Many of us struggle with change from time to time, whether it be a new job, a new school, or even a new boss; there is always that apprehensiveness that attaches itself to the specific change. As the LaRue County Football team has undergone a leadership change in the hiring of Tony Hatmaker, one Hawk senior in particular has completely bought in to what the head coach is providing. Hunter Griffin will be one of the Hawks six seniors expected to lead the way this season as the Hawks prepare for their season to begin next week.
During the past 10 years since soccer became a part of the LaRue County High School Athletic program, several transitions have taken place. From the initial co-ed team, the splitting of the boys and girls program, and to being assigned to a district by the KHSAA, the boys program was introduced to their new Head Coach last week, Dodd Caudill.
Caudill replaces Derek Bell who guided the Hawks for three seasons before being offered the John Hardin boys program in May. Caudill brings plenty of soccer experience to the still-young soccer program.
The LCHS Athletic Department is pleased to announce that a new athletic website has been launched and will feature all thirteen sports programs.
LaRue County is only 1 of 20 schools using Varsity News Network as their sole source for high school athletics. Varsity News Network is based out of Michigan and builds college-style athletic websites for high schools. More than 600 schools nationwide have signed up with VNN in the last four years.
Traditionally summer basketball has consisted of teams getting together for practices and then attending a week-long summer basketball camp on a university campus. These camps are usually very expensive for individuals and more focus is put on competing against other teams.
So, instead of loading up and traveling to a summer basketball camp, Head Coach Paul Childress decided to do something different, and host his first ever team camp. This team camp took place on the LCMS/LCHS campus. Twenty-five players in grades 9-12 attended the overnight week-long camp.
Three base running mistakes and seven fielding errors haunted the LaRue County Lady Hawks in last week's 18th District Softball Tournament championship.
Top-seeded Green County won its second straight district title on May 20 by a 7-3 score at Hart County.
"I'm sick," Lady Hawks coach Rocky Cundiff said. "We had two major base-running errors, but I'm more sick over the defensive errors. We spotted them six runs, and you can't do that. You just can't play like that."
The LaRue County Cheer Program is transitioning into new leadership this spring. Danielle VanderMolen will oversee the LCHS Competitive Cheer Program while Jennifer Thrasher will assist.
Top-seeded LaRue County erupted for 11 runs in the first two innings en route to a 14-0 rout of Green County to win the 18th District baseball championship in May.

I just got my remington 700 SPS Varmint .308 cal, and seeing what can be done with it. This will be my "Range Fun" gun, and maybe hunting. At the moment its all factory. I will be buying a bushnell 4200 elite 4-24x40 Mil-dot scope, as soon as I can save up for it. Want to see how it does right out of the box. Anyways, my question is about getting a new stock. From what I have been reading, h-s precision stocks are good, and so are mcmillians, but these are way too expensive for me right now. What are your inputs on stocks? Was also wondering if these third party stocks will convert it from a floor plate magazine to a DM, is this possible? Or should I just bed my own stock with devcon and find a conversion kit for it? Money is not too big of a problem, I just have to save it up. If i still had my job, it'd be a lot quicker though.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Three Key Points to Writing/Drafting Appellate Issues in Indiana
January 26, 2016 / Appellate Practice, Civil Appeal, Indiana Court of Appeals, Supreme Court
Almost every final decision of an Indiana trial court can be appealed to the Indiana Court of appeals by perfecting the appeal and "briefing" the matter. Appellate attorneys often spend considerable time drafting or "framing" the issues so they bring attention to the question of law and fact at hand. The Court of Appeals central role is not to re-weigh (or second guess a trial court's decision) on how it viewed facts. Instead, it looks at how the trial court applied the facts ... Read More
Three Common Mistake in Appeals
December 29, 2015 / Appellate Practice, Civil Appeal, Indiana Court of Appeals, Supreme Court
The legal system is the default dispute resolution when no other person, group or institution can solve a problem or dispute. The fact a case is brought sometimes demonstrates the very point—good individuals and well-run companies have disputes they cannot move beyond and bring to an impartial judge for decision. This system is the marvel of the world, particularly since there is generally a right to appeal an adverse decision. In this case, the appellant (who generally lost some or all issues) often make the same three mistakes ... Read More

In the course of civil litigation, there are many court orders. However, only one is a final order that can be appealed. There are two ways a court may issue a final order. One way is issue a general judgment, which can be a sentence or a few sentences. The other way is special findings.

Taking the complex facts of life and applying the law is a daily challenge for lawyers. However, this task becomes more difficult when it involves an appeal and controlling standard of review.

THE expression 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' might as well have been written for the predicament Newport County find themselves in this week.
They've been given a fair amount of stick from their supporters for switching Saturday's clash with Gateshead and to be honest, I can't see for the life of me see why they're being chastised by some for a very shrewd move.
The Exiles will now travel to Gateshead in February instead to keep disruption to a minimum with the pitch in the North East currently unplayable due to the weather.
That's the key word there, unplayable. As in, the game couldn't possibly go ahead.
So while it's highly regrettable that those with non-refundable flights and hotel bookings are now left out of pocket, it's no different than if the game hadn't been switched as you'd then be left with non-refundable flights or rooms for a game that was called off.
The Exiles' acceptance of the switch – at the behest of Gateshead – makes sense because of the Exiles' complicated ground share situation.
We've seen simply over a number of seasons that the weather in Newport WILL lead to games being called off.
It'll happen at Rodney Parade and it happened at Spytty Park.
What is now different is that rescheduling games is going to be so much harder as County must be mindful of the fixtures of both Newport RFC and the Newport Gwent Dragons.
So when it came to this weekend and with Rodney Parade free from all peanut hugging action, what other sensible call was there to make? The Exiles have seen a fixture pile-up derail a promotion push before – under Peter Beadle in 2006/7 – when they ended the campaign playing 15 games in just short of six weeks.
It killed them in the end and that's why the Exiles are right to be doing anything they can to ensure they keep their schedule on track.
County have also attempted to sweeten the deal for supporters by offering a reduced rate on ticket prices and again, I don't see what more they could really be doing in this instance to make things right for supporters.
As the now postponed game with Luton Town next Tuesday shows, there are lots of ways for games between now and next April to end up getting postponed.
Therefore the wise move for a club sharing with two others and in a notoriously rainy part of the world is to play every game as soon as possible.
So well done to County for making a shrewd move.

