I'd rather err on the side of having murders and rapes go unsolved, rather than err on the side of police having everyone's DNA sequences.
Why? Not trolling, but it seems to me that if everyone's DNA were on record the crime rates would drop through the floor.
Maybe I feel this way because a good friend of mine was raped a few years ago, and if all DNA were recorded the asshole who did that to her would probably be rotting in jail right now.
There is no end to the amount of crimes that could be prevented or solved if only we were ready to embrace draconian governmental invasions of our privacy and restrictions on our freedom of choice. Do you realize that if we only had laws forbidding women from traveling alone in public without being escorted by a male relative how many rapes we might prevent each year?
Not trolling, but it seems to me that if everyone's DNA were on record the crime rates would drop through the floor.
You'd think so, wouldn't you. But if you read the summary, the guy in question volunteered his own DNA which came back as a 100% match. Most criminals aren't that smart. They frequently believe they won't get caught - if they even think about it at all.
Having sentencing that is intended to be a deterrent - up to and including the death sentence in some states - doesn't stop people from trying to get away with murder.
People committing assault/rape/murder are rarely thinking with their rational brain when t
"You can volunteer your DNA to eliminate yourself as a suspect, and eliminate the need of SWAT kicking down your door to get the DNA."
If government is involved, there is no "volunteering". The threat of physical force is ALWAYS present with government, no matter how far under the carpet they sweep it, or how much smokescreen they blow in front of it.
I don't know about their government but what I do know is that our government would store that DNA data forever. Not only that but they would share this DNA data with anyone, possibly including Insurance companies, and private corporations. Finally the last straw is that even if they don't just give the data away they will not take any consideration to secure the data.
This is why we don't want the NYC government getting the data.
actually, no - it's interesting to see what actual happens, because the question is - how/why does this DNA match actually matter?
It's nearly as impossible to associate DNA at a crime scene with an individual being actually involved without further proof - otherwise this is in the same category as trying to assign an IP address to an individual.
You should find it scary. The odds of a false positive are probably much higher.
The DNA database in the US has found matches between a black man and a white man if you point it at itself. They only look at about 12 spots and sometimes use just 9 to identify someone.
"903 pairs of profiles matching at nine or more loci in a database of about 220,000.

It is interesting to see the different attitudes toward volunteering information to the government. If NYC asked something like this, it would be an outrage and participation would be roughly 1% if it moved forward at all.
Have you any evidence to support that assertion or do you simply think that these are the words the geek wants to hear?
"As it turned out, the man now in custody turned in his own DNA, resulting in a 100% match."
If he was really the guy who did it: Was he wondering whether the DNA-research would work? Why not just turn himself in?
If 96% of people had done it the social pressure might have been insurmountable. He might have figured if he was the only person in the village who didn't give DNA the police would investigate him and find him anyway, so he might as well give the DNA, hope that there would be a mistake, or hope that he could claim "If it was me, then why did I give them my DNA?"
That's why the US has the fifth amendment (and why a right against self-incrimination is a good idea in general). Not turning in DNA is not probable cause for an investigation, and if that is why they started investigating him, the case would have a high chance of being thrown out (of course, the family DNA might be enough to establish an investigation). I'm not sure what the law is on this in the Netherlands.
That's why the US has the fifth amendment (and why a right against self-incrimination is a good idea in general).
Please elaborate on how this is a good thing, because I'm really confused about it. To me it sounds like, the police finally found a way to identify a murderer, but then this 5th amendment thingy comes in and it gets thrown out on a technicality. What's good about that?

