Erica Bell stuck her finger close to the black scorpion and made a motion to prod it. The scorpion scuttled and undulated its stinging tail quickly — but, it was no big deal.
Bell is anything but an arachnophobe. And the scorpion, an arachnid with five inches left to grow, is too underdeveloped to really pack a punch, she said Saturday. Regardless, two young boys watching turned instead to Bell's plastic models of scorpions, with fake stingers and sets of rubbery guts they could pick apart, mess-free.
But seeing an obsidian-colored African scorpion up close is still pretty cool, the whole point of the Cool Science Carnival Day, the kick-off event at University of Colorado, at Colorado Springs for the weeklong Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival.
Bell, a member of the Bug Club, brought just a few of her two dozen pet arachnids to the carnival, and was joined by Lego engineers, wildlife preservation groups and many more on Saturday for the first of day of geeking-out over all things science.
Just down the hall from Bell — past the birds of prey exhibit — Joyce Ruddy was teaching the basics of civil engineering and mechanics to 5-year-olds. It's easier than it sounds.
Ruddy, and instructor with Play-Well Technologies, a pre-engineering education group that uses Legos, believes that early introduction to mechanics — building toy cars and airplanes — segues well into math skills later on, she said. She helped teach two classes on Saturday, one to a group of eight to 12 year olds, another to the group of five to seven year olds, and both classes had waiting lists.
"We were quite popular today," she said, as a frenzy of kids scrambled to pick up Lego pieces.
Play-Well does classroom style lessons as well as birthday parties, she said.
"So, I show up at the door with $10,000 worth of Legos," Ruddy explained. The otherwise-expensive Legos pieces used to make robots are at the disposal of kids, all so they can learn about gear-ratios, Ruddy said.
"It's so great to get them thinking that way," she added, explaining that basic comprehension of how gears work will help with fractions when kids reach high school.
Bell and Ruddy's exhibits were only two of 80 different organizations at Saturday's carnival. The week ahead promises beer brewing lessons, forensic lab tours and science-themed ride along the Cog Railway.

The New Jersey Association of Licensed Professional Home Inspectors (NJ-ALPHI) Offers Returning Veterans a Free Helping Hand.
Returning veterans who are aspiring to become or are licensed NJ Home Inspectors qualify for the new NJ-ALPHI program "Returning Veterans Education and Training for Success" (RVETS).
The "RVETS" Program provides a two (2) year free membership to NJ-ALPHI, inclusive of free Continuing Education Units during that time and all the rights and privileges associated with membership. This represents a considerable cost savings to the participants.
This program was designed by NJ-ALPHI to give back to our Veterans by eliminating some of the costs involved in becoming a Home Inspector as well as the costs of maintaining a home inspection license in good standing. The RVETS program also provides the added benefit of accompanying seasoned NJ-ALPHI inspectors on their inspections for no cost. This additional on the job training is above and beyond the training and education provided by the Home Inspection schools.
The RVETS program members will also have an additional advantage of obtaining ongoing guidance during the two year free membership from NJ-ALPHI's highly experienced membership roster, also at no additional charge. RVETS provides a unique advantage for our Veterans who make home inspection a career choice. In developing the RVETS program, NJ-ALPHI has positioned itself as a one of a kind Home Inspection professional organization that truly goes the extra mile and then some for the benefit of those who have served our country.
Returning Veterans will be responsible for the cost of classroom schooling and obtaining financial aid and should contact State or Federal Agencies for any programs available.
The New Jersey Association of Licensed Professional Home Inspectors was formed to create an inclusive, broad based association of all stakeholders in the home inspection profession, including all licensed home inspectors, students, trainees, non inspector staff of home inspection companies, and companies affiliated with the home inspection profession. NJ-ALPHI welcomes all who are involved in the home inspection industry to participate in our association.

ROME – The International Rome Film Festival's Twilight Saga day drew to a close Tuesday with an eight-hour-long marathon showing the first four films in the franchise back-to-back, concluding early Wednesday morning at twilight.
About 275 excited fans started a full day of activity related to the film, sponsored by the Rome festival's Alice in the City sidebar, which focuses on films for young people. Activities included screenings of top scenes from the series, meetings with the Italian actors who dubbed the main roles in the films, a Twilight Saga trivia contest, a 12-minute featurette made up of scenes from Richard LaGravenese's upcoming film Beautiful Creatures, and culminating with the international premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which screened to a full house at the festival's main venue, and then the all-night marathon.
FILM REVIEW: Twilight: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2
The premiere took place in Rome without high-profile stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who were instead at the U.S. launch of the film at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. But that just put the fans center stage for the Rome premiere.
Around 100 giddy fans stuck with the program long enough to start the eight-hour film marathon, in which they'd be rewarded during the break between each film with special gifts related to the film, including books, tee-shirts, and DVDs. Each seat in the cinema came equipped with special cans of Pepsi Cola from the soft drink maker's special limited edition series focusing on the film's three main characters.
Several of the fans dressed up as characters from the film, and while waiting in line, recited fan favorite lines from the movies and quizzed each other on scenes from the series.
"Most of these people have seen all the films several times and so it's interesting that they're here to stay up all night to see them again," said Donatella Lambertucci, 34, an office administrator who traveled to Rome from Le Marche, a region around 10 miles north of Rome. She said she made the trip for the Twilight Saga films and to catch a glimpse of Sylvester Stallone, who stars in Walter Hill's Bullet to the Head, which will premiere at the Rome fest Wednesday.

