Big Win Over 20-win UTEP Highlights Women's Hoops Season
Coach Mike Petersen moved the Mean Green women's basketball forward in its first season in Conference USA
March 27, 2014
DENTON, Texas – In its first season in a more competitive Conference USA the Mean Green women’s basketball team showed its ability to compete with anyone on any given day.
North Texas’ season was highlighted by a major upset of over the UTEP Miners on Feb. 19 at the Super Pit.
Coming into the game, the Miners were 20-4 on the season and were on a 7-game win streak. The 73-64 victory marked the first time the Mean Green has defeated a 20-win team at the time of play.
North Texas finished the season 0-9 in games decided by six points or less, which shows potential to grow and improve in the future.
Senior Laura McCoy left her name in the record books as she moved into second place in Mean Green history with 164 career 3-pointers. She sits behind only Ashley Norris, who had 197 in her time at North Texas. McCoy also boasts a career 86 percent free throw percentage, which is also good for second place all-time at the university.
Despite playing in a tougher conference this season, North Texas finished a half game better than last season with a 12-18 overall record and 6-10 record in C-USA play.
In a game at Rice on Feb. 26, four North Texas players had career games. Hyder and McCoy both tallied their 700th career points and seniors Desiree Nelson and Ash’Lynne Evans got their 500th and 400th, respectively.
The Mean Green said goodbye to four seniors – McCoy, Evans, Nelson and Hannah Christian.
Christian had a career-high in points and rebounds in her final game in a Mean Green uniform in the conference tournament loss to Louisiana Tech. She had 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes on the court.
Nelson finished her career with 518 points and Evans finished hers with 408.

Local governments are starting to encrypt routine police radio transmissions, altering a longstanding tradition of journalist access to these communications. Some cities are contemplating media decryption licenses but are also grappling with defining who qualifies for media access. The debate over police radio encryption shows how technology is relevant to First Amendment questions even at the local level, including in states where the Reporters Committee recently launched its Local Legal Initiative to provide journalists and news organizations with direct legal services.
Denver, Colorado, Racine, Wisconsin, Sioux City, Iowa, and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, are among the localities to encrypt routine police communications. Baltimore, Maryland, recently announced a decision to do so. For years, many local governments have encrypted sensitive police information, including SWAT team communications, but cities are now contemplating encrypting even routine communications.
Police argue that doing so prevents criminals from accessing these transmissions to evade law enforcement, as a robber and a shooter allegedly did in the Denver area. Police have also expressed increased concern about interference with their radios, pointing to, for instance, several instances in Chicago during the summer’s protests. But reporters argue that these transmissions help them inform the public of safety risks and serve as a source of timely alerts of newsworthy events.
Some cities have responded by instituting an exception to blanket encryption for members of the news media, allowing them to access the communications on request or through standing decryption licenses. For instance, the Eastern Riverside County Interoperable Communications Authority, an entity serving five Southern California cities, allowed access to local journalists from at least four news outlets on request from 2010 to 2019, when the entity revoked the exception. Denver offers decryption licenses, but at a cost of $4,000 and subject to substantial and expensive insurance requirements.
State legislators in several states have introduced bills that would require some form of access to these encrypted communications, but legislative efforts have largely failed. A 2019 bill introduced, but later withdrawn, in California would have required any law enforcement agency to “provide access to the encrypted communications to a duly authorized representative of any news service, newspaper, or radio or television network, upon request.” In Colorado, a 2018 bill that would have required routine police communications to be broadcast unencrypted also failed.
These bills raise questions about how to decide whether an individual is a “duly authorized representative” of the media. This question has come up repeatedly in the local context recently, especially as courts struggle with questions of media access during protests.
This issue effectively inverts the arguments that government officials and private parties usually make in the “encryption wars,” where law enforcement seeks access and private parties resist. We continue to monitor the issue.

In February 2019 we got to celebrate with MEKRA Lang as they were awarded the Daimler Supplier Award in the „Innovation“ category. Just a few months later the new Mercedes-Benz Actros was already on the road as the first series-production truck worldwide to use digital rear-view mirrors – and MEKRA Lang was honoring Solectrix’s essential contribution to the revolutionary mirror replacement system with the Hans Lang Supplier Award in the „Service“ category.
The cooperation between MEKRA Lang GmbH & Co. KG and solectrix GmbH began in the fall of 2016. The stated common goal: The development of an innovative digital mirror replacement system. Since then, three Solectrix teams were busy with the series development project. Intermittently, up to 16 developers were working in parallel on FPGA design, software design, the development of software tests and the hardware for the core module of the system. This makes us even more happy about the great appreciation shown to us with the award on July 4, 2019, at the KKC in Bad Windsheim.

BofA promotes green housing
The U.S. Green Building Council and the Bank of America Charitable Foundation have created a grant program to promote sustainability in residential areas. The program will provide funding and educational resources to developers and public agencies that seek LEED certification for neighborhood developments with an emphasis on affordable housing.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program is administered by the building council to certify environmentally friendly construction practices. The neighborhood development program recognizes projects that protect and enhance the health, natural environment and quality of life in a community.
The grants of up to $20,000 will offset the cost of LEED education and certification.
The building council says affordable housing remains a critical issue in metropolitan areas throughout the country. More than 6.5 million low-income families in the United States spend more than half their income on housing and utility costs; green homes typically require less energy and enjoy lower utility bills.
The partnership between the council and the foundation of Charlotte-based Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC) “brings together the combined goals of our two organizations in a way that can dramatically impact the health and vitality of communities across the country,” says Kerry Sullivan, president of Bank of America Charitable Foundation. “The ripple effect created by offsetting the costs of LEED for neighborhood development training and certification will help create more green affordable housing, while advancing the sustainability of entire neighborhoods.”
The application period for the affordable green homes grant program closes Sept. 9. Applicants will be notified of their status in October, and will receive their awards by early winter.

