Donna Kowallis
and her rescue remember us with a pile of dog food (always, always welcomed), several shovels, which we really needed, and a patio broom which will come in handy.
The BEST present, beside seeing one of our former rescues, all grown up and happy (she was left to roam out in the desert)....is two baby TREES! and the soil to plant them in. What a magnificent surprise, and one that will keep on giving. One has already been planted to give the maximum shade next year.
Thank You so much, and to your husband also, who hauled it all. The surprise generosity of people always blind sides us, we are so used to going it alone.
Thank You forever

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — House committee members want the state to borrow more than $184 million, mainly for new buildings at Mississippi's community colleges and public universities.
However, it remains unclear what Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves will agree to. In 2012, the House and Senate couldn't agree how much to borrow, and the state authorized no new borrowing for the first time in at least 15 years.
The House Ways and Means Committee passed bills Tuesday to borrow $120 million for universities, $25 million for community colleges and $3 million for a statewide community college headquarters. The panel also agreed to borrow $5 million to preserve historic sites and $250,000 to improve the Mississippi Crafts Center in Ridgeland.
Earlier, the House passed a $31 million bond bill for a new medical school building.

A series of cowbells designed and pitched by Horacio Hernandez in accordance to his strict standards.
Intended for set and percussion players, the Horacio Hernandez Signature Foot Clave Cowbell by Pearl features two playing surfaces: flat on one side, and curved on the other. The tone is the same, but the distinctive bi-shaped design will give the player the option of striking the bell directly facing in or on the side (like a timbale player).
The two-position cowbell bracket ensures that the wing-nuts don't get in the way when stacking multiple bells and blocks on one post. Finished in beautifully plated copper, this professional line of cowbells look and sound like no other on the market.

Hi !
First of all, sorry if I make some mistakes, I'm a french speaker
I own a Lenovo for some month now, and I'm completly satisfied with this computer. In Januar, the mainboard burned for a reason that I can't explain. New problems appeared directly after the reparation. Two days ago, I decided tocompletly reinstall Windows 7, after deleting all the memory of the SSD. All functions very well, apart one small thing : the brightness control (fn+Home/End) does not work well. Actually, it does like this :
Increment : 0-4-7-9-10-11-12-13-14-15
Decrement : 15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-6-3-0
It is not a real problem in itself, but it is quite annoying when you want to adjust the brightness confortably...
Thanks !
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Did it use to work without irregular increments before? If so, then verify whether all drivers are installed from lenovo, for instance video, Power Manager/Management, Hotkey Features etc, and not through Windows Update:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-74582.html
Run TVSU alternatively:-http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73695
I have seen it mentioned by another user in L series and Value line board, my guess is that lenovo has changed something for new systems because my T400's on-screen display works fine and doesn't have this behavior.
Hope this helps.

Hi !
Actually my computer worked better in all domains before the mainboard burned and its replacement. I saw that Lenovo made an update of all this things in Januar. That may explain this.
I can't say it is the technician that made a bad work. I think it is a problem of installation and/or drivers.
I did all what you said, but it changed nothing...
I wonder if the problem comes form Lenovo, because a friend's standart T410 doesn't have this problem. And he bought it last year too.
03-07-2011 09:36 AM - edited 03-07-2011 09:38 AM
The OSD on my T400 also works without irregular increments/decrements, as I said I've seen 2 people mention this recently, one in L series forum and other in Value line series forum (I can't find the thread...).
If you've all current drivers from lenovo, then I would guess that lenovo has changed something recently in the OSD that affects only some series.
Maliha (I don't work for lenovo)
ThinkPads:- T400[Win 7], T60[Win 7], IBM 240[Win XP]
IdeaPad: U350Apple:- Macbook Air [Snow Leopard]
I am seriously dishearted by Lenovo's response to this problem.
This is an easy problem to fix; the staff here as well as the technician you called should have easily been able to solve this problem...
Anyhow, I had also had this problem when I did a fresh install of Windows 7 (in an attempt to fix that **bleep** DPC latency problem...) and the solution is quite easy.
Run this .reg file and it will fix the registry for you. Reboot your computer and everything should be working properly.
I posted it on mediafire because I don't think I can upload files here.
Please verify, that the Lenovo - graphics driver is installed and active. The OSD-brightness - issue appears in most cases caused by the driver from Windows update.
- remove driver - but do NOT reboot
- install Lenovo driver
- reboot
- be happy
Hi !
I'm coming a *bit* late but nevermind, I just solved my problem
The .reg files worked perfectly, the incrementation came back to normal, thanks a lot !
.reg files worked for me too!!
Thanks so much, a minor but considerebly annoying problem solved!

Renamed ITT Exelis, company will join others in Tysons Corner
ITT Corp.'s Defense & Information Solutions business segment, which is being spun off as a separate entity renamed ITT Exelis, will establish its headquarters in the Tysons Corner area of Fairfax County, according to a July 18 announcement from the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority.
ITT Defense & Information Solutions will invest up to $5 million to establish its new corporate headquarters following completion of its previously announced spinoff from ITT.
The project will create 100 new jobs over the next three to five years across all of its business operations in the Commonwealth, the FCEDA announcement said.
The Defense & Information Solutions segment already has a strong presence in Virginia with its Information Systems division in Herndon and its Geospatial Systems division in Roanoke.
Virginia successfully competed against Maryland and Washington, D.C., for the project.
The FCEDA worked with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to secure the project for Virginia, including a $100,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to assist Fairfax County with the project.
ITT Corp., of White Plains, N.Y., ranks No. 16 on Washington Technology's 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

