Riding the momentum of a pair of season-high scores, the Cal State Fullerton gymnastics team heads north to Logan, Utah, for the 2006 Western Athletic Conference Gymnastics Championships hosted by Utah State University on Saturday (March 25) at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum at 2 p.m. (MST). The Titans are one of six teams competing for the conference crown alongside the host Aggies, San Jose State, Sacramento State, Southern Utah, and Boise State.
The 2006 WAC Gymnastics Championship will be the first for the conference since 1993... The University of Utah claimed the last three consecutive conference titles from 1991-93, including the 1992 NCAA Championship... Only two coaches, Boise State's Sam Sandmire and Southern Utah's Scott Bauman, were active the last time the WAC awarded a conference title.
Fans unable to make the trip to Utah this weekend can catch all the action live over the Internet for free as the Western Athletic Conference will webcast the 2006 WAC Gymnastics Championships from Logan, Utah. Log on to http://www.wac.tv to catch all the action. Fans must have a high-speed Internet connection (DSL or cable modem is best) along with the most recent version of Microsoft Windows Media Player to view the competition.
Southern Utah enters the weekend as the highest-ranked conference school, standing at No. 25 in the nation with a regional qualifying score of 194.325. No. 28 Boise State (193.995) and No. 30 Sacramento State (193.880) also join the Thunderbirds in the top 30. San Jose State is ranked No. 33 (193.305), Utah State is ranked No. 37 (192.970), and Cal State Fullerton comes in at No. 49 (191.950).
Cal State Fullerton is 6-7 all-time against Boise State, 13-6 against Sacramento State, 35-5 against San Jose State, 5-3 against Southern Utah, and 4-5 against Utah State.
Cal State Fullerton enters this weekend's conference championships on somewhat of a roll after posting its best two scores of the season on the road at Arizona and Southern Utah. The Titans posted a then-previous high of 193.000 to finish third in a quad meet in Tucson, Ariz., and then narrowly bettered that mark with a 193.025 against the Thunderbirds last weekend. In a season of gradual improvement, the 193-plus score at Southern Utah is just over four points better than the 188.875 scored by the Titans in their season-opener on Jan. 8.
In zen-like fashion, the Titans went out and posted a season-high 48.850 on the balance beam last weekend against Southern Utah - only the third time Fullerton has eclipsed 48 points on the apparatus this season (vs. California and at Arizona) and is the highest score by a Titans' beam squad in just over two years since scoring a 48.975 in a three-way meet at Sacramento State on March 12, 2004. The 48.850 was the second-highest beam score in the conference this season, trailing only Utah State's 49.000 on Feb. 10 against Washington and Texas.
Junior Nicole Lim had a career night in helping the Titans to that high beam score, setting a new career mark with a 9.875 to tie for first with teammate Brittany Evans for individual honors. It is the second straight win on the apparatus for Lim, who scored a 9.825 at Arizona on March 11 to win the event in Tucson. In addition, Lim has a pair of second-place finishes and two more top five finishes on the apparatus this season.
Sophomore Amanda Van Horn competed in all 11 meets for the Titans on vault as a rookie and has taken her performances to another level in her second season at Fullerton. Van Horn has scored 9.70 or better in seven of the Titans' 10 meets this season, including a career-best 9.825 in a quad meet at UCLA on Feb. 19. If the season were to end today, Van Horn's season average of 9.715 would rank 10th on the school's single-season list on the apparatus, just mere points (.005 to be exact) behind Heather Fritzsche's 1995 average of 9.72 for eighth place.
Freshman Jessica Tait has been a big contributor to the Titans' beam lineup this season, posting scores of 9.60 or better in all but three of the Titans' meets this season - including a career-best 9.75 on the apparatus against Southern Utah last weekend.
On vault, Oregon native Alana Mouery has also been a consistent performer, reaching 9.60 or better four times, including a career-best 9.725 in her first career meet.
Need a score no matter the event? The Titans have turned to a trio of athletes this season in juniors Brittany Evans and Erica Ficarrotta along with senior Brittany Hoffman. Hoffman, an NCAA Regional qualifier last season, has posted a team-high seven all-around scores of 38 points or higher - including each of her last two meets. Ficarrotta has reached 38 points six times this season, including a team-best 38.800 against California on Feb. 26. Evans has reached the 38-point mark three times this season, but two of those have come in her last two meets, including a season-best 38.325 at Arizona (March 11).
Cal State Fullerton Head Coach Richard Gishi is in his first season at the helm of the Titans' women's gymnastics program after spending the previous six years, and 10 seasons overall, as an assistant coach.
It is the first head coaching position for Gishi, who was hired as the third head coach in the history of the program on April 15, 2005, after Julie Bowse moved to the administrative side of things as Cal State Fullerton's Assistant Athletics Director in charge of compliance.
A local product from Westminster, Calif., Gishi graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 1998 with a degree in kinesiology and health promotion and earned his teaching credential in 2002.
He competed at UCLA from 1978 to 1980 and coached at the club level at Jetes from 1973-78 and SCATS in Huntington Beach, where he worked with the elite group in 1984 before becoming a full-time coach in 1986.
A win is a win... even if it is late in coming. Cal State Fullerton was belatedly declared the winner of its season-opening quad meet against North Carolina State, San Jose State, and Utah State after the NCAA allowed the Titans to figure in a score that was mistakenly left out of the final tabulations. Fullerton had to count an 8.50 on floor exercise instead of Brittany Evans' 9.40 in the final rotation of the night, which plummetted the Titans into third place with a 187.975. However, after consulting with the meet officials and comparing the results of the originial scoresheet, the Titans were allowed to figure in Evans' final score and push the team total to 188.875 - topping North Carolina State by three-tenths of a point.

