Miami Hurricanes wary of host Tar Heels despite their record
The 2013 Miami Hurricanes, unlike some of their predecessors, do not seem to particularly crave attention.
But Thursday night, just past sunset in the cool, rolling hills of an area known as The Research Triangle, that's exactly what they'll get.
Lots of it.
The No. 10 Hurricanes (5-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) will put their perfect record on the line against — at least until now — an underperforming North Carolina team (1-4, 0-2) in front of a national television audience and slew of NFL scouts at Kenan Memorial Stadium.
It's the only college game that night, and Kenan has been a place of nightmares before for the Canes, who watched the goalposts get torn down by jubilant Tar Heel fans after UNC shocked the 6-0 and then-No. 4 Canes on a last-second field goal in 2004.
Miami is still the highest-ranked team Carolina has ever beaten and the Heels' only win over a program ranked in the AP top five.
"That is again what we're trying to establish," UNC coach Larry Fedora said, calling the matchup a "tremendous opportunity for us to showcase not only the Tar Heels but our stadium, our game-day atmosphere, Chapel Hill, the community, everyone involved. I mean, Thursday nights have become huge in college football because everyone is watching."
UNC spokesman Kevin Best said nearly 40 credentials were requested by NFL scouts, the most he has distributed for a game.
Miami, 1-4 at UNC all time, is 15-3 (.833) on Thursday night ESPN broadcasts, with the highest winning percentage of any current ACC school. North Carolina is 6-5 on Thursdays, including its 27-10 opening-night loss this season at South Carolina.
Big challenge
UM coach Al Golden was asked how dangerous a team the Tar Heels might be, despite their record, trying to regain respect at home in a high-profile setting with their starting quarterback returning from an ankle injury.
"You're exactly right," Golden said. "For all those reasons we are going to be facing a great challenge… As I said to the guys all along, records don't matter because records are talking about the past, and we know what type of team we're going to see Thursday."
A victory against the Tar Heels would qualify the Hurricanes for a bowl and put them at 6-0 for the first time since going into the game at UNC in '04.
The Tar Heels' great defense of the recent past is no more, their best players having moved on to the NFL. Their losses this season include ones to formidable opponents South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, but they also gave up 603 yards at home to East Carolina in a 55-31 drubbing on Sept. 28.
The Heels are ranked 94th nationally in total defense, 103rd in team passing efficiency defense and 95th in scoring defense.
Miami, conversely, is ranked 21st in total offense, sixth in team passing efficiency and ninth in scoring.
It's not a pretty combination for UNC, which, like Miami, is coming off a bye week.
Offensively, the Tar Heels should have back senior Bryn Renner under center, giving UM's top-ranked pass defense by far its best competition to date. Renner has thrown for more than 3,000 yards in each of the last two seasons and according to UNC game notes, "is on the verge of setting nearly every career passing mark'' there.
This season, he has completed 91 of 152 attempts for 1,117 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions — his top target being tight end Eric Ebron, third nationally among tight ends with 66.6 receiving yards per game.
The Tar Heels run a fast, no-huddle offense.
"We're not up tempo like these guys,'' Golden said. "These guys are warp speed.''
A big stage
Last season, UM quarterback Stephen Morris hurt his left ankle and was knocked out of the UNC game with 8:26 left. Ryan Williams entered the game and drove the Canes from the UNC 48-yard line to the 24 before UNC took over and sealed the 18-14 victory.
Morris sustained an injury to his right ankle Sept. 21 against Savannah State and played in pain as recently as Oct. 5 against Georgia Tech. He said "it's feeling a lot better'' now, but also said the ankle is still "iffy'' and day-to-day.
Morris believes the "big atmosphere'' shouldn't affect the team.
"Maybe a couple years ago it might have,'' Morris said. "The stage might have been big for a couple people, myself included. Now we have a lot more guys who understand the situation.
"We're a smarter team.''

With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare, the third time is neither the charm nor the strike to send the franchise back to the dugout in shame. It's certainly an improvement over the aforementioned two Turtles' games, which is good because the laws of nature probably wouldn't tolerate a game that was worse.
As amphibian warriors Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo, one-to-four players venture forth to beat up everything in sight. Dead enemies spit crystals. Crystals can be redeemed for new skills and combination attacks. Special scrolls, when equipped, will (among other things) augment a turtles' health, the damage he inflicts on opponents, or allow him to carry extra throwing stars. It's all very straightforward and been there and done that. Sharing the game with friends makes the bad medicine go down more smoothly, but understand there's a lot better multiplayer fare to be had.
For the most part, the fighting in Nightmare is absolutely fine. Enemies are plentiful, the move sets varied enough to allow for some player creativity in terms of brawling, and the turtles can act in conjunction with one another to make special group attacks. The combined strikes are particularly well done; a tap on the Xbox controller's directional pad calls the turtles together and a couple of quick button presses issues the attack order. Players must then follow a prompt to push a directional button to make a successful attack, and the more correct responses (and the more turtles involved), the greater the damage done. Nightmare also drops lots of objects into its game world that can be manipulated to great effect. In combat, it's possible to smash open fire hydrants to douse foes, bowl them over with explosive barrels, and send them flying into mines.
Having the turtles as evolving characters works well, too. After collecting a series of scrolls, it's possible to initiate ultimate turtle mode to change a hero's look and greatly increase his ass-kicking potential. Unfortunately, though, there's a lot of junk that needs to be waded through to get there -- so much so that the destination is barely worth the trip.