What Should New Students Expect on Move-In Day?
Meredith College Move-In Day is Saturday, Aug. 11, 2012. This week, to help the incoming Class of 2016 prepare, our summer series of student advice will feature topics related to residence life. Meredith's Office of Admissions asked a group of rising sophomores, juniors and seniors share insights on Move-In Day, what to pack, and how to decorate in a residence hall.
Today's question is: "What should incoming students expect during Move-In and Orientation?"
•"Expect a lot of commotion. Just listen and pay attention. You'll figure it out, and it will go smoothly. Meredith has a great system, and it works, so just go with it. And be friendly, if you see someone you recognize, don't be afraid to say hi. Everyone is feeling overwhelmed and awkward, so reach out to others. You never know when you'll find your best friend."—Sara Owens, '15
•"You should expect lots of people who are excited for you to be moving in. There will be people banging pots and pans, blowing whistles, and cheering you own the entire way. I'm sure for many it is very overwhelming, but this is just a small example of how much the student body loves Meredith, and how excited we are that you are coming to join our family. During orientation, you will meet lots of faculty and staff all sharing very important information, and it is important for you to listen and ask any questions that you may have. I promise, they will have an answer, and they would love to share any advice with you." –Amanda Hall, '15
•"Move-in Day will be very hectic, but try not to be overwhelmed. Some tips are to buy a portable/collapsible dolly to help cart your items from car to residence hall; leave time for unexpected trips to a store to buy extra things that you may have forgotten or found that you needed; and put all your belongings in plastic containers. They are reusable and easier to carry than loose items." —Christa Allen, '15
•"During Move-In Day expect it to be crazy and definitely nerve wrecking because you don't know what to expect. You will be receiving tons of information within a few days but once you get through most of orientation you have no worries but to relax and meet new friends. On Move-in Day make sure that you have your things organized the best way possible and bring a handtruck because it makes the process so much easier and quicker to get you unpacking!" – Kaitlyn Turner, '14
•"There are tons of people doing tons of different things. The biggest thing I can say is focus on you and what you need. There is so much to do in so little time that if you don't focus on you, then you will be overwhelmed. If you have any questions, there are many people around that are willing to answer; just ask. Also, bring lots of water…it will more than likely be hot. As for Orientation, just listen to your Student Advisor. They know all about what you should be doing and when. Ask them as many questions as you need."—Elizabeth Oates, '13
•"Everyone is going to be rushing around and moving about. Feel the excitement and bask in it! Although it might feel weird moving from place to place and having to be on a schedule, take advantage of every activity because it will make your experience and transition even better at Meredith."—Hannah Thornton, '14
•"It's overwhelming and there's so much going on. Move-In can be stressful but also fun. You are starting a new chapter and you just need to go with the flow. There will be plenty of time to get everything straight, see everything, meet people, etc. Don't stress."—Mary Rawls, '13
•"Move-In Day and Orientation are jam packed! I did not realize how busy my first few days at Meredith would be. Move-In Day is exciting and you will have a chance to meet some amazing resources and friends this day! During orientation, you will be busy on campus. You'll meet with your advising group and get to know the other incoming students as well as your Student Advisor and Faculty Advisor. Enjoy this time of learning experiences and take in all that you can!"--Brittany Murray, '13
•"I'll be honest, I was a little stressed on my move-in day. Your family is asking so many questions, you don't know where to put things, you're nervous and emotional but also excited. Looking back at it, I remember how special my time was with my family. I wish I had taken more advantage of that. Don't worry so much about making everything perfect. You have all year to make your room exactly how you want it. Enjoy the time you have with your visitors and the new students you meet as the Meredith community welcomes you onto campus. This is the start of it all! Enjoy it!"—Melissa de Leon, '14
•"Expect to be busy and to have a lot to do during orientation. There is a lot you have to learn in a short period of time, but you also have chances to bond with your advising group, roommate and suitemates. It's a lot of fun."—Angel Jackson, '13
•"Move-In Day and Orientation are times that should definitely be utilized by students because the Meredith community is trying to prepare them for their first semester. Expect to be really tired and have some information overload. And don't forget a flood of emotions but also security because you are at your home away from home!"—Shelby Wilson, '14
•"It's crazy but spectacular. Move-in is so well organized by the college and so exciting but you are going to be exhausted and emotional by the end of the day." – Rebecca Jernigan, '13
•"Be prepared. The best advice I can give you and get to campus as early as possible. Hundreds of students will be pouring in and just as lost and confused as you so be early! And it never hurts to get there early to meet and greet your roommate and suitemates. Plus a lot of activities will be going on and you don't want to be stuck unpacking while awesome stuff is going on." – Christina Barnhart, '15
Next question: "What are some of your best residence hall style tips?"

