Use this Codling Moth Kit to trap codling moths. Codling moths are the number one pest of apples, pears and walnuts in many areas. Codling moths deposit eggs right on the fruit, larvae then tunnel directly inside to feed, so timing of control is absolutely critical. Treating larvae too late or too early will cost you! Position codling moth traps before bloom and monitor through harvest. Codling Moth Kit includes 1CP trap, wire hanger, three pheromone lures and three trap liners. Replace liners as needed and lures every 3 to 4 weeks. Use two kits per block up to 10 acres in size, and add an extra kit for every additional 10 acres. The Trécé pheromones lures are applied to rubber septas for even release over a 3 to 4 week duration for better capture rates. If you are not sure which pests are a problem in your area, check with your county Extension agent or land grant university.Kit includes:(1) 1CP trap (plastic top, hanger and bottom)(3) Pheromone lures(3) Trap linersNOTE: Insect traps and lures provide an early warning system to detect adult insect emergence. They are not intended to reduce the insect population.

Indiana Town Unveils 'A Christmas Story' Statue to Commemorate 30-Years of the Triple-Dog-Dare
Subscribe to WGBFAM on
It has been 30-years since the now holiday classic movie 'A Christmas Story' was released in theaters. To commemorate the film, set in northwestern Indiana, a group in Hammond decided to erect a statue portraying one of its most memorable images – the triple-dog-dare flagpole scene.
To celebrate their 30th anniversary, the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority recently unveiled a bronze statue of Flick, played in the movie by actor Scott Schwartz, at a special event Wednesday night at their office.
In fact, Scott Schwartz made an appearance at CVA headquarters to help present the new statue to the residents of Hammond. "I'm pretty much speechless at this point," said Schwartz. "It's breath taking."
'A Christmas Story', which was released in 1983 was based on the tales of Hammond native Jean Shepherd.
"The South Shore CVA wanted to do something special for our 30th anniversary, as well as the 30th anniversary of the holiday classic 'A Christmas Story,'" said President and CEO Speros Batistatos. "In honor of Jean Shepherd and the movie, the iconic "Triple Dog Dare" scene is now immortalized on one of the Indiana Welcome Center's flag poles."

Special guests lend star power to Clayton Heights Christmas concert
Christmas concerts are meant to be uplifting, but this Wednesday, the Clayton Heights Secondary is taking the concept to a whole new level, thanks to some special guests.
With an award-winning Canadian jazz vocalist and a motivational speaker sharing the bill along with 250 band students, the Clayton Heights Music Department Holiday Celebrations Concert definitely won't be your average school concert.
Special guest Denzal Sinclaire is a leading jazz vocalist, recording artist, pianist and composer who's earned multiple Juno nominations, a 2004 national Jazz award for Best Album, and has released three albums. His singing has been compared to Johnny Hartmann and Nat King Cole.
Motivational speaker and author Joe Roberts – "the Skid Row CEO" – will also be part of the festivities.
Roberts was a street kid and drug addict who turned into a successful businessman.
By coincidence, Clayton Heights music director Paulina Pekova has connections to them both.
She went to McGill University along with Sinclaire and her husband Campbell Ryga, an award-winning jazz alto-saxophonist, and they've stayed in touch.
Sinclaire, who's got an upcoming performance in Victoria, is flying out early to rehearse and perform with the Clayton Heights students.
"That really shows you everything that he's about," says Pekova, "that he would take time out of his busy schedule and hang out with a bunch of teenagers, and show them the possibility of success that's available through music."
Sinclaire will perform a number of songs with the Grade 9 band, the jazz band and the concert band.
Pekova was researching addiction and mental health topics for a Pro-D Day at her school, and, she says, "The name 'Joe Roberts' kept popping up."
She didn't manage to track down one of his books in time for her presentation, but she didn't forget about the self-help guru.
While traveling with her family through Rogers Pass over the summer holidays, she saw a man pushing a shopping cart, behind followed by a motor home, who was being filmed.
She realized it was Joe Roberts. At a stop, she introduced herself, and discovered Roberts is leading The Push For Change: Uniting for Homeless Youth, and the camera was there as part of a promotion for the upcoming campaign.
[At right: Canadian jazz vocalist Denzal Sinclaire rehearses with Music teacher Paulina Pekova and the Clayton Heights music students in preparation for an upcoming Christmas concert.]
On May 1, he'll set out on a cross-Canada journey, pushing a shopping cart along the way. It's a call to action designed to highlight the issues of youth homelessness, and to work for awareness and prevention.
"We vowed to get in touch" once school began, she said.
She was thrilled when he immediately offered to speak at the Clayton Heights Christmas Concert.
The music department includes more than 250 students, including 90 students in Grade 8.
They're just about to release a CD (the first copies will be available at the concert.) What's more, the students have been invited by the Royal College of Music in London to perform in April. They've also accepted an invitation to perform in Hawaii at the Kodiak Bowl.
"I'm so super proud of the kids," Pekova says. "They work really hard."
They're not only learning music, they're learning about life, she added.
The Clayton Heights Music Department Holiday Celebrations Concert, presented at the Bell Performing Arts Centre, Wed. Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15, available at the door.

My smoker has bit the dust and I had a craving for some BBQ Ribs, what to do.
Using our conventional oven and my rib racks, I was able to produce 3 racks of some fairly decent tasting ribs.
Rubbed the racks with my usual dry rub and let them sit overnight, placed them in a 260 degree oven at 12:30PM and let them slow bake until around 6PM. Basted them with some sauce and served them up at about 6:30 with a baked potatoe and some homemade red cabbage and apples. Only thing missing was the smoke ring and flavor.