I've read the Wikipedia entry about the self-incrimination aspect of it, to prevent confessions obtained under torture for example. But that's a far cry from what we have in this case.
The relevant Fifth Amendment [wikipedia.org] protection reads:
...nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself,
US courts have ruled that a criminal suspect/defendant may not refuse DNA testing based on their Fifth Amendment rights. However, the Fourth Amendment [wikipedia.org] requires a warrant issued by a judge before a "search" can be performed.
US courts have ruled that (except for convicted felons and other narrow exceptions) police must obtain a warrant before coercing someone to give up a DNA sample.
Not turning in DNA is not probable cause for an investigation
Is "being the only remaining suspect living in the area" cause enough? Also, there's plenty of investigating that can be done without probable cause or a search warrant.
The "didn't turn in DNA" part is not necessary part of the evidence.
It narrows down the list of suspects, if only one doesn't give DNA the investigation can focus on that individual. If that person is indeed the culprit, there is a very good chance that other evidence is found, directly incriminating the person, and with enough evidence search warrants may be received for more detailed searches. If he is not the culprit, there will be no such evidence.
That's why the US has the fifth amendment (and why a right against self-incrimination is a good idea in general).
In US law, the privilege against self-incrimination is ultimately rooted as a barrier against the use of isolation, intimidation and torture to extract confessions.
There is much you cannot be forced to say.
But very few barriers to the physical evidence you may be compelled to surrender.
I am not convinced that, under US law the barrier to launching an investigation against a particular person is anywhere near as high as that needed to support a search and seizure.
The guy had a wife and child. If your wife starts saying "Hey you should do this" it's probably hard to say no to her, even if you know it'll result in doom
If he had a wife like that, he probably did it because it would result in him being arrested.
The DNA matched DNA found on a cigarette lighter found in her schoolbag - not DNA from the rape itself apparently. It's possible in my mind that the guy is innocent of rape\murder and guilty of selling a schoolgirl a lighter or her guilty of stealing it. More details need to come out, this isn't "solved" in my mind unless they have DNA evidence from the rape itself that matches.
That's a VERY important point in this case. People hear "DNA" these days and automatically think "irrefutable evidence." But in this case, it's just further evidence--NOT ironclad proof of guilt.
The DNA matched DNA found on a cigarette lighter found in her schoolbag - not DNA from the rape itself apparently.
The DNA on the lighter matched DNA from the rape itself. The importance of the lighter is that it was sold during the time of the rape in that narrow area - placing the rapist as a resident of that area at the time, and giving high probability that a scan of all the residents would strongly indicate who the attacker was. If the lighter wasn't found, this search couldn't be justified as the rapist could come from anywhere.
The DNA matched DNA found on a cigarette lighter found in her schoolbag - not DNA from the rape itself apparently
.... More details need to come out, this isn't "solved" in my mind unless they have DNA evidence from the rape itself that matches.
Especially when they're admittedly going on a fishing expedition through the entire town. There is no doubt that there would be other peoples DNA on her personal belongings. Probably several peoples DNA from various places. This is exactly the kind of thing people a
Even if it were DNA from the rape, I would have my doubts about their claimed "100%" number. Let's say it's really "only" 99.99%; they have 8000 samples, what are the odds that someone will match? Then you through in the fact that the 99.99% probably includes a truly random sample, which a small town is most assuredly not, and the odds of finding a false positive increase even more.
According to TFA, the lighter had DNA that matched trace collected from the girl's body. The lighter is significant because it was being sold in the area at the time of the crime, meaning that the murderer was likely local and not from abroad. This was what motivated the mass DNA testing - it was no longer a shot in the dark.
No, that's patently incorrect. The article (which I read, shame on me) makes it clear that the DNA on the cigarette lighter matches DNA present on the body of the victim:
The decision to launch the dna appeal came after De Vries in May broadcast information about a Playboy cigarette lighter found in Vaatstra's bag which contains dna traces that match the traces found on the schoolgirl's body.
More or less, they found DNA on her body, but had no immediate reason to suspect it was from someone nearby. When they found the same DNA on the cigarette lighter and were able to determine that the cigarette lighter was on sale in that area around the date that the rape/murder occurred, they thought they had reason to suspect a local individual was involved. That's what led to the DNA dragnet.
I do agree that police need to be careful with DNA evidence and not use it as proof of guilt where it implies no such thing, but that does not seem to be the case here.
"As it turned out, the man now in custody turned in his own DNA, resulting in a 100% match."
If he was really the guy who did it: Was he wondering whether the DNA-research would work? Why not just turn himself in?
It was a cold case. Maybe he forgot he was involved in a murder in the first place.
"Oh, that murder case! I forgot all about that one...
I don't like the idea of DNA dragnets.
Just because I'm a male within 5km of a rape does not mean I should be required to give up my DNA.
First, who owns it? Does it get destroyed? Do I trust government to do that competently? No: it will be sold to the highest bidder.
Second, am I coerced into doing this? Will they shame me publicly for not giving up my DNA?
Finally, who else knows about it? Is my health insurance going up because they've found I'm susceptible to lung cancer or AIDS? What if there's a way to tell if I'm gay or prone to alcoholism (hic)?
There's got to be a better way to solve these rapes than asking all of us to give up private information at the threat of arrest.
Assuming you're referring to this article in particular, let me define the most important word in the summary.
Noun: A person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task.
Verb: Freely offer to do something
If you're referring to some possible future event that may or may not happen and is vaguely related to this, then please disregard.
But when does it stop being voluntary? It's voluntary now. But a few cases like this will make it very tempting for lawmakers to move to the next level (making it mandatory for particular areas in particular investigations). And from there, to making it mandatory for the entire citizenry. And from there, to including scans for potential diseases in the database (for the public health, of course). And from there, to insurance companies wanting access to that info....and so on. Pretty soon you could be in a Gattaca [wikipedia.org] type situation.
Not saying this is going to happen, or that one step necessarily has to follow from the previous. But you have to understand why this particular slippery slope makes a LOT of people VERY nervous.
Yes, yes, you can copy and paste from a dictionary too.
This is no more compulsion than saying "I'll pay you $5 to mow my lawn" compels you to do break out the lawn mower.
Anyone could have said "No thanks" and that would have been the end of it, so no, definition 2 does not fit.
Who said anything about being it being required?
Did you not notice the less 100% participation rate in the summary?
This was totally voluntary. If you do not like their answers to your questions you don't give it. Now stop karma whoring and read the fine article.
(in addition to the identical twin comments), the change of collision drastically changes depending of the type of DNA comparison test being performed. Usually this is a function of how many allele's they are testing for.
It seems rather unlikely to me that if you committed a crime you would volunteer into giving your DNA in this sort of style. Was it a full match or just based on a few key metrics, which seems the most common form of testing? It could be family of him, for instance.
And since the sample was found on a lighter in her bag, "consensual relations" here might mean, "Hey, mister, got a light?" "Sure, keep it." He might be guilty of abetting under-age smoking, nothing more.
The makers guaranteed that the rate of false positives was only one in 8000.
Everybody in the Dutch talks as if the man is convicted already. He's not. The case is not solved until a judge has had the last word, and given the inaccuracies in DNA matching I'm very interested in what a judge has to say about this.
Everybody in the Dutch talks as if the man is convicted already.
This is the news article from the major Dutch online newspaper. Put it through Google translate if you don't trust my translations:
nu.nl [www.nu.nl]
AMSTERDAM - A suspect has been apprehended in the 'Marianne Vaatstra' case. The Procesution Councel (PC) confirmed it this monday morning.
The Justice dept. will not reveal any details for now. The PC and Frysian police force will hold a press conference 18:00 CET in Drachten.
The Dutch Forensics Institution (NFI) is currently performing a minute double-check of the identity of the suspect.
"For both PC and police force it's of major concern we only submit an official statement to the press when it's certain the identity of the suspect is confirmed without question by the NFI."
Moreover [the spokeswoman of the PC] emphasizes DNA will 'never be enough', "there always will need to be more evidence".
In Sweden we have the PKU-registry. Anyone born after 1975 has a DNA sample taken from them at birth, however it can only be used for your own treatment, identification of remains or research. So far they have kept their part of the promise of not letting it be used for criminal prosecution. Even tho as some would like it to be included in tools available for the police.
I haven't RTFA, but from the summary, this sounds like a textbook example of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor's_fallacy [wikipedia.org], which is a special case of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy [wikipedia.org]
If you have a suspect in hand, then DNA evidence can be pretty compelling. But when you comb through the population trying to find a suspect using DNA evidence, then you're walking straight into a miscarriage of justice.
No mod points today, but it sounds like you're right. Deep link to specific example that sounds exactly like this case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor's_fallacy#Multiple_testing [wikipedia.org]
There are a few more details that make the Prosecutor's Fallacy less applicable to this situation. First, they are looking at a relatively small population, so the odds of two unrelated matches is lower than if you were scanning a database of millions of profiles. Second, they have a pretty complete picture of the population that they are searching, so duplicate matches can be investigated. Third, this is all just evidence at this point - the trial is yet to be carried out. Assuming that a miscarriage of justice is going to occur because large quantities of DNA evidence was used seems a bit harsh for this early in the game.

NEW YORK (AP)—Richard Gasquet overcame a match point and 39 aces from big-serving Milos Raonic to make his second Grand Slam quarterfinal with a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (9), 7-5 victory Monday night.
No. 8 Gasquet came in with a 1-15 record in Grand Slam fourth-round matches. He'll face fourth-seeded David Ferrer in the quarterfinals.
No. 10 Raonic's 39 aces were third most in U.S. Open history. He had match point at 8-7 in the fourth-set tiebreaker, but Gasquet came to the net and Raonic couldn't get a passing shot by him. The match went 4 hours, 40 minutes on a steamy night in New York.
Gasquet's only previous fourth-round victory in a Grand Slam came at Wimbledon in 2007. He had lost 10 straight fourth-rounders since.

Re: Dependency based boot
Which version of OSS are you using (you can see this in "ossinfo" output)? IIRC, OSS v4.2 should have the LSB tags in the oss init script... If you're not using it, you can install the new version or copy the init script from the mercurial repo and use it with the older version (no real changes other than that addition).

