Murder by dog: Owners liable for violent pets
What do a gun, a knife, and a vicious dog have in common? They can all get you charged with murder.
Just ask Marjorie Knoller, the lawyer convicted of second-degree murder and other charges last year by a California jury in the fatal mauling of a neighbor by two large guard dogs in her care.
Although the judge later set aside the most serious verdicts against Knoller, she learned the hard way that owning killer dogs can lead to jail time. Her husband was also convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of neighbor Diane Whipple, 33, a college lacrosse coach.
Other dog owners have also learned that owning killer dogs can lead to murder and manslaughter charges.
A Kansas woman was convicted of murder after her two Rottweilers escaped from her yard and attacked and killed an 11-year-old boy. The woman was home sleeping when her dogs, "Max" and "Maxine," mauled the boy to death.
Don't worry; if your pooch suddenly turns into "Cujo" and kills everyone on your block, you won't spend the rest of your life in jail. Under the law, a person is criminally liable for a death caused by his dog only if that person fails to act properly when circumstances indicate that his dangerous dog is likely to hurt someone.
In the Kansas case, the defendant raised the dogs as attack dogs through "Schutzhund" techniques, where a dog is taught to bite a padded sleeve until commanded to stop. But she didn't accompany the techniques with the necessary obedience training. She then kept the dogs in her backyard where they were regularly able to escape through a defective gate. The jury found that the defendant's conduct amounted to a depraved indifference to the value of human life, warranting a murder conviction.
The jury could have convicted her of the lesser offense of involuntary manslaughter, which usually requires only reckless disregard of a known risk of injury or death, resulting in death. This isn't as bad as conduct indicating a depraved indifference to the value of human life. But the jury found that the absurdity of the defendant's conduct warranted a murder conviction.
In other cases where prosecutors have opted to charge defendant dog owners with involuntary manslaughter for deaths caused by their dogs, juries have been willing to convict.
In North Carolina, a man was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to five years in jail after his Rottweilers, "Bruno" and "Woody," escaped from his yard and mauled a jogger to death on a public roadway. The conviction was based on the defendant's knowledge of his dogs' "aggressive" behavior, coupled with his violation of a local law requiring adequate fencing for animals.
In Georgia, a man was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after his three pit bulls escaped from his property and killed a child. The conviction was based on his reckless failure to contain animals he knew to be dangerous in an area heavily populated with small children.
If a prosecutor feels that he can't prove that the defendant actually knew of the danger his killer dog posed to others, he can charge a defendant with the lesser offense of criminally negligent homicide. This requires proof only that a defendant should have known that his dog posed a risk of serious injury or death, and his failure to safeguard the public from the dog was highly unreasonable under the circumstances.
A Tennessee man was convicted of this charge and sentenced to one year in jail when his Rottweilers escaped through a hole in his fence and mauled an elderly neighbor to death. The jury found that the defendant's failure to realize how dangerous his dogs were, coupled with his failure to repair the fence, and the resulting death, constituted criminally negligent homicide.
Like guns or knives, dogs can kill and land irresponsible dog owners in jail. While the owners of the canine killers in the San Francisco case may escape criminal liability, chances are, if your dangerous dog kills, you won't be so lucky.

Baby & Co.
Party Recap
Each element of this Baby & Co. memorable baby shower included all of the mother-to-be's favorite baby trends- crib shoes, a cute onesie and headband, and a fabulous color scheme. The shower was inspired by the adorable giraffe & tiffany crib shoes designed by [email protected] I then found a giraffe ribbon onesie with matching headband from [email protected] We wanted to keep the shower small and intimate so we designed everything so that the guest would remember the day.
For the lunch-to-go station, I found a wonderful stand at the local Goodwill. This area was designated for guest to sip, snack, and mingle! Then, for the dessert table we used real Tiffany & Co. items which we already had- boxes, bags, and glasses cases. We incorporated the wonderful Sweet Petit desserts, which were amazing items to add into the décor. My team went to work wrapping boxes while I handmade the French macaron tower and chocolate dipped pretzel favor bags.
The most memorable detail of the shower was the gift and thank you station. Our client is in love with nature so we used the natural elements of the backyard as a part of the décor- the garden with tree stump and stone benches as the seating for the guest to relax. The custom made diaper cake stole the spotlight with its intricate design and accessories made by my fabulous team at Something Chic Party and Event Design. It was a pleasure working with our client and vendors on this project.

Here is the prompt I got-
The code below shows some of the text for a class called City. As you can see, a City has two instance variables, name and population. Write a complete public constructor (including header line) with no parameters, which sets the population to an initial value of -1, and the name to an initial value of "unknown".
public class City { private String name; private int population;
thats all i know haha

but i can still not put the queue from down to right side.. like it is in itunes or mediamonkey or even windows media playercan you explain how to do that
now the only thing i miss is a button or a menu to change the queue options or to change the weighted order preferencesis it there somewhere and i am not able to find it?
although there is one small issue, if i try to edit the star rating from the currently playing song (HB current track box), it acts clumsy. however right click and set rating works without problem.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — After years of failed promises, missed payments and legal battles, the site of a stalled ice hockey arena project in Lakewood Ranch has a new owner.
During a foreclosure sale April 21 at the Annex of the new Manatee County Courthouse, Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch was granted ownership of the 60-acre site on Center Ice Parkway.
After representatives for Walbridge Aldinger, the company hired to construct the arena, failed to attend the sale, SMR bid $100 on the property and within a matter of minutes, the deal was done.
"It has been a long time coming, and we're looking forward to moving on with the project," said Dan Perka, general council for SMR.
However, while ownership has formally been changed to SMR with the court expected to issue a title in the next 10 days, the ongoing saga over the failed hockey arena may not be over.
Walbridge Aldinger recently filed an appeal against a summary judgment issued by Circuit Judge Paul E. Logan last year, which first gave SMR permission to hold a foreclosure sale on the arena.
On April 28, representatives for Walbridge Aldinger are expected to appear before the Second District Court of Appeals in Lakeland in an attempt to reverse the judge's ruling stating that DVA Arena owner Sal Diaz-Verson, who first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2008, committed fraud. Walbridge Aldinger contends that dispute should have gone to trial.
If Walbridge-Aldinger were to win its appeal, then a trial would be held, Perka said. However, if their appeal were to be denied, then SMR would retain its current ownership. Plans for the future of the arena haven't been finalized yet.
SMR is expected to resume conversations with developers who have previously expressed interest in the project, but it could be several months before a deal could be reached.
In the meantime, the partially constructed hockey arena will remain in tact. Despite previous reports, SMR officials have not determined whether the structure would need to be torn down. Although SMR hasn't done any preliminary cost estimates, Perka said it shouldn't be expensive to demolish the concrete.
"That remains to be determined, but it's a good possibility due to the changes in building code," Perka said of demolishing the structure. "It will remain certainly for the near future (though) because there is no reason for us to rush in and tear it down."
Construction on the stalled hockey and entertainment arena began in early 2005, but work ceased after Walbridge Aldinger did not receive payments. Landmark Bank filed a claim to foreclose on the property in February 2006. SMR assumed the property in March of that year but had been unable to foreclose because DVA twice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Former DVA Arena partners Chuck Madden and Larry Kish were on hand to witness the foreclosure sale, hoping to bring an end to years of failed promises by Diaz-Verson.
"It was neat — everybody was jumping at the idea because it was going to be something exciting and fun," Madden said. "It's unfortunate … it's like a funeral to some extent, but it'll still be a great project if someone takes it and goes forward with it."

