Hungry Minds believes that each and everyone in our community is valuable in the success of the organization. As part of our core values, we aim to promote "bayanihan" or community effort, not only to our students but to our entire community.
This is what our Malolos parents did when they came together to pool efforts into repainting all the rooms of the Hungry Minds Malolos school building. Even a month before the actual work at the end of October, Social Workers organized parents who responded to the challenge of wanting a brighter environment for their children.
After learning that Hungry Minds needed volunteers to repaint the school, Tatay Adriano went directly to Hungry Minds School after working in a night shift. According to Tatay Adriano, he is very grateful to Hungry Minds and this is his way of showing his gratitude.
They say no one is too rich not to need anything, and no one is too poor not to be able to give anything. Indeed, each Hungry Minds child has a reason to be proud of his/her parents' contribution to this effort. This is truly bayanihan in action!


Hey there. Will Sabel Courtney here for Drive Wire on November 4th, 2016.
Today on Drive Wire: Fiat Chrysler has announced its Mopar aftermarket division will offer kits that allow buyers to swap modern-day Hemis into classic cars.
Mopar is offering the Hemi swap kits for both the 5.7-liter and the 6.4-liter V-8s. The package is designed to make it easy for customizers to jam the engines into pre-1975 Chrysler products, such as Dodges, Jeeps, and Plymouths.
FCA showed off the 5.7-liter V-8 swap kit in the Jeep CJ66 concept at the SEMA show in Las Vegas this week.
The kit, which includes oxygen and temperature sensors, an unlocked ECU, a power distribution system, and a bunch of other goodies designed to ease the complicated process of sliding a 21st Century engine into a 20th Century platform.
And at $1,795, it's surprisingly cheap. But keep in mind, that doesn't include the new engine.
Sadly, there's no Hellcat swap kit offered yet. But who knows what tomorrow will bring?
That's it for Drive Wire on November 4th, 2016. I'm Will Sabel Courtney; thanks for watching, and please check out The Drive for more on the big stories from the transportation world.


As the caretakers of the Divine Parents, Pandora/Marius lead this coven of vampires that have a lingering respect for human life, based on the lore behind the Anne Rice books as well as some from Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles.
Barter, trade, and profit. We're business-centric vampires, and as such we absolutely must keep up our appearances and keep our true nature hidden, except from those we trust.
CoD runs several player ran establishments within their territories and often acquire more territories in various places, expanding their empire. We also own several establishments that are associated with other guilds we run, such as the RBG of Umbra or the Order of the Draco or the Cult of the Fallen.
CoD managed to keep some of its old properties in East Britain, and has since added to them in a town we now call "Cindervale" because the trees in Felucca look like they have been burnt off their leaves.
Cod maintains a small apartment complex called Forest Circle Apartments that are available for lease.
A recent addition to CoD's long list of territories, we have officially become a "FRANCHISE" by opening up taverns in various areas. The tavern will function as the main hangout of the RBG.
CoD also engulfs a sister guild that was created to rival their own characters called "The Order of the Draco". Encompassing a a newly formed city of 12 buildings called Winterhaven, it is located just east of Luna, outside the walls near the mountains.
Characters that join our guild, join as Lawful Good and we will battle "evil" guilds as part of our lore. Some basic PvP skills are needed to survive.
Players may join their (vampires, half-breeds, lycans, warlocks/witches, and trusted mortals are also accepted) role-playing characters to CoD and join all their characters to CoD or CoD-managed guilds.
Openly recruiting any laid back role players that show an interest in supernatural lore.
Yes, absolutely if they have interests in Role Playing.
Laid Back. We allow OOC game play and communication. During RP events, we do ask folks to stay in character and avoid using OOC language.
Event Wars happen as part of our theme for a set duration or a set number of kills.
Dice Roll for All Co-Mingled Events.
be loyal to your guild; guild first, allies second, everyone else third.

Q: Why is it necessary to add redundant trait bounds even though my trait uses those same traits as bounds? I have been trying to code a trait which requires a type to implement Add (and further down the line other operations for vector spaces) with itself as well as among its references. The following is a small example, illustrating the problem I ran into:
use std::ops::Add;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyVec<T>(Vec<T>);

impl<'a, 'b, T: Copy + Add> Add<&'a MyVec<T>> for &'b MyVec<T> {
    type Output = MyVec<T::Output>;
    fn add(self, other: &'a MyVec<T>) -> Self::Output {
        /* ... */
    }
}
impl<'a, T: Copy + Add> Add<MyVec<T>> for &'a MyVec<T> {
    /* ... */
}
impl<'a, T: Copy + Add> Add<&'a MyVec<T>> for MyVec<T> {
    /* ... */
}
impl<T: Copy + Add> Add<MyVec<T>> for MyVec<T> {
    /* ... */
}

trait Addable: Add<Self, Output = Self>
where
    Self: Sized,
    for<'a> &'a Self: Add<Self, Output = Self>,
    for<'b> Self: Add<&'b Self, Output = Self>,
    for<'a, 'b> &'a Self: Add<&'b Self, Output = Self>,
{
}

impl<T: Copy + Add<Output = T>> Addable for MyVec<T> {}

fn add_stuff<'a, 'b, T: Addable>(x: &'a T, y: &'b T) -> T {
    x + y
}

fn main() {
    let v = MyVec(vec![1, 2, 3]);
    let w = MyVec(vec![2, 4, 6]);
    println!("{:?}", add_stuff(&v, &w));
}

*

*I use the newtype pattern to create an alias of Vec so I can implement a foreign trait (Add) on a foreign struct (Vec).

*I implement Add for MyVec and its references. The associated type Output is always the (unreferenced) MyVec. The latter three impls are implemented in terms of the first.

*Addable is the central trait that I want to demo. Things that are addable should allow themselves and their references to be added with the result being Self. Particularly, in add_stuff I want the expression x + y + x to be valid where x + y gives a non-ref which can be added with x (which has not been moved out of, because it's a ref) to produce another non-ref.

*I don't get any complaints from the compiler regarding the implementation of the Addable trait on MyVec. Specifically, the compiler seems to recognize that the above impls satisfy the bounds in the where clause.

However, I get the following compiler errors:
error[E0277]: the trait bound `for<'a> &'a T: std::ops::Add<T>` is not satisfied
  --> src/main.rs:33:1
   |
33 | / fn add_stuff<'a, 'b, T: Addable>(x: &'a T, y: &'b T) -> T {
34 | |     x + y
35 | | }
   | |_^ no implementation for `&'a T + T`
   |
   = help: the trait `for<'a> std::ops::Add<T>` is not implemented for `&'a T`
   = help: consider adding a `where for<'a> &'a T: std::ops::Add<T>` bound
   = note: required by `Addable`

error[E0277]: the trait bound `for<'a, 'b> &'a T: std::ops::Add<&'b T>` is not satisfied
  --> src/main.rs:33:1
   |
33 | / fn add_stuff<'a, 'b, T: Addable>(x: &'a T, y: &'b T) -> T {
34 | |     x + y
35 | | }
   | |_^ no implementation for `&'a T + &'b T`
   |
   = help: the trait `for<'a, 'b> std::ops::Add<&'b T>` is not implemented for `&'a T`
   = help: consider adding a `where for<'a, 'b> &'a T: std::ops::Add<&'b T>` bound
   = note: required by `Addable`

This can be fixed by amending the add_stuff function with a where clause as suggested by the compiler:
where
    for<'c, 'd> &'c T: Add<&'d T, Output = T>,
    for<'c> &'c T: Add<T, Output = T>,

I do not understand why this is necessary. I thought by specifying a bound in the definition of the trait I could rely on that bound being met for any type that implements that trait? Having to add these where clauses every time sort of defies the whole point of my Addable trait.
Googling brought up this GitHub issue which I don't understand fully but which might be related? That would suggest this is indeed a bug in Rust (which hasn't been fixed for a very long time).

