Preliminary Agreement Reached
December 22 – The family of firefighter Robert Beddia, who died in last year's fire at the Deutsche Bank building, has reached a preliminary agreement to accept a $5 million payment from Bovis Lend Lease, the construction management company. The family will not be barred from taking civil action against Bovis, the City or the John Galt Corporation. The family has said it plans to file a lawsuit to get more answers about what happened and prevent other firefighters from dying under similar circumstances.
Manhattan DA Announces Charges
December 22 – The Manhattan District Attorney announced manslaughter charges against three construction supervisors of the John Galt Corporation in connection with the August 2207 fatal fire at the Deutsche bank building. Mitchel Alvo, Jeffrey Melofchik and Salvatore DePaola were arraigned on charges of second degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment. The indictment alleges the three men directed workers to cut a section of standpipe which was designed to provide water in case of a fire. The investigation by the DA took 16 months. The City of New York was not named in the indictments, although the FDNY and the Department of Buildings were harshly criticized for lapses that led to the deaths of two firefighters. As part of an agreement with the DA's office, the City acknowledged the failures and instituted reforms to prevent it from happening again. It will establish a force within the FDNY to focus solely on inspections on buildings under construction. Bovis Lend Lease, the construction management company overseeing the decontamination/deconstruction of the building also escaped charges. Another panel is hearing evidence about possible fraud involving the Galt Corporation and the LMDC which owns the building.

Fourteen public relations students at the University of Oregon Portland Campus had to think twice about their decision to spend fall term in Portland. The students were chosen from the university's School of Journalism and Communication to complete an internship program accompanied by public relations courses, known as the Senior Experience. At 6 each evening, the doors to the U of O Willamette Block Building at Second and Yamhill locked, leaving students without a place to study or complete projects after school. Their classes required group projects, but with class members living all over the Portland metro area – from Woodburn to Aloha – they found it difficult to find a convenient meeting place. Some students drove 30 minutes across town to meet their groups at a public library.
"It didn't feel like a campus," said Alyssa Carter, a Senior Experience alum. Soon students will no longer have this issue.
At the beginning of spring term 2008, the University of Oregon's Portland Center will leave the Willamette Block Building and move to a larger space in Portland's Old Town, neighboring the Portland Saturday Market and Waterfront Park. Students may even receive key cards to access the buildings after school hours.
According to the university Web site, "Three historic buildings consisting of about 100,000 square feet – the Bickel Block Building, the Skidmore Block Building, and the White Stag and Hirsch-Weiss Building – will form the new White Stag Block that will house the University of Oregon's Portland programs. The university has signed an 18-year lease, with an option to buy at the eighth year, for the building and portions of the two other historic buildings also situated on the White Stag Block."
The three-year renovation project is expected to cost $35 million, more than the project is worth, reported KGW. The White Stag Block will be completed with sustainability in mind. KGW reported that 95 percent of materials within the building will be reused, and a 10,000-gallon underground tank will harvest rainwater, recycling back into the toilet systems, reducing 85 percent of water use.
The University of Oregon has had a presence in Portland for over 25 years. It started with the architecture and allied arts programs, and eventually journalism and law programs were offered there as well. After 25 years the University of Oregon is ready to make a greater commitment to Portland through the White Stag Block, said Al Stavitsky, associate dean of the School of Journalism and Communication.
With the new Portland Center, the university will be able to host lectures, exhibits and other public events. The university Web site says, "The center will include six classrooms, new event space for up to 250 people, a new library for architecture and journalism programs, a shared computer laboratory, and a new university book store and Duck Shop, which will also feature a café."
The library was only expected to be 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, but ended up at 6,000 square feet to allow more room for students to work on projects together, reported the Oregonian in "UO-Portland a Study in Growth." The journalism school alone will have four times as much space, increasing to 6,000 square feet from 1,500 square feet. Seventy-five to 100 employees will have administrative offices in the building. The White Stag Block will offer so much space that the university does not know what to do with all of it yet. "This expansion will allow us to do things we could never do before," said Stavitsky.
The Journalism school started the Senior Experience for Public Relations majors two years ago. For the first time this spring two advertising students will enter the program. "We planned from the start to offer a Senior Experience for as many SOJC students as possible. We started with one sequence (public relations) since we knew that numerous internships would be available. We will offer the program to students from other sequences each term as we move forward. We will adjust courses as necessary as we add more students from other sequences to the program, and we've been planning for that all along. It's uncertain whether the programs will eventually merge, or remain separate independent programs," said Kim Sheehan, an associate professor of the journalism school.
Currently there are seventy-five graduate and undergraduate architecture students studying and working in Portland. The university Web site says there are plans to hire new faculty, allowing more students to enter the program. According to a recent article in the Oregonian, "The School of Architecture and Allied Arts added a degree in product design and grew from an initial plan for 15,000 square feet to more than 20,000. The School of Law will offer new classes in environmental law in Portland, requiring 800 to 1,200 square feet of additional space."
"These are all programs we couldn't offer until we had a greater commitment to Portland," Stavitsky said. Stavitsky also said the new building may allow other programs within the university to move to Portland as well. "We are really planning for a major expansion," Stavitsky said. "There are lots of conversations in the university encouraging other programs to move."
The exact opening date of the White Stag Block is still unknown, but could happen as soon as April. The goal is to move students into the new school at the start of spring term, and the move is expected continue through the summer and be completed by August. On May 7 the School of Journalism plans to sponsor a social with an open guest list to give students and professionals in the community a chance to network and see the new space. This is not the official opening ceremony of the new school. "It will be a way for the Journalism school to recruit new graduate students to the program," said public relations student Beth Evans, who will be partly responsible for organizing the social.
Students and teachers are eagerly waiting to see the new space. "I haven't even seen the building yet. I am teaching spring term, and I'm very excited to be in the White Stag building," said Kelli Matthews, a journalism adjunct professor. "I just don't know how I'm going to best utilize it yet."