by Jamie Buckingham
Pasted on the mirror in the bathroom of our little vacation cabin in the mountains of western North Carolina is a Latin phrase: Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in Wis. "All things are changing, and we are changing with them."
My dad, who built the cabin many years ago, had taught Latin and English before going into business. Words, he felt, were designed by God to reveal truth. This was one of the truths he wanted his children to grasp. The last time I was there the leaves had fallen from the trees. The mountains were bleak. Life had gone into hibernation.
I opened the house, swept the brown leaves off the front porch, and put out the rocking chairs. It was for habit's sake, for winter was in the air and it was too cold to sit and rock. I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. "All things are changing ... indeed."
A London psychiatrist once asked: "Do you know why people get drunk on New Year's Eve?" The answer—which sounds quite British: "Because clocks are round." It's the bored who get drunk—and take drugs. The fact the hour hand has returned to midnight and the year is starling over is more than some can take.
It's sameness—not change—which drives people to drink. But self-imposed change, the kind which leads to growth, not decay .... ah, that calls for a different strength.
I think of my dad, who, on his 80th birthday, decided to grow a mustache. "All my life," he told me, "I've wondered how I would look in a mustache. When I was a young man teaching Latin and English only the 'riff-raff' wore facial hair. Later, as a businessman in a small southern town, it was considered improper to have a mustache, beard or even sideburns. Besides, your mother said she could never kiss a man with a mustache. Now today I am 80. I'm going to grow a mustache."
I felt like shouting. He wore it almost five years and shaved it off. "It just isn't me," he said. Not all are as flexible. A few years ago, my wife, Jackie, and I visited the large denominational church I once pastored. It had been 10 years since we'd left town and that summer we arranged our vacation travel to be there on a Sunday morning.
It was 11:05 a.m. when we pulled up in front of the big, red-brick church with the tall, white Georgian columns. We were five minutes late. As we climbed the front steps Jackie said, "Odd, everything seems the same." And it was. We were greeted (warmly, I might add, even though our departure 10 years before had been something less than cordial) by the same ushers who had been ushers when I was there.
The only difference was they were balder, greyer or fatter. But the same six men who used to hang out in the front vestibule during the worship service—going out on the front steps occasionally for a smoke—were still there; shaking hands, passing out bulletins and showing late-comers like us to a seat.
Inside the sanctuary, I paused briefly. Standing just inside the door behind the back pew, I looked over the auditorium. There they were, all our old friends, sitting in the same pews they had occupied 10 years before.
Shirley Goodrich, the big woman with the bigger voice, and her little husband, Ed, who sat on the next to last row on the left hand side, were still there. They looked up, recognized us, and smiled warmly. Jack and Rebecca Sims—Jack was the auditor at one of the cotton mills and also served as chairman of the deacons—were right where I had left them 10 years before.
They sat in the middle section, three rows back, where Jack could audit everything that went on. Rebecca looked the same, but Jack's hair was now silver white, perhaps an occupational hazard of being an auditor. It was an eerie sensation—as though I had been carried back in time 10 years. The order of service the usher put in my hand was the same one I had designed when I first came as pastor—18 years before.
I glanced up at the choir. Same robes. Same faces, with a few new ones sprinkled in. There was a new pastor, of course, but his sermon that morning was the same kind these people had heard—and wanted to hear—for 60 years. Omnia mutantur for sure—but in this case nos et NON manimur in Os. All things are changing, but not us.
Jesus likened the Holy Spirit to new wine. Bubbling. Expanding. Demanding growth and change. The kind which can't be poured into an inflexible container without causing a split. Does the Holy Spirit split churches? You bet.
Unless the church is flexible, it's in for big trouble when the Holy Spirit begins to move. Recently one of the nation's best known evangelists was asked by his pastor to leave his denominational church and join a charismatic body. The reason: the evangelist had been "filled with the Spirit," The church leaders were disturbed.
"He's not the same as he used to be," the pastor said. "If he stays, he'll cause a split in the church." It's a sad condemnation—not on the evangelist, but on the church and its rutted leadership. God is not only love—He is movement. To follow means change. Yet God does not force growth and change. If His followers do not stay under the cloud, He simply waits until the shifting sands fill their wilderness fill their ruts at both ends forming graves.
Then He raises up a new generation who are flexible, expandable and able to hold the new wine. That's the way God is. All things are changing, and the older I grow the more I resist it—opting for that which is safe and comfortable. Faith, though, is adventure in action. Given the alternatives, I choose to grow.

Sixth Annual Public Law Conference for state and local government attorneys will
focus upon the intersection of the private lives of public employees. State law,
regulations and employer policies impose limitations upon what public employees
can do, both "on" and "off the clock." But such regulation often raises
questions of the employee's First Amendment and privacy rights, among other
thorny issues. How far can — or should — the government, as employer, go in
regulating employee conduct? This question is the heart of this year's
Divided into two panel
discussions, the program will include a review of various legal restrictions
upon public employee activity, such as the state Conflict of Interest Law, as
well as consideration of the various competing interests that arise when the
government as employer attempts to restrict or regulate employee conduct, from
both the public employer and public employee perspectives.
conference keynote speaker is the Hon. Timothy S. Hillman, of
the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In addition to
serving as both a state and federal court judge, Hillman's career has included
serving as counsel for several cities and towns. Recently appointed Inspector
General Glenn A. Cunha will also participate as a panelist.

My first taste of chicken pot pie spoiled me. It was a frozen TV dinner type of pot pie that came in a cute little aluminum pie tin. The filling, complete with perfect cubes of chicken, was more than flavorful to my kid palate, but I was all about the crust, and this pot pie had plenty of it. Hot from the oven, I broke through the flaky top crust and dug right down to the jackpot below—the buttery bottom crust that was both crisp and moist from soaking up the gravy.
I've seen plenty of pot pies in my day, but unfortunately most restaurant or scratch versions never perform the full monty. Whether it's a lazy man's puff pastry lid, crumble topping, or even a pie dough top, I long for crust at the bottom. I know, it's easier to just slap a lid on it, but I finally decided to make one from scratch, and it was all or nothing.
Obviously the crust is really important to me, so I went for broke with an all-butter crust. A bit of sugar lends it the sweet edge that I remember, and instead of water I drizzled in whole milk to ensure that it was extra rich and tender.
The chicken filling requires a few steps, but it's straightforward enough. First, simmer boneless chicken (I used a combo of both white and dark meat) in chicken broth (for flavor), and then shred into bite sized chunks. Second, sauté a mixture of vegetables (leeks, celery, and carrots) until just about soft. Third, whisk up a quick roux in the pot, to which everything is then combined into a thick and hearty filling with peas, thyme, and parsley.
Instead of plowing ahead and filling the pie, I stopped and cooled the filling down first. Why? Because in my experience, a hot and steamy filling gives you nothin' but a soggy crust. A chilled filling keeps the crust crisp and allows it extra time to bake before the center becomes too hot and overcooked (it's also a great make-ahead step, by the way). To further ensure a well-done bottom crust, I baked the dish on a preheated pizza stone, and in the lower third of the oven.
In my deep-sided souffle dish, the pot pie took about 75 minutes to heat through to the center, but it was worth the wait. Cracking through the rich buttery top not only revealed piping hot, moist, herbed chicken and veggies in a luscious gravy, but a perfect interior crust that will please any crust fanatic.

