Carroll County struggled against Gallatin County's pressure defense, committing 27 turnovers en route to a 48-36 loss at home.
"That's the difference in the game," Panthers head coach Carroll Yager said. "We missed some easy shots around the basket, probably four or five at least, right there at the basket … that could have been a difference too. Big thing is we have to handle the ball a bit better. We're going to keep working on things to do that."
The Carroll County Lady Panthers honored all-time scoring leader Whitney Ballinger Saturday night by retiring her jersey in front of the home crowd. Unfortunately, the Lady Panthers (4-11) weren't able to use Ballinger's scoring ability against the visiting Gallatin County Lady Wildcats (12-4), falling 63-32.
Up seven points with a little more than four minutes to go, the Carroll County Panthers (6-7) beat themselves down the stretch, turning the ball over and the win to the visiting Henry County Wildcats (9-6), 64-57 on Tuesday, Jan. 3.
Down 20-10 heading into the fourth quarter, things looked bleak for the Carroll County Lady Panthers. The team had played well on defense, forcing Henry County to turn the ball over 24 times in the game, but continued to struggle on their shooting, hitting just 5-36 shots for 14 percent from the field through three quarters.
But just when it seemed like the Lady Wildcats (3-10) had the game in hand, the Lady Panthers (4-10) started hitting shots. Carroll went on a 17-2 run in the fourth to pull out a 27-22 come-from-behind win on Tuesday, Jan. 3.
At the start of each legislative session in even-numbered years, the governor appears before the General Assembly twice: First, to give the State of the Commonwealth address and then, later in the month, to present a two-year budget proposal.
Given the tough economy the country has weathered during the last several years, it wasn't much of a surprise when Gov. Steve Beshear spent much of his first speech last week talking about the second one he will give on Jan. 17.
The first week of the 2012 Session was a combination of the ceremonial and the new. We gaveled in last Tuesday with the traditional establishment of the membership of the Senate and approval of our chamber's rules. More than 200 bills have already been filed in the General Assembly and will start making their way through the committee process beginning in earnest next week.
From KPA News Content Service
Gov. Steve Beshear Monday joined Congressman Ben Chandler, Lexington Mayor Jim Gray and others at the United Way of the Bluegrass to launch his annual campaign to urge eligible Kentuckians to apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable federal tax credit for low- and middle-income working individuals and families.
Carroll County Attorney Nick Marsh has begun collecting delinquent property taxes owed to the county.
Marsh's office sent letters to 15 delinquent taxpayers in November.
"I wanted to start with a few of these complaints to begin the process of cleaning up the delinquent tax rolls," he said. "This is just the beginning, and more delinquent taxpayers will be contacted in the future."
The following offices will be closed for the Martin Luther King holiday, Monday, Jan. 16.

Buying meat? Here's how to spot 'botcha'
MANILA, Philippines - The National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) recently launched a campaign called "Chilled is Fresh... Chilled is Safe" as it encourages consumers to be more vigilant when buying meat from wet markets.
Dr. Eduardo Oblena, NMIS director for the National Capital Region, said they are now requiring vendors selling meat to provide equipment such as freezers and refrigerators to maintain the quality of their products.
"Dapat lahat ng chilled and frozen meat and meat products ay name-maintain ang temperature. Kung magtitinda sila ng ganitong uri ng karne, dapat ma-maintain ang ganitong uri ng lamig para ma-maintain ang quality at safety ng karne," he told radio dzMM on Tuesday.
Oblena, a veterinarian, said meat from newly slaughtered animals is only good for six to eight hours. If it cannot be sold within this period, the meat should be placed in a freezer to prevent the entry of bacteria.
He added that thawed meat should not be returned to the freezer and instead be cooked and served immediately.
"Hindi naiintindihan ng iba na habang nagthaw-thaw, tumataas ang fluid portion ng karne at nago-open ng microbial growth... Once pinalusaw [ang yelo sa karne], dapat di na pinapa-freeze ulit. 'Pag balik-balik sa freezer [ang karne] naglalasang papel na," Oblena explained.
How do you know it's botcha?
Here in the Philippines, mishandled meat -- from double-dead pork to products that failed to make it to the freezer -- are generally called "botcha." The term came from a Chinese word which means "not fit for human consumption."
Oblena said NMIS continues to strengthen its campaign against botcha vendors and suppliers by conducting raids and informing the public about the dangers of eating mishandled meat, which range from loose bowel movement to death by food poisoning.
He noted that most people, particularly those from low-income groups, tend to buy botcha because it is cheaper than meat sold in supermarkets.
"Mamamatay daw 'yung mikrobyo sa init kapag niluto. Pero di nila nalalaman ang nangyayari. Ang namamatay lang 'yung mikrobyo. Paano 'yung mga toxins na iniwan ng mikrobyo, 'yung mga toxin-producing bacteria? 'Yun ang nagca-cause ng food poisoning," Oblena said.
So how do you know if a meat product is safe?
Oblena said your best bet is to look for the NMIS certification, which ensures that the product is fresh and of good quality. The seal can be seen on the surface of the meat.
He also gave some red flags that you may want to watch out for:
Slimy texture. Good quality meat is tender and dry, sometimes a bit oily. A slimy texture indicates that the meat is already old.
Foul smell. Good quality meat should smell like...fresh meat. Any different smell may mean that the meat has gone bad. Watch our for chemicals that may have been added to mask the unpleasant odor.
Dark-colored meat. Good quality meat should be pinkish to pale red in color, while its fats must be white to whitish red. If the meat is dark-colored, it may have been exposed to aerial contaminants. If it is brown or in any other color, it is most probably botcha.
Very cheap meat. Good quality meat products are usually in the same price range.
Oblena added that bad meat, no matter how it is cooked, will always taste different. "Sa lasa niyo malalaman, 'di niyo maitatanggi... Para kang kumakain ng bulok," he ended.