Amazon Announces Sharp Drop in Profits -- Finspreads
By: Marketwired .
Jan. 30, 2013 05:49 AM
LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Finspreads: Online retail giant Amazon has announced a sharp fall in profits in its latest quarterly figures.
Net income for the last three months of 2012 stood at $97 million (£61.5 million), a sharp drop compared to the $177 million figure notched up during the same period in 2011.
The retreat in profits came despite an increase in revenue, which was up 22 per cent from $17.43 billion to $21.27 billion.
Jeff Bezos, founder and chief executive, says the figures are a cause for optimism.
He said: "We're now seeing the transition we've been expecting.
"After five years, e-books is a multi-billion dollar category for us and growing fast -- up approximately 70 per cent last year."
Amazon's shares on the Nasdaq slipped during trading yesterday January (29th), falling by 5.68 per cent.
But investors seemed to show more faith in the company during after-hours trading, with Amazon's shares shooting up by 8.91 per cent.
Some analysts have attributed the company's rise after the bell to its 56 per cent increase in operating revenue, which some claim has increased the level of confidence amongst investors.

yes cute - i'm in junior high apparently.
i haven't been reading him as long as i have some of my other favorites but i was quickly hooked with his witty humor, sweet photoshop skills and pinch of self deprecation - oh, and did i mention he was cute?
ok fine, i'll stop with the cute thing. i don't want his princess to come to cleveland and put a restraining order out on me.
the last time that happened it didn't end well....... kidding.
ok enough jibber jabber, time to read a blogger who is way better than me.
who are you and what is your blog?
My "name" is Arjewtino and I blog at Arjewtino.com. My name is a portmanteau (or mishmash, for the unpretentious) of the fact that I was born in Argentina and am Jewish.
See what I did there?
where are you typing from?
Washington, DC. Well, actually a DC suburb in Maryland but that sounds lamer.
I am sitting on my couch at home, wearing pajamas and a blue hoodie, watching a rerun of "Friends", and typing on my five-year-old Dell that Just Won't Die.
how long have you been blogging and what platform do you use?
I have been blogging since July 2006 but hope to retire sometime in the next 50 years. I use Wordpress and don't understand why anyone would use Blogger. Ahem.
sum up your piece of the internet in one sentence.
I have been called a jerkface three separate times by three separate people this week. One of them was my boss.
That sums me up pretty well.
are you an anonymous blogger or do you scream who you are from the rooftop?
I am semi-anonymous, meaning that I post photos of myself but I don't use my real name.
Actually, I just wanted to say "semi".
if you could become famous from blogging like dooce would you want to?
In a heartbeat. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or has much too high self-esteem.
so you just drank a bottle of wine alone and you're sitting at your computer, who are the three bloggers that you email or google talk with?
If I were drinking a bottle of wine alone I wouldn't be blogging, I would be looking for my uterus.
Now, if I were drinking a bottle of whiskey alone, I would probably be bugging Shiftless Badger, ePod, and Josh.
how many blogs are in your google reader?
128. But only 17 of them are sex blogs.
If you had $1000 to spend and could only buy one item, what would you buy?
A Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Len. I love photography and also have a photo blog.
I would use the leftover $500 to visit my grandma in Buenos Aires.
what's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
When I was 10, I was getting undressed in my room and hadn't noticed that two teenage girls could see me through an open window. Naked, I jumped for the window to draw the curtains as they ran away laughing.
More recently, I decided to wear THIS for Halloween.
top three favorite movies from your childhood.
Back to the Future
Annie (what? I had a crush on the girl who played Annie)
you have can only listen to one band/solo artist for the rest of your life, who would it be?
Pearl Jam. I don't care what people think.
name something random that i could find if i was snooping through your purse/wallet?
I am very proud that I carry the thinnest wallet I have ever seen, the anti-George Costanza wallet.
Aside from thousands of dollars in cash, the most random thing in there is probably my dental insurance card. Joke's on them, I don't even use it!
link to a funny you tube video you like.
I like making up new lyrics to established songs, so this video cracks me up everytime.
wanna share a secret with me, i promise i won't tell… <-- that's a lie, but tell me something anyways.
I hate drinking water out of a straw. I think it's disgusting. I try not to tell too many people that. It's pretty controversial.
what's the hardest thing about coming up with something interesting to blog about day after day after day?
Not enough time to write a decent post. My stupid employer expects me to "earn my paycheck" and "not use company computers for personal use".
Blogging would be so much easier without a job.
if you could trade places with one blogger for one day who would it be and why?
When you say "trade places", I imagine inhabiting someone else's body, like Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold did in Vice Versa.
Under that logic, I would "trade places" with White Collar Redneck, for two reasons:
(1) He can grow an awesome beard.
(2) He lives in Cleveland so then I would be able to meet you.
who's your blog crush?
Let me pick two bloggers, one female and one male to make things fair.
My female blogger crush is Smash, who is hysterical, self-deprecating, and unafraid to post embarrassing photos and stories of herself.
My male blogger crush is Ken, who's an amazing photographer who continuously captures impressive photos. He can take the most ordinary situation and make it look incredible. I envy that.
parting words of wisdom?
Always start sentences with "Like I always say..." and you will sound smarter than you really are.
And never be afraid to get absurdly naked for humor.

Mortal Kombat
Guess who?
All of the characters from those early MK games return, in a roster some 27 strong - make that 28 if you happen to have purchased the PS3 version featuring God of War's Kratos as a bonus character. Each has his or her signature special moves as a matter of course, but also additional combos unique to this version. Then there are the brand new 'X-ray' moves which deal out massive damage in classically over-the-top fashion, but more on those later.
Going out in drag
After a few practice fights, just to see if Scorpion still says "Get over here!", the guy who yells "Toasty" after an uppercut still sporadically appears and those fatalities are as unflinchingly gruesome as ever - they are - I opted for the story mode, the genre not exactly being renowned for its storytelling after all.
Happily, NetherRealm, the studio formerly known as Midway Games Chicago, has created what is essentially an interactive movie, the entire canon of Mortal Kombat's original three games told over 16 chapters, each chapter dedicated to a particular character. Sure, it's as hammy as anything produced for cinemas under the franchises' name, but it's not without its charms and the new visual engine depicts all those classic backdrops superbly.
Say, 'freeze'
Series stalwarts might also be pleased to learn that the narrative isn't quite a regurgitation of past games either, rather featuring an alternative timeline in which – upon learning of Earthrealm's impending defeat – Raiden looks to change the future. For fans, the moments of note don't end there either: you'll see warriors Cryax and Sektor in human form – before their transformation into cyber ninjas – and the origins of Kabal, for example.

