers say they have succeeded in genetically modifying mosquitoes so as to make them immune to Plasmodium, the malaria parasite, raising the possibility of someday replacing wild mosquitoes with lab-bred populations that could not transmit it to humans. In a report in PLoS Pathogens and a University of Arizona press release, the scientists say they altered the genome of the Anopheles stephensi mosquito in a way that leads to the constant activity of a signaling enzyme called Akt, which influences several metabolic functions, including larval development, immune response, and lifespan. After the mosquitoes were fed malaria-infected blood, the infection rate was reduced by 60% to 99% among those that carried one copy of the altered gene, and the number of malaria parasites was also reduced. For mosquitoes that carried two copies of the gene, infection was eliminated altogether. The increased Akt activity in the mosquitoes also shortened their lifespan by an average of 18% to 20%. To translate the finding into a successful weapon against malaria, the researchers must meet the difficult challenge of finding a way to give the modified mosquitoes an edge over natural populations so they can eventually displace them, said Mark Riehle, leader of the research team.

The Ledger: Congress Approves Camp Lejeune Relief Act for Water Contamination Ailments
The Ledger: Congress Approves Camp Lejeune Relief Act for Water Contamination Ailments
"Today's vote is long overdue," Ross said in a statement to The Ledger. "No matter the cost, no matter the work, and no matter the time, we must always do right by those who wore the uniform. I hope the president will waste no time in signing this legislation and getting the victims of this egregious contamination the compensation and medical attention they are owed. Let this also serve as a lesson and a warning to the Department of Defense and others that such actions will never be tolerated and they should never be afraid to blow the whistle."
Partain is one of the creators of an activist website, The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten (www.tftptf.com), on which he has posted thousands of pages of documents and a timeline of key events in the water contamination at Camp Lejeune....(read more)

Probably not.
Answered on 4/20/13, 6:31 pm


text: In the countless years of driving a full size pick-up and a 7x12 trailer, I never thought the amount of damage this setup could do in a 10 mph accident. The trailer does not have breaks and a 3500 lbs axle. It had a 48"&36" with blowers,trimmers. Thank God there were no kids in the car I hit. I hit a brand new BMW 325i square in the back. I shot him like a hockey puck. When I slammed my brakes the trailer just kept on pushing . Word of advise, get brakes for your 3500 lbs. trailer. A panic stop, emergency manuver, is not in your arsenal.

Congratulations to the Class of 2011
June 30, 2011
On May 28, 2011, WSC sent forth 38 students to serve as pastors, teachers, missionaries, and leaders for the church and for the world. Since the first class graduated from WSC in 1982, Westminster Seminary California has sent forth nearly 900 alumni. 30 years later, WSC remains committed to the church by equipping students who are faithful to Scripture and to the Reformed confessions.
The Thirtieth Annual Commencement was held on May 28, 2011. Our speaker was W. Robert Godfrey, President and Professor of Church History. The commencement address entitled "Those Who Are Taught" from Isaiah 50:1-10 is now available online (listen to the commencement address).
The Graduation Reception was held on May 27, 2011. The event was an opportunity for students to celebrate with close friends and family, and conclude their time at Westminster Seminary California. Five graduates were chosen to give a reflection of their time at WSC (listen to their messages). Dennis E. Johnson, Professor of Practical Theology, delivered a charge to the graduates (listen to the charge to the graduates). For more photos of the event, click here.BACK

Analytics Class
Exposes read-only data about how an application is performing.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
The Analytics type exposes the following members.
|Gets a factor that reports the total load on the CPU that this process is using, determined across all cores averaged together.
|Gets a factor that reports the total load on the CPU by all processes, determined across all cores averaged together.
|Gets a collection of hashed pseudo unique Base64 string values on a per domain and machine basis.
|Gets a collection of GpuInformation objects which each include details taken from a video driver.
|Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Frees resources used by the Analytics class. (Overrides Object.Finalize().)
|Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
|Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
|Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Analytics are reported by the client host system. Information from Analytics is useful for obtaining driver information from a deployed application client. You can potentially associate Analytics driver-specific or hardware-specific information with particular customer-reported issues in your application. For example, driver information from a customer system is potentially useful data for reported issues involving performance of Silverlight media and display features that depend heavily on underlying hardware and drivers, such as smooth streaming video, adaptive streaming, GPU acceleration, and so on.
To use Analytics and get property values, initialize an instance of the class after your application has loaded all its components.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.