It may have been a long time in the making, but work is expected to begin next month to improve Ottawa Street between 13th Terrace and 17th Street.
It may have been a long time in the making, but work is expected to begin next month to improve Ottawa Street between 13th Terrace and 17th Street.
Leavenworth Public Works Director Mike McDonald said the section of Ottawa will be torn up and rebuilt. The street will be widened in the process, and curbs and gutters will be added.
Utility companies have been working in the area to relocate utility lines.
McDonald said most of the utility work should be completed during the next couple of weeks.
The road improvement project is expected to begin around May 15, and the work could last five months.
"I hope it will be done sooner," McDonald said.
He said people should not expect to be able to drive through the area during the construction, but residents who live on the section of Ottawa Street will be able to get to their homes.
McDonald said the existing roadway is narrow, and there are no sidewalks, even though a number of children walk in that area. That section of Ottawa is near David Brewer Elementary School.
"It's got bad drainage," McDonald said of the street.
He also said the street has poor connections to residential driveways in the area.
A number of years ago, city officials identified Ottawa and Shawnee streets as east-west streets that needed attention.
"Ultimately, we focused our resources on Shawnee Street, and it took a while to get that all together," McDonald said.
He said Ottawa Street kept getting pushed to the back of the list of city projects.
But, the project finally was budgeted for this year in the city's Capital Improvement Program.
The bid for the construction work was awarded to Linaweaver Construction, of Lansing, during Tuesday's Leavenworth City Commission meeting.
Linaweaver's bid of $705,653 was the lowest of six bids submitted to the city.
All of the bids were less than an engineer's estimate of $990,131.
McDonald said he was surprised the bids were so competitive.
"This is a project that has been long in coming," Commissioner Larry Dedeke said Tuesday.
Dedeke said he made the motion to approve the Linaweaver bid in honor of the late Marguerite Strange, who had championed the project when she was a city commissioner.

text: Many using Windows 8 use Outlook 2013 to send and receive email. While Outlook 2013 isn't too hard to configure, most people using a major Internet Service Provider (for example Comcast in the USA) will find that their test emails fail. This is because most ISPs block the SMTP port 25, the usual port for sending email. I spent a couple hours banging my head on the desk trying to get Outlook 2013 on Windows 8 to send and receive email with my IPSConfig servers. Here's what finally worked... Technical background information: 1. Dedicated Servers running CentOS 5.6, 5.7. (Those are old distros so I imagine anything running 6.x or greater will still function the same). 2. ISPConfig 2.2.x running Postfix 2.3.3. Any newer version of Postfix should be fine. To get your Postfix version: Code: ]# postconf -d grep mail_version 3. Windows 8 64 Bit running Outlook 2013. 4. Comcast Internet Service USA, allowing incoming mail on port 110 and secure outgoing mail on port 465. 5. I am using my server IP addresses as incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. If your server is already running a functional mail server as mail.mydomain.com or as hostname.domain.com, you should probably use those FQDNs. 6. IMPORTANT: I am assuming you have already setup an email user account in ISPConfig for your domain, for example: [email protected]. In ISPConfig 2.x, you'll get a username with that process, for example web10_myusername and the password you entered will be your email password. Optional Configuration: Proper DKIM and SPF records will help your email reach major service providers like Yahoo, Hotmail, Live, and Gmail. You can find HowToForge's instructions on Setting Up DKIM here. An SPF record (Sender Policy Framework) is simply a TXT DNS record for your domain that allows receiving servers to confirm your mail server's identity. You can learn more about SPF records here. A common SPF record that seems to be acceptable to Yahoo, Gmail, and email testing services is: "v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:184.108.40.206 -all" (without quotes in the actual entry), making sure that you have a rdns record setup for your server. Substitute your server's main IP for 126.96.36.199 in the example. Postfix Configuration Changing Postfix to listen on Port 465 is fairly easy. If you must use Port 587 or any other port, please search HowToForge.com for posts about listening on non-standard ports. Port 465 is listed as "smtps" (SMTP secure) in Postfix master.cf. To make Postfix listen on Port 465 using smtps, do the following to edit your master.cf file: Code: ]# vi /etc/postfix/master.cf Look for the following line and uncomment it: Code: #smtps inet n - n - - smtpd to Code: smtps inet n - n - - smtpd Save and quit VIM, then restart Postfix: Code: ]# /etc/init.d/postfix restart Test Postfix from your Windows 8 Computer Before proceeding, make sure you can Telnet to your server on port 465. If Postfix is running on your server and you can NOT reach it on Port 465, your ISP might be blocking this port. To test port 465 from your Windows 8 desktop: 1. Open the cmd prompt. 2. Type "telnet" and hit Enter. 3. If you don't get a "Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client" message, you may have to install Telnet first. Follow instructions here. 4. At the Microsoft Telnet command line type: Code: o [mail.domain.com or server IP or domain name] 465 Then hit Enter. Your server IP should work if mail.domain.com or domain.com fail. The IP is IPv4, for example 18.104.22.168. If this fails, your ISP might be blocking 465. Alternatively, your server might not be listening on Port 465. Before calling your ISP, open a SSH connection to your server, login, and enter the following command, where 18.104.22.168 is your server IP: Code: ]# telnet 126.96.36.199 465 If no command "telnet" exists, install telnet and try again: Code: ]# yum install telnet If you receive the following greeting, your server is listening on port 465 correctly: Code: Trying 22.214.171.124... Connected to hostname.domain.com (184.108.40.206). Escape character is '^]'. 220 hostname.domain.com ESMTP Postfix Otherwise, you might have a problem with your Postfix Configuration. Please view your mail logs to see what errors are being reported. If everything looks good on your server, your ISP might be blocking port 465 and you'll have to use a different port. Please search HowToForge.com for information about using a different port. Configuring Windows 8 Outlook 2013 to Send and Receive Email from Your ISPConfig Postfix server I'll assume you are beginner (like I was) and explain everything step-by-step. If you are an expert user, just skim through the following to setup your account. 1. Open Outlook 2013. Click the "File" menu. You'll see a few large icons in the middle of the screen. Click "Add Account". 2. Look at the bottom of the configuration window that pops up. Select "Manual Setup or Additional Server Types", then click "Next". 3. The next screen lists the type of mail server you use. Select "Pop or IMAP", then click "Next". 4. The next screen is important and asks for detailed configuration information. Take it one entry at a time. a. Your Name - Enter the name you want others to see when they receive your email, ie. "Joe Smith" or "ABC Company" b. Email Address - Enter your email address EXACTLY as you programmed in your ISPConfig control panel, ie. [email protected] c. Account Type - Select "Pop3". d. Incoming mail server & Outgoing mail server - You should enter your server's entire FQDN: host name or mail server. A hostname would look like: host.domain.com , while a mail server is typically mail.domain.com . You can also use your server's main IP, for example 184.108.40.206 . The IP should suffice if all else fails. e. If you use different addresses for incoming mail versus outgoing mail, enter the correct address in the corresponding place. f. In the "Logon information" section, your username is what you programmed inside the ISPConfig control panel for your domain, for example web10_myusername . Your password is the password you setup for this username. g. Check "Remember Password" box for convenience so Outlook will automatically load your email each time it opens. Otherwise, if you do not check the box, you'll be asked for your password prior to sending/receiving email each time. h. Look for a box on the right side of the window called "More Settings...". Click this box to produce another pop-up window. i. The General Tab comes up first. You can enter your name, email address, or server name in the "Mail Account" space. "Other User Information" is optional. j. Click the "Outgoing Mail Server" tab. Click the check box "My Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" k. This will allow you to edit the next section. Select the box "Log on Using", then enter your username web10_myusername in the Username space and your password in the Password space. Click the "Remember password" box or else you'll be asked to enter your password every time email is sent. l. Click the "Advanced" tab. Look at the "Server Port Numbers" information. This looks confusing but go one-by-one. m. Incoming server (POP3): enter "110". n. Do NOT check the box "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL). o. Outgoing server (SMTP): enter "465". p. Select the "Use the following type of encrypted connection" menu and set to "Auto". q. The rest of the advanced section can be edited to your preferred settings. Allow a little extra time for the "Server Timeout" (at least 1 minute). r. Click "OK" at the bottom of the pop-up window to close "More Settings". s. Under the "Test Account Settings" section of the "Add account" window, click "Automatically test account settings when Next is clicked". t. Now click "Next" at the bottom of the window. Outlook will attempt to login to your account using the settings you provided. You might get prompted about the validity of your server certificate. For the time being, ignore the warning and proceed with the test. (If a valid certificate is critical to your server operation, please follow instructions on HowToForge.com about creating a certifcate using StartSSl here - note these instructions are for Debian and NOT CentOS, but the procedure should be nearly the same.) If you get a connection error, double check that you've entered your email address correctly on the "Add account" page and "More Settings - My Outgoing Server Requires Authentication" section. Next, Outlook will send a test email to your account. If you receive an error, double check the following: 1. Your outgoing mailserver in the "Add Account" window is correct, exactly as you programmed in ISPConfig. Double check ISPConfig's DNS section to make sure your MX record and corresponding A record are present. Test your domain's DNS for free at www.dnsstuff.com . 2. In the "More Settings" menu, make sure "My outgoing server requires authentication" is checked. Also, the "Log on" circle is selected, with your exact username and password entered. 3. In the "More Settings - Advanced" Menu, make sure your incoming server POP3 port is 110. Make sure your outgoing server port is 465. Finally, make sure you select "Auto" from the type of encryption drop down. If all else fails, contact your ISP (in my case Comcast) to make sure they are not blocking ports 110 or 465 by mistake. Then, check that your mail server is functional and accepting connections on those ports. Good Luck!

