Yesterday, we had a really bad motorcycle accident in our little town. Out on the bypass, a bunch of motorcyclists were approaching the town at a high rate of speed. Evidently, the lead cyclist slowed to make a left hand turn. Just then, a cop drove by coming the other way. The #2 cyclist looked back to see if the cop was going to turn around. That's when he hit the turning bike at an estimated 180 miles an hour. Both cycles exploded on impact. The bikes and what was left of the riders (both were wearing helmets but were killed instantly) landed 240 yards from the point of impact -- that's 2.5 football fields.
This all happened in front of an elementary school in the late afternoon. Thankfully, the school had let out and there were no kids around. What on earth were these guys thinking? Both were in their mid-30's going 180 mph in front of a school. Both were riding pocket rocket rice burners.

Barça Alusport secures their first ever UEFA Futsal Cup Final Four berth after drawing with Araz
The team quickly took the lead through Wilde and Lozano, but Araz fought back to tie the match in the final minutes of the game
Match Stats
FCB: Cristian, Torras, Gabriel, Javi Rodríguez, Lozano, Sedano, Ari Santos, Fernandão, Lin, Saad, Tolrà i Wilde.
Araz: Tveryankin, Felipe, Tota, Farzaliyev, Borisov, Salyanski, Fuste, Farajzade, Thiago, Dantas, Mammadkarimov and Amadeu.
GOALS: 1-0, Wilde, min 10; 2-0, Lozano, min 15; 2-1, Farajzade, min 19, and 2-2, Amadeu, min 35.
Attendance: 3.184 espectadors.
Barça's futsal team has secured its first berth in the UEFA Final Four Futsal Cup. After beating Era Pack 6-0 and scoring another four on Eindhoven, the team only needed a draw against Araz to secure top spot in their Elite Round group. In the Palau, with Sandro Rosell watching, Barça ensured their passage to the next round by drawing against Araz.
History repeats itself
The third game of the Elite Round started off much like the previous two, with Barça Alusport playing an offensive style against a rather conservative Araz. Most of the play was concentrated on the visitor's end of the court as Araz shamelessly ceded complete control to the Azulgranas. Carmona's men pressured high and passed the ball with speed, they tried to breakdown Araz's defence with exterior shots but were stalled from the get go.
Two goals and an inconvenient scare
It wasn't until the tenth minute of the match that Barça was able to score. Gabriel won back the ball and quickly laid it off to Wilde, who was unforgiving with his shot. A short time after, Lozano managed to score Barça's second when his shot when through the keeper's legs. Cristian, once again pivotal for his team, allowed Barça to play at will, but ex-Barça manager Alessio spurred his team to fight back and score a goal with eight seconds to go before the break. Both teams retired to the dressing room at the half with 2-1 on the scoreboard.
Surprising draw
The goal in the final seconds of the first half put Barça on high alert. The Azulgranas knew that they had to maintain their concentration throughout the second half. Barça tried to optimize their opportunities but were unable to capitalize. Ari Santos, almost scored Barça's third but his shot went wide. Araz, on the other hand, bided their time and defended well. With five minutes to go, the Azerbaijanis struck back and tied the game through Amadeu.
Nervous final minutes
The final minutes were wrought with tension. The Palau, Barça's sixth man, rushed to aid Barça Alusport to hold the draw. The cheering Palau picked up the slack from a tired and nervous Barça Alusport. Araz put everything on the line when they introduced a player-keeper. But Barça held. At the end, the Clués with a draw, ensured a spot in their first ever UEFA Final Four.

School budget issues were a major feature of Monday night's board of supervisors meeting.
School Board Chairman Gary Hostutler came before the supervisors to ask for $2 million in one time funding. His request covered eight items.
Hostutler asked for money to fund a new central office phone system at a cost of $17,000. He also asked for $50,000 for school security. He said this would finish the job of providing a controlled entrance at all schools, requiring visitors to be buzzed in.

Bedford Town Council adopted a budget last week that contains a hike in the meals tax rate. However, the transient occupancy tax rate will stay where it is.
On Saturday, April 30, Bedford County 911 dispatchers received a call from a homeowner on Trapper Lane, off Stewartsville Road in the Stewartsville area of the county, who reported finding a barrel at their residence containing possible human remains.
Bedford County sheriff's deputies and investigators responded and determined the remains were human. The caller told the investigators that the barrel belonged to Robert Wozniak, according to Major Ricky Gardner of the Bedford County Sheriff's Office.
According to Susan Shutt, the Bedford CASA manager, the Bedford CASA office, which covers the town and the county, had 408 cases last year. This was the highest caseload of any CASA office in Central Virginia.