Other fans were less analytical about their reasons for watching the films. "It's for the actors! They're great!" 12-year-old Lea and her 13-year-old friend Virgilia, both from Rome, shouted and giggled when asked why they were waiting in line to see the four films in a row.
Alessandro, 12, said he was just drawn to films with "supernatural characters," while 12-year-old Marina said she came to the marathon for the now rare chance to see the films on the big screen. "Most of the time we have to watch a DVD to see them and it's better on a huge screen," she said.
A few of the moviegoers came with their parents: "My son talks about these films every day but I've never seen more than a few scenes, so this is a way for me to see what all the fuss is about," offered Marco Masciarelli, 44, an engineer.

This year's Rome festival is the first under the artistic director of Marco Mueller, who came to Rome after a successful eight-year stint at the Venice Film Festival. He was approved for the post only five months before announcing the festival lineup, and the local media has criticized him for not attracting more big name premieres to the festival. But The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, along with Hill's Bullet to the Head, Dreamworks' animated adventure tale Rise of the Guardians, and Tar, the latest project involving James Franco are helping to stem some of those criticisms. Both Bullet to the Head and Rise of the Guardians premiere Wednesday, while Tar will screen later in the week.
The seventh edition of the festival, which got underway Nov. 9, concludes Saturday.

DROITWICH boxer Michael Pardoe has no intentions of throwing in the towel as he prepares for his 150th fight.
Pardoe, nicknamed 'Buller,' will take on Telford's Ammir Fiaz at Stourport Civic Centre on Friday night when he will look to add to his number of wins.
Some 19 years have elapsed since he first donned a pair of boxing gloves as an eight-year-old – winning his first bout in Leicester three years later – a victory that earned him the 'boxer of the night' award.
Since then, the father-of-two has fought the likes of former two-time world champion Amir Khan and Commonwealth light middleweight champion Jamie Cox – to showcase a talent that has not only brought him other titles but plenty of plaudits for his voracious boxing style, too.
The 27-year-old claimed the English Schoolboys' Championship crown as a 15-year-old and he landed the prestigious Midland Counties Senior Boxing title two years ago.
He said: "Being the first Droitwich boxer to win a Midlands senior title has been my biggest achievement and is something that I'm very proud of, as well as the fact that I've never been dropped or stopped in any of my 149 fights."
Chris Andrews, Droitwich Amateur Boxing Academy secretary, has watched the majority of Pardoe's bouts – including his very first one – and said reaching the landmark contest typified the fighter's appetite for the sport.
He said: "He is a real terrier of a fighter and a genuine crowd-pleaser."
Boxing fans are invited to watch Pardoe and other DABC fighters in Stourport on Friday, (8pm start). Tickets will be available on the door priced £12 for adults and £5 for children.

I had a consultation with a surgeon in the Chicago area that told me there's nothing he can really do regarding a depressed scar I would like to improve. The area would be to difficult to treat.
Then recently, I got a 2nd opinion and this doctor suggested a laser to smooth the texture and a filler to add volume back.
I'm afraid to go through this because of the contrast in opinions and also I understand that fillers do not last and I probably cant afford to keep it up. Any other suggestions? I live in Southeastern, Wisconsin.

Boy, 12, dies after being hit by car outside group home
Posted March 11, 2014
Clayton, N.C. — A 12-year-old boy died Monday night after a car hit him as he walked along a Johnston County road outside the group home where he lived, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said Tuesday.
Authorities responding around 8:20 p.m. to a call about a wreck found Khalil Todd dead in front of The Lighthouse, at 1521 Ranch Road, about 2 miles outside of Clayton.
Authorities say the driver, Brian Session, 24, was traveling southwest on Ranch Road and hit Todd with the front right side of his 2008 Honda Accord.
Neighbors said Todd was wearing all black last night and that they frequently saw him in the road, carrying a big stick.
Session turned around after the boy was hit and was devastated, crying next to his car, they said.
An unidentified caller told a 911 operator there were no street lights and that Todd was in the middle of the road.
"We just looked up, and he was in the middle of the street, and we didn't have time to stop," the caller said.
Session could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Troopers are still investigating the wreck but said it did not appear that speed or alcohol were factors.
A Highway Patrol spokesman said it will be up to the Johnston County District Attorney's Office to determine whether charges will be filed in the case.
According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, The Lighthouse – owned by KMG Holding Inc. – is a Level III residential treatment facility for young men with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A Level III facility in North Carolina means it is a highly structured and supervised environment.
Neighbors said they have been concerned for a long time about residents of the group home playing in the street.
"Sometimes, they're out there skateboarding in the road, and they'll play basketball and lose the basketball and go out into the road. So, it's been very troubling," said Phil Langford.
"We just kept saying that something is going to happen, and pitifully, it did."
Tammy Amaon, a spokeswoman for the Johnston County Sheriff's Office said deputies have responded to the home 213 times since 2006. The majority of calls, she said, were for one of three reasons – neighbors reporting disturbances, residents going missing and trouble with patients.
The Lighthouse management group released a statement Tuesday morning: "The Board of Directors and staff of The Lighthouse are truly saddened by this tragic accident, and we are keeping his family in our prayers."

