The family of a local hero who lost his life during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center can now breath a sigh of relief now that a vandalized mural honoring the 9/ll firefighter is now almost completely restored.
The vandal's tag, "SIPS," defaced the firefighter's face on the mural, which honored firefighter Peter Alexander Bielfeld, who died saving lives on 9/11.
Artist Eddie Gonzalez, painted the mural near the house where the firefighter lived, on the side of a deli on Olinville Avenue and Thwaits Place. Gonzalez painted a second mural near his firehouse, Ladder 52 in the south Bronx.
A suspect, 16-year-old Avery Prince, was arrested in the desecration of the memorial, painting his tag "SIPS" over the face of fallen firefighter Peter Alexander Bielfeld. Prince lived close by to where the hero once called home.
Gonzalez agreed to volunteer his time once again in the cause of restoring the mural.
DiPierro and the 49th Precinct council received a donation from Jampol Hardware at 678 Morris Park Avenue, which donated several hundred dollars worth of spray and outdoor paint. An expensive sign paint from Ronan Paints, at 749 E. 135 Street, was also donated to the cause.
The 49th Precinct Council, under the direction of its president Joe Thompson, also donated money it had raised for the project.
Bielfeld compared the desecration of the mural to someone going into a cemetery and knocking over a tombstone.
DiPierro was proud about the completion of the restored mural, and felt that it would not be vandalized again.

Q: Batch build does nothing in Visual Studio 2017 We've just migrated our IDE from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2017, although projects are going to be kept with Visual Studio 2010's toolset for a time (a lot of external dependencies are not compatible with Visual Studio 2017 yet). All are C++ projects.
My current problem is that the Batch build is doing nothing: I launch it, select all the projects and none of the three options (Build, Rebuild, Clean) does anything.
How do I fix it? Maybe it is just a bug of Visual Studio 2017?

*

*Visual Studio 2017 version: 15.2 (26430.6), no newer updates are available

*Output window after executing the batch build:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Things I've tried

*

*A similar issue is reported in the visualstudio.com forum and has no answers yet.

*I've already tried disabling the faster project load option (menu Options → Text Editor → C/C++ → Experimental → Enable Faster Project Load), as suggested in this post and nothing.

*This other post in the same forum reported the problem in Visual Studio 2017 15.1, and it was supposedly solved in 15.2, but, again, nothing.

Update: the issue is still present in latest 15.2 version (26430.12).

A: I apologize: it seems that I didn't follow the instructions of the second solution listed in the question (this one) correctly. In conclusion:

Disabling the Lightweight Solution Load actually fixed the problem.
Faster Project Load is not the same as Lightweight Solution Load.

On the other hand, disabling this feature will increase the load time of your solution (it will depend on the size of projects) but, at least for me, that's better compared with manually building dozens of independent projects for several configurations.

Here are two ways to disable it:

*

*Per-solution: Right-click on the solution and the choose the Disable Lightweight Solution Load. It is a bit confusing because it doesn't have any feedback; the solution title keeps displaying the lightweight suffix, and if you right-click again on it the button still says Disable. You have to close the project and loaded again.

*Globally: Go to menu Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → General, and uncheck Lightweight solution load for all solutions. Again, re-load your solutions.

A: Delete the *.pdb files in the solution folder and try the batch building again. This is the only solution that works for me.

I'm the type of traveler that always has to have the most efficient packing system and luggage.
Jason and I travel a lot, me moreso than him, and it helps tremendously if you have the right tools.
I'm going to share with you all my travel essentials today.
The items are tried and true in my own travels and while it might not work for everyone, it has certainly worked for me and I can't imagine traveling without them!
I didn't think I would like hard luggage because how it opens up and how you can't really rest the top against the wall. You have to pretty much lay it out flat; taking up more space on the hotel floor.
HOWEVER, after many years of using soft luggage and then seeing the new AWAY suitcases, I have since changed my mind and believe that hard luggage is the way to go.
I like how much sturdier they are and for some reason, I feel like I can fit way more into hard luggage than soft luggage.
After several years, my soft luggage was all misshapen and the fabric was all gross.
Hard luggage doesn't really get misshapen unless, I suppose, the baggage handlers throw your suitcase, but even then, they seem to hold up better. It's easy to wipe the outside, too, when you get home with an antibacterial wipe.
I bought the AWAY Bigger Carry-On because if you can have a tiny bit more space and still have it be a carry-on, why not have that?! The only thing is, on international carriers, you can't bring it on the plane but when we travel international, we never bring a carry-on. Just a backpack and handbag.
More recently, we bought the AWAY Medium suitcase and holy crap you guys, it fits A LOT but it doesn't look that big nor does it feel that way when you are pulling it around the hotel.
Jason and I each have a bigger carry-on and a medium. It has truly made our trips better!
Although not pictured in the above, I actually do use packing cubes on every trip.
I first bought packing cubes about 7-8 years ago and they are STILL in perfect shape.
You know I love a good chance to organize which is why I love packing cubes so much.
They keep everything organized and you can fit so much more into your suitcase if you roll your clothes into the packing cubes.
I like that most packing cube sets come in three different sizes so one can be for like pants/jeans/bulkier material, one can be for underwear/socks, and the other can be for tshirts/tops.
I have far too many toiletry bags than I care to admit but again, it helps me stay organized.
I bought this Cuyana travel case set several years ago and I love them. They fit so much and they're such great quality.
I like the flat bottoms because you can sit them up on hotel bathroom counters.
I also find that Vera Bradley toiletry bags are great too. They're typically lined with a waterproof liner so I tend to put my liquids into that but I also have a small one that I carry-on with for pills, hand sanitizer, and other items to aid in the prevention of getting sick while traveling.
I use this Cuyana zippered tote for both work and travel.
The amount of STUFF it can hold is INCREDIBLE.
I bought the insert they have on their site for this and it separates out my laptop and holds stuff in its side pockets.
But just the amount you can fit in the middle is amazing.
Although, it will be like carrying bricks throughout the airport but I still feel it's worth it for the amount I can pack in it.
I should do a "what is in my carry-on tote" some time. You will be shocked at what I have been able to stuff into this tote.
Jason usually carries a large backpack.
He usually carries our travel snacks and some electronics for me.
This is an old photo below but the backpack on the left is what he uses.
It is very deceiving at how much he can fit in that too!!
What are your MUST-HAVE travel essentials?
I'm always in the market for new travel items so lay it on me!
There are affiliate links within this post.
I like a bag that has a secret pocket inside it. I always put emergency money(in case of being robbed) and a GPS tracking device(in case the bag is stolen or lost).