I think the official terminology is "calling shenanigans"
A classic Canadian being super polite response.
This bill does not bode well for Canada. It will be another one we have to try and defend against one day like we are still doing with bill C-11.
I'm amazed you were not even more sarcastic and spiteful in your reply.
With the added fun of implying we are sinners for using noscript or adblockers on that website as well.
I was very disappointed with Ars.

Hi, I am really blessed and impressed with mr. jedimindless. Wish you were in Northern California...our ministries could use someone like you.
Nevertheless. I was curious about the chording on Beautiful Savior.
It looks like you walk down from A to a Fsharpminor? or ?
That chord i am unfamilar with.
Maybe you have the chords here somewhere but if not and it isn't a bother could you shoot me a email with em. Thanks much.
So if you are ever in the country you ought to come do a worship set in our town. It would be fun. I could put together a string of places to play at.

- Graham Choo said...
The intro chords and verse chords are progressing down from an A chord to a F#m chord. They are open chords, so the first 2 strings are left open (no pressing of any frets or notes)
There's an intermediary chord between A and F#m, which is a A/G# chord. Just move your index finger from the A bass on the 5th fret 6th string, to the G# bass on the 4th fret 6th string. The other notes remain the same.
Hope I managed to clarify what you asked :)

I am really impressed with the song now that you near. could you by any chance do an instructional video. firstname.lastname@example.com
God Bless you

Hi, how do you do the strumming for the song "Enough". Hoe you can spend some time to teach me how. Thanks a lot and God bless you!

- Graham Choo said...
Hey, you can actually refer to the song's instructional video, that my brother did. It can be found at http://grahamchoo.blogspot.com/2007/05/enough.html
Just click on the second video. He explains the chords and strumming patterns for the song. God bless :)

The original was first created as a Scratchboard. Nancy covers a white clay board with black India ink; then with a pointed razorblade she proceeds to meticulously scratch away the black revealing the white beneath as strikingly intricate contrasting lines. Her extensive knowledge of animal anatomy and her training in classical art technique combine beautifully to create this sensual scene.
The final Giclee was printed in Nancy's own studio with the rich texture of time tested archival inks that will last for generations. The image is then printed with long-lasting archival inks on either archival 100% cotton rag or archival water resistant canvas. Nancy, and her husband Bruce, take special care to make sure each print consistently captures the tonal quality and rich texture of the original.

In short, whatever you are planning for a child's future – our Investment Plan for Children is designed to help.
*You will also incur the dealing costs represented by the difference between the buying and selling price of an investment trust's shares (the 'bid-offer spread'). This 'spread' varies from trust to trust, depending on supply and demand in the stock market.

The new direction of Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) and the Windows 8/Metro platform suggests that external plug-ins will be given less of a role. Doing without plug-ins will be a shock for developers. It's a huge change but, I believe, a good thing.
Metro Rethinks the Browser
In Windows 8, there are two flavors of IE10 a desktop application and a Metro-style application. The desktop version of IE10 will be as it has always been: It will support plug-ins, tabs, and more. The Metro version, however, will not accept plug-ins. As you may know, the Metro UI in Windows 8 is an optional view of the operating system in which applications run in full-screen mode hiding the classic operating system chrome just as it runs in mobile operating systems. Metro applications mimic smartphone applications in their being user-centric, mobile-oriented, and endowed with specialized filesystems.
Among other things, doing without plug-ins should improve battery life and reduce security risks to zero.
The server-side application provides data feeds. The immensely popular jQuery library helps glue together other features that the browser makes available. So what about the BOM? At present, it incorporates Ajax and geolocation capabilities. Starting with HTML5, the BOM will include even more enticing capabilities, such as Web sockets, canvas, and local storage. Any new features the browser has to offer can be used by libraries such as jQuery to offer new programming facilities thus making developers' lives easier and pushing them to implement new ideas and tools. A richer BOM is much better than a browser with plug-ins.
HTML5 Pushes a Plug-in-free World
I have nothing against plug-ins and I did some Silverlight programming myself over the past few years. My company still keeps deriving business from Flash animations. However, we're looking (well, not just looking…) into Windows 8 and Metro for evolving our mobile front-ends, tools, and frameworks.
For the Web to move forward, developers need simplicity and more power at the same time. This can be achieved by removing add-ons and reinforcing the pillars. I dream of a Web world in which everything you need can be expressed via HTML and driven by JavaScript animations, rich graphics, communication, storage, location.
HTML5 and its set of companion standards (Web sockets, geolocation, local storage, offline apps) reinforces the browser and with it the pillars of the Web the HTML language and HTTP protocol. If we can render rich graphics and connect to any endpoint over ports, we don't need plug-ins any more. Such an HTML5-only approach is good for consumers, too, as it makes it simpler for producers to provide a comprehensive and ubiquitous (and why not touch-first?) browsing experience.
And Then, Silverlight…
Since the public announcement of Windows 8 and Metro in September 2011, removing plug-ins from the Metro version of IE10 has generated a lot of comments. In the Microsoft community, fear and uncertainty about the fate of Silverlight 5 reigned for months. "Should I go with HTML5 or stay around Silverlight?" that's been, and still it is, a hot question.
I don't believe Silverlight and Flash will disappear overnight they still work and are still useful in many applications and scenarios. As an architect or project lead, though, your primary responsibility is driving your company towards the best technology choices. In this regard, a Web client that is not dependent on plug-ins is preferable and represents an important step forward. The HTML5 solution makes you cross-platform and mobile-ready from day one.