The IUCN Environmental Law Centre (ELC) - with the support of the IUCN Senior Adviser for Social Policy, as well as individual members of the Commission on Environmental Law (CEL) and the Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) - has launched an interactive, web-based "Rights-Based Approach to Conservation Portal" to promote and encourage rights-based approaches to conservation (RBAs to Conservation).
You can access the RBA Portal at: www.rights-based-approach.org.
Although administered by the ELC, the portal is to be supported by IUCN staff and commission members working on rights-related issues in various contexts. You are welcome to register to become a Portal Member (at www.rights-based-approach.org), and to share your experiences on RBAs to conservation.
While still developing, the Portal is ultimately intended to serve as a clearing-house providing a "one-stop shop" for sharing relevant information and for learning about worldwide initiatives on RBAs to conservation. The Portal aims to enhance synergies, coordination, exchange of experiences, and learning, and in so doing, to support adoption and application of RBAs to conservation. This tool will also contribute to effective implementation of IUCN Resolution 4.056 – Rights based approaches to conservation.[1]

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Republican David Craig introduced Del. Jeannie Haddaway as his running mate for governor on Tuesday, citing her work as a small business owner and Eastern Shore lawmaker experienced in environmental and economic issues.
Craig noted Haddaway's expertise representing residents in a rural part of the state that Republicans say has been too often ignored by the Democratic majority in Annapolis.
"She has seen this unchecked power that we have and this political monopoly that we see all the time and how it's damaged the state and damaged the people of Maryland," Craig said at a news conference in Annapolis outside the Maryland State House. "She wants to change it; so do I."
Haddaway, 36, has been a member of the House of Delegates since she was appointed to the seat in August 2003. She won re-election in 2006 and 2010. Her district includes a large portion of the Eastern Shore, including Talbot County and parts of Caroline, Dorchester and Wicomico counties.
Haddaway, of St. Michaels, said she has spent her political career fighting for lower taxes and a better business climate. She also said she has worked for a greater balance between environmental interests while carefully considering agricultural and commercial fishing interests. A native of the Eastern Shore, her family has worked in agriculture and commercial fishing, and Craig underscored her understanding of rural Maryland and the importance of county and municipal government.
Haddaway also said she believes Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration has gone too far to the left of where most Maryland residents identify themselves in order to pursue political aspirations. O'Malley is considering a potential presidential bid in 2016. Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown is running for governor.
"Over time, the notion that we are supposed to be representatives of the people has been lost on them, and they've allowed their own blind political ambitions to overshadow their judgment about what is best for our state," Haddaway said.
Haddaway and Craig are calling attention to tax increases backed by the O'Malley administration over the years as evidence they have lost touch with difficulties faced by Maryland residents and the needs of businesses.
Haddaway, who has served on the House Economic Matters Committee, said she would play an active role in developing economic development policy. Craig noted she would not be "a silent partner."
"I definitely will be helping David formulate the economic development policies," Haddaway, who owns a small business called Dragonfly Designs, a graphic and web-based design company.
Haddaway held a leadership post for the GOP in the House. She was elected to be the House minority whip in December 2010, and she served in that capacity from 2011 until this year, when House Republicans elected new leadership in April.
Craig's selection was announced as the state is seeing early political activity for a primary that is scheduled for next summer.
Brown announced his running mate, Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, early last month.
Primaries for both parties are on track to be more crowded than in the 2006 or 2010 gubernatorial elections. On the Democratic side, Attorney General Doug Gansler is expected announce his candidacy in September, and Del. Heather Mizeur has been discussing plans to enter the race. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger also is considering a run.
For the GOP, Del. Ron George of Anne Arundel County is running for governor. Michael Steele, the former Republican National Committee chairman and former lieutenant governor of Maryland, also has said he is thinking of entering the race. Brian Vaeth, a retired firefighter from Baltimore County, already has filed to run. Blaine Young, president of the Board of County Commissioners in Frederick County, is considering a run as well.

Nintendo: no DSi phone but maybe a 3G-connected one
Hints at always-on wireless
Posted in Personal Tech, 28th May 2009 10:07 GMT
A Nintendo executive has said that although the console pioneer isn't planning to bolt phone services onto its handheld gaming devices, it may consider expanding its consoles' wireless connectivity features.
"Telephony is not in our wheelhouse," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo America's COO, during a recent briefing with the New York Times. "It's not something I anticipate us getting into."
Rumours have floated around for some time that the firm's considering adding mobile phone functionality to its handheld consoles. But the speculation has never achieved the same headline grabbing status that claims a PlayStation Portable phone is on its way have, and continue to do.
Nintendo's latest handheld – the DSi – can connect to the internet through a Wi-Fi hotspot, but Fils-Aime said Nintendo also sees value in "an always-on connected state".
So could a 3G DSi be under consideration at Nintendo? Fils-Aime's keeping mum, but needless to say that the firm believes that such as device "has value down the road". ®

Principal of Northgate High in Walnut Creek resigns
By Theresa Harrington
Monday, June 30th, 2014 at 12:56 pm in Education, Mt. Diablo school district, Walnut Creek.
I have received the following message from the Northgate HS Parent Faculty Club in Walnut Creek from Principal John McMorris, announcing his resignation.
"Dear Northgate Community,
It is with great regret that I announce to you that I have resigned as principal of Northgate High School.
For six years, it has been my biggest honor and highest accomplishment to be your principal. Together, we have moved Northgate forward and created a strong, collaborative and supportive community between all the stakeholders of our school. We have transformed Northgate into a school that we can all be proud of — Bronco spirit pervades our community; test scores are up; AP classes have increased; football lights shine and a pool is being built; dedicated teachers have been empowered to create dynamic and collaborative professional learning communities; WASC commended us for our outstanding leadership and direction; our athletes perform at the highest levels; our performing arts continue to win awards and recognition; and our students are learning at high levels and are committed and involved in their school. We have a lot to be proud of.
There is still work to be done, and I am confident that the collaboration between students, teachers, staff, administrators and parents will continue to build on our past successes. I know you will continue to fight for the best education for all of the Northgate students.
I have too many people to thank to name them all here. And, frankly, every parent, student, and staff member who has walked through those doors over the last 6 years has helped make Northgate a better place, and I am forever indebted to everyone's hard work, dedication, and support.
As I have said over the past six years, Northgate has the best students I have ever had the privilege to work with. I leave with countless memories of these amazing students. Your children give me great hope for our future!
It has been a great six years to be a Bronco!
Most sincerely,
John McMorris"

In Partnership with Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television and Film Independent:
7:30 PM – Le Damier (The Draughtsmen)
Balufu Bakupa-Kanyinda (Gabon, 1996)
In writer/director Balufu Bayupa-Kanyinda's calm yet absurdist political satire, the situation is established quickly, and continues in a series of scenes that play like sketches, yet each advances the director's attitudes about African politics. We're quickly made aware of the thoughts of the deluded leader–we laugh as soon as the loaded title "President for Life" is dropped–and we hear his ruminations during a one-sided radio interview while the camera tracks across the night of the fictional country Payssien; it ends with a shot of the snarling leader Papa National's face on a flag, the last color image in Le Damier until the very end. The movie plunges into black and white, as the film follows the goings-on in this country the night before the president takes office. A series of checker games with rapidly escalating stakes are staged, while Papa National proclaims his faith in his Prime Minister–before threatening to execute him for the slightest error. Bayupa-Kanyinda uses the paranoia that creeps upon most of us after a sleepless night and magnifies it for comedy–he's as smooth as he is cheeky. – Elvis Mitchell
• Written by Bakupa-Kanyinda. Photographed by Roland Duboze. With Dieudonné Kabongo, Yves Mba, Pascal N'Zonzi, Jean la Croix Kamga (40 min)
Followed by:
Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (Chad, 2013)
The newest film by Chadian writer/director Mahamet-Saleh Haroun, like much of his previous work, is about much more than he allows audience to perceive at the beginning. Ostensibly, his new film tracks the confident young dancer played by Souleymane Deme, who makes his debut as he takes to the floor with the beatific arrogance of a born athlete. Slowly, painstakingly, Grigris takes on much more complexity, dealing with the protagonist's struggle to scrounge a living by dealing in illegal gasoline sales, and his pursuit of another dancer, a young woman who seems as lost and out of place as he is. One of the loveliest and most romantic images in films this year comes when the pair take each other in a romantic embrace; she towers over him and her hands seem to cover his entire upper torso---he beams with delight over the loving mountain he's about to scale. The film's music is by Wasis Diop---part of the Diop dynasty that includes his daughter, director Mati Diop, and his brother, Djibril Diop-Membety.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Lawmakers approved a measure on Monday that would push back the deadline for presidential candidates to file for next year's general election.
The Senate gave final approval to legislation that would ensure Kentuckians have both a Republican and a Democrat to choose from in the presidential race.
The problem was that the Republican National Convention won't wrap up until two days after Kentucky's Sept. 2 election filing deadline, which meant no Republican candidate on the ballot. Lawmakers set the new deadline as Sept. 5.
"We appreciate leaders of the House and Senate putting public policy above what could have been a partisan issue," said Secretary of State Trey Grayson, whose office oversees Kentucky elections. "Their actions will allow presidential candidates from all parties to have access to the ballot so that Kentuckians will have a full range of options of candidates from which to choose the next leader of our nation."
After a nearly two-week break, Kentucky lawmakers returned to the Capitol on Monday for the next-to-last day of the 2007 session with a host of issues still unresolved.
"Lots of things can happen in the next 48 hours," House Speaker Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, told reporters.