Pride, according to some definitions, is a product of praise, independent self-reflection, or a fulfilled feeling of belonging. At NIU, Huskie Pride results from each of these.
First, let me start with the sense of belonging that comes from being a part of the just, caring, open, disciplined, and celebrative university community that is NIU. We are a community, and yes, in many ways, one large, extended family. We look out for each other and work together to create a vibrant and diverse campus learning environment that fosters student career success. Earlier this week, a small group of dedicated alumni and students gathered at NIU-Naperville to discuss the creation of a formal alumni mentoring program geared toward providing NIU students with alumni mentors to help shape and foster their NIU experience and start them on a path to student career success.
Today we extended the bounds of our NIU family to include royalty. I had the privilege of conferring on Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for her academic contributions to science and education as well as humanitarian causes, bettering lives and building community. Our Southeast Asian Studies Center is celebrating 50 years of our mutual partnership with the people of Thailand.
Pride is also the product of independent self-reflection. The university recently completed a period of introspection through an unvarnished, critical eye, and the result was the campus-wide embracing of the Vision 2020 Initiative, a blueprint for NIU's future based on hard data. We also conducted a top-to-bottom self-study in conjunction with the ongoing Higher Learning Commission reaccreditation process. Additionally, over the summer, I have led six external task forces and numerous internal meetings to examine areas critical to NIU's future; together we are developing additional plans to improve the way we deliver a top-quality education to empower our students and position them for success at graduation.
Third, pride is a product of praise, and recent rankings should provide the NIU community and extended family with a deep sense of pride. Whether it is the recently issued U.S. News rankings that place NIU among the top 100 national public universities, Washington Monthly rankings that list NIU as a best value institution, the academic and athletic honors our student-athletes earn, our status as a "Best for Vets" military-friendly school, or the rave reviews we've received for our "residential renaissance" and the recent re-opening of Gilbert Hall, NIU students, faculty, staff, and alumni have much of which to be proud.
So let's pause and take time to celebrate all things Huskie and all that is NIU this weekend during Huskie Pride Weekend, highlighted by our first home football game Saturday evening. I look forward to seeing you then!

In college, I learned a foolproof method for striking up a conversation with just about anyone between the ages of 18 and 22: Mention an old Nickelodeon show, and soon enough, nostalgia would begin flowing like green slime. Sure, every now and then I'd encounter a kid who hadn't grown up with cable (those poor, deprived souls!), but generally speaking, people my age (I just turned 23) have a fierce, borderline obsessive attachment to the TV of our childhood — and we're also all convinced that Nick as a network started to take a serious nosedive in quality around the turn of the millennium.
That's why children of the late '80s (and maybe those of the early '90s as well, though I don't like to think about them because they make me feel ancient) let out a collective shriek of excitement when EW's Lynette Rice broke the news that TeenNick — the Viacom-owned channel formerly known as Noggin and The N — will begin airing Nickelodeon shows from the '90s this fall. Even though the programming block will appear on an obscure cable network from midnight to 2 a.m., I'm still beyond excited. I can't wait to watch old episodes of All That and see if what made me howl with laughter at age 9 (Lori Beth Denberg's "Vital Information," anybody?) still elicits chuckles, or to marvel once more at how truly bizarre Pete & Pete was, especially for a kid's show. I'm ready to watch Tommy Pickles do what a baby's gotta do, and to covet Clarissa Darling's awesome programming skills, and to recite along with the TV when Kenan goads Kel into declaring his love for orange soda: "Is it truuueee?"
In fact, the only problem I have with this announcement is that the shows I loved most — namely, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Salute Your Shorts, and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters — aren't on the list of series that TeenNick is planning to start airing again. [UPDATE: A rep from MTV networks informs me that Salute Your Shorts did, in fact, make the cut. Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna, live Anawanna-wanna UGH!] I know that in this modern age, I can watch clips from the former two on YouTube and full episodes of the latter on Netflix any time I want. But I also know that squinting at my computer screen won't satisfy my nostalgic urges like watching these shows on a real, live TV would. (To really get the full experience, I'll have to watch TeenNick's '90s block while lying on the living room floor, propped up on my elbows, with a piece of string cheese in my right hand and a Mott's apple juicebox or three by my side.)
The net does indicate they're hoping to expand their selection of '90s shows over time; maybe my favorites will be back in the spotlight eventually. But until then, I can certainly make due with this selection. Well, except for The Amanda Show. Did anyone ever really like The Amanda Show?
What about you, PopWatchers: What '90s Nickelodeon gems are you most looking forward to seeing again? What shows do you hope TeenNick will add to the lineup? And what old-school snacks do you plan on eating while taking in your childhood favorites?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed pessimism over the prospects for Mideast peace Thursday as Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Jerusalem for his tenth visit in under a year.
Kerry's latest trip is aimed at producing a "framework agreement" between Israel and the Palestinians that will lay the groundwork for a more permanent peace accord.
Netanyahu, though, used the occasion to raise serious new doubts about Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' intentions toward Israel.
"Given the actions and words of Palestinian leaders, we have doubts in Israel that they are committed to peace," he said.
Citing a laundry list of criticisms, Netanyahu said Abbas failed to condemn recent terror attacks against Israeli citizens, at least one of which involved an officer from the Palestinian security forces.
"A few days ago in Ramallah, President Abbas embraced terrorists as heroes," Netanyahu said. "How can he say that he stands against terrorism when he embraces the perpetrators of terrorism and glorifies them as heroes? He can't stand against terrorists and stand with the terrorists."
Those statements send the wrong message to young Palestinians at a critical time, Netanyahu said.
"Instead of preparing people for peace, Palestinian leaders are teaching them to hate Israel," he said, speaking before Kerry. "This is not the way to achieve peace. President Abbas must lead his people away from terror and incitement, towards reconciliation and peace."
Kerry, acknowledging the distrust, said he "comes here with no illusions" and added that the two sides would have to make difficult choices over the next few weeks.
"We know what the issues are. We know the parameters and possibilities for peace," he said. "The time is soon arriving when leaders will have to make tough decisions. In the weeks ahead both sides will have to make tough choices."
During separate meetings with Netanyahu and Abbas over the next three days, Kerry said he would discuss "all the core issues" with each leader, including borders, security, refugees, mutual recognition and legal claims.
He said he hoped to build on the 20 rounds of talks he has helped facilitate over the last five months and stressed that the negotiations would reflect Israeli and Palestinian priorities, not those of the United States.
"My role is not to impose U.S. ideas but to facilitate the ideas of both parties," he said. "We are five months into the peace talks. It's a long process but it is not mission impossible."
Kerry also praised Netanyahu for following through with his promise to release Palestinian prisoners jailed before the Oslo Accords, despite intense internal pressure from Israelis. He then thanked Abbas for remaining committed to resuming the negotiations, despite opposition from other Palestinian leaders.
U.S. and Israeli officials say they don't expect any breakthroughs during this visit. Continuing his shuttle diplomacy, Kerry plans to return to the region in just one week for further talks.