Using SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual for the first time is like the first time you used an iPhone after having that state of the art flip phone. Stepping into the Single Modeling Environment (SME) is like seeing your favorite games, email, calendar, and music on the same screen for the first time. The SME allows you to switch from a multi body part to an assembly with the click of a single button without the interface really changing at all. As a long time CAD user with all of the preconceived notions of what a file or assembly structure should look like, I am not sure that I really grasp the intricacies of what this change in thought process can actually provide. I have tried to force myself to expand my thought process into how this would change my daily workflow, but feel as though I am just barley scratching the surface. It plays very well into the intuitive pillar; you don't have to think about file structure as part of the design process. When you have spent so much time concerning yourself with sub assembly structure this is a concept that may take some time to fully understand.

Sovereign Silver Pour-Top, 1 Gallon Jar
Sovereign Silver® 1 Gallon Jar
Bio-Active Silver Hydrosol– 10 ppm
To support your immune system for all of its needs*, choose Sovereign Silver® Bio-Active Silver HydrosolTM – the #1 selling silver supplement in America. It has a unique combination of 5 attributes no other manufacturer can match:
Actively Charged (Bio-Active)
As corroborated by a university study, Sovereign Silver® contains 96% actively charged silver particles (positively charged [Ag+] silver ions), which renders it at least 34 times more powerful than other brands.
Easily Absorbed
Sovereign Silver's® unprecedented average particle size of 0.0008 microns, or 0.8 nanometers (validated by Transmission Electron Microscopy), allows for easy utilization by – and excretion from – the cells and body.
Less Is More
Our ultra-small particle size also results in a greater silver surface area. That's why even with a low concentration of 10 ppm (parts per million), Sovereign Silver® is still much more effective than brands that contain up to 500 ppm!
Perfectly Safe*
Sovereign Silver® is formulated to be safe for the whole family when used as directed. Taken 7 times a day for 70 years, Sovereign Silver® still falls below the EPA daily Oral Silver Reference Dose (RfD).
99.999% Pure
Sovereign Silver has only 2 ingredients: silver and pharmaceutical-grade purified water. It does not contain added silver compounds (silver salts or proteins) that render other silver products ineffective and possibly dangerous. In addition, to maintain product purity and integrity, it is packaged in non-leaching glass bottles.
ΐ According to the EPA (CASRN 7440-22-4) daily Oral Silver Reference Dose (RfD) applied to 10 ppm, one may ingest 178,850 dosages safely over 70 years.

Wait 15 minutes before consuming any other liquid, nutritional supplement, or food. After meals, wait at least 4 hours before resuming dosages to allow the stomach contents to clear. Always use Sovereign Silver™ in its pure form, so do not dilute it with other liquids or water. The one exception is fresh aloe leaf gel mixed 1:1 which may be used to help more completely better nourish and support the liver and intestinal tract as a whole.1, 2, 3 If feeling immune challenged, drink plenty of fluids, healthy soups, and/or fresh fruit smoothies, and consult with your holistic health care provider.*
Maintenance dose: Recommended ingestion for adults - One teaspoon daily or every other day taken on an empty stomach. We recommend 1/2 dosages for younger children, or as directed by a licensed holistic health care provider.*
In the presence of others with compromised immune systems: Recommended ingestion - 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon 3 times a day ingested on an empty stomach (i.e., between meals), or as directed by a licensed holistic health care provider.*
When confronted with an immediate immune challenge that may have compromised your feeling of well being: Recommended ingestion - Take 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon once every 20 minutes for up to 24 hours on an empty stomach. Once your feeling of well being returns reduce ingestion to once every 1-2 hours on an empty stomach. If you continue to feel immune stressed, always consult with a holistic health care provider to consider your options. Sovereign Silver™ works well with other immune supports as directed by your physician so long as it is ingested on an empty stomach (see above Special Advisories).*
Long-term immune stress or compromise: Recommended ingestion - Take 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon 3 to 7 times a day on an empty stomach, or as directed by a holistic health care provider.*
How many sprays or droppers = 1 Teaspoon?*
50 vertical sprays = 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
30 fine mist sprays = 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
6 (2 oz/60 ml) droppers = 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
5 (4 oz/120 ml) droppers = 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
5 (8 oz/240 ml) droppers = 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
Note: Although the dropper only fills up half-way with 1 squeeze, this is considered to be 1 dropper.

Charles, I've been reading your Talera Cycle once again, and am impressed with your sword scenes, once again...
Eh, LW! I think a rune master is an excellent promo item.
Thank you, Fairy! It's a charming painting, is it not! The kitten after the tassle a delightful touch.
Indeed, I did, SzelsoFa! I'm glad you remembered!