OVERNIGHT REVIEW: Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall

Los Angeles Philharmonic; Gustavo Dudamel, conductor
John Adams: Tromba lontana; Esteban Benzecry: Rituales Amerindios;
Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique
Friday, September 30, 2011 • Walt Disney Concert Hall
Next concerts: tonight at 8 p.m. and tomorrow at 2 p.m.ß
Info: www.laphil.com
The 2011-2012 Los Angeles Philharmonic season, which opened last night at Walt Disney Concert Hall, is easily the most ambitious set of programs in Gustavo Dudamel's three-year tenure as the orchestra's music director and is quite likely the most wide-ranging repertoire for any United States orchestra.
This weekend's performances of Argentine composer Esteban Benzecry's Rituales Amerindios is one of four U.S. premieres for the season, along with seven world premieres and five west coast first-time performances. Nine of the works on the season are L.A. Phil commissions. And that doesn't take into account the complete cycle of Mahler symphonies, with Dudamel leading both the Phil and his Simón Bolivár Symphony Orchestra for a month early next year in Los Angeles and then on tour in Caracas, or the beginning of the orchestra's cycle of the Mozart/Da Ponte opera trilogy later in 2012.
Last night, after opening with John Adams's fanfare in name only, Tromba lontana — notable for having trumpeters Tom Hooten and Christopher Still hiding amid Frank Gehry's "overturned French fries" wooden pipes surrounding the organ loft — Benzecry's 25-minute, three-movement tone poem got the list of premieres off to a rousing start.
In brief introductory remarks, Dudamel lauded the 41-year-old composer (who was born in Portugal and lives in Paris) as being able to create an amazing atmosphere of moods and colors, a description that was right on. Rituales Amerindios (Amerindian Rituals) is an important piece, another example of Dudamel's vision — articulated when he was hired — to broaden the orchestra's (and audience's) musical framework to all of the Americas.
Written in 2008 on a commission from the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (the third ensemble that Dudamel heads) and dedicated to the conductor, Rituales Amerindios focuses on the roots, rhythms and mythology of three pre-Columbian Latin-American cultures: Aztec (in Mexico), Maya (southern Mexico) and Inca (Peru and other Andean countries).
Along the way, Benzecry manages to achieve a myriad of amazing sounds using only standard orchestra instruments, thus creating some magical effects. One example: during the first movement, Ehécatl (an Aztec wind god), Benzecry manages to conjure a violent storm without using a wind machine as Richard Strauss did in his Alpine Symphony.
The second movement, Chaac (a Mayan water god) sounded like a Latin American version of Debussy's La Mer with a forest containing some of Messiaen's birds added into the mix.
The final movement, Illapa (an Incan thunder god), used the Phil's percussionists — Joseph Pereira, timpanist, along with Raynor Carroll, Perry Dreiman, Alexander Frederick and Nicholas Stoup — who hammered, rattled, rang, and otherwise manipulated an impressive array of percussion instruments (glockenspiel, bass drum, suspended cymbals, bongos, metal wind chimes, rainstick, claves, tam-tams, vibraslap, guiro, maracas, grelots, bamboo wind chimes, mark tree, wood blocks, water gong, slapstick, marimba, tom-toms, vibraphone, and congas) plus Joanne Pearce Martin on piano, celesta and Lou Anne Neil on harp — to create not only massive waves of thunder and lightning but also lead the way in a riotous conclusion of orchestral color.
Dudamel conducted confidently (although he did use a score) and the orchestra — as it usually does with Latin American fare — played the piece as if they were born to it. The audience responded exuberantly, particularly for the composer who was in the audience and participated in the preconcert lecture, as well.
Hector Berlioz was the first significant composer to create thematic tone poems, using instruments to create an amazing palette of colorful sounds, so concluding this weekend's concerts with Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique made eminent sense. Perhaps appropriately, since the work is an autobiographical setting of the composer hallucinating, Dudamel's concept was schizophrenic with moments of sublime beauty concluding with a haywire ending.
The Phil's management goes all out for performances of this 55-minute sprawl, employing four harpist for a relatively few minutes of playing in the second movement, four timpanists (playing on two sets of instruments), along two gigantic bells for the Dies Irae portion of the final movement that look like scions of the Liberty Bell (minus the crack, of course) and make enough noise to wake the dead.
Last night, Dudamel opened the first movement, Reveries:Passions, in unhurried luxury, jumped (literally) feet first into the pulsating middle section, and brought the final cadences down to a rich, mellow conclusion. The ball scene emphasized elegance. The third movement — Scene in the Country — featured moments of supreme magic, particularly in the plaintive English horn solos from Carolyn Hove and the wistful echoing oboist, Marion Arthur Kuszyk, offstage at the rear of the hall.
To Dudamel's mind, the March to the Scaffold is a doom-laden affair, while the final movement, Dream of a Witches Sabbath, becomes a raucous celebration of evil (overshadowed by those massive bells, of course). For about 50 minutes, it was riveting. Unfortunately, Dudamel raced so quickly to the end in the final measures that ensemble precision got jettisoned overboard. Nonetheless, the evening fully lived up to the description from Asadour Santourian in the preconcert lecture: Starts nocturnally, journeys to Latin America, ends in hell.
Hemidemisemiquavers:
• The preconcert lecture by Santrourian, artistic advisor and administrator of the Aspen Music Festival and School, is worth hearing, in part because Benzecry showed up to deliver his thoughts on Rituales Amerindios. Since the composer struggles with English, were I in charge I might have had him talk in Spanish and have someone on hand to translate, if for no other reason than to make him feel more comfortable.
• Five of the Phil's new members are spotlighted in the printed program: Principal Horn Andrew Bain from Australia; Lyndon Johnston Taylor, who rejoins the orchestra as principal second violinist after serving for four years as assistant concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony; Nathan Cole, first associate concertmaster, who actually began this summer at Hollywood Bowl, and his wife, Akiko Tarumoto, who returns to the orchestra as a second violinist (both had been with the Chicago Symphony); and Michael Myers, who joins the trumpet section.
• As noted in my review of Tuesday's gala concert (LINK), Thomas Hooten, principal trumpet of the Atlanta Symphony, is filling in this month while Donald Green is on sabbatical and Daniel Rothmuller is back this season serving as associate principal cellist emeritus.

SNAP food stamps in New York assist household members struggling with low incomes, so they can purchase the healthy food and groceries they need. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal initiative, but state agencies manage benefits, and in New York, food stamps are helmed by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA). The process to get NY SNAP food stamps includes an application followed by an interview with the OTDA officials, if the application for SNAP benefits is approved.
What is the food stamps guidelines and procedures in NY? Limited food stamp resources mean the OTDA uses a broad range of eligibility standards to determine which families need food assistance the most. For instance, the OTDA will deny an application for SNAP food stamps in NY if there is an error on the application form or missing information. Additionally, an application may be rejected because the provided information could not be verified by officials. Furthermore, a rejected SNAP application for New York food stamp benefits may occur because potential beneficiaries have a history of criminal activity or because a household makes too much income. In NY, SNAP benefits petitioners may use an eligibility screener to quickly learn if requirements match.
Applicants who are denied food stamp benefits should review information about food stamps program appeals in New York. As long as the SNAP benefit appeal letter is legitimate in nature, a food stamp rejection overturn is possible in the state. However, SNAP appeals in NY must be filed by designated due dates, or else the requests cannot be considered.
If officials grant New York food stamp benefits, a household will receive an Electronic Benefit Transfer card, or EBT card, which works like a debit card toward the purchase of food. The EBT card works at most major grocery stores throughout the state, in addition to convenience store outposts and farmers markets. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture enforces which items can and cannot be purchased with food stamps in NY; items not eligible for SNAP must be taken care of through other financial means.
Find important details about food stamps program benefits and what is required to receive food stamps in New York by reviewing the following sections.