Jerome Reynolds, Gleaner Writer
At least one prominent defence attorney is against calls by the leadership of the Jamaican Bar Association for the abolition of preliminary enquiries in the court system.
The association said that doing away with the enquiries, would go a long way in reducing delays and by extension cutting the backlog of cases.
It further said it would prevent the double exposure of witnesses.
However, Jacqueline Samuels-Brown said any gains that could be achieved by abolishing preliminary enquiries would have little impact, if shortfalls in the justice system are not addressed.
Samuels-Brown, who is the immediate past president of the bar association, is of the view that preliminary enquiries are essential, as they allow a judge to assess if there is sufficient evidence for a matter to proceed.
She further said the procedure allows for better preservation of evidence and that, during preliminary enquiries, defendants get the opportunity to hear the case against them before trial.
Samuels-Brown pointed out that figures from the National Security Ministry, indicate that the delays in trials are largely due to prosecutors not being ready, resulting in the judges granting them multiple adjournments.
She said the 2007 Report of the Judicial Review Task Force, had noted that the enquiries should not be abolished until shortfalls at the prosecutorial authorities are fixed.

The Liberation Of the Unpopular
Thursday, January 8th, 2009 by Mark | Posted in Unconventional Thinking | CommentsThe other day, I was asked by Fox News to appear as a guest on the Cavuto show to take what would be an unpopular position. That is, to support the right of Wall Street executives – those who had nothing to do with the market meltdown – to earn a bonus in 08.
As you might expect, my appearance was greeted soon after with hostile emails accusing me of being stupid, myopic, cavalier and, well, just a rather despicable human being. I understood that people, frustrated and damaged by the economy, and angry at those they view as the culprits responsible for its malaise, would be indignant about the position I was taking. But I was happy I made the appearance, stated my case and played some role in an ongoing national debate.
Friends and associates have asked me why I would possibly want to go on national television and take such an unpopular position. There is one major reason:
I don't care about being popular.
And this is so liberating.
When we study history, when we look around at the world we live in now, we see that so much of what people do, including all of ourselves from time to time, is designed to win favor with others. But this same study of history and of the here and now illustrates so clearly that those who accomplish things of significance are highly unpopular in many circles.
And they don't care.
Jesus was so unpopular with so many that he was murdered.
Martin Luther King was so unpopular among what looked like ordinary people that I heard a group of men laughing about his assasination the night he was gunned down.
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates may well be the most successful CEOs of a generation and yet they are vilified in many circles.
All of the above were dramatically different and I do not mean to compare them in any way to each other. My point is that they cared not about popularity. They were liberated from the shallow pursuit and thus free to take stands and mount initiatives that changed the world.
In business, politics and personal life, there is a call to engage in the popularity contest that swirls about us. To be well-liked by others. To be easy going. To be the one who never ruffles feathers. To be the person who carries the torch for popular crusades and avoids controversies like the plague.
Let's say you do this. What do you gain? Well, it is more appropriate to look at what you lose. In the quest for popularity, you seek to please others, losing yourself in the shuffle. You are so focused on making sure that the moves you make are likely to be applauded, that you actually live your life for others.
I know dozens of people who are close to me who want me to live my life differently. Or to make different decisions than those I make on a day-by-day basis. And then there are millions of others out there I don't even know who would be happy if I changed my social or political views. Or take different stands on Fox News or any other media I appear on.
And perhaps they are right. And I don't mean to be cavalier, but I don't care. Somehow, somewhere, some way, I stopped caring about being popular. I have cared as long as I can remember, about living a full and true life. And that is what drives me. And I can only hope that some day it leads to me taking a stand on something that is so powerful and unique (and likely unpopular) that it has a lasting impact on the world.
Until then, if the then ever comes or not, I will relish in the Liberation Of The Unpopular.

I have an interesting occurance here... between 2250 & 2500rpms in 4th (highway, 60-70mph area) I get a whine almost identical to a turbo spinning up, my car doesn't have a turbo, and it only happens during that time. it rises in pitch as the rpms go up, and disapears just after about 2600rpm.... I'm not sure if this is something I should be concerned about, the car runs fine, no change in fuel economy, idle, throtle response, etc. Ideas maybe?
Thanks! |
possible alternator or P/S bearing - try revving up in nuetral to those RPMs (hopefully it's not a transmission issue)
And check the belt tensioner idler pulleys too.
belts are good, pully is fine, revved in P & N to those rpms and nothing... it's only on the road when in 4th. Wondering if it may be one of my wheel bearings? I was planning on checking/greasing them anyhow, may need to sooner than thought.
its your differential, try changing ur fluid
I'd look at the diff first. Either that or it is your transmission.
Wheel bearings would whine pretty constantly. |
I'm hoping it's not the tranny or diff... it appears to be coming from the front of the car, passenger's side based on my listening to it while driving... and it's easier to hear with all the windows rolled up (no outside noise). I'm going to do my best to check what I can this weekend... wish me luck.
which car is this? the problem is, if its your diff, theres really no way to tell other than pinpointing if the noise is coming from there or not, and i think most of the time a fluid change will fix it
It's on the L7... I'll start checking everything this weekend if I can, hopefully I'll be able to have someone help me pinpoint the sounds origin. If I had a way to securely block the car up and put it in gear to try and locate the issue I would.