Hi guys, I was looking for a way to count the number of pages an html site has. Like if I've been told a certain site has 500 pages, how can I count and make sure.
google itsite:yoursitename.com
gives a reasonable estimate.
But why exactly do you wish to know?
need to scrap some basic info from each (and every) page. so have to estimate the time it would take.
Make a site map showing only html it php extensions. That will show exact
The easiest way is to ask the people who run the site, they should be able to at least estimate the answer. You have got their permission, haven't you? Otherwise it would be theft, and if that's what you're planning then you're a brave person coming on here and admitting it in public...
Oh absolutely. The actual owner of the website (who is a friend) has no IT skills. Her programmer is not available for a month and I'm needed to make her a new report, the data for which is in separate pages.
Thanks for all your suggestions guy.
Sounds about right. Every project I have ever taken over sounded just the same -"the previous designer went MIA"
If she doesn't know how many pages she's got (or you don't trust her estimate), the best way to be sure is to ask her for the username and password to access the control panel or FTP server, and then you can just log in and count them.
Yep thanks, that's exactly what I did. She didn't know the login/password either then, but then found she it.

Chicago's Biggest Cigar Party
Posted: Apr 12, 2007 12:29pm ET
I'm back from Chicago, site of Cigar Aficionado's latest Big Smoke, which was Tuesday night. I met quite a few happy cigar smokers, and who could blame them? They were lighting up indoors, which you can do in fewer and fewer places every day, and they sampled cigars from a host of cigarmakers, drink fine spirits, wine and beer and had a great time. They even met some of the big names in the industry, including Carlos Fuente Jr., Tim Ozgener, Christian Eiroa and Rocky Patel.
(They might want to change the name to the Snowy City though—I woke up Wednesday morning to a slushy mess that cancelled three consecutive flights of mine. I felt lucky to sleep at home last night.)
Tuesday was a three-cigar night for me. I started with a C.A.O. Sopranos Associate at a cocktail party preceding the Big Smoke. (Joe Gannascoli, who played the late Vito Spatafore on The Sopranos, was at the party, so what could have been more appropriate to light up?) It was very tasty, but I wasn't able to smoke more than about a third, because I had to run an errand in a different part of the hotel, the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, which no longer allows smoking in its lobby. Tough break for me.
Cigar No. 2 was a new one from Puros Indios. It was an 83rd Anniversary Perfecto Maduro, made in honor of Rolando Reyes Sr.'s 83 years. I've met Reyes a few times, including once in his factory in Danlí, Honduras. He's a fascinating man, and one of most gifted cigar rollers in the business. His construction techniques are amazing. The perfecto is a smaller version of his Diadema, which might be the toughest cigar to roll in the cigar world. Imagine a pointed head, a foot that has curves like a light bulb, and then try to make it all look good using only a tobacco leaf and a curved knife. Not easy. The cigar had a rich, earthy flavor. It's just hitting the market now.
My last cigar was my own personal reward for the day, something I had brought from the office. It was another perfecto, a Padrón 80th Anniversary that I brought back from my January trip to Nicaragua. It's a flavor bomb, rich, sweet, spicy at just the right times…lovely.
The busy cigar week continues: tonight is a black-tie dinner for charity, and more than half the cigar industry is in town. You'll read all about it on Gordon Mott's blog soon.

A more appropriate smoke with Vito Spatafore would have been the Finocchio.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/3/2013 (1621 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jim Slater is down with an injury, Patrice Cormier is up from St. John's and Alex Burmistrov is fighting to get back into the lineup.
That, in a nutshell, sums up the developments Wednesday with the Winnipeg Jets, who gathered at MTS Iceplex following Tuesday's dominating 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs and with the New York Rangers in town for Thursday's tilt (7 p.m. TSNJets/TSN 1290).
Slater, the veteran centre, apparently broke his hand blocking a shot Tuesday night and according to coach Claude Noel, will be gone "week-to-week." The Jets recalled the 22-year-old Cormier from the IceCaps to fill his spot in the lineup, although Noel said his insertion will be a game-time decision.
Originally drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2008 NHL entry draft, Cormier has 11 points (7G, 4A) in 32 games with the IceCaps this season and has been their best player in the last month.
"The reports I got [indicate] he's been playing quite well," said Noel of Cormier. "He's been very aggressive and been one of their better players. We get game reports every game and he's done well. He brings energy, he's a strong guy, good on face-offs and he's played very well. I think he'll be enthused to get back up here."
As for Burmistrov – who was a healthy scratch from the lineup Tuesday – he wasn't saying much about Noel's decision. And the coach was just as mum.
"That's a coach's decision. I guess I'm not playing that good," Burmistrov said. "I will just stick with working hard in practice and trying to get back."
"It was just a coach's decision... which is one I don't want to share with you," added Noel. "Alexander and I have a good relationship and I've always been open with him and spoke to him. And I've spoken to him all the way along. I spoke to him again today. For me, it's something between him and I that we need to work out."
The Jets play host to the Rangers Thursday and then are in Toronto and Ottawa Saturday and Sunday before returning home for four in a row at MTS Centre against Boston, back-to back with Washington and then Tampa Bay.