Transforming Conceptions of Language and its Development: What is on Offer from Complexity Theory
Open lecture by Professor Diane Larsen-Freeman from the University of Michigan
Complexity Theory, also known as Dynamic Systems Theory, is a theory originating in the physical sciences. However, its focus on complex, dynamic, nonlinear systems has much to offer those of us interested in language. I will begin this talk by discussing the theoretical tenets underpinning Complexity Theory. Then, I will proceed to apply them to language, making some necessary adaptations for our human enterprise. I will go on to propose that not only does a Complexity Theory perspective transform our concept of language, but it also inspires a helpful way of conceiving of second language acquisition/development. In fact, drawing on the theory, I will suggest that language, its use, its evolution, and its development are self-similar processes, albeit operating at different timescales.

How Long Can I Safely Freeze Cake Layers?
Decorating By KayMc Updated 27 Aug 2010 , 4:34am by cakesrock
I baked a chocolate cake yesterday, and after it was out of the oven an hour or two, I wrapped each layer in saran wrap, then a freezer bag, and placed them in the freezer. How long is it safe to keep in the freezer without losing any flavor/moisture?
I have eaten them after 3 months and they taste great - very moist. A lot depends on what kind of cake you make. I generally use WASC or choc WASC. However, I try to keep it a max of 6-8 weeks. I wrap in Glad seal n' wrap, then 2 bags on top of that and it keeps it super fresh! Freezer bag should work really well too.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Jun. 23)
Yosef Tekoah, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, yesterday rejected charges by the Soviet envoy to the UN that "Zionist circles in the United States and a number of other countries have been carrying on a malicious and slanderous anti-Soviet campaign in connection with the so-called 'Jewish question' in the USSR, deliberately fabricated by them." Tekoah condemned this allegation by Yakov Malik in a letter the Soviet ambassador sent to UN Secretary General U Thant on June 15. "The Soviet letter," Tekoah wrote to Thant, "suggests that the general concern for the plight of Jews in the Soviet Union is a politically motivated anti-Soviet campaign inspired by Israel and Zionism. The truth is too well known to be dismissed in so cavalier a fashion." The Israeli ambassador stated that "no ulterior motives are necessary to sympathize with the suffering of Soviet Jewry." Actually, Tekoah observed, the struggle of Soviet Jews for their elementary rights and for the right of those who desire to reunite with their families and their people in Israel, "is one of the most stirring human rights struggles of our time." He noted that this struggle has "evoked the sympathy of men of good will, Jews and non-Jews alike, in all parts of the world," including Communist Parties in other lands and Soviet intellectuals.
Malik, in his letter, asserted that one of the forms of the "hostile anti-Soviet campaign" is the organization by "Zionist centers" dispatching to various institutions, including the UN, "of letters deliberately fabricated by them in advance and containing so-called 'protests.' " As proof of his allegation, Malik cited a request by Congregation Beth Sholom, the location of which he did not identify, that its members and friends send one letter a week for a month to Malik and to Anatoly F. Dobrynin, Soviet ambassador to the United States, urging the right of Soviet Jews to emigrate. Malik reproduced what he claimed were sample letters the synagogue suggested be sent out. Challenging Malik, Tekoah wrote that "it is characteristic of the Soviet attitude" that Malik's letter to Thant "should mask its attack on a Jewish synagogue congregation's efforts to express such concern in a manner normal to democratic society, with an assault on Israel and Zionism, the Jewish people's national liberation movement." The target of this assault, Tekoah stated "is clear. It is the Jewish people and its fundamental rights."

I used to have a very curvy figure, but after taking lupron for 1 year I gained 20lbs and I no longer have a waist. I would like to get my waist back. I've had under-bra rolls even when I was a size 4, so is it possible for my back rolls to ever go away with lipo? How many spots of lipo does it appear I would need done? I understand some physicians charge X for the first area and Y for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th area. Is this how lipo cost is usually structured? (What is a ballpark estimate for price?)
Do I Appear to Be a Candidate for Liposuction of the Abs/back/flanks? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
The best candidate for liposuction
You are the best candidate for liposuction when you have reached your 'ideal' body weight, the one you plan to maintain, and have localised fat deposits. Certainly, you would benefit from liposuction of the abdomen, and waist, straight around front to back. We don't subscribe to the 'area' pricing other than trunk, or extremity as a unit though others have their preference. The ballpark fee is around $5,800.
Best of luck,
Peter Johnson, MD.