Hey guys, I really need some help in buying a laptop this summer and i hope you guys can help. The laptop is going to be multipurpose as I will be using it for school, at home, and for casual gaming.
What i'm looking for:
- A decent/above average laptop that can last me around 3-5 years.
- 2nd Generation Intel processor (i5 or i7).
- A Decent graphic card
- Price Range: $700-$1000 (Preferably around 800$ not included tax yet, i live in Canada)
So my first question is
1. 1920x1080 or 1366 x 768:
- I will be using the laptop to playback movies/videos through an HDMI cable to my home theater.
- My laptop will be hooked up to a 24inch monitor at home
- Question: Is it necessary to get 1080p or will a 1366x768 be suffice?

3. Lastly, if you know some better laptop deals, please do show me a link so i can check them out.
Thanks in advance guys!

Serena Williams came into the French Open for the first time in her career as the overwhelming favourite. Despite winning the title in 2002 in what was the first step of the 'Serena Slam', the younger of the two Williams sisters was never really the kind of player whose game was ideally suited to clay. However, victories on the surface at Charleston and Madrid earlier this season saw her emerge through the summer unbeaten on clay, her only 'defeats' coming through withdrawals. Her opponent on Tuesday was supposed to be cannon fodder - a 29-year old Frenchwoman well past her prime, who had made 7 first round exits at Roland Garros, and looked on course for no.8 when her lucky 13th attempt at her home Grand Slam drew her against an in-form 13-time Grand Slam champion in Serena Williams.
The beginning of the first set proved to be a topsy-turvy affair as both players struggled with their footwork in slippery conditions on Court Philippe Chatrier. Service turned out to be a liability as both women were broken four times within the first eight games itself. Initially, Serena struggled more with her footing which manifested in the form of unforced errors - her tally was as high as 15 after the first 6 games. Visibly frustrated, Serena's first serve percentage also started to plummet. The American's lackluster play combined with the Virginie's controlled aggression gave the unseeded Frenchwoman a 4-2 lead. This proved to be just the wake up call the American required as the favourite reeled off 4 consecutive games breaking her opponent twice in the process, with a series of powerful returns to take the first set 6-4.
The Second set in contrast saw no break of serve as Serena's offensive first serve return positioning caused her to miss many returns and the power and placement of the American's serve, likewise, prevented Razzano from breaking serve. Unforced errors continued to leak from the racquet of Serena as her movement, especially forward movement, still seemed below-par. Nevertheless, she was able to force a tiebreak serving to stay in the second set. The tiebreaker proved to be a roller coaster of momentum shifts with the American grabbing the initiative with her array of punishing groundstrokes jumping to a 5-1 lead. Razzano, out of nowhere, took the next six points, three of which were disputed by Serena but the umpire got the decisions spot on each time. Razzano nicked the tiebreak 7-5, and much to the delight of the home fans there was a match suddenly on.
As news of Razzano's fightback spread around Roland Garros, the empty seats on Court Philippe Chatrier suddenly started filling up with the terraces packed to the rafters. A crowd more akin to a football match got right behind the local girl and cheered every single point she won.
The momentum shift appeared complete as Razzano jumped away to a 5-0 lead in the final set, and Serena looked dead and burried with her usually reliable backhand completely deserting her. However, Serena wasn't done yet and with the typical resolve of a Williams refused to accept the reality the scoreboard presented her. Playing the match a point at a time, Serena held serve, broke Razzano and then held serve again to close the gap right back up to 3-5 in the final set.
What followed next was the most incredible nerve-wracking game that one is likely to witness at the French Open this year as two women who just refused to quit battled it out over the next 23 minutes. Controversial umpiring decisions, cramps, slips, nervy double faults, shanked forehands, five breakpoints and eight match points later, Virginie Razzano skipped in delight as Court Philippe Chartier roared its approval at the triumph of the local favourite as a backhand from Serena floated narrowly long.
Razzano will next take on Dutch youngster Arantxa Rus, who caused an upset of her own last year by beating Kim Clijsters. Rus had a considerably shorter day at the office against American Jamie Hampton in her first round match. Rus was leading 6-4, 4-3 when Hampton retired.
Other late winners on day 3 included former world no.1 Caroline Wozniacki, who showed some form of old, hammering Greek girl Eleni Daniildou 6-0, 6-1. Maria Kirilenko, the 16th seed, and Kaia Kanepi, seeded 23rd also advanced to round 2.

Events occur in real time…
Boop. Boop… Those heavy, imposing bass beats that 24 fans the world over have been waiting for… for almost 2 years! Somehow Kiefer's managed to pull out yet another season of 24 — we're at season 7 now (and he's aged remarkably well!), and CTU has finally been shut down (something about torturing people and operating a bit outside the law.
The season started with Jack facing down a tribunal of Senators, explaining that while it's not pleasant, torturing Muhammed bin Patel-Assad, someone has to do it. For the security of the people. Later on in the episode, there's a fantastic scene with the President and the joint chiefs of the US military. 'We just need to swagger in there, spray some bullets around the place, and the oppressed, war-torn people of the Fictitious African Nation will welcome us with open arms," one of the chiefs says. Well, not quite, but he implies the same sentiment with that cocky, derisive sneer, as he tells the President that they expect no meaningful resistance.
Anyway, Tony's back (£10 on Nina returning from beyond the veil before the end of the season…) The jury's still out on whether he's actually a baddie, but I'm sure we'll be treated to lots of 'Is he or isn't he?!' moments, especially at the end of each episode.
More importantly, my friend (yes, an actual bonafide friend) Dave has finally surfaced. He disappeared back in September, only to re-emerge yesterday. Turns out he was locked in some room, in Boston (he lives in Ireland), forced to code some software. A bit like that scene in Swordfish:
He was adamant that he couldn't get in touch, so I just had to fear that he was dead for a few months. I had no one to watch Kristen Bell in Heroes with! (She is incidentally the cutest, most… arrrgh, delectable girl woman on the planet. The fact that she looks just like my ex has NOTHING to do with it)
He's back JUST in time for 24 and the end of Battlestar Galactica (it's going to be tough recovering from how they left it…) so he's forgiven… just.
As I said in the previous entry, we had power cuts for about 2 1/2 hours this afternoon, so I was forced to light candles, eat whatever I randomly pulled out of the fridge, and take some self-indulgent self portraits. For anyone wondering, that's what I looked like when I was roleplaying Jack (the cowboy).