Real Housewives of Miami
Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 Sneak Peek: Joanna's Sexy Role-Play!
It's time to spice things up with a little dress-up on next week's sexy episode of Real Housewives of Miami. To bring the heat back into their relationship, Joanna Krupa and Romain Zago pretend to be strangers at a bar in this preview video clip, which involves Joanna putting on a black wig.
"When I saw Romain, I wasn't digging the glasses, but I was trying to look past that, because right now, the only thing I care to get out of this night is sex," Joanna says of seeing Romain as his alter ego.
"So you just go to every city and you f**k every girl you can?" Joanna asks Romain while they're in character. And then she shares this spicy tidbit as her ballerina character: "I love doing splits — I love spreading my legs." No subtlety there!
Air date: Monday, September 30, at 9 p.m. on Bravo!

Marshmellow eggs
Marshmellow eggs
This clever recipe uses shop-bought marshmallows so is much easier than you might think. Once the 'eggs' are cool, the kids can get to work decorating them. Lovely as an edible Easter craft.
serves: 10
- 1kg icing sugar (don't panic you won't be eating it!)
- 250g packet pink and white marshmallows
- Writing icings
- Assorted sprinkle
- Pour the icing sugar into a container so it is at least 4cm deep.
- Press a clean egg halfway into the icing sugar to make the moulds.
- The icing sugar does stick a bit to the egg, so you might have to dust it down as you go.
- Place marshmallows in a large bowl over a simmering saucepan of water, stir occasionally, until melted and smooth.
- Spoon the marshmallow goo into the moulds and refrigerate a couple of hours until set.
- Dust the bottoms of the marshmallow eggs with icing sugar as you are getting them out and place on piece of baking paper to decorate.
- Gather up the children and let them attack the eggs with the writing icings and sprinkles.
- The marshmallow stays nice and soft even after it has been melted and reset.
- Leftover icing sugar can be reused.
- Recipe created by Melissa Hughes for Kidspot.

Focused Lambert: I won't be playing the prediction game
Paul Lambert says he's not one for playing the prediction game.
Fans will be spending the next few weeks forecasting the results of the various basement battles and working out how that leaves their team at the end of the season.
Lambert insists that's not something he buys into, instead concentrating on "taking care of his team's business" in the four-game run-in.
He said: "I don't do it personally.
"I have a different mentality from a lot of other people. It's probably because I played abroad and things like that.
"It's just something where you have to look after your own. You'll see results and how they go but if you don't take care of your own job? That's first and foremost. That's the priority.
"You have to concentrate on yourself. That's all you can do. That's important for myself - to keep focused on what we do.
"We can't influence what anyone else does. We can only influence our own game.
"If you do that, you see what happens. But you can't see about other results going your way without taking care of your own.
"What I would say is I think there will be swings, going one way and then the other way. There are a lot of permutations about what could happen."
Lambert also insists that playing on Monday instead of Saturday - when Southampton, Wigan, Stoke and Norwich compete - doesn't bother him.
He added: "It doesn't matter to be honest. You can only do what you can do. That's the way it is thrown up and you go with it.
"If you're mentally strong, you focus on what your job is. It doesn't matter then when you play."

I do agree that browser choice is good. However tell that to the goons who are wasting taxpayers money suing MS to get IE off their desktop OSes instead of waking up that since it's a free browser anyways they are NOT loosing money (and people will choose on thier own), so why bother wasting money to pursue the most retarded of cases? All it does is make a 200 dollar OS more not worth the price and hurt the consumer in the long run.
it's as retarded as realnetworks suing over wmp becuase relanetworks knew thier product was crap on a stick. they got jealous of MS for wmp "market share" and just sued them instead of making a superior product. and you had to PAY for things that were FREE in wmp. Realnetworks were retarded that caused thier downfall. let alone thier streaming protocols sucked and network admin's worst nitemare (I was a server/network op and I hated messing with realnetwork's crappy networking stuff, I only had two clients request it vs the vast amounts of flash or wmedia streaming stack)
so this lesson to MS-> do not lock down the phone to only have IE, let it go like windows or we shall have more retarded cases. (pinches nose)

Honestly, I doubt this is gonna make a big impact on the mobile market - reminds me of when the Zune HD was released: big talks, high hopes and then nothing. WP may look great, but a fancy UI is not enough in today's overcrowded smartphone market.
Shame we'll have to wait to Q4 2010. I'm upgrading my phone this summer.
I'm really excited about the gaming features, being able to access your XBL account and continue playing the same game is truthfully epic.
Gaming is pretty much all what I use my iPhone for, in addition to texting, browsing, phone calls and learning Japanese -but all in a limited degree-. I'm not a social person, I care more about gaming
Unlike Apple Microsoft has game studios and more experience in the gaming world, so as a gaming device WP7S can take off and demolish the iPhone. WP7S could be the XBox portable I always wanted
Seems like microsoft is going a few steps backward if they remove multitasking from Windows Phone.
The only real reasoning for this is that most people do not know how to close programs correctly or use task manager to close them.
For example, my sister has a HTC Touch Pro running Windows Mobile 6.5 and she's always complaining about how slow her phone is sometimes. She hands me the phone, I start Task Manager and see she has a pdf reader, 2 games, and internet explorer running in the background! This is not uncommom amongst my non-tech-savvy friends, including those with jailbroken ipods.
I see why microsoft (and apple) would want to limit multitasking in fear of bad reviews from many people, i.e. "OMG!!!1111 I tried the new windows phone at verizn and it was so slow!!!! My iPhone is much better than that POS!"
The only solution to this is to allow multitasking through a option in the setting menu.
Not many people care. To me multitasking is nice to have but not a deal breaker. I'd take a snappy phone over a multitasker any day.
I play games not consoles.
I use gadgets not brands.
why not take the easy interface of windows 7 and adapt it for the phone? have a taskbar like most people are used to and there won't be any problems!
seriously it could work well. I even have a mock up in my head about how simple it would be.
the current windows phone 7 interface incarnation looks like a dumbphone with social networking , zune, and xbox live features tacked on. are people that dumb that they cannot use windows 7?
Think it through and it'll come to you.
I play games not consoles.
I use gadgets not brands.
so... what makes you not want a powerful phone?
I want a phone that cna do it all and nicely.
The phone 7 thing looks like its made for people who have never used a phone before:
1)big ugly tiles that you can see from a hundred feet away instead of nice, crisp pretty icons and a nice font. I love the styling of the nokia interface much better. seems more freindly and approachable then a cold tile and some text. this phone's interface comes off as cold, rigid, and corporate, like a facebook page.
2)people will get bored of the interface very quickly and the gimmiack will wear off extremely quickly, like the nintendo wii's boring simplicity.
3)the interface is hiding the phone's true potential. its running nvida tegra 2 platform which can play DX10 games and is the equivalent to my 4 year old computer on a single chip! But this phone's design looks like it's on a pentium 1! it is downgrading the capabilities of the phone and making it look like it cannot do much but do social networking, and browse the web, like my old sony ericsson phone from 4.5 years ago. This phone can possibly play morrowind or oblivion, but you would never know it by the noob interface and bad design.
4)much of the phone's power is being used for fancy tile animations and fancy transitions, but if it cannot multitask, but can flutter the pages around and stuff and the software locks out doing anything actually productive, then it's just a worthless toy like the nintendo wii is, you can make all kinda of frilly motions and stuff at a bland game and the novelty wears off.
This is the dumbing down of people right here. they will listen to pop music from groups who are all style and no substance, they will play gimmacky game consoles like the nintendo wii, and use an iphone, but will never know what real music is, real games are, and what a true tech product is. All they know is glitter and flair.
The Win7 Series UI reminds me of the LEGOS they made for 3 and under year olds. Big, easy to use, and no way of choking your baby on it ()
what inreface do you like then? linux? I like GNOME with a black compiz theme if I had to choose one. sexay.
I prefer BlackBox myself. But I wouldn't want it on a phone
I play games not consoles.
I use gadgets not brands.