Earlier this week, health officials with the Missoula City-County Health Department told three Western Montana Fair food vendors to dump out hundreds of pounds of various food items after they weren't properly refrigerated.
Health officials tell NBC Montana that the vendors in question are Route 66, Delightful Goodies and the Candy Stand.
Officials noted some food packaging appeared puffy, which means that bacteria could have popped up on the food.
According to health officials they are all North Star vendors. However, Kelsey McKay, an office manager for a subcontractor, told NBC Montana the vendors are actually run by a different subcontractor.
McKay says North Star assigned her to deal with the tainted meat situation. She told NBC Montana that she doesn't know the name of that other subcontractor's company, but said the woman who runs it replaced a different manager who had been let go, and she was trying to play catch up for an operation that had not been properly managed in the past.
"The food that had to be disposed of was food that had not been properly rotated from the previous manager -- was left in a freezer -- and she was not aware of it actually being there to begin with," said McKay.
McKay said the woman had no intention of selling the tainted product or saving it.
"She was not aware that there was that problem there until they went to go inspect the stock trucks and she realized that that freezer, somebody had unplugged a cord. She wasn't aware of that and that there had been some old food in there from a long time previous," said McKay.
Regardless of the reason, health officials said they check on the vendors routinely.
"Throwing out large quantities of food like this under any circumstance is not a common thing," said Alisha Johnson, an environmental health specialist for the Missoula City-County Health Department.
McKay says she doesn't believe tainted meat was sold, though health officials say it is possible. Anyone who thinks they may be sick as a result of the tainted food is asked to call the Health Department at 258-3896.
"Seeing something to this degree is incredibly concerning. It's shocking, actually, that somebody would take food from Sidney, Montana, drive it all the way to Missoula without any refrigeration," said Johnson.

Breastfeeding - especially for a longer duration - may lower a woman's risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, a new study has found.
The study of over 7,000 older Chinese women showed that women who had breastfed their children were around half as likely to have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), compared to women who had never breastfed.
This cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between RA, breastfeeding, and also use of oral contraceptives, in a population of older women from South China, where cultural habits differ from those in the West, where most previous studies were conducted, researchers said.
In the study published in the journal Rheumatology, researchers used data from 7,349 women aged 50 years or older in the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort.
Questionnaires ascertained sociodemographic history, disease and lifestyle history, breastfeeding history, and history of use of oral contraceptives.
The women were also asked whether they had been diagnosed with RA, and were examined by a trained nurse to check their joints for any swelling or tenderness that may indicate RA.
The women were asked about whether they had ever been pregnant, the number of live births, and for each child they were asked to recall whether they had breastfed, and if so, for how many months.
They were also asked whether they had used the contraceptive pill, the age at which they began taking it, and for how long they took it.
The majority of women had had at least one live birth, and of these, over 95 per cent had breastfed their children for at least one month. Only 11 per cent had ever used the contraceptive pill, and mostly for short duration.
The mean age for first pregnancy was 24 years, and the mean age for diagnosis of RA was 47.5 years.
Among women who had at least one live birth, and after adjusting for potential confounding factors, those who had ever breastfed were around half as likely to have RA.
There was a statistically significant trend of decreasing risk of RA with increasing duration of breastfeeding.
There was no relationship between the use of the contraceptive pill and RA.
This is the first study to demonstrate a link between breastfeeding and lower risk of RA in a Chinese population, where breastfeeding was common practice and more prevalent than in many Western populations, researchers said.
The researchers noted that the association found in this study has potentially important implications for future RA disease burden.

Kevin Koski posted his team-high 12th multiple-hit game against No. 11 Wichita State Friday
March 24, 2006
By Jeff Honza
WICHITA, Kan. - Southern Illinois University (15-9, 1-0) jumped on No. 11 Wichita State (20-4, 0-1) early and never looked back in a 4-2 win at Eck Stadium today. The Salukis, who posted their first series-opening win in Wichita since 1996, handed the Shockers their first loss at home this season.
SIU, who is a near-perfect 8-1 when scoring first, took a 2-0 lead right out of the gate.
"It was huge to come out and score two runs in the first inning," said Saluki head coach Dan Callahan. "That set the tone for the entire game."
Kevin Koski led the game off with a single to right and quickly moved into scoring position on an ensuing sacrifice bunt by Scott Elmendorf. Grant Gerrard struck out, but reached base when Shocker catcher Brandon Hall dropped the third strike. Hall's passed ball proved costly, as both Koski and Gerrard came around to score.
The Salukis extended their lead to 3-0 in the third when Koski drew a leadoff walk and scored on a base hit by Gerrard. Gerrard's single to right center upped his hitting streak to 12 games.
SIU starting right-hander Jordan Powell ran into trouble in the bottom of the third, where he issued back-to-back walks and gave up a single. With two outs and the bases loaded, Powell escaped the jam when he got Tyler Hill to ground out to third.
Powell, who moved to 4-2 on the year, allowed just two hits, walked five and struck out four in 6.1 scoreless innings. He also threw 120 pitches before leaving the game in the seventh.
SIU's top reliever Adam Snyder then took over and retired three-straight Shockers before giving up a walk and two singles in the eighth. WSU, who struggled to get the big hit all day, narrowed the gap to 4-2 on Matt Brown's two-out, two-RBI single to right center.
Once Snyder got out of the eighth, Dusty Baker took the mound to close things out in the ninth.
Brandon Hall began the ninth by reaching on an error. Baker then forced Noah Krol to fly out to center before getting Kenny Waddell to hit into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game. Baker earned his team-leading fifth save.
Travis Banwart (5-2) suffered the loss for the Shockers. He allowed five hits and four runs, while recording eight strikeouts in 6.2 innings.
WSU had won 16 of its last 17 games and was a perfect 10-0 at home before losing to the Dawgs today.
Koski went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Koski, who hails from Schaumburg, Ill., also had five putouts in center field.
Elmendorf followed by going 2-for-3 with a RBI. Koski and Elmendorf lead the Salukis with 12 and 11 multiple-hit games, respectively, after 24 games.
"Kevin is our table-setter and it's typical how his hitting spreads through our lineup," said Callahan. "For a freshman playing his first series in Wichita, Scott played like he'd been here before. He had a great game."
WSU and SIU, tabbed one and two in the Valley's preseason poll this season, resume their series tomorrow at 2 p.m., CST. Matt Brewer will get the ball for the Salukis.
Tomorrow's game will be simulcast on WCIL 1020 AM and www.siusalukis.com.