how about
-fleetness of foot (fast, good footwork, stamina, explosiveness, etc)
-well rounded stroke arsenal: you must be able to do every stroke in the book or you'll become a bit monotuous (sp?), This will also make you tactically more flexible
-not get stuck in one playing style: don't try to do a dead-run-jump-smash-fest unless you're stamina/speed/power outweighs your opponents defense 3:1. But be able to play different games..
-concentrated and relaxed but driven atitude

What he meant was:
Get to the shuttle as early as possible, then you can analyse all your options.
That means you have as many choices as possible for a shot, i.e. short net play, lift, drive, dab, and maybe net kills.
When that happens, your opponent may commit to a particular direction or move, hence you can decide to change at the last second.
i.e. net play->lift, lift->net play, dab->net, etc. Hence "holding" your decisions until your opponent commit to something, or it is the last moment where you had to make a decision without having to be forced to a particular shot.

it's abotu deception. here's a situation:
your oppoent does a dropshot, you're there fast but nit fast enough to kill it. you hold your racket liek you're about to do a netshot (nettumble) and then watch (from the corner of your eye) your opponent, if he comes rushing in, or running hard. hold and 'flic' the shuttle. your opponent will have to turn over, work against his own momentum and will generally be late at the shuttle.
if, like you said, make up your mind about a shot and then do it, you'll lose all deception. it's good to keep all options open

And there's 1 more question - what if he just keep standing there? I see you will stop shuttle at the net. Personally I won't dare to stop - I dunno, maybe too advanced for me, but if not planned, if I'm to pick up the shot I had no intention to play and I'm to do it at the very last moment (meaning that I'm already in postition and I'm already starting to hit the shuttle) then there will be an unforced error - so I'll lift/drive it anyway.

So, for example, I approach the net with my arms out, ready to either:
1. Drive (pronate-supinate technique for power)
2. Tight net shot (in this instance, slice the shuttle)
3. Lift (in this instance, finger power, and lift using either pronation or supination).
Given the time, I would have thought about all three options, and will decide either when you have moved, or when it is the last chance I have in deciding safely (the later possible, the better). However, this is only possible when you have the speed to arrive at shuttle early enough and have calmly analysed your situation.
I play doubles more often than singles, so I have a chance to do so more often, however, the same approach can be done for singles game.
If your opponent has picked a base, it is your choice of tactics that decide. In a singles game, I tend to play a tight net shot more often in a hold position, if the opponent doesn't move.

for example, when you leap up from the baseline, you get a clue where your opponent is and how he is moving before you choose your shot. let's say you choose to execute a dropshot for a good reason.
if you are skillful enough, your opponent has no clue it's going to be a dropshot or smash or clear, that is good deception (in most times, it means the degree of the identicalness/identity/identifiability/(in)distinguishability of the execution of all type of shots from the same starting point to the moment the racket hits the bird).
if you aren't that skillful, your opponent will have more clue what shot you're going to do.
decide your shot as late as possible (not for every shot though) and execute your shot as identical as possible. but no matter at what skill level, when your choice of shot is made, don't change, this is what i'm taught and i believe it's right as it will do more bad to yourself than to your opponent. unless it's a dead catch.
1. Stamina
2. Speed
3. Strength
4. Spirit
5. in Shape
6. footwork
7. footwork
8. footwork
9. Strategy
10. Footwork
Footwork is really important though you're as great as Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei or Wang Yihan.
Wow... 6 years old thread is revived! But I couldnt agree more about footwork....
What I believe is the top 10 requirements to become a good singles player.
1. Confidence and Mental Strength
2. Footwork that is capable of different paces.
3. Fundamental shots such as the lob and the lift. (Imagine having a poor lift, and you HAVE to lift it. That would just mean a killer smash from the opponent)
4. Quick thinking and able to react quickly to change of pace.
5. Superb netplay, capable for forcing your opponent to perform a lift.
6. Initiative. (Attack is the best defence)
7. Defence: Reacting quickly and recovering from playing the passive shots.
8. Flat play to increase pace.
9. A simple smash. It does not have to be fast. A good smash, will be steep; going down into the midcourt. Make it accurate as well; aim for the sidelines.
10. Choice of shots. (There is no point, keeping the game along the net when the opponent's net shots are far superior than yours. Lift it.)
I did not include deceptive play because I believe that is up to the playing style of each individual. The fitness levels are dependent on the levels of badminton each individual plays, however I strongly agree that excellent fitness would be crucial at competitive levels.
This "SPECIAL" tip is from "researching" into Lin Dan ...
STOP CHANGING RACQUETS (AT700 or Li-Ning equiv N90), STRINGS (BG65 or Li-Ning equiv)and TENSION (33lbs) - find out what you like and works and stick to it even if Yonex or Li-Ning curse you for not changing ....
Rumours have it that LD has a "stockpile" of AT700 .... hmmm ... guess, I better start my own Cab20sp stockpile too !!Last edited by maxout; 11-26-2012 at 03:21 AM.
@maxout, u miss out one important thing that Lin Dan like and stick.
Here are some easy to remember tips for my juniors to keep in mind before their tournaments...
Good Tips, but for the wrong levels.
It's only for NOVICE, guys.
I don't think I have that many tips,
1) Footwork
2) Footwork
3) Footwork, just be able to cover most of the court. DRILLS, DRILLS n DRILLS
4) Anticipate opponents shots or at least be ready for almost any return shot.
5)Do not rush to win by kill shots ie smashes all the time. Just perfect yr basic shots like deep clear, drop shots and decent backhand. Even many intermediates cannot do proper deep clears or good drop shots.
6) Make yr opponent RUN around. Give him difficult shots or aim at his weakness ALMOST all the time.
7)Last but not least, ENJOY the game, even losing to players who are not technically better than you. Analyse your lost game n avoid the same mistakes next time.
macazteeg liked this post
Additionally, practice yr worst shots or weakness. Even w/ good basic shots you can beat many intermediates or club level players, no need any fancy backhand smashes or trick shots.
Important basic shots for novice singles are clears (cross court too), deep serves, drop shots, backhand clears, nets and drives.Last edited by sautom88; 11-28-2012 at 10:38 PM. Reason: additional comments

