Episcopal Relief Gets $1.4M in Grants for Kenyan Kids with HIV/AIDS
Episcopal Relief & Development is proud to announce that it has received a $1.4 million grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to expand its integrated Early Childhood Development program (ECD) in Zambia and to extend the program into Kenya. The four-year grant will enable the organization and its local partners, Zambia Anglican Council Outreach Programmes (ZACOP) and Anglican Church of Kenya Development Services (ADS-Nyanza), to impact 7,600 families including 14,880 children under the age of three, many of whom are impacted by HIV/AIDS.
"We are extremely grateful for the continued partnership of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and its commitment towards early childhood development and vulnerable children," said Robert W. Radtke, President of Episcopal Relief & Development. "This generous grant recognizes the significance of our work and represents a strategic priority for Episcopal Relief & Development as we strengthen and expand the program in Zambia and Kenya."
Episcopal Relief & Development is the recipient of one of 17 grants made by the Hilton Foundation's Young Children Affected by HIV and AIDS Initiative in 2017, which is aimed at addressing the needs of families affected by the disease, particularly children ages three and under.
This is the third grant that Episcopal Relief & Development has received from the Hilton Foundation. In 2011, a $350,000 grant helped launch the ECD program which reached an estimated 4,000 families. In 2013, the organization was awarded a $1 million grant to help expand the program to serve 12,500 children. Episcopal Relief & Development and ZACOP celebrated the program's accomplishments at a forum held in Lusaka, Zambia in May 2017.
The impact of the program has been transformational, changing how parents, particularly fathers, connect with their children on a deeper, more responsive level. It has trained 742 volunteers and engaged over 6,000 primary caregivers and almost 10,000 children under the age of five. Parent-child activities which promote children's cognitive development skills more than doubled from 38 percent to 79 percent, motor skills increased from 43 percent to 79 percent, and social skills improved from 75 percent to 92 percent.
"Young children impacted by HIV/AIDS can now receive care that supports their health and development," said Felicia Sakala, ZACOP's Country Director in Zambia. "Our children and their families are much better served when we work within the family unit and share essential parenting practices which family members can easily adopt."
The new grant will support 60 new ECD programs in rural areas of Zambia and engage an estimated 14,400 children under three along with 7,200 primary caregivers. In Kenya, the Hilton Foundation grant will contribute to the new Kisumu County program which includes 400 parents or relatives and approximately 480 children under three. The program will train volunteers, directly engage fathers and expand the focus on nutrition. An integral part of the ECD program includes research to develop information for best practices so that effective strategies may be utilized by a wide range of faith-based organizations and community development programs.
"Faith-based organizations perform a critical function in identifying and mobilizing community support for vulnerable children and their families," noted Samuel Omondi, Executive Director of ADS-Nyanza in Kenya. "ADS-Nyanza will be creating a consortium of faith-based organizations to reach out to the entire community to participate in activities that stimulate and nurture our children."
Episcopal Relief & Development's Early Childhood Development programs fight poverty, hunger, and disease and promote the health, development and financial well being of families, and are designed to ensure that communities flourish. As part of the program, parents and primary caregivers share their experiences and ideas with each other, while children acquire knowledge to share with their own children when they, too, become parents.

Recently, Alt-N Technologies officially launched MDaemon® Messaging Server, BlackBerry® Edition to compliment the small-to-medium size business portfolio within the BlackBerry® family of products. This all-encompassing messaging solution is the result of RIM's acquisition of Alt-N Technologies in 2009. The product has since been well-received by SMB customers, but has led to some new questions around the specific environments that are best suited to MDaemon and how they compare to other options that are available from Research In Motion® (RIM®) and the market at large. To this end, I caught up with Kevin, Director of Marketing for Alt-N, to dig a bit deeper into the MDaemon use case scenario.
Kevin, as you know, everyone seems to be moving to 'the cloud', but MDaemon is an on-premises email platform. Why would an organization select MDaemon as opposed to a hosted solution, or a cloud-based email option like Gmail?
All those products have different ways of meeting a customer's need. For example, if a customer needs other Microsoft® application integration (e.g., Microsoft Sharepoint®), then Microsoft Exchange® or Microsoft Small Business Server® along with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express, at no incremental charge, would be a good fit for BlackBerry smartphone users. For smaller, new businesses, sometimes a hosted offering like Gmail looks attractive. But according to a 2010 Osterman Research survey, over 70 % of SMB IT managers prefer deploying new email systems on-premises to better manage and control their IT environments. What they don't want – and can't afford – is a solution that is expensive to acquire and maintain; in other words, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key driver. It is that low TCO that has helped MDaemon become a trusted alternative email platform for SMB customers around the globe.

ECS P55H-A Review
Left 4 Dead is a new release from Valve that leaves you as part of a group of survivors in a world where an infection has rapidly turned the populace into a zombie horde. Your goal is to make it to a rescue point, all while fighting what seems like overwhelming odds. Along the way there are safe houses where you can replenish your weapons and health. The movie "I Am Legend" comes to mind to set the stage for this game. But unlike the movie, there are four characters and not just a lone gun and his faithful companion. The horde is not at all like the typical slow walking, foot shuffling zombies. These zombies are quick and work with pack mentality. You have but one job; survival!
- 4xAA
- 16xAF
- All other settings at Maximum
In every resolution the P55H-A presented us with great FPS. The overclock however, didn't offer much of an improvement.