text: Posted November 19, 2012 most of that can be attributed to the fact that almost every single passing play we run is designed to take like 18 minutes to develop also we'd been running the option way too much. as a change of pace it is fine, but it's not something you run as a base offense in the nfl. it doesn't allow cam to commit to his arm to make plays Or maybe it is that Cam is often not goign through his progessions quickly. If you watch the game, there are open WR's that he is missing. I do think that both Cam and Chud have fallen in love with the long ball. They are both trying to make a living off it...and failing.

Atlanta, Georgia (AP) --
The two major party candidates for Georgia lieutenant governor are rolling out their first statewide television ads of the campaign season.
In an ad set to hit the airwaves Monday, October 11, incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle stresses the importance of education for the state's future.
Democratic challenger Carol Porter on Sunday, Oct. 10, launched her first television spot. It introduces Porter as a Georgia native, a mother
of four Eagle Scouts, a Sunday school teacher and general manager
of nine Georgia newspapers.
Neither ad mentions the candidate's opponents.
Cagle and Porter face off against Libertarian candidate Dan
Barber in the Nov. 2 general election.

Square processing $10B in annual payments, up $2B in two months
Square is now processing $10 billion in annual mobile payment transactions, up from $8 billion in mid-September and exploding from $2 billion a year ago.
Square announced the latest milestone via Twitter. TechCrunch reports the $2 billion increase does not include transactions processed at Starbucks: As of last week, the coffeehouse chain's customers may pay for their purchases using the Square Wallet application for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android. The app generates a QR code scanned by a Starbucks digital reader terminal and links to the user's debit or credit card to process the transaction. TechCrunch instead credits Square's recent growth spurt to aggressive television advertising and corresponding increases in consumer adoption.
Last month, Square also expanded sales of its signature Mobile Card Reader to the Canadian market. The Card Reader enables small businesses and other users to accept credit and debit purchases by swiping cards through a small dongle that plugs into their smartphone or tablet audio jack. Square charges users a flat 2.75 percent fee on all transactions and promises no contracts, monthly fees or hidden costs.
More than 2 billion U.S. businesses and individuals now use Square services. In September the firm closed a Series D financing round, led by investors including Citi Ventures and Rizvi Traverse Management; The New York Times reported the round totals about $200 million, valuing Square at $3.25 billion.
Square faces competition from a host of rivals including PayPal Here, which enables small businesses and other users to process transactions by swiping cards through its own, triangle-shaped dongle. eBay-owned PayPal also is on pace to handle $10 billion in mobile payment transactions in 2012, an increase of 150 percent over a year ago.

I put a new rear wheel on my soon-to-be-reborn cyclocross bike. It wasn't really a NEW wheel, per se, since I had it built up with a new rim and spokes and with an old hub from a wheel I trashed last year.
Settled completely in the dropouts, however, it's crooked. It diesn't wobble, it's just off the vertical axis by about 2.5-3mm at the rim [what is that, one or two degrees?]. At first, with horror, I thought it might be the frame, but the wheel is equally crooked on my other bikes, and other wheels seem straight in this frame.
Am I missing something, or is this, indeed, a bent axle? Does anyone know what is involved in getting a new axle for a Campy Daytona hub?

Synopsis: Every day in Marmato, a shimmering Colombian mountain town, families pray for safety as their men walk out their doors and down into the mines, scratching out a living with little more than shovels and outdated sulphur lamps. Beneath their village lies one of the largest gold reserves on the planet. In 2006, the Colombian government invited foreign investment to the region to stimulate economic growth, unleashing a corporate gold rush. As plans progress to destroy residents' homes and level the beautiful mountaintop for an open-pit mine, Marmato charts the mounting crisis as the local community struggles to protect its way of life and economic sovereignty.