A: You've hit a shortcoming of the Rust compiler as it currently is. RFC 2089 proposed to make it work as you expect, and was accepted in December 2017.
However, as of today, the feature isn't implemented. The tracking issue for the implementation hasn't seen much activity yet, so it appears implementation hasn't even started. It appears that some fundamental improvements to the compiler's trait bound handling are necessary before this particular feature can be efficiently implemented (search keyword: chalk).

Film Review: 'Dead Water'
A tepid and predictable low-voltage thriller that strikes dim echoes of much better movies.

Some low-voltage thrillers are so thoroughly predictable as they meander toward an obvious outcome, they generate far more impatience than suspense. Exhibit A: "Dead Water," a tepid VOD-ready melodrama that strikes faint echoes of Roman Polanski's "Knife in the Water" and Phillip Noyce's "Dead Calm" while ponderously padding 60 or so minutes of plot to feature length. Time and again, you may find yourself thinking, "Come on, come on, let's get going." And if you're in the privacy of your home, well, thoughts may inspire irritably spoken words.
It doesn't help much that director Chris Helton provides little in the way of distinctive visual stratagems or subtly ominous subtext during the long setup for his tale of a weekend yacht cruise that turns deadly. (Indeed, there is barely any text here, much less subtext, and none of it is subtle.) And it doesn't help at all that, as the host of the excursion, Casper Van Dien is so transparently sleazy from the get-go, you wouldn't be surprised to spot at any point in the proceedings a mop-and-bucket brigade cleaning up slime in his wake.
Van Dien is John Livingston, an aggressively gregarious fellow who, despite his apparent tendency toward binge drinking, has prospered sufficiently as an orthopedic surgeon to afford an impressively appointed 75-foot Lazzara luxury motor yacht. By coincidence, he purchases the vessel shortly before David "Coop" Cooper (Griff Furst), his late brother's best friend, is discharged from the Marines after a few harrowing tours of duty in Afghanistan.
John appears deeply concerned as Coop struggles with anger management and other PTSD issues, especially after Coop overhears two guys in a bar making rude comments about Vivian (Brianne Davis), his beautiful TV news reporter wife, and expresses his disapproval nonverbally. So John suggests that his buddy might benefit from some therapeutic downtime on the open water by accompanying him to the Virgin Islands, where they can pick up the yacht and take their sweet time traveling home. And oh, yeah, Vivian can come along for the trip as well.
Naturally, nothing good comes of this.
To give them fair credit, Helton and scripter Jason Usry make a game stab at ratcheting up tension with some sexually charged, semi-Pinteresque byplay among the three lead characters as they drink too much, talk too long and, most important, push too hard during card games and physical challenges. Around the halfway mark of the movie, however, we're introduced to a fourth character, Sam (Judd Nelson), a scowling Mr. Bad Vibes who emerges onto the deck of a fishing boat named Usual Suspects (no, really) with a scraggly beard, a bloody gash above his eye, and no apparent reason to exist other than making life difficult for at least one or two people on the yacht. Which, of course, he does.
As bad as "Dead Water" might seem while you're watching it, it's even worse when you when you replay it in your mind after the fact, and pay stricter attention to holes in the plot and gaps in the logic. Really, the most satisfying things in the movie are the payback Brianne Davis' Vivian delivers to a would-be assailant, and the assailant's inadvertent role in neatly wrapping up the storyline. It should be noted, though, that the storyline is so thin, "Dead Water" actually continues a few minutes after it concludes.
Casper Van Dien,
Chris Helton,

Doug Williams, Mike Alstott join Bucs' Ring of Honor
A roundup of news from the NFL on Thursday
Doug Williams, Mike Alstott join Bucs' Ring of Honor A roundup of news from the NFL on Thursday Check out this story on delawareonline.com: http://delonline.us/1bTaFpV