I'm not entirely sure what Jackie and I had for dinner on Friday night. I am sure that it was delicious, felt great in the mouth and was fun to eat (with a spoon – the best tool), and I'm pretty certain about what it was not: it wasn't pasta cooked like a risotto, because I didn't gradually add liquid and keep stirring; it wasn't fideuà (the paella-like noodle dish of Catalunya), because I didn't brown the pasta or use a sofrito or leave the pan uncovered. It was … well, let me tell you how I made it, and you can tell me what it was.
It came together as I was cooking, and it started with a yen for pasta. In the house was a farmers' market treasure: small, firm new-season potatoes. There are Ligurian dishes of pasta and potatoes, often with green beans and pesto, and these are delicious, but I didn't feel like making pesto (even in a food processor, which is really the most sensible way to do it) and, anyway, there were no beans. There were juicy new onions, though, and little Spanish chorizos – the ounce-and-a-half ones that come four to a vacuum-sealed pack – and parsley and a bit of chicken stock. And of course many shapes of pasta from the drawer that Jackie refers to as our pastateca. Oh – and half a cup of pan gravy from a roast chicken.

If you've ever looked at the rusty tailgate of an old Ford truck and thought 'this would make a delightful bench,' then you have a lot in common with Revival owner Sarah Thompson, who will open her repurposed home goods store in Greensburg this weekend.
If you've ever looked at the rusty tailgate of an old Ford truck and thought 'this would make a delightful bench,' then you have a lot in common with Revival owner Sarah Thompson, who will open her repurposed home goods store in Greensburg this weekend.
"Everything I sell is either a repurposed item or something old that would have ended up in a landfill," said Thompson on Tuesday afternoon. "I try to turn things into something useful. I have a lot of different things. I have furniture that has been redone. I really like the repurposed side of it."
Thompson, who has family ties in Coldwater, will bring her eclectic mix of furniture and home goods to a previously vacant street-level space inside of the City of Greensburg SunChips Business Incubator on Main Street.
The space had previously been occupied by German Eco-Block manufacture H.I.B. and a sign company.
Thompson had previously tried to open Revival in Liberal but was unsuccessful.
"I wasn't having an easy time getting it started here, I tried but I couldn't get everything to work out," she said.
A conversation with Kiowa County Economic Development Director Dee Chandler and Ruth Ann Wedel of Greensburg Greentown prompted her to pursue Greensburg as a potential location for her flagship store.
"I'd been visiting with people in Greensburg about potential jobs because I was interested in moving to Greenburg. I love the way Greensburg has gone 'green' and the whole aspect of living there," she added. "I started to make a few phone calls and that's how I ended up in Greensburg."
Thompson will live in her grandfather's home in Coldwater until she can find a permanent home in Greensburg for her and her two dogs, Gabby and Josie.
Her grandfather, James Thomson lives at the Carriage House in Greensburg (Editors Note: James Thomson was one of the featured World War II veterans in the Nov. 9, 2011, edition of the Kiowa County Signal).
The store, which will sell a variety of unique items, will be the marriage of discarded everyday items with creative reinvention.
"I have some repurposed chandeliers made from bicycle wheels. I've made some benches from repurposed old tailgates I got from the landfill. My favorite things are old cake pans that I've turned into lamps. I think they are really neat and it's something that could go into the kids' room or any room in the house."
Thompson said she is going to donate $5 from the sale of each lamp back to a yet-to-be-announced local entity.
Revival will officially open on Aug. 18 at 10 a.m. as part of the Summer Soiree celebration in Greensburg.
"It is really exciting and pretty intense and I'm certainly nervous about it but I am excited to be part of Greensburg," said Thompson. "I think the people have some tremendous resilience and determination. I love that they are thinking about green. I think my store is green but on a much smaller level, but I am proud to be a small part of the community."
When asked where she would like to see her store a year from now, she said her commitment and success in Greensburg would be gauged by more than just receipts.
"I'd like to see growth," she replied. I'd like to have been able to integrate myself and the store, as a part of the business community. I'd also like to be part of the Greensburg community. I love being involved in communities I am a part of."

Sean Rosen Is Not for Sale (Hardcover)
Greenwillow Books, 9780062187505, 384pp.
Publication Date: March 18, 2014
Get ready for the sequel to I Represent Sean Rosen, the original and very funny debut novel that has the New York Times–bestselling creator of Big Nate, Lincoln Peirce, proclaiming, "Sean Rosen is my hero!"
The stakes are higher, the funny stuff is funnier, and the completely original and individual wunderkind Sean Rosen is balancing middle school and his career in ways never before seen. The adventures of Sean Rosen and his fictitious manager, Dan Welch, continue as Sean works on his screenplay, deals with seventh grade and track practice and a dog-walking job, records his podcasts, and tries to keep his brush with stardom a secret from his parents. Meanwhile, a major Hollywood movie studio has sent a private detective to Sean's town to find out who this Sean Rosen kid is, and what the nature is, exactly, of his big idea. Featuring another original Christoph Niemann cover, this is perfect for fans of Jack Gantos, Jeff Kinney, and Carl Hiassen.

I have these leggings in a size XXS....they fit me well for about an hour.....then, due to the inferior, thin, flimsy material that they are constructed of, they began to sag and lose their shape. They feel like cheap, thin plastic :(

These leggings feel like a second skin and you move smoothly in them. I only wish it came in petite sizes as I am only 5' tall but they still look good a lil scrunched up around my ankle.

Rated 1 out of 5 by love2luv from Nice picture Worst $69 I've spent at BEBE. I'm usually a medium in pants, however, I tried them on and had to get a size small. After wearing them for about 2 hours, the elasticity in the waist gave out and found myself having to tug on the pants to keep them up! To make matters worse, there are no belt loops!
Date published: 2013-12-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by PrettyDemi from Obsessed! This is the Bebe I know and love. Smokin' hot pant. Only suggestion I have is it should be thicker material and zipper should be on the side or back. It looks weird with a shorter shirt or crop because of that middle-front zipper. But nevertheless, I wear these ALL.THE.TIME.
Date published: 2013-11-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thequeengets from H-O-T no doubt about that! I really love this leggings, they are cute, comfortable and stretchy. Fabric is thin but it's not too revealing which is great, just very sexy. I'm grateful that the shine is not too intense, just right. I'm XS and fits true to size, but if they offered them in XXS, they would fit as well. These are not a pain to put on or remove and are good length too. I like the design in the hips-waist and the zipper in dark silver. 4.5 stars from me. Worth getting with a special offer but I wouldn't pay full price for them due to the fact that I'd rather spend a few more dollars and get a more (everyday) wearable pants or skirt but this item is very fashionable right now. Other than that, I recommend them as well, too many reviews can't lie!

