Destiny Garza is first women's recruit
SAGU Cross Country team begins to materialize
Coach Jason Covarrubias seeks experienced runners
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- In the perfect sport to hit the ground running, Southwestern Assemblies of God University's Jason Covarrubias, the Head Coach of both the Men's and Women's Cross Country teams, quickly signed three incoming members for the men's squad.
The newest sport in SAGU's expanding athletic community, has now signed their first-ever member to the Lady Lions team.
Coach Covarrubias is pleased to announce that Destiny Garza, a graduate of Houston's MacArthur High School, where she was named the MVP for the Generals team last fall. She was previously named the Generals' captain.
MacArthur is located in East Aldine (pop. about 10,000), which is just north of Houston.
MacArthur won their Class 5A district championship and also advanced to qualify for the Region 3 meet. The team prepared for tough competition by participating in the Midwest Invitational in Wisconsin.
While competing for Head Coach Kelly Silha and Assistant Coach Xang Chareunsab, Garza turned in impressive bests in three distance runs.
She did a 20:26 in the 5K, a 5:41 in the Mile and a solid 12:38 in the Two Mile.
"Destiny Garza is the first women's Cross Country signing in our developing history," said Coach Covarrubias. "We are thrilled to have Destiny on our team."
"She brings plenty of leadership and experience," he added. "That will prove beneficial to our young squad."
"Her high school coaches couldn't speak an ill word against Destiny. One stated that, "You better be ready for early mornings because she has been the first one to school, ready to run at 5:30am." She did that for four years and often beat the coaches to practice! She will keep me on my toes!"
Garza chose SAGU over Our Lady of the Lake University (San Antonio), who finished second last year in the Red River Athletic Conference.
The Lady Lions all-terrain runners will vie against 10 other teams in the Sooner Athletic Conference this fall.
"We expect to see some amazing things from this young lady (Garza) in the years to come," Covarrubias (KO-vah-ROO-bee-us) said. "Destiny's dedication and love towards the sport will help propel us towards the top of the Sooner Conference!"
She was born in Houston to parents Robert Garza and mother Melody Dominguez. Her family includes siblings Deseray (21) and Leslie (19).
Destiny may be undecided about her major, but counts her faith as important and unwavering. Regular church attendance is a value.
SAGU is scheduled to race in four events this fall; two in September and two in October. The Lady Lions are entered in the Sooner Conference meet in Shawnee, Oklahoma in November.
Should they advance beyond the SAC tournament, they have two national venues as destinations.
Covarrubias is at work seeking to build the 2013 team roster.
Contact: Mark "Link" Warde, SAGU Sports Information Director, at email@example.com or at 469-658-2847.

A really weird route. It would have been better to arrange it such that the protection followed the natural climbing (11a or so). The bolts are way, way out to the right, so you end up climbing up to the left, then trying to climb back to the right to clip, etc. The last bolt is really hard to clip. There are several spots on the route where the location of the bolts versus natural climbing results in the rope running over sharp edges, etc.
Also, several of the bolts are located such that the biners get mangled over edges/knobs/etc., and it tries to open the gates. I used a couple granny draws to mitigate this.
The anchors are way to the right, so it isn't really possible to lower and retrieve draws. You have to TR it. I found the rope versus edge problems even worse on TR.
The 2 12a's to the right are fun, but I would skip this one. I would give this one a bomb, but if it was retro'd, it could be a good route.

Nothing really new here, but interesting nonetheless.
Not sure I would want to write my server logic in node.js, but overall a decent article on multiplayer in general. It would have been nice to include a link to RFC 6455 so that people can learn how to implement the websocket protocol (fairly easy) for their own mini websocket server, or reference existing native libraries like libwebsockets to get the job done quicker.

1 - 1 1/2 lbs beef round steak
1 lb button mushrooms (sliced or quartered)
1 medium onion peeled, halved, and thick-sliced
3/4 cup beef broth
3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp sesame oil
2-3 cups broccoli florets
3 Tbsp corn starch
5 Tbsp water
Cube the beef into 1-inch pieces.
Combine the beef, mushrooms, broth, teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, and sesame oil in a crock pot. Cook on low for 8 - 9 hours
Note: Mine is an older crock pot and cooks at a lower temperature.
About 30 minutes before ready to serve, mix together the corn starch and water to make a slurry.
Mix the slurry and broccoli into the beef mixture, cover and continue to cook for another 30 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce has thickened.
Server over rice.
Note: The amounts of beef/onion/broccoli are approximate. If you use more or less you may need to adjust the amount of broth or corn starch to make the slurry.

Are the paragraphs going to be unique to each post? If so I would pull the text from a custom field. Or if you are using a slideshow with shortcode then you could add the text right after the shortcode and float it.

Anglers all talk of the big one that got away. The AquAdvantage salmon has not exactly gotten away, but it isn't in the pan either. This week's National Institute of Animal Agriculture (NIAA) annual conference in Omaha focuses on the "Precautionary Principle," and a presentation from Ronald Stotish, PhD, executive director of AquaBounty Technologies, provided a case study of how a bias toward caution can prevent implementation of food technologies that could help feed the world.
Nineteen years ago, Aqua Bounties Technologies introduced the AquAdvantage salmon, a genetically modified variety of Atlantic Salmon with a single gene from a Chinook salmon spliced into its genome and accounting for a total of about one ten-thousandth of its DNA. This fish grows dramatically faster than other Atlantic salmon, reaching market size in half the time with 20 percent better feed efficiency and 5 percent better nitrogen retention. Because of its superior performance, it can be grown in tanks rather than in ocean pens.
The federal government, of course, has a process for reviewing and approving genetically modified plants and animals. The Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology, finalized in 1986, specified that genetically engineered organisms would continue to be regulated according to their characteristics and unique features, and not according to their method of production.
Studies on fourteen generations of the AquAdvantage salmon led to the FDA in 2010 determining the fish is an Atlantic salmon, as safe to consume as food as any other Atlantic salmon and that it represents no significant risk to the environment under conditions of use in application an approval. Those conditions for use in the application include growing the fish only in FDA-approved physically contained fresh-water culture facility and maintaining a population of only female fish for food production, to avoid any crossbreeding with wild populations.
From the beginning though, environmental groups and other interests, including the Alaskan wild-caught Pacific salmon industry, opposed and lobbied heavily against approval of the AquAdvantage salmon, citing concerns over food safety, crossbreeding and environmental damage.
Stotish points out that wild populations of Atlantic salmon are severely depleted, and in fact the species is listed as endangered in Maine. There is almost no commercial fishery for the species. Virtually all the Atlantic salmon on the market come from aquaculture facilities and the United States imports large quantities from several countries.
Nevertheless, the AquAdvantage salmon remains unapproved after 19 years in regulatory review, three years since the FDA disclosed its findings showing no food-safety or environmental risk, two years since FDA published an environmental assessment, one year since the close of a public comment period and more than $70 million invested toward approval.
Regarding the opposition to biotechnology, Stotish says "the precautionary principle has become the weapon of choice to prevent innovation."