A little spicy, a little sweet. These made a simple early-fall Sunday supper, with grits and a Waldorf salad with apples and pears.
The original recipe called for skinless, boneless chicken thighs. And you can certainly go that way. But whole chicken thighs taste so much better.
Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs
Adapted from Cooking Light, September 2010 issue
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 chicken thighs (see note)
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
Preheat the broiler. (To really get a burst of heat in an electric oven, I usually preheat the oven to 500 degrees, then switch to the broiler setting when the food is ready to go in.)
Combine the garlic powder, chili powder, salt, cumin, paprika and red pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray. Place the chicken in the pan skin-down. Broil 6 to 7 minutes. Turn with tongs and broil 6 to 7 minutes longer.
Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl while thighs are broiling. Remove chicken from oven and turn chicken skin-down. Brush with about half the honey mixture. Return to oven and broil 2 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, turn pieces skin up and brush with the remaining honey mixture. Return to oven and broil 1 to 2 minutes, until browned but not burned.
Yield: 4 servings.
NOTE: If you use skinless, boneless chicken thighs, broil 5 minutes per side and 1 minute per side after brushing with honey glaze.

Bourjos inching closer to resuming baseball activities
ANAHEIM -- Peter Bourjos' fractured right wrist still hasn't allowed him to swing a bat, but he could progress to that point in a few days, and the center fielder remains hopeful of returning for the Angels by late July or early August.
Bourjos, confined to playing catch while rehabbing in Arizona last week, recently had an X-ray that revealed his wrist hadn't fully healed yet. He'll get a follow-up on Friday and hopes to be cleared for dry swings -- using a bat without making contact with the baseball -- as soon as this weekend.
Bourjos, 26, has a .333/.392/.457 slash line on the season but has been limited to 40 games. He missed six weeks with a strained left hamstring from April 29 to June 10, was out of the starting lineup for nearly a week after jamming his left thumb, then, in his return against the Astros on June 29, he took a fastball from Jordan Lyles on his right wrist, forcing a return to the disabled list.
Despite the setback, Bourjos is still in line with the original timetable: Two to three weeks for the fracture to fully heal, and then however long it takes to get back up to speed.
"Obviously, I'm still sore, just like with range-of-motion stuff," Bourjos said prior to Thursday's voluntary workout at Angel Stadium. "A week from now, it could be completely different to where I can start swinging and stuff."

The Crisper Whisperer: Zucchini and Corn Fritters Rule the World. For Reals Recipe
Cook through your crisper surplus with ease.
Note: If you're a CSA member or gardener, you're probably all too familiar with the phenomenon of having too much X, Y, or Z (zucchini seems to be the culprit right now). This post marks the debut of Carolyn Cope's Crisper Whisperer column in which the author helps us cook through the surplus with ease. Please join us in giving Carolyn a warm welcome! --AK
Look, I love my CSA as much as the next girl. In fact, I run my CSA--so you might say I love it even a smidge more than most. Unadulterated local veg holds a special place in my heart for all the same reasons it probably does in yours. But have you noticed what your seemingly innocent produce has been up to recently? It's become an overnight success, that's what. And like any other fledgling celebrity, it's wreaking some havoc along the way.
Zucchini is the Brangelina of seasonal produce. It reproduces like mad and is inherently and unabashedly plural.
For the most part, your farm share has kept its knickers on and refrained from driving under the influence (although of course you do see the odd story of brandy-soaked peach flambés from time to time, and there's more after the break on why that zucchini is having babies with everyone in sight). No, your local veg's unbranded brand of mayhem is subtler than all that, but it's ultimately more destructive. Those plants have wrapped their sly little tendrils around the collective consciousness and brainwashed us all into near-total submission.
Think about it. When was the last time you heard a friend--intelligent, opinionated individuals though your friends undoubtedly are--dare utter a word against The Veg? It's become so altogether unhip to do so, you simply haven't heard it at all. Even when farmers' markets and CSA shares runneth over with fuzzy squash, New Zealand spinach, and salad burnet, everyone just smiles, nods and acts like they're about to go home and whip up the loveliest stir-fry you've ever tasted in five minutes flat. That's not normal, people--and more important, it's just not true.
The truth looks more like this.
A guiltily discarded turnip, left to decompose in the fridge through too many late nights at work, beats like a tell-tale heart under the floorboards of Apartment 6B's dreams. Three flights up, an otherwise reasonable 9E will look you straight in the eyes and say she used last week's share of horseradish in homemade cocktail sauce. Only after a few glasses of wine will she admit to having thrown it away. In your trash.
Over time, the stress of keeping up appearances will become too much for even the hardiest of souls. And that's when vegetable world domination will be complete.
Dolphins showed us years ago that you don't need opposable thumbs to rule the world, but I think the human race could be forgiven for assuming you needed a brain. Turns out, not so much. (Although I guess we could've learned that lesson from watching some prior stories of overnight celebrity as well.)
So. We've got to act now to regain control over our vegetables and ourselves. And act we will, one vegetable at a time. Right here, every Tuesday--typically a little lighter on the conspiracy theory and heavier on the easy recipes and helpful tips for enjoying your CSA and other seasonal bounty.
Although you've seen a lot of zucchini on this site in the past couple of weeks, no honest story of wresting control from the arms of summer abundance could start anywhere else and face itself in the morning. Zucchini is the Brangelina of seasonal produce. It reproduces like mad and is inherently and unabashedly plural.
When they borrowed the word from the Italian, English speakers wisely dispensed with the singular "zucchino," realizing they would never use it. There's no such thing as just one zucchini, see? Not anywhere. Not ever.
Luckily there is such a dinner (or a lunch, or, made small, a passed hors d'oeuvre) as Zucchini and Corn Fritters, which feel indulgent while pumping you full of nothing but summer goodness. They absorb a truly helpful amount of zucchini with minimal effort and time at the stove, especially if you have a food processor. All of which comes in handy when you're trying to save the world from death by fruiting.
Zucchini and Corn Fritters
- Rated:
- 4 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 2 ears corn
- 1 small onion, diced small
- 3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
- 3/4 cup flour
- A few good grinds of black pepper
- Canola, grapeseed or other neutral oil, for pan-frying
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater or with the shredding disc of a food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander in the sink or over a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to combine. Let drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and scramble lightly. Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and add the kernels to the bowl along with the diced onion, sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, flour and pepper.
Pick up the shredded zucchini in small handfuls and squeeze out and discard as much liquid as you can. Add the zucchini to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Pour the oil into a large frying pan to a depth of about 1/4-inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Drop large, heaping spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the pan to form disc-shaped fritters. Cook in batches without crowding (about 3 or 4 at a time, depending on the size of your pan) until golden brown on the underside (about 2 minutes) and then flip and cook until golden brown on the second side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Add a bit more oil between batches if necessary.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. The fritters should be crisp on the outside and slightly custardy on the inside.