Literacy Learning Progressions: End of year 8
The Reading & Writing Standards full (PDF 4MB)
(School Journal, Part 4 Number 1, 2010) Noun frequency level: 12–14
By the end of year 7, students are required to use a range of fiction and non-fiction texts to locate, evaluate, and synthesise information and ideas in order to meet the reading demands of the curriculum, drawing on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes described for the end of year 7 in the Literacy Learning Progressions. The curriculum tasks will also involve the students in generating their own questions as well as answering questions from the teacher.
The students in a year 7 and 8 class are working on a social studies unit exploring the impact that people's decisions have had, and continue to have, on the New Zealand environment. They are also focusing on the selection and evaluation of relevant information, interpretation of evidence, and identification of bias as they think critically about the text and develop an informed argument for a follow-up writing task.
"Deer, Oh Deer" explores the introduction of wild deer to New Zealand and the impact they have had on the environment over the last 140 years. The text contains elements of explanation (cause and effect) as well as descriptive detail. The text is supported by a selection of relevant historical advertisements, photographs, and tables.
The teacher chose this text because it has a non-continuous structure and is a mixture of description, explanation, and opinion. Because the information is already presented as a single text, the students can concentrate on locating, selecting, and evaluating relevant information to make their own judgments about the impact of deer on New Zealand's natural environment. The headings, photos, information boxes, and "for and against" table assist students to navigate the text.
The following example illustrates aspects of the task and text and demonstrates how a student engages with bothtask and text to meet the reading demands of the curriculum.A number of such examples would be used to inform theoverall teacher judgment for this student.

Celebrity Weddings & Engagements
Charlize Theron and Sean Penn Looking to Tie the Knot — Report
Move aside, Kimye. There might be another big, celebrity wedding in the works.
Us Magazine is reporting that Charlize Theron and Sean Penn, who have been dating for eight months, have been talking about having children and are ready to tie the knot.
"They absolutely want to get married," a source close to Sean told Us Magazine. Another source added how the two wanted to grow their family.
Charlize attended the L.A. film premiere for her movie "A Million Ways to Die in the West" this month and admitted when asked about the relationship that she never even saw it coming.
"Sean and I have known each other for 18 years. We were just really good friends. And it's been slow going because you are aware that you could screw that up and lose it," Charlize said in the June issue of Vogue. "We had to think about it. But at the end of the day, it was somewhat effortless."
Charlize also added this: "It was nice to be single and now it's nice to not be single."
What do you think about Charlize Theron and Sean Penn possibly getting married? Do you think this relationship is destined to last? Let us know in the comments below!