Press Release
|For Immediate Release
Sue Ducat
From Health Affairs:
US Health Spending Projected to Grow an Average of 5.8 Percent Annually through 2022
Slow Growth is Predicted through 2013, with Higher Growth Thereafter from Expanded Health Coverage and Faster Economic Growth
Bethesda, MD -- New estimates released today from the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) project that aggregate health care spending in the United States will grow at an average annual rate of 5.8 percent for 2012-22, or 1.0 percentage point faster than the expected growth in the gross domestic product (GDP). The health care share of GDP by 2022 is projected to rise to 19.9 percent from its 2011 level of 17.9 percent.
The findings appear as a Health Affairs Web First article and will be published in the October issue. The article provides an analysis of how Americans are likely to spend their health care dollars in the coming decade, with projections for spending by different sectors, payers, and sponsors. The projections reflect a combination of factors affecting health care spending, including provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that increase health insurance coverage and forecasted changes in the nation's economy.
For 2013 health care spending growth is projected to remain under 4 percent because of the sluggish economic recovery, continued increases in cost-sharing requirements for the privately insured, and slow growth for Medicare and Medicaid spending.
But starting in 2014 growth in national health spending will accelerate to 6.1 percent, reflecting expanded insurance coverage through the ACA, through either Medicaid or the marketplaces. The use of medical services and goods, especially prescription drugs and physician and clinical services, among the newly insured is expected to contribute significantly to spending increases in Medicaid (12.2 percent) and private health insurance (7.7 percent). Out-of-pocket spending is projected to decline 1.5 percent in 2014 due to the new coverage and lower cost sharing for those with improved coverage.
By 2022 the ACA is projected to reduce the number of uninsured people by thirty million, add approximately 0.1 percentage points to average annual health spending growth over the full projection period, and increase cumulative health spending by $621 billion.
Analysis by the CMS Office of the Actuary of the past fifty years of National Health Expenditure Accounts data, which explores the relationship between economic and health spending growth, suggests that health spending growth is likely to accelerate once economic conditions improve markedly. "Although projected growth is faster than in the recent past," says Gigi Cuckler, the lead author for the study, "it is still slower than the growth experienced over the longer term."
Key national health expenditure projections for specific timeframes include the following:
In deriving its estimates, the report incorporates two major changes from previous projections. First, the estimates incorporate the June 2012 US Supreme Court ruling that made Medicaid eligibility expansion under health reform optional for the states. Second, the estimates presume that scheduled Medicare physician payment rate reductions under the Sustainable Growth Rate formula do not occur, including a 24.7 percent reduction as of January 1, 2014.

Luke Bryan vs. Tim McGraw – 2014 March Man-Ness, Regional Finals
Country fans have their hands full in deciding this battle between two of Music City's sexiest. Luke Bryan and Tim McGraw both got past tough competition to face off in this March Man-Ness Regional Finals round. It's up to fans to decide who's worthy of moving on to the Final Four.
Bryan's Round 2 matchup against Blake Shelton was the closest of the eight pairings. He won with just 50.6 percent of the vote. The 'Country Girl' singer's sexy resume is well-known — it begins with an irresistible smile and moves down from there.
McGraw may just be his match, however. The country great and all-time country hunk beat Jason Aldean to get to this point. The 'Lookin' for That Girl' singer took over 60 percent of the vote in a contest that only became close toward the end.
Vote for your favorite once every hour until the poll closes at 11:59PM ET on March 30, 2014. The winner of this matchup will face the top Outlaw — Brantley Gilbert or Dierks Bentley.

Crabill's Coincidence
2011/07/15 18:00:15
What a coincidence! Came back from a trip to lunch and found my destination on the home page. Michael Hoffman and I drove 50 miles to Crabill's so that I could try their hamburgers. I was shocked to log onto Roadfood and see the restaurant where I had eaten a few hours earlier. Michael had 3 doubles and I had 2 burgers and we both had Stewart's root beer. Quite an amusing little place and they were packed, we waited awhile for a stool at the counter (there are 8). The three folks putting all these burgers were fascinating to watch. On the way back we stopped at Henry's in West Jefferson for a piece of pie. I had lemon meringue, it was delicious. Truly a Roadfood day!

Once again the people of Queens have learned that a leader they trusted has been picking their pockets.
Former state Sen. Shirley Huntley pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court last week to committing mail fraud in order to cover up a scam that bilked taxpayers out of $87,000.
The woman who sat on southeast Queens' District 28 school board before being elected to the Senate in 2007 admitted in court that she embezzled the money from Parents Information Network Inc., a nonprofit she ran from 1994-2008.
She then falsified records to make it appear as though the funds were legitimately used to help parents navigate the city's school system. She admitted in court that she used the money to pay off credit cards and purchase items for herself.
Because of her plea bargain, instead of the maximum sentence of five years in jail, she will face a sentence of 18-24 months plus three years' supervision. She will also have to repay the $87,000.
The former senator still faces state charges.
In August, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman indicted Huntley on charges of submitting false documents in order to embezzle $29,950 in member items the legislator set aside for the Nassau County-based Parent Workshop, a nonprofit headed by her niece.
After the hearing in Federal Court, Huntley had nothing to say to the press. That's regrettable. She owes southeast Queens voters who put their trust in her an apology as well as her niece and aide whom she allegedly dragged down with her.
The poignant words of U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch will be Huntley's lasting legacy: "Huntley's experience and influence were supposed to be used for the benefit of her constituents. Instead, Huntley used her knowledge of the system to steal funds intended to help some of her neediest constituents ...."
We'd like to think that this will be a cautionary tale for legislators and the heads of the nonprofits that serve New Yorkers.
That would be wishful thinking. Only continued vigilance on the part of federal and state prosecutors and a healthy skepticism on the part of the average citizen will lessen the chances of this happening again.