USS Wasp (CV-7) Aircraft carrier
The afternoon of September 15, 1942, Wasp (CV-7), Hornet (CV-8), North Carolina (BB-55) and 10 other warships were escorting a convoy carrying the 7th Marine Regiment from Espiritu Santo to Guadalcanal as reinforcements. Japanese submarine I-19 had fired a spread of six 21-inch type 93 torpedoes at Wasp. Two torpedoes struck Wasp's starboard side almost simultaneously, one near the gasoline storage tanks and the other near the forward bomb magazine. About twenty seconds later, another explosion occurred. Gasoline fires broke out near the athwartships gasoline main on the second deck and low in the ship near ruptured gasoline tanks. Another major fire started forward in the hangar. Gasoline poured freely from ruptured tanks onto the surface of the water. When that gasoline ignited, the forward part of the ship was engulfed in flames. One 5"/38 ready ammunition locker ignited followed by internal explosions.
After a series of heavy explosions of gasoline vapor, loss of fire main pressure and failure of every attempt to bring the fire under control, the Captain ordered "abandon ship" at 3:20 p.m. Abandon ship was completed by 4:00 p.m., by which time Wasp was completely enveloped in flame. 193 sailors died and 366 were wounded in the attack. 45 planes went down with the ship. Wasp stubbornly continued to float and was sunk by her escorts that night.
The USS Wasp (CV-7) WWII War Diaries, list Kenneth Eugene Farrar Mess Attendant 1st Class, as a member of her crew at the time. Logs list him among 103 crew members as, Missing in Action at Sea 15 Sep 1942. The USN declared him dead: MIA/KIA 16 Sep 1943. Next of Kin father: Mr. Kenneth H. Farrar Baskerville, Virginia

LUTCHER — The sheriff in St. James Parish is concerned the parish's oldest tradition — and biggest tourist attraction — may face an unwanted enemy this year.
A forecast of thunderstorms, and worse yet, a dreaded southerly wind could cause the annual Christmas Eve tradition of lighting bonfires along the Mississippi River to be postponed, St. James Sheriff Willy Martin said.
"Quite frankly, right now, I don't feel very comfortable with the conditions being predicted," Martin said.
Martin said he, Parish President Timmy Roussel and the parish's director of emergency preparedness, Eric Deroche, will monitor the weather conditions Monday evening leading up to the traditional 7 p.m. lighting of the bonfires. He said permit-holders understand the rules and that they aren't allowed to light up until the "all-clear" is given by the sheriff.
"We have a timeline set to do a conference call so that we can evaluate the conditions," Martin said. "Our main culprit is the wind. The only thing that has stopped us from lighting is wind direction. Our concern is whether the wind direction will be pushing hot ambers off the levee toward residential areas. We don't want to see any houses set on fire."
Fred Zeigler, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Slidell office, said Martin has reason for concern.
Though temperatures are expected to be in the mid-60s about 7 p.m., a storm system is forecast to come through St. James Parish either Monday afternoon or evening. There is a 40 percent chance of rain, Ziegler said, as well as southerly winds between 7 and 12 mph.
There is a chance that those winds could "kind of settle down a little," decreasing to around 5 mph by 7 p.m., he said. But the winds will be a factor.
"Unfortunately, that's gonna be present," Ziegler said.
Should the weather be a factor, Christmas night and New Year's Eve are other options for lighting the bonfires, though Martin said no decisions have been made.
If the wind were to postpone the Christmas Eve tradition, it would put a damper on the biggest tourism day of the year for the parish. Thousands of area residents and visitors are expected to flock to the towns of Lutcher and Gramercy to catch a glimpse of the row of bonfires that will be lit along the east bank levee of the Mississippi River.
Martin said he's unsure just how many people will travel along River Road to take in the spectacle.
"We just know that it's probably the heaviest population we see as far as visitors in one day and one night than (on) any other night of the year in St. James," he said.
Audrey Temple, economic development coordinator at the St. James Welcome Center, said at last count, the welcome center had issued 110 permits to build bonfires along the levee. At $30 per permit, the bonfires have generated $3,300 in income.
However, Temple said, the economic boon to the parish will be much greater than that.
Although she said she didn't have any specific figures for the number of tourists who will visit the towns of Lutcher and Gramercy for the annual bonfires or the estimated economic impact they will bring, Temple echoed Martin in saying the bonfires bring more tourists to the parish than any other event during the year.
"My phone's been ringing off the hook with tourists asking about where to go and where to park for the bonfires," Temple said.
Martin said every sheriff's deputy in the parish will be on duty Christmas Eve, directing traffic along River Road. The busiest time will be from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., he said.
"Our main mission is to keep the traffic flowing slow, to try to prevent the road from shutting itself down," he said. "We'll keep it moving, just moving at a very slow pace."
Many visitors to the parish will be repeaters who have in mind a destination of where they want to be. However, newcomers need to know a few rules, he said.
For instance, there are no designated parking zones, and deputies will not direct people to parking locations. Parking is limited along River Road, though many visitors seek out empty parking lots on Main Street just a couple of blocks away from the levee.
In addition, the sheriff said, visitors who choose not to park and walk but rather to drive down River Road should be mindful and cautious of pedestrians crossing the highway. His suggestion for first-timers is to come early, find a parking spot and enjoy the show.