Really?! That is fascinating! And a bit frightening. (The Black Dog.)
I'm not sure what I could use. It's true that Pseudie is open and honest about her sex life, LOL, which is why I can't link it with my real name. But with Glenn gone all the time, there are no escapades. :D
I don't know what I could use. I'm dreadfully boring. I used to see dead people, like when they passed, if I knew them, but one time it scared the living bejeezus out of me, because it was so strong, and I haven't felt much of it lately. Just a little flutter, nowadays. I started but didn't finish a novel based on that. :-)

"Mangle" is a fitting word choice, Whirl!
Lived dangerously, did you, Steve?
Would certainly create buzz!
And one hears the most interesting things, Bernard--especially when taken out of context. Your dialogue has always an authentic quality.

India reserves right to retaliate: Army Chief
Terming the beheading as "unacceptable" and "unpardonable", he said India's military has been asked to respond aggressively and offensively.
Talking tough, he said the killing of two Indian soldiers on the LoC in Mendhar area of Jammu and Kashmir on January 6 was a pre-planned and pre-meditated action by Pakistani troops and India reserves the right to retaliate at
Addressing a press conference here on the eve of Army Day, Gen Singh said India's response to Pakistani firing at its posts in LoC in J and K is measured and perfect.
"Beheading (of Lance Naik Hemraj) is unacceptable and unpardonable," the Army Chief said about the incident in which Pakistan soldiers crossed into the Indian territory to attack Indian army patrol party.
"It (the attack) was stage-managed and pre-planned (by Pakistan). They (Pakistan) have planted lies to justify what they have done," he said.
He said the attack was carried out by Pakistan army personnel but did not rule out the possibility of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists being associated with it.
Gen Singh said while the issue is being taken up with Pakistan at government and military levels, directions have been given to Army commanders to respond immediately if provoked.
"India reserves its right to retaliate at the time and place of its choice. We won't remain passive when attacked," he said, adding he expected "commanders to be aggressive and offensive."
He said the ceasefire, in place since November 2003, has been holding except for "some aberrations" for which he squarely blamed Pakistan.

Laying the Foundation: Revolution, Math for Databases and Big Data
Databases and American democracy both started with someone applying intellect to lay a foundation. Today I find the efforts of two whose intellectual endeavors laid a foundation are in need of advocacy, so here we go. One foundation-layer, David Childs, published important computer science research in the 20th century. The other, Thomas Jefferson, was an 18th century political thought leader, a Founding Father of a new republic, and the author of many important documents.My previous blog posting, "Sets, Data Models and Data Independence," provided an introduction to David Childs' research on extended set theory. Childs' work has gotten attention from those who are interested in performance-oriented solutions for processing large data sets, including the gigabyte-sized data sets used for TPC-H benchmarks.
Before discussing that, it's time to launch into a complaint about historical revisionism. It seems to be in play concerning Childs' research as a key contribution to the relational model. Another example of revisionism is excising Thomas Jefferson's writings, part of the foundation of American democracy, from history studies. This is a position recently advocated by the Texas Board of Education.
The Board of Education has been reviewing the Texas social studies and history curriculum with the goal of seeing changes to textbooks purchased for Texas schools. Because Texas buys a large quantity of textbooks, it has considerable influence on the textbook market and the changes sought by the Texas Board have national implications. A majority of the board members have apparently decided that Thomas Jefferson is not a model they want to use in teaching the history of America's Founding Fathers. They have decided to exclude Jefferson's writings from the history taught in Texas schools. How they intend to treat authorship of the Declaration of Independence should be interesting!
Unlike the Texas episode, I'm not suggesting that Childs has intentionally been excised from the literature about the relational model and its mathematical underpinnings. The historical revisionism in this case has likely been an error of omission, not commission.
Dr. Edgar Codd cited Childs' research in his seminal 1970 paper "A Relational Model for Large Shared Data Banks". But how often have we seen Childs linked with the concept of a formal mathematical foundation for managing data? How often have relational advocates pointed to Childs as contributing to the relational model and the notion of data independence?
Perhaps the oversight is because Childs' research did not get the exposure of Codd's paper. Codd's 1970 paper was published in the Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery (CACM). Childs' papers saw limited dissemination because they were publications of the Research in the Conversational Use of Computers (CONCOMP) project at the University of Michigan.
The CONCOMP project was funded during the 1965-1970 timeframe. The project started when timesharing, interactive, and conversational computing were on the bleeding edge. Besides Childs' research on data structures, CONCOMP included research on data concentrators, audio response, computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD). CONCOMP produced an extensible version of the Michigan Algorithm Decoder (MAD) language. MAD/I supported user-defined types, a revolutionary concept at the time.
In order to meet its research objectives, CONCOMP also had to do other pioneering work, such as developing a hardware interface to support remote terminals connected to an IBM mainframe. The research on data concentrators and communications protocols fed into development of the ARPAnet, forerunner of the Internet. Childs' work fed into development of the relational model and SQL databases.
In the 1960s, most software was bundled with computer hardware or developed by government funding. The IBM unbundling decision of 1969 created the opportunity for software to become a multi-billion dollar business. But in the 60s, government funding was a primary source of revenue for innovation by software houses and universities. Guidelines and software development standards from the government carried a lot of weight if you wanted to stay in business.
CONCOMP was sponsored by the Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, known as DARPA today). ARPA funded CONCOMP during a time when automated theorem proving and computational logic were topics of interest, as eventually was mathematical proof of correctness for programs.
The CONCOMP papers were unclassified but not freely available. Although Codd cited one of Childs' papers, I wonder how many people were able to read Childs' research at that time. The CONCOMP papers carried a restriction that they were available only to a 'qualified requester'.