Norwich mayoral candidates have spirited exchanges in debate
Norwich - The three mayoral candidates sparred on many issues Tuesday - often the two major party candidates opposing the stances by their Libertarian counterpart - while all three agreed on issues such as allowing dogs in Mohegan Park, improving handicapped access to city buildings and seeking a role in negotiations between Norwich Free Academy and the public school system.
Republican incumbent Peter Nystrom defended his record spending part-time hours during his first four-year term while working another full-time job, and Democratic Alderwoman Deberey Hinchey defended her professional campaign consultant against allegations of harassment of voters and city registrars.
Libertarian William Russell has campaigned saying he represents the only real alternative, and Nystrom at one point said he and Hinchey had nearly identical voting records over the past two years on the City Council.
Questions broached many topics, with most submitted by some of the more than 80 people who attended the debate at Kelly Middle School. The debate, sponsored by The Day, is available on www.theday.com.
Nystrom said the mayor's office in the charter is a part-time position and said he has devoted many hours to the role, using all of his vacation and many of his weekends and days off on city business. Nystrom said with 27 years of experience in public office, he was able to "hit the ground running," and said he worked with developers to bring major projects to fruition, including the sale and renovation of the Marina at American Wharf and the Norwichtown Commons. He also said he helped bring national chain stores to the city.
But Hinchey, who pledged to retire from her job as a clinical social worker, said there is plenty more that could be done during regular office hours, including meeting with developers and business owners and making the city's needs known in Hartford.
Russell wants to make the mayor's office full-time and as influential as possible. He supports a charter change to a strong mayoral form of government, including veto power on the council.
The most contentious words were exchanged over the recent complaint filed by city registrars against Hinchey's hired campaign consultant, the Vinci Group of Manchester, allegedly for voter coercion and attempted intimidation of election officials.
Hinchey said the complaint was politically motivated and was leaked to the press by an anonymous person two weeks before the election.
Nystrom objected to that position and said city election officials should be concerned when an outside professional agency is accused of harassing elderly voters. He said in one incident, a Vinci Group representative was heard screaming so loudly at city registrars that a police officer in City Hall rushed to the office.
Russell agreed with Nystrom and said voters should not support a candidate "who would hire this kind of agency."
Hinchey and Nystrom both challenged Russell's position that many city services - including recreation, the senior center and Human Services - could be converted into nonprofit agencies, with dues paid by users to support them. Russell said taxes should be used only for services everyone uses.
Nystrom and Hinchey said it probably wouldn't be legal to attempt such moves. Nystrom said city staffing is "bare bones" now, citing the loss of city housing and building inspector positions over the years and the increase in blight.
Hinchey said a city trying to attract families and businesses needs a safety net for residents in need, good schools and recreation.
"Government has a duty to help provide for our families," Hinchey said.
One question asked candidates what the city should do with the $22 million Norwich Transportation Center now that the federally and state funded parking garage that serves as the Southeast Area Transit hub near Norwich Harbor is built and open.
Nystrom said he has worked as mayor to bring activity to the mostly vacant garage. One city travel agent has agreed to run bus tours from the center, allowing patrons to park in the garage. He also has pushed hard for federal and regional support for an idea to enhance nearby freight rail tracks to eventually serve passenger trains.
Hinchey said continued negative attitudes about what critics have called a white elephant would "shut the door" to creative ideas on how to use the center. She agreed with pursuing more tour bus traffic with the garage as the bus loading spot.
Russell said the best thing for the city would be to sell the garage or rent it to a master tenant who could find a use for it. Nystrom and Hinchey doubted a federally funded facility could be sold.
"It doesn't matter if the money is from Washington, the state or Norwich," Russell said. "It's your money."
An audience member injected humor into the debate, asking the candidates if they would support the decades-long ban on dogs in Mohegan Park. All three supported the notion of allowing leashed dogs in the park, with Russell adding, "as long as (the owners) pick up after them."

Generally I would agree with there being benefits in doing software development in a portable fashion.
For example I totally agree with shotsman that just having a broader range of tools available already makes it a worthwhile effort.
So in principle I would have expected to agree with the article's contents as well, but I don't.
First, the author is very inconsistent in their definition of Linux-only.
At first one would assume that the meaning is software only available on Linux, but one discoveres pretty quickly that Linux-only seems to mean not available on Windows/OSX.
Closer to the end of the article even this is not true anymore, Linux-only now meaning more or less Windows/OSX versions not being in total sync with Unix platforms.
Very sloppy definition of "only" IMHO.
The author then goes on to claim that having the software available for the two main proprietary desktop platforms would automatically increase project contributions (either as work or financially).
But then totally destroys that argument himself by claiming that he would totally seriously love to contribute to Calligra (as a developer, no less) but cannot because the Windows version is not released consequently enough.
Most projects have a majority of their developers using one platform.
Some projects might reach out to contributors on other platforms, e.g. by providing an initial port or even doing a release there now and then.
Some projects might not have the resoures to do that but would welcome any new contributors willing to do that.
Only very few projects will consciously avoid supporting platforms they deem to different than their main one and especially on Linux only a tiny fraction will deliberatly depend on a single platform's feautures.
So nice intent of advertising targetting multiple platforms but very inconsistent in execution.

