Almost a week after the Montana State men found their new head coach, Montana Tech announced Monday they have found their new women's head basketball coach.
Former Carroll College assistant, Carly VanDyke, has been named the next women's head coach at Montana Tech.
VanDyke, a native of Chester, MT, has been serving as an assistant at Central Washington University. She spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Carroll College and also attended Carroll, where she played basketball for the Fighting Saints.
VanDyke is replacing DeAnn Craft, who resigned following the firing of athletic director Charles Bradley in January.
Assistant Lindsie Wilson filled in for Craft the remainder of Tech's 2013-14 season, but did not apply for the position following the season.

I'm writing a MUD (text based game) at the moment using java. One of the major aspects of a MUD is formatting strings and sending it back to the user. How would this best be accomplished?
Say I wanted to send the following string:
You say to Someone "Hello!" - where "Someone", "say" and "Hello!" are all variables. Which would be best performance wise?
"You " + verb + " to " + user + " \"" + text + "\""
String.format("You %1$s to %2$s \"%3$s\"", verb, user, text)
or some other option?
I'm not sure which is going to be easier to use in the end (which is important because it'll be everywhere), but I'm thinking about it at this point because concatenating with +'s is getting a bit confusing with some of the bigger lines. I feel that using StringBuilder in this case will simply make it even less readable.
Any suggestion here?

Juan Piquer Simón's 1983 film "Pieces" could be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Mainly because of the awful audio transfer.. It's like watching an old Godzilla movie, there is a huge delay in the dialoge. The funny thing is, you can tell they're all speaking english and saying exactly what we hear, it's just terribly off.
The first scene is pretty amusing.. a child is putting together a jigsaw puzzle, and his mother enters the room with a big smile. Coming up behind him and looking over his shoulder she see's that the puzzle is of a naked woman. Furious, the mother throws the puzzle across the room and beats the child. She tells him she's going to end this once and for all and goes through all of his drawers, throwing all of his porno magazines around the room. All of a sudden the child completely mutilated his mother with an axe.
We are then shifted 40 years later to a college in Boston. A psychopath is killing girls with a chainsaw, and taking certain pieces from each body, obviously to make some weird puzzle of a woman. The gore is pretty cheesy but entertaining, arms flying, girls getting sawed in half.
The thing that makes this movie so popular probably is the straight randomness. Things like a girl on a skateboard flying through a mirror, that has nothing to do with the movie.. to a girl pissing herself before she's murdered.. to a drunk kung fu teacher jumping and beating the shit out of a girl in an alley way. These things all have really nothing to do with the movie.. and leave you very confused.
All in all this movie is garbage. But if you're some one who really loves cheesy 80's slasher horror you'll get some kicks out of it. The ending alone finalizes that the movie is a piece of shit.
About Pieces (1997)
Year: 1997
Starring: Joe Russo, Jonathan Rea, Steve Shindle, Harry Eddleman, Wendy James

Tallahassee, Florida- September 5, 2012
Protecting Florida's water ways was the purpose of a workshop today. Appalachicola Bay was one of six panhandle bodies of water discussed at the Department of Environmental Protection today.
In particular, that agency is in the process of setting nutrient standards for six panhandle estuaries.
An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.
Appalachicola Bay has a lot of fresh water flowing into it from the Appalachicola River. It makes for very favorable conditions for oysters, because the filter feeding oysters need the algae from nutrients delivered by the river. And the low salt content is not favorable for predators of the oysters.
90 percent of Florida's harvested oysters come from Appalachicola Bay.
So keeping those nutrient levels favorable is critical for a major industry for the area. And there are current concerns over a smaller than normal oyster harvest.
to help out, people in the area can use phosphorous free yard fertilizer.
Phosphorous is one of the nutrients monitored.
It's in such strong supply already, any runoff from yards could effect this critical ecosystem.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Impressions
IGN got a chance to view the first 15 minutes of the upcoming expansion to Ubisoft's critically acclaimed Far Cry 3. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a standalone expansion of the series and does not require the base game to function; simply buy, and have a whole heap of fun!
Far Cry 3 has set the tone for its series as one of the most gruesome first person shooters on current gen consoles. While Games like Battlefield and Gears of War can depict ultra-high levels of blood and intestinal gore, Far Cry 3 puts you in the shoes of a real hunter. As a predator, your sole purpose is to wreak havoc and survive on an island of psychopathic drug lords and cocaine-addicted cheetah's that won't die from being shot in the face by an AK-47.
Far Cry 3 brings out the bloodiest of our personalities when it comes to the hunt. Sadly, the narrative of the game leaves no room for the player to truly enjoy a lighter side of the game. Is there a lighter side to be had? Probably so, but such an experience can't possibly be found in the vanilla game, which is why Ubisoft developed Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
Blood Dragon has absolutely no ties to Far Cry 3 anyway, and its main focus is to show the depictions of cheesy 80's movies and terrible action one-liners. It's best to think of like a video game time machine disguised in contemporary DirectX awesomeness.
You take control of the game's main character, who goes by the name Rex Powercolt (yes, really), a cybernetic hybrid of robot and human. Rex is augmented with a left robotic arm and mechanical eye that helps him see the ultra-retro hues of metallic purple and blue at night when he's scouting for enemies. This game is literally trying to be terrible.
The beginning sequences are artistic slideshows-no video, no intense pixelated explosions or deep story narrative. Cliché one liners and stereotypical black guys moved across every corner of the screen in a really annoying intro that resembles old games from the arcade theater era.
The first mission of the demo saw Rex manning a mini-gun turret while being carried over a complex filled with intense contrasts in color between sky blue and navy blue, purple and pink, and finally green and black. For those who grew up in the eighties, these were the flagging colors edged in every 30+ year old gamer's brain.
The animations of the character haven't changed too much, not the least more with his robotic hand; instead of injecting your left arm with a syringe when you need to heal, Rex injects a glass tube of green ooze into his metal hand. Obviously logic doesn't apply to an 80's parody, so I'll spare some of the criticisms of the annoying parts. But while I'm here, I will say that the tutorial screens are deceptively repetitive and annoying; and on purpose if you actually read to the end of the last screen.
Apart from mindless action, Blood Dragon seems to have accomplished what Saints Row developer Volition has achieved; idiotic fun with no restrictions on imagination and craziness.
Blood Dragon will be released on May 1st for Xbox 360, PS3, and of course PC for (presumably) $15.

