When you buy a vehicle, Arizona law requires that you apply for a title within 15 days of purchase and take the application to an MVD Office or Authorized Third Party provider to complete the process. A title transfer penalty may be assessed if a title application is submitted beyond this time. If your vehicle was registered in another state and you wish to operate it in Arizona, you must register it as soon as you become an Arizona resident.
If you attempt to register a vehicle without a title you may be required to purchase a bond from an insurance company, which can be time consuming and require an added expense.
To transfer a title and registration, you must have these items:
If there is a lien on the vehicle that has not been paid off, written permission from the lienholder/lender will be required to add or delete a name.
To title and register your out-of-state vehicle, you must have these items:
The cost to title and register your vehicle varies depending on the vehicle. There is a $4 title fee, an $8 registration fee ($9 for motorcycles), an air-quality research fee of $1.50 and a vehicle license tax (VLT) assessed in place of a personal property tax charged by other states. There may also be a weight fee and commercial registration fee if the vehicle is registered as commercial.
The VLT is based on an assessed value of 60 percent of the manufacturer's base retail price reduced by 16.25 percent for each year since the vehicle was first registered (15 percent before Aug. 1, 1998). Then, as of the Dec. 1, 2000, reduction, the rate is calculated for each $100 of the assessed value as $2.80 for new vehicles and $2.89 for used vehicles. For example, for a new vehicle that costs $25,000, the first-year assessed value would be $15,000 and the VLT would be $420. The second year the assessed value would be $12,562.50 and the VLT would be $363.06. For a mobile home, the title fee is $7 per section or unit. No other mobile home fees are payable to MVD.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - With its 31-6 victory over Austin Peay on Saturday, Tennessee State has captured the 2013 Sgt. York Championship. The Tigers finished 3-0 in Sgt. York games this season to claim its fifth title in the seven-year history of the competition.
The Sgt. York Trophy goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four OVC football-playing schools located in the state of Tennessee - Austin Peay State University, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.
The award will be presented at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions hosted by the Nashville Sports Council in the February.
It marks the second time TSU has won the trophy outright (2008 being the other), as the team shared the title (but took home the trophy) in each 2007, 2011 and 2012. The Tigers are 12-9 all-time in Sgt. York Trophy games.
The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief's Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award, created in 2007 by the Nashville Sports Council, is presented to the winning institution annually at the NSC's Celebration of Champions. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur and professional sports in Tennessee.
The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Following the war York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927 he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today.
York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 - The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation - was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York's grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York's papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that competes for the yearly honor.

The Minnesota Supreme Court Tuesday morning ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state's never ending Senate race and recount that was decided by only a few hundred votes. Finally, the paint has dried ...
The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat dwindled to almost nothing. Shortly after the decision was announced, Coleman accepted the loss, conceding and congratulating Franken on his victory. Coleman told reporters outside his St. Paul home, "The Supreme Court has made its decision and I will abide by the results; in these tough times we all need to focus on the future, and the future is that we have a new United States Senator."
Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said the earliest Franken would be seated is next week because the Senate is out of session for the July 4th holiday.
The unanimous court wrote that "because the legislature established absentee voting as an optional method of voting, voters choosing to use that method are required to comply with the statutory provisions." They went on to say that "because strict compliance with the statutory requirements for absentee voting is, and always has been required, there is no basis on which voters could have reasonably believed that anything less than strict compliance would suffice."
The 58 year old Franken was born in New York City but was raised in St. Louis Park, Minn., a suburb near Minneapolis. He graduated cum laude in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Harvard University. Best known as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live from 1975-1980 and 1985-1995 and as the radio talk show host for The Al Franken Show on Air America Radio from 2004-2007, Franken has also authored several books, including Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations (1996) and Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (2003).

Et mixed method studie, der belyser læringskonsekvenser af et lederkursus for et praksisfællesskab af offentlige mellemledereMoesby-Jensen, Cecilie K. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The English title of this dissertation, which in the outset was an integrated part of a larger intervention study on the effects of team manager training, is: Social learning and shared practice. A mixed method study showing the learning consequences of a training course for a community of practice of public middle managers. Due to the growth of the elderly population in Denmark and, simultaneously, the fact that a large part of Danish health care workers soon face retirement, in addition to the challenge regarding the recruitment and the holding on to employees in the public health care sector in Denmark in the coming years, this sector is confronted with the task of creating and sustaining sought-after workplaces and one way of doing this is by organizing the work in a efficient and attractive way for the employees, for instance in compliance with the idea of teamwork. This entails change, education and learning, and this dissertation investigates, in a case-study, the social learning consequences of a training course for middle managers in the Danish health care system, and thus poses the research question: What are the intended and unintended learning consequences of the training course "Managing teams"?....