Q: Null objects appearing in ObservableCollection using async methods I have a LogManager that uses some async methods to add to and read from an (async)observablecollection (both encounter the same error). However when running I sometimes have a null value added to this collection and I can't find out where it is coming from.
I tried add breakpoints on the method Log and the async method with a simple if, but there I don't get any null values. The only place I encounter them is when I'm trying to save the logs to a file, in which they are already added to the collection..
At first I thought it was because I was calling the function too fast (it is in a while true loop, that can be canceled though) because of items being added to the collection while I was retrieving values from them.
Right now I got it partially 'fixed' by removing the null object from the collection when I encounter one, though I find it disturbing as it might be a Log I shouldn't be missing.
I'll continue searching, if anyone notices something or want me to add other methods I used to understand better please let me know, any help is appreciated!
Here is my asynchronous SaveLogs function and SaveLoop:
    private static Task SaveLoop(CancellationTokenSource cancel)
    {
        return Task.Run(async () =>
            {
                while (true)
                {
                    int count = MessageList.Count;

                    if (count > SavedLogCount)
                    {
                        await SaveLogs();
                    }

                    if (cancel.IsCancellationRequested)
                        break;
                }
            }, cancel.Token);
    }

    private static Task SaveLogs(bool startLogging = false)
    {
        return Task.Run(() =>
            {
                int count = MessageList.Count;
                int savedLogCount = SavedLogCount;
                int logsSaved = 0;

                Console.WriteLine("{0} logs to save", (count - savedLogCount));

                SavedLogCount = count;

                if (count > savedLogCount)
                {
                    string logPath = "logs\\";
                    string logFile = StartTime.ToString("MM-dd-yy_HH-mm-ss") + ".log";
                    string fullPath = Path.Combine(logPath, logFile);

                    if (!Directory.Exists(logPath))
                    {
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(logPath);
                    }

                    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fullPath, !startLogging))
                    {
                        int item = -1;
                        try
                        {
                            for (int i = savedLogCount; i < count; i++)
                            {
                                item = i;
                                LogMessage currentMessage = MessageList[i];

                                    writer.WriteLine("Null message");

                                    count = i;
                                    // This is something I don't really want to use
                                    MessageList.Remove(null);

                            Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", e.Message);
                            Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
                        }
                    }
                    SavedLogCount = count;
                }
            });
    }

Optimized code (I hope?)
If not, please tell me what I'm doing wrong or where I could improve, thanks in advance!
Improved Log method:
    public static void Log(LogMessage logMessage, [CallerMemberName]string method = "", [CallerFilePath]string path = "")
    {
        logMessage.SetCaller(method, path);
        if (!logQueue.Post(logMessage))
            Console.WriteLine("Could not add message to queue");
    }

New AddLogsToCollection method:
    private static async Task AddLogsToCollection(BufferBlock<LogMessage> queue)
    {
        // Repeat while logQueue is not empty
        while (await queue.OutputAvailableAsync())
        {
            LogMessage logMessage = await queue.ReceiveAsync();

            // Add to MessageList
            MessageList.Add(logMessage);

            // Add to CurrentMessageList
            CurrentMessageList.Add(logMessage);

            // Add to FilteredMessageList
            if (logMessage.Level >= FilterLevel)
            {
                FilteredMessageList.Add(logMessage);
            }
        }
    }

Improved SaveLoop task:
    private static Task SaveLoop(CancellationTokenSource cancel)
    {
        return Task.Run(async () =>
            {
                while (true)
                {
                    int logsInQueue = logQueue.Count;

                    // Check if there are any new logs to be processed

A: I recommend that you use BufferBlock<LogMessage>; it's an async-ready producer/consumer queue.
If BufferBlock isn't available on your platform, you can use an async-ready producer/consumer queue I built around a Queue. It uses async locks and condition variables from my AsyncEx library (which also contains the async-ready producer/consumer queue).
Update: Your posting looks fine, but your receiving is unnecessarily complicated. I would do something like this:
private static async Task SaveLoop(CancellationTokenSource cancel)
{
  string logPath = "logs\\";
  string logFile = StartTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss") + ".log";
  string fullPath = Path.Combine(logPath, logFile);
  if (!Directory.Exists(logPath))
    Directory.CreateDirectory(logPath);
  using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fullPath, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read, 8192, useAsync: true)
  using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fileStream))
  {
    while (true)
    {
      LogMessage logMessage = await queue.ReceiveAsync(cancel);
      await writer.WriteAsync(string.Format("[{0}][{1}] ", currentMessage.Time.ToString("HH:mm:ss:fff"), currentMessage.Level.ToString()));
      await writer.WriteAsync(currentMessage.Message);
      await writer.WriteLineAsync(string.Format(" ({0} - {1})", currentMessage.Method, currentMessage.Location));
    }
  }

Police Search For Muggers Who Attacked 84-Year-Old
Ben Yakas
Modified Feb 19, 2011
Police are searching for three suspects who robbed an 84-year-old woman near Gramercy Park in Manhattan. The frail 84-year-old, who asked that her name not be released, says she was hit in the back and knocked down as the muggers took her purse: "I was easy prey. I was walking all alone, and looking very vulnerable. I guess someone saw it as easy money," she told the News.
This was the latest in a string of elderly muggings that have occured recently, including a 90-year-old man who was robbed in Harlem, an 81-year-old woman who suffered a broken shoulder during a robbery at the Fulton St. subway station, and a 96-year-old man who swore revenge on his muggers.

Trump / Russia Pdf Free Download Version
The ascendance of Donald Trump to the presidential candidacy of the Republican Party has been both remarkable and, to most commentators, unlikely. In The Rise of Trump: America's Authoritarian Spring, Matthew MacWilliams argues that Trump's rapid rise through a bewildered Republican Party hierarchy is no anomaly; rather, MacWilliams argues, it is the most recent expression of a long-standing theme in American political life, the tendency and temptation to an ascriptive politics—a political view that builds its basic case on ascribing to any relatively disempowered group (whether defined by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, or other identifying category) a certain set of qualities that justify discriminatory treatment.
The ascriptive tradition in American politics, though longstanding, has generally been kept to a relatively small minority—a minority whose rights, perhaps paradoxically, have been protected by the principles of Madisonian democracy, even though central to its worldview is the need and urgency of limiting the rights of some. It has found champions in years past in such figures as Andrew Jackson, Huey Long, Joseph McCarthy, and Pat Buchanan. But in Donald Trump this tradition has found a significant new voice, one emboldened by deeper shifts in the American political landscape. Trump's swift and unsettling rise to the pinnacle of presidential politics may point toward the emergence of more significant and substantial questions about the future course of a democratic government committed to principles of equality and the freedom of expression, association, and conscience.