Saving Printer Settings for Automatic Printing
The Printer ID is a unique internal representation that specifies a particular print queue. It is possible for the user to create multiple print queues that use the same user visible name, however each queue will have a unique Printer ID. To reliably reference a particular print queue, and therefore a specific printer, it is necessary to always use a Printer ID. The
PMPrinter data type neatly wraps up both concepts in a single package. This Technote describes how you can save and restore a
PMPrinter in order to save a printer that the user has selected.
Typically you do not need to know the Printer ID to print. However in some limited situations it makes sense to save the selected printer and automatically use it when needed (for example to print receipts for a point-of-sale application). The Printer ID provides the necessary persistent reference, since you cannot save a
PMPrinter to your preferences. So using a Printer ID you can save a reference to a print queue that is valid for the life of that print queue.
Collecting Printing Information
Depending on the expected workflow of your application, there are a number of ways that you may wish to approach obtaining the original
PMPrinter that you use to print.
One method is to obtain a list of available printers, and ask the user to choose one. This is acceptable if print options mean little to the consumer of your application; simply printing is the goal. Choosing From Available Printers demonstrates this method.
The second method is to ask the user to select a printer and print settings using the standard Print & Page Setup dialog boxes. This allows the user to set other options, such as page size and layout, as well as select the printer itself. In this case, you may also wish to save all print settings in addition to the printer selection. Obtaining Print settings via the Print & Page Setup Dialogs demonstrates this method.
In either case, the entire point is to save and restore this printer selection from your preferences. This is demonstrated in Saving and Loading Print Settings.
Choosing From Available Printers
You can obtain a list of available printers by calling
PMServerCreatePrinterList. This call will return a
CFArray of PMPrinters containing all the printers that it was able to discover. Listing 1 demonstrates how to turn the
CFArray of PMPrinters into a
CFArray of printer names to display to the user.
Listing 1 Obtaining the list of available printers
OSStatus CreatePMPrintersAndPrinterNames( CFArrayRef *outPrinters, CFArrayRef *outPrinterNames ) { *outPrinters = NULL; *outPrinterNames = NULL; // Obtain the list of PMPrinters OSStatus err = PMServerCreatePrinterList( kPMServerLocal, outPrinters ); if( err == noErr ) { CFIndex i, count = CFArrayGetCount( printers ); // Create another array to hold the printer names. You may use this to create a menu or list for // the user to select a printer. CFMutableArrayRef printerNames = CFArrayCreateMutable( NULL, count, kCFTypeArrayCallBacks ); if( printerNames ) { for(i = 0; i < count; ++i) { PMPrinter printer = (PMPrinter)CFArrayGetValueAtIndex( printers, i ); CFStringRef name = PMPrinterGetName( printer ); CFArrayAppendValue( printerNames, name ); } } *outPrinterNames = printerNames; } return err; }
Obtaining Print settings via the Print & Page Setup Dialogs
More flexibility is available however if you allow the user to select a printer and print settings using the standard Print Dialog. By doing so you allow the user to customize all of the print settings for the print job and save these settings as a template for future print jobs. After the user prints for the first time you can simply save the print settings and use them again later. Listing 2 shows you how to display a Print Dialog and obtain the printer and print settings in order to reuse them again later.
Listing 2 Saving Printer information from a Print Dialog
OSStatus CreatePageFormat( PMPageFormat * outFormat ) { PMPrintSession printSession; OSStatus err; Boolean accepted; // In order to create the Page Format we're going to // ask the user to setup that page format using Page Setup. *outFormat = NULL; err = PMCreateSession( &printSession ); if( !err ) { // We could create a session, so create and default the page format. err = PMCreatePageFormat( outFormat ); if( !err ) err = PMSessionDefaultPageFormat( printSession, *outFormat ); // Present the Page Setup dialog, if the user cancels or there // is an error, we'll dispose of the created page format, // return a NULL format, and whatever error may have been returned // from PMSessionPageSetupDialog. err = PMSessionPageSetupDialog( printSession, *outFormat, &accepted ); if( err || !accepted ) { PMRelease( *outFormat ); *outFormat = NULL; } PMRelease( printSession ); } return err; } OSStatus CreatePrintSettings( PMPageFormat ioFormat, PMPrinter * outPrinter, PMPrintSettings * outSettings) { PMPrintSession printSession; OSStatus err; Boolean accepted = false; *outPrinter = NULL; *outSettings = NULL; // In order to create the Print Settings & select a printer we'll // ask the user to create their settings using the Print dialog. err = PMCreateSession( &printSession ); if( !err ) { // Validate the Page Format against the current Printer, which may update // that format. err = PMSessionValidatePageFormat( printSession, ioFormat, kPMDontWantBoolean ); // Create and default the print settings if( !err ) err = PMCreatePrintSettings( outSettings ); if( !err ) err = PMSessionDefaultPrintSettings( printSession, *outSettings ); // Present the Print dialog. if( !err ) err = PMSessionPrintDialog( printSession, *outSettings, ioFormat, &accepted ); if( !err && accepted ) { // If the user accepted, then we'll retain the printer selected // so that it survives the scope of this session. // If there is an error getting the printer, then it will // remain NULL err = PMSessionGetCurrentPrinter( printSession, outPrinter ); if( !err ) PMRetain( *outPrinter ); } else { // We got an error, or the user canceled the operation // so we'll release our settings and NULL them out. // The PMPrinter hasn't been set yet, so it will remain NULL. PMRelease( *outSettings ); *outSettings = NULL; } PMRelease( printSession ); } return err; }
Saving and Loading Print Settings
The simplest way to save a reference to the printer that your user has selected previously is via CFPreferences. The Printer ID is returned via a
CFString and all flattened printer data is returned via a CFDataRef, both of which are easily stored via CFPreferences. Listing 3 shows how to save these settings to your preferences and Listing 4 shows you how to recover the printer and print settings from your preferences.
Listing 3 Saving Print Settings to your Preferences
OSStatus SavePrintSettings( PMPrintSession inSession, PMPrintSettings inSettings, PMPageFormat inFormat ) { CFStringRef printerID; PMPrinter printer; CFDataRef flatSettings, flatFormat; OSStatus err, tempErr; // We need the current printer from the print session before we can do anything else // If we get an error retrieving it, then we will simply return that error and do nothing else err = PMSessionGetCurrentPrinter( inSession, &printer ); if( err == noErr ) { // If PMSessionGetCurrentPrinter returns successfully, then the printer is valid // for as long as the session is valid, therefore we will assume that the printer name is valid. printerID = PMPrinterGetID( printer ); CFPreferencesSetAppValue( kPrinterID, printerID, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); CFRelease( printerID ); tempErr = PMFlattenPrintSettingsToCFData( inSettings, &flatSettings ); if( tempErr == noErr ) { // If we can flatten the print settings, then save them to preferences CFPreferencesSetAppValue( kPrintSettings, flatSettings, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); CFRelease( flatSettings ); } else { // If we cannot flatten print settings, then remove them from preferences CFPreferencesSetAppValue( kPrintSettings, NULL, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); } tempErr = PMFlattenPageFormatToCFData( inFormat, &flatFormat ); if( tempErr == noErr ) { // If we can flatten the the page format, then save them to preferences // if we could not, then we can reuse them with another printer CFPreferencesSetAppValue( kPageFormat, flatFormat, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); CFRelease( flatFormat ); } } return err; }
Listing 4 Recovering Print Settings from your Preferences
void CopyPrintSettings( CFStringRef * outPrinterID, PMPrintSettings * outSettings, PMPageFormat * outFormat ) { CFDataRef flatSettings, flatFormat; *outPrinterID = CFPreferencesCopyAppValue( kPrinterID, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); *outSettings = NULL; *outFormat = NULL; // load the printer ID via CFPreferences if( *outPrinterID != NULL ) { flatSettings = CFPreferencesCopyAppValue( kPrintSettings, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); flatFormat = CFPreferencesCopyAppValue( kPageFormat, kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication ); // Ignoring errors unflattening, as if there is an error the corresponding setting // will be NULL, indicating that it wasn't available. if( flatSettings != NULL ) { PMUnflattenPrintSettings( flatSettings, outSettings ); CFRelease( flatSettings ); } if( flatFormat != NULL ) { PMUnflattenPageFormatWithCFData( flatFormat, outFormat ); CFRelease( flatFormat ); } } }
Validating a Printer ID
Since the user is able to reconfigure their printing setup at anytime, even while your application is running, in order to provide a seamless experience, you will need to validate the printer that you plan to print with prior to every printing operation. In order to do this, you need to try to recreate the
PMPrinter from the Printer ID. This is not necessary in normal circumstances, as the standard Print dialog box and the default settings will automatically choose the correct printer.
Listing 5 Checking the Printer ID is valid
// This function demonstrates one way to validate a printer. // A more sensible method of doing this would be to attempt // to create the printer, use it on success, and ask the // user to update their settings on failure. Boolean IsValidPrinter( CFStringRef inPrinterID ) { PMPrinter printer = PMPrinterCreateFromPrinterID( inPrinterID ); Boolean valid = printer != NULL; // It is safe to pass NULL to PMRelease, as we'd just get an error // since we just want to make sure that a non-NULL printer gets // released, we can safely ignore that error. PMRelease( printer ); return valid; }