Acer W700 full review
We tested a preproduction version of Acer's W700 Windows 8 tablet, which Acer officially announced this week, promising a ship date of October 26 in the US and Canada. UK availability has not yet been announced, but it shouldn't be much after the US launch, and some UK retailers are already taking orders.
I've been using the Acer W700 Windows 8 tablet for over a week now, and the experience has been a revelation. Indeed, if you've been judging Windows 8 based on how well the RTM version works on a traditional desktop PC, you haven't been privy to the full OS experience.
Until I began using the W700, my Window 8 experience consisted of playing with the OS on a non-touch laptop, and spending a scant few minutes with it on random tablets and hybrids at press events. But now that I've devoted some serious quality time to the W700, I can report that the operating system breaks compelling new ground.
In fact, Windows 8 might even disrupt the mobile space if consumers deign to give Microsoft a fighting chance.
Interested? Intrigued? Maybe even a little frustrated or angry because Microsoft might actually be doing something right? First let me tell you about Acer's new hardware, then I'll get into the nitty-gritty of how Windows 8 performs as a tablet OS. For more on the changes in Windows 8 and how to use them visit Windows 8 Advisor.
Acer W700: This is not the hybrid you're looking for
Despite all the hubbub over Windows 8 hybrids, my first extended Windows 8 experience comes from using a pure tablet device--albeit one with bundled accessories designed for laptop-like productivity.
The W700 boasts an 11.6-inch, 1920-by-1080-pixel display whose viewing quality ranks somewhere between that of the iPad 2 and that of the new iPad, due in part to the Acer tablet's pixel density of 190 pixels per inch (versus 132 ppi for the iPad 2 and 264 ppi for the new iPad). And with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the W700's rich, vivid IPS display offers a generous expanse of screen real estate that's perfect for 1080p video playback, and makes you think, "Hmm, it sure would be nice if my iPad's screen extended this far horizontally."
Our test model's specs put it at the high end of the W700's configuration range, with such Ultrabook-caliber components as a 1.7GHz Core i5 processor capable of turbo bursts of up to 2.6GHz; 4GB of memory; and a 128GB solid-state drive. This hardware profile runs a pricey $999 in the US, with a UK premium to come no doubt, but that bitter brew might be easier to swallow if you consider the W700's mission to deliver a tablet and a work PC in a single package.
Though the W700 doesn't directly attach to a keyboard the way a newfangled hybrid would, it comes with a sturdy cradle that positions the tablet at a 70-degree angle, much like the screen of an open clamshell laptop. The bundle also includes a matching Bluetooth keyboard that never dropped a keystroke or exhibited any lag during multiple periods of extended typing.
Pair the cradled tablet with its keyboard buddy, and you have a serviceable Windows workstation. It's by no means a perfect productivity system--more about that later--and, sure, many W700 owners will inevitably experience that "Doh!" moment when they discover they never packed the keyboard in their carry-on. Nonetheless, as a total package, the W700 offers much more productivity potential than any Android or Apple tablet.
I found the W700's styling a bit too blingy. The tablet itself looked classy enough: It's mostly touchscreen and aluminum unibody, so how flamboyant could it be? Still, I'm not a fan of the sparkly silver accents and stark, white plastic on the cradle and the keyboard. To its credit, the tablet exhibited no flex when I attempted to bend it in half (sorry, Acer, I had to try!), and the device's overall build quality gave me confidence in its long-term durability.
At 0.47 inch thick, the W700 easily satisfies Intel's Ultrabook spec, but it's a bit thicker than the new iPad. The W700 feels noticeably heavier than the new iPad, but the extra heft didn't seem excessive, perhaps because the weight scales evenly with the extra screen real estate.
As far as data ports and other points of interest on the hardware slab, the W700 offers a bit more than most Android tablets, and much more than the iPad, including one full-size USB 3.0 port, a Micro HDMI port, and a headphone/speaker combo jack. The tablet's 5-megapixel rear camera shoots 1080p video, while its front-facing camera (megapixel count not disclosed) shoots 720p. Unspectacular stereo speakers are located at the bottom of the device, and a physical Windows Start screen button sits smack dab in the middle of the lower bezel.
Maybe that button is there for people who'll never get used to Windows 8's new touch controls. I'm not one of these people.
Acer W700: A new take on touch tabletry
One of Android's best qualities is that it offers more customization options and power-user features than iOS. But Windows 8 offers even greater depth of user control. The time I spent with the W700 in its pure "Windows 8 style" tablet mode showed me that the big brains in Redmond are introducing some real innovations to the greater touch-control lexicon.
The split-screen view is one of my favorite new tricks. The OS supports full multitasking, and with a specific finger swipe maneuver, you can open two different Windows 8 apps on screen. For example, your Mail app can occupy the left pane (which is fixed at roughly one-quarter of the display) while Internet Explorer can sit in the right pane (which dominates the screen). If you like, you can flip their positions, moving the skinnier pane to the right side.
Another neat trick: To switch between open apps, simply drag your finger from the left side of the screen. Its the Windows 8 version of Alt-Tab, and once again demonstrates just how powerful--and fun--the system is relative to the competition. To see a thumbnail filmstrip of all of your open apps, quickly drag your finger right and then left, from the left edge of the screen. To access the Windows 8 "charms" bar--a centralized home for search, sharing, and settings functions, among others--swipe in from the right bezel.
All these touch maneuvers became second nature once I learned them, but they're not intuitive from the giddy-up, and they're difficult to describe in words. This could emerge as a public relations pain point for Microsoft. If the company is smart, it will build a force-run demo video into Windows 8--something that pops up the first time someone turns on the new hardware.
The demo video would inevitably be met with crushing criticism--oh, imagine the glorious memes!--but Microsoft needs some practical way of teaching users these unintuitive (but ultimately simple) controls.
Challenging learning curves aside, I found the W700's touch controls quick, fluid, and responsive. Screen redraws never lagged or stuttered, and the hardware seemed well-equipped to handle the OS's requirements. We didn't run any benchmarks on our preproduction unit, but if a Core i5 and 4GB of memory can't boss a tablet OS around like a schoolyard bully, Microsoft has serious optimization problems.
The Windows 8 Start screen is an engaging alternative to Android and iOS. Much like Android widgets, Windows 8 "live tiles" place dynamic, real-time updates for various apps on top of your main user interface. For example, the Weather tile shows current local conditions, and the News tile shows a recent headline along with a photo. But Android widgets lack any real design constraints, and the result is a home screen that sometimes resembles a visual circus. In contrast, live tiles conform to simple design rules that foster a more sober and sophisticated look.
Of course, the new Start screen is far from perfect. For one thing, without resorting to third-party utilities, a user who wants to boot straight into the system's desktop mode can't bypass the Start screen. And as Paul Allen recently pointed out, the Start screen has no hierarchical nesting system--so if you have a huge collection of apps, you may find yourself scrolling ad nauseam to find a particular live tile.
Still, throughout my week of hands-on work with the W700, I found the Start screen to be a pleasant, effective new take on a tablet-optimized user interface, and Windows 8 to be a winning tablet OS. Microsoft's built-in Mail, Calendar, and Internet Explorer apps are stripped-down versions of their desktop counterparts, but they more than sufficed to meet my relatively modest tablet productivity expectations.
All of which brings us to the question of how the W700 and Windows 8 performed in desktop mode. It was far better than some critics have made it out to be, but a device like this definitely presents some compromises.

