Plea deal reached in Jacksonville murder over $20 debt
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WITN) – A Jacksonville man was sentenced for killing another man in a shooting over $20.
Malcolm Lambert entered an Alford plea to second degree murder and discharging a firearm into occupied property Friday morning.
An Alford plea is where a defendant agrees there is enough evidence to convict him but actually doesn't admit guilt.
Leroy Quinn of Jacksonville was gunned down at Liberty Crossing Apartments on Carmen Avenue on the night of November 19th, 2018.
Prosecutors said that Lambert went to Quinn's apartment and demanded $20 that had been owed him for about a week. When Lambert talked to Quinn at his front door, witnesses said that Quinn was holding a BB gun, refused to pay the debt, and closed the door after arguing.
Investigators said that Lambert later returned with four people. Three of them stayed in front of the apartment while Lambert and another person when behind it.
Once in the back, investigators said that Lambert fired four shots at the apartment one of which hit Quinn in the heart killing him.
Police said that Quinn's body was found by his mother two hours later in the living room where he had collapsed.
The D.A. agreed to dismiss the first-degree murder charge and recommend Lambert be sentenced to prison for 18 to 23 years.
"It's just a completely senseless crime," Ernie Lee, district attorney for Onslow County said.

Supply chains and skills are vital to business growth, says the CBI's Damian Waters
Business organisation releases report which claims investment in supply chains could boost the UK economy by £30bn
Tony McDonough
Damian Waters, director of the CBI in the North West
Investing in research and development (R&D), skills and regional and national supply chains could boost the economy by billions of pounds, the head of the CBI in the North West has said.
Damian Waters, the business organisation's regional director, was speaking as the CBI publishes a new report examining the role of supply chains in more detail.
The study – Pulling Together – has been produced by management consulting firm AT Kearney and it claims "quality and service-driven supply chains" could be worth up to £30bn to the economy by 2025, and create an additional 500,000 jobs.
According to Mr Waters, eight out of 10 businesses identify supply chain development as an important factor influencing their future growth.
He said: "Just look at success the North West has had in building supportive partnerships in automotive, aerospace, food and chemicals, which has brought together world class engineering and manufacturing companies and gives opportunities to smaller companies in supply chains to work collaboratively with larger companies to boost their growth."
However, Mr Waters adds that investment in R&D and technology is essential if we are to stay competitive and points out that France, a similar sized economy to the UK, outspent us on R&D by 40% in 2012.
"We need to build an innovation environment that is not only globally competitive, but globally leading," he added. "We need to start putting our money where our mouth is.
"The CBI would like to see a 3% target for combined public and private investment in R&D established for the long-term, as a first meaningful step after the election.
"We'd also like to see the resources of InnovateUK – the Government organisation established to stimulate and support business-led innovation – doubled by the end of the next parliament, and an extension to the R&D tax credit, to incentivise the later stages of commercialisation and production of ideas in the UK."
And on skills shortages across industry, he said: "We need to get to grips with a growing skills crisis that is already hitting our supply chains hard and, if left unaddressed, will act as a major brake on growth.
"It's no secret that industrial firms are struggling to recruit science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduates and technicians."

During his Two and a Half Men day, Sheen was reportedly paid $1.25 Million per episode, making him one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors. Given today's inflation, that would be around $2 Million. Charlie Sheen's expensive lifestyle and the lack of big paying projects have drowned him in debt.
According to Charlie Sheen, his monthly income has dropped from $600,000 per month to $167,000. On top of that, he also has two pay two ex-wives for child support each month and he has to pay various medical expenses because of his HIV.

In his court filings, Sheen revealed that he has $12 Million in debts, mostly coming from mortgages and his medical expenses amounting to $25,000 each month.
By August 2018, Charlie Sheen has filed a document to a Los Angeles court saying that he is "in a dire financial crisis". He also further claimed that he can no longer afford to pay his monthly child support because he cannot find a steady job.
In 2019, he almost lost his LA home to foreclosure. However, he was able to sell the home since he lowered the asking price to $7.99 Million, a $2 Million dollar shy of his original asking price of $10 Million.