American palates, which tend to favor sweetness and saltiness as the supreme virtues of the flavor spectrum tend to look askance at bitter flavors. It's not only because bitterness is the underdog that I hold something English dictionaries invariably define as "unpleasant" in such high regard: A touch of bitterness can bring out new flavor dimensions in familiar ingredients. It was a fearless Espresso-Crusted Tenderloin ($29) that made my first visit to Glendale's Iron Horse Inn stand out.
Ground espresso made a juicy, medium-rare filet mignon a new experience. A nest of orzo pasta added a nice texture, with wilted arugula and whole garlic cloves that intensified the darkness of the espresso's flavor, broken here and there by bright explosions of grape tomatoes. Reduced pinot noir drizzled around the plate curbed the sharpness without being syrupy-sweet, as some reductions can be. Leathery and spicy, a glass of Calera Pinot Noir ($7.50) was a perfect partner.
Shawn Weinbender, formerly of Chateau Pomije, is the new executive chef at the Iron Horse. The espresso crust for the tenderloin is one of many new twists he's given to the menu. Pan-Seared Chicken ($18) with handmade lemon parsley gnocchi, Frenched Pork Chops ($18 for two chops) with mulato chili coffee sauce and a vegetarian Eggplant Florentine ($14) are a few others.
Before walking inside, my boyfriend and I stopped to watch a train rush by on the tracks alongside the restaurant. The dinner that followed was punctuated by the roar of trains passing at 20-minute intervals. It gave me a peaceful feeling. My boyfriend said he felt like he'd been dining on a train.
Actually, much of the waitstaff of the original Iron Horse Inn of the 1960s was recruited from dining cars of trains as the bus and airline industries were taking over. But the building's history -- ever linked to the railroad tracks -- goes much further back, to a tavern in the 1850s and an ice cream parlor with liquor hidden in the walls during Prohibition.
The most recent incarnation is the result of extensive renovation of the elegant, two-story Victorian building by the Sawyer brothers of Glendale, who reopened the restaurant in 1997.
During warmer weather, a patio alongside the historic Village Square offers a view of the old depot. Inside, guests can choose between upstairs or downstairs seating. Downstairs is quieter and more formal, with floral drapes and red walls. The bar and dining area upstairs feels like an Elk's Club, with hunter-green walls, oak woodwork and vaulted ceilings. Here, you'll find live Jazz on the weekends. Because of a private cocktail party the night we visited, we were seated downstairs.
Our waiter was a seasoned veteran. Plates were cleared, silverware replaced, and wine and bread delivered in well-honed rhythmic succession. His wine suggestions (given only at our request) were excellent. But initially, his years of experience were evident only in his detached presence. And he wasn't prepared to answer our questions about Kampachi, on the list of specials. Although he quickly retreated to the kitchen and returned to tell us it was from Hawaii and similar to yellowfin tuna, his lack of enthusiasm did not persuade us to try it. It was later, on the phone with Weinbender, that I learned the kitchen is actually very excited about offering more unusual fish entrées as nightly specials.
We started with Prince Edward Island Mussels ($7), swimming in a spicy tomato-basil broth and scooped up on garlic toast points. Two glasses of Peter Lehman Chardonnay ($7.50 a glass) from Australia were refreshing alongside the spice.
Offered in two sizes, salads are a good deal. Greens are fresh and varied, and the Iron Horse uses local produce when seasonally available. My boyfriend had an Asparagus and Portabello Salad ($5 small), with baby field greens, roasted red peppers and toasted sunflower seeds. My Iron Horse Salad ($4 small) was a lively mix of baby spinach, radicchio and arugula, tossed with julienned pears, walnuts, blue cheese and roasted shallots. Our only complaint was the evenness with which dressings were applied. His salad was drowning beneath a sweet, thick balsamic vinaigrette, whereas my salad was lightly dressed in a surprisingly inconspicuous applewood-smoked bacon vinaigrette.
Splitting both of our entrées for a $4 charge, we also tried the signature Roasted Sea Bass ($29): crisp on the outside and hot and steamy within. A bed of buttery, puréed sweet potatoes was lovely, but the garnishes were lovelier: paper-thin snap peas and a small, pink mound of pickled onions.
We were full, but felt no guilt in polishing off a Warm Molten Cake ($4) oozing with hot, semisweet chocolate ganache, and topped with whipped cream.
The Iron Horse Inn might be old news to many people, but if you've never been there, or haven't visited since Weinbender became the chef last April, you need to put it on your list. ©

I now wish to object to my own previous post! As you say, the table name can be derived from the constraint name, and so it is redundant to hold it again in the fk_column table. Adding it there is commonly done simply because the types of inter-table constraints our DBMSs allow us to make are somewhat limited - i.e. it is usually a foreign key or nothing.
One can therefore forget that a foreign key is nothing more than a handy shorthand for a check contraint (or "assertion") something like:
(SELECT child.parent_id FROM child
SELECT parent.id FROM parent))
Standard SQL permits constraints of that form (more or less), but most DBMS products do not. If it were permitted then a more complex constraint could be built such as:
(SELECT fk.table_name, fkc.column_name FROM fk JOIN fk_columns fkc ON fkc.constraint_name = fk.constraint_name MINUS
SELECT col.table_name, col.column_name FROM columns))
In the absence of such syntax we have to make do with what we have. Sometimes it is possible to use Materialized Views like this:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW fk_column_mv AS
SELECT fk.table_name, fkc.column_name FROM fk
JOIN fk_columns fkc ON fkc.constraint_name = fk.constraint_name
SELECT col.table_name, col.column_name FROM columns
ALTER TABLE fk_column_mv
ADD CONSTRAINT fkc_col
CHECK (table_name IS NULL);
If the materialized view is set up so that it is always refreshed on commit, then the constraint on the MV effectively acts as a foreign key on table fk_columns, by preventing any rows from being added to fk_column that would result in a row being added to the MV.