Hosted by Kerri Kasem, daughter of syndicated "Top 40" radio legend Casey Kasem, at the famed Hollywood venue The Avalon, the night shined a spotlight on the power we have to live out our dreams and in turn help positively change the world in which we live. Pop Universe featured designs from seven up-and-coming fashion designers, three cutting edge bands, and ten extraordinary artists. "Providing opportunity to those that might not have a platform to showcase their talents is what Project ETHOS is all about," stated Jason Peskin, co-founder and CEO. "This is the third year that we have put on an event of this nature and it continues to grow as people come into the awareness of what it is that we are doing."
Not only providing a platform for talent, Project ETHOS provides a platform for social and cultural reform. How we view music, art, and fashion is mainly driven by media telling us whether or not something is worthy of our attention. When you look in the gap between over rated media hype and underground solitude, you are sure to find a plethora of artistic geniuses across all creative boards. Project ETHOS is one of the microscopes enlarging your vision to see that which you have been unfortunately unable to see due to lack of exposure.
One of these "in the gap" artists featured at Pop Universe is Jen Garcia. Garcia, fashion designer and creator of VIM TROUSSEAU, has been designing for most of her life. Pulling inspiration from cross-cultural elements, the underground music scene, and just about anything that doesn't fit into a square box, Vim Trousseau manages to teeter on the line of traditional fashion wherewithal while leading the pack in designs that inspire. Futuristic ideas seemed to be the running theme with her Spring/Summer 2009 collection titled Cosmic Girl showcased at Pop Universe. Bright metallic sheaths, patterned leggings, and short shorts embellished with satin blocks of color captivated the audience and had me wanting to see more. After the show, I couldn't wait to catch up with Garcia and request a pair of the leggings I saw during the show. I was told by the designer that the printed leggings have a microchip print on them inspired by genuine circuit board. Now, how's that for becoming a true Cosmic Girl!
Designers Sun Leem's classic collection of tailored women's tuxedo slacks with hints of bling hugging the waist, contoured cocktail dresses, and wide leg travel pants in soft khaki was also a stand out.
Other designers showcasing their garbs included Jason Lee, Eva Devore, Shireen Jamehdor, Rachel Fainstadt & Ali Hijazi, and Syc Fuk.
Fashion wasn't the only highlight of my night at Pop Universe. The music of the night was more than a backdrop to any given models stride. Headlining the evening was emerging elector/hip-hop group LMFAO featuring Red Foo and Sky Blu. The talented and off-beat duo got the crowd pumped with their rambunctious lyrics and "you have to see it to know what I'm talking about" choreography.
Making people aware of new talent was just one element of Project ETHOS. The organization also wanted you to become aware of what you could do to give back to the community in which you live. Hence the incorporation of the Covenant House California (CHC) which has taken on the daring task to end youth homelessness through its many charitable works. Borba, who regularly partners with CHC, not only sponsored the event but sold inspirational quote bracelets for $5 donating all of the proceeds directly to supporting CHC and their cause. During the nights event, Borba sold a total of 40 bracelets! All proceeds will go directly to CHC.
I was fortunate enough to gain a seat next to Scott-Vincent Borba, Founder and CEO of Borba. Scott and his knowledgeable staff, who included VP of Marketing, Jennifer Norman, and Executive Assistant Robert Lachman, explained to me that not only is Borba revolutionary in terms of its skincare products, but the company is also revolutionary in how it operates to give back to the world in which we are so apt to take from. Borba relayed that beyond the surface lies a fundamental core of all things when it comes to our bodies and our world. If we don't take care of the core, it is inevitable that the surface will suffer. The approach that Borba uses when it comes to product development is the same approach used when interacting and giving back to the community.
If you didn't get a chance to attend this event and would like to know more information about Project ETHOS, Covenant House or Borba, please reference the following:

The eyes are the window not just to the soul but to the psyche in "Vision Disturbance,'' Christina Masciotti's deceptively disarming play about two damaged people who are thrown together when one is called upon to heal the other.
But which one? On the surface, "Vision Disturbance'' rides a quirky, offbeat charm, but there are mysteries and riddles under that surface, deftly teased out in this absorbing production by the New York City Players, directed by Richard Maxwell and presented by ArtsEmerson at the Paramount Center Mainstage.
Mondo, played with quietly compelling force by Linda Mancini, is a middle-aged Greek immigrant who is bedeviled by a mysterious eye disorder that creates unsettling gaps in her vision. A trim, petite figure, attired in a turquoise sweater and a black skirt with a pattern of white squares, Mondo often keeps her hands folded in front of her as she speaks. Yet she exudes a capable, no-nonsense air when she visits the office of Dr. Hull, an awkward, uptight eye specialist portrayed by Jay Smith. "Everything looks different,'' she tells the doctor, describing her vision problem. She adds: "Things keep changing where they are.''
Indeed. After 13 years of marriage, Mondo is now going through nightmarish divorce proceedings, in which the judge is openly siding with her ex. Even though her husband's cheating led to their split, he is demanding alimony, claiming he hurt his back and can't work. "He's a deadbeef,'' Mondo says, one of numerous exquisitely expressive malapropisms she utters in her thick accent. (Others include "nervewrecking'' instead of "nervewracking,'' and "Oh, great, I'm between a rock and hell.'')
The set by Adrian W. Jones is spare: one large piece of plywood for the floor, one for a wall. Within that space, Maxwell alters the spatial relationship between Mondo and Dr. Hull so that in one scene, they might be seated in chairs on opposite sides of the stage, as far from each other as they could possibly be, while in another, they are literally cheek by jowl.
Dr. Hull counsels music therapy for Mondo's eye disorder, asserting it will help release the tension he believes is causing her problem. ("I know I'm supposed to reduce my stress, but it raises my stress to know I have to reduce my stress!'' Mondo exclaims, giving voice to a universal quandary). He recommends that she attend classical music concerts and resume playing the piano, and he urges her to vent her frustration by banging on a cymbal in his office. She does. But it is Greek music Mondo longs for; she loves how it carries the entire history of a nation and a culture, and she is puzzled by the lack of American songs about Washington or Roosevelt. At another point, she admits that she fears the end of her marriage might erode her Greek identity.
As she confides details of her unraveling life to Dr. Hull, it's clear that his interest in Mondo is moving beyond the purely professional. It becomes equally evident that the good doctor has some major issues of his own. Tall, balding, attired in a shirt and tie, he presents an outwardly professional mien, but he's been knocked around by the world no less that Mondo – with far fewer inner resources to draw on than she has.
"I feel like I'm made of rubber and mush for brains,'' he says mournfully. It's impossible to imagine Mondo describing herself that way, for all her travails.
There's nothing orthodox about these characters or the touching bond that grows between them. "Vision Disturbance'' was the first production in a program launched by the New York City Players to produce works by "early-career experimental playwrights.'' Good choice: Masciotti is a writer of promise, not least because she understands that there is no single way of seeing.

The main motivation of this contribution is to introduce a computational laboratory to analyse defects and fractures at the sub--micro scale. To this end, we have attempted to present a continuum--atomistic multiscale algorithm for the analysis of crystalline deformation, i.e. we have combined the above--mentioned Cauchy--Born rule within a finite element approximation (FEM) on the continuum region with a molecular dynamics (MD) resolution on the atomistic domain. The aim is twofold: on the one hand the stability, i.e. validity of the Cauchy--Born rule and its transition to non--affine deformation at the micron--scale is studied with the help of molecular dynamics approach to capture fine--scales features; on the other hand a horizontal FEM/MD, i.e. continuum atomistic coupling, is envisaged in order to study representative cases of crystalline defects. To cope with the latter we have introduced a horizontal coupling method for continuum--atomistic analysis.

Iran leader condemns Syria chemical weapons usage
TEHRAN–Iran's new president has condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria's civil war without blaming a side for it.
The comments by Iranian President Hasan Rouhani on Saturday, broadcast by Iranian state television, come as his government is a major backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
It also follows comments on Wednesday by Iran's foreign minister, who blamed Syrian rebels for the use of chemical weapons.
In his speech at the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Rouhani spoke about how Iran was previously the victim of chemical warfare during its 1980s war with Iraq. The president said the death of innocent people through the use of chemical weapons was "very distressing."
Rouhani did not elaborate on what his government knew about the chemical weapons use in Syria.