After seven years of being cancer free, Sirsy singer and drummer Mel Krahmer was re-diagnosed with the disease earlier this year.
It meant she and bandmate Rich Libutti had to take the summer off from touring.
“Even if we’re taking a break, like if someone has pneumonia, we usually only miss 14 days at the most,” Libutti said. “For us not to play for almost four months was weird.”
“You start to lose a little bit of yourself,” Krahmer said.
They found themselves, and the stage, again recently as doctors allowed Krahmer to return to performing. Sirsy brings its high energy, two-person show to Charlotte at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1 at The Evening Muse.
“The good thing that came out of it was that we wrote a bunch of songs and we’ll be playing those at The Evening Muse,” Krahmer said. “I wrote a lot of lyrics that were depressing at first, and then things started to turn around and I began to feel more like myself. I think a bunch of the new songs that came out of this are empowering and positive songs.
“There’s one song we wrote called ‘Like A Drum’ that goes ‘beat my troubles like a drum’ and it’s a fun, rock and roll, celebration of life song.”
Another new lyric is “I will stand up for you until you can stand up, too,” which was written about the support given to Sirsy from their home community of upstate New York and other musicians who perform on the same circuits.
Krahmer (drums, vocals, flute and keyboard) and Libutti (guitar, bass) first performed together in 2003, but in a different format.
“When we first started playing together we were an acoustic duo, but the songs we were writing were more for a full band, rock format,” Libutti said. “We tried that road of looking for people who were like-minded and wanted to make this a lifetime career and not just a weekend warrior-type thing. It was very difficult to find people we liked and people who we were on the same page musically. When we ditched that to do the two-piece thing it was very difficult at first. We were panicked. We practiced 16 hours a day. We knew it would either sink or fly.”
It has flown. Sirsy typically performs more than 200 dates a year and has shared the stage with acts like Grace Potter, Maroon 5, Train, Cheap Trick, the Spin Doctors and Collective Soul, and others. Their song “Cannonball” was featured on the Showtime show “Shameless” and another track, “Revolution,” was the theme song for the PBS documentary “So Right So Smart.”
The more they’ve played, the more comfortable Libutti and Krahmer, who plays a full drum set as she stands on stage, have become.
“We try not to let it be to schtick-y,” Libutti said. “At the end of the day we want people to leave the show and think that the songs were great and not just that it was cool to see a girl stand up and play the drums. We know it turns heads and makes us stand out when we are on bills with other bands.”
“We both come from theater backgrounds, so the show part of it is very important to us,” she said. “We tell stories on stage and I think we’ve gotten more comfortable doing that as we’ve gone along. We’ve gotten more honest with the crowd. We’re not up there trying to have rock and roll personas. We’re Mel and Rich from Sirsy and we let our guard down more and more with the crowd and we let them in with personal stories.
“The showmanship aspect has gotten better, too, as we’ve become more comfortable with all of the instruments we are playing. We want some substance there for people to take away. At the root of it, you want to connect with people with your songs.”

IT administrators in Samsung shops can finally manage Android OS updates with a new Knox feature.
A common problem in organizations is users being able to update the operating system on their mobile devices without IT having any control. As a result, some business apps may not work, because they don't support the new version of the OS. The new Knox feature, Enterprise Firmware Over-The-Air (E-FOTA), gives IT departments control over Android OS updates on Samsung devices. Citrix XenMobile is the first third-party enterprise mobility management (EMM) platform that will support this feature.
"It would be highly beneficial to have this capability," said Matt Kosht, an IT director at a utility company in Alaska that uses XenMobile. "This puts the mobile device into a better-controlled asset lifecycle IT is more accustomed to."
IT has had the ability to control Windows operating system updates for a long time -- although, some of those capabilities are changing in Windows 10 -- but it is still emerging for mobile devices. There is no way for IT to control Apple iOS updates, and E-FOTA is the first for Android.
Test first, deploy Android OS updates later
Knox, Samsung's enterprise mobile security software for its Galaxy devices, is a stand-alone feature that separates and protects business and personal content on the same device. It can also integrate with third-party EMM products to provide additional functionality. With E-FOTA, IT can set a policy to configure a device and restrict users from downloading Android OS updates right when they come out, giving IT time to test app compatibility first.
Eric Kleindirector of mobile software at VDC Research Group
"It's important for IT to know which apps will have a problem with an OS update, so it's a great capability," said Eric Klein, director of mobile software at VDC Research Group Inc., in Natick, Mass. "It saves them from downtime based on an application not working."
From a productivity perspective, having business apps down for an extended period of time can be costly, said Jack Gold, principal and founder of J. Gold Associates LLC, a mobile analyst firm in Northborough, Mass. At the same time, IT should not completely avoid updating mobile operating systems, because they need users to get the latest security enhancements, he said.
"You want to test to make sure when something new comes out, it's OK, and then roll it out, rather than let Samsung dictate that," he added.
E-FOTA device support
Samsung devices running Android Nougat 7.0 or later support E-FOTA. This list includes Galaxy S6, S7 and S8 smartphones, as well as the Galaxy Note 5 tablet.
How XenMobile fits in
Knox customers can use E-FOTA today on any supported Samsung devices. Citrix customers who want to use the feature must have their devices enrolled in XenMobile, as well as Knox, and they must pay an additional cost to Samsung. The companies did not disclose pricing. The new feature will be available for XenMobile around the launch of the Galaxy S8 on March 29, Citrix said.
Although Citrix is the first EMM platform to say it will support E-FOTA, it's safe to assume other vendors will follow suit, Klein said.
"I don't think this would be a differentiator," he said. "I don't see anything stopping other vendors from doing the same thing."

