Farris named Aggies' QB
COLLEGE STATION (AP) - With the season opener against Notre Dame only two weeks away, Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum named sophomore Mark Farris as the starting quarterback over sophomore Vance Smith and redshirt freshman Colby Freeman. ''It's just a matter of trying to get some continuity,'' Slocum said Monday. ''That is hard to do with three different quarterbacks rotating in and out. It's hard to get rhythm. I didn't want to get into game week and have to deal with that.''

Experts both in and outside the Washington-based U.S. Grains Council are convinced that the foreign consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products will continue to grow. And that, in turn, will give a big boost to those who grow corn, sorghum and barley.

Neiman Marcus adds a little pizzazz to its Web site to entertain shoppers
DALLAS (AP) - Call it a hunch, but some folks at Neiman Marcus think that a woman who would shop online for a $530 pair of high-heeled, ankle-strap pumps also wants to be entertained. So the upscale retailer has set aside part of its Web site to test a technology that gives new meaning to the phrase window shopping.

Coaches see good, bad to games in August
By all rights, Texas A&M football players could have claimed they were tuckered out by the time they reached St. Louis for the Big 12 championship game two years ago. It was game 13. The season had started in late August with a long trip to New Jersey and a loss to Florida State in the Kickoff Classic.
Students enter strange new world
The first week of school can be incredibly taxing on sophomores. The familiarity that had accompanied each day of junior high school has been replaced with an unfamiliar and sometimes intimidating high school scene. Suddenly you've gone from a casual junior high setting to a new school with new teachers and new expectations. Everyone can tell the sophomore apart from the crowd. He's the boy with his head buried in his schedule, trying to save himself from the embarrassment of walking into a class full of seniors. She's also the girl with a look of panic on her face when the lunch bell rings because she hasn't arranged a ride to lunch.

The Disabled Are Able
NEW TEXAS TECH FACULTY member Gary Forsythe knew of what he spoke when he said people with disabilities face problems during the hiring process. Prospective employers have reservations that an applicant's disability could interfere with performing the duties of the job, he said. And, Mr. Forsythe admits, his blindness does make preparing for class more difficult, and it makes researching and writing scholarly articles more time-consuming.
Mutual-Aid Contracts
WHILE EACH TEXAS SHERIFF is an elected official who must answer to voters, authority is not given to the top lawman in each county to commit the resources of their political subdivision without the approval of county commissioners, the governing body of each county.
Low Algebra Scores
THE LOW STUDENT SCORES in algebra - both statewide and locally - are not good, but they are nothing that cannot be improved with some hard work and good planning. Only 45 percent of Texas middle school and high school students met minimum standards of a mastery of algebra last spring. Lubbock Independent School District students did slightly better, with 46 percent, while Frenship Independent School District had 38 percent and Cooper Independent School District had 54 percent.
Few doubt improvements in Texas schools; question is who gets credit
WASHINGTON - Gayle Fallon remembers when football mattered more than classes, minority children were overlooked, and Texas was grateful for Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi because only they were worse at educating their children. ''The fact that our kids are reading is a minor miracle,'' said Fallon, who's led Houston's main teachers union for 20 years. ''Anyway you look at it, it's an amazing turnaround in the Texas schools.''

Show explores life of blues legend
NEW YORK - Part travelogue, part musical biography, "City Confidential: Greenwood, Mississippi" (8 p.m., ARTS, TV-PG) explores the murky legends surrounding the brief career and mysterious death of blues legend Robert Johnson. Considered a 20th-century musical master whose songs have been covered by Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones, Johnson was said to have sold his soul to the devil in order to gain his mastery over the guitar. This ghoulish reputation, and a habit of sleeping with other men's wives, did not endear him to the devout citizens of Greenwood who lived in a black enclave called "Baptist Town."

Traffic Light System
Burle Pettit's column (A-J, 8-6) regarding our array of red traffic lights struck a chord with me. Often when I travel east on 50th from Indiana, I hit too many red lights.

I, too, have traveled in Amarillo where the lights change to green each block in front of you. That makes for a joyful motoring experience.

It is standard procedure to request an opinion of our attorney general concerning issues where there may be a disagreement or it is unclear what the law is. It's not hypocritical for any legislator to request an opinion on an issue of this importance. It is done in a civilized orderly fashion provided by the laws of our great state.

Profile of smokers changes over time
Some are posers who simply want an accessory with their designer gin, something to flick and flourish for public consumption. Others are weekend bingers who can't resist mooching a few whenever there's talk and drink around. And some are true heavyweights, cutting down, choosing their moments, trying to get clean. Together they form the fastest-growing category of tobacco users of the modern smoke-free era: social, or occasional, smokers, who light up regularly but not daily. In 1990, about 18 percent of California smokers said they fit this description. By 1998, the most recent year for which data are available, the rate among California smokers had climbed to almost 30 percent. And although numbers on so-called occasionals are still sketchy, national trends appear headed in the same direction, even as overall consumption decreases.