Giants' wideout Odell Beckham has been chosen for the cover for EA Sports' Madden 16.
The Cowboys are bringing back special teams ace Danny McCray after losing Dwayne Harris to the New York Giants
TAMPA, Fla. – The first quarterback to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the playoffs, and a key player from the franchise's only Super Bowl winner are the newest members of the team's Ring of Honor.
Doug Williams and Mike Alstott will be inducted during separate ceremonies next season, joining Hall of Famers Lee Roy Selmon, Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp, as well as John McKay, Jimmie Giles and Paul Gruber in having their names displayed permanently in the upper deck at Raymond James Stadium.
Williams was a first-round draft pick out of Grambling in 1978 and led the Bucs to the NFC championship in his second season, a quick and startling turnaround for an expansion club that began its existence with 26 consecutive losses in 1976 and 1977. He left the team in a bitter contract dispute in 1983, spending two seasons in the USFL before returning to the NFL and winning a Super Bowl title and MVP award with the Washington Redskins.
In all, Williams led the Bucs to three playoff appearances in five years. After his departure, Tampa Bay posted 14 consecutive losing seasons before making the postseason again in 1997.
"Doug Williams' time with the Buccaneers ended much too soon, and all Buccaneers fans have lived with this pain ever since," Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer said.
In addition to serving as a head coach at Grambling and Morehouse College, Williams worked in Tampa Bay's front office from 2004-2009 and is currently a personnel executive with the Redskins.
He's also struck a relationship with Bucs rookie quarterback Jameis Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in last month's draft. The Bucs picked the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner after determining he not only has the potential to be a star, but is ready to leave behind a history of missteps off-the-field.
Williams got to know Winston while attending several banquets after the quarterback won the Heisman. He's impressed with his game, as well as his ability to handle being in the spotlight.
"I believe in him as an individual, as a young man. I think everybody makes mistakes, whatever the mistakes are," Williams said.
"Last night I came to town, the first guy who called me was Jameis Winston. For an hour and a half, he sat with me (in a restaurant) and talked and ate wings, It says a lot about him," Williams added. "There's two young guys I've seen that handle the public and the (microphone), and that's LeBron James and Jameis Winston. He's got charisma coming out of his ears."
Alstott was a second round draft pick out of Purdue in 1996 and became one of the most popular players in team history over 12 seasons. He's the franchise leader in total touchdowns (71) and rushing TDs (58) and his 5,088 yards rushing rank second on the club's career list.
He, Sapp, Brooks and John Lynch formed the foundation of a roster former coach Tony Dungy transformed from the laughingstock of the league into perennial playoff contenders. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection known breaking tackles and wearing down defenses late in games.
"While they played in different eras, they defined what it meant to be a Buccaneer," Glazer said of Alstott and Williams. "They were winners on the field, and they left their mark on this franchise and this community, long after their playing days were over."
Alstott will be honored at halftime of Tampa Bay's Oct. 4 home game against Carolina. Williams will be added to the Ring of Honor when the Bucs host Atlanta on Dec. 6.
Giants: Fans often compare Odell Beckham's one-handed grabs to plays only possible in video games. Now they're handing the Giants receiver the cover of football's biggest console franchise.
The second-year wideout who gained national attention with a spectacular one-handed catch and plethora of team records in 2014 has been chosen for the cover for EA Sports' Madden 16. He is the first Giants player to make the video game's cover.
The cover shows Beckham making a one-hand catch, similar to the one he made against Dallas during the season.
Beckham beat out New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski for the honor in a fan vote conducted by EA Sports.
Some players who have graced the Madden cover have struggled the following season, spurring the fan myth of the "Madden curse."
Despite missing four games with a hamstring injury in 2014, Beckham had 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Cowboys: The Cowboys are bringing back special teams ace Danny McCray after losing Dwayne Harris to the New York Giants in free agency.
McCray, who signed a one-year deal Thursday, spent his first four years in Dallas as an undrafted free agent in 2010. He played in Chicago last season.
The 27-year-old McCray is also a backup safety but was second in tackles for an injury-plagued Dallas defense in 2012. He made all 10 of his career starts that season.
McCray is sixth in Cowboys history with 73 special teams tackles.
The Cowboys also signed tight end Geoff Swaim, a seventh-round pick out of Texas, and rookie free agent linebacker Donnie Baggs of Texas A&M.
Dallas waived linebackers Keith Smith and Will Smith.
Falcons: The Atlanta Falcons have added a possible new starter to their offensive line by signing former Redskins tackle Tyler Polumbus.
The 6-foot-8, 308-pound Polumbus started 42 of his 47 games during four years with the Redskins. He also has played with Denver and Seattle.
Polumbus will rejoin former Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who now holds the same job in Atlanta under new coach Dan Quinn. Polumbus worked out for the Falcons on Tuesday.
The Falcons have Jake Matthews returning at left tackle and currently list Ryan Schrader as their starting right tackle. Polumbus is expected to compete with Schrader and Sam Baker for a starting job.
Polumbus originally signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent from Colorado in 2008. He spent two years with the Broncos.
Jaguars: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Ben Koyack, a seventh-round draft pick from Notre Dame, has signed his rookie contract.
Koyack is the fourth of the team's eight draft picks to sign rookie deals, following first-rounder Dante Fowler Jr., fellow seventh-rounder Neal Sterling and fourth-rounder James Sample.
Koyack played in 50 games at Notre Dame, finishing his career with 44 catches for 532 yards and five touchdowns. He started all 13 games as a senior, totaling 30 receptions for 317 yards and two touchdowns.
Koyack was the sixth tight end drafted by the Jaguars and the first since 2009.
He will compete for a backup spot with the Jaguars, who have high-priced free agent Julius Thomas and veteran Marcedes Lewis entrenched on the roster.
Lions: The Detroit Lions have signed free agent defensive end Corey Wootton to a one-year contract.
Detroit announced the move Thursday. The Lions also promoted Lance Newmark to director of college scouting, Cedric Saunders to senior vice president of football operations and Scott McEwen to senior personnel executive.
Wootton joins the Lions after playing 15 games for the Minnesota Vikings last season. He had 16 tackles — 11 solo — and one sack. He spent the previous four seasons with the Chicago Bears and had a career-high seven sacks in 2012.
Seahawks: Backup Seattle Seahawks running back Robert Turbin underwent offseason hip surgery, but is expected back in time for the start of the 2015 regular season.
The team confirmed Turbin underwent the surgery on Thursday but did not detail what was repaired or a recovery timeline.
Turbin is entering the final year of his rookie contract with the Seahawks and has been the main backup for Marshawn Lynch since being drafted in 2012. Turbin has made three starts, all last season, and has rushed for 928 total yards. Both of his NFL touchdowns have been receiving.
With Turbin sidelined, former second-round pick Christine Michael should get the bulk of the work during organized team activities and June's minicamp as Lynch normally doesn't ramp up his activity until training camp.
Steelers: The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed fifth-round pick Jesse James.
The team announced Thursday that James, a tight end out of Penn State, has agreed to a four-year contract. Terms were not disclosed.
The 6-foot-7, 261-pound James caught 78 passes for 1,005 yards and 11 touchdowns during his career with the Nittany Lions. His touchdown total is a school record for tight ends.
James, who grew up in suburban Pittsburgh, is the fifth of the Steelers' eight draft picks to sign. Pittsburgh has yet to agree to terms with first-round pick Bud Dupree.
Titans: The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with fourth-round pick Jalston Fowler and fifth-round pick David Cobb, bringing six of their nine picks under contract.
The Titans announced the deals Thursday.
Cobb was the 138th selection overall out of Minnesota, and the native of Killeen, Texas, played in 34 games and he ran for a school-record 1,626 yards last season with 13 touchdowns.
Fowler was the Titans' second selection in the fourth round at No. 108 out of Alabama. He played in 53 games in his career at fullback, running back, tight end and H-back. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry with five touchdowns in his career.
Cardinals: The Arizona Cardinals have signed free agent inside linebacker Darryl Sharpton to a one-year contract.
The 5-foot-11, 245-pound Sharpton has played five seasons in the NFL, the first four with the Houston Texans and last year with the Chicago Bears.
He has appeared in 47 games, 21 as a starter.
The Cardinals also signed second-round pick Markus Golden and fourth-round selection Rodney Gunter to four-year contracts Wednesday.
Golden, a defensive end from Missouri, was the 58th overall pick. Last season, he had 78 tackles, 10 sacks, three fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles in 13 games.
Gunter, a linebacker from Delaware State, was the 116th overall selection.
Bengals: The Bengals signed tight end C.J. Uzomah of Auburn on Thursday, leaving three of their draft picks under contract.
The fifth-round pick played in 49 games at Auburn, catching 29 passes for 435 yards and seven touchdowns.
Sixth-round pick Derron Smith, a safety from Fresno State, and seventh-round pick Mario Alford, a receiver from West Virginia, also have agreed to deals.