Lipo after weight gain
Liposuction is a powerful tool to change your shape but weak at losing weight. Many areas of your back, flanks, hips, and abdomen might benefit from liposuction but I would encourage you to work on weight loss first. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate what your needs are after you get to your more ideal weight. Best wishes
Multiple areas may need to be done in 2 lipo procedures.
To be very thorough and make a dramatic improvement, I would recommend doing all the areas in 2 procedures. One would be the upper and lower abdomen and the other would be the hips, midback rolls and axillae(armpit areas). Each lipo would run roughly $5000 on special and could be done 1 week apart and done under local tumescent technique with the micro cannulas. You would be back to work in 2 days and exercising again in 1 week. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Do I Appear to Be a Candidate for Liposuction of the Abs/back/flanks?
Based on the posted photos lipo would be good for the back and flanks. But the abdomen might be better served with a full TT.
It appears from your posted photos that you would benefit from liposuction. You need to see a surgeon face to face in order to get pricing, know what areas are amenable to the procedure and develop a reasonable idea/expectation of what the procedure would deliver in terms of results.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Reviews summary
What's good
- Price
- Solid performance
- Bright, crisp display
- Fast fingerprint scanner
- Plenty of storage
- Good battery life
What's bad
- Tinny speaker
- Weak low-light camera performance
- No USB Type-C
- Non-removable battery
The Moto G series has set the bar for budget-friendly Android devices. The G5 Plus has some big shoes to fill in the wake of the G4 and G4 Plus. While they've added some metal and the latest version of Android, creating a good budget phone is about balance.
Does the Moto G5 Plus keep the G Series at the top of the budget charts? Reviewers have had a few weeks to test their devices and we're bringing you the best of the reviews across the Internet.
Let's dig in!
Lenovo's made a big deal out of the new metal chassis for the G5 Plus. While reviewers liked the design, they were quick to point out it's not a full metal case. The upgrade to a metal back also means no more removable battery.
Despite these concerns, reviewers liked the design of the new phone. PC Magazine said, "It's easy to mistake the phone for a much more costly device." Ars Technica UK gave a similar opinion, saying, "It's still lighter in your hand and a little chunkier than comparable high-end phones, but at first glance you might have trouble distinguishing it from a metal or glass-and-metal phone."
Flipping around the front, you're greeted by a 5.2-inch 1080p IPS display. In the budget tier, the screen is often where you'll see the biggest difference. However, reviewers raved about the screen on the G5 Plus. Android Police called it "a very good display with accurate colors and superb viewing angles." Android Central was also pleased, saying, "Color calibration is, to my eyes, on par with devices double the price."
One area where reviewers weren't in agreement was the fingerprint scanner. While it performed its basic functions well, reports on the new finger gesture controls were hit or miss. It worked well for reviewers, but many didn't like the concept.
Android Guys, on the other hand, gushed about the feature. They said, "It's freaking brilliant and I love it. I want it on every phone from here until they come out with something better. The learning curve was minimal and it just makes sense."
For performance, reviewers were all in agreement. The 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon processor impressed. Android Police said, "Gaming won't be particularly good on this phone. Simple titles are fine, but the 3D capabilities of the 625 are lacking."
Depending on the model you choose, you'll find either 2 or 4GB of RAM. Most reviewers recommended the extra cost for the 4GB. While both run smooth now, it adds some room for graceful aging as apps continue to grow.
The G5 Plus ships with Android 7.0 Nougat—something many phones twice its price still doesn't do. Reviewers were pleased with the subtle tweaks to the Android experience. PC Magazine summed up opinions well, saying, "aside from the included Moto app (which lets you configure Active Display and gesture settings), there's no bloatware to speak of. Since there's no bloatware, you have plenty of free internal storage: 53.71GB on the 64GB model."
Which brings us to our next variation. You'll find both a 32GB and 64GB model. While 32GB is enough storage for many, you won't get the 4GB of RAM without going for the 64GB option.
For those looking to work on the go or keep their media collection in their pocket, the phone also supports microSD cards up to 256GB.
The next big upgrade touted by Lenovo is the G5 Plus' camera. You'll find a 12MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing selfie shooter. Overall, reviews of the camera were positive—for the price bracket. Android Central said, "The speed at which the Moto G5 Plus, even in low-light conditions, adjusts to the scene, is astonishing."
However, many reviews pointed out that the lack of Optical Image Stabilization can make low-light shots tricky. Android Police noted, "You have to hold the phone quite still, and it's a good idea to take a few shots to make sure you get at least one that isn't blurry."
If you're looking for a phone you can use all day without worrying about your charge, reviews show the G5 Plus is a great choice. Android Guys used their test model for two weeks and declared, "Two days of regular use comes easy. I've had this phone for seven days and I've charged it three times. It isn't the battery life champ that the Moto Z Play is, but it's damn good and in the upper echelon of devices."
Reviewers loved most everything about the G5 Plus. The only major complaint was a lack of NFC. This means you won't be able to use your phone for mobile purchases. Android Police summed up opinions well, saying, "You make some sacrifices when you buy a budget phone, but the Moto G5 Plus requires the fewest. It has capable hardware that allows for smooth operation, a good display, an accurate fingerprint sensor, clean software, solid build quality, and above average battery life."
Reviews (8.3/10 Avg. rating)
Easy to use, with great results pretty much every time
Superior set of hardware and build quality
As the phone that single-handedly created the quality budget smartphone category, we hold the Moto G in high regard and also have high expectations from very new device in the lineup. The Moto G5 we tested earlier didn't quite meet our expectations in that regard. However, the G5 Plus hits the mark and reminds us again why we love this series. It's far from perfect and there are areas where we would like to see it improve. We could use a bit more power under the hood. The design could bit a bit more compact and make better use of space. The design itself could also stand to improve aestheti... Full review