Chewie is figure perfetction. I love that freaky looking thing. Vader is just too conservative, and they didin't stick close enough to the painting. In the art, Vader looks graceful and streamlined, but the figure looks bulky and complicated. What stands out most is that Vader doesn't have the ribbing on his suit in the painting. It really ruins the figure.
Anyone who doesn't buy McBacca is funding terrorism.That's figure perfection to me... The highlight of the show actually for me, in terms of a single figure. I love it. He'll fit into random scenes perfectly because he's such a freak.

"We're pleased to reach this important milestone so new base facilities can be built at no added cost to taxpayers," said Joseph F. Calcara, deputy assistant secretary of the Army.
The Army chose SunCal through a competitive selection process that began when more than 150 investors, contractors, developers and other interested parties attended an "industry day" to launch the Army's search. SunCal's proposal was considered the best overall value for the Army.
The agreement allows the base to gain much-needed new facilities with no impact to the federal budget through the utilization of land.
Camp Parks will gain a new main gate and a 4,300-square-foot administrative building for base police. This will be followed by a 33,000-square-foot area maintenance support facility; a 33,000-square-foot regional medical training facility; a 42,000-square-foot Army Reserve training facility; a 40,000-square-foot public works/logistics warehouse; and a variety of road and utilities infrastructure construction and improvements.
On the 180 acres it receives, SunCal will develop Dublin Crossing, a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use community that will connect the east and west sides of town currently separated by Camp Parks. Planned as a community centerpiece, Dublin Crossing will be a transit-oriented development within walking distance of a BART station. This will include 1,500 new homes, parks and several hundred thousand square feet of retail, office, hotel and industrial uses.
"This exchange represents the type of innovative public-private partnerships that will enable us to maintain top-rate facilities for our Reserve Forces for many decades to come," said Calcara.
David Soyka, senior vice president of Public Affairs for SunCal, noted that Dublin Crossing will be designed to serve Dublin's ongoing growth needs with residents able to walk to BART and leave their cars at home.
"This brings the vision of Dublin Crossing a step closer to reality," Dublin Mayor Tim Sbranti said. "We're excited to continue working with SunCal as we partner to bring new jobs, shops, restaurants and homes, plus parks and trails, to Dublin. This new neighborhood is a significant part of our city's future. "
SunCal is the largest privately held land developer in the U.S. The company acquires, entitles and develops major residential properties and commercial developments throughout the U.S.

Scientists Successfully Generate Electricity From Human Urine
Don't pay your National Grid bill, just pee away all your money instead… literally. Scientists have successfully been able to generate electricity from human urine. Yup, you read that right… your urine can create power.
So how in the world can your urine create electricity? Should you plug your phone charger into the urinal now? How does it work? According to PC Tech Mag here's what they found:
Scientists found that live bacteria breaking down urine creates electricity in the process. As an electrolyte, the natural pH within urine makes it a viable fuel. Researchers speculate that 'smart toilets' could make this experiment practical in just a few years."
I wonder if this electric bill would smell a tad bit…At least it's environmentally friendly.

Being banned from a hospital was a new one on me. What could possibly prompt that?
Well, at Denton Regional Medical Center, it seems that an overdose of compassion will do the trick.
Haven Hendrik is a 16-year-old student in the health-science program at Denton's Guyer High School. She hopes to be a pediatric nurse one day.
But her studies have been stymied because she is no longer allowed to join fellow students in rotations at the Denton hospital.
Her crime? Violating privacy policy by trying to help a homeless patient.
"All my daughter wanted to do was help," said mom Shelley Hendrik. "Now they're punishing her for being compassionate."
Earlier this semester, Haven was observing nurses and medical technicians on the hospital's fifth floor. In one room, a tech said to Haven: "I feel so bad for this lady. She's a patient of ours, and she's homeless. She's so sweet."
The tech explained that the woman would be discharged because she had no insurance but that she really needed gallbladder surgery. The tech said she just hoped the woman made it back to the hospital in time when emergency surgery would have to be done.
"I felt very, very upset," Haven said. "I called my mom later that day and said, 'I don't know what I should do. Can we help this woman somehow? Can we take her to Parkland?'"
As a good mom, Shelley agreed to call the supervising nurse on the fifth floor to ask about helping the homeless woman. The nurse's response shocked her.
"She just literally went off on me," Shelley said. "She said, 'Your daughter cannot talk to you about stuff like that! Your daughter has broken HIPAA!'"
The nurse referred to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, a federal law setting privacy standards for patients.
The bigger surprise came the next week at school. As Haven was about to join other students for the bus ride to the hospital, a teacher pulled her aside. The hospital had called and said Haven wasn't welcome back because of the HIPAA violation.
If Shelley was a mad mama before, she was really incensed now.
She called the hospital, trying to make the case that her daughter hadn't given her a name or any details about the homeless woman. If anything, she thought Haven should be congratulated for her compassion.
But hospital officials stood firm. Shelley talked to various supervisors, one of whom said Haven might be in the wrong field if she couldn't separate compassion and professionalism.
Shelley then tried for weeks to contact Caleb O'Rear, chief executive of Denton Regional Medical Center, but her calls weren't returned. That's when she contacted me. And I had to agree that banishment seemed a huge overreaction.
As I suspected, it does appear that Haven violated privacy laws. Ross A. Leo is an expert on the subject. He has written a book on HIPAA and does training for Supremus Group. "I hate to say it, but the way she did it was indeed a technical violation," he said.
"She communicated enough information to her mother that the nurse knew immediately who she was talking about."
But as for banning Haven from the hospital, Leo said: "I think that part might be a little bit over the top. This could be used as a real teaching opportunity."
My thought exactly.
O'Rear, the hospital chief, returned my call but said it was only a courtesy, not to discuss the situation. Then he surprised me by adding: "We did not ban her. That was the school's decision."
So the school could send her back? Well, uh, no, he said, he wasn't saying that.
Now I was really confused. So the hospital didn't ban her — but neither would it allow her back?
"If the school had chosen to send her back, that would have given us pause and, yes, we most likely would not have allowed her back," O'Rear said.
Which sounds like a ban to me — and a hospital culture not ideally suited for teaching.
So Haven remains at school now, working on individual assignments while her classmates head off to the hospital once or twice a week.
She often wonders what became of the homeless woman. Her heart still goes out to her. I asked O'Rear about the woman, but he declined to comment.
HIPAA, I guess.