Ireland moved a step closer to a referendum on gay marriage next year after Deputy Prime Minister Eamon Gilmore publicly backed the proposal.
The Labor Party leader also told the Irish Independent that a public vote on same sex weddings could proceed without government backing.
Gilmore made the remarks after reports at the weekend that PM Enda Kenny wants the vote to go ahead with a free vote for members of his party.
The Irish Independent reports that Gilmore's backing comes as he continues to push a liberal agenda for the Labor Party after the abortion bill.
It says the Government's own constitutional think-tank voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage earlier this year.
Gilmore has followed Kenny's lead and aditted it would be possible for the Government to take no position on the referendum.
This will ease the concerns of Fine Gael deputies already reeling from a number of defections on the abortion legislation vote.
Gilmore said: "That is something that might well arise. It's something we haven't given a great degree of consideration to. In any event, the Constitution is the people's property."
Labor deputies have been ordered to vote in favour of the abortion legislation currently going through the Irish parliament even though many of them are opposed to it.
Gilmore also said a referendum on multiple subjects could possibly be held next year.

- Fleshlight USA
Pink Butt with Speed Bump inner texture
The Butt opened the door (back door, that is) Go where you've never gone before. Let your most erotic desire be fulfilled. Our Butt orifice, unlike the Mini-Maid orifice, lets you see the point of insertion, allowing you to experience the joy of entering your partner's most forbidden area. Take this one slow at first and allow the tight opening to hug you tightly as you penetrate inward.
Speed Bump Fleshjack Masturbation Sleeve
The Speed Bump is more intense than the Wonder Wave, but less than the Super Ribbed. The texture of the Speed Bump is a repeating pattern of small bumps all evenly spaced along the length of the 1/2" (13 mm) diameter canal. This gives the user a consistent sensation of dozens of tiny tips gently massaging your penis as you glide in and out. The added height of the bump makes it the tightest of the textured inserts, measuring slightly under 1/2" (13 mm). Jokingly referred to by our users as the "Tunnel of Love".
What Comes With This Product?
- Orifice: Butt
- Case: Black Case Included
- Sleeve Color Pink
- Sample Lube Pillow-Pack. (good for one use)
- Canal Diameter: 3/4 inch
- Canal Texture: Speed Bump
- Length: 10 inches
- Diameter: 4 inches to 2.5 inches
How do I use the Fleshlight?
Warm your Fleshlight Sleeve by removing it from the case and running warm water through the sleeve for about 5 minutes. Do NOT boil or microwave your sleeve! Shake off the water and re-insert the sleeve into the Fleshlight Case, adjust the tightness of the cap at the bottom to control the suction, and finish by applying a liberal amount of Lubricant to the orifice and yourself. If the Fleshlight still feels too cold to you, then next time try warming the lube in the sink/tub at the same time as the sleeve. Your Fleshlight product is now ready for use.
What is the best way to clean my Fleshlight product after use?
Simply rinse your removable Fleshlight Sleeve with warm water from your sink and allow time for it to dry before storing. Do NOT use soap to clean your SuperSkin Sleeve. For tough cleaning, we suggest using our Fleshwash, specifically formulated to clean our sleeves. To maintain that soft feel, sprinkle a liberal amount of Fleshlight Renewing Powder on the sleeve and shake off the excess powder. We do NOT recommend the use of talcum or baby powder. NOTE: Powdering an Ice Fleshlight masturbation sleeve with anything other than Fleshlight Renewing Powder or corn starch will cause it to cloud over and lose its clear "ice" quality.
Can I use my Fleshlight products in the shower/tub?
Yes, you can use the Fleshlight in the shower/tub. In fact, we offer the Fleshlight Shower Mount to make your experience even more enjoyable. While there is no problem with soaking the Fleshlight sleeve in water, make sure soap does not come in contact with the removable masturbation sleeve. The soap may damage your Fleshlight sleeve.
Is this product built to last?
Our soft, pliable, non-vibrating Real Feel Super Skin® sleeve is made from a patented, high-quality material designed to replicate the sensation of penetrative sex. The molded sleeve comes housed in an attractive and sturdy canister that resembles an ordinary flashlight, allowing for simple and discreet storage. It's easy to use and clean, and is 100 percent safe. With proper usage your Fleshlight will give you a lifetime of enjoyment!