Results of the Social Election Experiment revealed: Do Facebook 'Likes' equal votes IRL? [Infographic]
Social media was a hot topic during Canada's recent federal election, because was our nation's first since the likes of Twitter and Facebook became ubiquitous enough for politicians to deeply consider their usage of these platforms and others.
Dubbed by some as the "Social Election," Dare and Optimum combined forces to run the Social Election Experiment.
Their results were recently revealed in the form of an infographic.
The key question asked was: do Facebook likes translate into votes at the ballot?
In a nutshell, yes—meaning that a presence on Facebook for political campaigns isn't just necessary, it's absolutely crucial.
I imagine that all future elections will increasingly integrate social media, with politicians scrambling to take the lead online—and the possibility of outcomes being highly predictable well before actual voting takes place.

"To me Cal Crutchlow is showing as much if not more potential as Spies and he's got a huge heart to go with it."
Tax Dodger
Before I jump into this , I would like it be known that I like Cal. Yes I do. I think he's brilliantly fast and has courage and even though I was one of the people who said that I wasn't sure if he deserved his seat based on his results, he's proven that he belongs. There is no doubt about that.
So now. Explain yourself. Of course you have the right to your opinion but the results and facts doesn't back it up.
This time last year Ben had 2 DNF's and Cal has a DNF and a DNS. But Cal's BEST finish of 7th only equals Ben's WORST finish. Ben finished 5th, 7th, 3rd, 4th, and 6th.
There is one extra factory bike this year but Tech 3 also has a better package. Colin already has a podium and should have 2.

Thanks UH, I do have Photobucket. I just didn't know how to link it.
Timberstalker here, my name is Terry, I live in Central Or. Hunting has been part of my life since I was a little kid with a bb gun. Most of my first 20 years hunting big game Blacktail deer were my main focus, Bow hunting elk is my favorite hunting nowdays. The majority of my hunting to date has been in Oregon, I am looking forward to expanding my horizons though. The pinnacle of my hunting career so far was my solo Rocky Mt bighorn hunt in '11. It turned out to be an adventure I will never forget. I have been with my beautiful wife for 7 years now. I have 3 wonderful step daugters 19,16 and 14. Yes I am out numbers for sure! We stay very busy attending sporting events, camping, hunting, working and so on. I enjoy this forum a lot, it allows me to talk about hunting when ever, (my girls get tired of talking about it). I have learned a lot from many of you on here and I hope I add to the forum.
My '11 Ram
My wife and I
Well since I never introduced myself when I joined, I guess I need to do it now. My name is Landon, I have a wonderful wife and 3 beautiful kids. I work shift work in a chemical plant that makes 100% chlorine gas. Shift work sucks with small kids but it allows me to take 2 or 3 hunting trips /family vacations a year with minimal vacation time and it pays pretty good. I have hunted everything with a season in my home state of Louisiana since I could carry a gun. Whitetail, turkeys and ducks top the list. I really have Eastmans and EF members to thank for introducing me to western DIY hunting. I always dreamed of hunting the west but was completely ignorant on how to do it without paying for an outfitter. Some of you know I made my first trip to WY last fall and had a good hunt. All that did was throw gas on the fire.

Hi my name is Matt and I've hunting since I was a youngster. My grandfather introduced me to it and I've been going ever since. I've been very fortunate in my years to hunt some spectacular areas for tropy big game. But I find now that I prefer the experience more than the trophy. In 2004 I was invited to film a season of safaris in Tanzania East Africa. That was a "once in a lifetime" experience for me. I'm married with a 2 year old son. My wife has been slowly getting into hunting. I've attached some pics.2012 Chetco River SteelheadWade Lake Montana

wolf curseWolf Cursewolf curse by killuaxme
It happened after Ichigo had turned into a wolf with some of his friends and ran to the forest in soul society after Hitsugaya had turned him down. Ichigo still had feelings for him and instead of killing him for entering their arena he made him promise not to show his face to him again. Hitsugaya was disposed of his status in Seireitei and was banished to a place in the mountain forest where he was supposed to live. Before he left he thanked everyone there for everything they had done for him and left.
It started on winter's day. Hitsugaya had built himself a house from fallen trees and was looking for something to eat when he heard a bark like from a little dog. He went to see who was there and saw two wolf puppies. One of them was grey male but the other one was black female. The black puppy was hurt on one of her pawns and had fallen from hunger. The other one was trying to make her stand up again when he saw Hitsugaya. The grey puppy started to bark at Hitsugaya and did

