Wurm leads Big River Conference golfers
Defending Big Rivers Conference Player of the Year Cassie Wurm of Hudson moved closer to earning her second straight POY honor by finishing second at a BRC mini meet Monday at Hillcrest Golf and Country Club in Eau Claire.
Wurm had won three straight BRC meets before Monday's second place finish. With one regular season meet remaining this Thursday, Sept. 15, at Turtleback Golf Course in Rice Lake, Wurm holds a six-point lead over River Falls' Hale Hauer in the individual conference standings.
The BRC Tournament is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 21, at the Hudson Golf Club.
Wurm carded a score of 43 Monday at Hillcrest to tie River Falls' Kacey Simone for second place. Hauer took first with an even-par score of 36.
River Falls took first place with a total score of 172 to open up a six-point lead in the regular season conference team standings. Hudson, aided by a fifth place score of 45 from Jill Wanner, was second with 183 and is in third place in the conference standings, one point behind Rice Lake.
Last Tuesday Wurm fired a 38 at Mill Run Country Club in Eau Claire to win her third straight BRC mini meet.
Wanner added a score of 48 and Alex Nelson finished with a 53 while Hayley Uzpen had 54. The Raiders finished fourth with a team score of 193.

An environmental group is asking state officials to stop diverting water from the Eel River to the Russian River in Mendocino County, saying it is destroying fish habitats.
Friends of the Eel River has filed a petition with the state Water Resources Control Board asking it to end the diversion for the sake of fish habitats in both rivers.
Eel River water is diverted from a dam on the river. It flows down a tunnel to electricity-generating turbines at a Pacific Gas and Electric power plant in Potter Valley and then into a series of irrigation canals and Lake Mendocino. The latter feeds the Russian River.
Prior to the diversion, a century ago, the Russian River dried up in summer months.
Friends of the Eel River says a new study shows the diversion has allowed unsustainable vineyards to populate the Russian River valley.

Rajwrote a review of Vasque St. Elias GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's on August 24, 2014
Torture to break in
Familiarity: I've used it several times
This year it was time to replace my old Vasque backpacking boots which had performed exceptionally well through 4 years of abuse: bush whacking, boulder hopping and rock scrambles.
Being Vasque fan, I bought these St Elias GTX boots just before summer to give enough time to break in. I did ~40 miles in them, may be not enough. But every time I hiked in them it was a death march. At the end of hikes my feet were blistered. I did not want to hike another mile in them. Returned.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has announced that Dr. Merrill Skolnik is the first recipient of its new Dennis J. Picard Medal for Radar Technologies and Applications. Dr. Skolnik served as Superintendent of the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL's) Radar Division from 1965 until his retirement in 1996. The citation for the medal states that he is recognized "For outstanding leadership of Navy radar research, authorship of widely used books on radar, and personal contributions to the advancement of radar technologies and systems." He will receive his award at a ceremony on June 24, to be held at Vancouver, BC, Canada, during the 2000 IEEE Honors Ceremony.
The IEEE Picard award is sponsored by the Raytheon Company, and is named for the chairman and chief executive officer of the Raytheon Company, Mr. Dennis J. Picard.
Among the many new radar technology
developments accomplished by NRL's Radar Division under Dr. Skolnik's
supervision was the first successful development of HF over-the-horizon
radar for the U.S. Navy and Air Force; new concepts for shipboard
air-surveillance radar including the ECCM-capable radar called
"Senrad;" the introduction of the AN/SPS-49 air-surveillance
radar into the fleet;
practical counter-stealth techniques for ship-air defense; improvements in combat identification including identification friend or foe (IFF), the pioneering application of inverse synthetic aperture radar (SAR) used in naval aircraft for ship recognition at long range, and the use of jet engine modulation for aircraft recognition; radar cross section prediction and the first multi-frequency dynamic radar cross section ships; spaceborne radar concepts for world-wide ocean surveillance; low probability of intercept radar; high resolution radar for periscope detection; adaptive processing that made practical the sidelobe canceler for countering hostile jamming signals and which led to its application to airborne early warning (AEW) radar in the form of space-time adaptive processing; new ship self-defense radar system concepts and technology; and increased understanding of the nature of the radar echo from the sea.
Dr. Skolnik is known to the world-wide radar community as the author of the highly popular text Introduction to Radar Systems and as editor of the Radar Handbook. Before joining NRL he was with the Institute for Defense Analysis, Research Division of Electronic Communication Inc., MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Sylvania Boston Engineering Laboratory, and the Johns Hopkins Radiation Laboratory. In addition to radar, he was involved in these organizations with ballistic missile defense, electronic warfare, proximity fuzes, and phased array radar including self-focusing array antennas.
In addition to the Picard Medal, Dr. Solnik has received the IEEE Harry Diamond Award, the IEEE Centennial Medal, and the IEEE Fellow Award. He has served as editor of the Proceedings of the IEEE and as a member and former chairman of the IEEE Radar Systems Panel. He received the Johns Hopkins Distinguished Alumnus Award and is a member of the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars. Dr. Skolnik also received the Institute of Electronic and Radio Engineers (UK) Heinrich Hertz Premium and the Navy Distinguished Civilian Service Award. In 1986, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.

Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad for Mac Mini?
I just got a Mac Mini, after leaving the Apple Store, I realized I needed a keyboard and a mouse, I got the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, but I cant't decide to get a Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad, or should I get both?
- Asked by Alex C from Palm Harbor
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Go for the mouse i think. It actually has a lot of trackpad features, such as tap to click, and scrolling by swiping, as well as multi-touch gestures. So the mouse has both mouse and trackpad features whereas the trackpad only has trackpad features.
But ultimately, it's up to you. If you really can't decide then head in to an apple store and try them both out! The trackpad IS nice to be fair... very spacious, attractive design... But in regards to functionality the mouse is probably better.

Kennedy leaves Padres shaking heads
Righty draws key walk, then shuts down San Diego lineup
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
But his work at the plate in the second inning played almost as crucial a role in Arizona's 11-5 win -- the D-backs' first victory at PETCO Park in nine tries this year.
"It's almost the only thing I'd take back," Padres starter Kevin Correia said of his battle in the second inning with Kennedy.
Correia easily retired the first two batters of the inning before Gerardo Parra singled to left. That brought up Kennedy, and Correia jumped ahead of him 0-2.
"He got me 0-2 pretty quick," Kennedy said. "I know as a pitcher, it's frustrating when you walk a pitcher. I tried to make it really hard on him and draw as many pitches as I could."
But Correia did walk Kennedy, which brought Stephen Drew to the plate.
Frustrated from the walk, Correia threw a first-pitch strike and Drew was ready for it, driving it over the wall in the right for a three-run homer and a 4-0 Arizona lead.
"You can't walk the pitcher in that spot," Correia lamented. "It really changed the game."
Said Drew, "It was coming in and I just got the bat head out on it. I was just trying to get a pitch out over that I could hit. I put a pretty good swing on it."
Drew's been putting a lot of good swings together these days, particularly in this three-game series against the Padres. In the past three games, Drew went 7-for-13 with three homers, four doubles and six RBIs. The numbers would be impressive no matter where they happened, but considering he did it at pitcher-friendly PETCO Park made them more remarkable.
"He made it look like a hitter's park this series," Kennedy said.
So Drew was asked, is PETCO Park a hitter's paradise these days?
"No sir," he said. "It's just one of those [three] games. It was pretty neat. This park obviously has played big, it's still going to play big. It's just one of those things that was meant to happen. I saw the ball really good yesterday and I saw the ball good today."
The D-backs broke the game open in the fourth with five runs, three of which came on Chris Young's bases-loaded double. The hit gave Arizona a 9-0 lead and Kennedy cruised from there.
"It lets you pound the strike zone and let them get themselves out," Kennedy said. "When the offense comes through, it makes it easier on you. When you have that lead early on, you just want to get ahead of guys and try not to give them a chance to come back."
The only hit against Kennedy (8-9) came with two outs in the fourth, but he walked a pair of hitters in the first inning while struggling to find his release point.
Kennedy finally exited after seven innings and 105 pitches, having struck out a career-high 12 batters.
In three starts against the Padres this season, Kennedy is 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA and has struck out 27 while walking five.
"They guy who pitched against us has been tough on us, going back to Spring Training in Tucson," Padres manager Bud Black said. "We saw a lot of 3-2 changeups, even deep in the game."
In his last start, Kennedy labored to get through five innings, and afterward catcher Miguel Montero ripped him for shaking him off so much. The pair talked out their differences over the weekend and the change was noticeable.
"I don't think I shook twice," Kennedy said.
"I think we have to fight a little bit more often," Montero joked. "He was amazing. He made a good pitch when he needed to. He was executing, kept the ball down and had good location. Today was fun. He was quick, we worked together, we talked about [a game plan] before the game and went out and executed it."