Telitz, O'Ward both formally confirmed for Indy Lights step-up
By Tony DiZinnoMar 1, 2017, 11:01 AM EST
Telitz tests No. 9 car. Photo: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, LLC Photography
The two protagonists for the 2016 Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires championship, Aaron Telitz and Pato O'Ward, settled who'd win the Mazda Motorsports Advancement Scholarship in September at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Telitz took the crown, and would be confirmed for his graduation into the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires in a Soul Red-liveried car.
While the graduation was known in September, it's taken until today before all the i's were dotted and t's crossed on the formal confirmation of Telitz's seat in the No. 9 Belardi Auto Racing Dallara IL-15 Mazda, thus ending months of informal chatter about the seat and even a quick inside joke that Telitz's team was "Real Big Secret," a joke that spread to social media.
In another humorous twist, O'Ward, who battled Telitz all season with Team Pelfrey a year ago, has been confirmed for his own step up to Indy Lights in the No. 3 Pelfrey entry on exactly the same day. The 17-year-old Mexican will join Pelfrey's Indy Lights program for this week's Spring Training test at the Homestead-Miami Speedway road course and the season opener at St. Petersburg.
Clearly, the two drivers still can't get away from each other after pushing each other all last year in Pro Mazda.
The long and short of that background is that these two will round out the expected field of 15 cars for the season-opening weekend, which is only one car lower than 2016 despite the withdrawal of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and its four cars. Belardi (has grown from two to three cars), Carlin (three to four) and Andretti Autosport (three to four) have all added an extra car to pick up three of the four-ex-Schmidt Peterson cars.

Telitz, the 25-year-old from Rice Lake, Wisconsin, was invited by Brian Belardi's team to Watkins Glen last fall for the introduction, and completed a comprehensive testing program over the winter – primarily in Florida and also at Gateway Motorsports Park – in preparation for his step up.
"John Brunner, the team's general manager, and [team owner] Brian Belardi invited me to the IndyCar/Indy Lights race at Watkins Glen last fall before the Pro Mazda season ended," Telitz said. "I had a head-start in knowing the guys and seeing how the team works and knowing their cars are fast. They won that weekend and then again at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. I just really enjoyed how the Belardi guys worked. They were really professional and Brian is from Wisconsin. It's great to have that home-state connection, as most of my personal supporters are from Wisconsin."
"All of us at Mazda are thrilled to have Aaron carrying Mazda's Soul Red color in 2017 with Belardi Auto Racing," said John Doonan, director of Mazda Motorsports. "To see a talent like Aaron achieve success in the Mazda Road to Indy is ultimately what the program is all about. When he pulled into victory lane after winning the Pro Mazda Championship last fall, I told Aaron that he needed to savor the moment and remember all of the challenges he faced getting there. We cannot play favorites in the Mazda Road to Indy, but we wish Aaron the very best as he opens this new chapter in his racing career and is one step closer to the Verizon IndyCar series."
Telitz completes the team's three-car lineup alongside Santiago Urrutia and Shelby Blackstock, series veterans who shift to Belardi from Schmidt Peterson and Andretti, respectively. Telitz's additional supporters include Rice Lake Weighing Systems, Rising Star Racing, Morrie's Chippewa Valley Mazda, Styled Aesthetic, Fred Thomas Resort, Team USA Scholarship, among others.

For O'Ward, the Indy Lights drive is a slight surprise as he's also committed to a full season in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship PC class with Performance Tech Motorsports, confirmed after he was part of the Brent O'Neill-led team's victory at the 55th Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
O'Ward is the third consecutive driver confirmed to a St. Petersburg-only weekend with Team Pelfrey. Scott Hargrove was confirmed for the same role last year with Pelfrey and in 2015 with the team's former incarnation as 8Star Motorsports. Hargrove continued through the month of May with Pelfrey last year but only raced at St. Petersburg in 2015.
With O'Ward's eight-race IMSA schedule, there's only one conflict weekend between PC races and Indy Lights, the weekend of July 8-9. PC races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Indy Lights at Iowa Speedway both on July 9.
Interestingly, O'Ward parlayed a first two weekends-only announced deal into an eventual full-time role with Team Pelfrey in Pro Mazda last year, so he's got experience in succeeding despite no guarantee of further races. As last year, he carries support from Gap Guard and Topo Chico.
"I am back with Team Pelfrey in Indy Lights for the first official Series test and for the first race of the season in St. Petersburg," said O'Ward, whose teammate is the very experienced Juan Piedrahita. "A big thank you goes to the creator of Gap Guard, better known as Dale Pelfrey, once again for the opportunity and the whole Team Pelfrey crew as well for the continuous support they have given me the last few years."
"We are very excited to confirm Pato on the Indy Lights front," added Team Pelfrey IL team manager, Gary Neal. "Not only does this mean we have an exceptionally talented driver, but it's also great to see the Team Pelfrey ladder system in full swing. We are looking forward to a strong outing at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg."
Three other Mazda Road to Indy signings have come in in the last few days, as well:
Team Pelfrey rounds out its three-car Pro Mazda lineup with Russian driver Nikita Lastochkin and Brazilian driver Carlos Cunha joining the previously announced TJ Fischer, the young Californian. Cunha has Formula 3 Brazil experience while Lastochkin steps up after two years in USF2000.
Exclusive Autosport rounds out its three-car USF2000 lineup with karting veteran Dev Gore joining a pair of third-year drivers in Parker Thompson and Luke Gabin.
Testing continues today and tomorrow at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Bolivar getting in shape for season

Bolivar getting in shape for season Woodrow Lowe, Bolivar's first-year head coach, is focused on his team being conditioned. Check out this story on jacksonsun.com: http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2014/07/31/hs-football-bolivar-getting-shape-season/13445479/

BOLIVAR – When Woodrow Lowe left Bolivar before the 2013 season after a year as defensive coordinator to help at Rossville Christian, he said he thought there was a lot of potential for the Tigers to be good.
But a combination of injuries and lack of conditioning hurt Bolivar's efforts last year, especially early in the season, and they were unable to make good on the athleticism each player brought to the team.
Now Lowe is back as head coach, and he and the coaching staff are trying to make sure they take care of the aspects of the team they can control.
"Conditioning has been a big emphasis for me, especially early in the summer," Lowe said. "These guys are too good and too athletic to take the losses they took last year, and we're trying to make sure they're ready to go when the season gets here."
Cramps kept some of Bolivar's top athletes off the field in the second half of games early in the season last year, and some of those games like Crockett County and Adamsville exploded from two- or three-score games to 40-point routs.
"That's what we're trying to avoid," Lowe said. "If your guys can't go for four quarters, I'm not sure there's a coach in the country at any level that could've won those games."
The Tigers have a couple of good athletes that are gaining a bit of college interest to build their offense around. One is 2013 All-West Tennessee Junior of the Year Keyon Crisp. When the regular season ended, he was the area's leading rusher with more than 1,800 yards.
His cousin, Javonte Crisp, is a receiver who has a big enough frame to attract the attention of other college scouts.
"There are a lot of good-looking athletes on this team, so I'm excited to see what they can do and try to get them prepared for the long haul of the season," Lowe said.

When Mobileye NV (NYSE:MBLY) opened its IPO last month, little did anyone expect it to surge at the rate at which it has been going and so meteoric has been its rise that Morgan-Stanley has officially stated that even a target of $100 seems well within reach now. It was Ravi Shanker on behalf of the New-York based bank who appeared on CNBC to justify why it had so much of faith on this Jerusalem based makers of driver assistance systems.
One of the first points that he quoted and reiterated several times was the lack of competition as far as Mobileye NV (NYSE:MBLY) was concerned. Being a new company, its deep entrenchment in technology ensured that it was likely to enjoy a good visibility over the next 3-5 years courtesy of using about 90% different technology systems as compared to other firms in the market. This translates into virtually no presence of any competition in the near future, thus spelling a phase of good fortune for the company.
Overall increase in the share value of the company has been 9% since the previous month and there has been a substantial upsurge where the volume of shares being traded is concerned. Total rise in the Mobileye NV (NYSE:MBLY) stock is estimated at 28.2% within a month's duration and this is sufficient enough to grant investors the confidence of watching their money grow.