I've never denied that anyone can use the PUA for what they want. If you
read my post more carefully in entirety, you'll see that I said:
Of course, all of these clash with each other, CSUR, Microsoft's
"Symbol", etc in whole or part. I don't see why there's any particular
reason why anyone should really care about clashes.
If someone wants to use the PUA, there's no need to check CSUR or any
other source for "clashes".
As well as:
Various groups such as academics, input projects, newspapers, etc use
these ranges; perhaps the most prominent is HKSCS (and its predecessor
GCCS), which had been placed in CP950's user-defined zones, and thus has
a mapping to the PUA exists (and .tte fonts are created by using PUA
codepoints in the cmap). If you chose other ranges, you might clash
with CP932 or CP949's. Similar ranges are used on the Macintosh as
well. (I don't know about other platforms.)
If you want examples of these characters (and in some cases, publically
available .tte fonts), there's:

concerned about clashes--e.g., many people will avoid using U+F000 ..
U+F0FF because Microsoft Symbol (which itself has multiple variants) and
others already use those codepoints on a widespread scale.

A Belgian king needs a lot of wisdom
King Filip will need a lot of wisdom to fulfil his task in this small country, of which the complicity is inversely proportional to its size.
This was said by the Belgian Arch Bishop André-Joseph Léonard during his Te Deum address on King's Day. Every year, Belgium celebrates its royal family on 15 November.
King's Day traditionally includes a Te Deum mass, during which people prey for the royal family. The celebration takes place in the Saint Michael and Saint Goedele cathedral in central Brussels and is never attended by the ruling king and queen.
The succession to the throne on 21 July this year meant that the retired King Albert and his wife Queen Paola attended the mass again for the first time in 20 years, while King Filip and Queen Mathilde were absent. In his address, the Arch Bishop had good words for Queen Mathilde. "The Book of Wisdom represented wisdom as a female character, brilliant and kind. Couldn't this be a reflection of our queen's attentive smile?"
Léonard also talked about the role that King Filip will play, claiming the king is facing a very complicated task in a country divided by different regions (Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia) and language communities (Dutch, French and German).
King Albert and Queen Paola were welcomed by some 100 fans outside the cathedral, which gave them great pleasure.

OKI Data Americas announces receipt of the 2014 Channel's Choice award for Outstanding Performance as a Secondary Product Line Provider from the Business Technology Association (BTA). The award was presented earlier this month at the BTA Mid-America 2014 District Event in Chicago, IL.
The awards were determined by online ballots cast by BTA dealer members and dealers outside the organization's membership. The ballot, in part, asked dealers to rate their hardware vendors in key performance categories; balloting results determined the Channel's Choice award winners.
"OKI Data Americas is honored to receive the 2014 Channel's Choice award," said Jackie Paralis, Senior Marketing Manager of BTA/MPS for OKI Data Americas. "This award recognizes OKI Data's channel-centric business model, and underscores our continued commitment to BTA dealer success."

This provides BTA dealers with greater opportunity to satisfy customers' business printing needs from the desktop to large workgroup, and from the front office to the warehouse.
"Since 1989, BTA's annual Channel's Choice awards program has provided dealers with a means of recognizing and honoring those vendors that are the most supportive of the dealer channel," said Todd J. Fitzsimons, BTA President. "The Business Technology Association congratulates our 2014 Channel's Choice award winners and expresses our sincere thanks for their exceptional support of the BTA Channel."
All OKI products are built on parent company OKI Data Corporation's history of leadership and innovation.