She's got Kat class and she's got Kat style…
When it comes to the available selection of video games, pirate fans have really
gotten bent over ye olde keg o' rum, haven't we? When you consider the genre's
inherent flavor, heraldry, violence and general Ne'er Do-Well Quotient, you'd
think we'd be so awash in buttloads of buccaneering that the law of averages would
yield quite a few decent titles…and you'd be wrong.
Oh, we've had a few lucky breaks: Psygnosis' arcadish Shipwreckers!
was accessible and fun, but it was kinda goofy. The excellent Monkey
Island series had gameplay, atmosphere and style to burn, but it was also
really goofy, being a comedy game and all. The less said about many of the PC
offerings in the interim, the better.
decent pirate-themed games are still the exception rather than the rule. But
Westwood's Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat eases some of the pain, me
mateys, yaaarrrr.
In this hybrid land-sea action game, players take on the role of pirate-for-the-people
hottie Katarina de Leon, a redheaded swashbuckling beauty who has followed in
the footsteps of her mother (once a pirate herself). Seems that the Unreasonably
Evil Captain Hawke ™ and his band of Crimson Guard sea-droogies have been
systematically muscling the local islands one by one, and Katrina has devoted
her life to working up a one-woman resistance operation.
Okay, so you're playing a "good guy" (gal, actually), which perhaps takes away
part of the ideological fun of a pirate game. Still, Black Kat makes
up for it with a well-realized, free-roaming world and some intuitive ship combat
that rides the line between age-of-sail authenticity and good old-fashioned,
bone-headed arcade gameplay.
Commanding the ship The Wind Dancer (which can be continually resupplied
and upgraded throughout the course of the game from a lowly single-cannon sub-frigate
wave cutter to a buffed-up baddass galleon), Katrina's Caribbean Dayrunner is
just packed. Within one more-or-less seamless game engine, Katrina has much
to do in this game, including exploring secret islands on foot, battling enemy
vessels at sea, discovering buried treasure, fighting foes with blades, ranged
weapons and explosives, and running major as well as minor quests.
Legend of Black Kat is a busy little game control-wise, as every PS2 controller button and stick is used, with only the R1/R2 shoulders being redundant (cycling up/down through inventory). The L2 shoulder has a context-sensitive function, such as that used for digging up buried treasure when it is nearby, thanks to Katrina's Dual Shock Swashbuckling Spider-Sense. The rumbling feature will clue you in when buried booty is nearby, so after you clean out the local defenses, you can dig that stuff up. It's a really cool way of making the player feel his/her explorations and efforts actually amount to something – although it would have been cooler still in terms of replay if the caches in question were relocated from save to save. Oh well.
While Katrina's melee combat-control options are limited – a generic attack button, a shoulder-button block and jumps thrown in at the proper times – her sweeps and thrusts chain together nicely into an almost balletic flow that makes even your ham fisted button-mashing look like something out of a well-choreographed stage presentation. The true stuff of your combat skills is made of the judicious use of throwing knives, 'mini-keg' grenades and certain magical items, and knowing precisely when and how to use these implements to your advantage.
It's become an unofficial requirement that games today offer not only good
gameplay, but immersion in a complete, cohesive world. Legend of Black Kat's
best aspect by far is the world itself; if you can see it, you can probably
get to it and explore it/dig it up/kill it. The place is alive with great little
touches and details, too. Witness the rich, Caribbean sunsets, the footprints
and boot-slide marks Katrina leaves as she races along a beach or down a slope,
the groups of wandering, oversized mutant crabs that click and crawl about,
the shadows of clouds as they move across the sky, and the mast-bashing, sail-shredding
damage you can see as both the enemy vessels and yours get blown to bits.
As with a Zelda
game, most everything you see and hear has a function and is interrelated in
some way to the rest of the world. For example, if you're engaged in a sea-land
battle with a fortress on shore which you then defeat, you'll be able to seize
that fortress for your own use…or to find a treasure chest in the wreckage
when you finally make landfall.
The sea combat is half the game, and it's fulfilling yet simple at the same
time. Analog stick control allows you to both manipulate the camera and maneuver
the ship (happily, the wind is always going your way), while the shoulder buttons
cycle through inventory and weapon types. You can zoom way out and above to
get a parrot's-eye view of your vessel (and if the angle and 'time of day' are
right, get a nice glimpse of sunken wrecks through the shallower, crystal-clear
waters, a nice touch), while the directional buttons offer up instant first-person
views fore, aft, port and starboard.
While some special weapons can be found to allow forward firing, most of your
cannons are side-mounted, so a little basic naval strategy is in order. After
a little practice, you can use the zoomed-out view to get your bearings, line
up an attack run parallel to an enemy vessel's path, switch instantly to a portside
view in order to crank off broadside attacks, and then flip to an aft hull view
to watch the enemy burning and going down as your peel off to starboard in a
long circle. It's an elegant system, even when your first-person combat view
is cluttered with your own sagging masts as The Wind Dancer takes on
combat is also surprisingly swift and brutal, so you'll often be using up onboard
materials to repair damage on the fly. Either that, or you can pull into captured
fortresses to spend your seized pirate booty to buy larger craft, more guns,
and specialized ammo types such as sail-ripping Chain Shot, hull-burning Fire
Pots, or (my personal favorite) crew-gagging Stink Pots that temporarily stun
the enemy's deck hands with a flaming aromatic mixture of sulfur, Roquefort
cheese, unwashed socks and VHS copies of Godzilla. Probably.
While the game's main story mode isn't entirely linear, there's definitely a main, fuzzy-logic progression you'll probably make through the Five Seas replete with different island chains/environments. Exploring every last nook and cranny of every single island is not necessary, but the curious and tenacious will find their efforts rewarded with additional ill-gotten goods, major quests and minor side quests. Indeed, I would be remiss in my duties to my fellow gamers if I did not mention the flower-fetching junket for a scantily-clad, vain and possibly lesbian mermaid. And of course, the no-goodnick Captain Hawke must eventually be dealt with, along with a host of living and (un)dead foes.
What's the catch, then? Truth is, it may be that Black Kat's world
is simply a little too big, a roomy universe not quite filled with enough active
challenges for some impatient gamers. I personally found the game's smooth mechanics,
yo-ho storyline and smooth production values to be more than enough to carry
me, although some gamers may find they're doing the same cycles of exploration,
combat and upgrading again and again (I suspect these people simply aren't exploring
very efficiently).
For those gamers who simply want to blow stuff up, Pirates offers a
one- or two-player sea combat mode that gets right to the good stuff, offering
new battle maps for instant violence without the need for culling together a
fortune and buying upgrades one by one. It definitely has the feeling of an
"also-ran" mode, but it's a good one. And for you super-obsessive types, there's
a Scrapbook opened by progress through the game, offering game-concept artwork
(which in a shocking reversal of the natural order is actually good artwork,
that one might actually want to look at, as opposed to the lame-ass stick-figure
scribbling usually packed into games as a 'bonus' feature).
Any way you slice it, Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat offers a freewheeling
world, fuzzy-but-attractive graphics, overall elegant production values and
a main character you can root for, making it one of the best things to happen
to the pirate genre in a long time.