Today's blog post is not about programming. Not directly anyway. Today I will talk about user experience.
I usually think that Google does pretty well when it comes to the user experience. Today however, I stumbled upon a surprising and rather irritating... um, feature. You know how you can limit the search results in time, so that you get results from the last 24 hours, last week, last month and so on? Well, I wanted to do the opposite. I wanted results that was approximately one year old, or older. Luckily, in the end of the timing choices, there is a Custom range alternative.
The options for limiting the search result in time.
When you click on Custom range, the page will show a couple of text boxes where you can type the dates the dates between which the search should be limited.
Now, as you may know, dates is a messy field. Here in Sweden we write dates in one way (which happens to conform to the ISO standard). In the US dates are written entirely differently. In France, they write dates like in the US, but they the month and day switch places. In short, when you give the use a text box for writing dates, the ice gets very thin.
Google is obviously aware of this, so they provide an example of how they want you to write the date. Right above the Search button they show you a date in the form that they want, and it happens to be in the US format. Note how the date is carefully chosen so that the French shall not be confused. It is obvious that the first number is the month and the second is the day, since there are only 12 months in a year.
Great! So I put in the dates that interest me:
...and then I click the Search button. Now it gets confusing. Google tells me that they dates I entered are not valid.
So, just to try it out, I enter dates my way instead. I am after all using the Swedish Google site (even though I run it in English).
And when I click Search, this is what I get:
It works out just fine! Now, notice how the dates that I typed into the text boxes has now been translated into the US date format. If I just click the Search button again, I get the same error as before: that the dates are not valid.
Not very intuitive.
I am working for a great consultancy company called Diversify,
located in Sweden. We are hiring skilled .NET developers. If you are interested,
don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

Destination: Durango, Colorado
- By Eszter Horanyi
- Published May. 11, 2012
- Updated Oct. 11, 2012 at 4:42 PM EDT
There are three directions from which to access the Durango valley in the southwest corner of Colorado. Driving into the valley from the south reveals the massive San Juan Mountains to the north, the Animas River flowing through the town, and a long glacial valley stretching as far as the eye can see.
Coming in from the north, the drive traverses Molas and Coal Bank Pass from Silverton, following the route of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, roughly paralleling the southern 80 miles of the Colorado Trail.
From the west, the route passes dozens of trailheads as it drops into the valley from the Four Corners area.
A quick glance at a map will quickly reveal why so many people who choose to have their lives revolve around mountain biking, either professionally or recreationally, choose to make Durango their home.
There are trails close to town in the Horse Gulch area, which are free of snow early in the spring and late in the fall. Then there's the Ned Overend Bike Park, formerly known as Test Tracks. Then there's the southern terminus of the Colorado Trail, which includes 74 miles of high altitude trail to the top of Molas Pass and countless trails that spur off of it.
Combined with a vibrant community that embraces bicycles in all forms and a town large enough to create a job market, Durango might well be a mountain biker's paradise.