Tech set to black out football opener
Texas Tech likely will call for a local television blackout of its season-opening home football game against New Mexico Saturday night after not coming close to selling all of its tickets, Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said Sunday. Tech had sold approximately 35,000 tickets for the game by the close of business Friday, including the 10,000 tickets that were purchased by the New Mexico athletic department as part of the contract agreement for the game. Though it won't figure into the blackout decision, the turnstile count looks to be even lower than 35,000 because New Mexico has resold less than 1,000 of its purchased ticket allotment, according to the New Mexico ticket office.

Golden Globes Glamour: Get the Look with L'Oreal Paris
The countdown to the red carpet is on at The Beauty Bug household and to prepare for the big event, She recently met with Boston makeup artist extraordinaire, Dani Wagner to recreate a staple red carpet look- red lips and a cat eye. It's a look so simple, yet sometimes hard to recreate. So sophisticated, yet also bold. L'Oreal Paris makeup artist, Billy B sums it up well - "The red carpet is no place for natural – it's a place to make a statement. I expect to see a return to full, unapologetic glamour. I predict lots of rich black liquid eyeliner and classic matte red mouths. Think Sophia Loren."
To create the look, The Beauty Bug and Dani used L'Oreal Paris's Colour Shine Stain in Endless Red and L'Oreal Paris's Super Slim Liner by Infallible.
"The cat eye can sometimes be tricky to do on yourself, so first trace a line with an angled brush using a black shadow as a liner, and then go over it with L'Oreal Paris's Super Slim Liner by Infallible, "said Dani as she helped The Beauty Bug draw her cat eye.
"I love the angle of the tip of the Shine Stain – it fits right into the bow of the lip perfectly, which allows you to easily trace it over your lip line creating a flawless look", says Dani.
The standout product here for The Beauty Bug is the Colour Caresse Shine Stain. It's a stain that thinks it's a gloss – talk about the best of both worlds. Identity crisis or not, it has potential holy grail status. It's staying power is impressive and will get you through drinks and into dinner, the color pay-off is superb and did The Beauty Bug mention that it's a moisturizing stain?! Major oxymoron, The Beauty Bug knows (think: jumbo shrimp), but it's just a wonder to behold! Any product junkie will need them in every single shade. While it's only January, The Beauty Bug predicts that the product will end up on a lot of 'best of 2013′ lists. It's that good.
The L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse Shine Stain ($9.99) and The Super Slim Liner ($8.95) are both available now at mass food and drug retailers.

I've recently been investigating long-running statements that, despite statement_timeout settings and pg_cancel_backend() attempts, remain visible in pg_stat_activity and continue to hold locks. When this happens, a process trace and a debugger show that the backend is blocked at the send() in secure_write(), netstat shows that the backend's send buffer is full, and a packet sniffer shows that the client TCP stack is sending "win 0", suggesting that the client has a full receive buffer because the application has stopped reading data. Unfortunately we have limited ability to continue the investigation at the client. Here's an excerpt from internal_flush(): while (bufptr < bufend) { int r; r = secure_write(MyProcPort, bufptr, bufend - bufptr); if (r <= 0) { if (errno == EINTR) continue; /* Ok if we were interrupted */ If the write is interrupted by a timeout or cancel, can anything be done here or elsewhere to abort the statement and release its locks? I realize that the full send buffer complicates the matter because of the inability to send any more data to the client, but I'm wondering if the backend can do anything to get rid of statements from such misbehaving applications. We've reluctantly tried SIGTERM but that doesn't work either. SIGQUIT and SIGABRT would kill the entire backend. Since these statements won't go away, they hold locks that can block other transactions and they cause vacuum to leave behind dead rows that it could otherwise clean up. I noticed this problem in 8.1.14 but I can reproduce it in later versions as well. I can provide a test case if anybody's interested (it's easy: use PQsendQuery() to execute a query that returns enough data to fill both the client's and the server's socket buffers, then go to sleep without reading the response). -- Michael Fuhr

Migration in Russian cities: Econometric analysis
In this paper we conduct an econometric analysis of migration at the level of Russian cities as a function of socio-economic indicators. We use panel data of migration rates of the towns in Central Russia and Siberia from 2004 to 2008. Our results suggest completely different models for these districts. The key factors which determine migration flows are labor market indicators. In contrast with Central Russia, where higher wages attract migrants, in Siberia there is an outflow of population from cities with higher wages.