Christmas in Sorrento
If you are considering a trip to Italy's Amalfi Coast during the winter holidays, your best option is to stay in Sorrento, the coastal town where most holiday events and activities take place and where hotels and restaurants tend to stay open through the New Year. The town center is especially beautiful during the Christmas holidays, when the streets are lit with fairy lights and towering evergreens are decorated in the center of Piazza Tasso. Special holiday events and concerts are scheduled each weekend from the end of November through the entire month of December, and street artists and buskers entertain visitors young and old alike!
The holiday lights will be turned on this year from 22 November. Try to stop by the Piazza at the top of each hour (for example: 5 pm, 6 pm, 7 pm, and so on...): the tree decorations are timed to give a light show!
During your visit to Sorrento, we suggest you stop by the Walt Disney Village featuring all the most famous characters in lights in Piazza Sant'Antonino and penguins and polar bears in Piazza Lauro. The most popular events during this season are the Giornate Professionali del Cinema (1 - 7 Dec) and the open air party for New Year's Eve in Piazza Tasso.
Regardless of whether you arrive by car or train, your beginning point for exploring Sorrento is Piazza Lauro, decorated like a snow village. From here, walk to Piazza Tasso and admire the Christmas tree, with lights and decorations timed to give a show at the top of each hour, and Piazza Sant'Antonino, with its Disney-themed village. Don't forget to stop by Villa Fiorentino (the entrance is along Corso Italia) to visit the collection of traditional Nativity scenes and Santa's Village.
The easiest way to reach Sorrento during the holidays is by Circumvesuviana train. The final train leaving Sorrento for Naples is at 9.39 pm. Otherwise, you can arrive by car but try to visit in the early hours of the day as there are traffic jams on Saturday and Sunday from 5 pm. The most convenient parking is Correale, just beneath Piazza Lauro. Parking costs EUR 2/hour here and in all the parking lots in Sorrento.
HOLIDAY LIGHTS (until 31 January, 2020)
22 November: Lighted decorations are turned on
Each weekend from 23 November to 6 January, street entertainment is scheduled in the town center.

Arsenal vs Huddersfield
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, 8 December 2018
Kick-Off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal are finally looking at an easier fixture after playing the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United within last six days. The Gunners took an impressive four-point return from these ties to stay well in the contest for top-four positions. They look quite impressive under Unai Emery this season and they will be massive favourites to dispatch the likes of Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon at Emirates.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette inspired an amazing second-half comeback against the Spurs last weekend in the North London Derby. Arsenal took a highly-important 4-2 victor with a brace from the Gabonese striker who became league’s top scorer with ten goals so far in the season. Arsenal were then twice ahead at Old Trafford, but only to leave it with a point in their pockets after allowing Man Utd to claw their way back into the tie on both occasions.
Arsenal vs Huddersfield: Head-to-head
Arsenal were the dominant force in the most recent head to head history against the Terriers.
They won each of last five encounters against Huddersfield Town who failed to score more than once in the process.
The Gunners picked up a demolishing 5-0 victory when they last played Terriers at Emirates.
Arsenal vs Huddersfield: Prediction
The visitors made it two defeats in the spin on Tuesday when they fell 2-1 to Bournemouth at Vitality. David Wagner’s men lost the tie after conceding two quick goals within the opening 22 minutes. They were the superior side on the pitch later on and had 23 attempts in total, but still left Dorset empty-handed on the evening.
The Terriers shipped as many as 17 goals in 7 away matches in the league (1-2-4 record). They just don’t have much to hope for against the free-scoring and red-hot Arsenal side on Saturday. The hosts can overtake Tottenham Hotspur in third place with a win here and there are no doubts they’ll be highly motivated to get one.
Arsenal vs Huddersfield: Bet Tips
HT/FT Arsenal/Arsenal @ 1.80 (4/5)

Explore and revel in the 571 acres available to you and the history in the location, as it is one of the most historic grasslands in the area. Stroud Preserve is also includes farmlands and woodlands and provides a melting pot of unparalleled views, agricultural production, and an outstanding location for scientific research.
With nine miles of unpaved trails, the beauty of this nature preserve is guaranteed to make you return for more time and time again. Stroud Preserve additionally is working to protect the wildlife that reside there, as well as protecting the watersheds that nourish thousands of people.
- You can hike on Stroud Preserve trails for up to nine miles
- You can canoe and kayak down the river
- You can check out their historic sights
- You can learn more about the Stroud Water Research Center
Dr. Morris Stroud established Stroud Preserve in 1990 when he sold his 332-acre farm to Natural Lands. Before the farm was in Stroud’s possession, it was known as the Laird Farm, which was a historic cattle farm that stretched from the town of West Chester to Wawaset Road. The Stroud Water Research Center was commissioned by Stroud in his will, and the Center now studies various kinds of water that run in the Preserve’s streams and rivers. Stroud Preserve is the only site in Pennsylvania that is a part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Monitoring Program, which studies how land usage and human activities affect water quality.

Join us as we look back at the storied history of multi-GPU cards
The Voodoo-line of graphics cards might be long gone, but their impact is still felt today. They ushered in a new era of consumer PCs with relatively powerful video cards that could power the ultra demanding games of yesteryear like Quake and Unreal. It all started with the 3Dfx Voodoo2 and has continued on with modern cards like the Titan Z and R9 295X2.
Some of these boards were more important, popular, and successful than others, but they're all important in the history of consumer graphics cards.
Before we run down the list, it's important that we explain what exactly a GPU is. The term was first coined as part of Nvidia's marketing for the GeForce 256. The company defined it as "a single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second." For our purposes we're sticking with the idea that a GPU is any processor that's specifically made to render pixels.
Do you own any dual-GPU cards?
3Dfx Voodoo2: This is the card that started it all for the gaming scene. Released in 1998 as the successor to the original Voodoo Graphics chipset, the card packed not two GPUs, but THREE on a single card. The Voodoo2 also introduced SLI capabilities to consumer PCs. Two Voodoo2 boards could be linked together to split the task of drawing the display.