Not Housing Recovery, But Housing Inflation
The Census Bureau reported a decline in month to month seasonally adjusted new house sales two days ago, but a solid increase on an annual basis. It was a confusing report, but the bottom line is that new house prices are inflating, but sales are still dead in the water relative to historical norms.
Sales of new single-family houses in February 2013 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 411,000, according to estimates released jointly today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is 4.6 percent (±20.4%)* below the revised January rate of 431,000, but is 12.3 percent (±23.3%)* above the February 2012 estimate of 366,000.
The median sales price of new houses sold in February 2013 was $246,800; the average sales price was $313,700. The seasonally adjusted estimate of new houses for sale at the end of February was 152,000. This represents a supply of 4.4 months at the current sales rate.
Source http://www.census.gov/construction/nrs/pdf/newressales.pdf
Econoquack forecasters' consensus expectation was 426,000 according to Briefing.com. That was one of the rare occasions lately where they missed on the high side.
The headlines were based, as always, on seasonally adjusted data. The not seasonally adjusted data showed monthly sales of 33,000 units and a year to year gain of 10.6% for February, which was a slowdown from the 30.4% 12 month gain in February 2012. Sales have risen from 22,000 units in February 2011. Look at the trend on this chart. Awesome!
Bernanke has been touting the housing recovery as evidence that QE is working. To give you a better idea of just how fabulous this mammoth recovery is, here's a long term perspective. Fabulous, it isn't.
The range of 20,000 to 40,000 unit sales per month since 2009 compares with a range of 80,000 to 130,000 per month in the early to mid 2000's. This is what $100 billion a month of quantitative easing buys?
Looking at single family housing starts versus new house sales, the pattern is similar. Starts are up from 26,600 units in February 2011 to 41,600 units in February 2013, a whopping gain of 57%. But the numbers today are only 30% to 50% of the levels of 2000-2005. 2005 was when the housing bubble was at its peak and getting ready to drive the economy off the cliff, but current levels are still only half what they were in the recession years of 2001 and 2002. In other words, we are still in a housing production depression.
The charts make it plain that while housing is no longer a drag on the economy, its net positive contribution to economic growth isn't much. The Fed may claim credit for the recovery, but it hasn't gotten much bang for the trillions it has printed since 2008.
The recovery in activity in existing home sales has been more robust. Volume is now down just 16% from the peak level reached in the bubble in 2005. Most existing house price measures are up about 10% from the low reached in 2011.
Average new house prices are up 21% since the 2009 low, and 14% in the past 12 months. Median new house prices have risen 17.7% since 2009 and 2.9% in the past 12 months after a 9% gain in the previous 12 months.
What we have here ladies and gentlemen is not so much a housing recovery as a housing inflation. That's what a couple of trillion in Fed quantitative easing buys us.

Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: "I sketched for an unusual analog watch and after days of experiments the idea for this watch developed.
I chose a traditional look for the watch because the display itself is unusual enough. There are four pairs of watch hands on the display. There are several display modes: Time zone mode (you can set four times, including the actual time) and Neutral mode (with a self created layout wich you like to wear on your wrist). The exact time telling occurs, when you press the button. Doing so, the eight hands rotate to a position in wich they form a digital number. Four digital numbers are shown one after the other, each with a duration of one second. After all four digits, the mode you left after pressing the button reappears.
To set the times, you need to pull the button, then rotate it. When setting the analog time for the top sub-watch, the other hands point to it, to tell you, where you are. After that you go to the other sub watches by pressing the button, then pulling again. The other sub-watches can only show variations of the top sub-watch in steps of 30 minutes (the minimum step, two time zones can vary from each other) to ease up setting. When setting the Neutral Mode pattern, you can do what you want to let the display look cool. When finished with all settings, you press the button one last time and you're done. The watch has no light. But the watch hands are coated with a fluorescent material wich glows in the dark for some hours after switching off the light.
Anyone who likes it tame and traditional but stylish and fashionable might like this watch. It's is a hybrid watch and therefore pretty different. The traditional look combined with an interesting display as well as the multiple-usage hands are outstanding."

The sctplib library is a fairly complete prototype implementation of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), a message-oriented reliable transport protocol that supports multi-homing and multiple message streams multiplexed within an SCTP connection. The API of the library was modeled after section 10 of RFC 2960, and most parameters and functions should be self-explanatory to the user familiar with this document. In addition, the library also provides a number of helper functions for managing timers and UDP communication.

Process R&D in Monopoly under Demand Uncertainty
I investigate R&D efforts for process innovation in a monopoly with uncertain demand. Two different models are proposed, where either (i) the reservation price is affected by an additive shock and the marginal production cost is increasing, or (ii) a multiplicative shock on the slope of demand combines with a flat marginal production cost. In either case, price-setting behaviour generates a larger R&D investment than quantity-setting behaviour. An Arrovian interpretation of the first result and a Schumpeterian interpretation of the second are proposed.

text: I fired up my P-43 this morning and noticed the 4 x 9 x 1 inch fire brick above the flame guide guide was missing. The only thing I can figure out is it must have become lose and fell into the ash pan. I empied the ash pan into a metal trash can and disposed of the ash. The two questions I have are: 1. Do you believe it will harm the stove if I continue to run it on low settings (1-2 on stove temp)? 2. How is the fire brick attached to the back wall of the stove? I see no holes for screws or any clips, etc? Is it glued on? Thanks in advance for your responses!

I know there's the Gear Fit, but I would never wear something that ugly and its ratings are not good. Then again its tizan. I wouldn't be looking for something that checks my heart rate, but can possibly connect to external accessories such as my phone, probably a more accurate heart rate monitor.

TAMPA — Ever wonder how Florida students really compare with their national peers on standardized tests?
Hillsborough County will soon provide an answer.
The School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to test students in most grades this spring on the Stanford-10, a national test designed to compare students on skills commonly found on state-mandated tests.
The move came after surprising drops on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test in elementary grades prompted superintendent MaryEllen Elia and other district leaders to question the state test's accuracy.
The district will pay $520,000 for something that the state used to provide: a way to double-check the FCAT.
"Ever since the state discontinued the use of the norm-referenced test several years ago, we've lost any external control on FCAT scores," said David Steele, the district's chief information and technology officer.
Hillsborough has been giving the Stanford in grades 1 and 2, and will now use money budgeted for that purpose to offer the test in grades 3 through 10 for reading and 3 through 8 in mathematics. Results are expected by June.
"If there is ever a (problem) in the future, this will play a major role in being able to challenge the state," board member April Griffin said.
Officials said the state plans to reinstate a norm-referenced test, which compares students with their peers rather than objective standards. But until it does, Hillsborough will fill the gap.
Elia said the next few years are a particularly important time to verify student learning gains, as the state overhauls the FCAT and the district uses test scores to gauge teacher performance under its $202 million reform effort with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"We're not interested in test, test, test," Elia said. But the district wants to make sure the assessments it uses are fair.
In other action Tuesday, the board unanimously approved applications for seven charter schools: Alexander Academy of Lutz, Community Charter Middle School of Excellence, Hillsborough Charter School West, Tampa Charter High School, Pivot Charter School, Florida High School for Accelerated Learning and New Springs Elementary School.
The board denied four others: Franklin Academy A, Franklin Academy B, Einstein Montessori School and Spectrum Education Academy.
Under state law, charter schools use public money but operate independently of the districts that authorize them.
Hillsborough has 30 such schools. The approved applicants must now negotiate contracts with the district to open schools next fall.