- December 13 down the years
Curtain finally falls on Spygate scandalWhat happened on December 13 in Formula One history?
- Drivers:
- Murray Walker
The curtain finally fell on the Spygate scandal with McLaren's unreserved apology to the FIA and Ferrari. In a grovelling letter, McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh expressed his team's "sincere regret" adding it "apologised wholeheartedly" to the FIA for the embarrassment caused. The letter satisfied FIA president Max Mosley, who asked WMSC members, "in light of McLaren's public apology and undertakings" and "in the interests of the sport, to consider this matter closed". McLaren had been fined £50 million and stripped of all constructors' 2007 points for being in unauthorised possession of confidential Ferrari information.
The FIA announced that the BBC had lost the rights to show F1 - the deal had been won by ITV. Shock waves hit the nation, but it was not the channel change people objected to but the potential loss of commentator Murray Walker. The Daily Mirror set up a hot line for people to call in order to "Save our Murray" - unbeknown to fans Walker had actually signed up to transfer to ITV but was sworn to secrecy. The BBC, meanwhile, learned they had lost the rights when it appeared in a newspaper. "It came completely out of the blue," said one insider. "We had no knowledge that the negotiations were even under way."
Nigel Mansell was named the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year on the back of winning the drivers' championship. While Mansell was receiving his award, Williams announced his place would be taken by Damon Hill , the relatively unknown son of former champion Graham . Hill finally convinced Williams he was the right man for the job after a brilliant testing session in Portugal where he outpaced Alain Prost . "I understand why people will see this as a controversial choice," Hill said. "It is a very brave decision from the Williams team. But I know motor racing, if not Formula One, and I know the car very well indeed. I've always been told how my father did this or that. I have always put him on a large pedestal. I am very proud to be in a competitive car in Formula One. I feel fulfilled to some degree."
Brian McGuire was born in Melbourne, Australia. He failed to qualify for the 1977 British Grand Prix in a modified Williams FW04 which he ran as a McGuire BM1. He was killed, in the same car, while practicing for the Shellsport G8 championship race at Brands Hatch in August of the same year.
American driver Bill Vukovich was born in Fresno, California. He competed in the Indianapolis Grand Prix five times between 1951 and 1955. He won the race in 1953 and 1954, but was killed in the pursuit of a third win in 1955. At the time of the fiery crash he was leading the race by 17 seconds.

· New regulations | New insurance industry regulations would prohibit insurers from rejecting customers based on pre-existing conditions. The regulations would also prohibit annual or lifetime caps on benefits.
· Insurance exchange | The bill would set up a new national health insurance exchange, a marketplace where individuals who do not have employer-sponsored insurance would be able to shop for plans. The exchange would also be open to small businesses, and more would be able to join each year. Companies with 25 or fewer employees would be able to join in 2013, companies with 50 or fewer employees could join in 2014, and companies with fewer than 100 employees could join by 2015.
· Public insurance option | The health insurance exchange would include a government-run public plan. Federal officials would negotiate payment rates with doctors and hospitals that accept the plan.
· Employer mandate | Employers with annual payrolls greater than $500,000 would be required to either provide health insurance for their employees, or contribute 8 percent of their payroll to a federal fund to help subsidize employees who purchase coverage through the exchange. Employers with payrolls less than $500,000 would be exempt from the mandate.
· Individual mandate | Individuals will be required to purchase health insurance, or pay a penalty fee. Some people would be eligible to apply for a hardship waiver.
· Medicaid expansion | Medicaid would be expanded to cover everyone whose income is below 150 percent of the poverty line, or about $33,000 per year for a family of four.
· Affordability subsidies | People who earn between 150 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level would be eligible for subsidies on a sliding scale to purchase insurance through the exchange. Those subsidies would ensure that people who make 150 percent of the poverty level would not have to pay more than 3 percent of their income in premiums, while those who make 400 percent of the poverty level could pay up to 12 percent of their income in premiums.
· Out-of-pocket expenses caps | New regulations would cap yearly out-of-pocket medical expenses for individuals at $5,000 and families at $10,000. Those who earn less than 400 percent of the poverty level would have lower caps, on a sliding scale.
· Tax surcharge | The bill would help pay for itself by imposing a 5.4 percent tax surcharge on individuals earning more than $500,000 per year and families earning more than $1 million.
· End-of-life counseling | The bill retains a controversial provision that allows Medicare to pay for voluntary end-of-life counseling.

August <I>CMM</I>: Gaining A Competitive Edge
August 18, 2009
The August issue of Cleaning & Maintenance Management® magazine is now available online, featuring William Griffin''s "Gaining A Competitive Edge" cover story.
Griffin states that to survive, or better yet to thrive, in a marketplace that is developing, you must pay close attention to the details of operating every aspect of your business as efficiently as possible.
He notes that you must firmly believe that you know what you are doing and are making the right decisions, even when you can''t prove it and when others question your actions — and your sanity.
Griffin adds that if you want a price increase, reduce your labor costs internally instead of asking the customer for more money.
According to Griffin, proactive in-house cleaning employees and building service contractors attend trade shows, seminars, webinars and other educational events to stay on top of what''s happening today and where things will be going tomorrow.
William Griffin is the president of Cleaning Consultant Services Inc. For more information, please visit www.cleaningconsultants.com.

Move your hand around the front panel (especially in front of the keypad) and see if it increases and decreases in strength. For my rig, it was some bypassing that was needed to lower the noise, Ten Tec did a pretty good job of re routing wires behind the keypad and bypassing some lines. I found that there are some "hot" sections on the digital board (open the cover and move your finger near some of the componenents to hear the noise come and go). One day, I might construct a plate or two to cover the board and shield it better. There is someone out there who did some better grounding to the board and put some toroids on the wiring coming in and out of the compartment there (and there are pictures on the website showing the work) ... this might be a solution, too. Look around for that, if you don't find it, I know I have a reference to it somewhere. Clark WA3JPG

Seems appropriate that I noticed this on talk like a pirate day!
Remember the lump on Pirate's side that we can't remove? It's been growing a bit in the last couple weeks. Nothing major just slowly getting a bit bigger. Last Sunday she somehow managed to rip it open. It was DISGUSTING, blood and puss everywhere. I've dealt with lots of wounds, blood, infections ect over the past 10 years, but this one actually made me nauseas. Pirate seemed unbothered by any of it!
I debated taking her to the vet, but really what's he gonna do....she can't handle even light sedation to take it out or stitch it up. I have antibiotics at home so I've tossing those in with her dinner. Her dinner bowl is very colorful--orange, pick and white pills in with her kibble!
Today I checked her side before I left for work. It's almost flat!!!!! It's certainly not normal skin, but the vast majority of the lump is gone!!