Bradshaw to Roethlisberger: Fight temptation
Published: April 13th, 2010 | Tags: Ben Roethlisberger, Burt Reynolds, Mel Tillis, Pittsburgh Steelers, Terry Bradshaw
Terry Bradshaw wants to give some tough love to embattled Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger.
Bradshaw knows the temptation of being an NFL quarterback. A Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Pittsburgh, at that. Bradshaw spent his offseasons getting into bar-room brawls with Burt Reynolds, and drinking beers while participating in road races with Mel Tillis. Of course, those were movie roles in highly acclaimed films Hooper and The Cannonball Run.
In other words, Bradshaw's troubles were make believe. Roethlisberger's are all too real.
The Hall of Fame QB spoke out about Roethlisberger at the annual Terry Bradshaw-Kix Brooks Golf Tournament, hosted by Louisiana Tech athletics (video via KTBS), handing out some advice that his daddy gave to him. Namely, stop embarrassing yourself and quit going to the clubs because of the microscope.
"I hardly ever went in a club — ever — in 14 years in Pittsburghm" Bradshaw said. "Count 'em on one hand. I was petrified of the problems you can get into. And I almost got into — it's there, believe me.
"There's nothing greater if you're single than to walk into a bar with beautiful women and have them just fill your ego up. And you ask yourself, 'Would they pay any attention to you if you weren't, you know, who you are?' Of course not. Because I'm not that attractive, and neither is Ben. […]
"He's got an image problem right now. Best thing to do is don't ever put yourself in that position again. When you're through playing football, do whatever you want to do, but right now, stay clean. Stay out of trouble. Stay out of bars. Keep yourself clean."
Bradshaw, however, doesn't believe Roethlisberger will listen to him because the two Steelers legends don't have a good relationship. Bradshaw tried to reach out to Roethlisberger earlier in his career and was rebuffed.
"When I told him to park the motorcycle, he got pissed," Bradshaw said. "Then he had that accident. Since then, he doesn't like me, and I am learning not to like him."
The problem, Bradshaw said, is that perception shapes reality, pointing out how much grief Cowboys QB Tony Romo received when he took a playoff trip to Mexico the week before a playoff loss to the Giants in 2008. Bradshaw says that after being accused of a crime in one instance, he would avoid being in that situation again.
"That is the perception, right or wrong," Bradshaw said. "The only way to clean that up is to stay out of it. Fight the temptation and stay out of those places.
"Once would scare me to death. Twice. I don't know how you would sleep. I couldn't handle that."
And of his relationship with Roethlisberger?
"Now he (Roethlisberger) hates me forever," Bradshaw said.

On the heels of the historic flooding in northeast Minnesota we will find ourselves knee- deep in heat by the middle of the week. Enjoy this delightful summer day as the temperatures steadily climb to a peak in the lower and middle 90s on Wednesday afternoon.
4PM CDT temperatures on Wednesday. Still time to reserve a spot IN your favorite lake.

Significant rainfall is not seen for Minnesota this week but the chance for showers increases over the weekend.
Last week I visited with Steve Buan of NOAA's North Central River Forecast Center. We chatted about the disastrous rainfall in Duluth. We recalled the flash flood events of recent years, including southeast Minnesota, northern Iowa and southern WIsconsin in June 2008 — which included Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Zumbro River and Lake Delton, Wisconsin. Read more about the June 2008 flooding here.
Nashville, Tenn. was devastated by a two-day flash flood event in May 2010. The details on this heavy rainfall event can be probed from this link.

Our hydrologic banter concluded with the question, "What city will be next to experience flooding rains?" A flood expert with the NWS in Indianapolis shared two observations with me in the 1980s: A drought is often broken by a flood and a rainfall of six inches or more occurs somewhere in Indiana every summer.
Tropical Storm Debby remains off the coast of the Florida panhandle. Computer models suggest the storm's circulation will not strengthen into a hurricane. Forecasters are keeping an eye on the potential rainfall in the southeast portion of the country. At 5 a. m. EDT the winds in Pensacola, FL were from the north at 13 mph.
Find a cool spot early on Wednesday.

Norfolk, Virginia - A federal judge was set to hear arguments Tuesday on whether Virginia's ban on gay marriage should be struck down, a move that would give same-sex marriage its first foothold in the American South.
Virginia's newly elected Democratic governor and attorney general have endorsed the move, angering many Republican lawmakers.
Seventeen states and the Washington capital district allow gay marriage. Most are clustered in the Northeast; none are in the traditionally conservative Southeast. Nationwide, more than a dozen states have federal lawsuits challenging state bans on same-sex marriage.
Opponents of Virginia's ban hope it will meet the same fate as the Clinton-era federal Defense of Marriage Act, which stated that the federal government only recognized heterosexual marriages. The Obama administration refused to defend it, and the US Supreme Court in a landmark ruling invalidated it last year.
The court also struck down a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage in California on procedural grounds.
Since then, four more states - New Jersey, Hawaii, Illinois and New Mexico - have legalized same-sex marriage.
Now gay marriage advocates are challenging bans in traditionally conservative states like Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia.
In January, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring's office notified a federal court that it would not defend the 2006
voter-approved constitutional amendment in a lawsuit. Republicans have accused Herring of abandoning his responsibility to defend the state's laws and a handful of protesters gathered at the federal courthouse Tuesday morning shouted phrases decrying his position and carried signs such as "Herring's herring. AG's must uphold the law."
Across the street, about just as many gay-marriage supporters shouted their support for the plaintiffs in the case and carried signs saying "Marry who you love."
Newly elected Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe has rebuffed calls to appoint outside counsel to defend the ban.
On Monday, Republicans in Virginia House of Delegates passed a bill that would support lawmakers in lawsuits where the attorney general and governor have chosen not to participate.
The lawsuit challenging the ban was filed on behalf of Norfolk couple Timothy Bostic and Tony London, who were denied a marriage license by the Norfolk Circuit Court on July 1. The lawsuit says the state's law denies them liberties that are guaranteed by the Constitution. Since then, Chesterfield County couple Carol Schall and Mary Townley have joined the case. The couple were married in California in 2008 and have a teenage daughter. They want Virginia to recognize their marriage.
The attorneys representing the plaintiffs on behalf of the American Foundation for Equal rights are the same ones that successfully challenged California's ban on gay marriage in court there.
After Herring's office decided not to defend the law, US District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen considered not even hearing verbal arguments in the case because of the "compelling" filing by the attorney general's office. Wright Allen is a former public defender and assistant US attorney who was appointed to the post by President Barack Obama.
The lawsuit was filed shortly after the US Supreme Court struck down the section of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that prevented gay couples from receiving a range of federal benefits that are generally available to married people.
Herring's announcement last month came on the heels of court rulings in which federal judges struck down gay-marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma.