Tina Fey and her daughter Alice arrived into Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday (January 14). Her husband Jeff Richmond and 5-month-old Penelope were nowhere to be seen.
Alice, 6, wore jeans and a stylish blue jacket. She looks a lot like her mommy!
Tina has a lot to smile about. The 30 Rock star is nominated for Best Actress in a TV Comedy and will be at the Golden Globes tonight!
She recently joked about her stay at Lenox Hill hospital, where both her daughters were born.
Referring to Beyoncé's fancy birthing suite, she said: "My celebrity treatment at Lenox Hill involved taking a group breastfeeding class in a closet. It's clearly supposed to be a storage closet, with a bunch of other mothers, and a nurse grabs one of your breasts and another lady's and is shoving them in a baby's mouth."

text: For those on the forum who reside in Texas, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission (TPWC) is seeking public comment on a proposed rule change allowing the use of suppressors on firearms for the hunting of game species. As stated in a NRA-ILA Alert: Currently, Texas law permits the use of lawfully-possessed suppressors for all other shooting activities, including the taking of nuisance species. Enactment of this rule change would ensure that hunting is treated the same way as other shooting activities with respect to the use of suppressors, and allow all hunters to reap the many benefits suppressor use provides. There is an incredible amount of misinformation on what suppressors do and how they may be acquired. Suppressors are not "silencers", as depicted in typical Hollywood action film. While suppressors do not eliminate the sound of a firearm, they do reduce the muzzle report in a manner similar to the way that a muffler reduces exhaust noise from a vehicle. The benefits associated with suppressor use include increased accuracy due to reduced recoil and muzzle blast, protection from hearing damage and reduced noise pollution. According to the information accompanying the release of the proposed state rules, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has determined that "there is no resource- or enforcement-related reason to prohibit the use of firearm silencers for the take of alligators, game animals or game birds, and therefore proposes to eliminate the current prohibition." Information concerning this proposed rule change can be found on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website by following this link (bottom couple paragraphs on the web page): TPWD: News Release: Jan. 30, 2012: TPWD Proposes Opening Deer Hunting Near Dallas Anyhow, for those so inclined, comments can be sent to: Robert Macdonald Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4775 email@example.com For what it's worth I've included what I sent below: To Whom It May Concern: As the owner of a relatively small piece of Texas property and the father of three children, I strongly support the use of suppressors for hunting. As you well know, suppressors are not "silencers" as Hollywood likes to portray. They are wonderful recoil and noise reducers, and both these attributes are critical to me for the following reasons: 1. Reduced recoil makes for better marksmanship. 2. The use of suppressors permits young people or those of smaller stature to hunt comfortably with a suitable caliber without the need for muzzle brakes (which, by the way, should be prohibited) or excessively heavy firearms to reduce recoil. 3. Several places like mine are the result of larger ranches that have been subdivided. As a result, hunters end up in much closer proximity. At times it seems to be a race to see who can fire first, since the report of the firearm scares game animals on several surrounding properties. The noise reduction a suppressor offers can significantly reduce the effect on game located on surrounding properties, and it could certainly lessen the ill feelings that arise following the first shot of the morning .... There are no sound reasons to continue to prohibit the use of suppressors for hunting game animals. The take of game animals in Texas is very well managed and regulated, and countries such as the UK require the use of suppressors for hearing conservation reasons.

Superstar Matt Morgan: "Should Morgan be a world champion?"
by, 07-14-2013 at 09:53 PM (3348 Views)
All you hear about with Matt Morgan for years has been "potential". Potential to be a main event caliber guy. He has the look and size to pull it off. So why didn't he become what many thought he would? Politics? Lack of oppurtunities? Morgan returned to TNA after teasing that he may leave for WWE around October last year. I didn't believe him going back to WWE would help him get to the level he wanted to get to. So many guys in WWE already have been waiting their turn. You think they would let a guy in his mid-30s come in and use him to perfection? I laugh at him fooling me. I always go the route believe it when I see it anymore because you can never believe anything anymore. Whether it be every Rock return, Sting signing w/WWE, among others. The point of this is to give and hear opinions on Matt Morgan. Could TNA have built him up into a world champion or was it simply Morgan not being good enough? We all know he doesn't have that entertainment factor to him.
What do I believe?: I believe he was good enough to become a TNA world champion. I actually thought he would be next in line behind the face aka good guy who beat Bully Ray to win the world title. That is just my opinion anyway, but I do question the way they have used Morgan. Why wasn't he on TNA Slammiversary ppv? I mean, beating EY in 10 seconds would have been something. Why wasn't he put in the BFG series? It was probably because he asked for his release like a month ago. However, he was still being misused. Why did he come back and join forces with Joey Ryan? Of all people why him? If he wanted to make a statement, should have got involved in a higher profile match like Aces & 8s vs Sting & Bully Ray or the world title match. Instead of creating a ton of confusion, I'll just start from basically where we left off with Matt Morgan. How I would have booked Morgan to world title? Start off from his last high profile match losing to Sting in a #1 contenders match on Impact: (bolded names of guys who he'd fued and wrestle against up til he gets TNA world title at Genesis)
June: Morgan would cost Sting his world title match at Slammiversary 2013 making sure he wouldn't get another TNA world title match for the rest of his career. Why Morgan why? Isn't it obvious? It has always been about the world title to me. 1 of Hogans friends out of the world title picture is good for everybody including me. I'm winning the BFG series this year and no one will stop me from doing so. Hogan, I refuse to stop pushing your buttons til I get what I want, the TNA world title!! Hogan comes out and says his qualifying match for the BFG series is right now vs Joseph Park. He laughs it off as if it is a sure W. During the match, Sting costs Morgan the match. He lost to Joseph Park? That has got to be the worst loss of his career. Fans go nuts as Sting grins on the way to the back. Goes back and complains to Hogan, but Hogan says payback is a you know what. Morgan claims Sting will pay.
July: Following week face to face, Sting tells Morgan, you expected no retaliation? You thought I was going to let you get away with taking something from me for my whole career, the world title. I cost you the BFG series, now you are going to have to wait a lot longer for that world title shot. You think that is funny don't you Sting? Next week, this boot is kicking Sting's ass out of TNA! Sting thinks Morgan will have trouble after he breaks his back with the scorpion deathlock. Morgan wins, but still is not able to get Hogan to give him the TNA world title shot. He says the X-Division champion is next in line for that. Guess who is attacked backstage, the x-Division champion Chris Sabin. Before Morgan can finish the job, Kurt Angle attacks Morgan from behind with a chair. Tells Morgan, if you get involved in that world title match, I will break your ankle. To give you a preview, he slams the chair across Morgan's ankle. Now we understand each other? During the world title match, Morgan is at the top of the ramp walking slowly thanks to his ankle injury. Angle attacks from behind and puts him in the ankle lock. They have a match and Angle defeats him with the ankle lock.
August: Starts a feud with Chris Sabin afterwards, claiming he should have never been given a world title oppurtunity. He is too much of a small fry, Sabin/Morgan have their match. Sabin proved he is no small fry. Took Morgan to limits not even Morgan thought he could take him too, but of course Morgan wins. Following week is met up with no small fry, Rob Terry. Claims, Morgan needs to pick on someone his own size like him. Open Fight Night, Terry challenges Morgan. Morgan comes out, acts like is he serious? Couple of clotheslines, shoulder blocks, along with some muscle poses....Terry is not joking. This guy is for real, Morgan fakes ankle injury....as the ref goes to ring the bell distracts Terry and big boot to the face for the win. Hogan greets Morgan after the match telling him he is smart. However, next week he will be facing Terry inside a steel cage. Morgan wins after a helluva fight by Rob Terry. The reason for the Rob Terry matchup was to tease down the road when he does win the world title, they could have a match.
September: BFG series the following week crowns the winner I figure on Impact since they no longer have No Surrender to showcase the final 4 competing to win. AJ Styles wins, and is greeted with a big boot to the face . It should have been him according to Morgan. Hogan had it with Morgan, says you want that TNA world title shot so bad? How about you earn it at BFG vs me(Hogan). You beat me, you get your TNA world title shot any time any place you want. I beat you, you are FIRED!!
October: Hogan is of course defeated by Matt Morgan at TNA's biggest ppv of the year, BFG!! Can he compete or wrestle any more? I don't know, but I know there has been rumors he may face Bully Ray this year. Can he not take a big boot quick from Morgan? That is what I was thinking going in to make him really over. Where does he want the world title match? Next ppv, which is Genesis. Why not Impact next night or whatever, his first world title win should be on ppv. AJ is the world champion after defeating Bully Ray. I was thinking, Lockdown, but that is 6 months basically from that point. Wouldn't make a lot sense to wait, but I hate the fact it would be a short reign for AJ. Aces & 8s bullcrap likely will be over before Genesis hopefully. Morgan wins of course at Genesis. AJ gets his rematch and loses along with turning heel in the process.
There you have it!! That is how I would have booked Matt Morgan to win his first TNA world title. How would you have booked it? Do you see Morgan going to ROH or WWE? Coming back to TNA? Does he have the potential to be a world champion? Did TNA make a mistake? Leave that and more in the comment section below. Thanks for reading!!