Sometimes called the "Royal Game" or the "Game of Kings", Chess remains incredibly popular today, is prized for its simple rules yet endless strategic depth.
Here are some books to help you learn about the game of Chess, from expert players. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, there's always something new to discover about this fascinating game we love.
Chess Books
- Chess For Dummies
It was inevitable, thank goodness, that the Dummies series would give us an introductory chess book. The light touch is perfect to offset the sober aura of mystery that surrounds the game in many people's minds. And the extras that reach beyond the well-written move explanations, strategies, and pattern-recognition make the book a real winner. It won't take much playing for readers to appreciate the section on chess etiquette, for example, or the one on uncommon moves, subtitled, "The Ones That Start the Fights." Informative tips and amusing bits of trivia add to the fun.
- The Complete Idiot`s Guide to Chess
You're no idiot, of course. You know that chess is perhaps the most enjoyable--and challenging--game in the world. For those who play, chess provides a lifetime of fun. But how do you make the first move to learn the rules--or improve beyond feeling like a pawn? Don't cry checkmate just yet. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess, Third Edition, will guide your every move across the board. Written by U.S. Chess Champion, International Chess Grandmaster, and longtime instructor Patrick Wolff, this book includes information for both novice and expert, including over 400 illustrated chessboards and photos; over 20 pages of detailed answer key notes; a completely new chapter on new evidence about chess and its impact on brain power; a guide to the art of chess collectibles; and more.
- Learn Chess
Starting with the very basics, this book tells you everything you need to know to become a successful chess player. Dr. John Nunn has built up a world-wide reputation for the outstanding clarity of his writings on a wide range of chess topics. This is his first book to tackle the fundamentals of chess. No prior knowledge is presumed. The reader learns step-by-step, with each new point illustrated by clear examples. By the end of the book, the reader will be fully ready to take on opponents across the board, or on the Internet, and start winning. Topics include: the rules of chess, chess notation, how to win material, attacking play, the opening, the middlegame, the endgame and chess psychology.
- Chess for Beginners
In this book, I. A. Horowitz, Chess Editor of the New York Times and former U.S. Open Champion, applies some of the ideas and convictions acquired from thirty-five years of playing, teaching and analyzing the royal game. He emphasizes the tactical aspects of the game: how to recognize the big chance and hit hard when it occurs. He also stresses the ideas and methods in opening play, rather than the routine memorizing of variations that takes the joy out of chess for so many beginners. When you have completed this book, you will be able to play chess with pleasure and some ability.
- Chess for Success
Maurice Ashley immigrated to New York from Jamaica at the age of twelve, only to be confronted with the harsh realities of urban life. But he soon found his inspiration for a better life after stumbling upon a chess book and becoming hypnotized by the game. He would eventually break the chess world's color lines by becoming an International Grandmaster in 1999. Ashley realized that chess strategies could be used as an educational tool to help children avoid the pitfalls often associated with growing up. In this book, he serves up compelling anecdotes about how chess has positively affected young players. He also offers tips on technique, how to make the game fun for children of all ages and levels, and how to overcome the myth that chess isn't cool. Through his guidance, readers will understand how chess strategies can improve a child's mental agility, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Chess for Success is a much-anticipated resource for parents, teachers, counselors, youth workers, and chess lovers.
- Understanding Your Chess
James Rizzitano, an experienced international master, has reassessed games from the whole of his career, and in this book presents the lessons from them that will be most relevant to club and tournament players. A common problem for the typical weekend competitor or club player is that his time available for studying chess is very limited. What should he study? Grandmasters from Botvinnik to Yermolinsky have stressed the importance of reviewing and annotating your own games. Rizzitano shows how by doing that you can gain a greater understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and drawing upon his own experiences, explains how to shape your approach to chess to make the most of your own abilities.
- The Right Way to Play Chess
With remarkable ease and clarity, D. Brine Pritchard explains the modern and internationally approved method of chess to the beginning chess player. In this, the tenth revised edition of the standard work on the subject, Pritchard draws new inspiration from the latest developments in chess, taking the reader through detailed and illustrated explanations of the basic rules and general theories of chess, openings, middle games, end games, and much more.
- The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played
Sixty-two masterly demonstrations of the basic strategies of winning at chess, featuring games by the greatest chess masters -- Capablanca, Tarrasch, Fischer, Alekhine, Lasker, Petrosian among them -- compiled and annotated by one of chess literature's most brilliant authors. Each game selected offers a classic example of a fundamental problem and its best resolution, described and diagramed in the clearest possible manner for players of every level of skill. 146 illustrations.
- Chess Fundamentals
This handbook is packed with timeless advice on different aspects of practical play, and illustrated by Capablanca's own games. This book first appeared in 1921, the year Jose Capablanca captured the world championship title, and has remained a classic ever since.