KSL coverage: 'Coming to our Census'
Chris Lopez (not his real name) has an impressive résumé. He graduated from one of Utah's top high schools with a 3.6 grade point average. He is fluent in two languages. He was the leader of his Boy Scout troop and participated in a youth leadership and college preparation program at school.
As a freshman, Lopez secured a spot as a starting forward on his school's varsity soccer team. His small stature and impressive speed earned him the nickname "Chicharito," which means "little pea." He shares the moniker with Javier Hernandez, a top Mexican professional who plays for Manchester United.
Lopez has been accepted to Utah Valley University and intends to enroll there this fall. For many top high school graduates, the move would be a modest accomplishment, but Lopez is a pioneer. He is the first person in his family to graduate from high school — let alone be accepted to a university. He was even offered a small scholarship. His proud parents gave him a used car as a high school graduation present. He will need it to make the hourlong commute to and from campus.
Despite his determination and auspicious beginning, Lopez will have to beat the odds to graduate from college. Lopez is an undocumented immigrant. His scholarship only covers his first semester's tuition, which means for every semester thereafter, he will need to come up with $3,000. Without papers, he will have trouble finding a job to pay for the next three-and-a-half years.
President Barack Obama's pledge to give asylum to undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children doesn't give Lopez a lot of peace of mind. Deportation is still a reality for his parents. "Congress might stop him," he said of Obama's plan. "He might not get re-elected." Lopez knows that until everyone in his family has papers, all bets are off.
His father, a landscaper, depends on Lopez to help him communicate with clients. His mother, who works seven days a week cleaning houses, relies on him to tend his younger twin brothers and help out around their cramped two bedroom apartment. His hardworking parents have committed to help him as much as they can, but he can't quite shake the feeling that going to college is selfish. "I could help my family a lot if I just get a job," he said.
Lopez's situation is not unique.
Across the country, smart, capable Hispanic students face immense obstacles to fulfill their collegiate dreams. While some of the challenges are particular to undocumented students, many apply equally to legal residents and citizens.
Latinos have the lowest level of educational attainment of any racial or ethnic group in the United States, according to Alberta Gloria, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Since 2000, white adults have been two times as likely as U.S. born Hispanics to receive a bachelor's degree and four times as likely as foreign-born Hispanics, according to Marta Tienda, a professor at Princeton University.
"Increasingly, college attainment is mandatory for labor market success," Tienda said. "Individuals who don't receive some form of post-secondary education will be marginalized in the economy of the 21st century," she said.
But another consideration is the fact that Hispanics are projected to be the fastest growing segment of the labor force in the years ahead. Immigration will continue to add to the number of Hispanics in the United States, but in the coming years, it is their above-average birth rates that will really drive population growth, according to demographers. On average, Hispanic women can expect to have about one more child than the average non-Hspanic white woman, Tienda said. "U.S. competitiveness will be impacted by the progress Hispanics make at all levels of the educational system," she said.
So what keeps Latino students out of higher education?
"Financial considerations are a significant barrier," said Cecilia Rios Agular, a professor of education at Clarmont Graduate School. "But this is more than just a financial issue. It is much more complicated." Family and legal considerations also weigh heavily on these students.
When Nerina Garcia-Arcement, then 18, announced she had been accepted to Stanford University with a scholarship, she was met with disapproving stares. Her parents, who emigrated from Mexico as teenagers, weren't impressed. Attending the prestigious school would require her to move away from home.
Their reaction took Garcia-Arcement, now 36, completely by surprise. When Garcia-Arcement was 12, her parents moved the family from East Los Angeles 12 miles south, to Whittier, because they wanted their kids to have better educational opportunities.
"My parents always said to me, 'Use your brain so you don't have to use your body like a donkey,' " she said. She took their advice to start earning top grades, playing flute with the school band and participating in student government.
Her parents' lack of enthusiasm stung, but now she understands that by moving away for school, she was challenging family norms.
"Culturally you aren't supposed to leave your parents' house unless you are married," she said. "I think my parents worried about my reputation."
It isn't that Hispanic parents don't want their kids to go to college, according to Rios Agular. "They believe in education. They immigrated to this country because they wanted better lives for their kids," she said. University is unchartered territory for many Hispanic parents. "They hear things about what happens at college, and they get nervous," Garcia-Arcement said. "My parents wanted to protect me."
"This isn't a dead issue, either," she said. Just over the weekend, Garcia-Arcement learned that one of her cousins, a top student in Texas who has been admitted with full scholarships to several Ivy League universities, won't be going to college in the fall because her parents do not support her leaving home.
Garcia-Arcement went Stanford. She earned a bachelor's degree and went on to get a doctorate from Fordham University in New York City. Today, she works as a clinical psychologist in Brooklyn, New York.
While she is a huge advocate of college, she admits her education places a wedge between her and some of her family. "When someone like me thinks about college, we have to wrestle with our identity. If higher education is not something most of your family does, you will be different," she said.
For the educated children of tightly knit Latino families, that difference is a bitter pill to swallow. "For us, education is not just about what we gain, but also what we lose," Garcia-Arcement said.
"Before I went to college, I was like them, an insider. But during college, they started treating me differently." The good-natured jokes her cousins made about her vocabulary or studious habits took on a different tone. She couldn't tell if they were laughing with her or at her. "With so many members of my family, I can only be half of myself," she said.
Often, this means biting her tongue. For example, when her father, while wandering though the dinosaur exhibit at the Natural History Museum in New York City, muttered that none of this is real, she just smiled and didn't offer her perspective. "I don't want to come across as uppity or conceited," she said. I just have to realize that I can't expect to share everything with them."
Minorities have been hit hard by the economic downturn, according to William Frey, a demographer with the Brooking Institute in Washington. Almost 27 percent of Hispanics are considered below the poverty line, based on data from the National Poverty Center. In order for many of these families to make ends meet, everyone has to contribute.
Garcia-Arcement tells how her mother, the second oldest of 12 children, did domestic work every day since she was 15 to help keep her family afloat. "There is an expectation in many Latino families that the older kids will help support the family," Garcia Arcement said.
The expectation is a challenge for students who want to go to college.
Money that would otherwise go to the family is diverted to tuition and other school-related expenses. "It's hard for kids to feel like they are taking away from their families," said Ali Webb, an English as a second language teacher who worked with the recent high school graduate Lopez.
Hispanic students' desire to help support their families is the No. 1 reason they do not enroll in post-secondary programs, according to a 2011 study by the Pew Hispanic Center.
There is also a strong cultural aversion to loans, Garcia-Arcement explains.
"Lots of families operate on a cash-only basis," she said. "When you have low resources, you don't buy unless you can pay up front," she said.
She recalls her extended family asking her why she was going into debt for school and what she thought she was going to get from it. "Many Americans see education as an investment, but if you don't come from a background of college-educated people, it is hard to understand how that investment will pay out," she said.
Juan Esclanate, 23, wasn't always an undocumented resident of the United States. His family moved to Miami from Caracas, Venezuela, in 2000.
"My dad had an 'L' visa. He worked and paid taxes and planned to apply for permanent residency for the family," Esclante said.
But in 2006, his father's company inadvertently failed to file the family's immigration renewals. By the time they realized what happened, it was too late.
The fallout was devastating.
A top student at his high school, Escalante had been accepted to the University of Florida and was awarded a large scholarship. In order to enroll, however, he had to prove he was a legal resident. When he was unable to produce the documents, his scholarship was revoked.
While some scholarships are available to undocumented students, many others are not. They are not allowed to apply for federal aid. In many states, universities consider them foreign students and charge them anywhere from three to seven times more in tuition and school fees, according to Leisy Janet Abrego of UCLA.
Some undocumented students worry how accepting awards would draw attention to their status. "They are so used to living under the radar," Rios Agular said. "And it is risky to be open about this."
Determined to get a college degree, Escalante looked into other options. At the time, Florida allowed undocumented residents to pay in-state tuition at community colleges. Escalante enrolled at a local school and began taking classes with the hope of eventually finding a way to transfer to a four-year school.
Working as an advocate for Florida's undocumented students, Escalante had met an individual who offered to pay for him to finish his degree at Florida State University. He graduated a few months ago with a degree in international relations.
Escalante is one of the lucky ones, though.
He feels pressure to succeed, to show his younger brothers that the struggle of going to college is worth it. "Undocumented youth confront legal barriers that lower their aspirations and impede educational attainment of even the most eager students," Abrego said.
Immigrant children make up a large percentage of the population in the United States, according to Abrego, "which means they have transformative potential on the country." But in order for that potential to be realized, "educational attainment is crucial."
"As our demographics change, more people of color are going to confront these barriers," Garcia-Arcement said. "I know how hard it is. I've lived through it."