Most gun dog breeders will start training a pup before it is sold or picked up by the client. Tossing bird wings and letting them play with them, but not tear them up is good for them.
At this age every thing needs to be positive. Get him/her a duck wing and a small bumper. Ziptie the wing to the bumper and throw it a few feet out. You should have your dog on a rope so you can real him/her in. Give them lots of praise and petting when you pull them back to you. It wont take long to get them going. Go slow and keep it fun and short, 10-15 minutes max.
I like to start obedience training at this age with a bag of the carry out treats, most dogs will do any thing for a treat. I break the treats up so they are just bite size and I can get a lot of millage out of one treat. I use it to teach sit and shake and here. A mistake that some people make is they call the dog to them and then punish them, never never to that. Always reward the dog for coming to you even if it is just a pat on the head.
The other training tool that I really like is a leash. All my pups start out on a leash that way I have a way to give an instant correction. Dogs have very short attention spans so instant correction is vital when training.
DO NOT BUY AN E-COLLAR UNTIL YOU GET SOME TRAINING ON HOW TO USE IT FROM A GOOD TRAINER. E-collars are a great and necessary tool when used correctly.
If you want more advice shoot me a PM and we can talk.

Lady Eagles beat Greybull 52-30
SHERIDAN — The Tongue River High School Lady Eagles played all nine girls Friday night against Greybull and came out with the win 52-30.
The Lady Eagles are at 19-2 overall.
"We had a comfortable lead at halftime, 27-10, and played all nine girls tonight. We got everybody in the game," head Coach Diane Moser said.
Tara Stimpson hit three 3-pointers and scored the high of 15 points in the game. Erin Aksamit shot for 14, and Sarah Rawlins and Amanda Buller each sank the ball for nine.
"We had balanced scoring. We outscored them in the third, 12-6," Moser said. The Lady Eagles will play their final game of the regular season today at home against Sundance. Junior varsity play at 1 p.m., and varsity girls play at 2:30 p.m. The boys team will play at 4 p.m. at Tongue River High School.
"Regionals are in Cheyenne next week. We're just fine tuning and ending our season on a good note tomorrow," Moser said.
TRHS Eagles fall to Greybull 72-39
SHERIDAN — TRHS boys basketball lost to the No. 3 ranked Greybull Buffaloes Friday 72-39.
Head Coach Robert Griffin said he had his team play it safe so that they would be ready to face Sundance at home today.
"We played our starter minutes short for a variety of guys because we have a bigger game tomorrow, but they probably would have gotten us anyway," Griffin said.
Wyatt Schumacher, Chase Linhart and Lane Dockery each shot seven points in the game.
Today, the Eagles will face Sundance on their home court in Dayton at 4 p.m.
"They're a big and physical team, so we want to try to keep up with them, but it will be a hard match for us," Griffin said.

The Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Echols, president of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago announced that Lilly Endowment Inc. has awarded $1.67 million to inaugurate the seminary's Serving Christ in the World program. The goal of the program is to deepen the faith lives of high school students and excite in them the calling to ministry. The grant, the largest single gift ever awarded the seminary, will sustain the program over the next four years.
"At a time when the church is facing a shortage of ordained and lay leaders and its seminaries are producing less than half as many graduates as needed, this program provides an opportunity to reach younger, pre-college students," said Dr. Echols. To be inaugurated in the summer of 2003, "the program is integral to the seminary's ability to pursue its mission by nurturing the call to ministry and preparing future generations of church leaders," he said.
Serving 30 to 40 high school youth annually, the three-week residential program will help students explore what it means to live boldly as Christians in today's church and society. Using Chicago and Mexico City, Mexico, as vital, urban learning laboratories, participants will deepen their spiritual formation through daily worship, peer ministry training, and small group discussions. The small group discussions provide a safe place to form relationships of trust and friendship from which honest and diverse opinions may be expressed and theological inquiry engaged. Through "Mini School of Theology" classes, participants will be introduced to theological education and given a common theological vocabulary.
In the middle week of the program, students will travel to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Lutheran Center in Mexico City and return to Chicago for the last week. The international component will enable students to experience Mexican Christianity and culture and challenge them to consider issues of pluralism, race, gender and poverty through the lens of their values and faith. In Mexico, students will participate in daily worship, lectures, cultural and educational excursions, and small group discussions. Classes will be led by Mexican theologians, ecologists, doctors, economists and community leaders. Currently being sought, the program director will work with the seminary's partner synods, youth pastors and other key youth leaders in congregations and synods to identify and nurture high school students for selection into the program.
The grant was the result of an invitation by the Indianapolis-based Endowment asking seminaries and divinity schools to create new programs that engage young people in theological learning and encourage them to explore Christian ministry as their life's work. By funding these programs the Endowment wants to attract a new generation of talented people to ministry and to help build vibrant and healthy congregations throughout the country.
In 2002 the Endowment's "Theological Programs for High School Youth" grant program awarded $25.3 million to graduate schools in the U.S. and Canada, including all the seminaries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