South Dakota American Indian Authors Reading List
The following publications are written predominantly by American Indian authors from South Dakota. In a few cases, books were added which non-Indians compiled or Indians outside South Dakota but contained the words or biographies of South Dakota Indian people. Selections were made based upon the compiler's personal knowledge of Indian authors from the state. While most of the books pertain to Indian peoples of the Dakotas, some place them in a broader American Indian context.American Indian Authors (.pdf)

Nearly 40 percent of Colorado residents believe the quality of life in the state is slipping, according to an annual survey.
But just 29 percent of residents think Colorado's quality of life is improving. That's the biggest difference in the "Mind of Colorado" survey's nine-year history.
Results of the annual survey were released Wednesday. They show residents rate the state's quality of life at 7.7, with ten being a perfect score.
Coloradans are most worried about the economy and the drought.
The survey found most people prefer spending cuts to higher taxes. But six in ten people would prefer a temporary tax increase over cuts in service.
The University of Colorado-Denver's Graduate School of Public Affairs surveyed 743 registered voters for the report.
The survey has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

AP Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Marcus Lattimore and his surgically repaired knees are finally on the clock at the NFL draft.
The ex-South Carolina tailback will be in Atlanta with his representatives later this week to find out when, or if, the onetime college star will get selected when the draft starts Thursday.
Lattimore was projected as the first running back off the board and a certain first-rounder before the 2012 season began. But he suffered a second serious knee injury in as many years against Tennessee last October.
Saturday will mark six months since Lattimore dislocated his right knee cap and tore three ligaments. He had surgery in November and then gave up his senior season. He's worked ever since to convince the NFL he's the same first-round talent he was before getting hurt.

John gets tied up, Steve chooses sides, and Trey and Kristina flirt.
Olivia meets Kate and Sonny at home and hugs Kate. Kate tells Olivia that they think Connie is gone, possibly permanently, but they did find out how she came to be. She couldn't handle the rape, but Connie could. Olivia is heartbroken for her. Kate feels if she did not push it down all those years, she would have her son. Kate is ready to go back to work right now. She just wants to put everything Joe Jr. did behind her. Inside, Sonny is on the phone with Jason. If McBain has Joe Jr., he has to get him to Sonny. Kate walks in and he hangs up. He just wants her to heal and is not going to let anyone hurt her.
On the plane, McBain tells Jason he is bringing Joe Jr. back but not if Jason gets there first. Suddenly, the feds approach Jason because he is on the watch list. Jason accuses McBain of being behind it. The verification will take a few hours, so John gets on the plane while the feds do their thing. Jason calls Sonny and the feds finish up while they are on the phone.
Outside Kelly's, Heather goes over her personal and professional success in her mind as she writes her first column. Let people hate, she thinks. Steve walks up and she shuts her computer. She has been agonizing over her column and can't concentrate because someone is following her. She even counted her pills to make sure she did not miss a dose. But she caught Spin ogling her and he admitted Olivia had hired him. Olivia walks up and Steve asks her if it is true. She admits it is. Heather has been lying for weeks and he is eating it up. Heather agrees to tell the truth. She was with a man she met online, where pathetic and lonely losers go to die. He rented a room at the motel thinking she would put out. She told the cop he was her husband because she was ashamed. Steve admonishes Olivia for snooping. He knows better than anyone what she is capable of. He tells her they will talk tomorrow and leaves to be with Heather.
Michael walks Starr home and they talk about the trying day they have had. He thinks she is doing great considering the circumstances, but she needs to get used to Kate being guilty. That is why what she did with Kate was so amazing. She invites him in for ice cream. They walk in and the place is trashed and the ice cream is all gone. They throw all of Trey's things out the window until they butt heads. They lean in for a kiss but she breaks it off. She feels it too, but she feels like she is cheating on Cole. He understands. He loved Abby and she wonders if he is ready to let her go. He is not sure, but wanting to kiss her felt right. It still does. She does not want to hurt him. He is okay with being friends. He leaves and she thinks about him.
Trey and Kristina talk about the TV show at the club. He is trying to establish a career, but she thinks there has to be more to him. His dad Joe Jr. calls. He hopes the stars are not giving Trey trouble. He can handle them, it is the rest of the cast that are a problem. Joe Jr. encourages Trey to charm them into getting what he wants. Trey admits it has been tougher than he thought, but not to lose faith in him. Would he bankroll it if he didn't? A customer comes in and Joe hangs up. Trey tells Kristina his dad has always been there for him. His mom dumped him off on his dad and left. Kristina kisses him but he breaks it off. He does not need any distraction because his dad went out on a limb. He is not about to fail him. She wonders if he would rather be kissing Starr. He admits he would be attracted to Kristina if they were not working together.
John enters Joe Jr.s shop and pulls a gun on him. He denies he is Joe, but as McBain goes to cuff Joe, he gets hit on the back of the head by a thug. He wakes up tied to a chair. They need John to disappear. Jason busts in shooting and gets the goons. He stops Joe from grabbing his gun. John thanks Jason for the save and wants to call it in. Sometimes the system will get it right. Jason takes Joe Jr. but leaves McBain tied up.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Confraternity (Sodality)
(Lat. confraternitas, confratria)
A confraternity or sodality is a voluntary association of the faithful, established and guided by competent ecclesiastical authority for the promotion of special works of Christian charity or piety. The name is sometimes applied to pious unions, but the latter differ from confraternities inasmuch as they need not be canonically erected and they regard rather the good of the neighbour than the personal sanctification of the members. Confraternities are divided into those properly so called and those to which the name has been extended. Both are erected by canonical authority, but the former have a more precise organization, with rights and duties regulated by ecclesiastical law, and their members often wear a peculiar costume and recite the Office in common. When a confraternity has received the authority to aggregate to itself sodalities erected in other localities and to communicate its advantages to them, it is called an archconfraternity.
Pious associations of laymen existed in very ancient times at Constantinople and Alexandria. In France, in the eighth and ninth centuries, the laws of the Carlovingians mention confraternities and guilds. But the first confraternity in the modern and proper sense of the word is said to have been founded at Paris by Bishop Odo who died in 1208. It was under the invocation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Various other congregations, as of the Gonfalon, of the Holy Trinity, of the Scapular, etc., were founded between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. From the latter century onwards, these pious associations have multiplied greatly. Indulgences are communicated to confraternities either directly by the pope or through the bishops, unless the association be aggregated to an archconfraternity (it may not be aggregated to more than one) through which it participates in the latter's privilege. If the aggregation be not made according to the prescribed formula, the Indulgences are not communicated. The directors of confraternities are appointed or approved by the bishop, or in the churches of regulars by the regular superior. Only after such appointment can the director apply the Indulgences to the objects which he blesses, and he cannot subdelegate this power without special faculty. The reception of members must be carried out by the appointed person. The observance of the rules is not binding in conscience nor does their neglect deprive a person of membership, though in the latter case the Indulgences would not be obtained. The loss of all its members for a short time does not dissolve a confraternity, and by the reception of new members the Indulgences may again be gained. The dissolution, translation, and visitation of confraternities belong to the ordinary. The canon law governing these associations is found in the Constitution of Clement VIII (7 Dec., 1604) with some modification made later by the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences.