Value Picks
First, Third, and DH for 9/11/12
The Value Picks crew had a fine week, hitting five homers, scoring 10 runs, and driving in 15 more. That's a good thing, since the latest round of call-ups only brought one corner infielder likely to deliver fantasy value. That, however, doesn't mean there's nobody to be found on your waiver wire: almost all of my VPs are available in 80 percent of fantasy leagues.
Two things that bring fantasy value are playing time and production, but Luke Scott (Yahoo! 8%, ESPN 9%, CBS 16%) hasn't given us much of either. Even though Carlos Pena has been playing less, it's Jeff Keppinger who's been playing more at first base for the Rays. In just three September starts, Scott has picked up one hit—a home run—in 10 plate appearances. The home run is nice, but until Scott brings more value, he doesn't deserve the label of Value Pick.
This time around, Donaldson faces no competition from Inge, whose season is finished, and he has also improved his plate approach, striking out half as often (13 times) while walking eight times. This has led to a .314 BABIP and far greater success, dragging that earlier weak triple-slash line to its current .230/.271/.412 level. The .246 TAv that production represents lies between Donaldson's 40th and 50th PECOTA projection, meaning there's still some room for improvement. Donaldson's OPS won't keep pushing 1000, but he's definitely better than he was earlier this season, and his additional catcher qualification makes him a great addition to your roster.
ESPN fantasy owners are finally noticing Jordan Pacheco (Yahoo! 9%, ESPN 12%, CBS 26%): his ownership rate has tripled since last week, a great indication that he'll soon evaporate from ESPN waiver wires. He also homered last week on the same day my column went live, a fly ball that just snuck over the fence. Pacheco is still hitting in the middle of the Colorado order and remains a great corner infield option for batting average, if not power.
Power, on the other hand, is what Chris Carter (Yahoo! 7%, ESPN 6%, CBS 30%) provides. He also went yard last Monday but only got two additional hits all week, striking out nine times in 17 plate appearances. Fantasy owners can accept some whiffs in return for home runs, but the exchange rate needs to be a little better than this. Still, Carter has delivered a .257/.321/.500 triple-slash in the last four weeks, which is more representative of what you should get from him in the future.
Adding to this week's VP homer total was Brandon Belt (Yahoo! 19%, ESPN 18%, CBS 37%), who hit a ball into McCovey Cove as part of a three-hit day on Tuesday. He got two more hits last week and even picked up a start in left field on Friday. The homer was his first since June 22, and he's hit .303/.361/.434 over the past four weeks, part of the reason he's pushing the upper edges of VP ownership rates. All of these are signs that Belt could graduate from the VP list soon.
Another VP who might be departing soon is Yonder Alonso (Yahoo! 16%, ESPN 9%, CBS 40%), but he for the wrong reasons. Alonso is the one Value Pick incumbent who had a tough week, getting just two hits in 19 plate appearances, which could be a sign he's slowing down. He hit .300/.351/.411 in August, however, so I'll cut him some slack for now… but he's been warned.
AL-only VP
NL-only VP
PECOTA is understandably skeptical of Dominguez's line thus far, expecting a .229/.288/.362 triple-slash in his 50th percentile, and the sample space on him is rather microscopic at this point. He's going to cool off eventually, but he'll get plenty of chances to keep this hot hitting alive. One of the knocks on him has been his inability to make adjustments in the minors, and any development last season was hurt by a broken elbow. BP has noted in the past that he was one of the five best high school hitters when he was drafted and that he's always been young for his levels, which means that he could finally be taking a stride forward to realize his potential this year. As the season winds down, he's not a bad gamble for NL-only owners looking for hot corner help to put them over the top.
Playing Pepper: Injuries and Call-up Edition
Mike Carp (Yahoo! 5%, ESPN 9%, CBS 6%) was activated off the disabled list last week, but his .208/.312/.349 line this season doesn't make him worth a roster spot until he shows some improvement.
Expected to miss the remainder of the 2012 season after sustaining a late June injury, Lonnie Chisenhall (Yahoo! 2%, ESPN 4%, CBS 11%) returned to the Indians on Sunday, where he should easily push Jack Hannahan and his 622 OPS out of the starting lineup.
Matt Carpenter (Yahoo! 4%, ESPN 2%, CBS 9%) has started while David Freese nurses an ankle sprain and could get more time on the field if the injury proves more serious.
The stress fracture that's hobbling Kevin Frandsen is allowing Michael Martinez (Yahoo! 0%, ESPN 0%, CBS 0%) to step in at the hot corner, but PECOTA's .229/.273/.327 50th percentile projection doesn't make Martinez a good fantasy asset.
A hot streak from Alberto Callaspo (Yahoo! 2%, ESPN 0%, CBS 10%), who has hit .302/.384/.397 over the past four weeks, may have come at just the right time: Macier Izturis (Yahoo! 4%, ESPN 1%, CBS 12%) has a strained intercostal muscle, which could keep him out of the lineup for more than just a few days.
If Mark Teixiera is done for the season, look for Steven Pearce (Yahoo! 0%, ESPN 0%, CBS 1%) and Casey McGehee (Yahoo! 2%, ESPN 1%, CBS 7%) to share time at first base, but they'll only bring value in AL-only leagues.

I did a cartwheel when Belt finally hit that HR. I never thought you could win a roto title with a full-time 1B with only 5 HRs, but here I am knocking on the door (18 team league, but still).

Bochy is trying to keep the pressure off Belt, I'm sure, which is very understandable given Belt's struggles this season. But when you're behind Ty Wigginton and Casey Kotchman in R among 1B, that's not very helpful in roto.

Social Processes: Methodology · Types of test
The Rod and Frame Test (RFT) is a measure of perceptual style and was developed by Herman A. Witkin and his colleagues
The test involves the orientation of a tilted rod to the physical vertical when it is surrounded by a tilted frame.
Testees are required to sit in a dark room where a square frame was placed with a rod in it. To be specific, both the rod and the frame are glowing so that the testees can see them. The researcher can adjust the angles of tilts of the rod and the frame as well as the testee's chair. The testees are asked to adjust the rod to make it perpendicular (which should form a 90 angle with the floor). If they succeed in doing so, he would be considered as field-independent, while those who adjust the rod and make it perpendicular with the lower edge of the frame then he will be considered as field-dependent.

Home / Texas Educators / Investigations
Superintendents are required to report educator misconduct to the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) under Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 249.14.
Send your report to the attention of the Director of Educator Investigations via fax (512-936-8404) or mail (1701 N. Congress Ave., 5th Floor, Austin, TX 78701) and include the following information:
Review the following FAQs for information about reporting educator misconduct to SBEC.
1. What kind of educator misconduct must be reported to SBEC?
You must report two general categories of information according to TAC Code 249.14 :
2. How long do I have to make a report to SBEC?
You must make a report not later than seven calendar days after you first become aware of a reported criminal history or a termination or resignation based on an act of misconduct listed above. A settlement with a departing employee does not alter the superintendent's responsibility to report the information to SBEC.
3. What is a "reported criminal history"?
A reported criminal history includes information about an arrest, indictment, prosecution, conviction, or other disposition by the criminal justice system. Probation and deferred adjudication, for instance, are part of an individual's reported criminal history.
4. Am I required to report misconduct that did not result in arrest?
You must provide information to SBEC if any of the following misconduct forms the basis for the termination or resignation of a certified educator:
5. Am I required to complete an investigation if the educator resigns before the district completes its investigation?You must complete an investigation when there is reasonable cause to believe that the educator may have engaged in misconduct involving abuse or otherwise unlawful acts with a student or minor.
6. Is it necessary to make a report when criminal history information on a certified educator is obtained from the DPS Educator Criminal History Clearinghouse?
You are not required to report criminal history information obtained through the DPS Educator Criminal History Clearinghouse as a result of the Senate Bill 9/Texas Education Code 22.0831 fingerprinting process. This exception exists since criminal history information obtained through the DPS Educator Criminal History Clearinghouse has already been received by SBEC.
Texas Education Code 21.006 and SBEC rule 19 TAC 249.14 both require a superintendent to report to SBEC any criminal history of which they become aware relating to a certified educator. Criminal history information received from any other source, such as media reports, self-reporting, local police, etc. must still be reported to SBEC. Criminal history information includes not just criminal dispositions but also arrests and formal charges.
7. What are the consequences for failing to report this information?
The Board may sanction the certificate of a superintendent who fails to report the required information within seven calendar days. Possible sanctions include reprimand, suspension, or revocation of the superintendent's certificate.