SAN DIEGO ---- Pitchers and their ability to hit was a major part of Padres' manager Bud Black's pregame meeting with the media on Saturday.
"In the spring we told our pitchers we wanted them to be a factor in the offense," Black said. "We focused a lot on the pitchers and their hitting."
So what happens Saturday night?
Seattle starting pitcher Felix Hernandez, with his first swing of the season, lined a double into the right-field corner in the second inning to score two runs.
It was Hernandez's two-out hit that staked the Mariners to a lead that they turned into a 5-1 win before a crowd of 30,922 at Petco Park.
Hernandez, who has pitched in the American League his entire seven-year career, carried a .125 batting average (3-for-24) into Saturday's game.
He was 1-for-7 last season in interleague play, but had not had an at-bat this season until facing off against Jason Marquis ---- perhaps the Padres' best hitting pitcher.
While Hernandez has just four career hits now, he has seven RBIs, including a grand slam against the Mets in 2008 off Johan Santana.
"Back-to-back nights the pitcher has broken the other pitcher's back," Black said a night after Padres left-hander Clayton Richard drove in three runs for the Padres.
"But this was from a guy you least expected, an American League pitcher. He got a fastball over the plate, was late on it and hit it fair.
"It turned a one-run inning into a three-run inning."
Unfortunately for Marquis and the Padres, Hernandez's hit wasn't the only by blow by the Mariners.
Left fielder Michael Saunders hit a fly ball off the right-field foul pole for a home run with two outs in the third inning.
Dustin Ackley started the Seattle fourth by drawing a walk and stole second. Ichiro Suzuki's two-out single to center scored Ackley. Ichiro later singled in the seventh.
Ichiro, who had three hits Friday and came into Saturday's game hitting .270, has a .326 lifetime average in the major leagues and was hitting .338 (95-for-281) against the Padres.
The Padres opened the scoring in the first inning when Cameron Maybin singled with one out and Chase Headley singled him to third. Maybin scored on a Hernandez balk.
The Padres threatened in the fourth when Carlos Quentin led off with a walk and went to third on Logan Forsythe's one-out single.
But Everth Cabrera's sharp grounder was turned into double play by shortstop Brendan Ryan.
In the seventh, the Padres got singles from Yonder Alonzo and Cabrera, but pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay's liner to second was turned into an inning-ending double play.
"We stressed Felix a couple of times, hit the ball hard, but he got out of it," said Black.
Hernandez (5-5) worked seven innings, allowing just the one first-inning run while striking out 10, including the side in the third and two in the second and sixth.
It was Hernandez's 18th career game with 10 or more strikeouts, second this season and second all-time against the Padres.
In all, the Padres struck out 14 times in the game.
Marquis (1-3) didn't pitch badly for the Padres.
He allowed five runs on six hits over seven innings, but just two of the five runs were earned after Forsythe'e error at second in the second extended the inning, giving Hernandez a chance to hit.

|The Influence of GINkGo Biloba on the Pharmacokinetics of the UGT Substrate raltEgraviR (GINGER)
|Brief Summary
|The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ginkgo biloba (steady state) on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of the UGT-substrate raltegravir. Furthermore the safety profile of the combination is studied.
|Detailed Description
|Ginkgo biloba is an alternative medicine that is popular among HIV-infected patients because if its claimed positive effects on memory, concentration and depression. Alternative medicine can cause drug-drug interactions with regular HIV-medication. Raltegravir is a newly developed HIV integrase inhibitor. It is metabolized in the liver by UGT1A1 and therefore its pharmacokinetic profile can be influenced by inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1. So far there are no data of the potential effect of ginkgo biloba on glucuronidation in vivo. The current study is designed to evaluate the potential inductive effect of ginkgo biloba on the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir and the safety profile when used in combination.

Vauxhall have more than 400 independent retail outlets across the UK. Work for a Vauxhall retailer and you can expect an exciting and rewarding career in a choice of different roles. Opportunities for professional training and development are supported by the GM Academy, and you'll get support from a quality employer, too.
When a customer enters a Vauxhall dealership, they enter the sales department. And it's here where a retailer's knowledgeable, friendly and professional sales consultants work.
As our vehicles become more technically advanced, we need to ensure we have the highest calibre of people selling them to our customers. As well as an in-depth knowledge of our product range, sales consultants need to be able to quickly tune in to what their customers are after, whether they're looking for a new or a used Vauxhall.
In a showroom, customers needing maintenance or service for their Vauxhall will usually be directed to a service reception, again staffed by qualified and experienced people.
In our modern workshops, teams of technicians work closely with a retailer's service advisors to ensure that any Vauxhall needing a service or repair is looked after and back on the road as quickly as possible.
Technicians are titled according to their experience, from service technician, to diagnostic technician and finally senior or master technician. Those new to the trade typically start as an apprentice.
Near the service reception in a Vauxhall showroom you'll usually find the parts department. Here, retail and trade customers can talk to knowledgeable staff to organise replacement parts or approved accessories.
As an apprentice in our Vauxhall Retailer network, you'll be part of a team of like-minded people who successfully qualify year after year. You'll work exclusively on the latest Vauxhall products and receive intensive training through the GM Academy to prepare you for a career in the motor industry.
We offer six apprenticeships, so no matter what type of automotive career you're interested in, we have one for you.
Accountants, administrators, body repair specialists, business managers – they all work for Vauxhall retailers, and there are many other roles available, too. If you're interested in finding out about a position that isn't outlined here, contact your local Vauxhall Retailer.