ardour web account: financial subscription
this is not really an ardour issue, but shouldn't the financial subscribtion appear in my account after 3 months or so?
I was just wondering because you are listing that point but there is nothing written on it.
it depends how and when you signed up. if you did so without being signed in as "qnull", we could not associate your subscription with your site login name. i have records for all subscriptions, but none match the email address you have associated with your site login.
I changed my account email-adress so it should be the same as in the subscription. Now you should be able to find it.
Thank you
That's correct. You signed up on May 5th, and have made 3 subsequent payments. I believe you were not logged in when you subscribed, hence the lack of any apparent subscription info.
Thank you very much for supporting Ardour's development.
Thank you for this great application

Establishing a Clearinghouse to Reduce Impediments to Water Quality Trading
Pennsylvania adopted a water quality trading program to reduce Chesapeake Bay nutrient pollution. It is the first such program to provide regulated point sources the option of purchasing nutrient reduction credits via arms-length market transactions to achieve mitigation requirements. After the program initially experienced limited trading, the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority designed a nutrient credit clearinghouse to reduce some of the transaction costs and risks that impeded market activity. We review the clearinghouse functionality, examine initial results of its implementation, and evaluate its effectiveness. Nutrient credit auctions conducted by the clearinghouse revealed that the clearinghouse provided benefits for participants seeking to buy credits and that purchasing credits could be a least-cost compliance alternative for many regulated point sources. To our knowledge, this is the first clearinghouse to successfully administer a nutrient credit auction on behalf of regulated point sources seeking to comply with a discharge permit.

i was hesitant to order glasses on line, but my daughter loved the frames so considering the reasonable price we gave it a go. We are both pleased with the outcome and will order again!!!!
Color: Black/Striped; Size: S
The glasses were great, as usual. This is my 10th pair and the quality and speed of delivery is always great. The only problem I have is that I always request the arms be tight so they don't fall off my face, but they never come tight. Please listen to the requests on the orders!

Pleasantly surprise how well organized this company was. I waited to see how they produced my regular eyeglasses before I placed an order for Sunglasses which I am now looking at frames and making the decision next week. Great job.

Cleantech funds are hardly barnburners, but it is interesting to note that many may have performance multiples of at least capital invested.
This is according to Preqin, which in a recent report found the median multiple for cleantech funds is above 1.00x. The company compares distributions and fund value with cash invested.
The company said it monitors 219 funds with vintages of 2002 to 2010. The only year for which the median multiple is below 1.00x is 2010, and for this vintage it is 0.99x, the report finds. Obviously 2010 funds are at an early stage and performance can be expected to improve.
"The highest median multiple produced is by vintage 2003 funds, which have 1.26x paid-in capital," Preqin says.
For funds making investments in the United States, the report finds a 1.07x multiple on contributed capital while European funds are at 1.00x.
It is likely much of the value of cleantech funds remains in portfolio holdings instead of distributed cash, since exit markets have been slow to materialize. But with several cleantech IPOs lining up, including potential offerings from Silver Spring Networks, BrightSource Energy and Enphase Energy, this could begin to change.