In my opinion, Buffalo Bill Days was a big success.
In my opinion, Buffalo Bill Days was a big success. I was busy with family things like a soccer match and a birthday party during most of the day Saturday, but I did get to work in our Artists' Association booth Saturday evening and I would say that it was a wonderful event with good attendance.
I especially liked the footprint of the event which was laid out in Haymarket Square and in the empty lot to the east.
Only one street was closed and since it has no stores located there, it is usually a seldom used street anyway and it was perfect for the outhouse races.
They were well attended with people packing both sides of the street. The centrally located restrooms were especially beneficial, too.
It is amazing to think that Leavenworth had two big events going on at the same time in almost the same place on the same weekend. Main Street had their barbeque contest and fair right next to Fourth Street which served to attract people who were just driving through town and may not have seen the Buffalo Bill Days activities just a block or two to the west.
While they were different from each other, I think that it worked out well enough.
The food at Hay Market was plentiful with vendors selling all sorts of favorites, but I limited myself to a tasty Italian sausage and to a couple of dill pickles. The lines were pretty long at most of the food booths, so I hope that everyone made a decent profit and will be back next year. I know that there is already a committee forming to plan for next year.
Personally, I don't need my music really loud, but I can say that there was plenty of it from several venues and I enjoyed it.
The main stage area was packed after the outhouse races were over and people either sat around or stood and visited while the bands played.
There was also plenty of food and beverage being handled all evening, too.
I did not stick around long enough to see if people were going to dance, but there was plenty of space in front of the stage for dancing.
The way I understand it, all of the performers were non-paid volunteers as were the vendors and food booths. One benefit of not having to pay a booth fee, is that everyone could keep the prices down a little bit and still make more profit. I know that my Italian sausage was a good deal for the cost that I paid being probably half of what I would have to pay at a major sports venue.
And having volunteer music groups did not mean that the entertainment was not of high quality.
Everything that I listened to was tops and I assume that the large crowd was a good indication that they thought that the performers were top-notch, too.
I really enjoyed visiting with several of the artists and making valuable contacts for future ideas and events. For me, making these contacts was the most valuable part of the party.
Generally speaking, I think that the vendors enjoyed the affair and I think that the good vibes means that the word will go out that Buffalo Bill Days is a worthwhile venture and something to look forward to next year. Of course, the weather had everything to do with attendance.
It always does, but the quality of the whole event will at least give people the desire to come back again next year.
In the meantime, Buffalo Bill Days continues on the third weekend in September with the bicycle rides on Saturday and the downtown races on Sunday.
Come on down and enjoy the activities in downtown Leavenworth.

Google has committed to the Holo design guidelines for all things Android, and is constantly working on tweaking and improving apps and services within those guidelines. One could argue that already, the next evolution of Holo is being established right before our very eyes. Post-Google Now Holo has a distinct look over the Holo introduced with Ice Cream Sandwich. Cards, white spaces, soft gray backgrounds and frosted transparent layers are just a small sample of recurring elements in the new Holo. Thanks to a leaked .apk, this week we're getting a special look at how Google Play for Android is being transformed post-Google now.
Both Droid Life and Android Police have secured .apk files of the next version of Google Play, version 4.0. The most current release is 3.x, so as you'd expect, there are a ton of visual and functional changes in the new Google Play. Right now, the .apk files floating around aren't exactly fully functional, and there are bound to be some changes before an official release (which we're assuming will happen at Google I/O with the next version of Android), but they still offer a great look at what we can expect.
The first thing you'll notice in the pictures and hands-on video of the new Google Play is that it looks exactly like Google Now. Apps, movies, books and magazines are all neatly organized with white cards on a light gray background. They even feature the same menu button located near the top right of each card.
Another big change is the action bar. There's some sort of hideous texture to it (we very highly doubt this will make it into the final version), and it's now color coded for different types of media. Before, there were just colored highlights and sometimes text. Speaking of text, there's a much wider variety of styles used now. Big bold words, light italicized words; it directs your attention well.
As far as functionality goes, there have been some welcome changes. The post-install screen, with that annoying, "keep shopping," button, is gone, and auto-updates are opt-out, not opt-in. Changing accounts from the, "my apps," section is easier now too.
Overall, the new Google Play app for Android looks fantastic. If you thought that the current version of Google Play was an improvement over the old Android Market, just check out the video below. We can't wait to see what else Google has done with Android at Google I/O.

Nashville, Tenn. - Tennessee State University men's basketball head coach Travis Williams announced the final additions to the men's basketball support staff on Wednesday. Miguel Brady, Chuck Davidson, Gus Fraley and Josh Cooperwood join the Big Blue staff this season.
"I think it is very important to have a good support staff," said Williams, who is entering his first season as the Tigers head coach. "I am excited to add these outstanding individuals. They are vital to the success of the program."
Brady, a 2012 graduate of Tennessee State, has been the video coordinator for the TSU men's basketball program since 2007. This year, the Nashville native transitions to the role of Director of Basketball and Video Operations.
In this capacity, Brady will oversee aspects of the men's basketball program's administrative duties as well as team travel, academic progress, on-campus recruiting, film editing, and summer camps.
Davidson is the Assistant Director of Basketball and Video Operations. He will assist Brady with all aspects of team travel, academic progress, on-campus recruiting, film editing and summer camps.
For the past two year, Davidson worked at Baylor as a graduate student. His daily job requirements included checking classes, assisting in practice, editing film, and aiding assistant coaches with scouting reports.
Davidson is a 2009 graduate of Roger Williams University, while he completed his master's degree from Baylor this spring.
Fraley joins TSU after spending the past four seasons as the assistant boy's basketball coach at Chapel Hill High School in North Carolina.
A native of Lincoln County, Tenn., Fraley will be TSU's Director of Player Personnel, making sure that all of the men's basketball student-athletes are progressing in the classroom as well as making progress in the weight room. Fraley graduated from the University of North Carolina in June 2011.
Cooperwood returns to TSU as a student assistant coach after spending the past eight seasons as a professional athlete overseas. Cooperwood was a star for the Tigers' men's basketball program from 2001 until 2003. He then launched his professional career with the Windsor Drive in Canada.
From there, Cooperwood played with 11 different teams before ending his professional career with the Saba Caspian Meher in Iran. He averaged 17.1 points, 5.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds in his final professional season.
Cooperwood will provide valuable insight to the current Tigers after spending four seasons as a collegiate athlete.