The interview was painfully magnificent; Lindsey offered details I'd never heard, and, as always, her wisdom astounded me. But afterwards she and I talked about her one glaring omission. When asked what helped her recover she readily described support from friends and family, wonderful sessions with a therapist, stability with school and work … she even described her own fortitude.
Yet those things probably helped her the most, even if they seemed too weird to talk about in public. In fact, I'm finding this increasingly true for so many I know, myself included. Incessantly worried? Perpetually sick? Cycling through the same relationship woes, the same circumstance over and over again? I've seen decades of intractable, repetitive bad choices, ill health or patterns of catastrophe shift almost immediately after a session with someone skilled at shifting those energies we don't believe exist. While I've never witnessed spontaneous cures from cancer or clinical depression (although I no longer doubt they happen), I have seen crippling illnesses – mono, severe allergies, chronic fatigue, dangerous blood pressure, paralyzing anxiety, and life-stopping grief – disappear so subtly and so completely, it's as if they never appeared in the first place.
Lindsey has come to believe that this wacky chiropractor – this "crazy" man who taps her head, waves his hands, and talks a language that is about as comprehensible to her as ancient Greek -- is the health care provider she counts on the most. She doesn't know what he does, but she knows that he has been the catalyst behind her healing and her resulting transformation. It's like he cleared away all the debris blocking her path so that she can get on with her true life.


Preparing a child for school can seem like a big task. You're constantly worried about stressing your child too much, or in the opposite direction, not providing her the stimuli necessary for proper growth. You can make the preshooling task many times easier by following a curriculum. If you're going to go ahead, here are the features that your own homeschool preschool curriculum should have.
Alphabet recognition is a vital pre-reading skill for a child to master, before she is introduced to schooling. Learning capital, or uppercase, letters is easier at first, because of the straighter lines, which are easier to comprehend and replicate for a child.
After spending a good amount of time on these, you can start introducing the lowercase alphabet in order to graduate the child's knowledge. To help a child better connect the corresponding lower-uppercase pairs, you can use descriptive statements like "small brother" or "Big A's child is small a". Also, to make the recognition activity fruitful, expose the child equally to written and print letters.
Simultaneously, as the child begins to master letter recognition, you should begin to challenge her with numbers. The ten digits are often much easier to memorize than the 24 alphabets.
You can use various learning-oriented games like "color the right number", "make the number smile", "Six or Nine", "Spot the zero in pictures".
Often related to number comprehension are counting skills, and numbers are better learnt in conjunction with counting. After the child knows how to recognize basic digits, you can piggy-back the skill by associating counting of objects with it. This helps the child in forming visual, and conceptual, associations between the representation of count and counting itself.
When helping a child learn colors, start by introducing two colors- white and black, then add three more- red, blue, and green. After you've given your child sufficient practice with these colors with fun activities, you can start widening her palette with intermediate hues like yellow, orange, yellow, pink, violet, and sky blue.
One activity that stands out above the rest is letting the child play with crayons. The child gets a self-created visual feedback for every color and registers it better in memory.
Free drawing can be gradually promoted to coloring in simple closed shapes, which can then be enhanced with drawing of specific objects. This will also help in training the child's fine motor skills. Dexterity is necessary for learning to manipulate the pencil (or crayon) with fingers and developing handwriting.
Always remember not to pressurize the child too much and tread gradually. Sometimes, it becomes hard to accept the fact that what's obvious for adults can be the most difficult thing to comprehend for a child. Other than a proactive approach, fun and action should be the defining characteristics of your self-designed Homeschool Preschool Curriculum.


According to the ReFED roadmap, households are responsible for approximately 43% of the food waste generated in the United States. This translates to roughly 25 million tons per year.
In addition to the costs of wasted energy and resources incurred collectively by American citizens, residential food waste takes an additional economic toll on individual households. In his book, American Wasteland, Jonathan Bloom estimates that American families do not eat approximately 25% of the food they buy. For a family of four, that's roughly $1,400 to $2,300 per year.
Plan weekly menus. Making a plan at the beginning of the week will remove the pressure of daily meal decision making. Check out Save the Food's "10 Easy Tips for Meal Plannig".
Shop strategically. Go to the store with a plan and a list in hand so you'll know which ingredients to get and how much of each you'll need. Check out Save the Food's "Shopping Guidelines".
Use leftover ingredients. Check out the Amazing Waste cookbook for recipes designed to use up those miscellaneous scraps and leftovers.