Maroubra goes from rough diamond to jewel of beachside suburbs
WHAT was once a working-class area populated by port workers, war veterans and colourful racing identities is now Sydney's best performing beachside suburb.
Over the past five years Maroubra has been in hot demand with house prices increasing by an average 5.3 per cent each year – outstripping the more prestigious suburbs of Coogee, Freshwater, Bondi and Dee Why.
The poor cousin has now become a desirable suburb in its own right and, according to a Maroubra local of three years, Adam Selinger, affordability is key. "Maroubra was the closest suburb to Bondi that we could afford," he said.
Mr Selinger and his wife Danielle purchased a three-bedroom semi in 2009 for $868,000. Even then it seems the couple were late to the party. The house they bought on Cobham Street had sold a year earlier for $210,000 less.
"When we bought it was only just affordable for us," Mr Selinger said.
"It was still a little bit more than we were hoping to pay but we certainly wouldn't be able to get in now."
Although a recent report by the Housing Industry Association and the Commonwealth Bank revealed that housing affordability in Sydney is the best it has been since the global financial crisis, that may no longer be the case for Maroubra.
The current median house price in Maroubra is $1,050,000, according to Australian Property Monitors, and Stephen McMorrow from real estate agent GoodyerDonnelley is expecting that figure to increase.
"[Maroubra] was playing catch-up for quite some time," he said. "While the harbour-side suburbs were softening, prices in Maroubra had actually been increasing."
Indeed, on the first auction day of summer punters were paying high prices for Maroubra pads.
Meanwhile, for apartments, the best-performing beachside suburb has been North Manly. After five years of growth averaging 9.3 per cent, the current median apartment price is now sitting at $530,000. This still makes it considerably more affordable than another strong performer, Bronte, which has a median price of $686,000.
The worst-performing suburb for houses over the period has been Tamarama, where the median figures often fluctuate depending on a few high-end sales.

Dog parks are a great way to allow your dog to socialize with other dogs. Letting your dog interact with other dogs under your supervision is very helpful in taming your dog's wariness towards other dogs that he may meet while walking. Allowing him to get used to meeting strange dogs in a setting that you control will alleviate his anxiety about meeting new dogs.
Always keep an eye on your dog at the dog park. Don't allow yourself to get distracted by chatting with other owners. By the time you realize what your dog is doing, it may already be too late to stop a fight from breaking out.
Keep a calm demeanor while introducing your dog to other dogs, even if you are nervous about what will happen. Your dog will naturally pick up on your calmness, helping to reduce his anxiety level. It can be stressful letting your dog interact with other dogs when you don't know if the other dog has aggression problems, or if you know or suspect your own dog tends to be aggressive towards other dogs. Showing tension via your body language will just cause your dog to be tense in kind. Keeping calm will help your dog understand that meeting new dogs can be a positive experience and that he doesn't have to be on his guard all the time.
Select a dog park that attracts courteous owners. If other owners don't pick up after their dogs, don't watch their dogs while they're at the park, or don't have well-behaved dogs, you should consider going to another dog park where the crowd is more conducive to socializing your dog. Neglectful owners are more likely to ignore the behavioral issues their dogs have, which will make going to that dog park more dangerous for your dog.
Go to the dog park at a time when it isn't especially crowded, especially when you are first taking your dog to the dog park. If there are too many dogs around or too many humans around, your dog may become overwhelmed by all the new sights and smells. Taking him at a time when there are less people and fewer dogs at the dog park will allow him to get more used to the idea of socializing with other dogs at a slower pace. Another bad sign is if there are many more dogs there than there are people, as this means that owners may be distracted and not able to carefully watch all of their dogs. This will lead to an increased chance of fights and other negative incidents for your dog.
If you think that a dog fight may be brewing, quickly distract your dog as much as possible. You may consider bringing a loud whistle in order to momentarily distract your dog so that you can get his attention and take it off the other dog. What sometimes seems like it could end in a fight to humans is perfectly fine for dogs, so you should take some care in deciding whether or not to break things up.Article provided by Crissi Perry of Oh My Dog Supplies, search for current discounts on dog fetch toys online.