Excellent bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Blow away by how comfortable and pleasant to sleep in this bag is...the DWR treatment has saved me from a heavy frost while sleeping under the stars, and I've used it down to around 0 on some early season ski tours with no complaints, which honestly surprised me. The hood closure is brilliant too, and elastic so easy on the fabric. Couldn't be happier.
sleep tight
So nice and warm. I am indeed asleep in this photo.
Heavier than expected
Received the Somnus SZ 30, size long today. Weighed in at 1 lb 13 oz, which is much heavier than I expected. I have the old Somnus 15, with the chest zip, which is an amazing bag and weighs 2lb 1oz on the same scale. I still think these bags are a great value. The 30 sz is also of excellent quality, very roomy, and has an amazing hood with a built in pillow pocket, but I'll be sending it back based on the weight, and count myself fortunate enough that the only thing I have to worry about today is returning a sleeping bag over an imagined 4 oz discrepancy.
I would really appreciate it if Backcountry would post accurate weights on products like these, where a few ounces dictates my buying decisions. That being said, I'm grateful for the return policy.
I couldn't agree more on posting accurate weights. Stuff sack sizes too. We shouldn't have to rely on other customers to provide this data.
Great Bag; Super Value
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is my second down bag, and is replacing a 600 fill bag. It is roomy, super comfortable, and very compressible. I was initially disappointed because it seemed that the foot box and hood were super lofty, while the main area above my chest was thin on the down. If yours arrives like that, simply shake the bag from the foot box until the down shifts to the middle of the bag down the long vertical baffles. Plusses include a great zipper that never seems to snag, a hood that is not claustrophobic and easy to cinch down to a small breathing hole, a water resistant Pertex outer shell, and a soft and comfortable inner liner. To me, this bag is a super value comparable to much more expensive bags. Get one before they are all gone!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
My first down bag and it is amazing how much more comfortable I was. Like sleeping in a cloud and it was a great value. couldn't ask for more
Great Value
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was looking to upgrade my old bag for a couple seasons and had my eye on the Stoic line because they were reasonably priced and had good reviews. My primary use for the bag is backpacking, so weight was a concern. I'm not one to pay an absolute premium, but usually select gear based on what I think will be a good value. When I saw the Somnus SZ 30 on sale, I picked one up. The seams are clean, the pertex has a great soft feel, and it is lofty. I am 6' with broad shoulders and got the regular and it fits well. I sleep on my side, back, stomach and the bag accommodates all my tossing and turning. I have room to move around and definitely some space to layer up if I want to push this bag into colder temps. I've had this out for long weekends in the Rockies at around 11-12k (treeline-ish). Night time temps started in the upper 40s, and dropped to around 30. I started a few nights with the bag just draped over me, but ended up inside, fully zipped, and the hood cinched. Good for me to the temp rating, but YMMV. I wear a light base layer, light hat and sleep on a pad with an R-value >5.
The zipper has been snag free. The draft tube is adequate and stays in place no matter how I'm sleeping. The hood cords did not bother me. Like Kayd, I trimmed them. I found that cinching more is better to avoid them in your face. I have not used the footbox pocket, except as a sleeve to hang the bag for storage, which works well as the bag does not have external loops. The pillow pocket is not really for me. The included stuff sac is fine and weighed 100g, but will mostly get left at home. The storage sack is nice and lets the bag get good loft and protects from dirt. The sleeping bag itself weighed in at 720g.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have not used the bag long term and cannot attest to its longevity. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new bag since you get a high-end product without the high-end price tag.
850 fill paradise
This bag amazed my dad and friends camping that were all using synthetic bags. I was a little surprised myself when I felt how light it was in the stuff sack. Compressed down it gets to about the size of a double nest deluxe eno hammock. Pure awesome!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Used this with the Big Agnes Air Core pad at 9000 feet. The low was 29 degrees, and I stayed warm all night.
Great bag for three season use.
Just got back from a five day, 100 mile trip through northern Arizona. Temperatures got near freezing most nights, and I was still comfortable on the coldest night. I was roasting at 45 degrees in this thing, which I'll take over cold any day. The fit was roomy for a mummy type bag, and I was impressed with how warm the footbox stayed. It warmed up within seconds if I curled up and it got cold, and I never noticed any cold spots. The light weight was a amazing, this bag provides an amazing heat to weight ratio, and packs down to smaller than a soccer ball. For a lightweight warm to cool temperature bag I couldn't ask for anything else.
Amazing Roomy Lite Bag for Price!!!
Regular is longer than most 6-0" bags probably fit up to 6-3". I am just over 6'-0", 220 lbs, 46"chest I usually have to get long bags but there is lots of width and length in the Somnus 30.
I would never use the included stuff/compression sack 3.5 oz, waste of time. The bag does compresses very small, it easily fit in a #3 5L granite gear stuff sack. It weighed in at 26 oz. on my scale. Slightly heavier than expected for regular but the bag is very lofty, roomy, and very warm. It appears about three or four times thicker than my Big agnes pitch pine 40 degree, and two times as lofty as the Mont bell Spiral UL 30. The monte bell is a long and this bag is only 2-3 inches shorter. This Stoic Somnus has a zippered insulated pocket in the foot box. I'm assuming is for gear that needs to stay warm. It is not a foot vent as i had hoped. I has size 12 feet and the foot box is roomier than most bags i have tried. This bag moves well. I can roll inside it if im not using the hood and it rolls nicely with me when using the hood. I sleep warm but believe I would be comfy into the upper teens based on loft and comfort at 30 degrees without using the hood. Another Great Product by Stoic. Everything I have owned from Stoic has been great. I only wish it had a Goat on it!
Note the Hood is the best fitting hood i've ever used fits perfect under my chin and snug around face without feeling claustrophobic. I usually do not like hoods cinched up but Stoic has it dialed in.

Is this thing really as long as it says (TWSS)?
Specs say 82 inches. That's longer than most long bags. Will a regular length version of this thing actually work for a guy who is 6'2"?
I'm pretty sure this is a typo. Stoics website says a maximum user height of 6'6", which would be 78". The regular must be 72" and the long 78".

Arrived today. 26.2 OZ\1lb 10.2 oz w/o stuff sack. The "do not remove this tag"is the only added weight. If we give the tags a generous .2oz we are still at 1lb 10oz. Not happy that BC can't provide a weight; especially with the advent in light and ultralight backpacking.

The Reserve Bank of India was spotted buying dollars via state-run banks starting around 58.47, which was the rupee's strongest level in 11 months, three traders said.
The rupee trading at 58.52/53 per dollar by 0359 GMT, off its session high of 58.47, its highest since June 18. The currency closed at 58.79/80 on Friday.
The rupee had gained at open on expectations of continued robust foreign buying in domestic shares and debt after the Bharatiya Janata Party swept the country's elections.
A trader with a brokerage expects the USD/INR pair to be in a 58.50 to 58.70 range during the session.

More snow
Today, the bulk of the snow will fall to the south of Interstate 80. With that said, we expect 2 to 4 inches in the Poconos and Schuylkill County. If you don't live there, but do live to the south of Interstate 80, expect 1 to 3 inches. This would include most of central Pennsylvania. Then, north of Interstate 80, to say Scranton and Williamsport as northern edges, expect a coating to two inches. Parts of the northern tier/counties that sit on the New York State Line won't see any snow.
The snow will end from west to east from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Then, a few spots in central Pennsylvania will get a few breaks of sun late in the afternoon. Everyone else stays cloudy. We drop to 18 degrees as the clouds break up tonight. We'll have partly sunny skies Tuesday, but a snow storm arrives Tuesday night. Expect plowable snow into Wednesday and rain.

