BRENTWOOD — As a woman charged in connection with the killing of Amanda "Amy" Warf argued for lower bail, new details about the alleged conspiracy to kill Warf were revealed.
BRENTWOOD — As a woman charged in connection with the killing of Amanda "Amy" Warf argued for lower bail, new details about the alleged conspiracy to kill Warf were revealed.
Prosecutors allege Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, 36, forced her at gunpoint into an abandoned concrete factory in Exeter, where prosecutors claim he murdered her.
Desjardins' wife, Sarah, of 67 Railroad Ave., Epping, appeared Friday morning at 10th Circuit Court to waive a probable cause hearing. Waiving the hearing forwards her case to a grand jury for possible indictment, but she argued to have her bail lowered to $5,000 cash bail.
Sarah Desjardins, 34, is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit murder and one count of conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension or prosecution. Aaron Desjardins was charged last month with first-degree murder for the killing of Warf, his ex-wife and the mother of his 11-month-old son, William Edward Warf.
Also charged in the case is Aaron Desjardins' sister, Michele Corson, 43, of 373 Water St., Skowhegan, Maine. Corson is charged with conspiracy to commit murder and one count of accomplice to first-degree murder. She has yet to be arraigned in New Hampshire.
In arguing for $50,000 cash or surety bail, Jay McCormack of the N.H. attorney general's office argued that Sarah Desjardins was very much involved in the plot to kill Warf.
McCormack said in addition to providing a false alibi about the whereabouts of Aaron Desjardins on the night of Warf's March 7 killing, Sarah Desjardins made statements to police that she had knowledge of the plan to kill Warf for some time.
"She said there was a loose plan in place to kill Amy Warf that could've gone back to January," McCormack said. "It was just as much her plan to kill Amy."
McCormack alleged Sarah Desjardins picked out the sweater Aaron Desjardins wore the night he allegedly killed Warf because "they would have to burn it as evidence" and urged him to shave his goatee. Prosecutors also alleged Sarah Desjardins texted Corson in February urging her to bring the "roasting pan" from Maine to New Hampshire, which McCormack said was code for "gun."
According to McCormack, that gun was then used by Aaron Desjardins to coerce Warf into the abandoned City Concrete Co. building at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter, where he allegedly killed her by slitting her throat.
When asked after the hearing whether Warf was kidnapped, McCormack declined to comment.
McCormack said Aaron Desjardins told police that Sarah Desjardins was involved in the conspiracy to kill Warf and that the pair discussed the plan at least 10 times in the three weeks leading up to the killing.
McCormack said Sarah Desjardins and Corson allegedly covered for Aaron Desjardins "while he committed the act."
"This was a conspiracy that took place over months and resulted in the brutal death of Amanda Warf," McCormack said.
McCormack said Aaron Desjardins' statements to police indicate that Sarah Desjardins poses a danger to the public.
"This is someone who took part in an agreement to kill an innocent woman, Amy Warf," McCormack said. "There is nothing more dangerous than someone willing to engage in a plan to kill and take steps to conceal it."
Sarah Desjardins' attorney, Emily McLaughlin, denied her client's involvement in the conspiracy and claimed that she has been trying to distance herself from her husband since he was arrested and charged with the killing.
"The only evidence the state has (against Sarah Desjardins) are her own statements of her husband's homicidal ideation," McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin said Sarah Desjardins never believed her husband would act on his homicidal thoughts, and she took him to counseling a day before the killing.
McLaughlin also argued that Sarah Desjardins didn't know "roasting pan" meant "gun" until after she sent the text, and that Aaron Desjardins pressured her into providing a false alibi when authorities questioned him, telling her to "stick to the story."
Sarah Desjardins has also been seeking psychological counseling and voluntarily admitted herself to the hospital twice. She was released to address the state's concerns about suicidal tendencies, according to McLaughlin.
"She has obviously experienced a significant amount of stress related to this experience," McLaughlin said. "She has been extraordinarily emotionally affected by these allegations."
McLaughlin said if her client were to be released, Sarah Desjardins would live in Nashua with her mother and brother.
Judge Mark Weaver declined Sarah Desjardins' request for lower bail and sided with the state's request of $50,000 cash or surety.
"I agree with the state in this case given the seriousness of the charge and potential sentence that could be imposed if defendant is found guilty on these charges, that there's a risk here of flight," Weaver said.
McCormack said Aaron Desjardins' mother also objected to Sarah Desjardins' release.
Warf's body was discovered by firefighters extinguishing a small fire at the former City Concrete Co. Authorities said the blaze was set.
Warf graduated from Winnacunnet High School in 1994, then lived in Hampton and North Hampton. She worked for Exeter Hospital's billing department at its administrative building on Holland Way, about a quarter-mile from where her body was found.
According to court documents from Rockingham Superior Court in Brentwood, Warf and Aaron Desjardins were having ongoing discussions about the custody of their son.
A court filing in reference to child care exchanges indicated there was "tension between Ms. Warf and Sarah Desjardins."
Court documents also indicate there was a brief dispute about whether Aaron Desjardins was still covered by Warf's health insurance. Aaron Desjardins was seeking a $5,500 reimbursement from Warf for an insurance premium related to a medical condition. However, the court ruled he was no longer eligible for coverage under Warf's policy because he had remarried.
"She said there was a loose plan in place to kill Amy Warf that could've gone back to January. ... It was just as much her plan to kill Amy."