Neanderthal 1 (также Feldhofer 1, Neandertal 1, «Неандерталь 1») — принятое в научной литературе наименование номенклатурного типа (голотипа) биологического вида Homo neanderthalensis. Ископаемые останки были обнаружены в гроте  в середине августа 1856 года в долине Неандерталь, части долины реки Дюссель, в области Бергишенланд, в 13 км к востоку от Дюссельдорфа, и в 1864 году были впервые описаны в научном журнале под названием, под которым известны до сих пор. Эти останки, однако, не был первыми обнаруженными останками данного вида: значение более ранних находок ( и ) на момент их обнаружения не было признано важным, поэтому этим находкам не было присвоено каких-либо отдельных наименований, которые затем могли бы дать название виду.

Ископаемые останки Neanderthal 1 с 1877 года являются экспонатом музея земли Рейнланд в Бонне, датируются возрастом 39 900 ± 620 лет до настоящего времени. В 2000 году раскопки продолжились, и было обнаружено ещё 40 человеческих зубов и фрагментов костей, в том числе часть височной и скуловой костей, которые можно было прикрепить точно к верхней части черепа. Осколок кости можно было точно сопоставить с левой бедренной костью в области колена. С 2000 года ископаемые останки второго индивида, обнаруженные в данном месте и определённые как останки неандертальца, получили наименование Neanderthal 2 или Feldhofer 2 (датируется возрастом 39 240 ± 670 л. н.).

В 1997 году смогли получить митохондриальную ДНК из плечевой кости типового образца Neanderthal 1 — первого в истории образца мтДНК неандертальца. Митохондриальных геномы поздних неандертальцев Feldhofer 1, Goyet Q57-1 из бельгийской пещеры  в Бельгии и Vindija 33.25 из хорватской пещеры Виндия отличаются только одной парой оснований (bp) от митохондриальной ДНК неандертальца из бельгийского грота .

Для расшифровки генома неандертальца было отобрано шесть образцов кости от пяти неандертальских особей, происходящих с четырёх стоянок: образцы двух неандертальцев Feldhofer 1 и Feldhofer 2 из грота  (Германия), образцы Vindija 33.25 и Vindija 33.16 (возраст ~44 тыс. л. н.) из пещеры Виндия (Хорватия), образец Sidron 1253 (возраст ~49 тыс. л. н.) из пещеры Эль-Сидрон (Испания) и образец Mezmaiskaya 1 (возраст 60−70 тыс. л. н.) из пещеры Мезмайская (Россия).

We fell in love with Barjac on a chance visit many years ago. We jumped at the opportunity to buy the house by the 'swift' tree when it was offered for sale and it's now been fully renovated.
Originally part of the town's fortifications, the tiny strip of houses next to the chateau dates from the Renaissance and ours was a weaver's before being abandoned earlier last century. It's now divided into an upper and lower apartment. Many of the original features have been restored along with bright new kitchens and bathrooms.
"There's an ancient plane tree that stands on the Rue Du Chateau where the road slopes steeply up to the castle.


To celebrate the launch of Sustainable Tipp, we would like to invite you to join us for the All Ireland Colleges Final 2019 between St Patrick's and UCD at Moyne Templetuohy GAA.
Moyne Templetuohy GAA recently availed of 50% funding through the SEAI Better Energy Communities programme to upgrade the lighting system around the pitch. The upgrades were managed by Tipperary Energy Agency and the club are now the first in the county with an LED Lighting system. The new lights will see approximately a 50% reduction in energy consumption.
Join us on the night to see the new lights and speak to the Tipperary Energy Agency team about how your club can also avail of this funding to carry out energy efficient upgrades. Light refreshments will also be available after the game.

UWGB Transformed Elizabeth by…
…introducing her to academic and musical rock stars.
Although she hasn't won a Grammy or performed in sold-out arenas, Elizabeth Tanenbaum is a rock star. And she owes her success to UW-Green Bay.
When she began at UWGB, Elizabeth was a Music Education major, but after her first year, she knew that it wasn't the right fit for her. Elizabeth decided to switch to a Musical Theater major and selected an Arts Management minor "simply because it sounded relevant," which Elizabeth insists was "the biggest underestimation in my life to date."
Once her academic path was clear, Elizabeth credits Ellen Rosewall for "facilitating the opportunity to participate in creative activities within the arts and facilitating the opportunity for others to be creative." Ultimately, this emphasis on creative endeavors allowed Elizabeth the chance to work with one of her favorite musicians, rock star Willy Porter.
"Professor Rosewall always encouraged community engagement. For an assignment, we had to create an earned income project, develop a budget and a marketing plan. She encouraged us to truly research the budget, make phone calls and speak with professionals about the project," Elizabeth explains. "I chose to hold a concert (theoretical, for the project) and chose one of my favorite musicians, Willy Porter, as the performer. Upon Ellen's recommendation, I called Willy Porter's manager and she was incredibly helpful. Fast forward to graduate school at the University of Oregon, and Willy Porter was playing at a local venue. Of course I went, and following the performance, I went up and introduced myself to Willy. I told him how helpful his manager had been for my project for Arts Management and thanked him for that. He replied, 'I remember you and your Arts Management class! What a cool assignment and great learning experience for an aspiring arts leader!' I was star struck." After two years of studying with Professor Rosewall in the Arts Management program, Elizabeth applied for and was awarded a prestigious internship with the country's largest arts advocacy organization, Americans for the Arts, an internship that provided her with practical experience to help launch her career in Arts Management.
Upon graduation, Elizabeth was awarded the Chancellor's Leadership Medallion in December 2005 and was the Commencement Speaker at the December 2005 graduation. Knowing that she wanted to pursue continued education in Arts Management, Elizabeth applied and was accepted to the Arts Administration Master's Program at the University of Oregon, one of only ten students accepted that year. Elizabeth's Master's research was published twice in scholarly journals and, following graduation, she was offered a position as Public Art Manager for Clackamas County, Oregon. After a successful tenure there, Elizabeth returned home and, for the past five years, has served as the Executive Director for New Visions Gallery located at the Marshfield Clinic. Now, things have come full circle for Elizabeth: with Professor Rosewall listed on her CV as a reference and in her cover letter, she will be teaching Arts Management full time at the University of Oregon.
"I credit Professor Ellen Rosewall and her support for my success," Elizabeth explains. "She not only impacted me during my time at UW-Green Bay, she continues to be a mentor for me in my professional life. Ellen is the reason I am doing what I am today. Her enthusiasm for the subject matter is contagious, she encourages the best out of everyone, and she does so much for the arts management field nationwide. My experience of learning from Professor Ellen Rosewall and her excellent Arts Management program has opened doors for me professionally. I just accepted a position teaching Arts Management at the University of Oregon where they use Professor Rosewall's arts management textbook, as her program is truly renown. I would not be where I am today without her support and guidance."