Workers' Comp Overpayment
by Justice Paul E. Pfeifer
Here at the Supreme Court of Ohio we review numerous workers' compensation cases. The questions raised in these cases cover a wide range of issues, but one that we handled earlier this year was rather unique.
The case involved Donald F. McNea Jr., a police officer for the city of Parma. In 2004, McNea was awarded permanent total disability ("PTD") compensation for injuries that he claimed to have sustained in his capacity as a police officer. But when the PTD was granted, none of the parties involved knew that McNea was being secretly investigated by his own department for the suspected sale of prescription medications.
According to Parma police records, the department began an investigation after receiving a tip in 2003 that McNea was selling the drugs. Over the next two years, numerous conversations occurred between McNea and confidential informants in which McNea indicated that he could obtain OxyContin or similar drugs. Between October and December 2005, McNea made four recorded sales to informants, netting $6,200.
McNea was arrested on December 23, 2005, and was later indicted on 20 counts of criminal activity. He pled guilty to four felony charges and in September 2007, he was sentenced to three years in prison.
Two months later, the Bureau of Workers' Compensation filed a motion with the Industrial Commission of Ohio – which handles such matters – to terminate further PTD compensation and to declare past PTD overpaid as of August 25, 2004, when the payments began.
A staff hearing officer at the Commission reviewed the case and terminated benefits as of September 5, 2007 – the date of McNea's incarceration. But the hearing officer declined to declare any earlier benefits to be overpayment because there was "no proof that the injured worker was involved in sustained remunerative employment at the time" of the PTD hearing.
What was the hearing officer referring to in making that statement? In order to receive PTD, an injured worker must be so totally and permanently disabled that he is no longer medically able to work, or to "sustain remunerative employment." Someone who could sustain remunerative employment wouldn't be eligible for PTD.
The Bureau urged the Commission to grant reconsideration, claiming that the hearing officer had made clear mistakes of law and fact in finding no evidence of sustained remunerative employment during the time McNea was receiving PTD compensation. The Commission agreed and granted reconsideration.
It ultimately declared that all compensation paid after McNea's first confirmed drug sale on October 1, 2005, constituted an overpayment. In its report, the Commission wrote that it relied on the fact that the amount of money involved in the four sales to undercover agents "would equate to an annual figure of $24,000, which clearly would amount to sustained remunerative employment."
Not satisfied with this outcome, McNea filed a complaint in the court of appeals. The court found that no abuse of discretion had occurred and denied McNea's writ. After that, McNea brought his appeal before our court.
Ohio law specifically prohibits the payment of compensation to an incarcerated claimant, so McNea did not contest the cessation of benefits during his period of confinement.
He did, however, object to the declaration of overpayment for compensation paid earlier. He made three arguments: (1) the Commission erred in reconsidering the staff hearing officer's order, (2) there was no evidence that he engaged in sustained remunerative employment between October 2005 and September 2007, and (3) the Commission violated his due process rights by terminating PTD while he was still in prison. We considered each argument and found that none had merit.
As to the first argument, Ohio law gives the Commission continuing jurisdiction to reopen a matter previously decided. This authority can be properly invoked when the order contains a clear mistake of law or fact for which reconsideration is being sought.
In this case, the hearing officer based his decision on a lack of evidence that McNea was working at the time of the PTD hearing. This reasoning is too narrow and constitutes a clear mistake of law. The correct focus isn't on the date of the PTD hearing. Instead, the question is whether at any time while receiving PTD compensation McNea was doing sustained remunerative work or engaged in activities medically inconsistent with the alleged disability.
In granting reconsideration, the Commission relied on a case from 2007, which declared that remunerative employment encompasses any remunerative activity, legal or otherwise. The Commission thus found that the hearing officer had committed a clear mistake of law and fact in failing to take McNea's illegal sales into account.
McNea also challenged the Commission's determination that he was performing sustained remunerative employment over the period in question. McNea's activities were clearly remunerative, so the question is whether the Commission abused its discretion in characterizing McNea's remunerative employment – his drug sales – as sustained.
"Sustained" has not been defined for workers' compensation purposes. But we have stated that remunerative activity doesn't have to occur on a regular or daily basis to be considered sustained. Any "ongoing pattern" of activity can be categorized as sustained activity.
In this case, the evidence established an ongoing pattern of phone calls and other sales-related activity that culminated in the four sales that McNea made. The Commission characterized this sales activity as sustained remunerative employment, and we declined to disturb that finding.
Finally, McNea had unsuccessfully petitioned the Commission to postpone the PTD termination hearing until after his release from prison. He claimed that this denial offended his due process right because his presence at the hearing was "of the utmost importance." We rejected that argument.
McNea's attendance at the hearing wasn't necessary to preserve his rights. He was represented by an attorney, and McNea never explained what allegedly indispensable evidence he would have offered had he been present. His absence didn't compromise his rights.
Thus, by a seven-to-zero vote, we affirmed the court of appeals' judgment that the Commission had not abused its discretion in declaring McNea's past PTD as overpayment.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The case referred to is State ex rel. McNea v. Indus. Comm., 131 Ohio St.3d 408, 2012-Ohio-1296. Case No. 2010-1770. Decided March 29, 2012. Opinion Per Curiam.

Buck to try another bid for Senate
After a failed bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in 2010, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck is trying again.
This time, the Republican has entered the race to unseat Colorado's other U.S. senator, Mark Udall.
"Since President (Barack) Obama and Senator Mark Udall went to Washington in 2008, Senator Udall has been one of the most reliable rubber stamps for President Obama's failed policies," Buck said in announcing his bid Wednesday on his website http://www.buckforcolorado.com. "The fact is, since 2008 America has been drowning in a sea of red ink, with a debt now totaling almost $17 trillion. Colorado needs a U.S. senator that will fight back in Washington, not capitulate to the big spenders."
Buck, who recently battled lymphoma, defeated former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton for the GOP nomination to challenge Bennet, but lost that bid by less than 30,000 votes out of nearly two million ballots cast.
But before he can face the first-term senator, Buck will have to win a three-way primary.
To date, two other Republicans are in the race, both of whom serve in the Colorado Senate. They are freshmen Sens. Randy Baumgardner, whose district includes Garfield County, and Owen Hill of Colorado Springs.
A graduate of Princeton University, Buck earned his law degree from the University of Wyoming in 1985.
He was first elected district attorney in 2004, and currently is serving his third term.
Buck's announcement drew immediate reaction from Democrats, who said the state rejected Buck once before and will do so again.
"Coloradans rejected Ken Buck's extreme views more than two years ago because he was out of touch with hardworking Colorado families, but he fits right in with the current Republican field," Palacio said. "Buck's candidacy — like Randy Baumgardner and Owen Hill's campaigns — shows how the GOP wants to turn back the clock on Colorado families."

Budapest (Jun. 14)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
An interesting trial which promises to reveal the motives and origins of the recent anti-Jewish excesses in the Hungarian universities will take place soon, as the result of a decision by the court of the Hungarian Senate.
The court decided to lift the immunity guaranteed to members of the Upper Chamber, and permit Count Teleki to start proceedings against Senator Josef Veszi, editor-in-chief of the "Pester Lloyd." Mr. Veszi, who recently clebrated his seventieth birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his widely known paper, was appointed member of the Upper House for life by an order of Admiral Horthy, Regent of Hungary. This honor was conferred upon him by the Regent on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.
The suit is the result of an article published in the "Pester Lloyd" accusing Count Teleki of instigating the anti-Semitic excesses in the universities. The Senate court urged the Senate to lift the immunity.