Moms share stories of love, loss, motherhood at Listen to Your Mother
Posted April 27, 2014
Any mother can tell you life doesn't go as planned.
That's especially so for Lisa Bulls and Erin Duffy, two local moms who also are cast members of next month's Listen to Your Mother live storytelling show. The program, with locally produced shows across the country, features stories of mothers and motherhood. It's scheduled for May 6 and May 8 at William Peace University in downtown Raleigh.
They are among the 14 local women who are part of this year's cast.
Bulls, a mom of two, will weave an emotional story that starts when she became pregnant with her first daughter while still in college. Years later, that daughter would experience the same thing - pregnancy as a college student.
"Later that day, in my 'safe place,' the shower, I cry," she writes about her emotions after learning her daughter is pregnant. "I cry and cry and cry until I'm all cried out ... literally. I feel disappointed. Angry. Betrayed. Heartbroken. The timing isn't right."
Duffy focuses on her youngest daughter, a "surprise" baby. Soon after her daughter was born four years ago, Duffy's attentions turned elsewhere as her older daughter faced her own struggle and her middle daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. She watched as her little one soaked in the love and attention of the friends and family who stepped in to care for her. (Full disclosure: My daughter is good friends and classmates with one of Duffy's daughters).
"... As I head toward 50 and feel the toll of the last few years, I wonder what kind of mother Beatrice will have," Duffy writes. "My darling baby, what will I have left for you when you're a teenager? Will I fail you? Have I failed you already?"
Writing down their thoughts and feelings wasn't new for either Duffy, an attorney, and Bulls, a program director at Wake Technical Community College. Bulls said she finds the exercise cathartic. She wrote a lot as she struggled with the emotions after learning her daughter was pregnant.
"I had to grow from it and I have grown from it," she said. She's always looking for "what is the blessing behind the lesson," she said.
Duffy went to last year's show, the first for Raleigh, with her own mother.
"We both had a great time and were just moved by the power of people living in and sharing their truths with others," she tells me. "It was a great experience. Even at last year's show, I thought I would love to try to do that."
She's written a lot about her two older daughters, but not as much about her little one. In the middle of one night last fall, after her youngest climbed into bed with her, she looked at her small, sleeping face and the subject of the essay she'll read next week came to her.
"She gets her own thing," Duffy said.
Listen to Your Mother is 7:30 p.m., May 6 and May 8, at Kenan Auditorium at William Peace College in downtown Raleigh. Tickets for the shows, which sold out last year, are $20. Go to the Listen to Your Mother Raleigh Durham show website for more about the show and writers and to get your tickets. Last year's show was so much fun. I look forward to this one! It's a great moms' night out outing!
Go Ask Mom features local moms every Monday.

People like to say that Washington, DC is like Hollywood for not so pretty people. Must be so, as the Washington Post is reduced to writing about what journalists wear. Matt Welch is described thusly:
Matt Welch, a former Los Angeles Times opinion writer who wears pink vests with rhinestone buttons
And his new pals at Reason get the same treatment:
…Reason editors, most of whom wear T-shirts or hoodies.
Is it too late for Matt and Emmanuelle to turn around and come back to LA?

is a daily service charge for light, heat and janitor

objectives of the League and willing to do everything
possible to make their stay on the Campus pleasant.
Mr. Trego, reporter, came into the meeting.
Comptroller's Report and Recommendations
1 - Storage - 4 steel buildings have been received, 20 x 48 feet
each, similar to the temporary classroom buildings, delivered
to the University f. o. b. Reno without cost. It was tenta-
tively planned to use them as follows:
1 20 x 48 ft. for the Fleischmann Dairy Farm
1 20 x 48 ft. for the South Virginia Farm
1/2 20 x 24 ft. for steam boiler for Mechanical Engineer-
ing Department
1 1/2 20 x 72 ft. for Buildings and Grounds
Motion by Mr. Sheerin passed unanimously that the request of
Mr. Fleming that one building 20 x 48 ft. originally intended
for the South Virginia Farm be made available for the Soils
Department to be erected at the expense of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, and that the Buildings and Grounds Com-
mittee of the Regents, together with the President, be au-
thorized to find a suitable location for the building on the
Campus, to be erected at once.
Motion by Mr. Sheerin passed unanimously that the location
for the Buildings and Grounds storage unit as selected by
the Buildings and Grounds Committee in the rear of the pres-
ent Quonset Huts on the north end of the Campus, be approved.
Motion by Mr. Sheerin passed unanimously that the Comptroller
be authorized to proceed with the installation of the new
steam boiler for the Mechanical Engineering Department at an
estimated cost of $25,000.
2 - Agricultural Building Repairs - Motion by Mrs. Henningsen
passed unanimously that the Comptroller be authorized to go
ahead with installation of an oil burning hot water boiler
with an auxiliary hot water storage tank in the basement of
the Agricultural building at an approximate cost of $1425.50,
and the erection of an outside chimney on the west side of
the building at an approximately cost of $1100, in order to
relieve the burden on the present hot water system and to
furnish sufficient hot water for the Home Economics Depart-
3 - Office Personnel - Motion by Mrs. Henningsen passed unani-
mously that the Comptroller be authorized to employ one ad-
ditional Clerk, the salary to be paid from County funds,
after January 1, 1948, when expenditures are made for sup-
port of County Agents and County budgets are filed in the
Comptroller's office.
Motion by Mr. Sheerin passed unanimously that, effective
January 1, 1948, Miss Mary Moulton, Clerk in the Comptrol-
ler's office, be increased to $200 per month.
4 - Lewis Retirement - Motion by Mr. Cahlan passed unanimously
that Maurice E. Lewis, Custodian of the Library building,
be retired on July 1, 1948, at an amount equal to 1/3 of
his average salary for the 5 years preceding June 30, 1948
(which is $48.66) and that the University supplement the
earnings of his policy with the Teachers Insurance and
Annuity Company by an amount sufficient to make $48.66 per
5 - Gabbs Pilot Plant Equipment - Negotiations have been under
way with the War Assets Administration and the Federal Works
Agency to secure the equipment for the Mining School of the
University. The estimated cost for moving the material from
Gabbs to Reno is $2,000, and the installation cost is esti-
mated to run from $35,000 to $40,000.
Director Carpenter appeared before the Board and expressed
his desire to secure the pilot plant which, he said, would
be of great benefit to Mining students. A suitable location
would have to be found, perhaps off the Campus on leased
Motion by Mr. Cahlan passed unanimously that the University
continue negotiations with the Federal agencies to secure
this pilot plant.
6 - Heating Plant - It was the consensus of opinion that the
inverted siphon should be constructed to divert waters from
the Orr Ditch before the Heating Plant building is construct-
ed thereby enabling the Heating Plant building to be moved 25
to 30 feet further west, and leaving that much more room for
the lower Campus.
Motion by Mr. Cahlan passed unanimously that the State Plan-
ning Board be asked to secure an opinion from the Attorney
General on the following points:
1) Would the construction of an inverted siphon to divert
waters from the Orr Ditch in order to make it possible
to move the Heating Plant building west on the land now
occupied by the Orr Ditch be a legitimate charge against
the appropriation for the construction of the Heating
Plant, in view of the fact that the inverted siphon is an
integral part of this construction project?
2) Would it violate the provisions of Chapter 247, Statutes
1947, making an appropriation for the construction "of a
modern, efficient and adequate Heating Plant" to con-
struct only the Heating Plant and boilers at this time,
taking into consideration the fact that the complete
Heating Plant system cannot be constructed with the funds
Reporters Mc Gill and Trego left the meeting at 12 noon. Mr.
Palmer left at 12:15 and the Board recessed for luncheon at the
University Dining Hall.