Joined friends for dinner here at the last minute. I like sashimi and they sliced it thin for me...very fresh and tasty, as was the gyoza and ginger salad. Well worth a visit.

The service was really poor when we visited.. We had to ask the cashier to place our order and after it was served and we were finished, I had to go to the cashier to get my check. The other two Sushi Thai restaurants are very attentive and you feel like you are a friend and a guest. Here I... More
Some of the sushi offerings are fancy. Not only do they offer sushi but selections from other Asian styles. Service is quick. We try to go every couple of weeks.
We have eaten at all 4 of the Sushi Thai restaurants in the Naples/Bonita area and in our opinion, the one in Bonita is the best. The sushi and sashimi are beautiful and fresh as are the many variety of rolls, simply the best. I am partial to the shrimp in red curry sauce. The atmosphere in Bonita is lovely... More
Salads are big with delicious ginger dressing, tom kha soup also excellent and flavorful, perfect sushi and great fried rice. AND Great service to boot!!
the sea angel roll is a piece of art! the pad thai perfect and service is always top notch...quick and attentive and nice atmosphere....we are alway pleased here!
We go to sushi Thai often. Always fresh and taste wonderful. We usually have the sushi and they seem always willing to make anything we request.
I eat here every time I get a day off. My boyfriend turned me on to this place he gets jealous everytime I come without him now.
My wife and I go here at least twice a month. We are always greeted by name, Vana is wonderful! The food and atmosphere keep us coming back. I highly recommend!
started with the fresh roll with one of the best dipping sauces in swfl /soft shell crab- cooked as good as any seafood restaurant - generic shrimp tempura app- it just every where and this was good- but other 2 apps stood out/wife had chix curry(

If you are in SA and want some good Mexican food and drink in a nice atmosphere, forget the over rated Riverwalk and head here. They have the best margaritas in SA that I have ever seen. Some other places come close, but most places are light years behind Fogata in the margarita department. You also have the choice to... More
La Fogata is a place you can get dressed up a little bit if you want and not be out of place or dress casual and feel right at home. I love the patio with all the plants but the main dining area is great too. Love the Guacamole! Very good service and to me, very good margaritas.
We had the enchiladas featured in Southern Living and they were rightly so. They were wonderful! The margarita was good. The hot sauce was a little different but tasty. It had a really fun atmosphere and great service!
Every item superb and fresh. Guacamole. 'To order. . .mas piemento, o mas cilantro, y mas limon.' Grilled specialties. Lamb ribs, name it, it's sensational. Then add the elegant and congenial service and the best restaurant coffee I've ever had and what else could you want.

Went here with friends for dinner. Everyone's food was good. Delicious margaritas (and I'm not even a margarita person), 100% blue agave. Service was very good, waiter was very personable. Really nice patio with lugs landscaping, you don't even notice you're on a busy road.
The food is wonderful, the margaritas are outstanding, the people are like family, the atmosphere is hard to beat!!!! The only place in San Antonio for Mexican food. It really is the whole enchilada! Outdoor dining is the best, so pretty and tropical.h
I haven't been to La Fogata in over twenty years and had forgotten what great food can be had there. The garden like setting was delightful, the service quick and thoughtful and the food was excellent with a reasonable price. I will return soon.
If you are looking for great Mexican atmosphere and good drinks. .. this is the place. If you want good tex-Mex food and good service you may want to go elsewhere. The outdoor dining area is beautiful but very hot. We dined inside and the mariachi band so loud you couldn't talk. Probably will not return here.
If you are traveling to San Antonio, you should try this restaurant. It is off the beaten track for tourists, but is well worth the trip. Once you enter the restaurant, you feel like you are in a tropical jungle. The waitrons are attentive. The food is fantastic. Although I no longer live in San Antonio, it is where I... More

Environmental Law & Policy Clinic
Student attorneys are the cornerstone of San Diego Coastkeeper's legal force.
They shoulder the majority of the organization's legal workload under close supervision of our legal clinic director. Student attorneys develop methods to identify pollution problems, then select and implement a strategy to solve them.
Methods to identify pollution may include:
- obtaining and reviewing public records,
- patrolling local waters on Coastkeeper's boat, Clean Sweep,
- conducting targeted investigations of construction sites, parks or industrial facilities,
- meeting with community groups and concerned citizens,
- responding to hotline tips, or
- developing volunteer-based pollution patrols.
Student attorneys may solve pollution problems by collaborating with polluters or regulators, empowering community members to take action, initiating litigation, working with media or developing policy solutions. They will participate in a weekly clinic session to learn additional skills such as complaint-writing, working with experts, taking and defending depositions, analyzing legal requirements for a particular law, working effectively with partner organizations, techniques for improving written advocacy or public speaking.
Coastkeeper asks local students to make a two-semester, part-time (approximately 10-20 hours/week) commitment, either during the Spring of 2L year and Fall of 3L year or during the full 3L year. Students working during the semester must meet all the requirements under California law to become certified law students.
Coastkeeper also accepts a limited number of student attorneys full-time during the summer and welcomes inquiries from those seeking a full-time externship during the semester or volunteer opportunities for law school graduates and practicing attorneys.
To Apply
Send your resume and cover letter to Legal Clinic Director Jill Witkowski at
. For more information, you can download a robust description of the student attorney program and read about our previous legal interns.
Spring 2013: September 1, 2012
Summer 2013: September 15, 2012
All other things being equal between candidates, applicants who apply first will be given preference.
Coastkeeper will coordinate with student attorneys and participating law schools to provide course credit and/or financial compensation. Coastkeeper does not offer stipends directly to student attorneys.