Can ANYONE Knock the #1 New England Patriots from the top spot? With only three teams left that's unbeaten its beginning to look like the Patriots have a good chance to run the regular season table for a second time. If they do, can they close the deal this time? Oh WAIT we are only halfway thru the season and still have eight games left to play…. Will it matter?
When you look at the Patriots record and consider they are the defending super bowl champions, you think ok it looks like they are going to win another back to back and this time they will do it undefeated and they just might. BUT if you dig a little deeper you have to ask yourself has the Patriots really been tested? The eight opponents they have face thus far this season have a combined 28-39 record and only 2 of their 8 opponents (#8 NY Jets & #10 Pittsburgh Steelers) having a winning record with both just one game above .500. So for now the answer would have to be a resounding NO.
New England has already won the title for the most #1 ranks this season at 10 weeks to 0 for the rest of the NFL. So much for that.
Elsewhere in the WOYSM NFL Top 15, week 9 saw another undefeated team fall, the #4 Denver Broncos lost their first game of the season, losing at Indianapolis 27 to 24, in a game QB, Peyton Manning would more than likely have rather came away on top probably more than any other game this season. Even though the Colts came away with a huge win they also suffered a huge loss, QB, Andrew Luck will be lost for 2 to 6 weeks with an abdominal tear and Lacerated kidney. 40 year old QB, Matt Hasselbeck will get his third start of the season and is 2-0 thus far, faring much better than all other backups have this season. The rest of the backups that have played in 2015 are a combined and dismal 4-18.
Undefeated #2 Cincinnati is looking better and better each week and could be the match the Patriots have YET to face. Also undefeated #3 Carolina also though they haven't looked pretty, they have been effective. Both teams starting QB's (Andy Dalton & Cam Newton) are having banner seasons and have looked very impressive.
Moving up in the poll are #5 Minnesota and #6 Arizona both teams slid past #7 Green Bay who suffered their second straight loss after losing to the undefeated Panthers at 37 to 29 in Charlotte, NC. The Cardinals were off this week while Minnesota defeated #11 St. Louis 21 to 18, The Rams fell three positions, to that slot due to the loss. After the Packers, the City of New York has back to back teams in the top 10 with the eighth ranked Jets and the #9 NY Giants who defeated Tampa Bay 32 to 18.
The #10 Pittsburgh Steelers and #13 Oakland Raiders swapped positions after the Steelers defeated the Raiders at home 38 to 35.
After the Rams, #12 Atlanta reeling from losing 3 of their last four games fell from ninth after losing to lowly San Francisco 17 to 16 and#14 Buffalo moved up from 15th after knocking off Miami and taking their slot, defeating the Dolphins handily 33 to 17, Miami fell from the top 15 after the loss.
Moving back into the poll for the second time this season taking advantage of the Dolphins loss, #15 Seattle has looked better as of late. The Seahawks were idle this week and the first team this season to move into the poll without so much as lifting a helmet.
28 and 39 with only 2-teams boasting a winning record? If My Sports Mind didn't know better I consider and also accuse New England of bullying. Maybe that's another gate we can stick on the Patriots GOOD name. Bullygate and you heard it here first. Not to mention they beat up on my wounded, wheel chair wielding Cowboys (May they RIP) in week #4. Playing a schedule like the Patriots have enjoyed CAN and in most cases has come back to haunt teams and My Sports Mind feels the same will likely happen to the Pats. Maybe the Giants will do it to them again this weekend.
Speaking of MY Cowboys, now 2-6-0 and already two games worse than all of last season. I can't help but think since we have taken it this far, why not take it all the way….
Did I say the word TANK? Of course not. But since the subject HAS been brought up and the fact that aging Dallas QB, Tony Romo, often injured is getting NO younger, wouldn't this be a great time to go ahead and enter the DRAFT DERBY?
My Sports Mind see's this young rebuilt Cowboys team that was rebuilt around an aging QB in Romo in need of just one more piece to the puzzle that could send the team into another decade of dominance and that's a YOUNG franchise QB to go with them. Just a thought mind you 😉 .
Cincinnati and Carolina have both looked great with a slight edge to the Bengals, ONLY because Panther QB, Cam Newton has had little support and is being forced to do too much and he will wear down before the season is over you can mark My Sports Mind on that.
Minnesota could be ready to challenge the Packers for the division crown with the two teams tied and Green Bay suffering from a two game losing streak, the Vikings are looking up to the challenge as of recent. Arizona has been a mainstay in the top 10 all season and will definitely be around come the post, especially since NO ONE seems good enough in the NFC West to take them out, unless the Rams can improve.
When you look at the rest of the WOYSM NFL Top 15 you only see mediocre teams going by their records and performances on the field this season. Even super bowl runner up Seattle hasn't looked near the team they were the last two years, so My Sports Mind cannot see any of them becoming much of a postseason threat UNLESS it is the Seahawks.