With this recipe, you don't even have to roll your biscuits out. Keep in mind that drop biscuits will be a little denser and won't have the layers that rolled ones do. They're simple and delicious, though.
My husband loves biscuits. In the pre-gluten free days, one of his favorite Saturday morning breakfasts was a sausage and cheese biscuit. For years we used Gluten Free Sandwich Bread for our breakfast sandwiches, but a recent trip to Whole Foods inspired me to try my hand at biscuits. I have to say, these taste just like the biscuits my Mom makes.
If you're new to baking, drop biscuits are a great place to start. You just mix them up, drop them on a pan, and bake them. (You also get to put your hands into the dough, which is a lot of fun.) I usually bake these on a weekend morning, and then heat up the leftovers in the microwave during the week. We also had them for dinner this week, and I'll write a post on that soon.
Yield: 1 dozen
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl thoroughly combine the flour mix, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and xanthum gum. Cut the butter, margarine, or shortening into the flour (see below for further instructions). Add the buttermilk and beaten egg to the flour and stir until the dry and liquid ingredients are combined. Using a spoon, drop the dough onto a greased pan to make 12 biscuits. Cook at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
(Vegan/Casein Free Subsitution: Replace the buttermilk with 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar plus enough soymilk to equal one cup. Use vegetable shortening rather than butter.)
To cut the fat into the flour first measure out 6 Tbsp of butter and break it into small pieces (with a knife or your fingers) . Drop the pieces into the flour mix and, using your hands, toss the pieces of butter in the flour so that they are all coated.
Using a pinching motion (like you're playing with a sock puppet), pick up some of the flour and butter in your hand and pinch the pieces of butter into smaller pieces. Make sure each of these pieces gets coated with flour when it falls back into the bowl. Your goal is to have lots of little flour-coated pieced of butter in your dough. These pieces of butter will melt when the bisuits are baked and make it fluffy and light. Be careful not to rub the butter into the flour as you pinch it – you're just breaking the butter into smaller pieces and THEN coating them with flour. This is what it should look like when you're done.