It seems like I've done little other in the past month than stare at spreadsheets. Columns and columns of figures have left me feeling somewhat cross-eyed as I've worked away on two fairly major financial tasks: our charity's annual report for last year and the financial sections of the business plan I talked about last month.
These two tasks, while separate, are heavily intertwined as they both demand various forms of financial analysis. Our annual report needs to contain financial statements for the past year and the business plan calls for various forms of historical financial analysis which support the included forecasting. For me, this means a huge amount of number crunching made all the more challenging by our ageing financial systems.
When we first founded EDV in late 2008 I knew that properly documenting our finances was going to be essential to our success. However as a new organisation, founded by people who had just spent the past few years volunteering rather than earning money, resources were scarce. Consequently we didn't have the luxury of sitting down with a paid accountant and setting up a system that tracked everything and automatically generated all the various reports needed.
Instead the charity got some spreadsheets, me, and my 6 years of experience as a semiconductor engineer. Although I had little, if any, formal accountancy experience I had been trained - by Germans no less - in how to think logically and make millions of transistors not only fit onto a few square millimeters of silicon but also function as a computer. Surely, I thought, it couldn't be too hard to keep track of money!
So I sat down and started writing down all the likely income and expenditure scenarios I could think of, thinking especially hard about the sometimes chaotic situations I had found myself in while handling money in two previous disaster zones. When I was reasonably happy I wrote a specification and asked people I knew with related experience to review it. Using their feedback I then built the management accounting system that our charity pretty much still uses to this day.
Too big for our (accountancy) boots
The system I built was all fine when our income was only around £16,000, which it was the last time we prepared an annual report. This year, however, we are reporting on a period with income approaching £140,000, and things have been starting to creak. While our independent examiner (Vin) and I recently agreed on draft financial statements for the report, the process of getting there was sometimes painful.
Because I had essentially created the system myself, some major sections needed changes to get them into a format Vin could use without having to spend lots of (billable) hours understanding. I also had to spend a lot of time relabelling incorrectly categorised transactions to be able to generate correct breakdowns.
Worse still, our accounting period covers our work in Haiti - a country that freely uses the American dollar, its own imaginary dollar (read this Wikipedia entry if you don't believe me) in addition to its actual local currency. Depending on the best deal we made transactions in all of these. This means that exchange rate fluctuations have turned into my arch-nemesis.
Overall then the process of preparing the accounts for independent examination took me far longer than I can afford to spare and the amount of data that will need to be processed will only grow as our charity does.
Furthermore the annual report essentially contains only one-years worth of data and only relative to one fixed point time (our accounting reference date). The financial statements for the business plan need to reflect 3 years of history and up to the same amount of forecasting. They also need to be easy to update, ideally on a quarterly basis, to enable us to monitor and act on results so that our business plan can be a management tool as well as a communications one.
The increasing strains on our now tired accounting system are part of the reason why I'm tackling all my current financial work as a larger whole rather than as isolated tasks. Once our annual accounts are finalised and submitted the plan is to incorporate all the updates needed into a newer, streamlined system that I can then use to more easily generate the business plan numbers as well as further annual statements in future years.
This is the plan, at least as long as I can avoid the evil of exchange rate fluctuations anyway.
In a blog two months ago I stated that local CVS organisations were unlikely to be able to offer much practical support to new groups that operated internationally. This turns out to be wrong and since writing that post I have accessed the Community Accounting Service at York CVS who I wish to thank for an effective and well-priced independent examination.

After a fight over raising the debt limit last year, the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's yanked the U.S. government's blue-chip AAA bond rating because it feared that America's dysfunctional political system couldn't deliver a credible plan to reduce the federal government's debt. S&P warned that "the differences between political parties have proven to be extraordinarily difficult to bridge."The Dow dropped 635 points in panicked selling the first day of trading after the S&P announcement. Outside Washington, the economy has been getting some good news. Europe's financial crisis appears to have eased. And the U.S. real estate market finally appears to be recovering from the housing bust. But partisan divide has left businesses and consumers wondering what's going to happen to their taxes and to federal contracts. Companies have plenty of cash. But they reduced spending on industrial equipment, computers and software from July to September, the first quarterly drop since mid-2009 when the economy was still in recession. And hiring has been stuck at a modest level of about 150,000 new jobs per month this year. Consumer confidence fell in December for the second straight month, according to a survey by the Conference Board, which blamed the drop on worries about the fiscal cliff. The uncertainty is also believed to have hurt holiday shopping, which grew at the slowest pace this year since 2008.

Looks like Heidi Klum had one hot 4th of July indeed!
Celebrating Wednesday's Independence Day holiday at the beach, Project Runway's sexy host, 39, shared a few photos of her skimpy bikini bod -- and massive cleavage -- with her Twitter followers.
"Happy 4th of July everyone!" the mom of four wrote Wednesday, posting a photo of herself wearing a hat and sunglasses that matched her black and white bikini. In a second shot, Klum -- who split from Seal, 49, in January -- revealed her taut tummy and sexy cleavage as she relaxed on a towel in the sand.
A former Victoria's Secret Angel, Klum has never been shy about showing off her fit figure. In 2011, she agreed to pose nude as part of an ad campaign touting Project Runway's ninth season, helping the network target the "contemporary woman."
Klum will host Project Runway's 10th season when it premieres on Lifetime later this month.

Victorians enjoy clean and healthy local vegetable produce, amongst best in the world and we are very sensitive to chemicals being used on our food.
This high quality is prized by growers and validated by independant quality auditors.
Plant pests and diseases threaten vegetable quality and farm profitability.
When a significant crop problem is identified which is unlikely to correct
naturally the grower may choose to apply a plant protection product to
the crop.
Plant protection products are important tools in high volume food
production systems.
They enable the grower reliably produce economic
quantities of the high quality food we expect on our dinner tables.
Misuse of these same products would undermine consumer confidence
in vegetables as clean, green and healthy foods.
This public concern for safe and healthy foods is protected by
Government legislation regulating the safe use of all plant
protection products in Australia.
In Victoria, our Department of Primary Industries regularly monitor Victorian
fruit and vegetable produce for traces of farm chemical and other contaminants.
The RESULTS of
many years of residue monitoring have concluded that Victorian
grown produce is safe and clean.