text: Cornstalks 7030 Report post Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) EDIT/NOTE: This topic was from a competition in 2013 -- there is another contest being run this year (2014) which you can find HERE. Note: This thread is primarily for the organization/administration of the game dev competition. The thread which will have the posted theme and to which entries should be submitted to is located here. Be sure to check that thread the second the contest starts to get the theme! Update: The theme has been announced and the competition has officially started! Check the competition thread to see it!Update #2: The competition is over! Hey ya'll. We haven't had a competition in awhile. Therefore, I would like to create a competition. Here's what I'm thinking: The Week of Awesome What? The Week of Awesome will be a 7 day game development challenge/competition. People will have 7 days to make a game from start to finish, with prizes for the best! It should be a heck of a lot of fun, and 7 days should be enough time that you actually finish something. Please note that while I think 7 days is plenty of time to make a game, it's not enough time to make a large game (even with a team of 3 people). Dream up something awesome, but also realistic for you to complete. I want people to finish their games! This is not a competition for programmers only. Teams of up to 3 will be allowed, and I highly encourage a diverse team (i.e. graphics, sound, and programming, or whatever your game might specifically need). Too rarely do graphics/sound people participate in game dev jams, so I'm really hoping they will form/join a team and participate in this competition. Where? The Internet. It'll all happen here on GameDev.net. When?August 19th to August 26th, 2013. Specifically, it will start Monday, August 19th at 12:00AM (00:00 in military/24-hour time) (that is, Sunday night/Monday morning) and it will end Monday, August 26th at 12:00AM (00:00 in military/24-hour time) (that is, Sunday night/Monday morning) (a full 168 hours from the start time). All times are in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (UTC/GMT -4). Rules? Rules are slowly evolving, but currently: There will be a theme The theme will be announced at midnight when the competition begins; games must incorporate the theme in some way Games must be made during the 7 day period of the competition (i.e. you can't submit a game you made previously or are making now) You may use any library, game engine, tools, art, or audio to develop the game, provided you have the appropriate license to do so (if licensing is required for what you use); note that this means you may use code, art, and audio that you or others may have made in the past (the explicit limitation is that you may not use existing game logic (i.e. you may use libraries and engines, but you still have to actually make the game during the 7 day period)) You may target any platform (but at least 3 judges must play your game, so if you develop for something the judges don't have, you can't be accepted as an entry; I'll post a list of platforms judges have before the competition begins) People may work in teams of up to 3 people (a person may only be on one team, though) Games must work on the judges' platforms (that is, if you have a bug in your program and it works fine on your computer but not on a judge's, you must fix it for it to be judged (during the 7 day period; no work/updates/fixes may be done after the 7 days); at least 3 judges must be able to evaluate it for it to be accepted as an entry) If only 3 judges can run your game (and not of all the judges, if we have more than 3), you will not be punished/penalized (that is, judge scores will be averaged) You must develop for one of the following systems (because the judges don't have unlimited hardware/platforms to test on): Windows 7 Windows 8 iOS Android Google Chrome (latest version) IE 9 IE 10 Safari (latest version) Firefox (latest version) Opera (latest version) Judging? The contest will be judged by the following categories: Graphics: 20 pts (that is, does it look good, aesthetically, and do the graphics contribute to or detract from the game experience?) (note: it's not a contest of who has the most realistic graphics; rather, this category is about how well the graphics help the game express itself and create an engaging experience for the user) Audio: 20 pts (similar to the above, but with audio) Gameplay/fun factor: 20 pts First time user experience: 20 pts (that is, is it easy to install and run and start playing?) (clarification: your game doesn't need an installer; in fact, a download-and-play (without an installing process) is probably even preferable; what I meant by "easy to install" is that it includes all the necessary dependencies (or has good instructions for obtaining/installing necessary dependencies) such that a user can easily run you game without having to fight it; you'll also want to include at least some minimal instructions or a tutorial/in-game hints/tips). Theme: 20 pts (that is, how well the game incorporates the theme) The categories will be summed for the total score (100 pts being the max possible score). At least 3 judges will judge each game (hopefully every judge can judge each game, though); the judges' scoring will be averaged together when computing the final score for an entry. Judges will break any ties for the top 5 entries. There are currently 4 judges, though I wouldn't mind having a 5th: Alpha_ProgDes Cornstalks Gaiiden jbadams There will also be a People's Choice award. This award will be given to one game which the GameDev.net community votes for. The voting will be done in a thread for a period of 1 week (168 hours), and will take place after the competition period has ended. If there is a tie in the People's Choice award, the judges will break the tie. Submitting a game should be done by posting a download link to it in this thread. Alternatively, you may send it to me by PM. I will download it and provide a download link to the general public (so once you post it and I download it (I will tell you when I have received it), you can delete it from your post so as to not waste upload MB limits here on GDNet). If your game is too large to attach to a post in the thread, upload it to some file sharing site (Drop Box, Google Drive, etc. (try to avoid crappy file sharing sites)) and post a link to it. If you have issues or struggles, PM me. Prizes?First place winner: +X participation rep points (thanks GameDev.net!) (actual value not yet specified) $75 (USD)* 2 early adopter licenses for Spriter (thanks jbadams!) (valued at $25/each) (if there is a 3rd team member on the winning team, one team member will get an extra $25 while the other two members get the Spriter licenses) (if there is only 1 person on the winning team, only 1 license will be given) Second place winner: $40 (USD)* (if the first place team only has 1 team member, then the second place winning team will get the extra Spriter license; in the event that the second place team has two team members, one member will get the Spriter license and $7.50, and the other member will get $32.50; if there are 3 members, 1 will get the Spriter license, and the two other team members will get $25 each) People's Choice winner: $20 (USD)* Every person who submits a working and valid game: +50 participation rep points (thanks GameDev.net!) If you'd like to contribute to the pool, let me know! Interested People I have looked through this thread and come up with a list of people who have said they are interested in participating. If you form/join a team (whether it's a 1-man team or more), please let me know so I can remove you from this list and add you to the Teams list. This "pool" might be useful for forming teams. I suggest you form and organize your team (and plan who will do what) early.