WESTPORT, Conn. — Roger Garrison, founder of the Tree of Life Orphanage in Source-Matelas in Haiti, was introduced to the Westport Sunrise Rotary by his friend Ken Bernhard with the Haitian proverb, "Beyond the mountains are more mountains."
Tree of Life helps 15 orphans ages 4 to 11 as well as 105 other children living nearby to get beyond those mountains by providing food, shelter, education and health care for the orphans and free schooling for the others, Garrison said. It employs 10 teachers and 17 other staff members.
Garrison started the orphanage three years ago. He recently retired from teaching at the Hackley School in Tarrytown, N.Y., and dedicates much of his time to helping Tree of Life serve a growing number of people in its resource-starved community.
Tree of Life remains a special project for Westport Sunrise Rotary, one it has supported since its start. Garrison came last Friday to give the group a progress report.
Education is far from universal in Haiti, he said. Parents must pay for their children to attend school, they must buy the uniforms that are mandatory throughout the country, and they must buy many of the required classroom materials.
Tree of Life follows the Haitian National Curriculum, with students copying what teachers write on the board. The education prepares them for their standardized tests and readies them to lead successful lives within Haitian society.
“The students are never a discipline problem," Garrison told the group. "They understand that education is the key.”
Not every child begins school at the same age, so students are grouped by “how they test” rather than by age.
“Graduation is momentous because it means children in this school are moving ahead despite all the adversities they confront,” he said.
Garrison was introduced to the needs in Haiti through his now 31-year-old son, who went there with his church group as a high school junior.
He initially stayed with a pastor in a house with electricity, then left to live where he was the only white person, and where he stayed for three months. “He loved it, as my wife and I did when we visited,” Garrison said.
Bernhard praised the Sunrise Rotary's contributions to the school “We should be proud of what he’s accomplished with Tree of Life,” Bernhard said of Garrison.

With BAUR Remote App, pin-pointing becomes a safer, more efficient and gentler process. Using BAUR Remote App for pin-pointing allows you to remotely control all essential functions of the titron surge voltage generator via your smartphone or tablet: Switching the surge voltage generator on and off Setting the surge voltage and the surge sequence (5 20 surges/min, single surge) Selecting the surge voltage range This way, you have the possibility of only switching on the high voltage when you reach the pre-located fault location. Once the fault has been located, the high voltage can be switched off again. Through this, the stress on the cable and the system is reduced to the necessary minimum and the level of safety is increased. Advantages Less stress on the cable Less wear and tear to the system due to significantly reduced operating time Increased level of safety for the testing personnel and the environment More efficient fault pin-pointing due to the monitoring and adjustment of voltage parameters directly on site during the pin-pointing processLocation and fault position at a glance The cable data of titron are transmitted to the Remote App and, in combination with the street map, are displayed in the app. This allows the operator always to have the latest information on the cable route (if available) pre-located fault position location of the cable test van Monitoring and adjusting the measurement parameters during the fault location In the fault location mode, the operator always has an overview of the most important measurement parameters: High voltage status Output voltage, max. permissible voltage Surge sequence, surge energy, duration of the measurement SSG capacitor charge and discharge curve Please note that your titron system must be set up for remote control.

Reviews for the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620
The Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 is barely a year old, but the newer Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 brings enough changes both inside and out that performance hunters and even content creators may want to take notice.
Source: PC Mag
The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus is an appealing laptop in most aspects. It's reasonably priced, relatively portable, and mostly well put together, with solid performance and battery life. The screen is its biggest shortcoming, though more disappointing than outright poor. Otherwise, it checks most boxes for general users and can handle moderate workloads for creative pros. Though competent across the board, the Inspiron isn't a standout. That's a soft negative, mainly centered on the display and a build that feels less premium than that of some competitors in the same price ballpark. But if you're concerned with functionality first, especially with a combination of a big screen and good battery life, this is a capable big-screen choice for general use.

General Motors' Asian unit has reached a tentative agreement with labor union representatives on base pay, bonuses.
GM Korea and labor representatives reached a tentative agreement on Monday that will see concessions on base pay, bonuses, and benefits, pending a ratification vote this week. The agreement is the first step in an attempt to keep open the remaining three factories in the country and turn around the beleaguered automaker after GM announced in February it would close its Gunsan plant and lay off 2,600 workers. The company canceled a scheduled vote on whether to file for bankruptcy for Monday after the agreement was reached.
“Through the latest agreement, GM Korea will be a competitive manufacturing company,” Kaher Kazem, chief executive of GM Korea, said in a statement that was translated by Reuters. GM Korea can now focus on securing $500 million in emergency funding from the South Korean government to continue operatiions and pay employees. In a statement, the company said the labor agreement would pave the way for the Korea Development Bank, GM Korea's second-largest shareholder at 17 percent, to provide support. The company also plans to allocate two additional models to South Korean plants to boost production volumes. Without support, some 150,000 jobs are at risk in the Asian country.
Still, a GM Korea turnaround is still not assured. The unit's specialty is in producing small cars for domestic and global markets, but a swing toward SUVs and crossovers has made GM Korea's wares less desirable. An earlier decision by GM to end the Chevrolet brand in Europe also hobbled demand of GM Korea's vehicles. Last year, the unit lost a total of $1.1 billion. A funding agreement between GM Korea and the Korean Development Bank could come as soon as April 27th. Labor unrest boiled over earlier this month, culminating in workers ransacking the office of GM Korea's CEO after it was announced bonuses would be canceled.