Kamloops Mennonite Fellowship (Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada)
In 1963 the Missions/Service Committee of the Conference of United Mennonite Churches of British Columbia began looking at Kamloops as a new area of mission work. It was soon joined by the Missions Board of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada. Since the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches was also interested in openings in Kamloops, consultation between the two groups also took place.
In the summer of 1966, John Hiebert, a seminary student in Elkhart, Indiana, was approached to do a preliminary study of the potential for a self-supporting congregation affiliated with the General Conference, but with strong community involvement. In September 1966 three families in Kamloops began a Bible study group, and February 1967 saw the placement of John and Lydia Hiebert as local leaders by the Conference of Mennonites in Canada.
In 1968 the group began to grapple with its identity, as well as to find ways to involve the community. John Hiebert was given half-time support by the Canadian Conference. The Fellowship worked on aims and purposes, organized a community peace conference and held weekly Sunday morning devotional services and midweek discussion meetings and a few weekend retreats.
Under the auspices of the Board of Missions of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada, on 24 November 1968 all this work culminated in ordaining John Hiebert as a minister and the Kamloops Mennonite Fellowship becoming a Conference member with a membership of 12.
Kamloops, a somewhat transient community, saw the numbers drop to about half the following year, but the next years saw an influx of couples and families. The group preferred the intimacy of a house church, while it continued to work closely with a number of community agencies, meeting on Sunday mornings in the home of John and Lydia Hiebert. After the departure of the Hieberts in 1972, the group continued meeting in various members' homes on a rotating basis on Sunday evenings. A November 1972 letter to the Conference of Mennonites states, "The Kamloops Mennonite Fellowship is a house church consisting of eighteen adults and twenty-two children. Most of the participants of our group are young married couples with children."
The children often created a high demand on adults in babysitting, in finding suitable teaching material and in having disruptions. Group membership kept shifting. Some people came, tried it, and moved on. Being sensitive to new people's concerns remained a constant challenge. The interaction of a small group at times attracted those critical of the traditional church. Further, the lively group interaction had the potential for tension in some discussions or in some worship practices. In its earlier years, some members felt somewhat of a disjunction between the formal Conference desire for growth and the group's own strong interest in community service. The small group allowed great participation in sharing ideas and spiritual concerns and in supporting personal expression. The supportive environment allowed members to explore their theological and spiritual reflections and experiences and to have a very open group process, both for its weekly programming and for its future planning. The fellowship provided a time of significant personal, spiritual, and group growth, permitting members to address diverse issues at both the personal and group levels. Because of its theological openness, the group attracted people from a diversity of backgrounds, many of whom might otherwise not have attended an established church, especially one with a Mennonite orientation.
Following the departure of John Hiebert in 1972, the Kamloops Mennonite Fellowship turned to four coordinators, chosen to guide worship and education, with a focus on including children in the process. The Fellowship struggled with questions of official affiliation with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada, even with Conference remuneration to their pastor, and when Hiebert left in 1972, they wrote the Conference, "We, as a group, have decided that we would very much like to keep in contact with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada, even though about half the group are of non-Mennonite background. We have decided that we would not like to have any formal ties with the Conference."
The Kamloops Mennonite Fellowship formally dissolved in 1976, by which time so many had moved away from Kamloops that the remaining members could no longer sustain the group.

A horrific crash involving at least 200 vehicles occurred this morning on the highway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. At least six people were killed, it's unclear how many were injured. Several of the vehicles caught fire after the series of crashes, which are being attributed to the heavy fog. Speaking to the Gulf News, a German crash victim said, "The accident was a combination of fog and people using their hazard lights. After the crash I looked behind and people were yelling and screaming." Due to the dense fog, helicopters were unable to evacuate victims for two and a half hours. The accident caused extensive traffic jams.
If you must drive in heavy fog, dip your headlights, fog lights and turn on your rear fog lamp, if you have one. Adjust your speed according to the conditions, you should be able to come to a complete stop within the distance that you can see ahead of you. Allow a much greater distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Thanks to Jeffrey for the tip. [Via Gulf News]

Forms Developer is upwardly compatible with earlier versions of Oracle Forms, including Versions 3.0, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0.
Note:If you are upgrading from releases of Forms before Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g, you must first upgrade your applications to Forms 10g, and then upgrade them to Oracle Forms 11g.
Note:Before converting your forms or menus, it is recommended that you first make backup copies of all files. Once you upgrade a module, the module cannot be opened in an earlier version of Forms Developer.
To upgrade a version 4.x or 5.x Forms application to Forms 10g (10.1.2):
Start Forms 10g (10.1.2).
Choose File | Open to display the file.
Choose the module you want to upgrade.
Click OK.
Choose File | Save.
Choose Program | Compile | All to compile the upgraded module.
Note:All form modules and libraries must be upgraded and recompiled.
In order to streamline the tools available and simplify the development process for building Forms applications, the option of saving files to database has been removed. In Forms 6i, modules could be saved in the database. For all releases after 6i, module files that were saved in database must be saved to the file system.
Open the prior version of Forms.
Save the module files to the local file system.
Upgrade the files as described in Section 16.1, "Upgrading a Form".
If you have client-side program units written in PL/SQL V1 or V2, you must convert that code to the new level.
Stored program units can use all the PL/SQL features that are valid for use in client side PL/SQL. Certain PL/SQL features such as the supplied DBMS_LOB routines or DBMS packages that are specified as pragma interface (C, C++, etc) cannot be directly called from Client Side PL/SQL. Forms programs must call a stored procedure which in turn calls the routine in question in these restricted cases.
The default run-time behavior of forms created with Forms 5.0 through 6i differed from run-time behavior for Forms 4.5. The form-level Runtime Compatibility Mode property could be set to "4.5" to provide Forms release 4.5 behavior. (This happened by default in forms that were upgraded from Forms release 4.5.)
Starting with Forms Developer, 5.0 behavior is used in all cases, and the form-level property "Runtime Compatibility Mode" is ignored.
If you are upgrading a form that specifies 4.5 behavior to Oracle Forms, you must alter the logic, as necessary, to reflect the differences between 4.5 and 5.0 behavior. See the Forms 6i online help for information about the Runtime Compatibility Mode property and the differences between 4.5 and 5.0 behavior.

What do the seven blind mice do on Sunday? On Monday? Students find out in this recurring lesson that uses independent literacy centers to help students become proficient in completing activities about the stories they read. Although this lesson uses Seven Blind Mice as an example, the framework is adaptable to almost any text. Students begin with a shared reading of the selected text. Then, in subsequent lessons, students are introduced to each type of learning center in which students are asked to read, listen, and write about the text, create lists of words that contain the same beginning sound as a word from the story, and assemble sentence strips about the story. Each learning center is modeled in a large-group setting, and students are given the opportunity to role-play or engage in guided practice before being expected to work independently.
Writing Center Response Worksheet: Students can use this sentence frame to help them write about activities they do on their favorite day of the week.

- Instruction away from the teacher needs to be as powerful as instruction with the teacher.
- Learning centers are small areas within the classroom where students work alone or together to explore literacy activities while the teacher provides small-group reading instruction.
- Independent activities should create excitement about reading and writing and actually require students to interact with print while reading and writing.
- We need to set children up for successthe instructional activity must be within reach of the learner.