Use best storage techniques. Knowing what environmental conditions various foods prefer will stretch their shelf-life and your paycheck. For detailed information, download USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service FoodKeeper App.
Learn to preserve. This is a fun and effective way to enjoy the tastes of summer in the dead of winter. Learn how from the National Center for Home Food Preservation.
Help your neighbors in need by donating non-perishables from your pantry and surplus produce from your garden via AmpleHarvest's step-by-step instructions. Contact your local municipality or food donation agencies for other donation opportunities.
Volunteers are an integral component of food recovery systems, providing much needed services to help connect surplus food with those who need it most. Contact your local municipality, food pantry, or meal center to see how you can get involved. Not sure where to start? Try: AmpleHarvest, Feeding America, or a food donation agency near you.
Ultimately, there will always be food scraps that won't get consumed (e.g., eggshells, coffee grounds, banana peels, etc.). Instead of paying to have those materials produce methane in a landfill, establish a home composting setup to transform scraps into a nutrient rich soil amendment for your lawn, landscaping, or garden. Learn composting basics from the Cornell Waste Management Institute (CWMI).

Brown-banded carder bumblebee at Croome
A brown-banded carder bumblebee Ray Reeves
A rare bumblebee made a welcome appearance at Croome - the first official sighting in Worcestershire since 2010.
During a training day at Croome a Brown-banded carder bumblebee was spotted by Richard Comont from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Volunteers and staff during training
National Trust | John Hubble
"It was fascinating to discover that there are 25 bumblebee species in Britain and to find out more about the 'Big 8' which are commonly seen in our gardens and green spaces. Thanks to our volunteer surveyors we will find out which species are most often seen at Croome" said Katherine Alker, Croome's Garden and Outdoors Manager
The bee, the scarcest of the three all-ginger carder bumblebees, is found in open flower-rich grasslands in the south of England and Wales where it shows a strong preference for clover, knapweed, red bartsia and similar flower species. Males, workers and queens are similar in appearance, ginger-brown all over with no clearly-delineated tail, often with a darker brown band on the second abdominal segment.
After introducing 'holistic grazing' to the meadows in the parkland the once impoverished soil has slowly transformed into a healthy and natural environment teeming with wildlife which appears to be attracting this uncommon type of bee.
Croome's wildflower meadows, a haven for bees
Thanks to a successful funding bid for training and research, we recently held a training day for staff and volunteers at Croome to learn about bumblebees. Richard Comont from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust gave a superb training session in the morning and then the group ventured out into the park in the afternoon to see how good their new-found identification skills were.
Almost immediately they found a few common species – but then Richard was delighted to discover a Brown-banded carder bumblebee; a species which was first rediscovered in Worcestershire in 2010 after not being seen since the 19th century.
"It was great to find the rare Brown-banded carder at a new site - hopefully the species will be here to stay. Over the next few months, volunteers will be surveying in the parkland hoping to spot good numbers and a range of species of bumblebees" said Richard Comont, Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

East London's unemployment woes described as "hell"
According to the Stats SA Quarterly Labour Force survey for the second quarter of 2018, the unofficial unemployment rate increased by 0.5 percentage points to 37.2% quarter to quarter.