Dreaming Of An Inspirational Paint Job
We've talked till we are blue in the face about paint being an inexpensive option for making over a space, that's nothing new, but the crazy "Trading Spaces" paint jobs are long gone and we've been feeling a little lackluster with paint lately. Sure it's pretty, but it hasn't been anything to write home about. A local bank gave us a little zing this afternoon with super pretty paint in their drive thru!
This paint job can be found in Kansas City, Missouri in the Brookside neighborhood. Missouri Bank has put in a new branch and that's where we ran across this bright pop of color. Although this isn't exactly something you'll be putting up in you're entryway (although we would), we love the reminder that paint can be something other than a solid color. It can be taped off to create anything you can imagine and these clean graphic lines aren't especially difficult to replicate at home.
Each letter is lit at night, so we'll have to make a trip back to see what it looks like when in action. They're raised with small metal feet giving the piece depth.
Although you might not be into the wording so much, the colors and lines are still fun and we can see them working in a rec room or any other room for a more outgoing family with the right decor.
What do you think? Have we lost our marbles (because we know you'll be honest with us) or do you think it's a refreshing take on a paint job?

Aliens Versus Predator (DX11)
Aliens Versus Predator (DX11)
When benchmarking Aliens Versus Predator, we played through the whole game in order to find a section which represents a worst case scenario. We finally decided to include The Refinery level which includes a large open space and several visual features that really tax a GPU. For this run-through, we start from within the first tunnel, make our way over the bridge on the right (blowing up several propane tanks in the process), head back over the bridge and finally climb the tower until the first run-in with an Alien. In total, the time spent is about four minutes per run. Framerates are recorded with FRAPS.

Biography: Katie Masters
Katie Marie Masters was born on April 20, 1994, in Macon, Georgia, to parents Will and Marianne Masters. She was an only child and her parents were overcome with joy at her birth.
When Katie was 12 years old her father was offered a position at the University of Mississippi as a teacher. Will was an attorney-at-law and was thinking about making a career change and the teaching position was exactly what he was hoping for. He moved the family to Oxford, MS in 2006.
Katie was very upset about the move and having to leave all her friends, but Marianne's parents still lived in Macon, and she made the trip back several times a year and Katie still saw her old friends from time to time.
She made friends very easily at Oxford Junior High School in Oxford and in no time she had plenty of girlfriends, including Corrie Townsend. Katie adapted to life there and joined several of the clubs.
Skating had become Katie's passion and she skated every chance she got. Will and Marianne had bought her new skates in November, and she loved them. She went skating every Saturday at The Skate Place in Oxford either with friends or her parents would take her, drop her off, and come back to get her when she called.
She had discussed with her parents her plans for attending Ole Miss where her father was employed, after she graduated high school. She had her future all planned out, and it looked good.

A Column for Mercury
September 10, 2010
Mercury the Wonder Cat says it is time to give him some publicity. And since he is more or less in charge of things around here, here is his column. Cats are amazing animals. Mercury wanted to write it, but I had to say no. After all, I have a deadline.
I am a cat person. That is not to say I don't like dogs, but I am a cat person.
I had a series of Siamese cats, but when the last one died I said, "no more." But when son Dave and friend Terry kept nagging me, I gave in. One Saturday afternoon Terry hauled me around to all the animal adoption agencies. Finally, at one of the shelters, I was looking at a handsome orange and white feline when Terry returned from the office, and held a short conversation with that cat. The she turned to me and said, "Henrietta, that's your cat." And was she ever right? He is a gem.
He was two years old and had been very well cared for and well trained. He arrived at my house a perfect gentleman. He is a lover, not a fighter.
I named him Mercury. The God Mercury had wings and this one got to the top of everything in the house. And the Phoenix Mercury is my favorite women's pro basketball team.
Mercury is quite content in "his" apartment at the Commons. And the words, "Assisted Living" were designed for him. Everything is furnished at a minimum expenditure of energy on his part.
He often sleeps on my favorite end of the couch. It is usually easier to share it with him than to move him, but I must be careful not to sit on any protruding parts.
He supervises my showers each morning. Periodically he sticks his head in to see that I haven't disappeared, and then his little cat brain wonders why in the world a human would want to stand in the rain.
When he is awake he follows me around from room to room. When I am working at the computer he is usually sitting on the table beside the monitor. Robertson Davies, a Canadian journalist, explains this, "Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons."
He smells everything, including guests. But he does not damage anything, except occasionally my ankle when we get to playing a bit too hard.
He sleeps with me, of course, but the whole bed is his territory. Sometimes he tries to push me out, and other times he takes up his guard post on the outside corner.
But best of all are the times when he sits on my lap. He starts with his tail in my face and curls around so that he is staring at me. He has heavy fur and is so very soft. I rub his throat and ears and cheeks and he purrs and so do I.
I am amazed at the perfection of the feline body. It is flexible beyond imagination. The front paws can bend either way, making them useful for walking, for begging or for sleeping. As I watch him, it seems that the human body is not nearly so perfect. but we do have usable thumbs.
Mercury the Wonder Cat is warm and soft and very loving and a wonderful companion. So, when he asks me to write about him, I am happy to do it.

Dear Mary: In one of your columns that I read years ago, you recommended paying your rent (or mortgage) first, because landlords are quick to evict. I just wanted to confirm this point, but also say that I wish I would have taken that advice to heart.
I've lived in the same house for over three years. I was evicted for being 18 days late, even though this was the first time I was ever late. I sent a certified letter to the landlord ahead of time explaining why I would be late.
Since he didn't respond, I assumed my explanation for why I would be paying late was acceptable. Instead, he sent me a summons. It ended up costing me $900 in attorney fees and court costs, and it is still costing me because I have my things in storage. Because I have an eviction on my record, I cannot find anyone who will take me as a renter. I am basically homeless.
I have since learned that the landlord wanted possession of the house and used my first slip-up to gain it. I have paid a heavy price to learn about the laws that exist in Missouri, and similarly in all states:
You are considered late after the first day.
You are considered a late payer even if you pay during the grace period.
All that the grace period means is that you won't be charged a late charge until after the fifth day, or when the grace period runs out.
The landlord can report you to the credit bureaus as a late payer for up to seven years even if you have paid on time every other month over a long period of time.
Unless you have a lease, a landlord can serve you a 30-day notice to vacate, followed by eviction if you do not comply, just to gain possession of the property, even if you were never late.
I'm scared to death because I can't find a place to live. Morally and ethically I believe what the landlord did was wrong, but legally landlords can do this.
I hope you can use this letter to bring a real-life scenario to your readers. — J.K., MO
Dear J.K.: My heart is aching as I read your letter, trying to imagine how painful this lesson has been for you. The good thing is that I am certain you will never have to learn it again. I want to encourage you to keep looking and keep applying. You will find a place to live eventually, if you keep at it and do not give up.
Be open and upfront with potential landlords. If you tell them about the eviction before they find this out by reading your credit report, you will have an opportunity to explain what happened together with the difficult lessons you have learned.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I know there are readers right now who are learning from your mistake, and they are grateful. Good luck, and let us know when you get settled.
Do you have a question for Mary? Email her at email@example.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