Silly Old Coot
When I was a child, my siblings and I oftentimes called one another nonsensical names– "old coot" and "silly old coot" are two insults we frequently relied upon. I am not sure from where we picked up these idioms, but I am positive we did not know a coot is a charming water bird.
As I was leaving Eastern Point Saturday afternoon, I nearly ran over two coots that were in the road adjacent to Niles Pond. There was a crowd of birders positioned along the water's edge with binoculars and cameras equipped with stupendously enormous telephoto lenses. Quickly parking, I grabbed the video camera, with no time to set-up the tripod. For the most part the birds stayed in the middle of the pond, however several times the coots swam closer to shore, with cover provided by the tall grasses. Coots have a sprightly way of paddling, sort of a bobbing swim, and I thought the jaunty melody of this Beethoven symphony mirrored their movements. Featuring, in order of appearance, Ruddy Duck, Red-breasted Merganser, American Coot, female Ring-necked Duck, and female Mallard.
Total length 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

BOSTON -- Ashley Wagner got a place on the U.S. Olympic team despite finishing fourth in the national championships on Saturday, when she fell twice in the free skate.
Third-place Mirai Nagasu, the only one of the top four finishers with Olympic experience, was bumped when U.S. Figure Skating announced the selections Sunday.
Wagner joins new national champion Gracie Gold and runner-up Polina Edmunds on the team for next month's
An emotional Wagner, her voice cracking, said, "I'm at a loss for words right now. I'm happy my federation was able to see beyond one bad skate."
In pairs and dance, the selection committee followed the results from nationals.
Marissa Castelli-Simon Shnapir and Felicia Zhang - Nathan Bartholomay got the two pairs places.
The three dance spots went to Meryl Davis-Charlie White, Madison Chock-Evan Bates and siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani.
The USFS Olympic selection procedure was left vague purposely to give wiggle room for someone like Wagner, 22, winner of the previous two national titles, if she did not make the top three at these championships.
"We don't use a single competition as the sole measurement for who should participate in the Olympic Winter Games," USFS President Patricia St. Peter said Sunday.
Nagasu finished fourth in the 2010 Olympics. She was the only one of the top four who did essentially clean (one underrotated jump) short and long programs in these championships.
"Hopefully theyt pick me to the team," Nagasu had said Saturday. "I haven't always been the most consistent skater, but under pressure I have been the most consdisureemt skater most of the time."

- Universal Ballet : Company News
[Review-Swan Magazine] 2011 Onegin at LG Arts Center
Scroll down to see the English translation below.
[Translation] Review was published in the quarterly Japanese dance magazine SWAN (2011 winter)
Universal Ballet, along with some guest dancers from Stuttgart Ballet, presented Onegin with an oriental spirit.
John Cranko's Onegin is one of those must-see performances that is worth crossing the sea to get a look at. As one of the three companies in Asia who have acquired the rights to perform it, after an interval of two years, last November, just when the season was getting close to winter in Japan, Universal Ballet bewitched us with the dreamlike world of Onegin.
"Onegin" – a production all dancers dream of performing someday
Universal Ballet is the longest-standing private ballet company in Korea with a history of 27 years, and a well-balanced, broad range of repertoire from classic to modern. The company's long-time dream of performing Onegin was finally realized when they succeeded in obtaining the rights to perform it after 10 years of efforts. The principal casting was decided by the guest staff from Stuttgart Ballet. There is no guarantee, even to principal dancers, to obtain the role of Onegin and Tatiana. The famous story of Manuel Legris, choosing Onegin for his last performance with Paris Opera Ballet, symbolizes the keen desires of dancers wishing to dance Onegin at least once during their dance career. Visionary scenes were added to Alexander Pushkin's verse novel to brighten up the original story. This is an absolute masterpiece of classical ballet.
Two pas de deux condensing ballet aesthetic
Onegin, bored with city life, trampled on the feelings of a naive romantic girl named Tatiana, in a sulky manner, while visiting the town where she lived. His attitude led to a tragedy after a conflict with Olga, and he ended up killing his friend Lenski out of his aggravated frustration.
Later, returning after a long exile, Onegin, invited to Prince Gremin's ball, was surprised to find that Tatiana, now Prince Gremin's wife, had become so sophisticated and beautiful. Onegin tries in vain to attract her attention. Tatiana, who had been in the depths of despair due to her unrequited love for him in the past, gains the strength from her traumatic experience to make a clean break with Onegin.
Among the ballet's highlights are the Mirror and Letter Pas de deux of Tatiana and Onegin. Without using a single piece of music from Tchaikovsky's Evgeny Onegin opera score, renowned pianist Kurt-Heinze Stolze has collected little-known Tchaikovsky pieces and arranged them into a ballet score. His score engenders a perfect harmony between the music of Romeo and Juliette used as a motif in act 2, and fantastic music, full of poignant grief and anxiety, from Francesca da Rimini in act 3, as if they were made for each other. In the Mirror pas de deux the enamored Tatiana dances with the illusion of Onegin in her dream, giving a clear portrayal of her soaring heart, reflected in the numerous overhead lifts in the choreography. In the Act 3 Letter pas de deux the ground shifts, and Tatiana comes into conflict with her love towards Onegin. In order to protect her pride and way of life, Tatiana steels her mind and resolutely tears the letter from her beloved Onegin into pieces.
At the moment when their feelings reach each other, after a long time of separation, Tatiana demonstrates sad affection. This is the scene when ballerinas must show their vulnerability.
Guest principal dancers bearing the future of Stuttgart Ballet!
Stuttgart Ballet principal dancers Evan McKie and Hyo-Jung Kang (Korean) joined the cast as guest dancers. McKie's tall, handsome appearance and dancing style are perfectly suited to the modern image of Onegin.
Onegin's character is elaborate with the contrast between his heartless rejection of Tatiana at the beginning and his remorse and earnest attempt to win her heart in the final scene.
Even while performing vigorous overhead lifts, McKie maintains a graceful and charming appearance, on occasion even raising ripples of excitement through the audience. Tatiana's complex emotional conflict in the final scene leaves the audience to draw their own diverse interpretations.
Our beloved Onegin someday in Japan
The costume designs by Thomas Mika displayed striking originality, inspired by the beauty of the piece coupled with Asian refinement. Lead supporting dancers raised the quality of the performance: Konstantin Novoselov as Lenski and Naeun Kim as Olga, joined by Minwoo Kang, who stood out in both appearance and technique.
"In any role, whether it be a lead role or a supporting role, I make my best effort to give the role everything I have," says Minwoo, adding that he is looking forward to the company's visit to Japan in January.
"We are constantly working to bring ballet to the attention of the general public here in Korea," says Universal Ballet General Director Julia Moon. "It is a dream of mine that one day we can present our beloved Onegin before the Japanese public, with their well-developed aesthetic sensibility."
Building on the success of Onegin here, we hope those who hold the rights to perform this exceptional work will bring it to Japan, to the riveting attention of Japan's ballet public. Onegin is one of the works that balletomanes hold most dear, along with Swan Lake and Giselle.