Additionally, once the competition starts, you may join or form your own team at any time, provide that you (and your members) were not previously on a team. Q & AWhy 7 days? I wanted something short, but long enough that most people can still finish something (if they don't dream too big). I think 7 days gives you enough time to quickly make a game, even if you're busy with work and/or school, as you have several days you can work, even if it's just a few hours each day. What if I don't have 7 days to dedicate to a competition? I don't expect people to dedicate all 168 hours to making a game. I specifically chose 7 days so you can develop a game while still taking care of normal, every day life things that you have to do. (If you don't dream too big, you absolutely can finish a great game in 7 days while still working or going to school). Where will updates be posted? This thread. I will modify this post to be up to date at all times. You can check its history if you're curious about past states. Can I participate? Of course you can! Unless your country/state/city says you legally can't. I'm no lawyer. How can I help? The biggest help would be to get excited and participate! Also, spreading the word and encouraging others to participate would be great. Prize donors would be appreciated (even if it's small; it'll grow the pool). I want to be a judge; what should I do? Just post here or PM me letting me know. I'll put together a list of actual judges later. I'm hoping to get ~5ish. Can judges participate in the competition? I'm not decided on this. If they do, they will not judge their own game. If we get a lot of participants, probably not. If we don't get a lot of participants, then I'll probably let judges compete. Let me know what you think about this. Why are you doing this? I think this will be a fun event that will help to grow/strengthen the GameDev.net community. I like having fun. Any hints/tips? I'll try to put together a good list of hints/tips, but I'd recommend picking your weapons of choices now (language, libraries/engines, target platform, etc. and making sure your development environment is all set up). I also recommend you don't have 3 programmers on a team. Get an artist and/or a sound engineer on your team. They'll help make it pretty (which yes, is important). Do I waive any rights to any of the work I submit? Can I sell my game after the competition? You get to retain all rights to the work that you submit, so don't fret. The only thing that is required is that the game you submit for the competition must be allowed to be downloaded by the general public (even after the competition ends). If you update or progress your game after the competition, you don't need to make it publicly available. You also get to retain all source; source code is not required for judging. I have a question you didn't answer! Please ask it! Here, in this thread. I'll answer it and put it in this Q & A. *Paid via: Google Wallet (which means you'll be able to send money via Gmail/Google Wallet if you currently haven't received the necessary invite to do so), or Amazon WebPay, or an Amazon gift card for the cash amount, or a Steam gift card for the cash amount (you pick). If there are multiple team members, the amount will be divided evenly among the team members. If there is a remaining penny or two (due to not being able to perfectly divide the $ by the number of team members), the extra penny (or two) will be randomly given to a member (that is, if dividing $10 amongst 3 team members, two will get $3.33 and one will get $3.34).

Sep 24-25: Second Annual ISHTIP Workshop: Geographies of Intellectual Property
September 24-25, 2010
American University Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington DC, 20016
Room 603
Following our first successful meeting in June 2009 at Bocconi University in Milan on "The Construction of Immateriality," the second ISHTIP workshop, to be held September 24-26, 2010 in Washington, D.C. will consider "Geographies of Intellectual Property." By focusing on the heterogeneous roots of our present intellectual property regime the workshop aims to foster richer contextualization of this regime than can be provided by legal history working alone. To this end it will assemble scholars from across the disciplines – from anthropology, economic and business history, the history of science, literary and cultural history, as well as from legal history and theory.

Press Room
Press Releases
Senior Manager, Communications
San Francisco Bay Area (September 26, 2011)—Fair Trade USA, the leading nonprofit certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States, and Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), a globally-respected, independent third-party certification company, announced details of their new strategic partnership today.
As part of a new innovation strategy, Fair Trade USA plans to pilot and introduce updated standards that will extend the benefits of Fair Trade to millions more farmers and workers; provide U.S. businesses with more sustainable supply options; and empower consumers to make every purchase matter through greater selection and availability of Fair Trade Certified™ products. The organization's goal is to double the impact of Fair Trade by 2015. In support of this ambitious goal, SCS has been engaged to conduct audits and certify new producer groups that now will be able to join the Fair Trade movement.
"Fair Trade USA is partnering with SCS because of its demonstrated expertise and appetite for innovation in the certification world," said Paul Rice, President and CEO of Fair Trade USA. "We believe their 25 years of experience and 13 separate global accreditations, including programs accredited under ISO 65, speak volumes about SCS's well-respected work as a standards developer and auditor in the food, agriculture and forestry sectors. And we are confident that our industry and producer partners will appreciate their cost-effective and thorough approach to certification."
"We are very proud to partner with Fair Trade USA," said SCS CEO Dr. Stan Rhodes. "This partnership furthers our common goal of helping businesses and consumers support workers and communities by providing transparent information about the social and environmental aspects of the products they buy."
Together, Fair Trade USA and SCS plan to introduce certification to a wider range of producer groups, introduce new standards for a wider range of products, and offer cost-effective certification services.

Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) has been providing global leadership in third-party environmental and sustainability certification, auditing, testing and standards development since 1984. SCS programs span a wide cross-section of industries, recognizing achievements in green building, product manufacturing, food and agriculture, forestry, retailing and more. www.scscertified.com

Vail Vitality Center kicks off program with yoga event
July 9, 2012
VAIL – The Vitality Center at Vail Mountain Lodge and Spa is launching its signature 40 Days to Personal Transformation program this week with a visit from world traveling yoga teacher Gina Caputo. Earth, Water and Fire: Fearless Transformation with Gina Caputo features two of her trademark yoga workshops, which incorporate themes of nature and emphasize personal change.
On Friday night, Caputo leads "Holy Hip Openers" from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., a rejuvenating practice incorporating the earth and water elements and their energetic association with the hips. This hip opening practice invites release of stuck patterns in the physical and emotional body, and will end with an extended Yoga Nidra, or deep relaxation. It is suitable for all-levels of practitioner.
Saturday morning Caputo focuses on the fire element for her Ignited Vinyasa practice, a class designed to stoker internal heat through playful core strengthening and arm balancing to dissolve self-limiting beliefs. This practice is best suited to injury-free practitioners.
"Caputo is one of the best yoga teachers out there. Her approachable manner instills an incredible confidence in every student lucky enough to end up in her class," said Yoga Director Julia Clarke.
Caputo is a California native and student of Shiva Rea. She was one of the original owners of Exhale Spa in Venice, Calif. and recently sold her studio Kansas Siddhi Yoga after eight years to relocate to Boulder. From her new home in the Rockies, she travels and teaches extensively throughout the world. Learn more at http://www.ginacaputo.com
These workshops are $25 with advance sign-up, $30 at the door, or $40 for both. For information, or to register, visit http://www.vailvitalitycenter.com or call 970-476-7960.