Those unfamiliar with pop music would be forgiven for confusing All Saints with another hotly tipped music property,
the Spice Girls. The four members of All Saints could have stood for Spice Girls body doubles in a lineup: two brunettes, one blonde, and one of West Indian descent. While the Spice Girls were always pure pop and barely musically functional, the members of All Saints, however, were songwriters and music aficionados with a softer, more intelligent image less tied to their looks than their music.
The group came together in 1993 when Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis began recording and writing at a studio on All Saints Road, in London's Ladbroke Grove. The duo hooked up with R&B vocalist Simone Rainford and released a single for ZTT Records in 1995, then parted ways with Rainford and were dumped by the label. Undeterred, Blatt and Lewis recruited native Canadian Nicole Appleton and, later, her big sister Natalie, to make All Saints a quartet.
With the help of friend Karl Gordon (formerly part of the British rap ensemble Outlaw Posse), All Saints recorded a demo of the song "I Know Where It's At." New manager John Benson signed the girls to London Records and connected them with top-flight producers Nellee Hooper (Massive Attack, Björk) and Cameron McVey (Neneh Cherry). Fully recorded, "I Know Where It's At" hit number four on the British charts and crossed over throughout Europe and Asia.
By 1997, All Saints had reached the top spot with their second single, "Never Ever." The quartet released their self-titled debut album in November 1997, and began to grow in America as well, hitting the Top 40 with "I Know Where It's At." By 1998, All Saints was certified platinum in the U.S. and five-times platinum in the U.K., but rumors of split between the group started to brew. Melanie Blatt was expecting her first child with Jamiroquai's Stuart Zender and gossip claimed she was leaving All Saints. Nicole Appleton was also rumored to have walked out of the band after the group failed to show up for the Smash Hits Poll Winners' celebration that year.
In early 2000, their William Orbit-produced single "Pure Shores" was included on the soundtrack to the Leonardo DiCaprio film, The Beach. Countless festival shows across the U.K. also redefined All Saints' staying power despite their shaky unit. The long-awaited sophomore effort, Saints & Sinners, was finally issued in October 2000, boosting second single "Black Coffee" into the charts, but still, trouble loomed ahead. By the start of 2001, tours of Japan and Australia were canceled. Jealousy was the culprit, for Lewis and Blatt were ill-disposed of the Appleton sisters' celebrity status, especially Natalie's relationship with the Prodigy's Liam Howlett and Nicole's with Oasis mad man Liam Gallagher. In February 2001, the split was finalized. Blatt released her first single, "Twentyfourseven," in the summer and Shaznay Lewis was writing with All Saints producer K Gee. The Appletons were cutting material as well as making plans for a tell-all book. All Hits, a greatest-hits collection of singles and a limited-edition DVD, was issued in fall 2001, marking the bitter end for the All Saints. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

When the medicine is broken, its contents are white.Difference between Viagra, levitra and cialis?After that, in October 2016, Pfizer also released Viagra Film (OD Film). where to buy viagra calgaryA convenient type of film that is compact and can be stored in your wallet.Both Viagra tablets and films are classified as drugs not listed in the drug standard, and are classified as drugs not covered by insurance, so you can go to any medical facility at your own expense.How to take and precautions?Below are just the highlights of its adoption. The main thing is to drink on an empty stomach.Take with water 1 hour before sexual activity. If there is no water, there is no problem with soft drinks and tea.However, do not drink drinks that contain fat, such as milk. This can interfere with the absorption of the drug.It is dangerous to take grapefruit juice because the medicine may be too effective or unexpected side effects may occur.Also, note that even if you chew it, it doesn't work fast and is only bitter.The action time is about 4-5 hours after taking it.Take once a day and take at least 24 hours between meals. where to buy viagra calgaryThe effect of taking 1 tablet of Viagra is too strong, so you can break it in half.In addition, it is more profitable to buy large doses of Viagra tablets and divide them in half.The reasons are different for each person, but there are quite a few people who break their medicine and use it.Those who cannot prescribe Viagra:It should not be prescribed even to people taking nitric acid.It is not a drug that works and sets without permission, but it doesn't work if you don't have sexual desire and sexual stimulation.Think of it as an erection medicine.There is no effect of sexual arousal or stimulation of sexual desire, so its use will not cause an erection. Viagra helps with erection with sexual stimulation.If you take it after meals, the effect will be much lower than before meals (when you are hungry). If you are hungry, it will take effect in about 30 minutes.Drinking in moderation can be effective, but drinking too much may not work at all. where to buy viagra calgaryAbout side effects, are you straining your heart?Those who take Viagra tend to have side effects such as «hot flashes on the face» and «red blood in the eyes» as soon as the effects begin to appear.It will be easier to understand if you can imagine when you are drinking.This is a symptom that occurs in about 50% of people, so it's good if you can take it as a signal that Viagra has started to work.Other symptoms, such as headache, palpitations, and stuffy nose, may occur, but these are temporary.On the other hand, there are few cases, but it cannot be said that there are no serious side effects.Viagra strains the heart?Many people think that Viagra pills are bad for the heart, but the misunderstanding is that Viagra does not directly burden the heart.However, taking Viagra will increase your erection, so if you try too hard on sexual activity it will strain your heart.If you have heart disease, it is important not only to check with your doctor to see if you can exercise, but also not to try too hard.Another option is to lower the dose of Viagra to prevent side effects.If headache occurs with 50 mg, take 25 mg. Plus, you can break Viagra before taking it. http://buy-viagra-canada.net/where-to-buy-viagra-in-canada/