Intramedullary spinal masses: A pictorial essay
Abraham Fourie Bezuidenhout; Jared M. Lipsitz; Anne-Marie Du Plessis
Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
This pictorial essay provides a classification system for the most common intramedullary spinal masses and describes distinguishing imaging features that will aid the radiologist in providing a relevant differential diagnosis to guide further management.
The clinical symptoms of intramedullary spinal masses, such as back pain, radiculopathy and myelopathy, are nonspecific; therefore responsibility falls on the radiologist to provide a relevant differential diagnosis. The imaging gold standard for the evaluation of intramedullary masses is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On MRI, almost all intramedullary neoplasms expand the spinal cord, with variable post-contrast enhancement; absence of a combination of these features should suggest a non-neoplastic aetiology.1 Further associated imaging findings include spinal canal remodeling, syrinx formation, and tumoural and non-tumoural cysts.2 The most common differential diagnoses to be considered for intramedullary masses are malignant neoplasms (glial and non-glial tumours), benign neoplasms and, considering the large HIV-positive population, infective aetiologies. Spinal cord ependymomas are the most common intramedullary neoplasms in adults, and astrocytomas in children; combined, they constitute 70% of intramedullary neoplasms.1The aforementioned neoplasms, together with gangliogliomas, comprise the most common intramedullary spinal glial tumours. Non-glial neoplasms include vascular tumours such as haemangioblastomas and paragangliomas, and less common neoplasms such as lymphoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs), solitary fibrous tumours and metastases. Benign neoplasms include epidermoids and lipomas (Table 1).3,4
Glial neoplasms
Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary spinal neoplasms in adults.5 Most of these are low-grade neoplasms (i.e. World Health Organization [WHO] classification grade I or grade II). Histologically, the cellular subtype is classic and the most common (Figure 1).1 As these neoplasms arise from the ependymal cells lining the central canal, they are located centrally in the spinal cord, grow concentrically outward, are well circumscribed and demonstrate intense homogenous post-contrast enhancement. Cystic degeneration is seen in 50% of cases and haemorrhage is common at the superior and inferior margins; this causes the so-called haemosiderin 'cap sign' identified as hypointensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) seen in about 20%-33% of cases.1,5
Six histological subtypes are recognised; of note is the myxopapillary subtype which has a predilection for the conus medullaris and filum terminale, and represents the most common conus neoplasm. These neoplasms occur predominantly in young men and may occasionally demonstrate high signal intensity on both T1WI and T2WI, a finding that reflects mucin content or haemorrhage.1 However, the imaging findings are generally non-specific and the conus medullaris location should be suggestive of the diagnosis (Figure 2).
Astrocytomas arise from astrocytic glial cells and are the most common intramedullary tumours in children.2 These are usually low-grade neoplasms, with less than 2% being glioblastomas (Figure 3).5
Unlike their intracranial counterparts, spinal astrocytomas often demonstrate patchy post-contrast enhancement. They are usually eccentrically located within the cord and ill-defined owing to their infiltrative growth pattern. As cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination may occur, imaging of the entire neuraxis is recommended.2 Diffusor tensor imaging (fiber tractography) has been used to differentiate ependymomas, which displace rather than infiltrate white-matter tracts, from astrocytomas that disrupt the descending fibres (Figure 4).5,6 It is very difficult to distinguish ependymomas from astrocytomas on imaging, but Table 2 provides some detail that might help to simplify the process.
Mixed neuronal/ glial neoplasm
Gangliogliomas are low-grade neoplasms that occur in people at an average age of 19 years, and represent a mixture of neuronal elements (ganglion cells) and glial elements (primarily neoplastic astrocytes).1 A study by Patel et al. found that 84% of gangliogliomas had mixed signal intensity on T1WI (which is a unique finding for spinal neoplasms) and speculated that this was because of the dual cellular population.7 These neoplasms may involve long segments of the cord (commonly extending more than eight vertebral body segments), contain calcifications and often have very little surrounding oedema.8
Non-glial neoplasm: Vascular neoplasms
Most cord haemangioblastomas (80%) are solitary with multiple lesions indicative of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (Figure 5a).1 These neoplasms are capillary-rich nodular masses abutting the leptomeninges, with prominent dilated and tortuous vessels on the cord surface (Figure 6). Their appearance may reflect the classic cystic lesion with an enhancing mural nodule, commonly seen in their intracranial counterparts (Figure 5b). Syrinx and spinal cord oedema are characteristic findings even in small tumours.8 Imaging of the entire neuraxis is recommended for patients with a positive family history of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine neoplasms arising from paraganglia. Paraganglia are accessory organs of the peripheral nervous system.1 They are encapsulated, highly vascular neoplasms with a predilection for the conus medullaris, cauda equina and filum terminale.8 Haemorrhage produces the 'cap sign', and intratumoural vessels with flow voids are common features of this tumour. Occasionally the characteristic 'salt-and-pepper' appearance, similar to neck and skull base paragangliomas, may be seen.
Rare non-glial neoplasm
Primary intramedullary lymphomas are rare, comprising 3.3% of central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas.9 There are only a handful of reports on the MRI findings of intramedullary lymphomas that describe high signal intensity on T2WI in contrast to the low signal intensity found in intracranial lesions and non-specific post-contrast enhancement (Figure 7).1
Intramedullary metastases are rare and most commonly secondary to bronchus and breast carcinoma (Figure 8).1 Cerebellar medulloblastoma has also been known to cause intramedullary metastasis.1 Spread may either be haematogenous or from the leptomeninges. Intramedullary metastases show avid post-contrast enhancement and profuse oedema which is often disproportionately extensive compared with the size of the lesion.8 Associated cysts are rare, compared with primary neoplasms. As cord expansion may be mild, differentiating intramedullary metastasis from demyelinating conditions can be difficult.
Solitary fibrous tumour
Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are uncommon spindle-cell neoplasms that typically arise in the pleural cavity. The first CNS SFT was described in 1996 and has received great attention since then.10 These tumours typically occur in adults and are usually well-circumscribed and show homogenous enhancement post contrast. Until this point, we have not dwelled on signal characteristics of the described conditions, as most spinal cord neoplasms are hypo- to isointense on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI, offering no assistance in differentiating individual intramedullary neoplasms. SFTs, however, demonstrate hypointense signal on T2WI, clearly defining this from other intramedullary neoplasms (Figure 9). This unique imaging appearance is caused by the hypocellularity of, and abundant collagen stroma within this tumour.11
Primitive neuroectodermal tumour
Intramedullary primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a rare, aggressive embryonal tumour and is more commonly seen secondary to metastatic spread through the CSF from an intracranial primary tumour. Intramedullary PNET is slightly more common in young adults than in children.2 MRI findings are non-specific including T1 hypointensity, T2 hyperintensity and avid post-contrast enhancement.
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour (ATRT) is a rare intramedullary tumour that mainly occurs in children less than 2 years old, and shares MRI characteristics with PNETs.2
Benign neoplasms
Intramedullary epidermoids are ectodermal inclusion neoplasms that result from anomalous implantation during neural tube closure.12 Progressive desquamation of keratin from the epithelial lining into the interior of the neoplasm produces a cystic lesion that follows CSF intensity on T1- and T2-weighted sequences but demonstrates characteristic 'dirty' or heterogenous hyperintense fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) signal and restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging, which aids in differentiating this neoplasm from others.13
Intramedullary lipomas consist of normal fat. The pathophysiology of these lesions is poorly understood. They usually occur along the dorsal midline of the spinal cord but rarely infiltrate the cord.14 They follow fat signal on all sequences and suppress on fat-supression sequences.
Infective masses
Intramedullary suppuration of the spinal cord is rare. Diagnosis of an intramedullary abscess should be considered in cases of acute neurological deterioration referable to spinal cord fall-out. CSF analysis plays an important role in differentiating between neoplastic and infective masses on initial imaging.8 Chronological MRI changes in intramedullary abscesses are similar to those in the brain. In the early stages of infectious myelitis, MRI demonstrates hyperintensity on T2WI with poorly defined enhancement on post-contrast T1WI; ultimately the mass becomes less diffusely hyperintense on T2WI, with more clearly defined marginal post-contrast enhancement.15
Tuberculous granuloma
Tuberculous granuloma (tuberculoma) needs special mention owing to its characteristic caseating solid centre demonstrating hypo- to isointense signal on both T1- and T2WI with post-contrast rim enhancement (Figure 10).16
Hydatid disease
Although intramedullary hydatid disease is extremely rare, owing to its endemicity, it should be considered in the differential of a cystic intramedullary mass. Spinal cord hydatid disease follows CSF signal intensity on all sequences but differs from its intracranial counterparts in that it does not demonstrate rim enhancement post contrast and rarely calcifies (Figure 11).17