Surface crop residues lower soil temperatures delaying emergence of corn (Zea mays L.) under no-till tillage systems in the northern Corn Belt. This study evaluates the use of planting depth as a management tool to overcome the disadvantages of cool temperature under residue covered soils. Growth chamber experiments evaluated the effects of planting depths, ranges of soil temperatures, and soil matric potentials on corn emergence. The seeding medium was aggregates of Webster clay loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Typic Haplaquolls). Deep planting (75 mm) delayed emergence from 2.8 to 18 d as the soil temperatures decreased from ranges of 15 to 25 °C and 5 to 15 ° C. Seed zone growing degree days (GDD) needed to achieve 75% emergence increased with an increase in planting depth and a decrease in soil matric potential. Relationships of corn emergence vs. seed zone GDD needed to achieve 75% corn emergence at various planting depths were tested in the field for three planting depths, three tillage and three surface residue conditions during 1984 and 1985. Predicted time to 75% corn emergence was within 2 d of the field-measured values for three planting depths, and seven tillage and surface residue conditions, over two seasons. Simulation studies were conducted to predict the effects of tillage, planting depth, and planting date on the probability of obtaining 75% corn emergence within 14 d of planting. Input data for simulation studies included 10 to 20 yr of daily maximum and minimum air temperatures from Morris, MN and Lexington, KY. Tillage treatments included moldboard plow, no surface residue, and no-till surface residues. Reducing the planting depth from 50 to 25 mm advanced the planting date from 2 d to several weeks, depending on the weather, soil matric potential, and tillage-surface residue conditions. When soil water is nonlimiting, the effect of cooler temperatures on corn emergence under a no-till tillage system (with surface residues) can be compensated for by reducing the planting depth by 25 mm or less from that of average planting depth under conventional tillage systems.

Houston METRO announced that the morning transit services were canceled. Harris County district courts canceled morning jury service. Storms also knocked out power in parts of the city.
About 20 school districts in the area were either closed or had delayed opening.
7 a.m. CDT
After the Houston Rockets won Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, flooding in the area forced hundreds of fans and at least one player to remain at Toyota Center as the heavy rain continued to fall.
Arena officials posted an advisory on the stadium scoreboard advising fans to wait out the storm after the game ended around 11 p.m. Monday. Most left, but about 350 people stayed.
Center Dwight Howard told the Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1cfWueQ ), that he didn't "think it's smart for anybody to try to be out on this weather."
While fans waited into early Tuesday morning, crews did their usual post-event cleanup.
4:30 a.m. CDT