Like our own short shift kits, UUC Motorwerks' kits reduce throw, saving you time during acceleration and deceleration. So what makes these kits "ultimate?" UUC is well known for its "overkill" design philosophy; they engineer each product to the highest possible standards. These shifters are no different: the upper lever section is height-adjustable by as much as 3/4" for optimizing comfort and ergonomics. The CNC-machined, stainless steel lower section features an integral pivot ball and self-adjusting primary pivot bearing. Then there's a separate inner silicone section that isolates the upper section from the lower, absorbing vibrations before they have a chance to get to your hand. All UUC short shifters are 100% compatible with original BMW shift knobs, including illuminated knobs. And the bolt on installation requires no irreversible changes to vehicle.
For even greater precision, add the UUC double-shear selector rod (part #DSSR86-1). It replaces the original BMW selector rod and reduces lateral play in the shifter (side to side). Plus, since play does not increase over time, it extends the useful life of the connector bushing.
Write Your Own Review
UUC is dedicated to engineering excellence, superior design, and ultimate performance. The company's guiding philosophy has always been: "If we can make something, we'll make it better. If we make it, it will be the best."
Opening its doors in 1998, UUC was quickly recognized as the technology-focused leader in their specialty components. While initially recognized for revolutionizing the short shifter kit, development of a large base of other parts has solidified their reputation for premiere quality and peerless performance results.
UUC produces a broad catalog of vehicle components, including:
UUC's line of "street-friendly, yet race-capable" components are primarily manufactured in UUC's own Georgia (U.S.A.) facilities. UUC's commitment to American manufacturing is further strengthened with the opening of a new CNC manufacturing center, providing expanded local employment, and constant attention to production and assembly processes, assuring customers of quality and integrity in every component that UUC offers.
Everything we sell comes with a minimum 12-month warranty and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. In addition, products that carry the Bavarian Autosport brand come with a minimum 2-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. (Some have lifetime warranties!) If you are unhappy with a product's quality or performance, simply let us know. We'll make it right. Call us at 800.535.2002 or e-mail [email protected].

Interview: Follow-up with Corrie Townsend
Thursday, December 15, 2011 - 4:15 p.m.
Detective Armstrong and Detective Murphy of the Yoknapatawpha Sheriff's Department interviewed the witness, who is the victim's best friend. The interview was conducted at the Yoknapatawpha Sheriff's Department and recorded on a portable tape recorder with the witness's knowledge and consent.
- Detective Ted Armstrong
- Detective Samantha Murphy
- Corrie Townsend
Detective Murphy: Please state your name and address.
Corrie Townsend: Corrie Townsend. I live at 142 Colonial Road.
Detective Murphy: We've asked you here to go back over the events of the day you spent with Katie Masters, and we are also going to ask you some personal questions about Katie's life and yours.
Corrie Townsend: OK. I'll do anything I can to help find who killed her. She was so full of life, and we had big plans for our futures.
Detective Murphy: Corrie, now that you've had a few days to think, can you think of anyone who would have wanted to see Katie dead?
Corrie Townsend: In all of Oxford, to my knowledge, there is only one person who even disliked her: Emily Rivers.
Detective Armstrong: Enough to kill her?
Corrie Townsend: I don't think so. See, Emily was in love with Bobby, but Robby was all about Katie.
Detective Murphy: What about Bobby? You did say he was acting odd that day.
Corrie Townsend: Bobby couldn't have done it even if he wanted to. He wouldn't even hunt because he thought "Thou shall not kill" meant exactly what it said.
Detective Armstrong: So, Bobby was religious?
Corrie Townsend: Very! That's why they broke up. Katie wanted to have sex, but Bobby is one of those virginity pledge kids who aren't going to have sex until they're married. I mean, he has one of those purity rings and everything. Katie thought she could change his mind, but eventually she got tired of waiting and dumped him.
Detective Murphy: You said that when Katie didn't return to the Coin Laundry, you thought that she went to party with the boys from the skate park. You said that one of the boys called her names and made a threat. Why is it that you weren't worried about her?
Corrie Townsend: Katie is street smart. She can take care of herself. Well, she always could before that day. I don't get how anyone could have done that to her. She would have fought like a wildcat and screamed her head off. How come no one saw or heard her?
Detective Murphy: That's what we are trying to figure out, Corrie. Did Katie have her cell phone with her when she left the Coin Laundry?
Corrie Townsend: Her battery was almost dead, but I saw her put it in her shirt pocket. Didn't you find it on her body?
Detective Murphy: No we didn't. What was her number and can you describe the phone?
Corrie Townsend: Her number is 236-XXXX, and it was a pink flip phone. I don't know what kind.
Detective Armstrong: Tell us about the man you hid from at the library. What did he look like?
Corrie Townsend: He was clean cut with dark skin. He was big and creepy. One of his eyes didn't move right. I never knew which eye to look at.
Detective Armstrong: Do you know what church he attended?
Corrie Townsend: He never mentioned the name of his church but we joked that it was probably in his basement or something.
Detective Armstrong: What do you mean by big? Was he fat?
Corrie Townsend: No, he was skinny. He was like a basketball player, all knobby.
Detective Armstrong: You were the last person to see her alive. Did you kill her?
Corrie Townsend: Me? No way. She's my best friend. I loved her.
Detective Armstrong: Were you in love with her?
Corrie Townsend: It wasn't like that. It was never like that. We were just friends.
Detective Armstrong: We know that Katie was bisexual, Corrie.
Corrie Townsend: Yes, But I'm straight, and she respected that.
Detective Armstrong: Were you jealous of the boys in her life?
Corrie Townsend: Sometimes. Of course I was. She was like a dude magnet, and I admit I envied that.
Detective Armstrong: Did you ever fight over boys?
Corrie Townsend: Yep, we sure did. There was a time or two when she hooked up with guys I liked, and it upset me.
Detective Murphy: Were you upset with her the day she died? Did you argue before she left the Coin Laundry?
Corrie Townsend: No.
Detective Murphy: Do you have any thoughts on who might have killed your friend?
Corrie Townsend: When I first heard that she was found at the Kangaroo Express, I thought of Jimmy.
Detective Murphy: Why is that?
Corrie Townsend: Katie knew that he had a crush on her, so every chance she got to make him squirm she jumped on. For instance, when her and Bobby would go in there together, she would kiss Bobby in front of Jimmy. Then when Bobby turned away, she would wink at Jimmy and lick her lips. She really teased him a lot. I felt so sorry for him; he was a big time blusher. I thought maybe this time she went too far and he snapped.
Detective Murphy: I thought most people these days had inline skates. Why did Katie have on roller skates?
Corrie Townsend: Her inline skates broke and her dad said the glue wasn't dry yet, so she took the rollers.
Detective Murphy: There wasn't any money on Katie. How was she going to purchase the snacks?
Corrie Townsend: Her purse was still in my car, but she always had cash on her in her cell phone. She would fold up a $5 or $10 and close it in her cell phone.
Detective Armstrong: Thank you for your time. We appreciate it.
Corrie Townsend: You're welcome. I hope you find her killer.
Interview ends: 4:45 p.m.