If the rumors come true and NFL Network and ESPN become partners, the companies already will have their first dual employee.
Moss, a member of ESPN's horse racing team since 1999, next week begins hosting a two-hour show four days a week on NFL Network.
"It's something I don't think will affect anything I do for horse racing," Moss said of his new gig. "ESPN has been extremely gracious."
That's good news for horse racing fans who have been treated to Moss' insight and analysis for nearly a decade. ESPN doesn't know how to televise an actual race – there's no award for most camera cuts and widest angle used – but Moss, along with host Joe Tessitore, analyst Jerry Bailey and others, ensures the rest of the program is top-notch.
Those three, plus reporters Jeanine Edwards and Jay Privman and handicapper Hank Goldberg, will be at Del Mar on Sunday for a two-hour showcase capped off by the $1 million Pacific Classic. The show begins at 5 p.m. on ESPN2 and includes three additional graded stakes races. All the races have Breeders' Cup implications, particularly since this year's event at Santa Anita will be the first to include races on a synthetic surface.
Moss, who began his career as a sportswriter and handicapper in Dallas and later Fort Worth, said morning-line favorite Go Between is "the horse I'm probably most interested in" for Sunday's Classic.
Moss and Goldberg also will appear from Del Mar on ESPN's coverage of tomorrow's Travers Stakes from Saratoga (1:30-3 p.m.). After Sunday's races, Moss will head to Los Angeles to begin his job at NFL Network hosting "Team Cam," which promises interviews from the practice sites of all 32 teams plus debate and analysis.
Known for being extremely prepared, Moss has been "immersing myself" in studying all 32 teams in preparation for the "Team Cam" debut at 1 p.m. on Sept. 2.
"As long as I don't confuse Philip Rivers with Garrett Gomez," Moss said, "I'll be all right."
Olympics interest in San Diego remains high, with our market continuing to rank fifth among the major markets with an average prime-time rating of 22.6, down only slightly from the first-week average of 24.0. Four years ago in Athens, San Diego finished eighth with an average of 20.2. The national average through Wednesday was 16.9, a 7 percent jump from Athens. Viewership is averaging 29 million per night, up 12 percent.
Low blow by Fox last Friday, discussing the results of a Michael Phelps race during the Raiders-Titans telecast when viewers on the West Coast – like those in, say, Oakland – had yet to see it. If anyone cared about the Phelps race they would have been watching it live, except in the 18 percent of the country where that wasn't possible. What if people – like the friend who told me about this – were watching the football game specifically to avoid hearing Olympics results?
ESPN and Fox appear eager to bid on the U.S. rights for the 2014 and 2016 Olympics. John Skipper, executive vice president of content at ESPN, was quoted by the Hollywood Reporter as saying, "We would never put an event on tape delay. When we put 'live' on the screen, we mean 'live right now.' We don't mean live three hours ago." He added that if NBC was having technical trouble taking the "live" bug off its tape, ESPN would lend its technical expertise "to help them remove (it)."
I doubt Jerry Coleman will ever need another job, but if he does, I can think of one place that won't be hiring him: the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. During a Padres game this week from Phoenix, Coleman said: "You walk more than 10 minutes here, you drop dead. It's only about 110 degrees. . . . You want a place not to live, this is it."

Twenty years after the Oslo Accords, the Middle East peace process is stalled. As U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry attempts to restart direct talks between Israelis and Palestinians, what needs to be done to save the two-state solution?
The Elders, a group of independent leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Martti Ahtisaari, former president of Finland; Lakhdar Brahimi, special envoy to Syria and former foreign minister of Algeria; and Jimmy Carter, former president of the United States, discussed U.S. efforts, the Arab Peace Initiative, the role of the European Union, and the impact of regional events on the conflict. Marwan Muasher moderated.
Martti Ahtisaari is the former president of Finland, a Nobel Peace Laureate, and an expert in international peace mediation, diplomacy, and post-conflict state building.
Lakhdar Brahimi is special envoy to Syria, former foreign minister of Algeria, and an expert in peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction.

Grandfather's Dance
by Patricia MacLachlan
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Cassie is still narrating, Jack is a toddler, Anna is getting married, and Grandfather is getting very old. The aunts and William come for the wedding and stay for some time. The family also gets a car.
A good, quick read for young people.
GRANDFATHER'S DANCE concludes the five-book story of the Witting family. Fourth-grader Cassie Witting continues to write the family journal; this novel is narrated from her point of view. Caleb is away at school. Wedding preparations have begun for Anna and Justin. Grandfather, a beloved family member, spends much of his time with baby Jack, his special pal. Sarah's aunts and brother are coming from Maine to assist with wedding plans. This novel presents moments of great joy with a bittersweet conclusion. Author Patricia MacLachlan states, "It is bittersweet for me to end my writing relationship with them (the Witting family) and all the extended family in the book GRANDFATHER'S DANCE. The "real" Sarah was my step-great-great grandmother, though I never knew many things about her. And the grandfather is modeled after my own father..."
This book is a sweet conclusion to the Sarah Plain and Tall series. Company is coming from far away for a special event, while Grandfather has his hands full with little Jack.
Grandfather's Dance is about a family who lives on a farm. The family has three kids, two dogs and their grandfather. One of the daughters is getting married in a couple of weeks. The youngest child is a boy named Jack. Jack is learning how to talk. Every time Jack is with his grandfather, he is always learning new words. Before the wedding, the Aunts visit to see the oldest daughter get married. After the wedding, they have a big party and everyone comes and gives gifts to the couple. The next week, before the Aunts leaves the whole family has a family picture. And during the pictures, Grandfather has a heart attack and dies.
I think that Grandfather's Dance is a book that is about family. I liked the book because it has a lot of funny parts in the story. I would give it to a person who wants to read about a family who loves and cares each other. It can also teach you how to live in a farm. I enjoyed reading this book.
Could anything be more perfect then a prairie wedding? Cassie doesn't think so, for a wedding brings:
Two lovebirds together,
Aunts from faraway Main,
A long white dress with a wedding veil,
Satin Ribbons
Dancing under a clear blue sky
And a world that smells of roses.
And the Witting family comes together for this most special day, Cassie sees that life brings:
The change of seasons,
Brother Jack on Grandfathers lap,
A brand new car
And a special dance only Grandfather can does.