Right now, Marvel is behaving a lot like they just graduated from college. Yes, that "Iron Man" internship opened a lot of doors, but the "Hulk" side venture didn't really yield the results they were hoping for. Their side projects for next summer -- "Thor" and "Captain America" -- do show promise, and it's good to see them taking initiative. But, if reports are to be believed, the folks at the House of Ideas are looking underneath their sofas and mattresses for extra change, because "The Avengers" might be a bit too costly for their inexperience.
Bleeding Cool, in a bit of specious rumor-mongering, claims that, true to form, Marvel is looking to cut costs on their upcoming tentpole that begins shooting next spring. While they don't have any exact sources, or even anonymous quotes, they theorize that Marvel is eying a budget on par with what Sony spent on the original "Spider-Man." Even with "X-Men" breaking out, Sony was memorably gun shy about "Spider-Man," though Box Office Mojo lists the budget at $139 million. Still, considering the first "Spider-Man" featured one superpowered hero and a villain in a plastic robot suit, you'd think the adventures of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Hawkeye and whichever world-beating supervillain would cost, oh, $100 million extra?
The site goes on to point to (apparently) overheard bar conversations between people involved in the movie, where some have plotted their exit from the project, while others intend to keep working, assuming that Marvel finds a way to eventually tack some extra cash onto the budget at the eleventh hour from what is supposedly a very quickly emptying bank account. Shooting is meant to start in spring, in not-that-cheap Manhattan, and if the film clocks in at less than $200 million, that means it will likely be cheaper than fellow 2012 releases "Battleship," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Men In Black 3D," "Star Trek 2" and "John Carter Of Mars." Which... didn't seem likely when Marvel first announced their "Avengers" plans in the wake of "Iron Man."
Bleeding Cool continues to posit that, despite the lack of an official comment from Marvel or "Avengers" distributor Disney, the film's pre-production might be delayed weeks, perhaps even months due to staff turnover. Given the indefinite postponement of Marvel's "Runaways" and the seemingly desperate scheduling of "Iron Man 3" for 2013, it does seem like Marvel is trying to move fast before their parents realized they graduated without a stout financial plan. It will be interesting to see how this rumor plays out in the coming weeks; a number of actors have obviously cleared their schedules and turned down offers to reprise their roles and Marvel will want to make sure they keep their talent, already agreeing to modest pay for the gig, happy.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Sam, we've interacted before, I hope you are well. In the state of VA I was convicted of a sexual assault in 2010 and one of the conditions of the plea agreement was that I am not able to have any contact with any of my children unless a court of competent jurisdiction grants such contact. Here's my question, the normal mechanism for a court granting said contact would be during a custody/visitation hearing granting such visitation HOWEVER, for the meantime that option is not available because the judge has ruled that he will not grant me legal visitation with my children, however do you believe that he has the authority to modify the "no contact" portion of this criminal plea agreement as a stand alone order outside visitation or custody orders. In effect, just no longer making it a criminal offense to see my child or write them a letter. Obviously, 21 days has passed. Thanks, Andy
And thank you for contacting me to help you with this matter
The answer is no. The no contact was via a criminal court and part of a plea agreement So a civil court cannot modify that order.
Sam, what do you mean when you say a civil court cannot modify the criminal order when the criminal order specifically says, "no contact with children unless a court of competent jurisdiction grants such contact." Do you mean to say that that doesn't include a civil court? It would normally be during a custody or visitation hearing that that kind of order would be modified. Correct? Thanks, Andy
So your position is that even though 21 days have passed there is no issue with a judge modifying the conditions of his own criminal order and removing the No Contact condition associated the criminal plea agreement. Thanks and I will accept, Andy

(Medical Sciences Video Archive)
|Sir Brian Windeyer KBE (1909-1994)
in interview with Sir Gordon Wolstenholme
Main subjects discussed: radiotherapy; Middlesex Hospital Medical School; Medical Schools of London University; Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney; Fondation Curie, Paris; Marie Curie; Claudius Regaud; Meyerstein Institute of Radiotherapy, Middlesex Hospital; Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middlesex.
Sir Brian Windeyer was professor of radiology (therapeutic) from 1942 to 1969, and dean from 1954 to 1967, at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. He also served as dean of the Faculty of Medicine of London University from 1964 to 1968, and then vice-chancellor of the University from 1969 to 1972. Sir Brian begins the interview by discussing his Australian family background, education at Sydney Church of England Grammar School, and medical studies at the University of Sydney, where he was also a keen sportsman, rowing in the college crew and playing rugby in the university team. Sir Brian then talks of interviewing prospective medical students when he was dean at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, and of how the admission policy did not rely solely on examination results. The interview moves to the period when he was dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of London and the discussions that took place about possible mergers of the medical schools within the University. The interview then returns to his early career and Sir Brian talks of the two-year period as an assistant at the Fondation Curie, Paris, after leaving the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, where he worked in house jobs and as a radium registrar, after qualifying in 1927. He speaks of meeting Marie Curie at the Fondation Curie, and training under the direction of Claudius Regaud, one of the pioneers of radiotherapy. The interview then progresses to Sir Brian's distinguished career in radiotherapy at the Middlesex Hospital. In 1931 he was appointed radium officer at the Middlesex Hospital and he became the medical officer in charge of the Meyerstein Institute of Radiotherapy, which was created in 1936. During the war he was director of the emergency medical service radiotherapy department at Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middlesex, and after the war he became director of the Meyerstein Institute and of the radiotherapy department at Mount Vernon Hospital. He was made the first professor of radiology (therapeutic) at the Middlesex Hospital in 1942. In the interview Sir Brian discusses with Sir Gordon Wolstenholme some aspects of radiotherapy during the early years of its development in the UK. There follows some discussion of radiological protection and mention is made of Sir Brian's chairmanship of the Radiological Protection Board.