Our Two Cents
The EXO-400 Spectral helmet from Scorpion is one of the hardest working, best performing helmets out there. It has well thought out components that work well without too many gadgets adding to weight. When you consider the price point, you'll like it even better. The graphics are cool (I like the chameleon effect) and the finish is well done.

Europe's large hubs struggle as the small ones disappear
The European hubs are the weakest structurally because airlines there face the most low-cost carrier competition and greater pressure in some of their long-haul markets due to the Persian Gulf carriers. Nonetheless, the big European airlines believe they have found ways to stabilize.
Structural problems at these hubs are not only the result of competition. "Short-haul-to-short-haul hubs are pretty disastrous," says John Strickland of London-based JLS Consulting. A brief look back indicates how fast things have changed in little more than 10 years. Former Swiss carrier Crossair used to operate a "regional hub" connecting European 50-seater markets in Basel, quite an absurd thought nowadays. Air France once tried something similar in Lyon or even Clermont-Ferrand and Bordeaux. And smaller hubs such as Vienna and Warsaw are struggling to keep operating, while many others like Milan-Malpensa have disappeared.
Strickland believes it is high time for European airlines to recognize that they "can't be all things to all people." Instead they should "focus on high-frequency thick routes," even for hub feeder traffic, he says.
Operating a large base like London Heathrow Airport does not necessarily lead to better protection. British Airways has long pulled out of a lot of the European secondary markets. It could do so without jeopardizing its important long-haul operation because the local London market is big enough to sustain long-haul flying with much less feed than elsewhere. Lufthansa, KLM, Swiss International Air Lines, Iberia and (to a degree) Air France do not have that luxury.
"You can no longer operate long-haul without feed," says Avinomics founder Philip Goedeking, an expert in network planning.
Airlines that have acted can expect some results. "At best, the situation stabilizes at an uncomfortable level, as hub carriers fight back," says Markus Franke, head of Franke Aviation and Transportation Consulting. "Capacity has been taken out of loss-making markets, smaller aircraft like 50- and 70-seat regional jets are on their way out, if they have not already been retired, improving the average unit cost of the remaining fleet. On the other hand, trunk route frequencies have been increased to protect these attractive markets and airlines are often willing to accept compromises as far as yields are concerned."
Hubs continue to evolve. Lufthansa has redesigned its main base in Frankfurt to reflect new market realities. "The system is very much geared toward short-haul-to-long-haul connections," explains Alexis von Hoensbroech, vice president of network planning at Lufthansa. "Short-haul-to-short-haul has been superseded because of low-cost carrier competition. It has become less and less valuable to us."
Lufthansa's main hub still offers intra-European connections, but rather than being carefully planned, they are mostly coincidental by-products of a system serving long-haul traffic. Seventy-five percent of the Frankfurt capacity (in available seat miles) is deployed to long-haul routes.
Lufthansa operates a four-bank system in Frankfurt, but it is in the process of introducing a fifth and making some of the bank peaks higher to improve connectivity. It plans to add long-haul services to its afternoon peak, which is currently the only predominantly short-haul-to-short-haul one.
Since Frankfurt is a relatively small origin-destination market, Lufthansa needs feed even on short-haul routes, though it must minimize losses in the sector. To do this, the airline is decoupling high-frequency services from the hub logic. Markets such as Hamburg, Berlin, Munich or London are served so often on any given day that Lufthansa has stopped bothering about optimizing connectivity in Frankfurt. These markets are run for efficiency and, with a fourth runway and more slots available now, there is some potential to actually achieve that. Low-frequency markets still have to be put in synch with long-haul operations, however, in order to be economically viable.
Von Hoensbroech forecasts that there will be further structural changes for hubs, as the "winner-takes-all" paradigm is felt. Wherever two airlines operate parallel hubs at the same airport, the bigger carrier grows faster over time and the smaller carrier tends to shrink, as witnessed at Chicago O'Hare International Airport with United Airlines and American Airlines.
Hub carriers also grow more quickly than the airlines serving them from elsewhere, and the hubs continue to align for alliance membership. "It is becoming increasingly difficult for us to fly into hubs of competing alliances," von Hoensbroech concedes. That challenge will be felt in particular in Charlotte, N.C., where US Airways essentially owns the market and is switching from the Star Alliance to Oneworld (as a result of its merger with American), leaving Lufthansa and its other former Star partners without feed.
Von Hoensbroech expects the Sao Paulo market to become less of an issue (with TAM leaving Star for Oneworld) because the local market is so big that alliance members are less dependent on connections.
The dominant hubs are only becoming more dominant because airlines are becoming less liberal on interlining deals that have historically opened their networks to competitors at relatively attractive terms. "That approach is being questioned more and more," von Hoensbroech says.
Goedeking argues that airlines should allocate more revenues generated in short-haul-to-long-haul connections to the shorter sectors, which have very high unit costs but are necessary. The costs are high partly because of the legacy structure built up over decades, but partly almost by definition. Short-haul flying is less efficient in terms of fuel burn, airport charges and bank structures. "But the economies of scale are still very powerful," Goedeking says.
Air France still has significant short-haul flying built into its Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) hub, but the bank system is arranged in such a way that are short-haul-to-short-haul connections unattractive. In any given bank, short-haul services are the last to arrive and the first to depart. Narrowbody aircraft can be turned around more quickly than widebodies, but scheduling sometimes means that low-yield short-haul passengers will have to wait for the departure sequence of the next bank because some connections are simply too short to make.
Six Air France banks at CDG are steered by a network planning group that is also in charge of KLM's Amsterdam operation. The hub is heavily geared toward short-haul-to-long-haul connections. The first morning peak, P1, mainly includes inbound long-haul and short-haul services; the late-morning departure bank, P2, is focused on North American flights; whereas the P3 peak from 1:30 p.m. includes flights to North America and Africa as well as the corresponding European feed.
Air France has split operations for long-haul and CDG-based short-haul services as well as the point-to-point flying from around France as well as Paris Orly Airport.
Iberia, currently the most troubled of the large European airlines in spite of its inclusion in International Airlines Group (IAG), has tried to retain its European feed to the extent possible and transferred it partially to lower-cost affiliate Iberia Express. Its hub-carrier peers are watching closely for lessons on battling high costs. Iberia Express's cost advantage mainly stems from its low pay scale for flight crew and higher productivity, but the airline is still tied to the broader Iberia bank structure that would make it inherently less efficient.
The strategy is apparently paying off. Even though its fleet is just a fraction of the size of the mainline carrier's, Iberia Express has managed to achieve 20% lower unit costs and remain profitable.
A few airlines have outsourced the hub feeder flying. Not many others have gone as far as outsourcing hub feeding. FlyBe Nordic, a joint venture with FlyBe, is operating Finnair's Embraer E-Jets. Lufthansa has decided to move the non-hub short-haul flying to its lower-cost subsidiary Germanwings, but wants to retain the hub feeder flights for now to ensure product consistency and appease its pilot union.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R.-Florida, said he opposes a plan that would give Gulf coast states 80 percent of the fines stemming from the 2010 oil spill because the other 20 percent will be cut up and spent elsewhere, a position that drew loud applause from a crowd in this Gulf coast city that was hit by a drop in tourism during and after the spill.
The Senate voted in March to approve directing 80 percent of the fines to restoration in five Gulf Coast states. The House passed a similar version and the differences still need to be worked out. Rubio said he hopes the House changes the bill so that all the money goes to Gulf states.
"Senators from other states come to us and say, `Well, we'll go ahead and pass this bill where we'll let you keep some of the BP oil spill money, but only if you agree to allow us to get some of that money for the Great Lakes, for California, for other parts of the country that have nothing to do with the oil spill,"' Rubio said.
He called that idea ridiculous and said part of the problem with Washington is that other members of Congress are trying to get their hands on the expected billions of dollars that BP PLC will pay in fines.
"If the fine is due to an oil spill that happened in the Gulf, why is any of that money, why is a single penny of that money going to some other part of the country? So people came to me and said, `Well that's just the way things are here. You're just gonna have to accept that. You're just gonna have to go along with it, otherwise no one's going to get anything,"' Rubio said. "I can't accept that. I feel like the minute I start accepting that kind of stuff is the minute I become like them."
The crowd at the event hosted by the Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce gave him extended applause.
Rubio was the only senator from any of the Gulf states to oppose the provision that's part of a larger transportation bill. Overall 22 senators, all Republicans, voted against it.