I don't recall seeing many, if any of you fighting these resistance wars and especially not as top 5 damage in the battles. Maybe you guys need to pay better attention before taking credit.

Topekans will have the opportunity to see native daughter Jayne Houdyshell perform in a play on Broadway, where she has twice been nominated for a Tony Award, when the critically acclaimed recent production of "Romeo and Juliet" is screened at movie theaters nationwide, including the Regal Hollywood Stadium 14.
Broadway's "Romeo and Juliet," with Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad in the title roles, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16, at the Topeka cineplex at 6200 S.W. 6th, where tickets are $20 at the box office or in advance through www.FanthomEvents.com, www.fandango.com or www.regmovies.com.
Houdyshell played Nurse, Juliet's servant and confidante, in the first production of the Shakespeare classic on Broadway in more than 36 years.
Multiple high-definition cameras captured live productions in November of the limited 16-week engagement of "Romeo and Juliet" at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
"Romeo and Juliet" marked the Broadway debut of Bloom, who moviegoers know from playing the elf-prince Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and as blacksmith Will Turner in the first three installments of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" series. Rashad, the daughter of actress Phylicia Rashad and former professional football player and sportscaster Ahmad Rashad, is a two-time Tony Award nominee.
While critics differed on the performances by Bloom and Rashad and the direction of five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux, Houdyshell earned nearly universal acclaim from reviewers.
Tom Wicker, who reviewed "Romeo and Juliet" for the United Kingdom's The Daily Telegraph, called the production "flawed."
"But it's still an enjoyable, energetic romp through Shakespeare with good performances from its two leads and a great supporting cast," Wicker wrote. "In fact, forget the lovers: the real star of the show is the utterly hilarious Jayne Houdyshell, who steals every scene she's in as Juliet's put-upon nurse."
New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley wrote: "Jayne Houdyshell, a New York stage favorite, is superb as Juliet's Nurse, lending wit, dignity and believable motivation to a figure so often portrayed for low comic effect. You sense the real, reciprocal affection between this pragmatic Nurse and her terminally naive charge."
Simon Saltzman in his review for the Internet theater magazine, Curtain Up, was more effusive, writing: "Juliet's outspoken old Nurse is a very difficult role to play without recourse to audience pandering, but happily the always wonderful and always award-worthy Jayne Houdyshell gives every one of her lines a new meaning accompanied with a new expression of its own, call it an infectiously winning suggestion of prurience. She rides around town on a bike ('Can you not see I'm out of breath') with a mission and a purpose that we simply devour."
The cast also includes Tony Award winner Chuck Cooper ("Law & Order," "American Gangster") as Lord Capulet; Christian Camargo ("The Hurt Locker," "Dexter") as Mercutio; Justin Guarini ("American Idol," "American Idiot") as Paris; and Tony winner Brent Carver ("Kiss of the Spider Woman," "Sleepy Hollow") as Friar Laurence.
Houdyshell, 59, began her stage career in her hometown of Topeka at age 13 when Peggy Greene, the late Capital-Journal columnist and theater critic, heard the 13-year-old sing and play guitar. Greene suggested Houdyshell would be a good fit for the olios — music and comedy revues — that followed Topeka Civic Theatre's long-running melodrama, "Love Rides the Rail," which played at the old fairgrounds that years later would become the Kansas Expocentre.
On Saturday nights for about a year, Houdyshell's mother would drive her from their Tecumseh farmhouse to the fairgrounds, where she would sing her one song, then leave.
Houdyshell also would appear on the stage of Topeka High School, from which she was graduated in 1971. After a year at Emporia State University, she decided to get a more focused theater education at the Academy of Dramatic Art, a professional acting school the Detroit-area Oakland University used to operate.
For the next 25 years, Houdyshell honed her acting skills as a professional actress in regional theater around the country before deciding to settle in 2000 in New York. She made her Broadway debut in 2006 at age 52 playing the mother in Lisa Kron's autobiographical comedy "Well" and earned her first Tony nomination. More Broadway roles followed, as did a second Tony Award nomination, this one in 2012 in a revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies," in which as aging hoofer Hattie Walker she delivered a showstopping rendition of "Broadway Baby."
Last year, the 58th annual Drama Desk Awards presented her with a special award "for her artistry as an exceptionally versatile and distinctive Broadway and Off-Broadway performer."
Houdyshell also has done movies and television, appearing twice last week on the small screen: Tuesday as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's fictional first-grade teacher on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" and Wednesday as Judge Linden on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," her fourth turn in that role.