"JP's riding and dedication to snowboarding speaks for itself- not many snowboarders have remained at the top of their class for over ten years. We are absolutely thrilled to have him on the team. It's cool that we share the same values and beliefs as to what a snowboard company and team should be." – StepChild founder Sean Johnson.
"Where else would I end up? Come on, you know I keep it one-hunney! StepChild is one of the last true snowboard companies out there. I love that they value what a professional rider brings to the table. Rider owned and driven, others claim it but none live it, son!" – JP Walker.
There's no denying JP has had a huge impact on the sport of snowboarding over the past decade. Anyone who knows anything about snowboarding is familiar with JP's video parts. Over the years he set a new standard filming with MDP and for some of the biggest selling team videos of all time; he invented tricks and numerous first-ever-bangers caught on film. JP's riding and style has stayed relevant even in an era marked by the X-Games, reality shows, corporate takeovers and riders with fistfuls of energy drinks. No one has been able to continually raise the bar, and maintain a high level of integrity, style, innovation and technical tricks like JP has. Even after a season unexpectedly cut short, JP managed to have a solid presence in videos and magazines, including his Future cover, surprisingly JP's first North American cover shot of his career.
Walker's snowboarding career is the result of immense talent, hard work and dedication -attributes he will continue to bring to the game in the future. His priority is the progression of snowboarding, but it's also about the way he and his sport are portrayed to the public. Driven by the same ideals StepChild and JP are the perfect combination.
"Obviously StepChild is focused on snowboard videos and progression, two things that I've always been an advocate of. They have an amazing team of handrail slayers, and i'm stoked to be a part of it, been riding their boards on the down low this past week and i'm stoked. It's simply the best fit. One." – JP Walker.
Simon Chamberlain adds, "Growing up watching snowboard videos, JP Walker has always been my favourite snowboarder of all time. It truly is amazing to see him riding for Stepchild. Its like a dream come true, not only for me but for the whole company."
JP will have a Pro Model with StepChild in three sizes: 147, 151, and 154. The boards will be sold with a regular edge as well as a RETT (Round Edge Taper Tuning) option. The board has a dull round edge between the feet for jibbing, and tapers out to a regular edge by the time it reaches the contact points. "The boards are tuned at the factory exactly how I would tune them at home." adds JP.
JP is currently filming with Mack Dawg Productions for Double Decade, which will be released in August 2008. His current sponsor list includes: StepChild Snowboards, 32 and Etnies, Oakley, Nixon, Bear Mountain, Milosport and Molcasalsa. StepChild's International Pro Team now consists of JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain, Markku Koski, Stian Solberg and Fredu Sirvio. The International Am Team consists of Joe Sexton, Risto Ruokola, and Scotty Vine. Other notable supporters include Chris Wimbles, Brian McClatchy and E-Man amongst others.
About StepChild: StepChild is a snowboard company that specializes in camping stoves, fishing tackle, and tennis rackets. The StepChild team is currently training and testing sand boards in Egypt. Joe Sexton and Simon Chamberlain are currently pushing the envelope of progressive sandboarding in the Egyptian Parallel Slalom while Markku and Stian aren't having much luck in the Sandboard half pipe event. "The stupid camel just won't pull us to the top! He's going to need an energy drink sponsor" adds Markku.

Southern Beltway turnpike extension back on
Project will link Route 22 to Interstate 79
A planned 13-mile extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in the southwestern corner of the state is back on the front burner.
Turnpike commission Chairman William Lieberman said Friday that work is resuming on the final design for the next leg of the so-called Southern Beltway. It will link U.S. Route 22 in eastern Washington County to Interstate 79 at the Washington-Allegheny County line.
Turnpike officials say the $632.5 million project has been stalled for lack of funding for several years, but that work is now proceeding.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2014 and it's scheduled to open around 2020.
Lieberman says the expressway will be an economic boon for the region, creating more than 20,000 full- and part-time jobs and injecting nearly $2.7 billion into the economy.

If you thought putting shit in someone's food was the nastiest possible way to get revenge, think again. A woman named Jumiah in Singapore took things to a whole new level when she put some of her menstrual blood in her boss's coffee. Why don't we all take a minute to say "Ahhhhhuckuggthhhuuh" as we realize that, yes, in fact someone else did pour our coffee this morning...
As for why Jumiah, 24, chose to do this to her boss, it's not clear. She had worked for the man for about a year, and she really must not have been too fond of him. I don't even think we should start speculating about how she got the blood into the coffee. Let's hope it involved tupperware and not a direct transfer, I guess? Oh God. Oh God. Is there a a way to get Purell into your brain?