| 11.4°C Belfast
Election night drama can be expected after voters go to the polls on Thursday in 35 council contests that will be watched keenly just two years before David Cameron has to go to the country.
The eligible electorates of the 34 English top-tier counties and unitary authorities, plus the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, account for nearly 40% of the UK total. Nearly 10,000 candidates are battling for seats. After polls close at 10pm on Thursday, early results that should indicate how the parties are doing are expected to come from Staffordshire, East Sussex, Dorset, Hampshire and Lincolnshire.
Although some districts of Staffordshire will only be counting during the day on Friday, Cannock Chase, Tamworth and South Staffordshire are all declaring overnight, with results due around 1.30am on Friday. Labour currently has only three councillors at Tory-held Staffordshire County Council but that clearly understates its position as the party was in control there until the 2009 polls when the Tories benefited from discontent with Gordon Brown's government.
The early results may show whether Labour is on track to take the council back. The final outcome in Staffordshire is expected to be known late on Friday afternoon. In Tory-controlled East Sussex, Eastbourne and Hastings are counting overnight while other districts will do so during the day on Friday. Results from Eastbourne, expected around 1am on Friday, could indicate how the Liberal Democrats are going to fare against their Conservative coalition Government partners. The results from Hastings, due around 2am, should help show how well Labour is likely to do overall against the Tories. The final outcome for East Sussex is due before lunchtime on Friday.
Results are expected to start coming through from Tory-held Dorset and Hampshire from around 1.30am on Friday. These will be watched closely for indications of the likely fortunes of the Tories against their Lib Dem coalition partners, the size of any swing to Labour and the progress being made by Ukip.
The early Hampshire results should include Eastleigh, where Lib Dems held their seat and Ukip beat the Tories for second place in the recent parliamentary by-election. Ukip is fielding more than 1,700 candidates in the polls, only just behind Lib Dems. The first full council result is likely to come from Lincolnshire at around 2.30am on Friday. The Tories have had control of the council since 1997. Retaining it or losing it may act as a weathervane for the party's fortunes in what is likely to be a difficult night for the Conservatives.
News is also expected in the early hours of Friday from contests North and South of the Tyne - not in council polls but in the South Shields parliamentary by-election (expected declaration around 1.30am) and the North Tyneside mayoral election (perhaps 3am). The battle for the Labour stronghold of South Shields was triggered by former Cabinet Minister David Miliband's decision to step down as MP to become head of the International Rescue Committee in New York.
In North Tyneside, Tory incumbent Linda Arkley is fighting to retain the mayoralty against a strong challenge from Labour's Norma Redfearn. The only other candidate is Lib Dem John Appleby. Confirmation of the trends taking shape is likely to come with a flurry of full council results expected by around 4am - from Dorset, Essex, Hampshire and Somerset - followed within a couple of hours by Gloucestershire.
All are currently Conservative-controlled. In a Tory disaster scenario the party could lose its majorities on all of them. Lib Dems may stand a chance of victory in Somerset. Tory chiefs have stark memories of 1993 in the same part of the electoral cycle during their last term in government, when they were reduced to just one county council at Buckinghamshire. They may be saved from a repeat of such embarrassment only by the fact that Labour-leaning areas have been removed from some counties to become unitary authorities since then.
Friday morning will see a lull before full council results start coming from the remaining authorities. Keenly awaited results include: Lancashire, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire, where Labour is fighting to take control from Tories; Cumbria, Derbyshire and Northumberland, where Labour is aiming to win the councils from no overall control, and Cornwall, where Tories are currently the largest party but short of an overall majority. In addition, Conservative control may be threatened in Northamptonshire after Labour's landslide parliamentary by-election triumph at Corby in November. A result is also due on Friday afternoon in Doncaster's mayoral poll.

IllFonic's remake of Nexuiz for console gamers features a new Victorian influenced art style that is simultaneously futuristic and sophisticated.
For centuries the Kavussari and Forsellians have waged a galactic war. Over time the two races entered into treaties with the Herald Accord, a union between different cultures in the galaxy. Even though peace settled across their planets, the seething hatred between the races kept the fire of war simmering under the fragile truce. Sensing their newest members could spread war throughout the galaxy; the Herald Accord gave the Kavussari and Forsellians a choice. Pit their warriors against each other in the arena rather than on the fields of war, or face total annihilation. The Nexuiz was formed, a series of battle arenas on the home planets of the Kavussari, Forsellian and the ruined planet of Atavirta.
Nexuiz is a fast paced Arena first-person shooter with extremely competitive game play made specifically for consoles. The game will feature a mutator system that allows players to change the rules of the match; as players rank, new mutators become available for them to use. Leader boards are designed for social networking, letting players feel more engaged with the community.
Nexuiz features a heavyweight soundtrack from artists including Flying Lotus, Dam Funk and Trisector. On launch Nexuiz will feature multiplayer modes including Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. New games modes, models, and maps will be available as downloadable content post release.

If you go to only one place in France, make sure its Disneyland Paris.
Because you'll feel like a kid again XD
Unfortunately, we went during winter, so it was effing freezing.
Fortunately, we got a student discount for the tickets. 42 euros for 2 parks isn't a bad thing.
Unfortunately,our legs were already falling off by the time we got on anything.
But it was seriously cool. Have you ever been on a roller coaster that starts off like a rocket? or a roller coaster that plays Aerosmith while you scream? No?
Then you definitely definitely need to visit Disneyland.
And it made me feel like a kid again, just like it made me feel like a kid 13 years ago..*sob2* :)

The Three Dimensions of Health and Well Being
Received Date: Jan 17, 2017 / Accepted Date: Feb 02, 2018 / Published Date: Feb 05, 2018
When discussing the meaning of 'measuring health', it is important to understand what health means. Therefore, according to World Health Organisation, WHO (1948), "Health can be defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity" [1]. This definition indicates that it is really important to know the overall individual's current health and wellbeing status by considering all three dimensions of health that is physical, mental and social health. When focusing on the importance of measuring health from a public health and health promotion point of view, it is important to highlight the definition of public health. "Public health is the science and art of promoting and protection health and well-being, preventing ill-health and prolonging life through the organized efforts of society [2]. Therefore, measuring and understanding the health of individuals is very important, as it helps to keep people healthy and live longer, preventing and curing the disease by identifying and introducing the best intervention program which will work for the specific person.
Physical health can be defined as the proper functioning of all the external and internal parts and organs of the person's body which allows the person to perform the daily tasks normally without any limitation [3]. Good mental health means a person should be able to understand the potential, can manage the general and normal life stresses, can be able to participate in the society, and can be able to work effectively [4]. Well-being can be explained as a positive feeling which a person experiences in the absence of ill health. It is connected with the accomplishment of an individual's own goals and by achieving these goals, the individual feels well and good [5]. Social health can be defined as how the person is able to interact with people for example friends, family and society. When a person is socially healthy, it helps him or her to develop relationships with other people and to make new friends in society. It also helps the people in career and enable them to live independently in their adult life [6-24].