I am now back home on my own computer and I get the audio now. Sounds normal to me.
The gyro should speed up one motor and slow the other in a way that resists "spinning" (rotation around the shaft axis). I just spun mine up in my hand, and then applyed a twist (intentional) the sound is much the same as what you describe as "shaking" that is being caused by the heli. I don't know what to make of that.
I just watched the video a few more times and it appears the rotation begins as soon as the heli gets light even befor liftoff. That is what I would expect to happen if the two motors are performing differently or the proportional adjustment is way off! If that is true then when you spin it up in your hand you should be able to feel it torqueing steadily one direction. Also, the direction would always be the same. But haven't you said the direction of spin is not always the same????
It sounds like both motors are running smoothly (no sudden speed changes) just one is faster than the other? From the silent videos I had judged both motors appeared to spin about the same speed? I am confused. Have you seen any indication that one motor consistantly spins faster? Could you possibly have pinion gears with different numbers of teeth? Could the motors be mismatched?
There are a couple of things I noticed in the video.
1 - The bottom motor connector is plugged backwards compared to my lama.
When I look at the 4 motor wires comming out of the 4in1 of my heli, I see red-black-black-red from top to bottom. On your video, I see red-black-red-black. That would indicate that the rear motor which drives the top rotor is plugged-in backwards (bottom plug). Yet the video shows the top rotor turning counter-clockwise, as it should. I'm confused .
2 - The wire to the rear motor has been rerouted, its not attached in the tie-wrap with the other wires, did you replace the rear motor? Is there a bad or intermittent connection to the motor? that would explain the shaking. Try disconecting one of the motors and spin-up the other motor to see if it cuts-out at higher speeds. Then repeat with the other motor connected.
3 - The LED on your 4in1 seems to be shinning red; it should be shinning green once the 4in1 is armed. Maybe the 4in1 defective.
3 - It looks as if the gyro was out of control and was violently wagging the tail. Did you try to set the gain pot to zero (all the way CCW)? That should disable gyro action. Check the first post on this thread, there is a link to the procedure to trim the 4in1.
Good luck.
Welp after my lama's first flight in many months I'm not to stoked.
The upper drive gear has 3 teeth that are almost gone.
I dont have a tail so the balance is way off(which I was expecting).
How is balancing with the boomtown tail? Is it a perfect match to the old one in wieght? Will it sit properly with the stock L/G? Or will I need there skids too?
Ive never had to replace the drive gear. Is it pretty straight forward? That and the tail are the only parts I dont have.
The Stateline version fits easier, I believe - also lightweight. You may have to adjust the swash a little after fitting.
They both go fine with the landing gear, although I can recommend the "indestructable" Boomtown skids.
The drivegear is easy to replace.
Finally finished most of the custom mods on one of my Lama V4's. Here's a pic and the mods made:
BCX/2 boom and skids
Xtreme blades
LED flybar (made a big difference in flght handling)
Xtreme BCX/2 canopy (Sprint White/Black Spray Tint)
Custom decals (designed and printed myself...used the same "black flame" design as the originals since it was first time on this canopy, added my company logo and some other details)
I have the extended Xtreme inner shaft and bearing housing, and a set of Boca's but not changing all that out until I have to!
It flys as good or better than it did out of the box. Definitely handles better outside though still has problems in a decent breeze. Haven't noticed any difference in flight time but I time my flights anyway and stop.
Modding another V4 with different parts and color scheme...will post when done with it.
Nice job, looks similar and almost as good as my v3 actually got weight down from stock on mine with straw boom no fins, extended flight time of about another minute ish, i'm interested in the improved handling from led flybar, can u be more specific?
Nice work! I like the decals. I still am not sold on the Xtreme look just yet. I like the simple tails like Stateline sells and the basic indestructible landing skids. Less weight = better!

text: Hey, I just thought of something. The same day I installed linux-source-2.6.26, etc., I also changed the device numbers of the minidisks. The old device number range was 200-203, and the new device number range is 210-213. And I didn't re-test the offline / online procedure until AFTER I changed the device numbers. Maybe this is udev related and has nothing to do with the installation of linux-source-2.26.26, etc. After all, udev gave me fits with the virtual NIC after the udev upgrade. --

Tankersley progressing from his injury
Tankersley making progress
The 24-year-old lefty reliever has been recovering from shoulder inflammation, and Tankersley is making strides toward being ready for the 2007 season.
A primary eighth-inning setup reliever, Tankersley will next throw a bullpen on Friday, and if that goes well, he is slated to toss live batting practice on Sunday.
The target date to get him into Grapefruit League competition is March 27.
"I feel I could be ready for [Opening Day], but that's not my decision," Tankersley said.
In terms of throwing the ball, Tankersley said: "I'm not holding back. I trust my arm right now."
The Marlins open the regular season on April 2 against the Nationals in Washington, D.C.
The team has been hopeful to get him about six or seven innings of work before he pitches in a regular-season game.
There is a chance Tankersley could open the season on the disabled list, retroactively, meaning he could be reinstated after a few games.
As a rookie in '06, Tankersley went 2-1 with a 2.85 ERA, appearing in 49 games. He could factor into the closer role as the season progresses.