Back style variation
When Eve ate an apple from the tree in The Garden of Eden she lost her innocence and took to wearing a fig leaf to cover her modesty.
Adam took to wearing a fig leaf, too.
And soon, The Garden of Eden was no more.
But what if the Wicked Weasel Matt Lycra range were available to Eve at the time?
I think I know what would have happened...
Eve would've forgotten about that forbidden apple.
She would have ditched the fig leaf and covered her modesty with the bikini bottoms from the Matt Lycra range.
And she would have looked... hot!
Adam would have noticed (how could he not!?) and there would have been much pleasure in The Garden of Eden. And let's face it... the whole world from that day forward would have been a much better place for it.
If only God had designed the Matt Lycra bikini range. He didn't. So Wicked Weasel has. And the world (according to our very pleased and pleasured customers) is a much better place because of it.
This Matt Lycra Bikini Collection is made of a high quality nylon lycra.
80% Nylon, 20% Elastane.
Please refer to the garment label for specific instructions on how best to care for your sexy bikini to give you years of satisfaction and enjoyment!
The general rule for all high-quality swimwear is to hand wash and hang to dry out of direct sunlight.

The Snowy Mountains River (hydro-electricity) Scheme was a massive building project in the eastern areas of Australia in the 1950s/1960s which, along with steel/shipping projects like Port Kembla, employed my father and lots of other migrants to Australia – a massive industrial hydro project, which redirected rivers and tunneled through mountains, and – more importantly – effectively invented multiculturalism. More than 120 people died in accidents 'taming' the river, and some of the left union organisers for the scheme entered politics, and along with people like Al Grassby, who went on into govt in 1972, under Whitlam, their efforts meant Australia was never the same again. Powered up multiculti, Italians, Balts and Ukrainins learning English as in the pic alongside. Ivan Hutnyk was not well served by these 'lessons' and said it was mighty cold in the snowy (yes, there is snow in Australia). He didn't start speaking good 'strine till the early 60s. Ahh, the lucky country. Well, lucky but not without the hiccups that goofed Gough out in 1975, and led to the scourges we call PM Malcom pantsdown Frazer, PM silver-bodgie Hawke, PM Paul timepiece Keating and, PM John bumbling battler/razor gang Howard, who led the ultra-right resurgence of the dull in the mid 1990s. Rudd(erless) leadership seems set to continue, the old Left orgs have dried up like the river.
"The Scheme also absorbed many of the migrants who were arriving in Australia in response to the Commonwealth Government's Immigration Scheme in the post-war years. Overall, 100,000 people worked on the Scheme's construction between 1949 and 1974 two-thirds of them migrant workers. The workforce reached a peak of 7,300 in 1959.
The Snowy Mountains Scheme is widely recognised as the birthplace of multiculturalism in Australia. Workers from over 30 countries including Australia, Austria, Finland, Jordan, Russia, USA, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey, Estonia, France, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Rumania and The Ukraine worked on the Scheme through planning and construction". Ref
So, of course there have been debates about privatization, ecopolitics of river systems, cheesy films and dodgy poetry, better films, govt reports (and flip flops) and active campaign groups. On the Politics of large dams, see Patrick McCully's excellent book Silenced Rivers, and an old piece of mine on the Bakun scheme in Malaysia in Left Curve (follow the links from here). The present campaign to restore flows to the Murray river has forced a 6% return. Go fish!

Jays may turn focus to acquiring position player
OAKLAND -- The Blue Jays' quest to upgrade their starting rotation became a little bit tougher after Oakland pulled off a blockbuster trade for Cubs right-handers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel on Friday night.
Toronto had been linked to both pitchers for the past several weeks. In the case of Samardzija, the Blue Jays' interest dates back to the offseason when the two clubs engaged in rather lengthy trade negotiations.
The Blue Jays continued to monitor Samardzija throughout the regular season and had scouts at most -- if not all -- of his starts this year. Instead of Toronto, though, it was the A's who pulled off the big deal when they agreed to part with a package of prospects, including Addison Russell.
"It'll be good to see him," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons sarcastically said of Samardzjia, who will pitch vs Toronto on Sunday. "[Billy] Beane's been known to make some moves."
The market for starters at the upcoming Non-Waiver Trade Deadline was never expected to be particularly strong but it has become a lot weaker now that two pitchers are off the market. The quality of available talent will largely depend on what Tampa Bay decides to do with David Price while Philadelphia could make things interesting by putting Cole Hamels, A.J. Burnett and Cliff Lee on the block.
None of those pitchers would come cheap but that might be OK for a Blue Jays organization that appears to be shifting its focus toward position players. The emergence of young pitchers like Drew Hutchison and Marcus Stroman to go along with Mark Buehrle and R.A. Dickey means the club isn't quite as desperate for starters as it once was.
There's an obvious need for either a second or third baseman as the club searches for ways to score more runs. Toronto had the top-ranked offense in baseball during May but that production slid to 17th the following month.
Toronto has particularly struggled vs left-handed pitching with an AL-worst .234 this season. Another right-handed bat would be useful and the position doesn't really matter because injured infielder Brett Lawrie can play either second or third when he returns from the 15-day disabled list.
"Our big thing right now is scoring runs," Gibbons said. "When we were going really good, we were swinging it. The hole with Brett being gone, trying to shore up the infield a little bit, get some production out of that, is more glaring than the rotation right now. But what might happen, I have no idea."