The U.S. Senate is set to vote this week on the Sportsmen's Act of 2012 (S 3525), a 100-page bipartisan measure that has pitted the gun industrys trade association and a major gun-rights organization against each other.
And Sunshine State News has learned that this particular opposition to the bill originated with lawyers close to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
If passed, the Act would make it easier for the federal government to buy land for fish and wildlife preservation, and would improve access to public lands for hunters and anglers. Most of the opposition comes from environmentalist groups, who are upset with the bills codification of the right of hunters to continue using ammunition made with lead.
That provision has earned the Act the support of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), and several conservative senators, including Floridas own Marco Rubio.
But the gun rights organization Gun Owners of America (GOA), which touts itself as "the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington," is vociferously opposing the bill, saying it expands the federal governments eminent domain authority to confiscate private property without the consent of rightful landowners. GOA is urging gun owners to oppose the S 3525, which it has nicknamed the Federal Land Seizure Act.
Our central objection is the National Fish Habitat stuff in Title 2, which specifically creates a 27-member board made up of Obama appointees or people from specific groups chosen by Obama appointees, attorney Mike Hammond, legal counsel for GOA, tells Sunshine State News. That board is authorized to form partnerships with, among other things, outside groups like the [leftist environmental organization] Sierra Club for the development of fish habitats.
The partnerships can involve the acquisition of any property which is either the fish habitat or a buffer adjacent to the fish habitat, or is a property that in some way pollutes the fish habitat. So, if you have a factory 1,000 miles away that is supposedly creating acid rain, it can be seized by the government.
Supporters of the Sportsmen's Act say GOAs concerns are unfounded, citing Section 211(e)(2) of the bill, which provides that [n]othing in this [Act] permits the use of funds made available to carry out this [Act] to acquire real property ... without the written consent of each owner of the real property ...
Hammond says the wording of that section is nothing but a sleazy trick and contains several loopholes.
Ive been in Washington nearly 40 years and have seen a thousand appropriations bills; funds made available to carry out is a term of art that means made available from the federal treasury, Hammond explains. Fifty percent of the Title 2 money comes from nonfederal souces state funds, municipal funds, private groups, or funds raised by charging admissions to fish habitats or for licenses and it imposes no limits whatsoever on the ability to seize land using those funds.
Hammond tells Sunshine State News his organization analyzed the Act after being invited to do so by our friends in the Senate. Sources told the News, on condition of anonymity, that those friends included legal counsel connected to Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
I think those concerns are unfounded; theyre baseless and far-fetched, Patrick Rothwell, director of government relations-federal affairs for NSSF the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry tells the News.
Rothwell says he doesnt believe the Section 221 language means what Hammond says it does, and even if it did, [i]f land were seized by the federal government using state or local government funds, the federal government would still need to spend money on maintenance and to carry out projects and that money is explicitly prohibited from being used under that section.
Its so far-fetched ... I appreciate GOAs concern, I just dont see it.
Rothwell suggested that GOA was straying from its mission in its focus on property rights instead of the interests of gun owners.
I want to point out the irony that Gun Owners of America ignores the section most important to gun-owning Americans, the section relating to the Toxic Substances Control Act, Rothwell opines. This specifically codifies that the Environmental Protection Agency doesnt have authority to regulate trade ammunitions made with lead components. If the EPA were to have the authority to ban such ammunition, the price of ammo would skyrocket, people would not be able to afford it, and money going to conserve projects would plummet.
So, the interests of a few [property owners] are going to outweigh the interests of gun owners in their mind? he asks. Thats completely contrary to what a gun-owning organization should be about.
Hammond says there are other reasons the Act should raise concerns.
These small programs tend to grow into enormous pigsties for liberal interest groups and be interpreted by the courts to go far beyond what their ostensible initial purpose is, he warns. Were convinced that the fish habitat sections are going to be one of these provisions.
Alex Conant, Marco Rubios press secretary, tells Sunshine State News that Floridas Republican senator is supporting the bill.
The senator plans to vote yes on the Sportsmens Act, he said in a statement. The National Rifle Association also supports the final bill, lending the support of millions of gun owners.

Q:I have just ordered a sample of the 1" mini blind in the color oak. I had hoped to get real wood but I'm afraid I don't have enough inside mounting space for them. I currently have box store mini blinds and was able to install those with no problem. But my concern is to order custom without being able to see the installation bracket because although I have enough depth for an inside mount there is only half an inch flat surface to attach the screws. The remainder of the woodwork, older home, is curved wood. I would really like to get a sample bracket so I can look at the position of the screw holes.
A:There are a few options for shallow mount blinds or window frames with minimal mounting space. We have a few options for 1 inch mini blinds. Choose from traditional aluminum blinds or upgrade to one inch real wood blinds. One inch blinds can be mounted inside the window frame with as little as 3/4 of an inch. For flush mount, where the mini blinds are completely within the window frame, you will need at least 2 inches of window frame depth.
Two inch blinds can also be mounted in shallow depth window frames. Most wood blinds can be mounted in as little as an inch and a half of window frame depth. For the wood blinds to be completely inside the window frame you will need about three inches.
If you are concerned about the sides of the brackets showing, for shallow mount wood blinds we can make a custom valance with short returns to cover the bracket sides. For custom valances or special changes to any order simply contact customer service at the time your order is placed. We do not charge for most changes to customization.

I went to Milagro (Queen W) tonight. My second time there and have been to the Mercer St one. Was not a stellar experience. I've had great Mexican food, having lived in LA for a while, returning there often, so I do have a good sense of the cuisine. Tonight was iffy.
Pluses and Minuses:
Reservation - I asked for a different table and was told the one I pointed to was reserved. In my opinion, I was there first and should have had my pick. Never mind
Too dark - I couldn't read the menu and I saw others using their cell phones to read them too, I couldn't see the food, or the bill or the machine they brought me to pay later either
Music too loud - Not easy to talk and the music was monotonous and relentless
No alcohol? - My son ordered a rum and Coke which arrived without alcohol. Since my Mojito was pretty weak we thought 'oh well' until the waiter hurried over with a measure of rum he said had been forgotten
Washroom stairs - oh so dark I was afraid to go down. Accident waiting to happen! Mildewy smelling too
Guacamole - OK but not quite ripe enough - a frequent Toronto mistake - and although I don't use ever use much salt, it could have used a bit more. The chips were a bit heavy/tough and over-fried, not the light pleasant Cali experience
Chicken mole - my son's came garnished with some very mild green chilies. We are both allergic to sweet peppers but have no problem with hot ones. These were mild enough to cause him to spit them out
Mole poblano with enchiladas - not bad. Waiter asked me if I've ever had mole before. I didn't like to say that mole wasn't just one thing. Best to just nod and say yes, I think. But someone in a Mexican restaurant should be a bit better informed...I'm being picky. I brought two of the enchiladas home. No need for three. I wish I could buy just one and perhaps a second different thing with it but Milagro doesn't do combos
Don't think I will bother again. It's OK but not OK enough, not for those prices - $70 for a half guac, two mains and two 'cheap' cocktails