text: Derry councillor quits amid allegations 09 Jun 2014 Derry City councillor Jimmy Carr has quit his role as an elected representative for the Shantallow area, amid a series of newspaper allegations about his conduct. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The 26-year-old resigned on Sunday evening after the Sunday Life published a story about him."This decision is not easy, however, in the light of recent allegations I feel that I must concentrate on my health and my personal life in a private and non-confrontational arena," he said.His letter to the Chief Executive of Derry City Council, Sharon O'Connor, added: "I am also mindful in this decision that Derry City Council should not be a focus in any allegations levied against me."Mr Carr had already lost the support of the SDLP ahead of the local government elections, when the party refused to continue backing him as a candidate over alleged misuse of a council-issued iPad.He had spoken out about what he said were allegations of links to drugs, which he strenuously denied, and had been angry that the party would not support him.He also suggested at the time that he would quit the SDLP and become an independent councillor, but the party confirmed that he officially resigned as a member on Sunday.Although Mr Carr failed to be elected to the new Foyle and Strabane super council, he would have continued to be part of Derry City Council during the one-year transition period.However, his resignation is effective immediately. © UTV Share Share Share

Simple necklaces often take the form of a chain with a simple focal pendant. However, these sleek designs can be marred by the tendency of the clasp to slide around from behind the neck to the side. This is my personal pet peeve, and in this design I experiment with a way of eliminating it – by turning the clasp into the focal element.
For this design you will need round-nosed pliers, needle-nosed pliers, and a pair of wire clippers that can stand up to harder wire. You will also need at least 24 inches of chain (more depending on the desired length), nail head wires (which should be made of a half-hard wire), and beads of your choice. Depending on the chain and the clasp, jump rings may be necessary. Images corresponding to the instructions can be found in the gallery at the end of the post.
- The first step is to select the length of chain for the main part of the necklace. This particular design calls for 18 inches, but it can be adjusted for personal comfort or style. To break the chain, it is not ideal to cut the links. Every link is valuable, and can be reused later. Chain links can be difficult to manipulate; once opened they can be almost impossible to reform into their original shape. Manipulating the links too much damages them, which is visually unappealing and eventually weakens the chain. For this reason, any single chain link (picture 1 (a)) should be opened and shut again only once, and preferably as few links should be opened as possible to complete the project. To open a single link, the two pliers should carefully grip either side of the link, and the link should be torqued open gently from side to side (when viewed from above, picture 1 (b)). The point where the two ends of the link meet should separate by sliding passed one another, not by being pulled away from each other. Pulling the two ends of the link away from one another (picture 1 (c))makes it nearly impossible to close again in its original shape. By simply displacing the ends side to side, there is exactly enough room to string either a clasp or other wires, and it is relatively easy to slide the ends of the ring back into place.
- Using the technique described above, open a link (picture 2 (a))and string one half of the clasp onto on end of the wire (picture 2(b)). Close the link again around the clasp (picture 2(c)). If the link is too small for the loop of the clasp, a jump ring can be used to link the clasp to the chain. Similarly attach the other half of the clasp to the other end of the chain. Test the chain around your neck to make sure it is the right length. Individual links of chain can be added or taken away if the length needs to be adjusted.
- There are several kinds of links that can be made simply with nail-head wires. Once these links are mastered, they can be combined in any number and combination to make a unique focal piece. For this style necklace, the loops that attach one bead to another will not be holding a lot of weight. This means that it is not necessary to create wire wraps to tie off links. Simple loops will do; but only when using half-hard wire. Nail-head wires are usually half-hard; this means that the wire will hold its shape unless a lot of force is applied. The simple loops are created by simply wrapping the wire around the tip of the round-nosed pliers once to create the appropriate size loop. The size of any simple loop can be varied by sliding up and down the length of the tip of a pair of tapered round-nosed pliers. For a smaller loop, move the wire closer to the end of the pliers, for a larger loop, move the wire toward the base of the pliers. Next, cut off the excess wire tail, and use the round nosed pliers to close the loop and torque it so that it's not listing too far to any one side (this may take several attempts… be patient. The needle-nosed pliers can used in the other hand to get a better grip on the wire). Note- never throw excess nail-head wires away! The left over wire is needed for the other links.
- The first type is the simple end bead using a nail head wire. String the desired bead(s) on the nail head wires, and then create simple loops to close the link. These elements will be the decoration at the ends of each chain. Again, do not throw away the left over wire! (pictures 3a (1) and 3a (2))
- The second type of link is a bead link, made by making a simple loop on one end, stringing the desired bead(s), and closing the link with a simple loop on the other side. This is one of the places where excess nail-head wires will be used; simple loops only work with half-hard wire. Full-soft wire (the type used in previous designs) can be used, but wire wraps will be necessary to tie off the links. These links can be used in the middle of chains, or to attach chains to the clasp. (pictures 3b (1) and 3b (2))
- The third type of link is an alternative to a jump ring. This link also needs half-hard wire. It can be created with full-soft wire and wire wraps, but that's a tutorial for another time. The link is a simple figure-eight that can be used to attach elements that are too small to fit around the clasp. This is made in the same way as part b, but without stringing any beads in between. The trick for this link is to make sure that the loop that will be attached to the clasp is big enough. (picture 3c)
- Using the techniques described in step 3, create the focal element. For this piece, three dangling chains were strung onto the clasp. For the first, I used a figure eight to attach a short length of chain (about an inch and a half) to the clasp, and attached a nail-head stop with three beads to the end. For the second element, I used a bead link to attach a short chain to the clasp, and again finished with a nail-head link with one bead. For the last chain, I used a figure-eight to link a short wire to a bead link, to which I attached one last nail-head wire link. This is another great experimental piece; the links can be put together in almost infinite combinations to produce unique, beautiful designs (pictures 4 a through 4 d and the focal picture of this post).
- Some final thoughts on this piece: patience is necessary when dealing with half-hard wires, simple loops, and chain. All of these are slightly more difficult techniques and materials. However, by removing wire wraps from the equation, the transition between links appears cleaner. Because this piece is entirely simple loops, it is less secure. All the loops and chain links must be closed as completely as possible, but even then there is a chance that occasionally a link may be lost. It is always simple to repair. Planning is necessary in selecting materials; if the chain links are very small, nail head-wires may be too think (jump rings may even be too thick). Some beads also have holes too small for nail-head wires, but that is more unusual. Experiment, and have fun!