Review by: David Hurwitz
Artistic Quality: 9
Sound Quality: 9
This is a first-rate Schubert cycle, and we can only wonder what is in store for EMI now that it has decided to license its best artists and orchestras to super-budget labels like Brilliant Classics. Who would have thought that the so-called "majors" would wind up as a source library for enterprising independents! How ironic! Well, it's the listener's gain in any case. No one paid much attention to this series when it was first released in the late 1980s and early '90s, amid a flood of recordings that in retrospect looks increasingly like the classical music equivalent of the New Orleans levees breaking due to hurricane Katrina. I frankly don't think most of the big labels even know what they have, or more to the point, why they made it in the first place.
Muti is an interesting case–a conductor whose recording career began brilliantly and then fizzled out, more or less, on several labels, including Sony, EMI, and Philips. Some of his best symphonic work was done in Vienna–not just this set, but also his Schumann cycle for Philips. The orchestra's natural warmth of expression and big sound seem to mesh perfectly with his rhythmic discipline and energetic basic approach. The result is an "Unfinished" whose first movement has all of the necessary proto-Brucknerian weight but also plenty of anguish and excitement, while the Andante con moto for once really is "con moto".
Muti's also is one of the few performances of the "Great" Ninth Symphony that offers all of the big repeats without ever bogging down, and anyone who knows this music well will understand what a major achievement that represents. The early symphonies are each very beautifully played and conducted, and you get the Rosamunde music too, all on four really cheap discs. This necessitates breaking the Ninth across two CDs, but at this price, who cares? EMI's digital sonics are a touch glassy, but otherwise they are as big and rich as the performances. A steal.

OROVILLE -- People marched with the Butte County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Tuesday to protest laws that allowed George Zimmerman to be acquitted of second-degree murder for shooting Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, claimed self-defense in the 2012 shooting of the teenager in a gated community in Florida where Martin was staying.
A jury found Zimmerman not guilty in Seminole Circuit Court in Florida on July 13.
The local NAACP, Unit 1029, led the march. Protesters started at the northwest corner of Home Depot, crossing Nelson Avenue and marching up County Center Drive toward the Butte County Superior Courthouse.
NAACP President Irma Jordan called for a peaceable march. Jordan and Pastor Kevin Thompson of the Number One Church of God in Christ led the marchers singing, "We are standing for justice. We will not be stopped."
The group gathered on the steps of the courthouse. Jordan said the Zimmerman trial is over.
"We cannot go back, but we can stop other Trayvon Martin shootings from happening," Jordan said.
Jordan said, "We all have the same rights given by God, and the Trayvon Martin verdict was unfair."
Jordan asked people to support changes including of the "Stand Your Ground" laws on self-defense, racial and other profiling, and the removal of a section of the Voting Rights Act.
Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court voted to remove the section of the Voting Rights Act that requires places with a history of discrimination to get approval before changing the way elections are held.
Tim Harrison, pastor of the New Home Missionary Baptist Church, said the Zimmerman case includes all the elements required for a United States Department of Justice investigation.
Florida authorities have delivered all evidence related to the Zimmerman investigation to federal officials, who are weighing whether to pursue a civil rights case.
Celia Hirschman of the Historic Downtown Oroville Neighborhood Watch said they do not support violence by neighborhood watch volunteers.
"We do not support what Zimmerman did," Hirschman said.
Jordan handed out packets of information people can use to protest laws.
Seng Yang, of the Hmong Cultural Center of Butte County, also spoke about supporting equal justice for all.
James Bradford, born and raised in Oroville, came from Sacramento to participate in the march to support changes in laws.
Bradford said a lot of African-American youth in Florida and other areas are living in fear in the aftermath of the Zimmerman trial.
"That's leading to a gateway for things like that (the Martin shooting) to happen again," Bradford said.