Hacker group in demonstration against web filter that blocks sites deemed offensive by authorities
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, February 11, 2010
Hackers protesting government censorship of the Internet have shut down several Australian government websites in a demonstration against the announcement that filters would be imposed to block access to websites deemed offensive by the authorities.
The campaign was launched by the anti-Scientology group Anonymous in response to plans to implement a mandatory and wide-ranging internet filter modeled on that of the Communist Chinese government.
This is not the first time the group has attacked government websites, having launched a similar stunt last September.
"The main government website, www.australia.gov.au, and parliament's www.aph.gov.au were both affected along with the sites for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy," reports AFP.
"No one messes with our access to perfectly legal (or illegal) content for any reason," said a statement released by the group.
The Australian government attacked the campaign as "not a legitimate form of political statement."
Despite the Australian government promising that the Internet filter would only be used to block access to child pornography and other illegal websites, the watchdog group Electronic Frontiers Australia warned that the law will also allow the government to block any website it desires under vague definitions.
In March 2009, the Wikileaks website published a leaked secret list of sites slated to be blocked by Australia's state-sponsored parental filter.
The list revealed that blacklisted sites included "online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist."
The filter will even block web-based games deemed unsuitable for anyone over the age of fifteen, according to the Australian government.
Calls to mandate Internet users to obtain licenses, in other words government permission, before they can post to the web have grown in recent weeks, with top Microsoft executive Craig Mundie insisting at the recent Davos Economic Forum that the Internet should be policed.
Within days, Time Magazine enthusiastically jumped on the bandwagon to back Mundie's proposal, as authorities push for a system even more stifling than in Communist China, where only people who have been approved by the authorities would be allowed to express free speech.
ISPs across the world, including in supposed democratic countries like the UK, the US and New Zealand, have periodically blocked access to Alex Jones' websites without justification and only restored access after a barrage of complaints.
As we have highlighted before, although the merits of hacking as a form of protest can be debated, what seems certain to happen is that governments will launch a false flag cyber attack which will cause a major catastrophe that can then be blamed on the free Internet, acting as a pretext to tighten the screws on plans for centralized regulation and censorship which are already in place.
Watch the video below in which Alex Jones exposes the incremental deployment of Chinese style Internet censorship across the world.

ALBANY, New York, December 3, 2013
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Bone Densitometers Market(DEXA, QCT, pDEXA, SEXA, pQCT, RA and QUS)- Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," the global bone densitometers market was valued at USD 777.9 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 908.5million in 2019.
Browse the full report with complete TOC at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/bone-densitometers-market.html
Bone densitometry is a non-invasive diagnostic technique which involves use of bone densitometers for quantitative measurement of bone mass or density. Over a past few decades, decrease in bone mass or density has been associated with the occurrence of fractures in future and thus bone density measurement has been considered as an indicator to predict fracture risk. Moreover, people with medications for corticosteroid treatment, cancer, eating disorders, amenorrhea and genetic disorders are also preferred for evaluation of bone mineral density.
Major improvements in diagnostic technology have been witnessed since last decade due to change in perception for osteoporotic disease, growing elderly population and high expenditure to society and healthcare agencies along with the adverse effects on patients across the globe. The advances in the technology are making it possible for early detection of disease before fracture occurs. With socio-economic development in many developing countries and rapid ageing of the population, osteoporosis has become one of the most prevalent and costly health problems in these regions. Growing ageing population combined with increased vitamin D deficient patients and rise in risk for osteoporosis in post-menopausal women contribute to the growth of this market particularly in emerging economies of Middle East, India, China and Japan. Moreover, technological advances in bone densitometerscoupled with increase in access and recognition of these technologies in emerging market, such as China, Brazil, Japan and India will serve as an opportunity for investors to invest in.
The global market for bone densitometers has been studied from the perspective of currently widely accepted technologies and the major end users. Technologies are further segmented, based on axial and peripheral bone density measurement. Axial bone densitometers include dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computed tomography. Peripheral bone densitometers include single energy X-ray absorptiometry, peripheral dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, radiographic absorptiometry, quantitative ultrasound and peripheral computed tomography. The endusers for bone densitometers include clinics and hospitals.Hospitals remain the major hub in most of the countries across the globe for bone densitometry diagnostics and devices.
It is expected that the global market for axial bone densitometers will grow at a CAGR of over 3% from 2013 to 2019.In 2012, axial DEXA accounted for the largest share by revenue at USD 297.8 million of the total bone densitometers market. However, due to thedecrease in the reimbursement, the overall market revenue is expected to decline during the forecast period in the U.S and Europe.The market for axial QCTaccounted for the second largest share at USD 182.9million, in 2012. Moreover, it is expected that the global market for peripheral QCT bone densitometers will grow at a CAGR of over 4% from 2013 to 2019, owing to its high sensitivity, portability of devices, lesser scanning time, with better precision and accuracy, and also less radiation exposure.
Geographically, North America dominatedthe global market for bone densitometersin terms of revenue generation and is expected to maintain its position throughout the forecast period. Theadoption of DEXA systems, growing elderly population and consequent rise in incidences of osteoporosis in the U.S., is expected to contribute to the leadership of the North American market. Europe was the second largest regional market for bone densitometersin 2012, owing to the increased demand for bone density measurement.