National Bankshares Inc. (NASDAQ:NKSH) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-06-30.
National Bankshares Inc. has a market cap of $174 million; its shares were traded at around $25.09 with a P/E ratio of 11.4 and P/S ratio of 2.9. The dividend yield of National Bankshares Inc. stocks is 3.5%. National Bankshares Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 7.4% over the past 10 years.
Highlight of Business Operations:Securities declined by $2,833, or 0.95%, from $297,417 at December 31, 2009 to $294,584 at June 30, 2010. Net loans at June 30, 2010 were $575,372, down $7,649, or 1.31%, from $583,021 at December 31, 2009. Deposits grew modestly, from $852,112 at year-end to $859,337 at June 30, 2010, an increase of $7,225, or 0.85%. Total assets were $982,367 at December 31, 2009 and were $994,875 at June 30, 2010, an increase of $12,508, or 1.27%.
Loans past due 90 days or more declined to $389 at June 30, 2010, from $1,697 at December 31, 2009 and $1,746 at June 30, 2009. The decline is the result of loans being charged-off or placed on nonaccrual status. Collateral that previously secured some charged-off loans is now in other real estate owned because of foreclosure or deeds in lieu of foreclosure. The total of other real estate owned grew to $3,170 at June 30, 2010, from $2,126 at December 31, 2009 and $1,869 at June 30, 2009. Because of the level of nonperforming loans, it is likely that the total of other real estate owned will increase in the last six months of 2010, as the real estate collateral associated with some of these loans is acquired in foreclosure. It is not possible to accurately predict the future total of other real estate owned, because property sold at foreclosure may be acquired by third parties and NBB s other real estate owned properties are regularly marketed and sold.
Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $1,486 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This is a 9.45% decrease of $155, when compared with the same period in 2009. The decline was in large part the result of a decrease of $152 in fees from checking account overdrafts and fees for checks returned for insufficient funds.
Credit card fees for the first six months of 2010 were $1,426. This was an increase of $89, or 6.66%, when compared with the $1,337 total reported for the same period last year. The increase was due to a higher volume of merchant transaction fees and credit card fees. Management anticipates that this category of noninterest income may be negatively affected by provisions included in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This recent legislation directs the Federal Reserve Bank to control the level of merchant fees. It is not yet known how greatly the legislation may impact the level of credit card fees or when that impact will occur.
Other income includes income that cannot be classified in another category. Some examples include net gains from the sales of fixed assets, rent from foreclosed properties and revenue from investment and insurance sales. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $143. This represents a decrease of $42, or 22.70%, when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease came primarily from a decline in investment commissions of $24 and insurance commissions of $7 in the Company s financial services affiliate. These areas fluctuate with market conditions and because of competitive factors.
Salary and benefits expense decreased $115, or 2.04%, from $5,625 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $5,510 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decline is the result of the Company s efforts to control salary costs and an adjustment in the periodic accrual for the Company s salary continuation plan. This accrual may fluctuate because of changes in the number of plan participants and the performance of bank owned life insurance that is used to fund the plan. There was also an increase of $78 in net periodic pension expense associated with the Company s defined benefit pension plan. Net periodic expense varies because of changes in the number of plan participants, the age of participants, the investment performance of the plan trust and the interest rate environment.

Big Brother 15's debut and new twist attracted far fewer viewers than last summer, as only 6.51 million people watched the episode. It earned a 2.2 rating among viewers 18 to 49, compared to a 2.6 last summer, down 15 percent. Its all-time low was in the summer of 2008, a 2.1.
In its timeslot, the show tied Fox's Masterchef, but was watched by more viewers, and the 9 p.m. hour of the Fox show outrated the CBS series at 8 p.m.
For what it's worth, CBS' press release noted that in its timeslot, the show "was first in viewers (6.31m), adults 25-54 (2.5/08, tie with FOX) and adults 18-49 (2.1/07, tie with FOX)," and "the night's #1 broadcast in viewers." The show debuted on a Thursday last July, so CBS compared this episode not to the debut, but "to last year's Wednesday premiere (on July 18, 2012), Big Brother was up +5% in adults 18-49 (from 2.0/07), even in adults 25-54 and added +530,000 viewers (from 5.78m, +9%)."
While these lower ratings could be seen as a referendum on a show that stubbornly refuses to change–it's 2013 and it's still in SD; even with the addition of a new twist, the editing is identical to every other season–I see it as potentially bad news, because last summer's debut featured returnees. Even if there are other reasons for the year-to-year drop, I can see this being used as an argument for always bringing back people, because all-star seasons tend to draw more viewers, since the cast is familiar to viewers.