The Board recessed at 4:30 P.M. and went with the entire agri-
cultural group to the President's house for a reception honoring
the members of the Board of Regents.
The recessed meeting of the Board was called to order by Chairman
Ross in the President's office at 10 A.M., December 13, 1947,
with all Regents, the Comptroller and the President present.
Also present were Jeff Springmeyer and Art Palmer of the Legis-
lative Council, and Allan Mc Gill, reporter.

have been installed in the new Gymnasium and have a seating
capacity of 1200.
b) President Moseley reported on his efforts to secure funds
for publishing the material of Dr. Church in the development
of his snow survey work. No definite progress has been made
as yet but a further report will be given at the January
meeting of the Board.
Reporter Trago came into the meeting.
Old Business
a) Race Track - The request of the State Agricultural Society
that the University accept lease to the race track property
for whatever use they may wish to make of it was brought up
for reconsideration.
Motion by Mr. Hilliard passed unanimously that the State
Agricultural Society be notified that, in view of having
received different sets of values on the buildings and land
involved, the Regents are reconsidering their former resolu-
tion and will take the matter up again at their next regular
meeting; in the meantime, the State Agricultural Society is
free to do whatever they see with the property.
b) Outside Employment - President Moseley read a letter from
Dean Wood as Chairman of the Administrative Council recom-
mending that Mr. Plumley, Assistant Professor of Economics,
Business and Sociology, and Mr. Smith, Associate Professor
of History and Political Science, be allowed to continue
their part time employment with other State agencies, but
that their teaching load and their salary be pro-rated ac-
Motion by Mrs. Henningsen passed unanimously that the recom-
mendation be approved for this school year because of present
circumstances, but with the definite understanding that no
further extension of time will be granted.
New Business
Dining Hall - The Student Improvement Committee appeared before
the Board of Regents and under the Chairmanship of Henry Stewart
requested that a thorough investigation of the University Dining
Hall be made. Present also were Dean Mobley, Dean Griffin and
Mr. Grayson. Two resolutions had previously been passed in a
meeting held at the Dining Hall, as follows:
1. That the Student Improvement Committee present the case
to the Board of Regents.
2. That from now on a financial statement be published
monthly in the Sagebrush covering income and expendi-
tures of the Dining Hall.
Chairman Ross thanked the students for coming before the Regents
and for giving them this information, as well as for the research
which they carried out, and stated that this matter would be in-
vestigated with a view of working out a plan which will be fair
to everybody and practical to everybody.
The Board recessed at 12:40 noon to have luncheon at the Dining
Hall, and was called to order at 1:30 P.M. by the Chairman in
the President's office.
Motion by Mr. Sheerin passed unanimously that the President be
authorized to employ an expert in the field of College Dining
Rooms, known and recommended by Dean Mobley, and that if this
woman cannot be secured, the President be authorized to look
for someone else qualified to analyze the managerial aspect of
the Dining Hall and make recommendations.
Board of Athletic Control - The following members of Athletic
Control appeared before the Regents: Harry Frost, Chairman,
Meryl W. Deming, P. A. Lehenbauer, James Glynn, Joe Mc Donnell,
Gene Mastroianni. Present also were F. W. Wilson, Chairman of
the Faculty Athletic Committee, Art Palmer, Assistant to the
Legislative Council, and Bob Trego, reporter.
Dr. Deming presented for discussion the statements regarding the
Faculty Athletic Committee and the Board of Athletic Control as
they appear in the University catalogue, the Rules and Regula-
tions for University Faculty and the Regulations for the Guidance
of Undergraduates.
Motion by Mr. Hilliard passed unanimously that the original reso-
lution as adopted by the Regents on April 3, 1939, be the pre-
vailing document and that all University publications be revised
in accord with the statement appearing on page 75 of the Univer-
sity of Nevada Bulletin, Catalogue Issue, 1947-48, as follows:
The duties of the Faculty Athletic Committee are as follows:
To certify the scholastic eligibility of intending partici-
pants in all sports, both Freshmen and Varsity. Cases of
ineligibility shall be reported both to the Coaches and stu-
dents concerned.
The eligibility rules are printed in the current issue of
Regulations for the Guidance of Undergraduates.
Mr. Mc Donnell brought up for discussion the matter of payment
for permanent improvements to athletic facilities. The Board
of Athletic Control, in the past, has paid for improvements and
is asking that a policy be set regarding future payments. Mr.
Mc Donnell was asked to present in writing a statement of such
expenditures by the Board of Athletic Control together with a
recommendation for the consideration of the Board of Regents.
Mr. Frost was requested to prepare recommendations on eligibility
from the Board of Athletic Control to be presented to the Board
of Regents.
Chairman Ross thanked the group for appearing; Chairman Frost
thanked the Regents on behalf of the Board of Athletic Control
for the cooperation and good will of the Regents.
Student Union Building
President Moseley told of the request of the Alumni Association
as presented to him by Mark Yori, President, that the Alumni
Association take the lead in raising funds for a Student Union
building. By unanimous agreement, the request was granted, with
the understanding that all other groups and individuals be allow-
ed to participate in securing money for this pupose.
Old Gymnasium
President Moseley expressed the hope that it will be possible
to house the 72 now sleeping in the old Gymnasium in more suit-
able quarters with the least possible delay, not only for the
benefit of the men, but also in order to make this space avail-
able for classes in Physical Education. In this connection,
Regent Hilliard volunteered to go to Hawthorne to look at bar-
racks which might be suitable for Dormitory housing.
The meeting adjourned at 4:10 P.M.
The next meeting was set for January 24, 1948.