Every morning Sivuyile Mduzulwana travels from his shack to stand along Amalinda Main Road in East London. He hopes that a passerby will stop and offer him piecemeal work. He has been doing this for nearly 18 years.
According to the Stats SA Quarterly Labour Force survey for the second quarter of 2018, the unofficial unemployment rate increased by 0.5 percentage points to 37.2% quarter to quarter. The Eastern Cape had the highest unemployment rate at 45.8%.
Skilled tiler struggles to find work
Mduzulwana, 45, left his home in Peddie in search for better employment prospects in East London almost 30 years ago. Mduzulwana lives in a backyard dwelling in Amalinda Forest with his girlfriend and their son.
He says he is a skilled tiler who on a good day makes up to R500. But most days, Mduzulwana, says he returns home empty-handed. "I pay R200 for rent a month and my girlfriend is also not employed but gets piece jobs now and then to wash clothes for people around Amalinda. This helps provide for our son," he says.
"It gets difficult sometimes to a point where we have to use his child support grant to pay rent. Especially when jobs are scarce. I feel like a very big failure when I cannot provide for them."
Mduzulwana says that the upcoming festive season brought some hope for him and the many others who also stand along Amalinda Road. "The festive season is good for us because many people want to renovate their homes and gardens. We survive on that. But there are also too many of us," he says.
"The struggle for work in East London is hell"
While GroundUp was visiting the spot on Saturday, one of the six men standing on the side of the road got a job. Thembinkosi Gaqa, 42, was one of the five men left behind. He has been living with his sister in Duncan Village after his shack burnt down in September. He has been standing in the Amalinda spot since 2015.
"It has been hard to piece my life together. The struggle for work in East London is hell," he says.
I feel like a very big failure when I cannot provide for [my family].
"In 2006, I had a child with someone. He died of hunger, because both me and her mother were not working. I am skilled in gardening and waterproofing, but a week goes by without getting a job here. When I do get a job, I share whatever I have with my sister," he says.
Elvis Ngamlana from Duncan Village says he wakes up about 6am and walks 8km to the Amalinda spot. He is skilled in painting, tiling and landscaping. He also depends on piecemeal jobs to survive.
"I am unemployed though I have skills I can use. But coming here is better than sitting at home. I am very patient because I know everyday is different. I sit here until 6pm at least and just hope my luck for work will come," he says.

This time, we've teamed up with the Chill Foundation to donate 45 boards to 45 kids for their programs in Burlington, Portland and Seattle. We love to support youth mentorship through skateboarding, and we especially think it's important that these kids will be able to assemble their own boards, skate them, and then bring them home at the end of the program.
One problem. We don't make trucks, wheels, grip tape or helmets. And that's where you come in.
We raise money to turn our donated decks into completes by selling decks to folks like you. The batch below will ensure every kid gets all of the hardware and safety gear she needs. Can you help us? We'll even handle the shipping for you. Plus, they're dope looking.
You buy a deck, we donate a complete.


The team consists of 17 women and 16 men – with Queensland dominating the team with 27 – 11 of those from the Gold Coast and six from the Sunshine Coast – with two each from NSW and one each from WA and SA.
Olympic gold medallists Cate Campbell (Chandler, QLD) and Emily Seebohm (Brisbane Grammar, QLD) both 25, have been named in their third Pan Pac teams, having made their debuts in Irvine in 2010 and making their second teams on the Gold Coast in 2014.
Also back from the 2010 team is dual-Commonwealth Games 50m breaststroke gold medallist Leiston Pickett (Southport Olympic, QLD) who is the oldest of the women's team at 26.
There are eight survivors from the 2014 Gold Coast team with Jess Ashwood (Chandler, QLD), Maddie Groves (Griffith, QLD), Mack Horton (Melbourne Vicentre, VIC), Mitch Larkin (St Peters Western, QLD), Emma McKeon (Griffith, University, QLD) and Jake Packard (USC Spartans, QLD) joining Campbell and Seebohm.
She joins 17-year-old Commonwealth Games star Ariarne Titmus, (St Peters Western), who wrapped up the 400-800m freestyle double tonight when the five-day Hancock Prospecting Pan Pacific Championship Trials concluded at the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre tonight.
Titmus is one of four from Dean Boxall's St Peters Western squad, with fellow Commonwealth Games star, five-time gold medallist Mitch Larkin on his second Pan Pac team and Clyde Lewis and Jack Cartwright making their Pan Pacs debut.
The team also includes Olympic gold medallists from Rio, Mack Horton (Melbourne Vicentre, VIC) and Kyle Chalmers (Marion, SA).
The women's team also sees one of two rookies on the team, 19-year-old former Coffs Harbour girl, Maddy Gough (TSS Aquatics, QLD) who swam her way onto the team with a stunning personal best time on night one in the 1500m freestyle.
She is joined by fellow TSS Aquatic team mates, Kiah Melverton, Laura Taylor and David Morgan.
Melverton, although pre-selected from the Commonwealth Games, won the 1500m freestyle in a sub 16 minutes qualifying time and also finished second to Titmus over 400 and 800 – both under the Top eight in the world qualifying time.
The men's team sees Rio Olympian Grant Irvine (Griffith University, QLD), now the eldest statesman of the team shading fellow 27-year-old two-time Olympic freestyle relay medallist James Roberts (Somerset, QLD) by just a month.
Bond University's Elijah Winnington, the winner of the 200 and 400 freestyle at the Trials is the youngest male on the team 18 and is joined by Bond teammate Alexander Graham.
Stubblety-Cook, who was behind at the final turn, picked up the pace in the final 50 metres to overtake an unsuspecting Matthew Wilson (2:09.10) and take the win at the wall with a 2:08.65, sneaking just under the 2:08.80 required for selection.
Sunshine Coast 24-year-old Kareena Lee (Noosa) has been named to swim both the 1500m freestyle and the 10km marathon.
She will be joined on the team by veteran coach John "JR" Rodgers who makes a long-awaited returned to the team – celebrating a 50 year coaching career, now at Noosa.