To the editor: The other day, I attended a meeting at the museum that included our superintendent of schools, school principals and administrators.
The topics presented were most varied and absolutely current for the economic conditions of today: the role of schools in our county and the problems confronting our school system now and in the future.
Of note to me was the excellent presentation of an ongoing program to reduce the rate of high school dropouts and buck this national trend. Brunswick County wants no part of that.
To the editor: It is difficult to feel sorry for General Motors, based on its sordid past.
If GM gets a dime of taxpayer bailout, it should be to reinstate the clean electric rail system this country once enjoyed.
How many people have even heard of the "General Motors Streetcar conspiracy?" Between 1936 and 1950, GM bought out more than 100 electric surface-traction systems in 45 cities and replaced them with their filthy GM buses. At the time, 90 percent of all trips in the U.S. were by clean electric rail.
To the editor: Regardless of one's political affiliation, I think we can all agree our nation is facing a severe economic crisis. Pointing fingers and laying blame will accomplish little.
Finding solutions to ease the pain of people should be our government's first concern.
To the editor: I believe everyone should be held accountable for their actions—adults and children alike.
My family and I attended the Shallotte Christmas parade. I have never been so appalled by the actions of grown women and men in an environment where everyone around you can see and hear everything that you do.
I have never encountered such disregard and disrespect for others than I did that day.
To the editor: While driving through Shallotte a few days ago, I noticed a strange message on the marquee of a local restaurant.
It read: "It's called CHRISTmas."
Strange, because many other establishments have no qualms about celebrating the Holy Day; however, to avoid offending anyone, they attempt to be politically correct and omit Jesus.
No thought is given about offending Christians who know Jesus is the reason for the very existence of Christmas.
To the editor:
A recent article in the Beacon highlighted an awards ceremony for volunteers for their service to Brunswick County.
Recipients were individuals and groups cited for their contributions as part of the Governor's Award for outstanding service to the county.
Among those worthy recipients for honors bestowed was special recognition for the St. James Fire Department and its large volunteer organization, including a fire auxiliary that raises money and provides support and maintenance.
It's always great to hear of billionaires donating money and resources to organizations, especially children's charities, but to me, it means more when you hear of hard-working, everyday people going the extra mile to make a contribution or donation simply because they want to, not because they have an extra million or two laying around and send out press releases announcing their good deeds to the world.
According to the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, in Brunswick County in 2007, 183 women younger than 19 became pregnant. The youngest reported was a mere 12 years old. Across the state, more than 20,000 women younger than 19 got pregnant last year.
In the Brunswick County Health Department's Community Assessment for 2007, the report indicated the county "continues to have an unusually high rate of teen pregnancy," referring to 296 children born to mothers younger than 19 during a year-and-a-half period.
To the editor: Shallotte lost another of our town forefathers last month.
Those of you who have been here for a long time remember Dykes Tires as Shady Park Esso, which opened around 1940.
You remember Dykes checking your tires, looking under the hood, chit-chatting while he filled up your tank, never seeming to be in a hurry for you to leave.
If you owned a television at all in 1988 you probably remember the scene that played out on countless "entertainment" television shows, and the follow-up images and stories that later came in newspapers and magazines.
That was the year media tycoon Oprah Winfrey rolled a wagon of fat onto the set of her show representing the 67 pounds she reportedly lost. Since then the daytime talk show host has become a spokesperson for many—touting eating healthier and exercising.
Since we're knocking on 2009's door, this is the time of the year when, among everything else, we're inundated with the "best-ofs" and the "year-in-reviews" and all other shows, programs, stories and broadcasts remembering all things great in 2008.
I watched one such show last week, and I think that'll be enough to last me for at least another year.
I found it mind-numbingly predictable, and I'm willing to bet all the rest will be equally unsurprising.
I don't think any of us needed an official announcement to know that. We've seen too many of our neighbors and friends losing jobs, losing income and struggling to make it. We've experienced it ourselves.
It's good to know, then, in these troubled times, some people are stepping up to the plate to make things a little better here in Brunswick County.
To the editor: I would like to know who thought up the turnaround on U.S. 17 and Ocean Isle Beach Road?
Instead of putting up a traffic light, which would have been safer for drivers, now they have you crossing three lanes to make a U-turn to go south on U.S. 17.
I feel this must have been a first-grade project. I don't think an adult would have thought of something like this turnaround. It is backing up traffic on Ocean Isle Beach Road, which we never had before this turnaround was put in.
To the editor: The following excerpt is written by Rev. William J.H. Boetcker from the turn of the century. Its relevance to today's political climate is quite evident.
To the editor: A mother sat next to the fireplace lost in thought. Three years ago that day, her oldest child left and never returned home.
A year later, her other child, next to the oldest, joined his brother in heaven. Her sadness echoed through the house. She did what all mothers do when they are hurting—she called her mother.
"Please pray for God to comfort me. I just feel so broken. I know that he has reassured me over and over that the children are with him, but I am sure that he understands the heart of a mother."
Last week proved to be a week of firsts for my son. It began with trip to the dentist and culminated with a Christmas parade and ride on a double-decker carousel.
Last Thursday, I was extremely nervous—much more nervous than my son, who would be the one in the dentist's chair. How would I keep him still for the exam? What if he bit the dentist? What if we had to wait a long time before our appointment?
Since 1973, around Christmas time, I have dressed up in an authentic Santa Claus suit and experienced joy with countless children and adults at home and overseas.
This story shares highlights of a wonderful hobby.
The Origin of St. Nicholas
A credible account appeared in The Brunswick Beacon on Dec. 20, 2007, titled "The history behind the real Saint Nicholas; Yes there is a Santa Claus" by Dewey Simpson, Special To The Beacon.
There are three things I vowed never to do in this life: Go bungee-jumping (I still haven't), eat beets (I still don't) and wait outside on cold concrete in the wee hours waiting to buy some fool thing on Black Friday.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
To the editor: In reference to Frank Smith's letter: "Unhappy with Police Department."
Just to make a point of Mr. Smith's letter, I did some research regarding his statement that the Shallotte Police Department allegedly said a crime had not been committed since no money changed hands and an investigation would not be warranted.
I researched the North Carolina General Statutes and a partial reading of Article 19, False Pretenses and Cheats, states:
"Obtaining property by false pretenses:
A hood that was pulled up from a sweatshirt covered his head. To block the uncharacteristically cold wind that was blowing, he had a jacket tightened around him.
From beneath it I could see that familiar red apron indicating he was standing in the cold for a good reason—he was a bell-ringer for the Salvation Army.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) will hold a second hearing into Bendigo Stadium's bid for 30 more poker machines.
The hearing, set for Monday, October 15, will discuss legal issues relating to the planning scheme raised in the July hearing.
"This new hearing will consider whether the proposed installation and use of the additional machines at Bendigo Stadium actually requires a planning permit," City of Greater Bendigo's director of planning and development Prue Mansfield said.
"Following this hearing, VCAT will deliberate and review evidence from both hearings and will make a decision on this issue within four to five weeks."
The initial hearing in July sat for four days and heard two appeals concurrently with the CoGB contesting the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation's approval of 30 new licences at the stadium and the Bendigo Stadium appealing against the CoGB's refusal to approve a planning permit for the machines.
The City of Greater Bendigo has adopted a policy that states it is opposed to more machines in the municipality.
By June punters had injected more than $43.5 million into pokies in the Greater Bendigo region for the 2011-12 financial year.