Looking for another reason to cross the bridge to the East Bay? Many of the galleries that participate in Oakland's popular Art Murmur gallery scene are extending their First Friday festivities to include Saturday hours.
The new Saturday Stroll is quieter and more focused on the art itself in the galleries, hoping to lure art enthusiasts who prefer a lower profile scene. Eighteen galleries - many within walking distance - will open their doors for visitors to see new works and attend cultural activites.
Danielle Fox, Director of Oakland Art Murmur, suggests starting on 25th Street between Broadway and Telegraph and picking up a Saturday Stroll map at any one of the eight participating galleries on that block. What shows do we recommend checking out? Stop by Vessel Galley for a funky group show including works by Natalie Cartwright, William Harsh, and Kristy Kovacs, among others. And don't miss Anna Fidler's stunning folklore renditions at Johansson Projects.

Athletics Coaching
Our club, Kilkenny City Harriers, has had greatly increased memberships over the last two seasons. To give members the opportunity to develop appropriate fitness and skills we need more trained Leaders and Coaches. Excellent opportunities exist for parents, volunteers and assistant coaches to get training and qualifications in a number of disciplines as the Athletics Association of Ireland organise courses regularly and IN KILKENNY from time to time.
1. Athletics Leader - one day
2. Assstant Coach - one day
2. Level 1 – Over two weekends Friday (evenings) and Saturdays
3. Fit4Life –
The Athletics Leader Course is designed to help develop the athletic fundamentals for children in the 5-10 year old age bracket. It focuses on introducing the fundamentals in a fun, exciting and non-competitive environment …using hurdles, obstacles, medicine balls, foam javelins, hoola hoops… to encourage tumbling, running, throwing, hopping, jumping.
The Assistant Coach course gives the volunteer the confidence to work with joung athletes on jumps, throws and sprints.
The aim of Level 1 Course is to continue to develop the fundamental skills of Running, Jumping, and Throwing (principally with 11-14 year olds) and making them more sport specific while still maintaining a fun and participative environment. Level 1 is open to all but it is recommended to those who have completed an Athletics Leader Course or an Assistant Coach Course or who have had some coaching experience.

Very few places in the country are fortunate enough to avoid the frigid temperatures of winter every year. If you think its cold outside, just imagine what it would be like in a storage unit. The freezing temperatures throughout the northern portion of the United States are cold enough to damage many belongings that are typically placed in storage. However, you can avoid damage caused by freezing by renting a climate-controlled storage unit, especially if you live in a region that experiences harsh winters.
Since many people use self storage as a way to store seasonal items that aren't used during the winter, it's important to protect those belongings from winter-related damage.
Many people store items that go unused during the colder months of the year. Just as people store cold-weather items during the summer, you'll often see people putting away summer belongings when the temperature drops. Storing seasonal items is an easy way to save on space in your home. Here are a few seasonal belongings commonly stored during the winter.
Another reason many people use storage during the winter is if they're moving to a new home or apartment. While spring and summer are busier months for real estate, people move year-round for all sorts of reasons. When moving, a storage unit can give you a place to store belongings between homes and make the entire process a lot easier.
Cold temperatures can be just as damaging to your belongings as they would be to your body. Prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures can severely damage a variety of belongings commonly stored in a storage unit. Items to be especially cautious with include:
Fluctuating temperatures can create condensation inside electronics, causing irreparable damage. Likewise, anything that has liquid in it already can crack due to expansion from freezing. This is especially true of battery cells, including those for cars, mowers, and other small engines, which can crack when frozen.
Climate control doesn't only refer to keeping a storage unit cool during the summer. Climate-controlled storage units are designed to keep the temperature between 55-85°F, so they're great for preventing temperature-related damage all year. Through the use of insulation and central heating, a climate-controlled unit will protect your belongings in even the harshest of winters.

Taiwanese claims title of Asia's 'Best Female Chef'
CNA Wednesday, February 26, 2014, 12:45 am TWN
SINGAPORE -- Taiwanese chef Chen Lan-shu was named as "Asia'a Best Female Chef" for 2014 in Singapore on Monday at an event organized by William Reed Business Media.
"This award recognizes the commitment, creativity and talent of women in Asia's restaurant industry and (Chen) is a hugely worthy recipient," said Jean Marc Lacave, president and CEO of the best female chef award's corporate sponsor Veuve Clicquot.
Giving thanks for the recognition she received at the award ceremony — part of the "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants" program — Chen said she felt very honored and was proud to share the honor with her team.
"I could not believe it when I learned I was given the honor. I thought I would get it at a later time," Chen told CNA.
Chen is the head chef at French restaurant Le Mout, which she opened in Taichung in 2008.
Her restaurant serves a menu inspired by Chen's extensive culinary training in France as well as local ingredients, and the chef stressed that she would continue to use homegrown ingredients to create unique French cuisine for her customers.
"Taiwanese ingredients have a lot of potential and variation that can be highlighted in French cuisine. It's amazing and quite fun to create (new dishes)," she said.
"It has been a trend for chefs to use local ingredients to cook in recent years, and doing so helps us reflect on how to better interact with nearby environment. It is a show of respect for the land and a sign of sustainable thinking on the part of chefs," she said.
The 33-year-old Taiwanese chef received a classical food education in France at the Ferrandi School of Culinary Arts and earned a pastry diploma at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before moving on to work with industry heavyweights such as Pierre Herme and Thomas Keller.
She once described her work producing new dishes as an extension of every step in her life, adding that she feels she is "creating a culinary map belonging to myself and this land."
The "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants" program, launched in February 2013, was an outgrowth of the "World's 50 Best Restaurants" competition launched by William Reed Business Media in 2002.
Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list covers North, East, Southeast and South Asia. The list of restaurants was voted for by the World's50 Best Restaurants' academy of judges as part of the overall voting for the World's 50 Best Restaurants.