Kandy Paint Records Is Showing Love While Paying Homage To Dj Screw (Rest In Promethazine)
Posted by Kandy Paint Records
Robert Earl "DJ Screw" Davis, Jr. (July 20, 1971 – November 16, 2000)[1] was a Houston, Texas-based DJ. He was known as a central figure in the Houston hip-hop community and was the creator of the now-famous Chopped and Screwed DJ technique. This creation led to his nickname of "The Originator." Davis was recognized for his various mixtapes and albums mostly on a regional level, until after his death. His legacy was discovered by a wider audience when Houston hip-hop began reaching a national audience in 2005.
DJ Screw was born in Bastrop, Texas, not far from Smithville, Texas. His father, Robert Earl Davis, Sr., was a long-haul truck driver based in Screwston. His mother Ida May Davis (who had a young daughter from a previous marriage), came to the area to be with her mother when her son was born in 1971. She returned to Screwston, but the marriage was floundering; soon it would be over, and she and her kids moved to Los Angeles for a couple of years, then back to Screwston, and returned to Smithville in 1980 at the age of nine.[2]
A young DJ Screw had aspirations of being a truck driver like his father, but seeing the 1984 hit break dancing movie Breakin' and discovering his mother's turntable permanently derailed those dreams. He would take her B. B. King and Johnnie Taylor records and scratch them on the turntable the way deejays did, slowing the spinning disc and then allowing it to speed back up, playing with sound. Robert Earl began buying records of his own and playing deejay with his distant friend Trey Adkins, who would rap. "Screw had a jam box," Adkins told Texas Monthly, "and he hooked up two turntables to it and made a fader out of the radio tuner so he could deejay." Adkins said if Robert Earl didn't like a record, he would deface it with a screw. One day Adkins asked him, "Who do you think you are, DJ Screw?" Robert Earl liked the sound of that and in turn gave his long time friend a new name: Shorty Mac.[2]
He began DJing at age 12 in 1983, and started his trademark slowed-down mixes in 1990. The mixes began as special compilations requested by friends and those in the know. He soon made them available for sale when his close friend Toe offered to buy a mix from him for ten dollars. At that point, customers had increasingly begun requesting his more well-known mixes instead of personalized lists. During the early 1990s, he invited some of the Houston rappers from the city's south side to rap on those mixes.[3] This coalition of rappers eventually became the formation of the Screwed Up Click.
He moved to a house near Gulfgate Mall. Fans, some driving from far away areas such as Dallas and Waco, lined up at his door to obtain his recordings. He started his own business and opened a shop up on 7717 Cullen Blvd in Houston TX called Screwed Up Records and Tapes. It has been shown in numerous music videos and documentaries as well as independent films. There are now several Screwed Up Records and Tapes spread out through Texas, including one in Beaumont and in Austin.[2]
Texas Governor Rick Perry honored him by making him an official Texas Music Pioneer.[4]
Davis died on November 16, 2000. Fans speculated about the true cause of his death. [5] When the coroner reports were released, they confirmed that he died of a codeine overdose in addition to mixed drug intoxication. The codeine came from a prescription-strength cough syrup that he would mix with soda to concoct a beverage called purple drank. In addition to codeine, Valium and PCP were found in his blood.[2] His funeral took place at Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church in his hometown of Smithville, Texas.[2]
DJ Screw has been a considerable influence in the Houston scene, which is sometimes referred to as "Screwston" in his memory. His distinct musical stylings influenced countless rap acts. Alternative weekly The Houston Press named the 1995 album 3 N' Da Mornin, Part 2 as no. 13 on its list of the 25 best Houston rap albums of all time. The newspaper credited the release for the way it helped shape Houston's hip-hop culture.[6] The newspaper also referred to Chopped and Screwed music as the second most likely type of music to be associated with Texas, an example of DJ Screw's influence in the region.[7]
A music festival and car show in honor of DJ Screw was set up in 2006. The inaugural DJ Screwfest featured 200 vehicles [8] and a setlist featuring notable Houston hip-hop acts like Slim Thug, Trae, and Chingo Bling. The first festival, which took place at the Pasadena County Fairgrounds, ran into problems including rain and limited sound equipment.[9]
When the Houston hip-hop scene became nationally prominent in 2004, many of the biggest acts could be traced to DJ Screw's crew, the Screwed Up Click. The expansive crew, which featured more than 15 rappers, were featured prominently on his mixtapes and often spent nights with him recording. Some of the more famous rappers to come out of the Screwed Up Click include Big Hawk, Lil' Keke, and Fat Pat. While many of the S.U.C. rappers enjoyed major-label success, DJ Screw himself remained largely underground. He was uncomfortable with mainstream business practices like bank accounts and copyrights.[2] He would allow members of the S.U.C. to rap on his mixtapes free of charge, despite the large amount of exposure a screw tape feature could provide. A single tape could have reached 100,000 listeners according to some estimates; they often led to further success, including recording contracts.[5]

Warren Moon is a fan of Johnny Manziel's skill set.
However, Moon does have a few reservations about the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.
In an interview with Alex Marvez and Zig Fracassi on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Moon said the 6-foot, 207-pound Manziel must avoid seeking contact as much as he did on the college level. Moreover, Manziel also must prove he can regularly operate from the pocket, according to the Hall of Fame quarterback.
"Well, he's one of the most exciting players to play college football, no question about it," Moon said of Manziel. "He's a risk taker, and he gets away with a lot of those things.
"I just think in the NFL, some of those things, he's going to have to take out of his game. He just won't be able to get away with some of those things that he did in college football, especially taking on people, being as physical as he likes to play the game. I don't think you can do that in the NFL or you won't be available for your football team.
"So if he changes a lot of those things out of his game, those are the things that made him special. Now all of a sudden he becomes a pocket passer. Can he do that on a consistent basis? That's something I'm really not comfortable with right now. I'd have to see him do a little bit more of that.
"But no question about it, he's an exciting football player that brings some very exciting athleticism to the position."
Moon praised Manziel's approach to the predraft process, noting that the former Texas A&M star has focused upon his craft.
Nevertheless, Moon still isn't sure if Manziel's collegiate production will translate to the NFL.
"He's doing all the things right to move himself up in the draft, but still, what makes Johnny Manziel 'Johnny' is those special, magical plays that he makes, and I just don't know if there's going to be as many of those when you're playing against the talent that he's playing against in the NFL," Moon said.

Kenyan water discovery brings hope to parched north
September 23, 2013 (AFP) – The Kenyan government and UNESCO on Wednesday announced the discovery of a huge supply of underground water in the impoverished, drought-stricken extreme north of the country. The find, made using advanced satellite exploration technology and backed up by UNESCO drilling, was hailed as a scientific breakthrough that could radically change the lives of the half-million people living in one of the world's most arid regions. Two aquifers — underground layers of permeable rock or silt soaked in water — were found in the Turkana region, the scene of a devastating drought two years ago that aid workers said pushed malnutrition rates up to 37 percent. "The news about these water reserves comes at a time when reliable water supplies are highly needed," said Judi Wakhungu, cabinet secretary in the Kenyan ministry of environment, water and natural resources. "This newly found wealth of water opens a door to a more prosperous future for the people of Turkana and the nation as a whole. We must now work to further explore these resources responsibly and safeguard them for future generations," Wakhungu said at the start of a water security conference in Nairobi. The firm which carried out the survey, Radar Technologies International (RTI), said the area hosts a minimum reserve of 250 billion cubic meters of water, which is recharged at a rate of 3.4 billion cubic meters per year — almost equivalent to annual water consumption in Austria. "Hundreds of thousands of livestock die because of recurring droughts. This won't happen anymore," RTI president Alain Gachet told AFP. "We've just doubled the country's drinking water reserves. The needs are huge, as women often have to walk 10 to 20 kilometres to get water." RTI said the largest find — the Lotikipi Basin Aquifer, located west of Lake Turkana — was roughly the size of the US state of Rhode Island. The smaller Lodwar Basin Aquifer, meanwhile, could feed the parched regional capital of Lodwar — although UNESCO cautioned that water quality still needed to be assessed. The hostile and desert-like Turkana region, near the northern border with Uganda, South Sudan and Ethiopia, is the poorest in the country, and its mostly-nomadic people are among the most vulnerable in Africa. Fighting between rival groups — often armed with guns — over grazing land for their livestock is common in the region. Of Kenya's 41 million strong population, 17 million lack access to safe water, and 28 million do not have adequate sanitation. Kenya's northern region already hosts Lake Turkana — the world's biggest desert lake stretching 250 kilometres (150 miles) long by 60 kilometres wide at its largest point — but the famous jade-coloured waters are threatened by hydroelectric dams cutting off feeder streams in neighbouring Ethiopia. But water is not the only resource under the ground, with exploratory oil drilling ongoing.