“Klotho is a single-pass transmembrane protein that exerts its biological functions through multiple modes. Membrane-bound Klotho acts as coreceptor for the major phosphatonin fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), while soluble Klotho functions as an endocrine substance. In addition to in the distal nephron where it is abundantly expressed, Klotho is present in the proximal tubule lumen where it inhibits renal Pi excretion by modulating Na-coupled Pi transporters via enzymatic glycan modification of the transporter proteins – an effect completely independent of its role as the FGF23 coreceptor. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are states PLX3397 mouse of systemic Klotho deficiency, making Klotho a very sensitive
biomarker of impaired renal function. In addition to its role as a marker, Klotho also plays pathogenic roles in renal disease. Klotho deficiency exacerbates decreases in, while Klotho repletion or excess preserves, glomerular filtration rate in both AKI and CKD. Soft

Klotho protects against soft tissue calcification via at least 3 mechanisms: phosphaturia, preservation of renal function and a direct effect on vascular smooth muscle cells by inhibiting phosphate uptake and dedifferentiation. In summary, Klotho is a critical molecule in a wide variety of renal diseases and bears great potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker as well as for therapeutic replacement therapy.”

WALTERBORO, SC (WCSC) - Deputies in Colleton County arrested a man Wednesday after responding to more reports of gunfire in the town of Walterboro.
Just before noon, deputies responded to the intersection of Francis and Savage Streets where they found a subject fleeing the area with a handgun.
No one was injured and the gun was seized by the deputies. The suspect was arrested and charged with the unlawful possession of a firearm.
Deputies are still investigating the incident and have not yet determined whether Wednesday's shooting was related to shootings last week that left three dead and eight injured.
Any information in reference to this incident or any of the recent shootings should be sent to the Colleton County Sheriff's Office.

The number of cyclospora cases continues to rise in North Texas and across the state.
The Texas Department of Health Services now reports 110 confirmed cyclospora cases in the state.
Dallas County is reporting a quarter of the cases in the entire state. It now has 27, after 10 more were confirmed Tuesday. Tarrant County continues to have 13 cases, but health officials there expect to see more.
While the cases continue to climb, the search for the cause goes on as well. Tarrant County Public Health said the exact cause of this summer's outbreak is far from being determined, but it's still likely from an imported food that was contaminated in the field or in a factory.
"A lot of these are complex foods. It may be an item that gets associated and put in with other items and you can't tease it out, which one is it?" said Russell Jones, TCPH's chief epidemiologist. "But as we get more cases, we'll get closer to getting an idea as to what the problem is."
Jones told the Tarrant County Commissioners Court on Tuesday that, like last year, North Texas is once again the center of the outbreak.
"That's probably due to distribution channels that we don't understand at this point," Jones said.
Last year, the state saw 351 total cases and, as of Tuesday, had 110 cases in 2014. In previous years, there may have only been single or double digits.
While health departments continue to track the spread and the source, they also say the best way to prevent the parasite is to simply wash everything before eating it, even if you think it's already been cleaned.
And while only 13 cases are listed in Tarrant County, it's likely far more people have actually gotten sick.
"You figure there's quite a few more for every case we get," Jones said.
Jones said people either don't go to doctors or get treated clinically and are never tested for the parasite.

Hello,Our mornings lately look similar, very foggy. Take care, have a great day!
Great to be safely berthed during such weather.
...looking out my window this morning, it looks like that, minus the harbor.
Clear skies here...a huge moon last night. The fog looks very thick there!Cool shot, Bill!hugsDonna
We've been pretty foggy here lately too...almost all my drive from Tampa to NC had either mist or fog.
That seems to be the weather in many places this year. It has been like that all week here, Bill.
It looks cold and foggy out there.
I like that touch of mist.
We had grim fog on Christmas day. Much prettier on the harbor than than the highway!
Really shows up that red border, or whatever it is called! It was foggy here this morning too, damp and gray.
Very nice. A foggy harbor has a personality mood all its own. I like the bit of chill and damp in the air on those mornings, hot coffee, a flash of flask, and a nice think.
There are red barriers in the front of the photo and the rest is gray. Nice shot.
I miss foggy mornings.
A haunting image, Bill. Love it!
Foggy or not, it's a beautiful photo!
Looks like a really foggy morning!
Those foggy mornings, so special, so magical, I love them.Happy new year.Best regards.
O my, it's really foggy, but kinda beautiful too.
Buena niebla que impide la visión del puerto, tan sólo los rojos resaltan, por su llamativo color.Un abrazo.
Looks like a very cold wintery day.
Oh it is foggy. We don't get much fog here in Vegas.
I spent almost 4 years in the bay area of California, San Francisco Bay. So I got friendly with fog. They call it karl there. Your fog is somehow different and somehow very irish and very lovely. Thank you for sharing my friend. I am wishing you a brilliant here ahead. Aloha
Lovely harbor in the fog photo that has a somber mood.
Boa tarde. Obrigado pelas visitas, carinhos e comentários. Aproveito, para desejar um feliz 2024, com muita paz e saúde. Parece que está muito frio nesse porto.
That is surely a lot of pouring rain
A nice foggy photograph.All the best Jan
The red stands out on a foggy morning.
Linda foto. Te mando un beso.
Foggy, misty mornings look lonely to me, but make beautiful pictures...just the opposite from the bright ice cream shop in your last post.
Looks its fog time
Very foggy indeed!
A foggy time and it does look nice..