Official Visitation to Kuantan Wesley's MYF
>> Wednesday, October 22, 2008
Date: 17-19 October 2008
Venue: Kuantan Wesley/Kuantan
Occasion: Official visitation to the youth group in Kuantan Wesley under TRAC MYF
Note: I'll upload the pics soon once I get it from CS, who's my faithful Personal Assistant!
The main purpose of going to Kuantan last weekend was to visit the youth group in Kuantan Wesley. I'm a committee member of the national-level Trinity Annual Conference (English-speaking) Methodist Youth Fellowship (TRAC MYF) body. This committee oversees the Methodist youth groups in Malaysia - find out how they're doing, assist them in overcoming the struggles they go through....etc. One of the 'tasks' that we carry out as a committee is to go around Malaysia, visiting the youth groups. We certainly couldn't finish visiting all of them, there are at least 34 Methodist youth groups all over Malaysia! All 5 of us committee members are stretched out in some way or another. We have other commitments, & to go around Malaysia while at the same time we're students/working adult (I'm the only working one... =.=") isn't something easy.
Anyways, the visit to Kuantan was a very refreshing one. Only 3 of us committee members could make it for this visitation. LC is in Penang & is heading some blood donation campaign for the hospital that he's attached to, while ST has some conference by her uni to attend. It's JO's & CS's first time in Kuantan, & my, they are sure excited :)
I brought them to the beach where CS could take all the photos that he wants & we had cendol, nasi dagang, & ikan bakar as well. There wasn't enough time to try out other food stuff before & after our 'duty'! Haha...there'll be more opportunities in the future :)
Overall, we had a great time there with the youths, catching up with friends, & for me - spending some time with my families there as well.
Some photos that I took with my own camera:
Date: 17 October 2008, Friday
Venue: Crocodile Rock, Lorong Kubang Buaya, Kuantan (along the way to Teluk Cempedak beach)
Occasion: Dinner with AP
Halal: Yes
Overall comment: It's a very nice place to dine :) Ambiance is very warm, cosy & homey (no, it's not the humid warm...haha). Prices of food there is quite reasonable too :) The taste of food there is also quite nice, depending on what you order. The pizza there is quite nice :)
Thin crust topped with chunky assortment :P Me likey...it could do with more cheese! I like the taste of the sauce...yums! Oh ya...AP thought it's called Sunset Special, that's why we ordered it...but I feel that it's called Sunset Delight! *lol* If u happen to try this place out & find out what it's called, let me know!
Delicious spaghetti with chicken in tomato cream sauce. It's a very simple pasta, but yummy :)
Date: 18 October 2008, Saturday
Venue: 'a corner coffeeshop opposite Kuantan Specialist Centre in Kuantan Garden/Seri Kuantan' - there's only ONE coffeeshop there...
Occasion: Breakfast with uncle Francis & Phoebe
Overall comment: The curry laksa there was quite nice, especially the yong tau foo pieces! I liked it...but the curry was a bit diluted :( This isn't the best place for curry laksa...the one along Jalan Teluk Sisek, on the way to Teluk Cempedak, same row as Zam Zam mamak, is much better, but by the time we went there, it was sold out! *wow*

Harper, Zimmermann having 'blast' as All-Stars
Outfielder getting second taste of experience, pitcher making first appearance
NEW YORK -- The 20-year-old kid acts like he's been here before, because he has. The 27-year-old veteran is a little more wide-eyed.
Bryce Harper and Jordan Zimmermann have this in common, however: there's no place that either Nationals All-Star would rather be this week. Harper, an All-Star for the second time in as many years, and Zimmermann, a first-timer, make up the 2013 Midsummer Classic contingent for the Nats.
There could have been more, but these two will enjoy the experience while they're here.
"Bryce is very well deserving, and I thought [Ian Desmond] had a good chance of making it," Zimmermann said. "[Stephen Strasburg] had a great first half, and Gio [Gonzalez] as well. He's got, I think, a 3 ERA and been pitching great of late. We could have a lot more guys here."
Zimmermann won't pitch, but Harper will definitely appear for the National League. He's in the starting lineup, voted in by fans. The second-year slugger will bat ninth -- a bit of an unfamiliar spot, though he's unfazed by it.
"It's just another leadoff, I guess," Harper said. "I'm just trying to have fun. There's so much talent in this whole game. Hopefully I'm not pitching tomorrow -- in the nine-hole, I hope I'm not pitching. It's going to be a lot of fun."
The 2013 All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field on Tuesday. Come to MLB.com for extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the official voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the official vote determining the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally (8 p.m. ET) by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
For both Harper and Zimmermann, not to mention the Washington team, it's been a bit of a difficult ride to the All-Star break. The pair are assuredly deserving All-Stars, but each has dealt with injury issues during the first half.
Harper missed five weeks due to a knee injury, but was still voted in as a starter. He's hitting .264 on the year, with a .371 on-base percentage, a .522 slugging percentage, 13 home runs, 29 RBIs and 38 runs scored.
He's having a better year in most respects than he did in 2012, though he's understandably a bit less of a media magnet than he was then. Last year, Harper and fellow rookie Mike Trout were the biggest stories in Kansas City. This year, Harper finds himself slightly less hounded. Not that he's noticed.
"I have no pressure on me," he said. "I have no hype. I try to go out there and play the game I know how to play, and I let people talk about whatever they want to talk about. I try to just go out there and have fun and respect the game as much as I can, and good things will happen."
Zimmermann stayed healthy for the season's first three months, but has come down with neck discomfort that will keep him from pitching on Tuesday. If not for that, he might have at least been in the conversation to start the game. He has a league-leading 12 wins, a 2.58 ERA, and 95 strikeouts against 18 walks in 132 1/3 innings.
Instead, Zimmermann will watch. But he said there was no doubt about whether to make the trip, even once he knew he wouldn't be pitching.
"It means a lot [to be chosen]," he said. "I've always wanted to have a chance to come up here. ... I'm just getting good run support and a lot more wins this year. I'm happy to be here."
So is Harper, who made it clear that no matter how many times he's chosen, he'll relish the chance.
"I always take it in," he said. "Why wouldn't you? Your first All-Star Game, your second All-Star Game, it's a lot of fun. You're playing a game for a living. There's nothing else I would want to do. So it's just a lot of fun. It's a blast. I look forward to playing every single day."