FOLLOWING the death of a woman yesterday in an incident at Wotton Lawn Hospital, Gloucester, magistrates have authorised a further 36 hours for police to question a 60 year old man under arrest in relation to the police investigation, and to secure and preserve further evidence.
The victim has now been named as Sharon Wall (53), a Healthcare Assistant from Gloucester.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Porter, the Senior Investigating Officer, said:
"The family are extremely distressed at the tragic loss of their loved one and have asked for some privacy and time to grieve during this difficult period."

I tried both the medium and the small size cups on the E352 earphones, and while the small fit more comfortably in my ear, the medium produced the better sound, most notably more responsive on bass notes. As Arctic Cooling points out in the guide, a snug fit will ensure the best performance, although I was not happy with the pressure this induced, particularly on my left ear when used for extended periods. Thinking the silicone cups may be partly to blame, I tried a medium size from another set I have, and was much relieved to find these a softer feel. The cups that come with the AC earphones just seem a little stiff and rubbery, which also makes them more difficult to take off and on when changing between sizes.
To test out the Arctic Sound E352 earphones I fired up some classic AC/DC and used in particular the Back in Black track to compare the sound to another set I recently reviewed, the Razer Moray+. While both produced clear, distortion-free mids and highs, the Arctic Sound E352 were definitely superior at hitting the low notes. I used the same set of cups, the Razer's medium fit, on both earphones during the testing due to the previously mentioned comfort issue.
I have to admit, earphones are not my favorite way of listening to music. I just don't care for something sticking in my ear, and if I absolutely have to have something there, then I'm pretty demanding that it fit comfortably. Once I changed out the ear cups I was able to withstand having them in for an extended duration. I think the sound is good, probably the best I've ever heard from a set of earphones, although I still don't think it matches the richness you can obtain from over-the-ear headphones. But obviously these are more portable and less cumbersome to use.
Arctic Cooling lists the Arctic Sound E352 on their website at a retail price of $69.95 US dollars. At the time of review I was not able to find them at any reseller sites, however I assume the "street" price will be slightly less. Compared to other high quality earphones like the Razer Moray, this price is still on the high side. However you do get a slightly better sound and the uniqueness of having the enclosures made of real wood, not plastic. If they came with softer ear cups the E352 would be a solid hit, but at least they use the same design as everyone else, and cups from just about any manufacturer should fit if you want to change them out.
OCIA.net awards the Arctic Cooling Arctic Sound E352 earphones our Silver Seal of Approval.

Injured dog makes startling recovery, Soon available for adoption
Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:25:03 GMT —
Nearly two weeks after being turned into the Lucas County Dog Warden, as a stray, a severely injured pit bull is well on his way to a full recovery.
Shortly after being found, the male dog now named Mr. Jenkins was taken in by the Lucas County Pit Crew.
The Toledo-area rescue set up a chip-in account to collect enough money to pay for a skin graft, to cover a large wound on the back of Mr. Jenkins head, and to remove a portion of an injured paw.
Days later donations, from as far away as Australia, poured in and quickly reached the $700.00 needed to pay for the procedures.
"We appreciate it so much. It makes it possible for us to save dogs like Mr. Jenkins," Jean Keating of the Lucas County Pit Crew said.
In addition to the donations from the public, Dr. Gary Thompson performed the needed surgeries at half the usual cost.
Believed to be around 1-year-old, Mr. Jenkins will be in a foster home until sometime next week when he will go up for adoption.
"They would be one lucky family to have Mr. Jenkins and he's a ton of fun. He could really care less about what happened to him. He's all about let's play," Keating added.
The Lucas County Pit Crew believes Mr. Jenkins may have sustained his injuries in a dog fighting operation.
However, he is said to be friendly with other dogs and very energetic despite all he has been through.

Capital Region Softball Coach Fired After Re-Tweeting Derogatory Racial Comment
Donald Sterling has some company grabbing race-related headlines this week as a substitute teacher in New York is now without a job after allegedly re-posting a comment on social media.
MetroSource is reporting that Zoe Naylor, whose personal Twitter page appears to have been shut down as of this posting, admitted to re-tweeting a racially derogatory post on the site.
Naylor, who has been working for New York's Albany City School District at the Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School since 2012, also coached the girls' softball team.
The tweet consisted of a photo of a baby and text below it which read, "lil n—- (sic) look like john legend (sic)," referring to the actor and Grammy award winning singer songwriter.
Naylor was subsequently fired. Ron Lesko, a spokesman for the district, has told ABC's Albany-based station News 10 that they "…do not tolerate the use of that kind of language by any employee of our district."
The tweet by Naylor follows one by another Twitter user, rahel (Twitter: @_rahella).
My nephew looks like John Legend lol pic.twitter.com/BKCIMOuKop
— rahel (@_rahellla) April 20, 2014
The picture posted by "rahel" was of her infant nephew, who does bear a striking resemblance to the celebrity. So much so that the media took notice.
John Legend himself responded to the tweet, which by then had been picked up by ABC News and Buzzfeed, showing his real baby picture.
My actual baby picture. For comparison's sake http://t.co/JliUA0Sy9r
— John Legend (@johnlegend) April 22, 2014
It is unknown at this time if "rahel's" picture was that to which Naylor was originally responding. However, the two tweets appeared within a few days of one another, the original and more innocent sharing of a family member's baby picture was posted on April 20, 2014. And, although the picture in the Naylor tweet was most likely also that of an adorable baby, all seem to agree that there was nothing cute about the comment that accompanied it.

semi-auto magazine question?
If I insert a loaded magazine in a semi auto will the bullet be inserted in the chamber without pulling the slide back? I bought my first semi auto today I always been a revolver Guy and was just curious