Education Leaders Applaud Hassan-Durbin PROTECT Students Act
WASHINGTON – In case you missed it, Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, and Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Democratic Whip, this week introduced the PROTECT Students Act, comprehensive legislation to protect students and taxpayers from predatory higher education practices. The bill will help safeguard students, including servicemembers and veterans, and taxpayers from predatory and anti-student higher education practices and ensure that higher education meets the needs of hard-working students.
The legislation is endorsed by The Institute for College Access & Success (TICAS), Center for American Progress (CAP), Leadership Conference on Civil & Human Rights, New America Higher Education Initiative, The Center for Responsible Lending, Generation Progress, National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), Third Way, The Education Trust, Young Invincibles, Veterans Education Success (VES), National Consumer Law Center (on behalf of its low-income clients), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Education Association (NEA), The Century Foundation, and National Student Legal Defense Network (NSLDN).
See below for statements from education leaders in support of the PROTECT Students Act:
The PROTECT Students Act includes a sweeping set of protections for students and taxpayers against predatory and low-quality colleges. Whether they paid filet mignon prices for hamburger educations or were cheated by predatory colleges, too many students seeking a better life are left with unaffordable debts and no path to the middle class. We commend Senators Hassan and Durbin for introducing this essential legislation to curb waste, fraud, and abuse by unscrupulous schools at student and taxpayer expense.
[…] Sweeping new legislation proposed today by Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) wants to ensure that the federal government does its job standing up for students. The PROTECT Students Act, includes a host of changes designed to strengthen basic consumer protections for students—such as codifying key regulations into federal law—while closing loopholes in accountability measures and improving federal oversight of risky schools.
[…] The PROTECT Students Act would help hold colleges accountable and put in place basic consumer protections to ensure that student and taxpayer money is well spent. As Congress negotiates the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, legislators should seek to increase college accountability and ensure quality in higher education. […]
To read the full statement, click here.
Thank you, @SenatorHassan and @SenatorDurbin, for introducing the #PROTECTstudents Act to protect vulnerable student populations from predatory for-profit institutions.
The #PROTECTstudents Act would ensure career-education programs prepare graduates for well-paying jobs, close a loophole that's caused #4profit colleges to target servicemembers and veterans, and strengthen protections for borrowers. #hea #highered @SenatorHassan @SenatorDurbin
CRL applauds Sens. Hassan and Durbin for introducing this bill to protect students from predatory, for-profit institutions that grant subpar degrees at high cost, often affecting low-income students the most. With Secretary DeVos and the Trump Administration teaming up to drastically reduce funding for higher education programs and propose tax cuts for for-profit institutions for the upcoming fiscal year, CRL is pleased to see a bill that strengthens the Gainful Employment rule among its many important provisions.
Earlier this month, thousands of students were abandoned when Argosy University closed its doors, and in December, Education Corporation of America shuttered multiple schools, leaving students with few options to continue their education. This follows a long pattern of abuse from an industry that is unchecked, underregulated, and directly preying on some of the most marginalized communities. The PROTECT Students Act is a key piece of legislation that would not only bring relief to current students impacted by unfair and shady practices, but also prevent the for-profit college industry from repeating these abuses in the future. The bill would codify Department of Education rules that Secretary DeVos has tried to roll back, like gainful employment and borrower defense; close the GI Bill loophole that allows schools to enrich themselves on the backs of America’s veterans; and boost oversight. In short, the PROTECT Students Act offers commonsense and basic consumer protections for students. We commend Sen. Hassan and Sen. Durbin for offering relief to cheated students and fighting against the abuse and misrepresentation from for-profit colleges. We look forward to Congress debating this bill as a standalone piece of legislation, or as part of the Higher Education Act reauthorization.
This is an important piece of legislation. For far too long, unscrupulous colleges have preyed on students and taxpayers, at a cost of billions of dollars. These funds could and should be used to help students attend a college that will improve their lives. NACAC urges Congress to include these provisions when it reauthorizes the Higher Education Act.
We believe students deserve a return on their investment in higher education, and taxpayers do too for the billions of dollars they spend every year. Too many students who enroll in college never get the degree they seek, leaving them with debt but no degree to show for it. And predatory institutions rake in millions in federal student aid dollars and leave students worse off than they were when they enrolled. Our lack of commitment to quality assurance in higher ed has directly led to school closures like ITT, Corinthian, and now Argosy, which leave students suddenly in a lurch with debt, no degree, and no path forward.
That’s why Congress must step up and pass the PROTECT Students Act. This bill would solidify protections for students and taxpayers, taking a big step in the right direction towards holding institutions and programs accountable for delivering on what they advertise. This package of consumer protection policies would put in place some sorely needed guardrails to ensure that students aren’t defrauded and taxpayers aren’t left footing the bill when an institution fails to do its job.
YI is supportive of the PROTECT Act. It contains a series of common sense reforms to improve consumer protections for students. As hundreds of thousands of students remain at risk from predatory for-profit colleges, proposals like the PROTECT Act can safeguard students against unscrupulous practices of, and poor quality educations provided by, unethical and ineffective for-profit colleges. We look forward to this proposal gaining support in Congress and being included in any HEA reauthorization proposal.
We applaud Senator Hassan for introducing comprehensive legislation called the PROTECT Students Act of 2019 that would address the challenges military-affiliated students face. This bill would strengthen the minimum college quality standards at the Education Department, remove the target from the backs of veterans by predatory colleges, and preserve important student protections. We look forward to working with Congress on a comprehensive bipartisan higher education reauthorization that protects the integrity of federal education benefit programs like the GI Bill and provides a return on investment for taxpayer dollars.
I’m so glad that Sen. Hassan and Sen. Durbin have introduced a bill to #PROTECTstudents from predatory for-profit colleges.
[…] The complicated nature of the Dream Center case has heightened scrutiny on the DeVos administration’s deregulation agenda. And policymakers are now making good on that scrutiny: today, Senators Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced legislation that will protect students and taxpayers from facing another Argosy or Art Institute debacle.
Hassan and Durbin’s bill, known as the Preventing Risky Operations from Threatening the Education and Career Trajectories (PROTECT) of Students Act of 2019, proposes a bold step toward ensuring that student protections are at the forefront of any new higher education legislation, and chiefly in any comprehensive renewal of the Higher Education Act. The PROTECT Students Act proposes sweeping measures to add key student protections to the existing accountability framework for colleges and universities, with a necessary focus on for-profit colleges.