DEPLETED Widnes Vikings should have at least two forwards back from injury for Saturday's Coral Challenge Cup fifth-round clash against York City Knights at Halton Stadium, kick off 7.30pm.
There will also need to be late fitness checks on some key personnel that missed the Championship loss at Batley Bulldogs where head coach Kieron Purtill was down to his last 16 fit first-team players.
Youngster Jayden Hatton was called in at the last minute, having played almost 80 minutes on Friday for the under 19s, just to make sure Vikings had 17 on the teamsheet.
"Hopefully we'll have a couple more back in, so Sam Wilde should be right this week and Ted Chapelhow should be ok with his facial injury," said Purtill.
"Again we'll be touch and go with Anthony Gelling and Danny Craven.
"The squad is a bit thin at the moment.
"The squad is a lot smaller than it used to be," he said.
"We lost two senior physios over that time, and a conditioner, and all those things start having an impact.
"We're struggling to get people seen with a physio on a daily basis so when you have to come to Thursday and name a squad you have to put people in just in case they get passed fit to play and unfortunately with just a little lack of proper treatment and getting on top of some minor niggles and injuries they're falling just a bit short at the moment.
"We have to deal with that as a club. Again, we've got to pull together as a squad.
"We've got to keep working hard and do our best and look forward to York on Saturday which will be a tough game.
"They've started off the season really well. They've got some really good players, a lot of experience in Ben Cockayne and some good young players as well. They've picked a few up from Hull KR.
"They seem to have quite a settled squad and are working hard for each other.


"Oh?" Fei didn't express his opinion at all. After drinking the red wine in his wine glass with a smile on his face, he paused for a second before gesturing at the stone chairs beside him, telling these noblemen to sit down.
This action passed the wrong signal to these noblemen again.
Sherwood was too excited, and his last bit of hesitation disappeared.
After Fei heard Sherwood's explanation and saw the latter's sincere stare, he nodded and swirled the wine in the glass; he didn't say anything directly or give his opinion.
Ryan Knight was quick. See that Fei's wine glass was emptying, he quickly refilled it for Fei.
It was clear that Sherwood tried to break the bond between Fei and Constantine, and it was a despicable move.
Fei nodded but still didn't say anything.
However, Sherwood was pleased. Since Fei nodded, he felt like the Imperial Martial Saint agreed with him.
But thank you. His blood mist will be satiating.

An algorithm is helping Chinese researchers determine if a coma patient will wake up again.
In some cases, all it takes is a major blow to the side of the head.
When somebody falls into a coma, they lose all motor functions. Brain activity slows significantly. In most cases, no external stimuli, like light or movement, can wake them up. It's notoriously difficult to determine their future state — will they ever wake up again?
Chinese neurologists at the Academy of Sciences and the PLA General Hospital in Beijing are working hard to develop a tool that can help doctors assess exactly that. But they've got a technological advantage generations of doctors before them didn't: machine learning. Algorithms like this one are part of a growing arsenal of data-driven tools that can help emotional family members and doctors make difficult decisions about a patient's treatment, or help determine when it's time to say goodbye.
The researchers fed fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) data from thousands of coma patients into a machine learning algorithm. That helped them understand how likely a particular patient would be to recover.
As it turns out, the results are very promising: "We have successfully predicted a number of patients who regained consciousness after being initially determined to have no hope of recovery," the researchers told the South China Morning Post.
The algorithm was 90 percent accurate, the researchers found. And they have already used the technique on more than 300 hundred patients from all over China. They hope the same technology could help more of the estimated 50,000 "patients with chronic disturbance of consciousness" in China.
The researchers in Beijing are not suggesting that machines should have the final word on deciding whether coma patients live or die. "When we informed the family of the AI score, we always told them it should only [affect] 20 to 50 percent in their decision," Yang Yi, a doctor in the neurosurgery department at PLA General Hospital and researcher on the project tells the SCMP.
In fact, now that we have technology that could help better predict whether coma patients will wake up, Kaufmann says it could be dangerous to allow human doctors to sift through the data alone. It's like self-driving cars — human drivers are far more prone to accidents than their autonomous counterparts. "It might be dangerous to leave the judgment of whether a person will wake up or not to the doctor because the error rate is much higher in human doctors than in machines," Kaufmann says.
Allowing a computer to influence the decision over a patient's life or death feels like an episode of Black Mirror, but it might actually be a good thing. It's quite likely machine learning algorithms will make their way into many more areas of healthcare — they might analyze crowdsourced medical data through high-tech wearables, or help a robotic surgeon operate on patients with little human input. With more data, they are bound to get even more accurate.
But a future where machines alone make that decision to pull the plug on a coma patient? We probably won't be there for a while.


I hit the jackpot a few days ago, grabbing the full size model almost as it was being thrown from the truck (yes, I'm getting bold).
Combining these foosball player pieces with the old airplane engine, a broken doll, a small drawer, newspapers, etc., I've just completed a new piece. The lower half is covered with glass.
Lucky you finding the foosball table. Love the pieces you are doing with the little men.
I have a little hoard of foosball men myself that I am slowly using in my assemblages. I found two tables a couple of years back and none since then! They are precious.As always Greg love your work!
Hi Grant, yes the foosball game was something that I had actually been looking for at the dump. I didn't actually find the entire game itself, just the plastic men on those long steel bars. I have a few weeks left of gleaning...might just find more!