This paper presents the history of the performance of the anchor plates in the sand in many experimental works. It is based on different previous researches, from the earliest till the most recent ones. The main role of this last experimental research presented below, is focused on the prediction of the anchor's behavior and the force in the sand. Although there are not entirely sufficient substitutes for a full-scale field testing, tests performed in laboratories have the advantage of allowing a close control of at least some of the parameters encountered in the research. This paper discusses on the field studies regarding the horizontal anchor plates, reported by Balla(1961), Hanna & Carr(1971) ,Hanna(1971),Das & Seeley(1975),Andreadis et al.(1981),Ovsen(1981),Murray & Geddes(1987),Fryman & Shamam(1989),Dickin(1988),Tagaya et al. (1988),Murray & Geddes (1989),Sarac(1989),Bouazza & Finlay(1990),Dickin(1994),Sakai & Tanaka(1998),Pearce(2000), Fargic and Marovic (2003), Dickin & Lama(2007), Kumar and Bhoi (2008) The results derived from the tests that are performed at the laboratory are typically a specific problem and they are difficult to extend, and to develop to field problems due to the different material or the geometric parameters used in the field scale.

Germany dominates at Poland's Strzegom Horse Trials
Germany's 2012 Olympic "golden trio" cruised to an easy victory in the fourth leg of eventing's FEI Nations Cup series in Strzegom, Poland, at the weekend.
The winning team included three of the world's best combinations, Michael Jung, who won three competitions at the Polish venue, Dirk Schrade and Sandra Auffarth. Jung had his Olympic, World and European (2011) champion La Biosthetique Sam back at his very best to lead from the outset.
Sandra Auffarth's Opgun Louvo, European team gold and individual silver medalist in 2011 and Olympic team gold medallist in 2012, is also back from a spell on the sidelines and finished second, and Dirk Schrade was third on his 2013 European team gold medalist, the delightful chestnut Hop And Skip.
The Germans, who won the inaugural FEI Nations Cup in 2012 and were second last year, missed the first two legs of this season but are now back in winning mode and are third on the leaderboard.
"We certainly had the 'A team' out and it's great that they went so well," team manager Christopher Bartle said. "It's lovely to have Sam and Louvo back and we're keeping our fingers crossed that they all stay in good form."
Great Britain, the only nation to have fielded a team at each leg so far this season, made the long journey to Strzegom, where they finished second of six teams, a result good enough to take them to the top of the leaderboard, nine points ahead of France.
Britain's chef d'equipe Philip Surl has a deliberate policy of drawing from a pool of young riders who have not been on senior championship squads. Sarah Bullimore on Valentino V, Ros Canter (Zenshera) and newcomer Katy Hurst (Weston lV) put up solid performances to finish fourth, fifth and eighth respectively.
"The team posted excellent results all round with really solid performances from everyone. It definitely ranks up there as one of our best Nations Cup performances to date against a very strong German team overall," Surl said.
The best of the Brits, and in the CICO competition overall, was Sarah Bullimore riding Valentino V, who finished in fourth place after the German trio. Nations Cup regular Ros Canter and her own Dutch-bred 10 year old gelding Zenshera (by Guidam) also put in an incredible effort to finish in fifth place, adding just three penalties in the cross country phase to their dressage test mark of 45, as well as jumping clear. Katy Hurst, who got her first taste of European Championships riding for Britain in the 2013 Two Star European Championships with her own and Lee McCarthy's Dutch-bred 11 year old Gelding Weston IV (by Norway) made their Nations Cup debut, finishing in seventh place.
The Netherlands' in-form Elaine Pen was sixth on Under Cover and led her team to third place, despite the loss of Tim Lips who withdrew Concrete Oncarlos when in 10th place after dressage.
Denmark and Italy swapped places after cross country, with the Danes moving ahead into fourth. The home side, Poland, had the misfortune to have two horse falls, both at the third fence.
Twenty-five of the 31 cross country starters completed German designer Rudiger Schwarz's track, with 14 clear rounds, only three of which were within the optimum time of six minutes 44 seconds: Dirk Schrade plus two Dutch team members, Elaine Pen and Theo Van de Vendel on Zendane.
Germany's Julia Krajewski, who was second after dressage on London-Return OLD, became her team's discard score after two refusals at fence 21.
All the top five riders, plus Katy Hurst, went clear in the final jumping test.
The next leg of the FEI Nations Cup, at Aachen (GER), marks the halfway stage of the series and it's expected that the competition will hot up as teams gear up for August's Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2014 in Normandy. The Germans, for whom Aachen is a final team trial, will be going all out for a strong showing in front of their home crowd. Britain has also selected several of its WEG squad members for this test.
• Michael Jung also won the CIC2* on fisherTakinou, and was second with Leopin FST. Jung's Der Dante also won the short format CIC1*, with Sandra Auffarth and Thalia l'Amaurial. Auffarth's Limetid Edition was also ninth.
Dirk Schrade took out the top two placings in the long format CIC1*, winning with Carlevo and placing second with Mr Tomtom. He also rode Boleybawn Prince into fifth place.
• British rider Nicky Roncoroni, who had finished individually in the Nations Cup event in 16th place with the Irish-bred Watts Burn, rode Stonedge to win the CCI3*, which went down to the wire in the final showjumping phase.
Roncoroni jumped a clear round on 10-year-gelding Irish bred gelding Stonedge to finish on 63.60 penalties. Only three other riders also managed a clear round. Second placegetter was Fioravan Stefano from Italy riding Nodin c'Orval, who finished with 11 penalties.
Joy and tears of happiness came from third placed of Poland's Marta Gierlicz-Dziak on Vacate JP, her final result was 71.60 penalties. Her Strzegom result guaranteed her qualifications for Marta Dziak-Gierlicz to this year's World Cup.