We thank Senators Durbin and Hassan for their leadership in bringing these important issues to the forefront. The PROTECT Students Act would be a huge step forward in holding schools accountable and ensuring that students receive the quality educations they deserve. It would help prevent veterans and servicemembers from being targeted by predatory for-profit schools, would ensure that career colleges set up their students for success, and would give student borrowers harmed by fraud and abuse the power to enforce their rights under the Higher Education Act.

As a language model AI, I do not have personal opinions and cannot provide them. However, I can summarize the content for you. A new study has found that individuals with depression have less active microglial cells in the grey matter of the brain. Previous theories suggested that inflammation in the brain may be associated with depression; however, this study suggests suppressed immunity may play a role. The study offers new insight into the pathophysiology of depression and potential targets for future treatments. The next step is to investigate the consequences of inactive microglia and the effect of making them more active again.

I have been teaching private lessons for 15 years. I taught mostly beginning students in 5th grade and then continued with them as they progressed through high school. I also have taught adult students who were new or returning to the cello. In addition to private cello lessons, I also direct an after school string orchestra comprised of all beginning students. The students play violin, viola, and cello. I have also coached ensembles and sectionals for middle school and high school string orchestra students. I love music and I have found my calling to be teaching others to also love and appreciate music. I enjoy working with students of all ages and levels to find ways to help them learn and enjoy playing music.