In Win Dragon Slayer Review
When it comes to designing a powerful gaming system you always prepare for the most beastly components. There are the high power processors, use of a massive number of hard drives, and the ever gigantic video cards. To have the power you need during those long LAN party gaming sessions, you need to go all out, leaving no component unturned. With those high powered components, you need to have a really big computer case to house them all in, right? Not anymore. In Win has come up with a design to "slay" the larger "dragon" cases, showing that you can have a machine that is lightweight and powerful enough to take on the beasts. This design is called the Dragon Slayer and is a force to be reckoned with.
The In Win Dragon Slayer takes what you would normally associate with a large full tower and packs it down into a mATX form factor with a few tricks up its sleeve. The most impressive feature is that it can house two, yes I said two, full sized video cards such as the ATI Radeon HD 5870 or the NVIDIA GTX 480 - up to 12.6 inches long. That is not all - the Dragon Slayer has several other top notch features packed away in its chain mail sleeve, so how about we dive right in and see what it is all about.
Closer Look:
The Dragon Slayer comes packaged in an interesting box. There is a design of a Dragon swooping down towards a knight, breathing deadly fire. The knight slays the dragon, winning glory. The In Win Dragon Slayer is modeled after a fierce knight, which we will explore more in depth as we go on. The important information needed before purchasing is printed on the sides of the packaging. On one side are the specifications on the chassis, including the supported hardware, and on the other side are some of the highlighted features including compatibility with two full length graphics cards, tool free design, and uncompromising thermal performance.
The Dragon Slayer is well packaged, which keeps it from being damaged during shipping. Once the chassis is removed, you can get a feel for the medieval design that In Win has chosen for it. Included with the In Win Dragon Slayer are the user guide, screws and cable guides, and the tool-less rails for the drives.
Now that everything is unpacked, let's take a better look at the outer features.

Cry No MoreBook - 2003
From the critics

My favourite Linda Howard book by far!!
It is a great story that tears at your guts and questions humanity. I love diaz and milla and just wish the sex was not so graphic. My question is how can a friend do what she did to milla and how come we readers know who wa sinvolved way before the main character? poignant, rich and very wonderful storytelling I did not want to put the book down. The mystery was fascinationg and the characeters were real with flaws and all. The part where she finds her son just moved me to tears. The ending of this vook made me cry. what a brave woman milla is.
I had to give this book a second read. What can I say?.... it was a superb story, Filled with so much heartache. It sucked me right in and had me crying like a baby....I felt as if I was reading it for the first time. I would have done the same thing Milla did, I never would have given up. Milla is a strong woman and a forced to be reckon with....and Diaz is a man I would love to call my own. LOL!! I highly recommend this book....more so if you are a mom.
Call me sexist - I'm always a little concerned with a female author writing suspense because more often than not the female lead character is too much of a suck and there ends up being waaaaaay to much romance. But I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It kept my interest - a good story - and some very graphic sex scenes don't hurt. I would read more of hers.
The story of a mother who loves her child so fiercely that she will never give up the search to find him after he is stolen as an infant. This story hit me so deeply that the first time I tried to read it, I had to put it down and go back to it later. One of Linda Howard's best, along with Sarah's Child. Much more intense than her excellent romances, which I savor because she does it all - great characters, plot, romance, intrigue, wit, and laughs! AND her stories come from a woman's/female/matriarchal perspective in all the best ways!
A book every mother should read.

clufs is a simple user space file system written in Common Lisp. It is intended to be used from Common Lisp but maybe could be later integrated to for example FUSE to be used as a real file system also. clufs could be used to pack set of files to a single file but probably this will be a just some kind of hack without actual goal.