Title should be
"How to spot an untrained, armed man in a crowd."
Heyyy, wait a minute. Now you're making fun of my new...hat holster?!? No hijack here, but do y'all prefer OHB or IHB (outside/inside head band) hat holsters? Or the new Remora that just sticks behind your ear with NO HAT at all? Please help, 'cause I just can't decide. :hand5:
Be aware of your surroundings. Be sure you're armed.
You knew you were in trouble in L. A. if the guy was wearing a Hoodie.... on backwards, and eye holes cut into the hood. Gang banger attire.
Instead of trying to help people identify the law abiding citizen who is legally carrying a concealed handgun perhaps this company should tell people to stop looking at their phones so that they can see that the lunatic who is pointing the gun at the crowd of people is the lunatic who is about to pull the trigger and shoot the people in the crowd.
Realistically though...
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't frequent malls very often. When I do I have my hands full just trying to find the store I want to visit and try not to get lost and what way to get out just to find my vehicle. I get lost!
Much less the overwhelming task of the mass of bumper to bumper humanity trying to maintain a condition "yellow" approach. IMHO, you're not going to notice anything out of the ordinary until you hear that unmistakable sound of, "bang, bang, bang".
The only exception is sexy women in skimpy cloths the wife doesn't see you looking at.
With that said, tell me, condition "yellow" is actually condition "boner" as you look at all the candy in the store? Or am I off base and need to be looking at all the sales flyer's in the store fronts?
So now I have to have my towel and a hat to travel the Galaxy...?
I remember reading something shortly after 9/11. The Israelis told us (regarding airport security) something to the effect of "You conduct your security by looking for weapons. We conduct our security by looking for terrorists." It's not the fact that a person has a weapon, it's what they intend to do with it. That's the hard part to figure out. Probably a fair number of law-abiding concealed-carriers fit the descriptions above. Hopefully we can somehow figure out "yeah, he/she's carrying, doesn't seem to be a threat" and move on to someone more pressing.
Can't say I know the answer though.
Great thread it proves without a doubt that you can believe some of the stuff you read on the internet some of the time.
I better Bookmark this.
Anybody who's been around the block a few times can pick up on certain body language.
IMO, all this e-mail does is make those who haven't been around the block a few times become paranoid and convinced everybody they see is about to shoot the place up.
"Active shooters and mass killings are an everyday part of life"
No, they're not. They are very much the exception to the rule.
Besides we all know that the Gun Free Zone signs they had at that mall are huge deterrents. Obviously the shooter was illiterate. This is a failure of the education system not a gun control issue. If he'd been able to read those signs he never would've taken that gun into the mall.
The writer never spent any time walking around in the ghetto. Thos who don't walk or dress funny are suspicious.
everyone in Florida carries a gun, so the article is meaningless....unless you are alarmed by legally licensed citizens.
I do however pay very close attention to young guys wearing long black trench coats in August, guys with dyed blood red hair, and anyone wearing a
hockey mask any day that is not Halloween and away from the ice rink.

Should I try to breastfeed again?
My daughter will only be 16 mos old by the time our second child is born in December. After 5 torturous weeks of trying to breast feed our first baby I decided to give up. At first my daughter wouldn't latch, then I couldn't produce enough milk, she constantly fell asleep possibly bc she was underfed, and I caught 2 breast infections and the entire time was excruciating pain. Breastfeeding is very important to me and I am trying to decide if I should even try this time again while chasing a toddler around. My partner works alot and I have little help where I live. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Go into this thinking I can do this. My first child didn't latch for 4 weeks, my second was on the boob within an hour and never looked back. Find a LLL meeting and go before the baby is born to discuss things. this way you will have a support system if you have any trouble. If you are not happy with one LLL meeting you can always try another, most are great and open to you doing what is best for you and your baby.posted 07/27/2011 by Susangen
Do what is best for yourself, your baby and your family. If the bonding part is what you crave most, snuggle with your baby topless so that you are skin to skin. That is an amazing way to bond with your infant without going through the pain or discomfort of breastfeeding. Just an option :)posted 07/27/2011 by katielourn11

LONDON (AP) - Natalie Portman says hitting Chris Hemsworth was "one small slap for womankind."
The actress, who reprises her role as Jane Foster in "Thor: The Dark World," gives the superhero a smack in the Marvel sequel.
"Thor: The Dark World" has its world premiere in London Tuesday and is out in U.S. cinemas Nov. 8.
At a promotional event on Saturday, Portman said that she channeled all her single girlfriends: "You hear all these stories about guys and it's just good to get a nice on-screen slap like 'you didn't call me back.'"
The intention may have been payback but, according to Hemsworth, the result was less so.
"It just got really funny and ridiculous you know. It's like in high school when you're not meant to laugh," he said.

Orcatron is a carnivorous alien space whale that was held captive on the Death Ball. He is a parody of the Seaworld mascot Shamu the Killer Whale.
Dark Laser used it on a water show with Timmy, where Orcatron ate him, but then vomited him back up. Later when Timmy blew up the Death Ball for the eleventeenth time, Wanda poofed up Orcatron to eat Dark Laser. Orcatron said that, while not the best, it was tasty, and them swam in space.

NANCY ARMOUR, AP National Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — With Keith Appling, Gary Harris and Adreian Payne all scoring in double figures for No. 2 Michigan State, Branden Dawson came up with the biggest basket, tipping in a miss with less than six seconds left to give the Spartans a 78-74 victory over top-ranked Kentucky on Tuesday night.
James Young missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the Spartans erupted in delight, with Harris holding up his index finger.
No. 1, indeed.
It was the earliest meeting of 1 vs. 2, and the first since 2008, and the matchup did not disappoint for many who see it as a sneak preview of the Final Four. Julius Randle had 23 of his 27 points in the second half, as the Wildcats (2-1) erased a 13-point deficit. But they couldn't overcome their troubles at the free throw line, going a dismal 20 of 36.