The Pennsylvania Inquirer publishes certain statistical information of the above city, from which we extract the following. In 1857, the mean temperature for the whole year was 51 01' ; 1856 being but 51 20', the average of the whole year differed but a part of a degree from the preceeding. In 1856 there fell 43-92 inches of rain, while in 1857, 42-20 inches fell—a decrease of over one inch. The quantity of gas made in the three works belonging to the city was 470,000,000 cubic feet. A MAGNIFICENT clcctrical machine has been constructed in Boston for the University of Mississippi. i 147 [For the Scientific American.] The Malt House Ruins. On the 2d of December last, a new malt house in Bethune street, in this city, fell, and was the cause of two men, who were working in it, losing their lives. As this accident necessarily led to an investigation as to the cause of the catastrophe, various opinions were expressed by the witnesses examined, and some of them contradicted one another. As it involves important questions in architectural engineering, the following article on the subject, will be found deeply interesting, not only to merely scientific, but to all practical men :—EDS. What was the cause of the "accident"? Were the floor beams or the posts at fault ? Upon this point the builders who testified before the Coroner did not agree. An investigation into the strength and strain may decide the question. First, of the floor beams. Experiments made to test the strength of hemlock when exposed to a cross strain, (as is the case with a floor beam,) show that 363 pounds is the weight that will break a piece one inch square and olTc foot long—the weight being at the middle. This is the average of seven experiments. From this unit of strength the resistance of beams of any size may be computed, by the well-known laws of pressure. The floor beams in question were 4 X 12 inches, and about 18 feet long ; they were placed 18 inches apart from centers. To break one of these beams it would require, upon the above data, 11,616 lbs. at the middle, or twice this amount if equally distributed over its length, which is equal to 860 lbs. upon every superficial foot of the flooring on the beams. This is the breaking weight. What was the load ? Barley weighs about 35 lbs. per cubic foot. The barley on the floor appears to have been from four to five feet deep. The weight, therefore, per foot superficial, could not have been more than about 175 lbs.—equal to about oi)e-fifth'of the weight required to break the beams. The barley might have been raised to the hight of 24 feet upon the floor before the beams would have broken. Hence it is clear that the barley, being only five feet deep, could not have broken the beams. Yet one of the builders testified "that the size and quality of the beams used in that building were positively insufficient." In regard to the comparative value of pine and hemlock, experiments show that pine will bear only. seven or eight per cent more than hemlock ; yet one of the witnesses testified that it would bear 150 (1) per cent more, and another witness subscribed to this, and these witnesses were both practical builders. The unit of strengtl derived from several experiments on the three kinds of wood, spruce, hemlock and pine, are respectively 345, 363 and 390 lbs. Yet one witness said : "I consider spruce as strong as pine, but hemlock I look upon as insufficient." This witness was correct, however, as regards the elasticity of pine, for experiment shows that pine will suffer a greater deflection without injury than either spruce or hemlock, and it requires a greater load to deflect it through an equal space. Now the posts. These were of red cedar, and of various sizes, those in the second and third stories being from five to eight inches diameter at the smallest end. They were in their natural shape, and some of them so crooked that the largest perfect straight post that could have been sawed from them would have been about 9X5 inches, or, at the most, 3! X 5! inches. This is the effective size, the length nine feet. Now what weight is required to break such a post ? Experiments have been made to test the strength of oak, chestnut and locust posts, but not of red cedar. The latter is, probably, stronger than either oak or chestnut, but not locust, although it may be nearly as strong as the latter wood. It requires to bend white oak 6,950 Ibs., chestnut, 7,720 pounds, and locust, 10,920 Ibs. In each case, this unit of strength is the average of several experiments, and is the ight required to bend a post one inch square and one foot long. There is reason to presume that the strength for red cedar is below 10,000, but let it be assumed at this. Upon this data, a post of red cedar, 3! X 5! inches, and 9 feet long, will require 29,113 lbs. to bend it from a straight line, and something more to complete the fracture. Each post in the building supported about 200 feet superficial of the floor; therefore the 29,113 lbs. is equal to about 140 Ibs. upon every foot of the floor. It has been shown above that if the barley was 5 feet deep, there was a weight of 175 lbs. upon each foot of the floor. This, together with some 25 lbs. for weight of floor timbers, &c., was quite sufficient to break a post of the size stated. From this computation, and the fact that a broken post was found in the ruins, we may safely conclude that the want of size in the posts was the cause of the failure. The posts should have been at least six inches diameter, and perfectly straight at that. R. G. HATFIELD, Architect. New York, December, 1857. Patent Jobs-Commencement of I,obby Operations. We see that the Chaffee patent is again before Congress, on a petition presented by Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, for its further extension. This may be regarded as the inauguratory operation of the lobby for the session, and the precursor of a host of other jobs of a more or less profitable kind. The presentation of the Chaffee petition is a proof that the Congressional engineers are already at work. and they count upon making a brilliant and profitable campaign of it. The amount of corruption that will be brought to bear on Congress during the present session will, we believe, be greater than has ever before been known. The results of the Matteson and Gilbert investigation, instead of checking the evil, have given it a greater impulse and extension. The re-admission to the floor of the House of the parties expelled for participation in that disgraceful affair has satisfied the lobby men that they have nothing to apprehend from the tone and temper of the present Congress. The profligate bargain by which the spoils connected with the public printing have been portioned out amongst some half dozen political partisans, with the concurrence and assistance of members, is pretty conclusive evidence of the way in which the public interests will be sacrificed. Never before was the lobby so strong, and never were its opportunities for plunder so numerous. These patent extensions are in themselves an inexhaustible mine of wealth to the lobby speculators, Besides the Chaffee interest, there are some three or four others, such as the McCormiok reaper, the Colt's pistol and Hay-ward india rubber extensions, which are sufficient to make the fortunes of all concerned in them. In addition to these, there are land jobs and other fat pickings, from which trading politicians, starving journalists and idle lawyers can all glean something. Uncle Sam's estate may be compared to an Irish patrimony—it is entailed for the benefit of the hungry and needy. Under such circumstances, it is of course useless to remonstrate against the injustice of patent monopolies and the perpetuation of the numerous other jobs that are certain to be carried through this session. Corruption is in the ascendant, and the lobby all-powerful. When the country is tired of seeing its most precious interests bartered away by an organized band of blood-suckers who are fattening upon its entrails, it may perhaps think of applying a remedy. In the meanwhile we must be resigned to play the part of Cassandra to an unwilling auditory, and to groan over abuses that we cannot prevent. [We copy .the above from the New York Herald, and we rejoice that this independent journal has opened its batteries in good season and with vigor against the system of lobbying at Washington, which has become a dis" grace to our country. The patent extension cases are very important, not only to the parties interested, but to the whole country, and we have been surprised to notice the stupid apathy of the leading journals upon this subject. The Herald is the only daily journal in New York (we had almost said in the United States) that has fully appreciated these cases, and it has dealt them a powerful blow in times past. We hope it will keep on until not one of these schemes shall stand unexposed to public view. The Persian Wheel. This is a contrivance for raising water to some hight above the level of a stream. In the rim of a wheel turned by the stream a number of strong pins are fixed, to which buckets are suspended. As the wheel turns, the buckets on one side go down into the stream, where they are filled, and return full up the other until they reach the top. Here an obstacle is placed in such a position that it overturns the bucket, and the water is poured into a spout or convenient receptacle. It is evident that with this form of wheel the water can only be raised to the hight of the diameter of the wheel, and there is no doubt that it is a very rude contrivance. It is much used in Persia for the irrigation of the land, and very many of them may be" seen on the banks of the river Nile. Polarity. This is a property possessed by some bodief, which will, when allowed to move freely, arrange themselves in certain determinate directions, or point, p,s it were, to given poles. Thus, an iron bar acquires polarity by magnetism, and, when suspended from a single point, arranges itself in the direction of the magnetic meridian of the earth. When light is supposed to consist of material particles emitted from the sun, it is necessary to explain certain optical phenomena to assume that the particles are endowed with polarity, which merely signifies that the opposite sides of a particle have different physical properties. Recent Patented Improvements. The following inventions have been patented this week, as will be found by referring to our List of Claims on another page :— SPINNING OAKmi.—A machine for this purpose has been invented by Smith Baldwin, of St. Louis, Mo., which combines the processes of carding and spinning ; and the picked oakum, when supplied to it, is converted into a merchantable state, for the use of caulkers, &c., at one continuous operation. PLATFOKM SCALES.—This invention consists in the peculiar manner of connecting the scale beam with the platform, whereby but little motion is allowed the platform ; and the weight upon the platform is made to bear equally upon the lever that supports it ; it being immaterial on what part of the platform the weight is placed. It is the invention of James Kelly, of Sag Harbor, N. Y., who has assigned it to John Sherry, of the same place. BUILDING SHIPS.—This improvement consists in preventing the vibrations of the sides of the ship, and the consequent leakage at the keel, by arranging diagonally two rods and braces in opposite directions from the keel to the top side of the ship ; said braces and rods bearing against strong knees or shoes, which securely tie the timbers of the keel together. We regard this as a good arrangement, which ought to be adopted in every large steamer. It is the invention of John Reeves, of Brooklyn, N. Y. LIGHTING LANTERNS.—This invention consists in having a match socket attached to a spring, which is secured to the inner side of the door, and held back to the side of the door by a catch. A corrugated plate is attached to the inner side of the lantern, and the parts are so arranged that the match which is fitted in the socket will, when the socket is liberated from the catch, have its ignitible end forcsd over the corrugated plate, and the match being then in a line with the wick, lights the lamp. It is the invention of A. C. Richard, of New-town, Conn. PEEPETUAL LniE KILN.—This invention provides a perpetual kiln, wherein lime and coal, or fuel, may be mixed or burned together perfectly, in the same kiln, without the necesB'ity of using side furnaces or grates ; and the lime, when burned and discharged, is purer, and freer from carbon, ashes, or other impurities which usually escape from the coal or fuel, by reason of imperfect combustion during the process of burning in perpetual kilns of ordinary construction. It is the invention of H. R. Fell, of Texas, Md. liPROVED SHINGLE MACHINE.—This invention relates to an improvement in that class of shingle machines in which a, cii'cu-lar saw is employed for cutting the shingle from the bolts. The improvement consists in the employment of a pendulous frame provided with a proper clamp to hold the bolt, and arranged relatively with a circular saw, and setting device for adjusting the bolt within the frame; the whole being so arranged that the shingles are cut from the bolt with great facility, and adjusted so as to be eut in proper taper form. It is the invention of Robert Law, of Portage City, Wis. CLEARING SEED PINTER TUBES.—This invention consists in arranging a shaft set with edged blades behind the cultivator tubes —said blades revolving with the shaft, and in their revolution passing up alongside of the tubes, and carrying with them such grass, weeds, or obstructions as prevent a perfect entrance of the seed into the soil. T1iis is a device much needed by farmers, judging from the fact that considerable inventive ingenuity has been exercised by previous inventors in constructing a device for accomplishing the clearing of cultivator teeth. It is the invention of H. F. Baker, of Centerville, Ind. PAPER-SLVKING MACHINERY.—The object of this improvement is to prevent th breaking or tearing of the paper, as it passes from the upper one of the second press rolls to the dryer. This is attained by the use of a small roll arranged parallel with the press rolls, between the highest part of the upper press roll and doctor, about opposite the line where the paper should leave the upper press roll, on its way to the dryer, so that the web of paper will pass between it and the upper press roll. The slight cohesion of the web to this Small roll eases it off the upper press roll and prevents it breaking ; and if a slight break should occur in the web, it prevents the edge of the break being carried under the doctor, and thereby increased. This improvement, though simple in its character, is highly important in its results, and is found, by practice, to effect a great increase in the quantity of paper produced in a given time, by saving nearly all the time that is expended when breakages of the web occur. It is the invention of Stephen Rossman, of Stuyvesant, N. Y.g PAINT VEHICLE. —This is a new compound for mixing paints, and consists of four fluid ounces of oil of turpentine, put into a bottle with one-quarter of an ounce of gum mastic, and one-eighth of an ounce of caoutchouc. These are well shaken three or four times a day for three or four days, and then allowed to rest for a short time. One gallon of soft soap, which should be one year old, and of good quality, is next dissolved over a fire in one gallon of distilled rain water. One gallon of linseed oil is boiled anci poured into the soft soap and water with frequent stirring, while both are at about blood heat. The gum mastic and caoutchouc solution is then poured from its dregs and added, and after the whole has been well stirred, it is placed over a gentle fire and heated, the heat being increased for about half an hour until it almost reaches the boiling point, but it must not be allowed to boil. The composition is then strained through a coarse cloth, and when cold is ready for use. It makes a paint that is cheaper than common oil paint, and is more durable, owing to the alkali and gums preventing the oil leaving the paint, and being absorbed by the wood. It is also susceptible of a hi'gh polish when well dried, and takes varnish well. A. C. Church, of Union City, Mich., is the inventor.