University of Florida Student Discipline
University of Florida students who are arrested or accused of violating any local, state, or federal law may also face disciplinary proceedings at the University of Florida. This could result in potential penalties including reprimand, probation, suspension or expulsion. Additionally, even without a formal arrest or accusation, students may be referred to the Dean of Students Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution for any alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
Not all attorneys who handle the defense of criminal law violations also provide representation to accused students through the administrative disciplinary process. Additionally, familiarity and experience with the rules and procedures at the University is essential for providing effective advice and counsel. The attorneys at DeThomasis & Buchanan have experience representing students at UF for more than 24 years through several administrations and rule changes.
The role of the attorney at disciplinary hearings at UF is that of an advisor. While an advisor cannot verbally present the case, an experienced attorney/advisor can best prepare the student to present a proper defense. Among other things, the attorney/advisor can familiarize the student with the procedure and rules, assist in the preparation of witness examinations, and aid in understanding the most effective approach for presenting the student's case.
Contact a University of Florida Student Conduct Violations Lawyer at DeThomasis & Buchanan for an experienced, knowledgeable, and effective defense.

When is it the best time to start to try and invest and look for a fur suit??
Quote from: -Tazz-furry teen on September 20, 2010, 09:05:58 pmWhen is it the best time to start to try and invest and look for a fur suit?? Before anything, I would get a quote from whoever you want to build your fursuit (unless you're building your own). Tell 'em what you want and they'll give you the price for your idea. If you have the money and they're open for commissions, then you should probably order as soon as you can. (To reduce the wait). If you're building your own fursuit, go online and read a few tutorials before you jump in! Hope that helped!
(sorry for double posting, I don't see a modify button on my last post so here I go)Last night was supposed to be mask night where I made Jerry's head. The part where it went wrong was the jaw and muzzle. I am going to probably start over and that means I need more $$$ The mask didn't look like Jerry so I was sad. Oh well, at least I am about to finish up the arm gloves and have all the fur I need.
It's too late. I removed the ears, muzzle and jaw. The muzzle was not as solid as I wanted it to be. It is static for this suit. Any good sites for mask making would be very helpful. I am using Matrices' site for the head but any others for reference would be great.

Find out what other pet owners in your area think about their vet – but consider whether they have the same type of animal as you because different pets have different requirements. If you're interested in what other services your local practice provides, give them a ring or see if they've got a website. Most often, these situations occur because of inadequate, direct, communication between you and your veterinarian in Pickettville, Florida 32254 and their staff or unrealistic expectations. It goes without saying that one of the signs of a good clinic is that they are busy — so, sure, you might not be able to get a standard appointment on the day you call.
Is a Pickettville veterinarian necessary?
This might just be an urban phenomenon, and I understand that waiting rooms are not profit centers, but I want to be able to wait in an environment where dogs are not sitting on top of each other or my cat. If your cat suffers from a disease or recurrent health problem, a vet that specializes in this issue might be the best route. Learn about the recommended 24-hour emergency services in your area, and keep this contact information handy in case of an emergency. ow are emergency calls handled both during and after office hours?
If you can't afford a veterinary clinic, there are sometimes more economical options through a local pet shelter or animal rescue group. If a medical emergency occurs for your pet in the middle of the night, you will not want to waste valuable time hunting for an open clinic. Your vet will frequently be your first line of contact for many of the trials and tribulations that can arise when you own a cat, so choose someone you feel you can communicate openly and honestly with. When bringing your pet in for any treatment, you want to know that he/she is in good hands.
Can a Pickettville, Florida veterinarian be affordable?
Because of our extended pick up and drop off times, we accommodate even the most challenging schedules of owners – which is just another reason why we see our guests again and again. Not all vet clinics offer the same services, so it's important to find one that will suit you and your pet. However, consider your choice on more than price alone – a clinic might be more expensive because it provides access to better equipment, more staff and a wider range of services. Staff members who feel empowered to do good medicine and nursing care tend to stay with a practice longer.
Member hospitals voluntarily pursue and meet AAHA's standards in areas of quality medical care, facility and equipment. If you do use price as a determining factor in your search for a vet, be aware that simply asking for prices for certain services does not necessarily tell the whole story. Ask for a quick tour to get exposure to the type of environment the vet and the staff create and observe how they interact with you, the animals, and other people. Whether you are moving into a new area, or you are dissatisfied with your current/former Vet, it is important that you find a good veterinarian in Pickettville, Florida before your cat become ill or involved in an accident.