Gypsum, used as a soil amendment to supply soluble calcium and sulfate sulfur, helps soils absorb more water during rainfall, according to USDA ARS research studies. That means more water goes into the soil reserves to be tapped by crops when rains are scarce later in the season.
"The key to getting through drought is to capture all the water you can when you do get rain," says Allen Torbert, research leader at the USDA-ARS National Soil Dynamics Lab at Auburn, Ala. "Better soil structure allows all the positive benefits of soil-water relations to occur and gypsum helps to create and support good soil structure properties."
In addition to improving moisture utilization, gypsum helps to keep phosphorus and other nutrients from leaving farm fields. "Using gypsum as a soil amendment is the most economical way to cut the non-point runoff-pollution of phosphorus," says retired soil scientist Darrell Norton who conducted decades of gypsum research while at the USDA-ARS National Soil Erosion Laboratory at Purdue University.
A testament to its positive contribution to soil and water quality, gypsum application to agricultural fields was recently added to Ohio's conservation practice standards issued by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), notes Warren Dick, professor, Environmental and Natural Resources, The Ohio State University (OSU), Wooster, Ohio.
Dick is the lead researcher for a number of research projects studying gypsum's impact on soil and water quality, as well as crop productivity. Gypsum has been shown to boost corn yield by as much as eight percent1 and alfalfa yield by as much as 18 percent2 in OSU research.
Dick, Torbert and Norton, along with several other gypsum researchers, industry experts and growers and consultants experienced using gypsum, will be featured speakers at the Midwest Soil Improvement Symposium: Research and Practical Insights into Using Gypsum to be held March 7 at Ada, Ohio. David Montgomery, Ph.D., professor of geomorphology in the Department of Earth & Space Sciences at the University of Washington, and award-winning author of "Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations," will present the keynote. Sponsors for the program are Gypsoil, OSU and the Conservation Technology Information Center.
Gypsum, or calcium sulfate dihydrate, has been used for centuries, and was promoted by Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. Colonial crop growers observed fields that were green and lush when mined gypsum or "land plaster" was applied. The cost of mining and shipping gypsum to crop producers, however, caused agricultural use of gypsum to dwindle over time except for on high value crops like potatoes, tomatoes and peanuts.
But thanks to the 1990 Clean Air Amendments, there is a new supply of high quality and lower cost synthetic gypsum available called flue gas desulfurization gypsum or FGD gypsum. FGD gypsum is produced as a co-product in wet scrubbing systems used to clean emissions at certain coal-fired utilities. Gypsum is also a co-product from some food-grade manufacturing processes.
FGD gypsum contains 20 percent soluble calcium or about 400 lbs./ton and 16 percent sulfur (in the sulfate form) or about 320 lbs./ton, explains Ron Chamberlain, director of gypsum programs for Chicago-based Beneficial Reuse Management, which markets Gypsoil brand gypsum. Chamberlain will discuss gypsum spreader set-up and application tips at the March 7 program.
"Gypsum is a fine dry material that many growers and applicators are unfamiliar with handling so a little instruction is often needed," says Chamberlain. "For best results, gypsum can be applied using a fertilizer or litter spreader designed for bulk materials with just a minimum set-up."
Gypsum offers a host of benefits to improve agricultural productivity and soil and water quality. For more information, plan to attend the March 7 event. Learn more at http://www.gypsoil.com/.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Veterinarians vary on how much surgeries cost. A lot depends on how big the tumor is that is being removed, if a drain needs to be inserted (if the tumor is large and there is a large "pocket" when it is removed, a drain is often necessary for a few days), etc, etc. You should contact your regular vet for an estimate.
At age 8, in my practice, I would require bloodwork to check liver, kidneys, hematocrit, etc prior to anesthesia. My surgical patients all get IV catheters and fluids during the procedure. Pain medication afterwards and to send home is always done, too. I would guesstimate the range for surgical removal of a lipoma to be somewhere in the $400-$800+ range. But so much depends on location of the tumor.
So call your vet and ask them for an estimate. Your vet may need to see Murphy again to get a better idea of the size and scope of the surgery.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
After much speculation, HipHopDX reports that Big Sean has basically confirmed that he's working on a mixtape project with Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y. Talk started after two tracks starring the three rappers, "Flowers" and "O.T.T.R." "leaked" to the Internet this week. During an on-air interview with Phoenix radio station 101.5 Jamz, Big Sean said that he will drop a mixtape in the next couple of weeks. "I'm back to the mixtapes, I'm back to putting out new music," he said. "I'm working on this secret big project that's probably going to come out in the next few weeks with me and two other guys in hip-hop that are just killing it right now."
Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa are currently on a 27-city tour together. Listen to the two leaked tracks here.

Two generations of farmers joined on Friday for an annual charity fundraising evening in St Keverne.
The event involved members of Helston and St Keverne Young Farmers' Club attending an evening of food and entertainment put on by the club's advisory members – past members and parents of those now involved.
Taking place in St Keverne Village Hall, a generous buffet was provided by the women, including a vast array of desserts.
A harvest auction followed, in which Phil Hosking acted as auctioneer selling a large of amount of produce donated by those attending. This included a range of vegetables, plus gift baskets and other agricultural items. The evening ended with the traditional sketch performed by the men's advisory committee, reducing the audience to fits of laughter.
By the end of the evening £500 had been raised for the two charities the club has chosen to support this year – the Farm Crisis Network and Cornwall Air Ambulance.