SchreckNet is a computer network created and maintained by the Nosferatu in the Classic World of Darkness.
Originally created by the New York-based Nosferatu Gerard Rafin (Uncle Smelly) as a sort of special network "piggybacked" on the regular Internet, it is used exclusively for communications among the Nosferatu, primarily as a means for the Nosferatu to keep their intelligence gathering operations up-to-date. The Nosferatu used SchreckNet to share secrets and information, as well as discuss plans and goals. Membership was not limited to Camarilla-aligned Nosferatu, but was open to the antitribu as well. During the Camarilla's siege of Sabbat-occupied New York, the Nosferatu grudgingly gave other Camarilla clans limited access to SchreckNET, though the lion's share of its usage by far remains with the Nosferatu.

"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything."
–Wyatt Earp
Being quick on the draw surely helped the gunfighters of the Old West survive; however, being able to shoot on target was perhaps more important. The same is true when it comes to investing. Making fast decisions with your money is fine, but being accurate in your decision is everything. The moral of this story is to not be too concerned with getting in the market quickly. It's definitely more important to buy the right stocks, bonds, ETFs, etc., than it is to rush in headlong for the sake of a speedy decision.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Have any of the other charges been dropped?
Ok. The first thing you need to do is get your son a criminal law attorney and work on having these other charges dismissed as this appears to be a mistaken identity issue.
Also, your son can sue the law enforcement agency for malicious prosecution, abuse of process, unlawful detainer, false imprisonment and assault for his mistreatment and the false accusations made against him.
But, the first thing is to get these charges addressed.

The Museum of Florida Art has a vibrant new look inside and out, thanks to the recent gift of Harold Garde's "Iconoclass" mural.
The epic 24-foot-by-8-foot mural, comprised of 16 panels, was given to the DeLand museum for its permanent collection by the Garde family.
The complete work of art hasn't been on public display in 35 years — so it's an occasion. It will first be unveiled at an invitation-only reception on Saturday, April 28.

You need quite a lot pans and pots for this, or at least more than I normally use on a normal weekday. First I wanted to slowly brown the onions in a skillet, but then I decided to just throw them in with the tomatoes and the garlic.
They got soft and mild in flavor in the oven, rather sweet too. Just like the garlic.
I used two types of lentils because I loved how it looked, but the red ones kind of lose their color and turn a less interesting brown.
Bavette with Lentils, Roasted Tomatoes and Onions
2 Tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic
2 shallots
a sprig of rosemary
4 tablespoons lentils, I used a mix of regular brown lentils and little red lentils
pasta (about 250g)
salt, pepper and olive oil
Oil a baking dish lightly with olive oil. Cut the tomatoes into about 1cm thick slices. Place them on the dish, sprinkle with a bit of olive oil and salt. Add the garlic cloves, the shallots (both whole) and the rosemary and put them in the oven at about 180°C for about half an hour. In the meantime, cook your lentils according to the directions on the bag (for about 20 minutes, until tender). Put another pot with water (for the pasta) and bring to a boil. Add salt and the pasta and cook until al dente. For bavette this should take around 10 minutes, but I usually just try them often and do not watch the clock. Just before the pasta is done, take the roasted tomatoes out of the oven, pull the outer layers of the shallots and cut the tender parts in pieces. Do the same with the garlic and cut the tomato slices in to 2 or 4 pieces. Put that all on the drained pasta, season with salt, pepper and a little bit of olive oil. Mix and serve.
Serves 2.

Terming the CSO estimate of 5 per cent growth rate for this fiscal "below potential", Chief Economic Advisor Raghuram Rajan today said the country needs to pursue policies to push growth to at least 8 per cent.
"CSO's estimate of 5 per cent or 5.5 per cent growth (for 2012-13) is way below potential. We do need to up growth, we need to undertake policies that will enable us to reach at least to 8 per cent, which people think is bound to our potential growth," Rajan said while delivering lecture at a Symposium organised by Citi-MIT Sloan here.
As per the advance estimates of the CSO, which was released yesterday, the GDP growth rate for the current fiscal is estimated to be at 5 per cent, the lowest in a decade. The economy grew by 6.2 per cent in 2011-12 fiscal.
Rajan further added that there was some problem in CSO's estimate of GDP growth.
"One of the problem with the CSO estimate is that it is based on past data, and at turning points in GDP growth. Looking at past data underestimate change," he said.
The CSO's estimate was sharply lower than that of RBI and government which had projected the economic growth at 5.5 per cent and 5.7 per cent, respectively, for this fiscal year.
Rajan also stressed on the need to contain fiscal deficit.
"We need to fix the fiscal deficit. We can't keep running large fiscal deficit and borrowing to finance it. This is where Finance Minister has made a firm commitment that this year's fiscal deficit will be 5.3 per cent," he said.
The government had earlier enhanced the fiscal deficit target for the current fiscal from 5.1 per cent to 5.3 per cent in view of higher expenditure for meeting additional outgo towards subsidies.
On widening current account deficit (CAD), which rose to a record high of 5.4 per cent of GDP, or USD 22.3 billion, in the July-September quarter of current fiscal, Rajan said: "CAD is certainly a source of concern. Currently we are running a large CAD, which we will have to manage."