Strategies of the Independent Film Producer
Instructor: Karin Chien
Fee: $200 ($180 for HIFF delegates)
This two-day intensive workshop covers what's involved in producing a truly independent film. Hear how a successful indie producer develops scripts, finances projects, manages shoots, and sells and distributes films. Discuss strategies for how to set yourself and your film apart in an overly crowded marketplace. Topics span all stages of producing a film, but special attention is paid to raising private equity investments and new forms of digital distribution.
Karin Chien is an independent film producer based in New York City. She has produced 8 feature-length films, which have won over 60 festival awards, premiered at Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals, been nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, and received international distribution. Chien also recently launched a new distribution company, dGenerate Films, to bring independent Chinese cinema to the non-theatrical market in the U.S. Karin is the curator and producer of the Chinatown Film Project, which commissioned original short films about NYC's Chinatown for the opening of the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA). Chien teaches film producing at New York University School of Professional Studies and School of Visual Arts, and serves on advisory committees for Tribeca Film Institute and IFP/New York.
Writing for Television – Get Started and Go!
Instructor: Maria Jacquemetton
Fee: $200 (HIFF delegates $180)
Do you have an idea for a TV series but don't know where to get started writing it? This intensive workshop covers the basics of what you need to know to turn your idea into a teleplay. From the pitch, to the story break, to constructing the script, this two-day workshop examines the process of writing an episode of scripted television in the hour drama or half hour comedy formats. The focus of day one is on structure in episodic television, through analysis of episodes of current TV series. Students also participate in a story break as a group. Day two, participants have the opportunity to workshop their own idea for an original TV spec pilot and receive feedback from instructor and each other, so that they leave with a solid pitch for a viable TV series and a clear direction in how to outline and write the teleplay.
Maria Jacquemetton is a writer-producer on AMC TV's critically-acclaimed television series, Mad Men, winner of the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series 2008, and two-time winner of the Golden Globe and WGA Awards. Her writing journey has taken her from the breathtaking beaches of Hawai'i to the far-flung reaches of outer space on series including Star Trek: Enterprise, Relic Hunter, and Baywatch Hawaii.

Weleda Everon Lip Balm
Weleda Everon Lip Balm Reviews
My favorite all-natural lip balmIt is a bit waxy, the stick is firm but I like this because it makes it easier to apply just a little (I do not like soft lip balms because I either put on too much or the stick breaks.) — 4 years, 9 months agoNotJustGingerly | 143 reviews

good basic balmOther reviewers noted they think this balm is a bit waxy, but I haven't found that to be the case. I actually like it a lot as a basic lip balm to always have in your bag. I also like the slightly thicker packaging than normal chapsticks. The balm is healing enough, though I wish it had spf, because than it would be a more complete lip protection. However, the simple rose-y smell is kind of ni...read morece, in an old-fashioned way, so overally, I think this is a really likeable health food store/drugstore lip balm. — 8 years, 3 months agocaramelizeonion | 5 reviews

Not a big fan.I was so hoping I would love this as I adore Weleda's skin food and other products. The scent and packaging are wonderful. However, the balm is very waxy and firm making it necessary to apply a lot of pressure when using. — 9 years, 5 months agoMargaretMae | 4 reviews

First look: FINISH STRONG carries on
USF's football players had a surprise waiting at their lockers when they returned from Monday afternoon's practice: each had a FINISH STRONG bracelet, a reminder of their adopted mantra for this season.
The inspiration came from USF alum Jeff Wagner, a 44-year-old battling leukemia who was released from Moffitt Cancer Center on Saturday after undergoing a bone-marrow transplant. The two-word phrase helped carry the Bulls to their 26-23 overtime upset at Auburn two weeks ago, and now it'll be with them when they take the field Saturday against North Carolina.
USF has no plans to produce the wristbands for public sale, but don't be surprised if they're available locally. I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear anything ...

text: There has been a ton of post today with a ton of ideas about what we need to do with our #1 pick and our current quarterback, David Carr. I for one would like some basic information cleared up so we can all have an informed decisions. Some of this information is scattered out throughout this message board, but frankly, there is too much clutter to extract the good information. Please do not speculate! The answers may not be as clear cut as you may think. If you do not KNOW the answers, please don't post on this thread. Links to supporting data would be nice. For simplicity sake, I am going to use the Jets as an opposing team in a trade. Scenario: We exercise the option and pay DC $8 million bonus. Then trade him to Jets for a draft pick and $8 million. What effect does that have on our cap? Are there compensatory picks in our future? What happens to the Jets cap? Scenario: Same as before except the Texans only get $4 million instead of $8. Same questions. Scenario: We just don't exercise the option. Let DC become a FA and negotiate for him to stay on 1 more year with a $2 million signing bonus and a $2 million salary. What does this do to the Texans cap? Scenario: Before the option expires, the Texans trade DC to the Jets for a draft pick. The Jets exercise the option and pay DC $8 million. Again, same questions.

Cadillac Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
When the Check Engine light comes on, it's the on-board computers way of telling you it sees a problem in one of the monitored systems. If you are not experiencing drivability issues (surging, stalling, rough idle, shifting issues, etc...), then more than likely it is a problem in the EVAP (emissions control) System. Unfortunately, there are litterally dozens of parts/sensors monitored by the PCM (on-board computer) in the EVAP System, and to take a "guess" would just be inefficient and a waste of time and money. A very common fail item is the Fuel Cap. Make sure it is tight and that the o-ring "gasket" on the underside is in good shape and free of visible defects (gaps, cracks, missing, etc). Fueling the vehicle while it is running can also set check engine light.. If the cap checks good, and you've done nothing out of the ordinary, then you need to start the disgnostic process. A good place to start is at your local parts store (ie. NAPA, AutoZone, Advanced). Most of these "big chain" stores will read the "p-codes" from the on-board computer for Free! Once you have these p-codes, it will tell you which system is faulting, and usually which sensor/part is the culprit (some testing is required), and then you can more accurately and efficiently make the repair.
Hello Customer. Welcome to justanswer!
Different expert here....
Is there a parts store near you like Autozone?