Zen and the Art of Donkey Maintenance

I looked again at the folded map of Europe in my hand. Then I crossed the road to the Continental booking office and bought a ticket for Salzburg in Austria.

In December 1966, the New Year looked exciting for fifty-five-year-old Robert Crisp. As a man whose youth was spent in constant adventure, leading a calm, domestic life in England had become a burden from which he needed to break free. Named by Wisden as "One of the most extraordinary men ever to play Test cricket" Crisp served as a soldier in the Second World War in Greece and North Africa for which he was decorated for bravery, later becoming a writer and journalist.
With his marriage over and his sons old enough to fend for themselves, Crisp decided to start a new life. With sixty pounds in his pocket, his wartime disability pension of ten pounds a month, and a plan to write about his adventures under a pseudonym, his journey began. Through twenty columns filed from abroad over years of rustic living and travel, Crisp, as Peter White, shared his experiences of hitch-hiking through Yugoslavia, settling in a beach shack in Greece where he attempted to cultivate the stubborn land, and a nearly fatal solo boat trip around Corfu. As the first year of his dream life came to a close, he found out that the stomach pain he had been suffering was not a side effect of too much Greek wine, but cancer. With a prediction of only one year to live, he set off on a trek around Crete, his only companion a donkey with plenty of personality.
Robert Crisp's account of his travels, originally serialised in the Sunday Express, is an honest, funny, touching account of this charming rogue's journey through a foreign land and culture in search of inner peace and happiness.

Man Who Spent 21 Years in prison Reunites With His Teacher | "She was a Shining Light in That Dark Place"
He shared a heartwarming video capturing his surprise. People took to the platform to share their own experiences.
By Sunayna Kanjilal

Teachers have a great role in defining the future of their wards. The core values that a teacher instills in students are really precious. Today's story is rooted in a teacher-student relationship that helped the student navigate through a very difficult time in his life. Michael Lacey spent 21 years of his life in prison and the only thing that kept him going was his GED teacher Ms. Rice. A few years down the lane, Tracey surprised his GED teacher and shared their moving reunion on TikTok. He added captions to the video from which we know that he ran into his teacher's roommate during a photography gig and they hatched a plan together to surprise her. The video begins by saying, "I just got to my favorite teacher's house when I was doing my 21 years of prison, she is the bomb. She doesn't know I'm coming. Let's go surprise her."
Rice doesn't even need a second to recognize him and exclaims, "Mr.Lacey? Oh my God!" and goes on to give him a hug. You can see the delight on her face to be able to reunite with her student. The subtitles read, "Seen her help more than 300 inmates get their GED. She never judged any of us. She was a shining light in that dark place."
People online were extremely touched by the reunion. One wrote: "Send her all of our greetings and respect for the good work she does and the impressive unbiased attitude she has!" Another wrote, "My middle school art teacher adopted me when I was 15. I became a teacher because of her..... great story! Another user commented, omg thank u for sharing this I watched this over and over. the joy she shared i. so beautiful. I'm crying. #formerlyincarcerated.