This is part of a series of mini-Redlands Connections. This is Part 3 of the series, Quick Visits. Magic Johnson and John Wooden showed up at the University of Redlands as part of a Convocation Series. This piece on Tom Flores was another one. Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins, former NBA player John Block, legendary high school coach Willie West showed up. There are others. Cazzie Russell, for instance, came to Redlands with an NCAA Division III basketball team from Savannah, Ga. Russell, out of Michigan, was the NBA's overall No. 1 draft pick by the New York Knicks in 1966.
Today's feature: None other than Cazzie Russell.
Truth is, there aren't many NBA No. 1 draft choices that pass through Redlands.
Not just a No. 1 draft pick. We're talking No. 1 overall.
Truth be told, Shaquille O'Neal showed up at the University of Redlands to film a commercial. Model Cindy Crawford was on that scene, too. It had been written up in the local press — nothing much to it.
Cazzie Russell comes to mind.
The Chicago native was a three-time All-American at Michigan in the mid-1960s.
At 54 years of age, Russell was coaching Savannah (Ga.) College of Arts & Design (SCAD).
In December 1998, SCAD came out west for a three-game trip to play Westmont College (near Santa Barbara), Univ. La Verne and Univ. Redlands.
"This school was founded in 1979 with 71 students, said Russell, "and a credit card."
By 1998, it had grown to a campus of 4,000 students.
At the time of his hiring, SCAD's Chairman of the Board was none other than Dr. Bernie Casey, who had been an NFL All-Pro receiver. Onetime major league pitching hero Luis Tiant was the school's baseball coach.
As for Russell, hoops fans might recall that 6-foot-5 pure shooter who helped lead the Wolverines to the 1964 and 1965 Final Four, losing in the 1966 Regionals to eventual finalist Kentucky. A short time later, the New York Knicks made Russell the No. 1 pick.
Cazzie Russell, a No. 1 overall draft pick by the New York Knicks in 1966, coached a small college team from the visitor's bench in 1998 at the University of Redlands (photo by Savannah College of Art & Design).
Thirty years later, including an NBA title in 1970 — Knicks over the Lakers — Russell was sitting in an Ontario hotel, the midway point between La Verne and Redlands.
"I love coaching here," he says. "Nobody expects anything from us. We're a bunch of cartoonists, graphic designers, architects. We come into another school's gym and they're thinking they've got us.
"When the get us on the court, we fool 'em."
Someone else could write the connections between Russell had with a variety of NBA legends, including teammates though plenty of opponents that included Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, Willis Reed and Walt Frazier, Nate Thurmond and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson and John Havlicek.
"I just saw Oscar two or three weeks ago," said Russell. "I remember when he came to my high school and tried to get me to go to Cincinnati, his old school."
Russell was traded by the Knicks to the San Francisco Warriors for legendary rebounder Jerry Lucas in 1971.
Three decades later at SCAD, Russell laid the groundwork for recruiting, basketball, getting his team a chance for an education at an NCAA Division 3 institution.
No one sees us at practice, he says. "We're working on defense, shooting, fundamentals … just like everyone else, I suppose."
At SCAD, Russell's recruits are playing for a former No. 1 draft pick, a onetime NBA champion who played against the best basketball players in the world.
"A lot of kids are in awe of the fact that I was drafted No. 1," he said.
Teaching those fundamentals at practice, he said, "is like trying to introduce them to a new cereal."
That list of overall number one picks — O'Neal, Kareem, Robertson, Baylor, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Elvin Hayes or Bill Walton — does NOT include Michael Jordan or Chamberlain, Russell or Karl Malone.
Russell's in rare company.
Joked Russell: "I don't want to get into the difference in the amount of money we made then and what they make now."
During his post-playing career, Russell coached at every level — high school, CBA, assistant in the NBA, collegiately in both NAIA and NCAA — before settling in at SCAD.
In its three-game swing out west in 1998, the Bees swept Westmont, La Verne and Redlands.
It seemed strange to see Russell seated on the bench as SCAD warmup up to play the Bulldogs inside Currier Gymnasium on that December 16, 1998 night.
It was a far cry from the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum when, playing for the Warriors, the smooth-shooting Russell was swishing shots in a rare win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Averaging 15 points a game over a 10-year career, Russell not only played in the New York and Golden State, but also the Lakers and Chicago Bulls. When the Lakers signed him away from the Warriors, according to the rules of the day, Russell's former team received draft compensation.
That pick turned out to be Robert Parrish, the 7-foot center later traded by the Warriors to the Boston Celtics.
As for SCAD basketball, Russell's coaching career in Savannah lasted 13 seasons. The school cancelled the sport in 2009.
Russell was as well-versed in spiritual necessities as he was setting up a jump shot. He seemed to make as much joy in reporting that God was a huge factor in his life.
"If God is first in your life," he told me, "then you're going to be successful. I'm not talking about making money. I'm talking about faith in everything you do.
You can run from God, he said, "but you can't hide. When I decided I was going to be obedient in 1989, it was the best thing I ever did."
"I've got no plans to leave."