This is the fifth section of a booklet that I put together for my father-in-law's 96th birthday. His parents were Clifford Franklin and Bertha Bryan Blackmore. Section five is about Bertha Bryan's parents. Future postings will include the other parents and grandparents of Clifford and Bertha and will include Blincow and Doyle surnames. I have also included information about the siblings of these direct ancestors.
Oliver Bryan and Mary Emma Doyle Bryan
Oliver BRYAN was the oldest child of Albert and Ann. He was born on 2 October 1851 in Jefferson County, Iowa. Oliver married Mary Emma DOYLE on 30 December 1880 in Achilles, Rawlins County, Kansas. Mary was born on 16 December 1853, the daughter of John William DOYLE and Rebecca Elizabeth JOHNSON, in Wheeling, Ohio County, Virginia. This area of Virginia is now part of West Virginia since this was before 1863 when West Virginia officially became a state. Ohio County is in northern West Virginia and borders the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Oliver was born in Iowa in Jefferson County, which is in southeast Iowa. He and his family moved to Poweshiek County, which is northwest of Jefferson before 1856 and he lived there until at least 1860. Sometime before 1880, Oliver moved to Rawlins County, Kansas, even though his family still lived in Iowa.
Sometime in the 1870s John William Doyle (Mary Emma's father) and his children moved from Illinois to Kansas. In 1858 in Iowa Rebecca, his wife, died during childbirth. Oliver and Mary Emma's family lived very near each other on farms in the 1880 census.
Oliver and Mary Emma Doyle Bryan had 6 children: two sons and four daughters (John Albert, Myrtle, Sylvia, Alma, Bertha Jane, and Oliver Herman).
Oliver and Mary lived on farms in Kansas and Iowa until the early 1900s. Except for Sylvia and her husband all of their children moved with them to Colorado where, for a short time about 1910, they lived on a farm. Then they moved to Southern California.
In 1914 as indicated in the clippings Oliver leased land for a poultry farm in Winchester, California, although he gave up the lease in December 1914. According to the 1920 census Oliver was now working in the oil fields.
Mary Emma Doyle Bryan died on 7 December 1933 in Pomona, California. Mary and Oliver were possibly living at 1136 W 4th Street in Pomona at this time. She was 80. In 1940 Oliver was living with his daughter Alma and her husband Charles Billstrom and their children at 320 No Hamilton, Pomona. Oliver died on 8 July 1944 in Pomona, Los Angeles County, California.
Brothers and Sisters of Bertha Jane Bryan
John Albert Bryan was born on 6 Jul 1882 in Achilles, Rawlins County, Kansas. He married Clara Lee Bussey, the daughter of Robert S Bussey and Eva Elizabeth Gordon, on 30 May 1918 in California. Clara was born on 30 May 1893 in Alabama. She moved to California with her parents sometime before 1910.
In 1900, while he was living in Iowa near his parents, John was listed as a farm laborer in the census records. John registered for the World War I draft in 1918 in California. He stated that he was short, of medium build and had blue eyes and brown hair. At the time he registered for the draft, he listed his next of kin as Clara Lee Bryan. He stated that he was a truck driver for Union Oil Company in Brea, California.
The 1920 census showed that John was working in the oil fields. This record showed that most of the men in this Placentia, California, neighborhood where John and Clara were living were also working in the oil fields in various jobs. John's occupation changed in the 1930s and 1940s. Addresses for John and Clara during the 1930s were all in Pomona. In the census records for both 1930 and 1940, John was listed as owning or working on a poultry farm.
It appears that John Albert and Clara had no children.
Clara died on 18 September 1944 in San Bernardino County, California. After Clara's death John married Anna Louise Barnes Rennick on 18 March 1945. Rennick was the name of Anna's first husband. Anna was born between 1900 and 1905 and records are in conflict as to whether she was born in Maine or New York. She died in September 1992 in San Bernardino County, California. John died in 15 May 1975 in Montclair, San Bernardino County, California.
Myrtle Bryan was born on 5 April 1884 in Achilles, Rawlins County, Kansas. She died a few days later on 10 April 1884 in Achilles, Kansas.
Sylvia August Bryan was born on 4 April 1884 in Achilles, Rawlins County, Kansas. Sylvia married Thomas Malone on 28 September 1904 in Tully, Rawlins County, Kansas. Thomas was the son of John Malone and Mary Ann Delaney and was born on 3 February 1871 in Illinois.
Even though her family moved to Colorado about 1910, Sylvia, Thomas, and their adopted daughter Anna stayed in Kansas. While living in Kansas, Thomas was a farmer. Then, by 1928, their family was in Pomona at 525 W Monterey Street and Thomas was working for the railroad. His occupation was listed as watchman or crossing watchman in both the 1930 and 1940 census records. Beginning about 1928 they lived at 525 West Monterey Street in Pomona, California.
Thomas Malone died on 27 April 1954 in Los Angeles County, California. Sylvia died in Los Angeles County, California on 26 August 1973.
Alma Viola Bryan was born on 31 May 1888 in Achilles, Rawlins County, Kansas. Alma married Charles Oscar Billstrom on 15 June 1908 in Read, Delta County, Colorado. Charles was born on 27 June 1884 in Holdredge, Nebraska, the son of John Peter Billstrom and Mary Christina Berggren.
In 1910 the census showed that Charles was working in a coal mine in Colorado. Charles and Alma had eight children: seven boys and one girl who was the youngest: Don Alfred, Charles Oscar, Loren, Ted John, Oliver Pete, Robert Stanley, Herbert Leroy and Christina Marie Billstrom. The first five boys were all born in Colorado, while the last two boys and Christina were born in California. Their son Loren died before 1920. Sometime between 1916 and 1918, the family moved to California.
Charles filled out the WWI draft registration card while working in Montana as a blacksmith for Clifton Applegate & Toole Co, in Anaconda, Montana. This card indicated that his wife was living in Fullerton, California. Charles indicated that he was tall, of medium build and he had blue eyes and brown hair.
In 1920, Charles and Alma, along with five of their children (Don, Charley, Teddy, Oliver and Robert) were living near Alma's parents, Oliver and Mary Bryan in Placentia, California. Charles was working in the oil fields, as were most of the men in the neighborhood. Also working for an oil company in 1930 were their sons Don Alfred and Charles Oscar. It appears from information in the 1930 and 1940 census records that this family lived in Pomona in both 1930 and 1940. However the 1940 census records showed that in 1935 they lived in Delta, Colorado.
Charles died on 16 April 1959 in San Bernardino County, California. Alma died on 23 May 1974 in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, California.
Bertha Jane Bryan married Clifford Franklin Blackmore on 10 November 1914 in Winchester, California. She was born in Montezuma, Poweshiek County, Iowa on 26 August 1890 to Oliver Bryan and Mary Emma Oliver. More information about this couple is found in the first section of this series.
Oliver Herman Bryan was Oliver and Mary Emma's youngest son. He was born on 7 November 1893 in Pleasant, Poweshiek County, Iowa. He died on 23 June 1910 in Read, Delta County, Colorado. In the 1910 census Oliver was living with his parents in Colorado and was listed as single. He must have died soon after this census was taken.