In another inspiring story, Raymond Nelson, a student support specialist at a school in South Carolina started a "Gentlemen's Club" for fifth graders. Nelson's main motto with this session is to teach them basic life lessons and help them get prepared for success. He is a father figure to the at-risk children of the community. The Club's motto according to Nelson is "Look good, feel good, do good. I was thinking maybe if I have the boys dress for success,"
Nelson recognizes that many of these children don't have anyone to guide them, "I know a lot of them struggle because a lot of them don't have men at home so I just want them to grow up and think of the things that I teach them," said Nelson. per CBS. "They like the reaction of walking up to classrooms and say, 'Oh, you look so nice and handsome,' they just love it." Nelson himself benefitted from one such group, which he had joined at the request of his mother. "It helped me to be a better man and I could spread the knowledge to the young boys," he said. "It teaches you to respect others and treat them how you want to be treated." The club was first started by school principal Mark Adams. It's our responsibility to prepare them for the next level," said Adams.

Loved the show that was on Nickelodeon, but could never attempt any of the experiments.
RIP guy I'm not sure I ever saw.
It's a sad day indeed. Another link to my childhood... gone.
A sad day for geeks everywhere indeed.
Rest in peace, Mr. Wizard.
Oh, Mr. Wizard - thanks to you I am an engineer, though it was a field closed to me in childhood. Thanks to you, I learned to experiment, to place value on the scientific method, to continue to learn and to eventually work in a job I have loved. You inspired a whole generation - we wouldn't be where we are today without you.


This chapter addresses image and video segmentation by using mean shift-based filtering and segmentation. Mean shift is an effective and elegant method to directly seek the local modes (or, local maxima) of the probability density function without the requirement of actually estimating it. Mean shift is proportional to the normalized density gradient estimate, and is pointing to the local stationary point (or, local mode) of the density estimate at which it converges. A mean shift filter can be related to a domain filter, a range filter or a bilateral filter depending on the variable setting in the kernel, and also has its own strength due to its flexibility and statistical basis. In this chapter a variety of mean shift filtering approaches are described for image/video segmentation and nonlinear edge-preserving image smoothing. A joint space-time-range domain mean shift-based video segmentation approach is presented. Segmentation of moving/static objects/background is obtained through inter-frame mode-matching in consecutive frames and motion vector mode estimation. Newly appearing objects/regions in the current frame due to new foreground objects or uncovered background regions are segmented by intra-frame mode estimation. Examples of image/video segmentation are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of these methods. Pseudo codes of the algorithms are also included.