A minor, but important, change to the terms of service:
The change was due to a number of people coming to Dhamma Wheel in recent times advocating the use of illicit 'recreational' drugs. The clause gives us the administrative justification to remove threads promoting drug consumption as well as other illegal activities.Any subject matter that may be off-topic or is intended only to cause disruption or harm to others may be removed without notice. This includes the badmouthing of other Buddhist discussion forums and this includes no active links to sites that permit gossip and negative views towards other Buddhist forums, trolling, meta-discussion (i.e. discussion about discussion), unsubstantiated allegations against members, solicitation of funds, proselytizing, and the advocating or promotion of illegal activity.

Orange pastor's office ransacked over weekend
A pastor in Orange reported he was the victim of a weekend theft at his church, Full Gospel Holy Temple in the 1400 block of Ninth Street, just after 7 a.m. Saturday morning. Police say the burglary occurred sometime overnight from Friday evening to Saturday morning.
The burglar apparently entered the church through a window on the southwest corner of the building, then forced entry into the pastor's office, causing damage to the door jamb, according to the report. The suspect got away with approximately $20 in change and a set of cuff links. The pastor did not wish to pursue charges. Police are still investigating the crime.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, June 4 (UPI) -- Missiles from a suspected unmanned U.S. aircraft struck a compound and a vehicle in North Waziristan, killing more than a dozen people Monday, officials said.
Pakistani officials said the drone fired two missiles at the compound and a truck in the village of Hassu Khel, killing 14 to 16 people, The New York Times reported.
A witness said the compound was being used by Uzbek, Tajik and Turkmen militants fighting for the al-Qaida affiliate Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
The attack in the North Waziristan tribal agency, a safe haven for al-Qaida and Taliban along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was the eighth strike since the NATO summit in Chicago ended two weeks ago without agreement on reopening NATO supply lines through Pakistan.
Pakistan barricaded supply routes in November after U.S.-led coalition airstrikes killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Negotiations have been stymied over transit fees, the Times said.
Dawn News reported Monday the United States has agreed to reimburse $1.8 billion in military aid payments, about 75 percent of the amount demanded by Pakistan.
The two sides have two weeks to reach agreement on the supply line issue because the U.S. Congress requires two weeks' notice to review any new arrangement before the July 4 recess.
Peter Lavoy, a senior Pentagon official, was expected in Pakistan this week as part of an effort to break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, current OpenMoko GUI running on GTA01 is exactly opposite - every icon tap causes lag, busy indicator isn't too reliable and user experience is hit by overall slowness. As we know, much less powered machines (like 7MHz Amiga with Workbench and even 1MHz C64 with Geos) had enough resources to provide rich and usable user interface. I mentioned PalmOS some time ago - it executed programs in-place so most apps started literally in half a second. Question to FIC Team an/or other embedded developers: is it possible to speed up OpenMoko GUI responsiveness by a factor of 10 or the guilty is too-multi-tiered architecture of Xorg/GTK/Matchbox set? If with GTK/Matchbox we cannot achieve such rich, fluid and, erm..., fluid GUI as iPhone, maybe it's not too late to drop GTK and choose other framework, designed for mobile devices and running quick framebuffer operations? GameBoy provided nice full-screen animations in 1989, eighteen years ago. I'm 100% sure nobody will cry after pure-X11 applications we loose this way. Almost every GTK application would require rewriting/porting to fit OpenMoko capabilities, so it's not great loss too. Not to mention font and other DPI-aware issues. If OpenMoko will be judged as "poor's man iPhone look and feel", it won't be attractive ever. To attract public attention we need at least one demo application which can animate elegant GUI with colorful widgets (e.g. album covers) as nice and smooth as we saw at iPhone commercials. If it cannot be done, it will be hard to advertise Neo, because youtube screencasts is today primary way people become acquainted with new device's user interfaces. -- Tomek Z. tomasz.zielinski at gmail.com