Mutual funds, which are among the most significant players in the country's stock market, sold equities worth Rs 20,000 crore last year as they booked profits after stocks soared on the back of reforms and FII inflows.
Now, the fund houses are lining up dividend payments from the realised gains for their respective investors. Market regulator Sebi had in March 2010 asked funds to give dividends from realised gains only, and not from unit premium reserve.
Those having already announced their dividends include a large number of banking-focused schemes, which gained an average of 55 per cent in 2012.
Among these, Reliance Mutual Fund has fixed January 18 as the record date for declaration of dividend under the dividend option of Reliance Banking Fund. The quantum of dividend will be Rs 4 on face value of Rs 10 per unit. Similarly, Sahara
Banking & Financial Services Fund is giving Rs 2.50 per unit and the dividend declared is tax free in investors' hands.
Tax-saving funds, which rose average 31 per cent last year, are also trying to perk up investor sentiment ahead of the busy season in March. Fund house Franklin has proposed dividend payments for at least two of its tax-saving schemes.
Mid-cap focussed funds like ICICI Prudential Midcap, which was among top 100 funds last year in terms of gains, has also declared 20 per cent (Rs 2 per unit) dividend.
Others having dividend payments for their equity schemes include PineBridge, Tata, DSP BlackRock Mutual Fund. There are more than 400 equity schemes in the country, managing assets worth about Rs 1.66 lakh crore.

Nine years later, the city's development is not exactly on schedule. Most of the major delays have stemmed from the challenges of building a city under occupation. The two main problems: installing a working water line and building a road to connect the city to the rest of the West Bank.

In 2003, Louis Vuitton — fabricator of the most luxurious and luxe of all the luxury super-deluxe handbags to be made of coated canvas — launched a collaboration with Murakami, a multi-media artist perhaps best-known for his manga-inspired "superflat" paintings. Murakami produced a five-minute ad that played in Louis Vuitton stores, and designer Marc Jacobs had the artist redesign the signature Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas in a variety of ways. Murakami made two different multi-colored monogram patterns, a design which kept the original brown-and-gold monogram but overlaid it with cherries and animé characters, and one that featured cherry blossoms. All of these fabrics were turned into purses like these:

Which, if you were alive in 2003, you doubtless saw plenty of on the street. Perhaps some nice sorority ladies from your local institution of higher education modeled them for you? (This was before the vogue for Vera Bradley.) Or maybe you spied a woman in capris and a pastel button-down stepping down from the cockpit of an SUV with one slung over her arm. Either way, they were around. But Clint Arthur, a Los Angeles-area distributor of gourmet butter, apparently didn't see any of them. When the Museum of Contemporary Art threw a Murakami retrospective in 2007, and opened a Louis Vuitton pop-up store selling Murakami's work on its premises, the monogram fabric designs were sold as prints in editions of 500. The boutique called them "canvasses revisited by Takashi Murakami," and so Arthur bought two at $6,000 apiece.
Arthur's contention is that the canvases, aside from just being purses without the handles and trim, were not "revisited" by Murakami at all: and the designs are, in fact, identical to the fabric used for the purses. (Because they are the purse fabric! Which any sighted person alive in the first world in 2003, let alone any collector with a supposed interest in Murakami, might have recognized!) But then, there's an argument to be made that cutting the fabric to a different size and stretching it over a frame does constitute "revisiting" the material and its purpose. (Insert point about Warhol's Brillo boxes here.) The entire nature of a print is that it's a reproducible, mass-produced object which nonetheless straddles the boundaries of art. The re-appropriation of mass-market imagery is integral to Murakami's work in general, not just his stuff for Louis Vuitton. The fact that Arthur has refused a refund of his purchase price, with interest, does not necessarily endear me to his lawsuit.
But then again, MOCA might have done more to let patrons know that the pop-up Louis Vuitton boutique in its gallery space was just selling four-year-old textiles as prints. As for LVMH, perhaps it's just my gender speaking, but I'm inured to the shock of such shysterism on the part of a luxury company. Charging $2000 for a canvas handbag might be criminal, but it ain't against the law. Calling the fabric left over an art print probably isn't either.

I'm not with the ... robot will working on at the time so ... and like everybody idea was to have a diverse audience ... so I can represent the minority party ... yet each one is ... that the ocean ... well all the ... other would IBM's building on a tiny part of me is that you ... don't have told you don't have a pact by the way right you do not have a pact ... never to know personally make political capital is good ... I just think ... this is the most by the Gobain philosophy of ... two hundred and seventy countries right ... worthy of a pack ... ice bushfire without a watch and that's what really has a price guide of where hundreds of the country's ... Hewlett-Packard washer ... or would he go make your home leakage overture broke the law ... OK what about in Russia well were interaction so all you only get you wanna get in Russia I got Giada when given the shock does one make sure we understand were dealing with here ... so while it was not that the U S consulate in Russia ... that my only point is that what you decide that unit operates the same way hundred seventy countries ... everything that you do ... standards of behavior ethics hacks ... when the practices ... whatever happens to be entered into the role model ... for integrity you what Wall model for integrity Senator Richard business ... the fact that you know when the political to ... think so and that ... our government this is around the well Ex's books twenty percent by the end of ... a rule How militia four five percent though a little better than ... are better than industrial sector ... so so you're down or you're down at the White House you're talking about ways tied up with ways to improve the functioning of government ... I do think it's true that ... we have made progress ... that doesn't mean there hasn't been lot of interaction ... of what's the point of interaction if that doesn't lead to progress you do what is this the people were progressing ... op I mean that you know I'm going to everything ... we've done tussle were ... up and for whatever says are reasons we have available stylish ... be in sync with the parties of give you one example he did avoid one example ... of we live and fight off about this when the party alleges that range ... off we go up and improve falling reduce the cost of health care system but minor billion dollars the bill was a bit ... the self I mean you should ensure anybody one of the illegal aliens called Hat's ponies were ... write ... up ... and in this awful simple did not require ... any big ... legislative change to the end of ... its money on the investment ... meanwhile was due to what the USO's debate with foreign donor was once a country not as is that ... for a billion ... all we did was take ...

I agree with this I mean not that I'm not to be judged not all about these things I really do think what it is is that we were aligned with ... Verdi's me ... IBM recommendations as you go to exports ... I get lots of things up ... all along the way and we were aligned with the party's administration so ... the party ... at the time for us to mines and health care ... was not ... reduce ... costs and improve quality ... it was two up by insurance coverage for people that was of our party did a lot ... always said if you do this to define the Prairie without ... increasing the deficit to pay taxes on ... and ... we can solve the case ...