Media are all around us, influencing how we think, how we interpret our social environment and how we conduct our everyday lives. The world comes to us through television, film, the web, new/social media platforms and mobile devices.
The Department of Communication, Media and Film (CMF) offers students the opportunity to develop the conceptual and critical skills necessary to interpret our media-saturated world and the significant changes engendered by rapidly developing communication technologies.
Our students are also engaged as producers, as "meaning-makers," through an array of "hands-on" courses that allow students to produce their own stories about their experiences and communities in a variety of media formats using industry standard equipment and software. In fact, Communication, Media and Film at the University of Windsor is one of the few programs in Canada that combines a social science, theory-based format with digital media production.
As students in Communication, Media and Film, you are at the centre of exploring some of the most dynamic changes in the media environment and the cultural, social, economic and political implications of technological developments and innovations.
We encourage you to browse our website to learn more about our courses, our state-of-the- art production facilities, paths of study, internships, alumni profiles and career tracks.

It has been inspiring to see Pike13 customers step up to the challenge of COVID-19 and adjust to running business through online means. We're committed to helping you by building features that adapt Pike13 software to these uncertain times. We're rolling out new features, enhancements and tools specifically designed to help your business adjust to today's climate.
I am a swim coach at a very successful Swim School. We have hundreds of clients who are scheduling several hundred lessons a week in three locations with over 20 coaches. That would be a scheduling NIGHTMARE for a front desk staff. With Pike13, we are able to provide a polished website and portal where families can register for and schedule their own lessons.
Casey Brown | Swim Coach
We switched to Pike13 about 4 years ago after having some issues with three other CRM's. It has been one of the best business decisions we have made in our 7+ years of being open. They might not always have a perfect answer, but they genuinely care about what we have to say and they are constantly working on upgrades and improvements to the software. I can't see us ever using another software for our membership and billing needs.
Peter Brasovan | Owner
The team at Pike13 not only got me on track with set-up and implementing the software into my business, but also continued with solid customer support moving forward. They've always worked to improve their product as new technologies come out, and really listen to client needs/wants when it comes to business reporting and features for clients.
Josh Nimmo | Owner
Pike13 has allowed me to grow from scratch to over 2,000 clients and has performed equally well every step of the way. It seamlessly integrates with my credit card capture system and makes reporting simple, and also helps notify me of any issue I may need to deal with.

The Day of Archaeology coincided with the final day of the Woking Palace Archaeology Project. We are in our final season of a three year project which has seen us discover more about this fascinating site. To find out more see: Friends of Woking Palace
For the 2011 season we have opened up three areas: Trench 12 to look at the kitchens, Trench 13 to look at the gatehouse and Trench 14 to investigate buildings to the north of the site, possibly the chapel for the Palace or a later kitchen area connected to the Great Hall (part of its walls were uncovered in the 2009 season).
Trench 14 was excavated by members of the public taking part in archaeology for the first time as part of the 'Dig for a Day' scheme. This year we have had over 160 local people taking part in the dig, including local groups such as Woking Brownies, and the U3A.
The last day of public participation was on Thursday 28th, and by this time both Trenches 12 and 13 had been completed. However, there was still plenty to do in Trench 14, so it was all hands to the trench to finish excavating and tidy the site for photos at lunch. The team on the Day of Archaeology mainly consisted of members of the Surrey Archaeological Society and Friends of Woking Palace who have supported the project throughout.
A video-blog has been created of the dig in progress: Woking Palace Video Blogs
The Woking Palace Archaeology Project is a collaborative partnership project involving and supported by Woking Borough Council, Surrey County Council, Surrey Archaeological Society, the Friends of Woking Palace, Heritage Enterprise (Surrey County Archaeological Unit), Archaeology South-East, Quest (University of Reading), and the University of Nottingham.