To answer your question, no. The slide must be pulled to the rear and released with a loaded magazine to chamber a round.
Also, if a loaded magazine is inserted in a pistol with the slide locked to the rear, when the slide is released to move forward it chambers a round.
Finally, remember rule number 1:
NEVER assume that a gun--ANY gun--is unloaded.
First point the gun in a safe direction--one that will STOP a bullet cold.
Remove the magazine.
Pull the slide to the rear, and lock it into place.
Visually and PHYSICALLY check the chamber.
Leave slide open. The pistol is now clear.
If the gun leaves your hand, EVEN FOR A SECOND, ALWAYS assume that the gun has LOADED ITSELF.
Clear it again.
Finally, a suggestion--I highly recommend that you find an NRA First Steps and Basic Pistol course. This will acquaint you on handguns in a positive and safe manner. Best of luck to you!

Very good advice from Powderman.
As Powderman explained, if your slide is back and you insert a loaded mag and release the slide forward, you now have a round in the chamber.
I'm going to add that once you have done the above and want to unload the pistol, simply removing the mag does NOT unload the pistol. You will still have the chambered round that was stripped from the mag when you released the slide when loading.
Sooo.. to unload... remove mag ,pull slide back and chambered round will eject out ejection port. Then you can visually inspect that the chamber is clear.

Maybe not a troll - the "always been a revolver guy" part might mean a different amount of experience to the OP than it does to us.
I trained my kids on revolvers. Gave a semi-auto to a son, when he was well into adulthood and had a renewed interest in firearms, and he had the exact same lack of knowledge about chambering a round as does the OP. It just hadn't occurred to me that he would not know this, after seeing me rack rounds for him at the range during his intro to the gun.
Best not to humiliate anyone who comes here for advice, IMO.

357 Mag, in all seriousness, why not take a safety class at a local range if you are unfamiliar with autos? That might serve you in well in the long term.

How would a round get into the chamber when the slide is forward and physically blocking the chamber?
I know you're a revolver guy, but it sounds like are so unfamilar with how firearms work that you may want to get some basic training to avoid being a danger to yourself and others.

While the answers to some questions may be obvious to some with experience in that field, a person with no experience in that field should never be condemned for asking ANY question.
Helping others, learning ourselves and having general firearm conversation is what TFL is supposed to be about...or so I thought.
Powderman gave very good advice in his post advising the OP to take a basic firearms course.

Perhaps we should just be a read-only board? You cannot come here and ask ANY question that you did not:
1) Google first
2) Do a search of the forum first
3) If you have less than 1000 posts
4) You never took a course in handgun safety
5) All of the above
Seriously, if you don't have an answer to a question from a newbie then don't post anything instead of becoming a bully and chasing the new guy off the boards. If we can control who is allowed to ask questions we can clean up these boards! No newbies with dumb questions allowed! Now, with that said we can just go on and talk about caliber wars, if we can only have 3 guns and which 9mm to buy for self defense. I'm sure the old guys on this board can impart their wisdom on these fine topics.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

How about we give the guy the benefit of the doubt and not jump down his throat?
He may well be entirely ignorant of how a semi-automatic pistol works.
If he is, in fact, a troll, that will be revealed in due time. I think it is always really obnoxious for members of a forum to get on people's case for asking a question.
As far as I know, nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to read anything here, or opening up any new topic.

A troll if you do not know...
Is someone who gets on the internet and makes comments, asks questions, or otherwise writes publicly (like in forums) in a manner designed to anger and incite people.
An example would be someone going to a Democrat Party forum and starting a new thread titled. "George Bush Rules!"
Or an Anti-gunner posting on this forum about the "evils" of gun ownership.
Its just asking for trouble and arguments.
And the first two posts should have answered your questions.

Unless we were born with the understanding of semi-auto, magazine fed handguns, there was a time in our lives when we didn't know the answer, either.
Don't let this forum descend to the depths of AR15's General Discussion section. They eat folks alive there just for fun.
That is, unless he asks which is better .45 or 9 mm.

357 Mag:
Don't let a few smart aleck comments discourage you from visiting and posting in this forum. There are a lot of knowledgable folks here who will be happy to help you with any questions you may have. There are some smart alecks too, which I probably have been guilty of myself at times. Sift through the responses and ignore the useless ones. While your question may seem silly to some we need to remember that there was a time when each of us didn't know what we do now. We are here because of a common interest in firearms.
Enjoy your new semi-auto and shoot safe.
This is my gun. There are many like her, but this one is mine.
I'm not old. I'm CLASSIC!

I would suggest as others have go to a range or out with some that is knowledgeable with semi-auto pistols. As with all firearms they can be dangerous if not used correctly semi-autos especially if someone is not sure how they operate. Good luck.

357 Mag - you sound exactly like my son. He had the same relative experience and question after I had given him his first semi-auto. He could have been in a world of hurt in a self-defense situation if he hadn't later asked me, because he thought that inserting the mag was all that was needed to be ready to fire. Two working parents with kids, no time to watch the gun shows on Outdoor and Sportsman cable channels.
Welcome to the forum and good for you, for accepting skeptical challenges and sticking with it. Glad you have thick skin. Real trolls are figured out in fairly short order, in my experience. I am relatively new to this forum, but not to forums in general and have been a shooter and gun-lover for 60 years, though not nearly at as high a level as some of these guys. There is still a heck of a lot that I don't know and when I ask questions here and I always get outstanding, competent answers.

I know of no gun designed to do this, but it happens quite often with some guns. If you insert the magazine forcefully it you will sometimes release the slide stop closing the slide and chambering a round. My Glocks seem to do it more often than other guns, but I've had it happen with several makes including rifles such as AR's
It doesn't hurt anything and there is nothing wrong with your gun if it does it even though your gun is not designed specifically to do this.

Perhaps we should remember that whatever we know about firearms we learned somewhere. Knowledge of handguns is neither congenital nor genetic. I'm 55, and I learn something nearly every day. I expect and hope to keep learning until the first shovelful of dirt goes over my face.