How to choose the right Pickettville veterinarian near you?
It is also important to know about the clinic's emergency policy and how they handle referrals to specialists and second opinions. The size of the practice can therefore be crucial, not least because it may mean that only basic services are available and that tests are conducted out-of-house. You can expect vet practices to be able to treat cats and dogs but smaller ones may not have the capacity to treat a range of different pets, especially exotics that might require specialist equipment. Your veterinarian in Duval County, Florida may refer you to a specialist, Veterinarians For Exotic Animals who have completed advanced education and practicum in specialties such as internal medicine/ ultrasounds, orthopedics, optometry, and cytology.
Busy veterinarians can struggle with allotting the proper time for each pet, and it's not always easy to spend as much time as they would truly like to with your pet. Routine treatments and annual visits need not be handled urgently, but when every second counts, you want a veterinarian who is on call and ready to handle any emergency. If the vet you choose has AAHA accreditation, there is a good chance they have 24 hour emergency services. Not only is it convenient, if there's an emergency it's good to know that you can get your pet to the vet as soon as possible because quick treatment could save their life. Also get references from breeders, shelter and dog rescues or other dog owners.

Women, gender and guns
Women are disproportionately affected by gun violence. Although men comprise around 90% of deaths by guns, they are almost 100% of the buyers, sellers and users. Women are also victimised by sexual violence at gunpoint, through threats and other trauma, and through their role as caregivers and survivors. In this way, armed violence is a heavily gendered phenomenon.
The IANSA Women's Network is the only international network focused on the connections between gender, women's rights, small arms and armed violence. The IANSA Women's Network is composed of individuals and groups working to:
- Stop gun violence against women in the home, on the streets or on the battlefield;
- Involve women fully in peacemaking, peacebuilding and disarmament;
- Ensure that women's interests are served by policies on guns;
- Reduce military spending;
- Break the link between violence and masculinity
- Prevent gun violence around the world.

She would have won 1st, but she had to sprint to her ring for sparring and couldn't finish her forms competition; remember it's double elimination in poomse now so each competitor could go multiple times. But good job on the Silver anyway. If you squint really hard, it might look golden...), Quarterfinals in Sparring, Won 1st 9-3, Lost 2nd 3-1.

text: AR-15 TRiGGERS Don't trip here. F irst, there is little that can be done to improve a stock trigger. Any real help comes from the aftermarket. The last stock trigger I measured was a little more than 11 pounds. If trigger break-weight is greater than rifle weight, well, it's a little hard to shoot with. Competitive position target shooters, like NRA High Power competitors, almost always prefer a 2-stage trigger. That one has free movement to the rear (the first stage), comes to a stop (at the second stage) and then breaks cleanly from that point as pressure is applied. A singlestage has no free movement toward the rear before the break, or isn't supposed to. Competitive shooters prefer a 2-stage because it's more controllable and predictable. We use the first stage as the start to a shot, and also as a safety valve, of sorts, if we have to back out. Second, it's a way to get a light break-weight (the second stage) while maintaining a higher overall weight (the first and second stage added together). thePACtAmericanGoldisoneofthe newesttakesona2-stagematchtrigger. AftermarketAR-15triggersarestillevolving, andlet'shopethatcontinues.

Getting the finger onto, and then into the trigger, simply makes for a more competent standing position shooter. First stage, plus second stage, equals total trigger-pull weight. That matters much to NRA and CMP Service Rifle shooters who can't use a trigger less than 4-1/2 pounds. The triggers on my Service Rifles are 2-stage, and the second stage is about 8 ounces at, as said, an overall weight of 4-1/2 pounds. The light second stage, therefore, means that trigger is not a handicap compared to an NRA Match Rifle, which has no minimum pull weight requirement. It does, however, require a little getting used to…. The original 2-stage was the MKII as done up by Charlie Milazzo. Its workmanship and quality, not to mention, of course, its 2-stage engineering, was a major milestone in fleshing out the AR-15 as a competition arm. Charlie owns the patent and that's been a legal embroilment for over a decade now. Right. Most 2-stage triggers are Milazzo clones. Others, however, took steps beyond Charlie's original take, or at least took them in different directions. What's the best 2-stage? Right now, it's the Geissele (say "gih-sell-ee"). It's one of the newer of the bunch and they've looked at their competition longer. In terms of adjustability and design, it be "da bomb dot-com." Jewell makes a good 2-stage. It has a unique and easy adjustment system and spring arrangement (most others use essentially standard form springs) and installs easily. Lock-time is the main difference between these two, in performance. takealookatthehammer;it'sradically lighterthanstandard.Here'saGeissele. Whatmakesitbetteriswhatmakesitbest.

This is defined, so I say, as the time between hammer release by the trigger and firing pin strike on the primer. The quicker the better. Everyone's rifle is moving when it's fired. Even the best prone position will exhibit some discernible movement, and no one's standing position hold keeps the sights still for long. The sooner 24 WWW.GUNSMAGAZINE.COM • NOVEMBER 2010