Do you know what your zodiac sign says about you and your happiness? One of the best reasons to learn a little astrology is to understand how to make your life better. Your happiness quotient should be high on your list of important things in life. You only live once. You might as well have the time of your life.
Here are a few words on what makes each of the zodiac signs tick in terms of happiness. Scroll below to find your birthdate, match it up with your sign and see if what it says is true for you!
The sign of the Ram is a fire sign, thus prone to strong, fiery emotions. They easily get angry in the face of injustice. Thus, they are often happiest engaging in a career or hobby that satisfies their sense of justice.
Making things right in the world is what makes them sleep well at night. In fact, it pretty much makes them glow. They also often enjoy working with fire, such as being a glass blower or smith. If your day job is making you nuts, take up a fire-friendly hobby to help soothe the savage beast within.
The Bull has a strong materialistic streak. They are very physical and affectionate and have a love of money. Indulging their senses with a good massage, a warm bath, or completing their latest big business deal are some of the best ways to keep them happy.
They typically have a strong sense of values. It is important for them to live right.
The sign of the Twins loves to talk. They are typically happiest making social connections. If there are no contrary chart influences, they tend to be lighthearted and make friends easily. Playing social butterfly is one of their favorite roles. They are happiest communicating, thus are often drawn to careers in writing, publishing, broadcasting, or anything that similarly allows them to practice the art of communication.
People born under the sign of the Crab can be pretty crabby. They can be moody and prone to depression. But that doesn't mean happiness is out of reach. It is important for them to tend to their emotional health.
Solitude and music are sanity-savers for many people born under this sign. They make great leaders and often do well in the military or as a devoted parent. They are happiest pursuing careers or causes where they can feel a fierce sense of loyalty to a set of ideals or the people they serve.
The sign of the Lion is a magnanimous sort with a love of public attention. They like being the front person for an operation. Think lead singer or star of the show. They tend to have a sunny disposition generally. In most cases, they easily let go of life's little rain showers.
The sign of the Virgo is more private than many people expect. Like Taurus, this is an earth sign, so indulging the senses is one of the things that keeps them happy. Getting with like-minded types for a massage in private is one of the things that sounds like a perfect evening to those born under this sign. Virgo also lives to serve. They often are happiest with careers that serve others in some way.
The sign of the Scales is an intellectually oriented air sign. They are often drawn to law because it is both intellectual and involves a pursuit of justice. Like other air signs, they are typically chatty and sociable in a light-handed manner. Librans like helping other people and being a nexus for large social groups.
The secretive, guarded sign of the Scorpion has enormous depths. Most people do not know them as well as they think they do. They like their privacy and need time alone to unwind.
Some of them need quite a lot of down time because of the typically serious nature of their careers. It isn't unusual for them to have to keep secrets as part of their job, whether they work for the government, in finance, or some other industry where mum is the word.
Those born under the sign of the Archer often live well. They are restless and enjoy traveling. They get grumpy when cooped up for too long. They are often happiest if they choose careers or hobbies that regularly take them to new places so the scenery changes, such as truck driving, the military, or working for the airlines.
Although often taciturn, the sign of the Goat is one of the happier signs in the zodiac. They often are a bit like Santa Claus, a jolly old elf, even though you might not guess it upon your initial meeting. Like all earth signs, they are materialistic and enjoy indulging their senses.
They also get a lot out of being generous to other people. Of course, you have to have it to be able to give it, so one of the reasons it is better to give than to receive, is because being able to give means being pretty comfortable to begin with.
Related: What Does Your Chinese Zodiac Say About Your Happiness?
Amusingly, the sign of the Water Bearer is not a water sign, it is an air sign. Aquarians have a strong need to go their own way and cannot be happy if they don't honor that. They are frequently viewed by others as eccentric. They have a strong hunger for ideas, whether found in books or by talking with others.
Their social drive is more in line with wanting an audience than a close circle of friends. They like talking with many people, but not necessarily getting too close to anyone in particular. They get grumpy when hemmed in.
Those born under the sign of the Fish typically have strong spiritual needs. When those needs are denied, this sign can be prone to tragedy and may be drawn to substance abuse. They are sensitive souls and are often artists or other creative types with a strong need to express themselves in some way. They are happiest when living in a way that honors their idea of a spiritual life, even if it does not involve religion.
Now that you know what your zodiac sign says about you and your happiness, can you say you can relate to them?

Стасис-Витаутас Адамович Баранаускас (7 мая 1962, Каунас, Литовская ССР, СССР) — советский и литовский футболист. Игровое амплуа — нападающий. Мастер спорта СССР международного класса (1987).

Биография
Начал играть в футбол 1971 году в Каунасе. В 1977 поступил в футбольный интернат в Паневежисе. Первые тренеры — С. Станкус, В. Шилинскас. В 1979 играл в клубной команде «Экранас» (Каунас). В 1980 году окончил интернат и был принят в «Жальгирис».

В команде некоторое время осваивался, но уже в 1982 был игроком основы и внес свой заметный вклад в выход команды в высшую лигу.

В период с 1983 по 1986 годы проводил за сезон не менее 30 игр, часто подключался к атакам и забивал. 1987 год — самый успешный для «Жальгириса» и Баранаускаса. Вместе с командой он выиграл летнюю Универсиаду, а по итогам сезона взял бронзовые медали Чемпионата СССР. Сам же Баранаускас был включен под № 2 в список «33-х лучших» футболистов страны.

В 1988 году дебютировал в еврокубках — стал автором одного из 2-х мячей в первом еврокубковом матче «Жальгириса» против венской «Аустрии». Тем не менее, по сумме 2-х игр «Жальгирис» уступил дорогу австрийцам.

В январе 1990 перешёл в израильский клуб «Хапоэль» (Петах-Тиква). В новой команде дебютировал 20 января в домашней игре Чемпионата Израиля против «Хапоэля» из Иерусалима, вышел на замену на 87-й минуте. Всего за «Хапоэль» провел 12 игр в чемпионате и 4 игры в Кубке страны. Отличился лишь однажды — в последней игре чемпионата против «Маккаби» из Тель-Авива, внеся свой вклад в гостевую победу со счетом 4:1.

В новом сезоне 1990/91 провел 6 игр и забил 2 мяча в сентябре в Кубке Тото, а 6 октября провел полный домашний матч 1 тура в чемпионате против «Маккаби» из Нетаньи. Однако эта игра оказалась для него единственной в сезоне. В 1991 некоторое время (по февраль) играл в команде «Хапоэль» (Иерусалим).

С марта 1991 играл в Австрии за клубы 2-й лиги — «Аустрия» (Клагенфурт), «Фаворитен АК», «Виенна», «Винер СК/Герасдорф».

Перед началом сезона 1995/96 вернулся в Литву. Осенью 1995 провел 5 матчей за «Экранас» в чемпионате. В зимний перерыв перешёл в «Кареду», где стал выступать на позиции защитника. По итогам сезона взял серебряные медали и выиграл Кубок страны. В следующем сезоне стал чемпионом страны и дебютировал в играх на Кубок Кубков.

В сезоне 1997/98 провел 3 матча за «Кареду» в чемпионате и 1 игру в квалификации Лиги чемпионов, после чего перешёл в клуб «Панерис». Зимой 1998 года стал главным тренером «Панериса».

В сезоне 2001/02 в составе ветеранской команды города Вильнюса играл в Кубке Литвы, забил 1 мяч.

Энергичный, маневренный, трудолюбивый. Отличался голевым чутьем и умением играть на опережение в борьбе за мяч.

В 2002—2008 работал со студенческими командами в Университете им. Миколаса Ромериса. В 2008—2009 — тренер молодёжной сборной Литвы.

С 2009 по май 2012 возглавлял клуб РЕО из Вильнюса. Вместе с командой последовательно поднялся из 2-й лиги в А лигу. В настоящее время — главный тренер вильнюсского клуба Панерис.

В 2012 году, на 50-летие, был награждён медалью «За заслуги в спорте».

FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina (WTVD) -- A gas leak forced students and staff out of William H. Owen Elementary School in Fayetteville Monday morning.
According to authorities, the leak was reported just after 10:45 a.m. at the school in the 4500 block of Raeford Road.
Students and staff had already self-evacuated the building by the time fire and emergency crews arrived, officials said.
The Fayetteville Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Response Team were called to the scene to conduct air monitoring inside the building.
School maintenance and Piedmont Gas personnel were also at the scene assisting. The gas supply was shut off to the building as a precaution.
Students and faculty were allowed back into the school around noon.