James Gwilt after injuring his knee in July 2011. Photo: Pat Scala
BARELY eight months after he had a knee reconstruction, St Kilda defender James Gwilt will return in the VFL this weekend. For the Saints, this is a development as welcome as the startlingly successful return from the same operation by 32-year-old Lenny Hayes.
Gwilt will need a few games in the twos before the Saints can contemplate selecting him, but on the basis of what Hayes produced last weekend - 30 disposals, seven clearances and a tackle that shook the Etihad Stadium foundations - the Saints should be optimistic that their emerging defender will have lost none of his capacity.
Remarkably, Gwilt will have missed only 11 games in which he could have been selected for the Saints.
Increasingly, players are winning the battle of wounded knees. Essendon's Courtenay Dempsey is another instance of an impressive return. Dempsey had 23 disposals in his second game against Port Adelaide before tweaking his hammy last Saturday. Dempsey's pre-season had delighted the Bombers, whose coach James Hird suggested that Dempsey had become ''vastly more mature'' after his knee reconstruction.
Post-knee, the defender has appeared stronger, more robust and has played accordingly, with the confidence of a man in his physical prime.
The notion that a player might be BETTER for having a knee reconstruction - Hird's assessment of Dempsey - was evident when Brisbane Lion forward Daniel Bradshaw returned from his knee reco in 2008; Bradshaw had his career year, booting 75 goals to finish third in the Coleman Medal.
Once, when a player ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament, it was seen as potentially career-ending and disastrous; today, when a player ''does'' his knee, it's arguably the club that is most damaged - that's assuming it's his first reconstruction. The player can get back, within eight to 12 months; the club cannot replace him during that season.
For players of Hayes' ilk, who have been battered throughout long careers, a year without football also afford them the chance to rest the body and avoid further wear and tear. Julian Feller, the surgeon who operated on Dempsey, Gwilt and Hayes and who does many of the knee operations for Victorian clubs, said Hayes was an instance of a player who might have gained physical benefits from his time out of the game. ''That [avoiding wear and tear] probably was an issue for Lenny Hayes.''
Feller said Hayes had mentioned the potential silver lining of a rested body to ex-teammate, Collingwood's Luke Ball, who, like Hayes and Gwilt, has the well-muscled legs that give a footballer the best chance of a successful recovery.
Medicos say that strong quadriceps, such as those owned by Gwilt and Hayes, are an advantage in recovering from knee reconstructions, while the rehabilitation programs today are more scientific.
Feller credits the success of Dempsey, Hayes, Gwilt and other recent knee survivors Matthew Kreuzer and Jarrad Waite to their dedication during rehab. Essendon's Jason Winderlich, he added, had been just as hard-working but had been less fortunate with soft tissue injuries. ''He'll get there,'' said Feller, explaining that hamstrings were an issue for 70 per cent of players immediately post-knee reconstructions.
Professional players are, predictably, more professional about getting over their knees than yesterday's heroes.
Former Essendon champion Tim Watson did his knee in 1986, but didn't make it back properly until 1988, having suffered complications that ruined his 1987 return. ''In the old days, we were part-time,'' said Watson. ''We weren't working on our leg every day.'' Watson's son Jobe competes in an AFL that his father reckoned had the globally cutting-edge medical science. Hawthorn football operations manager Mark Evans said Melbourne had the advantage of housing an outstanding collection of orthopedic surgeons.
Knee recos aren't the only instance of players who are performing above market expectations earlier than one might expect. Hawk Jarryd Roughead suffered arguably the more dangerous injury of a ruptured Achilles tendon, yet has played high-standard football - even competing in the ruck on Sunday and at stages in his Easter Monday return - straight off the bat.
Like Gwilt, Roughead was training strongly for several weeks before the club was willing to play him; neither was rushed back. Time healed that heel, and quite a number of knees, too.

Peer Mediators are students helping students. They walk other students through the conflict resolution process. They are great at not taking sides and getting each participant to listen to the other person. The Mediators help students name their feelings and support the students as they come up with win-win solutions for themselves. Students who come to mediation are asked to follow some ground rules: o To work to solve the problem o To tell the truth o No put-down or name-calling o No (physical)fighting o Not to interrupt each other Everything that happens in a mediation session is kept confidential unless it is dangerous or destructive. Please see "Forms" link for a referral to mediation form. Mediation Coordinators at Watertown Public Schools have been trained by paxUnited - The National Mediation Center in Richardson, TX; and more recently by School Mediation Associates in Watertown, MA.

In the end we're all suckers for things that we feel we shouldn't have to pay for. You have your reasons and I have mine. So get over it.

Project HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware) gives students the opportunity to design and build products for potential use in space missions. As part of this project, NASA asked the students of Cypress Woods High School to design and build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that carries a camera and can maneuver around the zero-gravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS) under the direction of ground control. Learn how the students used 3D printing to quickly and inexpensively build functional prototypes to test and improve the functionality of their design. Read more...