No, they have it a little more together than that.
The Winter of Mixed Drinks is Frightened Rabbit's third album and the follow-up to their breakthrough release The Midnight Organ Fight.

Livestock officials in Montana say they have captured and returned 13 wild bison that had been allowed to roam outside Yellowstone National Park for the first time in decades.
The animals captured Friday had repeatedly left a 2,500-acre grazing area on the Gallatin National Forest.
Bison have been barred for decades from leaving Yellowstone over fears that they will transmit the disease brucellosis to cattle. But 25 were allowed to leave the park last week under a pilot program that cost $3.3 million.
Some bison advocates and area landowners had questioned the move, saying the bison would not stay in place.
At least 10 bison remain on the Gallatin. One bison is at large, and another was shot Monday after it entered private property.

The Carson Palmer issue in Oakland may finally see some resolution, as it appears the Raiders' quarterback could be on his way out.
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that it is "highly unlikely" Palmer will restructure his contract. Thus, the Raiders will have to decide on Palmer's future.
It would be difficult for the Raiders to keep Palmer at his current salary because he is set to make more than $13 million this season, and his salary cap number is more than $15 million.
With Palmer playing hard ball, he clearly thinks he can get more on the open market if Oakland does release him. Arizona is a potential suitor, and perhaps the Raiders could try to get something in return in a trade. But if the Cardinals know the Raiders are in a tough spot, Oakland will likely lose any trade leverage.
Cutting Palmer would be difficult for Oakland to swallow considering it gave up its first-round pick in the 2012 draft and its second-round pick this year in a trade the previous regime made in October 2011.
If Palmer is moved, the third-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor could step into the starter's role. Oakland likes Pryor, but coach Dennis Allen has been on the record saying Palmer is the starter for now.
If Palmer is cut, the Raiders could also consider taking West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, whom Oakland haas been reported to take interest in. The Raiders have the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft. That speculation will obviously only intensify if Palmer is out of the picture. Taking Smith would be risky because the Raiders have great needs on defense and there are some strong defensive prospects available.
But if Palmer gets cut, everything would be on the table.
Oakland could also bring in a veteran quarterback such as Jason Campbell even if it's in as a backup role. Of course, that would be ironic. The Palmer trade was spurred when Campbell was lost for the season with a broken collarbone. The current Oakland brass didn't make an effort to re-sign Campbell last year in free agency and he went to Chicago. There just aren't many more backup quarterback options available.

Down East Dickering at Farmer's Market
Dickering duo Roland "Yummy" Raubeson and his son Mitch, from the History Channel's new hit show "Down East Dickering," tried their hand at something a little different on a recent summer Sunday: vending at the Lewiston Farmers' Market. In an attempt to prove that Yummy's assorted berry jams, known as "Yummy's Yummies," truly are worthy of the title "award winning," Yummy and Mitch set up shop at the market as guest vendors for a day and offered taste tests of their jam to market goers. Those who could not get enough had the option of taking home a jar for a suggested donation. Of course, Yummy and Mitch also spent some time dickering with other vendors over some surprise goodies. How did they fare as market vendors? Tune in to the show next season to find out!

Updated 08-09-2013 at 04:16 AM by wil2197
Well, after two straight TNA blogs it's time to pick on RAW, which tends to get a bit exhausting. Usually I do these blogs one of three ways:
1) Take notes on all segments shown and organize them in a blog later.
2) During commercial breaks, write on the segment that I just saw. When you see my blogs timestamped an hour after the show ends, this is usually what I've done.
Updated 08-07-2013 at 11:54 AM by wil2197
So this is it. August 1st has arrived. The big August 1st mystery shall be revealed tonight. MY problem with it...I really don't care. I expect to be disappointed by this surprise. I haven't been following the hype. I'm more so interested in Sabin/Bully build up which I'm sure will take a backseat to this crap tonight. But hey, maybe TNA will completely wow me tonight.

Detailed Description:
In this research study, the investigators are studying whether a reduced dose of radiation when given with standard doses of chemotherapy can reduce side effects without compromising control of the cancer. An approved treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is initial chemotherapy followed by radiation and chemotherapy together. This treatment is effective but has many immediate and long-term side effects. People who have squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SSCHN) that is related to an infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV) have been shown to have a high response to this treatment along with a high cure rate. The investigators think that by reducing the intensity of this treatment, they may be able to reduce immediate and long-term side effects which may lead to long term improvements in quality of life and function.

Further study details as provided by Robert I. Haddad, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- 2-Year Local-Regional Control Rate [ Time Frame: Follow-up for response continued until first progression. Disease assessments occurred at completion of induction cycle 3 along with months 12, 18 and 24 post study registration. ]2-year local-regional control rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve confirmed stable disease (SD) or better by 2-years post study registration based on RECIST 1.0 criteria. Per RECIST 1.0 for target lesions, complete response (CR) is disappearance of all target lesions and partial response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. Progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in sum LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started. SD is neither PR nor PD. For non-target lesions, PD is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- 4-y Overall Survival Rate [ Time Frame: Patients were followed for survival up to 5 years from study entry. Patients alive have been followed for a mean of 55 months (range 52-60 months). ]4-year overall survival rate is the percentage of patients remaining alive 4-years from study entry.