Jacob: Mommy, bloo up da clouds!
Jacob: BLOO up da CLOUDS!
Annalise: Mom! I think in his Bible Class, they BLEW UP a CLOUD!!!
Me: No, I don't think they did that.
Annalise: YES. That is what he just said!!!
Me: Jacob, can you tell me again what you said?
Jacob: BLOONnn up da clouds!
Me: The balloon went up in the clouds?
Jacob: YES! BLOON up da clouds!
Me: Did your class send a balloon up to the clouds?
Jacob: YES! Bloon up da clouds! Dis (just) like JESUS!
Me: Ohhh! You sent a balloon up into the clouds, just like Jesus went up? You're so right, Jacob! Jesus went up into the clouds, to heaven, right?
Jacob: Wight, mommy. And He comin' back.
Me: Yes, Jacob. He's coming back some day. I can't wait.
Jacob: Yep. And He bringin' me BLOON back!!!
…Only if it happens soon, Jacob may be disappointed if Jesus comes with no balloon. Then again, maybe He would. Just for my boy, who is such a gift from God.
Kids are amazing! I love our church as well and how great they teach our babies!!! I was trying to think of a way to keep Jacob in KBC another year (as you know Ferndale does all day everyday K) 🙂 We have grown so much since coming to Sunrise, and I know our kids have as well! I love the stories that you share about your Jacob and Annalise! And maybe just maybe Jesus will bring a balloon back for Jacob!

Some times, a client or potential client will ask if I'm divorced. When I answer "no" they ask how I can understand what they are going through.
My answer is that I can't, but also that I don't need to. Still, it helps to have resources to send them to, such as a therapist. But one resource in the future will be this excellent article in the Huffington Post by a woman who has been there.

A service charge is being added to ticket prices for the Aug. 22 National Football League exhibition game at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, but fans can avoid the charge by waiting until game day to buy tickets. Service charges added by Ticketmaster, the only outlet for individual game tickets, range from $2.50 per ticket on cash payments to $5.05 for a single telephone credit card order. Ticket prices are $15, $20 and $25, including tax, for the game between the Houston Oilers and Los Angeles Rams. Pepper Rodgers, whose Mid-America Football Inc. is promoting the game as part of Memphis's NFL expansion drive, said he expects most fans to buy their tickets in advance, despite the service charge.
Chicago — Chicago police Saturday named a tall young seaman with 'Born to raise hell' tattooed on his arm as the mass slayer of eight student nurses. Police Supt. O.W. Wilson identified the man as Richard B. Speck, 25, who was described as a 'loner' who has drifted from place to place across the nation. He has a long record of arrests in Texas, where he served two prison terms. Speck, believed to be armed with a revolver and possibly a knife, was still at large and the FBI joined in a nationwide manhunt for him. Wilson said identification was made through 32 of Speck's fingerprints found in the South Side townhouse-dormitory in which the killer strangled and stabbed nurses one by one Thursday.

Syed Shafaat
Syed Shafaat belongs to a hamlet named Keitch Khansahib, which is currently in the district of Budgam. He hails from Rajpora Pulwama where he was born on the 2nd of April, 1994. Besides being a student, he is also a junior researcher of comparative religions, on which he has written a book named Light of Sanatan Dharma. He also has a few more works yet to be published. Some of which are Fate of Kashmir, Theory of Super Creation, Book of phrases, and The emotional stories. He aspires to write scientific books for Indian students as well.
His philosophy in this book is quite divergent, exclusive and inimitable. The messages written in this book are all based on his own observations and surveillance. He was always disheartened, looking at the unscrupulous and abysmal conditions of the world and this eventually lead him to write this heartfelt book.


"Too early too late" tries to reconnect a small territory, devastated by nefarious urban works, to its natural sea / hill connection, sewing up the affected area and the historical settlement to the sea through cycling and walking paths open to everyone.
First of all, the parcelling area should have been provided of new residential blocks joined a multiple touristic accommodations. From here the idea to create an open green area where we can immerse private houses and touristic places. An area without gates and enclosures where all the common citizens can get in and live the public spaces till to sea. So only the nature defines borders among private propriety and public spaces. We designed a spa with waterfalls, a hotel and a little restaurant equipped with a public park on the roof open to all.

A House panel is backing the Department of Homeland Security's bid to rebrand the National Protection and Programs Directorate as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency Act of 2016 elevates the cyber protection operation within DHS to an agency with four separate divisions.
"The job of mapping out a new agency is a complicated one," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said during the committee vote on the bill. But Thompson, the panel's ranking Democrat, said this "could help DHS chart a new course as we carry out its cyber infrastructure protection and emergency communications mission."
Under the bill, the new agency would have a cybersecurity division, infrastructure protection division, emergency communication division and the federal protective service. It would be led by an official with the title director of national cybersecurity at DHS, and would coordinate with other agencies on all matters related to cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection policy and operations.
McCaul said his bill "realigns and streamlines" the current cybersecurity and infrastructure protection mission at NPPD to "more effectively protect the American public…against cyber attacks that could cripple the nation."
The Cybersecurity Division would be in charge of coordinating with both federal agencies and the private sector to "reduce cybersecurity risks."
Committee passage of the bill came just a few days after NPPD chief Suzanne Spaulding told a DHS advisory committee meeting that "Congress doesn't seem to be buying" the reorganization plan.
"It is clear [NPPD] has outgrown its current organizational structure as just a headquarters component," Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI) said. With the creation of this agency, Langevin said, the private sector would be able to get assistance from the new restructured office on major breaches.
Additionally, the Office of Biometric Identity Management, which provides technology for collecting and storing biometric data to federal, state and local law enforcement, would become its own entity within DHS. Currently, it is part of NPPD.

The Corporate Sales Division of a leading provider of technology magazines was facing losses on page rates and other negotiation terms due to pressure from large clients who pushed for unprecedented discounts. Part of the challenge was that account managers were not sure how to deal with threats of "Give us a discount or else" and were uncomfortable pushing back or walking away from a deal. Additionally, other internal divisions didn't believe in the negotiation abilities of Corporate Sales, the newest function that represents all of the books to the seven top advertisers.
With bottom line losses, a weak internal reputation regarding negotiation, and the need to build bigger value propositions with division clients, the leaders decided to bring in Accordence to share a strategic framework and tools for negotiating deals and to provide coaching and practice for enhancing negotiation skills.
Accordence conducted diagnostic interviews with a cross-section of the Corporate Sales division, and used the diagnostics to create a 2-day workshop reflective of the broad array of challenges facing the sales force as well as to develop a customized case study to use during the program. The objective was to make the workshop relevant to the challenges Corporate Sales faced and strategic for effective integration and implementation of the methodology into their everyday negotiations.
In less than one year, the Corporate Sales division made dramatic changes in their skills and confidence.
With one of their current and thorniest client negotiations, they were able to sign the contract in record time in the relationship's history while avoiding fall out which had been rampant in years past and even repairing the damaged relationship.
Later that year, with another large client, they were able to sign the earliest contract in company history and with an unheard of increase in rates.
The integration has been so successful that the entire division uses the tools and methodology for all accounts.
Other divisions went from thinking that Corporate Sales folks were lacking in negotiation skills to the most trusted negotiators.
The methodology has been institutionalized in competency plans with the policy that no sales bonuses are given unless every account has an Accordence Diamond Planner sheet filled out.
A new addition to the Corporate Sales team and a veteran with 20 years experience in the sales field was impressed with the tools and has not experienced other organizations using such a strategy.
They were confident that they could meet growth goals of a 2-10% increase for the following year.