Adrenal cortical activation in murine colitis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Proper adrenal glucocorticoid secretion is crucial in the course of inflammatory diseases. However, the function and structure of the adrenal glands have not been examined in inflammatory bowel diseases. METHODS: After induction of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) colitis in SJL/J mice, plasma hormone and cytokine levels were measured, adrenal structure was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, and adrenal cytokine/cytokine receptor expression were studied by RNase protection. RESULTS: Adrenals of colitic animals were enlarged and hypervascularized. These animals had a marked increase in plasma corticosterone levels during the course of colitis (270 +/- 34 vs. 16 +/- 11 ng/mL; P < 0.0001) but only a modest elevation of their concurrent adrenocorticotropin levels (57 +/- 13 vs. 29 +/- 9 pmol/L; NS). On electron microscopy, adrenocortical cells showed ultrastructural signs of marked stimulation, and intra-adrenal lymphocytes were frequently found in direct contact with these cells. Concurrent plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6, the major cytokine activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, were markedly increased (495 +/- 131 vs. 20 +/- 1.5 pg/mL; P < 0.0001), and this cytokine directly stimulated corticosterone secretion by adrenocortical cells in vitro. Intra-adrenal expression of IL-6 in animals with colitis was increased 80-fold, and the IL-6 receptor subunits IL-6R alpha and gp130 were present in the adrenal cells. Treatment of animals with neutralizing anti-IL-6 antibody reduced the TNBS-induced growth and activation of the adrenal cortices. CONCLUSIONS: Colitis is associated with a profound stimulation of adrenocortical cell function and glucocorticoid release. Direct immune-adrenal interactions seem to contribute to this activation of the adrenal glands during colitis.[1]References

Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical commonly found in bleach, water purifiers, and cleaning products.
Swallowing sodium hypochlorite can lead to poisoning. Breathing sodium hypochlorite fumes may also cause poisoning, especially if the product is mixed with ammonia.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Bleach; Clorox; Carrel-Dakin solution
Sodium hypochlorite
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
Watered-down (diluted) sodium hypochlorite generally causes only mild stomach irritation. Swallowing larger amounts can cause more serious symptoms.
NEVER mix ammonia with sodium hypochlorite (bleach or bleach-containing products). This common household error produces a toxic gas that can cause choking and serious breathing problems.
Symptoms of sodium hypochlorite poisoning may include:
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. DO NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Determine the following information:
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The person will be admitted to a hospital. The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate.
Specific treatment depends on how the poisoning occurred.
For swallowed poison:
For inhaled poison, treatment may include:
For skin exposure, treatment may include:
Swallowing , smelling, or touching household bleach will likely not cause any significant problems. However, more severe problems can occur with industrial strength bleach, or mixing bleach with ammonia.
How well a patient does depends on how rapidly the sodium hypochlorite was diluted and neutralized. There is a good chance of recovery if proper treatment is given soon after the poison was swallowed. Without prompt treatment, extensive damage to the mouth, throat, eyes, lungs, esophagus, nose, and stomach are possible, depending on how exposure occurred.

Luke Nelson, 16, a junior linebacker with the Dassel-Cokato high school team, was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis Friday after collapsing on the field during a game in Cokato, Minn., The (Minneapolis) Star Tribune reported.
An Internet post by his parents, Greg and Sara Nelson, indicated surgeons removed half of the teen's skull to relieve swelling in his brain, and he had been put on a ventilator.
The Nelsons said Luke was awake and alert and was joking with doctors, with his condition markedly improved Sunday.
Jeff Weiland, football coach of the opposing Orono, Minn., High School, team, told the newspaper his review of the game films showed Nelson was likely hurt on a play when an Orono running back's thigh struck him in the helmet.
Nelson remained in the game for a few plays after the incident, then collapsed and fell into seizures.
He was taken to a hospital in Litchfield, Minn., before being airlifted to the Minneapolis facility for emergency surgery early Saturday.

SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime Tuner
Technology Mixology
I take outdated technology and integrate it with what people actually use. Yes it's worthless, but that's what makes it art.
Welcome to my workshop. It's a little messy, I know – watch out for those flanges – step right in. Check this out, it's one of my first creations, the Locomotivemobile. It's a Segway that's powered by steam. Pretty cool, right? You thought steam power was dead, but no: I worked it into new technology and gave it a second life.
Here's my latest work, the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime Tuner. It harnesses the power of television and puts it right on your computer, so you can watch and record your favorite shows from any computer in your network. Isn't that cool? I'm like a Dr. Frankenstein – I re-animate old, dying technologies and give them new life! Nobody thought putting TV on a computer was worthwhile, what with streaming videos and whatnot. But that's the whole point!
The SiliconDust tuner even connects to iPads, so you can watch old reruns of Murder, She Wrote right on your tablet! It's that combination of new and old that really gives my work vitality. Of course, nobody would really want to do that, but the fact that you can do it makes it art.
What are my upcoming projects? Well, I was thinking of making a giant steam-powered spider that could chase Will Smith across the Wild West. Just a thought.

Drop Out Venus – Elastic Teen Rent
Discordant guitars, husky vocals, broken drums. Drop Out Venus are something totally unique right now and that is quite special. From the outset they have been a band who have done things differently, almost in a world of their own, totally divorced from any coherent scene, seemingly almost existing in their own bubble (obvious influences aside). It's fascinating to watch them develop as a band and perhaps that's precisely because they defy categorisation, they don't fit in. Take a listen to their new single Elastic Teen Rent below and have a read of the extensive interview we did with them at the beginning of the year. Consider how rapidly this band are growing up and evolving into a serious force to be reckoned with.
Single Launch Party September 25th at White Heat.