STEAM-STAMP. Application of Charles W. Tremain filed June 19, 1891, No. 396,861. Patent granted Edward W. Curtiss March 31, 1891, No. 449,208.
Mr. T. J. W. Robertson for Tremain.
Mr. Henry A. Seymour for Curtiss. SEYMOUR, Commissioner:
This is an appeal taken by Tremain from the decision of the Examiners. in Chicf awarding priority of invention to Curtiss upon the following issue:
1. lu a ntoum-engine, the combination, with two cylinders, of a piston in each cyl. iuder, a vulve for each cylinder, a walking-beam or rock.shaft connecting said valves, and ports for admitting steam between the heads of the valve-chambers and the adjacent ends of the valves for actuating the latter in one direction, substantially as set forth.
2. lo a steam-engine, the combination, with two cylinders and pistons therein, of a valve-chest for each oylinder, a piston-valve in each valve-cbost, each piston valve having two annular grooves, a rock-shaft connecting said piston-valves, and steamports for admitting steam to the valve-chests near oneond of the latter for actuating the valves in one direction, substantially as set forth.
3. In & steam-engine, the combination, with two cylinders and pistons therein, of a valve-chest for each cylinder, two pipes connecting said valve-chests, an inlet pipe cominunicating with one of said connecting-pipes and an exhaust-pipe communicating with tho other counectiug-pipe, valves in said valve chests, and a rock-shaft connecting said valves, substantially as set forth.
4. In a steam-engine, the combination, with two cylinders and pistons, of a valve. chest for each cylinder, said cylinders being provided with ducts connecting the ends of the cylinders with the valve-chests, and each cylindor being provided with a duct adapted to connect the cylinders and valve-chests in proximity to the upper enıls of the latter, and piston-valves in said valve-chests, substantially as set forth.
5. In a steam-engive, the combination, with two cylinders and pistons therein, of valve-chests for said cylinders, piston-valves in said valve-obests, a link connected to each valve, and a rock-shaft pivoted at its center and connocted at its ends to siid links, substantially as set forth.
6. In a steam-engine, the combination with two cylinders and pistons therein, of a valve-chest for each cylinder, each valve-chest being provided with annular reresses, pipes convecting said valve-chests and communicating with said rocesses, a piston-valve iu each valve-chest, a rock-shaft connecting sa id piston-valves, and steam-ports for admitting steam to the valve-chests near one end of the latter for actuating the valves in one direction, substantially as set forth.
Upon the suggestion of Tremain, Curtiss became connected with the Prospective Mining and Machinery Company about November, 1889. In January, 1890, he was elected one of its directors, and soon after. ward its secretary and treasurer. He was by profession a mechanical engineer, but was not practicing his profession, but was acting as a real-estate agent in Portland, Oreg., for a short time prior to his con. nection with the company.
Tremain, who was by profession an engineer, was at this time presi. dent of the company. The company had before that time made single stamp-mills; but Tremain was engaged in devising a double stampmill, for which all parties were seeking an effective valve-motion.
At the time when Curtiss became connected with the company the valves—one upon each cylinder-vere mechanically connected, and were operated by means of cams or eccentrics upon a shaft which was intended to be driven by a small steam-engine working independently of the pistons of the stamp-mill. In the experimental stages this eccentric-shaft was driven by a belt from the main shaft of the machine. shop. All the experiments of both parties were conducted in the same shop and were embodied in the same machines, the first containing the complete device being that set up for the Albany Milling and Mining Company, in Linn county, Oreg., and this was put into successful operation on the 2d day of October, 1890. The first advance over the eccentric-shaft device for moving the valves was upon the suggestion
of Curtiss, about February 18, 1890, and consisted in connecting the two valves by a walking-beam. This in itself is a very old device. Any one might incorporate it in a combination, and the combination would not on that account become patentable, unless the combination were new and the elements of it interacted in the manner set fortlı in Bates v. Coe, (C. D., 1879, 365; 15 0. G., 337; 98 U. S., 31.)
Counts 3 and 5 of the issue show the walking-beam connecting the valves in combination with the two cylinders of a double-cylinder stamp. mill; but it should be noticed that each of those counts lacks a device for operating the valves. If the combination described in either of those counts were constructel, the admission of steam would do nothing more than to raise one of the pistons. Neither of those counts, therefore, should have been incorporated in the issue, for a stamp-mill constructed in accordance with either would not and could not deliver a single blow. It is of no consequence, therefore, who was first to conceive of the combination of counts 3 and 5 or of any element in either.
In this respect issues 3 and 5 are to be distinguished from the claims in the patents discussed in Webster Loom Company v. Higgins, (O. D., 1882, 285; 21 O. G., 2031; 105 U. S., 580, 585 and 586,) for the essence of the improvement in this interference is the mode of connection with the principal machine—that is to say, it is the means by which the valves may be thrown.
It was then attempted to work the valves thus connected by a walk. ing-beam by a device operated inechanically by collars upon the pistou. rods of the stamps. Both parties devoted themselves to the solution of the problem by such means during the months of June, July, and August, 1890.
About the middle of September, 1890, a double stamp-mill with this mechanical valve motion was completed and shipped to the Albany Milling and Mining Company's mine in Linn county, Oreg., which Tre. main, on the 22d of September, went thither to set up. Before going he disclosed to D. J. McMaster his proposed means for operating the valves by the duct mentioned in all the counts of the issue but the third and fifth. On the same occasion he borrowed from McMaster a ratchet-drill for the purpose, as he says, of drilling this duct through the walls of the cylinder and the steam-chest at the mine. The duct was drilled at the mine under Tremain's direction, and the machine put into successful operation, as aforesaid, by the 2d of October, 1890, and the mechanical device connected with the pistons for moving the valves was discarded.
Curtiss was not present at the Albany Jilling and Mining Company's establishment at any of these times; nor is there any suggestion in the record that the making of this duct, or the suggestion that it should be made, was in any manner connected with him.
At a meeting of the directors of the Prospective Mining and Machinery Company, on December 6, 1890, at which both parties and
Ja be made of the direcher 6, 1890, ?
others were present, this being the first meeting of the directors since Tremain's return from the Albany Milling and Mining Company's works at which Tremain was present, Tremain exhibited drawings showing the invention in all its parts, which Curtiss recognized as embodying all that he claims in this interference issue. Curtiss laid no claim to the invention at that meeting, although without the knowledge of Tremain his application for a patent upon it had been signed and sworn to and was on its way to the Patent Office.
It is clear that Tremain had a definite conception of the invention by the 22d of September, and that by reason of his disclosure to McMas. ter he could avail himself of a date of conception as early as Sep. tember 15.
Curtiss made sketches embodying this complete invention on or before October 4, 1890, which are made part of this record as Exhibits E', E, and El. On that date copies of these drawings were inclosed in a letter to his attorney in Washington. The sketches and letter sent to his attorney are not made parts of the record; but the manu. script first draft of the letter, unsigned, and sketches, not dated, were annexed to Curtiss's deposition, which was taken without the presence of counsel on either side. The sketches in the record do not appear to have been shown to any one until they were produced in evidence. The letter actually sent to the attorney and the sketches inclosed to him are not introduced and no reference was made to them in the record or in the briefs.
If priority could be awarded to Curtiss on this record it must be solely upon the strength of these sketches and Curtiss's statement that he made them in June or July, 1890. On this point there is no corrob. oration. Turning to the sketches themselves, it appears that one of them is made upon a piece of paper from which two pieces have been cut, either before or after the making of the sketch upon it. I am inclined to think that the drawing was put upon the paper first and the cuttings made afterward, since the paper conforms somewhat to the shape of the drawing put upon it. Exhibit E3 has also been cut after something was put upon it, for two words which occur in the record as descriptive of this device are cut in two, as well as erased. The construction to be given to mutilated papers in the absence of explanation would bear heavily against the party offering them without explanation; but if Curtiss had these papers in his possession and had recently made the sketches when he exhibited a chalk drawing on a board to George Rae it is singular that Curtiss made no reference to such completed sketches on that occasion. It is equally singular that with this full conception of the improvement and with the drawings complete Curtiss continued, as he certainly did continue, through August and the early part of September his efforts to solve a useless problem and to experiment with the mechanical device for moving the valves without making disclosures to any person of the contents of
10093 PAT- 3
those sketches, for the language used in the Rae and Marlitt conversations cannot be considered in any sense a disclosure of definite means for accomplishing any result. By a rule of practice Curtiss is entitled to December 11, 1890, as the date of constructive reduction to practice. He never actually reduced his invention to practice and is in conflict with an inventor who did. The attempt is made to carry back the date of constructive reduction to practice to the date of the application and to the date of the disclosure of the invention to the attorney in such definite form that the application and drawings were prepared from it; but these transactions are nevertheless mere disclosures; nothing more. None of them anticipates the actual machine in successful operation on the 20 of October under Tremain's personal direction. There is nothing on Curtiss's part but his own allegation to show that sketches were in existence earlier than this, and he is without the corroboration on this point of a single witness or a single circumstance. The conduct of Curtiss is against this hypothesis.
The combination, all the elements being old, must be considered as a whole. There is no such thing as joint invention here by reason of the snggestion to make use of the walking-beam, for the obvious reason that the walking-beam is old.
Under all the circumstances of this case I cannot give Curtiss the benefit of an earlier date of conception than that when the undated sketches were mailed to his attorney, October 4, 1890.
The decision of the Examiners-in-Chief is reversed and judgment of priority is awarded to Tremain.