LONGTIME SOFTBALL COACH KATHY STRAHAN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Posted: Jun 21, 2013
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- After 21 years as the Sacramento State head softball coach, Kathy Strahan has announced her retirement effective Aug. 6, 2013.
"We very much appreciate Kathy's 21 years of service to Sacramento State. She has been phenomenal to work with, and I'm excited for her as she enters a new phase in her life," Sacramento State Director of Athletics Dr. Terry Wanless said. "She has left the softball program in great shape, and we will look to continue to build on the foundation she has laid. One of the things I'm most proud of is that her teams always represented the University well both competitively and in the classroom."
Strahan, who began her coaching tenure with the Hornets in 1993, concludes a 30-year collegiate head coaching career which saw her oversee programs at Sacramento State (1993-2013), San Jose State (1986-92) and Cal State Dominguez Hills (1984-85). She surpassed the 800-win milestone during the 2012 season and finishes her career with an overall record of 823-780-3, and a Sacramento State record of 576-535-2. That Hornet record includes a conference mark of 247-221-1.
"I want to thank Dr. Wanless, the athletics department staff, my fellow coaches and University officials for all of their support throughout my tenure at Sacramento State," Strahan said. "This is a very special place, something I felt the moment I set foot on campus 21 years ago. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Hornet family and intend to stay involved in whatever capacity I might be helpful, but certainly as a Sacramento State sports fan."
The longest tenured softball coach in school history, Strahan's career with the Hornets spanned four conferences as she guided the team from the Western Athletic Conference (1993-96) to the Big West Conference (1997-02), the Pacific Coast Softball Conference (2003-12) and currently the Big Sky Conference (2013-pres.).
Under Strahan's watch, Sacramento State made three NCAA Regional appearances (1993, 1995, 2008) and the team finished below the .500 mark in conference play just once in the last 11 years. Her Hornet squads posted at least 25 wins on 15 occasions, including nine 30-win seasons and one 40-win squad. A total of seven Sacramento State players have played in the professional ranks during Strahan's tenure, including five in the last 10 years.
The Lansing, Mich., native was named Coach of the Year in three different conferences (Big West, WAC, PCSC), has been inducted into three different Hall of Fames in her home state of Michigan, led a Hornet softball program that traditionally posted some of the highest grade point averages at Sacramento State, and served on numerous NCAA softball committees during her career. In fact, the softball program's graduation success rate is currently at 93 percent.
Prior to her coaching career, Strahan was a shortstop for the Raybestos Brakettes of Stratford, Conn., the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) national champions in 1977, 1978 and 1980. She was also a member of the United States gold-medal winning team at the 1979 Pan American games, while also playing with the 1978 U.S. World Championships team. A standout softball and basketball player at Michigan State, she was a member of the 1976 Michigan State AIAW national championship team.

YCbCr: Es tracta d'una base colorimètrica utilitzada en sistemes de transmissió de vídeo i televisió.

Atès que la base colorimètrica dels primaris RGB conté molta informació redundant, quan s'utilitza aquesta base per codificar una imatge, s'obté una baixa eficiència de codificació. Això fa que molts cops s'opti per emprar l'espai YCbCr que presenta major eficiència i per tant, requereix menys capacitat per transmetre les imatges de vídeo digital.

Les components que formen la base colorimètrica són:

 Y: Component de luminància. En sistemes de televisió analògica en blanc i negre és la llum captada pel sensor, que es reflecteix dels objectes d'una determinada escena. En els sistemes a color, els sensors capten les components RGB i es calcula la luminància com la suma ponderada de les tres components de color, Y(R,G,B)=0,229*R+0,587*G+0,114*B. És la que conté la informació més rellevant d'una imatge perquè el Sistema visual és molt més sensible a aquesta informació que als colors.
 Cb: Component de color blau. (B-Y)
 Cr: Component de color vermell. (R-Y)

El sistema elegit per transmetre el senyal és la combinació de la luminància (Y), i dos senyals diferència de color R-Y, B-Y. S'utilitzen aquests dos senyals diferència perquè s'aconsegueix una major protecció davant les interferències i el soroll.

UNITED NATIONS, May 20 -- After fighting in Kidal in northern Mali, former colonial power France convened a UN Security Council meeting on May 20. Together on a big screen from Bamako, UN envoy Bert Koenders and Mali's foreign minister spoke, the latter urging the Council to denounce the MNLA as the sole aggressors, calling them narco-terrorists.
Mali's minister showed the Security Council photographs on a tablet and urged the Council to condemn only one aggressor.
The aspiration for independence for Azawad has not gone away, and it is entirely unclear if the intervention has made the government in Bamako under Ibrahim Boubacar Keita more or LESS likely to address the concerns of those in Kidal.
Neither Koenders nor it seems France at the UN has followed even the International Monetary Fund in questioning Ibrahim Boubacar Keita's purchase of a new Boeing 737 jet for $40 million. So what did the UN peacekeeping mission, Bert Koenders and Herve Ladous, know and when did they know it?