In the Lotto, two numbers, one from 1 - 30 and a second from 31 - 60 are chosen, with each choice independent from the other and each of the possible numbers is equally likely to be chosen. If you match one number you receive $5 and if you match both numbers you receive $500. It costs $1 per play. Write a program that simulates playing the Lotto one million times. At the end of the simulation, print out the following:
1) The number of times exactly one number was matched.
2) The number of times exactly two numbers were matched.
3) The amount of money lost after buying the million lotto tickets.
For your simulation, you'll choose one winning lotto combination. Then, you'll simulate randomly choosing a million tickets, tallying up the winnings of each ticket.
Note: If you write the simulation properly, there is virtually no chance that you'll make money.
Sample Program Run:
You matched 1 number 64222 times.
You matched 2 numbers 1107 times.
You lost $125390.
I have this so far:
import random Match_One_Number = $5 Match_Two_Numbers = $500 Cost_Per_Play = $1 MAX_LOTTO_NUM1 = 30 MAX_LOTTO_NUM2 = 60 NUM_LOTTO_TRIALS = 1000000 def main(): # Seed the random number generator. random.seed() count = 0 total = 0 # Run the game NUM_LOTTO_TRIALS times. # def playLotto(): # Get first Lotto number. LOTTO_NUM1 = random.randint (1, MAX_LOTTO_NUM1) # Get second Lotto number. LOTTO_NUM2 = random.randint (31, MAX_LOTTO_NUM2)

WHAT'S ON TAP: The No. 9 California women's tennis team travels south to take on Arizona and Arizona State, after splitting their first two Pac-10 matches last weekend at home.
PREVIOUSLY: Cal opened the Pac-10 season with two different outcomes last weekend. The Bears blanked Oregon, 7-0, on Saturday, but then fell to No. 1 Stanford, 6-1, the following day.
A QUICK GLANCE AT THE BEARS' OPPONENT: In their only match last week, the Wildcats of Arizona upset No. 25 ASU, 5-2. Arizona took two of three doubles matches and four of six singles matches to beat the Sun Devils in Tempe. The Wildcats as a team are ranked No. 31. Junior Dianne Hollands is ranked No. 34. Junior Maja Mlakar is now ranked No. 66. As a duo, the two are ranked No. 18 in doubles action at 5-0 on the year. ASU split against two state rivals, shutting out Northern Arizona, 7-0 and falling to Arizona, 5-2. The Sun Devils rely on six freshmen, who play major roles in dual meet action. This week marks the first time since the 1996 season, the Sun Devils are not ranked in the top-25, falling from No. 25 to No. 33 in the ITA rankings. The freshmen doubles team of Kady Pooler and Rebecca Rankin are 20th in the country.
LYNCH'S STREAK STOPPED AT 10: Senior Catherine Lynch fell for the first time in 11 matches against No. 12 Erin Burdette of Stanford, 6-4, 6-3. Before that match, Lynch had won 10 in a row dating back to Jan. 30 when she started the month-long streak by defeating Cecilia Holland of Sacramento State, 6-1, 6-1. When the streak began Lynch's record sat at 6-6, now she is tied for the team lead in victories, and has a 16-7overall record. In fact, after closer examination six of Lynch's seven losses have come to ranked opponents.
TWO BEARS LOOK FOR MILESTONE VICTORIES: The fore-mentioned Lynch and fellow senior Jieun Jacobs look to make history this weekend, as they strive for their 100th victories as Bears. Jacobs is 13-5 on the season and sits at 99 career victories. Lynch entered the season with 83 career victories and has added 16 more to that total giving her 99 as a Bear. The two will get their first shot at this milestone Friday in Tucson.
MARQUEE MATCHES: Raquel Kops-Jones was able to sweep her two matches this weekend against two of the best players in the country. First, Kops-Jones upended No. 7 Daria Panova of Oregon 6-1, 6-2, in the Bears 7-0 victory over the Ducks. Sunday, the Cal senior defeated Stanford's No. 1 player Amber Lui, who would probably be ranked in the ITA's top-10, if she did not sit out the fall tournament season. Kops-Jones, 6-3, 6-2, victory over her Bay Area rival, was her 16th victory of the season.
BACK ON THE COURT: Freshman Sasha Podkolzina, returned to action last weekend, after sitting out the past three months with an assortment of ailments, including a bout with mononucleosis. Podkolzina only played doubles, pairing with senior Nicole Havlicek winning one of two matches.
RANKED BEARS: Kops-Jones sits at No. 2 in the country, followed by No. 21 Podkolzina, No. 79 Jieun Jacobs, No. 88 Lynch and No. 94 Jody Scheldt.
BROGAN'S LEGACY: In her 25 years at Cal, Jan Brogan has molded the Golden Bear program into one of the best in the country, guiding the Bears to 22 NCAA appearances, three AIAW showings and 18 Top 10 finishes since 1982. Brogan has also produced four national champion doubles teams, 54 All-Americans, 15 first team All-Pac-10 selections and three conference player of the year honorees. She currently boasts a 470-187 (.715) dual match record, making her the fourth active winningest coach in NCAA history.