Notes from a day in baseball:
• 1. We Would Have Said Juan Marichal and Sandy Koufax, But Whatever .... Greg Maddux and Jason Schmidt went old school on Sunday, with the Dodgers finally beating the Giants in 10, 1-0, on Russell Martin's leadoff homer. It's not often that the names of classic 1960s pitchers are invoked in connection with the current NL West (like, never), but Giants manager Felipe Alou gets a free pass after this one. "It was a classic Dodger-Giant duel," Alou told AP. "It could have been Jack Sanford and Don Drysdale." You know, it's quite possible Alou thinks his team won. Maddux and Schmidt each threw eight shutout innings, the former allowing only two hits. LA has won 15 of its past 16, after a 1-13 start following the All-Star break. As for the Giants, well, those records are sealed.
• 2. Juiced. Get ready for the Travis Hafner Special at Denny's; he has equaled Don Mattingly's single-season record for grand slams with six. It came during Cleveland's 11-run first inning in a 13-0 win over the Royals.
• 3. Dream Weaver, Can You Help Me Make It Through The Night?. Sorry to spoil Jered Weaver's high, but we're going to have to say "Livan Hernandez" right now. Weaver became the first pitcher since you-know-who in 1997 to win his first eight decisions, throwing a six-inning three-hitter as the Angels claimed a 5-3 win at Yankee Stadium. Hey, isn't that the same Yankee Stadium where a certain Jeff Weaver once toiled, mostly in vain?
• 4. Our Sincerest Apologies, Detroit. Well, the Tigers aren't "suddenly slumping" anymore. We're afraid we jinxed them last week when we called the AL Central race in their favor. Sorry. We had vowed never to violate the Prime Directive and meddle in your affairs. The White Sox won 7-3, to take a three-game sweep and come within 5 1/2 games of first-place Detroit.
• 5. Time For Your BoSox Injection. Hey, another grand slam! Mike Lowell slammed, and then dazzled, to help the Red Sox to an 11-9 win over Baltimore, drawing Boston within one game of the first-place Yankees in the AL East. Lowell, playing third, made a great backhand play to throw out Melvin Mora for the game's final out. Lowell hit a grand slam in the first.

Infrastructure & Technology
Nothing more visibly reveals the failure of Washington than the crumbling roads, bridges, and infrastructure that dot America's landscape. Instead of putting people to work, fragmented and unpredictable federal approval processes drag on for years and sometimes decades. It's time to lighten the federal touch, provide clear rules of the road for new technologies, and empower communities to modernize this archaic system.

Mula bandha is one of the three "locks" used in hatha yoga to locally contain the flow of energy or prana. The three bandhas are typically used in advanced pranayama, but mula bandha can also be effectively employed in asana practice. Mula bandha can be performed in a physical and external manner engaging the skeletal muscles; it can also be felt as a subtle and internal energetic process. Mula bandha should be practiced individually at first, and then it can be incorporated with the other bandhas, asanas, pranayamas and eventually mudras.
To engage mula bandha, exhale and contract the muscles between the pubic bone and the tailbone, pulling the perineum up in towards the abdomen. As you pull the pelvic floor up, feel the lower deep abdominal muscles engage and pull towards the spine. Initially you will need to contract the anus and the genitals, but over time work on relaxing these areas and isolate the perineum (the space between the anus and genitals). Mula bandha can be engaged from 15 to 100 percent of the contraction and can either be held for as long as possible or used by rhythmically engaging and releasing the contraction with the breath. Do not strain while holding, or hold the breath in or out when engaging mula bandha.
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
Using mula bandha with yoga postures has many benefits. It helps build core body strength, enables you to hold the postures longer, protects the low back muscles and makes the postures safer. Mula bandha also increases your energy and vitality, and improves concentration and mental clarity. Using mula bandha to support the asana from your core body allows the distal muscles to relax, enabling the body to use less energy to hold the posture.
While using mula bandha with asana can increase core stability, it can only be fully engaged when the spine is straight and long. It is also difficult to feel and experience the energetic effects of this bandha when done with yoga postures, so it is recommended to first practice mula bandha in a seated meditation pose (Accomplished Pose, Easy Pose, Half Lotus, Hero, Gracious Pose).