Office spaces that provide focus, balance, and choice are the ones that will improve employee experience, enhance performance, and drive innovation, according to Gensler's 2013 U.S. Workplace Survey.
The survey of more than 2,000 knowledge workers across the U.S. shows that just 25% of U.S. workers feel they work in an optimal workplace environment. As a result, workplace effectiveness has declined since 2008, as measured by comparative data between Gensler's 2013 and 2008 U.S. Workplace Surveys.
Gensler cited three main drivers of employee dissatisfaction with their work environment:
Workplace density continues to increase — From 2010 to 2012, the average SF/person dropped from 225 to 176. This number is predicted to drop to as low as 100 SF/person by 2017.
Most offices don't offer a balance of collaborative and individual work spaces — 77% of survey respondents prefer quiet when they need to focus; 69% are dissatisfied with noise levels at their primary workspace.
Most offices don't offer choice when it comes to when and where to work — Employers who offer the choice of when and where to work have employees who are 12% more satisfied with their jobs and report higher effectiveness scores across all four work modes.
Three-step solution for office design
1. Provide effective focus space. "Enabling employees to perform their jobs effectively begins with supporting the individual, focused work that represents the core of their days and a critical aspect of employee and team performance," states the report. Workspaces should have a satisfactory noise level, be highly functional, and offer an attractive look and feel.
2. Collaborate without sacrificing focus. "Layering in alternative spaces and opportunities that support all work modes, from collaboration to learning and socializing, enables the connections that drive success in today's knowledge economy," said the Gensler report. The availability of alternative meeting, circulation, and support spaces, as well as in-office amenities (eating areas, break rooms), are key to creating "balanced" work environments, or those prioritizing both focus and collaboration.
3. Drive innovation through choice. Employers should offer anywhere (and anytime) working by providing a variety of spaces and the tools that allows employees to work remotely. Companies must pair the right tools and spaces with organizational policies that empower workers to best match space, tools, and tasks to achieve optimal productivity.

In a classic opera depicting the battle between intellectual enlightenment and romanticism with allusions to ancient Masonic rituals, you don't expect a character to exclaim, "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?"
But this is director Jeffrey Marc Buchman's whimsical take on Mozart's "The Magic Flute," one of the most-popular operas of all time, in part, because its inherent irreverence begs to be enhanced with goofball humor and imaginative re-interpretations — both of which mark the Florida Grand Opera's edition. If Buchman doesn't quite coalesce the warring tones of low comedy, heartfelt boy-meets-girl romance and highbrow pursuit of virtues extolled in ponderous verbiage, FGO's "Magic Flute" remains an entertaining evening.
Conductor Andrew Bisantz assuredly leads the orchestra and cast through a faithful and satisfying rendition of Mozart's score, with some strong if not stunning performances. The most-obvious highlight was coloratura soprano Jeanette Vecchione's local debut as the haughty Queen of the Night. Her first-act aria lacked some of the fire you long for, but she dexterously negotiated the legendarily difficult second-act coloratura aria.
But it's Buchman's vision that stands out. Before he transports us into this "Alice in Wonderland" fairy tale, he frames the opera as a "Wizard of Oz"-brand dream in which a 21st century teenager goes to sleep with a copy of the story during the overture and awakes to face a threatening dragon much larger than the stuffed one his brother taunted him with a few moments earlier.
From there, our hero Tamino falls in love with the portrait of Pamina, the daughter of the secretly evil queen, and sets off to rescue her from the secretly benevolent King Sarastro, who has kidnapped Pamina for her own good. Tamino must win Pamina's hand by undergoing tests, not of strength but of virtue. Right. The strength of "The Magic Flute" is the scamp of a bird catcher Papageno, who never misses a chance to cut up in the tradition of heroes' sidekicks going back to Aristophanes.
The opera, which was written in German rather than Italian and included spoken dialogue rather than recitative, was meant to be accessible to the everyday theatergoer. Buchman is on board with that. He has inserted or rewritten lines in English vernacular and delivered in German that show up in the supertitles as, "I'm out of here!" or "Fighting's not really my thing."
As Papageno is being escorted by a character billed as Second Priest, Papageno asks him chummily, "Second Priest, can I call you Second?" When Pamina describes her mother as sweet, Papageno asks her, "What opera are you in?" When a gagged Pamina asks him to untie her, Papageno looks up at the supertitle for a translation.
Most of the applause at the curtain went to soprano Lisette Oropesa, making her FGO debut as the dewy Pamina, recognizing her passionate declamations of love and heartbreak. Andrew Bidlack's muscular tenor provides a solid presence for Tamino, investing plausibility in his otherwise credibility-stretching declaration of love to Pamina's portrait.
But the real star is Jonathan G. Michie as Papageno, whom Mozart, librettist Emanuel Schikaneder and Buchman gave a license to steal every scene he's in. Dressed like a punk rocker in an electric-teal leather jacket and bewigged in a cross between Steven Tyler's mop and Elvis Presley's pompadour, Michie revels in the sophomoric humor, such as delivering the Mrs. Robinson line to the advances of Papageno in disguise as an elderly woman. He's so funny it's easy to overlook that his full-bodied baritone is perfectly able to deliver the demands of the music.
Not every musical moment landed. Jordan Bisch has a smooth bass as Sarastro, but the orchestra drowned out some of his lowest notes. At least one or more of the three boys portraying the guiding spirits was flat on opening night.
The production values include lavish, fanciful costumes and fluid if simple sets, both rented from the New York City Opera. The queen's headdress has enough sparkling surfaces that the audience's eyes are dazzled as if she were a walking glitter ball. For counterpoint, Pamina wears a 1950s party dress. Tamino spends much of the evening in pajamas and then dons blue jeans and gym sneakers.
For a two-and-a-quarter-century-old classic, FGO turns "The Magic Flute" into a hoot.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rudi DeCeuster, Business Wire's senior director of European business development, died Sunday at his home in Kontich, Belgium.
DeCeuster enjoyed a distinguished career in the news, government affairs, and public relations industries prior to joining Business Wire in July 1999, becoming the company's first European hire.
He was the architect of Business Wire's European distribution network, negotiating many of Business Wire's privileged news agency agreements, including Agence France-Presse. DeCeuster was instrumental in opening up the major channels of communications in many key markets, convincing reluctant news agencies to carry press releases over their networks. As a result of his efforts, Business Wire today maintains the world's largest news distribution network -- and companies and other news sources are able to seamlessly get their message out to audiences worldwide.
DeCeuster also worked closely with the governing institutions of the European Union and leading securities regulators, sharing his expertise and insights with EU officials as they were formulating the Transparency Obligations Directive, which took effect in January 2007. The TOD harmonized pan-European disclosure standards across all 27 Member States.
Prior to joining Business Wire, DeCeuster served as the Secretary-General of the European Alliance of Press Agencies, a consortium of 30 national news agencies during his tenure. He was also the former general manager and chief executive officer of Agence Belga, the Belgian natonal news agency.
A former board member of the World Association of Newspapers, DeCeuster also was a founding member of the European Pressphoto Agency. Earlier in his career, DeCeuster was an executive with Esso (Exxon).
"Business Wire was extremely privileged to have Rudi as part of our Business Wire family," said Cathy Baron Tamraz, the company's chief executive officer. "A consummate professional, he was instrumental in our European expansion over the past 12 years, where he opened many doors for us and always provided wise counsel. Beyond that, he was a true gentleman and dear friend to me and so many others at Business Wire. He will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to his wife, Aline and son, Eric."