VANCOUVER -- B.C. Lions defensive lineman Khalif Mitchell was fined an undisclosed amount by the CFL on Wednesday for posting a message containing a racial slur on his Twitter account.
While tweeting about Tuesday's U.S. presidential debate, Mitchell posted a message with a term that is derogatory towards Chinese people.
He later apologized for using the word, saying he didn't know it was offensive.
The 27-year-old from Virginia Beach, Va., was due to return from injury for Friday's game against Edmonton after missing the last three weeks.
But the team says Mitchell will now not suit up against the Eskimos.
"This decision is a response to Khalif's inappropriate comments made on his Twitter feed this morning and despite his public expression of remorse, we believe this is the best course of action for our organization at this time," Lions CEO Dennis Skulsky said in a statement. "Let me state very clearly on behalf of our entire organization that Khalif's message was completely inappropriate and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.
"The B.C. Lions, our players, coaches and staff hold ourselves to the highest standard and we are proud to represent our culturally diverse community."
The league said Mitchell broke the guidelines of its social media policy, which states that players publishing online postings "that may bring the CFL into disrepute, including posts that condone harassment, discrimination or violence" are subject to discipline from the league commissioner.
Mitchell's comments also caught the attention of B.C. Premier Christy Clark, who is a fan of the Lions.
"It was stupid. You know, we live in a province where we are trying to do everything we can to be inclusive. And we are one of the most multicultural places on earth. I am incredibly proud of that, that's part of what makes us British Columbians," Clark said. "I think a comment like that is just dumb. It doesn't reflect any of us, and I can tell you as a longtime B.C. Lions fan, it doesn't reflect the B.C. Lions organization, which is a great organization."
It's not the first time Mitchell has gotten himself into trouble. Earlier he served a two-game suspension for hyperextending the elbow of Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Simeon Rottier.
The players have spoken. See who they think has the best hands, who is the nastiest and much more in the fourth annual CFL on TSN Player Poll. Check the Results...

Sharia update from Iran! "Alluring mannequins" are now verboten in Iran, and are being impounded. This is in the interests of public chastity, you see. After all, we can't have men falling for mannequins, can we? It might lead them to...join biker gangs!
You Can't Make This Stuff Up Alert: "City tackles titillating mannequins," from Reuters, with thanks to all who sent this in:
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Police in northeastern Iran are launching a new morality drive by confiscating alluring mannequins from boutiques and clothes stalls in the bazaar, authorities in the city of Bojnourd said on Monday.A spokesman for the city's judiciary, who asked not be named, explained the drive would tackle problems of "public chastity". Sixty five mannequins have been impounded so far.
He explained the crack-down on tailors' dummies was part of a larger offensive against anti-social behaviour such as vandalism and biker gangs.

We are enjoying our home! Thanks for all you did to make that a reality. "One of the things I remember about working with Dawn, was sense of calm in stressful moments. We always felt that she maintained a sense of ease while still moving forward with-out getting caught up in all the drama that can be present in buying a home." Dane
I liked working with Dawn because she is a true professional- she is knowledgeable, helpful, honest, and at the same time, friendly, patient and pleasant. Long after the closing, she continues to be supportive. Dawn is highly recommended as a great Realtor. M. Livan
I met Dawn after my husband left me and my two children, I was looking at homes to try to start over for us. I did not make much money but wanted to try to give my children a "Home". Dawn had faith, told me that "we" could find a home that was in my minimum financial boundries. She stuck by me for almost two years. She helped me sell my "marital" house and I am now living in a cute old farmhouse that we all love. She is wonderful and I will recommend her and use her again if I decide to move. She is not only my Realtor she has become a friend. Marli
When we decided to sell our previous home we contacted Coldwell Banker GTD and Dawn Roessing became our agent. We enjoyed working with Dawn, she worked hard, was personable and honest with us, which in this day and age is hard to come by. She also had a great deal of patience in showing us homes to buy when ours was sold. We would call Dawn, she would show us these places. She always found the time to answer all our questions and never tried to push a sale on us. When we found the house we really wanted, she did all the paperwork etc and kept us up to date on the progress of the sale of both our house and the one we were buying. If we ever decide to sell our home , we would definately contact Dawn. Not only is she our agent, we consider her our friend. Danne & Mary

I don't agree with your post, however, I can offer an observation that should make all of us feel better. Two of my grandchildren are mixed, Chinese and "white" (whatever that is). While visiting China together I was astounded that every Chinese person in every city we visited could spot my grandchildren as racially mixed from a mile away. They were mesmerized by their appearance and did not hesitate to ask my daughter-in-law every question possible regarding their racial heritage. I, in turn, became more and more shocked and kept asking how they knew they were mixed - how they could tell. The kids speak fluent Chinese and I could see nothing that would cause such attention. My amazement was profound until I gained some understanding. In the U.S., my grandchildren would make no visable impression in respect to race. We do not see in color when it comes to those of a difference race. Our eyes are not trained to see in racial color. We see the person, we see anything that makes a particular person stand out, we see deformities, we see height, weight, clothing, hair styles etc., but we don't see racial color under normal circumstances. If a white person strolled down a gang infested area in the middle of south central, yes, race would be a visible factor and draw tons of attention. If, however, we were shopping in our local grocery store and saw a black couple shopping, we would not see them racially. We are not a country based on race unless it's accompanied by other factors.
That was a very nice post KKayla!
There is too much over sensitivity when race is brought up in this country that everyone is afraid to talk about it, and there are many different origins of Chinese that we obviously can not tell but to them it is almost black and white to them.
We are conditioned now to make no distinctions as from one race or another unless applying for assistance from federal programs, any other time it is taboo, while in China they make clear distinction of people and as you clearly mentioned, are quite good about it.