NSF-Navy Civilian Service Fellowship-Scholarship Program
This solicitation has been archived.
National Science Foundation
4201 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington, Virginia 22230
Dear Colleague:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of the
Navy would like to call your attention to an opportunity to apply
for supplemental funding in areas identified below, of technical
interest to the Navy, under the provisions of the jointly-funded
NSF-Navy Civilian Service (NNCS) Fellowship-Scholarship Program.
This program supports students at the bachelors, masters, or doctoral
levels in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) who agree to commit to spending a year as a
civilian employee at a Naval R&D Center for each year of support
The NNCS program has three goals: (1) to ensure the economic future
of the Nation by increasing the number and diversity of US citizens
pursuing advanced degrees in the STEM professions, (2) to strengthen
Navy ties with the university research community to facilitate
the transfer of promising technology to the Navy in a timely fashion,
and (3) to ensure the future of the Navy's research enterprise
by providing new career entry pathways for talented STEM professionals.
This program invites university PI's who are currently supported
by an NSF award from the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), or
have a Science and Technology Center (STC), Integrative Graduate
Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT), Nanoscale Interdisciplinary
Research Team (NIRT), or Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center
(NSEC) award to apply for support for their eligible students who
are working in areas of interest to one of the Navy's R&D
Centers.The faculty member must also partner with a scientist or
engineer at one of the Navy R&D Centers and have that person
listed as co-PI on the proposal. Proposals
submitted without a Navy co-PI will be returned without review. The funding will be
provided for up to two years of fellowship/scholarship support
plus a cost of education allowance. At the completion of their
degrees, the students will accept civilian employment at a Navy
R&D Center for one year for each year of support received.
Areas of technical interest to the Navy are described along with
relevant contact information at the following website: http://www.nstarweb.com/careers.html.
In addition to the areas listed on the website, any
research related to countering the threat of Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs) remains a high priority for the Navy. Fundable
proposals will provide clear evidence of collaboration with Navy
R&D Centers both
in the formulation of the proposal and the completion of the proposed
research. Specifically, in addition to Co-Principal Investigator
(co-PI) status it is expected that appropriate Center personnel
will serve on the advisory committee of the students who are supported
in this program, play an active role in the development of a student's
research project and its execution, and will work with the student
and the student's advisor to find suitable Center employment
upon the student's graduation. It is expected that a student
will spend some portion of each calendar year while supported by
this program working at the collaborating Center on a summer internship
or similar arrangement.
In addition to funding for students, this program provides the
PI with the opportunity for close interaction with colleagues at
the Center and opportunities for funded professional development.
Preference will be given to proposals with comprehensive and innovative
plans to promote the professional development of the student. For
undergraduate students, an identification of features that will
be added to the traditional curriculum to develop and enhance the
students' research skills is encouraged. An effective plan
for recruiting a highly qualified and diverse pool of students
should be included in the proposal.
It is critical that the proposals contain a clear plan to evaluate
and assess the effectiveness of this program in terms of the student
and program outcomes in both the near and far term as viewed by
the students, the PI, and the collaborating Center. Proposals should
include (as a minimum) provisions for measuring:
NSF's Fastlane system should be used to prepare and submit
these requests for supplemental funding (https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/).
The Supplemental Funding Request can be accessed through the "Awards
Status" function, under the "Award and Reporting" functions.
The Budget, Justification for Supplement, and Supplementary Docs
sections of the Supplemental Funding Request should be completed
according to the guidelines below.
In the Justification for Supplement, awardee institutions are
expected to clearly articulate management and administrative plans
for the following program elements:
The Justification for Supplement should not exceed 8 pages.
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will provide assistance in
identifying potential partners within the naval research enterprise.
Proposals should include a letter of support in the Supplementary
Docs section from the partner Navy R&D center indicating the
nature and level of the proposed collaborative activity.
Eligible undergraduate students must be US citizens who are juniors
or seniors eligible for security clearance (see below) with a GPA
of 3.0/4.0 or greater. Eligible graduate students must be US citizens
who are eligible for security clearance (see below) and ready to
commence full-time research, having passed any required qualifying
exams and completed most or all of the required course work, and
be involved in projects of mutual interest to their advisors and
the Navy. The award amounts will be:
These costs should be included in the budget as participant support.
Funding should be requested to cover student travel to conferences
and a minimum of one NNCS required event per year. This should
also be included in the budget as participant support.
The Navy will administer the awards with the students and ensure
compliance with service requirements. Undergraduate and Masters
students who complete their degrees while supported by this program
and who elect to pursue an advanced degree will be allowed to re-apply
for support from this program.
After the award is made to the university, students recruited
into the program must demonstrate to the Navy their eligibility
for a security clearance. The student must provide a written curriculum
vita and proof of United States citizenship to the Navy in the
form of either a copy of a state birth certificate or passport.
All students will be expected to sign a contract agreeing to provide
one year of full-time service as a civilian employee of the Navy
following the completion of their degree for each year of support
they receive. Failure to provide the required service will obligate
the student to repay the full amount of the stipend and tuition
assistance received.
No indirect costs may be charged on these supplements, but PIs
may request up to 10 percent of the total participant support budget
to address the management and administrative costs associated with
the program and may request up to an additional 5 percent of the
total participant support budget to cover expenses for curriculum,
laboratory, and faculty development costs in support of the program.
The Navy will provide support for the participation of mentors/co-PI
at the partnering naval facility.
A panel selected by NSF /Navy staff will review the proposals.
The deadline for
proposals is June 30, 2006. Awards will be made
by August 31, 2006.
Depending on the availability of funds and quality of proposals
we anticipate that we will fund up to a total of 14 awards for
two years at an award size not to exceed $250,000. The anticipated
funding amount for the NNCS Fellowship/Scholarship program is $3,500,000
for FY 2006 awards.
Potential PIs are encouraged to contact Dr. Deba Dutta, Acting
Director, Division of Graduate Education email@example.com, 703-292-7415)
at NSF to discuss details of the program. Those seeking help with
identifying potential Navy partners should contact Dr. Ernest McDuffie,
Deputy Director, N-Star (email@example.com, 703-696-6816)
at ONR.
We look forward to reviewing innovative and competitive proposals.

Rhi1984 replied to Frank89's topic in Audio & ElectronicsHello! I have a fiesta edge 2012 with the same problem, I took it to ford and they checked the software but it was up to date. They then told me that I needed to purchase the USB y cable with a jack for £28. I told them that the USB has always worked and I have never needed the jack. They kept telling me that it wouldn't have worked, but it definitely did! I have resigned myself to the fact that it must be because my phone updated onto iOS 6. It worked fine before then. Hoping apple will sort something out, but it's very annoying!

The CCCC is an appointed government advisory board made up of separate individuals who volunteer to serve as a voice for all of Carson City in matters regarding arts and culture. They then bring that voice, with advice, to the Board of Supervisors in an effort to coordinate all levels of government resources in ways that simultaneously benefit the cultural community and community at-large. The Commission is subject to the open meeting law and, therefore, cannot meet as a group to discuss and work on issues outside their quarterly meetings.
The CCACC is a group of individual arts and culture entities who are practitioners of the craft – they are the producers of arts and culture expressed, exhibited and available in Carson City. They are made up of private for-profit folks, private not-for-profit folks and public institutions run by the State or City.
No. The CCACC should be focused on sticking together and helping each other "practice the craft." If the grassroots group doesn't stick together to help each other they loose their valuable partnership synergies, and together they're much stronger. The Cultural Commission
NOTE: This is where the Carson City Arts and Culture Coalition might come in … when they request the "commission" consider their recommendations on how certain available government funds be directed toward, say, public buildings or programs that accommodate the needs of the CCACC, the practitioners, of Carson City's arts and culture community.
Cultural Commissioners serve staggered terms, meaning one or more Commissioner terms usually expire each December. Go to the Volunteer Opportunities page of the City's website to see current applications being solicited for commission vacancies.