Cundy: Rafa has only himself to blame
Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy believes interim boss Rafael Benitez has been guilty of orchestrating his own downfall at Stamford Bridge, after failing to win over the club's fans by adopting an attractive brand of football.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Cundy suggested Benitez's position as Blues manager "was now untenable" after his passionate outburst against the club's board and supporters following Wednesday night's 2-0 FA Cup win at Middlesbrough.
Cundy suspects Chelsea will be seeking to appoint their third manager of the season in the coming days and had little sympathy for Benitez's plight, after the Spaniard claimed he was not happy to have been handed the title of interim Blues boss.
"I cannot accept that Benitez was surprised to be called interim manager because at the end of the day, Avram Grant and Robby Di Matteo had that title and they both got Chelsea to a Champions League Final," stated Cundy.
"Benitez has not helped himself because if Chelsea were winning and had been playing attractive football over the last few months, it would have quietened the fans. The trouble is they have not been playing well.
"He should never have been offered the job and while I have a little sympathy with him for what has gone on, you cannot come out and attack the owner and have a go at the fans. You cannot get away with that, you can't.
"I said last summer that if Chelsea finish third and win a trophy, then that would have been a decent achievement. Di Matteo could not have done better than that, Benitez could not have done better than that, but the style of football is not as good now as it was at the start of the season.
"This is a transitional period for Chelsea. If they finish third in the Premier League and win a cup, that will be a great season. They were never going to win the Premier League because the top two were always going to be the Manchester clubs, so this is all we could expect to achieve this season.
"There were too many changes at the club, too many personnel changes to expect the team to challenge for the title this season."
Cundy went on to question Benitez's tactical decisions during his turbulent reign and suggested his insistence on alternating between strikers Fernando Torres and Demba Ba from game to game "was no way to run a top side" before insisting Chelsea will attract a top class manager this summer, even if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League.
"I don't buy the idea that Chelsea will struggle to get a top manager to come in this summer," he added. "Name me one manager whose career has been ruined by going to Chelsea. Luiz Felipe Scolari is a World Cup winner who is manager of Brazil again after his disappointment at Stamford Bridge and Andre Villas-Boas got the job at Tottenham and he is doing very well.
"Plenty of top managers would jump at the chance to come to a club like Chelsea and I don't think qualifying for the Champions League is crucial in deciding who the club get to take over."
Cundy went on to suggest current captain John Terry could emerge as a shock contender to be handed the Chelsea manager's job, as he described the current situation at the club as "crazy."

Established in 1953, the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club currently pursues an active range of programs and activities to support the children of our community. To do this, we partner with four of the premiere charitable organizations in our area, namely United Community Ministries (UCM), Good Shepherd Housing, New Hope Housing, and Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services. We sponsor Key Clubs at four high schools, Mount Vernon High School, West Potomac High School, and South County Secondary. We also sponsor the K-Kids Club at Stratford Landing Elementary and the CKI Club at NOVA Community College, Alexandria Campus. We buy and distribute books to the pre-kinder Head Start classes at Gum Springs and INOVA Mt. Vernon Hospital's daycare facility three times a year.
We routinely send kids and families from Sacramento and Creekside Neighborhood Centers to Fairfax County summer camp programs, to the National Aquarium in Baltimore, and to the Air and Space Museum in Chantilly. We support the boys and girls in both Neighborhood Centers and clients of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services with other activities and sponsorships. We collect food at the Hollin Hall Safeway for UCM's Food Pantry, and we sell Christmas trees at Belle View Shopping Center to raise funds for all our community service projects. Also, we collect fresh produce and fruit at the Sherwood Hall Farmer's Market and donate it to UCM. We do more than this (ask us about our disabled Boy Scouts troop or ESL and computer training classes), but you get the idea.
If you would like to learn more about us and how you can help us help others, then please call Bruce or Joanne Malkin at 703-360-7725 or send us an e-mail by using the Email Webmaster link on this page.