In Memory of
Lois Victoria Barberis
May 3, 1945 - May 18, 2011
Our mother, Lois Victoria Barberis, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2011 surrounded by her family. She was born May 3, 1945 in a Japanese Internment Camp in Weihsien China. American Soldiers rescued Lois, her mother Denyse, Brother Jeff and Sister Dee Dee on August 12, 1945. Her father Julius was held prisoner for another 8 years. After being rescued the Red Cross put them on a boat to San Francisco, CA. On the boat our grandmother met a family that lived in Middletown. Our mom and her family traveled through Calistoga to visit them and decided Calistoga was were they would live. When our mother was a young girl she met our father Robert Barberis working in his families grocery store, Ding's Food Center. She told our grandmother "Someday I'm going to marry him!" She lived in Calistoga and attended the elementary school until she was 8. Shortly after our grandfather was released they all moved to Beirut Lebanon. She came back to Calistoga off and on until their family moved back to Calistoga permanently in the early 60's. She remet our father, fell in love and they were married on February 29, 1964. She had 4 children in a span of 4 years and 2 ½ months. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She dedicated her life to her family.
She helped start the Cooperative Preschool in Calistoga; She was a volunteer Red Cross Swimming Instructor. She spent countless hours volunteering for everything. She was on the Calistoga Wildcat Boosters Board for many years and she was a life member of Soroptimist International of Calistoga.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 45 years Robert N Barberis and is survived by her children Misti Harrell(Paul), Debbie Barberis, Patsy Barberis and Robert Barberis Jr.(Kristen), her grandchildren Hailey and Orion Harrell, Kaleo Garrigan and RJ Barberis, her brother Jeff Thomson and sister Dee Dee Butler and many nieces and nephews.
Lois loved entertaining and having lots of people around so in honor of that a celebration of her life will be held at 1:00 on Monday May 30 at the family home. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the March of Dimes or Napa Valley Hospice.
Arrangements under the direction of Morrison Funeral Chapel, St. Helena, CA.

There are a lot of people that think being a graphic designer is easy. Sure it looks fun and is fun at times, but what they don't see is the behind the scenes work that takes place to make a success of the chosen career field. So to everyone out there who wants to be a graphic designer, here is a short article describing what it's about. You don't need a marketing degree to be successful in the field and you definitely don't have to be Einstein. Let's dig in.
What does it take?
As with any artistic venture, your success as a graphic designer relies on more than a degree from a highly-ranked university. Art is not mathematical. It cannot be taught in formulas, and it has no set answers. Natural talent is demanded from graphic design students. Artistic imagination and a natural eye for order are instrumental to succeeding both in class and after graduation.
Good design is regulated by order, but is far from formulaic. Beyond natural talent and a grasp on the fundamentals of design, successful graphic designers have panoramic sensibilities. They are naturally in tune with large cultural movements, but are also aware of the details that comprise the trends.
Graphic designers understand white space, leading, shadow and color; and they understand the mass mentality that makes the elements marketable and attractive. A graphic designer or creative director must wield an understanding of the cultural context in which a design operates to successfully create and propel trends.
Graphic designers are at the forefront of campaign launches in marketing, government and entertainment. They structure the visual art that accompanies such cultural movements as presidential campaigns and video games. They design the logo of your newspaper and the widgets on your favorite site.
They are everywhere, and though the field is competitive in certain markets, most recent graduates (with a stellar portfolio) can easily find an entry-level job.
What types of jobs are available?
Location, location, location!
As previously mentioned, the graphic design industry is a ubiquitous field, and there is a constant demand for the skill and insight of graphic designers. To capitalize on the industry, look for jobs nationwide after graduation. Don't limit yourself to the state from which you graduated or your hometown.
Currently, California offers the most graphic design jobs, but other states of note are Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Washington D.C. area is another forerunner in graphic design positions. (The highest paying and most competitive graphic design jobs are in the employ of the federal government.)
Find your niche.
For some, graphic design may be a foundation on which more advanced skills (such as animation) are built upon. Research requirements in your desired field before completing your education.
- Print Media – Specialized design services for newspapers, periodicals, books and publishers.
- Marketing – Creating advertisements, brochures, logos and other branding materials.
- Web Design – Build templates, pages, style sheets and graphics for online media.
- Video Game Artist – Create concepts, animate characters, illustrate character models and inanimate objects, specialize in textures.
- Animator – 3D or 2D animation, creating special effects in films, and many of the things that video game artists do.
Start your own business
Freelancing and entrepreneurship are always an option for graphic designers. If you choose to locate to an area with a limited number of graphic designers (or a limited number of decent graphic designers), the market is prime for your domination. If you are considering being your own boss, a few courses in business will help you with the basics.
Freelancers have to hustle, and they have to be organized. Though the pay can be good, and the work can lead to entrepreneurship, if there is ever a hitch in your income, you may be back to waiting tables for a few weeks. A good test is to freelance while in college.

Organ banks around the country have noted an increasing number of organs from donors who have died of overdoses.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez leaves a contradictory legacy: a bigger role for the left in Latin American politics, but a weaker radical socialist movement.
He also leaves stronger bonds between Latin American nations, making them more independent of the U.S.
Leaders from five continents are in Venezuela to attend the funeral of President Hugo Chavez on Friday.
The ceremony will mark a dramatic exit for a president who quarreled publicly with presidents and kings and ordered troops via live television to defend his country's borders.
Representing the United States will be Congressman Gregory Meeks of New York and former Congressman William Delahunt of Massachusetts. Both are Democrats.
Chavez often portrayed the United States as a great global evil.

Military Law
Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
Thank you for your question today, I look forward to assisting you. I have nearly 20 years of legal experience in various disciplines, including JAG.
She won't lose her right to the benefit based on losing the ability to make decisions for herself. Her capacity to make decisions is not where she derives the benefit.
Now, using the benefit can become a problem without a healthcare power of attorney or directive in place, so it is something that she should do. However, if she were to become incapacitated mentally, there are ways to become her agent after the fact. That is not an ideal situation, but it can be done.
Regardless, no her incapacity is not a triggering event for the loss of any benefits.
She did an advanced directive but we didn't make it to the attorneys office in time to do a power of attorney. She had a stroke and I have to be able to take care of some of her finances...pay bills, buy meds etc. I am worried that if I do guardianship so I can handle her finances she might lose some or all of her monetary benefits. Then if and hopefully she will come back around, she would be so upset if I lost her her benefits
Being placed under a medical guardianship is not one of the methods of losing those benefits listed anywhere.
Remarriage (for Tricare), purchase of insurance coverage outside of Tricare. These ar the types of things that make you lose the coverage.
Survivor benefits, if based off of his military retirement, also won't stop. They are not needs based. Now, if she is getting a survivor's pension, which is very small, becoming her guardian could adjust her income for purposes of that amount....but we're talking about $250 a month, at most.