The JIAM Electron Microscopy facility provides electron and ion microscopy for all researchers in the UT system, ORNL, and other institutions. The facility is equipped with TEM, SEM/FIB and modern sample preparation for soft and solid materials. The facility is available on a self-use base and for service requests.

EU foreign ministers mull Euro 2012 Ukraine boycott
EU foreign ministers are set to meet to decide upon whether to use Euro-2012 football tournament to register disapproval at the imprisonment of former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
The ministers were due to meet in Brussels on Monday morning to discuss a possible boycott of the tournament by political figures to protest against the continued incarceration of Tymoshenko.
The Netherland has already said it will not send a member of its political establishment to Ukraine, where the country plays its first game. So too, has the European Commission.
The 51-year-old Tymoshenko was jailed last October for abuse of office, but the case has been denounced by both the EU and the US as politically motivated. Pressure on Kyiv has mounted since it was alleged that Tymoshenko was injured by prison guards during a visit to a hospital. Until last week, the former premier was on a hunger strike in protest at the alleged abuse.
Germany, whose team is due to play in Lviv on June 9, is yet to decide whether it will send government representatives to Ukraine for the tournament.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble said at the weekend that he would not personally attend the tournament, repeating the claims that the proceedings against Tymoshenko were politically motivated.
Until last week, Tymoshenko was on a hunger strike
"You overcome your political opponents in elections, but you don't lock them up in jail," he told the German Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
Cold reception for prime minister
The EU will also make clear its displeasure with Kyiv this week when Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov visits Brussels. On Tuesday, Azarov is scheduled to discuss landmark political association and free trade deals with EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule and a representative of the bloc's Danish presidency.
However, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso or EU President Herman Van Rompuy will not be meeting the Ukranian premier, as would normally be the case for a visiting head of government.
Last week, Van Rompuy had told the broadcaster Euronews that the EU wanted to send "a very strong political message."
"The prime minister of Ukraine announced he would come to Brussels, we said: 'Stay home!'" said Van Rompuy. "It is a clear signal from our side that they have to change inside Ukraine."
Tymoshenko was among the leaders of Ukraine's 2004 pro-democracy Orange Revolution, and is a long-standing opponent of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich.

NEWS: Improved Neurologic Outcome Seen With Targeted Temperature Management to 33 Degrees Versus 36 Degrees