Roger Federer -- 'I Have Nothing to Hide'
Tennis superstar Roger Federer is lashing out at allegations that he gave inside information about his matches so the president of his management company could place bets ... saying the whole thing is "100% not true."
TMZ broke the story ... Agate Printing, Inc. filed a lawsuit against IMG and its owner, Ted Forstmann, claiming Federer gave Forstmann information about a match he played in at the 2007 French Open ... and Forstmann later used the information to make a $40,000 wager on Roger.
But moments ago -- at a press conference during an event in China -- Federer said, "It's disappointing that someone's throwing my name around. I would never do such a thing."
Federer continued, "My fans know that, the people who know me ... I have nothing to hide. I'm sorry for those who think there is something to the story. But there's nothing."

text: The origin of British India can be traced to warfare in 18th-century Europe and India, trade-related conflicts and disputes, and the East India Company's business model. The state that emerged from these roots survived by reforming the institutions of capitalism, military strategy, and political strategy. As the 19th century unfolded and its power became paramount, the Company evolved from a trading firm to a protector of trade. The rapid growth of the three port cities where Indo-European trade and naval power was concentrated exemplifies that commitment. But beyond maintaining an army and protecting trade routes, the state remained limited in its reach.

Liam Neeson proved once again he's an action all-star at the global box office, with Fox and EuropaCorp's debutante "Taken 2" collecting $104.7 million worldwide over the Oct. 3-7 sesh, including $55.3 million overseas.
Fox handled distribution for "Taken 2" in 28 overseas markets, including the U.K. and Australia, while producer Luc Besson's EuropaCorp released the pic in France and Russia, as well as 20 other territories (with the EuropaCorp-distribbed areas contributing $15.7 million.)
The sequel outperformed its 2009 predecessor in most major markets.
Blighty led the weekend charge, with an impressive $11.9 million, including previews, more than the entire $11 million local cume for the first "Taken." Australia contributed $8.1 million, marking the biggest Fox opening in Oz so far this year.
In France, the sequel earned $8.4 million, while in Russia, the film took in a reserved $1.9 million.
Taking advantage of a prime counterprogramming opportunity, Paramount kick-started the release for DreamWorks Animation's "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" in Germany, with a stellar $15.4 million. The toon's Teuton bow comes a week before "Taken" launches in the territory.
"Madagascar 3" grossed $22.2 million in its 18th overseas frame, boosting its international cume to an animated $451 million. The three-quel now stands as the franchise's highest-grossing installment worldwide ($667 million), surpassing the 2008 sequel ($423 million globally).
"Madagascar 3" finishes its global journey with an Oct. 19 U.K. bow.
"Taken 2" opens in 11 markets starting Oct. 11, including Germany, India and Italy.

The White House budget released Monday includes a number of ideas for lowering the cost of prescription drugs:
- Passing on discounts and rebates negotiated by pharmacy benefit managers to seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D. Seniors would see out-of-pocket savings, but insurers could hike their premiums.
- Reducing Medicare Part B reimbursements for drugs administered in a hospital.
- Switching reimbursement for some drugs administered in doctor's offices or hospitals and paid for under Medicare Part B to Medicare Part D, allowing the price of those drugs to be negotiated.
- Capping out-of-pocket costs for Medicare beneficiaries affected by the insurance program's coverage gap, and ensuring that low-income seniors in Medicare don't pay for generic drugs.
- Creating a pilot project that gives up to five states the ability to band together and negotiate Medicaid drug prices with manufacturers and provides greater flexibility to the states in choosing which drug would be included in their formularies.
The bottom line: The budget proposals, which come days after the White House Council of Economic Advisers issued a report about lowering drug prices, suggest that the administration may be starting to focus on keeping President Trump's oft-repeated promise to bring drug prices "way down." The election-year timing may add some political incentive to make progress on the issue.
The proposals involve some difficult tradeoffs. Some Medicare beneficiaries would likely face higher prices, but those who now pay the most overall for their drugs could save thousands of dollars annually. Still, Allan Coukell, senior director of health programs at the Pew Charitable Trusts, told Kaiser Health News that while several of the proposals have price-lowering potential, "none of it changes the overall trajectory" of prescription prices.

Discussion 1 Timeline
Mar 18-23rd
The 8th World Water Forum will have Water for Sustainable Development as one of its central themes, focusing on water for human activities and the role of water use in different sectors and in countries' development. In order to reach that, four topics have been set to comprise the debate questions under Development. The following topics should split into Thematic Sessions and other debate stages during the 8th World Water Forum in 2018:
- Water, energy and food security nexus (Water for food/ Water for energy)
- Inclusive and sustainable growth, water stewardship and industry
- Efficient use of surface water and groundwater - urban and rural
- Infrastructure for sustainable water resource management and services
Considering the above topics about Development:
- What are the major challenges under each topic that concern civil society and communities and need to be raised for debate during the 8th World Water Forum?
- How those challenges apply to problems in your city, community or neighbouring surroundings?
Your feedback will support the organization instances of the Forum in the definition of Thematic Sessions and other opportunities for debate during the event.