Arizona Narrows Shooting Range Locations
Arizona Game and Fish Department
PHOENIX, Az –-(AmmoLand.com)- Due to a high-density of archeological sites, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission on Saturday (Dec. 5), eliminated the Winona/Telephone Range location from consideration for the Northern Arizona Shooting Range (NAZSR) in the Flagstaff region.
Survey results of the Cochrane Hill location, located on the Coconino National Forest, also revealed some scattered archeological sites, mainly outside of the interested area to be developed. This location would still meet the needs of a local shooting range and remains a strong alternative.
A new location that has emerged for consideration is the Foster Ranch property, a 160-acre deeded property just south of I-40 from the Winona exit. Research of the property reveals it has passed preliminary investigations. A few remaining due diligence investigations are needed before fully considering this property as suitable. A private deeded property transaction could have the shortest timeline for establishing a shooting range. This narrows the NAZSR proposed locations to three.
In the meantime, coordination efforts are still on track with the Coconino National Forest for the Willard Springs land exchange. The regional forester has provided the final Agreement to Initiate to the Game and Fish director for approval and subsequent initiation of the National Environmental Policy Act process, a federal requirement which is estimated to cost $788,000.
The commission unanimously approved the department's recommendation and emphasized frequent updates with the goal of further narrowing the number of proposed locations by the March 2010 commission meeting.
To learn more about the Northern Arizona Shooting Range, visit www.azgfd.gov and select "Northern Arizona Shooting Range" under "In the Spotlight."
The Arizona Game and Fish Department prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, or disability in its programs and activities. If anyone believes that they have been discriminated against in any of the AGFD's programs or activities, including employment practices, they may file a complaint with the Deputy Director, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086-5000, (602) 942-3000, or with the Fish and Wildlife Service, 4040 N. Fairfax Dr. Ste. 130, Arlington, VA 22203. Persons with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation or this document in an alternative format by contacting the Deputy Director as listed above.


Everyone has something in their house they would like to fix or change, but many people don't know where to start. If you are equipped with the right information, home improvement is easy. Use the tips in this guide as you attempt your own home improvement project.
When replacing your baseboards, try to use stained If you enjoyed this post and you would such as to obtain additional details relating to diy home improvement (http://www.homeimprovementdaily.com) kindly see our own webpage. wood because it is a lot more appealing than painted baseboards. This gives your baseboards that look of real wood that blends very well with a modern or classic home. Stained backboards also serve the benefit of defending against stains and marks, which can increase its longevity. There are many options available in wood stains.
You may want to purchase a combination washer and dryer if you have a tiny house, condominium or apartment. A lot of combo units are as small as a dishwasher. With these combination units, you have the ability to wash clothes and dry them in one unit.
Two-liter bottles can be used as containers in your kitchen. You can see what's inside, and anything you put in them will stay completely dry and safe. They are great for grains, flour, sugar and other staples. They can be kept in the refrigerator, freezer, or on the shelf. Just open and pour when you need to use the contents.
Adding attic insulation can help you save money on winter heating bills. Heat rises over time and a tremendous amount of heat is lost in the fall and winter season in houses with poor insulation. Insulation is easily obtained at many hardware or home improvement stores and can be simple to install.
Make sure to define each of the rooms in your house before selling your home. Buyers shouldn't have to guess what a space is supposed to be; have appropriate furnishings and accessories in each room. Potential buyers can more easily see themselves using the space. This can make selling a house easier.
Seal cracks and openings to save on heating bills, as well as preventing bugs from entering your home. Caulk the baseboards, areas around windows and any other areas that require it. When the caulk is dry, insects will have difficulty entering and air will have difficulty getting out.
Try to paint as a first step in any project. Painting the walls and ceiling of a room can be done far easier if you do it before having new flooring installed. Paint drips and spatters are inevitable even if you use drop cloths and tarps.
Try to use only natural materials for any home improvement projects being done inside. Building materials that consist of ceramic, stone and wood are far superior to their artificial counterparts. Not only are they more attractive but they are also more durable. You will find that you will save money by not having to replace them over many years.
If you'd like to brighten up a room in your house, look into replacing dingy older outlet covers with brand new ones. Your outlets will look discolored and old over time. So, changing them out for new, fresh covers, can have quite an visual impact on any room.
Taking on home improvement projects by yourself can be very exciting. That said, sometimes it's best to bring in a professional. Still, it's a good idea to have some familiarity with home improvement techniques to handle small repairs and improvements on your own. These are all important aspects of home improvement. By following the advice presented here, you will be off to a good start.