TI beats expectations as sales up 9%
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. Citing strong growth for its digital signal processor (DSP) products, Texas Instruments Inc. reported revenue of $3.239 billion for the second quarter, up 9 percent sequentially and about even with the year-ago quarter.
TI (Dallas, Texas) posted a profit of $628 million, or $0.38 a share, for the quarter, compared to $411 million, or $0.24 a share, in the previous quarter, and $441 million, or $0.25 a share, a year ago.
The company recorded a net benefit of $0.06 from tax-related items. The company beat Wall Street's expectations. It was supposed to earn $0.29 a share, according to analysts.
In Q2, semiconductor revenue of $2.765 billion increased $168 million sequentially, or 6 percent, due to strong growth in demand for the company's analog and DSP products. Compared with a year ago, revenue was about even as higher demand for DSP products offset declines in other product areas.
Operating profit in semiconductors was $594 million, or 21.5 percent of revenue, up $134 million sequentially primarily due to higher gross profit. Compared with a year ago, operating profit increased $68 million due to a combination of lower operating expenses and higher gross profit.
"Our strong growth underscores the importance of DSP and analog to a wide range of electronics equipment," said Rich Templeton, TI president and chief executive, in a statement.
"We're also encouraged that the inventory correction that affected our DLP product revenue in the first half of the year is now complete. DLP revenue grew 10 percent sequentially, and we expect it will contribute to growth again in the third quarter," he said. "High-performance analog turned in another strong quarter with 13 percent sequential growth. DSP revenue grew 8 percent sequentially driven by strong growth in wireless applications. Total revenue from the wireless market increased 8 percent as a result of our leading position in the fast-growing 3G market."
For the third quarter of 2005, TI expects revenue to be $3.290-to-$3.560 billion. Of that, the company's semiconductor sales are projected to be $2.835-to-$3.065 billion.
TI expects EPS to be in the range of $0.31 to $0.35. For 2005, TI continues to expect capital expenditures to be about $1.3 billion.

what exactly did you guys do to get it to boot?
It took me several battery pulls to be able to boot into TWRP.
For a while I wondered if my phone was bricked.
Then after I got into TWRP, I flashed the TWRP zip file to reinstal twrp. Probably wasn't necessary, but I did it just in case it might help.
Couldn't boot 9/6 either.

Mouse going oveer dge of Xinerama screen 1
Hello everyone,
I have set up a dual-monitor system which has one 1280x1024 screen (Xinerama screen 1) to the left of a screen measuring 800x600 (Xinerama screen 2). The bottom edges are aligned, effectively forming something like an L-shaped screen. This setup works as it should, except that should I want to reach the 'X' button in the top left of screen 1, I need to take extreme care not to let my mouse slip over the edge of screen 1, because if it should, then it appears at the top-left of screen 2, which is 480 pixels further down.
It's not a lot of work to move the mouse cursor back up, but it's very annoying. Should I move the cursor off the top edge of screen 2, then it does not move onto screen 1, and I would like the top-part of the rightmost edge of the screen on the left to behave the same way. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Apologies if I haven't explained the situation very well.
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:11 PM.

I'll admit it openly: chia seeds are now in my grocery rotation. After my last happy surprise, I decided to focus this Superfood Sunday on a product I've been interested in for a while.
The goji berry, also known as Lycium barbarum and wolfberry, comes from an Asian shrub found in China, Mongolia, and Tibet. Like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants, they're members of the Solanaceae, or nightshade, family. They have been used for centuries in Asia for medicinal purposes, and herbalists claim they can do anything from protecting the liver to balancing hormones. The goji berry is packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, which protect the eye by absorbing blue light and can decrease the risk of developing macular degeneration with age.
Violently red, they're usually available in dried form, like the ones I found at Whole Foods. In traditional Chinese medicine, they're eaten raw, brewed into tea, or added into soups. Recent years have introduced goji juice as well as other treats like goji trail mixes. Although I was tempted by the bag of chocolate covered goji, I persevered in my pursuit of their purest available form. Goji berries have a taste similar to dried cherries or cranberries, with a combination of sweetness and a tart finish. Tarter than a raisin, and much less plump, they're easy to sprinkle into salads, cereal, or baked goods. If you find yourself with a bag of these berries, try out this recipe:
Banana Goji Muffins
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 Tablespoons ground flax
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 2 Tablespoons applesauce
- 2 very ripe bananas
- round 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 tablespoons (or more!) dried goji berries
- rounded 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mash the bananas well, working out all the lumps.
Mix together all of the ingredients, adding baking soda last. Line muffin pans with liners. Then, fill each muffin with batter to the rim. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your muffin tin. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy, perhaps with some goji juice!