At the University of Michigan's Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, my colleague Claudia and I provide conservation for the Museum's daily activities as well as for two of its excavations. Today we're working on objects from Karanis, a Graeco-Roman farming town in Egypt, where the University of Michigan excavated in the 1920's.
These objects will be shown in an upcoming exhibition here at the Kelsey Museum, Karanis Revealed, and they are currently undergoing conservation.
Two of these objects, the knife and the inkwell (top), will need conservation treatment before they're exhibited. The knife blade, made of iron, has active corrosion that could get worse during the exhibition. The inkwell, made of faience, has cracks and areas where the surface needs to stabilized. The painted bone on the lower right just needs extra TLC; low light to protect the paint from fading, and special handling since the paint is powdery and comes off easily when the bone is touched.
The research and examination undertaken by conservators can help archaeologists understand the materials they excavate, but the primary goal of archaeological conservation is to preserve excavated artifacts. It would be sad if something that's survived for 2,000 years fell apart after excavation for lack of care!

Rain eases drought for some, but not all
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rain that moved across the Midwest in the past week has helped ease drought conditions for some farmers.
The weekly drought monitor report from the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska was released Thursday. It shows the rain that caused flooding in some areas of the Midwest helped decrease the drought area from the upper Midwest into the western corn belt and central portions of the Rockies and Great Plains.
But there's a new problem: The heavy rain has left fields muddy in Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. And that means corn planting will be behind schedule.
All of the country's drought-parched states aren't out of the woods. The report shows drought is intensifying from western Texas into northern California.

Identity theft is not just a finan

ID theft takes toll on the workplace
inShare Guest Column:
James R. LaPiedra
Posted 3/18/13
One of the top box office movies of the winter was called "Identity Thief," a lightweight comedy about a guy chasing a woman across the country after she had stolen his identity. It was filled with pratfalls, sight gags and fat jokes.
The message of the movie was simple: getting your identity stolen can be funny. But try telling that to the more than 11 million victims who each year suffer the devastating, emotional toll of knowing they no longer have control over their lives. To his credit, film critic Mick Lasalle of the San Francisco Chronicle summed up the movie quite well, "The concept of one person stealing another's identity might be amusing in the abstract, but the minute you start filling in the details, it becomes the stuff of drama, not comedy."
Identity theft is not just a financial burden, but also a feeling of vulnerability and violation.
Research shows it can take up to 33 hours for a victim to come to a satisfactory ID-theft resolution. With some reports suggesting it can take up to 600 hours for truly serious breaches to be rectified, and occasionally the problem never gets resolved. There are instances where a person's identity has been abused so badly the victim has to walk around with an affidavit saying they are the real person their ID says they are.
Whether 33 hours or 600 hours, that's a lot of time spent on phones, emails, copying documents, running to the post office, etc. It also takes a lot of direct telephone interaction with a live person, a person who works your basic 9-5 schedule.
This means when a person has their identity stolen there's also an innocent bystander about to become collateral damage: the employer.
Industry research has found conclusive evidence that legal issues cause workplace distraction, absenteeism and lost productivity. According to Corporate Wellness magazine, 48 percent of a company's employees will experience some business or personal legal-related issues (including ID theft) throughout the year, and be away from their jobs at least 51 hours per year to solve them. This time spent away from work dealing with legal issues ends up costing employers thousands of dollars in terms of overtime, absenteeism, higher insurance and compensation-premium claims, administrative costs and lost employee production.

FreeBSD monitoring tool
we made a first public release of the FreeBSD monitoring solution (it's cross-platform, but we consider FreeBSD as one of our primary platform) and I'm looking for those, who interested to give it a try and come back with the feedback. You're only required to register and install the monitoring part on your server - FreeBSD 7.* and higher (which is just 1-2 minutes - depending on how fast you are) and provide your feedback (as much as you'd like).
We looking to build a proper, useful full coverage monitoring solution for FreeBSD and need your feedback. Those who interested - please, let me know or, if the moderator will allow, I drop the link here.
Kind regards,
Ok, from what I was told, I can post the link as well: http://10bees.com
Please, let me know on your feedback - it's very important and highly appreciated - here or using the contacts on the site, whatever works better for you.
Last edited by J65nko; 23rd May 2013 at 02:50 PM. Reason: Turn URL into proper link
Please note that the install of these monitoring tools comes in the form of a FreeBSD package. Right now I don't have the opportunity to check whether this package has been verified/approved by a FreeBSD ports committer.
From pkg_add(1):
WARNING Since the pkg_add command may execute scripts or programs contained within a package file, your system may be susceptible to ``trojan horses'' or other subtle attacks from miscreants who create dangerous package files. You are advised to verify the competence and identity of those who pro- vide installable package files. For extra protection, use the -M flag to extract the package file, and inspect its contents and scripts to ensure it poses no danger to your system's integrity. Pay particular attention to any +INSTALL, +POST-INSTALL, +DEINSTALL, +POST-DEINSTALL, +REQUIRE or +MTREE_DIRS files, and inspect the +CONTENTS file for @cwd, @mode (check for setuid), @dirrm, @exec, and @unexec directives, and/or use the pkg_info(1) command to examine the package file.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
We do have a port as well, which is used to make a package and I hope it will be accepted by a FreeBSD team - any help here will be appreciated.
Regarding the security - you can verify what the package will be doing by using a
pkg_add --dry-run 10bees.tbz
If any comments or other details required - just let me know, I'm happy to clarify!
just to bring an update – we relaunched the service a while ago and recently rolled out an updated version with most of the concerns addressed.
You can find the details in our blog (blog.10bees.com), created to keep our customers up to date with the major updates and changes.
The platform is matured and if you are looking for a FreeBSD hosted monitoring solution - please, give it a try and drop us an e-mail if anything we can do for you.
This means I can't access your website:
function checkVersion(e, redirect){ var browser = getBrowserLine(), name = browser[0], version = parseInt(browser[1].substring(0, browser[1].indexOf('.')), 10); if( (name == "Chrome" && version > 19 ) || (name == "Firefox" && version > 16 ) || (name == "Safari" && version > 5 ) || (name == "MSIE" && version > 9 ) ){ if(!redirect) location.href = "/dashboard/"; } else if(location.href.indexOf('browsers') < 0){ location.href = "/browsers/"; } };
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
I see your point.
The primary goal for doing this is to make sure that the dashboard (quite a JS & CSS intensive page) will be delivered in a proper way, and we decided to join a 37signals approach (signalvnoise.com/posts/3097-developing-for-old-browsers-is-almost-a-thing-of-the-past).
Let us address this - what is the browser you are using? I'm guessing it could be some non-standard WebKit wrapper?
I use Opera 12, the latest version available for Linux (which is still supported). Not that this really matters, since no browser other than IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari will work...
IMHO It's always best to assume the user's browser will work, unless you have a good reason to think otherwise, for example you know a version has a specific bug, or a certain feature is missing (it's often easy to detect this). so blacklist, rather than whitelist.
Even then, it may just be a good idea to just display a warning, and let the user continue. *Maybe*, the user knows what he/she is doing, or just *maybe*, you detection script is broken, or *maybe* something changes in browsers, etc...
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
Makes perfect sense. I'm registering this as an improvement suggestion on your behalf via our support system; if you send me your mail via personal messages, I will associate this with you and you will be personally notified on the progress.