On Tuesday afternoon, Sony announced PS3 firmware 4.25 would be coming down the pipeline soon. The update started to roll out Tuesday evening. It's best to boot up your console and get the update over with before it becomes a burden on you in the future.This update's main function is increasing the cloud storage space for PlayStation Plus from 150MB to 1GB. If you're not a PlayStation Plus member, this update won't make any noticeable changes to your overall experience. I'm sure Sony made some tweaks under the hood, but it's likely something too technical for most people to care about.
PS3 firmware v.4.25 is now available

|Maris and Fanning selected for Down Under track event this summer
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 09 February 2012 18:48
By Amy Straub
The Wauneta Breeze
Abbie Fanning competes at a track meet last season.
Jonee Maris works hard to clear the high jump.
Jonee Maris and Abbie Fanning, both of Wauneta- Palisade High School, have been chosen to compete in the Down Under West Central Conference Track and Field competition in July.
Maris is a senior at Wauneta-Palisade High School, while Fanning is a sophomore at W-P.
Both girls had to go through a selection process and by their dedication and hard work both were chosen to compete this year.
Down Under Sports was founded in 1989 by a man named George O'Scanlon. From New Zealand O'Scanlon fell in love with athletics especially American football. He wanted to promote football not just in New Zealand but also in Australia. He then started the Down Under Bowl which soon led to the Down Under Hoops Classic and the Down Under International games.
The Down Under Sports program is meant to use the "common language of sports to bridge the continents and provide a forum for athletes from around the globe to compete head to head in the sport they love," as stated in the press release from Down Under Sports.
Maris and Fanning will be raising money for their trip to the land Down Under.
Sponsorship letters will be sent to local businesses and fund-raisers are being planned to enable both girls to participate this summer.

May 20, 2004
Dear Tulane Community:
Reed Kroloff, former editor-in-chief of Architecture Magazine and one of the leading voices in the world of professional design, has accepted our offer to serve as dean of the Tulane University School of Architecture, effective October 1, 2004.
Reed is currently at the American Academy in Rome where he is completing a residency as a recipient of the prestigious Rome Prize, which is awarded to scholars and professionals in architecture and other design fields. Reed is also the principal of Reed Kroloff Design Services which, in addition to its own design work, serves as a consultant for design competitions throughout the world. Reed was recently featured in the New York Times because of his influential role as an advisor for design competitions through which firms are awarded the country's most coveted architectural projects.
Reed earned a bachelor of arts degree from Yale University in 1982 and a master of architecture from the University of Texas at Austin in 1986. From 1986 to 1987 he was a lecturer of interior design at the University of Texas. Since 1989 he has served in various roles at Arizona State University including assistant director at the school of architecture, assistant dean of the college of architecture and environmental design, visiting assistant professor of architecture, undergraduate program coordinator of the school of architecture, assistant professor of architecture and tenured associate professor of architecture.
Reed also practiced architecture in Texas and Arizona from 1993 to 1996. Prior to joining the staff of Architecture Magazine he was the architecture critic for The Arizona Republic from 1989 to 1995. Reed has received numerous awards for his accomplishments as both a teacher and a writer, including the Arizona Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Outstanding Educator Award, the Outstanding University Professor Award from the Golden Key Honor Society and the Jesse H. Neal Award for Editorial Excellence.
Given his national prominence, varied experiences and remarkable accomplishments, we are confident Reed will help lead our school of architecture to a new level of greatness. I want to thank Dean Rick Marksbury for chairing the search committee and Provost Lester Lefton for providing overall direction for the search that brought us Reed and many other fine candidates. I also want to thank Ron Filson, who has ably served as interim dean of the school of architecture since January 2004. We all owe Ron a debt of gratitude for his service to the school and university over several decades.
Office of the President Emeritus, 1555 Poydras St, Suite 700, New Orleans, LA 70112 504-274-3638 firstname.lastname@example.com