Background/Methods
Targeted temperature management (TTM) has become standard of care in post-cardiac arrest survivors after two landmark studies in 2002 demonstrated improved neurological outcomes with induced hypothermia to 32-34°C in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors with a shockable rhythm. The 2013 TTM trial explored the differences in outcome comparing 33°C to 36°C and found no difference. However, clinical studies since then suggest higher incidence of fevers, lower protocol adherence and trends toward worse outcome after adoption of 36°C.
The current study sought to explore an association between TTM goal temperature and neurological outcomes. This was a retrospective single center study of adult patients who suffered OHCA in Seattle between 2010 and 2017. Qualifying patients were identified from an existing registry. Prior to April 2014, the center had a TTM protocol with a goal temperature of 33°C (TTM33) and subsequently the goal temperature was changed to 36°C (TTM36). Patients being treated were assumed to be in accordance with the TTM33 protocol prior to this date and with the TTM36 protocol after. Other inclusion criteria included shockable and non-shockable rhythms, and not following simple commands after resuscitation. Life-threatening hemorrhages were an exclusion criteria.
Primary outcome: favorable neurological outcome at discharge (cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1 or 2). Secondary outcomes: in-hospital mortality, emergency department (ED) initiation of TTM, time to TTM initiation, time to lowest temperature and DNR status. Univariate analyses included evaluation of characteristics through Student t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square or Fisher exact tests. Logistic regression models were run examining the association between TTM goal temperature, favorable neurological outcome and mortality while adjusting for covariates. The covariates included age, sex, arrest location, witnessed arrest, bystander CPR, arrest etiology, initial rhythm and EMS response time.
The registry consisted of 782 patients of which a cohort 453 were included in the analysis. The median age was 54.6±15.6 years, predominantly male (70%) with 56% witnessed arrests and 47% receiving bystander CPR. The median time to initial contact with EMS was 3.9±1.5 minutes and an initial shockable rhythm was present in 38%. The vast majority of patients (91%) had a pulse on arrival to ED and the mean temperature on arrival was 35.5°C. Of the patients that received TTM, 41% survived to hospital discharge. The TTM33 period comprised 258 patients and the TTM36 cohort had 195 patients. The TTM33 group was older (56 vs. 51 yr; p<0.05) and had a higher incidence of cardiac etiology (45% vs. 35%; p<0.05). Other baseline characteristics, including initial cardiac rhythm, were similar between groups.
Primary outcome: In the univariate analysis, a significantly higher proportion of patients in TTM33 group had favorable neurological outcome (39.9% vs. 29.7%; p<0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression model as well, the TTM33 group was associated with higher favorable neurological outcome (OR 1.79; 95% CI 1.09 – 2.93), after adjusting for covariates. Secondary outcomes: There were no significant mortality differences between the groups: TTM33 45% vs. TTM36 36%; p=0.08. In the regression model, after adjusting for covariates, TTM33 did not have a significantly different mortality (OR 1.46; 95% CI 0.92-2.31). A significantly higher proportion of patients in the TTM33 group had TTM initiated in the ED (87% vs. 55%; p<0.001) and the median time to TTM initiation in the TTM33 group was also faster (1.5 hr vs. 3.5 hr; P<0.001). As expected, the lowest temperature was lower (32.5°C vs. 35°C; p<0.001) and the time to lowest temperature was longer in the TTM33 group (6.9 hr vs. 4.1 hr; p<0.001). There were no other significant differences in other aspects of care, DNR status and causes of mortality. The majority of patients that died were from complications of cerebral anoxia in both groups (TTM33 60.1% and TTM36 62.9%).
The authors conclude that a TTM goal temperature of 33°C had significantly higher odds of favorable neurological outcome at discharge compared to 36°C. The hypotheses put forward for this association include a delay in active temperature management for the TTM36 group (as demonstrated in the results), secular changes in patient characteristics over the years and differences in cardiac arrest care. There was 79% higher odds of neurologically intact survival for the TTM33 group in this study, which is in contrast to the 2013 TTM trial. A major criticism that the TTM trial faced was the long durations to induce TTM and achieve that target temperature (~10 hours) compared to the original HACA and Bernard trials from 2002 (2 to 8 hours), which may have negated the positive effect of a lower target temperature. The current study demonstrated a significant delay in starting active temperature management and 32% decrease in active temperature management in the ED for the TTM36 group. These factors could influence the higher the proportion of patients with poor neurological outcomes seen in the TTM36 group. One would expect that instituting TTM would be logistically easier in the TTM36 group; however, the opposite was seen in the current study. This trend has also been well reported in the literature among patients with a target temperature of 36°C subject to decreased active cooling measures, less time at target temperatures and increase incidences of fever.
The current study did not find an association between goal temperature and survival. Nearly 62% of patients in the current study had an initial non-shockable rhythm. Neither the TTM trial nor the HYPERION trial showed a mortality difference between 33°C vs 36°C, but HYPERION did show a higher proportion of patient with good neurologic outcome in the 33°C group. The current study does not include a subgroup analysis of mortality associations in the shockable and non-shockable groups separately. This may have been an interesting finding.
Several studies have documented worsening secular trends in post cardiac arrest survival rate and neurological outcomes since the publication of the TTM trial. One particular publication (Salter, et al) demonstrated an improvement in mortality up until the TTM trial publication with an abrupt reversal and increasing mortality henceforth. This could definitely be attributed to changing patient demographics or other aspects of patients care, but it may also be possible that widespread use of 36°C as target temperature or abandoning TTM altogether may have contributed to this.
The limitations of the current study include its retrospective nature, which restricts analysis to associations and not causation. Unmeasured confounders in either group could have contributed to the outcome; specifically, the incidence of fever rates in either groups have not been mentioned. This was a study conducted at a single high volume, high performing center, so the results may not be widely applicable. The data abstractor was not blinded to patient groups or other aspects of care, and there may have been a bias in CPC assessment. In addition, long-term outcomes (beyond hospital discharge) for these patients were not assessed.
Studies such as this emphasize the need to re-evaluate 36°C as a target temperature for TTM patients and begs the question, "Do the patients in the TTM trial truly represent the patient population that I treat?"

Stories of betting rigging in the NBA and NCAA
Explanation of sports bettingchevron
Tim Donaghy, the NBA referee who ended up in jailchevron
Jack Molinas, from NBA player with exceptional potential to prisonchevron
The NBA (National Basketball Association) is the most popular basketball league in the world. Unfortunately, before it became what it is today, this league went through a dark period, especially because of sports betting. This activity has been widespread in the history of sports for several decades, and some people have taken advantage of it to make a lot of money.
In this article, Lucky7Bonus is going to bring you two stories around game fixing in the NBA and NCAA. The first story is going to be the testimony of a former NBA referee who was sentenced to jail time for stories of match fixing.
The second story Lucky7Bonus is going to tell you is about a former NBA player who became a real figure in the sports betting world of corruption.
Explanation of sports betting
Before we begin this article and list two exceptional stories, Lucky7Bonus would like to explain in a few lines how sports betting works.
First of all, you should know that it is possible to bet on almost every sport in the world such as: soccer, basketball, tennis, badminton, even table tennis. For each game, you can have several types of bets offered. For example, in soccer you can bet on :
Winner of the meeting
Number of goals
Exact score
Who are the scorers
And a whole lot of other bets. This is the same for all sports and the bets offered vary depending on the activity. Each bet has an odds. These are defined according to several criteria. The minimum odds are 1. The closer the odds are to 1, the greater the chances of your bet actually succeeding.
For example, odds of 1.10 are more likely to succeed than odds of 10. To calculate your final win, it's not complicated: odds x stake = win. For example: odds: 1.10 x stake: €100 = potential winnings if you win: €110.
Thus, it is an activity that never stops and can make you a lot of money, especially if you start fixing matches, as you will read in the following stories.
Tim Donaghy, the NBA referee who ended up in jail
The first story is about a referee, Tim Donaghy. It is in 1994 that this American started his career as a referee in NBA. Officiating on hundreds of games throughout his career, Tim Donaghy seems to be a referee like the others.
Unfortunately, his reputation was tarnished in 2007, when a huge scandal broke. After several months of investigation, the FBI revealed that the referee was involved in a betting scam. For several months, this referee was betting on the matches he was going to referee. This large-scale investigation brought to light a traffic that seemed to be from another time.
How many matches have been rigged? How could this happen? None of the answers will be given, but, faced with the magnitude of this case, Tim Donaghy had to resign from his position.
That same year, he was sentenced to 15 months in prison. He reportedly valued his sports betting winnings at nearly $100,000. In a book entitled Personal Foul the referee denies having negatively influenced the games he refereed and bet on. He explains that he won all his bets because of his knowledge of basketball and that all the fouls that deserved to be whistled were. In addition, he looked at which referees he was going to officiate with, because each one had a specificity and he bet according to their way of officiating.
This case is a stain in the NBA. Indeed, in history, some playoff series are known to have had a bizarre outcome, including in 2002 between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings. Largely dominating, the Sacramento Kings lost in game 6 (112-106) making the Lakers come back in the race for the NBA finals (3-3). If this game is so scandalous, it is because 27 free throws were obtained by Los Angeles on the last quarter, which is colossal, because this figure is normally the number of shots obtained on a game.
If it is so scandalous, it is because in an open letter, the referee Tim Donaghy asserts that this match was rigged, accusations that were denied at the time and that we still do not know the truth.
Upon his release from prison, Tim Donaghy continued to make news by accusing numerous referees and games of being rigged. This story has done a lot of damage to the NBA's reputation and raises a crucial question in sports: how much can a referee influence the outcome of a game?
Jack Molinas, from NBA player with exceptional potential to prison
There are fates that are sometimes incomprehensible, and this is the case of Jack Molinas. This American grew up in a wealthy family. At the age of 12, he decided to take up basketball and quickly realized that he was well above average. At the same time, he started betting on the games he played in. Yes, at only 12 years old, he starts betting.
For six years, Jack Molinas bet on the wins and losses of the games he played. Seeing his business as more and more lucrative, he decides to start betting with other people and also, to sell some information.
But before being a game fixer, Jack Molinas is first and foremost an excellent basketball player. In 1950, he joined the University of Colombia and decided to bet less. However, after a brawl with his team, he was expelled for almost 6 months. When he returned, Jack Molinas realized one thing: he could only count on himself. And it is from this precise day that things are going to go very fast. He now decides to bet every second game he plays in.
Despite his corruption, Jack Molinas continues to prove that he is a very high level basketball player. In 1953, he is selected at the 3rd position of the draft by the Fort Wayne Pistons.
Now in the NBA, Jack Molinas has a great career ahead of him, and he knows it. However, the lure of money is far too great and the young man continues to bet on the games he plays.
However, the young man flares up too much and his way of life starts to interest some journalists who wonder how a young man can spend so much money while earning a not very high salary. A private investigator is hired, phone tapping takes place and in 1954, Jack Molinas is arrested and immediately banned from the NBA.
Despite being in the spotlight, Molinas isn't stopping. The NBA didn't want him anymore, so he decided to turn to the NCAA. He bribed several players and decided to extend his influence to boxing and horse racing.
For several years, Jack Molinas pocketed large sums of money, but his operation ended in 1962. That year, he was arrested for corrupting nearly 60 games, 37 players were arrested and 22 universities were involved in this large-scale sports betting operation.
Jack Molinas is sentenced to 15 years in prison and gets out after only 4 years. He continues his trafficking, but his influence is more and more questioned to such an extent that he is murdered at his home by a hitman on August 3, 1975.