MUMBAI: Rating agencies today said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's assumption of containing fiscal deficit at 4.1 per cent of GDP is difficult to achieve given the poor outlook on the revenue front and absence of reduction in subsidies.
"The fiscal deficit target will be hard to achieve. The government is betting on a sharp increase in revenues in a slow growth year," rating agency Crisil said in a note today.

Home > News > Press Releases > Dealing With Symptoms of Menopause
Published on July 17, 2014
To schedule an appointment, please contact us at 1-800-CK-HEALTH (1-800-254-3258).
Sure, aging is a natural part of life. But that doesn't mean we have to accept it (and everything that comes along with it) with open arms and smiles on our faces—but we can make it easier for ourselves.
Menopause is one of those phases in a woman's life that can be difficult to accept and adjust to. And when you add in uncomfortable symptoms, such as hot flashes and sleeplessness, it only makes it worse. However, you don't have to suffer through the symptoms without relief.
Here are some of the most common symptoms of menopause and ways to manage them:
Hot Flashes: If you're dealing with hot flashes, there are a few different tricks for staying cool. For one, try to observe what triggers your hot flashes, such as spicy foods, alcohol, stress, or caffeine, and avoid them. Other ways to stay cool include dressing in layers (you can remove them during a hot flash) and using a fan at home or work. If those ideas don't help, talk to your doctor about menopausal hormone therapy, birth control pills, or other prescription medications that may reduce hot flashes.
Mood Swings: Irritability and mood swings are also common among menopausal women, and it's important to ensure you're getting enough sleep and staying active during the day to help you feel your best. Additionally, avoid taking on too many projects and/or responsibilities to help ease your stress; instead, devote your time to more relaxing activities that you enjoy. If the transition of menopause is difficult to cope with, consider seeing a therapist or joining a support group of other women to help you stay positive.
Memory Problems: Although researchers have not found a lot of evidence to support a connection between menopause and memory loss, getting plenty of sleep and staying physically active may help improve these functions. If memory problems begin affecting your daily life, see your doctor.
Vaginal Dryness: If sex has become uncomfortable due to vaginal dryness, consider purchasing a water-based, over-the-counter vaginal lubricant or moisturizer to apply beforehand.
Sleep Problems: Many women find that they struggle with sleep problems as a result of menopause as well. To get a good night's sleep, you may need to make a few lifestyle changes, such as exercising during the day (but not too close to bedtime) as well as avoiding large meals, smoking, and working right before bed. Your bedroom should also be dark, quiet, and cool. Additionally, try to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day.
Crozer-Keystone offers an array of programs for women before, during and after menopause. Some services are provided right in your doctor's office, while others are conveniently located at facilities throughout the Crozer-Keystone Health System. To schedule an appointment, please contact us at 1-800-CK-HEALTH (1-800-254-3258).

Sorry to all Massa suporters, but Massa smply does not have the race craft to be a winner. He can certainly drive a few quick laps but cannot maintain the pace over 2 hours.
I am certain that Ferrari do not plan for him to finnish so far behind Alonso and loose valuable points in the Manufacturers Championship.
I can only think Massa is there because Alonso would not like a young tiger as his No 2.

Cairo paper says Israeli-Arab detained after infiltrating Taba crossing; man says he's 'persecuted by Israeli government.' He previously spent six months in Lebanese jail
Roi Kais
Latest Update: 01.12.13, 19:58 / Israel News
Roi Kais
Egypt's al-Ahram weekly reported Saturday that an Israeli-Arab man was detained by authorities over the weekend after he illegally infiltrated the border.
security sources said that the man, Ahmad Daif,
who was detained near the Taba crossing, had no form of identification on his person.
Related stories:
According to the report, Daif said he was a resident of Tel Aviv and that he wanted to apply for "political asylum" in Egypt
because he felt "persecuted by the Israeli government."
He further told investigators that he fled to Egypt because "he felt safe there."
Daif, 32, was previously arrested by the authorities in Lebanon in September 2011 after drifting into the country's waters while diving. He was returned to Israel last March, after spending six months in Lebanese prison.
"He's been at home the whole time since he got back," Daif's brother, Khaled Daif, said. "About a week ago he told us he found a job at a Tel Aviv restaurant."
The family hasn't been in touch with Daif after he left last week, and learned he was arrested in Egypt from the news.
"We don't understand why he is behaving this way," the brother said. "He isn't in want of anything."
Another relative said that the family couldn't believe Daif had the nerve to "repeat the same mistake he made last year."
The Egyptian prosecution has reportedly remanded the man for four days, pending further investigation.
Two weeks ago, Cairo authorities arrested 24-year-old Israeli national Andre Pshenichnikov
on suspicion of espionage. Pshenichnikov has been remanded for 15 days.

Recently, PSU reported that online retailer Amazon.co.uk was offering the PlayStation 3 titles LAIR and Folklore for the reduced price of GBP 14.99 each.
Very impressive prices for the featured dragon action adventure and majestic journey through a fantasy world in Folklore, the two games skyrocketed to Amazon's top buy list in a matter of minutes and were quickly sold out.
However, much to the regret of consumers who sought to reap the advantage of this deal, Amazon.co.uk has now cancelled the offer in the form of the following e-mail:
"Dear Customer
We are writing to inform you that the price for the following item was
displayed incorrectly at the time you placed the above referenced
Folklore (PS3)
Despite our best efforts, with the millions of items available on our
website, pricing errors can occasionally occur.
In our Pricing and Availability Policy (see
we state that where an item's correct price is higher than our stated
price, we will cancel the order and notify you of that cancellation.
Your order has now been cancelled. If you still wish to purchase this
item, please place a new order online which will be charged at the
correct price, when we dispatch it to you.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by
this error, and rest assured that we will continue to make every effort
to maintain the accuracy of all prices on our site.
We look forward to serving you again in the future.
Warmest regards,
Amazon.co.uk "
The company has since re-evaluated its pricing strategy for both titles and they are now available for pre-order at GBP 34.99 each. However, with many consumers left disappointed at Amazon's blunder, we at PSU can only offer our condolences for what should have been a rudimentary order process.
Folklore is due to ship in Europe from October 12, with Lair following on October 19.