Children as young as eight performed in St James's school hall last Wednesday.
The concert included a mixture of ensemble and solo pieces sung by students from the Strawberry Hill Catholic Primary School.
The grand finale came from the cast of the sold-out production of the Rocky Monster Show to be staged by children from year 6.
Singing is strongly encouraged at St James's with the school promoting a strong music curriculum.
St James's School Symphony Orchestra also performs in the Discovery Series with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican.

A report released last week by the New York Civil Liberties Union highlights the faults and gaps of the sexual education curriculum of 82 New York public school districts.
The NYCLU, a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization, claims that certain sexual education programs in New York state present incorrect medical information to students.
The report, titled "Birds, Bees and Bias: How Absent Sex Ed Standards Fail New York's Students," states that although 93 percent of school districts provided information on HIV and AIDS, as stipulated by a 1987 New York state law, only 56 percent of the information was complete and scientifically accurate.
This disparity, according to the assistant advocacy director of the NYCLU, Johanna Miller, resulted from a lack of state-established standards for sexual education.
"All the things you see in the report, no matter how offensive, or how medically inaccurate, are permissible under New York state law," Miller said. "Districts are using things that are no longer accurate on HIV, or they are using materials that they pulled together from the Internet, because no one is telling them not to."
The report also acknowledges the problem of school districts using value-laden materials when teaching controversial topics.
About 35 percent of districts were found to use textbooks with anti-abortion biases, and several referred to fetuses and embryos as babies.
Although many advocates would assert that medical information should be presented without a moral slant, according to Steinhardt professor of History and Education John Zimmerman, it can be difficult to separate values from sexual education.
"There is no such thing as a value free statement about sex," Zimmerman said. "I think it's inevitable that on a subject as contested and as controversial as sex there would be enormous variation among districts."
The NYCLU recommends the state decree a comprehensive sexual education program, one that teaches abstinence but also pregnancy and STD prevention methods such as condoms.
A major complaint in the report is that even though 80 percent of schools address condom use in their curricula, only one in three school districts actually demonstrates their proper use.
This resonates with former New York state public school student and CAS sophomore Tamara Mizhquiri, who graduated from Wappingers Central School District.
"They didn't actually show us how to use a condom, they just told us about it," Mizhquiri said.
Mizhquiri said LGBTQ and sexual identity issues were not covered in her sexual education class, which the report claims as a fault of many heterocentric curricula.
In a statement responding to the NYCLU's report, the chief of External Affairs at the New York State Education Department, Dennis Tompkins, said the department would examine the report. He stressed the importance of an up-to-date sexual education program.
"We'll carefully review the report and its recommendations," Tompkins said. "Our goal is to make sure students get accurate, sound health information."

Hello all,
I wanted to ask what the best practices for Version control and for a good deployment workflow are. I'm currently developing a website, where I don't really need the CMS part.
Currently, I'm putting the following directories and files under version control:
- mysite directory
- themes directory with my custom theme only
- composer.json
- composer.lock
Should I put other files under version control? Please consider that I'm trying to put only those files under version control that cannot be retrieved via composer and that are specific to my website.
I then develop using the following flow:
1) Create a silverstripe project using composer.
2) Execute the installation
3) Develop on my dev machine.
4) Code will be pushed via git to a git repository (beanstalkapp.com in my case).
5) Code will be deployed to the test web server.
Step 5 is what confuses me. Ideally, my goal would be to completely remove the old deployed version and redeploy everything. So step 5 would be split up in:
1) Create backup of old working version
2) Create silverstripe project with composer. Not sure if this step is really needed, since I have composer.json and composer.lock version controlled and I could just run "composer install/update" later.
3) Execute the web installation. Since I don't use the CMS, is the web installation anyway required?
4) Copy over the files from Beanstalk
5) Copy over _ss_environment.php from old working directory to have the correct settings.
6) Execute "composer install" (or is a "composer update" enough?) to get all required dependencies.
7) Execute make and run some tests that confirm that everything is fine.
Please let me know what you think of the explained workflow. I would really appreciate some feedback.


text: We wanted large bedroom for a comfortable king size bed (right now we have a full size and it is too small), but settled for an apartment with a smaller bedroom because this has a balcony facing a park which starts a foot away from our apartment. Out bed room (rectangle) dimensions are length 16ft 8in, width 10ft 2 inches. Unfortunately Air conditioner is fitted on the 16ft wall so the bed has to go on the opposite side. On the opposite side, the wall size is 9ft 9 inches as on either side of this shorter wall we have the corridor and the bathroom door. Will a king size bed be too large for this room? We have only a dresser in this room (size 61" X 21")- no other furniture, other than the bed. Thanks AR