ZF-6306: Zend_Rest_Client: Content-type for POST requests (JSON support)
* Perform a POST or PUT
* Performs a POST or PUT request. Any data provided is set in the HTTP
* client. String data is pushed in as raw POST data; array or object data
* is pushed in as POST parameters.
* @param mixed $method
* @param mixed $data
* @param string $enctype
* @return Zend_Http_Response
protected function _performPost($method, $data = null, $enctype = null)
$client = self::getHttpClient();

final public function restPost($path, $data = null, $enctype = null)
return $this->_performPost('POST', $data, $enctype);
This is a quite big issue, need to implement a REST client for one of my clients, and they require a specific enctype to be set.
However, the above issue blocks me from implementing it with Zend_Rest_Client as the setRawData function call now clears my previously set enctype through self::getHttpClient()->setEncType('MY_ENCTYPE')
Bart, you are right. We just fought like maniacs here trying to figure out why it wouldn't work, and patching Zend_Rest_Client as patched above worked first shot. Thanks but please fix in the core framework in 1.11.12.
Wouldn't it be better to change Zend_Http_Client's setRawData() ?
We don't need to overwrite the EncType there if it is NULL!
/** * Set the raw (already encoded) POST data. * * This function is here for two reasons: * 1. For advanced user who would like to set their own data, already encoded * 2. For backwards compatibilty: If someone uses the old post($data) method. * this method will be used to set the encoded data. * * $data can also be stream (such as file) from which the data will be read. * * @param string|resource $data * @param string $enctype * @return Zend_Http_Client */ public function setRawData($data, $enctype = null) { $this->raw_post_data = $data; if (!is_null($enctype)) { $this->setEncType($enctype); } if (is_resource($data)) { // We've got stream data $stat = @fstat($data); if($stat) { $this->setHeaders(self::CONTENT_LENGTH, $stat['size']); } } return $this; }

Intelligence agencies of the US and the UK secretly infiltrated into the communication links of popular email providers like Yahoo and Google to get access to its millions of emails, a media report said today.
The National Security Agency in collaboration with its British counterpart GCHQ has secretly exploited the data links to collect the data of hundreds of millions of user accounts.
"By tapping those links, the agency has positioned itself to collect at will from hundreds of millions of user accounts, many of them belonging to Americans," The Washington Post said in an exclusive report, adding that the NSA does not keep everything it collects, but it keeps a lot.
The report, however, has been denied by the NSA, whose chief General Keith Alexander said that such an activity to his knowledge has never happened. Both Google and Yahoo expressed concern over this.
The Washington Post said its report is based on the classified documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the CIA whistleblower, and interviews with US Government officials.
"According to a top-secret accounting dated Jan 9, 2013, the NSA's acquisitions directorate sends millions of records every day from internal Yahoo and Google networks to data warehouses at the agency's headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland," it said.
"In the preceding 30 days, the report said, field collectors had processed and sent back 181,280,466 new records including metadata, which would indicate who sent or received e-mails and when, as well as content such as text, audio and video," the daily reported.
The Washington Post reported that the NSA's principal tool to exploit the data links is a project called MUSCULAR, operated jointly with the agency's British counterpart, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
From undisclosed interception points, the NSA and the GCHQ are copying entire data flows across fiber-optic cables that carry information among the data centers of the Silicon Valley giants, the report said.

Stacey Lacey is a British beauty who likes to strip and get naughty on camera. There's nothing not to like about that, but what about the website that carries this cutie's name? Is it beyond reproach as well? Read on and you'll find out.
The site has a solid design and navigation isn't an issue at all. The videos are all featured in the same section, so you can get right to enjoying them the second that you get in. There are 62 vids to check out right now and they're all worth watching.
The flicks can be downloaded in Windows Media and MP4 files and they both provide HD playback. You can also stream the movies in an embedded player. The 75 photo sets feature the same kind of action that's present in the vids. The galleries are comprised of high-res images that are always nice and sharp. The one bad thing about the picture sets is that you can't download them in Zip files.
The videos mostly show Stacey stripping and showing off her naked body, but there are some that are a little different. There are at least a couple that feature girl-on-girl kissing and caressing and there's also a bit of blowjob action and simulated sex. Yes, you read that last part right. There is indeed a scene in which it looks like Stacey is getting fucked by an older man, but if you pay close attention, you can see that his cock isn't actually inside her tight pussy.
The website goes out of its way to make it seem as though it's updating, but it's just changing the dates to make the content look newer. Once you get through its vids and pics, you can turn your attention the to the many bonus sites. There are over 30 and they're all part of the Girlies Pass network. They have names like Chloe Lovette, Teen Ambitions, Von Rebel, Kelly Cane and Maria Spanks. Many of them have also stopped growing.
Stacey Lacey could take steps to make visiting her site a more interactive experience. It would also be nice if she could get back to posting new material. That being said, the website is pretty good as it is and it's worth a look despite its flaws.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Does the flat file API has a method fetchCompany??? Isn't the methods in a flat file API more like:
* findByPosition * findByIndex * findFirst * findNext
> That's the answer to both questions.
I can't see how you answered how making such a change easy to do, has overwhelming benefits during development.

At 8:53 a.m. Wednesday, Valdosta Police responded to a T-bone wreck on North Valdosta Road.
Officers say A black Dodge Ram turning left on Country Club Drive, failed to yield to a silver Jaguar headed northbound.
The Dodge pickup flipped over... Suspending the driver in the air.
But because both drivers were wearing their seat belts, only minor injuries were reported.
"The driver of the truck was inverted in their truck, up on their side," said Alex Adair, with the Valdosta Police Department. "Still wearing their seat belt. Still hanging there. This proves that wearing seat belts saves lives. This driver could have easily been ejected and this would have been a bad day for all of us."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says seat belts reduce fatal injuries in pickup trucks by 60 percent.