'Ello there!
It's been awhile. Yes it has indeed. But I've come out from hiding (yes, that's exactly what I have been doing) to talk about Realm of the Mad God, which is maddeningly good. Maddening because you'll hate it. And good because you'll love it.
Yes that makes a lot of sense. Read on for more of this maddening writing (and game)!
Realm of the Mad God is at its simplest an MMORPG. You traverse an 8-bit world as one of a whole slew of classes pounding the hurt on various monsters, collecting lots of loot, upgrading your character and then taking on the big overlord boss of the entire realm in an epic fashion: that is, the entire cohort of gamers on the server at one time gets transported to this big boss Oryx and everyone works together to take him down.
Here's where it gets interesting:
1. Realm of the Mad God is free to play in your browser (with non-compulsory micro-transactions). So maybe you were doing research for a thesis paper, or at work sending some emails, and feel like a little break. So jump straight into the game. Very convenient. Until you realize you've been playing for 5 hours straight OMFGWHEREHASMYTIMEGONESHITMUSTPLAYSOMEMORE
2. It's persistent, it's an RPG so you get to save your character. Your very own little being in this great big dangerous world that levels up the more you play, and the more loot you bestow on it.
3. Heck there's a lot of lewt. Every other monster is dropping this or that thing and shit, your inventory space is only 8 boxes big, so you can only carry 8 things. And the crazy thing is, in just a short 20 minutes, you'd have come across some of the game's best items and your inventory will be crammed with all sorts of goodies. And more keep pouring out! Aaargh not enough inventory space what do I do!??! Do I drop behind this top-tier staff for this other top-tier shield even though I don't play this class? But I don't want the asshole tagging along behind me to pick it up! I want it all!!!!
4. And that's not even the end of your worries. The game is crazy fast-paced, more akin to a twin stick bullet hell game than your classic dungeon-crawling RPG. Bullets are flying left right centre, and you're actually dodging it at a neck-breaking speed while dealing your own pew pews of death. Maybe you're level 19, about to hit 20 and carrying all this good gear, looking forward to taking on the big boss of doom when suddenly, a stray bullet hits you and your screen fades to black.
5. Oh no! WTF you died! And guess what, your entire character wipes. Yessiree, it's hardcore mode from Diablo 2. All that lewt, all that great treasures of the realm you hoard all gone. Your hard work getting to level 20 all gone! RAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHH mega-rage, and then you play again.
Then a realization hits you, that Realm of the Mad God is a truly maddening and sadistic game. There's a reason why there is only so much inventory and stash box space. You just won't have enough space to collect all the l33t gear (unless you pay for more space and I'm trying very hard to fight the temptation because heck, the convenience would really help). And on top of that, death is always just around the corner. Get your guard down just so you can lewt that poor sod who died before you and some monster's going to breathe down your neck and kill you. Think you're invincible with high level gear? Some monster better than you is going to kill you all the same. Want to play this top-tier class? You're going to have to get several lower level classes to 20 before you can. So you keep playing.
It's the classic RPG at its most distilled. There are no NPCs in this world, no shops to buy anything from. Everything you'll need, everything you'll want can either be gained from killing monsters or found when other players with too little inventory space drop stuff. Half the game is spent running around Nexus (the safe zone in the game), jammed to the rafters with other players, picking up dropped lewt bags left by other people who couldn't carry anymore. And the other half of the game is spent killing monsters for no real narrative reason at all.
Then combat is the simplest thing. You can press T and have your character continually fire a stream of bullets at the enemy, all you have to do is point your cursor at the enemy till its dead. And press space bar on occasion to use your class' special ability. The problem of course is that there'll be plenty more monsters pointing their bullets right back at you.
And in typical MMO fashion, XP is equally shared across all people fighting the same monsters. You don't even need to be in the same party; so long as you teleport to a group of players fighting high level monsters, you don't have to lift a finger to level up continually. It's brilliant, and sometimes you'll see these massive trains of players just wiping a realm clean. All these green numbers denoting the amount of XP you're gaining just continually climbing. Also means you don't have to play the game 24/7 in order to get to the highest level. In just 30 minutes or so, you should reach level 20 - if you haven't died yet.
Death is the worst though. It's the absolute worst. All your hard work leveling your character to 20, all your careful lewt collecting, all that wiped completely clean in an instant because you were careless with a stray bullet or failed to defend yourself from a huge swarm of high level monsters. It's sickening because there is nothing else to do in the game other than keep fighting (or grinding, for the cynical) so when you die, you start straight from level 1 and get right back out there. Only to die again.
In fact, the only way you can survive the meta-game of Realm of the Mad God is to not let it get to you. Not let it make you feel the most utter hatred for the game developers, not let it get to you that they sucked your life and soul for a measly little browser MMO that is somehow also seemingly one of the most compulsively brilliant games of the year. Damn... because after awhile, you'll know that all you're doing is the same thing over and over with little reprieve or enlightenment. There is no enlightenment, this is the role-playing gamer's personal hell and heck, they love it. I love it.
It certainly trains you to realize the transient nature of every RPG game, of loot-hoarding compulsions, of the pointlessness of fighting. It really all doesn't matter. But you keep coming back for more anyway.
Nice one Oryx. Well played. Sure, we can kill you over and over and keep farming your nice lewt. As long as you're keeping us in the realm forever, you win.

Unlike most MMOs, XP is not split among players. Instead everyone gets the full XP. For example if a monster is worth 100XP and there are 5 players nearby, in a normal MMO, each person gets 100÷5 = 20. In RotMG, each person gets the full 100. The goal was that there should never be a time when another person joining your group makes you worse off (it's not completely true but that's one of the guiding principles).ReplyDelete