Immediately after USC finished its embarrassing season, embattled Coach Lane Kiffin proclaimed that he would sign the nation's No. 1 recruiting class.
But Wednesday, the first day that high school players could sign national letters of intent, USC didn't even finish No. 1 in Los Angeles.
According to Mike Farrell of Rivals.com, UCLA finished ahead of USC in its rankings for the first time since 2002. The Bruins also outpaced USC on other websites that track recruiting.
"They had a great season," Kiffin said of UCLA. "Obviously, we had a really bad season and so we felt that competitiveness in recruiting."

From dramatic distinction to dramatic design, Pioneer's new GM-Series amplifiers are thrillers in every sense, pushing the limits of flexibility and functionality.
The 2-channel GM-A3602 delivers 400 watts max in a compact design - plenty of juice to power your speakers. It's also got built-in high-pass crossover, speaker level inputs for easy connection to an OEM headunit, and oversized power terminals.
CEA2006 Specifications
Pioneer is constantly finding ways to make amplifier technology better. Our new and improved GM-Series prove how you can add cutting edge technology and more power to your system without breaking the bank. Like all Pioneer products, these amps are fully tested to ensure that each is designed and built for performance.
Having more power isn't just about LOUD. It's also about CLEAN, getting the most out of your speakers and your music. Constant road noise makes it hard for the music to be heard clearly. But with 400 watts max. power, you'll get to hear all the words and all the notes.
To suppress power supply loss, GM-Series amplifiers incorporate a large toroidal transformer and are driven using a high-speed switching MOSFET. This stabilization of power supply maintains stable playback of all types of music.
What is power without control? To accommodate the varying range of signal levels coming from today's factory and aftermarket radios, all of Pioneer's GM-series amplifiers feature adjustable gain controls. This means that no matter what kind of radio is connected to this amplifier, the appropriate gain control adjustment can be made to ensure loud, clear, distortion-free music. And even if the gain control level is set improperly, Pioneer's Gain Control Caution feature will automatically reduce the amplifier's output until the headunit volume is decreased to acceptable levels. This added layer of protection helps to prevent damage from occurring to the amplifier and the speakers connected to it due to improper gain control adjustments.
What, you DON'T own a Pioneer headunit? Well, we won't hold it against you. In fact we'll even help you build onto your system. The GM-A3602's speaker level inputs allow you to connect your OEM unit (or any unit that doesn't have the typical RCA-type inputs) without having to buy add-on adapters. SO, the install goes faster, you save money, and you've got a Pioneer amp in your vehicle.

June 3, 2013 — The North Dakota attorney general's office on Wednesday said a district court judge should not add a supplemental complaint to a lawsuit challenging a 2011 state law that effectively bans medication abortion, the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead reports (Jerke, Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, 5/29).
The law was set to take effect in August 2011, but the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Fargo-based Red River Women's Clinic, arguing that the law unconstitutionally restricts abortion access for women. North Dakota District Judge Wickham Corwin halted the law from taking effect while the suit proceeded, and in April 2012 he announced he would strike it down as unconstitutional.
The law mandates that any drug used to induce abortion must meet FDA protocols and that its label is intended for use in abortion care. The law would prohibit the use of misoprostol -- one of the two drugs used in medication abortions -- because the drug is labeled for the treatment of stomach ulcers (Women's Health Policy Report, 4/19).
CRR's Supplemental Complaint
CRR on May 15 filed a supplemental complaint in the suit to challenge a separate law (SB 2305) that requires physicians who provide abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion facility (Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, 5/29). The law is scheduled to take effect on Aug. 1 (Women's Health Policy Report, 4/11).
In its filing, CRR argued that the new law is unconstitutional because it imposes medically unwarranted requirements on the clinic. The organization also said the law would infringe on a woman's right to an abortion since the facility -- the only abortion clinic in the state -- would be unable to meet the law's requirements and have to close.
CRR argued that it can add the complaint because the 2011 and 2013 laws relate to the same legal and factual matters.
Attorney General's Response
The state attorney general's office argued that the court should reject the complaint because it attempts to introduce a separate and new lawsuit, which would place prejudice against the state and unnecessarily impede the 2011 lawsuit.
"Granting the plaintiffs' motion will improperly and unnecessarily delay resolution of this case for months and possibly years while the parties conduct discovery, file motions, and prepare and attend trial regarding facts that are separate, distinct, and unrelated to the original cause of action," the response states.
Assistant Attorney General Douglas Anderson explained that the state "wants to get the [current] case resolved" so that it can bring the matter to the state Supreme Court.
The response also argued that the complaint "would be premature and may prove futile," since the supporters of the law currently are seeking to refer the matter to a statewide vote, which would mean "the other case may not need to be tried" (Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, 5/29).

"Memories of My Melancholy Whores" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera" is a popular travel companion, but I'll go with this later publication of his, which is much shorter and a quicker read. It caught a lot of flak when published in 2004, and was even banned in Iran. But really is a touching love story, albeit about a 90-year-old man and a pubescent who sells her virginity to him in order to help her family. -- Matthew Wood

Last week against this same Atlanta team Heisey had six hits in two games and did a pretty good job getting while most of the playing time in LF. If Stubbs or anyone else on the Reds for that matter sat everytime they went 0-5 the day before they would never leave the bench.