OT: James Bond Skyfall Trailer Edit: & Top 5 Bond movies list
I almost wanted to make it Bond vs. Michigan vs. Bama, because I hate to break the streak of M/Ala posts (how wild is it that these two schools are so linked right now?), but it's been a slow.....month? (We need a Hello post, stat). And most of the big summer movies have their trailers come out in the fall, during football season. So no Avengers, Dark Knight, etc. hype/discussion. So, OT, but it's that time of year. Unless we can get another recruit. (Which is still all so ridiculously early for next FEBRUARY). Enjoy; just the teaser-

My 7.5 month old DD just started daycare last week. She'll be attending two days a week, and will be babysat by her grandparents one morning/week. The rest of the time she's with me.
She has only been to daycare once so far, and spent one morning with her grandparents, so I know things might just adjust on their own, but I'd like to hear your experiences and advice anyway.
Here's the deal: Up until 2-3 weeks ago, she would not take bottles reliably (sometimes she would, sometimes she wouldn't, and it was hard to say what made the difference). Then suddenly, while she had a stuffed nose, she accepted it and did reliably since then. So I sent 3 bottles of EMB with ~100ml (3oz) each to daycare on her first day. From what came back, I'd say she drank maybe... 10-20ml, TOTAL. In other words: nothing.
The next morning with her grandparents she had a bit, but not very much.
Did this happen to you? How long did it last? What did you do? What do you recommend?

Aviation Thread
OWS-8 Aviation
Nadine Alameh, Ph.D.
The Aviation Thread of OWS-8 builds on the Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) and Aviation threads of OWS-6 and OWS-7, and seeks to further develop and demonstrate the use of the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) and the Weather Information Exchange Model (WXXM) in an OGC Web Services environment.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and EUROCONTROL have developed AIXM as a global standard for the representation and exchange of aeronautical information. AIXM was developed using the OGC Geography Markup Language (GML) tailored to the specific requirements for the representation of aeronautical objects, including the temporality feature that allows for time dependent changes affecting AIXM features. The overall objectives of the FAA and EUROCONTROL are to use AIXM as a basis for modernizing their aeronautical information procedures and transitioning to a net-centric, global aeronautical management capability. More specifically, AIXM is being used in the net-centric System Wide Information Management (SWIM)-related components of the US NextGen and European Union (EU)'s SESAR programs.
WXXM is the proposed standard for the exchange of aeronautical weather information in the context of a net-centric and global interoperable Air Transport System (ATS). It is currently under development by FAA and EUROCONTROL in support of the NextGen and SESAR programs. WXXM also uses GML tailored to the specific requirements of aeronautical meteorology and is based on the OGC Observation and Measurement Model. WXXM development is harmonized and coordinated with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the organization traditionally responsible for standards in meteorology.
OWS-8 Aviation Objectives
- Development of Guidance for using WFS 2.0 with AIXM
- Applicability of SLD for representing ICAO symbology
- Advancement of Event Architecture
- Architecture of Authoritative Data Source for AIXM Information
- Exploration of compression techniques for AIXM
- Refactoring of AIXM Digital NOTAM Event Specification (DNES)
- Validation of DNES; Audit of WXXM

Building on previous initiatives...
OWS-8 Aviation builds on the outcomes of three previous initiatives. For this reason, the demonstrations will get technical at times. This is because after 3 initiatives, we're truly getting into the unescapable nitty gritty details of the work. Click an area on diagram to launch prior demonstration in new browser tab or window.
However, the work is still centered around the validation and advancements of two information exchange models used in Aviation: AIXM (below) and WXXM (next page).
AIXM (diagram below): based on GML, representing features like runways, taxiways, navigational aids, airspaces and even individual lights on a runway.
Weather Information Exchange Model (WXXM)
WXXM (diagram below): based on GML and O&M, for weather information like TAFs for visibility, humidity, thunderstorms, volcanic ash, etc.
Both AIXM and WXXM models are challenging in handling temporality – tracking and using time-based and time-sensitive information.
OWS-8 Aviation Scenario
- Flight going from Tallin (Estonia) to Hawaii via Chicago.
OWS-8 Aviation Scenario (continued)
- The architecture developed here can aid in the communications and response to sudden disasters, such as the Pacific tsunami event caused by the earthquake in Japan, March 2011.
March 11, 2011: This was the day of a devastating earthquake in Japan, resulting in a tsunami warning in Hawaii. Pilots and dispatchers would get the right information at the right time using our architecture, to avoid landing on a flooded runway.