Olig to retire after 35 years in sheriff's office

Olig to retire after 35 years in sheriff's office Lt. Ryan Waldschmidt will be the new caption of operations for the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office Check out this story on fdlreporter.com: http://fondul.ac/2a3JjOC

FOND DU LAC - A veteran of law enforcement is hanging up his badge.
After 35 years, five months and 16 days with the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office, Capt. Rick Olig will be retiring. His final walk down the ramp at 180 S. Macy St. is set for 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 11.
Sheriff Mick Fink has named Lt. Ryan Waldschmidt as the new captain of operations, overseeing all communications. Waldschmidt, an FBI Academy graduate, spent 16 years with patrol and the last two years as assistant jail administrator.
For Olig, 56, he's giving up a job he loves to start a consulting business. As a traffic safety consultant for the Wisconsin Bureau of Transportation Safety, he will oversee 72 counties and assist in developing strategic highway safety plans.
"I can honestly say I looked forward to coming to work every day. But there is a time (to move on)," Olig said.

In 1981, the Mount Calvary native was working for his parents' catering business and driving for an ambulance service when a sheriff's deputy pulled up and asked if he'd like a job as a dispatcher.
Back then, there were two deputies for the entire county, and dispatchers used laminated maps, typewritten logs and a 911 phone with 50 buttons, which had two lines for every exchange in the county.
Olig started riding with deputies to learn patrol and moved up through the ranks under four different sheriffs. He credits those leaders for making him the man he is today.
"I never thought I would have a badge and a gun," Olig said. "I was not the young kid saying I wanted to be a cop, so never in my wildest dreams did I think I would one day be captain of operations."
Through four decades, his mode of operation has focused on treating people with dignity and respect.
"When something tragic happens, we do everything we can, especially for someone who is in their final moments," Olig said. "I had a mother thank me because I was there for her daughter when she died. If something happened to me or my family, you can bet I'd want one of our deputies there, because for all of them it's more than just a job."

Like Olig, Waldschmidt has spent his entire law enforcement career in Fond du Lac County.
"I became involved in law enforcement in 1994 when I was 16 years old as a police explorer with the Fond du Lac Police Department," Waldschmidt said.
After a short stint as an auxiliary officer, Waldschmidt was sworn in as a Fond du Lac County deputy in 1998.
Born and raised in Fond du Lac, Waldschmidt remembers watching officers drive through his Morris Street neighborhood.
"As kids, we would wave at the squads when they drove by and the deputies would sometimes blow the siren or flash the lights at us," Waldshmidt said. "I remember wondering back then where the deputies all drove during their shift and what they did. The city police officers would sometimes sit and run radar from the parking lots of nearby businesses and we would ride our bikes over and talk to the officers."
Waldschmidt graduated from Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton with an associate degree in police science and then attended Marian University, where he earned a criminal justice degree.
Most of his career has been on the law enforcement side of the sheriff's office, but after working on the corrections side the last couple of years, Waldshmidt said he plans to meet with the four shift commanders/lieutenants to hear their ideas, priorities and concerns.
Waldschmidt will then formulate a strategic plan on moving forward in his new role.
"The lieutenants oversee the deputies and detectives that interact with the public on a daily basis and get the work of law enforcement done," Waldschmidt said. "My new role will be to serve and assist them in getting that job done."

A landmark, bipartisan bill expanding the treatment of autism was given final approval by the Colorado State Senate and is on its way to the Governor. Senate Bill 244, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Brandon Shaffer (D-Longmont) and State Representative Dianne Primavera (D-Broomfield), will require health insurance providers to cover assessment, diagnosis and treatment of autism, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a substantially researched and favored behavioral treatment for autism spectrum disorders. This bill will require health insurance plans to include autism as a covered benefit.
Autism is extremely expensive to treat; the estimated lifetime cost of caring for a person with autism ranges from $3.5 to $5 million. However, if the appropriate early intervention treatments are applied, up to two-thirds of the cost for treatment can be avoided.
After the bill passed the Senate, Betty Lehman, Executive Director of the Autism Society of Colorado and a key architect of the bill, thanked individuals with autism in Colorado, their families and their providers, indicating their continued support ensured the bill's passage. The Autism Society asked those affected by autism in Colorado to contact their legislators to encourage a yes vote on the bill, to great effect. Lehman also thanked the lawmakers that recognized the impact of the bill on Colorado families affected by autism.
"This bill will have a tremendous impact on the lives of people with autism and their families. It will also alleviate some of the financial burden on the public education, public health care programs, and social services systems in our state," said Lehman.
Michael Zeitlin, Board President of the Autism Society of Colorado, acknowledged the landmark bill would not have been possible without the hard work of the bill sponsors and Betty Lehman.
"Except for Senate Majority Leader Brandon Shaffer and State Representative Dianne Primavera, Betty Lehman was the single most important person involved in shepherding this bill through the entire legislative process, winning approval in both houses of the legislature and vetting about 50 amendments negotiated by various interest groups," said Zeitlin.
The bill now awaits action by the Governor. If SB 244 is signed, Colorado will become only the 11th state requiring insurance providers to cover treatments for autism. The Autism Society of Colorado is excited to have worked diligently for legislation that improves the quality of life for people with autism and their families.


The Grand Comoro Flycatcher (Humblotia flavirostris) is a species of concern belonging in the species group "birds" and found in the following area(s): Indian Ocean (Comoro Islands). This species is also known by the following name(s): Humblot's Flycatcher.

There is a tiny lagoon on the beach, just opposite the landfill on Baden Powell drive which I often drive past. In the morning it is covered in Seagulls and small birds enjoying the shallow waters.
Today I stopped to take a pic of them, and I gaught this show of the two birds fighting (or possibly mating). I really don't know Seagulls too well, but they constantly literally flying into each other and almost chasing each other away.
It was an interesting site, and I think it makes quite a nice photo.