Hi new member here. But, not new to Penis Enlargement.
Let me tell you my personal Penis Enlargement journey as it relates to the title of the thread. "Clamping is the only Penis Enlargement exercise that has every given good results."
I've been married for the last 14 years. I've only ever been with three women in my life and that includes my wife. The reason I bring that up is that all three had very different tightness of vaginas, that felt very different on what started out as a kind of thin 5" dick.
My first girlfriend, was very hot . Unfortunatly when I had sex with her, it was an exercise in frustration, because the fit between us was very loose. I'm sure like a lot of guys, I prefer a tight fit. This first girlfriend really gave me a complex about my penis size. Not because of anything she said, she was always a sweetheart. But because I knew it wasn't all her. Sure I knew some girls just have larger vagina's, but the exerience also pointed out what I already knew and didn't want to be reminded of. That my dick was somewhat on the small side
My next girlfriend was very, very tight. When we had sex her vagina felt like a lubed clamp. As you can imagine this boosted my ego. And well, the sex felt way better and wasn't frustating for the both of us.
Later I met my wife. She was somewhere inbetween. Probably about how the average woman is who doesn't have naturally large or small vagina and isn't a whore who screwed hundreds of guys and loosened herself up beyond repair.
I still wanted that tight feeling and knew that my penis was underdeveloped. The head instead of looking like a helmut, looked more like an arrow. My shaft did not bulge out and look muscular like someone who has a larger member. It just looked like a narrow tube. I wanted a bigger dick!
The first thing I did was order a pump. I used it in secret, but soon quit as it was painful and left me numb and didn't seem to make any results unless I always pumped to point of getting fluid swelling. Then of course I couldn't have sex, let alone feel it, because I'd have to explain to my wife about why my dick skin was strangely swole and admit to her that I myself though my penis was small, and that I was using an embarrassing pump contraption.
Next I tried jelqing. This was years ago before Penis Enlargement pay sites were dime a dozen. I think there were three major ones. I bought a course from one. The whole course basically consisted of the typical: warm up with hot compress, stretch, then jelq.
So, I decided to do the recommend course. It claimed it could take anywhere from 3-6 months to see results. I did it without telling my wife, so I could see if I could get a reaction out of her. After three months of jelqing she finally asked if I had bought a pump or something.
My penis was longer and thicker, and the sex was tighter and more enjoyable for both of us. I honestly think Penis Enlargement saved our sex life.
However, it seemed I hit an impass with jelqing. No matter how long I did it, how light, how hard, how many days off or on. It just seemed to have no more effect. Also, the hand stretching were not adding any more noticeable length. Jelqing also had a four side effects I didn't like at all: 1. A dark discoloration at the bottom of my member. 2. Difficulty getting an erection enough to even jelq because of desensizing. 3. Baseball bat effect. 4. At the beginning pain from hairs at the base being jelqed over. So, I was quickly becoming disillusioned with jelqing and hand stretches.
About this time I somehow discovered or made up my own version of clamping. Basically, get an erection. Then slowly squeeze the base as close to the pubic bone as you can, squeezing more blood in and pumping it like a balloon. And, kegel and masturbate while gradually squeezing it harder and harder. The whole thing all the way up to the head just balloons up quickly, and then balloons out past usual erect state.
Once I discovered clamping and developed my own routine I made more gains in just three weeks, than I did in six months of jelqing. I got the fit between me and my wife where it was, "OMG that's tight," tight. So, as you can imagine I was very thrilled and sex was even better.
This was a couple of years ago. I got cancer, got over it, but in the mean time slacked off of Penis Enlargement and my penis shrunk down somewhat. Not to it's original very self disappointing size, but none the less smaller than I know it could be.
Just recently I decided to start up Penis Enlargement again and started using my clamping method again. I thought to myself, there has got to be an easier way of doing this.
I googled, "penis clamping," and had no idea free information on Penis Enlargement had come so far. I found a thread on here that described my very method except with a better way to do it. Simply add a cable clamp and a cut off sock to Penis Enlargement clamping techniques and IMO, you have the very best Penis Enlargement exercise. I've been using the cable clamp method for the past two days and already seeing great results, it's way quicker than my manual method of clamping. I'm also surprised at how comfortable the clamp is.
Anyway this is what I have personally experienced with various Penis Enlargement exercises before coming upon clamping:
Pumps: useless, unless you are willing to do a very light pump AND can keep the seal AND want to sit somewhere with this stupid contraption on your penis for an hour or more. Pumping quick just gets you fluid swelling on your skin and sore and even numb.
Hanging: Useless. Tried it, even a light weight would make me retract. Also, unless you are single shut in, who the hell is going to sit around with some weight tied to their dick and sit there for any length of time.
Hand stretches: I don't know, I'm on the fence. I gave up on stretching early because it never seemed to do anything other than temporarily make my penis hang longer and thinner for a few moments at best.
Jelqing: EXTREMELY OVERATED, imo. I can get more size out of five minutes of pumping than I can out of an hour of jelqing. I'm not exaggerating either. IMO, jelqing is beaten badly in the results department by clamping. This may be different for other Penis Enlargement'rs. I think it's because my flaccid size is considerably smaller than my erect size. I've noticed that some men hang almost the same size as they are erect. To me jelqing doesn't make sense compared to clamping. Jelqing balloons up the penis and pushes the blood toward the head, but simultaneously shrinks the spot you just inflated a moment ago. So, it makes it very difficult to get good expansion going. With clamping, you get it up, clamp it and keep over inflating it literally like a balloon. And it actually is fun to do. Because basically you are just masturbating and kegeling blood into your unit.
Believe me I've tried all sorts of jelqing. So, it's not like I just did it once and wrote it off. I don't know maybe it's an issue where you already have to have a nice flaccid size with lots of blood already in it. One of those guys who has a flaccid size closer to his erect size.
Anyway, that's my opinions and personal experiences. With clamping I know how to get a little length and a good amount of girth. I'm going to check the rest of the forum and see if there is a great length exercise I've yet to discover.

It's a tricky thing, telling people the symptoms of brain cancer, says Dr. William T. Sause. They're fairly common and nonspecific "Everybody has headaches, right?" and you don't want to send the entire world in for expensive scans and tests since "brain tumors are relatively rare."
That's one of the more minor challenges posed by brain cancer, says Sause, director of Cancer Services for Intermountain Healthcare and chief of oncology of the Jon and Karen Huntsman Cancer Center at Intermountain Medical Center.
"Symptoms tend to be very subtle," says Sause. "And they tend to occur over a protracted period of time.
"Oftentimes, we see someone come to the ER with severe headaches. They're driving and don't see the car parked in the street next to them, so they hit the car. It tends to be fairly insidious, subtle changes in cognitive ability and personality that we all experience periodically in our life."
Cancers of the brain and there are various types and stages are the subject of Saturday's Deseret Morning News/Intermountain Health Hotline. From 10 a.m. to noon, Sause and Dr. Ali Choucair, who is Utah's only neuro-oncologist and practices at LDS Hospital, will field called-in questions. All calls are confidential.
The most common symptoms, Choucair says, are personality, behavioral or memory changes, headaches, seizures and numbness or weakness on one side of the body. Depending on a tumor's location, vision can also be affected. And, in fact, symptoms are more dependent on the tumor's location in the brain than on the specific type of tumor, he adds.
Brain tumors have no established genetic link, the two specialists agree. Choucair said that in the 22 years he's been practicing medicine, he's seen only two examples of a brain cancer repeated in a family. There is a genetic link where brain tumors and colon cancer happen together in families. But that's "really, really, rare."
And no one's sure what, if anything, in the environment may cause most brain cancers. Suspects change periodically and have included the electromagnetic fields around power lines, cell phones and other things. Studies have failed to back those suspicions up. Right now, pesticides are being investigated because some researchers believe that farmers have more than their share of malignant brain tumors, but the jury's still out on that one.
There are "peaks" in incidence among children and among senior citizens, but brain tumors affect all ages.
Most people take their symptoms to their primary care physician, and that's a very good starting point, Sause and Choucair agree. They do a good job of assessing who needs further screening and then referring cases when it's appropriate.
Sause says early detection is important for certain benign tumors because they can be removed when they're relatively small, but for most malignant brain tumors, "it's not clear how well it works."
The brain is different than some parts of the body, because every cell in the brain has the potential to become malignant, although the most common brain cancers are those involving connective tissue and the glial cells, which are not surprisingly also the most abundant cells in the brain. Also different from some cancers, most brain cancers stay in the brain and don't metastasize elsewhere.
Brain cancers are sorted by grades. Grade 1 is more common in the younger age group, says Choucair. "They tend to be very, very slow growers." Grade 2 also usually grows quite slowly. Grade 3 is faster; if left untreated, a tumor could double in size in about three months, while grade 4 could double in as little as two. As a brain tumor grows, it displaces or infiltrates normal brain tissue.The higher-grade tumors have much lower cure rates. But that, too, depends on the type of tumor.