Zinc is an important trace mineral that people need to stay healthy. This element is second only to
Zinc is found in cells throughout the body. It is needed for the bodys defensive (immune) system to properly work. It plays a role in cell division, cell growth, wound healing, and the breakdown of
Zinc is also needed for the senses of smell and taste. During pregnancy, infancy, and childhood the body needs zinc to grow and develop properly.
Recent information from an expert review on zinc supplements showed that:
- When taken for at least 5 months, zinc may reduce your risk of becoming sick with the common cold.
- Starting to take zinc supplements within 24 hours after cold symptoms begin may reduce how long the symptoms last and make the symptoms less severe.
Food Sources
High-protein foods contain high amounts of zinc. Beef, pork, and lamb contain more zinc than fish. The dark meat of a chicken has more zinc than the light meat.
Other good sources of zinc are nuts, whole grains, legumes, and yeast.
Fruits and vegetables are not good sources, because the zinc in plant
Zinc is in most multivitamin and mineral supplements. These supplements may contain zinc gluconate, zinc sulfate, or zinc acetate. It is not clear whether one form is better than the others.
Zinc is also found in some over-the-counter medicines, such as cold lozenges, nasal sprays, and nasal gels.
Side Effects
Symptoms of zinc deficiency include:
- Frequent infections
Hypogonadismin males Loss of hair Poor appetite Problems with the sense of taste Problems with the sense of smell
- Skin sores
- Slow growth
- Trouble seeing in the dark
- Wounds that take a long time to heal
Zinc supplements in large amounts may cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting, usually within 3 - 10 hours of swallowing the supplements. The symptoms go away within a short period of time after the stopping the supplements.
People who use nasal sprays and gels that contain zinc may have side effects such as losing their sense of smell.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamins reflect how much of each vitamin most people should get each day. The RDA for vitamins may be used as goals for each person.
How much of each vitamin you need depends on your age and gender. Other factors, such as pregnancy and illnesses, are also important. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you
Dietary Reference Intakes for zinc:
- 0 - 6 months: 2* milligrams per day (mg/day)
- 7 - 12 months: 3* mg/day
*Adequate Intake (AI)
- 1 - 3 years: 3 mg/day
- 4 - 8 years: 5 mg/day
- 9 - 13 years: 8 mg/day
Adolescents and Adults
- Males age 14 and over: 11 mg/day
- Females age 14 to 18 years: 9 mg/day
- Females age 19 and over: 8 mg/day
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins and minerals is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods.

Beach Umbrella Alternative: Teepee Love
I recently spotted this Cath Kidston teepee for Free People and instantly fell in love. There aren't a lot of these big enough for adults (you can make one yourself) but they're great alternatives to the boring beach umbrella. Smaller ones are fun for make believe/private time in a kid's room or backyard. Take a look and maybe add this traditional tent to your summer play.

Re-enactors from Poland headed to Gettysburg for battle's 150th anniversary
GETTYSBURG, Pa. -- After surviving one of the American Civil War's pivotal battles 150 years ago, the Pennsylvania borough of Gettysburg once again faces invasion.
The community about 125 miles west of Philadelphia is readying for as many as 4 million visitors during its commemoration of the clash between Union and Confederate forces in July 1863, and the landmark presidential speech in November of that year as the war raged.
"In 1863, we had more than 165,000 uninvited guests come to town -- at least this time around, we got the chance to plan," Randy Phiel, a commissioner of surrounding Adams County, said in an interview. "This is our Olympic moment."
The anniversary of the war's bloodiest battle, coupled with the Oscar-winning 2012 movie "Lincoln," will bring Piotr Narloch and five pals from Krakow, Poland, to help reenact part of the fighting. The commemoration has tour operators and travel sites touting the borough of about 7,600 residents as one of this year's top destinations, according to Carl Whitehill, a spokesman for the Gettysburg Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"We've been planning for this anniversary for several years and we're hoping things go smoothly," Whitehill said. "But 4 million is a pretty substantial number for a town of our size."
The estimated 15,000 Civil War reenactors on hand this year, while smaller in number compared with the millions of tourists, will stand out with their rifles, pitched tents and campfires on farms near the battlefields. They'll include Narloch and his Polish friends.
The group will travel 5,000 miles to stage the July 2 Culp's Hill assault by the 14th Louisiana Infantry Regiment, a Confederate unit largely composed of Polish immigrants. They'll join other history buffs at the Bushey Farm outside Gettysburg starting June 27.
"It will be my great honor" to represent those who tangled with Union soldiers in the July heat, Narloch said by email. "We can't wait to see the thousands of reenactors, hundreds of horses and cannons at Gettysburg."
The epic battle began as Confederate forces under Gen. Robert E. Lee invaded Pennsylvania during the war's third year. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was beaten back by the Union's Army of the Potomac led by Gen. George G. Meade, a Pennsylvanian. Meade defeated a desperate charge by Gen. George Pickett's men on the last of three days of fighting, which left more than 50,000 combatants dead, wounded or missing.
One recreation will use almost 70 cannons, according to Thomas Alexander, a retired Maryland police officer who leads the Confederate artillery for reenactments planned on two farms north of Gettysburg. To prepare, Alexander said he has studied the terrain to position the guns for engagements such as the Union advance into the Wheat Field and the Confederate flanking move at Little Round Top, both on the battle's second day.
"We're trying to make sure it represents, as closely as possible, what took place while giving spectators a chance to safely see the action," said Alexander, a member of the 2nd Maryland "Baltimore Light" Artillery. "It takes a lot of time and planning to get it right."
Assembling an historically accurate uniform and gear, including a rifle, can cost as much as $2,500, said William Coe, whose namesake ancestor was among Gettysburg's casualties.
Reenactments provide living history, said Coe, who portrays Sergeant William W. Coe in the 21st North Carolina Infantry. Coe, 53, said he moved near Gettysburg from Cinnaminson, New Jersey, in December 2011, to be close to where his namesake was wounded in the charge up Cemetery Hill.
The men in the recreated units come from across the U.S. and 16 nations, including Britain, France, Sweden and Romania.
David T. O'Daniel, a member of the 69th Pennsylvania "Irish" Volunteer Infantry Regiment, will be growing out his gray beard and dyeing it red so he can more accurately resemble Color Sgt. David Kinairy, who carried one of the unit's green battle flags during the third day of combat.
"I'll be going to Gettysburg to fight the rebels and stack them like cord wood, because that's what we do," O'Daniel said in an interview. "We're the Irish," he said, displaying a green-and-blue tattoo with the unit's crest.
O'Daniel is a descendant of Cyrus O'Daniel, a corporal in the regiment known as the "Rock of Erin." He helped repulse Pickett's Charge and was wounded in the attack. Other members of the reenactment unit will arrive at Bushey Farm a week early, to prepare the field, according to Scott Eller, a paramedic and a group leader.
"They will be building a historically accurate replica of the stone fence at Cemetery Ridge," said Eller, who portrays an officer. Tickets to see the reenacted battle, at sites miles from the Gettysburg park, are $10.
"Historic places like Gettysburg are still archeological sites and must be protected," said Katie Lawhon, a National Park Service spokeswoman. Earlier reenactments churned up the battlefield so much that the Park Service banned them, she said.
Events such as recreated fights are among the attractions expected to draw millions of tourists to the Gettysburg area over the four years of the war's sesquicentennial, generating almost $2 billion in economic activity, according to the tourism agency. In November, ceremonies will mark the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's famous speech at a battlefield cemetery.
To accommodate visitors, the National Park Service has set up a $1.2 million computerized system of electronic billboards to direct drivers to open lots as others fill, Lawhon said. Shuttle buses will bring people to the 6,000-acre park, where volunteers spent months rebuilding fences and clearing brush.
The terrorist bombings at the Boston Marathon in April have Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, Pennsylvania State Police troopers and local law enforcement taking extra steps to ensure security, said Joe Dougherty, Gettysburg's police chief. Tourists can expect a "heightened uniform presence," he said.
To help cover the anniversary's costs, Pennsylvania lawmakers let Adams County, where Gettysburg is the county seat, increase a lodging tax to 5 percent, said Phiel, the county commissioner. With almost all of the area's 2,600 hotel rooms reserved for the anniversary, the room tax will help, he said.
Almost a quarter of Gettysburg's residents live in poverty, compared with 13 percent statewide, while just 7.8 percent of the county's residents are poor, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The borough's median household income averaged $39,500 over five years through 2011, compared with $57,100 for the county and $51,700 for all of Pennsylvania.
When the guns fall silent and tourists depart, Gettysburg may face a big overtime bill, said Dougherty, whose 13-officer department has canceled vacations from June 27 to July 7.
"We simply won't know until it's over how much it cost," Dougherty said.