Dear Shashidhar, many thanks for your valuable and interesting post. I think this is a very important area namely the use of technology and in particular software systems to manage the water allocation in large irrigation systems. If I understad you correct, I think the model you are refering to has had a lot of success especially good buy-in from the farmers. It would be really good if you can list some of the key reasons for it's success for example why and how have the farmers benefited from this tool compared to perhaps any other tool you may know of or even that has been tried and tested in this irrigation system in the past. I think this information will be very valuable to take...Read more

The topic "Infrastructure for sustainable water resource management and services" is of interest to us here in Uganda and Africa in general. Alot of the agricutre in Uganda is rain-fed and is done by small holder farmers (farmers with land acrage less than 4 acres). Climate change and drought have increasingly posed challenges to our small holder farmers. We could learn alot from the South American experience on irrigation infrastructure, water schemes and water storgae infrastructure e.g dams etc to support growth and productivity in agriculture. Agriculure in my country employs over 75% of the population, and more than 80% of this agricultrue is done on small holder farms....Read more

Globally, the vast majority of all the wastewater from our homes, cities, industry and agriculture flows back to nature without being treated or reused – polluting the environment, and losing valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials.
Instead of wasting wastewater, we need to reduce and reuse it. In our homes, we can reuse greywater on our gardens and plots. In our cities, we can treat and reuse wastewater for green spaces. In industry and agriculture, we can treat and recycle discharge for things like cooling systems and irrigation.
Daniela Cestarollo replied:
Hi Ghislaine ! Thank you very much for your input. In Brazil, a lot of people in cities are already aware of how essential it is water recycling and reuse. Many households recycle their wastewater for watering gardens and/or flushing toilets.Yet, these small initiatives are not enough. We need further commitment from governments and educational campaigns on the cost of water for society as a whole.

Thanks Lijie for that very interesting comment. This is a very important issue you have touched on namely how one needs to be mindful of "Sustainability" of a resource as a country or community develops. And so yes, the "Water" resource often is the sector which suffers both in terms of quality and quantity and hence this theme at the 8th WWF to address "Sustainability" issues of Water. It would be good to hear from you a few specific examples as to what the authorities are doing to mitigate or control this for example with success stories if any. If not presumably the discussion can be focused on hearing success stories from other regions to move forward the discussion....Read more

The world of Android music is about to get flipped upside down.
We've been hearing about Google's plans to launch a cloud-based music service for some time now -- heck, Google itself gave us a peek at the plans during its I/O conference in May. (The news was largely overshadowed by word of the Android 2.2 upgrade, which was announced at the same event.) If the latest rumors prove true, the Android-centric song system could debut within the next few months.
If you happen to be a competing executive who owns way too many turtlenecks, this is probably cause for concern.
[Get Android Power delivered. Follow @AndroidPower on Twitter or subscribe via RSS today.]
Get Ready for Google Music
The most recent Google music rumors come courtesy of Reuters, which reports that Google is deep in talks with record labels and planning to launch a "download store and digital song locker" by the upcoming holiday season. The labels, according to Reuters, have become increasingly troubled by Apple's level of control over digital music and are excited to see a true contender emerge.
"Finally here's an entity with the reach, resources and wherewithal to take on iTunes as a formidable competitor by tying it into search and [the] Android mobile platform," an unnamed exec is quoted as saying.
Previous reports have suggested Google's music service -- expected to be named Google Music -- could launch by this winter or early next year.
Google Music and Android
So what would Google Music do for Android? A lot. Let's face it: For all of Android's strengths, a simple and user-friendly music management system has always been something that's evaded the platform.
Don't get me wrong: The freedom from being tied to a proprietary tool is fantastic -- especially when that tool is a bloated and locked-down piece of junk (cough, cough, iTunes). The ability to drag and drop files onto your phone like a flash drive is invaluable, too. But if you want an easy way to manage playlists and sync music, your options are rather limited. DoubleTwist gets the job done, but it isn't exactly the most elegant or full-featured solution. And if you're new to Android, it can be tough to figure out where to begin.
Google Music could change all of that. First, the service will introduce a more intuitive way of buying music: From what the Android team has described, Google Music will be integrated right into the Android Market. You'll click on songs on your PC, and within seconds, they'll be sent to your phone over-the-air. This purchasing system will likely also be available in some form through regular Google Web searches.
Purchasing aside, the upcoming Android music service will allow you to stream songs from your PC directly to your phone -- no downloads required. Thanks to Google's acquisition of a company called Simplify Media, you'll be able to access your entire music library without having to store a single MP3 file on your device.
Those two features combined will give Android a powerful new edge in the realm of mobile music. If Google is smart, it'll build functions for importing existing music and managing playlists into these tools as well. All put together, it could mark the beginning of a robust and intuitive music management system for Android.
Of course, none of this would prevent you from using a third-party alternative or copying music to your phone manually -- hey, we aren't talking about Apple here. But for users who want a simple, one-stop solution, it'd offer a hassle- and confusion-free way of getting everything accomplished. And you've gotta admit, the cloud-based downloading and streaming sound pretty damn cool.
Android has undoubtedly been a work in progress. Since the launch of that first Android phone nearly two years ago, the platform has grown in leaps and bounds, filling in the gaps and adding in more power and flexibility with each passing turn.
Get ready, Android fans. The next piece of the puzzle is about to fall into place.