ive got the programs and ive seen it being done by a friend so i know its possible, im just not very clued up on wot commands i use to manipulate how to collect network data, packets and use them for obtaining encryption keys.
Furthermore, ive got a laptop with a wireless card (Atheros AR5007 and Realtek RTL8139/810x) A wireless activation button above my keyboard (on the top left hand side) activates the wireless card in windows (if it doesnt come on automatically) and turns the colour blue when active. when i boot up backtrack at the start, the wireless button doesnt turn blue so ive tried pressin it and it doesnt come on and so, ath0/wifi0 doesnt appear for monitor mode when backtrack kicks in. Does any1 have any idea how to get my wireless card to activate at least so i can then progress to working the programs wireless utilities. (i never had this problem with my last laptop, it was an automatic wireless activation and so my mate cracked the WEP ecryption key with aircrack on it)
My current laptop is a HP Pavillion if that helps...Anyone?
Thank you so much if any1 can figure this out
its a WEP encryption and Backtrack 2 because i thought it was a potentially good programme. I know there is plenty of mention of the newer Backtrack 3 on here. Is it better? and if so, in what way?
thank you for your reply
just to update. im finally fine. I burned my BT3 iso, got the appropriate driver working and found out my router is actually a 'WPA' encryption and not a WEP encryption. My friend cracked his own routers WEP key and thats why i thought mine was called a 'WEP encryption'(i didnt know there were different types of encryption). After reading, and reading...and reading im a lot more clued up thanks to these great forums! Im trying to see if i can play hacker on my router. Is it that easy for someone to crack my password and is there any tips on choosing a password that someone wont figure out? When i pick my password id also like to see if it can be broken or not
As the weakest point of your WPA encryption is the passphrase you choose it is important to use a long combination of all allowed characters and to include both upper- and lower case letters as the password is case sensitive.

Museum Building
The Museum building not only houses our national treasures today, but is the oldest public building in the Cayman Islands. Used as a jail, courthouse, dancehall, and postal office, among other functions, the Museum building is an important piece of our history, in and of itself.
Constructed using the traditional method of wattle and daub architecture, the Museum building dates back to the 1800s, and remains even till now, a focal point of George Town's harbour alongside other historical sites that include Elmslie Memorial Church, Fort George, and the George Town Public Library.
Our historic building continues its public service today as the Cayman Islands National Museum, with an aim to preserve and promote Caymanian history and culture.
Changing Exhibitions
Unlike all the other galleries, which are permanent, the purpose of the Changing Gallery is to display temporary exhibits that will rotate periodically on an annual schedule reflecting objects of topical interest. Components of each Changing Gallery exhibit are to be reflected concurrently in the nearby Children Gallery. This will enable the younger age group to be exposed to and enjoy the Changing Gallery's various subjects through hands-on exploration and play. The Changing Gallery's regular renewal injects previously missing novelty of experience for return visitors, and thus serves as a key magnet for the entire Museum.
Be sure to visit "The Caribbean Kitchen" – at the Old Gaol Café for local food and drinks located on the museum site.
The Changing Gallery will regularly feature exhibitions of topical interest.

Webster helps Castleford shock champs LeedsJames Martin
Published: February 11 2013 - 7:46AM
LONDON: Castleford centre Jake Webster played a key role as the Tigers sent defending Super League champions Leeds crashing to their first defeat of the season on Sunday.
Webster, who enjoyed spells in the NRL with the Melbourne Storm and the Gold Coast Titans before moving to Europe in 2008, touched down 13 minutes after Jordan Tansey's opener.
Ryan Hall had put Rhinos in front eight minutes after the restart with Kevin Sinfield converting both to make it 12-10.
However, Castleford were not to be denied and two goals from Jamie Ellis in the last six minutes of the match ensured Webster's first-half effort wasn't in vain as the Tigers ran out 14-12 winners.
Meanwhile, Shane Rodney scored the only try for the London Broncos as they slumped to a second straight defeat 34-6 by Huddersfield, who have now won two from two.
Rodney grabbed his score in the 23rd minute, it converted by Shane Grady, but it affected the Giants little as they ran in six tries.
Shaun Lunt grabbed two of them and Eorl Crabtree, Brett Ferres, Joe Wardle and Craig Kopczak the others, with Danny Brough kicking five goals in the 34-6 victory.
Elsewhere, Francis Meli was also at the double as St Helens beat Widnes 16-4 in a feisty derby which saw Vikings forward Ben Cross, once of Canberra, Melbourne and Newcastle, sent off.
Meli levelled the scores for the Saints after Stefan Marsh opened Widnes' account before carnage ensued after a high tackle on St Helens captain Paul Wellens.
Cross was sent off for his role in the melee, while team-mate Jon Clarke was sin-binned with Meli making the most of the advantage to score again along with Lee Gaskell.
And in the other game on Sunday, Hull recorded their first win 28-12 against Bradford with Shannon McDonnell, who has moved from city rivals KR, among the scorers.
The 25-year-old grabbed Hull's second score after Jason Crookes' opener with Tom Briscoe, Daniel Holdsworth, who also kicked four goals, and Jay Pitts all going over after the break.
On Saturday, Catalan Dragons made it two from two with a 40-6 victory over Salford, the Dragons playing the majority of the game with 12 men and running in seven tries including one from Steve Menzies.
Vincent Duport grabbed two of the seven, with Menzies, Remi Casty, Ian Henderson, Olivier Elima and Daryl Millard also scoring on home soil.
Catalan could even afford to play 77 minutes with 12 men after prop Julian Bousquet was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Theo Fages.
In the other game on the day, Ben Cockayne grabbed a late hat-trick as Wakefield got up and running with a 36-20 win over Hull KR, while on Friday Wigan drew 17-17 with Warrington.
Joel Monaghan bagged a double for Warrington who scored three tries and two goals much like Wigan with Matty Smith and Lee Briers exchanging late drop goals for the draw.