In Focus: Barbara Carr, executive director, SPCA Serving Erie County
The nation's second-oldest humane society has witnessed dramatic changes over the past 146 years in the way animals are sheltered, adopted and treated.
At a time when a number of SPCAs in the region have been the focus of controversy, the head of the SPCA Serving Erie County sees a bright future for her organization. Executive Director Barbara Carr sat down with The Buffalo News' Brian Meyer. Here is a summary of some key issues covered in an interview that is part of the weekly "In Focus" series.
Meyer: How have the controversies [at other area SPCAs] affected operations here... as it relates to adoptions, donations, perceptions, et cetera?
Carr: Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that think that the SPCA is one huge organization and they're just different branches or different members or whatever. Actually, we're all separate, private not-for-profit organizations. We do the same work, but we're not the same actual organization. So there are those people who think that we are part of the controversy, when in fact we've actually been helpers in all of these controversies ...
Meyer: Do people react by not giving you as much money?
Carr: Yes, we have seen our donations go down a little bit last year during all of this controversy. I've had people call and accuse us of being part of all of this. ... On the other hand, there have been an awful lot of people who've said, "Thank you so much for helping out. We're so glad that the Erie County SPCA could be there to help these other organizations."
Meyer: You've made some headway as it relates to the "no-kill" concerns [not euthanizing animals that can be adopted].
Carr: We have for years and years ... been doing really a great job when you compare us to other Rust Belt cities in keeping the numbers [of euthanasias] down ... of keeping the numbers of adoptions up. But in the last five years, we've been really excited to be the recipient of a national grant to help us get all the way to zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. When we started with the Maddie's Fund grant five years ago, our baseline year ... all the [local] organizations worked together, we came up with our numbers, and we found that there were about 1,800 euthanasias five years ago of healthy animals or treatable animals. That number is well below 50 in the past year, and we're only in the third year of the grant. We have five years to reach zero, and we're going to reach zero way ahead of anybody...
Meyer: There are still major problems with stray animals, particularly cats. You're well aware of the fact that there was a trial balloon floated in City Hall not long ago about the possible licensing of cats. Is it something that makes sense?
Carr: It's totally unrealistic, and every place that it's been tried in the United States, it's a monumental failure of resources – resources that could be used to actually address the problem of community cats. There are two sides to the issue. There's one side that there are too many of them. You certainly want to manage their numbers by good spay/neuter programs in your community. But if you had none, if you had no community cats, let's think about that for a minute. What would our community look like if there were no community cats?
Meyer: You're talking about the rodent problem?
Carr: Oh my goodness. I mean, this is why we have cats. If you go back thousands of years, why did we want to live with cats? Because they protected us from infestations of rodents. They do a tremendous, tremendous job. If we didn't have community cats, we would be overrun with mice and rats. So there's a balance we need to follow.

Trinity Copeland sentencing postponed
TROY -- A judge postponed Trinity Copeland's sentencing until next week because the prosecutor was not available Tuesday.
Copeland, 19, was to learn her fate for shooting and killing her father, Harlan Copeland, two years ago.
She faces 25 years to life in prison when she is sentenced June 4 by Judge Andrew Ceresia.
On April 23, the former Troy High School student was found guilty of second-degree murder after a five-day trial in Rensselaer County court.
Prosecutors said she shot her father in the head with a .22 caliber rifle in July 2012 because he was going to discover she had stolen money from him.
Assistant District Attorney Shane Hug was out of the office on Tuesday, so sentencing was postponed until next week.

I have seen some of those mechanisms. Some attached to a drill.
